Zhang Xiaobao naturally didn't know that his father was also thinking about him. He, Wang Juan, and Li Xun went to the tent where the child was crying and said, "Can we take a look?"
The sudden voice made the child stop crying. After a few breaths, the crying sounded again, louder than before.
The farmer inside didn't know who was talking outside, but he knew that there were people patrolling outside, so it couldn't be bad people. He opened the tent and looked up, then immediately greeted, "So it's the young master and young lady. You came so late, come in and rest."
After all, Zhang Xiaobao's identity was different, so the farmers were very respectful when they saw him. The three of them entered the tent one after another. Zhang Xiaobao sniffed and found that there was no unpleasant smell. There was a brazier lit with smokeless charcoal, so it wasn't cold either.
The child was placed on a thick cushion. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan both remembered that the child was only nine months old, and he was crying with his mouth open. The man at home had a helpless expression.
"Come, Xiao Bao baby, let me hold you. Tell me, why are you crying?" Wang Juan went over first and stretched out two hands, preparing to put one hand on the child's back and the other hand on the child's leg.
Zhang Xiaobao quickly pulled Wang Juan away, "You can't hold a child like this. The child's waist is soft, and this will make him cry even more. Watch me."
As he spoke, Zhang Xiaobao half knelt on the ground. His right hand passed under the child's arm and placed under the child's armpit. His left hand arched and supported the child's buttocks. He placed the child on his lap and said to Li Xun, "Go outside and get a lantern."
Li Xun didn't know what Zhang Xiaobao was going to do, so he turned and went out. He called a patrolling person and asked for a lantern, then returned to the tent.
"Hold it above the child's head. Cuckoo, come over and sit with me. Tilt your body slightly outward. We'll block his back together and use our bodies to block the places he can see from the corner of his eyes."
Zhang Xiaobao said to Li Xun, then arranged for Cuckoo. Wang Juan curiously followed Zhang Xiaobao's instructions.
"You two sit next to me and Cuckoo, not on both sides, but in front. Make space for one person on both sides of the child. You two block there, but don't worry about the front of the child's eyes."
Zhang Xiaobao continued to instruct the couple. The two of them sat in the wrong place at first, but they quickly corrected themselves. If it were anyone else doing this, they would have been angry. But when the young master of the main family carried their son, they felt happy instead.
After the arrangements were made, the crying child suddenly stopped crying. Her mouth was slightly open, and she allowed her saliva to flow out. Blinking her big eyes, she looked in front of her, then turned her head to look around. She giggled and placed her two small hands on one of Zhang Xiaobao's arms and the other on his chest.
"Xiao Bao, why did he stop crying? I thought he was crying because he peed or pooped, or because he was hungry. What's wrong with you? "Wang Juan felt that this was too strange, so she asked Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao put his head next to the child's head, gently nudged it, and kissed the child. The child laughed even louder and tilted his head to nudge Zhang Xiaobao. Zhang Xiaobao moved closer and nudged him. The child laughed and tilted his head to Wang Juan again.
This time, Zhang Xiaobao explained, "In fact, it's very simple. Just like in our Zhuangzi, there are people on night watch and patrol. Everyone knows that there are people around to protect them, so they can sleep soundly. It's the same principle to arrange people to patrol here.
Adults know that they will think of ways to hint to themselves, but children don't. As long as they find that their living environment has changed and the temperature has changed, they will feel uncomfortable, or more accurately, fear. Especially when there are no more people around them and no bright lights, they will cry to seek what they want.
The position we are in is just enough to block the child's left, right, and back. He knows that there are people around, but he doesn't need to be in front. If we narrow his field of vision, he will feel that he can deal with the threat from the front. This is an instinct.
If there are only one person in the house, then we have to put a thick cushion in the corner and let the child's back lean against the cushion. Then we have to pull up two pieces of cloth or curtains that can block the child's view. The child can see the front and lean against the back. With the light on, he won't cry unless he is hungry or needs to pee. "
After Zhang Xiaobao finished mouthing these words to Wang Juan, he kissed the child, and the child also laughed.
Wang Juan had never heard of such a thing. After thinking for a while, she said, "Then why do children stop crying when they are breastfed?"
"The reason why children stop crying is not because they are hungry and can drink milk, but because of the mother's body temperature and the mother's embrace. Many children don't drink milk at that time. They just want a kind of warmth and a feeling of being protected. If the child is not too afraid of emptiness, as long as he is in the arms and kisses, he will feel that he is not lonely, and the child will stop crying.
