The little girl didn't know how to cooperate, and Chen Youniao sighed secretly. But this is not surprising. They don't know each other at all. Normal people would be wary and wary at first reaction. Next, they have to face two men with ill intentions.

, afraid of some trouble.

However, what he and the two men did not expect was that at the next moment, the confused little girl suddenly took a step forward and called out: "Brother." Then she reached out and grabbed Chen Youniao's arm.

The sleeves are like a lost bird that has found its home.

Seeing this, the two men looked at each other and stopped in unison. They were not afraid of Chen Youniao, but in broad daylight, there were people around the little girl, so it was difficult to rob her. If they started a fight, the gain would not be worth the loss. They had to glare at Chen Youniao fiercely.

The bird glanced at it, then turned and left.

Chen Youniao breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to touch the little girl's head as a token of appreciation.

The little girl was actually not short. Her long black hair was tied casually into a ponytail. Faced with Chen Youniao's intimate movements, she subconsciously wanted to dodge, but somehow she stopped again. Her big eyes flickered, and

It's confusion, surprise, and some joy...

Chen Youniao didn't notice this, leaned down and asked, "Sister, what's your name?"

"Where is your home?"

"Where are your parents?"

But no matter how I asked, the little girl remained silent. If she hadn't called "brother" just now, I would have suspected that she was mute.

This is really troublesome. It doesn't matter whether you leave or not. The little girl kept grabbing Chen Youniao's sleeve and wouldn't let go.

In desperation, he had to take her back to the house first.

"ah?"

After Wangcai told Uncle Wang the whole story, the old servant couldn't help shouting: The young master was looking for money, but he didn't expect that he didn't find the money. Instead, he brought back a "sister". This is another mouth to open.

To eat, you have to spend money to eat.

Uncle Wang has no objection to the little girl. The problem is that the current situation at home and the increase in population are really unbearable.

But the person has been brought back, so Uncle Wang can't say anything more. Besides, the little girl is really good-looking and plump, but she has a cold temper. She only gets close to Chen Youniao and ignores others. She

It's not the kind of resistance that comes from being autistic and afraid of others, it's purely a display of temperament.

Such a temperament cannot be cultivated by ordinary people. It's just that his clothes are ordinary and there is no jewelry on his body, so he is pure and pure.

"Uncle Wang, go out and ask around to see if there are any clues."

Chen Youniao ordered.

Uncle Wang went as ordered. Although he had been away from Haidai County for ten years, he was a son of the Chen clan and had lived in this neighborhood since he was a child. He returned to his hometown, had friends and was well-informed.

In the evening, he came back and did not find out any news about the little girl, but he heard about an important event.

A war has broken out!

A war broke out among the three kingdoms within the dynasty. The Fumeng Kingdom and the Zhongshan Kingdom joined forces and actually destroyed the Qingqiu Kingdom!

At the dynasty level, this incident was extremely shocking, shaking both the government and the public, and had a far-reaching impact. The news spread like waves, and the flying eagle scout Chen Youniao met in the market today was here to deliver the message.

However, for the people of Haidai County, the rise and fall of the kingdom has nothing to do with them, they just want to listen to the excitement.

Haidai County is not under the jurisdiction of any kingdom, it directly belongs to the Dayin Dynasty.

When Chen Youniao heard the news, he didn't take it to heart either. Whether it was the Fumeng Kingdom, the Zhongshan Kingdom, or the destroyed Qingqiu Kingdom, they were equivalent to other worlds. At present, there is no understanding.

No contact either.

What he is more concerned about now is how to place the little girl.

The little girl looked like she would not be approached by strangers, and refused to say her name. Chen Youniao asked her to live in the study room first, and she sat there upright, motionless for a long time, as if she was in trance.

There are currently no books in this study, only a desk and a set of four treasures of the study, and a bed for sleeping.

"Uncle Wang, do you think this little girl is weird?"

Privately, Wangcai pulled Uncle Wang and said.

Uncle Wang had the same feeling: "She is indeed different from ordinary people. She has an indescribable temperament. She is aloof and inaccessible. It just doesn't make sense. If she is really noble, how can she live on the street?"

The old servant couldn't figure out the reason, so he stopped thinking about it. Anyway, the young master brought him back. If anything happens, the young master will handle it.

Chen Youniao had a headache. Regarding the little girl, he speculated on many possibilities, but there was no conclusion. For now, he could only keep her at home to raise her.

The little girl is very well-fed. During dinner, she only eats half a bowl of rice and some vegetables.

Seeing this, Uncle Wang felt relieved and just bought a puppy to raise.

The little girl didn't eat much, but she was sleepy. She went to bed early and curled up in a ball, like a frightened shrimp. I don't know how many dangers and frights she suffered during her wandering, so that she subconsciously curled up when sleeping, forming a certain

kind of self-protection.

Chen Youniao went back to his room to practice his homework, and he drew another peace talisman for the house. Anyway, he had to live a good life and make money. Tomorrow he would sell the two talismans on hand for a sum of money.

Enough to live a comfortable life.

Just draw one talisman, you can do it with ease, your energy and spirit are good, and you are no longer overdrawn that day. This is a suitable working state.

The next day, before he could go out in time, Song Tianfu came over again with a smile on his face. Unlike the previous two visits where he had a straight face and looked like someone owed him money - after all, Chen Youniao did owe him money.

money.

Chen Youniao said: "Young master, you've come at the right time. I want to sell talismans. Can you tell me where to go?"

