Half an hour later, Fu Lei returned to the main hospital to learn dispensing.

Seeing that he was not the same as when he went, and his interest was not high, the owner of the museum chuckled: "The little doll is afraid of difficulties and doesn't want to learn?" I think that at the beginning, when the big apprentice was enlightened, he was also very tired of learning.

Fu Lei shook his head a little disappointed: "No." Brother Yun really wants to learn. It's just that...... He's too stupid. It took him half an hour to barely remember his own name. After a pause, he added, "Before, I always thought he was a smart man. ”

The hall owner casually gave him a "hairy chestnut", and scolded with a smile: "How can there be so many geniuses in the world!" However, I was still a little disappointed in my heart: it took me half an hour to learn two words, and it was indeed a little stupid.

In the past two days, he has heard Lao Liu Tou talk about Shen Yun, and he also thought that he was clever, and he couldn't help but have some expectations - maybe it is because the work pays off, this doll may not be a martial arts genius that his grandfather and father have been waiting for all their lives.

Therefore, when the eldest apprentice asked for instructions and wanted to take half an hour every day to teach the little guy to read, he agreed. In addition to letting the big apprentice relax, more importantly, I want to take the school test for the little guy.

Outcome...... Thinking of this, he touched his nose self-deprecatingly, stopped looking at his apprentice, and asked lightly: "Lei'er, do you still want to teach him to read and write in the future?"

"I'm going. Fu Lei was honest, "Although Brother Yun is a little stupid, I can see that he really wants to be literate." I couldn't bear to refuse him. ”

When the hall owner heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and said no more.

Shen Yun didn't know that the hall master had given up on him. After Fu Lei left, he was still squatting on the ground, writing his name one by one.

When Lao Liu Tou woke up from a nap and came to see him, the mud in front of him was already wet with the boss.

Looking at the crooked "Shen Yun" on the ground, Lao Liu couldn't help but be moved - what a fool. Squatting on the ground and writing all day long.

As the only subordinate of the Liu Family Boxing Gym, he has to take care of all the general affairs, so although he has not formally apprenticed, he is also literate and slightly proficient. The little one is much more diligent than when he was younger.

"Yunwa, you are new to writing, you might as well try to write with a sand table first. He had the heart to mention. Practicing calligraphy in the mud is too much of a brush. Moreover, his personal experience is that practicing calligraphy in the sand table will help improve wrist strength, and the words practiced will be very powerful.

"Sand table?" Shen Yun was puzzled, "What is it?"

"It's just spreading a layer of fine sand on the ground. In the spring, the gym was repaired to the courtyard wall, and there was still some river sand left. Old Liu Tou smiled, "You've been practicing for so long, it's time to rest." I'll get you some gauze and sift a little sand. After that, you will be able to practice calligraphy in the sand table with a tree branch. ”

"Hmm. Shen Yun understood. In this way, even the brush is saved to practice calligraphy, and it is not costly at all! He smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Thank you, Grandpa Liu!"

At noon the next day, Fu Lei arrived as scheduled. He is also very in favor of practicing calligraphy on the sand table, before teaching new characters, he first examines Shen Yun and asks him to write his name on the sand table first.

The latter complied with the order, and seriously wrote the word "Shen Yun" while reading the stroke order.

"Well, it's okay. Seeing that the handwriting was a little neater than yesterday, Fu Lei took the "Literacy Song" with satisfaction, pointed to the three words on the cover, and read word by word, "Literacy-word-song." Today, let's learn the first two ......" After reading the word "Shen Yun" on the sand table, he changed his mind again, "Let's learn three words today." "Heart Dao, two words and three words, the difference is not very big, Junior Brother Yun should be able to learn it, right?

In fact, Shen Yun's performance today is much stronger than yesterday. Half an hour later, he was able to skillfully write the words "literacy song" in the sand.

"How did you learn so quickly today?" Fu Lei was a little surprised.

Shen Yun scratched his head and said with a smile: "I've been writing according to Brother Fu's words." "That's the beauty of the sand table: the words that are written, if they are not smoothed, will always stay there. The words written with a brush dipped in water will soon dry out and will not reproduce the handwriting.

"I see. Fu Lei suddenly realized. Back in the main courtyard, he reported to the master the benefits of writing on the sand table, and praised, "Grandpa Liu's method is really good, and it is very suitable for Junior Brother Yun." ”

It took half an hour to learn three words...... The owner didn't pay attention to it at all.

Five days later, the scar on Shen Yun's left leg fell, revealing a pink flesh pit. After careful examination, Fu Lei announced: "Your injuries are healed. There is no need to apply the medicine again. ”

Shen Yun was very happy, and couldn't wait to take Lao Liu's hand and begged, "Grandpa Liu, take me to find the ninth sister, okay?"

These days, Shen Yun has been staying in the back courtyard. In addition to practicing calligraphy, he lit fires, cleaned the yard, watered vegetable fields, caught insects, and almost took over all the chores in the back yard.

Old Liu Tou likes this well-behaved and diligent little guy more and more. He never married, and almost loved the little guy as his own grandson.

And Shen Yun also fully felt the kindness of the old man, and his heart was greatly reduced, and he was close to him from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, the two got along with each other obviously.

