Section 043, bitter tame
"What do you know? If she hadn't betrayed me and had sex with Dog Master, would I have killed her? Do you think my father would feel good? Does anyone have to bear it when he sees his wife and other men? You don't know what kind of person your mother is."
Zhi'er's father looked in pain. He killed his wife back then, but he failed because he could not calm down his anger. He regretted it, but everyone was dead, and he had no choice. Now his son has opened his scars. His heart, which has been frozen for many years, was once again injured and bloody.
"You are wrong. My mother has never done anything that I am sorry for you. Every time my mother goes out to do things, she always takes me with me. That time, the eldest son of the dog gave his mother money and asked her to accompany him for one night. The mother threw the money directly in his face and scolded him. The mother said that she would never do something that I am sorry for her father, but she didn't expect that you don't believe her mother, and she even said that she and the eldest son of the dog did that kind of thing? Hahaha... you are so old and confused..."
Zhi'er's words shocked Zhi'er's father. He didn't expect that the real situation would be like this. He was also angry by the young master at the beginning, so he came back to ask his wife for an explanation. At that time, his wife just kept crying, and he lost control and killed her without waiting for an explanation.
Now after so many years, he has taken that matter as real, but never thought that it was all deliberately provoked by Master Dog. Zhier's father was lost. What he thought was right had been wrong for so many years.
The people around him also knew a general idea at this time. Seeing everyone pointing at Zhier and his son, Liu Shoucai hurried over and asked everyone to let go.
"Okay, okay, don't watch the fun. Today's exam is here for the time being. Let's come again tomorrow at the same time! Badou, take Zhier and his father back first."
Liu Shoucai signaled Badou to take Zhi'er and his father away. After all, this was not a good thing. Those onlookers gradually dispersed. When Zhi'er and his father were sent home by Badou and Liu Shoucai, Zhi'er packed up his clothes, and it seemed that he wanted to run away from home.
"Zhier, although your father did something wrong, he was also angry at that time, so he didn't hear your mother's explanation. A mistake turned into eternal regret. I believe that if your father hadn't been there, he wouldn't have lived alone for so long. Looking at your father's distracted look just now, it means that he felt guilty about your mother. If you left at this time, do you think your father could still live?"
"Don't say it, he should have died long ago. I killed him with my own hands in the formation just now, but now I don't want to kill him anymore. I feel that killing him with my own hands will stain my hands. Whether he can survive is his own business and has nothing to do with me."
Zhi'er's expression was very cold and she no longer had her usual respect for Liu Shoucai. Liu Shoucai saw that Zhi'er's mind was already in chaos. He knew that he could not calm down no matter what he said now. It seemed that he would really calm down.
"Then you go out first and calm down. After you calm down, think about how to solve the next thing. Come back and solve it! Escape is not the solution. I believe you will not keep escaping. Just like your father, he has escaped for so many years, but what about the end? He still can't pass this level in his heart."
"You talk a lot, it's annoying."
"I know I'm very annoying, but I also want to enlighten you. If you have a wife and a child in the future, when you face your father's choice, you don't know what you will do? Or, when your wife and your children ask about your father and mother in the future, how will you explain to them? Think about it carefully!"
Liu Shoucai did not continue to stop Zhi'er. Zhi'er carried the bag and left without looking back. It seemed that he had really decided. Liu Shoucai sighed, but he didn't feel sad, he just felt a little regretful.
"Why did that kid leave just by saying that? He has no conscience at all. Although his father was wrong first, his father has suffered so many years of pain and nightmares, and he has received the punishment he deserves. But what happened to him? Now, who is he showing off this face? He is such an annoying person."
Xiaobai muttered with dissatisfaction, and Badou shook his head helplessly. He had no good feelings for Zhi'er, but he didn't feel too bad. However, after Zhi'er's father's incident, their feelings for Zhi'er became worse and worse.
"Okay, let's stop thinking about this, let's think about how to wake Zhi'er's father from the nightmare. He has been sleeping for so long. I guess he must be in a nightmare at this time."
"Forget it, let him take a little more rest! Let's go back now and see him tomorrow."
Liu Shoucai felt very depressed to stay here, so he took Badou and Xiaobai back first. Early the next morning, Liu Shoucai took Badou and the others to see Zhi'er's father, but he didn't expect that there was no one in the room, and Zhi'er's father's clothes were gone.
"It seems that Zhi'er's father has left too, alas! I won't leave us a message. If Zhi'er comes back in the future, he might misunderstand his father again."
"Okay, let's go! This matter has nothing to do with us anymore."
