"Chirp, chirp, chirp. Mulan is weaving at home. I don't hear the sound of weaving, but I hear the sigh of a woman. Ask you what you think, ask you what you remember, you don't think, you don't remember. " A neat and clear sound of reading came from the ancient and quiet academy. At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and night was about to fall. The students in the academy were about to be dismissed from school. At this moment, an old man with white hair and a youthful face was standing under an old tree at the entrance of the Academy and looking around. He twirled his beard as he looked out the door. He narrowed his eyes and muttered,""Eh? Why isn't this child here today? Would something happen? "The old man frowned and sighed." This child must have gone back late again. He hasn't come yet." "
The academy was very simple. The walls were made of yellow mud and brushed with a layer of white lime. The black tiles were taken from the roofs of their houses by the villagers in the small village at the foot of the mountain. The roof of the small academy was built with one tile in the east and one tile in the west. Outside the house, there was a fence surrounding a flat ground. There was a gap facing the door, which was the courtyard door. Looking up from the gate of the fenced courtyard, there was a piece of dry wood with the words "Yue Mu Academy" written on it. It was said that this was personally written by the College Chief of the Yue Mu Academy.
The old man stood at the door for about a quarter of an hour, waiting anxiously. Occasionally, he twirled his loose beard and walked around the courtyard entrance. At the end of the winding path, the figure of that person was nowhere to be seen. The sky gradually darkened, and even the path at the entrance became gray. It was as if the world was covered with a layer of gray gauze. The surroundings were quiet, and only the occasional chirping of insects showed the vitality of the earth to people. The path grew more and more hazy, and it was almost dark. "Let's go and take a look! He didn't know what had happened to that little girl. The old man sighed. He was still worried, so he could only walk to the other end of the path.
The old man's name was Ge Chaohui, and he was the dean of this academy. It was said that there was no academy in this small mountain village in the past. The nearest academy was in a small town twenty miles away. The school fees were very expensive. The children in the village could not afford to go to school at all. At the age of ten, they could only play in the mud in the fields. Twenty years ago, Ge Chaohui brought his three-year-old granddaughter, Xiang 'er, to this place. He built this academy on the mountain and started teaching students.
——
On a quiet path, a five or six-year-old girl carrying a ponytail that was bigger than her body walked out from the depths of the forest.
The little girl's small face was dark, and it was impossible to tell what her original appearance was like. One could only see two black eyes that were particularly lively under the white eye sockets. There were some dead leaves and branches stuck to her fluffy hair, and her thin and empty clothes fluttered in the wind, making her look even more petite and helpless. The bundle was too tall and too big. The little girl had to stop after a few steps to tighten the bundle to prevent the herbs from falling out. She had just picked these herbs from the mountains and wanted to exchange them for money with the old doctor in the village. Some of the herbs were needed for her mother's treatment and could not be lost. Ever since she was sensible, her mother had been sick. She seemed to be better last year, but this year, her illness was much worse.
This little girl's name was Ruoyi, the Ruoyi of "If we can be together forever". She had lived with her mother in the village at the foot of the mountain since she was young. Today, she had returned from the Seven Treasures Mountain to pick herbs as usual. The Seven Treasure Mountain was the only mountain around the village. Seven Treasure Mountain.
