Before long, two adults and one child arrived in front of a small courtyard. The courtyard wasn't very big, it had walls made of blue bricks. The door was also open, even a carriage wouldn't be able to enter. On the door was a plaque with the words "Liu Family School" written on it.
When the Old Gatekeeper brought Tian Niu and Little Crane Grass to the front of the school, he could faintly hear the sound of people reading. The Old Gatekeeper went forward and knocked on the door.
The sound of reading stopped for a moment, and then the door opened with a creak. A middle-aged man in his thirties stood in the door. He wore a long robe and had a beard. Above his head, there was a book hanging.
When the man saw the Old Gatekeeper, he quickly said, "Uncle Gatekeeper, you're here."
The Old Gatekeeper nodded, then he said, "Yu Shu, this is the child. Today, he will be coming to your school. You need to take good care of him."
The middle-aged man called Yu Shu looked at Little Crane Grass who was standing beside the Old Gatekeeper. When he saw the soul of Little Crane Grass, his eyes couldn't help but light up. Then he immediately said to the Old Gatekeeper, "Yes, Uncle Gatekeeper can rest assured. Yu Shu will do his best to teach him."
The Old Gatekeeper nodded, then he turned his head to look at the timid Little Crane Grass. He squatted down and smiled, "Little Crane Grass, from now on, this will be the teacher who will teach you how to read. You need to learn well, do you hear me?"
Little Crane Grass was an obedient child. Moreover, he could faintly feel a sense of familiarity from the Old Gatekeeper. Therefore, he nodded and said, "Yes, Grandpa Gatekeeper can rest assured. I will certainly learn well."
The Old Gatekeeper nodded, then he turned his head to Yu Shu and said, "Yu Shu, I've brought the child to you. You can lead him in. I won't be going in, I'll pick him up in the evening." Yu Shu nodded, then the Old Gatekeeper led Tian Niu away. The Old Gatekeeper brought Tian Niu to the Liu Family School today, not to let him come in contact with the Liu Family, but to let him recognize the Liu Family. If something happens in the future, Tian Niu can also come here to pick up Little Crane Grass.
Tian Niu also knew this. Moreover, he also knew that those who could read were all very arrogant. If he took the initiative to talk to them, they might just ignore him.
After the two left, Yu Shu pulled Little Crane Grass's hand and entered the courtyard. The courtyard didn't look very big from the outside, but the inside wasn't small. Upon entering the courtyard, one could see that it was several hundred square meters in size. The courtyard was paved with bluestone. On the side of the courtyard, there was a set of stone tables and chairs. Other than that, there wasn't anything else.
Other than the hundred courtyard walls, the other three sides of the courtyard were all houses. The door of the main house was open, and no one could be seen inside. There were only tables and chairs. It seemed to be a living room.
The windows of the rooms on both sides were also open, and there were a few children sitting inside. They were craning their necks to look outside. Yu Shu brought little crane grass to the left wing, pushed open the door, and walked in.
Inside the room, there were a few bookcases. The bookcases weren't very tall, and behind the bookcases were chairs. On the chairs sat a few children. The clothes these children wore weren't very good. They were only coarse clothes, but they were very clean.
In these few small courtyards, the oldest was only around seven years old, and the youngest was about the same as Little Crane Grass, around five years old. Each and every one of them looked at Little Crane Grass curiously.
Little Crane Grass glanced at them. On top of these children's heads were their soul objects, and their soul objects were all kinds of daily life items. They were all soul objects.
And when these children saw the soul object on top of Little Crane Grass's head, they were all stunned. Then, a trace of reverence flashed through their eyes, and their eyes flickered.
Yu Shu glanced at those few little fellows, and said in a deep voice, "You guys listen well, he's called Tian Crane Grass. From today onwards, he will also be learning here. You guys don't bully him, and don't fight. Do you hear me?"
Those few children hurriedly jumped down from their chairs, stood beside the table, and bowed to Yu Shu, saying, "Yes."
Yu Shu nodded, then pointed to an empty table at the back of the second row, and said to little crane grass, "Tian Crane Grass, go sit there. The books on the table are for you to use, you can't damage them."
Little Crane Grass bowed to Yu Shu and said, "Yes, sir." These etiquette were all taught by Tian Niu at home. Otherwise, how would a village boy like him know these things.
Yu Shu saw that little crane grass was actually so polite, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart. However, he didn't show it on his face, and only nodded. Only then did little crane grass go to that table and sit down. Soon after, he took out a set of brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. This set of brush, ink, paper, and inkstone was much smaller than ordinary brushes, and was specially prepared for children. It was stored in a small box, and was very convenient to carry.
After Yu Shu looked at the little crane grass and sat down, she looked at the other children and said in a deep voice, "The few of you have already been learning from me for a period of time. Today, I will teach you ten new words. You must learn them. Tomorrow, I will test you."
Those few children responded, and raised their spirits. Yu Shu turned and walked to the front of the book, where there was a curtain. Yu Shu went forward and opened the curtain, inside was a wooden frame. Inside the wooden frame, there were ten large square pieces of wood, and each piece of wood had a word written on it. Below these pieces of wood, there was a new piece of wood, and all of the wood pieces were square, with a side length of about 40 centimeters.
