Early the next morning, Monroe wanted to go to private school.

As soon as Yi De stepped into the garden and was about to enter the room, he saw an old gentleman standing there with a sinking face. The fluffy and shiny beard in the past was also brushed into a handful by him, as if he was tied up, and if it weren't for the fact that he quickly put aside the eyes after looking at each other, Yi De suspected that he was going to be eaten by his eyes.

"Chen Yide, it's you little rabbit cub who is late again."

Seeing this, Yi De hurriedly took out the 300-word review book from his sleeve that he had come up with last night's hard work, lowered his head and handed it over: "Master, this is the review I realized last night. ”

I don't know if it was because I saw the review book and heard that he didn't sleep all night, the old gentleman who took the review book also had a bit of a backwater face, and he nodded:

"Well, let's go inside."

"Chef Xie."

Yi De saluted, shrunk his head and lowered his head and wanted to walk in, just thinking that he could breathe a sigh of relief after passing the test, and the old gentleman's voice sounded behind him:

"Oh yes."

One sentence is right, so frightened that Yi De shrunk his neck again, for fear that he had done something bad and was discovered by him, and the little heartbeat was about to burst out of the heavenly spirit cover. Suppressing the trembling of his body, Yi De turned around, but he still lowered his head, and his hands unconsciously pulled the corners of his hem: "Master, what's the matter?" ”

"Hmm." The old gentleman raised his eyes and quietly looked around the garden, especially the gate and interior door, and approached Yi De quietly, and asked softly, "Yesterday I asked you to go back and ask about your father, what does your father think?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Yi De stopped trembling his body, raised his head, and looked at the old gentleman's face suspiciously, and was a little confused for a while.

"Huh? Yesterday? Ask my dad? What do you think? Yesterday? ”

He kept repeating these questions in his mind, as if he wanted to awaken the secret that had been sleeping in the depths of his memory. Suddenly, he remembered what his master had asked him when he had left school yesterday afternoon.

"So that's not to remind him to write a review, but to go back and ask about things, right?!" Yi De yelled inwardly.

But Yi De really didn't know what to ask, and he didn't know when he said it, because he had only met the master twice yesterday: the first time was when he was fishing in the river with his classmates and saw the master lifting his pants not far away; The second time was when he woke up and accidentally looked up and saw the master.

"Did you say it while I was asleep?!" Yi De's mouth opened slightly, and he asked in surprise.

Thinking of this, he lowered his head again, and his body trembled again.

Seeing this scene, the old gentleman was really a little crying and laughing, and there was no need to ask if the little cub must have heard it because he was asleep.

That's it, the old gentleman thought. Then he reached out and touched Yide's trembling little head.

Yi De, who thought that he would be subject to corporal punishment, had already shrunk his head and was fully prepared, but the ensuing caress disturbed his heart of seeing death as home. He wondered why the Master was not angry.

So he raised his head to see the master's expression, and as soon as he was halfway there, he heard the master's words in his ears: "After school in the afternoon, the old man will go back with you and ask your father's opinion." ”

At that moment, Yi De seemed to feel the weight of the old gentleman's palm, he didn't know what the problem was, he needed the master to go with him, but he guessed that it should be very important, so he nodded lightly: "Okay." ”

The old gentleman smiled, gently patted Yi De's head a few times, and motioned for him to come in and read early. Yi De naturally did not resist, and walked in straight with the old man's strength.

I finally found my seat and took out the bamboo slips, but I found that my mind was all on this afternoon's home visit, and even when it was lunch time, I relied on the reminders of my classmates to come back to my senses.

The other side.

The gloomy house was filled with baskets and dustpans, and beside it there were even several baskets full of vines on the ground, and in the middle stood a man, with all his heart pouring out of the basket of vines the upper tiger vines mixed in with them.

This kind of vine is special, the whip long vine is covered with dense leaves, because its leaves look like tiger claws, like to grow on the mountainside stone wall, and can refresh the spirit and refine the bones, the medicinal effect is fierce, very people can bear, only to be crowned with a tiger.

After Chen Guang finally collected the staggered and mixed tiger vines in his hand, he spread them one by one in the dustpan, until he took a dustpan and spread it again, until the tiger vines in the basket were selected, and after the remaining piles of weeds, Chen Guang arranged the dustpan layer by layer.

The medicinal effect of this tiger vine is the most vigorous when it is first picked, and the best way to use it before drying is to take a bath with water and juice, but this method can also bring intense pain to the user.

However, by drying the juice and boiling the body with the remaining branches, it can also achieve the effect of refreshing the bones, and will greatly reduce the excessive pain, but its medicinal effect will also be weakened.

This tiger vine is usually rarely bought, but every year at this time there will be guests in batches to buy, and now the days are approaching, Chen Guang is also in order to make some money to provide for the expenses of his father and son, so he went up the mountain early to pick several baskets back.

After setting up the remaining dustpan, Chen Guang turned around and was about to clean up the broken branches and leaves on the table, when he heard footsteps outside the door. He turned his head to look out the window at the sky, which was slightly dark.

It should be that Yi De has come back from school. Chen Guang thought about it, and the movements in his hands also sped up a little.

But before he could finish cleaning up, he heard the sound of the door opening outside, followed by his son's milky words: "Master, this is it." ”

Pedant? Chen Guang muttered in a low voice, frowning in confusion. While thinking about what Yide's master had come for, he took the basket directly from the side, wiped the remnants off the table, and then placed it in a corner of the wall, patted his clothes, turned around and walked towards the door.

