Chapter 203 Helping Seedlings Grow Too Quickly Has Some Effect
"Unless what?"
Wen Chengyu hurriedly interrupted Wen Chengjian, her tears instantly disappearing and her eyes shining brightly.
Why are you in such a hurry!
Wen Chengjian couldn't help but grumble inwardly.
If they get anxious, it means they've taken the bait; as long as they're hooked, that's good.
He might as well exercise his rights as the eldest brother.
This kid is a bit unruly because he's young and his grandparents, parents, brothers, and sisters dote on him. He's been especially naughty lately.
Instead of practicing martial arts and memorizing formulas, he spends all his time talking about eating and drinking well, showing a lazy and gluttonous attitude.
He wouldn't be his big brother if he didn't deflate this kid's arrogance.
"Unless you can recite the formula."
"Huh? Recite the mnemonic?"
Wen Chengyu was bitter inside and bitter outside.
He was really about to cry.
Memorizing is too difficult. He can remember the beginning but not the end, he can remember the left side but not the right side. He's not familiar with these words, how can he memorize them?
Wen Chengyu, quite pathetically, looked up at Wen Chengjian, and tears streamed down her face.
Wen Chengjian frowned; he had no intention of feeling sorry for this brat.
Her pitiful and aggrieved appearance had no effect on him; he wasn't buying it.
Wen Chengjian hardened his heart and said, "It's not that I'm asking you to memorize it right away."
The little one's voice was very nasal, and he asked in a tearful tone, "Then how do I memorize it?"
“I’ll carry you on my back for a while, and you have to silently recite it once, not in a jumbled or incoherent way.”
"Could you give me a hint in the meantime?"
"Okay, if you've been reminded more than three times, you have to memorize it again."
Wen Chengyu couldn't believe the punishment. "Huh? I have to carry it again?"
Wen Chengjian's answer left no room for discussion: "Yes, recite it one more time."
Wen Chengyu glanced at the small boats on the lake, then at the person beside him who looked up at the sky. He decided it was better to rely on himself than others, so he took a gamble and said, "Okay, I agree."
Hey, you actually agreed!
The child's appearance amused Wen Chengjian.
Wen Chengjian had no choice but to tease his good younger brother again, "Aren't you ashamed? You're so old and you're still crying, it's so ugly, wipe your tears clean."
He changed the subject, his gaze falling on the children beside him.
The children looked on indifferently as he tried to ingratiate himself with their cuteness.
Oh dear, he's a total straight man; acting cute or cool won't work on him.
After dealing with one, there's another one to go.
"Yao Xiaomi!"
When her name was called, Yao Xiaomi instinctively stood at attention and shouted, "Here!"
"Hey hey hey..."
The adults watching couldn't help but chuckle.
Look at how straight this child is standing, like a scallion.
Yao Xiaomi stared straight ahead, intently at Wen Chengjian's legs. He was short, so there was nothing he could do; he wasn't even as tall as Wen Chengjian's waist.
Alarm bells rang in the child's mind, and doubts arose in his heart.
What did his older cousin want him to do? Did he want him to memorize the mnemonic rhymes too?
but.
He didn't seem to really want to fly onto that boat. It was too small and dilapidated, not even as big as the black-sailed boat they used to harvest lotus leaves at his family's farm!
That's too shabby. Yes, he didn't like boarding that wrecked ship.
The child puffed out his little chest, remained silent, and waited for his older cousin's instructions.
Wen Chengjian looked at the scallion, unable to bear to damage it. "Xiaomi, recite the rhyme with me, understand? Can you do it?"
Yao Xiaomi was internally devastated and instinctively wanted to refuse, but before she could speak, she turned to look at Wen Chengyu, whose eyes revealed an expression of "I can do it".
Well, for a friend, I'd go to great lengths. They're in the same boat, so I'll reluctantly board this wrecked ship.
Having made up her mind, Yao Xiaomi looked up and stared directly at Wen Chengjian, "I think... it's possible..."
That stuttering is terrible!
Absolutely!
