Tang Shiyue stood up hastily: "A Jing?"

"Yes," Qi Jing's voice came from afar: "It's me, don't be afraid."

Two lynxes had already leapt over and were circling around her, sniffing her.

Behind them, Qi Jing hurried over with a little old man.

The little old man was not tall, with unkempt gray hair and a beard, and his clothes were full of threads and belts that rattled everywhere. At first glance, he looked even more of a beggar than a beggar.

Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Is this the animal training master?"

The old man laughed and said, "My name is Mao Dahu!"

"Master, you are polite." Tang Shiyue saw that the two lynx seemed to have confirmed her identity and began to rub her legs, so she asked: "Do they know me?"

"Of course!" Mao Dahu said proudly, "Do you think I took your clothes for nothing?"

She asked, “Can I touch it?”

...

...

"Of course!" Mao Dahu waved his hand, "You are their master! Touch them as you like!"

Having said that, he still looked at her as if he was laughing at her, thinking that she would definitely not dare to touch him.

Unexpectedly, Tang Shiyue squatted down directly, hugged the lynx in his arms, and then touched it up and down, looking quite happy.

Mao Dahu was surprised and said, "You are quite courageous, young lady."

"What are you afraid of!" Tang Shiyue said with a smile: "You are very reliable at first glance. If you say you can touch the beast you trained, you can definitely touch it."

Mao Dahu's beard immediately stood up: "You are a good kid!"

Tang Shiyue continued with a smile: "Besides, A Jing is here. He will save me if anything happens."

Qi Jing also raised the corner of his mouth.

But although she was smiling, there was still sadness in her eyes, and her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had been crying. He slowly stopped smiling and just looked at her quietly.

When he came over just now and saw her for the first time, he had a very strange feeling...as if he was suddenly very far away from her.

It made him inexplicably frightened.

Tang Shiyue rubbed, hugged, and kneaded the two lynxes to her heart's content. She felt that it was no different from petting cats, and it seemed that all cats liked to be petted. Anyway, as she petted them, she felt that the master-servant relationship with the two lynxes was rapidly heating up.

Then she suddenly thought: "Hey? You gave me the sword light and sword shadow? You don't want them anymore?"

"Yes," Qi Xiaolang said, "I only listen to you."

Tang Shiyue expressed doubt: "Don't you want to listen to Master Mao?"

"Don't call me Master!" Mao Dahu said, "Call me Dahu! The tiger is the king of beasts!"

Then he explained to her: "We are different. You are the master of the lynx cats, but I am their companion. In their minds, I am also a lynx cat."

He stroked his scraggly beard proudly: "The secret of my hunting is that I am what I train!"

Okay, as long as you are happy.

Tang Shiyue asked him for some details, and then Mao Dahu gave her a jade whistle.

Lynx are not like dogs that stay at home basking in the sun all day long. They may jump into the mountains to hunt at any time, so this whistle can be used to detect them from a long distance.

Then Qi Jing killed two rabbits and went home together.

Mrs. Wang had probably just woken up and was coming out of the kitchen with a tray in her hand. When she saw her come back, she was frightened.

Tang Shiyue sat on the door platform and shouted directly: "Sword light! Sword shadow!"

Before Wang could come to her senses, she saw two animal shadows rushing in. Wang screamed and stepped back in fear. The tray in her hand fell to the ground, and the bowls and plates broke into pieces.

Tang Shiyue stroked the lynx's head leisurely, then pointed at Wang and said to them, "From now on, you should guard the door tightly. Do you see this person? If she dares to go out, you should bite her to death."

A lynx stood up as if it understood human language and sniffed towards Wang.

Wang's eyes widened and she screamed in disbelief. Her legs went limp and she sat on the ground, her urine quickly soaking her skirt.

Tang Shiyue sneered and continued, "I'll take you to meet the acquaintances later. Anyone who dares to enter the door except the acquaintances will be bitten to death. Do you hear me?"

The lynx roared in its throat, as if in response.

