8. The partition wall has ears
Lu Yuexian didn't ask for any food on the first day, but all this seemed to be expected by Old Man Li and Wang Dajiao, and they naturally took out a little bit of their food for Lu Yuexie. Maybe it was because the beating he was a little too hard a few days ago, and Wang Dajia didn't go to grab the food today. In the following days, Lu Yuexian was gradually able to get food, but he always had so little food, although he was only five years old, but the people of this world did not bet more sympathy for him because of his young age. The indifferent are still indifferent, and the swearers are still cursing, either because they are inexplicably arrogant, or noble. Think about it, after all, this kind of thing is not something that a beggar should accept.
This kind of life lasted for about a month, and Lu Yuexian was able to beg for enough food without having to rely on his Grandpa Li and Uncle Wang every day. After getting along for a long time, Lu Yuexian had already changed his words. It's just that Lu Yuexian still doesn't know their names, and in their words, they have forgotten their names.
A month later, his Grandpa Li and Uncle Wang suddenly and mysteriously told him that they were going to take him to a good place. As for the place, they didn't tell Lu Yuexie, they just said that Lu Yuexian would definitely like it there.
At this time, the sun was much more scorching than before, and although the streets were still full of people, most of them were toilers, and as for the dignitaries, they all shrank at home, or went out to escape the heat. From time to time, there was a slight smell of sweat on the street, and Lu Yue followed behind Old Man Li and Wang Da, wiping the sweat off his body with his hands from time to time. Lu Yuexian didn't know the destination of this trip, but just followed them. And Old Man Li and Wang Da just walked forward, and a few times Lu Yuexian asked curiously, they always smiled and replied, "It's just ahead." He didn't know how long he walked, but there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and occasionally he could see a few children passing by in clothes he had never seen before, and only a few years older than him. However, when those people saw these three people, they would wave their hands in disgust, as if they were driving away something. But one thing is better, and that is that none of them cursed them, or really drove them away.
Soon, Lu Yuexian saw a strange building, some of which were very special, and from time to time he could hear some sounds coming from inside. Old man Li and the others took Lu Yue diagonally around the back of the building, and then motioned for Lu Yuediagonal to sit down in the corner of a certain building. I only heard the old man say: "Xiao Yuexi, do you know what kind of place this is?"
Lu Yue looked at this place suspiciously and shook her head.
Seeing Lu Yue slanting his head, Wang Da said, "Xiao Yuexiao, don't you even know about the school? This is the best academy in Peak Valley City, the Peak Valley Academy named after this city. ”
When Lu Yuexian heard his Uncle Wang say this, he was even more puzzled, after all, he was a beggar and didn't have the money to enter such a good academy, what were they going to do with leading him to such a place?
Looking at Lu Yuexian's puzzled expression, Old Man Li said, "Of course, we didn't bring you here to say that we have the ability to let you study in this academy. In the past month, in addition to begging every day, we have actually been inquiring about where the best academy in Peak Valley City is. When we learned that the best college was here, we would come to this place to grope after begging for a certain amount of food, and later we discovered this place. Old man Li pointed to the place where Lu Yue was sitting.
"Is there anything special about this place? I don't feel anything special?" Lu Yue said strangely.
"There's nothing strange about this place, but listen carefully and see if you can hear anything?" Wang Da said to Lu Yue a little mysteriously.
Lu Yuexian listened to his Uncle Wang's instructions with his eyes closed for a while, and said with some surprise: "You can hear the sound of lectures in several classrooms here. By now he understood why they had brought him here. Going to school is a luxury for the poor in this world, Lu Yuexian never thought that he would be able to go to school one day, although he was just eavesdropping outside the wall, but Lu Yuexian was already very satisfied.
"Yes, we tried several places and found this place to be the best. A few of us don't have a chance, but the moon is slanting, you are still young, and your life should not be begging like us. Although there are many ways to change our fate, we don't have that ability, and after thinking about it, we only came up with this way. Xiao Yuexi, you don't have to go out to beg in the future, your share of food will be handed over to us. You show up here on time every day and listen to them carefully. I believe that one day, you will change your destiny. Old man Li said solemnly, and did not forget to encourage Lu Yuexian.
