Chapter 117

However, when Zhang Xiaohua finished reading those books, she discovered that these books seemed to be too basic. She had a feeling that they were not enough to quench her thirst. If she wanted to use the things she learned from these books to solve the problem of medicinal herbs not germinating, it would be wishful thinking.

Helpless, Zhang Xiaohua could only throw these books on the kang bed. When she was bored, she would flip through them again.

Without new books to read, Zhang Xiaohua once again lived a monotonous life of working and cultivating. Although reading books was a good habit, Zhang Xiaohua would never buy books for the sake of reading. Books could not be read unless they were borrowed. Zhang Xiaohua felt the same way in her heart.

On the other hand, He Tianshu was used to seeing Zhang Xiaohua running around with books. Not long after, he discovered Zhang Xiaohua's abnormality. He asked with interest, thinking that Zhang Xiaohua had given up on her research.

However, when he heard Zhang Xiaohua's reason, he didn't believe it at first. However, when he thought about how this person in front of him used 《Shuo Wen Jie Zi》 to enlighten her, his brows relaxed. He snapped his right hand and said, "Isn't that easy?"

Then he muttered in Nie Xiao Er's ear for a moment. Nie Xiao Er listened while sizing up Zhang Xiaohua from the corner of his eyes, making Zhang Xiaohua's hair stand on end. What was he doing?

After he finished muttering, Nie Xiao Er left to carry out his orders. He Tianshu beamed at Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Alright, you wait. I'll show you my methods in a while."

Zhang Xiaohua rolled her eyes and curled her lips, saying, "What methods are you playing?

Making it so mysterious.

I'll just wait. "

This Nie Xiao Er left for half a day. He only returned to the small courtyard empty-handed in the evening. Seeing Nie Xiao Er return empty-handed, He Tianshu was very shocked and asked, "You didn't do it?"

Nie Xiao Er said, "Elder He said that our hall's books are only for the disciples to read. They cannot be borrowed from outsiders."

He Tianshu frowned. "You didn't look for Hall Master Bai?"

Nie Xiao Er smiled bitterly and said, "I did, but Hall Master Bai didn't pay much attention to me. He only said that you're trying to find any doctor when you're seriously ill. How can a child without any foundation solve the problem by just reading books? He told you to think of another way. He also told me to tell you that he's also discussing this problem with the elders in the hall. He told you not to mess around."

He Tianshu's face alternated between red and green as he looked into Zhang Xiaohua's eyes. He felt very embarrassed, but he seemed to have thought of something. His face relaxed as he said, "Zhang Xiaohua, go back to your room first. I'll bring you those books in a while."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at him curiously, nodded in agreement, and went straight back into the house.

Since someone wanted to find books for him to read, of course he wouldn't refuse.

Sure enough, not long after, He Tianshu came back with a grin on his face carrying a pile of books. He piled them on Zhang Xiaohua's kang. He clapped his hands and said, "Alright, Zhang Xiaohua, I finally found the books for you. Read them well."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the pile of books on her kang in surprise and asked curiously, "So many, where did Captain He get them?"

He Tianshu pretended to be mysterious. "Look at how powerful this He's methods are. How can such a small problem not be solved?

Hehe, read carefully. Zhang Xiaohua, don't mind our Hall Master's words. I still say the same thing. It's best if it can be solved, but it's fine if it can't be solved. Just treat it as you reading books to broaden your horizons. Also … "

He Tianshu muttered to himself. "The jianghu is dangerous. What can a child like you rely on?

Learn more and you'll be able to live a good life. "

Zhang Xiaohua finally understood He Tianshu's painstaking efforts. She couldn't help but feel grateful. Humans weren't plants. How could they be emotionless?

She and He Tianshu were neither relatives nor friends. Just living together for a short period of time, he took care of her in every possible way. Not only did he teach her fist techniques, he even pointed out the path for her future. It could be seen that this dangerous jianghu wasn't just filled with traps and arrows. There was also warmth and care.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I understand, Captain He. I won't let you down. At least I have to learn more, right?"

He Tianshu nodded. "It's good that you understand.