After Liu Shoucai took a last look at Zhi'er's house, he closed the door and took Xiaobai and the others away. As soon as he got home, he saw a long queue outside the door. He didn't expect everyone to come so early today.
"Everyone, why are you here so early? It's just noon. It's still early in the morning. There are still a few hours left. Let's go back and rest first!"
"If we come early, we will be in the front. When we arrived late yesterday, we were in the back."
The people in the queue immediately explained. Liu Shoucai suddenly felt that this method was a bit sorry for the later generations. Liu Shoucai suddenly thought of a solution, which is a modern lottery. The number that is to be shaken is the number that is, no matter what time it comes sooner or later, it is fair.
"Don't worry, we have changed our form today. We use the lottery method. We draw the number by ourselves. What number we draw is what number. No matter what time we arrive, it is fair no matter what time we arrive."
Liu Shoucai's words made everyone feel excited. In this way, they wouldn't have to work hard to get up early in the morning, and they didn't have to be afraid of jumping in line. Seeing that everyone agreed to disperse, Liu Shoucai then took Xiaobai and Badou back to the house to make props for lottery numbers.
At noon, Liu Shoucai and his friends had prepared the number draw props, with a total of 300 numbers, and then they were placed on the table in front of Liu Shoucai Badou and Xiaobai. The people soon came to draw the numbers.
The person who drew the front number was naturally extremely happy. The person who drew the back number did not stay here. They also found a comfortable place to sit down and rest, waiting for the number they drew to be called.
Seeing everyone holding a number card, Liu Shoucai also began to let those children go in for the trial. As for those who did not get the number card, they could only wait for the next round. However, no one said anything. Instead, everyone gathered together in groups of three or three to talk about the results of the trial.
As time goes by, there are about fifty people waiting outside. After the trial, the rest did not leave immediately. Instead, they waited for the result of other children. No matter what era they were, they were competing.
Liu Shoucai tried more than 500 children in total, and only five were selected. This was something Liu Shoucai never expected. He originally thought that ancient children were honest and high IQ, but he did not expect that even children in the 21st century were inferior, which made Liu Shoucai very frustrated.
"What's wrong with you? Look at your unhappy look?"
Seeing that Liu Shoucai's face was not very good, Badou and Xiaobai walked over to ask.
"I just feel very ironic. Among the 5,0,000 people, only five were selected. The probability is too low, which is even scary than the probability in the 21st century. It seems that the children here are precocious, and at a young age, they have so many harmful thoughts in their hearts, alas!"
"The ones who are close to the vermilion are red and the ones who are close to the ink are black. If you want to open it, it is good to have five. If there are too many apprentices, it is not a good thing, and we don't have that much energy to teach them! What do you think?"
"You're right, okay, I'll be open-minded, let's continue! I hope that among the remaining children, I can choose one or two more. Five are too few, and I feel a little embarrassed."
Seeing that Liu Shoucai was already thinking about it, Badou and Xiaobai returned to their respective positions. After about an hour, the trial was over. A total of six children were selected, including three of whom were ten years old, two were fifteen years old, and one was eight years old.
Seeing the six people looking at him with a smile, Liu Shoucai felt depressed. He was not a good teacher to teach children, because he had never taught such a young child.
"Ba Dou, I will leave those two fifteen-year-old children to you, Xiaobai, and the eight-year-old children to you, and I will take responsibility for the other three ten-year-old children."
"Why? I don't want to teach the little brat. If the little brat can't stand the grievance and hard work, what should I do when I cry? I won't coax people."
When Xiaobai heard Liu Shoucai's distribution, he immediately objected. It didn't want to coax the little kid. It also thought that he would teach a fifteen-year-old child to study. After all, older people will learn quickly and will not act spoiled or something casually.
"But I can't coax a child either! If you don't want that child, let him grow up at home for a few more years?"
"Do you think it's possible? If you didn't say that you were so young, would this happen?"
Xiaobai looked at Liu Shoucai with a contempt. Liu Shoucai was also overwhelmed. It seemed that he could only talk to the child's family with a tough bullet. Of course, Liu Shoucai was not such an unreasonable person.
"Children, let's go home with uncle first. You five will go into the house with Teacher Badou and Teacher Xiaobai first. Those two teachers will tell you about what happened after school."
After Liu Shoucai finished speaking, he took the eight-year-old child to the children's parents, "I'm so sorry. I was not considerate before. The children can't stand what I taught, and their bodies cannot bear the strength. So you can raise this child at home for two years, and then bring him here when you are ten years old."
"This... Master! You don't know that the farmer's child was a family. Although this child is young, he is very sensible and is not afraid of hardship. Master, you must accept him!"
