Chapter 138: Enlightenment Hall

~8 min read 1,473 words

With a shout of "Time to eat", the children scattered in all directions.

Each returned to their own home, each found their own mother.

Zhang Xingyu held Kaixin's hand and walked slowly toward the village.

The same courtyard, the same fence, only different faces.

Walking a hundred meters, the end of the village arrived.

The end of the village was a small courtyard.

This small courtyard had blue bricks and green tiles, vermilion gates and red walls, appearing particularly abrupt in the village.

Above the courtyard gate hung a black plaque with three vermilion characters: "Enlightenment Hall".

Enlightenment Hall, as the name suggests, is a place for children to be enlightened and go to school.

This school occupied the end of the road.

What was behind the school could not be explored.

Seeing that the road was blocked, the three turned around and walked back.

At this time, school children appeared on the road.

They carried school bags, sang children's songs, and walked into the school one after another.

"Little second son, carry your school bag to school..."

Seeing this, Zhang Kaixin was very curious.

He stopped a little fat boy and asked: "What are you going to do?"

"Go to school, read books," the little fat boy replied.

"Read books? Is it fun?" Zhang Kaixin asked again.

"Not fun. If you don't read well, the teacher will hit your palm," the little fat boy said.

"Then why do you still go?" Zhang Kaixin didn't understand.

"The teacher said that reading books can help you know big things and understand principles. The world outside the village is very dangerous, and if you don't understand principles, you will suffer," the little fat boy replied.

After speaking, the little fat boy carried his school bag and continued to walk forward, entering the school before long.

"Let's go. Let's look around and see if there are any other roads out of the village."

Zhang Xingyu pulled Kaixin, and the three walked back again.

At this moment, the villagers had finished breakfast and were carrying farm tools to the fields to work one after another.

"Old man, we entered this place by mistake and want to leave the village, may I ask how to get out?" Zhang Xingyu stopped an old man and asked loudly.

"Leave the village? Are you outsiders?" The old man asked suspiciously.

Zhang Xingyu nodded: "Yes, we entered this place by mistake and want to leave. May I ask the old man for the path out of the village."

Hearing Zhang Xingyu's answer, the old man shook his head.

"Young man, I have lived here since I was a child and have never left the village, so I don't know the path out," the old man said, and went to work on his own.

Thinking about it, Zhang Xingyu stopped a young man again.

As a result, the answer given by the young man was the same.

No road ahead, no door behind.

The three turned around in the village several times but couldn't find a way.

At noon that day, the three found an old woman and exchanged a second-class demon coin for a lunch.

Thus, it was afternoon, and afternoon became evening.

The three were dejected and had to borrow a room in a farmer's house.

After eating the farmer's meal, the three squeezed into a room to rest.

Perhaps finding a way out was too exhausting, and they fell asleep not long after lying down.

The night was silent.

The next day, Zhang Xingyu replenished his energy and opened his eyes.

What came into view was a winding little river, and across the river was a small village.

In the village, cooking smoke curled, chickens and dogs sounded, children played.

This scene?

Am I dreaming?

Just then, Mo Guang also woke up.

When he saw the situation in front of him, he was immediately stunned.

"Am I dreaming?" Mo Guang muttered to himself.

Just then, he saw a pair of little feet running quickly toward the river surface.

Feet stepping on water, bellyband swaying lightly, crossing the river without reeds, the scene reappeared.

Could it really be a dream.

The scene in this dream is too realistic.

Zhang Xingyu picked up a stone and threw it into the river.

There was no movement in the river.

Holding the Red Dragon sword, Zhang Xingyu stepped into the cool river cautiously.

Then, it was Mo Guang crossing the river, then, it was the children catching crickets.

Then, then again, repeat, repeat again.

On the third day, when Zhang Xingyu woke up again, he was petrified.

Beside him, Mo Guang was also petrified.

Only Zhang Kaixin, waving his little feet, performed the "crossing the river without reeds" performance again.

I remember a great god in the Western Wilderness once said that a man cannot step into the same river twice.

However, Zhang Xingyu felt that he had stepped into the river in front of him twice.

"Mo Guang, I feel like I've seen this river for the third time. Do you think I'm dreaming?" Zhang Xingyu asked Mo Guang.

Mo Guang shook his head: "I don't know, I feel like I've seen this river before too."

Strange, it's impossible for both of us to have the same dream.

Pick up a stone and throw it into the river.

Holding the Fire Dragon sword, step into the icy river water cautiously.

Reach the shore, walk while observing, shake your head while walking.

No, there must be something wrong.

If it's a dream, it's too realistic.

If it's not a dream, what is it?

Arrive at the Enlightenment Hall, then walk back, then meet the little fat boy again.

"What are you going to do?"

"Go to school, read books."

"Read books? Is it fun?"

"Not fun. If you don't read well, the teacher will hit your palm."

"Then why do you still go?"

"The teacher said that reading books can help you know big things and understand principles. The world outside the village is very dangerous, and if you don't understand principles, you will suffer."

Zhang Kaixin turned his head and said to Zhang Xingyu: "The world outside the village is very dangerous, I also want to know big things and understand principles, I also want to go to school."

Zhang Kaixin carried his small school bag and went to school with the little fat boy happily.

At dusk, at the school gate.

The villagers who came to pick up their children were chatting while waiting patiently for school to end.

"Sister Wang, your child is really a material for reading, maybe he can take the imperial examination and get a title in the future!"

"Aunt Liu, thank you for your kind words. I also hope that stinky brat can get a title and bring glory to his ancestors."

"Sister Wang, what do you think of my second girl?"

"Your second girl is smart and sensible, and very filial, she is a good girl."

"Then let's arrange a childhood engagement for them..."

Listening to the voices in his ears, Zhang Xingyu seemed to have traveled back to his elementary school days.

When school ended, his grandmother came to pick him up every day.

Talking about this and that.

Inadvertently, she even arranged a childhood engagement for him.

Zhang Xingyu smiled and sorted out his emotions.

Just then, the school door opened, and the school children walked out in twos and threes.

Zhang Kaixin and the little fat boy walked together, chatting while walking.

Smiles bloomed on their faces, appearing very happy.

Zhang Xingyu smiled and stepped forward to ask.

"What are you chatting about, so happy?"

"Hehe, the teacher praised me for studying hard and gave me and little fat boy a 'Mind-Thinking Card'."

"Mind-Thinking Card?"

"Yeah, a Mind-Thinking Card is a kind of point card. School points can be used to redeem toys."

"Point card? Can you also redeem toys?"

"Yeah. There are ten kinds of school point cards, namely the Wisdom Card for one point, the Diligent Study Card for two points, the Mind-Thinking Card for three points, the Excellent Study Card for five points, and the Scholar Card for ten points. If you accumulate twenty points, you can redeem a doll. There are many kinds of dolls, there are Gino Bears, there are Angels, there are Super Cool Men. Among them, the one I like most is Super Cool Man, they are super cool and handsome, have powerful supernatural powers, and are warriors who maintain world justice and peace."

This child, poisoned, addicted.

Days passed like this.

One day, Zhang Kaixin finally collected a set of Super Cool Man dolls.

He happily said to Zhang Xingyu: "Finally collected a set. I made an appointment with little fat boy to go through the level and leave the village." ===== CHAPTER 139 =====
