The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 72

[Chapter 72 Why]

Fang Xiu was thinking this in his mind, when several sturdy guards rushed over not far away.

The leader had a sinister face and an evil aura about him. He was obviously a ruthless man who had seen blood.

Seeing the little boy prostrating himself at Fang Xiu’s feet, he was startled at first, then with an angry look on his face, he pulled out the sword from his waist with a clang, and without saying a word, he struck at Fang Xiu.

At the same time, he let out a roar: “Bold thief, how dare you insult my young master!”

Being pointed at by the sharp blade, Fang Xiu’s heart seemed to have stopped beating. He wanted to escape, but couldn’t take a step, so he could only watch helplessly. The sharp knife was getting closer and closer to him.

For the first time, he felt so close to death.

The little boy was stunned when he saw this scene.

After a moment, he suddenly reacted, climbed up from the grass with a roar, stopped in front of Fang Xiu without fear, and said loudly: “Stop!”

Seeing the little boy like this, the guard leader was shocked and stopped abruptly. The ground knife style has been cut.

The sharp blade was only a square inch away from the little boy’s head.

The leader of the guard broke out in a cold sweat. He came to his senses. Without saying a word, he knelt down on the ground and lowered his head and said: “You disturbed the young master, and you will die!” The

little boy was also frightened. He stepped forward to block the situation just now. In front of Fang Xiu, it was just a subconscious reaction.

At this moment, looking at the shining blade, he felt extremely scared.

After all, he was just a child of six or seven years old. There were tears in his eyes, but he held back and did not fall.

Pretending to be calm, he said in a trembling voice: “He is my master, you must not make mistakes.”

Master?

The guard leader raised his head in shock, looked at Fang Xiu, thought for a while, and whispered: “Sir, the matter of apprenticeship is a serious matter, so we should not be so hasty.”

The little boy shook his head and said, “I have already done the apprenticeship ceremony. It’s over, there’s no room for change in this matter.”

He was obviously just a child, but he spoke like an adult.

The guard leader couldn’t help but show a bitter look on his face, and said cautiously: “Madam

” Are you asking me to betray Master?”

The little boy looked at the guard leader and said seriously.

Fang Xiu looked on and was dumbfounded.

The little boy’s behavior gave him an illusion.

Like the protagonist described in various online novels in his previous life, he was born with a domineering spirit.

Would it be wrong to accept such an extraordinary-looking child as a disciple?

When the guard leader heard the little boy’s words, he kowtowed heavily on the grass and said, “You don’t dare!”

The little boy seemed to be accustomed to the scene in front of him. He waved his hand and said, “Go down.”

The guard leader couldn’t help but raise his eyes and look. He glanced at Fang Xiu, his face full of worry.

But after

looking at the little boy, I knew that it would be difficult to change what he had made up his mind, so he had to stand up and said: “Sir, I’m going to leave.”

After the guard leader finished speaking, he left the open space with a group of strong-backed guards. But he didn’t go far, but stayed in the distance, always observing what was going on here.

After they left, the little boy knelt on the ground again, bowed respectfully to Fang Xiu, and said, “Master is frightened. My disciple is invincible. I am invincible.”

After all, he is just a child. Although he has read some books, his vocabulary is still a little lacking. He is holding back. After waiting for a long time, he couldn’t find the right words, so he had to say: “Ashamed.”

Fang Xiu looked at the young face in front of him and felt deeply in his heart.

She had only known him for half an hour, but when danger came, he actually stood in front of her.

You know, this is just a six or seven year old child!

“My teacher’s name is Fang Xiu. He is quite famous in this capital. If something happens to you, please send someone to Anping’s Mansion to find me as your teacher. I will answer your questions for you.”

After experiencing this incident, Fang Xiu had no idea about this little boy. The boy was much more interested than before and said.

When the little boy heard this, his eyes shone.

He saluted again and asked, “I wonder if master can tell my disciple now why two stones of different sizes fell to the ground at the same time?”

This was the reason why the little boy became so happy to become his disciple.

Fang Xiu couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard his apprentice’s question.

It can’t be said that I only have a partial understanding of the law of free landing, and I can’t explain it to him.

Having just accepted a disciple, it was natural for him to establish his dignity as a master.

Fang Xiu had no choice but to pretend to be profound and said: “The truth contained in this is very profound and far beyond what you can comprehend. When you grow up and learn more knowledge.

At that time, I will tell you why the two Why do rocks of different sizes fall to the ground at the same time? “

The little boy is a child, simple and good, but not stupid.

Hearing what Fang Xiu said, at first I thought the master had far-reaching intentions.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that Master, might he only know one thing but not the other?

“Master, don’t you know?”

The little boy asked a moment later, sitting on the blanket and stuffing roast meat into his mouth.

“”

Fang Xiu was drinking tea and almost choked when he heard this.

This apprentice of mine is really smart.

However, as a good young man with higher education, how could he be stumped by this problem.

Fang Xiu took a sip of tea, looked at him, and asked, “Do you know where the river in the back mountain goes?”

This question is a bit stupid.

The little boy thought so in his heart, but did not say it out loud.

As a child, he has no inhibitions, but his mother taught him to respect his teachers.

So, he answered politely: “Down the mountain.”

“Why?”

Fang Xiu asked: “Why does the river always flow from the mountain to the mountain, instead of flowing up from the mountain?”

“Because”

the little boy subconsciously explained. .

But as soon as he said two words, he couldn’t say them anymore.

Water naturally flows from high places to low places. This is common sense that all fools know. Do you need any reason?

Fang Xiu’s problems did not stop there.

“Why do ripe wild fruits always fall to the ground instead of flying to the sky?”

“Why can you see your own shadow in the water?”

Questions came out of Fang Xiu’s mouth like a barrage of questions. .

The little boy was completely stunned and looked a little dazed.

Obviously, the young mind was greatly affected.

The river flows down the mountain, the ripe wild fruits will fall to the ground, and your own shadow can be seen in the water.

Isn’t it a matter of course?

But why?

Not only the little boy, but also Xiu’er and Bai Xiaochun, who were happily eating barbecue, were stunned when they heard the young master’s series of questions.

It turns out that these subtle things that they don’t pay attention to in daily life are not as simple as they seem.
