Xia Mengying said: "The head of the family didn't tell me anything!"

I looked at Xia Mengying and said, "Think carefully, is there anyone or anything related to you?"

Xia Mengying thought for a while before shaking her head and saying, "No! I don't have many interactions with people in the Jianghu world. The only people I have some friendship with are you."

Butcher Wang asked Xia Mengying several questions in succession, but she shook her head repeatedly.

Butcher Wang said helplessly: "I asked everything I could. It seems that Xia Chuan's decision to let her out was just an unintentional move. We thought too much."

"Perhaps I didn't think much about it!" I looked at Xia Mengying and said, "Is there anything the Confucian sect doesn't want you to do? Or someone it doesn't want you to see?"

"It seems...no...no, there should be." Xia Mengying shook her head first, then nodded again: "I remembered, there is indeed such a person."

"He lives not far from us."

My eyes lit up: "Let's go, get in the car first, and we'll talk about the details on the way."

After Xia Mengying got in the car, she said: "I remember that when I was young, probably seven or eight years old! When I was memorizing books in the woods with the children in Banxian Village, I met a person."

"That day, it rained heavily, but we still endorsed the book in the woods as usual."

Lin Zhao couldn't help but ask after hearing this: "It's raining, you still want to go to the woods to endorse?"

Xia Mengyi sighed and said: "That is a compulsory course for the disciples of Banxian Village. We have been in the woods since we were five years old. No matter the wind, frost, rain or snow, we must sit in our seats neatly."

"Until we can keep our minds clear of anything else and recite it with concentration, we can leave there and go to school normally."

"Some people can get out of the book garden in the forest in one or two years, and some people can't leave the book garden when they are ten years old."

"Those people will be eliminated by the Confucian sect, sent away from their parents, and will not be allowed to return to Banxian Village."

"What sustains us out of the forest library is not the desire to learn, but the fear of being taken away from our parents."

Xia Mengying seemed unwilling to say more on this matter, and quickly brought the topic back to the right track: "That day, the temperature suddenly dropped, and we were shivering from the cold, but no one dared to leave the desk, or even dare to rub our hands.

My hands were almost frozen."

"Because we are all afraid of the supervisor who may appear at any time. If he sees us, we will all be punished."

"At that time, a man suddenly appeared in the woods. We all thought it was the superintendent, so we quickly endorsed it loudly, and no one dared to take another look at him."

"The man walked back and forth beside us several times, and as he walked he said: What's the point of doing this? Who are you showing these things to? What's the use?"

"Confucianism! Sooner or later, it will be destroyed in the hands of these people!"

"The roots of Confucianism are rotten, how can we talk about everlasting Confucianism?"

"Preserve heaven's principles and destroy human desires! What a joke, what a big joke!"

Xia Mengying couldn't help but shudder when she said this: "At that time, we didn't know what it meant to 'preserve the principles of nature and destroy human desires'?"

"However, I have never seen someone shouting so loudly in the forest library, so we looked at him together."

"That man was wearing a black Confucian uniform, but there was no trace of Confucianism on him. He looked like a madman no matter what."

"The man said to us: Come, follow me."

"We didn't want to leave at first, but for some reason we followed him out of the forest academy. He took us to a room far away from the academy. Pointing to the room, he said: Go and have a look. There are things in the room.

What?"

"We didn't know what happened, so we just followed his instructions and walked into the house."

"Only after we entered did we find out that it was the place where the superintendent rested. There were wine and food in the room, a stove was lit, and the superintendent and a woman were very drunk."

"The man said: Look, he asked you to endorse the book in the woods, and he was here to have a great time and drink. Don't you want to ask why?"

"When you grow up, don't you want to be like him?"

Xia Mengying said: "I clearly remember that at that time, the oldest senior among us swallowed his saliva and said: I also want to be like this when I grow up, and I want to look like this.

Children endorse.”

"The man laughed and said: That's right, that's right, go back! Go back and ask your parents and teachers why they don't let you do the things they can do. Go ahead!"

"I don't know whether the children in Shuyuan believed what he said or were afraid, but all of them ran away at once. I was the only one who stayed where I was."

"The man asked me: Why don't you go back?"

"I said to him: I think what you said is wrong. But I don't know what is wrong."

"The man touched my head twice: If one day you don't know what to do, you come to Shanglin Village to find me, and I will live there."

"Then the man left."
