Chapter 8

It has been sunny and rainy for the past few days.As the Ching Ming season approaches, the rain gradually increases, with occasional drops of rain falling from the sky.

Cen Shen has been reading in the study these days. He reads very fast, as if turning the pages of a book.While watching, Xin Wu felt that Cen Shen should be the kind of person who never forgets, otherwise how could he read the book so quickly?
You won't feel bored when you use your mind, but Xin Wu who is doing nothing will feel bored.

Fortunately, since the last time, Cen Shen no longer restricted Xin Wu from going out.Of course, there are still rules. It is one thing for her to go out to play, but she can't run too far, and she can't hang around for too long. She has to come back every hour at most.

Impatiently continuing to watch Cen Shen reading, Xin Wu kicked the copper bell next to him.This was something that came out after she ran out last time. Now when she wants to go out to play, she just needs to kick the bell, and Cen Shen will let her out after knowing about it.

He raised his head from the book and rubbed his forehead. It was very tiring to focus on the book all the time.

Cen Shen put down the book he was reading, looked at the impatient little fat bird on the opposite table, and understood that he wanted to go out.

"If you want to go out to play, you can, but you can't go too far, just wander around the village. Don't go to the back mountain, there are many beasts that can kill you! In addition, you have to pay attention to the time when you go out to play, at most one hour I'm coming back, do you understand?"

The young man said a long list of words, while Xin Wu looked at him expressionlessly.

It's really not that Xin Wu wants to be pampered, but that every day when she wants to go out, Cen Shen will say such a long list of similar words, which she has already memorized.But Cen Shen just didn't get bored, and had to repeat it every time.

Remember it!Remember it!You are really more verbose than my grandma.

It was about to fly out of the window, so Xin Wu turned around and yelled at the people inside twice.Don't worry, I'm just out for a walk.

Seeing that Xin Wu still remembered to look back at him before he left, Cen Shen smiled and went back to the pile of books. Now he wants to find something in the books, which may be related to his future life.

When Xin Wufei went out, the sky outside was gloomy, and the whole world was gray, which made people a little depressing.

There is no one outside in this weather, and the children are locked at home.

Xin Wu's first stop was the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village. Generally, there are more birds staying on the big banyan tree, and many people like to chat under the tree.But today the weather is bad, no one is under the tree, and there are few birds on the tree.Xin Wu had thought about asking these local birds to see if she could get some news, but unfortunately the species were different, and she could understand human language, but she couldn't understand what these birds were chirping about.

For this reason, she also specially asked the spar hidden in her brain. It is nothing if she can't understand the bird's language. After she has practiced for a long time, she will be able to understand it naturally, but it just takes some time.

Standing on the tree and waiting for a while, Xin Wu didn't come to listen to gossip today.

When Qingming is over, Cen Shen will go to the ethnology school to study. It will be difficult for Xin Wu to stay with Cen Shen by then, and students will not be allowed to bring pets in the school.So Xin Wu planned to investigate the situation of the school in advance, so that she would not be caught if she went to the school secretly.

Besides, Cen Shen didn't seem to like the school very much. Although he agreed to go back to study, Xin Wu could still see that Cen Shen didn't like the school, but he didn't know who the dislike was aimed at, whether it was the students, the teachers, or Both.

An old man in black dark clothes walked under the tree, Xin Wu recognized him, he was the gentleman Cen Hai mentioned, the one who likes to talk about Cen Shen as an example.He is from Cen Shen's grandfather's generation. Although he is also from Cen's Village, his surname is Chen, not Cen.Mr. Chen led a donkey and walked slowly.Xin Wu flew onto the donkey's back, ready to hitch a ride.

The donkey didn't respond. The old man who was walking in front caught a glimpse of the little fat bird on the donkey's back, which surprised him a bit.

The little chubby bird is well-raised, and its feathers are pure white without any variegation.The old man had heard of Xin Wu, and he knew that his most talented student had recently raised a bird. Due to face concerns, he didn't take the initiative to go to Cen Shen's house, but he knew everything he needed to know.

By the way, I heard from Cen Hai that the name of this little fat bird is A Wu, right?
"Ah Wu! Don't follow me anymore. If you follow me, you will have to leave the village. If you let Cen Shen know about it, you will be angry." Mr. Chen, who still knows a little about his students, took the initiative to persuade him and obviously still wanted to follow him. The little fat bird behind him.

Xin Wu combed the feathers on her wings slowly, ignoring Mr. Chen's words.She suddenly discovered that the name Ah Wu still has a little problem. For example, some people who like to add some modal particles after people's names can easily mispronounce her name.

