Chapter 020 Avenue
The schoolchild folded an origami bird on his head, supported the railing with both hands, jumped lightly, exerted force on his waist, lifted his body up, and passed his legs over the railing. The thin band above his head rose up, drawing a lively arc.
Qu Fengyin just watched him jump onto the tall wall of the academy.
The child landed on the ground gracefully and turned his head to wave with a smile: "Come over here, it has been tested and is absolutely reliable."
Time goes back to two incense sticks ago.
The academy is located in the center of the entire county government and covers a large area. Xiao Liu led Qu Fengyin around and around, walking along the straight wall, and finally found a building of another family at the junction of the academy and a building. The following developments became strange and magical.
Xiaoliu first knocked on the door politely, and a woman inside opened the door.
The woman's face still had that scholarly look, but the outline was a little softer. She was wearing a peach-pink scholarly skirt, which made her face look somewhat feminine, and there was no sense of incongruity.
The child bowed first, and then said politely: "Excuse me, ma'am, I am an assistant teacher at the academy next door. The gate of the academy collapsed today. Can I borrow the third floor of your house and jump into the academy from the third floor?"
The woman tried to understand blankly for a moment, then nodded slowly, actually agreeing.
"I understand, young sir, please come with me."
The woman took the two of them into the house, leaving Qu Fengyin stunned.
Why was she so cooperative? She didn't even glance at the people following Xiaoliu, obviously showing great trust.
It would be great if those people who were afraid of the Jinyiwei in the past could switch places with this woman, so that they wouldn't have to endure so much contempt when they visited.
Qu Fengyin thought with regret.
Walking into the inner room, Qu Fengyin's only thought was that the room was extremely empty. There was basically no decoration. There were two tables, four chairs, and bare walls.
The empty scene contrasts sharply with the woman's colorful clothing.
This made Qu Fengyin feel vaguely strange.
"Thank you, sister! We will turn over later. Here, these are the peach blossoms I picked on the road." Xiaoliu gave the peach branch in his hand to the woman: "Give it to you, sister. Flowers go with beauty!"
There was a gentle look on the woman's face, which made her look even more charming.
She continued to ignore Qu Fengyin, and when they occasionally met her eyes, she would just nod slightly. She found a white porcelain vase from somewhere, inserted the bright peach branch into the vase, and went on admiring the flowers.
"Then I'm leaving!"
Xiaoliu waved his hand and took Qu Fengyin straight to the third floor. His movements were so skillful that Qu Fengyin could always imagine how he looked when he skipped school every day, and he must be just as calm.
The students often walk on the streets, and they are so familiar with the people on the streets that they don’t even bother to pay attention to the extra people.
Qu Fengyin pondered over it secretly, and felt more and more that this line was right.
"Are you familiar with the person just now?"
Xiaoliu paused while climbing the stairs, his eyes wandered for a moment, but he spoke firmly: "Of course, Ms. Tao works in the blacksmith shop in the county town, and I often play with her."
"Blacksmith shop?" Qu Fengyin was stunned. Judging from the slender figure of the woman just now, she could be a blacksmith?
Xiao Liu immediately noticed Qu Fengyin's suspicion, and he immediately cut the Gordian knot: "Of course, you can't tell? She's on a day off today, so I'm bothering her."
The words that Qu Fengyin heard were extremely firm, which made the leader of the Jinyiwei, who had seen the world, trust him.
Don't judge a book by its cover. If you think about it carefully, perhaps there are even stronger muscles hidden under that skirt.
"Here we are, just look at me!"
The student pinned Linglingqi on his head, said a simple hello, then rushed forward and jumped up.
The fence is two meters away from the towering wall of the academy, and the total height of the three-story building is about ten meters.
In other words, a healthy person who has not practiced Taoism can be turned into a disabled person on the spot!
Qu Fengyin had never expected that this boy could be so brave. He jumped as soon as he was told to. His arrogant and wanton look was just like a newborn calf rushing around recklessly!
Qu Fengyin no longer cared about the woman's weird behavior, his heart was in his throat.
He lunged forward, only able to reach the child's flailing headband.
I didn't feel relieved until I saw the little brat land safely.
Then, the kid, who had only been thoughtful for a few seconds, burst into laughter: "Hahahaha - you're quite funny like this!"
The corner of Qu Fengyin's eye twitched, and he couldn't help but teach her a lesson: "Be careful, kid, don't fall down!"
Xiaoliu snorted lightly, his face full of provocation: "Is this the height? Compared with the roof of the academy, it's nothing."
Qu Fengyin raised his voice: "You still climbed the roof of the academy?"
The roof of the academy is dozens of meters high and is nicknamed the direct train to the underworld. If you fall from it, you will die instantly and there will be no room for recovery.
"What's the big deal?" Seeing Qu Fengyin's serious attitude, the child finally lost some momentum and stayed where he was, waiting for Qu Fengyin to pounce on him.
Qu Fengyin certainly didn't become a Jinyiwei for no reason. His movements were clean and neat, and he landed as silently as a cat.
Then he subconsciously climbed up the branch on the wall and jumped down holding the child of six or seven years old.
The most popular fashion in this small county is probably relaxation.
The steward who was passing by glanced at them calmly, as if he didn't see them, and turned away.
Even the students who were interrupted in class ignored their sudden appearance.
