Xiao Yi saw a woman and a child and an old man slowly open the door, and asked himself, although the old man said that he was lying on his body, but looking at the old man's kind eyebrows, Xiao Yi said directly: "Grandma, I'm very sorry to disturb you late at night, my name is Luo Xiaoyi, you can call me Xiao Yi, this is my sister Xing'er."

The old man looked at the two children introducing themselves in front of him, and said, "Hello, Xiaoyi and Xing'er." ”

And Xiao Yi then said: "Grandma, hello, my sister and I are from a small village thousands of miles away, our parents were killed by gangsters, and now only my sister and I are left, we have been walking for more than a month, and we want to come here to enroll in the academy of Dawn City, but we have no money, we can't live in a hotel, we want to borrow a night with you, we can just find a place to rest, we won't bother you, do you think it's okay?"

The old man heard this, and looked at the two children in front of him, the current Nebula Continent, there are all the big clans or the strongest people everywhere, and if he provokes these people, it will often bring unwarranted disasters, thinking about the two children in front of him, looking at the yellow and delicate face, muddy and dirty, thinking that I am afraid that it is also because his parents have offended people who should not be offended, the old man felt sorry for the two children, and applied for a hand towards the courtyard, looking at Xiao Yi and Xing'er, and said: "Come in, let's rest in the house first." ”

Seeing that the old man did not refuse, Xiao Yihe pulled Xing'er and bowed deeply to the old man, and then said, "Thank you, grandma." ”

Then Xiao Yi pulled Xing'er towards the courtyard and walked in, and Xiao Yi didn't forget it at this time, turned around, and closed the dilapidated courtyard door with his backhand, and then Xiao Yi and Xing'er helped the old man back to the house.

After he entered the house, he looked at the simple furnishings in the room, a few old chairs and a square table that was not very large, and then looked at the bedding scattered on the bed made of wooden planks on one side.

The old man beckoned Xiao Yi and Xing'er, did it, and then said: "Said, Xiao Yi, Xing'er, after such a long journey, I'm tired, I shouldn't have eaten much, wait for grandma to get you something to eat, there is water on the table, let's take a sip to quench your thirst." ”

After saying this, Xiao Yi saw that the old grandmother was thinking about the back room on the other side, and he picked up the cup on the table, poured two glasses of water, gave Xing'er a cup, took a cup for himself, and drank it without thinking too much.

After a while, the old woman took two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and a few dumplings and a small bowl, and the old man said after putting things on the table: "Child, grandma has nothing good to entertain you here, but only the two of you." ”

At this time, Xiao Yi and Xing'er, looking at the dumplings in front of them, were about to drool, the two of them have hardly eaten seriously for so many days, they have always eaten some wild fruits and drank some mountain springs to ensure that they will not be hungry.

At this time, Xiao Yi and Xing'er looked at the grandmother sitting next to them, and before Xiao Yi spoke, I saw Xing'er rushing to say: "Grandma, thank you, no matter what you eat, it's better than eating wild fruits and drinking mountain springs every day, thank you grandma for letting us have a place to live and be able to eat a full stomach." ”

When the old grandmother saw the words of this beautiful little girl in a childish voice, she thought, it seems that these two children have suffered a lot during this time, and then, the old grandmother asked Xing'er: "Child, in this turbulent period, we can rely on ourselves to cross the mountains and rivers and come here, it is also our fate, we have to suffer so hard at a young age, such perseverance, and the old grandmother is also very convinced, eat some gluttony." ”

When the old man said this, Xiao Yi and Xing'er devoured the dumplings, and took the bowl of pickles that the old grandmother brought, choked and drank saliva, and after a while, Xiao Yi and Xing'er were full, and the old grandmother cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and then walked out of the back room on one side, sat directly in front of Xiao Yi and Xing'er and said, "Child, how old are you."