When the children's parents heard that Liu Shoucai asked them to take their children home, they immediately became nervous. They were originally because their children were the best, but they did not expect that Liu Shoucai would say such things.
"Don't worry, you're not worried. Suffering losses and practicing are different things. Let's do this! Let me test the child first. You can watch from the side. Children, tell uncle, do you like to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name, and do you have a green lantern?"
"No, I don't want it. I think I have big fish and meat every day. When I grow up, I have to marry and have children. I don't want to be the kind of person you mentioned. That kind of person is just a monk!"
The child immediately refused. After hearing the conversation between Liu Shoucai and his son, the child's parents immediately looked bad. They didn't understand what the spirit-controlling man was, and they thought it was very awesome. Who knew that they wanted to practice like a monk? When they heard this, they immediately began to hesitate.
"You have also heard that your own children are not stable at present. Although they can pass the test temporarily, it is because they have not experienced so many things yet, so they are mentally immature and do not understand the meaning of the test at all. Therefore, they can pass it. Children with a little mentality are difficult to pass the test. Moreover, they cannot do what I just asked. Look at me, I am in my thirties this year, but I have not yet married or have children. This is because once we practice our magic, it will be difficult to get married or have children in our lifetime, unless God agrees."
Liu Shoucai's words made the child's parents immediately uneasy. They hurriedly pulled their children away, and they didn't even have time to say goodbye to Liu Shoucai, but Liu Shoucai didn't mind. He felt relieved when he saw the child being taken away.
“All solved?”
"Well, it was solved. The child's parents were unwilling to endure hardships on their own, so they took them away. Moreover, the child did not want to endure hardships with us. In fact, he did not pass any trials and did not understand what the trials were, so he passed in a daze."
"It seems that the trial formation we created in a short period of time has failed, but it has passed. Now the remaining five are good. If you teach them well in the future, one or two will always make a name for themselves."
"What I am worried about now is not this, but whether they can persist in the future. After all, our spiritual lineage must persist in it. This is not a matter of one day or one night, but a matter of one life. Listen to you, starting from tomorrow, once the practice begins, you must persist every day, and this is a matter of one life, not a matter of one day or one night. But I will give you a month. During this time, if you can't endure that hardship, you can ask me to ask you to go home. Of course, once you go home, you will no longer be my disciples in the future. Do you all understand?"
"Yes, we all understand."
The five children answered Liu Shoucai's words together. Seeing that they all had excited expressions on their faces, Liu Shoucai couldn't bear to pour cold water on them, so he signaled them to go back first and come back tomorrow morning.
After receiving the order from Liu Shoucai, the five children ran home. After seeing them running away, Liu Shoucai closed the door with Badou and Xiaobai and returned to the room to rest. After resting for two hours, Liu Shoucai slipped out of the house and ran to Zhi'er's door, but he didn't expect that Zhi'er's door had been opened.
"Strange, how could anyone have?"
Liu Shoucai walked in curiously. The house was cleaned very clean. He knew at a glance that it must be the owner of the house who had returned, but he didn't know whether it was Zhi'er's father or Zhi'er who had returned.
"Master Liu? Why are you here?"
As soon as Liu Shoucai walked to the kitchen door, a sound suddenly came from his face. Liu Shoucai turned his head and saw Zhier standing behind him.
"Zhi'er, it's really you. I just passed by your door and saw your door open, so I came in curiously."
"Oh! By the way, do you know where my dad went? I haven't seen anyone since I came back."
Zhi'er looked hurt. It seemed that he had forgiven his father. He just didn't know how he figured it out. Liu Shoucai was very curious, but now he knew that it was not the time to ask about this.
"Your father left after you left. Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to be planning to come back. I think he should have mistakenly thought you wouldn't forgive him, so he left this sad place too."
"How can he do this? He killed my mother by mistake because of a misunderstanding, and now he misunderstood me again... Alas! I really don't know when he will become smarter."
Zhi'er looked helpless, but she had no choice. He also understood his father's temperament after so many years.
"Not to mention this for now, by the way, when did you come back?"
"I came back this morning and went to your house to see it before. I saw that you were still recruiting apprentices, so I didn't bother you."
"If you have any trouble or not, do you want me to find your father for you?"
"That's thank you. Actually, I figured it out. He regretted it all his life after his father did something wrong back then. No wonder he always looked sad every time he saw him. I was too excited yesterday, so he said so many words that hurt his father."
"It's great that you can figure it out, don't worry! I will definitely help you find your father. I'll try it with the tracing technique tonight, and maybe I can know where your father is."
Chapter completed!