The sixth grader enthusiastically interacted with the teacher in the classroom, who answered in a flat tone while casually tapping the head of a student who had read the wrong book.
The children in this disturbed little classroom were obviously around the same age as Grade 6.
But compared to the rebellious Xiaoliu who runs around everywhere and skips classes at will, these students whose faces are gradually becoming more like that of the gentleman appear to be much more well-behaved.
In the classroom, a child of about seven or eight years old sat upright on a cushion, holding a book in both hands. There was no expression on his childish face. His lips opened and closed, and the Three Character Classic floated out of his mouth with a uniform rhythm and consistent pauses.
The catchy sound of reading seems to show a thriving appearance.
Qu Fengyin was distracted by this scene.
"Are you stupid? Why are you in a daze?"
Qu Fengyin was stunned, and lowered his head to see that Xiaoliu had ended his interaction with the teacher at some point. He didn't know where this kid came from, but everyone could talk to him.
Could it be that his fabricated identity as an assistant teacher is not true?
Xiaoliu had no idea what was going on in Qu Fengyin's mind, so he asked playfully, "Isn't this place nice?"
Qu Fengyin curled his lips: "It's okay."
The student looked at him inquiringly: "Would you like to consider staying here?"
"Stay..." Qu Fengyin repeated: "Here?"
Xiao Liu opened the door with a smile, led Qu Fengyin out, walked in front, and said in a very cheerful voice: "That's right! Stay here."
The two of them walked along the corridor. In every classroom along the corridor, students were reciting classics with their heads shaking. They were dressed elegantly and looked very handsome.
"The journey to the great road is also..."
“So people should not only love their own relatives and their own children, but also ensure that the old have a good life and the young have a good job…”
"So the outer doors are not closed, this is called great harmony."
The gentle sounds of reading sounded like a blunt kitchen knife, tapping Qu Fengyin's head again and again.
It was as if he wanted to open a hole and sneak in quietly.
The schoolchildren in front of me were still talking: "It's so great here, there are no worries, no need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation."
Xiaoliu's voice became blurred, and only the words in the classroom echoed in Qu Fengyin's ears.
"Children don't have to worry... the academy will teach them, starting from childhood..."
Those words were fighting in Qu Fengyin's confused mind.
Suddenly, Qu Fengyin's eyes became clear for a moment and he paused in his movement.
His voice trembled a little: "Xiao Liu, what did you just say?"
Xiao Liu raised his eyebrows, turned around and smiled: "I said I know someone in the county government, I think you and I are destined to be together, if you want to settle down here, I will definitely help you with all my strength!"
****
[7 years old: There are always so many strange questions in the twists and turns.
You hugged Ling Lingqi and answered them one by one casually.
His steps were unsteady and he seemed very tired. His face was covered with sweat, as if a disease was invading his body, but he insisted on finishing the tour of the academy with you, and you admired him for that.
Even Ling Ling Qi commented that this was a real man.
After visiting the academy, Qu Bazhe felt much better and his face was not as pale as before. He suggested going somewhere else for a visit. His eyes were frighteningly bright, yet a little weak after the madness.
You spent the entire day wandering around this small county town, and you helped Qu Bazhe find a place to stay.
After all, he is a newcomer.
If you are lucky, you will live there in the future. If you are unlucky... You tilted your head with a smile and hugged the origami bird tightly in your arms.
When you returned to the orphanage, the dinner provided had already been served. Yingming was lighting the lights in the room. He had an upright posture and a bamboo-like temperament. You walked into the room as if nothing had happened, sat down at your own desk, and looked at Yingming obediently with your chin in your hand.
Oh, who can blame a kid who loves adventure? Even gods are no exception!
Yingming glanced at you, and that complicated look seemed to be asking, where did you go for hanging out yesterday instead of returning home, quite like a male mother condemning a rebellious child.
But it doesn’t matter, you may not have made any progress in other aspects of your life in the past few years, but your thickness of skin has increased rapidly!
You acted as if nothing had happened and opened the notebook on the desk, adding another adventure to yourself and Ling Lingqi.
The moon presses down on the willow branches.
It is a dark and windy time, and good children should go to bed peacefully, recharge their energy and wait for tomorrow.
Unfortunately, you are a rebellious child. 】
***
The stern-faced constable held the knife at his waist and opened the door of the county magistrate's bedroom where he was resting. He quickly slipped in and closed the door.
The bright moonlight shines through the window onto the bedroom floor, clear as water.
The black-clad detective looked around with a sullen face. The bedroom was completely silent.
He frowned in confusion.
No one in the county magistrate's room at this time?
The room still follows the empty design style of other rooms in the county. There is only a long desk in the middle hall where pens, ink, paper and inkstone are placed, and there are two wooden chairs on each side.
The constable did not hesitate, and methodically flipped through the documents on the table with his black-gloved hands.
"You want to stay so badly? You attacked me at night? Do you know what rest time is?"
Children's teasing came from the side.
Qu Fengyin broke out in a cold sweat, swallowed his saliva, and looked over vigilantly.
There was disbelief in his eyes.
Why was he here? No, more precisely, how did he know he was going to be here?
Xiaoliu smiled and leaned against the wall with his arms folded, but the shadow fell between his brows, revealing a cold temperament. His eyes were dark, and under the moonlight they looked like two deep whirlpools.
