Mwah,
"Yes,
You're the one I'm calling! "
"So you're a pig."
Hearing the conversation between the two..,
All the children in the classroom burst into laughter. The little brat was so angry that he pushed the desk opposite him away,
He wanted to hit the skinnier boy,
The boy nimbly shrank under the desk and slid out from under the desk like a loach,
He was very agile and easily slipped the "school bully" group of four around. Unfortunately, the classroom was not big,
The group of four slowly surrounded the boy.
Seeing that the boy who helped her out was in trouble,
Li Yue had an idea,
She imitated the other party's previous actions,
She also shouted, "Sir is here." However, the effect was not very good. It only made the "school bully" group of four slightly hesitate in their actions.
The hesitation of the group of four was enough for the boy to escape the encirclement,
The boy looked out of the window and winked at Li Yue,
He changed from his previous jumpiness,
He sat in his seat obediently.
The boy stopped running,
The "school bully" was smug,
He was wearing clothes stained with ink.
He walked proudly in front of the boy and slapped the table:
"You run,
Why aren't you running?
Today, we will definitely make you suffer! "
"Who are you making to suffer?"
"What does it have to do with you,
Don't interrupt - Sir. "
The arrogant "school bully" group of four turned their heads in unison and became as listless as quails in minutes. The old teacher behind the group of four was so angry that he almost blew his beard and glared. As a cultured adult, he could not flare up in class. He only ordered the group of four to return to their seats, and he continued to teach the class that he had not finished in the morning.
When the afternoon class ended, except for the "school bully" group of four, all the children went home as usual.
Li Yue, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out. She could still see the group of four frowning as they were reprimanded by the old man. Li Yue felt inexplicably happy, and even her footsteps on the way home were much lighter.
Uncle Fu saw the change in Li Yue's mood. He smiled and touched Li Yue's head. He asked her if she had made new friends in school, or if she had realized that school was actually a very interesting thing.
Li Yue did not answer directly. She felt that Uncle Fu's words had a double meaning.
School was actually quite boring, but bullying children, ah no, getting to know children in school was very interesting.
After finding the joy of school, Li Yue went to school again the next day. Naturally, she was not as listless as she was a few days ago. She was even in a good mood to greet the other children in the school and gained a group of fans.
She did not know how the old teacher taught the "school bully" group of four a lesson yesterday. Today, the group of four was unbelievably well-behaved. After that, they did not find trouble with Li Yue and the other two boys for a few days.
Li Yue suspected that the group of four was secretly planning something. Sure enough, the day before the school day, the group of four issued a "letter of challenge" to Li Yue. The words on the "letter of challenge" were crooked. The general idea was that if Li Yue was a real man, she would go to a small alley near the school and have a showdown with them tomorrow.
Li Yue, who had the body of a child and the heart of an adult, did not want to respond to the "letter of challenge" from the group of four. However, she thought that if she stayed at home, Tanhua Lang would give her extra homework to practice calligraphy.
Comparing the two, bullying children was more fun. Li Yue decisively chose to go out on the school day.
The reason for going out obviously could not be said openly. Li Yue could only use the excuse of "a new friend asked me out to play". When Uncle Fu heard that the place they were going to play was near the school, he laughed and waved his hand to let them go.
Because Li Yue and Li Xunhuan were the same, they did not like to have too many people around them. Uncle Fu followed the usual practice and let the driver follow behind her. Li Yue naturally did not refuse.
The group of four should be the natives of Shuo Zhou City. She planned to first teach them a lesson and then let them be her tour guide to take her around the city.
Dreams were plentiful, but reality was bony.
When Li Yue just entered the alley, the driver behind her was hit by a stick and fainted. Then someone covered her mouth. A pungent smell rushed into her head. Li Yue's body swayed and she directly lost consciousness.
The wretched looking adult laughed strangely. He put the little girl in his hand into a sack and quickly rushed into a shabby carriage with his accomplice.
Their movements were quite skillful and could be said to be stealthy and fast. However, all of this happened to be seen by the two boys, one fat and one thin. When the carriage left the alley, the two boys also ran in the direction of the school.
Li Yue was once again awakened by the jolting of the carriage. Her hands and feet were all tied up, and her vision was also dim. She could only see a glimmer of light outside through the gaps of the burlap sack. She vaguely felt as if someone was reaching for her, so Li Yue quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Not long after, the conversation of the two men sounded in the carriage:
"Tsk tsk, Lao Wu, this time you came back from Shuo Zhou City. How come you only kidnapped a child?"
"Hey, you know nothing. Look at this appearance, you can definitely sell it for a good price. This child is precious. It is much more worth than kidnapping ten losers who can't be sold."
