Mu Zilei was about to put on a neat shirt when he wiped the water on his body, and suddenly, the door of the room opened, and he exclaimed, "Mother, I haven't dressed yet." ”

"What are you ashamed of, my mother doesn't know how many times I've watched it. Mu Wan'er said, holding a yellowed letter in her hand, looking Mu Zilei's [***] up and down indifferently.

"Mother, why do you rush in so quickly?" Mu Zilei noticed his mother's gaze and quickly put on his clothes.

"Mother remembered something," Mu Wan'er handed the letter in her hand to Mu Zilei and said excitedly, "Look at this letter." ”

Mu Zilei took the letter and opened it, there was only a short sentence on it, "I'll rush back soon-fu", this letter is familiar to Mu Zilei, it may be the only clue that Mu Zilei can contact with his life experience, he believes that the "fu" on the top is his father. Since he became sensible, he would wait at the entrance of the village almost every day, hoping that one day, his father would rush to Stone Village from outside to find their mother and son to reunite with their mother and son, as the letter said. Whenever a stranger entered the village, the little Mu Zilei would ask "Are you my father?", but every time he was disappointed, for so many years, except for more people to remember this strange child who bowed like a hunchbacked old man, there was nothing.

"Isn't this the letter that was left on you back then?" Mu Zilei said suspiciously, "Mother, did you remember something?"

"I finally remembered where this letter came from!" Mu Wan'er said something that surprised Mu Zilei.

"Where?" he asked, hurriedly.

"Bacon Academy!" these words made Mu Zilei stunned for a long time.

"Is that dad a teacher at Bacon Academy?" asked Mu Zilei expectantly.

Mu Wan'er shook her head, sighed lightly, and said, "It's a pity that I only remember that this letter came from Bacon Academy, but I can't remember who sent the letter at all. ”

"Then if I take this letter to the Bacon Academy to look for it, maybe I can find some clues," Mu Zilei said happily, "Mother, let's go to register for the village exam tomorrow, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to get a place to enter the Bacon Academy!"

"Then I'll tell your grandparents about this," Mu Wan'er touched Mu Zilei's head with relief, "It seems that Xiao Lei has really grown up, not only psychologically, but also physically." After that, he glanced at Mu Zilei's lower body and turned around and walked out of the door, leaving Mu Zilei with an embarrassed face.

In order to show fairness, the annual village examination will be held in 14 villages in the stone belt in turn, and even the registration point is also set up in the host village, and this year it is just the turn of the stone village to be held, so when Mu Zilei followed Mu Wan'er to the village examination registration point set up in the ancestral hall of the village, it was not surprising to see a long queue at the door.

Next to the end of the line, several ladies whispered together, and one of them pointed at Mu Zilei. Mu Zilei recognized that person, she was Shi Chisha's mother, Aunt Shi, who was a well-known long-tongued woman in the entire stone forest belt, her long neck was as famous as her long-tongued gossip nature, and the root of her neck was twice as long as ordinary people, which made it very easy for her to stretch her neck all day long to spy on the movements of her neighbors.

She is very doting on his baby son Shi Chisha, and often praises people when she meets people, not only does not mention his domineering behavior, but also often pushes the responsibility to others.

"Look at the evil created by this plague star, it looks like a little old man. Aunt Shi said loudly unabashedly.

"Can you not cause evil? I heard that your stone village has been plagued by natural disasters every year since he was born," a lady Lin with a pointed chin and small eyes chimed in, "Fortunately, there are no such strange things in our Lin Shi Village." Dumb, don't you say?"

She looked down and saw that her son, who had been following her, was gone. "The first time he came out, he ran around, and he must not know where he was in a daze?" she said and walked away in search of her son.

This little episode did not interrupt everyone's interest, they blatantly pointed at Mu Zilei, and continued the topic just now, and the voices of ridicule came and went.

Mu Zilei lowered his head, forcibly endured the unhappiness in his heart, and planned to ignore the piercing laughter. Suddenly, he felt his hand being pulled in the other direction, and his mother's loud voice came to his ears.

"What's so funny? Haven't you seen my son? My son isn't a scourge and hasn't done anything wrong! He's just born with an abnormal back!"

