Chapter 66
Although Taoist Yiqing pointed out the path of cultivation to the two young disciples, it is one thing to say it and another to actually do it in this direction.
The first person to be blocked was Yu Anan.
The two little kids sat next to Brother Bingshen with their faces in their hands, tilting their heads to watch him successfully draw a talisman with just a few smooth strokes, and applauded in amazement.
"Brother is awesome!"
“Awesome~”
Bingshen shook his head and laughed at the straightforward boasting. After putting down his pen, he placed a piece of paper and pen in front of Yunmian and Anan respectively, and said to them, "Try to copy the strokes on this talisman."
Yunmian, Yu Anan: “……?”
The two of them blinked in confusion, and Yun Mian asked first: "Brother, what is this?"
Yu Anan nodded and said, "Brother, this character is so big, I can't write it~"
Facing the same puzzled looks from the two people, the smile on Bingshen's face gradually froze.
After a long while, he patted his forehead helplessly: "I forgot, you are only five years old..."
What can a five-year-old do? For a five-year-old child who grew up in an orphanage, being able to hold a pen and write out her own name crookedly is already amazing. If you want them to understand the talisman and know how to draw it... this is really a long way to go.
After realizing this, Bingshen simply put down the talisman and took the two little guys to find their master.
"We have to walk down the mountain anyway, so why not send the two junior brothers to school first." Bingshen bowed slightly and expressed his thoughts.
Yiqing never expected that his two little disciples would fail in the first stage of their training due to illiteracy.
"It's not time to start school yet..." He stroked his beard gently and said slowly, "You can study with the other junior brothers first. In early September, Master will send you to school."
Hearing this, Yu Anan exclaimed in surprise, and couldn't help but take Yunmian a few steps closer, and asked happily: "Master, can we really go to school? Can we go to school without parents? Will the tuition be very expensive? Master, don't we have that much money?"
The more she asked, the more worried she became. Finally, she stammered, "Master, the nurses said that it's very expensive for children to go to school."
The little girl seemed to have suddenly seen hope but then watched it slip away. Her originally bright eyes and brows dimmed little by little.
Children who have never had a home are always so cautious. She likes this Taoist temple and the masters and brothers in the temple very much, but the timidity and anxiety hidden in her bones still makes her dare not accept other people's kindness, especially things that she cannot touch.
Yun Mian couldn't quite understand this unilateral concession. She looked at Yu An'an, who was looking down, in confusion, and then looked at Yiqing Taoist and asked him seriously: "Master, do you have money?"
Without waiting for Yiqing to answer, she tried hard to take something out of her pocket. She first took out the jade pendant of the little ghost doll and put it away, then took out half a piece of eraser, and finally took out a bank card, stretched out her paw and handed it directly to the astonished master.
"This is the money my mother saved for my studies." Yun Mian raised her little face and said with a little pride, "Mom has been saving money for a long time. There is a lot of money in it, enough for An An and I to finish elementary school together. When we can earn money in the future, we will save money to continue studying and will not let you spend a lot of money."
This was the first time Yunmian had spoken such a long sentence since coming to this world.
Because as she remembered, every time her mother received her salary, she would take her to the bank to deposit the money. She would touch her head and tell her in detail how much money she had saved.
"Mom saved 4,000 yuan this time, so that the twelve-year-old Mianmian can have more pocket money in the future."
"Mianmian, Mom has saved enough money for your junior high school tuition and living expenses. If your grades are good, Mom will send you to No. 1 Middle School. If your grades are not good, then we will go to No. 3 Middle School. Then, with the remaining money, Mom can take you to travel around, to see giant pandas, to see the Great Wall and the Forbidden City..."
"Mianmian, don't think that your mother is having a hard time. It's not hard at all. The moment your mother chose to give birth to you, she was already prepared for everything. Your mother is willing to become an omnipotent superman for you, a thousand times more powerful than your favorite magic fairy. Isn't that really cool?"
Every penny in this card carries her mother's love. It is the study fund that her mother saved for her bit by bit. When Yunmian took it out, her heart was filled with happiness and pride of being protected by her super mom.
Mom was right, she was a thousand times more powerful than the magic fairy. Even though she became stupid and couldn't speak, she still protected herself.
Yun Mian said to the master with sparkling eyes: "My mother is super super awesome. Master, can you send me and An An to school now? We are very well behaved and don't spend money recklessly."
Yunmian would feel sad and guilty if she spent even a penny of the money her mother had worked so hard to save.