"Let me see. Oh, this can't be the young master of a big family in Shuo Zhou City. Lao Wu, we only want money in this business. You can't give us trouble."
"Do you think I am stupid? I have already inquired. This child's family is running a business. A few days ago, they bought a house in Shuo Zhou City. His father is drunk in the pub every day. The business is completely taken care of by an old man.
Usually, the one who comes to send the child to school is a man who does chores. This family certainly doesn't value the child.
If the child is missing, the family may not find out for more than half a month. "
"You have a lot of crooked ideas. What if -"
"What if? Lao Si, wealth comes from danger.
Even if this kid's family found out, so what? How many people can a newcomer know in Shuo Zhou City? By the time they find us, we will have already taken the money and left. After a few years, everything will be peaceful, and we will have forgotten everything. When we return to Shuo Zhou City, we will be good men again. "
As the two men talked, they laughed unscrupulously. Li Yue closed her eyes and listened to them talk about their future carefree life. She cursed in her heart. She knew that she had encountered human traffickers again, but she did not panic at all. After all, the "alcoholic father" that the two traffickers were talking about was Li Xunhuan. What she needed to do now was to protect herself and live a good life.
Li Yue had just been taken out of Shuo Zhou City by the traffickers. On the other side, the old teacher heard the news from the two boys. He quickly sent people to send the seriously injured and unconscious driver to the clinic. He also personally went to the Li family to report the news.
When Uncle Fu heard the news, he was also very anxious. On one hand, he ordered the merchants to secretly investigate the news. On the other hand, he ordered the servants to send Li Xunhuan home.
Li Xunhuan, whom Li Yue had placed high hopes on, was already drunk. He mechanically poured himself one jar of wine after another, murmuring a certain person's name.
Tanhua Lang, who was drunk and wearing luxurious clothes, was a big fat sheep in the eyes of some people with evil intentions. However, they didn't have the courage to make a move, because the fat sheep was guarded by a loyal and devoted dog. The dog was ready to tear the enemy to shreds at any time.
The atmosphere in the tavern was very strange. There was an obvious vacuum between Li Xunhuan's table and the other guests. Therefore, the servant sent by Uncle Fu found the target without much effort. He hurriedly explained the situation to Tie Chuanjia.
After the Bearded Man finished listening to the servant, he quietly took the wine jar in Li Xunhuan's hand. He helped Tanhua Lang, who couldn't tell the time, into the carriage at the entrance of the tavern.
The hangover soup had already been prepared in the courtyard. As soon as Tie Chuanjia carried Li Xunhuan out of the carriage, a servant came over with a bowl of hot soup.
Tie Chuanjia carefully fed the soup into Li Xunhuan's mouth. After a long while, Li Xunhuan pinched his eyebrows and barely recovered his ability to think. Tie Chuanjia then slowly told him about Li Yue being kidnapped.
Although Li Xunhuan was still drunk, his eyes were very clear. He chatted with the old teacher who had been waiting for a long time, then carefully asked Uncle Fu why Li Yue went out. He decided to first find the four people of the school tyrants.
In the wasteland outside of Shuo Zhou City, the carriage carrying Li Yue stopped in front of a dilapidated temple. The man called "Lao Wu" grabbed the sack carrying Li Yue and jumped down. The carriage immediately drove away. He exchanged a secret signal with the beggars guarding the dilapidated temple. The beggars pushed away the statue of God, revealing a dark passage. The man carried the sack in one hand and a torch in the other, humming a little song as he walked in.
The passage was deep and winding. The man's footsteps clearly echoed in Li Yue's ears. Li Yue secretly counted in her heart. After counting about two thousand steps, the man finally stopped.
Li Yue couldn't see the world outside the sack, so she could only guess the man's actions based on the sound. With a creak, the man pushed open a heavy wooden door. Various voices sounded one after another, mixed with the cries of children and the curses of women.
Someone came forward to talk to the man. The man said a few perfunctory words and firmly held the sack. He stepped over one threshold after another, untied the sack, and pushed Li Yue into the cellar.
In Li Xunhuan's world, there were usually only two kinds of living beings. One was enemies, and the other was friends. The former were 100% despicable people, and the latter generally included former friends, current friends, and people who would develop into friends in the future.
Tanhua Lang had always been vicious and cold to his enemies. He would never be stingy and "gift" the enemy with a throwing knife. But for his friends, Tanhua Lang had always adhered to the principle of infinite tolerance. It could even be said that he basically had no bottom line.
After being together for at least half a year, Li Yue understood that she was definitely not an enemy of Li Xunhuan. But looking at the row of different models of writing brushes on the table, as well as the stack of rice paper that was taller than her, and Tie Chuanjia who supervised her practice like an old mother and helped her grind ink, she suddenly began to doubt her position in Li Xunhuan's heart.
