A ray of sunlight in the early morning shone through the window and hit Xiao Yezi, which made him raise his little hand to block the sunlight in dissatisfaction.

After a while, Xiao Yezi put down his little hand, opened his eyes a little worriedly, and said to himself: "Eh, the sun is out, you have to get up." Looking at the side again, there was no figure of Qi Zhiqiu, and he knew that Mr. Qi had already gotten up before him.

Then, Xiao Yezi folded the quilt, a little unsightly but ignored it, put on his shoes again, and when he looked up, he looked at the delicate candy man on the table, his eyes lit up, and he muttered, "I'll come and eat you later." With that, he staggered out of the room.

As soon as Xiao Yezi came out of the room, he smelled a fragrance, he followed the fragrance and walked over, it was from the kitchen in the west of the main courtyard, and when he walked in, he saw that a figure was by the stove, and its fragrance was coming from there.

The figure was Qi Zhiqiu, he was stir-frying, it was a golden egg, and he took the seasoning on the side and sprinkled it, and the fragrance became even stronger.

Xiao Yezi "purred" for a while, and it was visible that small white lines flowed down the corners of his mouth, wiped it with the back of his little hand, and said, "Good morning, Mr. Qi." ”

Qi Zhiqiu didn't look back, and said while stir-frying: "Get up, by the way, there is white porridge on the side of the other stove, you can take it out first, and you can have breakfast later." ”

Xiao Yezi tilted his head and looked at the other stove, a copper-yellow casserole emitted a breath of fresh air from time to time, and he didn't have to guess to know that there was boiled white porridge in the casserole.

I walked over, lifted the lid of the pot and took a look, well, it was the same as usual, it looked delicious, and it did taste delicious.

Xiao Ye put the lid of the pot in place, clenched the two "ears" of the casserole, and walked out of the house, the morning sun did not shine on the open-air table in the west, only the house where they slept, and the rest of the place was also cool.

Xiao Yezi muttered to himself, "Why does this sun rise from the east?"

After a while, Xiao Yezi walked to the stone dining table, put the casserole in the middle of the table, and looked at the little hand, which was a little red.

Xiao Yezi sat down, holding his cheeks with both hands, and looked at the stone table in the center of the main courtyard, where there were nine in total, which was where he and others were taught.

After Qi Zhiqiu scrambled the last egg, he picked up a plate of side dishes and walked out, seeing Ye Yan's appearance, as a gentleman, he could naturally guess the roughly.

Qi Zhiqiu walked to the stone dining table, put down the plate gently, and walked back, it was to get the dishes and chopsticks, the process was silent, and Ye Yan, who was holding his cheeks, didn't notice it.

When Qi Zhiqiu walked out again, he saw Xiao Yezi looking at the two dishes on the table with his eyes blank, Qi Zhiqiu smiled slightly, this smile can make people's hearts move, and it can also make people feel like bathing in the spring breeze.

Qi Zhiqiu walked to the stone dining table, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "I ate so much last night, so fast, I'm hungry again." ”

When Xiao Yezi heard this, he hurriedly raised his head, and when he saw that Mr. had already brought the dishes and chopsticks, but he was a little shy, but he muttered again: "Mr. Qi, I'm still a child, shouldn't children eat more." ”

Qi Zhiqiu didn't answer, he put a bowl of porridge on Ye Yan's seat, and said, "Eat so much, you're not afraid of getting fat." Then he handed over a pair of chopsticks.

"Have I eaten too much? Old and young, don't believe me, sir, you see, my little arms are almost bone. ”

After Xiao Yezi took the chopsticks, he showed a white arm, but it was not as he said, but it was almost the same, it was still a normal child's small arm.

Qi Zhiqiu picked up an egg and put it in Xiao Yezi's bowl, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's eat it, when other children come, when they see you like this, maybe they won't laugh." ”

"Who would laugh at it!" Xiao Yezi muttered, "Let's chirp, chirp", and drank half a bowl of white porridge.

Qi Zhiqiu smiled silently, took a sip of white porridge, and thought about the knowledge to be imparted later.

A ray of sunlight shone on the corner of the stone table, and at this time, the little leaf also let out a long belch.

Qi Zhiqiu put down the dishes and chopsticks, pointed to the nine stone tables in the main courtyard, and said, "Xiao Yezi, you go back to the room, there is a white cloth, go and wipe the stool table, the night has passed, and there is some dew." ”

"Oh. ”

Xiao Yezi patted her somewhat round belly, let out another full burp, and walked back slowly.

Qi Zhiqiu cleaned up the dining table, looked at the sky, observed the starry sky, his eyes were a little deep, and he muttered strangely: "Woe to you." ”

Xiao Yezi walked back to the room after a while, and at the bamboo pole, there was a somewhat white strip of cloth, walked over, and took the strip of cloth down, very soft.

