Pastoral Master

Chapter 10
"Liangzhou City!" Yan Ruxue thought for a moment, then said firmly.

Yan Chen was a little hesitant. "But sister, we don't have much money!"

"But the academies in Liangzhou city are better than those in the town!" Yan Ruxue's tone was still firm.

Yan Chen still hesitated.

Yan Ruxue said. "There must be a way for a car to go to the mountain. You are so worried now, why not save your head and think about what to do over there. Whether it is going to the town or the city, our money is not enough, so we have to Think about your goals, and the rest, just work hard to solve them, don't look forward and backward, and save yourself from being empty!"

Yan Chen froze, and then lowered his head. His father said that he was not as good as Sister since he was a child. At first, he was a little unconvinced, but since his parents left, he realized more and more the gap between him and Sister. When he saw the mess in the house and the dead bodies of his parents, he could only feel sad, but after crying bitterly, Sister immediately began to investigate the cause of the catastrophe and the funeral of his parents.

Being bold and going forward bravely, this is probably what he lacks!
"Okay! Sister, let's go!" Yan Chen stretched out his not too big hand to hold Yan Ruxue's plain hand, and walked forward with his head held high.

Yan Ruxue, who was walking behind, had a slight smile on her lips. Her younger brother was growing up step by step, and the future of the Yan family depended on him!

The two siblings walked all the way to Liangzhou City. On the way, they met many refugees. After asking, the siblings knew that Shibao City had fallen. The Turks used Shibao City as their base and continued to enter Datang The territory was plundered, so that the villages and towns near Liangzhou, including Fuquan Village, suffered catastrophe.

Two days later in the morning, the two siblings came to the gate of Liangzhou City facing the first sunrise. The soldiers at the gate were carefully checking the people entering the city one by one. The two siblings lined up safely. Then they came.

"Where is it?" the soldier asked as usual.

"Fuquan Village!" Yan Chen replied.

"Fuquan Village?" The soldier looked at the Yan family siblings. The teenage children didn't seem to want to be spies from Tubo, but they still wanted to ask clearly. "What are you doing in Liangzhou?"

"My home was destroyed by the Turkic people, and I came to Liangzhou to make a living!" Yan Ruxue said in a bad tone, these soldiers didn't think about how to recapture Shibao City, but they are here to embarrass them civilians!

The soldier smacked his mouth dryly, this little girl has such a hot temper, she just asked a question, why is her speech so choking!He waved his hand impatiently. "Go, go, go!"

After the two entered the city, they ordered two bowls of bean brains at the small stall next to the city gate. After eating some in a hurry, Yan Chen asked. "Sister, what should we do now?"

"Look for a college, and then find a house near the college!" Yan Ruxue had a very clear goal.

In the huge city of Liangzhou, their two siblings are like two leaves falling from a tree, moving with the wind, but they still can't fall. The house is like a root, they need a foothold.

Afterwards, the two of them inquired along the way, about the situation of the academy and Liangzhou city.

"This is Renfang Academy!" Looking at the tall archway and magnificent plaque in front of him, Yan Chen couldn't help swallowing, feeling a sense of awe in his heart.

Yan Ruxue also had feelings, but what she was in awe of was not those superficial things, but the scholarly atmosphere behind these things, that kind of precipitation, which made people's impetuous heart suddenly calm down a lot, that kind of heavy feeling , awe-inspiring.

"Sister, Shuxiu here shouldn't be cheap! Why don't we find a smaller academy!" Yan Chen was most worried that he didn't have enough money in his purse, and he would drag his sister down.

"No!" Yan Ruxue was very firm. "If you want to do it, you have to do the best. This is the best academy in Liangzhou. Since we are here, let's go for the best!"

"But..." Yan Chen couldn't bear it. If he was alone, then it didn't matter what he did. He would choose to fight again, but he really didn't want to drag Yan Ruxue down. Another shackle on his shoulders!
"There's nothing wrong with it!" Yan Ruxue looked up at the tall archway. "It's autumn vacation now, and there are still some days before leaving school. Maybe, we can do something during this time!"

Yan Chen asked. "Do something? Sister, what do you think?"

Yan Ruxue nodded. "Well, but it's not the time to talk about it yet, let's see if there are any houses for rent nearby!"

The location of Renfang Academy is on the east side of Liangzhou City. The east side of the city belongs to the wealthy area, and they are all high-end houses. Everyone walking on the street is well-dressed. Compared with the hustle and bustle of the civilian area, this place looks quieter. There are many, which is probably the reason why the academy chose this place. There is a mountain range directly behind the book. Not far from the academy is the city gate of the East City. There are two streets and alleys in front of the city gate. After seeing the houses in the alley, sister The two brothers finally saw a glimmer of hope, the houses here finally didn't look so expensive!

After asking around, the siblings chose the cheapest one. The landlord is a shrewd looking old lady. Everyone calls her Mrs. Qin.

"Just these two houses, you can use the kitchen outside, but you can't use it at the three hours of Mao, Noon, and Shen, because I have to cook, and you have to fill up the water tank in the kitchen every day, and you have to fill up the firewood. You have to be responsible for chopping them all out!" Mrs. Qin said to the Yan family siblings in the yard, waving her fingers like dry branches.

Yan Ruxue has no objection to Old Madam Qin's almost harsh request, because the rent here is the cheapest in these two streets, five hundred cash a month, and all the things at home can be used, saving a lot of money. Trouble, Yan Ruxue almost didn't think about it, and paid five months' rent all at once.

Yan Chen is also satisfied with the rent. As for carrying water and chopping firewood, although he is not very good at it, he can learn it. As long as it can relieve Yan Ruxue's burden, it doesn't matter if he is a little bit tired.

After renting the house, the siblings cleaned it together. The two rooms were actually one room with a wooden board in between. The furniture in the room was also very simple. One bed, one cabinet, and one table. It is also rented to some poor students.

The salutation of the siblings was very simple, so simple that there were only two sets of clothes and some rare manuscript books. After the two packed up, Yan Ruxue decided to take Yan Chen out for a good meal. After walking for two full days, it should be a good reward.