Tanhua Lang definitely did not treat her as a friend!
Perhaps because he was worried about checking Li Yue's homework, Li Xunhuan was not as drunk as before. But he did not drink less either.
When Li Yue finished practicing for four hours and handed in her homework to Li Tanhua, Li Xunhuan, who was originally a little drunk, saw Li Yue's incomplete dog-like traditional characters. His drunkenness instantly disappeared. His gaze moved back and forth between Li Yue's beautiful face and the distorted and ugly characters on the rice paper. After a long while, he asked a few questions with difficulty:
"Xiao Yue... Have you... been to a primary school before?
Has anyone... taught you? "
A primary school was almost equivalent to a kindergarten or primary school in modern society. Asking a child if they had been taught was equivalent to asking the child if they could read and write.
Li Yue had worked hard in society for many years after graduating from her bachelor's degree. She could answer Li Xunhuan's question with confidence. But before she could say anything, fragments of memories about the original owner of this body appeared in her mind little by little.
In a low and tidy old house, a couple with blurry faces were smiling and talking to a child in their arms. The wife was humming a lullaby while the husband held the child's hand and taught him how to read stroke by stroke. The family of three lived a very poor life, but they were happy and harmonious.
These images flashed back and forth like a merry-go-round, but the last image that appeared was of the couple with a pale complexion. Their eyes were full of reluctance and their quietly drooping arms.
Li Yue stood in the same place in a daze. Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes. Before she could raise her hand to wipe her tears, Li Xunhuan had already taken the little girl into his arms and gently stroked her head:
"Sorry, it's my fault."
"No... It's not your fault. It's my... problem..."
Li Yue sobbed and tried to explain to Li Xunhuan, but a child's self-control was really poor. She tried hard to hold back her tears, but when Li Xunhuan hugged and patted her, the original owner of this body and her own negative emotions gushed out like a flood. Li Yue had to grab Li Xunhuan's clothes and burst into tears.
Tanhua Lang's body always had the fragrance of plum blossoms. It usually smelled cold and quiet, but now mixed with the smell of aged wine, it was especially intoxicating.
Li Yue's physical strength as a child was originally weak. After crying for a while, she fell asleep while inhaling the smell.
Li Xunhuan, whose internal strength was far superior to that of ordinary people, naturally noticed that the little girl's breathing had calmed down. However, he was not only a martial arts master, but also a person with a level ten disability in life. Holding the sleeping Li Yue in his arms, he was stunned and didn't know what to do. On the other hand, the gold medal nanny Tie Chuanjia couldn't bear to watch and took the little girl back to the room.
Li Xunhuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Tie Chuanjia had just left the study when Uncle Fu pushed the door open and entered. He looked at the adult and child in the distance, and a slight smile appeared on his weather-beaten face. Then he turned to Li Xunhuan and asked softly:
"Young master, allow this old man to take the liberty to ask … what exactly are you planning to do?"
Li Xunhuan was a smart person. He naturally heard the unfinished meaning in Uncle Fu's words. Half a year ago, when he had just arrived at the courtyard, he didn't care about anything. Everything, no matter how big or small, was thrown to Tie Chuanjia and Uncle Fu. Every day, he only cared about his life in a drunken stupor. It seemed as if as long as there was wine, he could isolate himself from the world.
If he wanted to muddle along, that was Li Xunhuan's own business. Uncle Fu also had no right to interfere. However, Li Xunhuan had never revealed what Li Yue's identity was.
Since the child arrived at the courtyard, she had been in an awkward situation. She had come together with Li Xunhuan and had been living in the servant's room. She was treated like a guest, and the servants in the courtyard didn't know how to address her.
Fortunately, the child was not like other children. Every day, she enjoyed herself and never complained about how she was treated.
Uncle Fu had seen all these trivial matters. He knew that Li Yue was a good child. It just so happened that Li Xunhuan's mood was not so bad and his mind was also clear. He couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
Li Xunhuan muttered to himself for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I … am really a terrible person. Naturally, I shouldn't implicate others.
As for Xiao Yue, although she is young, she has her own way of doing things … Whatever she wants to do, she can do it. "
As soon as Li Xunhuan finished speaking, Uncle Fu immediately followed his advice. "Young master, regarding Little Miss's learning, do you plan to personally teach Little Miss how to read, or do you plan to invite a teacher to teach Little Miss in the courtyard? Or do you plan to have someone find a school for Little Miss in Shuo Province?"
"School?"
"Young master, the outside of the Great Wall is not like the Central Plains. Since ancient times, people have been valiant.
