Free Web Novel"Old Teacher, why are you here?" Li Mo asked, a little embarrassed.
The Old Teacher stared at Li Mo, leaned back slightly, and his face instantly darkened, looking as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
"What does that have to do with you? Go play somewhere else. Don't cause trouble here."
"What's wrong with this child?" Ying Xu Liang asked, puzzled. He only knew that Brother Li's child was naturally frail and might share the same illness as Ying Bing.
He hadn't expected the Old Teacher to react as if his fur had been ruffled upon seeing Li Mo.
The Old Teacher, puffing out his cheeks, began to recount Little Li Mo's 'glorious deeds' as if they were precious family heirlooms: ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"On his first day of school, he blew up the latrine with firecrackers."
Ying Xu Liang smiled upon hearing this, thinking the Old Teacher was overreacting:
"That, haha, he's just a little boy. Most boys have done things like that when they were young. I even blew up cow dung with Brother Li!"
"But this old man was inside at the time!" The Old Teacher gritted his teeth.
"..." Ying Xu Liang was silent for a moment before smiling again to comfort him:
"Children are mischievous. Only with the Old Teacher's guidance can they become Geniuses. Just teach him well."
"I thought the same thing at the time, but not long after, he and other classmates competed to see who could pee the furthest in this old man's garden. All the orchids I treasured for so long died."
The Old Teacher was heartbroken.
"Uh, didn't they say that organic fertilizer is good for plants and flowers...? And at the time, the latrine at the academy had collapsed...." Li Mo's voice grew softer and softer.
"Who blew up the latrine?" The Old Teacher's eyes widened.
Ying Mother, beside Ying Xu Liang, covered her mouth, a hint of a smile in her eyes.
Qinghe County wasn't big. She and her husband had also been students of the Old Teacher, and Li Dalong was their classmate.
"Teacher, relieving oneself anywhere isn't a big deal...."
"You ask him who he was peeing with!"
"??" Li Mo's small eyes were a little confused.
The things he did as a child were already so many years ago, and with the Awakening of the confusion from the womb, he was even more muddled.
"He brought a little girl with him and even taught her to pee standing up, competing with her to see who could pee the furthest!"
"..." Little Li fell into deep thought.
He had done something so amazing when he was little?
He only remembered the things that made the Old Teacher 'righteously indignant.'
Ying Mother's smile stiffened, and her gaze, looking over, was clearly much more cautious, almost as if she were looking at a little terrorist.
Ying Xu Liang laughed awkwardly:
"Unpolished jade cannot be made into a vessel. Unpolished jade cannot be made into a vessel....."
"The key is that this Little Devil Head can't learn the Dao of the Saint. Just like his father, he's not cut out for studying."
"'Man has his own principles' is what my father taught me...." Li Mo said, rubbing the back of his head.
"Anyway, Young Miss Ying Bing was already sick and couldn't be stimulated. I only dared to let Young Miss Ying Bing go to school when I saw that Little Devil Head wasn't in the private academy anymore."
The Old Teacher shook his head, the Life Qi in his eyes diminished a bit, and he sighed.
This little fellow was mischievous, but also very smart. It was a pity his mind wasn't on his studies.
Seeing that he couldn't see Ying Bing, Li Mo was a little anxious.
He who ties the bell must untie it.
This was a dream formed by Ying Bing's Yi Soul and memories. If he couldn't see the owner of the dream, how could he unravel it?
And time was very tight. He couldn't wait a few days in the dream and then come back next time.
The Disaster Beast would arrive at the Ying Family compound tonight.
However!
He was Little Li, the Genius!
Especially when it came to making old men happy, he had some authority.
"Old Teacher, a {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} prodigal son's return is worth more than gold. Actually, when I was in class, I still listened carefully."
"What did you listen to?" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"The Old Teacher once specially wrote a poem of encouragement for me."
Little Li Mo bowed respectfully, speaking as if it were a serious matter:
"It's just a pity that I was young and ignorant then and didn't grasp its profound meaning. Now that I think about it, I realize the Old Teacher's painstaking efforts."
"?" The Old Teacher stroked his beard, stunned.
When had he ever written a poem of encouragement?
For a scholar who valued his reputation, if he had written a masterpiece, no matter how senile he was, he would never forget it. Besides, with Little Li Mo in the academy, he was constantly on edge all day. Where would he find the time to write poetry?
But Li Mo had already picked up a nearby branch and began to write meticulously.
For him, who had suffered the 'beating' of compulsory education, many masterpieces came easily. Not only those in textbooks, but teachers had also taught many outside of class.
Among the famous pieces for students to learn, the eternal theme of 'encouragement to learn' was naturally indispensable.
Setting aside those that didn't fit the situation, he could still pick out one or two.
"Youth easily ages, learning is hard to achieve."
"An inch of time must not be taken lightly."
"Before the spring grass in the pond dreams are realized,"
"The Wutong leaves before the steps already sound of autumn."
Oh?
Ying Mother was also a woman from a scholarly family, with some accomplishments in poetry and prose. Upon seeing this poem, she looked thoughtful.
Many of the surrounding guests and Ying Family disciples, seeing this scene, gathered around, exclaiming in wonder.
"This is, I..." The Old Teacher's face flushed, somewhat flustered.
The poem was excellent, but it had nothing to do with him.
"This was originally a mischievous work by a student, and the Teacher helped polish it and returned it to me. You even said you wanted to frame it and hang it at the entrance of the academy to inspire other classmates."
Li Mo spoke at the opportune moment, providing the Old Teacher with a way out.
And he spoke very loudly, so the guests all heard him and showered the Old Teacher with compliments, saying they would send their own nephews and nieces to the academy in the future.
The rainbow flattery made the Old Teacher's face glow red. He let out a heavy breath, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart:
"This Little Devil... uh, Xiao Mo is indeed teachable. He's finally putting his mind to studying."
"Go back to the private academy after the New Year. You must keep it up!"
"Thank you, Old Teacher, for your teachings!" Li Mo bowed earnestly with his small hands.
Ying Xu Liang looked at the Old Teacher, who was beaming, and then took a deep look at Little Li.
"Ying Uncle, can I go see Ying Bing now? I promise I won't cause any trouble."
"Alright, my wife, you take Xiao Mo." Ying Xu Liang nodded slightly. Since his wife was also going to deliver food personally, he let her lead Li Mo, and they walked together through the Ying Family mansion.
The mansion was much larger and grander than he remembered, exuding elegance and uniqueness.
Compared to it, the Li Family's house was just an ordinary large rural compound.
Li Mo hadn't noticed it when he was little, but seeing it again now, he felt that this was definitely not the kind of grandeur a small county in the Eastern Wasteland Region could possess.
"What's been wrong with Ying Bing recently?"
"She's developed a strange illness." Ying Mother sighed, saying:
"She gets spells of extreme cold all over her body, and she doesn't want to interact with people. That's why we discussed letting her go to the private academy, to spend more time with peers...."
Halfway through her sentence, she wondered why she was telling so much to a child.
As they talked, the surroundings grew quiet. They had arrived at the side room of the separate courtyard.
The door was tightly shut, but it couldn't contain the coldness flowing out.
