LITTLE GOBLIN: Master, Don’t Come Here!

In the remote area to the south of Dayue Kingdom, there is a small county called Sihu.

The county seat is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and faces water on one side. It is located in the deep mountains and people don't know it.

Sihu County is not big, and there are three or four small towns below, and there are many people who have lived here for generations.

If you want to go out from Sihu County, the only way you have to go is to go up the mountain. Take the mountain road and pass through it.

A mountain called Yinshan.

Hearing the name, there was an ominous meaning.

There are ghosts in Yinshan Mountain, and you are not allowed to enter the mountain after dark.

These are the words of every child in Sihu County, who have been warned by their elders since childhood.

Even the most daring young and middle-aged men, when they go out, they have to invite three or five men with the same big arms and round waists to encourage each other before they dare to enter the mountain, and they must enter the mountain before sunrise. Don't dare to rest, come out before sunset.

Zhang Mingqiao grew up listening to such words.

He is an orphan who was raised by hundreds of neighbors since he was a child.

Sihu County is small and there are few people. The people on one street have lived here for generations. They have been neighbors since a hundred years ago, and the relationship is much more stable than in ordinary places.

It is said that Zhang Mingqiao's father was a juren, and he was an extremely important figure in the entire county. It is said that Zhang Mingqiao's mother married in from another place. For this reason, his mother has always been loved in Sihu County - there are not many girls who dare to marry here.

The originally well-to-do family collapsed because of Zhang Juren's inexplicable cold.

First, the hostess died of illness, and then the hostess couldn't bear the blow, and she also couldn't afford the illness. In such a big family, only Zhang Mingqiao, who was only eight years old at the time, was left.

The family didn't have any money left to hire a servant. Except for a Han Sheng who grew up with Zhang Mingqiao, there was no one else in the Zhang family's mansion.

Good-hearted neighbors, although they have no conditions to take people to their own homes for education, they will give Zhang Mingqiao a portion of any good food cooked at home; warm-hearted ladies, when making clothes for their juniors, they will always give Zhang Mingqiao Bring one with you; during the New Year's Eve, Zhang Mingqiao will also be invited to his home for dinner.

Even the private school teacher in the county did not accept Zhang Mingqiao's money and let him study with him all the time - he admired Zhang Juren very much back then.

Therefore, although Zhang Mingqiao lost his parents since childhood, he has never experienced any suffering in the world, and his temperament is very upright.

From the age of eight to eighteen, for ten years, his only goal was to take part in the imperial examination, at least one of the masters came back.

The son of Juren must also be admitted to Juren. People in Sihu County always seem to take this for granted.

As a matter of fact, Zhang Mingqiao is indeed a good reader. He has studied the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child.

Zhang Mingqiao was admitted as a scholar at the age of thirteen, which is already a rare genius.

People in the county said that he was too young, and asked him to study for a few more years, and when he was older, he would leave Sihu County to participate in the autumn.

As soon as it was delayed, it was delayed until the age of eighteen.

Since Zhang Mingqiao was the only one left in the Zhang family, the teacher of the private school performed the crowning ceremony for him in advance before he set off. In this way, Zhang Mingqiao was considered an adult.

Today is the auspicious day that Mr. Private School is optimistic about, and Zhang Mingqiao is going out.

It is still very early, the east is a little white, and the red sun has not yet appeared.
