Chapter 86
"Uncle, why did you come just now?!"
Ming Qiao rushed over like a little cannonball, and his two chubby little hands tightly hugged the uncle's legs.
He hugged the uncle's legs and pressed his little face against him.
Facing the clingy baby, the uncle showed disgust on his face, but he picked up the clingy baby with his hands.
After he picked him up, he didn't say anything and just walked a few steps to where the little guy had laid the straw mat.
The little guy's ability to take care of himself is getting better and better now.
He spread out the straw mat, put out the small begging sign and the small broken bowl, and then spread out the bedding, and that was it.
The piece of land he chose is also very good.
The uncle came over and sat on his mat, continuing to hold him, not letting go: "How do you feel about your first day at the academy?"
"I met a friend."
Ming Qiao told the uncle about the new kid Qinglan he had just met. After talking about Qinglan, he also talked about the two Yayas.
"One-One and Two-Two are my younger brothers and sisters."
Ming Qiao's face wrinkled when she talked about this: "I accidentally took my brother and sister away with me."
Uncle: “…”
The uncle never thought that these two little buds would be Mingqiao’s brothers and sisters. He had previously thought that they were just ordinary little bud monsters.
"Uncle, do you know the Zhuling tribe?"
Mingqiao wanted to take care of his younger siblings, so the first step was naturally to hear what they were saying.
He still can't understand a word of his younger brother and sister's budding language.
"The Zhuling tribe is a congenital spirit tribe. The number of people in the tribe is not very large, but their strength is very strong."
"It is said that the Zhuling people are the race closest to God."
"god?"
This was the first time Mingqiao heard this word.
"Well, gods are the most supreme beings in the world, but their traces are too ethereal to be found."
The uncle did not say much about God, a being that many people believe has disappeared.
He continued to talk about the Zhuling tribe: "The Zhuling tribe is very strong, but also very arrogant. They are not easy to mess with. If you meet them, remember to run away quickly."
The uncle succinctly summarized the racial characteristics of the Zhuling people.
All the Zhuling people, both men and women, are born with excellent looks.
But they look good, but they are not good people.
When talking about the Zhuling people's natural good looks, the uncle subconsciously lowered his head to glance at the baby in his arms.
This cub is pretty good looking.
Ming Qiao listened obediently for a long time before he said dejectedly, "I was originally planning to look for someone from the Zhuling tribe."
"There's no need to look for them. It's useless to look for them."
The uncle poured cold water on Ming Qiao without any hesitation: "They have never been helpful people."
"Okay."
Mingqiao looked depressed and decided to look for other solutions.
The adult and the junior were chatting, and before they knew it, quite a while had passed.
A passerby passed by and threw money into Mingqiao's broken bowl.
The sound of money being thrown into a broken bowl was heard, and Ming Qiao quickly stood up from the uncle's arms. He thanked the child who gave him the money sweetly and said auspicious words.
"Thank you, classmate Murong. I wish you better studies!"
The person who lost money to Mingqiao was a classmate of Mingqiao.
The classmate looked at Ming Qiao, a little surprised: "You know my name?"
"Yeah! I remembered it when you introduced yourself."
It feels pretty good to be remembered after only introducing it once.
Murong's expression softened. He pointed at the uncle behind Ming Qiao and asked, "Who is that? Doesn't your sign say you don't have any parents?"
“This is an uncle.”
Ming Qiao introduced openly, "We are begging together. I couldn't find a job, so the uncle invited me to beg with him!"
Mingqiao feels that his begging career is still very secure.
With the money he asked for, he went to school and supported himself and Yaya.
Next, he would have to work hard to beg for food to pay for accommodation and future tuition, as well as buy things for Yaya.
"All right."
Murong originally wanted to ask if it was not embarrassing to beg for food here, but after looking at Mingqiao's little face, he did not ask in the end.
He said goodbye to Mingqiao and left.
As soon as Murong left, the uncle poked Ming Qiao on the back and asked, "You are begging here. If your classmates find out, won't it have any impact?"
"No."
Ming Qiao turned around and pulled the uncle up.
He spread out the warm bedding and then invited the uncle to sit down.
"Uncle, have you ever gone to school here?"
Ming Qiao didn't have time to study properly in Cang Xuan Continent, and only here did he start to study seriously.
