146 If people have no dreams, they will be carefree
Just when Zhaoshi was extremely conflicted, a familiar figure appeared on the mountain path.
Seeing Lin Yan coming, Zhao Shi felt relieved and walked over quickly.
Seeing him, Lin Yan was a little surprised, and an unstoppable smile appeared on his face: "Fourth Junior Brother, you..."
He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he paused and asked, "Fourth Junior Brother, do you want me to tell you a fortune?"
Zhao Shi shook his head.
Lin Yan insisted, and was very generous: "It's free, just treat me to a meal later."
Zhao Shi still shook his head.
The last time Lin Yan wanted to figure out how to detoxify him, the turtle shell exploded into ashes.
Although Lin Yan said not to worry, Zhao Shi felt very embarrassed and wanted to compensate Lin Yan with a new tortoise shell.
Afraid that Lin Yan would continue to persuade him to tell fortunes, Zhao Shi said first: "Junior sister and junior brother are illiterate."
Jiang Xiao’s face turned red.
Ginger Heart is fearless.
[If you can’t read, then you can’t read. It doesn’t affect my ability to eat well and sleep well. 】
Lin Yan suppressed his smile, looked at the two of them and said, "It just so happens that the school down the mountain is recruiting a group of students. I'll add your names to the list."
Jiang Xiao smiled happily: "Thank you, Second Brother."
Jiang Xin's face was long: "I don't want to study. It's my junior brother who can't read, not me."
"Then can you read?" Lin Yan asked.
Jiang Xin nodded reluctantly.
[As long as the characters recognize me, it means I can read.] 】
Lin Yan couldn't help laughing, and used his spiritual power to write a word in the air, and asked Jiang Xin: "What is this word?"
Jiang Xin didn't understand and looked at Xiu Gou for help.
Xiugou thought the dog owner was crazy.
How can a dog know how to read?
The black dog shook his head, afraid that Jiang Xin would be angry with him because he couldn't answer.
Jiang Xin looked at Zhao Shi helplessly again.
[Fourth Brother is so smart, he must know what this word is. 】
Of course Zhao Shi knew this word, but he didn't know how to tell Jiang Xin.
Moreover, he felt that Lin Yan wrote this word specifically because he was planning something bad.
"Junior sister can't read, so let's go study." Lin Yan said in a gentle voice.
"I can read! Second brother, let me test you on what this word is?" Jiang Xin took the initiative and his little brain reacted so quickly that Lin Yan was impressed.
He thought for a moment and said with a smile: "This word is pronounced 'smart'."
Zhao Shi’s eyes widened.
Second Brother, you can't bully an illiterate little sister just because she can't read, right?
He wanted to remind Jiang Xin that Lin Yan only wrote one word and it was impossible for him to read the word "smart".
But Jiang Xin didn't notice his look and grinned: "Second Brother is awesome, you know such a difficult word. I also know that this word is pronounced 'smart'."
Lin Yan laughed out loud: "Hahahaha..."
Jiang Xin was frightened by the laughter, and nervously grabbed the corner of Zhao Shi's clothes: "Fourth Senior Brother, why did Second Senior Brother suddenly laugh so terribly?"
Zhao Shi wanted to say something but stopped himself. Finally, under Jiang Xin's confused eyes, he said helplessly: "Junior sister, a word has only one pronunciation. Second Senior Brother just wrote one word, it is impossible to read the pronunciation of the two words 'smart'."
Jiang Xiao, who had believed Lin Yan's words, was stunned for a moment: "What is this word written by Second Senior Brother?"
Zhao Shi looked at Jiang Xin with sympathy: "This word is pronounced 'stupid'."
It’s rare for Xiugou to be eager to learn: “Is it the ‘stupid’ of stupid people?”
Zhao Shi nodded silently.
Lin Yan laughed even louder: "Little Junior Sister, isn't it terrible not to study?"
Jiang Xin felt like she was going to break apart.
[Second Brother is so bad that he actually lied to Xinxin! ! ! 】
She angrily raised her little fist to hit Lin Yan.
Lin Yan smiled and dodged: "Little Junior Sister, don't be angry. It's okay as long as we read books and learn to read. Otherwise, you won't understand when others scold you."
Jiang Xin, who was chasing after Lin Yan, stopped and suddenly wasn't so angry anymore.
[I don’t understand when others scold me, doesn’t that mean that others didn’t scold me at all? 】
[Wow, it’s so good to be uneducated!] 】
Lin Yan and Zhao Shi: "..."
It’s really hard to understand the train of thought of my junior sister.
Jiang Xin was so happy that she patted Jiang Xiao's arm earnestly and said, "Little Junior Brother, you should go down the mountain and study hard today."
"Senior Sister, aren't you going?" Jiang Xiao was puzzled. He thought that after Jiang Xin was provoked by Lin Yan, she was going to take him down the mountain to study overnight.
