Xiao Yu'er took Li Miaoxin's hand and looked at the old man in fear without saying a word, while Lin Xiaolu admitted with an arrogant look: "Yes, it's me!"
Facing the boy's scolding, the old man was not angry, but smiled kindly and said: "Your senior sister brought you here too early. It will take a while before other inner disciples under the age of ten will come. .”
After saying that, the old man pinched the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "Forget it, old man, let me check it out first. Did you two know how to read before entering Emei?"
"Aniang taught us how to write our own names." Xiao Yu'er said.
The old man nodded when he heard this: "Then the foundation of the two of you is still relatively poor. It doesn't matter. I will give you some make-up lessons later."
When Li Miaoxin heard this, she felt happy and quickly asked her brother and sister to say thank you.
The brother and sister thanked him, and the old man lay on the rocking chair and nodded a few times, then smiled and said: "The old man's surname is Yang, you can just call me Mr. Yang."
Xiao Yu'er heard this and shouted: "Hello, Mr. Yang, my name is Lin Xiaoyu."
Lin Xiaolu also nodded and said, "My name is Lin Xiaolu."
The old man smiled, and they seemed to know each other.
After a while, the voices of some children gradually came from behind, and Li Miaoxin knew that these were other disciples under the age of ten who came to study.
She knelt down and touched the heads of Lin Xiaolu and Xiao Yu'er: "Study hard in the literacy hall and listen to your teacher. Senior Sister Shen Shi will come to pick you up."
"No need to pick up, I remember the way." Lin Xiaolu said proudly: "My sister and I will go back by ourselves, no need to trouble senior sister."
Li Miaoxin smiled, pinched the boy's face fondly and said with a smile, "Do you really know the road?"
"Of course, that's alright, senior sister, you can go back."
Li Miaoxin smiled when she heard this, then stood up, hugged the old man in the rocking chair, and turned around to leave.
After Li Miaoxin left, Xiao Yu'er held Lin Xiaolu's hand tightly, and then looked at the other children walking over with her fingers.
There are boys and girls among these children. They are not very old. The oldest is only ten years old. The others are almost seven or eight years old like Lin Xiaolu. There are also some four or five years old like Xiao Yuer. All of them are wearing clothes. They wear navy blue robes and a small cloth bag for books. The clothes are exactly the same, except for the tattoos on the chest.
For example, Lin Xiaolu and Xiao Yuer, the two brothers and sisters have the word "Reaching for the Stars" embroidered on their chests.
The embroidered characters of these little Taoist boys are all kinds of dazzling, such as waning moon, yangshen, yaoyuan, talisman, etc., so that people can tell which branch they come from at a glance.
"Huh? Is there a new classmate in the literacy hall?" An eighty-nine-year-old boy curiously looked at the embroidered characters on the chests of the brothers and sisters, and asked in surprise: "Are you the new disciples of the Star Reaching lineage?"
"Wow~ It's you two." A group of Taoist boys gathered around in surprise, looking at Xiao Yu'er and Lin Xiaolu curiously.
Xiao Yu'er rarely saw so many strangers at one time, so she was so frightened that she hid behind Lin Xiaolu.
Lin Xiaolu frowned and wanted to tell these people to go away, but a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the crowd.
"Brother Nianyun, the teachers have already entered the room to teach. Let's go in first."
When Lin Xiaolu heard the voice, he thought it sounded familiar. When he looked through the crowd, he found that it was the fat little Dongfang Dan who pissed his pants yesterday because of him.
At this moment, Dongfang Dan, who was also wearing a navy blue robe, saw Lin Xiaolu looking at him, his fat face trembled with fear, and as if recalling his ruthlessness, he hurriedly ran back to the literacy hall.
The remaining Taoist boys looked at the little fat man running away and were puzzled.
"What's wrong with Dongfang Dan? Do you love studying so much?"