The schools in Cang Xuan Continent all teach knowledge.
The school here is nothing like the school in Cang Xuan Continent.
Some knowledge will also be taught here. In addition to knowledge, the children who enter the school will also be taught to practice systematically.
That’s right, it’s cultivation.
In the Cang Xuan Continent, the Ascension Realm is the highest realm.
However, in the Tianjun Realm, where there are Ascension Realms everywhere and the spiritual energy is very rich, there is also space for cultivation above the Ascension Realm.
Mingqiao listened to what the teacher said today.
There are seven levels in the Ascension Realm. After completing the seventh level, it is considered complete.
Ming Qiao didn't know what perfection meant, but he was ready to practice well.
He collected the tuition for Wuling College bit by bit.
He must cherish this opportunity to go to school!
“I haven’t been here.”
The uncle said calmly, "The academies here are for children. Local children have been here since they were born. They haven't practiced much, so they either go to the academy in their tribe or to the academy in the city. I told you long ago that you don't have to squeeze in with them."
The uncle still didn't want Mingqiao to interact with the kids in the academy.
Most children in large families are spoiled.
For a soft little lamb like Mingqiao, it's easy to imagine that life won't be smooth once he gets in.
Mingqiao, this stubborn little donkey, didn't listen to his uncle's advice at all.
"Uncle, I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the academy."
Mingqiao crawled into the quilt, wrapped herself tightly in it, and closed her eyes.
It's late now, he won't work overtime.
Mingqiao has fallen asleep, but the uncle is still awake.
The uncle looked at the stubborn little donkey with a frown, not knowing what to do with it.
The four major families gathered in Wuling College, as well as some other prestigious families. His intuition told him that Wuling College was not a good place to go.
"never mind."
The uncle who sat next to Ming Qiao until midnight finally became too lazy to think about it anymore.
When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.
We’ll talk about it later if anything really happens.
He lay back lazily and allowed himself to continue to play badly.
Time passes by little by little.
After Mingqiao woke up, there was money in the small broken bowl again.
It was given by passers-by at night, and they gave quite a lot.
Mingqiao counted the money happily, but felt a little embarrassed after she finished counting.
He slept so soundly at night that he didn't even say auspicious words to anyone!
After putting the money in the broken bowl, Ming Qiao looked at the uncle who was still sleeping. He walked over, squatted down, pinched the uncle's ears, and moved his little face closer.
"Uncle, I'm going to school, you should have a good sleep."
After whispering in the uncle's ear, Ming Qiao set off to take Xiao Yunduo to school.
In college.
Qinglan also arrived quite early. When she saw Mingqiao, she walked over happily and greeted Mingqiao.
"Ming Qiao, you're here so early, do you want to have breakfast?"
“Is there any breakfast here?”
"have!"
Qinglan said, took Mingqiao's hand and walked in one direction: "There is food in the academy, I love eating the most."
Adults are used to fasting, but for children, they do not recommend fasting too early.
So the college provides three meals a day.
Mingqiao had just received the money last night, and he spent a very small amount to buy a simple breakfast.
While eating breakfast, Mingqiao took out two Yayas.
The buds love to watch him eat.
Among the meals Mingqiao bought, there was rice porridge. Little Lazy Bud took advantage of Mingqiao's inattention and jumped into the rice porridge.
Ming Qiao: “!”
Ming Qiao's face turned green: "Yi Yi! This porridge is hot!"
Yi Yi is lazy and greedy. He is the one who is most greedy no matter what Ming Qiao eats.
Once, Ming Qiao drank sweet water. He immersed himself in the water and became intoxicated by the water.
When Ming Qiao carried him out, she was so tired that she didn't want to talk.
The sweet water last time was at least cold, but this time the porridge was a little hot.
Mingqiao took the small sprout out of the porridge and examined its entire body carefully.
"Don't be nervous, Yi Yi said he's fine."
Qing Lan sat opposite Ming Qiao and translated to Ming Qiao: "Yi Yi said that this porridge doesn't taste good."
Ming Qiao: “…”
Ming Qiao: "It's not for him to drink."
Whose little Yaya knows how to drink porridge?
After having breakfast in the cafeteria, Mingqiao and Qinglan went to the school together.