Xiao Yi said: "I am eight years old, and my sister is seven years old, because my sister is just the age when she needs to go to school, and after these things at home, now there are only the two of us left, so I want my sister to come here to go to school." ”

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, the old grandmother said: "What a sensible person, child, but do you know that the academy in Dawn City is not something that can be entered casually, and it also needs to be assessed." ”

When Xiao Yi heard this, he suddenly remembered what his grandfather said when he gave him Nebula empowerment, saying that when he asked Xing'er to enroll in the school, he could directly have the school's tutor carry out the Nebula empowerment, but he didn't say that the college still needed to be assessed, but thinking of this, since his grandfather said so, maybe Xing'er would not have any problems going to school, if not, he would take Xing'er with him.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yi said directly: "Thank you grandma for informing me, but I want to let Xing'er try it anyway." ”

After that, the old grandmother didn't say anything, and Xiao Yi said again: "Grandma, why do you live here alone." ”

The old grandmother said: "It's hard to say, you two don't need to call me one by one, I have a star on the list, you can just call me Grandma Xing." ”

Xiao Yi heard that the name was actually a word, what kind of surname is this, why is it so weird.

Of course, what Xiao Yi thought in his heart did not say it, and then shouted in response: "Grandma Xing".

The apricot next to her also obediently followed her and shouted: "Grandma Star".

Then, Xiao Yi asked again: "Grandma Xing, how long have you lived here?" When will the college be able to enroll?"

Grandma Xing smiled and said to Xiao Yi: "I have lived here for twenty years, and the academy in Dawn City only needs some assessment when it is enrolled, it is not difficult to enter it, and the admission time also depends on the situation, if you go like this, I am afraid the chance of being able to enter is not high."

After finishing this, Xiao Yi carefully watched Grandma Xing introduce some information about the Academy of Dawn City.

Grandma Xing continued: "The academy of Dawn City, the name is Black Flame Junior College, it is said that there is this Black Flame Mountain Range in the college, and the perennial black flame in the mountain range is scorching, and the name of this academy comes from this, and the enrollment of the academy is at the beginning of each year, and a horse academy will be recruited, and the academy will leave the academy after six years regardless of the grades, and for some people with special talents, the academy is also wide open, not so strict to control the enrollment time. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yi was stunned, and then said to Xing'er: "Xing'er, we have to try tomorrow no matter what, and following me is the most unsafe." ”

Grandma Xing looked at what Xiao Yi said, thought deeply, and then said: "Okay, you guys also rest, pass through the back door, there is a side room in the backyard, where can you rest tonight."

Xiao Yi and Xing'er looked at Grandma Xing, then said thank you, and walked towards the backyard.

After many days of hard work, it is impossible for an adult not to work hard at all, not to mention the two children, after the two entered the backyard side room, they rested early.

The time of the night passed in a flash, the morning sun shone on Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi after a night's rest, many days of fatigue also went away, slowly opened his sleepy eyes, looked at the apricot who was still sleeping next to him, felt the faint cries of the street vendors in the distance outside the window, and then thought about what happened during this period of time, "hey", a sigh came.

After Xiao Yi sighed, he rubbed his eyes again, and then turned around and got out of bed.

Xiao Yi saw Xing'er wake up, turned around and returned to the bed, smiled at Xing'er, and then said, "Wake up, little lazy worm, how was your rest yesterday." ”

After running for such a long time, it can be said that last night was the best day for Xing'er to rest, and the long-term fatigue, coupled with the things he had experienced before, and his scarred heart, under the passage of time, was slowly diluted.

Xing'er, whose face had obviously improved, made a small grimace at Xiao Yi, and then said, "It's good to rest."

Then Xiao Yi said: "Then get up, let's wash up as soon as possible, take a look at Grandma Xing, and then where else do we need to go to the Black Flame Academy." ”

Hearing this, Xing'er got out of bed in a hurry.

After the two of them finished washing, they passed through the backyard and came to the place where they ate in the front room yesterday, and just entered the room, Xiao Yi looked at the room and saw that there was no Grandma Xing, and then shouted in a low voice: "Grandma Xing, are you there?"

As soon as Xiao Yi's words ended, Xing'er, who was following her, pulled the corner of her clothes, and then pointed to the table placed in the middle of the room.