But she was willing to give flowers to Yu Anan because Yu Anan wanted to practice hard with her and protect her mother and the ghost doll together in the future.
Yiqing looked at his little apprentice's clear black and white eyes, and after a moment of stunned silence, he slowly shook his head and smiled, and finally said with relief: "Okay, you are all very good, quickly take the cards back and keep them well. Since the master has adopted you, he must be responsible for you, and sending you to school is the most important thing to do."
"No matter how poor the Taoist temple is, it won't prevent you two little kids from going to school. It's just that it's not September yet, and the schools down the mountain haven't started yet. You should come down the mountain with me for the next two months to get used to it. It's almost time for you to walk down the mountain."
Later, Yunmian still couldn't put the bank card back into her pocket because her master was afraid that she would lose things at a young age and develop bad habits by spending money recklessly, so his master helped to put the card away first.
After the two girls returned to the dormitory hand in hand, Yu Anan moved to Yun Mian and sat next to her. She gently swung her thin legs on the edge of the bed and said thank you softly.
"Mianmian, the director used to send us to school, but it was too expensive... Later, no children went to school. Everyone followed the nursing aunt and the volunteer brothers and sisters to study. I thought I would never be able to carry a schoolbag."
She is just young, not ignorant.
Volunteer brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts sometimes bring a lot of picture books and learning supplies to the children in their orphanage, but Yu Anan can never even understand the pictures. If she wants to know how to pronounce the words on the pictures, she has to ask the nurses.
Sometimes when the nurse was in a good mood, she would tell her, and sometimes when she was in a bad mood, or was annoyed by the questions, she would become impatient and look fierce, and she would not dare to ask again.
It's not just her, other children in the orphanage are like this too. Their lives depend more on the expressions of the caregivers. If the caregivers are in a good mood, they can breathe a sigh of relief. If the caregivers are in a bad mood, the orphanage will be very quiet all day.
Yu Anan likes Yunmian, her good friend very much, so she is willing to be the bait for fishing and is willing to overcome her fear again and again to stand in front of Yunmian and try to protect her.
But Yu Anan didn't expect Yun Mian to be willing to spend money to send her to school.
Yu Anan, who was born an orphan, has long understood the importance of money. She even once heard the nurse complain about the children in the welfare home who could not be adopted and no one wanted them even if they were paid money.
So Yu Anan always felt that she was very cheap, but this perception was unreasonably broken by Yun Mian. Before she had time to stick it back together, it was broken again by her master.
Yu Anan gently hugged Yunmian, and buried her head fragilely on her good friend's tender shoulders, her voice muffled and a little like crying: "Mianmian, I really want to be your good friend for life..."
Yun Mian narrowed her eyes slightly upon hearing this, raised her hand and hugged him back with a little force, then patted him comfortingly as usual, "Then we'll be good friends for life, and you're not allowed to change for a hundred years. Whoever changes will be a puppy!"
This is what Yu Anan said to her when they were good friends and held hands and made a pinky promise. The silly little Yun Mianmian has always carefully remembered every word she said.
Yu Anan sniffed with red eyes. After letting go of Yun Mian, she looked at her eyes that were curved like crescent moons and nodded heavily.
"Well! Let's not be lying puppies!"
We must always be the best of friends!
The system squatted on the table and adjusted the angle to record the entire scene.
All the masters and disciples in Xuanqing Temple add up to less than ten people.
Among them, Bingshen is thirty-seven years old and is the eldest brother.
The youngest, Yun Mian and Yu Anan, are only five years old. There are four senior brothers in front of them, who are not particularly old. One of them is still studying at a Taoist college.
This time when going down the mountain, besides Yunmian and Yu Anan, the master only brought one senior brother, Bingshen.
As for the remaining four, some should study, some should guard the temple, some should serve the founder of the temple, and they should keep in touch with other Taoist brothers at any time.
After leaving the Taoist temple, Yunmian released her mother and the little ghost doll.
This time, the blood drops dripping from their bodies will finally not turn into a solid entity, and she and Yu Anan will finally no longer have to stick their butts out and follow them around, wiping the floor in circles.
The little ghost dolls might be getting annoyed by being locked up. Even though Yunmian would run out of the Taoist temple to release them every day, they would grab Yunmian's fingers angrily and bite them as soon as they came out, gnashing their teeth and looking ferocious like a bad-tempered cat.
As usual, 12 o'clock. In addition, there will be extra chapters tomorrow~