Seeing Yi De and the old gentleman who were striding outside the door, Chen Guang hurriedly went out to help.

Seeing Chen Guang coming, Yi De's originally silent face only raised a look, and he waved his hand at Chen Guang with a smile: "Dad! ”

Chen Guang nodded, made a gesture of support, looked at Yi De and asked, "Yi De, who is this old gentleman?" ”

"Dad, the master of our private school."

Hearing this, Chen Guang suddenly realized, Chen Guang quickly stepped forward to help, but unexpectedly, the old gentleman waved his hand, signaled that he didn't need to, and then raised his finger to point to the house, and said to Chen Guang: "Let's go into the house and talk." ”

Looking at the old gentleman with a serious face, Chen Guang chuckled in his heart for no reason, and then frowned and looked at Yi De on the side, but this little guy looked innocent again, which really made Chen Guang feel puzzled.

"Yide, go in and make a pot of tea."

Yi De answered, and his small body swooped in like a mouse. Chen Guang didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly took the old gentleman into the house and sat down.

After the tea was served and Yi De retreated, Chen Guangcai sat down and disturbed the old gentleman who was originally observing the room.

After Chen Guang poured a cup of tea for the two, he said with a little embarrassment: "Please forgive me for treating each other with medicinal tea." ”

"Huh!" The old gentleman shook his head and shook his hand, chuckled and said, "It's not in the way, it's not in the way." ”

After speaking, the old gentleman picked up the teacup, approached and sniffed, as if he had inhaled fairy energy: "This medicinal tea..."

Halfway through his words, the old gentleman suddenly raised his glass of tea and drank it again.

After the tea was in his stomach, the old gentleman took a long breath and said, "Like the old man, I like it the most!" Hahaha! ”

Seeing the old gentleman like this, Chen Guang was embarrassed to be cautious, and also raised a glass of tea and drank it all.

"If the Master likes it, it's fine."

As he spoke, Chen Guang filled the two of them with tea again.

The old gentleman on the side also quieted down after laughing, and after he looked around the room, he suddenly remembered something: "Yo, look at the old man's memory, the old man forgot to introduce himself." The old man is the master of the Hope Private School, surnamed Li, who is responsible for teaching Ling Lang's studies. ”

"Master Li." Chen Guang nodded at the old gentleman, and then said, "Under Chen Guang, just call me Xiaoguang." ”

Hearing this, the old gentleman also nodded, and was silent for a while, he suddenly turned his head and asked, "What is on this shelf... On the Tiger Vine? ”

"Oh, most of them, they were just picked in the morning, so the taste is a little astringent." Chen Guang looked at the dustpans and said, "Why don't you take some back?" Treat it as if you were teaching the dogs these days..."

"Huh!"

Li Fuzi hurriedly waved his hand: "It is the responsibility of the old man to teach Ling Lang." ”

"It's Xiaoguang, you." As he spoke, Master Li sighed, looked at Yi De, who was lying under the tree outside the house, and said, "On the way, I heard Xiao Yi say that his mother died a few years ago, which is really hard for you, and you grew up alone." ”

Following his gaze, Chen Guang also looked at Yi De under the tree, and only held back a few words after half a sound: "Fortunately, Yi De's child is not difficult to bring." ”

"It's also thanks to you that I taught Yide, a sensible child." As he spoke, Chen Guang raised a glass of tea to the old gentleman again.

But the old gentleman shook his head: "Xiao Yi, this child, is sensible in his own right, and this is also thanks to Xiao Guang, you are a father." ”

Chen Guang put down the teacup, looked at Yi De, sighed, and said, "Actually, as Yi De's father, I haven't disciplined me too much. ”

"Xiao Yi, this baby, although she is young, but her mind is smart. This future must be a talent. ”

"This has to be taught by Master Li."

Chen Guangzheng wanted to make tea, but was stopped by the old gentleman waving his hand: "Xiao Guang." ”

Suddenly, the serious old gentleman really jumped Chen Guang, and then he remembered what Lu Shengren said: If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace.

So Chen Guang took a deep breath and waited for the old gentleman's breath to pause.

"Xiaoguang, in fact, the old man saw you this time, mainly to ask your opinion."

"Opinions?"

The old gentleman nodded, looked at Yi De who was playing with Xiao Ji outside the door, and said in a heavy tone: "Yi De, you are also six years old." ”

Chen Guang nodded.

"In two days, the annual battle ability test of the Gym will begin."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Guang's face turned pale instantly, and he violently pressed his legs that wanted to stand up, desperately trying to cover up his disordered breathing.

It didn't seem to see Chen Guang's reaction, and the old gentleman still said to himself: "It stands to reason that every child must be tested, but the old man is also a person who knows about the in the Dao Hall, so he will come to ask your opinion." ”

As he spoke, the old gentleman turned his gaze to look at Chen Guang opposite.

At this time, Chen Guang's face only recovered more than half, and in the eyes of the old gentleman, he seemed to be a person who knew about the affairs of the Daoist Hall, and his inner thoughts were even more resolute: "Don't worry, the old man can let Yi De avoid the test." ”

When Chen Guang heard this, his originally somewhat dark eyes became a little more colorful.

"The premise is that Yi De has to withdraw from school."
