Everyone laughed, and Ye Xiaoxi couldn't help laughing, but he didn't see the lonely look in Li Luo's eyes beside him.

Huang Shun glanced at the middle-aged man and said cautiously: "Big boss, how to count this year?" Or is it the same as in previous years, with separate herbs, clothing, food, and wine and salt? It is estimated that there are still tens of thousands of taels of silver left, and they will be distributed to the surrounding people? ”

Ye Shiyao was about to speak, Shi Zhao suddenly coughed, Ye Shiyao came to his senses, glanced at Li Luo, and said in unison: "I'll talk about this later, there is one more thing, everyone, this is Li Gongzi, the gentleman we invited from the mountain, to teach the children in the village to read and write." ”

As soon as the words fell, the few people who had gone down the mountain earlier were better, and a few people on the left turned their heads and ears, and Li Luo heard it clearly, either suspecting that Li Luo had bad intentions, or talking about whether Li Luo was teachable.

Ye Shiyao stood up and saluted Li Luoyao: "Li Gongzi, since you have entered my cottage, even if you are your own people, the world says that we are outlaws, and no matter what the son thinks, it is up to the son."

But the ugly words are ahead, if the son teaches me to read and write with all my heart, I will naturally not treat you badly, but if you have ulterior motives, then don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless. ”

Li returned the salute and smiled indifferently, without showing any annoyance.

Ye Shiyao paused, pointed to everyone in the audience and said: "These Li Gongzi have already seen it before, this is Han Qinghai, the second master of my village, Huang Shun, the third master, the fourth master, and Zhao Daniu, the fifth master. ”

After the words fell, Huang Shun bowed to Li Luo, quite a little close, Zhao Daniu smiled, raised his hand, not very concerned, Wen Chu just nodded lightly, the middle-aged man called Han Qinghai was motionless, even if he looked at Li Luo as unwilling.

Li Luo smiled, hugged his fists and saluted, and the expression on his face did not change, but although Han Qinghai didn't seem to take Li Luo to heart, his internal strength was faintly around Li Luo's body.

Ye Shiyao continued: "You have already met the two of them, Shi Zhaoshi Shaoxia and my sister Ye Xiaoxi. ”

Shi Zhao turned his head to look at Li Luo, and said with a rough smile: "Li Gongzi, the children in the village still need you to work hard." ”

Li Luo smiled slightly, nodded, and Ye Xiaoxi beside him said happily: "Li Gongzi, you will be the gentleman in the village in the future, if you tell Xiaoxi something, I can also share some of the burden for Gongzi." ”

Li Luo thanked him, his face was plain, neither frightened nor happy, but he was unwilling to be too close to everyone, but he showed a little bookishness and dispelled everyone's doubts.

Ye Shiyao turned to the first few people on the left, and said in a harmonious voice: "These are the elders in my cottage, and the old village owner has been guarding here when he is here, and he is highly respected, and the son should be remembered." ”

Li Luo raised his eyes and looked, and the old man with gray temples who spoke first was called Ye Bo, but what his name was Ye Shiyao did not say.

According to this, the old man with a solemn expression and bright eyes is named Wen Xingliang, and most of the people in the village are called Wen Bo.

The old man on his side has a kind face, always has a smile on his lips, and has a goatee, which is even a bit of a naughty child, called Ye Zhushan.

The last old man had a dark face, wrinkles on his face, as if he was a few years older than others, his face was full of hard work, but there was a special light between his eyes opening and closing, Li Luo secretly speculated that he was mostly a think tank in the cottage, called Han Gong.

Li Luo was not arrogant, one by one, the old man in the audience saw that although Li Luo did not speak much, his expression was lonely, but he still knew the etiquette, and then he disappeared a little hostile, his expression was slightly softened, and he also raised his hand to return the salute.

Han Gong asked hoarsely, "What is Gongzi Li called?" Where are the people? ”

Li Luo exhaled lightly and said: "My surname is Li, the double character Xuanlou, I now live in Lianyun Mansion, Shahu Prefecture, I was born in Daganzhuo City in my early years, and moved to Shahu Prefecture with my uncle in the clan when I was more than ten years old, and now I go back to Zhuocheng to take the exam and gain fame." ”

"Fame?" Wen Chu laughed shamefully, "Now Da Gan's fame is not something that a poor scholar like you can pass the exam, there are no 10,000 taels of silver at home, I think you still have to eliminate this idea, you have no money to spare, only a few broken books, hum, even if you get to Zhuocheng, I am afraid that you will have to sleep on the streets in a few days." ”

Li Luo smiled indifferently and replied: "Scholars should make a living with books, even if they can't get fame, they always have to try to find out." ”

Wen Chu sneered and didn't answer anymore, except for a few people in the audience, except for Ye Shiyao, they all showed contempt, and they didn't want Li Luo to be pedantic to this point, so they still had such thoughts.

Han Gong spread his eyes and said slowly: "It's a coincidence, Gongzi lives in Lianyun Mansion in Shahu, and the old man is also from Shahu Prefecture, so it is adjacent to Lianyun Mansion, and it is even more coincidental that our cottage is called Lianyun Village, and Gongzi seems destined to come here." ”

Li Luo smiled lightly, as if he didn't see the surprise flashing in Huang Shun and Wen Qi's eyes, looking at Han Gong with a smile, Ye Shiyao and the others looked at Li Luo quite playfully, except for Ye Xiaoxi and Zhao Daniu, the rest of the people in the audience were slightly raised in their hearts.

Sure enough, after Han Gong spoke, he asked about the customs of Shahu and Lianyun Mansion, and Li Luo answered fluently.

Han Gong's words were false and real, but they were all broken by Li Luodao, but what he said was a strange custom that Han Gong and everyone in the audience had never heard of, which opened everyone's eyes, nodded again and again, and believed in Li Luo's background a little more.

In the end, Han Gong had nothing to ask, and then asked where Li Luo lived, Li Luo replied calmly, and randomly found a village near the Shuangfeng Camp to inform everyone, but he was not afraid that someone in the cottage would go to investigate.

The cottage is not as good as the art of transmitting messages in the Shepherd Wolf Army, once it goes, it will take several months, to say the least, and at that time, I am afraid that this cottage should be a different situation.

Han Gong changed his words, and asked about a few books that Li Luo was carrying, before going up the mountain, Li Luo's bag had been turned over by the thieves several times, but fortunately, Li Luo's medical book had already been hidden close to him, and he was not searched out by the bandits, only a few books of mountain and wild ambitions were left outside.

Most of the thieves didn't know a few words, and they couldn't understand what was written in the book, so they brought them up and handed them over to a few literate people in the village.

Han Gong took out one of them, flipped through a few pages, and said lightly: "These books don't look like books that should be used for the exam, how could Li Gongzi bring these books with him?" ”

Li Luo looked at the book in Han Gong's hand, and said with a pale face: "Scholar, remember, reason, preaching, that's all, the books I have studied, not only the book of reasoning and preaching, naturally cannot be missing the book of memoirs, this book in Mr. Han's hand records most of the rivers and lakes in my Dagan, where they originate, the state capital of runoff, the drought and flood seasons, related to the national economy and people's livelihood, why is it not a book for scientific research?"