"Good. Old Liu Tou nodded without saying a word, "Tomorrow after breakfast, we will go to the village at the foot of the mountain to find someone." He was convinced of the judgment of the hall master: an eleven or twelve-year-old female doll was captured by a demon fox, where would there be a way to live? However, he couldn't bear Shen Yun's sadness, and he didn't reveal the tone of the demon fox.

Yunwa is still young. I found it, and after a long time, I forgot it in my heart. Thinking of this, he added, "However, there is a lot of work in the gym, and I can spare half a day at most every other day." He touched Shen Yun's head with pity, "There are a lot of people over there, and it's not easy to find someone." We may have to look for it a few more times. ”

Fu Lei is an insider, and he understood Lao Liu's plan, and also helped beat the side drum: "Little Brother Yun, if you want to continue to be literate, you can't come back too late in the morning." ”

Shen Yun was eager to find his eldest sister immediately in his heart. However, he thought that it would be very troublesome for him to live here for nothing, and to learn to read and write. Grandpa Liu is in charge of the chores in the boxing gym alone, he is very tired, and now he has to accompany him to find the eldest sister.

"Yes, I see. He responded gratefully, "Thank you, Grandpa Liu, Brother Fu." I'm causing you trouble. ”

"Hanwa, what are you talking about? Seeing that the little guy was so sensible, Lao Liu didn't know what to say for a while.

After breakfast the next day, Lao Liu led Shen Yun to find someone. Because they were going to the foot of the back mountain, they did not go to the front door, but left through the back door of the back courtyard and went directly to the back mountain.

Turning over the top of the mountain, the two went to the small cave where Shen Jiumei had been hiding before.

"Did you hide here before?" asked Old Liu, who still had a trace of extravagant hope in his heart.

Shen Yun couldn't help nodding: "Yes, it's this cave." He pointed to the large branch that had been thrown outside the cave, "This is what I dragged back from the woods below the hillside." Earlier, when I left, I blocked it in the doorway. So saying, he took three steps and made two steps, and rushed into the hole. Soon he ran out again with joy, "The ash heap in the cave is still there, and it is not like a wild beast has entered the cave." Grandpa Liu, the ninth sister must have been rescued!"

The dolls in the mountains are really amazing. Old Liu Tou was glad in his heart: the last time he left, he erased all the traces left by the demon fox.

In the future, he will also bite to death in front of Yunwa, and there has never been a demon fox entering the hole.

Alas, it was assumed that Shen Jiumei was rescued by a passing well-wisher. In this way, at least Yunwa won't be too sad.

"Let's go down the mountain to find your ninth sister. He hid the unbearable in his heart and forced a smile.

They first went from house to house to visit the nearest village at the foot of the mountain. More than a dozen families often go up to the mountains to collect firewood and wild vegetables. However, they all shook their heads.

"Didn't go to the top of the mountain these days. ”

"I didn't know there was a cave like that. ”

"I didn't see anyone taking an eleven or twelve-year-old girl down the mountain. ”

"You can't come down the mountain any other way, right?"

Some people even asked enthusiastically, "I lost a female doll?" Do you want us to help us go up the mountain to find it?"

was captured by the demon fox, and no matter how many people can't find it. Lao Liu Tou declined their kindness and said that he would go to other villages to ask again.

"Maybe someone from the next village saw it. People looked at the two sympathetically and comforted them with kind words.

In this way, the two spent half a month visiting all the homes at the foot of the mountain. They didn't find any news.

"Grandpa Liu, in the future, don't accompany me anymore. Shen Yun was extremely depressed, drooped his head, and said in a humming voice. He decided to find someone himself later. Grandpa Liu is not an idler, he is old again, he can't trouble the old man anymore.

Old Liu Tou couldn't help but comfort him: "There is an official road at the foot of the mountain, and there are so many merchants passing by every day. Maybe your ninth sister is a creative and was rescued by a passing nobleman. ”

"Ah, why didn't I think of it!" Shen Yun's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said excitedly, "Tomorrow, I'll go to the foot of the mountain again to ask if there are any people from outside the mountain on those days." ”

What an idiot. Old Liu Tou sighed in his heart: "I'll accompany you tomorrow." ”

"Not really. Shen Yun said seriously, "Grandpa Liu, I know a lot of dolls in the village over there." They'll help me. I'll just ask myself. ”

That's just as well. Lao Liu Tou saw with his own eyes that Shen Yun had a good temperament, and he was indeed very popular with the children at the foot of the mountain over there, and he was very familiar with them.

also made a lot of friends, and Yunwa was able to slowly forget about the ninth sister.

The most important thing is that he has already obtained a letter from the owner of the gym, and Shen Yun cannot be an apprentice in the gym. However, the hall owner decided to take Shen Yun in as a handyman. He's getting older, and it's time to bring a helper by his side. Shen Yun is diligent with his hands and feet, simple and well-behaved, and has nowhere else to go, so he is a suitable candidate. It's just that the doll is still young, and he still does it, so he won't be too restrictive. Yes, he didn't insist anymore: "Remember to come back early for lunch." Also, you have to be literate at noon. ”

"Yes, got it. Shen Yun swept away the gloom and squinted with a smile, "What kind of food do you want to cook at noon today?" ”

What a doll, so coaxing. Old man Liu smiled and said: "I'm afraid the beans are going to be elders, pick more of them, and I'll teach you to dry vegetables today." ”

"Okay. ”
