Chu Daya was eventually sent to Wang Xu's home by Jia Zhengjin to study with other peers.
After she was groomed, her dirty look disappeared. She put on clothes that Niu Shun couldn't wear when she was a child, and she became much more beautiful.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jia Zhengjin asked her not to say that she was a girl. Anyway, children in rural areas have darker skin, which is not as obvious as Miss Qianjin.
Wearing neat old clothes and combing her hair in a boyish style, it's hard for others to tell.
Furthermore, the fact that she was able to study with Wang Xu was the result of Jia Zhengjin's hard work, and he promised to give Wang Xu a bundle of firewood for free every day.
What if Wang Xu found out that Chu Daya was a girl and stopped teaching her and sent her back? Wouldn't it be impossible for Jia Zhengjin to settle down in the gambling situation?
The world is huge, and now the gambling game is the biggest.
Anyway, he only needs to solve the immediate problem. As for what will happen to Niu Shun and Chu Daya after the gambling, it is not within his scope to consider.
With the name Chu Daya, it is easy for people to know that she is a girl.
So Jia Zhengjin asked her to call herself Chu Ya, and she successfully stayed at Wang Xu's home and studied with other children in the village.
After returning, Niu Xi was already waiting in front of the door.
Seeing him coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How's it going? Can we continue going up the mountain?"
He looked around, looking for Chu Daya's whereabouts, and he must be worried.
Jia Zhengjin saw his worry and said, "Don't worry! The child has been sent to Wang Xu's home to study. We can go up the mountain as usual. We just need to store the treasures brought back before taking her home."
After hearing this, Niu Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good! Really, when such a person comes suddenly, I almost thought I couldn't hide it."
"I know it well and it won't affect our plan."
"But..." Niu Xi hesitated, "Shunzi, after we get all the treasures, don't we still have to try to make everyone accept the fact of development? We won't leave this child here, right? He is
I came to seek refuge with you."
"I have thought about it, there will be no problem."
"What should I do?"
"Think about it! It's just that the people in the village can't know about it for the time being. When we successfully transport all the treasures and then secretly transport them to the county or other places, this matter will be over." Jia Zhengjin explained, "I will definitely take this child with me.
Let's go and explain things clearly to him slowly later. We have plenty of time to teach her how to speak without revealing her secrets. She came to seek refuge with me, so of course she will be on my side, right?"
"That's true..." Niu Xi nodded, "But are you sure this child will not affect our plan? If the villagers know the truth in advance, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the maze."
"I know that greed is very troublesome. So before the treasure teleports and we leave the village, we have to hide this matter from her. After we leave, we will slowly teach her."
"So you arranged for your child to study at Wang Xu's place? Is it possible that you still want this child to take the academic exam?"
"That's okay, right?" Jia Zhengjin didn't tell Niu Xi that Chu Daya was a girl. "After all, she was entrusted to my father by Uncle Chu. Since my father is gone, this responsibility falls on my shoulders. We will be there soon."
If she is developed, it will not be difficult for her to study."
"It has nothing to do with you that your father is close to that child's father, right? You are too kind, and you are going to help him study and get fame... Forget it! After we get the treasure, we will all be prosperous. You like it
If you do this, then so be it! Maybe that kid can actually read a trick, and when he becomes the number one scholar, he will definitely appreciate your kindness and repay you."
It is impossible to become the number one scholar. After all, Chu Daya is a girl and has no chance in this world.
Jia Zhengjin didn't say anything clearly, but patted Niu Xi on the shoulder: "Don't worry about this, let's go up the mountain!"
"It has been prepared for a long time!" Niu Xi nodded immediately, "You can leave at any time."
"Hmm! I guess there will be people following me secretly today, but they will be more concealed than yesterday." Jia Zhengjin turned around and looked around, and soon found a few looming shadows, hiding quietly in the corner.
"It's so annoying! Are we unlucky? It shows these people following us, and then that kid appears again..."
"Be open-minded! It only takes two or three days to be followed. Today I'm just chopping firewood. There's plenty of time, so there's no need to rush."
"Okay, I still understand this." Niu Xi turned around, "Let's go!"
The two people set off immediately, took the donkey and donkey cart with them, and went back to the area where they usually cut wood.
There is no doubt that even if they were hidden, the villagers who were following behind and observing secretly were still discovered. That is to say, Jia Zhengjin did not take them seriously and ignored their existence.
The whole day is still boring and tiring work.
Chop wood, chop wood, chop wood...
The villagers who secretly followed and observed for two consecutive days found nothing unusual. They began to think that the god Niu Xi met might have gone away?
From the analysis of the actions of Niu Xi and Jia Zhengjin, there seems to be no trace of the monk.
It is impossible for villagers to put down their farm work every day and follow them. If there is no harvest for two consecutive days, many people will no longer follow.
Next, just get rid of the last few people and you can continue to the maze.
After a busy day, he returned to the village, delivered firewood, and finally headed to Wang Xu's home.
Chu Daya was very good and stayed in the yard as expected. She was squatting seriously and using branches to write the words she learned today on the sand.
Although the handwriting is ugly, at least it can be recognized at a glance.
Wang Xu stood behind her with a particularly satisfied expression. It was obvious that Chu Daya was talented in reading.
"Brother Shunzi!" When he looked up, he saw Jia Zhengjin coming in. Chu Daya got up excitedly and ran over excitedly, "Are you back?"
"Yes!" Jia Zhengjin nodded to her, then carried firewood into the yard, looked at Wang Xu and said, "Sir, today's firewood has been delivered!"
"Put it in the kitchen! My wife is over there." Scholars believe that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, so naturally Wang Xu would not care about these things.
"Okay!" Jia Zhengjin carried the firewood to the kitchen and piled it to the edge under the guidance of Wang Xu's wife.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
"It's not hard work!" Seeing Wang Xu's wife handing him a bowl of water, Jia Zhengjin hurriedly took it and thanked him, then drank it with a slurp.
"I never thought that you would exchange firewood for Shu Xiu and let the child who just came here to learn calligraphy." Wang Xu's wife said with emotion, "You are such a kind-hearted child! Everyone still thinks that you will let that child come with you."
Cutting wood!"
"How can she cut firewood at such a young age? She wouldn't be worried if she was left alone at home. She might as well study and learn calligraphy at Mr. Wang's place. Maybe she can be successful in the future." Jia Zhengjin said with a smile.
"That's true. The child is very well-behaved and seems to have a conscience. But are you okay? It was hard enough to be alone, but now you have another person to take care of, and you also have to study..."
"It's okay! Isn't it just a matter of chopping a few more bundles of firewood? Just go out early and come back later."
"Really, how come a child as honest and kind-hearted as you can't meet a god? But that kid Niu Xi has that kind of adventure! By the way, haven't you met that god again when you went up the mountain in the past two days?"
