Zhou Heihu ran out of the courtyard, "We walked to the door of Master Song's house and met Master Song who fainted. The Song family asked us to help, and Sister-in-law Lin went to see Master Song."

He looked at Li Shen and then at Zhou Heiniu, "Hey, Brother Musheng, Heiniu, why are you here in Qinjia Village?"

"Brother Mu Sheng was coming to Qinjia Village, so I drove him in a donkey cart." Zhou Heiniu said.

After the donkey cart stopped, the two brothers helped Li Shen get out of the car.

"You guys wait outside, I'll go to Master Song's house to have a look." Li Shen nodded towards the two brothers and entered Song's house.

In the courtyard of the Song family, there is a large room on the left. Through the window, you can clearly see some tables and chairs in the room.

There is a plaque hanging at the door, which reads "Qinjiacun School".

Li Shen entered the main room on crutches.

In a side room on the east side, several people were talking, their voices anxious and crying.

Lin Xirou's voice comforted them, "I have given the old man some medicine and he will wake up after a while. By the way, what medicine did he take before he became ill?"

"Take these medicines."

"...You can take those medicines when you are not fainting. If you fainted today, you can't take that. Take this from me, three times a day in the morning, noon and evening. When he recovers, he can take those medicines to recuperate."

"Thank you, Mrs. Lin."

"You're welcome."

After a while, Lin Xirou, accompanied by the Song family, walked out of the house.

When she saw Li Shen coming, she was surprised and asked, "Hey, Musheng, why are you here?"

"I was passing by and saw Hei Hu sitting at the door. He said you were treating Master Song, so I came to take a look." Li Shen said with a smile.

The Song family were either old, sick, or women. They did not participate in the fight between the two villages that day, so they had not seen Li Shen.

But I heard from the villagers that the handsome young man with a foreign accent and a cane was the "Uncle Qitang" of the county magistrate.

Mrs. Song and Song Dalang came forward to greet Li Shen together, "It turns out to be Mr. Mulang. You guys are polite now."

"Fellows from the countryside don't need to be so polite." Li Shen raised his hands towards them and then looked into the room, "How is Mr. Song's illness? I heard that children from several nearby villages are studying here. He is ill. , the children no longer study."

Mrs. Song asked Li Shen to sit down and sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. Alas, he's old and has a lot of problems. I'm afraid he won't be able to teach anymore. Something happened to my family again..."

"Mother!" Song Dalang quickly interrupted Mrs. Song.

Mrs. Song glanced at Li Shen, immediately shut up, and called her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Song, to bring tea, and asked Dalang Song to bring the consultation fee to Lin Xirou.

Li Shen thanked her, sat down, and chatted with Mrs. Song.

How many acres of land does the family cultivate? What is their usual income?

Because of his status, Mrs. Song answered all questions.

Lin Xirou blinked and couldn't understand what Li Shen was doing. She had already seen Master Song's illness and she was leaving. Why didn't Li Shen leave?

At this time, the seven or eight-year-old grandson of the Song family ran over to Master Song with a book in his hand, "Grandpa, I forgot how to pronounce the word for the article you asked me to memorize."

Sister-in-law Song hurriedly grabbed him and whispered, "Bao'er, grandpa is sick. He just took medicine and fell asleep. Don't wake him up."

"Oh, by the way, mother, how do you pronounce this word?" The youngest grandson of the Song family handed the book to Sister Song to read.

Although Sister-in-law Song married into her husband's family, she had never studied, and she had no time to study while doing housework every day. She could recognize more characters than she could count with one hand.

"Mom doesn't recognize it. Bao'er, when your grandfather recovers from his illness, ask him to teach you."

"When will grandpa's illness get better?"

Sister-in-law Song is in trouble, the old man's illness is caused by anger.If the enemy keeps making trouble, the old man's illness will not be cured.

"It'll be fine in a few days. You can go and play with the big guy next door."

"Da Niu doesn't recognize it either." Song Baosheng frowned.

"Show me, which word?" Li Shen stretched out his hand towards Song Baosheng.

Song Baosheng looked at Li Shen and blinked his big black eyes, "Do you know the words?"

Lin Xirou smiled slightly, such a simple child.

The faces of the Song family all changed, and they pulled Song Baosheng, "You can't ask that, it's against the rules." They apologized to Li Shen together.

Li Shen smiled and said, "Children's words are unbridled, no problem." He took Song Baosheng's book, "Which word is it? Let me take a look?"

"This, one word, two words, soil, what does it mean?" Song Baosheng scratched his hair.

"This is Qi, the sound of Qi is strange. It refers to the size of the field, fifty acres is one Qi." Li Shen said.

Song Baosheng grinned, "Oh, it's Qi, I remember it."

He ran away happily.

Lin Xirou looked at Li Shen, thinking that he had been idle and thinking all day long, and said, "Musheng, you can also read, how about you take over Master Song's school?"

He just checked Master Song's condition.

The old man has severe coronary heart disease.

She is nearly seventy years old and can no longer work hard. Just now she was asked if she knew any scholars who she wanted to hand over to the school.

She thought of Li Shen at that time.

Fortunately, Li Shen came.

Li Shen didn't know Master Song's condition, nor Lin Xirou's conversation with Master Song. He glanced at the Song family, "Rourou, wouldn't I be stealing Master Song's job?"

Mrs. Song and Song Dalang waved their hands together, "No, no, no, our old man is very ill. Several doctors have said that he can no longer work hard. I don't know if he can survive until next year if he rests. How can he teach students?" ? If Mulang Junru doesn’t mind, just take over the school.”

Li Shen looked at the Song family and said, "Grandma Song, what do Master Song mean? School is his lifelong concern, and I want to discuss it with him."

Mrs. Song waved her hand, "He took medicine and fell asleep. He also told Madam Lin just now that he would like to ask Madam Lin to find someone who is willing to take over his school. There is no need to discuss with him."

"Old woman—" Master Song's voice shouted from the bedroom.

"Ah, he's awake." Mrs. Song got up and hurriedly walked towards the bedroom.

"Which young man wants to take over my study hall? I want to talk to him." In the bedroom, Master Song said weakly.

"You old man, the person you are speaking to is not a young man, but Mr. Mulang from Tianfeng Village, who is Mrs. Lin's husband." Mrs. Song corrected her.

"Ah? Help me up quickly, I...I'll go out to meet Mr. Mulang."

Li Shen stood up and said, "Master Song, there is no need to get up. Mu came in to see you."

He also walked into the bedroom on crutches.

Lin Xirou saw him getting up and followed him.

Dalang Song and Sister-in-law Song also walked in, "Mr. Mulang, the patient's room is full of turbid air. I'm afraid it's suffocating you. You'd better sit outside."

Li Shen waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, I'm in good health."

Master Song, who was as thin as a dead tree, got up with difficulty and wanted to get out of bed.
