Chapter 72
Li Qiu has lived for decades since he learned to read and write. He has never seen a thousand children like Yun Jing, but he has seen eight hundred. , the precocious he has also seen...

But to be honest, he hadn't seen many situations like Yunjing who combined multiple situations into one body.

Originally, he had thought of going through the motions at first, but now after a short exchange with Yun Jing, in view of Yun Jing's performance, he was a little bit more serious in his heart.

Looking at Yunjing seriously, he asked repeatedly with a kind smile: "Is it true that no one taught you to say that?"

"No," Yun Jing answered calmly shaking his head.

No one had taught him to say such things before, so Yun Jing was naturally not afraid of Li Qiu's questioning, and he never even avoided his eyes when facing him.

As for whether his performance would be too different, Yun Jing thought about this question, but he still insisted on himself. After all, the world is big, and he may be a little bit special, but it is absolutely nothing in the world. It is impossible for Li Qiu If you don't know this, there's nothing you can do to avoid it.

It's not that Li Qiu is a fool, he can't believe that a farm boy in Yunjing can behave like this, he looked at Yunjing and said with a smile: "It's not a good thing for a child to lie, if you let me know those words, someone else taught you Yes, but you said you didn’t come to lie to me, then the next school exams won’t have to be carried out, and your wish to worship me as a teacher will never be possible.”

Deceiving people is not a good quality. As a scholar, Li Qiu said that although he does not have a deep understanding of evil, he definitely does not have any good impressions. Reading, literacy and learning often require a sincere heart. If the heart is not sincere, people will not be righteous. How can you understand the truth in the book?

Distorted understanding?
Maybe you can deceive others but not yourself. If a scholar has bad intentions from the beginning, and with knowledge in the future, it is certain that he will be more vicious than ten or hundreds of martial arts practitioners when he does bad things. That's why Li Qiu deliberately emphasized Yunjing Are you kidding yourself?

Perhaps Li Qiu was too harsh. After all, children's growth will be influenced by the teachings of their elders and the environment they live in. However, it is precisely because of this harshness that no one has been able to fall into his eyes as a disciple these years. one.

"Mr. Li, my Xiaojing has been sensible and well-behaved since he was a child, and he will not lie to you." Yunlin got up from the side and said to help, wanting to help Yunjing prove that he is really a good boy.

Li Qiu looked at him and smiled without saying anything. He motioned Yunlin to sit down and calm down. Then when Yunlin sat down nervously, he didn't worry about whether he told a lie or not when he looked at Yunjing. Changing the subject, he asked with a smile: "Xiaojing, right? Next is the real test. Are you ready?"

As soon as he said this, Yunlin and the others felt their hearts in their throats, they held their breath and dared not make a sound to disturb them.

Yun Jing was calm, nodded and said: "I'm ready, sir, please tell me."

"Well, the first question, you want to ask me to study as your teacher, so let me ask you, why are you studying?" Li Qiu looked at Yunjing seriously and asked, but nodded slightly in his heart. It is rare for Yun Jing to remain calm.

Hearing this question, Yun Jing was taken aback for a moment, thinking what was he going to take the school exam for, but that's it?
But after thinking about it, this question is not easy to answer. Everyone has a different answer for what they study for. For the same reason, different answers will lead to different results for Li Qiu.

Without answering immediately, Yunjing thought carefully about how to answer in his heart.

In fact, facing this problem at this moment, Yun Jing really wanted to say something to pretend to be a man of heaven and earth, and it would definitely be able to suppress Li Qiu, but it was just thinking about it, regardless of his current living environment. In addition to his knowledge, saying such things will only make people laugh, but in the final analysis, he himself does not have such noble and great sentiments, and he would blush and feel ashamed when he said those words.

Thoughts flickered, Yun Jing was not going to say anything about great goals, nor did he try to guess what kind of answer would satisfy Li Qiu, but followed his own heart and answered from his own point of view.

He raised his head to look at Li Qiu and said, "Sir, I study because I don't want to be blind!"

Hearing his answer, Li Qiu was stunned for a moment. He thought about what Yunjing would say about lofty ideals, but he never thought that it would be such an answer.

He said dumbly, "Why do you say that?"

After thinking about it, Yunjing said: "I heard from the old people in the village that after reading, you can read and understand books, and books record almost everything in the world. I lived in the countryside since I was a child, and even the town This is my second time here, I don't know what the world is like, but after I can read and write, I hope to understand the world from books, otherwise my world will always be as big as Xiaoxi Village, and I can't see it. To the bigger world, what's the difference between that and a blind man?"

