Chapter 198 Let's Solve It Together

Asi blinked his eyes, and repeated the question just now: "I'm asking you, the portrait my brother drew doesn't look like the real Fujiman."

Teng'er looked at the dark piece of drawing paper in front of him, and didn't know how to speak.

He hesitated for a moment, then said: "There is a bit of Fujiman's charm..."

The three children followed Yao Shu to learn how to draw with charcoal in the morning. After eating at noon, they played in the yard for a long time. After taking a nap, Ah Si proposed to draw again.

This time she asked Ah Zhi to draw Fujiman, but Ah Zhi seldom paid attention to the plant of Fujiman, and the charcoal was not easy to control, so it was difficult to draw.

After seeing the painting, the expression on Teng'er's face was enough to explain everything.

Ah Zhi threw away the charcoal in his hand, and said depressedly: "I told you to draw a simpler one, isn't the piggy face drawn by A Niang not good? Okay, I have to draw some vines..."

Ah Si pouted: "Aniang said, Brother Teng will grow as strong as Tengman in the future, so let's draw a picture and give it to him, isn't it good?"

Ah Zhi yields to his younger sister in major matters, but always loves to bicker with Ah Si in small matters, seeing her pissed off.

"It was you who wanted to paint, not me, why did you let me paint in the end?"

Asli said confidently: "I won't!"

Ah Zhi refused to give an inch: "If you don't, then don't dislike me for not looking like it!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Teng'er thought it was very funny.

He has no brothers and sisters, and the cousins ​​of the Jiang family have all reached the age of studying and taking the imperial examination. No one has played with him like this.

It seems that there is always silence around him, the only voice that appears is telling him to put on his clothes, the weather is cold and it is easy to catch cold; don't go for a run, sweating and blowing the wind will make you have a fever...

Fujio smiled involuntarily.

Seeing Ah Si again muffled: "My brother's drawing doesn't look like it, because I don't know what the real Tengman looks like, why don't we go and have a look?"

A Zhi curled his lips: "Tengman is everywhere, who hasn't seen it yet!"

Although he said so on his lips, he actually agreed in his heart.

I have seen it before, but Tengman is too ordinary and inconspicuous. He didn't observe carefully, so how can he talk about the painting.

Ah Si was a little unhappy: "Are you going or not?"

Ah Zhi was helpless, as if he had given in to his sister, he said in a loud voice: "Go, go, go, isn't it okay?"

The little girl's drooping face suddenly seemed to be lit up: "My brother is so kind! My brother is the best brother in the world!"

Satisfied, Ah Zhi took the opportunity to ask Ah Si to promise many things that she was unwilling to let go of before.

Seeing this, Teng'er pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't make a sound.

The three children agreed to see Tengman, and when they came home, each of them would draw a picture and compare who painted it.

But when it came time to go out, Teng'er flinched a little.

"I... I don't know if I can go," he whispered.

A Si tilted his head, puzzled and said: "Why can't you go? That place is not far away, let's go out and turn a corner, there is a large area at the end of the alley."

Teng'er opened his eyes slightly.

He couldn't say why he couldn't go out, maybe it was because the maid played with him at the door when he was younger, he blew the wind, and the fever persisted for three days after he got home...

When his fever subsided and he came to his senses, the maid had already been beaten with ten sticks and sold out.

Teng'er later inquired that the maid died not long after she was sold.

Since then, he will not go out easily.

"Brother Fuji doesn't want to play with us?" Ah Si asked.

Facing Ah Si's longing and puzzlement, Teng'er didn't know how to answer, and in the end it was Azhi who made a solution: "Is Teng'er afraid of getting sick?"

The little boy nodded hesitantly, then shook his head: "It's not that I'm afraid of getting sick, I often get sick..."

He tried to explain that he would rather be sick than play with them.

Teng'er thought hard for a long time before saying: "I can go. But if I get sick, maybe my mother won't let me come again..."

At a young age, he is obviously still playing happily with his friends, and he is already thinking about what will happen after the separation.

Ah Zhi is already a very sensible age, he can understand Teng'er's concerns, but Ah Si cannot.

The little girl said in a daze, "Let's take good care of brother Teng, he won't get sick."

The three children stood in front of the study door talking nonstop, and after a while they saw Yao Shu coming out of the main room and asked, "What's the matter? Aren't you painting?"

A Si bounced up to Yao Shu, raised his head and said, "We are discussing whether we should go out to see the vines."

The little girl is a quick learner, and she learned the word "discussion" from Teng'er today.

Yao Shu looked at Teng'er, and clearly saw the longing look in the little boy's eyes.

He was active all the time, not only did he not look tired, but he looked more energetic than when Mrs. Jiang sent him over early in the morning.

She took a few steps forward and asked, "Is Teng'er tired?"

Teng'er shook his head, his eyes sparkling: "I'm not tired."

Yao Shu touched Teng'er's hand, it was warm.

She knelt down and said softly, "Go out and play for a while, it's okay. If you feel uncomfortable, just say it."

With Yao Shu's right words, Teng'er's worries were all gone.Seeing that he nodded in agreement, Ah Si also cheered happily, took his hand and said: "Brother Teng'er, let's go quickly! In addition to looking at Tengman, we can also see if there is any elm next to it! Pick some If you have yuqian, my mother can use it to steam pancakes at night."

She was chirping, like a happy little magpie, and Teng'er couldn't help but look forward to it.

The three children went out.

