More than a dozen generations of people in this village rely on the mountains to eat, and farming and raising people is the duty, and it is difficult to produce one or two people who recognize and write.

The news that Lu Liangsheng could read and write was spread. After Lu Laoshi's anger faded, he felt a little regretful. After all, his son belonged to him and he didn't ask clearly. If he went to court, he would not only be embarrassed, but also be beaten.

When he was rushing to go home, in Lu Liangsheng's room, Toad Taoist sat on the edge of the bed with his webbed, looking at the boy writing and painting over there.

"You are also a teacher who knows that you are confused, but you have to understand that most of the people in the village are your relatives. There is a saying outside: Helping the ministers and not helping the relatives, let alone that this is both a relative and a polite person. If you don't stand up to help everyone, you will be unable to say that. Those who do good should uphold justice and stand in the world, regardless of their care."

Over there, Lu Liangsheng put down his brush, raised his head, looked at his master, and pushed his thin cocoon, showing a bitter smile: "What the master said, why don't you think about it? But I have never been to the court. I have seen the biggest official, the township chief, from afar."

"Go, the biggest official you have ever met is the county magistrate."

Taoist Zixing sat on the edge of the bed, kicking the toad legs hanging in the air, the frog webs on the thin front limbs twisted, trying to stretch out his fingers, pointing at himself: "Think about the decades of practicing Taoism as a teacher. If I hadn't taken a step, how could I have been as profound as today? You are nothing more than timid, but as a human being, you wouldn't have been hiding behind for the rest of your life."

"High level of cultivation..." Lu Liangsheng looked him up and down.

The toad retracted his hand and left it behind: "I mean the past when I am a teacher."

The speech was paused, and the disciple almost forgot what happened next. He reorganized the speech, stood up, walked around the edge of the bed, and continued, "Anyway, you must go there. Practicing the Tao is to practice the human way, and practicing the mind is to practice the right mind. If you don't do this, it will be contrary to your conscience, and it will be difficult for you to practice in the future."

Oh my mother... I even brought out these words, why don’t you go?

After the Taoist Zixing said, he looked straight at the boy pressing the table with his lips tightly pursed. After a long time, Lu Liangsheng's tightly pursed lips finally let go.

He nodded to the master: "Master said, Liangsheng has written it down!"

Taoist Zixing also breathed a long sigh, jumped onto the worn table, opened the frog webbed and patted the boy's arm: "It's good to think so, go to court, and I'll vaguely calculate that you still have Duan Qiyuan, so don't worry."

Looking at the young man in front of him, his toad eyes with red dots bloomed fiercely: I added another word to attract you, and if you don’t believe it, you don’t want to go.

Over there, Lu Liangsheng also gave a certain statement.

"Yes! Master."

At this time, outside the house, Lu Laoshi also rushed back. When he heard the sound, Taoist Zixing quickly lay down and the door was pushed open.

"Dad, what's the matter?" The young man looked at his father walking in in a little surprised.

When Lu Laoshi walked into the room, he looked at his son, rubbed his palms covered with calluses with guilt, and his gentle temperament came up again: "Liaosheng...going to the yamen..."

Before he finished speaking, his son said the words over there: "Dad, I will go."

"You...re you really go?"

Lu Laoshi was also a little surprised at his son's answer. Then he thought that Liangsheng has become more and more sensible over the years. He should understand that if the village suffers injustice, many people will probably go hungry.

After that, the village elder summoned eight men to tell Lu Liangsheng the whole story, and then discussed some remarks about going to the court before they left late at night.

The next morning, each household gathered some dry food and some money on the road. Lu Liangsheng also rode the old donkey at home, brought the dry food and pieces of copper, and walked on the road that had walked through Fushui County with eight big men from the same village.

The old donkey cried and his hooves slowly moved away. In the package on the young man's cross-body back, the Zixing Taoist curled up and shook it, and bumped into the copper coins.

Closed his eyes, but he was humming softly.

"At this speed, it will be the next day to arrive in the county town..."

The team walked very slowly. On the one hand, the roads outside the mountains were rugged and not easy to walk. On the other hand, this time, the door was not as casual as when there were many people. Walk carefully and beware of robbers.

It was dark and it was still about fifteen miles away from Fushui. Although the distance behind was relatively easy to walk, after a day, people would always feel tired and sleepy.

The eight people discussed with Lu Liangsheng that they would deal with each other for one night. The people in the mountains were not that delicate. As long as it didn't rain, they could close their eyes even if they slept on the weeds. However, the situation was not that bad. The villagers had walked through this road many times, with a few thatched huts in front of them.

