Chapter 111: Talent Selection
Finally calmed down, stretched out his hands and gently held the little girl's thin shoulders, and said in the most gentle tone possible: "You are the best." What's your name? ā
"I... My name is Little Grass."
"Oh, that's a good name, the grass is the strongest. What about your family? ā
Xiaocao shook her head and said, "I have a mother, but once my mother said to find me something to eat, and she never came back." She doesn't want me anymore. ā
Li Dawei said: "How is it possible, children are the treasures in their mothers' hearts." Your mother should be in the sky, and when you look up at the sky at night, the brightest star is your mother, and she is watching you all the time. ā
"Oh, I like to look at the stars too, so my mom is there."
"Are you willing to follow me, I will be your 'big viagra' in the future, and I won't let Xiaocao starve."
"Well, thank you Big Viagra!"
"Okay, hahaha" Li Dawei laughed heartily, handed a large piece of meat to 'Xiaocao', and said, "Xiaocao, you should stay with the dog baby first." ā
'Xiaocao' hesitated for a moment and said, "This piece of meat is too big for me to eat, can I give the meat to other friends!" ā
"Absolutely!"
'Xiaocao' took the meat, left a small lock for himself, and handed the rest to the little boy in the lead, and said, "Brother Da Niu, here you go!" You're a lot bigger."
Da Niu was surprised, hesitated for a moment but took it, then hid it in his arms, turned around and said to the other children, "Save it for the evening, and we'll eat it together." ā
The other kids nodded as they should, as they usually do.
'Big Niu' struggled for a while, came to Li Dawei and said, "Can you go without 'Xiaocao' and 'slugs'?"
Li Dawei wondered: "Why? ā
"I... I'm afraid they'll be bullied, and I can protect them. ā
"You? Do you have any skills? ā
"I have a lot of strength."
Li Dawei smiled: "You have a lot of strength? Can it be as big as me? ā
'Da Niu' said unconvinced: "I'm still young now, and when I grow up, I'll have as much strength as you." ā
"Really?" Li Dawei said with a smile: "They can eat enough with me, and they can also read and learn knowledge, but they don't have any of these with you." ā
"I'll find a way to find something to eat, besides, what's the use of reading!"
"Reading is very useful, I just need to teach Xiaocao some knowledge, and her strength can be greater than yours."
"Impossible!" 'Big Bull' said loudly: "I don't believe it"
A stubborn child. Li Dawei smiled: "That's easy, let's verify it." ā
At this time, everyone's curiosity rose. Li Dawei's knowledge, Xiaocao, and the talent of the dog baby amazed everyone. Now I want to see how Li Dawei does it.
Li Dawei picked up the stone pier he made, found a vacant space and put it down, and patted it: "Say, Da Niu, can you move this stone pier?" ā
The 'big cow' spat in the palm of his hand, rubbed it, and came to the stone pier, exerting his strength to feed, and his face was red, but the stone pier did not move at all. After trying a few more times, he sat down on the ground and said, "I can't move, but the strength of 'Xiaocao' is smaller than mine, and I can't move even more." ā
Li Dawei smiled: "That was before, now you don't need a stick of incense, you can become stronger than you!" ā
"I don't believe it!"
Li Dawei called 'Xiaocao' aside, gave her a few brief words, and then demonstrated. Then he found a thick wooden stick and took it to the side of the stone pier for her.
The place where the stone pier is placed is specially chosen by Li Dawei, and there is a natural raised stone next to it.
'Xiaocao' simply dug a concave pit at the edge of the stone pier, using the stone as a fulcrum, and tucked one end of the wooden stick under the stone pier.
Everything is ready, 'Xiaocao' is worried about his toes, climbs a little higher, and drags down, in everyone's surprised eyes, more than 100 catties of stone piers were easily overturned by the weight of 'Xiaocao' dozens of catties.
'Big Bull' was dumbfounded, and rubbed his eyes, it was true. I walked over and hugged the stone, but I still couldn't hold it.
Li Dawei smiled at the 'big cow': "See, I just taught 'Xiaocao' for a while, and now you still say that reading is useless?" ā
"I... Iā" The big cow sat down on the ground in a dejected manner.
'Mr. Tang' stroked his beard and praised: "Convince people with reason, teach them well, admire!" ā
Li Dawei hugged his fists and said, "I'm smiling!" Then he said: "Children, now you can think about any special ability, as long as you are better than others, you can follow me." I can make sure you don't go hungry, teach you to read, and grow up to be able to support yourself on your own. ā
After speaking, he hugged the stone pier and put it back to the table. Then he fetched some water from the well next to him, and carefully washed the faces of Xiaocao' and 'Dog Baby'.
After a while, he nodded with satisfaction, at least he could see what it looked like.
