My apprentice is not easy

Chapter 243 The Road to the Exam

A clear slap print appeared on the young man's face, and a trace of unbearableness flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man, and he became firm again in the next second.

"Remember, reading is your only way out, and it's also the only way out for our family!"

"You have to read it, and if you don't read it... labor and capital want you to read it!"

The middle-aged man finished speaking harshly, put his hands on his waist, and stood up.

His gaze turned to the gate of the mansion again.

"...I'll ask again."

The boy came back to his senses, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the middle-aged man's wrist.

"Go back, Dad."

The middle-aged man waved his hand away.

"Wait until I ask again..."

"If you can worship that person in the mansion as your teacher, it will definitely be a lot easier in the future."

"Let me ask again, if it is allowed in, it will be fine."

The boy grabbed him again.

"Go back, Dad, we can't get in."

"How do you know if you don't try?"

The middle-aged insisted.

The teenager had no choice but to follow in the footsteps of the middle-aged.

The results were no different.

They... were punched out again.

The boy resisted the pain in his leg, supported the middle-aged man, and listened to the middle-aged man's sighs.

After a long silence, he spoke.

"Father, go back!"

"I won't make trouble anymore, I'm obedient... I will learn whatever you want me to learn."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a while, showing an expression of disbelief.

"Stinky boy, what the hell are you planning?"

The young man pursed his lips and smiled at him.

"In order to prevent Dad from being chased and beaten with a stick again, I want...to become a stronger person than the owner of that mansion!"

"fart!"

The middle-aged cursed.

"How many catties and taels are you, brat? Can you compare to... Sigh!"

"You, as long as I can win a Juren, I will have no regrets in my life!"

"Okay, my son, I'll take the exam first and show my father!"

The young man spoke with ease.

The middle-aged man just sneered.

"What do you think is such a simple matter? Your father and I..."

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and began to tell.

The young man supported him, step by step, away from that magnificent mansion.

……

The boy returned home.

A peaceful small mountain village.

Just like what he said, I stopped running around and started to study hard.

Zhulu just had a new consciousness, very weak, and often slept for several months.

Every time he wakes up, it will stay on the boy... that is, He Yingyi, observing the world.

He Yingyi has a playmate, or rather, a book companion.

A little girl with beautiful braids and hairpins tied on her head.

He Yingyi was reading, and the little girl stared at He Yingyi.

There is harmony between the two.

The little girl often ran into the woods to find some wild fruits, bird eggs, etc., and also brought dried fruits, candied fruit, and candies from home.

Then he held it in front of He Yingyi and looked at him expectantly.

At that time, He Yingyi would laugh.

Will reach out and touch the little girl's head, and say softly.

"Thank you sister Yan, you can eat by yourself!"

Zhulu saw it.

I also understand.

The purpose of the little girl's doing this is not just to share, but also because He Yingyi can touch her head.

Every time, she would lower her head, her little face was red, but her eyes were very bright.

The two have always been like this, accompanying each other in spring and autumn.

Zhulu liked the atmosphere very much and enjoyed it very much.

It has a feeling in its heart, such a harmonious atmosphere, which is not common.

If you don't cherish it, you will, it's gone.

……

Time passed slowly, and the boy had no time to talk.

At the age of 16, he became a scholar and qualified to go to Beijing for the exam.

Father He was very happy, his usual waist straightened, and the smile on his face never faded.

Then, it was the day He Yingyi left home.

He took his own family and the money lent by the little girl's family and left the village.

At the end, the little girl chased him out.

I gave him a purse with two ugly birds on it.

He Yingyi picked it up and hugged the little girl.

He made a promise... that he would come back and marry her when he was successful and famous.

Zhulu also tried to shake his body to say goodbye to the little girl.

But because of his weakness, neither of them noticed him.

He Yingyi embarked on the road to Kyoto, the road to rush for the exam.

He is walking on the road step by step with expectations for the future.

So, no matter how tired and bitter you are.

As long as he thinks of the people waiting for him in the village, he will unconsciously smile.

One day half a month after He Yingyi set off, Zhulu suddenly woke up.

It has a kind of, bad feeling.

Its owner, He Yingyi... is going to have an accident.

Zhulu didn't know why he suddenly felt this way.

But I also know that the master cannot be allowed to continue walking.

Only by stopping can disaster be avoided.

It wanted to remind He Yingyi, but it couldn't do anything except swing its body.

And this kind of inconspicuous swing is nothing compared to the shaking caused by walking.

He Yingyi didn't notice it at all.

The sense of danger is getting stronger and stronger, but it still can't find a way to remind He Yingyi.

And then...the last chance was gone.

A tiger demon chased a group of hunters, rushed out from the forest next to the road, and swallowed the hunters one by one after a few mouthfuls.

He Yingyi is just an ordinary scholar, how could he escape?
The tiger demon came with graceful steps.

He Yingyi turned around and wanted to run, but was blocked by the tiger demon with a light jump.

Then, the tiger demon spoke.

"student?"

He Yingyi didn't dare to answer, hugged the package and looked at it vigilantly.

The tiger demon didn't do anything.

"Scholar, I will give you a chance."

"Either follow me and do things for me, or... I will eat you now!"

The tiger demon opened its mouth wide, with a fishy smell on its face.

Even, its teeth were still stained with human blood and broken clothes.

He Yingyi cannot die.

Someone else is waiting for him.

So, he chose the former.

The tiger demon led He Yingyi into the forest, crossed the periphery of the forest, and stopped in front of a tree.

He opened his mouth and screamed angrily.

Then a door appeared in front of He Yingyi's eyes.

The tiger demon walked in first.

He Yingyi hesitated for a moment, took a few steps back, and planned to escape.

Unexpectedly, the tiger turned into a demon and appeared in front of him again.

"Students, you really are restless."

The tiger demon opened its mouth.

With one bite, he bit He Yingyi's head.

At that moment, both He Yingyi himself and Zhulu thought he was going to die.

However, no.

The tiger demon spared He Yingyi's life, but planted a seed in his soul through a secret method.

As long as the tiger demon thinks about it, he will die at any time.

He Yingyi was forced to enter that door.

I saw...a scene from hell.

Many, many, countless monsters are holding a party, and on their dining table, on the plate... are people.

These monsters are eating meat, drinking wine, watching dances, and chatting.

Hilarious and scary.

He Yingyi turned pale at that moment and almost vomited.

But out of the corner of my eye, I saw...a group of humans sitting at the dining table.

Dressed in black robes, they each ate ordinary meals on the table, turning a blind eye to the demon's behavior.