Read your books yourself. I'm leaving. "

After saying that, he smiled and walked out. Zhang Xiaohua sent him to the door. When he left the house, she was about to turn around when she saw He Tianshu turn his head and say, "Oh right, Zhang Xiaohua, I almost forgot. How's your practice of fist techniques?

We haven't practiced together in a long time. "

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile, "It's alright, Captain He. I mixed the fist techniques you taught me and some of the fist techniques my second brother taught me together. I can practice them too."

He Tianshu smiled and said, "Not bad, Zhang Xiaohua. You know how to create your own techniques. You're promising. Practice well. When you have the chance, let me see it."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Okay, no problem, Captain He. I can do it anytime."

He Tianshu said, "You won't forget this time?"

Zhang Xiaohua said, "I won't. Don't worry."

He Tianshu said, "Okay then. When I have the time, I'll see it. You read your books too. I'm leaving."

After saying that, he walked out of the house. Zhang Xiaohua saw him leave and was about to turn around when He Tianshu turned his head again and said, "Oh, I almost forgot. Zhang Xiaohua."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. She turned around again and said, "What is it, Captain He?"

He Tianshu said, "I borrowed the book from the Village Head. When she heard that you were reading it, she was very happy. She said that when you're done, she has more. You can go and get it. You can ask Qiu Tong for it."

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she was very happy and said, "Really? That's great. Thank you, Captain He."

He Tianshu smiled and said, "What are you thanking me for? Okay, go and read your books."

After saying that, he walked out of the house. Zhang Xiaohua watched him leave. This time, she didn't turn around and waited quietly.

He Tianshu was about to leave when he remembered something. He turned around and said, "Oh, I almost forgot. Zhang Xiaohua …"

When he saw that Zhang Xiaohua was still standing there and looking at him with a smile and didn't turn around, he was stunned and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, why aren't you reading?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I'm waiting for Captain He to tell me about 'I almost forgot' again."

He Tianshu smiled and said, "I see. It's like this …"

Then, his expression became very strange. Zhang Xiaohua frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

He Tianshu pursed his lips and said, "I really forgot this time. Forget it, I won't talk about it. I'll tell you when I remember."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the house.

Zhang Xiaohua didn't move. She quietly waited for He Tianshu to leave. Then, she stuck her head out and watched as He Tianshu walked away and patted his forehead. When he entered his room, Zhang Xiaohua felt relieved. She closed the door and went to read on the kang bed.

He Tianshu entered the room. He was still thinking about what he wanted to say just now.

He Tianshu kept tossing and turning in bed until it was very late at night. He Tianshu frowned and thought until a ray of light appeared on the horizon. He Tianshu suddenly sat up and laughed, "I finally remembered. I want to tell Zhang Xiaohua not to read too late and to pay attention to rest."

With the new program, Zhang Xiaohua was naturally happy and forgot about home. Every day, he read and practiced martial arts. He only hoped that these days would last. However, the more he read, the more he felt that the cultivation of medicinal herbs was complicated and profound. He really admired someone who could write so many things. At the same time, he was very grateful to Li Jinfeng for teaching him how to read. He was also very grateful to Huanxi Manor for giving him the opportunity to read. He was very grateful to the Manor Lord for lending these books to him. Finally, he also wanted to thank his parents for letting him out. Well, if he put his parents last, no one would say anything.

Hehehe, by the way, when he saw the Manor Lord one day, should he mention to her to find a job for his parents?

The more he knew, the more he didn't know. Zhang Xiaohua was now in this state.

As He Tianshu brought those books to read, Zhang Xiaohua felt more and more that he knew too little. In fact, he had forgotten his main purpose. He had forgotten to find the reason why those seeds didn't germinate.

He actually agreed with the Pharmacy Hall Master's words. It was impossible to solve the problem that He Tianshu and the others encountered by simply reading a few books. In fact, if it could be solved by just reading books, then the Pharmacy Hall Elder would have done it long ago.

However, Zhang Xiaohua was already infatuated with this magical world of medicinal herbs.

