Broken Night

Chapter 6 – The next six years

When he heard Xu Tian’s naked threat, Xu Yan just snorted, but didn’t speak, he sat down obediently and drank the fish soup.

Xu Tian’s expression did not change at the moment, but he was secretly happy, this kid finally gave in!

Thinking about it, Xu Tian was taken aback. The last time I had such a sense of success, it was probably because the matchmaker fell in love with me.

“Remember to pack for tomorrow. We’ve had a day off.”

Xu Yan couldn’t help but ask, “Where are you going?”

Xu Tian smiled and said, “Didn’t you say you want to learn the pattern? I won’t teach you, so you have to learn it yourself.”

“Tomorrow, we’ll go to the city.”

…

Big 6 points North and South sides.

With the **** front as the boundary, it seems to divide the whole big 6 in two.

Because of the pleasant and comfortable climate, the south is a rich land, so many nobles living in the south. Over time, it evolved into an imperial system.

Therefore, there are many big cities in the south.

And in the south to the south, there is a big city—to the south.

This city is the last big city at the end of the south, so it is called the city to the south.

The surrounding villages, small cities, and even Nancheng are the core trading markets. Buying, selling, auctioning, and various transactions make the Nancheng extremely prosperous. And because there are several dangerous places in the south and further south, it also attracts many tattooists and tattooists to take risks in this place.

Therefore, even if it is placed in the entire south, Zhinan City is one of the most lively and prosperous cities.

…

Xu Yan followed Xu Tian closely. Even if he had lived in two lifetimes, Xu Yan looked around curiously. After all, they are two worlds, and their architectural styles, clothing styles, and living habits are naturally quite different.

“Follow closely, or you will be caught and sold.” Xu Tian told Xu Yan with the usual parents’ words to scare children, but Xu Yan snorted.

To Nancheng is quite prosperous, and there are countless shouts and noises mingling in the road. The street they are walking on now is the main road to Nancheng—Zhinan Avenue. But this is not the end of Xu Tian, ​​Xu Tian took Xu Yan and walked into a path after a few turns.

It’s just that this path is equally noisy and prosperous, but the walks are full of children and teenagers, all wearing uniforms and carrying schoolbags, with sunny smiles on their faces.

Although this is not the main road to Nancheng, it is also an extremely important street—Xiang Xue Dao.

The name of the Tao is to learn, to the way of learning.

Xiang Xuedao is exactly where the various colleges in the South City are located.

Xu Yan glanced at it, and there were various academies on both sides. At least dozens of them were visually estimated, and he saw that he was confused. As Xu Tian walked, he smiled with Xi: “This is Xiang Xuedao in the southern city. There are thirty-six colleges. In fact, the teaching in each college is similar, and almost every college starts at the age of six. All children should be in school.”

“This is the world of tattoos. At the age of six, it is the talent to detect whether you have tattoos. If you don’t have any talent to practice tattoos at the age of twelve, then the child will completely give up this idea and become a normal person. Of course, this The world is still a place where ordinary people are the majority.”

“It’s just that this is a world where tattoo artists are rampant. Even if you don’t have the talent to practice tattoos, you must know what tattoos are all about, so as not to offend tattoo artists or tattoo masters in the future and bring disaster.”

Xu Tian said with a smile: “And you will begin to spend six years of study in Zhinancheng.”

“Six years?” Xu Yan froze in place, looking over from Xiang Xuedao.

Countless children are running happily, some teenagers are chasing, and some are reading carefully with books…

This is an…

The world of childish farts.

Want to live here for six years by yourself?

Xu Yan grabbed the corner of Xu Tian’s clothes and said seriously: “I thought about it carefully, those who fight and kill are still not suitable for me. I am suddenly very interested in medicine, let’s go home and study medicine. .” Xu Tian couldn’t help laughing, those willow-leaf eyes twitched with laughter, making the young women and schoolgirls around them look bright and exclaimed.

“This can’t be done. For southerners, these six years are necessary. As I said just now, even if you don’t have the talent to learn about tattoos, you still need to understand them. This is a world dominated by tattoos.”

“Countless occupations and production are all based on tattoos.”

“The tattooist kills the tattooed beasts because of the materials needed for the tattooing. Professional beastmen will know which parts are the most precious and suitable for tattooing; for example, when collecting rare and exotic grasses, they also need to know which parts are suitable for tattooing. ; Like being a chef, you also need to make grains to be the most sought-after chef; even if you are a coachman and groom, you must know which places are forbidden to enter or go.”

“In other words, the pattern is the mainstream that dominates the world. Cognition is necessary.”

Xu Tian patted Xu Yan’s small shoulder and said with a smile, “The most important thing is, your father and I have paid all the tuition fees. If you dare not go to school, I will break your legs.” Xu Tian said with a smile. With such terrifying words, Xu Yan felt a chill in his heart.

…

“Then I’ll ask the teacher.” Xu Tian enthusiastically held the middle-aged man in front of him.

This middle-aged man was tall, at least 1.9 meters tall. Even if Xu Tian was about 1.8 meters tall, he was still a step behind the middle-aged man in front of him.

It’s just strange that his hands were tightly wrapped with black cloth, but he couldn’t see any other skin except his fingers.

“Mr. Xu is very kind. Although it’s a day late, it shouldn’t be a big problem. If you live, it’s better to live in the dormitory in the academy?”

Xu Tian continued to hold the middle-aged man’s hand and said very kindly: “Yes, it’s better to stay in a dormitory. This kid is tough and can live anywhere. If there is really no room, just throw him to the woodshed. Can.”

Xu Yan, who was behind him, was stunned.

In the past, he looked like a loving father!

“However, when the school is off, the child still goes home.” Xu Tian looked at Xu Yan dotingly, and touched Xu Yan’s shiny bald head: “This child is too filial, and he was with Xu Yan just now. I said that I am interested in studying medicine, and I want to practice medicine with me. Since the child is interested, being a father naturally needs to be taught.”

Xu Yan was already stunned.

Why does he feel like he has been sold?

When the middle-aged man heard this, his thick brows frowned: “The tattoos are extensive and profound, even if you study for a lifetime, you won’t have enough time… Is it wrong to practice multiple disciplines like this?” He said this purely out of kindness, learning everything In the end, it is very likely that you will not be proficient in everything.

Xu Tian hehe smiled: “I don’t worry about this. My child is a genius, hehehehehe.”

“Ha…ha…” The thick-browed middle-aged man forced a few laughs, but didn’t take it to heart. This kind of blind love and pride of parents for their children, he has been a teacher for many years.

Xu Tian squatted down, those crescent-like eyes looked at Xu Yan: “Remember to study hard.”

Xu Yan opened his mouth slightly and looked at him dully.

In the eyes of the thick-browed man, it was just a child who couldn’t bear his father. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Yan’s little hand: “Come on, go to the classroom.”

Xu Tian smiled and waved off Xu Yan.
