Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er were playing in the courtyard. In fact, it was Little Yu' er who was playing while Little Crane Grass was watching from the side. The toys prepared by Old Gate were indeed very fun. Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er had never played with them before. But to be honest, these things were really not attractive to Little Crane Grass.
In the past two years, Little Crane Grass didn't waste his time. He didn't seem to have done anything other than reading and writing. However, whether it was Old Men or Tian Niu, they would never understand what Little Crane Grass could learn from the books he read.
Using history as a mirror, one could know the rise and fall of the world. Although Little Crane Grass had not reached that level, he had seen the status of ordinary soul bearers from those history books.
To put it simply, they had no status. Soul bearers were the most numerous people in the entire Soul World, but they were also the people with the least status. And Little Crane Grass was very clear that his grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, and everyone in the village were all soul bearers. They were also the group of people with the least status.
Before he learned how to read, Little Crane Grass didn't really understand why the people in the village wanted him to become a plant master so much. After learning how to read and reading those history books, Little Crane Grass finally understood why.
The people in the village did not hope that he could help them much. They only hoped that they could get some better plant seeds through him so that they could live a better life. It was that simple.
It was precisely because he knew this that Little Crane Grass worked even harder. It was impossible for ordinary people to read so many books in such a short period of time, let alone write all those books once. But he did it.
At the same time when he knew these reasons, Little Crane Grass also felt the pressure. It was precisely because of this pressure that a seven-year-old child like him had matured far beyond his peers.
It was both a good thing and a bad thing for a child to mature prematurely. The good thing was that they could plan their lives earlier and know what they wanted to do in the future earlier. Then, they could work hard towards this goal. The bad thing was that they lost the childhood they should have.
Childhood was the most important step in one's life. Losing one's childhood would leave behind countless regrets. However, Little Crane Grass had to do this for her grandparents, for her parents, and for the entire village.
When Old Men Qing returned to his courtyard, he saw Little Crane Grass playing with Little Yu 'er. Frankly speaking, Little Crane Grass was coaxing Yu' er to play while Men Qing was sitting at the side watching the two.
The old gatekeeper looked at Little Crane Grass and couldn't help but smile. He loudly said: "Yu 'er, Bao' er, I'm back."
When the two little ones heard the old man's voice, they raised their heads. Little Yu 'er looked at the old man with a happy expression. She jumped up and said, "Grandpa Men, you're back." As she spoke, she ran towards the old man.
The old gatekeeper looked at Little Yu 'er's appearance and squatted down with a chuckle. "Yu' er, be good. Run slowly."
Little Yu 'er hugged the old man and said, "Grandpa Men, thank you. Those toys are very fun." Then she kissed the old man's face, causing him to laugh.
At this time, Little Crane Grass also came over. He looked at the old man and said, "Grandpa Men, are you done with your work?"
The old man chuckled and said, "I'm done. Are you two hungry? If you're hungry, then Grandpa will take you to eat, okay? "
Yu 'er said, "No, Grandpa Men, Yu' er isn't hungry. I don't want to eat."
The old man looked at the sky and saw that it wasn't time to eat. He turned his head to Little Crane Grass and said, "Bao 'er, where do you want to go to play? Grandpa will take you there in a while, okay? "
Little Crane Grass thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Grandpa Men, I want to read some books. I've already read all the books in Teacher's place. They're not interesting. I want to find two books that I haven't read before."
When the old man heard Little Crane Grass, he smiled and said, "You can't always read books. You should go and play. How about this, tomorrow we'll go to Juyun Mountain. Juyun City got its name because of Juyun Mountain. Every year, you can see a strange scene of wind and clouds gathering on the mountain. These few days are the best time to see this scene. We can go and take a look."
Hearing the old man, Little Crane Grass became spirited. He looked at the old man and said, "Grandpa Men, what's wind and clouds gathering on the mountain? I've seen it in a book before. The book only said that you can see how the mountain gathers the wind and clouds, but there's no description of the scenery. "
The old man looked at Little Crane Grass curiously and said, "You've actually seen a description of Juyun Mountain? What book did you see it in? There's also a book that recorded the situation of Juyun Mountain? "
Little Crane Grass thought for a moment and said, "I saw it in a book called Saber's Travels by a Plant Master called Thunder. Saber's Travels is mainly about the Saber Spirit Country. There's also a description of the local customs and customs as well as the unique scenery of each place. In his book, there's a lot of famous places, but the descriptions aren't very detailed."
The old man looked at Little Crane Grass in surprise and said, "Bao 'er, how many books have you read?"
