Chu Changzui was actually very confused when he stayed in the inn for the first few days.

He was actually a little unsure of what the shopkeeper was going to ask him to do.

He had been staying in the inn recently, and he thought that the shopkeeper would teach him some knowledge about calculating destiny. After all, he had seen the shopkeeper's strength with his own eyes, and it was terrifying.

Since the shopkeeper deliberately made him shrink and come to this inn, it should be for this purpose.

But recently Chu Changzui observed the shopkeeper closely again, and her personality was unexpectedly...

ordinary.

What exactly was ordinary about her?

She usually stares at the window, the black sign, and people. She eats a lot of delicious food every day, sleeps, listens to books, watches the excitement, and stares at cats...

Anyway, Chu Changzui didn't go into the inn in person. He thought the shopkeeper must be thinking about destroying the martial arts world every day.

After entering the inn, he always felt a little disillusioned.

Li Guxing is a hopeless guy. Chu Changzui suspected that if the shopkeeper said she was a fairy, Li Guxing would applaud crazily.

He even felt strange that Li Guxing only had the concept of "the shopkeeper is the best in the world" in his mind, so he naturally didn't tell Li Guxing about the weird feeling in his heart.

This shopkeeper looks weird in every aspect, very much like... an ordinary person.

Chu Changzui was full of curiosity, but he couldn't tell anyone.

Until one day, the shopkeeper called him over.

Then... handed him a book.

...

In fact, when Chu Xiaobai first came to the inn, Feng Qing didn't know what to let him do. She tried to let him sweep the floor, wash dishes, etc., but no matter what he did, Feng Qing felt like she was abusing a child laborer.

The child worked quite efficiently, but the more efficient he was, the more guilty Feng Qing felt.

Until one day, Feng Qing suddenly discovered that the child could use an abacus, and she was shocked at the time.

And the child's speed of using an abacus may be faster than hers.

Feng Qing even made a post specifically about this matter, and someone commented: […I haven’t seen you for a few days, have you finally become an adult merchant? ]

[No! ]

[Your stories are getting more and more interesting…but don’t you really consider seeing a psychiatrist? ]

[A child who can use an abacus in ancient times? Let me think…did he work as a clerk in another store before, so he can use an abacus. ]

Feng Qing originally wanted to have a 300-round battle with the people who teased her in the forum, but she remembered it when she saw the latest reply.

Yes.

She remembered that the child had said before that he had a master, and if she guessed correctly, his master should be the one who taught him a craft.

So after his master passed away, the child had no place to learn the craft, so he was kicked out.

Although this child is young, he can not only use an abacus... he may even be able to write.

In order to verify his idea, Feng Qing found paper and pen for Chu Xiaobai. When Feng Qing looked at the words he wrote neatly on the paper, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly for a second.

She was too embarrassed to say that her handwriting might not be as good as this child's, not to mention that her handwriting was "missing limbs".

Wait, since this child can use an abacus and write, why not...

[For the time being... let him be a cashier in our inn.] Feng Qing finally decided, [He can also learn arithmetic, practice writing, and have something to do every day, so he can develop good habits.]

- From then on, there was a child about ten years old in their store who used an abacus every day.

Although Chu Xiaobai is not as tall as the counter when he stands behind it, and although customers always think they have seen a ghost when they hear voices but do not see him when they arrive at the counter, Feng Qing is still very satisfied. This is also a major feature of their store.

Speaking of which... Feng Qing does not intend to let Chu Xiaobai work in this store for the rest of his life.

What is the first thought of a 21st century human being when he sees a cub?

Studying, taking exams, etc.

Feng Qing does not want to delay him. She has prepared the four treasures of the study and is going to ask the scholar next door in a few days how to take the exam, what to read, and what to recite.

However, Feng Qing still has a little knot in her heart.

[In ancient times, exams were all about liberal arts. These people have read too much about liberal arts and never paid attention to science and engineering, so they can't develop airplanes and cannons.] Feng Qing sighed, [I want him to learn some science... Do you think this idea is a bit absurd?]

The people below posted comments and complained, [What's so absurd about this? It's a good thing.]

[Is this a deep-seated desire to encourage children to study... You have traveled through time, and your first reaction when you see a child is to encourage them to study?] [

Pfft, it's quite interesting. Let's put it this way. If a ten-year-old child has not learned any basic mathematics in ancient times, just give him some elementary school mathematical analysis first, and then let him learn physics, chemistry, and biology later to get a feel for it first. 】

The group of people on the forum said that Feng Qing should see a psychiatrist, but when it comes to forcing... ahem, persuading children to study, they suddenly get excited for some reason. The more they criticize, the more ruthless they are.

So Feng Qing compiled a list of math exercise books for children around ten years old in just half a day. This list includes the selfless contributions of several teachers in the forum. When Feng Qing took this

thing out, she actually had a bit of a bad taste, because she actually wanted to see a little bit of a blank and collapsed expression on the little white face.