In the crowd, the little Taoist boy known as "Brother Nianyun" didn't look at Dongfang Dan. Instead, he looked at brother and sister Lin Xiaolu and asked loudly: "What are the names of you two newcomers?"
When the other little Taoist boys heard him speak, they all looked at the brother and sister again, casting curious glances.
Xiao Yu'er didn't speak, but quietly hid behind her brother, while Lin Xiaolu crouched down under the curious eyes of a group of Taoist boys.
He knelt down and looked around for a while, then looked up at a little Taoist boy and said, "Lift your feet."
"Oh." The little Taoist boy subconsciously raised his feet.
As he lifted his feet, Lin Xiaolu picked up the pebble at his feet that was just big enough to hold in his hand.
The ten-year-old "Brother Nianyun" and several other Taoist boys looked at Lin Xiaolu in confusion, wondering why he was picking up stones.
When Xiao Yu'er on the side saw her brother like this, she was no longer afraid instantly, and instead smiled cutely at these little Taoist boys.
With all the children watching, Lin Xiaolu picked up the stone and bumped it in his hand, then said with a very calm expression: "Give me a step, I'm going in with my sister."
As soon as these words came out, all the Taoist boys immediately felt dissatisfied. They felt that these two new guys were too arrogant and did not take them seriously.
"Hey, new guy, you haven't answered Brother Nianyun's question yet!" a Taoist boy said with his hands on his hips.
"That's right. If someone asks you something, it would be rude if you don't answer."
"It turns out that you and this little girl are brother and sister. We are seniors in the Literacy Hall. You have to obey our orders from now on. Tell me, what are your names?"
"Yes, we won't let you go unless you tell us."
The little Taoist boys around them urged the brother and sister one after another, while Lin Xiaolu looked at them calmly, and finally looked at the so-called "Brother Nianyun"
"Are you the boss here?" Lin Xiaolu asked, blinking his big eyes.
The ten-year-old Taoist boy crossed his arms and said proudly: "That's right."
Lin Xiaolu nodded honestly when he heard this: "Oh, that won't be the case from today on."
The Taoist boy was stunned for a moment, and the others were also stunned for a moment. They didn't know what the newcomer meant. But the next second, Lin Xiaolu suddenly raised his hand and smashed the pebble in his hand on "Brother Nian Yun"'s head. On the head!
"Ah!" With a scream, the ten-year-old Taoist fell to the ground, a bright red bursting from his forehead.
The surrounding Taoist boys were frightened by this scene and stepped back for a moment, while Lin Xiaolu continued to shake the blood-stained pebbles in his hands and slowly looked at them all.
"Now, do you still want to ask me and my sister's names?"
The Taoist boys were all trembling with fear, and they were too scared to speak. However, one of the eight or nine-year-old female Taoist boys looked unconvinced, pointed at Lin Xiaolu and threatened: "You, you hit people with stones. I’m going to tell sir.”
Lin Xiaolu smiled disdainfully when he heard this, and tilted his mouth in the direction of the literacy hall: "Go."
The female Taoist boy didn't seem to expect that Lin Xiaolu was so fearless. She was slightly startled at first, and then seemed to be angered by his arrogance. She stamped her feet angrily, turned around and ran towards the door of the literacy hall.
But before she could run very far, Lin Xiaolu suddenly picked up the pebbles in his hand and threw them with all his strength.
"Whoosh!"
"Boom!"
There was a crisp sound, and the female Taoist girl who was halfway there screamed, her little body fell to the ground, and then she opened her mouth and cried loudly while holding her bleeding head.
The clear cry was very loud, and finally led Mr. Yang out of the literacy hall who was preparing to teach.
"Sir, this newcomer is going to hit us with stones." As soon as they saw the old man coming out, the Taoist boys shouted and surrounded him as if they had found the backbone.
"Sir, after he beat Brother Nianyun, he also beat Chu Chu."
"Sir, look, Brother Nianyun and Chu Chu's heads have been broken."
"Yes, sir, you must punish these two newcomers well. They have gone too far."