Little Miss is at the age where she likes to play. Because you like peace and quiet, there are not many people in the courtyard. Naturally, we can't find someone similar to Little Miss's age. Therefore, Little Miss is usually alone and no one wants to play with her. "
"That's good … Let Xiao Yue go to school in Shuo Province."
At that time, Li Yue did not know that she was going to the city to learn. When she woke up, she would bitterly practice writing as usual. After four hours, she would immediately throw down her brush and quit.
A week later, a carriage was brought in front of her. When the little girl first got on the carriage, her face was full of excitement. She thought that the people in the courtyard would take her to Shuo Province to play, but the reality was not as she imagined.
The carriage really did stop in Shuo Province. Uncle Fu brought the little girl dressed as a boy to the entrance of a small courtyard.
Before they entered the courtyard, Li Yue had an ominous premonition in her heart. When they really crossed the steps, Li Yue saw a group of little people sitting in the classroom shaking their heads. Among them, there were a few who looked younger than her.
Li Yue looked at Uncle Fu in disbelief. Uncle Fu's face had a kind smile that she was very familiar with. Li Yue thought of the group of old men and old women with their granddaughters and grandchildren that she met during rush hour. She silently prepared to step back, but Uncle Fu firmly held her hand. Li Yue looked at the gate again. The big brother who drove the carriage blocked the gate with a simple and honest face.
At this moment, Li Yue knew that she was definitely going to this ancient kindergarten.
In order to make it convenient for Li Yue to go to school, Uncle Fu specially bought a large courtyard near the inner school of Shuo Province. He also hired a dozen servants and guards. The cost was not small.
At first, Li Yue was curious as to why Li Xunhuan would agree with Uncle Fu. But a few days later, she saw Tie Chuanjia help the drunk Li Xunhuan into the courtyard. Tanhua Lang's valuable jade pendant was still missing. When Tie Chuanjia went out again to find the jade pendant, Li Yue learned that Tanhua Lang had pawned the jade pendant in a restaurant.
Li Yue: I'm so angry. I also want to be a rich person who doesn't have any concept of spending money.
(Young) School (Kindergarten) was more boring than Li Yue imagined. Aside from studying, it was also practicing calligraphy. The teachers were even less likely to play games with the children like the modern day teachers. Therefore, during the break between classes, Li Yue would usually lie on the table and sleep.
Li Yue didn't pay much attention to the little ones in her class, but the little ones in her class were very curious about her.
In terms of appearance, no one in the school was more outstanding than Li Yue. In terms of studying, although she came late, her learning speed was the fastest in the school. In terms of practicing calligraphy, her handwriting was also the worst in the school. Therefore, among the children, Li Yue was a very cold and aloof person.
In the school, there were excellent students, but of course, there were also bad students. There were cold and aloof people, but there were also mischievous and naughty children who thought they were the school boss.
The combination of these two attributes would naturally lead to conflict. Therefore, a few days later, Li Yue encountered her first (one-sided) school "bullying" incident after she transmigrated.
That day, it was the school teacher's lunch break. The children in the school were very noisy. Li Yue was lying on the table with her eyes closed as usual. Suddenly, someone slammed her table.
Li Yue, who was shocked, slowly raised her head and glanced at the initiator. Then, she calmly lowered her head and continued to sleep.
The child who slammed the table obviously felt embarrassed. He shook Li Yue's table heavily again. The latter yawned and forced herself to sit up straight. She stared at the child without moving. In fact, her eyes were not focused at all.
The other party did not say anything. The child's face turned red from being stared at. He had no choice but to find a way out. He put his hands on his hips, cleared his throat, and spoke to Li Yue aggressively.
"Where did you come from? Why didn't you come here?"
Li Yue was speechless.
"I don't want you to give me anything valuable. You just need to give me three pieces of caramel candy every day. You also need to call me boss. Do you hear me, newcomer?"
Li Yue was speechless.
The little girl's gaze swept past the leading brat. Her gaze lingered on the three little followers behind him for a while. Then, she looked away. "Are you very good?"
"Of course!"
"But seeing is believing. You have to prove it, right?"
"How do I prove it?"
"How about this? You put your inkstone on the beam at the front. The ink in the inkstone cannot be spilled. If you can do it, then you are good."
"Hmph, what's so difficult about that?"
The little wimp and his little sidekicks whispered to each other for a long time. Together, they brought over a ladder from somewhere. He climbed up to the beam and placed the inkstone there. Just as he was about to show it off to Li Yue, someone shouted, "Mister is here." The little wimp's hand trembled and the inkstone was stuck on his body. With ink all over his body, he rolled down the ladder.