Wen Chengjian frowned upon hearing this; this little troublemaker was slippery.
In a serious tone, he said, "If you can, you can; if you can't, you can't. What does 'can you' mean?"
In an instant, Yao Xiaomi straightened up and answered loudly, "Yes!"
His tone was forceful and resonant, his voice hoarse and strained, carrying the piercing cries of a child.
Okay, the two lazy brothers took care of it.
After discussing it with his family, Wen Chengjian took Wen Chengyu and they were the first to drift towards the small boat.
Because the boat is too small, it cannot accommodate too many people at once.
Therefore, we can only do it one at a time.
Wen Chengyu paid a heavy price for experiencing the feeling of floating on water.
He only stayed on the small boat for a short while before being taken to the pavilion and made to recite incantations.
Several children took turns being led to experience walking on water, and then they were all made to recite rhymes in the pavilion.
Finally, it was the turn of the children's leader—Wen Chengmo.
Wen Chengmo looked at his second brother, who was standing beside him with his arms crossed and glancing at him sideways.
I was puzzled. All the other younger siblings were being carried on their older brothers' backs. Why didn't my second brother squat down? Did he expect me to jump onto his back? It's so high, he can't reach it.
Sigh, it's really tough on this kid.
Wen Chengmo nudged Wen Chengbin's arm. "Second brother, will you carry me on your back?"
"Pshaw, dream on. How old are you to still be carrying someone on your back? Have you no shame?"
Caught off guard by the scolding, Wen Chengmo's face immediately flushed red, and he flew into a rage, "You were carrying me on your back yesterday, and today I'm all grown up? You brat, huh!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you've got quite a temper. Wait till you fall into the lake, then we'll see who stinks."
"you!"
Seeing the child about to go berserk, Wen Chengbin stopped teasing him. "Alright, your second brother is holding your hand. Run freely, don't worry. If you really fall into the lake, your second brother will definitely save you, hahaha..."
This obsequious tone thoroughly enraged Wen Chengmo. "Ah! Second brother, I'll tell eldest uncle."
"Goro, what should I tell my uncle?"
The front yard delivery was nearing completion when Wen Qilin and his group walked into the back yard and overheard the child's complaint.
Wen Chengbin grabbed Wen Chengmo and ran towards the lake, leaving behind the words, "Uncle, Fifth Brother is a bit pretentious. It's alright, I'll straighten him out."
Wen Qilin and Wen Qikang watched helplessly as Wen Chengbin and his younger brother drifted erratically on the lake, sometimes in a straight line, sometimes in a curve, landing on the small boat for a few breaths before returning to the lake to continue their serpentine course.
"These kids have so many tricks up their sleeves!"
"That's absolutely right!"
The two walked toward the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Several children were reciting rhymes in the pavilion, especially Wen Chengyu and Yao Xiaomi, who were doing it very loudly and excitedly.
Wen Chengyu had just finished reciting it and, without pausing for a second, excitedly exclaimed, "Alright, I've memorized it! Now I can float around again, big brother, let's go!"
Yao Xiaomi, having just finished reciting, excitedly said, "Third cousin, I've finished reciting it, not a single word missed! Let's go, let's float away! Hehehe..."
Yao Xiaomi had long forgotten that this was a dilapidated ship. Whether it floated or not was irrelevant to the dilapidated ship; he only cared about his feelings.
They practiced their skills while playing around, and time flew by. The sun slowly set.
It's time to go back to the inn.
The group packed a few baskets, put in some food and supplies, and strode out of the courtyard gate.
Following the route I came from, I passed through bustling streets, past familiar shops, and returned to the inn.
Just as dinner was served, the family enjoyed another lively meal together.
It must be said that the children were much more serious than before when they cultivated at night. With the help of the spiritual energy they attracted, Ye Jingchuan, Wen Chengxi and Wen Chengfeng successfully advanced.
At this point, all the adult males of the Wen family had embarked on the path of Qi Refining.
A dreamless night.
At the hour of Yin (3-5 AM) on the second day, the main force left the city on time and continued its journey northward.
