Master Li, carrying the long wooden stick he used to beat his students, followed a group of wobbling ducks, occasionally poking the ducks that had strayed with the stick to guide them in the right direction. As if sensing Xiao Bai's gaze, he quickly looked towards the window where Xiao Bai was.
The moment Master Li turned his head to look at him, Xiao Bai had a bad feeling and immediately squatted down and hid.
"Didn't see me, didn't see me!" Xiao Bai prayed secretly.
However, her prayers were ineffective. Master Li's familiar, strong voice could be heard from afar: "Xiao Bai, why are you hiding?! Come out and help!"
Xiao Bai squatted and took a few steps back to make sure that Master Li couldn't see him. Then he stood up and pretended to have just heard a shout and walked to the window.
"Ah, Master Li, it's you! Why are you out herding ducks so early?" Xiao Bai smiled awkwardly. She really didn't want to meet her teacher on her holiday. She would find trouble even if she had nothing to do!
"Since you're awake, come and help!" Master Li asked Xiao Bai for help without hesitation.
"Master Li, I'm sick! I won't delay you from releasing the ducks until I'm well again!" Xiao Bai said and wanted to hide behind the curtains.
"Do you want me to treat you?" Master Li's words could not be refused.
Xiao Bai:...
Okay, then I have no choice but to go and help release the ducks!
Xiao Bai followed behind Master Li, with the little squirrel on his shoulder, and Lai Fu beside him. Following behind Master Li, they walked towards the river along with the swaying ducks.
Since she's going to work, she can't go alone! She has to bring some help! Lai Fu the squirrel is coming along!
Lai Fu was quite happy, circling the ducks left and right, scaring them into panic. The little squirrel Song Bao stood on Xiao Bai's shoulder. To him, he was just here to join in the fun. After all, he had a humanoid vehicle! He still had to eat and chat!
Xiao Bai had a sad face, wailing, it was so hard to have a long vacation, but if she was caught working, how long would it take for her to be called to go to class?
Woo woo woo, let’s observe a few minutes of silence for our holiday that is about to pass.
Xiao Bai took the magic tool for driving away ducks - the bamboo pole used to remove spider webs at the door, and followed Master Li dejectedly and reluctantly.
"Master Li, aren't you training the students today? Why are you...herding them?" She spoke the last few words very quietly. She was so curious! Could someone be playing tricks on her?
"They need training." Master Li glanced at Xiao Bai and continued to drive the ducks across the riverbank and into the river.
Xiao Bai was full of questions. Did he have to chase the ducks away first before going to training?
She hurried forward, approached Master Li and said, "Master Li, why don't you go and train everyone first? I'll help you watch over these ducks and make sure none of them are left behind!"
As soon as Master Li left, she asked Lai Fu to look after the ducks, and then she went back to sleep! Hehehe.
Xiao Bai was secretly planning, but she saw Master Li looked at her indifferently and said lightly: "I will train them here today."
As Master Li spoke, he pointed his long stick at the ducks on the river.
Xiao Bai: ???
I don't quite understand what you are saying?
Master Li blew a whistle and shouted to the ducks, "Line up!"
The particularly strong duck in the lead swam to the front of the team, tilted its neck and quacked twice. The originally lazy duck team immediately returned to their positions and lined up neatly.
"Patrol!" Master Li gave an order, and the leading duck flapped its wings a few times, tilted its neck and quacked three times. The ducks that were originally arranged neatly immediately scattered and began to carefully inspect both sides of the river.
Some ducks stretched their necks to dig in the grass nearby, and some even put their heads into the water to investigate. They checked very carefully!
Xiao Bai:...
Wow! This is really great! They're planning to form an animal water patrol!
"So, Master Li, you came here today to train the ducks?" Xiao Bai asked carefully.
"Are you having a problem? Looking down on ducks?"
"Huh? No, no, I was just wondering, if you train the ducks, who will help train my classmates?"
Master Li glanced at Xiao Bai and nodded, "I know you're eager to train with everyone as soon as possible. I see you've almost recovered, so go to class tomorrow!"
Xiao Bai:········
Wuuwuwu, she knew this would happen! But she still struggled: "Master Li, I feel like my body hasn't fully recovered yet. I think I should rest for a few more days!"
"Then shall I ask the doctor to come and check you out again?"
"Then...it's better not to use it, hehe."
So the matter of continuing the class was decided so "casually".
Master Li looked at Xiao Bai's droopy face and raised his lips slightly. How could anyone who could survive in the Dark Realm be ordinary? Want to slack off? Then don't blame him for pushing it.
Master Li swung his long stick and hit Xiao Bai on the buttocks: "Since your house is by the river, it's convenient for herding ducks. Come, follow me and learn how to train ducks. From now on, the job of herding ducks will be left to you!"
Xiao Bai:········
"Ah! No, Master Li! Please let me go!"
Xiao Bai's wailing sounded, shaking away a flock of birds by the lake.
Lai Fu lay on the riverbank, raised one foot and scratched his ear: The master's voice is too harsh!
The big crab hiding and sleeping at the bottom of the water was also awakened by Xiao Bai's voice. It slowly crawled out of the water, took a look, and then slowly crawled back to the bottom of the water.
In the back mountain of Xiaojia Village, Grandma Liu was sitting on a small bed in the cave, with a thrush nestled in her arms. She was stroking the thrush's feathers with her hands.
Village Chief Xiao told Granny Liu the news that Uncle Grandpa brought from East City:
"The East City side is saying that the government and the noble families will jointly establish a training school, and they hope that we can send some teachers and students there."
This is a big deal, with both advantages and disadvantages. Teachers can choose people who have certain self-protection abilities to go, which is not a big problem. The main problem is that if the children go to Dongcheng, it will be equivalent to leaving the protection of the village.
"Our small Xiaojia Village shouldn't be able to get such a quota, right?" asked Grandma Liu.
"It was specially approved by Team Leader Li and Adjutant Xu, and the number of places is limited. I didn't know whether I should refuse, so I came to ask you. After all, sending the children to Dongcheng is a strange place. And the number of approved places is really too small." The village chief lowered his head and sighed.
Grandma Liu paused as she touched the thrush, then picked it up and put it outside. The thrush flapped its wings and flew towards the sky outside.
"If it's a bird, you can't keep it in your hands forever."
The village chief looked at the thrush flying freely in the sky, and he already understood what Grandma Liu meant.
