Chapter 64 It's not a problem that can be solved with money
The gentlemen in the Academy said nothing wrong. This brat really may have tainted the literary spirit.
The hero looked at Cao Ergou with amusement and tears. The child looked confused and did not realize what he had just said.
"Silly boy, do you think studying is useless?"
"I...I don't know." Cao Ergou frowned tightly, "My mother said that scholars are the most powerful people in the world. After reading, they can live a good life when they grow up."
If it is very simple, it can be seen that Ergou's mother is not a wild woman in the mountain village who has no knowledge at all.
"Don't you believe what your mother said?" the hero asked again.
"Of course I believe it, but... but when I come to the school, I don't have time to herd sheep or herd cattle for the master's house. My mother and sister will go hungry."
Cao Ergou showed a sad look that was not in line with his age and asked seriously: "Sir, how long will it take for me to grow up?"
The hero heard it, and the child asked how long it took to read to live a good life.
"At least ten years, or even longer." He did not deceive or tactfully pour any chicken soup, and directly put the cruel reality in front of his children.
Sure enough, Cao Ergou's face drooped, and he stumbled for a long time before he asked carefully: "If I only read a few days a month, can I still get the money?"
"Not mention getting the money, the Academy will not promise you to only read a few days a month."
To the hero's surprise, Cao Ergou heard this and after a moment of silence, he did not become depressed by disappointment. Instead, he smiled, as if he finally didn't have to worry about something anymore and was relieved.
The child knelt down again and kowtowed to him.
"Sir, thank you for your willingness to teach me, but I'm sorry, I can't read."
The hero narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "In addition to being Mr. Academic Palace, I am also the young palace master of Baji Palace. The entire Shuangzhou, including your Niujia Village, belongs to me.
I have endless money to spend. If you are willing to study with me, you will not only not be hungry anymore, but you may also become an official in the future. The landlords and wealthy in your village will have to kneel down and kowtow when they see you."
Cao Ergou's eyes lit up suddenly: "Don't my mother and sister have to go hungry anymore?"
The hero shook his head coldly: "I'll just care about you."
As if there was no electricity, the light in Cao Ergou's eyes instantly went out, and he kowtowed again without hesitation: "Thank you, sir, you are a good person! If you have the chance, you will come to my house and I will roast rice rats for you. The rice rats I roasted are the best in the village."
After saying that, he got up and patted the dust on his knees, and then he was about to leave.
"Wait." The hero called him and stared at his eyes and said, "You have to think clearly that this is the only chance you can live a good life. If you give up, you may only stay in Niujia Village in your life and accompany your mother and sister to endure hardships."
Cao Ergou obviously couldn't understand the profound meaning of his words, and scratched his head and said, "Sorry, sir, I don't know what to think, but I know that I can't let my mother and sister go hungry, it won't last a day."
"good!"
The hero smiled with relief and touched himself, and found that there was only gold and silver, no change.
Thinking that the poor peasant family suddenly held huge amounts of money, it was a disaster or a blessing, so they began to search Peng Qi again, and finally found a purse with about a hundred and ten cents inside, and all of them fell into Cao Ergou's arms.
"Hide it, don't lose it, take it back to your mother and tell her that you have been admitted to the school and can only go home for one day every month from now on, but you can bring back one hundred cents every time."
Cao Ergou didn't understand what was going on, "First... sir..."
"Silly boy, your husband means that you don't have to wait for you to grow up. From now on, your mother and your sister can live a good life with you." Peng Qi said with a smile on the side, "What are you still standing there? Kowtow and become a disciple!"
Cao Ergou blinked and suddenly became panicked. He used his clothes to pay back the money to the hero.
"My mother said that you can't take advantage of others casually. Sir, please take it back!"
"Who said you took it casually? This is the rule of the school. If you come to study, you will pay for it."
"But...isn't it fifty-month?"
"Oh, half of it is the rules of the school, half of it is my rules. In short, just take it for you. Stop talking nonsense, now get home immediately to pack your luggage, and go to the school to find me before dark.
Remember, I'm called a hero."
Waving his hand impatiently, the hero and Peng Qi turned around and left.
Cao Ergou stood there for a long time, and finally realized what was going on. He jumped up in surprise, causing money to spread all over the floor in his arms. He was so scared that he hurriedly lay on the ground, kowtowed to the hero's back, and then carefully picked it up.
"Hey, you have to do good things, why do you spend my money?" Peng Qi began to protest not far away.
"You are a senior brother, why are you spending some money for me?" The hero had no intention of paying back the money at all, and he was shameless and righteous.
Peng Qi shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said seriously: "Although there are elementary schools in the school, not everyone can enter. If you are so careless and interfere in your affairs, it is easy to be disgusting."
"If you dislike it, just dislike it! I am a dignified young palace master, and I still have to live a life with other people's faces?" The hero said indifferently, "In your words, I am happy, why don't you call cats and dogs bark?"
"What if the Academy insists on not accepting it?"
"Then I will build another school next to me, which specializes in collecting children from poor families. Isn't it just to spend some money! Things that can be solved with money are not a problem!"
"You are awesome!" Peng Qi raised his thumbs up, and his head was covered with black lines. "I just settled the students here yesterday, and today I will slap the entire school in the face. Senior brother really wants to pretend that he doesn't know you in the future."
The hero smiled and suddenly thought of something. He turned his head to look at Cao Ergou who was still picking up money on the ground. He thought to himself, "Senior Brother, have you noticed that the child looks a bit like you? It's not a romantic debt that you are merciless, right?"
Peng Qi was choked directly by saliva.
"Get out! I'm a little romantic, but I don't know if I have sex or not."
As he laughed and scolded, Peng Qi also looked back and then frowned.
"When you say this, I think he looks like me, with three or four points between his eyebrows and eyes."
"Yes, right! Hurry up and recall it, did you go to Niujia Village on a certain year, month and day?"
Peng Qi laughed and said frankly: "Middle Earth population is a billion. What does it mean to have a little similarity? The day before yesterday, the female murderer who killed Yinghe, I thought she was very similar to Xiaolan!"
The hero's heart suddenly stumbled.
It seems that it is difficult to hide it from people close to me just because I have dirty my face! I have to prepare a terrorist headgear when I look back.
At this time, a person walked towards him.
This man was wearing a deacon uniform in the school, holding a long sword in his hand, with an ordinary appearance and a cold expression. He was Mo Tu.
The hero immediately became angry and smiled coldly: "Deacon Mo, do you know a child named Cao Ergou?"
