Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5460 Woodcutter
"He thinks you're crazy."

……

The woodcutter's words did not surprise the young scholar too much.

He had already guessed it.

.....
Although he guessed it, it did not prevent the young scholar from feeling unhappy after hearing it with his own ears.

"Gossip."

The young scholar's eyebrows were slightly stern.

He hates people who gossip the most.

....
The woodcutter shook his head.

"It's not their fault."

"Besides, you have to thank them."

"You broke into his house."

"He didn't kick you out either."

"They also took the initiative to help you find your family and friends."

"I have done my best for you."

……

The young scholar turned his face slightly to the side.

But the owner of the house told his brother that he was crazy.

....
Does anyone else need to tell me this?
The woodcutter curled his lips.

You will see it if you spend more time with young scholars.

……

The young scholar didn't seem to be fully aware that there was something wrong with his behavior.

Also.

The young scholar's entire attention was on the black monster.

How can I take care of other things?

……

Is it because the young scholar is too "persistent" and "meticulous"?
Or did the black monster do something to the young scholar?
The young scholar wanted to see the black monster again...

……

"elder brother."

The young scholar looked at the woodcutter and said seriously, "I am not crazy."

……

Faced with the young scholar's repeated emphasis, the woodcutter didn't know what his emotion was at this moment?
The young scholar is his younger brother.

They grew up together.

They understand each other.

And believe in each other.

He wanted to continue to believe in his brother.

but……

Many images of my younger brother emerged in my mind.

There are also many people who mentioned about my brother...

....
My brother fell in the heavy rain.

My brother looked crazy.

My brother insisted that the black monster was real.

Even though hardly anyone else saw the black monster.

……

My aunt saw that my brother seemed to be talking to someone in a room where no one else was.

The woman saw the same scene as her aunt.

My aunt said some unpleasant things.

Now it seems……

It actually seemed like a prophecy coming true.

……

My brother said a lot about black monsters.

Like...

It's as if the black monster is real.

Rather than my brother's imagination.

……

Maybe he should ask his wife's younger brother's children...

After all, that was one of the reasons why my brother insisted that the black monster was real.

However, the woodcutter dismissed the idea as soon as it came out.

I can't let others have the chance to know my brother's situation.

Even if the other person is a child.

It's not safe either.

Maybe……

There will be complications.

Not worth the candle.

……

My brother’s affairs should be confined to this family.

outsider……

They will not be as tolerant as they are towards their younger brother.

……

"younger brother."

The woodcutter even looked at the young scholar with some seriousness.

"Your own perception is useless."

“It’s what other people think that matters.”

"If you still want to get your name on the list of successful candidates..."

"Some things really need to be cut off."

The woodcutter felt that he was a little too long-winded.

The same words were said over and over again.

But my brother wouldn't listen.

In order to make his brother listen to him, he could only repeat it over and over again, hoping that his brother would see his seriousness and determination.

Some things really cannot be tolerated by willfulness.

……

"younger brother."

"You are looking for the black monster to blame it for your failure in your first exam."

"and then?"

"What's the point of blaming it?"

"You might as well spend more time reading."

"learn from mistakes."

"You know that you failed this exam because you placed your hopes on the black monster."

"Slacked off on my efforts."

“Then why do you keep doing the same thing?”

"Didn't you notice?"

"Since you came back, all you've been thinking about and talking about is the black monster."

"Have you read the book?"

"Have you read the book?"

"Are you planning to not be able to concentrate on your studies for a day without seeing the black monster?"

“When will the black monster appear?”

“What if it doesn’t show up for a year?”

"Are you planning on not studying for a year?"

"You're not going to take the test?"

"After all, you haven't prepared anything this year, so how are you going to take the exam?"

The woodcutter said a lot at once.

He didn't give the young scholar a chance to speak.

He gestured to the young scholar to listen to what he had to say first.

……

"The next exam is still a long way off."

“But it’s close.”

The woodcutter continued, "You should have seen when you went to the capital this time. There are so many scholars like you."

“Not like here.”

"You are the only scholar around here."

This may have given young scholars an illusion.

I thought I didn't have many opponents.

Plus the confidence of the scholar in himself...

of course.

Young people.

There's nothing wrong with being young and reckless.

But you've already hit the wall, why don't you turn back?

The young scholar himself knew that he had relaxed his requirements on himself because he was sure that the black monster would bring him good luck.

I regret this very much.

If that's the case, why not speed up the change?

Why didn’t the young scholar show any remorse or sense of urgency?

……

“We always praise you.”

In the eyes of the illiterate woodcutter and the woman, the young scholar was naturally very capable.

Especially the woman has her own younger brother for comparison.

She also often told the woodcutter that he was lucky because his brother neither caused trouble nor studied hard.

It doesn't give the woodcutter any worries.

And her younger brother was idle all day long.

Uneducated and incompetent.

Fortunately, he is not a playboy who takes human life lightly and commits great evil.

Well.

Her family is not good enough to allow her child to be called a playboy.

Not only is it out of reach, it's also very far away.

Now that he has a family and children, her brother should be more calm.

The last time we met, she was still a little surprised.

The bastard boy in her eyes became a father.

The change of identity made her feel a little uncomfortable and emotional.

……

"It's understandable that you underestimated the difficulty of this exam."

The woodcutter nodded.

"Knowing that we have underestimated it, we need to adjust our strategy."

The woodcutter shook his fist.

"younger brother."

"You are very smart."

"Brother believes in you."

"As long as you really prepare, you will succeed."

The woodcutter finally encouraged the young scholar.

……

The woodcutter has some experience in taking care of his younger brother.

.....
The young scholar pursed his lips.

He understood what his brother meant.

It simply means that he should stop focusing his energy on the black monster.

Instead, concentrate on studying.

Isn't he unwilling to accept this failure?

Then we must work harder to make up for our previous shame next year.
