Qingshan nodded again and again, "I didn't expect this little guy to be quite careful, he must have done this to remind people passing by here, well, that's good." ”

Thinking of this, Qingshan couldn't help but become interested in the boy again, so he followed him again, and followed him around the woods for a long time before he saw a small village.

The village is not big, there are about 30 families, and many adults greet him with a smile when they see the young man coming back with a sack on his back: "Little Acan, you went hunting again?

Whenever someone asked, Ah Can would always laugh and scratch his head, and then continue on his way.

"Ah Can, my father is going to take me to the city, do you want to go with me?" asked a white and chubby little fat man.

Ah Can shook his head and said, "No, you go, I don't worry that Xiaoru is at home alone." ”

"What does it matter? ”

"I still don't want it, next time. ”

The little fat man nodded a little disappointed, "Okay then, do you need to buy anything?"

"No need, I'm not short of things. ”

Qingshan thought to himself: "It turns out that this young man's name is Ah Can, and he also has a younger sister named Xiaoru." ”

Ah Chan didn't stay long, and went home directly after saying goodbye to the little fat man.

After a short time, Aoyama followed him to a place in the far corner of the village, where there was only a single hut, outside which lay a small black dog, and a girl younger than Ah Chan lay on the side of the fire, holding a hollow bamboo tube in her hand, and blowing air into the stove with her mouth from time to time.

"Sister, I'm back. ”

"Brother!" the little girl heard her brother's voice, threw down the bamboo tube and ran to her brother excitedly, "You, what kind of meat did you bring back this time?" Her face was covered with black charcoal, and her clothes and pants were full of patches that had been mended and mended.

Ah Can threw the sack to the ground and said with a smile: "Haha, this time I was lucky, I hit a wild boar, which is enough for the two of us to eat for a long time." ”

The little girl hurriedly untied the sack, and when she saw that it was full of meat, she immediately cried out happily, "Great, we can eat half of the meat in it ourselves, and the rest can be exchanged for food." ”

"Well, then you keep the meat we need, and I'll change the rest when I take a shower. ”

"Okay. ”

Ah Chan laughed again and ran to the barrel, took off his clothes after three strokes and five divisions, leaving only a pair of leggings with a few holes in the back of his buttocks, and then lifted the barrel and poured it on his body, and the water washed him from head to toe.

Aoyama glanced at him and went to see his sister, the little girl was not at all afraid of the blood stains and fishy smell on the wild boar, and while humming a little song happily, she quickly put away the wild boar.

Qingshan couldn't help but think again: Although this family is poor, there are two children like this, and their parents should be very pleased.

When Ah Can came back after taking a shower and changing clothes, the little girl had already picked the meat, Ah Can took a look at it and tied the sack again, put it on his shoulder and shouted, "I'll go change food first, and I'll be back in a while." ”

"Okay, come back early, it's almost time to eat." ”

"Well, I'll be back soon. ”

Qingshan glanced at the little girl again, and found that she had run over to blow on the stove again, so he turned around and followed Ah Can, who soon came to the door of a relatively large family in the village, "Village Chief, are you there?"

The door was opened by a woman in her early thirties, the woman was fat, and her eyes lit up when she saw the sack on Ah Can's back, "It turned out to be little Ah Can, how much rice are you going to change this time?"

"Aunt Huang," Ah Chan shouted, putting the sack on his back on the ground, "I'm going to change them all." ”

"Oh, what kind of meat is it this time?"

"Wild boar, fresh, freshly beaten in the morning. ”

Aunt Huang laughed when she heard this, and her two fat cheeks trembled, "Okay, our children haven't eaten wild boar for a long time, come, you come in with Aunt Huang, and by the way, help me bring the sack in." ”

"Okay. ”

Ah Can picked up the sack again, followed Aunt Huang into the courtyard, and came out after about half an hour, Qingshan looked at a white millet bag behind him, which was only about ten catties, and couldn't help frowning.

Ah Can's half of the wild boar meat is thirty catties at least, but it can only be exchanged for about ten catties of rice, which was obviously deceived by the Aunt Huang just now, Qingshan couldn't wait to rush in to help Ah Chan breathe a sigh of relief.

But after thinking about it, I couldn't help it, firstly, people come to you and me, and secondly, it is also a matter between mortals, I am already a monk, how can I meddle in the affairs of mortals?

Alas, forget it, let's just treat it as if you didn't see it.

Not long after, Ah Chan returned home, carried the rice into the house, poured the rice into the rice jar and went out to help his sister cook together.

After eating, Ah Chan went to chop wood with a firewood knife, and his sister went to the river to wash clothes with her clothes, Qingshan stayed with them all the time, he thought about the matter of accepting disciples, and thought that if these two children could cultivate, it would be good to accept them as disciples, so he simply flowed down.

