Raiders, loyal dog

Although Ling Zixiu didn't want to study, it was impossible for Qiao Zhibai to just let his son become an illiterate.Considering the condition of Ling Zixiu's eyes and the fact that he couldn't stay here for a long time, Qiao Zhibai privately paid a lot of money to hire a teacher the next day to come to the inn to teach Ling Zixiu how to read.

In order to prevent others from discovering the abnormality of Ling Zixiu's eyes, Qiao Zhibai could only wrap his left eye with gauze as a cover.After the left eye was bandaged, Qiao Zhibai looked at Ling Zixiu's small face which was covered by a third of the bandage, and couldn't help feeling a little sad in his heart.

Stretching out his hand to touch Ling Zixiu's head, Qiao Zhibai sighed, and said, "Xiaoxiu, bear with me any longer. When you become successful in the future, these eyes will be nothing. The rules of this world are not inviolable." Conversely, as long as you are strong enough, you can change the rules. When you become strong in the future, you will be the rules. At that time, no one in the world will hate your eyes anymore. Those people will only envy and follow Just you."

Is it strong enough?

Ling Zixiu lowered his eyelashes slightly, then nodded firmly: "I understand, brother. I will work hard to become stronger."

Qiao Zhibai smiled at Ling Zixiu.Even though he knew that in China's thousands of years of patriarchal history, there was only one female emperor. In fact, few people have been able to achieve the kind of power that can control the rules, but he is willing to give Ling Zixiu a period of time. hope.After all, with expectations, life will have hope.Perhaps, in this way, Ling Zixiu's future life will be happier.

Qiao Zhibai didn't expect to be able to cultivate a great writer with amazing talents, so he didn't pay close attention to Ling Zixiu's study progress.But maybe it's because Ling Zixiu himself has a talent in this area. Even though he has just learned to practice calligraphy with books, every time he receives some advice from his master, he can immediately learn by analogy and apply it flexibly.

Qiao Zhibai was pleasantly surprised to find that in just a few days, Ling Zixiu was able to learn as well after following the old master.Qiao Zhibai said he was very pleased.

On this day, the teacher who was teaching came to the door on time again. Qiao Zhibai was polite to the teacher first, then touched Ling Zixiu's head encouragingly, then bowed his hands to the teacher, left first, and left the whole room. Let it out.

Ling Zixiu looked at Qiao Zhibai with some reluctance, leaving him alone and going out, but he couldn't say it directly, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed for a while.

"How much did you read yesterday's "Thousand Characters"?"

Just as he was depressed, the old master suddenly asked a question. Ling Zixiu sat up a little bit, pulled his thoughts back, and said without arrogance or impatience: "Return to the master's words, I have read them all."

The old master looked at Ling Zixiu with some strangeness, then stroked his beard, and said, "After reading this book, how much do you remember? What do you gain?"

Ling Zixiu thought for a while, and said, "My disciple is dull, I only remember six or seven out of ten."

The old master seemed a little pleasantly surprised: "Six out of ten, seven out of ten? You have memorized so much in just two days? Well, then I will come to test you today."

"Excuse me, master." Ling Zixiu raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at the old master, his expression remained unchanged, with a neither humble nor overbearing look.

Although Ling Zixiu was young, the old master loved his calm demeanor.After thinking about it carefully, he put the back of his hand behind his back, and began to test Ling Zixiu's homework in a leisurely manner.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Ling Zixiu was studying his homework seriously, but Qiao Zhibai was not idle.

Back then, he would spend money to buy Ling Zixiu, purely on impulse.At that time, I didn't think too much, I just thought about giving the child a free body.But after getting along with each other for so many days, I have to say that with a little more contact every day, Qiao Zhibai began to love that child more and more.Such a sensible, well-behaved and soft-hearted child, who can warm his heart with just a word, is so rare that people don't like it.

