Keeper of the spring.Before this, Yuan Ning had never heard of this thing.But this word is simple and easy to understand, and Yuan Ning immediately understood its meaning.The spring refers to the spiritual spring, and the person who keeps the spring naturally refers to the person who guards the spiritual spring.To have such a treasure, isn't it necessary to guard it well?Yuan Ning looked at Mr. Lian and shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."

Mr. Lian looked at him deeply.Yuan Ning is very thoughtful, and she does things very safely, but she is still young, and many things are not considered carefully and thoroughly.If it weren't for this, it would be impossible for him to notice the clues.He can see that something is wrong, and so can others.It was because of this that Mr. Lian made the trip himself. He was not used to pinning his hopes on others—since he wanted to protect the child in front of him, it was better to protect the child himself.

Mr. Lian paused for a moment, and told Yuan Ning one by one what he had experienced from becoming attached to the Lingquan, being rescued by the Lingquan, until the Lingquan was destroyed and melted into the lake.Yuan Ning listened carefully, and remembered the owner of the notes at Lingquan.The experience of the owner of the notebook is so similar to that of Mr. Lian!Even if human nature is good, in a social environment that is getting worse and less suitable for human survival, good intentions will still decrease, malicious will still increase, and goodness will turn into evil—small evils will turn into evil. become a great evil.

When everyone has lost their rationality as a human being and only their animal nature remains, even having a spiritual spring will not change anything.At this point, Mr. Lian is pessimistic, so Mr. Lian is now living a life that is almost secluded from the world.Occasionally, when meeting someone with good intentions, Mr. Lian will give them some lotus seeds that he has carefully cultivated.

Mr. Lian said: "The fruits you plant are similar to the lotus seeds I planted. Such things cannot be sold to ordinary people at will. Let their bodies go wrong."

Yuan Ning was stunned.He said: "I, I don't know." Finally meeting someone who can safely confide in the secret of Lingquan, Yuan Ning expressed all his thoughts and asked what he wanted to know most: Is it as long as it helps Can someone else give Lingquan "life"?

Mr. Lian frowned, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of such a saying, nor have I seen those black silk threads you mentioned. However, the family motto passed down from our ancestors is to do good deeds, and our ancestors are indeed a family of good deeds. It seems that we have different spiritual springs." He was a little melancholy, "It's a pity that my spring has disappeared."

Yuan Ning said: "Ivory said that our spring water can only purify and cannot change life, old age, sickness and death. But after planting the lotus seeds you gave, the ginseng seedlings I planted in it changed a little. They can not only pull the body out of the soil Come out and run around, and it can also give birth to plants—is this the effect of the lotus seeds you gave?"

Mr. Lian said: "No, I have never heard of such a thing." Mr. Lian found that the spiritual spring owned by Yuan Ning was much more mysterious than what he knew.He asked, "Who is the ivory? You told others about the existence of Lingquan?"

"Ivory is a flower." Yuan Ning said, "Ivory is so smart, much smarter than me! Ivory was first planted in the gardening shop, and I picked it up at the end of last year when Zhaofu's birthday Go home, but it can always appear on the Lingquan side. That's why I feel that we are in a dream—otherwise, how can the ivory appear in reality and appear on the Lingquan side at the same time!"

"Can you hear Hua talking?" Mr. Lian was a little surprised.

"Can't you?" Yuan Ning was also surprised.

Mr. Lian fell silent.The spiritual spring he has is just a spiritual spring, which can give birth to all things, but it only has the function of giving birth to all things, and it has not brought him any other difference.At most, he can only sense "vitality", and he can see some pictures that have happened around him from the mirror lake.

Last time Mr. Lian discovered that Yuan Ning could communicate with plants, but he did not expect that Yuan Ning could hear the plants talking directly!And judging from what Yuan Ning mentioned, the Lingquan possessed by Yuan Ning can "evolve". 's second ability: Spawn!

Perhaps, the child's future will be different.

Mr. Lian became more determined to help Yuan Ning.At least when Yuan Ning grows up—before Yuan Ning has the ability to protect Lingquan, let him escort him first!He wants to see if what he can't do is really impossible—he also wants to see how far Yuan Ning, who is also a "spring guard", can go in the future.Mr. Lian's dead heart seemed to revive suddenly.

Not reconciled.

He is still not reconciled.

Mr. Lian said: "Didn't you ask why I helped you at first?" Mr. Lian's face was full of desolation, "I just want to see how far you can do it—I want to see if you can walk Going further, but my regret and unwillingness."

Yuan Ning calmed down.

Yuan Ning finally signed the contract with Mr. Lian, watched Mr. Lian leave, and then went home in driver Li's car.With such a special "partner", the fog in Yuan Ning's eyes cleared up a lot, and he made new plans for the future.Mr. Zhang hasn't come back yet, and the atmosphere at home is a bit low after all. Yuan Ning regularly reports the situation at home to Zhang Xiuyan every day.