Xiao Yi turned his head to look at the table, only to see that the table was placed on the table and yesterday's difference, a bowl of pickles, a few dumplings, and two bowls of porridge, and there was a note pressed under the porridge bowl, Xiao Yi quickly stepped forward to look at the note, and a few lines of words were written on the note: "Child, after breakfast, let's go to the Black Flame Academy, grandma still has something to do, go first." ”

After reading this paragraph, Xiao Yi knew that Grandma Xing was busy first, and then called Xing'er, and the two of them had breakfast, so they didn't stop too much, and went directly towards the bustling street.

After Xiao Yi and Xing'er left, in the back room on the side of the dining table, a rickety figure appeared, and if Xiao Yi and Xing'er were again, they could see that this person was the star grandmother who left a note and left.

At this time, Grandma Xing came to the table money, looked at the residue on the table, and then looked at the note she left, only to see a few more words on the note: "Thank you Grandma Xing", Grandma Xing smiled and said: "Real two cute little guys." ”

At this time, walking on the bustling street, Xiao Yi didn't know how to go to Heiyan Academy, so he casually asked a stranger beside him, and he knew the direction of Heiyuan Academy, took Xing'er's little hand, and went in the direction of Heiyan Academy.

Black Flame Academy, located in a relatively remote place on the east side of Dawn City, although it is a low-level academy, its status in Dawn City is also a well-known existence.

When Xiao Yi pulled Xing'er through the bustling street quickly, about a stick of incense, he saw the wide and magnificent college gate, and a golden plaque at the top of the gate prominently wrote a few big words of "Heiyan Junior College".

Xiao Yi looked at Xing'er, and then went directly to the door, and when he arrived at the gate of the college, he looked at a staff member at the entrance and said, "Teacher, hello, I am waiting for my sister to come to enroll, what procedures do I need to go through?"

And when the teacher saw the petite figures of the two, he said to Xiao Yi: "The enrollment time is the beginning of each year, and the current time has long passed, so let's come back next year." ”

At this time, Xiao Yi didn't show any strange expression, and said: "But doesn't the Black Flame Academy also have a rule that is not famous, if you have outstanding talent, you can enter the academy?"

At this time, the teacher who took over said: "How can you be gifted, is it because you say that you are talented?" ”

And Xiao Yi looked at the teacher at this time, and said again: "If you don't try it, how can you conclude that my sister is not talented and talented." ”

As soon as the words came out, the teacher who received the lead was instantly speechless.

At this time, a figure slowly thought about the gate and said to the teacher: "Okay, Anzi, don't say more, this little brother is right, the academy is open to everyone, everyone has a chance, not just a sentence can ruin those talented students." ”

At this time, Xiao Yifang knew that the teacher who took the lead was named An Ning, and the teachers of the college called him Anzi.

When Anzi saw this person speak, he didn't say anything, and then bowed to the other party and said, "Yes, you are right, it is the kid who has talked too much, sorry for the teacher." ”

After that, the teacher Yu turned his head to look at Xiao Yi and Xing'er, and said, "You two come with me."

Xiao Yi took Xing'er's little hand again and followed Teacher Yu towards the depths of the academy.

The academy is a place to teach and educate people, and it is also the starting point for the cultivation of Yun Ling masters in the Nebula Continent, of course, some big sects, etc., will not send their disciples to the academy, their own sect is the best place to learn, and in addition, only the royal family will send their princes and others to the royal academy where they are because they have the academy of the imperial family.

After passing through the teaching building, I came to a small courtyard with only two floors behind it, the door of the courtyard also has a few big characters written on the door "Yunyu Palace", and there are also a few words written on both sides of it, hanging vertically on both sides of the gate, the number of words on both sides is not much, there are only four words on each side: "The beginning of Yunling, the beginning of educating people" Xiao Yi and Xing'er After reading it, after looking at this teacher Yu, followed by him, he entered the courtyard and went towards the two-story small building in the courtyard.