The person in front of me was still a scholar, but she pronounced her name strangely, A Wu is A Wu, why did she have to add it, those who didn’t know thought she was a crow.It's not that crows are bad, but she and crows have only touched each other, and they are actually two different species!
She doesn't want to listen to him, Cen Shen treats her well, so she won't be angry!Moreover, the ethnology is right next to the ancestral hall of Cen's family. The ancestral hall is on the boundary of Cen's village, and the ancestry is naturally located on the boundary of Cen's village. The place she is going to is the ethnology. So she listened to Cen Shen's words and did not run away. out of the village.

He didn't even think about the response to what he said, Mr. Chen was just talking.It's just a bird, for the sake of his students, he will take good care of it so that it won't be caught.

The clan school is not very far from the village. After walking for a while, you can see the courtyard wall outside the clan school.

It is no different from an ordinary school, with five or six rooms connected together and a courtyard enclosed outside.There is no one in the yard at this time. If I came in the morning, I would still see someone standing in the yard reading.The books they read are also different. Those who learn quickly read more advanced ones, while those who learn slowly read more simple books.

Mr. Chen led the donkey to the courtyard wall. The wall here is made of adobe bricks. There is no limewash on the outside. It looks earthy yellow, but it is very strong.Xin Wu thought that Mr. Chen would lead the donkey in, but he tied the rope to the tree by the courtyard wall.Then Shi Shi ran into the school.A few students who came out to let the wind out saw him and offered to say hello.

We are all just walking here, so why do we have to lead a donkey? Isn’t this unnecessary?

Or is the donkey still a status symbol?

After all, as far as Xin Wu knew, most scholars who couldn't afford a horse would ride a donkey, and although a donkey wasn't as expensive as a horse, it was still very valuable to the country people.

So Mr. Chen leads a donkey not only to highlight his scholarly temperament, but also to show that his family is quite wealthy?Speaking of which, Xin Wu seems to have heard someone say that Mr. Chen has not yet married a wife!

Instead of continuing to follow Mr. Chen, Xin Wu took aim at the people who were studying in ethnology.There are only sour scholars in this world who can compare their tongues with gossip women.

Following behind these students, you must be able to hear a lot of shady things. If you are lucky, you may be able to hear what you want just like last time.

There are only Cen family members here in Cenjia Village. Because there are not many people, the scale of the family study is not very large. There are only five or six rooms, and there are also guest rooms and study rooms for the husband.

After some difficulty, Xin Wu found a corner in the school and settled down.

The gentleman in the room was in class, reading things that Xin Wu had never heard of.In fact, strictly speaking, Xin Wu might not be able to tell which one of the Four Books and Five Classics he was reading.Not everyone knows which of the Four Books and Five Classics are in modern society.Some Chinese textbooks contain excerpts. If they read parts other than the excerpts, Xin Wu really doesn't know.

But that doesn't matter, Xin Wu didn't come to study, she just came to play.

It has nothing to do with her whether her reading is good or bad.

Changing her posture and continuing to nest there, Xin Wu covered her face with her wings. She was still thinking that the scholars could have something to talk about, but all of them were studying. Although not everyone was very serious, even if they were deserting What they are saying is difficult to hear clearly among the noisy sounds of reading from a distance.

The people inside were reading, and they didn't know when they would take a break, or not at all.

However, there was not much time left for Xin Wu, and she made a good promise before going out.

You must know that sneaking into the ethnology is strictly a foul.But when Cen Shen was in the study, he wouldn't know where she went to play, so it was easy to fool her.

The question of time is not easy to fool.

Seeing that there would be nothing else to do, Xin Wu flew out from the corner, ready to go back.If he went back early, maybe Cen Shen would make her some snacks when he was cooking at night.

Just at this time, two teenagers walked out of the next room.They walked out without stopping, and went straight to the courtyard wall.The two of them stood upright against the wall, and they looked like habitual offenders.

There are many people in the world who don't have money to study, and there are also many people who have money but are unwilling to study. The two people standing there are typical representatives of the latter.

People sympathize with the former and dislike the latter. Sympathy comes from pity for the weak, but dislike often comes from jealousy.Those who are rich would rather waste their time and money than study hard. What does this have to do with others?The reason why outsiders hate it is nothing more than jealousy of their free reaping.

The posture of the two of them was very standard, but their mouths were not idle, you chatted with each other sentence by sentence.

"Have you heard? That guy is coming back." Lin You poked the shoulder of the person next to him, a little excited. "That guy got into a fight in school before he left. I don't know if there will be another fight after he comes back."

