Chapter 10: Methods for Dealing with Mischievous Children
Although I cannot understand what this new gentleman is saying, it seems quite impressive!
Children speak without restraint, and the adults in the village naturally do not hold anything against them. Over time, such thoughts will increasingly take root in their minds, and they themselves will not even realize what is inappropriate.
Legend has it that a long, long time ago, the world was divided into the Eastern Victory Divine Continent, the Western Cowherd Continent, the Southern Zhanbu Continent, and the Northern Julu Continent. In the Eastern Victory Divine Continent, in the proud nation of Aolai, there is a Flower and Fruit Mountain, on which there is a celestial stone. One day, the celestial stone cracked, and a stone monkey jumped out from within it, its eyes shooting forth beams of golden light
Such gazes are not uncommon; the several young boys around him all possess the same thing in their eyes
It is clearly their first meeting, and he did not know these mischievous children at all before this
A monkey dressed in golden armor gradually became clear before their eyes, wielding a stick that could change size, stirring up storms in this world...
In front of Li Yi, a phantom book floated, with the three large characters "Journey to the West" inscribed on it
"A filial son emerges from the rod," remains the only creed for these unenlightened ordinary people when it comes to educating their children
Looking at the few obvious troublemakers beside him who shared the same animosity, Li Yi finally understood the source of their subtle hostility towards him
However, the appearance of Li Yi has dealt a devastating blow to these immature children.
Growing up in Liuye Village, everyone around me, including my own elders, were uneducated rough individuals, so how could they understand how to tell any stories
In the chaos before the heavens and the earth were separated, no one could be seen in the vastness. Since Pangu broke the primordial chaos, from then on, the distinction between purity and turbidity was established... Li Yi read these two lines and suddenly felt that something was amiss. He turned around to look at the bewildered expressions of the children, and only then did he realize that he had casually picked up an original edition of "Journey to the West," which had relatively obscure language. Given the intelligence of these children, they certainly would not be able to understand it. He suddenly felt that something was amiss. He turned around to look at the bewildered expressions of the children, and only then did he realize that he had casually picked up an original edition of "Journey to the West," which had relatively obscure language. Given the intelligence of these children, they certainly would not be able to understand it
He has gained some understanding of the current world, including various customs, habits, and etiquette norms, which are largely comparable to ancient China, where the respect for teachers and the emphasis on the way of virtue remain mainstream thoughts
In consideration of their own interests, these unruly children dared not act too recklessly in the classroom. However, even though they had all taken their seats, their faces still bore a proud and defiant expression, with their clear and transparent eyes filled with disdain.
This ideology penetrates every social class, so even if these unruly children feel discontented in their hearts, they still obediently return to their respective places
Before the formal lecture even began, Li Yi had already successfully piqued the curiosity of the children.
This is a world they have never encountered before, where deities reign and demons run rampant
The Monkey King is born, pays homage to Bodhi, borrows treasures from the Dragon Palace, and creates havoc in the Heavenly Palace
A thought crossed my mind, and a vernacular version of Journey to the West was already before me
Sitting at the front, the most robust boy, although there was a hint of expectation in his eyes, still disdainfully curled his lips and said: "This broken story, what is there to listen to..."
It turns out that thunder and lightning are caused by the Thunder God and the Lightning Mother striking a gong in the heavens; it turns out that after a person dies, their soul goes to a place called the Underworld, where there are the King of Hell and the judges, as well as the Black and White Impermanence; it turns out that some people can fly through the sky and traverse the earth, summoning winds and calling forth rain; ... it turns out that above their heads, deep within the clouds, there are countless magnificent palaces ...
Li Yi was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this, unable to regain his composure for a moment. A child who had not even fully grown up was actually thinking of marrying someone as his wife
As Li Yi spoke eloquently, a bizarre new world slowly opened its doors before the mischievous children
It is fortunate that they are merely some innocent children; had it been someone else, they might have resorted to wielding a kitchen knife to duel with him.
When hearing that the monkey ascended to the thirty-third heaven alone, and that a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals could do nothing to him, the boy sitting in the front, with his small chubby face flushed red, even his breathing became rapid, ... his eyes emitted an unprecedented intense brilliance ...
Even with Li Yi's two lifetimes of experience, he still cannot comprehend what these mischievous children are truly thinking in their hearts
What qualifications do you have to be the husband of Sister Ru Yi
In the chaos before the separation of heaven and earth, amidst the vastness and obscurity, no one was seen. Ever since Pangu broke through the primordial chaos, he has since opened up the distinction between purity and turbidity. However, Li Yi was unaware that the two lines he had just recited resonated like thunder in the minds of the group of unruly children.
However, upon careful consideration, it is quite normal; these unruly children running around the village in the nude know very little. Most likely, when they see beautiful women, they boldly declare that they will marry one of them when they grow up.
It seems that he has still underestimated the charm of his own wife
Thinking about the goddess I wished to marry when I grew up becoming someone else's wife, I naturally feel quite indignant in my heart
When one is truly bored, one can indeed pester the second uncle to recount the legendary tales of the Liu family's ancestors from back in the day, but listening to such stories too often can also become tiresome. Mr. Qin is the only educated person in the village, yet he always wears a cold, expressionless face in class, frightening the children so much that they dare not make a sound. Expecting him to share any interesting stories is nothing more than a daydream.
Upon hearing the word "story," the faces of the group of mischievous children immediately changed to one of interest, revealing their curiosity.
At this moment, Li Yifu's magnetic voice once again reached the ears of the mischievous child
At that moment, the sturdy boy looked up at Li Yi and said, "When I grow up, I want to marry Sister Ruyi!"
To deal with these naive little brats, he has a myriad of methods at his disposal
In the classroom, the mischievous children were already immersed in this magical world, each person wide-eyed and listening attentively, with not a sound to be heard.
The thoughts of mischievous children are quite simple, and what they think is clearly written on their faces. Li Yi cast a faint glance at them and slowly said: "This morning is our first class. We won't teach anything else; let's start with a story to help everyone relax."
He cast a glance at those unruly children, resembling combative roosters. Naturally, he would not bother to argue with them. Clearing his throat, he said, "All of you, return to your seats. If you do not remember what I teach you today, you are not allowed to go home for dinner"
Li Yi took in all the expressions of the mischievous children, and a smile involuntarily curved at the corners of his mouth
A few seconds after Li Yi opened his mouth, the expressions on all the mischievous children's faces changed; one by one, they opened their mouths wide, and their big eyes shone with an incredible light
What is the source of that faint hostility
The chubby boy appeared to be around ten years old. When Li Yi turned his head to look, the boy was gazing at him with a defiant expression, and there was surprisingly a hint of scrutiny in his eyes
In the past, when Mr. Qin was present, if they misbehaved in class, he would inform their parents about their behavior, and upon returning home, they would inevitably face a severe punishment
The first meeting with the mischievous children was not particularly harmonious, and Li Yi appropriately asserted a bit of Mr. Authority.
Today, I will tell a story about a monkey
