Just like Lin Shan's words, he dragged the body of the long python and didn't go far. When he walked out of the road for a mile or so, Xing Feng, who was following Lin Shan, saw a dirt pit in front of him that seemed to have been washed out by a flash flood.

In fact, with the geology of the two mountains around Bailong Gorge with many sands and rocks and few trees, as long as it rains heavily, a small flash flood will inevitably occur, and such surface soil pits are very common in the mountains. It's just that this place is the closest to the open land of Longkou in Bailong Gorge, and it doesn't take much time and effort to walk there, and it's still a corner, come here to throw snake corpses, as long as those students don't run around, they should not be frightened again because of the bloodstained snake corpses.

Lin Shan stood at the top of the deep earth pit, casually threw the body of the long python into the pit, and then put down the sleeve tube that had been rolled up for convenience, and said slowly as if talking to himself: "What a good snake, if you wait for your father to encounter it in ten years, its snake skin may become a pair of finger protectors in your hand." ”

There was a hint of regret in Lin Shan's tone, I don't know whether he was lamenting the harmless death of this python, or regretting that its skin did not contribute to the protection of his hands.

And when Lin Shan finished speaking, his eyes looked at Xingfeng. For some reason, Xing Feng felt that the aura on Lin Shan's body that made him feel frightened unconsciously rose again, and the gaze that he had been looking at Lin Shan had been looking at him became flickering when Lin Shan also looked at him at this time.

Suddenly, he heard Lin Shan ask, "Does your father want you to become a scholar in the future?" ”

Xing Feng was silent and nodded in the face of Lin Shan's question about him.

Although Lin Shan's expression was very flat when he asked this question, and there was no obvious meaning in it, Xing Feng still subconsciously had an impulse in his heart, and after nodding silently, he explained after a while: "Sir, Xing Feng knows that his qualifications are very poor, and he is not as good as other senior brothers...... Maybe it's not suitable for me to come to this academy, but I'm here, and no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will continue to study hard here. ”

"Courage is commendable." Lin Shan first praised the determination in Xing Feng's words, and then asked, "Xing Feng, is studying and entering the profession really what you like to do and the goal you strive for?" ”

Faced with this question, Xing Feng did not answer immediately. He fell silent, and his heart sank into hesitation.

In his heart, he asked himself again with Lin Shan's question, but he couldn't get an answer. It was only then that he realized that he had never considered this issue, so how could he choose? Before his father told him to "go to school", he only subconsciously felt that he would also do safari work in the future.

Lin Shan patiently accompanied him to be silent, and it was not until he was silent for a long time that Lin Shan took the initiative to break the silence between the two and spoke again: "Actually, what I want to say to you now is not to ask you if you like to study, because I see that you may not have thought about this issue at all. Therefore, if you are urged to choose now, it is forcing you to answer in a hurry, and it will not count. ”

He paused slightly before continuing: "I asked you to come with me, in fact, I want you to sue me, how did you feel at that time when you saved Song De?" ”

Xing Feng thought for a while and replied, "I am very happy to be able to help Senior Brother Song get out of danger." ”

"Oh?" Lin Shan received Xing Feng's reply, but his face did not show the slightest hint of approval, but his eyes were full of doubts, and he looked at Xing Feng and said slowly: "I'm afraid you don't just think it's as simple as being happy!" ”

Lin Shan's words made Xing Feng faintly chuckle in his heart.

This is not because Lin Shan did not praise him for helping others, but Lin Shan's words provoked a trace of doubt in his heart. Yes, when Song De turned around to thank him just now, a strange feeling appeared in his heart, but he couldn't figure out what that feeling meant.

Facing Lin Shan, Xing Feng carried the confusion in his heart that had been suppressed and now resurfaced, and said respectfully: "The student does have a difference in his heart, but he doesn't know why, please ask Mr. for advice." ”

Lin Shan nodded slightly, and asked: "Xing Feng, if you enter the profession with literature in the future, do you know that a scholar, in addition to having ink in his heart, what is the most indispensable thing?" ”

Xing Feng looked at Lin Shan, and listened quietly.

"It's a 'proud' word." When Lin Shan said this, his voice suddenly became much louder. After a pause in his voice, he continued: "A scholar, he can't lift his hands or carry them on his shoulders, so he relies on a clever tongue to show off his knowledge. If you enter the officialdom, you don't have the arrogance in your heart, your backbone is easy to break, you will become a local moth, and if you are large, you will become a rotten Confucian in the court, and you will just be a piece of rotten meat that will be scraped away from the country, which is useless. ”

When Lin Shan came here, his tone eased, and the words in his eyes that looked at Xing Feng were unusually clear: "Your father would rather work hard all his life than bend his knees, but he sent you to the largest academy in the county, and made it clear that the goal you will pursue in the future will definitely not let you enter the government like this." ”

"Of course not." Xing Feng only felt a stream of hot blood begin to stir in his veins. Although he did not have a detailed plan for the future, he had an idealistic goal that had already taken shape at a very young age - would rather be a puppet than defeat? p>

