The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

The expected scream did not come for a long time, Xia Silin peeked through the gap between his palms, but saw that Cao Min's blade barely touched Su Jin's fleshy thigh, and then stopped abruptly.

Cao Min scolded: "This guy sleeps like a dead pig, so it's not just pretending to sleep."

With a glance, a small official patted Su Jin's drool-filled face several times in a row, and Su Jin didn't wake up. The small official pushed Su Jin a few more times, and Su Jin still didn't wake up. Did you come from a thief in your previous life?"

Cao Min scratched his head and said, "Zengsheng must find a way to wake him up."

A student was quite vicious and said in the crowd: "Poke him with an iron awl to see if he wakes up. It won't hurt the limbs and the life will hurt, just let it go."

Cao Min took a look at that person, but secretly admired him in his heart, his words were so vicious and dirty, it must be a talent.

Su Jin, who was lying on the bed, scolded the eight generations of this person's ancestors in his heart. In the future, if he has a chance, he will definitely punish this person. At the same time, he secretly prayed that Xia Silin would show up quickly. Isn't this girl afraid of running away? But I have to find a step for myself to wake up on my own, lest the awl will be unbearable later.

Under Cao Min’s acquiescence, everyone’s vicious plots frequently came out. Except for the awl, some said they scalded with boiling water, some said they used a board to hit the face, and there was even a strange person who said they scratched the soles of Su Jin’s feet with goose feathers; Called: "Little girl nainai will show up quickly and at most will not take advantage of you in the future."

Xia Silin seemed to have heard his voice, and finally the soft Bianliang Jingqiang came to his ears, "Students, listen to me."

Xia Silin stepped forward and crowded in front of the crowd, saluted Cao Min, and said, "The person on the bed is my cousin Cao, the method you just said just now may not work. My cousin is born with nocturnal syndrome. Look at his posture. It’s just that the symptoms have broken out, let alone pricking them with an awl and scalding them with water, even with a sword and a sword, I’m afraid it’s hard to wake up.”

Cao Min frowned and said, "Syndrome of nocturnal wandering?"

Xia Silin clasped his hands and said: "Of course this is a family disease. At night, sometimes he acts strangely, sometimes he wakes up naturally when he crows like a dead chicken, but he can't remember everything that happened at night."

Cao Min frowned and thought about nocturnal excursion. He had heard of it, but it was the first time he had seen it. That day, Yingtianfu teahouse was sitting idle. He heard people talk about Hou Laoqi, a farmer in Beicheng, suffering from nocturnal excursion. He got up in the middle of the night to carry his cattle and plow rake. I went to the field to use the moonlight to level several acres of land and land. At the fourth watch, I washed my hands and feet and went back to sleep peacefully. In the morning, I felt sore all over, but for some reason, I remembered that there were still several acres of fields that needed to be leveled in the afternoon, so I pulled the oxen and carried the plow to plow. Tian finally found that the ridges of the field had already been leveled and tidy, and he came back and asked people around to ask people that he had plowed the wrong field; if someone hadn't gotten up in the middle of the night to see him pulling the cow out, no one would have known about it.

Today, I heard that Su Jin suffers from nocturnal swimming disease, and I believe it after comparing the two.

"Does the cock crow wake up on its own? It's only two or more now, but you can't wait until the cock crows. Just now, this Wu student said that there is a man-eating ghost in this room. You have to ask all night to understand that you are his cousin. Is there a way to wake him up?"

Xia Silin said: "There is a way. It's just that Mr. Cao may not remember what he did during the night outing, Mr. Cao, I'm afraid you won't be able to ask anything."

"Let's wake him up." Cao Min waved his hand and said, "I'm so tired that I'm going to die today." He made such a strange thing again in the middle of the night. Just now, he was covered in cold sweat after a frightening action, and his heart was also very irritable.

Seeing his displeasure, Xia Silin didn't dare to say much, so he had to bite the bullet and climb down, blushing, stretched out his jade hands to reach Su Jin's face, and said silently: "The sage didn't intend to have a skin-to-skin relationship with a man in my slave's house, but there was nothing he could do about it." Let the sage forgive his sins."