In fact, they had just met and had not yet developed a tacit understanding, so at this moment they mainly relied on gestures.

But in Wang's eyes, this was obviously beyond common sense. She was so scared that she was trembling and dared not say a word.

Then Tang Shiyue threw out a rabbit and pointed: "Dao Guang! Jian Ying, go eat it!"

The two lynxes immediately pounced on and started biting, and blood splattered all over the ground.

In fact, the lynx can hunt on its own or help its owner hunt. It originally wanted to eat the rabbit itself, but it was just right to use it to scare Wang.

Seeing that the rabbit was finished, Wang was so scared that her whole body was shaking like a sieve. Tang Shiyue looked at her, smiled contemptuously, and said while holding the rabbit: "Swords and sabers! Let's go, I'll take you to visit my relatives!"

The two beasts obeyed the order and followed quickly, and then Tang Shiyue took them to the next door.

The scholars were all scared. Tang Shiyue showed off for a while and then said with a smile: "Go and have fun by yourself! When you come back, wash your fur." ​​He made a gesture of washing his face.

The lynx roared and then rushed out with a whoosh. Xu Wenqu and the others followed it out to see, marveling at it. It looked like it wanted to recite a poem or something.

Tang Shiyue laughed and went to Xu's kitchen to take care of the rabbit.

After a while, Xiao Qiyang came in quietly, lay on her back, and put his arms around her neck: "Sister, don't be sad."

Tang Shiyue's heart softened, and she turned around and hugged him: "Thank you, little Ayang, I'm not sad now. I have Ayang, Ajing, everyone, and the sword light and sword shadow. I am invincible in the world!"

"Yeah." Little Qi Yang hugged her, his little body was soft, and his big black eyes looked at her: "Sister, you are invincible."

Xu Wenqu glanced at him from a distance.

These four disciples each have their own characteristics.

For example, Tang Shirong was extremely intelligent and hardworking, but a little indecisive.

Tang Junchen is smart and quick, but he likes to play around and is unstable.

As for Xiao Yaoer, she is the kind of person who is extremely obedient and submissive. No matter what you ask her to do, no matter how difficult or time-consuming it is, she will do it all with determination. She is the least troublesome to teach.

But Qi Yang is different from ordinary people.

Qi Yang is extremely intelligent and has a good academic record.

But he is not teachable.

It’s not that he doesn’t listen, but most of the time, he seems to be unable to feel his presence.

For example, when he usually lectured to Tang Shirong and the other two, Qi Yang never listened, because he had no idea whether he could do it or not. When he asked him to do something, he would not listen, but just did it in a methodical manner according to his own ideas.

Moreover, if he is practicing calligraphy or reading, he seems to be completely unable to hear when you call Yang'er. Even if you force him to listen, he acts as if he didn't hear it. He just waits for him to finish and then continues to do the unfinished work.

So he couldn't take the initiative to explain it to him and could only let him learn it by himself.

And this doesn't seem to be a problem of temperament, but rather... it's hard to tell what the problem is.

But he treats Tang Shiyue differently.

He seemed to be completely unable to see others, and could not feel other people's joys, sorrows, anger or happiness, but he could only feel Tang Shiyue's.

why is that?

Xu Wenqu frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

Qi Jing noticed his look, walked over and asked, "Mr. Xu?"

Xu Wenqu calmed himself down and saw that Tang Shiyue had finished talking to Qi Yang and asked him to go back to the study, so he motioned Qi Jing to go over and talk to the two of them.

Qi Jing drooped his eyelashes slightly.

When Tang Shiyue said he wanted to be his disciple, he actually didn't care, because Qi Yang was already very good at learning. It was not until this moment that he felt Xu Wenqu's sincerity as a teacher.

Qi Jing felt a little guilty, looked over there, bowed, and whispered: "Mr. Xu, don't worry too much, Ayang is a little weird, just let him learn by himself."

Tang Shiyue glared at him, and Qi Jing quickly looked away without saying anything else.
