This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 8 Good Mental State

After a while, Liu Hongyu's overly excited heart finally calmed down, and he was full of expectations for the future.

A little bit of cold is nothing at all, and there is no need for a second dose of medicine. Liu Hongyu only drank one bowl of medicine that day, sweated at night, and felt healthy the next day.

But because he had nowhere to go, Liu Hongyu temporarily stayed at the Mu family.

There are no female members in the Mu family, only Grandpa Mu and his grandson Xiaowen.

There was also an apprentice of the old man who often came during the day, but he was already married and had his own residence. When Liu Hongyu first came, he had gone into the mountains to collect herbs.

As for Xiaowen's parents, the old man said that they went into the mountains together two years ago and died in the mouths of wild beasts in the mountains. He didn't say anything else.

Of course, the days that followed were obviously not peaceful. It was not Liu Hongyu who was restless, as he had not had time to do so, but the people in the valley were restless.

This is a person who came from outside. Almost everyone is talking about him and everyone wants to come and see him.

So from the next day onwards, there was a constant stream of people coming to the clinic, intentionally or unintentionally, but few came to see a doctor, but most came to see a doctor.

Although Liu Hongyu had been locked up in a mental hospital for several years, he had seen big scenes since he was a child, but these two days were almost causing him to develop social phobia.

Liu hadn't learned much from others yet, yet everyone here wanted to know what was going on outside, such as who the emperor was, whether the world was still in chaos, how he got here, whether he had encountered any wild animals on the road, and some even asked about marriage.
There are also many families who want to invite Liu Hongyu to dinner.

But after going there a few times, Liu Hongyu was never fooled again. Indeed, every family he went to was very warm and treated him with good wine and food.

But the interrogation at the dinner table was simply a purgatory-like torture. Not every ancient person fully understood the boundaries of amnesia. Liu Hongyu experienced all kinds of complex and even incredible problems many times.

The curiosity of the ancients was no less than that of future generations.
The key is that the language of the "ancient people" also took Liu Hongyu a while to adapt. Some words were very literary, and some were circuitous. If a sentence he couldn't understand popped up occasionally, his classical Chinese skills would have to be refreshed in his brain.

When answering, Liu Hongyu had to try his best to imitate the logic of the ancients, which was very tiring.

So after that, Liu Hongyu declined every invitation to dinner and spent two days in isolation.

Fortunately, under this high-intensity training, Liu Hongyu is also quickly adapting to ancient life.

Completely different from when he was in the mental hospital, Liu Hongyu was full of curiosity about everything here and burst out with amazing energy, trying his best to understand everything about Yinxian Valley in his own way.
-
Early that morning, Liu Hongyu accompanied Mu Hongwen to the only school in Yinxian Valley.

Although he has only been in the valley for six or seven days, Liu Hongyu has his own understanding of this place.

The environment of Yinxian Valley is unique. Even with Liu Hongyu's limited knowledge, it can definitely be called a place where heaven and earth are blessed with spiritual energy.

As for the others, Liu Hongyu might not have had time to get to know them in detail, but he was clear about one thing: in terms of reputation in the valley, the two were the most famous, a doctor and a scholar.

The "one doctor" refers to the Mu family where the clinic is located; the "one scholar" refers to the place where the Gu Middle School is located.

Doctors are people who save lives and heal the wounded. If there is any illness in the valley, they need help from doctors. They represent the vitality of Yinxian Valley, so they have an extraordinary status.

The book is the location of the Yinxian Valley School. Since the ancient sages retired from the world, they have educated generations of people in the valley. It represents the inheritance of knowledge and principles, as well as rules and etiquette, which are the foundation of being human.

This is the conclusion Liu Hongyu came to after asking others and thinking about it himself.

Because of this, even a farmer who has been farming all his life in Yinxian Valley may be able to read and write.

Although there are some illiterate people who cannot even recognize a single big character, there are definitely many people who can read and write, maybe even more than half!
Liu Hongyu remembers that when he was a child, he was naughty and didn’t want to go to school. His father always said that mastering knowledge is a shortcut to mastering wealth and status. In ancient times, who was rich, powerful and had status but a knowledgeable person?

It’s not that ordinary people don’t want to learn, but they are simply not qualified to learn. Those who can recognize words are one in a thousand.

Thousands of years later, the Chinese people who overthrew the old rule through reform were still mostly illiterate, not even as good as this ancient valley.

Coupled with the natural filter of Yinxian Valley in his heart, Liu Hongyu was also full of awe for the master.

If the immortal master has already appeared, then the doctor and the writer are most likely to know the key information!
Doctor Mu's medical skills are indeed outstanding, and he has a bit of an immortal-like air, but Liu Hongyu lives in the Mu family and is most familiar with the old man, so he has plenty of opportunities, but he has never met Master Zhuang.

At this moment, as Mu Hongwen approached the school, Liu Hongyu was getting nervous. Would this person who inherited the wisdom of hundreds of schools of thought and was a scholar be able to see through me easily? How should I deal with it?
"Hey, why are you walking slower and slower? I'm going to be late, and then you won't be the one to get punished! I won't wait for you anymore!"

Mu Hongwen complained and quickened his pace.

"Uh okay!"

Liu Hongyu was not annoyed at being taught a lesson by such a young child, and hurriedly followed the other party and quickened his pace.

He met many people from the valley on the way. Some would say hello, some would watch from afar, and some would directly invite Liu Hongyu to their homes.