Yo? p>

It's just that after the blood was restless, Xing Feng's heart was confused again, he looked at Lin Shan and asked, "Sir, the student wants to ask, what is your 'pride'?" ”

"It is a unique temperament in a person, and the characteristics of 'pride' in oneself cannot be explained by others." Lin Shan said solemnly: "But the foundation of pride is self-esteem. ”

At this point, Lin Shan paused slightly, but before Xing Feng could speak, he continued: "Others can look down on you, but if it weren't for your frivolous behavior, you can't look down on yourself; If you are alienated from others, if it is not because you have done a mistake to others, you cannot always blame yourself and feel guilty for what is innocent. Receiving thanksgiving, if you are sincere in your ministering, worthy of your heart, and accepting it calmly is the best way to repay yourself and give back to others. ”

Lin Shan's three sentences at this time, the first two sentences are decent, but the last sentence is purposeful.

Xing Feng finally realized what Lin Shan was referring to, and he had a vague idea of the doubts in his heart before. Just by the time he wanted to ask Mr. for further advice, Lin Shan had already walked down the dirt pit and walked straight to the place where the teachers and students of the academy had gathered.

Looking at Lin Shan's back, Xing Feng's face showed a thoughtful expression. He didn't call out to Lin Shan again, but just silently followed behind Lin Shan and walked towards the open land in front of the White Dragon Valley.

When Lin Shan was still some distance away from everyone, Mo Ye had already quickly approached Lin Shan, and asked with a smile and in a low voice, "Master, what did you do to Xing Feng?" ”

Lin Shan smiled and said, "If you want to know, just ask him directly!" In short, Master will not break his promise to you, and he will never embarrass him. ”

Mo Ye stuck out his tongue lightly, turned around and ran towards Xing Feng, and asked him in a low voice.

Xing Feng replied a little dumbfounded: "It's nothing."

Mo Ye pursed his lips boredly, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's really like a piece of wood." ”

Xing Feng just smiled embarrassedly when he heard this. He didn't want to hide too much from Mo Ye, but what Lin Shan said to him just now really didn't have any substance.

Mo Ye walked parallel to him, approaching the 'dragon's mouth' of the White Dragon Valley, looking at his slightly uncomfortable appearance, he suddenly patted his shoulder generously like a boy, and said loudly: "Senior Brother Xing, no matter what, don't feel depressed. In the academy, you are not alone, and I am at the same table! ”

Xing Feng was stunned, and it took a long time for Mo Ye to say something that made Mo Ye almost choke.

"I don't seem to be at the same table as you."

There is nothing wrong with the words of the torture wind. The college has completed preparations for the start of the school year, so the seats for the new students of the kindergarten have been lined up. With the configuration of the two of them at the same table, Mo Ye and Xing Feng are indeed not at the same table.

But how Mo Ye didn't know about this, her same table, of course, was not as simple as sitting on the same bench and leaning on the same desk.

Mo Ye, who secretly sighed that Xing Feng really had no talent in writing and poetry, glared at Xing Feng quickly, and then said aloud: "Although we are at different tables, we are studying in the same classroom, listening to the teachings of the same master, and learning the same homework, even if we are missing the binding of a three-foot seat, can't we be considered at the same table?" ”

When she came here, her tone was raised, and she said loudly: "Students all over the world, learning together, are all at the same seat as the boat of the sea, and they should help each other and advance and retreat together." ”

Mo Ye had prepared a passage for a long time, and suddenly came out at this time, which was also intentional. She deliberately raised her voice so that the other brothers and sisters could hear it. Whether they agree with this sentence or not, as long as they hear it, it will be like a seed planted in their brains and hearts, and it may sprout and spread at any time.

The literati have many sages and multiple rituals, even if they are hypocritical virtues, at least before the public, they always have to behave. Before the academy officially opened, Xing Feng was already suffering from a lot of cold treatment and prejudice in Shaoxue, Mo Ye didn't want the students' indifference to Xing Feng to be infected with his return to kindergarten, and let the students in kindergarten also be infected.

In Shaoxue, he is facing senior brothers, and he can't do anything with Mo Ye's strength. But in kindergarten, everyone is the same generation, and we can't let the criminal wind stay like this anymore. Even if you can't change everyone's prejudice against the style of punishment, it is a little bit to do your best to correct it.

Mo Ye's words of secretly working hard for a certain purpose have finally achieved some results. Some of the students gathered together glanced at Mo Ye's side, and some students approached and muttered a few words, I don't know if they didn't hear Mo Ye's words at all and were chatting about private matters, or discussing the words that Mo Ye had just shouted.

In short, Mo Ye ignored the reactions of the other students, as if that passage was just what she wanted to do to Xingfeng, she just stared at Xingfeng, and her gaze did not shift a point.

Senior Brother Wood finally got a clue, but he didn't know how to express his gratitude for this, so he just nodded heavily to Mo Ye.