In the afternoon, Zhang Xiaohua returned to the house after practicing the fist technique. As usual, he picked up more books and prepared more. Only then did he remember that he had finished reading all the books last night. Zhang Xiaohua flipped through the books and felt very bored. Zhang Xiaohua had a bad habit of reading books. He didn't like to read a book a second time after reading it. Although He Tianshu brought over a lot of books, it couldn't stop Zhang Xiaohua from reading them day and night.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua remembered that when He Tianshu brought the books over, he said that if he finished reading all these books, he could go to the Manor Lord to borrow more. He could also find Qiu Tong. Thinking that he hadn't seen Elder Sister Qiu Tong for a long time, he wanted to take this opportunity to see her.

After making up his mind, Zhang Xiaohua carried the books and went to look for He Tianshu.

The door to He Tianshu's house was tightly shut. Zhang Xiaohua shouted outside for a long time, but no one answered. He must have gone out.

This made Zhang Xiaohua worried. He had never entered the inner manor. He didn't know where Elder Sister Qiu Tong was, let alone the Manor Lord.

Just as he was about to return to his house, Zhang Xiaohua remembered that he had looked for Elder Yu last time. Elder Yu definitely knew about it. He carried the books and entered through the small round door, walking towards the inner courtyard.

After passing through a few courtyards, he arrived at Elder Yu's residence. Unfortunately, Elder Yu wasn't there either. Zhang Xiaohua felt discouraged. What day was it today?

He didn't look at the almanac. Everything was going wrong?

However, since he had already entered, he might as well continue to look around. If he saw one or two people, he could ask. He was also a member of the Misty Mountain Villa, so he wasn't afraid of being misunderstood.

However, he forgot that the people in green clothes and hats and the few people from the Medicine Hall rarely entered the inner courtyard. That was where the girls lived.

Just as Zhang Xiaohua was about to barge in, he suddenly heard someone scream, "Where did this child come from?

Why are you here? "

Zhang Xiaohua froze and couldn't help but stop in his tracks. Could they be talking about him?

When he turned to look, there was indeed a girl standing under the shed in the small courtyard. She had washed clothes and was about to dry them.

Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm Captain He Tianshu's subordinate from the medicine fields outside. I want to come in to look for Elder Sister Qiu Tong."

When the girl heard this, she looked puzzled. She put down the clothes and walked over. She looked Zhang Xiaohua up and down and said, "Captain He's subordinate? Why haven't I heard of you before?

You're so young. How did you come out of the Medicine Hall? "

Zhang Xiaohua naturally knew that she had misunderstood him as someone from the Misty School. It wasn't easy for him to explain, so he said, "I just came here not long ago. I'm not from the Medicine Hall, so Elder Sister probably doesn't know me. You just have to look for Elder Sister Qiu Tong and you'll naturally know."

The girl felt that it made sense and said, "Since you're new here, you might not know the rules of the Villa. You can't trespass into the inner courtyard without orders. Seeing that you're still young, Captain He must have been careless. You mustn't do this again. If the Villa Head finds out, you'll be caned."

Zhang Xiaohua was shocked. He stuck out his tongue and said, "It's that serious. I really didn't know."

However, he cursed inwardly, "Seriously, Captain He. Why didn't he tell me in detail and made me look for the Villa Head myself?

The feeling of being caned on the butt is probably not good.

Why didn't Tian Zhongxi say anything?

How strange. "

Actually, this was also a misunderstanding. Tian Zhongxi and He Tianshu knew that he was someone brought in by Qiu Tong and thought that Qiu Tong had already explained the rules of the Villa to him. Qiu Tong also saw him as her younger brother and naturally felt that there was nothing to hide. Moreover, after bringing Zhang Xiaohua in, they originally wanted to give her some instructions. However, they were stopped by the Villa Head's words of "work on your own" and had long forgotten about it. What was even more amazing was that Zhang Xiaohua had been recuperating in the escort agency for several months. In everyone's eyes, he was already an "old person". In fact, he was still very "fresh".

However, he was indeed young and the girl didn't mind. She said, "Don't go in any further. I'll help you look for Qiu Tong." Then, she quickly walked in.

Zhang Xiaohua could only wait there and look curiously at the small courtyard. This courtyard was slightly smaller than the one Zhang Xiaohua and the others were staying in. However, it was unusually clean and there were even some flowers and plants planted in the corners. It was easy for Zhang Xiaohua to think of his sister-in-law. Didn't Liu Qian like to plant flowers and plants in the courtyard?

