Chapter 15
Who cares about you?
Shen Liuzhen knew very well that on the one hand, the teacher and his wife really doted on Xie Yuan, their only son.
This doting is reflected in the fact that they only care about whether Xie Yuanshou is injured. As long as he is not injured, he can do whatever he likes, whether it is studying literature or martial arts.
But on the other hand, the Xie family attaches great importance to character and family style. Therefore, the teacher's most stringent requirements for Xie Yuan are her behavior and moral character.
There is nothing wrong with Xie Yuan's character, at least compared to him, he is just an upright and naive little white rabbit.
But for a restless child, it shouldn't be too easy to find fault with Xie Yuan's behavior.
Because for Xie Yuan, being beaten can only be effective for five days at most.
On this day, Lieutenant Shen took his two children to the market to select two docile ponies and prepare to teach them how to ride horses.
Early in the morning, before it was even bright, Captain Shen went out with a few soldiers and two children, insisting on walking to the market.
As mentioned before, the house of Shen and Xie's family was built by a feudal prince from the previous dynasty. Naturally, it couldn't be in the downtown area of the city. It would be more remote and more remote.
Walking from home to the market would tire the legs of adults, let alone the short legs of two six-year-old children.
But this is what Father Shen planned.
The adults left, and Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen trotted after them. They thought they were just making up for their morning exercises.
This is really nothing to Xie Yuan. She has always had good physical strength, and now that she has the opportunity to go out to the market, she can be as excited as she wants, and she can urge adults to leave quickly when she runs.
Shen Liuzhen is different. He is naturally lazy by nature. If he has to save his energy, it will only increase his rebellious mentality, and he will deliberately drag himself behind.
It was impossible for the adults to really leave him alone, and they kept telling him to hurry up along the way, but they remained unmoved.
His shoulders were slumped behind him, as if he hadn't eaten.
"Shen Liuzhen! You fucking whine at me again! I'm really going to beat you! You don't feel ashamed on the street, I feel ashamed too!" Father Shen was on the verge of furious. If he hadn't been beaten If someone stopped me, I guess the soles of my shoes would have passed by long ago.
"You go ahead and beat me up. Hurry up and hire a carriage. We'll get there early and go back early." Shen Liuzhen said angrily.
"What a beautiful idea you have! I know you can't hold it in! Even if it gets dark today, you have to walk there for me!"
"Then let's go..." Shen Liuzhen said nonchalantly, because he knew that his father and Xie Yuan were quick-tempered, so it was strange that they could tolerate it so slowly.
Sooner or later, he will be allowed to ride in a carriage according to his wish.
Xie Yuan ran up to him, grabbed his hand and ran forward: "Hurry up!"
But after running two steps, Xie Yuan quickly let go of his hand as if he had been bitten.
Because she thought of a possibility: Shen Liuzhen would fall to the ground, scratch his skin, and then go home and complain to her father...
Even if she didn't complain, she dragged the person down, which seemed too domineering. People were coming and going on the street, and he deliberately howled twice...
She's not that shameless.
Xie Yuan looked at him warily, and Shen Liuzhen also looked at her.
Both of them could see what was in the other's eyes.
Shen Liuzhen suddenly smiled, revealing two deep dimples, looking harmless.
He put one hand behind his back, waved the fingers of the other hand like an adult, and said, "What is this called? A child can be taught?"
Xie Yuan really couldn't stand his proud look. He gritted his teeth and squinted his eyes, pressed the small sword on his waist and said:
"Do you believe it or not, I will beat you sooner or later?"
Shen Liuzhen said lazily: "Don't you dare, your parents will be angry and beat you later."
Then he started walking according to his established turtle speed.
then……
On the carriage, Father Shen had a dark face, looking into the void ahead and saying nothing.
Xie Yuan bit his lip and looked at Shen Liuzhen bitterly.
Shen Liuzhen, on the other hand, was leaning comfortably on the wall of the carriage, stretching out his legs. Suddenly he seemed to be energetic and interested. From time to time, he opened the curtains of the carriage and looked outside. He looked exactly like the dead-living look he had just now. They are completely different.
"That's right, only a fool can walk if he can ride in a carriage." Shen Liuzhen said proudly.
His father, Colonel Shen, snorted coldly: "There will always be times when you can't ride in a car. Whenever enemy soldiers invade the territory, just drag them behind and let others hack you to death!"
"Hey, who said that, I will run away when the time comes." Shen Liuzhen said and made a provocative face.
Father Shen angrily raised his palm and was about to call him out. Seeing Xie Yuan looking at him, he tried his best to hold back and said to Xie Yuan:
"Yuan'er, look at how he looks like he deserves a beating!" Father Shen gritted his teeth, "Can you blame me for beating him? Isn't your father angry when he sees his virtue?"
Xie Yuan said depressedly: "He can pretend to be good in front of my father. He never does this."
"Oh~ I'm even more angry when I see people ordering dishes..." Father Shen cursed and turned to complain to Xie Yuan, "Do you think your master and I are such a person? Who do you think he learned from? Such virtue!"
"No, Master is the best. I like people like Master. I don't like Shen Liuzhen." Xie Yuan said with a sweet smile.
Shen Liuzhen rolled his eyes: "Who cares about you?"
…
…
There were many horses in the horse market, but it was not easy to find good ones. Father Shen took them outside the fence to look at them, shaking his head repeatedly.
He said to Xie Yuan: "Just make do with riding for now. When you learn how to ride, I will pick out two good horses for you from the military camp."
"Okay..." Xie Yuan's eyes were shining brightly, and he agreed while constantly searching among the ponies.
Suddenly he pointed at a black pony and said, "Master, I want that one, the one with the white spots on its head."
When Shen Liuzhen heard this, he quickly followed the direction she pointed.
Although he doesn't like practicing martial arts, it doesn't stop him from liking horses. He also wants to own a good horse.
Then you won't have to walk anywhere you go.
Father Shen asked the horse dealer to bring out the pony, looked at the teeth, then the whole body, and said:
"Aside from being a little thin, there are no other major problems. I think it will be of high quality if I keep it up."
When the horse dealer heard this, he said: "Hey, this gentleman is from the military camp. His vision is too high. He is a horse for children to ride. This horse is top quality!"
Father Shen smiled and said to Xie Yuan, "My son has good taste. This horse belongs to you."
"Thank you, Master!" Xie Yuan reached out and touched the white patch of the four-pointed star on the pony's forehead, "This horse is so good-looking."
"Yes, it is right to choose a good-looking horse. At least it means that it is well-proportioned, has a good physique and is healthy."
He glanced at Shen Liuzhen with a rather disgusted look, as if he was that ugly and unhealthy horse.
"Hurry up and pick. Once you've picked, let's go back as soon as possible, because you've wasted enough time!" He said impatiently.
Shen Liuzhen felt sour in his heart: When choosing for Xie Yuan, neither this nor that was good. When it was his turn to choose, it was just casual?
He didn't speak, his cheeks puffed out, his eyes filled with tears, and he wandered around the racecourse, but he couldn't see anything.
He glanced sideways and saw Xie Yuanzheng happily touching the pony's nose, then pointed at the horse and said:
"I want this!"
Father Shen's anger meter was almost full. He stared and said, "Why the hell are you so annoying! You pick your own! Why are you robbing someone else's!"
