"Grandmaster, that’s not so important."
"You, you’re just a young lad, what do you know? Wait till you grow up, you’ll be so frustrated and regretful. Listen to Grandmaster, try to get in touch with your Grandpa Bei, let them get you back."
"Grandmaster, my surna is Li now."
"Ah, you tell , what kind of nonsense is your mother up to, you aren’t hurt, but it pains Grandmaster. I feel like I’ve let you down, it’s such a sha, my boy’s future, just like that, ruined."
"Grandmaster, it’s alright, worst cos to worst I’ll... I’ll follow my mom’s steps, get into a university in a big city, that’s all."
"Right, about attending school, nearly forgot!"
Li Sanjiang leaped up from the bed like a carp and quickly ran to the stool, opening the bag containing the household register and other docunts.
"I still need to ask soone to find a school for you. Is Shinan Primary School okay? Forget it, Shigang is bigger, we’re going to Shigang for primary school."
"Primary school..."
"I’m telling you, Little Yuanhou, you can play however you want during the sumr vacation, but once the school term starts officially, you mustn’t fall behind. You need to focus on your studies."
"Grandmaster, do you know anyone in the schools?"
"If I don’t know them, can’t I still find them? Even if I can’t find a direct contact, as long as we can find an indirect one who can reliably take the money, that’s enough.
I’ve heard that schools also divide classes into good and bad ones, we’ve got to try our hardest to get you into a good class. By the way, Xiao Yuan, what grade are you in?"
"Grandmaster, Uncle Tan last ti was quite nice."
"Uncle Tan? Which Uncle Tan?"
"The Captain Tan from the police station."
"We’ve only t twice, not close at all, and besides, he’s not from the school."
"Shigang Town is only so big, it would definitely be more convenient with his help. He invited to his house last ti, I’ll take my file over in a bit and ask him."
"Okay, then Grandmaster will go with you when the ti cos."
"No need, if he can’t get it done, it would be more embarrassing if you went too. It’s more appropriate for a kid like to ask."
"Then let’s settle on that for now, you go ask when you visit his house, and I’ll also look for soone on my part."
Seeing that Li Sanjiang had agreed, Li Zhiyuan also felt a sigh of relief in his heart.
He didn’t want to leave here now, but he didn’t want Grandmaster to send him to primary school all of a sudden.
Although he hadn’t had many contacts with Captain Tan, the man owed him a favor last ti, so he should be willing to help, mainly to skip grades, preferably to senior year.
That way, he could take the college entrance examination in a year.
To shorten the ti, he could also participate in the national Math Olympiad held every winter to secure a direct admission slot.
But where should he go for university?
Since Li Lan didn’t want to see him, he wouldn’t go where she was.
An idea of a university suddenly ca to Li Zhiyuan, its na and majors both very suitable for his current situation... Haihe University.
At that thought, Li Zhiyuan couldn’t help but smile to himself:
Brother Liangliang, looks like we’re really going to be schoolmates in the future.
Grandmaster scratched his head and thought of his network of relationships, while Li Zhiyuan walked out to continue reading his book.
He didn’t co down to eat until Aunt Liu called for lunch.
Sitting on his little stool, seeing the spot beside him empty and the girl’s small plate not on the table, he indeed felt a sense of emptiness.
Turning his head, he saw Alii’s small dining table moved inside the eastern room, Liu Yui sorted her food while persuading her.
Finally, Alii picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.
Liu Yui nodded in satisfaction, and when she stood up, she felt a bit of a sore back. Before, a single word from the boy was enough to get Alii to eat, no need for her to persuade like this.
Suddenly, she felt an urgency in her heart, she was getting older, if she were to leave one day, and Alii’s condition hadn’t improved, then who would take care of Alii?
Li Sanjiang also ca down to eat. After sitting down, he saw Li Zhiyuan sitting there alone, looked around, and noticed the girl had moved to eat inside the house, which made him slam his chopsticks down discontentedly:
"I an, does it have to be this pragmatic? Our Little Yuanhou is just without a Beijing hukou, and that’s it, she doesn’t want to eat at the sa table?"
Just as his words fell, Panzi and Leizi ca running over, soaked in sweat.
"Grandmaster, Grandmaster, sothing bad happened. Sothing went wrong in Sihai’s fish pond. When they started to harvest the pond, lots of red water, like blood, suddenly appeared, and Sihai and the others who were laying nets in the pond, they all got sores on them!"
"Grandmaster, they asked us to co and get you to have a look."
"What?" Li Sanjiang jumped to his feet, "Run Sheng, let’s go have a look!"
Upon hearing the description, Li Zhiyuan internally pondered: Could it be ’Earth Yin Red Sha’?
Liu Yui stroked her temples, also puzzled, how could there be ’Earth Yin Red Sha’ in this area?
Reluctant to part, Run Sheng put down his rice bowl and followed Li Sanjiang.
Li Zhiyuan didn’t go; he wouldn’t approach any bodies of water until he was certain the Luck on him was resolved.
Back on the second floor, Li Zhiyuan reopened his book and continued reading.
But if it was indeed ’Earth Yin Red Sha’, then Grandmaster shouldn’t be in any danger, since this kind of Feng Shui trap would only appear at the spot of the bait.
From ancient tis to the present, it wasn’t only auspicious sites such as famous mountains and rivers where things were buried. In fact, many ancients chose to bury things in riverbeds, such as tombs, temples, treasures, and so on.
With silt accumulation and river changes being very rapid, it becos easier to form dramatic changes of landscapes, making it harder for others to find.
’Earth Yin Red Sha’ is a more traditional kind of Feng Shui trap layout. Once it is breached, whatever is inside can quickly spread with the water and harm those who pry.