That night, while their brother and sister were sleeping, Qingshan sneaked into their room, and used the detection stone given by his uncle to probe the two brothers and sisters a little, and found that both of them actually had the potential to cultivate, although he was not sure what their talents were, but in this way, he was even more determined to accept the two of them as apprentices.

He even wanted to jump out and say to the two siblings, "You will worship me as a teacher in the future and follow me to practice." ”

But when they think of such a sudden appearance, will their brother and sister trust themselves, will they think of themselves as human traffickers to trick their children? If that's the case, then it's really not good, no, I have to find a way.

For several days, Qingshan couldn't think of a good way, and when he was worried about this matter, he suddenly found that the young people in the village were basically illiterate, and they couldn't know a few who could read.

So, he simply pretended to be a scholar who had been robbed on the road, and ran to this village in a panic.

Most of the people in the village were simple, and after seeing that he was robbed and almost lost his life, he took in Qingshan after some discussion.

In order to thank the people in the village, Aoyama told the village chief that during the period when he was recuperating from his injuries, he could teach the village children to learn literacy for free.

The village chief was naturally very pleased, and was busy making the people in the village busy, and two days later he made a simple pavilion at the end of the village, and since then, Qingshan has become the only teacher in the village.

The children in the village either voluntarily or under the persecution of their parents, in short, all went to Qingshan's pavilion to learn calligraphy, and even Ah Chan and his sister Xiaoru came to class from time to time, and then Qingshan knew that Ah Can was twelve years old this year, and Xiaoru was eight years old this year.

A year ago, their father was accidentally bitten by a prey in a hunting intestine and died, since then the two have depended on each other, although the life is hard, but first, Ah Can can hunt, and secondly, most of the people in the village are simple, but they also helped their brothers and sisters a lot.

As for who their mother was, no one in the village knew because when Ah Chan's father brought their siblings here a few years ago, their mother was gone.

Ah Chan usually doesn't talk much, but Xiaoru is more clever and eccentric, always pestering Qingshan to ask questions, Qingshan originally intended to take their brother and sister as apprentices, and seeing her blinking big eyes is really cute, so basically all questions must be answered, and as long as he knows, he will explain very clearly.

Ah Chan still goes out hunting every half a month, and every time he comes back, he can bring a lot of harvest.

After the two got acquainted with Qingshan, Xiaoru would always cook a bowl of meat for Qingshan from time to time, and Qingshan was even more satisfied when she saw her so well-behaved.

Once, Qingshan suddenly asked, "Xiaoru, can I teach you how to play the flute?"

Xiao Ru nodded again and again, so excited that her face turned red.

Aoyama rubbed her head amusedly, "Okay, after I finish class every morning, if you are okay in the afternoon, come to me, and I will teach you." ”

Xiaoru excitedly agreed, but suddenly became embarrassed, "But I don't have a flute." ”

Hearing this, Qingshan couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Don't worry, the teacher will help you get a flute, and you will have a flute to learn when you come over tomorrow afternoon." ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

"Great, I'll be able to play the flute in the future!"

Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, Qingshan has basically become familiar with the people in the village, and everyone doesn't care why he is injured and still hasn't healed, anyway, he can stay and teach the children to read and write, and the village doesn't need to bear any expenses except for providing him with three meals, so he is naturally happy.

Qingshan was also completely integrated into the life here, and if it weren't for the fact that Qiqi would always fly to him every night, he would have forgotten that he was a monk.

It was fine at first, but after a while, Qiqi would always complain every time he came to him, "Qingshan, how long are you going to stay here?"

Aoyama would always say perfunctorily: "Wait, wait, when I get acquainted with them a little more, I can take them as apprentices, and then I can leave here." ”

"You say wait every day, when do you have to wait?"

"Uh, wait, wait. ”

"No, you have to tell me what time I'm going to wait until today, do you know that it's boring for me to fly around alone every day. ”

What kind of person? You're just a bird, aren't you? Isn't that what a bird is supposed to be flying around? But Aoyama just dared to think about it in his heart, "Isn't this how we are together every night?"

"But every night if you don't talk a few words, you'll have to meditate and practice again. ”

Qingshan saw its aggrieved appearance, and his heart softened, "Okay, I won't meditate tonight, I will chat with my Qiqi, do you say it's okay?"

"Phew, who's your Qiqi?"

"Hehe, then I'll be your Qingshan, so it's okay. ”

Qiqi tilted his neck and thought about it, as if he felt that he would not suffer a loss in this way, so he replied confidently: "Well, that's pretty much it, forget it, you cultivate, lest your cultivation not improve when you get it, and you will be scolded again after you go back." ”

"Then what's the matter, but I said that I would have a good chat with you tonight, how can I not talk without talking?"