At the same time, Yuan Ning seized the time to preview the junior high school curriculum and doubled the learning tasks.Song Xingchen's learning progress has always been consistent with Yuan Ning's, and the two often discuss exercises together, so Song Xingchen was the first to discover that Yuan Ning was changing his study plan.

Song Xingchen had already heard about Mr. Zhang from Song's father.After finishing the exercises, Song Xingchen asked, "Yuan Ning, do you have any new plans?"

Yuan Ning paused.He has been hesitating whether to tell Song Xingchen and Hao Xiaolan about his plan.Seeing Song Xingchen and Hao Xiaolan looking at him together, Yuan Ning said, "I think I will take the high school entrance examination in June this year."

Hao Xiaolan was taken aback: "We are only in the third grade!" Although she also followed Yuan Ning and Song Xingchen to preview the junior high school courses, but after all, they learned it for fun, and if they really want to take the exam, they may not be able to pass much Good grades come.Hao Xiaolan also heard about the Zhang family, and she asked worriedly, "Ning Ning, did you suddenly want to skip a grade because of Uncle Zhang? Don't worry, my father said that Uncle Zhang will be fine. , we can't control it at all...we are only ten years old!"

"So I want to grow up faster." Although jumping a grade does not count as growing up, but the identity of a "junior high school student" is older than that of a "primary school student", and it is easier for him to do some things than as a primary school student—— Of course, the premise is that he grows taller quickly, and he no longer looks like this little Douding.Yuan Ning said, "I want to help my father and elder brother as soon as possible. You know, I am not a biological child of the Zhang family. My father and the others have treated me very well...I want to be useful."

Song Xingchen looked at Yuan Ning with a complicated expression.Yuan Ning always lived so happily, he was happy every day, and everyone was happy when he saw him, so he would often forget Yuan Ning's life experience, forgetting that Yuan Ning had lost his parents—even more forgetting that Yuan Ning's surname was Yuan, Zhang's family Surnamed Zhang, they were not a family.

Song Xingchen did not persuade Yuan Ning like Hao Xiaolan did.He just asked, "Have you decided?"

Yuan Ning nodded vigorously.He knows that this is a bit risky, and even if he is admitted to junior high school, he may not be able to keep up with the progress of studies there, but he is willing to redouble his efforts!

"I'll take the test too." Song Xingchen turned to Hao Xiaolan, "Do you want to come together?"

Hao Xiaolan has been studying with Yuan Ning and Yuan Ning all year round. Although she is not a top student, she is more than enough to handle the exams.Except for Song Xingchen and Yuan Ning who are always far ahead in the exam every year, she always competes with Ying Shaorong for the No.3 position, counting the number of times she occupies the third place more often!

Hao Xiaolan was already moved when she heard Song Xingchen say "I'll take the test too". When Song Xingchen asked her, she immediately said, "Take the test! Why don't you take the test! I'm not afraid! At worst, I'll find a few more tutors to get the results. Make up for it!"

"Then we have to get ready." Song Xingchen said, "Let's talk to the teacher first, and buy some test preparation materials after school."

The words of Song Xingchen and Hao Xiaolan moved Yuan Ning deeply.This was his own idea. Song Xingchen and Hao Xiaolan decided to take the exam together to accompany him.With Song Xingchen and Hao Xiaolan joining, Yuan Ning became more confident: "Okay!"

After the activity class, the three of Yuan Ning went to the head teacher and told them that they planned to take the high school entrance examination in June.The head teacher knew that they had been previewing the following courses, and after listening to them patiently, he said: "You are only in the third grade now, and you have not been exposed to the really profound course content. Although you have been studying by yourself, the depth may be similar to that taught by the teacher and the exam. The test results are inconsistent. If you really want to participate, you must first apply to the principal. Now the principal is at the school, and I can take you to see him immediately."

Yuan Ning, Song Xingchen, and Hao Xiaolan looked at each other, and said seriously: "We are sure."

The head teacher took Yuan Ning and the three to the principal's office.The principal was talking to a student there, and when he heard someone knocking on the door, he raised his head and was a little surprised.The principal liked the three of Yuan Ning very much, so he stopped and asked kindly, "Is there something wrong?"

"They want to participate in this year's high school entrance examination." The head teacher spoke for Yuan Ning and the others.

The principal paused and looked at the three of Yuan Ning seriously.After seeing the same serious and serious expressions of Yuan Ning and the other three, he said: "There will be a mock exam at the end of this month. You will take the exam with the sixth graders. If you do well in the exam, I can approve you to take it—if you fail the exam Well, you can continue to stay here obediently and read on, is that okay?"