Ever since he realized that he really wanted this child to live a good life in the future, instead of just letting it go for a moment of kindness, Qiao Zhibai began to secretly plan for Ling Zixiu's future life.After all, no matter how much he likes this little guy, he can't bring him into his own time and space.Not to mention other difficulties in operation, it is that the Planning and Wearing Committee can't pass it.

The most worrying thing now is that his time is running out.Qiao Zhibai sighed silently.When he came here, in order to avoid forgetting the date, every five days he would write a small "positive" character for timing, and now, he has written four "positive" characters, which means , in almost ten days, he must be sent back to his own time.

Only ten days left.

Qiao Zhibai collected himself, threw out all the negative thoughts in his mind, looked at the several small alleys in front of him, then turned into one of them, and came to a small shop familiarly.

The shop is not big, and the decoration is very simple.Because of the geographical location, there is no sunshine all year round. At first glance, it looks gloomy, and it seems to have the smell of a ghost house.

Qiao Zhibai paused at the door of the shop.Although he has been here many times in the past two days, every time he enters the door, he still feels chills on his back unconsciously.Although he knows that it's not easy for such an intermediary agency to snoop on news so blatantly, but don't you have to decorate it like a private house to look tall?

Qiao Zhibai felt that there were too many pitfalls here, and he had nowhere to vomit.

Qiao Zhibai walked into the store and saw a man in black sitting in the lobby.Because he was wearing a mask, Qiao Zhibai couldn't see his face clearly, but just listening to the voice, he could deduce that the man's age was only about thirty.

The man glanced at Qiao Zhibai, then stretched out his hand and pushed over a thin sheet of letter paper.Only a few lines were written on the paper.

Qiao Zhibai took the letter paper, sat opposite the man in black, squinted and scanned the contents of the letter paper.Although there are still some characters that cannot be recognized, but looking at it this way, one can guess that it is probably something within the name and address.

"According to your request, we finally found these three families in Mingyin City." Seeing that Qiao Zhibai took the letter, the man said, "The husband and wife have been married for many years, but they have not given birth to any children. The family background is clean , The interpersonal network is simple. If you want to adopt a child, you don’t care whether the child has eye problems. You are honest and honest, and your character is good.” The man repeated one by one.

Qiao Zhibai nodded.

Seeing that Qiao Zhibai didn't have any objections, the man continued, "It's just that these three families are not wealthy families, they just have a bit of Susukida and can barely make ends meet... You should also understand that the slightly better-off families , even if the wife is infertile, concubines must have children. What's more, if they plan to adopt a child, they will definitely not find someone with a disabled eye."

Qiao Zhibai folded the letter paper in his hand, and said calmly: "I know this naturally. It's not because I'm greedy for other people's family property, why should I care about their family background? It's better if the family is poor, so that my children will not be bullied by those adopters in the future go."

Looking at Qiao Zhibai's attitude, the man in black was curious. If so, why did he have to send his child away? However, years of professional ethics prevented him from asking the question, and he just smiled. No sound.

Qiao Zhibai got up and put a silver coin on the table: "Of course I will go and investigate these three families, and if I really choose, I will give all the remaining silver coins to you someday. .If everything goes wrong..."

The man in black looked up at Qiao Zhibai, and then said, "Then I will do my best to continue checking until you are satisfied."

Qiao Zhibai nodded, and put the letter into his arms: "It's getting late, so I'll take my leave today."

"Go slowly, don't send me off." The man in black made a "please" gesture and said lightly.

Qiao Zhibai walked out of the small shop, walked a few steps quickly, left the small alleyway, and was immediately surrounded by sunlight.Qiao Zhibai raised his head to look at the bright sunshine, and the slightly dazzling light made him squint his eyes unconsciously.

Wandering around in the street, I bought a bunch of candied haws for Ling Zixiu. I guessed in my heart that it was almost time and Ling Zixiu should finish class, so I turned around and walked back in the direction of Baiweilou.
