Chapter 50 Paper Crane (Revised)
Knowing that his family was coming to Yangzhou, Xue Biao kept talking about his sister for several days.How good the younger sister on the left is to him, and how well-behaved and outstanding the younger sister on the right is.

Jiang Yuanbai praised him the most, and he would nod in agreement with Xue Biao's compliments, and he also used Xue Biao's words to praise his two younger sisters.

Qian Dayou listened to their bragging for several days, but finally couldn't hold back.Pulling Chen Heng, he complained: "But they are so angry that they just show that they have a younger sister. We both have older sisters, and we haven't seen us come out to shout."

"If you want to yell, when the two of them come back, I will yell a few times with you, and I will also vent my anger for you." Chen Heng watched Xue Biao and Jiang Yuan go out hand in hand, and quickly gave his own suggestion.

"Forget it, forget it." Qian Dayou seemed to be recalling something, his face was full of pain and sorrow, and after a long time, he said in a low tone, "My sister really has nothing to brag about."

Frightened by his expression, Chen Heng didn't dare to ask more questions.

Seeing that Chen Heng didn't speak, Qian Dayou said to himself: "I didn't want to come to the academy at first, how comfortable it is to be at home. After a while, my parents couldn't do anything about me. As a result, the elder sister found out from nowhere, rushed to my room, pressed me on the bed and beat me..."

At the end of the sentence, Qian Dayou started crying unconsciously, but he was born chubby and chubby. This behavior made Chen Heng burst into laughter, and it took him a while to stop.

"It's funny, isn't it?" Qian Dayou struggled to open his eyes wide, and looked at Chen Heng viciously.

"I suddenly remembered that I haven't been to the Tiren Pavilion for a long time." Chen Heng hurriedly got up, covering his mouth to suppress his smile, and ran to the Tiren Pavilion with a pen, ink and paper.

When I walked into the gate of the gymnasium, there were not many people inside.Just as Chen Heng stepped over the gate, he stopped in place for no reason.He hesitated for a moment, then turned around suspiciously and poked his head out.

I saw two doors that opened outwards, and a paper crane was glued to them.He just came in in a hurry, if he hadn't spotted it from the corner of his eye, he would probably have missed it.

He stepped forward and carefully took off the paper crane, looking at it curiously.

The technique of origami crane seems to be my own?
No, is there anyone in this world who knows this?
Chen Heng suddenly thought of a person, and couldn't help laughing.He probably knew who kept the paper crane.

With a [-]% certainty and a [-]% guess, Chen Heng quickly walked to the small wooden cabinet in the corner of the hall, pushed open the wooden door, and found a piece of paper in the depths of the second floor.

When Chen Heng took it out, it was still the previous one.During the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, this piece of paper, which has been placed for an unknown period of time, has a mildewy smell.

He looked at the paper, and at the end of the poem persuading him to drink last time, there was a line of beautiful small characters.It reads: If the sky does not love wine, the wine star is not in the sky.If the land does not love wine, the land should have no wine springs.Both heaven and earth love wine, and the love of wine is worthy of heaven.

The air was humid, and the ink on the paper was a little blurry. Chen Heng finally recognized it, and then he smiled and said, "This is to invite the exiled immortal to help me out?"

Xu Shi saw that Chen Heng hadn't replied, and after a few blank lines, the words appeared again: Brother, are you angry?

How could I get angry with children, I was just too busy and forgot.Chen Heng shook his head helplessly. His studies are indeed a bit heavy recently.

Continue to look down, the handwriting is brand new, it should have been written for a few days.

"I think my brother has forgotten my sister. If I remember my sister, why don't I come and see it once. Let it go."

Next, there is really no writing.Chen Heng pinched his fingers and counted the days, only to realize that it had been so long since his last message.

Showing a slightly embarrassed expression, Chen Heng took out a new piece of paper, picked up a pen and began to leave a message to reply: Recently, there are too many things in school, and I was so busy that I made my sister wait hard for no reason.Next time there is such a situation again, brother must leave a message in advance to tell you.

You can't just apologize.Chen Heng turned his head and thought about the interesting things that happened recently. It seems that the only thing that the Academy was awarded a plaque.

He wrote this matter down on paper, and added at the end: a new classmate came to his elder brother's room. He admired Chen Qingzhi, a famous Liang Dynasty general, and he liked to wear white clothes and robes the most. He also had a steed called 'Red Light' in his hand.

The whole body of this horse is snow white, except for a big red spot on the neck, which extends to the inside of the neck, and even the mane is red.The brother's classmate said that Chi Guang looked very handsome when he ran.

