Chapter 118: "The Scholar"
Chapter 118 "Book of Champions"
Everyone pulled out their weapons, Bai Wutong asked Huang Zhong, "Where is the beast?"
Huang Zhong pointed to a camphor tree not far from them and said, "It's there!"
Everyone looked at it in unison, and the beast hid its big shrugging tail with a "swoosh".
Bai Wutong saw the flashing white tail and guessed that it was the little snow wolf again.
Huang Zhong also recognized it. Thinking of the wild and wild talk Cui Lingyi told everyone, he immediately asked nervously: "Madam, is it going to follow us back and let the wolves take revenge on us?"
Bai Wutong shook his head and said, "We didn't hurt it, and it won't hurt us, let's go."
Everyone carried the wild boar and continued to drive back, and the little snow wolf followed closely behind.
When Bai Wutong turned back occasionally, it would cautiously stick out a head from behind the tree, or a big shrugging tail, with a pleasing look in its green eyes, and it was strangely endearing.
Chu Tianbao just turned his head, he hid his entire body tightly like a cat met a mouse.
When they returned to the village, Huang Zhong could still smell it lingering nearby.
Zhao Pengfei greeted him, and Lin Yue talked to him, inadvertently talking about the little white wolf he met in the forest.
Zhao Pengfei said in surprise: "I asked the local villagers, the wolves in Yuling Mountain are all gray hairs."
Lin Yue said: "Maybe the number is rare, they haven't encountered it before."
Zhao Pengfei nodded, thinking it was possible.
Bai Wutong thought of another possibility, the little snow wolf is a rare albino gray wolf.
The probability of an albino gene appearing in each population is 1 in 500,000. If the little snow wolf was originally a gray wolf, and it does not have the ability to prey on its own, but appears alone on the edge of the forest, it is highly likely to be abandoned by the wolves.
It hid behind a tree and peeked at itself. Its green eyes were full of deep anticipation and joy. Bai Wutong's heart softened. I hope it is not an albino gray wolf and can successfully find its own group.
After they entered the village, Little Snow Wolf's breath gradually disappeared, and he probably quietly returned to the forest.
They came back with a wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms, and the village suddenly boiled. Yang Quanzi's eyes lit up, and he said to Yanggong: "It's really time for you to come today, let's go and see the big wild boar!"
The wild boar was carried into the village in a mighty manner and placed in the slate yard of the white phoenix tree. Adults and children all gathered to watch.
The village chief Zhao arranged for a pig slaughterer, and also called Aunt Yang and the others to boil water to remove the wild boar hair.
As soon as Yang Gongbing and Yang Quanzi came in, they saw Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao standing aside, watching the pig slaughter lively with everyone.
The two immortal-like people, stained with the fireworks of the world, are not far away, just like a loving couple.
Yang Gongbing did not expect Bai Wutong to be so young. After he was surprised, he followed Yang Quanzi to greet Bai Wutong.
Lord Yang said respectfully, "Mrs. Bai, hello, Mr. Chu."
Bai Wutong returned with Chu Tianbao: "Hello, Mr. Yang."
After a few greetings, Bai Wutong saw that Yang Gongbing had something to say to her, so he invited him and Yang Quanzi into the room for a cup of hot tea.
Yang Gongbing entered the house with them. There were no servants in their house. Bai Wutong went to Duxin, and Chu Tianbao went to make tea.
Yang Gongbing saw that it was Chu Tianbao who was serving the hot tea, and gave him a surprised look before quickly accepting it and thanking him.
Bai Wutong brought out two plates of dried fruits and a plate of rice cakes, smiled and said politely: "The house is simple, don't mind Mr. Yang."
Bai Wutong's house is not as big as Yang Quanzi's house, but the decoration atmosphere is more warm, especially the sofa you see when you enter the house, and the soft stool sitting on your butt, which is not only romantic but also very comfortable.
Lord Yang exaggeratedly exclaimed: "Where, where, the seats in Madam's house are exquisite! Yang Miao's life is only seen."
Yang Quanzi stroked his beard and smiled: "Indeed! The old man has also made a copy, which can be used tomorrow."
Yang Gongbing was full of admiration. He originally thought that the teacher had played with elegance and taste in the applause, but Mrs. Bai was even better than the teacher.
Bai Wutong smiled, "If Lord Yang likes it, you can take the blueprint."
Yang Gongbing hurriedly shook his head, "This is reluctant, how can Yangmou take away the drawings carefully designed by Madam."
Bai Wutong said: "The adults have given us a lot of help in Youjia Village. This is my little care."
Yang Gongbing repeatedly refused, Bai Wutong tried his best to explain that it was just a drawing, everyone in their village could use it, and Yang Gongbing finally accepted it.
Yang Gongbing praised Bai Wutong inside and out again, and then he entered the topic, asking Bai Wutong if he could report the clean paper to the court.
Bai Wutong glanced at him unexpectedly, thinking he was talking about movable type printing.
The result is just cleaning paper.
Yang Quanzi didn't even tell him about movable type printing, which surprised Bai Wutong.
Having said that, Yang Gongbing hurriedly stood up again and gave a half salute, finding Bai Wutong who cared about the tunnel: "Ma'am, the promotion of paper machines and cleaning paper to the people will not only benefit the people, but also get the great rewards from the court. , exempt from grain tax, exempt from labor and military service, Madam and Master Chu can also settle down as soon as possible."
Bai Wutong really didn't care about the reward, but she was moved by the fact that Chu Tianbao could be exempted from labor and military service.
She glanced at Chu Tianbao, who was drinking tea and eating snacks, and asked, "Isn't it necessary to participate in military service for a lifetime?"
Lord Yang said with a smile: "It is certainly possible to get the approval of the court."
Bai Wutong said readily: "Okay, then report it."
This world originally had paper-making and paper-making machines. She just made some improvements on the original basis. Even if the cleaning paper attracted the attention of the court, she should not let her modern heart be exposed.
Bai Wutong readily agreed, and Yang Gongbing said excitedly, "Mrs. Bai is great!"
Bai Wutong smiled, "Master Yang is very polite, my husband will be troubled by the matter of being exempted from military service."
The state of Yan and Ling were at war. Although the state of Yan was about to be defeated, if it dragged on for a few years and the state of Ling wanted to recruit troops again, Chu Tianbao would be taken away.
With such an opportunity, Bai Wutong naturally has to ensure that it is foolproof.
Yang Gongbing nodded quickly, "Don't worry, Madam Bai, Yangmou will do her best to fight for it, and she will not let Madam Bai down."
Everyone nodded in satisfaction.
They returned to the yard again. Yang Gongbing watched Aunt Yang and the others shed their pig hairs with curiosity. Yang Quanzi leaned in front of Bai Wutong and asked in a low voice, "Mrs. Bai, can this old man ask for one more thing for my apprentice?"
Bai Wutong was taken aback, "What?"
Yang Quanzi looked at his back and said with a smile: "Mrs. brat is afraid of the cold, and is very fond of the floor heating designed by Mrs. Madam. If Mrs. agrees, the old man is willing to exchange the painstakingly written "Book of Champions" with Mrs.
