I have a magical tree

Tianshui Town is named after a spring in the village. The water is sweet and clear, which means water from heaven.

Human beings built a settlement here based on this, and year after year, it became a town!

However, as the population of Tianshui Town increased, only one spring could not meet the water needs of the villagers, so later the village elders organized the villagers to dig ditches and draw water from a distant river.

Only in this way did the problem of water irrigation in Tianshui Town be solved. The original spring was abandoned.

The spring was near the home of old man Ding, so the family of old man Ding still used the water from the spring.

The main reason was that the home of old man Ding was a relatively remote place in the town, and it was more convenient to use the water from the spring directly than to dig a canal to draw water.

Although Tianshui Town was remote, it had a large population. There were nearly a thousand households in total, including the old and the young, and there were about 10,000 people!

Of course, it was not as good as the county town, but it was already very large in the towns.

After recovering a little, Xu Dao went to the town for a walk. Overall, it was OK. Over the years, the weather here has been good, and the crops have been good. In addition, the county does not impose heavy taxes, so although the families here are not rich, they have no worries about famine.

Old Man Ding's family is an exception. His family may be the hardest hit in the town. It is not for other reasons, but because Ding Ping's parents died in an accident a few years ago, and Old Man Ding is old and has a child, so he has become what he is now.

Fortunately, the villagers are kind-hearted. Knowing that Old Man Ding's family is poor, but he has a blue cow, they asked him to plow the land for their family and paid him so that Old Man Ding could raise his grandson.

However, even so, it cannot change the reality of Old Man Ding's family's financial difficulties, because the land does not need to be plowed all year round, but only at specific times and specific seasons.

And Old Man Ding alone cannot undertake the business of more than a thousand households in the town. Because he couldn't wait, and by the time he finished all the work, he was afraid that he would have missed the farming season.

Therefore, the reward for plowing the land could only keep the grandfather and grandson from going hungry, that's all.

Old man Ding looked at the medicinal materials in his hand. Although he was confused, he didn't ask. He was old and had lived for a long time. Even ordinary people would have superhuman wisdom.

The origin of this mage must be amazing, there is no doubt about it. Just by looking at the simple but high-quality monk's robes, plus pendants, jade pendants, and no-thing cards, these valuable things that are worth a lot at a glance, you can tell a lot.

If he guessed correctly, this mage should have been chased by someone with his junior brother, so he was seriously injured, unconscious on the roadside, and separated from his junior brother.

But these are all old man Ding's guesses, and he never asked to verify from beginning to end, but pretended to know nothing and understand nothing!

Some things do not mean safety after understanding the whole story, sometimes it is just the opposite.

Tianshui Village is remote, so the most appropriate way to deal with it is to wait for the mage to recover from his injuries and leave quietly.

Now, the origin of this package of medicinal materials is the same. He actually guessed that these medicinal materials definitely did not come from the surrounding wilderness, but he did not want to ask or question where they came from, so he just pretended not to know.

"Thank you, mage! If these medicinal materials from the mage are exchanged for money, Ping'er's salary will be settled!" Old man Ding was very grateful.

Xu Dao shook his head, "Speaking of which, you have done me a favor, so this is a return of favor! No need to be polite!"

In fact, Xu Dao could have given more. There were more gold and silver in his Wu Shi card and the other two Xumi mustard seeds. This kind of thing has become less and less useful to him, but he still prepared a lot.

However, he was unconscious at the time, and Old Man Ding helped him change his clothes. He had no money at that time, so it would be inappropriate to take out gold and silver now.

It would be more reasonable to get some herbs and lie that they were picked outside.

Moreover, this is more appropriate. Sometimes, great wealth can turn into unexpected disasters. A man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure!

"Is there any school in the town?"

"Yes! A young gentleman came here a few years ago to teach people to read and write, and he only charges a small tuition fee each time." Old man Ding packed the herbs. These herbs were carefully picked and dug. The plants were intact and the appearance was excellent, so the price would be relatively high.

"Young gentleman?" Xu Dao was immediately interested when he heard it. It is rare that there are still young people willing to come to such a remote place!

Not to mention young people, even the elderly, if they have the conditions, will not stay here for a long time.

"Well, Mr. Cui is very young, probably in his twenties or thirties... Calculating the time, this year is already the third year!" Old man Ding gave the answer.

"Mr. Cui?" Xu Dao nodded. He guessed that this man might have come here to avoid disaster. "Where is Xueshu? Can I go and see?"

"Of course, Ping'er is going to Xueshu later, and the master can go with him!"

"That's good!"

After breakfast, Xu Dao and Ding Ping rushed to the Xueshu in the town.

The Xueshu was at the other end of the town, not close to Old Man Ding's house. No wonder Xu Dao hadn't found it before.

"The master should be able to read, right?" Ding Ping asked curiously as he walked.

Xu Dao nodded, "I know him!"

"Then the master still wants to go to Xueshu?"

"I have nothing to do, so I'm curious to go and see! It's rare to have a Xueshu in a village!"

"This is all thanks to Mr. Cui. Mr. Cui is a very nice person!" Speaking of Mr. Cui, respect and admiration immediately appeared on Ding Ping's face. "There are people in the village who want to read and read. Regardless of men, women, old or young, as long as they pay a little Shuxiu, you can go to the class!”

"Is that so? That Mr. Cui is really interesting!" It's rare to find someone who teaches people how to read and write and never rejects them.

Children are the most difficult to teach, but they are also the easiest to teach. Adulting seems simple, but in fact it is not easy at all.

Teaching children is like drawing on a blank paper, while teaching adults is like making alterations. In the former, everything is like new, starting from scratch, while in the latter, the world view has been solidified, making it easier but more difficult.

"Then it would be a bit rude for me to go over like this. I didn't plan to restrain myself." Xu Dao asked with a smile.

Ding Ping shook his head, "Mr. Cui said that if you don't want to attend the class and want to attend the class, you can sit in for three days. If you go again after three days, you have to do the class! This is a rule and cannot be changed!"

"This rule..." Xu Dao raised his eyebrows slightly, becoming more and more curious. I'm afraid this gentleman is not simple!

While they were talking, the two of them had walked through the entire village and town without knowing it, and arrived outside Xue She.