There were a few students sitting scattered around the classroom, and none of them had any inspiration yet.
The little fat guy next to Mingqiao came.
The little fat boy was from one of the four major families in South City. Among all the children in the class, Ming Qiao and the little fat boy were the shortest.
Because of this, Mingqiao looked at the little fat boy quite friendly.
He glanced at the fat boy twice more. The fat boy was quite sensitive and immediately looked back at him: "Why are you looking at me?"
"Nothing, I just want to see you."
Ming Qiao answered honestly.
His honest answer actually made the fat boy choke.
"What's so good about me? I'm not even as good-looking as you. Don't look at me anymore."
"Okay, I won't watch it then."
Ming Qiao straightened his little head obediently.
The little fat boy who was still looking at him, seeing that he really wasn't looking at him anymore, couldn't help but mutter, "Why are you so obedient?"
The fat boy has a tough and aggressive mother. Maybe he inherited his mother's style, the fat boy also speaks in a rather aggressive manner.
Sometimes he doesn't mean any harm, but as soon as he opens his mouth to speak, others think he is provocative.
Because of this, the fat boy had many fights with others.
Now that he met a pretty and well-behaved child like Ming Qiao, he was a little at a loss for a moment.
Soon, other children came in one after another.
When they came in, Mingqiao's eyes stayed on them.
Ming Qiao didn't look away until the gentleman came in.
The classes at Wuling Academy are half a day for learning culture and half a day for teaching cultivation.
Ming Qiao's classes are quite tight, but he wants to make friends with the four big groups of people. So far, he has only made friends with a little fat boy.
After talking to Ming for a few times, the fat guy unilaterally announced that Ming Qiao could be his friend.
The soft Ming Qiao is just what the fat boy likes.
The fat boy originally wanted Mingqiao to recognize him as his brother, but Mingqiao shook his head and refused.
He said, "I have a brother now. He will come to find me later."
"Didn't your brother fly up yet? How long do you have to wait for him to come?"
"Anyway, I'll wait for him."
Ming Qiao believed in his brother and believed that his brother would come to find him. He also believed that his brother would not let him wait for long.
"As you wish."
The fat boy who speaks aggressively is actually not aggressive.
He was not unhappy when Mingqiao did not acknowledge him as his brother.
The fat boy sitting next to me, Qinglan sitting behind me, and Mingqiao, the three of them formed a small group in the class and they always went in and out together.
Their group is too small, and the fat guy wants to get Lingsi to join.
But Lingsi rejected them coldly.
Unable to win over Lingsi, the little fat boy held the two buds and muttered to himself.
Qinglan heard the fat boy's mumbling.
After hearing the little fat boy mumbling his thoughts, Qinglan's eyes lit up, and he leaned his head forward and muttered along with the little fat boy.
They were whispering excitedly, and the two buds listened to them while waving their little leaves in unison, aiming at Lingsi.
This is “watching” inspiration.
Lingsi didn't respond to their muttering at all.
It was the "gaze" of the two girls that made him look up, and there was a deliberate warning in his eyes.
Er Er usually looks lively and noisy, but he is actually the smartest.
As soon as she feels threatened or smells danger, she will decisively avoid danger and timidly go to her brother for closeness.
Yi Yi is such a lazy kid. I don’t know if he’s too stupid and slow to react, or if he’s just too cautious.
Lingsi's warning look was of no use to him.
He continued to "stare" at Lingsi, and the tender little buds moved slightly.
Although Ming Qiao couldn't understand his younger siblings' babbling, he was very sensitive to them whom he had raised for two months.
As soon as his younger brothers and sisters' buds moved, he knew what they were trying to do.
"Yi Yi, don't hold back."
Ming Qiao pinched the swaying little buds with his chubby hands and gave him a scolding in advance as a precaution.
Yi Yi is a bit vindictive and has a lot of bad intentions.
The shaking of his buds and leaves means that he is harboring evil intentions.
Ming Qiao's chubby little hands forcefully suppressed Xiao Yaya.
After he suppressed it, he went to talk to the little fat man. He asked the little fat man and Qinglan to stop mumbling about Lingsi.
The little fat man and Qinglan are both very indulgent towards Mingqiao.
They will listen to whatever Mingqiao says.
"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore."