Yu Shu pointed to those pieces of wood that already had words on it and said, "Read after me, thunder, thunder as in thunder!" Those children also said in unison, "Thunder, thunder as in thunder." Little Crane Grass also read along with Yu Shu, but he didn't know why, but he felt like he could recognize those words. However, it felt like it was being blocked by a layer of gauze. He just couldn't read those words. Now that Yu Shu read it, he immediately remembered the word 'Lightning'. Moreover, he also knew how to write it.
Yu Shu wrote down those ten words for the students, and after letting them read it, she picked up a pen, and demonstrated how to write those words on the wooden board. Those few students naturally followed, but they also held a pen similar to little crane grass, and wrote those words on the paper.
Little crane grass naturally followed suit, he also held a pen, and wrote those words on the paper. He was different from those few children, when those few children picked up a pen to write, they would always be somewhat stumbling, the first few words written were even more unreadable, but little crane grass was different, he picked up a pen, and wrote those ten words on the paper in one go. Moreover, the writing was very orderly, although it couldn't be said to be as charming as those famous calligraphers, it was still much better than those few children.
Yu Shu had been paying attention to little crane grass, whether a child had the talent for learning or not, it could be seen, he just wanted to see how little crane grass's performance was. Now that he saw little crane grass actually wrote those ten words in one go, he couldn't help but be stunned, and quickly walked to little crane grass's writing table. When he saw the words on little crane grass's writing table, he couldn't help but be stunned, then his eyes lit up, he turned to little crane grass and said, "Field crane grass, you knew how to write before?"
Little crane grass immediately jumped down from the chair, and said to Yu Shu, "Replying to teacher, I don't know."
Yu Shu's face sunk, and said, "Don't lie, you really don't know how to write?"
Little crane grass was a child after all, seeing that Yu Shu seemed to be angry, he was even more afraid in his heart, but he really didn't know how to write before, so he stuttered, "Replying, replying to teacher, I really, really didn't know how to write before."
Yu Shu looked at little crane grass's appearance, knew that he wasn't lying, and couldn't help but nod his head, and said, "Alright, sit down, practice these few words until you're familiar with them." Little crane grass responded, sat down, and wrote the words in an orderly manner. And the way Yu Shu looked at little crane grass had completely changed, he already thought that little crane grass was a genius.
Yu Shu then continued to look at the words written by those few children and continuously corrected their mistakes. However, his mind was completely placed on the little crane grass.
Two hours later, Yu Shu let those few children practice the words that he taught them in the past, while he came to little crane grass's side, and picked up a book on little crane grass's writing table. This book looked a bit old, but it was still maintained very well. There were four words written on the book, but little crane grass didn't recognize them.
Yu Shu looked at little crane grass, and said, "This is a book that every child of my Liu Family who has reached the age of entering school must learn, the Liu Family's rules, you must remember them."
Little crane grass nodded his head, only then did Yu Shu began to teach little crane grass to read word by word. He didn't teach very quickly, and after only teaching a few words, he stopped, and let little crane grass slowly write it down, then let him read it repeatedly, so as to deepen his impression. But what he didn't know was that he only read it once, and little crane grass had already memorized all of the words on it, so writing it out wasn't a problem at all.
Like Yu Shu, who taught students the rules of the family in the first book, in the Soul World, it wasn't a minority. Some of the family's disciples and children of the family, after entering school, the first book that they had to learn was almost all about the family rules, just to let them remember, and not violate the family rules. In the Soul World, the family rules of a large family were even more important than the national law.
When Yu Shu was teaching little crane grass, the more he taught, the more he liked it, because he discovered that this child was really too smart. Any word, as long as he read it once, little crane grass would be able to remember it immediately, and writing it down, this was absolutely an ability that couldn't be missed, absolutely a genius. After teaching little crane grass close to a hundred words, Yu Shu finally stopped, but the way he looked at little crane grass had changed, his eyes were filled with admiration.
One taught, one learned, very quickly, it was close to noon, at this time, Yu Shu let the children stop, and then led the few children outside, and from the courtyard opposite them, a middle-aged man also walked out, behind this middle-aged man, there were also a few children, but the age of these children was much older than little crane grass.
That middle-aged man swept his eyes, and saw little crane grass, he said to Yu Shu, "Yu Shu, this is the person that Uncle Men sent over?"
Yu Shu nodded his head and said, "Yes, he's called Crane Field, the book was just sent over today."
The middle-aged man nodded his head, and said in a deep voice, "How's his aptitude?"
Yu Shu smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Liu Shun, bring them to eat." From behind that middle-aged man, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child walked out, responded, then turned his head and said, "All of you, follow me, the big one leads the small one." After saying that, he walked towards the backyard.
Seeing that Liu Shun led everyone away, that middle-aged man then said to Yu Shu, "What's wrong, Yu Shu? Could it be that the child's aptitude is very good? "
