252. Into the mountains
So Mr. Xue was holding a jar of cherry wine when he stepped out of the wooden door of the Shen family's courtyard, and his expression was foggy.
When will drinking alcohol cure his congenital deficiencies?
In the courtyard, Xu Lao, who was originally carelessly concocting herbs, finally became a little impatient with the gaze of the two of them:
"Look, didn't it help you lie?"
"Ahem, that...... Master, when did you notice? ”
She obviously only put the fruit in the spring water for a while, so it felt different?
"Hmph, don't underestimate the old man, the old man's reputation as a miracle doctor is not for nothing."
"Yes, yes, you're the best."
Cheng Xi glanced at Shen Xingluo and smiled at Xu Lao, "But Master, you told Mr. Xue that it was fruit wine soaked in medicinal herbs, didn't you smash your signboard?" ”
"If you don't learn well, that's the old man's signboard!"
"......" dare to love your signboard, you don't maintain it yourself, do you need apprentices to come?
Cheng Xi got up expressionlessly, grabbed the corner of Shen Xingluo's sleeve and left, leaving the old man alone and alone to pick up a few grasses.
"What kind of eyes are you? And you still have you, just spoiling her like this? Hey, where are you going...... Unfilial piety, unfilial piety! ”
The opening of a school in the village is a big event, and it has been lively for a few days since the start of classes.
As Shen Xingluo said, in addition to a dozen children, many people came to listen to the class, and even a few elders including Uncle Man Ho also listened with relish.
In the face of the gaze of so many people, Xue Xiuwen's tone was steady, without the slightest sense of nervousness.
Even though the course was just a literacy, he gave a lively and interesting explanation, giving many examples just by learning a word.
"Do all the masters in your academy teach classes like this, it's very creative!"
The ancient master who said that he preferred to have students memorize by rote?
"No, it's just Brother Xue's style."
"Mr. Xue is really talented."
Originally, she thought that Mr. Du would only be hired because of his outstanding literary talent, but now...... Maybe Huaishan Academy took advantage?
After Cheng Xi sighed, he saw Shen Manchu walking out with his hands behind his back with a proud face.
"Uncle, you also went to the lecture just now?"
"After listening, this gentleman said it so well, a group of big men understood it."
"So these uncles and uncles were all attracted by Mr. Xue?"
"Then you guessed wrong, they came on the first day."
"Huh?"
"Niece and daughter-in-law, you don't know, since the snowstorm, every family has a small amount of savings, and the family will be blind as soon as they have more money and fields."
Shen Manchu was full of interest, "Your third cousin stared at his fifty taels of silver tickets for a long time, and he didn't recognize a word, he was anxious!" ”
Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi: "......"
In order to recognize the silver ticket, it is also a fight.
"Brother Shen, Brother Shen! So you're here. ”
"Found it, found it, can be regarded as finding someone."
There were a few shouts on the road behind them, and the three of them turned their heads to see four or five scholars panting towards this side.
"Brother Shen, Brother Shen, we're here to play with you."
"By the way, take a look at Brother Xue, I heard that he is here, right?"
When all five of them arrived, they saw that there were still two people standing beside Shen Xingluo, so they gently stroked their clothes and folded their hands and leaned over slightly to say hello.
Cheng Xi glanced at Shen Xingluo, "You want to entertain guests at noon?" ’
"Brother Shen, I heard that you often go hunting in the mountains here, is it true?"
"Yes, yes, it is said that all of you in Shenjia Village are masters, and we are all curious!"
"Brother Wang, it's obvious that you're interested in this piece of Shennong Mountain, right?"
"As if you're not interested, who is shouting on the road to enter the mountain?"
......
Before Shen Xingluo could say a word, their own people quarreled, and they could only turn their heads sideways and give Cheng Xi a look.
'Don't prepare. ’
Since the opening of the school, the wooden house next to it, which has also been expanded, has been turned into a small canteen, and this side is next to the Shen ancestral hall, so three meals a day are eaten with the patrol, and several women in the village are in charge.
The food here is also a must, but Xu Lao dislikes it.
"Don't make any noise, don't make any noise, you have to ask Brother Shen about this!"
"Yes, yes, ask Brother Shen and ask Brother Shen, it is very dangerous to enter the mountain."
"Listen to Brother Shen, don't make trouble for others."
The five of them looked at this side in unison, and Shen Xingluo stood in the middle, his eyes swept over several people, inexplicably giving people an unprecedented pressure.
Shen Manho, who was standing on the side and watching, looked at this scene and sighed in his heart.
is obviously the youngest among them, but his momentum is unmatched, and the other few people faintly respect him, but they are used to it.
His Shen family is expected to prosper!
"You're going to take them into the mountains?"
Cheng Xi saw the five thin scholars celebrating on the side, full of black lines, "Although I believe in your strength very much, will it be a bit exaggerated to bring five belts and one?" ”
The Shennong Mountains are not peaceful at all, and the patrols often travel in groups.
If a fierce one runs out, and those people have legs that will run around, and they are injured in a panic, won't it affect the later exams?
"The patrol hasn't gone up the mountain today, so we can go together. Other than that...... If there is a lady who helps, I will be grateful. ”
“......”
Cheng Xi rolled his eyes, "Aren't you afraid that I will scare your classmates?" ”
Shen Xingluo glanced at them, "If they can't even bear this little fright, then how will they deal with social issues in the future?" ”
"You mean I'm giving them a scare?"
“...... No, it's a surprise. ”
"Hmph, that's pretty much it."
Cheng Xi turned around, "I'll go home and change my clothes, and I'll see you at the bottom of the mountain later." ”
Shen Xingluo felt that his wife's temper was becoming more and more like Xu Lao, especially recently.
Two quarters of an hour later, everyone gathered at the foot of Shennong Mountain.
The five guests cast strange glances at Cheng Xi, who was dressed in simple women's clothes, and were relieved to think that she was the daughter of a dart master.
Brother Shen's wife knows martial arts, and if he doesn't object to it like that, it should be very powerful...... Right?
"Alright, we're all here, let's go!"
Lian Hu was in charge of patrolling today, with six strong villagers, plus two people from the Shen family and five classmates, and the team was very strong.
Today, Shennong Mountain is lush and green, the leaves have long since changed from the original tender green to dark green, and the feet are overgrown with weeds and mixed with many kinds of herbs.
Everyone walked forward with a shallow foot, and met a few hare running happily on the way, and after half an hour, Lian Hu saw that the five people were tired and panting, and announced their rest.
"Where is this, we've crossed a mountain, right?"
"That's just the smallest one in Shennong Mountain, and that mountain can't be considered a mountain, not even a rabbit."
"...... "That's why it's so hard to get tired and out of breath, and the business hasn't started yet, has it?"
Several people rubbed their slightly sore ankles, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.