However...

she saw that after the little white in front of her took these books and looked at them for a few times, his expression suddenly froze.

Huh? Why do you have such an expression?

Feng Qing was a little confused.

Chu Xiaobai's brows suddenly wrinkled.

Is the question too difficult?

Chu Xiaobai is actually quite good-looking.

...After all, Chu Changzui was already famous when he was still a child. Fortune telling is actually a rather idealistic thing. A good-looking person is always more convincing than an ugly one. Considering the time when Chu Changzui became famous, it can be seen that this guy has been good-looking since he was a child.

Feng Qing always felt a little strange when he watched.

Chu Xiaobai felt like a very cute little brother, but when he looked at the book in his hand, Feng Qing always felt like he had a kind of hallucination.

I always felt that... this little brat was actually a bit handsome.

It's not the kind of arrogant handsomeness, but a kind of cool, deep, and charming handsomeness. When this feeling appeared on the little brat Chu Xiaobai, the strange contrast actually stunned Feng Qing.

Uh, what's going on? Is it an illusion?

Feng Qing shook her head. Just when she wanted to take a closer look at Chu Xiaobai, she suddenly saw Chu Xiaobai close the book in his hand and raised his head.

"Are these books all for me?" Chu Xiaobai said in a soft and sticky voice, and countless lights flashed in his big black eyes in an instant.

His eyes were watery, and the killing power of a child's eyes is terrifying. That kind of admiring look was as if the person in front of him was the only one he could trust in the whole world.

For a second, Feng Qing had an illusion... She saw a little angel with fluttering wings in the sky, acting coquettishly to her.

In an instant, everything that just happened was automatically cleared from Feng Qing's mind.

Feng Qing was hit hard.

She seemed to have her eyes covered, and she couldn't help but grinning, and said with a loving face: "Yes, yes, I will give you everything you want, whatever you want..."

... Ten minutes later, Feng Qing sat in front of the table and began to think.

What happened just now? Why did she seem to have lost her memory? She only remembered that she seemed to see something particularly shiny, and then for a second the fuse in her brain was burned out.

The covers of these books were so shiny that they were dazzling. They were of such a bright color that they didn't look like any serious holy books.

But Chu Changzui didn't dislike them at all.

He hurriedly hugged these books in his arms, then ran into the counter, carefully pulled out a book, and held it in his hands.

This thing...

he suddenly understood why the shopkeeper asked him to be a cashier.

So that's it... that's it.

His expression... was like he had discovered a rare treasure.

If Chu Changzui saw a pot of good wine in the desert, he would not have such an expression.

...

The so-called account book is nothing more than the skillful use of the method of "number". Chu Changzui once studied numbers in particular. After all, it is one of the six arts of a gentleman. However,

"number" is the last one in the six arts, and the public does not pay much attention to it, but Chu Changzui loves it alone.

In fact, it is not only him. Many people in Guigumen have deep insights in numbers. After all, arithmetic is often needed in the process of deducing destiny. Some more powerful people even perform a lot of calculations when deducing.

Chu Changzui's master once taught him this, but Chu Changzui only knew what his master taught him.

He had never thought... that

the shopkeeper would have such a deep understanding of this thing.

When Chu Changzui was learning this thing, he was the fastest learner in the group. He always felt that things in this area were very interesting, and people who could master this thing must be extremely smart.

Although his fellow apprentices did not think so, Chu Changzui always felt that there was something very fascinating in this thing.

Cold, complex, with rules that are difficult to comprehend, but very essential.

- Just like the way of heaven.

So... is this the truth of pursuing the way of heaven?

Chu Changzui took a deep breath, and his eyes burst into an unprecedented light.

Although some things in the book may be too simple for him now, but... some of the methods used in it are something Chu Changzui has never heard of.

Chu Changzui felt that he finally got a glimpse of the shopkeeper's secret - she can control the secret of the way of heaven.

All the skills are hidden in these things.

He was so excited whenever he thought about it, and when he thought about his previous guesses, he felt that he was too superficial.

This thing... should be the summary of the shopkeeper's own insights over the years. Things in the world that are like martial arts secrets will never be shared with others.

But the shopkeeper gave it to him so selflessly, as if he didn't value it that much. Although the smile on his face when he gave him the books almost made him want to run away like crazy... But Chu Changzui still held these books in his hands, as if he was holding his own life.

...

Li Qi was cutting vegetables in the kitchen. He always felt that there was a dwarf jumping up and down excitedly within his sight. Chu Changzui relied on his childish appearance to run around everywhere, sometimes here, sometimes there.

While cutting, Li Qi's hand holding the kitchen knife suddenly tightened.

... So annoying.

It was as if a fly was jumping in front of him.

Li Qi sighed and looked up at the sky.

Taking Chu Changzui in was definitely one of the most wrong decisions he had ever made in his life.

He sighed and continued to chop vegetables.

Or if the weather is bad one day... just chop him up.
