Chapter 16: A Childhood Wish

To the south of the bustling human settlement, there is a lush forest. It is a place of lush foliage, and countless majestic trees straighten their waists, greedily absorbing the sunlight that nature has given them. It was autumn, and the green was about to be replaced by yellow, and the noisy finches were not standing on the branches where they were always there, and the forest was replaced by a few silences.

But the forest was not replaced by dead silence. Under the not thick fallen leaves, a gray-brown squirrel was searching for food for the winter, and the shadow of a huge eagle was projected, and the squirrel ran into the shadows and disappeared; In a seemingly peaceful pond, an animal with a large glowing horn was drinking water, but it didn't know that in the grass beside it, the terrifying hunter bared its fierce fangs...... What happens in the forest has not changed much, but people's constant outlook on life makes it impossible for it to remain the same.

"Jane is at home, and there is no disobedience to the master; Harmony and solidarity in the township. ”

"Absorb the mind, righteousness lasts forever; Not afraid of demons, not afraid of ghosts and gods. ”

"When encountering injustice, the first thing to do is to introspect; Be worthy of yourself and find another way. ”

"Do your best and be humble; Seeing fallacy, he often avoids anger. ”

"What should be done, you should be independent; Arrogant and greedy, everyone is evil. ”

"If you are noble, appoint people on the basis of merit; Don't bow to kisses, don't give generous courtesies. ”

…………………………………………

In the village next to the forest, a pair of birds are working together to build a nest for the winter, and in the distance, the chimneys of unknown houses have risen with curling smoke. In the middle of the village, two brand-new buildings sit in a flat clearing, and most of the roads crisscross it. Yingying's reading voice came from it, and two sturdy men next to her passed by, and they were attracted by the sound of reading after each of them finished greeting.

"Eh, I said Lao Wu, this old Chen's academy is really good. Listen to how good our family Ah Shun Nian is! ”

"If you want to talk about it, our Xiaoguang is not bad! They learn so well, Lao Zhou, do these children have to surpass us when they grow up? ”

"That's for sure, isn't there a saying 'the back wave pushes the front wave'? They're all going to overtake us! Hahahaha......"

"Hahahaha...... Okay, it's not too early, it's time for me to go home and talk another day? ”

"Okay, then let's talk another day!"

The sun gradually tilted towards the western mountains, and the whole sky changed from pale blue to fiery red. At the end of the day's schoolwork, Yu Tongwen's gentle words came out, and all the children said "goodbye, teacher" in unison, and chased each other away.

Yu Tongwen picked up the cup on the table, there was still some water left in it, and after moistening his dry throat, there were guests in the school here.

The person who came was Chen Wentao, and from his expression, it seemed that he had not just arrived here, but should have been staying outside for fear of disturbing the children's studies. After Yu Tongwen saw the person who came, he hurriedly said, "Brother Chen! Sit, sit, sit, sit. After beckoning Chen Wentao to sit down, he said, "Brother Chen, sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water." ”

"No need." Chen Wentao waved his hand to stop him, "There is only one thing I have come here, the Enlightenment Analytical Instrument you called me last time...... I really don't know where to start, you see, if you find time to accompany me to the county......"

Hearing this, Yu Tongwen screamed and slapped his head: "Eh, I forgot that Brother Chen is not an academic person." In this case, I will go to the county with you, and I will go now. ”

"Go now?" Chen Wentao was relieved to hear that Yu Tongwen was going with him, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he raised his anger again, "Don't be so anxious......

"Brother Chen, you don't know, although the Qiling Analysis Instrument is not a rare thing, but the fraud is also expensive, if Xingluo County does not borrow it, we have to go to other counties to have a look, this time will delay time." As he spoke, Yu Tongwen was already ready to change his clothes.

After hearing this, Chen Wentao wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "Then I have to go back and prepare quickly." ”

"Okay, let's go."

Originally, Ah Chen thought that after the construction of the academy was completed, his grandfather would have more time to accompany him, but he didn't expect that after the completion of the construction, Chen Wentao had been running out for several days in a row. Today, when I was playing in the house, I heard my grandmother's voice in the yard:

"Going out again?"

"Yes, it may take a while for me to come back this time. What about Ah Chen? Ah Chen, come. ”

Ah Chen heard Chen Wentao's voice and walked out of the house, and when he saw his grandfather wearing the coat he was wearing outside, he stepped forward.

"Grandpa?"

Chen Wentao touched Ah Chen's face, "Ah Chen, grandpa went out with Teacher Yu, remember to tell the other children that classes will be suspended tomorrow." Ah Chen nodded emphatically.

The next day, on a large rock at the head of the village, a group of children gathered again.

"Ah Chen, you said you won't be in class today?" Xiaoguang asked lazily as he lay on the stone.

"Yes, Teacher Yu and Grandpa went out." Ah Chen sat on one side, one leg crossed.

"You say, what can the two of them do when they go out?" Ah Shun scratched his head, puzzled.

"I guess it's for the sake of the academy, isn't Teacher Yu brought back by the village chief's grandfather?" Niu Niu nodded, seemingly satisfied with the answer.

"What's that for the Academy?" Yaya was not to be outdone, and followed closely to speak.

"If we could have guessed, we'd follow." Xiaoguang unexpectedly vented everyone's anger.

"By the way, this world is so big, do you want to see it?" Ah Chen's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of excitement.

"What do you think, it's not like we can't get out?" Xiaoguang dragged a piece of grass from the side and played with it in his hand.

"Just be a chanter. After becoming a singer, the sky is high and the sea is wide, let us soar! ”

"Yes," Niu Niu also came to join in the fun, "After becoming a spirit singer, I want to be a big brother!" ”

"Stay with you, just like your bear, and be a big brother." Xiaoguang hit Niu Niu's head with the grass in his hand.

"Big brother, are you boys full of this?!" Yaya looked a little angry.

"Eh, Ah Shun, why don't you speak?" Ah Chen looked at Ah Shun.

"Teacher Yu said that only humble people can be big brothers."

"Ah Shun! Why are you?! ”

The leisure time gradually slipped away in the noise of everyone, and the clouds in the sky were also pinched and changed into many shapes by invisible hands, and Teacher Yu and the village chief grandfather finally returned before dusk came.

As soon as he arrived in the village, Chen Wentao beckoned everyone to unload the instruments on the wooden cart, and kept telling while unloading them:

"Be careful, be careful, this instrument is expensive, don't bump into it."

"Eh, old Liutou, raise your head, yes, yes......"