After getting the white cloth, Xiao Yezi thought that he would have to wipe the table later, and he was inexplicably a little distressed.

Distressed and distressed, Xiao Yezi still walked out with a white cloth, came to the first stone table, raised the white cloth, wiped it left and right, looked a little unclean, and wiped it again......

Qi Zhiqiu was in the west room, took out a small blackboard, on which was written: The words good and evil, those were the two words taught yesterday, he erased the words good and evil, thought about it seriously, and finally, wrote down the word "world".

After Xiao Yezi wiped all the nine tables and stools and lay down on a table tiredly, Qi Zhiqiu also used a stick to drag the small blackboard in the air, so that the children who would sit below would see it.

"Tuk Tuk!"

"Mr. Qi!" different immature voices came from outside the door, some noisy, and faintly laughter could be heard.

Qi Zhiqiu walked down and opened the wooden door, there was a group of seven or eight-year-old children, a total of seven, two little girls, five little boys, two little girls were neatly dressed, and their cheeks were still a little red, and two of the five little boys had a different sense of familiarity.

One of the little girls spoke, "Hello Mr. Qi. ”

Another little girl and the five little boys also spoke one after another and said, "Good morning, Mr. Qi." ”

Qi Zhiqiu nodded and smiled: "Okay, good, but there is one less person, hasn't he come yet?"

A little boy was stunned and said, "Mr. Qi, when we came, we knocked on the door of Xiao Liuzi's house, and he said that he had something to do, and he would come over later." ”

"Yes, we were at that time, but we waited for a while to hear Xiao Liuzi's voice, and he told us to come first. A pink little girl, Su Yue'er, said.

"That's right. Qi Zhiqiu moved his body away and let the seven children walk in.

"Hey, Xiao Yezi, where did you go yesterday afternoon, I couldn't find you!" The second stunned man just went in, and when he saw Xiao Yezi lying on the table, he pounced.

"Yikes!"

Xiao Yezi screamed, he refused to answer this question, remembering that yesterday afternoon, he was a little shy, and he couldn't tell them that he had slept all afternoon by the stone lion outside the city, right?

"Erzizi, Yue'er, Yu'er, Erhuzi, Wu Feng, Luo Xing, Jin Lang. Xiao Yezi called the seven people in turn, puzzled, and said, "Where is Xiao Liuzi?"

Erhuzi touched his head and said, "Little Liuzi, he won't be able to come until a while, it seems that there is something." ”

"Oh. Xiao Yezi nodded.

These seven children, in addition to Er Stunned, Er Huzi, Yue'er, Yu'er and Wu Feng by Xiao Yezi's side, Luo Xing and Jin Lang, two people with peers who do not have a sense of familiarity, came to two of the stone tables and sat down after entering the door.

Yu'er said, "It's almost ten years old, have you figured out the name?"

It is said that this is the custom of the older generation in Wencheng, according to them, the fate is determined by the heavens, the name is determined by the ancestors, the word is determined by the heart, ten years old, is a transitional stage, and let the children choose the name freely, in the future, there is a great benefit.

The second stunned man hurriedly spoke: "I have already thought about it, the name of the second stunned person is known to others as soon as they hear it, and I don't want this name to accompany me for the rest of my life." ”

"When I was 10 years old, I wanted to change my name, but I couldn't think of it. Erhuzi scratched the back of his head with a smile.

Su Yue'er opened her mouth and said, "Xiao Yezi, what about you, if I remember correctly, you should be nine years old this year, have you thought of a name?"

"I'm ......" Xiao Yezi was silent, thinking.

"Changing the name? Maybe not, it's just a formality. Qi Zhiqiu walked over and came to this small group.

Xiao Yezi muttered: "Yes, I don't need to change my name, it's troublesome to think about it." ”

Wu Feng, who had been silent on his side, spoke up after seeing Qi Zhiqiu coming, and said, "Sir, what is today's teaching?"

"World!" Qi Zhiqiu pointed to the two words on the small blackboard, and said, "Before Xiao Liuzi comes, you can discuss today's topic, the word 'world'." Then, he beckoned Luo Xing and Jin Lang, two children not far away, to come over and join the discussion.

"The world. Xiao Yezi and the others were silent.

Wu Feng spoke first: "Sir, the world is very big, but the size of this world has not been recorded in ancient books, and I think that the sun, moon and stars are only the part of this world. ”

Qi Zhiqiu nodded and said, "Reasonable, this heaven and earth are unknown, and the stars only revolve around this heaven and earth." ”

Qi Zhiqiu looked at the other children, and Luo Xing said inexplicably: "Sir, can you speak?"