"But......" Lu Yuexian wanted to say something, but saw that his Uncle Wang's face suddenly became gloomy, and he only heard him say: "No, although I have no relatives with Old Man Li, we treat you as our own children, we all hope that you can have a good future, and we are also very happy that you are good." Besides, in the future, when you are out, will you still ignore our two useless bones? Don't let us down. ”
Although Wang Da's tone of voice was very harsh, Lu Yuexian could clearly feel the kind of selfless care conveyed in it, Lu Yuexian held back her tears, and said a little hoarsely: "I swear, I will definitely repay my grandfather and uncle, definitely." ”
Since then, Lu Yuexian will appear in this corner on time every day, listening carefully to every voice coming from inside. And of course, the three of them couldn't still stay in that little house. In order to make it easier for Lu Yue to listen to the class, Old Man Li and Wang Da also moved their nests to the vicinity of Fenggu Academy. Their new nest was a dilapidated thatched hut not far from the back door of Fenggu Academy, and every day after listening to the class, Lu Yuexian would carefully draw in that corner for a long time, and then return to this thatched hut. Sometimes, Lu Yuexian would depict what he had heard, which was still difficult for him to understand, in the thatched hut. After all, he didn't have pen and paper, which was a luxury for him, and in a way, he was still on the verge of life and death, and food was always the core of their lives. But Lu Yuexian also had a way, every time they were roasting something, Lu Yuexian would take out a few pieces of charcoal, and then use this charcoal to carve in the thatched hut. His Uncle Wang and Grandpa Li saw that he was so studious, and they never blamed Lu Yuexian for portraying everywhere, and even they occasionally asked Lu Yuexian if he had mastered the things he portrayed.
The change of fate needs to rely on himself, and Lu Yuexian cherishes this opportunity very much, because it not only involves the change of his own fate, but also contains the expectations of his Uncle Wang and Grandpa Li. Time may pass quickly, but Lu Yuexian has never wasted time. Humane diligence can make up for shortcomings, when Lu Yuexian first started listening, of course, there would be a lot of things he didn't understand, but with his tenacity, that desire to change his fate, after recording all the doubts, in the process of listening to the lectures in the future, he continued to confirm, compare, and gradually find out the answer. And with several times the effort he had put in for those students, he was finally able to keep up with the lessons he had heard in that corner of Peak Valley Academy. Of course, the premise of all this is that Lu Yuexian is a very smart child, and Lu Yuexian is just a child. A child is a blank slate, and it doesn't matter whether he's smart or stupid. Wisdom lies in the effort they put in, and stupidity is simply that they put in far less effort than those who are smart.
"Yuexi, it's time to eat, today your Uncle Wang is going to have a small piece of meat steak, hey, it would be nice if someone held a wedding every day, and we would have meat to eat every day." Wang Dajia no longer relies on grabbing to get food, according to Wang Dajia, this is called "washing the mind and changing the face". As for what "washing his heart and changing his face" meant, he didn't understand, he just heard Lu Yuexian tell him the general meaning, and he didn't remember the meaning and didn't say it, but he used it in such a daze. But no matter what, Lu Yuexian was very happy, because he didn't have to worry so much about his Uncle Wang anymore. Every time he saw Uncle Wang's bruises, especially when he vomited blood several times, he couldn't help but want to cry, although he vowed not to cry again when he left the village, but looking at his Uncle Wang's situation, he really couldn't help it. Wang Da also saw Lu Yuexian's worries, although he was very happy, but in order not to worry Lu Yuexian, he finally accepted Lu Yuexian's persuasion and no longer relied on snatching to get food. In fact, when Wang Da went to that corner to listen to the lecture in Lu Yue, he didn't want to get rid of the identity of a beggar. In the past, he didn't have much to worry about, and he didn't have much thought about the state of existence, but since he put more of his mind on Lu Yuexian, he began to consider making a living through other means. However, God did not fulfill people's wishes, and he went to find many things, but everyone disliked the status of a beggar, and no one was willing to hire him. As a coolie, people dislike him for having an empty body, but he has no strength. Thinking about it, his body has long been destroyed and dilapidated by the ruthless people. As for Old Man Li, although he knows a little bit of medical skills, the other people's medical centers will definitely not want him, and ordinary people don't dare to come to him to see a doctor. Therefore, in the end, you still need to rely on them to beg for a living.
"Well, I'll come, Uncle Wang, Grandpa Li, you eat first, I will eat after I think about this problem. "Recently, I don't know what's going on, Lu Yuexian often encounters problems in the process of listening to lectures, and there are some problems that he can't figure out at all. However, due to the habit he has developed for a long time, he always likes to solve the problems he encounters today, because he is afraid that the problems will affect the next day's lectures. Today, Lu Yuexian encountered another problem, and he was considering a crucial step at this time, and he didn't plan to give up halfway.
Old man Li and Wang Da saw Lu Yuexian like this, and didn't say anything, just smiled and looked at Lu Yuexian's thinking expression. After saving the best bit of rice and a few pieces of meat for Lu Yuexian, they ate it on their own.
