When Lu Shen heard this question, he closed his eyes and said, "What do you think is the purpose of reading?" ”

"Of course it'....."

The young man first spoke without thinking, and then his expression suddenly froze, as if he was instantly confused.

It seems that reading can accomplish many things, such as being envied by neighbors, allowing parents to escape from poverty and allowing them to live the life they want.

But whatever the reason, it's not quite right at the moment.

"It's for the sake of reason. ”

Lu Shen suddenly spoke: "There are many things that can be done after reading, but those are the so-called cause and effect, such as a line from the beginning to the end, in fact, there is only one thing in reading, and that is reason." “

Erwa scratched her head, and suddenly remembered what Lu Shen said when they met for the first time, teaching people to read and write is reasonable, and it turns out that the last two words are the most important.

Lu Shen then asked, "How do you think you can read the book?"

Erwa scratched her head again and shook her head in confusion.

Lu Shen said with a smile: "Go to chop wood first, then do some chores, and when you think it's okay, you can continue to read." ”

"Got it. ”

Erwa said seriously: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely be reasonable, I will go up the mountain now to help chop wood, and then come back to cook." “

Lu Shen nodded slightly.

Looking at the back of the young man leaving, Lu Shen's face was calm.

In fact, he still has some words to say.

Questions about reason.

For example, the strange thing in this world is that many people nowadays have been reading books for many years, full of wealth, but in the end they still can't read the truth in the book, when the truth in the book is contrary to reality, they will not hesitate to abandon what they have obtained from decades of hard reading, turn around to believe what their own experience says, and criticize the things on paper

Or they read the truth, but they are not willing to follow the truth, and their own interests are the most important.

None of this really makes sense.

It's just that these are still a little too profound for a teenager in the remote north.

Half an hour has passed.

The second baby walked in with a bundle of firewood, and then she was busy outside the house, lighting a fire, boiling water, washing vegetables, and having a lot of fun.

Lu Shen looked at the young man's clean appearance and said, "Slow down." ”

Similar to a little slower, a little steady, this kind of words basically would never appear in Lu Shen's mouth, but at this moment he said it.

"Okay!" Erwa nodded, and then gradually slowed down.

Unconsciously, the boy subconsciously made the work in his hands a little more meticulous and better-looking.

At the same time, his expression became more and more focused, no longer just to complete some kind of task, but as if he was enjoying it.

Naturally, his movements became more and more skillful, and his face became more and more peaceful.

The cabbage in the pot is crystal clear.

The firewood in the firewood pile is very neat.

The water in the kettle was boiling, but it was just boiling at the spout.

Lu Shen glanced at it lightly, then closed his eyes again and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, there was a strange voice of yin and yang outside the door, his voice was muddy and hoarse, and he was probably an old man with a good foundation.

"Yo, such a small shop is also worthy of being a academy? With that guy's knowledge, he is not afraid of losing the face of the Confucian sages?"

"What qualifications do you have to teach and educate people, just the only remaining apprentice, what if you teach him badly?"

"When you are young and don't want to make progress, you think that after walking a few miles and meeting a few people, you will be considered a master?

The second baby walked out of the door and looked at the white-bearded and white-haired old man, and sighed: "Old master, don't you have trouble with my husband, okay?"

The old man showed a kind smile and said, "Little doll, don't waste your time here, that guy is a big straw bag who deceives the world and steals his name, or you come to my private school to study, if you are shy, I will try to subsidize a few points for you, it's better than being called by that guy here!"

Erwa shook her head and said very firmly: "No need, old master, I'm fine here, but don't disturb my study here, otherwise I'll really splash you with water." ”

When the old master heard this, his face changed instantly, and he scolded sharply: "I don't know what to do, I really was taught badly by that big straw bag! What kind of gentleman has what kind of student, I think you will be a useless person in the future!"

Erwa's face was indifferent, and he didn't react at all, he had heard too many such words over the years, and just silently picked up the vegetable washing water.

Seeing this scene, the old master hurriedly took a few steps back, and then continued to point at Sang and scold Huai on the street.

The second baby had no choice but to turn around and walk into the house.

Seeing Lu Shen, he said with some grievances: "Sir..... The old master is here again. “

The old master is the gentleman of the private school in the town, and he is quite respected in the town on weekdays, but in recent years, I don't know why he suddenly can't get along with this humble shop, and he basically comes to yin and yang every few days.

The two babies are a little confused, obviously there is nothing in the way of the academy here?

Lu Shen's face was indifferent, and he gently fanned the fan.

Naturally, he had heard those words a long time ago, but there was no reaction in his heart.

Anyway, the meaning of the words is probably that he is immoral and incompetent, has no qualifications to teach students well, and misleads people's children, maybe the Confucian sages will be so angry that they will jump out of the grave.

Lu Shen thought about it carefully, and thought that what the old man said was actually very right.

Because he can't teach people to read, he can only teach people to use swords, or the kind that kills.

As for the Confucian sages or something.... What's your surname?

Lu Shen began: "Don't pay attention to him." ”

The second baby wanted to speak and stopped.

Lu Shen said: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

Erwa sighed and said: "That old master has been going on like this all year round, and he has been saying everywhere that Mr. is misleading people's children, and I have a few playmates who also wanted to come in the past two years, but their parents didn't come when they heard the old master's words." ”

When Lu Shen heard this, he thought to himself that he really wanted to thank the old master.

The second baby was silent for a while, and then said: "The old master told my mother to let me go to a regular private school, and the tuition fee can be halved, and my mother is a little moved." ”

Lu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that this was not very good.

"Come again, old master, tell me. Lu Shen said.

The second baby was stunned for a moment, and said uncertainly: "What are you going to do?"

Lu Shen said calmly: "I can't teach, but I can beat people." ”

When the second baby heard this, she was stunned, and then laughed again.

Because he thought what Mr. said was really funny, just that it was his witty taste.

After dinner, Erwa took care of everything in the shop, and then packed up her things and left the shop.

Lu Shen felt the afterglow of the sunset outside the shop and closed his eyes slightly.

His breathing was slow and his expression was calm, but it didn't look like he was sleeping, but it was a bit like he was in some kind of retreat.

But the problem is that he doesn't have any cultivation at the moment, so what is he doing?
