"He stole things?" He Yidao was a little surprised.
If Zhong Wu steals things for food and clothing, it is indeed not the behavior of a gentleman.
However, if Zhong Wu could even steal things, why didn't he accept the money when his parents gave him money?
"I don't know either." Lao Qin frowned and thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, "That's what I guessed."
"Many people have asked him what he eats and drinks when he doesn't take money. He always hesitates and says he knows how to hunt, but I don't believe it. After all, it's better for a thin and down-and-out scholar like him to go hunting.
Going to steal something."
He Yidao thought about it and felt that what Lao Qin said was not unreasonable.
"Just a guess?"
Lao Qin nodded, "It's just a guess."
"Does this mean that no one in the town or you have ever caught him stealing anything?"
Lao Qin said: "That's it."
"Is there ever an inexplicable shortage of things in the town?"
"That's for sure. Let's not talk about whether Zhong Wu can really steal things. Even if he really knows how to hunt and has never stolen anything, it doesn't mean that there are no other thieves in the town. As long as there are other thieves in the town
Thief, there will be more or less something missing in the town."
He Yidao nodded, "That's right."
"Then do you know where he usually teaches his children?" He Yidao asked.
There was a touch of sarcasm on Lao Qin's lips, "He said he was a teacher, but he doesn't even have a real teaching place."
He Yidao was silent for a while. After hearing what Lao Qin said, he knew that Lao Qin probably didn't know where Zhong Wu was either.
"Are you looking for him?" Lao Qin asked.
He Yidao hesitated for a while and said, "I want to take a look."
"Are you going to ask him for drink money?"
At this time, the landlady who had been silent until now suddenly spoke.
"If you are asking for money for drinks, I advise you not to go to him. After all, he still owes me a lot of money for drinks and has not paid off yet."
He Yidao didn't expect that the lady boss, who had always been taciturn, would say so much today, "Of course not, I invited him to drink that wine, so there's no point in asking for it. I just wanted to see how he teaches."
of."
"Go and have a look at the small river south of the town."
He Yidao glanced at the proprietress who was wiping the counter with a rag in one hand, just said "Thank you." and left the tavern.
The town was relatively prosperous, so He Yidao wandered around the town for a while until he reached the south of the town, but he didn't buy anything in his hand.
The items in the town were quite complete, and there were some things that He Yidao had never seen or heard of before. However, He Yidao just looked at them, thinking that he had gained some knowledge, and did not spend any money to buy them.
After wandering for a long time, I probably visited all the neighborhoods from the inn to the south of the town.
But He Yidao just took a look.
"Where's Hu'er? Are you going to study with that gentleman again?" At this time, a vendor buying sesame seed cakes nearby asked the woman next to him.
"Yes, I ran away early in the morning. I didn't even have time to have breakfast, so I ran away in a panic."
"Didn't you have breakfast?" Upon hearing this, the vendor became a little anxious, "Why don't you let him bring a sesame seed pancake?"
The mother-in-law rolled her eyes at him, "Of course I brought it to him. I brought two sesame cakes, and I just happened to give one to that gentleman. Besides, can I let my son go hungry?"
The vendor felt much relieved after hearing this, "Yes, you are not a careless woman."
He Yidao listened to the conversation between the hawker and his wife and thought that the husband mentioned by the hawker and his wife was Zhong Wu. So he decided to go forward and inquire:
"Brother, I just heard you and your wife talking about a gentleman. I wonder what the name of the gentleman you are talking about is?"
When the hawker couple saw that He Yidao was a stranger and was inquiring about their child's husband, they looked at He Yidao warily and asked, "You want to find him? Why are you looking for him?"
He Yidao smiled and said: "I am his friend, and I just came to see him this time."
"Friends of sir?" The hawker and his wife let down some of their vigilance, but not entirely. They looked at He Yidao carefully and saw that He Yidao didn't look like a bad person in his dress, and then said: "I
I've never heard of Mr. having any friends."
"Is his surname Zhong and Zhong Wu?" He Yidao asked.
