Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 261
Lan Tian looked at A Dou in disbelief, and then at Gan Qian innocently, thinking that your son should write novels.

Gan Qian hurriedly asked, "Adou, who told you all this?"

A Dou muttered in a low voice: "I promised to keep it a secret."

Gan Qian snarled coquettishly, "You bastard, how can you lie to your parents?"

Lan Tian saw that Adou was about to cry, so he quickly bumped Adou's little butt with his hand, and coaxed him with a smile: "The big man rules the world with filial piety, and Adou is so smart, how could he disobey his mother?"

A Dou leaned on Lantian's shoulder, glanced at Gan Qian secretly, and then said in a low voice: "Sister Wan told me that her mother was trapped in the same yard with you. Fight off the bad guys in the courtyard."

"She's right, but your uncle was at the time." Gan Qian was in the middle of speaking, wondering if she should tell the truth.

A Dou went on to add: "Uncle was so powerful at the time, he punched an enemy back, and the dead man's chest was covered in blood, so I guess he punched through."

"What else did she say?" Gan Qian asked again.

A Dou rolled her small eyes, "Sister Wan's mother told her to remember her kindness, and to respect uncle especially when she grows up."

Hearing this, Lan Tian and Gan Qian looked at each other and smiled, it turned out that Mi Zhen still remembered this past event before she was alive.

Women in this era are already miserable. Mi Zhen guessed that after her death, her daughter Liu Wan would be raised by Gan Qian.

Mi Zhen knows that Lan Tian is more capable than her two elder brothers, and that she and Lu Lingqi are often praised by outsiders for their harmony, so she teaches Liu Wan to be grateful for being close to Lan Tian, ​​so that she will be protected by Lan Tian in the future.

Lan Tian explained calmly: "At that time, your mother and Wan'er's mother were hiding in the room, and my uncle was actually holding a sword in his hand, and there were several guards to help."

"Uncle must be being modest. Father often says that about you." A Dou glared at him.

Lan Ji also booed, "Father loves this, and the two uncles, General Guan and General Zhang, also said the same."

Gan Qian smiled wryly: "Ziyu, don't explain yourself, who told you to act low-key and modest?"

Lan Tian then put the two children on the ground, waved and said, "Let General Guan and General Zhang hug you, they are the real martial arts masters."

Lan Ji didn't really want to hug him, he just wanted to feel his father's love up close. During this period of time, Lan Tian was so busy that he often didn't see anyone all day long.

A Dou was a little unsure, Lan Ji put his hands on his shoulders, and said in a low voice and mysteriously: "Is there any woman in the world who can beat a man? My aunt can't beat my uncle, right? That's why my mother can't beat my father either."

"Auntie is no ordinary woman." A Dou said doubtfully.

The two children whispered to each other, embarrassing the two adults behind them. When they walked into the yard, they found that Lu Lingqi was not there. Lan Tian asked Gan Qian suspiciously, "Where did Madam go?"

"The weather is too hot now. My siblings have gone back to take a shower to relieve the heat. You are tired and go back to the house early to rest. I will take the children to sleep first." Gan Qian replied.

"It's so hot in the room, father, I really can't sleep, can I watch the stars in the yard, and then go back to the house when it's not hot?" Lan Ji kept in mind the agreement at three o'clock in Xushi.

"Uncle, why don't you tell us a story?" Adou followed suit.

"Do you have a story to listen to?" Lan Yuan also came over after pouring out the footwashing water.

Lan Tian looked at the stars in the sky, and he remembered that the moon is a crescent moon, and the moon only appears in the western sky in the evening. No wonder the stars are so dazzling tonight. Lu Lingqi's plan to appreciate the moon may fail.

"Ziyu, it's been unbearably hot these few nights, why don't you let the children cool off in the yard?" Seeing the children saying this, Gan Qian couldn't help but chime in.

Lan Tian looked at the children full of anticipation, and suddenly remembered the days when he was young watching the starry sky in the countryside. It was also a day without fans and air conditioners, and he relied on the wind of nature to survive the scorching heat.

Lan Tian moved a few low tables to make beds, and asked the maid to spread mats on them, which looked like a long bunk.

"Ziyu, you let the children sleep in the yard at night? Not only are they bitten by mosquitoes, but they are also prone to cold." Gan Qian asked worriedly.

"It's cooler in the courtyard, let the children sleep for a while, and then take them back to the house later."

Lan Tian recalled that when he was young, he often slept in the open air. The conditions at that time seemed to be worse than now. He always slept in a large round dustpan, supported by two long benches. The stars back then were the same as they are now. shiny.

"Okay, Ziyu, watch them first, I'll go see if Wan'er and Shu'er are asleep." Gan Qian nodded.

"If it's stuffy in the room, call them out to enjoy the cool air." Hearing what Adou said, Lan Tian felt a little touched. Don't look at Mi Zhen's temper as a young lady, who is still planning for her daughter when she is dying. This is the so-called maternal love, right? .

Gan Qian empathized and turned back to the house, while Lan Tian was lying in the middle of the 'Tongpu'. He looked at the sky and said, "Come here, children, I will teach you stargazing."

"Father, what star is that?" Lan Ji asked, pointing to a star.

Lan Tian looked in the direction of the little hand and found that the child actually asked about a special star. He smiled and said to everyone: "You all better remember this star. Its name is Polaris. If you get lost in the night If you know the direction, you can use it to identify the direction, and the North Star points to the north."

A Dou asked suspiciously: "But these stars are all similar, how can we find Polaris?"

Lan Tian smiled and said, "Observe carefully, the stars in the sky are actually moving slowly, but the Polaris is the only one that doesn't move. Another way is to find the Big Dipper, which is the seven close together not far from it. "

"I saw it, but the shape seems to be very special." Lan Yuan said to himself.

"Isn't it like a spoon? The first four are buckets, and the remaining three are bucket handles. The mouth of the bucket is facing the North Star." Lan Tian continued to introduce.

"Really, this spoon is easier to find." A Dou sat up excitedly, at this time Gan Qian took Liu Wan and Liu Shu out to cool off.

"Ziyu has already started talking?" Gan Qian asked with a smile.

Lan Tian replied while lying down: "Well, I teach children stargazing."

"Wan'er, Shu'er, go to bed quickly, your uncle is not often free." Gan Qian joked.

Lan Ji then urged: "Father, please continue to talk."

"Just now I said that the Polaris determines the north, and the spoon-shaped Big Dipper can determine the four seasons. The handle points to the east for spring, the handle points to summer, the handle points to the west for autumn, and the handle points to the north for winter." Lan Tian didn't expect that The studious one is the smallest one.

After hearing this, A Dou had an idea, and asked suspiciously: "If you know the four seasons, wouldn't you be able to determine your position with the Big Dipper?"

Lan Tian looked at A Dou in surprise, gave him a thumbs up, and praised: "A Dou can draw inferences from one example, and a child can be taught."

"What's the name of father's star?" It was the youngest Lan Ji who asked again.

"Sirius."