Those big ladies obviously didn't expect Mu Wan'er to come over and talk to them so confidently, and they broke up unhappily under her angry glare.

"Xiao Lei, don't care about other people's eyes, if the god is fair, he will make us all hunchbacks by nature. Remember your mother's words, you are no different from others. Mu Wan'er shook Sou Mu Zilei's hand vigorously.

"Mother, I remember, I am the same as others, no different. Mu Zilei nodded seriously......

"Sister-in-law Mu, your son and others ...... It's different," Shi Youdao, the fat-headed and round-headed village chief, told Mu Wan'er sitting in front of him with regret, "not to mention his physical deformity, nor his title of "disaster star" in the village. Speaking of spiritual power alone, his spiritual power is less than five stages. "This is the village chief's house, and it is a small house, but it is full of all kinds of strange stones, and the sunlight shines through the windows, which adds to the beauty.

"Chief Shi Village, everyone has differences, just like there are no two butterflies in the world that are exactly the same," Mu Wan'er pointed to a resting green and gold-veined butterfly on the windowsill, and said calmly, "But you can't refuse my son's registration for the village exam because of this difference." ”

"Sister-in-law Mu, let me explain it to you," Shi Youdao sighed, stood up and walked to the two-meter-high spirit test stone tablet next to him, and pointed to a red line marked with the words "five sections" on the stone tablet with his finger, "Spiritual power reaches above the red line, this is called normal, as we all know, almost all people born in the Atlas continent are quasi-spirits, with at least five stages of innate spiritual power, we also call it the power of spiritual roots, but your son Mu Zilei's spiritual power is in ......"

As he said this, he slowly bent down and pointed to the bottom of the Spiritual Tablet.

"Here, it's well below the red line, staying in a position of a section. At that time, I thought that the failure of the spirit test stone tablet would not show results," Shi Youdao straightened his fat body again, "A section of spiritual power - a typical half-spirit physique, it can be said that your son is the weakest person born with spiritual power in the history of our stone village, and probably in the history of the Atlas Continent." Although the Bacon Academy is the only school in the entire empire that does not require the level of spiritual power for admission, there has never been a half-spirit who can break through to the realm of the spirit or above, not to mention whether he can stand out in the village exam, even if he gets the first place, the Bacon Academy may not be admitted, so we don't want to waste time. ”

"What is the meaning of normal, he may have a little worse spiritual power foundation, but my family's Zilei has an equal chance like others, only four stages are missing, there must be a way to remedy it," Mu Wan'er raised her head and said persistently, "Besides, doesn't the regulations of the village exam say that anyone who is over twelve years old can participate?"

"That being said, it has been an unwritten rule for many years that you can register for the village exam by requiring at least five levels of spiritual power, but if you insist," Shi Village Chief paused and said, his eyes staring at Mu Wan'er's slender neck and clearly visible collarbone, "The village exam is held in the spirit of fairness, or...... We can open the net and allow Mu Zilei to participate in the village examination...... Sister-in-law, you are a smart person, you know what I mean. ”

This time, Shi Village Chief looked down at Mu Wan'er's collarbone and showed an undisguised greedy smile.

Feeling the fiery gaze of the village chief, Mu Wan'er couldn't help but shudder, and she couldn't help but wrap her collar tightly and try her best to stay calm.

"Is there no other way than this?" Mu Wan'er said, her heart sank straight down, usually this Shi Youdao connived at his son to be domineering, not to mention, he didn't expect him to be such a well-dressed beast.

"I know it's important to you, but you also know how obsessed and persistent I am with this. The village chief said calmly.

"What do you want me to do?" Mu Wan'er bit her pink lip and said in an indifferent tone.

"It's very simple, just take it off, I want to see it first. The village chief looked serious.

"Just take a look? right here, right now?" Mu Wan'er was surprised, but as soon as she remembered Mu Zilei's future and the letter from the Bacon Academy......

"Yes, take it off here, I can't wait. The village chief rubbed his hands together and said impatiently.

Mu Wan'er took a deep breath, stood up resolutely, and began to take off her clothes with slightly trembling hands.

"Sister-in-law Mu, what are you doing? Stop! I'm just letting you take off the jade from your neck!";
