"Sure enough, where are you going?"
The next morning, Liu Yue`er saw her son holding a small bamboo basket and was about to go out. She quickly stopped him and asked.
"Mom, I'm going to catch locusts with Iron Egg and the others!"
Hu Guo`Er turned around and smiled at his mother.
He was on vacation this time. Seeing that his friends in the village were catching locusts all over the place, and hearing that the locusts could be sold for money at the Yanhuang Academy, he could not sit still after finishing his homework at home.
"Sure enough, stop!"
Liu Yue`er heard that her son was going to catch locusts and quickly stopped him. She walked over and said, "Sure enough, you're a student of Yanhuang College now. How can you go to the fields to catch locusts ~? Aren't you embarrassing your husband by doing this? Besides, we don't lack money now. You'd better not go. Rest well at home or prepare for your future homework ~! "
The silly child from before had now become the envy of the entire Han Village. It was all because Hu Guo`Er was admitted to Yanhuang College. Liu Yue`er treasured her son very much.
Hu Guo`Er opened his mouth and said, "Mom, Iron Egg is also in Yanhuang College. Why can he catch locusts but I can't ~?"
"Uh, this …"
Liu Yue`er was speechless.
"Sure enough, are you done? We should go ~! "
At this moment, Iron Egg's voice came from outside. Hu Guo`Er quickly stretched his neck and said loudly, "Coming, coming, Iron Egg bro, I'm coming ~!"
He then looked at Liu Yue`er and said, "Mom, I'm leaving with Iron Egg bro now. I'll be back by noon ~!"
He didn't wait for Liu Yue`er's permission and ran out like a wisp of smoke.
Liu Yue`er could only stare at her son's back.
"Hey ~! You silly woman, your son didn't dare to go out and hid at home every day. You secretly cried every day. Now that your son is willing to go out and play with others, you don't want to. You're really … "
Hu Hanyun, who was fetching water from the well in the east corner of the courtyard, said to his wife angrily.
Liu Yue`er glared and retorted, "How can it be the same? Our son is a student of Yanhuang College now, a scholar! How can it be the same as before? He has to maintain the dignity of a scholar ~! "
When Hu Hanyun heard this, although he was happy in his heart, his mouth said carelessly, "Hey! Young Master didn't say anything, but you silly woman ~! Tie Dan 'er is Young Master's personal disciple. If he can catch locusts, how can our son be more precious than him? "
Liu Yuee was a little flustered and exasperated. She snorted and said, "I don't care. Anyway, my son is definitely the best. I can't be bothered with you, old thing. I'm going to the chicken farm on the mountain to pick up eggs ~! Sigh! It would be even better if I could pick up money ~! "
Hu Hanyun was speechless. A few days ago, in Plum Village, Second Master Liu's chicken farm, seven chickens had gone missing, but there were three strings of money on the ground. Once the news spread, it attracted the envy of many farmers. Everyone said that Second Master Liu's family had encountered a group of righteous thieves who stole things and left money behind.
Seven chickens, three strings of money, no matter how you looked at it, Second Master Liu made a profit, so many people hoped that they could meet such thieves.
"Come back quickly, don't forget to come back at noon to cook ~!"
Hu Hanyun shouted at the top of his voice.
"Hey, hey ~! Got it, got it ~! "
Liu Yue`er promised without turning her head.
"Sigh, I don't know when this child will come back! He said he would come back last month, but he didn't. I don't know if this child is doing well outside! "
It was said that mothers were closer to their sons, and fathers were closer to their daughters. This saying seemed to be true. Hu Hanyun looked at the empty courtyard and muttered to himself.
…
"Sigh! Iron Egg Bro, why do you think Yamachō collected so many grasshoppers? Don't tell me Yamachō also likes to fight grasshoppers ~? "
In the fields of the Han Village, Hu Sure was looking for locusts on the ground while casually chatting with Iron Egg next to him.
The small bamboo basket on his body was already filled with locusts. It seemed that he had a good harvest this morning!
Hearing Hu Sure's "stupid cute" words, Iron Egg couldn't help but laugh. "Sure enough, you are thinking too much. How could Master like to fight grasshoppers? Lan 'er might like it ~!"
Hu Sure asked again, "Then Iron Egg Bro, why do you think Yamachō collected so many grasshoppers?"
Iron Egg lowered his head and thought for a while. Suddenly, his body shook, and he looked up and said meaningfully, "Maybe, it's to cook ~!"
"What? Cook ~? Grasshoppers can be cooked ~? "
Hu Sure's eyes almost popped out when he heard this. He asked incredulously.
Iron Egg Bro's face became calm. He said lightly, "Why can't they be cooked? Not only can they be cooked, but you have also eaten them recently ~!"
Hu Sure was shocked, "Ah ~? I have eaten them recently ~? Iron Egg Bro, are you saying that I have eaten grasshopper meat recently ~? Retch ~! Where did I eat it? "
Iron Egg Bro sighed and shook his head, "Sigh, not only did you eat it, but I also ate it ~! The 'Meteoric Rise' in the Academy was made with these grasshoppers! "
He just realized it, but what could he do even if he did? He had already eaten what he wanted to eat, and Li Zexuan was his master. He couldn't say anything and could only swallow his bitterness.
"No way ~? 'Meteoric Rise' is made of grasshoppers ~? Retch ~! But it doesn't look like it at all ~! "
Hu Sure's face turned pale. He felt nauseous and said in disbelief.
"Oh, that only means that my master's technique is brilliant! 'Meteoric Rise' is definitely made of grasshoppers. You don't have to doubt it. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain where all the grasshoppers went! "
Iron Egg Bro straightened his back, but he didn't feel nauseous. His face was calm.
"Ah ~? Then what should I do? Recently, I am addicted to eating 'Meteoric Rise'. Iron Egg Bro, you are telling me that this thing is made of grasshoppers. Should I continue to eat it in the future ~? "
Hu Sure enough, he was in a dilemma.
…
A few days later, the weather was cloudy.
The military training had been going on for more than half a month. Everything was going according to the established procedures. The students were becoming more and more disciplined, and so were the instructors. Therefore, Li Zexuan rarely paid attention to the Academy. Naturally, he couldn't get up in the morning and began to sleep in.
"Lord Jue, Lord Jue, the imperial court's fleet is back. They are almost at the pier by the Murky River ~!"