While talking, he pretended to use a pair of small hands to rub Su Jin's forehead in a circle according to the method taught by Su Jin. After rubbing his forehead, he began to rub his brows, then his cheeks, mouth, and auricles.

Although Su Jin's dark and cool technique is unfamiliar, it is a full set of ancient facial massage. I played tricks on Xia Silin to massage myself by the way, and it was my reward for pretending to be a ghost for her.

The more Xia Silin rubbed, the more he felt that he was at a disadvantage. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he actually took the initiative to touch a man's face, especially when he touched the corner of his mouth. out of breath.

After rubbing for a long time, Su Jin still didn't wake up. Xia Silin came to understand a bit Proud: You can't be polite if you ask you to pretend to be with you.

Sitting on the couch, Su Jin opened his eyes, as if he was startled when he saw the crowds of people in front of him, and the lights were brightly lit. He shrank back and said in panic, "Who are you waiting for? Why did you break into my room in the middle of the night? Is there no law for the academy?"

Seeing his appearance, Xia Silin secretly admired him for his good performance and said, "Brother Su, you woke up and your nocturnal wandering syndrome has reappeared."

Su Jin put on his clothes indiscriminately and said: "Don't talk nonsense that you are suffering from nocturnal excursions because you slept well."

Xia Silin suppressed a smile and said, "What's more, Mr. Cao has been here for a long time, but he still can't wake you up. You have no choice but to wake you up with the method handed down in your family."

Su Jin suddenly realized: "So I know that the auricle is so painful. Every time I wake up with the family method, the ear always hurts like hell. It turns out that it is a good thing you did."

Xia Silin's face turned red with embarrassment, and he glanced at him and stopped talking.

Cao Min shouted, "Su Jin, do you suffer from nocturnal wandering?"

Su Jin scratched his head and said, "That's right, there is no cure for a family-inherited disease, but it only occurs at night and is harmless to others."

Cao Min was depressed: "No harm to others. The whole academy was quarreled by you and you said it was harmless to others. He held back his breath and said, "Why didn't you inform the academy in advance?"

Su Jinqi said: "This is a personal private college. Do you also need to know? Does the college have a rule that people with nocturnal excursions are not allowed to enroll?"

Cao Min said in a deep voice: "It's not just that you have such a disease that you need to call in advance. You woke up the whole academy and you even scared Wu Hengxin, a student in the same room, to death. Do you remember? ?”

Su Jin was stunned and said, "Is there going to be such a thing?"

Wu Hengxin understood at this moment that this was caused by Su Jin's nocturnal excursion, not by evil spirits. He boldly said angrily: "You still pretend to be confused and see what you have done in this house today. You have to do it today." Make it clear."

Su Jinyou looked around and his acting skills were incomparably superb. His eyes looked confused and swept across the mess on the ground, and suddenly he burst into tears and yelled, "My bad chicken feet, who ate my chicken feet."

Everyone was startled and didn't know what he was talking about. They saw Su Jin pick up Bai Shengsheng's two mutilated chicken feet with both hands on the ground, and stared angrily, "Who stole it?" who broke into the lower bedroom and ate my chicken feet and even dipped it in my pumpkin sauce, who is so wicked?"

Everyone saw him beating his chest, stamping his feet, yelling and arguing, everyone was like falling into the clouds and fog, Su Jin vented, pointed at Wu Hengsheng and said, "It must be you, I bought it back in the night and hid it in the cabinet. You are the only one who saw you and asked if it was you." ?”

Wu Hengxin hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I didn't eat it, I really didn't eat it, I don't like chicken feet, I like chicken butt; besides, I never eat pumpkin sauce, I always eat it with leeks and garlic, so don't do me wrong."

Su Jin grabbed him and made a fuss, Cao Min scratched his head, the incident made him utterly battered, first he said that there were evil spirits eating children's hands, why now he talked about chicken feet dipped in pumpkin sauce, and saw the two pushing and shoving, making a noise endlessly Cao Min looked at this and that and had nowhere to start.