Hearing what He Yidao said, the hawker and his wife immediately dropped their guard and greeted each other with smiles, "It turns out that the young master is really your friend. I thought the young master was here to cause trouble for Mr. Zhong."
He Yidao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the hawker and his wife were willing to help Zhong Wuzhi and avoid trouble.
"Is your child a student of Mr. Zhong?"
The hawker couple nodded quickly and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Mr. Zhong is really a good gentleman."
The hawker couple couldn't think of any good words to describe Zhong Wu, so they could only keep saying that Mr. Zhong was a very good gentleman.
"Why do you think Zhong Wu is a good gentleman? What is so good about him that you admire him so much?" He Yidao asked the question in his heart.
The hawker was a little strange, "Isn't the young master a friend of Mr. Zhong? Doesn't the young master know Mr. Zhong?"
He Yidao immediately said: "I never thought that he would be a gentleman here, so I still don't know about him being a gentleman."
The hawker and his wife looked stunned, and then said: "Even though Mr. Zhong is young, he has taught my Hu'er a lot of words!"
"Ever since Mr. Zhong became Hu'er's husband, Hu'er has been a lot more obedient. He should know how to feel sorry for us. Sometimes when I am tired, he will give me a squeeze on my shoulders. When his mother is tired, she will also
Wash his mother's feet!
In the past, I saved up money to send Hu'er to study with an old gentleman in the town, but after a few classes, Hu'er didn't want to go. She would rather buy sesame seeds for me than go to class. But every time I wanted to go
When Mr. Zhong was in class, Huer was as happy as eating meat every day."
As they talked, the hawker and his wife also had a happy smile on their lips.
"Although Hu'er learns things much slower than the other children in the school, he still likes to study with his teacher, right?"
"Besides, Mr. Zhong doesn't charge tuition fees, but I feel that my little tiger really understands a lot of knowledge that scholars have."
"Perhaps one day, my Hu'er can become a world-famous gentleman in the academy!"
He Yidao nodded and smiled. In this world, what people desire most is to seek immortality and enlightenment, so joining the immortal sect is a great thing for mortals.
But most people in this world do not have the opportunity to worship the Immortal Sect, because the Immortal Sect is rare and focuses on immortality. In this way, if ordinary people want to worship the Immortal Sect, it is a dream.
But academies are different. They are spread across five continents, have the largest number of disciples, and are also the most accessible way for mortals to attain enlightenment.
As long as you study from a young age, those with extraordinary talents will have the opportunity to become academy disciples. This is why there are some private schools in every town.
Although there are many private schools, not many people actually go to private schools.
Just like, not everyone in this town is literate.
He Yidao asked the hawker and his wife about where Zhong Wu taught.
But the hawker and his wife shook their heads to express that they didn't know.
He Yidao felt helpless for a moment and couldn't help but cursed: You don't know where Zhong Wu is teaching the child, so you can safely hand the child over to him? Is the child really your biological child?
He Yidao planned to visit the river south of the town that the landlady mentioned, so he said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, the hawker and his wife forced three sesame seed cakes into his arms. He Yidao resisted many times and could not refuse.
He Yidao had no choice but to accept it.
Looking at He Yifen's slowly disappearing figure, the hawker and his wife finally came back to their senses, but suddenly found a few coins placed on the burden.
"Perhaps this young man is really a friend of Mr. Zhong." The vendor picked up the few coins. Compared to the three sesame seed cakes, the money was only a lot more.
"Do you think Mr. Zhong is really a gentleman?" the woman standing next to him suddenly asked.
"Maybe, at least...Mr. Zhong's friend is not a bad person...but rather a gentleman...Didn't my son say, 'Birds of a feather flock together,' so Mr. Zhong..."
The hawker suddenly came to his senses, "You're a woman, why do you care so much? Hurry up and sell out the sesame seed cakes and go home to cook for your son!"
"Do you want to sleep outside the door today?"
"Hey, mother-in-law, if you have something to say, please tell me..."