When he saw the clothes that the girl was about to dry, he lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, he walked forward and placed the books he was carrying on the stone table. He washed his hands with the clean water in the basin and helped to dry the clothes in the basin one by one.

Zhang Xiaohua used to help his mother do these things when he was at home. Naturally, he was familiar with the process and finished it in a short while.

Moreover, when he was drying the clothes, he couldn't help but think about his family.

Then, Zhang Xiaohua hugged the books and waited at the door. He felt very strange. Although he often missed home, it wasn't as frequent when he was in the medicinal field. He had only entered the inner courtyard for a short while, but if he wasn't missing his parents, then he was missing his sister-in-law. What was going on?

Just as he was thinking, Zhang Xiaohua felt someone walking over from afar. Although he didn't hear the footsteps, Zhang Xiaohua could clearly feel it.

As expected, the girl soon led Qiu Tong over. Qiu Tong saw Zhang Xiaohua from afar and said happily, "It really is you, Zhang Xiaohua. Qiu Ju said that a child was looking for you, but she couldn't say the name. I guessed it was you."

Seeing Qiu Ju's flushed face, Zhang Xiaohua was speechless. This girl was really careless. She didn't even ask for his name before running in. He could only say, "Big Sister Qiu Ju ran too fast. I forgot to tell her."

Qiu Tong smiled and said, "Xiaohua is a sensible child. She knows how to cover for others. However, everyone in the village knows about Qiu Ju's carelessness.

Alright, come in with me. Why did you suddenly come to find me today? "

After speaking, she led Zhang Xiaohua inside.

As Qiuju watched the two of them walk away, the blush on her face faded away. She secretly scolded herself for being careless. However, when she lifted her leg to continue with her work, she saw the clothes that were being hung out to dry. Her face turned even redder. This little brat was rather diligent and knew how to help others. However, how could a girl's clothes be hung out to dry by a man?

The sudden change was that of a teenage boy!

Qiu Ju stood in the courtyard. She didn't know if she should take down some of the clothes and wash them again.

Endless confusion ~

Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaohua, who was walking into the inner courtyard, didn't know that her good deed had turned into a bad one. She happily told Qiu Tong the reason for her visit.

When Qiu Tong heard that Zhang Xiaohua was reading a book about medicinal herbs, she was very happy. She couldn't help but rub Zhang Xiaohua's head like a little brother. She smiled and said, "Xiaohua, you're really amazing. When you first arrived, you didn't even know how to read. Now, you can actually read. If you can really help the village head solve the problem of the seeds, that would be great."

Zhang Xiaohua said seriously, "Big Sister Qiu Tong, I can read thanks to that Young Master Li you met last time. Oh, right, he came to our village with my second brother last time. He even said that he wanted to meet you."

Qiu Tong was stunned. She immediately understood and said with a smile, "Did Young Master Li tell you to say that?"

Zhang Xiaohua quickly explained, "I wanted to tell you that, but Young Master Li didn't let me. He just told me to mention him casually.

Why don't you ask him the next time he comes? "

Qiu Tong smiled and said, "We'll talk about it later. Right now, it's better to help the village head solve the problem."

Zhang Xiaohua quickly said, "Young Master Li also gave me a few books like this at the beginning."

However, seeing that Qiu Tong didn't seem to want to talk about this, she quickly added, "However, I think that just reading these books and only studying the theory isn't enough. It's best to combine it with practice.

This theory comes from practice, but it's better than practice. Experts record their practice into books for us to study. After we've finished learning, we still have to return to practice. Only then can we truly test the theory and turn it into our own knowledge. This is true knowledge from practice. "

When Qiu Tong heard this, she couldn't help but stop and say, "Who told you this?"

When Zhang Xiaohua saw that Qiu Tong had stopped, she also stopped and said, "I learned all of this from reading these books. Am I wrong?"

Qiu Tong smiled and said, "You're not wrong. It seems that the village head often says these things.

I thought that someone else told you.

Alright, let's go. The village head and the others seem to have something to do in the hall. I'll help you find the books. "