To be reasonable, Yun Jing also knew that these words should not be said by his age and the knowledge of the environment, but he still said it. This is the most sincere thought in his heart. As for Li Qiu's thoughts, He didn't care too much, after all, if the apprenticeship is not successful, there may be no intersection with the other party in the future, so why should he care?If you succeed in apprenticeship, you will spend more time with each other in the future. If you are stumped, can you still pretend to be yourself all the time?It's better to show your true self from the beginning.

After listening to Yun Jing's answer, Li Qiu didn't care that he could say such mature words, instead he said with a smile on his face: "Many people used to come to me and wanted to ask me to be their teacher. My first question is They are all asked why they study, and their answers vary. Some say they want to honor their ancestors, some say they want to be named on the gold list, some say they want to change their destiny, some say they want to govern the country and the people, and some say they want to clarify their minds. Only you gave me a different and the most special answer, maybe this answer has something to do with your living environment, but it is sincere and honest, carefully considered, and even a little bit of a return to the basics, it is really eye-catching.”

Hearing his praise of Yunjing's answer, Yunlin and the others next to him beamed with joy. Does it mean that Yunjing satisfied him?Does it mean that Yunjing has hope to worship him as his teacher?
Although Yun Jing was also happy about Li Qiu's compliment, he knew it was not over yet, so he calmly looked at the other party and waited for the next sentence.

Then Li Qiu said: "You said that you study because you don't want to be blind. This is just your current thinking. I won't comment too much. After all, people's thinking will change with time. I'm asking you the second question. Before you answer me, can you read?"

Yunjing shook his head.

He has been in this world for more than six years, and this is the second time he has come to town. How can he have a chance to learn to read?

Seeing Yunjing shaking his head, this was beyond Li Qiu's expectations. He could speak those words eloquently, but he couldn't even read the words. This is really a bit unreasonable, but it is reasonable, after all, he lives in the country , How slim the chance of literacy can be imagined.

He also didn't feel that Yunjing was lying to him, this kind of thing would be clear with a little understanding of his energy.

Slightly frowning, Li Qiu shook his head and said, "You can't read, it's going to be difficult. In the past, those who came to me as apprentices didn't talk about learning, at least they were proficient in literary and ink, and it was easier to take the exam. In your situation..."

After a pause, he said, "Well, I will test you with two more questions. If I am satisfied, I will consider whether to accept you as an apprentice or not."

In fact, whether or not to accept disciples is entirely in Li Qiu's mind.

He himself does not want to accept apprentices, he is still learning, and he wants to go further, accepting apprentices will be very troublesome, most of those who came to apprentices in the past found excuses to send them away after he asked the first question. If you are a guest, you will continue if you really can't save face, so as not to make the other party look bad.

But not wanting to accept apprentices does not mean that he does not accept apprentices. If he really meets a suitable one, he doesn't mind accepting them. Otherwise, he simply spread the word that he would not accept apprentices. People come?
But now, Yun Jing was the first one he took the initiative to continue.

Yun Jing's words, calmness in dealing with things, and that kind of simple sincerity all surprised him unexpectedly.

In particular, Yunjing gave him an inexplicable sense of intimacy, which moved him a little.

If Yun Jing answered the next two questions satisfactorily, he would seriously consider whether to accept an apprentice.

"Excuse me, sir," Yun Jing nodded.

Smiling, Li Qiu said: "First of all, this question may be a bit cruel to you, and it may even be a little incomprehensible, so you have to think carefully before answering me. To be reasonable, I am a little hesitant to ask this right now. Question, because it is really embarrassing, the reason why I still ask is because I really want to hear your answer, listen, what I want to ask is, you are engaged now, right? Well, your status as a fiancée is not good enough for you, and at that time, there was a beautiful rich lady who fell in love with you and could help you in your fame and career. What should you do then? Continue Marry an engaged fiancée, or divorce and marry that beautiful rich lady for the sake of future?"

Hearing this question, Yun Jing said in his heart that he is really greedy... Oh no, cruel!

It's really cruel. This question is not only a test of xinxing, but also a test of will, and even a test of life!

To be honest, this question is a bit disgusting, but the fact is that many people in the world often face such a choice.

It is estimated that Li Qiu also realized this, so he hesitated before asking the question. He also deliberately emphasized that this question would be cruel or even embarrassing. Maybe he has experienced such a problem before...