A Zhi and A Si grew up in the countryside, going up mountains and waters, hunting birds and fish, never less than playing.

Listening to Teng'er talking about staying at home every day, reading and writing, and having nothing else to play, I feel that he is extremely pitiful.

Especially Ah Si, in just half a day, she already liked this brother who played with her very much, and she wished he could come over every day to be with them.

While they were walking, Asi turned his head and asked, "Brother Teng'er, will Aunt Jiang let you come and play tomorrow?"

Teng'er is a little older than Asi, but not much taller than her.

The three of them walked not slowly, and Teng'er was wearing a lot of clothes, and after a while, fine sweat broke out from the palms of their hands.

He nodded, and said in response: "Let's do it."

Ah Si became happy again: "My second cousin is not at home today, when he comes back tomorrow, the four of us can just play with wooden figures together!"

Wooden figurines is a game taught by Yao Shu to children. It is the "three two one wooden figurines" that modern children like, and Ah Si especially likes it.

It's just that Ah Zhi and Yao Erlang felt childish and refused to play with her on the pretext that there were few people.

Teng'er asked curiously, "Wooden man? A villain made of wood?"

Azhi explained from the side: "It's not...it's the name of a game. Every time the game starts, there will be a person blindfolded and shouting 'one two three wooden man'. When he shouts 'one two three' , everyone moves in one direction; when he finishes calling 'wooden man', everyone will turn into a wooden man, keep the original posture, can't move, can't laugh. As long as people move a little, they have to go back to the original point and start again .”

Ah Si nodded: "The first person to reach the finish line wins!"

Teng'er thought about it, and couldn't help but smile, thinking that the "wooden man"'s instructions were very interesting.

"Isn't that whoever runs fastest wins?" he asked.

Ah Si retorted: "Of course not!"

A Zhi was in charge of explaining the rules from the very beginning, and he planned to make it clear to Fuji'er: "Because everyone runs in one direction, the fastest runner will of course move the biggest. If the person who gave the order slowly shouted One, two, three, and then suddenly called the wooden man..."

Suddenly there was a picture in Teng'er's mind, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

The sudden command to stop, not to mention whether the brain can react, the body that is making big movements has no way to stop immediately.

If it happens to stop in the running posture, I am afraid that this "wooden man" is not easy to be.

He originally thought that he would not be able to run fast, but thinking about it this way, it would be very interesting to be the one giving orders.

"Brother Zhi, shall we play this tomorrow?" Teng'er looked at Zhi with sparkling eyes, making it impossible to refuse.

Azhi has long been tired of playing the wooden man game, but thinking that Teng'er has never played it, and it is rare for him to be so interested in a game, he agreed immediately.

"Come over after breakfast tomorrow! Then I'll call my second cousin, and we'll play in the alley outside the yard..."

While they were discussing, they soon arrived at the wall where Tengman was originally said to have been born.

In the countryside, vines can be seen everywhere, but in the town, they can only be found by the walls.

This wall is a consistent bluestone wall, because the ground under the wall is soft, there are a lot of bushes, and there is a vine growing on the wall.

After a burst of spring rain these days, the vegetation is growing strong, even the ivy on the wall is green and looks very energetic.

Ah Zhi and Ah Si came together and started chatting.

"Brother, have you seen that this vine is thick in some places and thin in other places... But your paintings are all of normal thickness, so it doesn't look like it."

"Charcoal is too difficult to draw. If I don't use the same strength to draw, I'm afraid that some vines drawn will be thicker than your arm."

"Oh! You listen to me, just draw like this..."

A Zhi and A Si's seemingly indefatigable voices were in my ears, and Teng'er looked at the vibrant green plants all over the wall. Some branches didn't even need the power of the wall, they took root in the soil by themselves and grew into a bush.

Teng'er's heart was shaken, and he thought to himself: My mother named me Teng'er because she hoped that I would grow up freely and wantonly like Tengman.

But the reason why the vine is flourishing is because it was born in the wilderness, and its branches become thicker after being hit by wind and rain.

He has seen carefully cultivated orchids at home, beautiful and fragile, needing careful care and cultivation to bloom.

He wants to grow into a vine, not an orchid.

After the three children observed Fujiman's appearance, they all had a rough idea in their hearts about how to draw it on paper with charcoal.

Azhi is used to using a brush, but he really can't grasp the strength of charcoal. He is a little worried about how to use the hard tip of charcoal to draw the soft curves of Fujiman; and Ah Si has not been using a brush for a long time, and the first time he comes into contact with charcoal The pen, on the contrary, feels very smooth.

Teng'er also tried charcoal with Yao Shu today, and found it a bit difficult.

He said seriously: "I will also ask my mother to prepare some charcoal when I go home today. We can't draw well in a day or two. If we practice for a few more days, we will always be able to draw well."

Ah Si also nodded and said, "My mother said it! Charcoal can also be used to draw people and write characters. There are so many ways to use it! If we practice well, we can also be great painters, and we will be able to draw thousands of dollars in the future!"

Ah Zhi couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but Teng'er felt that what Ah Si said made sense.

He turned to Ah Si and said, "Sister Ah Si has great ideas. I will practice with you."

The little girl nodded: "I still have several Nine Rings, all of which are very fun! If brother Teng'er likes them, we can solve them together."

Teng'er's eyes lit up: "Sister Ah Si also plays Jiulianhuan? My grandfather gave me one. I'm ashamed to say that it took me more than ten days to solve it..."