"Whether he comes back or not has nothing to do with you. If you want to think about it, it's better to think about whether your father will beat you up again when you go back today."

The one next to Lin You is his bamboo horse Ye Zuo. The two of them are family friends, and their relationship is the kind that is so good that they can wear a pair of pants, especially the generation of Lin You and Ye Zuo, whose names are all matched.

"My grandfather is back, and with him here, my father doesn't dare to do anything to me at all. He can only scold me a few words at most. I'm used to it. It's no big deal." Lin You looked at the people around him suspiciously, "Didn't you admire that guy before! Why now..."

Ye Zuo glared at him and was not prepared to speak.

Is there anyone besides Cen Shen who wants to study ethnicity?no.

So they were talking about Cen Shen?

Xin Wu landed on the courtyard wall, preparing to go back later. The person the two people below were talking about seemed to be Cen Shen.

I especially want to know what kind of image the gentle Cen Shen has among his classmates. Do you all admire him?

"Aren't you still angry that Cen Shen didn't agree to your visit?" Lin You smiled and bent over, pointing at Ye Zuo and smiling until he was speechless.

"Idiot, are you laughing so loudly because you are afraid that your husband won't find out?" Without refuting Lin You's words, Ye Zuo slapped Lin You on the head, but it was too late.

The gentleman has been attracted by Lin You's laughter, and the gentleman holding the ruler in his hand looks a little scary.

They are all ready to listen to the gossip, who knows that these two guys can get the husband over by chatting for a while.Xin Wu looked at the two people below who were scolded like dogs by the master, and silently said that you deserve it, who made you so arrogant, you should keep your voice down when you whisper, don't you know how to restrain yourself when you suddenly laugh?
Now that there was really no gossip, Xin Wu turned around and flapped her wings and went back to the village. Fortunately, the road was not very far, and she would be able to go back soon.

On the other side, Mr. Chen read a book in the study for a while. It's not time for him to go to class, but he seems to have forgotten something.When he was leading the donkey back home in the evening, he remembered where the little chubby bird he was going to take care of had gone, and sincerely hoped that it just went home and was not lost.

When Xin Wu returned home, Cen Shen was no longer in the study.

The door of the study was open, the books on the desk were spread out on the table, and the pages of the books were blown up by the wind.According to Cen Shen's reading habits, he will definitely arrange the books neatly after finishing reading. Even if he goes out to do something in the middle, he will put the books upside down on the table instead of leaving them there like now .

Where did he go?
It won't disappear out of thin air, right?
Xin Wu looked around in the study room but found no clues, but saw a strange book in the corner, with ink splashed on it, and all the characters that could be read were written like ghostly symbols. Can't come out what the word is.Stretching out his paws, he flipped through the book, and there was something drawn inside, with crooked lines, a bit like a human being but a bit like nothing.

She searched in the study, in the bedroom, and even in the kitchen, but she couldn't see Cen Shen's figure.

Today's world is becoming more and more dangerous for some reason. Xin Wu can always see unknown monsters wrapped in strong monster aura passing by the village. Those monsters did not stay in the small village, but all went north. Their speed Soon, usually as soon as Xin Wu felt their presence, they drifted away.

But not stopping doesn't mean they won't stop, there are always some monsters who like to eat people, if Cen Shen encounters such monsters, it will be terrible.

Xin Wu became distraught at the thought that something unexpected might happen to Cen Shen.If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have gone out, if only he had been by Cen Shen's side all the time.

Although Xin Wu is a scumbag, her prototype is a mist, which can naturally cover her whereabouts. After she practices for a long time, she can even cover the secrets of heaven!In short, as long as she is with him, Cen Shen will not be noticed by those monsters.

You must know that Cen Shen is the reincarnation of an immortal, that is, his soul is still in the period of chaos, so he cannot show it.The longer he lives, the more energy will overflow from his soul. By then, his existence will be no different to the monsters than Tang Monk's flesh.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the main room, like the sound of porcelain being smashed.

Xin Wu rushed over when she heard the sound, and saw a person standing in the middle of the room with her back facing her. There was a broken white porcelain bowl on the ground. Looking at the fragments on the ground, Xin Wu felt very familiar.

A piece of debris just splashed on the door, and Xin Wu saw the ink-colored marks on it, which were painted by Cen Shen on the bowl.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

Xin Wu didn't recognize the person with his back to her. She had seen everyone in the village, and this person was definitely not from the village.And for some reason, this person gave Xin Wu a very strange feeling, a little close and a little annoying.
