I am doing meritorious deeds in Liaozhai

Chapter 76 Exam
But the little demon who has opened up his wits can't do without education.

"Dabai, little orange!"

Big White Goose and Little Pang Ju, who were drooling by the cooking stove, turned their heads, and saw their amiable master took out a pen and paper from nowhere.

"I haven't tested what the school learned yesterday!" Song Yushan said with a smile: "There is still a while before dinner, just to test you."

The big white goose was dumbfounded. It was going out today, but it didn't review much after class yesterday.

I heard that he had to walk a long way this time, and he didn't even bring his favorite small satchel, and left all his textbooks at the house.

No matter how much he loves to read, such an unexpected exam still makes the big white goose heartbroken.

The most important thing is that if you do poorly in the exam, this month's copper reward will be gone.

The little orange cat tries to pass the test: "Meow ~"

Song Yushan stuffed the pen into its claws: "Come on!"

The big white goose knew it couldn't escape, so it had no choice but to grab the pen.

"Write down the four sentences of the "San Zi Jing" learned yesterday."

The big white goose bit the tip of the pen, barely wrote two and a half sentences, and circled several words, forgetting how to write them.

The little orange cat didn't start writing for a long time, and the ink dripped onto the paper, smudged into a small ink blob, and quickly wiped it with its paws, the pink paw pads were all black.

Qiu Niang was attracted to look this way frequently, seeing that the big white goose and the orange cat were really gesturing on the paper with a pen, not looking like they were joking, so she couldn't help asking:

"Miss Song, do these geese and cats really know how to write? Have you read the Three Character Classic?"

She hadn't read a book, so she couldn't understand what was written on the paper.

Song Yushan made a surprise attack just to get Qiu Niang's attention!

Qiu Niang is very guarded, the matter of the fish demon should be a secret in her heart, if she asked directly, she might not be able to tell, so she could only use this method.

"Dabai is not an ordinary goose, and little orange is not an ordinary cat. They are all enlightened mortal monsters. They are so smart that they have almost finished learning the Three Character Classic," Song Yushan said.

"Demon?" Qiu Niang subconsciously glanced at He Zhong.

The little carp demon who was following the boat from afar couldn't help but wag his tail when he heard this, and got a little closer. At this time, he showed his head, and his beautiful scales were very conspicuous in the sunlight.

"I am a monk, and after they followed me to study, they all became wise. There is no difference between a demon and a baby who have just developed their wisdom. They need to be taught well before they can understand the truth of being a demon. This is also good for their cultivation." Song Yushan said.

"Cultivator?" Qiu Niang is one of the few people in Fushui County who has seen the prosperity of the county and knows the existence of monks. People in the county always call monks respectful as immortal masters!

However, she has been on the water all year round, and the news comes from the passengers on the boat. It has never been heard that Fushui County also has an immortal teacher.

Hearing that the immortal master knows the magic of immortality and takes killing demons and demons as her duty, Qiu Niang said nervously, "Since the young lady is an immortal master, why didn't she eliminate demons and teach them how to read instead?"

Song Yushan took the opportunity to express his determination: "There are good and bad people, and there are also good and bad monsters. The evil should be eliminated. If you have never done evil, why should you eliminate it?"

Among the monks, there should not be many extreme people who kill monsters when they see them, right?At least they practice "Moon Blossom Heart Method", many of them like to raise monsters and pets to protect the way.

"Miss Song is right, there are wicked people among people, and there are good monsters among demons." Qiu Niang said.

Song Yushan accepted it as soon as she saw it. Although Qiu Niang still didn't tell the story of the fish demon frankly in the end, she had already left an introduction.

If the fish demon intends to study in the future, Niang Qiu will come to her.

It's enough to do this.

Judging from the situation of the big white goose and the little orange cat, it is not easy to teach a wise little demon to benefit them, and it takes a lot of time and energy.

Up to now, I have not earned much merit from teaching them, and there has been no progress for a long time.

Enlightenment is not a one-day effort.

Song Yushan is happy to teach demons how to read and understand, but he has not reached the point where he insists on reading with him when he sees a demon. What he pays attention to is voluntary and resignation.

But right now, the test situation of the big white goose and the little orange cat is worse than she expected.

She was a little absent-minded in class yesterday, and Song Yushan could understand that it was easier to get distracted the day before she went to sleep, but this did not prevent her from reminding her about the little education today, so as not to lose her mind when playing outside these few days.

The two monsters listened to the training with their heads bowed, and their excitement about going out a little less.

Jin Da, who was holding the pole on behalf of Qiuniang, watched this scene with lingering fear.

Fortunately, he has memorized the "Three Character Classics" before, and he is good at basic literacy and arithmetic. He only needs to listen to the lady's lectures and learn some principles. He doesn't need to take the exam with the two little mortal monsters.

"Okay, this time I won't deduct money for the time being. I will test you again after returning home. If this is still the case, then I will not be polite." Song Yushan said.

When the big white goose and the little orange cat heard that there was still another chance, they nodded repeatedly and breathed a sigh of relief.

No way, although they regard the young lady as their own master in their hearts, the young lady is unwilling.

She always said that they are equal, not masters and demon pets, no one has to listen to others, be their own masters, and control their own lives.

Now they are unable to face the wind and rain outside, so the lady is willing to raise them, take them to practice, teach them to read, and master the survival skills of "human beings", but they can't eat and drink for free, and need to pay a corresponding price.

The big white goose paid for its own eggs, but the little orange cat is temporarily incapable and unable to help, so it still owes it.

The lady said that in the future they will be capable, and if they want to leave the lady to go outside, they can come and go freely without being restrained.

The big white goose's daily bran dry food, and the little orange cat's hunting in the back garden are all free, no extra copper is needed.

In the past, if they wanted to eat delicious food, they had to spend their own money and go to the street to buy it.

Later, they were greedy for Uncle Jin's cooking, so the lady made a rule that if you pay five coppers a day, Uncle Jin can take care of their meals for a day.

In addition to the daily school exams, if the grades are up to standard, the lady will reward five coins. If you want more, you can only find a way to earn them yourself.

Like the big white goose, there is a job in the bookstore to supervise the self-study of the scholars, and there is a monthly bonus. If it fails a test, it will not affect it much, and it will not even pay for the meal.

The little orange cat can't do it, it hasn't found other ways to earn extra money by working part-time!
Eating Uncle Jin's meals at home is cheap and delicious. I searched the entire Fushui County and couldn't find another place that can manage a day's meals with only five coppers.

Hunting and eating raw food is survival, and paying for food cooked by Uncle Jin is enjoyment.

Once you enjoy it, you can't leave it.

The little orange cat gets dizzy when it sees the words, and it is difficult to read. If it weren't for this daily stutter, it would have given up long ago.

Today's test is so bad, if it deducts the copper, it will not be able to eat Uncle Jin's food for a few days, but fortunately there is another chance.