But sometimes just hugging is not enough. We have to create a big atmosphere, just like now. Li Xun is standing there. We may not be able to see it, but the child can feel it. It is very magical. When people grow up, they will hide this instinct or deliberately change it. "
Zhang Xiaobao was very experienced in this aspect. After he became "famous", he specially studied it, just to make the children in the orphanage better.
Wang Juan heard Zhang Xiaobao say so mysteriously. She shivered and said, "That is to say, the adults are not like this? But why do the adults feel empty? "
"That shows that the sixth sense is inherited from the genes. The oldest primitive people will not deliberately change this feeling, so they have a unique perception of danger. We have to cultivate this feeling again after we grow up. Isn't it a bit sad?
Why are the children willing to play in the passage we make with straw? Why do adults like to decorate their own homes? This is because they can't eliminate the information from the genes. They want to protect themselves and hide themselves. Think about it carefully. We always hope that there is a high wall behind us in an empty place.
If you still don't understand, look at animals. For example, when a dog is raised in a house, as long as the temperature drops and there are fewer people in the house, it will run to the corner of the wall and stay there, so that the surrounding scene can be seen in its own vision. "
When Zhang Xiaobao was talking, he had been using his left hand to cover the baby's navel. He mouthed a few words to Wang Juan. The baby closed his eyes and fell asleep, one hand on Zhang Xiaobao's left hand, the other hand clenched into a small fist.
Wang Juan looked at the baby, and then looked at Zhang Xiaobao. She felt very strange. It was so simple, but the baby stopped crying. It turned out that loneliness and not being able to control were the most difficult things to bear.
The parents of the two children saw that the children were asleep, so they were relieved. When they heard the children cry but couldn't do anything, they were worried.
"Little Young Master is amazing. The master is the master, and we farmers can't compare to him." The child's father looked at his son who was sleeping soundly and praised him.
Zhang Xiaobao carefully handed the child to the child's mother and said, "Sleep with the child tonight."
Zhang Xiaobao was a little tired. When he held the child just now, his whole body was relaxed. That way, the child would be comfortable. He was still young. When he held the child, he started from the age of five.
Under the grateful eyes of the couple, the three people walked out of the tent. Li Xun was still holding the lantern in his hand. He shook it and said to Zhang Xiaobao, "You are amazing. The child stopped crying when he was in your hands. What kind of ability is this? I will learn in the future. "
"This is everyone's credit. When you have a child and cry, come to me. I will teach you." Zhang Xiaobao felt that he could come up with a teaching material on baby care. Otherwise, if the villagers saw that he and Wang Juan were easy to follow, how could they learn?
He and Wang Juan could feel what was happening to their bodies. They could adjust and exercise reasonably. Other children couldn't. What did they know? The reason for the high mortality rate of children here was that they didn't take good care of themselves. There was no systematic discipline. Even if the children didn't know how to speak, their every move was actually to express their thoughts.
Wang Juan walked next to them and thought about what had just happened. She said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Do you have something to do? Otherwise, why did you tell me so much? I don't understand. "
"It's nothing. It's just nonsense. Don't take it to heart," Zhang Xiaobao replied very naturally.
"It's nothing? People like you have to be watched carefully. If others say it's nothing, I will believe them. You, hurry up and tell me, what are you going to do? "Wang Juan certainly didn't believe Zhang Xiaobao's deliberately relaxed appearance.
"You will know in the future. It's the same as turning Sanshui County into Shang County. It's directly related to the development of civilization," Zhang Xiaobao only revealed this sentence.
Wang Juan lowered her head and began to ponder. No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't think of a reason.
Li Xun stood at the side and did not say a word. She recalled what she had just seen. That child could not even be coaxed by her own parents. Zhang Xiaobao had arranged for her and she immediately laughed. It was too strange. Could it be that the expert even taught her this?
After thinking for a while, Li Xun thought about the matter of the dock and asked Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, "Xiao Bao, the dock over there will start construction tomorrow. Don't you want to go with me to take a look?"
"No, it's too far. It's in the provincial capital. It will take at least half a month from here to there, right?" Zhang Xiaobao estimated the distance. His father went there to take the provincial capital examination. It took half a month to walk there.