Little Crane Grass thought for a moment before shaking his head and said, "I really don't remember. I'm afraid there are hundreds of books. In any case, I've read all of the books that the two Teachers have. Grandpa, do you have a library here? Can I go and read some books? "
The old man looked at Little Crane Grass and sighed. Then he gently patted Little Crane Grass' shoulder and said, "Bao 'er, don't work too hard. You're still a child. When it's time to play, you should play."
Little Crane Grass looked at the old man and didn't say anything. The old man looked at Little Crane Grass and knew that whatever he said would be useless. He sighed and turned to Men Qing and said, "Men Qing, go back and tell the family library to get a pass for Bao 'er." Men Qing nodded.
The Liu Family's library had a large collection of books. There were a lot of rare and unique books. However, not everyone could enter the library. If one wanted to enter the library, then they must have a pass. If one didn't have a pass, then they wouldn't be able to enter.
Naturally, the pass wasn't difficult to get. As long as you're a member of the family, then you can get a pass. Even if you're a servant, you can get a pass. However, the pass can only allow you to read books in the library, you can't take the books out.
When Little Crane Grass heard the old man, he immediately became happy. The old man looked at Little Crane Grass and felt distressed. No one knew Little Crane Grass better than him. Although he and Little Crane Grass had only been together for a year, the two were very close. This was because when Little Crane Grass first went to school, he was the one who picked him up every day. Later on, although he returned to Juyun City, he still gave Little Crane Grass a lot of paper every year. In the beginning, he didn't know what the paper was for. But now that he looked at Little Crane Grass, he knew what it was for. This was the reason why he felt distressed for Little Crane Grass.
The old man looked at the sky, then he turned his head to Men Qing and said, "Men Qing, go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare some dishes for lunch. Right, don't eat fish. Little Bao and the others have been working on the boat for the past few days. There's no shortage of fish on the boat. I think they've eaten enough." Men Qing nodded, then he turned around and left.
The old man turned his head to Ling Dang and Cui Yu and said, "Ling Dang, Cui Yu, you two can go rest. There's no need for you to stay here." The two nodded, then they slowly left the courtyard. They were servants of the old man, so they usually lived here. But if the old man had a request, then they would leave the courtyard and rest elsewhere. The Liu Family had a special place for servants to rest.
After Ling Dang and Cui Yu left, the old man turned his head to Little Crane Grass and said, "Crane Grass, after you go back, go and learn from the Medicine Master. Grandfather is a member of the Liu Family, and in the future, I'll always be a member of the Liu Family. The reason why I don't want you to say that you're my grandson and granddaughter is because I don't want you to enter the Liu Family. However, the Liu Family has helped you a lot. If the Liu Family is in trouble in the future, and you have the ability, then please help the Liu Family.
Little Crane Grass nodded and said, "Grandfather, rest assured. I'll remember the help that the Liu Family has given me. I also know that Grandfather doesn't want me to join the Liu Family for my own good. If I have the chance in the future, I'll definitely repay the Liu Family."
The old gatekeeper nodded happily, but Little Yu 'er looked at the two of them in confusion. She didn't quite understand what they were talking about. After all, Little Yu' er was just an ordinary child and couldn't be compared to the little crane grass.
The three of them stayed in the yard for a while before Liu Qing came with two servants. These two servants were holding two food boxes in their hands. After entering the yard, they immediately saluted the old gate master and said, "Greetings, Chief Gate Master." The old man nodded and waved his hand. The two servants bowed once and set up a small table in the courtyard. There were a total of six dishes and a small bowl of rice. The rice used for the rice was of good quality. From afar, one could smell a strong rice fragrance. It was a rare good thing.
After the two servants set up the food, they bowed and left. The old man turned his head to Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er and said, "Bao' er, Yu 'er, come and eat. Men Qing, you can stay here and eat." Men Qing complied and didn't refuse, he sat down.
Little Crane Grass and Little Yu 'er also sat at the table and watched Men Qing prepare the food for them. The two little ones were very sensible. Although Little Yu' er was young, she had been trained to be independent from Xiao Ling Sha. Now, it wasn't a problem for her to eat alone. So, as long as the food was served, they could eat by themselves. They didn't need anyone to take care of them at all.
The old gatekeeper was old and couldn't eat too much. However, when he saw the little crane grass and little Yu 'er eating so happily, he unconsciously ate an extra bowl of rice. This meal was the most delicious meal that the old gatekeeper had eaten in the past few days.
Just after the meal, there was a sudden knock on the door of the old man's small courtyard. Men Qing immediately went to the door and opened it. When he saw Liu Yu and Liu Qing, he immediately turned his head to the old man and said, "Third Grandpa, it's Captain Liu Yu and Shopkeeper Liu Ji."
The old man nodded and said, "Let them in." When Men Qing heard this, he quickly stepped aside and said to the two of them, "Please, Third Grandpa is in the courtyard." After the two of them thanked Men Qing, they entered the courtyard.