In the past, someone lived there, but later, if they moved away for some reason or died, they were empty and the fields were left unattended. Sometimes they didn’t want to travel at night or when they were raining heavily, they would stay there for a night before leaving.

Lu Liangsheng raised his head, and the hills within his eyes were covered by black forests, and the clouds wandered in the night sky, revealing half of the clear moon.

Aww

The sound of wolves sounded in the distance, and in the woods, rustling footsteps past the fallen leaves, and in the moonlight shining through the gaps of the trees, eight people walked in front and headed towards the dilapidated thatched hut they said.

Lu Liangsheng walked behind with the old donkey, constantly observing the surroundings. The outline of the distant mountains in the dark was like a giant beast crouching down from the vast trees. The moonlight shone between the gaps of the trees, accompanied by the occasional howl of wolfs, which made people feel creepy.

“It’s here.”

The sound came from the front, which made Lu Liangsheng feel a little relieved. The old donkey he was holding in his hand was a little restless, and he was reluctant to follow him with a heavy breath, but he was still dragged by the boy to chase him.

Walking up a gentle slope, in the cold night, there was a small thatched hut with half-mud walls collapsed on the slope. It was no one to take care of it for a long time. After the wall fell, the roof also fell.

Pushing open the crooked door leaf, dust fell on my shoulders in a creaking whisper.

Lu Liangsheng coughed a few times after being choked. The room smelled very bad, but the pile of burnt wood on the ground proved that there were indeed people who would stay here occasionally.

Soon, the fire was lit again, and someone took out a pot and put it on it, broke the dry food in everyone's hands into several pieces and cooked it. Adding water, the boiled dry food can save a lot.

The eight great men who came along with Liangsheng volunteered to come out together. There was not much farm work in the village, so they naturally wanted to come out to see the world. If they were lucky enough to find a good job, they wouldn't have to go back. At least they would have to wait until the Chinese New Year.

After making do with it, the eight people fell asleep around the bonfire.

Lu Liangsheng was not much sleepy at this time. He was holding another book "Createn Dreams" and read it. The bonfire bounced with sparks, and night insects roared in the corners. In silence, the package placed beside the wall swelled for a few times, and the crawling figure crawled out quietly.

Taoist Zixing swept over the back of reading books, quickly drilled out into a gap in the corner of the wall, standing in the moonlight, looking at the wilderness, as if he felt something.

He ran away with four legs, and the frog webbed stepped on a thick layer of fallen leaves. His mouth and long tongue were dragged to the outside and floated backwards as he ran.

Following a stream to the mountain, jumped over a rotten wood lying across, and stood in front of a large bluestone. The pair of toad eyes were excitedly staring at the mountain walls flowing out of the stream. There was a deep gap between several moss-covered rocks, and there seemed to be a larger space inside.

"come out…"

The toad man stood up, thrusting his round belly, and slightly raised his face: "I have something to do to tell you, little demon!"

The sound echoed among the mountains and forests, and the quiet leaves suddenly swayed randomly, making a buzzing sound.

There were rustling sounds in the deep and deep cracks of rocks. The next moment, a pair of scarlet colors lit up.

"Hmph...a little demon in the psychic stage."

The Zixing Taoist carries his forelimbs and points to the direction when he comes.

"I asked you to kill someone, and it would be okay to eat it. It was a small gift for you, a junior."

Two long black shadows emerged in the cracks of the rocks. They thought they were branches and bamboo poles. When they were streaked to the range of moonlight, they were a pair of light red insect whiskers, swaying in the air.

After a moment, a hoarse and sharp voice came from the gap with the cry of the insect: "You are also a monster, why don't you go?"

Taoist Zixing frowned, and this guy would even ask back.

However, before he could speak, the sharp voice over there turned into a low laugh: "A little toad dares to point fingers on my hills... Hehe... I will accept your gift... But you also look delicious."

The heart of the Zixing Taoist suddenly twitched.

"...Why is this monster in the psychic stage so smart?" The moment thought flashed across his head, he twisted over the toad, turned around and jumped off the big bluestone, spread the frog webbing and ran wildly.

Behind him, there was a loud bang, and the rocks burst and splashed. When the stream splashed, the deep place, scarlet eyes swam out quickly. The cold moonlight brushed through the links. On the broken stones, dense insect feet spread over, and the pliers-like mouthparts hit a "crack" and made a long hiss.

The running toad looked back and stepped away frantically.

"Why is I so unlucky?"
