Immortals Step into Heaven

The midday sun was scorching! I was sweating even walking on the road. Taking Ling'er with me, we passed Aunt Wang's house and saw that their big yellow dog had given birth to a litter of five puppies.

The baby was only a few days old and its fur hadn't fully grown yet. Zheng Yuan didn't pay much attention to it. He called Ergou and ran to Mr. Zhang's school.

In the morning, everyone in the village has their own things to do, such as farming. The house also needs to be cleaned, and the children are the same. After all, morning is the best time of the day. Who wants to be out in the hot sun at noon to farm?

This school is called a school, but it is just a front hall. Mr. Zhang converted the front hall of his house into a school and put dozens of small tables in it.

There were more than thirty students, all sitting cross-legged, looking quite professional. Mr. Zhang was very knowledgeable and liked to study ancient Chinese texts. He often taught everyone some ancient characters.

This ancient Chinese text is very different from the normal fonts learned, and it is embarrassing and difficult to understand. Zheng Yuan doesn't like to learn it.

I felt that this ancient text was useless and no one would understand it, and it was useless for communication. But Mr. Zhang was very diligent and enthusiastic in teaching everyone.

It was as if he was afraid that it would be lost. The treasure was very important. Zheng Yuan smiled in his heart and thought, maybe this is why Old Man Zhang has been a scholar all his life!

He got the direction wrong. If he had focused all his energy on the classics of sages, he might be an official in the court now!

While Zheng Yuan was in a daze, a long wooden board hit his head with a snap. It wasn't painful but loud enough to wake him up. Everyone started laughing, especially Ergou, Daxiong and the others. Their mouths were crooked from laughing. Zheng Yuan also smiled slightly with a hint of embarrassment.

When he heard Mr. Zhang's scolding, his brows furrowed, his eyes glared, and he glanced around. No one dared to laugh. The expression of wanting to laugh but not being able to hold it back was so weird and ugly!

Zheng Yuan stood up and bowed slightly to Mr. Zhang to express his apology to him. Basic courtesy of respecting teachers is still necessary.

After observing Zheng Yuan's actions, Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "You are a teachable boy." Mr. Zhang turned around and continued teaching, lecturing extensively, citing classics to illustrate the plots of the books. Everyone listened, confused, but they cooperated very well, nodding in agreement from time to time.

During this period, Zheng Yuan discovered something strange when he passed by Ergou's house every day. Among the five puppies born to Ergou's big yellow dog, one was very special.

There was a puppy that was very black, as shiny black as if it had been soaked in ink, and its eyes were also completely black, as black as a piece of charcoal.

Other dogs are spotted white, or white with black, gray, yellow and other colors, but he is pure black. He is also excluded, and other puppies seem reluctant to get close to him.

The big yellow dog also disliked it. Zheng Yuan saw the little black dog crawling to the big yellow dog several times to drink milk.

But the big yellow dog was unwilling to give milk to the little black dog, and the little black dog crawled towards the big yellow dog to drink milk. The big yellow dog either ran away or barked and scolded!

Once, I saw a little black dog dying, lying there groaning softly, as if telling me that it was hungry! Zheng Yuan felt very sorry for the little black dog, and when he saw the big yellow dog, he was furious!

He went to the doghouse, grabbed the big yellow dog and gave it a good beating. Then he pressed it to the ground and let the little black dog suck its milk. After beating the big yellow dog several times, it learned its lesson.

Zheng Yuan also told Aunt Wang that he wanted to adopt Xiao Hei when he grew up. Aunt Wang appreciated his decision and agreed. She said that it would be difficult to raise too many dogs, as dogs also need to eat. Too many dogs would be a burden, so giving them away would be a good option.

Zheng Yuan used his free time to make a kitchen knife. He had shed countless sweat and sweat in order to make this knife. Looking at the sharp knife in his hand, Zheng Yuan pulled out a strand of his hair, put it on the knife and blew gently, but there was no reaction!

Zheng Yuan touched his head a little embarrassedly, and continued to polish the kitchen knife until he was satisfied. He then applied a layer of oil to prevent it from rusting, and wrapped it in oil paper and stored it away.

A month later, Zheng Yuan took out the kitchen knife that had been stored away, went to the room to find a piece of red cloth, wrapped it up with the red cloth, and planned to give it to Aunt Wang.

As a gift for adopting Xiao Hei, he picked up the wrapped kitchen knife, opened the door and said something to his cheap dad.

Zheng Yuan came to Aunt Wang's house, and Ergou was also at home. Zheng Yuan saw Ergou and asked, "Ergou, is your mother here? I brought a gift for Aunt Wang.

Brother Xiao Yuan, my mother is in the kitchen! What gift did you bring for her?

It’s nothing, I just made a kitchen knife and gave it to your mother.

Ergou shouted towards the kitchen, "Mom, Brother Xiaoyuan brought you a gift."

The middle-aged woman's voice came from the kitchen, "Xiao Yuan is here, what gift do you bring?" she said with a smile.

Zheng Yuan came to the kitchen and handed the kitchen knife he made to Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang, "Aunt Wang, I'm giving you this kitchen knife I made myself. My craftsmanship is not very good, and I don't know if it will be suitable for you. You can try it first. If it doesn't work, I'll take it back and modify it."

Xiao Yuan, I heard that your cooking skills are quite good. Aunt Wang's face was full of joy when she got the kitchen knife. She found some vegetables to try her hand with in front of Zheng Yuan.

The kitchen knife is very easy to use and very sharp, so it can cut vegetables very cleanly and neatly.

Looking at the knife, Aunt Wang couldn't let it go. She kept praising Zheng Yuan for his extraordinary craftsmanship at such a young age, which made Zheng Yuan feel a little embarrassed.

For a housewife who cooks every day, having a sharp kitchen knife is very important, just like a skilled swordsman having a sharp sword. The feeling of love, excitement, and achievement that comes with it is incomprehensible to outsiders.

When they came out of Ergou's house, Zheng Yuan was still holding Xiaohei in his arms. Xiaohei nudged Zheng Yuan in his arms and rubbed his head against Zheng Yuan's face, showing his affection for him. When Ergou took Xiaohei away, he looked reluctant to let him go.

Brother Xiao Yuan, can I visit your house often to see Xiao Hei?

Zheng Yuan laughed and scolded, "You kid, my house is just a few steps away from yours. Why don't you just come over if you want to? Look at you, you're so stupid, you act like someone else is marrying off their daughter."

Hahaha, the two looked at each other and laughed.

When Zheng Yuan was about to arrive home, Zhao Linger had just walked out of the house and they bumped into each other. Zhao Linger saw Xiao Hei in Zheng Yuan's arms and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Xiao Yuan, is this Xiao Hei from Ergou's family?"

If you take him home to raise him, can Ling'er hold Xiao Hei?

"Of course you can!" Zheng Yuan said as he handed Xiao Hei to Ling'er. Xiao Hei immediately snuggled into Ling'er's arms, barking happily. Zheng Yuan was also a little puzzled. "Don't dogs bark?" he asked. "Why is Xiao Hei barking?" he asked.

The two of them came to Zheng Yuan's house together, and first built a doghouse for Xiao Hei together, but neither of them had built a doghouse before.