Qi Zhiqiu smiled: "Just say what you want." ”

"Thank you, sir. Luo Xing said: "In this world, I don't know what kind of long years have passed, there are ancient predecessors, in that darkest era, they comprehended the cultivation method of the wild ancient beasts, broke free from their own shackles, and turned mustard seeds into mustard seeds, so that they could stand in the ancient years. ”

Luo Xing paused, cleared his throat, and said, "And in this world, everything has spirits, and all things can be cultivated, and that is the path that our ancestors held up for us. ”

Luo Xing held his head high, and he was extraordinarily high-spirited.

Qi Zhiqiu nodded and said, "Well, indeed, but I remember that this sentence is also in ancient books." ”

When Luo Xing heard this, he was deflated, his face was full of embarrassment, it was indeed a sentence he saw in the ancient book at home.

Xiao Yezi, who was sitting, was trying to resolve what Luo Xing had just said, the Savage Ancient Beasts, the cultivation method, and breaking free from the shackles, etc., which were beyond the scope of his cognition.

Xiao Yezi tugged at Mr. Qi's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Sir, just ......"

Qi Zhiqiu interrupted Xiao Yezi's next words, and whispered in the ear of the latter: "Xiao Yezi, I'll tell you one by one later, now you remember the words of other people first." ”

Xiao Yezi put down his hand and listened to Mr. Qi's words, he didn't think about those wild ancient beasts or anything, he had to remember the words first, and Mr. Qi would give him an answer.

Qi Zhiqiu asked, "Jin Lang, what about you, do you have any views on this world?"

Jin Lang, who was named, smiled indifferently and said: "Although the world is changing, my heart remains the same; ”

Qi Zhiqiu nodded and said, "This is indeed an attitude, your attitude towards this world. ”

At this time, Xiao Yezi suddenly spoke: "This world, since it is so big, there are such wild ancient beasts, then there should be other strange animals, then their meat should be very fragrant, right? ”

"Poof~haha~"

Su Yue'er and the others couldn't help laughing, even Luo Xing and Jin Lang had a slight smile on their faces, but they were very different from others, it was like a joke.

Only Qi Zhiqiu nodded seriously and said, "Xiao Yezi, your idea is good, I support you." ”

However, Qi Zhiqiu's words made Xiao Yezi's thick face appear red.

Qi Zhiqiu made a gesture to make everyone stop laughing, walked to the small blackboard, pointed to the word "world" and said: "This world, as you said, is very big, just our city, there are tens of thousands of miles away, ordinary people walk, it takes years to go from the south of the city to the north of the city, and there is a kind of person, they can cross this distance in one step." ”

Xiao Yezi subconsciously asked, "Impossible, how can there be ...... in this world?"

However, Xiao Yezi seemed to think of something, and suddenly stopped, he remembered the words of Luo Xing and Jin Lang just now.

Xiao Yezi was a little shocked, lowered his forehead, and murmured: "Mr. Qi, so that's the case, you all know, I don't know." In the words, there was some loneliness.

The second stunned, Su Yue'er, Yu'er, and Erhuzi next to him spoke almost at the same time: "Xiao Yezi, it was Mr. Qi who asked us not to tell you, Mr. just doesn't want you to come into contact with these things." ”

Wu Feng also spoke: "Yes, but Mr. is for your good." ”

"Is it for me?" Xiao Yezi looked up at Qi Zhiqiu, her eyes shining with tears and confusion.

Qi Zhiqiu nodded and said, "I didn't let them tell you, I also deliberately hid it from you, I want you to spend this life in peace, but last night I was thinking, I will leave soon, this news can't be hidden from you, it is better to tell you, so that you can be prepared." ”

"Going?" When Xiao Yezi heard this, he forgot that Qi Zhiqiu was hiding something from him, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, where are you going, don't you take me with you?"

Qi Zhiqiu said vaguely: "I am a scholar, and I want to take the exam for the top prize." Among them, Qi Zhiqiu is a scholar, but the truth of the latter words is unknown.

Qi Zhiqiu hesitated for a moment, then spoke: "Do you remember the ancient grandfather at the candy man stall last night? After I leave, he should agree to take you in." ”

Xiao Yezi and the others did not speak, the corners of their eyes were filled with tears, Qi Zhiqiu was like a father and a mother and a teacher for Xiao Yezi, and when he learned that he was going to leave soon, he was very reluctant in his heart.

When they were still little children, they were sent by the elders of the clan, and after five or six years, they also had feelings and were reluctant.

Qi Zhiqiu took a deep breath and smiled: "Okay, okay, I know you're sad, but haven't I left yet, come on, let's look at this topic, okay?"

Xiao Yezi wiped away her tears and said "um".

The second stunned, Luo Xing and the others also cheered up, and looked at the "world" with Qi Zhiqiu.

Qi Zhiqiu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, next, I will talk about some things about the 'world', which are not in your ancient books, and if you remember the words, maybe it will help you in the future." ”

"Okay!" Xiao Yezi and the others said in unison.

Qi Zhiqiu was just about to speak, but there was an urgent knock at the door.