It's a pity that among the people who gave the plaque that day, the leader was his father.When his father went back, he took Chi Guang away along the way.

If there is a chance to see Chi Guang running in the future, brother will draw it for you.

After finishing writing like this, Chen Heng put down his pen, picked up the letter paper and blew on it.Wait until the ink has dried before putting the paper back in place.

How do I let her know now that I have replied to the letter?Chen Heng tapped his forehead in distress, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.He remembered that there was a small crooked peach tree outside the gate of the Body Jen Hall.Half of the dense branches have grown to the back hall.

He hurried back to the dormitory, took out a piece of waste paper he had written on, and folded it into the shape of a paper crane.He found another thin rope, passed it through the paper crane's back, and led it to the peach tree.

Chen Heng hung the paper crane on the peach branch without much effort.After finishing all this, he took half a step back, seeing the paper crane swaying in the evening wind, he couldn't help feeling a little proud.

Now she could definitely see it.

Chen Heng packed up his things, and continued to go to the Tiren Hall to make a post.

…………

…………

The next day, after class.

Taking advantage of nothing to do, Chen Heng strolled to the Tiren Hall.

The paper crane I hung yesterday is still hanging under the peach tree.To his surprise, on the opposite side of this paper crane, on a branch near the back hall, there is also a paper crane of the same shape.

The two paper cranes are looking at each other, swaying in the wind together, it is interesting to watch.

Chen Heng smiled, turned around and walked to the place where the letters were stored, and took out the letter paper.This time, his younger sister didn't leave many messages, only these wrote: Brother is so unreasonable, he hangs the paper crane under the tree so that people can't even see it.

It's interesting to hear what my brother said, so my younger sister is waiting for my brother's "Horse Picture".

The younger sister was reading a book recently, and suddenly asked a question, and asked her brother for advice.

Now there are one hundred steps for those who do good deeds, and sixty steps for those who do not do good deeds.Those who do not do good deeds go one hundred steps first, and those who do good deeds chase after them, and they can catch up with them in a few steps.

Isn't this the title of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"?Weird, weird, Chen Heng thought to himself, did the master in the back hall also teach this?
In fact, Teacher Xie doesn't teach this, he just finished half of the Book of Songs in class, and started reading some Tang poetry and Song Ci.It's just that Lin Daiyu's collection of books is really rich, and I don't know where to ask her to take out such a copy of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".

She is inherently intelligent, if not, Lin Ruhai would not have thought of finding famous teachers everywhere to teach her.After Lin Daiyu found out this book, she couldn't put it down, but it's a pity that this thing is not like poetry, as long as she is talented, she can get started.

If there is no famous teacher to teach this book, it would be very difficult for me to read it with my own talent alone.

Although he didn't understand the learning progress in the back hall, Chen Heng still picked up a pen to answer on paper, first explained the principles to Sister Lin clearly, and it was his turn to write about the problem-solving process.

Chen Heng hesitated for a moment, but decided to let the other party think for himself first, so that he could firmly remember the process.Then write the answer of 250 steps on the back of the paper,
And a postscript at the front: My sister can compare the answers behind it after she finishes answering.

It took less than half a quarter before Chen Heng stuffed the letter back to its original place.I couldn't help but start worrying again, I was afraid that I would have to take out another piece of paper.

If I want to do this again and again in the future, where can I find so many useless waste papers.Not only was Chen Heng distressed, but it seemed that he had to think of a new way to convey the message when he replied next time.

There is no way, Chen Heng has only this little property on him, and he really can't afford extravagance.

Another day passed, and Chen Heng came to the gymnasium again, and there was a new crane on the peach branch opposite.He turned around and came to the cabinet again. As soon as he reached in, he felt something was wrong. He only felt that he was touching a thick stack of things.

Taking it out for a look, Chen Heng realized that it was a stack of used paper.On top of this stack of paper, there is also a beautiful red tassel.

Chen Heng took the letter paper from it, and this time his unmasked younger sister wrote it like this: I calculated it, and it was 250 steps, which was the same as the answer written by my brother.

These papers are all used by my sister, and there is no place to put them on weekdays.Since the elder brother thought of the method of hanging paper cranes, the elder brother can use these papers. The tassel thread can be pulled off as long as one end is pulled.

If you don't like the dice, when it's used up, my sister will get a new one.

Reading the seemingly plain words on the letter paper, Chen Heng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: My sister has such a delicate mind, and she has considered every aspect for him.

No matter what, let's use paper cranes to send messages first.