But at this point, Liu Hongyu naturally understood that it was definitely not because he was handsome, and this was not the former Zhonghai City, where there were not so many people surrounding the eldest son of the Liu family.

People become the focus simply because they are special outsiders, out of curiosity, and because of the inherent warmth and kindness here.

There were more and more children around, both boys and girls, tall and short. It was obvious that there was no taboo against girls going to school here.

Without exception, these children all looked at Liu Hongyu with curiosity as they walked. Some were brave enough to come and say hello, but most of them just watched.

"Uh, Xiaowen, is your teacher fierce?"

Seeing more and more children and even seeing the school in the distance, Liu Hongyu couldn't help but ask a question.

"That's fierce. No, that's not fierce, the teacher is strict!"

As soon as these words fell, some of the students nearby started to make a fuss.

"Oh~~Mu Hongwen, you're talking about the Master behind his back!" "Haha, I heard it too!"

"Oh~~ Xiao Wen said something bad about the teacher, I'm going to tell the teacher~~~" "No, I didn't say that! I didn't say that—"

A group of children chased each other and rushed to the school quickly, so Liu Hongyu had to speed up again.

When they reached the outside of Ningxin Bookstore, the noisy children suddenly quieted down because Zhuang Lin was standing there.

"Good morning, Master~" "Hello, Master"

"Hello, Master."

The children bowed and greeted Zhuang Lin one by one, then hurried to the school behind him.

However, there were many people who started to make a fuss, but no one "exposed" Mu Hongwen.

Zhuang Lin nodded to the children one by one, and finally looked in the direction where the students came from. About five steps away, Liu Hongyu was standing there very stiffly.

Although he was nervous, Liu Hongyu was still looking at the teacher. He had a straight appearance and a slender figure. His Confucian scarf and clothes were well-fitting. Even in early spring, he did not look bloated. His face was calm and his eyes were peaceful.

Although the teacher looked very young, for some reason, when Liu Hongyu met the teacher's eyes, he had a natural feeling, as if he was a child facing his teacher.

Intuitively speaking, this is a temperament that transcends visual perception. Perhaps it is the aura brought by the wise.
Zhuang Lin was actually a little nervous, but he was observing the patient from an outside perspective.

It also has one nose and two eyes, and looks very nervous.

If the person you are facing is more nervous than you, you will appear a lot more relaxed psychologically.

Zhuang Lin smiled, clasped his hands together and bowed to Liu Hongyu.

"I presume this is the Young Master Liu who strayed into the valley. I've heard Mr. Tingwen mention you before, but since I heard you didn't like being disturbed, I didn't go to the clinic to join in the fun. Now I finally get to meet you today. I'm Zhuang Lin, and I'm honored to meet you!"

Mr. Tingwen?

Liu Hongyu was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that it was Mr. Mu's courtesy name, and then hurriedly returned the gift.

"My name is Liu Hongyu, nice to meet you, Master Zhuang!"

Liu Hongyu bowed very low before standing up, which also showed his attitude.
"Master Zhuang, I have many questions I would like to ask you!"

Zhuang Lin nodded and raised his hand to the side.

"Mr. Liu, you are too polite. Come over here, please!"

Liu Hongyu walked up cautiously, but because he was too nervous, he actually stretched out his hand to shake hands with Zhuang Lin.

Zhuang Lin looked at Liu Hongyu's hand with a puzzled look on his face.

"What does this mean?"

"Uh, no, nothing, nothing, Master, please."

Liu Hongyu's face turned red and he really wanted to slap himself twice. Fortunately, Master Zhuang didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and walked towards the school. Liu Hongyu hurried to follow.

However, Liu Hongyu felt that it might be because of his strange behavior just now that the teacher glanced at him from time to time while walking, and he could only pretend nothing happened and did not dare to look back.

Although Zhuang Lin had not met Liu Hongyu directly during this period, the latter's affairs were now a hot topic in the valley, and Zhuang Lin knew a lot about him.

Since the eldest son of the Liu family came here, he has stopped crying and making a fuss, has become more sensible, takes care of his body, and is even no longer picky about food. He also has a strong desire for knowledge and is diligent in his studies.

It can be said that the current Liu Hongyu is completely different from the seriously ill and spoiled young man that Zhuang Lin once knew. If he studies in this state for a few years, it will be no problem for him to get into a prestigious university.

According to the original plan, this state should stay in the "ancient times" for a long time, and it will only stabilize after being beaten by reality.

So, the mental illness of this Liu family's eldest son really has a good chance of being cured!
At the same time, in Zhonghai City, Liu Shihao sat on the bed tiredly, leaning against a cushion, listening to his subordinates' reports.

"The young master has adapted very well to life there. His mental state is excellent, and he's quick-witted and adaptable. Even Mr. Mu approves of this. Boss, the plan is halfway to success!"

"Um"

Liu Shihao responded and slowly closed his eyes. The subordinates beside the bed stood there in silence.

"Go down"

"Okay, boss. Feel free to contact me if you need anything!"

After saying this, the subordinate dared to leave quietly.

"correct."

The subordinate paused and quickly turned to look at the bedside. Liu Shihao had opened his eyes again at this moment.

"You have to make sure the subsequent plan is okay!"

"Don't worry, I'll be watching over it myself, there won't be any mistakes!"

Liu Shihao nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand, and his subordinates stepped out of the room. He glanced outside the room and saw the nanny pushing a food cart in. On the cart were not only breakfast, but also medicine and syringes.
