So when Mr. Xue stepped out of the wooden door of Shen's courtyard, he was holding a jar of cherry wine with a confused expression.
When did drinking alcohol cure his congenital deficiencies?
In the courtyard, Mr. Xu, who was preparing herbal medicine carelessly, finally became impatient under the gazes of the two men:
"What are you looking at? Aren't you helping you to cover up your lies?"
"Ahem, um... Master, when did you notice it?"
She obviously just soaked the fruit in the clear spring water for a while, but she felt the difference?
"Hmph, don't underestimate me. My reputation as a miracle doctor is not for nothing."
"Yes, yes, you are the most powerful."
Cheng Xi glanced at Shen Xingluo and smiled at Mr. Xu, "But master, if you told Mr. Xue that it was fruit wine soaked in medicinal materials, wouldn't you have ruined your brand?"
"If you don't learn well, you will be ruining my reputation!"
"..." How dare you not maintain your own brand and need an apprentice?
Cheng Xi stood up expressionlessly, grabbed a corner of Shen Xingluo's sleeve and left, leaving the old man alone to pick a few grasses.
"What's that look in your eyes? And you and you, doting on her like this? Where are you going... An unfilial person is an unfilial person!"
The opening of a school in the village was a big event, and there was a lot of excitement for several days from the day it started.
As Chen Xingluo said, in addition to a dozen children, many people came to listen to the class, and even several elders, including Uncle Mantun, listened with great interest.
Facing the attention of so many people, Xue Xiuwen spoke calmly, without feeling nervous at all.
Even though the course was just about word recognition, he taught it vividly and interestingly, giving many examples just to learn a word.
"Do all the teachers in your college teach classes like this? They are very creative!"
Did it say that ancient masters preferred to let students memorize by rote?
"No, this is just Brother Xue's style."
"Mr. Xue is really a great talent."
Originally she thought that Mr. Du only hired him because of his outstanding literary talent, but now... maybe Huaishan Academy took advantage?
After Cheng Xi sighed, he saw Shen Mantun walking out with a proud look on his face, hands behind his back.
"Uncle, did you go to the class just now?"
"Listen, listen, what this gentleman said is really good, a bunch of big gentlemen can understand it."
"So these uncles and uncles are all attracted by Mr. Xue?"
"Then you guessed wrong. They came on the first day."
"ah?"
"Niece-in-law, you don't know that since the snow disaster, every household has a small amount of savings. Once the family's money and land are too much, they will be wiped out."
Shen Mantun was very interested, "Your third uncle stared at his fifty-tael banknote for a long time, but he didn't recognize a single word. He got anxious!"
Chen Xingluo and Cheng Xi: "..."
In order to recognize the banknote, I also worked hard.
"Brother Shen, Brother Shen! So you are here."
"I've found it, I've found it. I've found the person."
Several shouts came from the road behind them. The three of them turned around and saw four or five scholars coming towards them, panting.
"Shen, Brother Shen, we come to play with you."
"By the way, take a look at Brother Xue. I heard he is here, right?"
When all five people arrived, they saw two people standing beside Chen Xingluo, and then they touched their clothes and clasped their hands together slightly to say hello.
Cheng Xi glanced at Shen Xingluo, "Are you going to entertain guests at noon?" '
"Brother Shen, I heard that you often go hunting in the mountains. Is it true?"
"Yes, yes, it is said that everyone in your Shen Village is a master. We are all curious!"
"Brother Wang, you are obviously interested in Shennong Mountain, right?"
"It sounds like you are not interested. Who is shouting on the road to go into the mountains?"
...
Before Shen Xingluo said a word, they themselves started arguing, and they could only turn their heads and give Cheng Xi a look.
'No need to prepare. '
Since the opening of the school, the wooden house that was also expanded next to it has been turned into a small canteen, and it is next to the Shen's ancestral hall, so three meals a day are eaten with the patrol team, and several women in the village serve the dishes.
The food here is also excellent, but Mr. Xu 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. Going into the mountains is a very dangerous thing."
"Listen to Brother Shen and don't cause trouble to others."
The five people all looked this way. Shen Xingluo stood in the middle, his eyes scanning across the group of people, which inexplicably gave people an unprecedented pressure.
Shen Mantun, who was standing on one side and watching, sighed inwardly at this scene.
He is obviously the youngest among them, but his aura is unparalleled. The other people vaguely respect him, but they just take it for granted.
His Shen family is expected to prosper!
"You want to take them into the mountains?"
Cheng Xi saw the five thin scholars celebrating self-consciously, with black streaks all over their heads, "Although I believe in your strength, wouldn't the five belts and one belt be a bit exaggerated?"
There is nothing peaceful in Shennong Mountain, and patrols often travel together.
What if a fierce one comes out, and those people have legs and can run around, and if they get injured in a panic, won't it affect the subsequent exams?
"The patrol hasn't gone up the mountain yet today, so we can go together. Also...if my wife can help me, I would be very grateful."
"..."
Cheng Xi rolled his eyes, "Aren't you afraid that I will scare your classmates?"
Chen Xingluo glanced at them and said, "If they can't bear this shock, how will they deal with the country's problems in the future?"
"You mean I gave them a scare?"
"...No, it's a surprise."
"Hmph, that's pretty much it."
Cheng Xi turned around and said, "I'll go home and change my clothes. I'll see you down the mountain later."
Chen Xingluo felt that his wife's temper was becoming more and more like Mr. Xu's, 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 wearing simple women's clothing, but they were relieved when they thought that she was the daughter of an escort.
Brother Shen's wife knows martial arts. Seeing as he doesn't object, she should be very powerful...right?
"Okay, everyone is here, let's go!"
Lian Hu was in charge of patrol today, with six strong villagers, plus two from the Shen family and five classmates, the team was very strong.
Today's Shennong Mountain is lush and green, the leaves have long since turned from the original light green to dark green, and there are overgrown weeds at the feet, mixed with many types of herbs.
Everyone walked forward one step at a time, and met a few hares running happily on the road. After half an hour, Lian Hu saw that the five of them were panting from exhaustion and announced a break.
"Where are we? Have we climbed over a mountain?"
"That's just the smallest mountain in Shennong Mountain, and that mountain can't be considered a mountain. There's not even a rabbit on it."
"..." So after all the hard work, you're exhausted and out of breath, and the real thing hasn't started yet, right?
Several people rubbed their slightly sore ankles and suddenly felt uncomfortable.