Qing Lan ended her grumbling to Ling Si with a feeling of unfulfilled desire. She picked up a new topic: "In a few days, we will be leaving the house. We have to pay for our trip ourselves. Qiao Qiao, I'll pay for your share."
"Let me pay, I have money!"
The fat boy started fighting with Qinglan for the money, as he also wanted to pay Mingqiao.
The outing activities organized by the college had no teachers to lead the team, nor any support from the college. The college only gave them a location, and then what followed was both an adventure and a training for them.
These locations given by the academy were provided by several large families. Each of them provides an exploration point. This exploration point does not mean that it is on their territory, but only means that this exploration point is discovered by their family.
This place cannot be an ordinary place. It must be a place with some good things so that all children can explore it.
This time they were going to a place provided by everyone in Dongcheng.
It is said that a miracle once happened here.
But the little fat man scoffed at the gimmick of miracles coming: "Nonsense, there are many secret realm exploration activities now, and their signs are all about saying that there are miracles in their secret realms."
"Our family has also done this kind of business."
The little fat man also revealed some of his family's secrets.
Ming Qiao nodded after listening, indicating that he remembered it.
After he ordered, he said in a soft voice, "I can pay for it myself. You don't have to pay for me."
The money he saved was enough for him to go out.
Seeing that he wanted to hand it over themselves, the fat man and Qinglan agreed to it.
"One more thing, Qiao Qiao, you have to follow us closely this time when we go out."
"Those bastards from North City and East City will bully you whenever they get the chance. You must follow us and don't be left alone!"
It could be that Mingqiao was good friends with the fat boy, or it could be that Mingqiao, this little beggar, ranked first in the class in both academic performance and cultivation progress, which annoyed the other kids.
The small gang led by Dongcheng and Beicheng were very unfriendly to Mingqiao.
Especially Xiao Shan from Dongcheng.
Ming Qiao was very safety-conscious. He nodded obediently, making sure he would not be left alone.
After he made his promise, he did not forget to remind his two children.
"One, one, two, two, you guys have to behave yourself too!"
"When you go out, you can't make noise."
Speaking of going out, Ming Qiao looked at the two girls and his heart began to beat fast.
Not to mention going out, even taking the two Yayas shopping is a big challenge.
The two sprouts didn't grow very tall, but the enthusiasm they put into making them grow stronger day by day.
The day before yesterday, the two buds didn't want to stay on him and insisted on getting off and jumping on the road by themselves. As they jumped, the lazy little buds lost their energy one by one and wanted to just lie there and die.
But the little lazy bud was so rotten that it fell into the pit.
Before Ming Qiao got down on the ground to pick up Yi Yi, he saw Er Er eagerly jumping in.
Mingqiao was about to become autistic at that time.
Thinking about the deeds of these two buds, Ming Qiao's chubby face trembled.
"Qinglan, Juan."
Juan is the little fat boy's name.
Ming Qiao called them and asked for help in advance: "Please help me take care of Yiyi and Erer when the time comes."
"Okay, don't worry!"
Qinglan and the fat boy Juan both agreed readily.
But when they really arrived at the adventure point, Ming Qiao did not wait for Qinglan and Juan in front of the adventure point.
He asked around, but no one told him.
It was still Ling Si who came over and saw that he was so anxious that he was running around, so he asked someone else in a cold voice.
He asked, and someone answered: "Qinglan and Juan both went in, and Xiao Shan lied to them that you were in there."
Ming Qiao: “…”
Mingqiao was really angry.
He was so angry that his face was puffed up, but Lingsi, who had asked for him, looked at his little face and suddenly spoke to him.
"Ming Qiao, do you know anyone from the Zhuling tribe?"
Ming Qiao: “?”
Ming Qiao: “I don’t know him.”
He had never seen anyone from the Zhuling tribe.
Upon hearing this, Lingsi stared at his little face and studied it for a long time.
After a moment, Lingsi returned to his indifferent attitude: "Oh, I see."
Maybe he was really overthinking it.
Lingsi retracted his gaze and prepared to go in. Before going in, he looked ahead, not at Mingqiao, and said -
"The place that Dongcheng discovered is not a place where a miracle has happened."
"This is where the Zhuling people lived."
The author has something to say:
Baby: I’m about to be spoiled!