Jiang Xin shook her head and was very happy: "I won't go. Studying is so difficult. I can't bear the hardship of studying."
Lin Yan couldn't bear to see his junior sister wasting her time: "Junior sister, people must have dreams. Learning to read and write is the beginning of realizing your dreams. What would happen if a person doesn't even have a dream?"
Jiang Xin: "I will be carefree."
Lin Yan: “…”
There is no way to refute it.
Jiang Xiao suddenly felt a little envious. He clenched his fists and mustered up the courage to say to Lin Yan, "Second Senior Brother, I also want to be carefree."
Lin Yan: “…”
We can’t let the junior brother hang out with the junior sister anymore, or he will be led astray.
"Pack your things, I will take you to the school tomorrow morning." Lin Yan ordered, feeling strange at the same time.
Jiang Yichen is rough but meticulous, and Qi Lanqing is always thoughtful. How could they both forget to send Jiang Xiao to school to learn to read?
Fearing that Jiang Xiao was too young to distinguish between the primary and the secondary, Lin Yan took his hand and led Jiang Xiao to his courtyard: "Let's go, I'll help you pack your things. Fourth Junior Brother, I'll leave my Junior Sister in your care for now."
When Zhao Shi first entered the sect, Lin Yan also held his hand, helped him pack his things, and sent him to the school.
He watched Lin Yan perform these movements so naturally and suspected that Lin Yan had no idea about Jiang Xiao's true identity.
No matter what, he should report to his master and mistress first and wait for them to make a decision.
Zhao Shi thought so and stretched out his hand to Jiang Xin: "I'll take you to find Master and his wife."
"Dad and Mom are not in Jiang Yunfeng. They went out for something." Jiang Xin said obediently.
Then we can only wait for them to come back.
Zhao Shi took Jiang Xin's hand and walked into the yard. The dull pain on his cheek gradually intensified, causing him to subconsciously let go of Jiang Xin's hand.
He wanted to endure it, but it was too painful, as if countless blades were rolling in his flesh, tearing his flesh apart, cutting his blood vessels, and piercing his bone marrow.
In just a moment, the pain made him feel so severe that he didn't even have the strength to stand and was forced to kneel on the ground.
He instinctively covered his face, and the withered wood mask on his face was shattered into countless pieces by the impact of the power of his hands, revealing his scarred face.
The toxins that were originally just slowly flowing under the skin now rolled violently like boiling water, causing bumps to form on Zhaoshi's skin one after another.
These bumps were of different sizes, and from time to time one would burst, splattering blood.
A feeling of cutting, burning, and stabbing pain...all kinds of pain tortured Zhao Shi, spreading from his cheeks to his entire body, as if all the bones in his body were breaking inch by inch.
He tried his best to hold back and not let himself scream out in pain.
Seeing Jiang Xin looking at him blankly, Zhao Shi was afraid of scaring her and quickly covered Jiang Xin's eyes.
He clenched his teeth, but the extreme pain still forced his teeth to rub against each other, making a "clacking" sound.
But even so, after noticing that Jiang Xin was struggling with her eyes covered, Zhao Shi did not forget to comfort Jiang Xin: "No, it's okay... Don't be afraid..."
The pain came very quickly, and in the blink of an eye it spread throughout Zhaoshi's entire body.
It was not until Zhao Shi held him in his arms and covered his eyes, and he felt Zhao Shi trembling violently all over, that Jiang Xin realized what was happening.
[The toxin in Fourth Brother’s body has taken effect.] 】
[I have to help Fourth Brother.] 】
The soft, baby-like voice reached Zhaoshi's ears, making his heart warm and his tongue dry.
Without the mask made of star stone, even Taoist Master Zhuyue's cultivation level at the Tribulation Crossing Stage could not completely suppress the toxins in his body.
Jiang Xin was born not long ago and can't even walk steadily. How can we help him?
Before he could finish this thought, Zhao Shi felt a pair of delicate hands gently pressing on his face.
He knew it was Jiang Xin's hand.
He was afraid of scaring his junior sister and wanted to take Jiang Xin's hand away, but he didn't expect that a cold spiritual power came from Jiang Xin's palm and penetrated into his cheek.
The pain there, which was originally like being hit by a sharp cone, gradually eased.
As this spiritual power covered his entire cheek, Zhao Shi could clearly feel the poison that was originally boiling in his body gradually calming down.
All the pain gradually faded away, as if his face had never been injured.
At this moment, he felt even more relaxed than usual when the poison was dormant.
The poison in his body was actually suppressed by his junior sister.
Zhao Shi looked in astonishment at the little girl in his arms whose eyes he had covered, and was shocked to the extreme.
Who exactly is this Junior Sister?