Song Tianfu smiled and said: "It's just a talisman, just give it to me."

Chen Youniao coughed dryly: "That rich young master, I am short of money now and need cash, so this talisman cannot pay off the debt for the time being."

Song Tianfu waved his hand: "I've seen you outside. You can pay off the debt slowly. Don't be in a hurry. I will give you the money for the talisman now. According to the highest price on the market, it is six hundred taels."

Chen Youniao pondered for a moment: "You can give me five hundred taels, but what I want to sell today is two. Last night, I painted another one."

Song Tianfu's eyes suddenly lit up: Drawing talismans is not an easy job, and even a formal Taoist priest cannot be productive. Although I don't know whether Chen Youniao's words are true or false, but when I took out the talisman, it was the last word: "Okay, one thousand taels, I

I want them all. Also, brother Chen, if you draw any talisman in the future, you can sell it to me. You have the final say on the price, and it will be absolutely fair."

Chen Youniao said: "I can only draw house safety talismans. Why do you want so many talismans of the same type?"

Song Tianfu chuckled: "No matter what kind of talisman is, it is a hot commodity in the market. For big families, the supply is always in short supply. I don't even have enough talismans at home."

Chen Youniao understood that a talisman is a consumable item. Even if it is left unused, the magic power on it will slowly evaporate as time goes by. Just like a talisman for house security, it will basically disappear after being left for three years.

Mana has become a piece of waste paper; in addition, for wealthy families, they have extensive operations, such as doing business abroad, escorting and delivering goods, etc. Outside the city, in the barren mountains and ridges, where the situation is complex, they may encounter many things.

They all need talismans to protect themselves.

Song Tianfu sighed: "Have you heard the news that Qingqiu was destroyed?"

Chen Youniao nodded and asked, "Will this matter have any impact?"

"The impact has been great. As the saying goes, it affects the whole body. The current situation has become turbulent and the storm is stirring. Who knows whether a war will break out? If there is a war, the world will be in chaos. When chaos breaks out, use force and Taoism.

It’s something to rely on.”

Song Tianfu said frankly: "So, according to this situation, the price of talismans on the market will definitely increase. Of course, the price of house security talismans is here, around 500, with a peak of 600."

Chen Youniao smiled and said: "Young master, I know that your price is fair, and your willingness to agree to extend the debt has solved my urgent need. I will remember this favor."

Song Tianfu clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Brother Chen is indeed a sensible and straightforward person. From now on, don't call me 'Mr. Rich' anymore. To save face, call me 'Brother Tianfu'."

Chen Youniao thought of something and asked, "Brother Tianfu, do you know the teacher who teaches article writing?"

Song Tianfu was startled: "You mean to preach and write official documents?"

In the imperial examination system of the Dayin Dynasty, what was written in the examination was not the eight-legged essay, but directly called "official essay", which is easy to understand. If you want to gain fame and gain official status, you have to enter the examination room to write official essays. If you write well, you will be able to

Be an official.

Chen Youniao replied: "Exactly."

The clan refused to let him enter the clan school, and he did not want to go to an ordinary private school to study with a large group of children. The best way was to find a capable teacher privately and receive guidance.

Song Tianfu asked: "Who did you find this teacher for?"

Chen Youniao said: "To be honest, I am looking for a teacher myself. I want to study and take the imperial examination."

"What?"

Song Tianfu's little eyes widened and he felt incredible. In his opinion, Chen Youniao was already a man who had the hope of cultivating Taoism. As long as he became a Taoist priest and took the ultimatum, he would have a decent status and have no worries about food and clothing.

All of a sudden, he said he was going to take a study exam?

The officialdom and the monastery are two completely different areas, each with its own advantages. The problem is that you, Chen Youniao, have just shown some potential in monasticism, and suddenly you go to study again. Wouldn't it mean that your energy is scattered and you are stuck in both directions?

?

"Brother Chen, which song are you singing about?"

Chen Youniao said: "Walking on two legs is better than jumping on one leg. Even if I fail to cultivate Taoism in the future, I will have another way to go."

Song Tianfu said: "What you said is true, but you need to concentrate on doing things. If you are distracted, you will be empty-handed and miss the task."

Chen Youniao said: "I have made up my mind."

Song Tianfu couldn't help but roll his eyes and stopped trying to persuade him. He had to let Chen Youniao go through this matter on his own. Only when he ran into a wall and his face was bloody did he finally wake up.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I know a great teacher."

Chen Youniao hurriedly said: "Brother Tianfu, please introduce me."

Song Tianfu said with a smile: "This person has taught many people, including Jinshi, and has a certain reputation in the county."

Chen Youniao asked: "It's not easy to meet such a teacher."

"That's true, he has a lot of rules, his fees are also high, and he looks for people to accept as disciples. To become his disciple, the first thing to look at is whether the calligraphy is good; the second thing is whether he is talented. Only by having both, can he become his disciple.

He favors it. So, brother Chen, if you want to become a disciple, you must first write a work, whether it can be poetry or prose, it depends on your performance."

Song Tianfu introduced this person with the intention of deliberately embarrassing Chen Youniao, so that he would retreat and concentrate on drawing the talisman.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Chen Youniao pondered slightly and said, "Okay, I'll go write it right away. Please give me Brother Tianfu a moment."

Song Tianfu listened, and his little eyes bulged: You just write as you say, are you really just doodling with your hands, so that people can see it?
