Chapter 149: Difficult to Retain
The old man took the drawing with great interest, was stunned for a moment, and then looked at it carefully.
Not only are the ink-dyed drawings meticulously drawn, but the underlying principles of the mechanism are easily understood by an expert like the old man.
Qingsheng saw this from the side and was extremely excited. He didn't expect Ran Mo to have such a skill.
The old man's expression changed from surprise to joy, and he remained silent for a while. Then he looked at Ran Mo, then turned to the teacher and whispered a few words in his ear.
The instructor's expression changed immediately, and he raised his voice and said, "That won't do. I'm already staying with you temporarily, so how can I expect to keep this young man here too?"
"Huh?" Several people were stunned upon hearing this. Qingsheng immediately stood close to Ranmo to protect her, fearing that someone would kidnap her.
The old man smiled slightly awkwardly, then bowed to Ran Mo and said, "Young craftsman, your skills are truly superb. I admire you. I have many fellow enthusiasts here. I wonder if you would be interested in staying here so we can learn from each other."
Ran Mo was a little flattered. Although she showed off a little, she also knew her own limitations. Even if she had learned a little, she was not cut out for invention. She bowed and said:
"Thank you for your kindness, Chief. My abilities are limited to this blueprint. I don't have any other better ideas. I'll come back to ask for your guidance when I have the chance."
The old man looked disappointed after hearing this, while Qingsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
The old man asked again: "Young master, what do you like to do on weekdays?" "Oh, I still study in school on weekdays, and occasionally go to the street to do legal interpretation." Ran Mo answered truthfully.
"You even understand law?" the old man rubbed his hands in surprise. "What a coincidence! We have a course here specifically focused on debate and litigation. I'm not boasting, but our school's achievements in this area have never been matched. You'll surely be able to utilize your strengths and improve even further with your presence."
Ran Mo knew what he said was true. Studying here would be just as good as going to university. However, there were too many people and things over there that he couldn't let go of, so he had no choice but to give up this good opportunity.
She bowed deeply again, apologizing and thanking the old man, saying she had an elderly mother at home who needed her company and care, and she couldn't get away. She glanced at Qingsheng next to her. Qingsheng understood and was flattered.
The old man nodded and said that respecting one's parents was the right thing to do. He stopped insisting and turned to the teacher and said:
"These good friends and disciples of yours are truly outstanding. When you return from your travels, you must bring them with you to meet and talk with us."
The instructor agreed. Ran Mo Qing Sheng and the others had indeed given him a lot of face.
The old man looked around, beckoned to Azan, called him to his side, and said to him in a kind and solemn tone: "Zan'er, have you remembered what I told you?"
"Teacher, I will keep your words in mind and strive to learn and improve myself!" Azan said as he bowed deeply to the old man. The old man nodded with satisfaction.
Qingsheng and the others were a bit shocked. Achan was quite capable, having become a great leader's advisor in such a short time. They didn't know what they were talking about specifically.
The old man spoke a few more words to the teacher. Then, facing everyone, the teacher said emotionally:
"When there's a reunion, there's a separation. It's hard to meet, but it's also hard to part. At this moment, I really want to keep you all here, but in order not to delay your work, I'll say goodbye today. The leader will send someone to escort you out of the villa in a while."
Several people suddenly felt a little distressed and were reluctant to leave their teacher. They also developed feelings for every tree and blade of grass here.
At this moment, the girl in colorful clothes came from behind. She would escort the young men out. They said their last goodbyes to the instructor and leader. Even after they had walked a long way, they still turned back to wave.
Under the girl's guidance, several people used various methods such as vine ladders and cables to get out of the valley in a very short time, which saved them a lot of time compared to walking along the normal path.
When they reached the bushes by the roadside, Miss Nishang bowed and said goodbye to them. Ran Mo looked at her bright and pretty face and suddenly wanted to say something, but stopped himself.
After thanking them, they entered the bushes and headed towards the main road. Despite their reluctance to leave, they were still young, and it felt like they were back in their own world, running and jumping happily while teasing each other.
Qingsheng admired Ranmo's actions and was even more relieved that she had chosen to stay in Xiaoyue City with them. It seemed she still had me in her heart. How could she still have me? Besides her mother, they were the closest people.
Soon they reached the main road. There were few cars on the road at the moment. Looking toward the flat ground, they saw their two carriages parked safely. The two drivers and Ayi were resting and strolling in front of the carriages.
A few people felt relieved and walked over quickly. When they saw them coming back, they hurriedly greeted them. A few people responded enthusiastically.
Ranmo thought Weihua was resting in the carriage. He peeked inside but couldn't find her. Feeling a little nervous, he hurriedly asked Ayi, "Where's Weihua?"
Aili pointed to the bushes not far behind and said she had gone to poop over there. Ranmo felt relieved.
Ayili added, "She went with that man."
What? Several people were shocked when they heard this. With only a few men present, which man could she go with?
Ayili noticed their nervousness and said quickly, "It's that old bachelor. He caught up with us and wanted to talk to Weihua."
He then pointed to another flat area in the distance that was convenient for parking. Then they noticed that there was a rather small carriage parked there.
Ranmo asked, how long have they been gone? What do they want to talk about?
Ayili said the carriage had only just arrived. It had arrived just as Weihua was about to go to the toilet. Weihua hadn't gone to the toilet yet, and had chatted with the old bachelor for a while. Then she said hello and said she was going over there to talk to the old bachelor. Maybe she'd go to the toilet too.
Several people couldn't help laughing. Qingsheng laughed in his heart, "My silly girl, can you please stop talking about poop? It's not a very elegant thing." Suddenly, he remembered his encounter with Ranmo, and he burst out laughing, and felt a little relieved.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Wei Hua and a tall man came over from that side.
Several people stared with wide eyes, wanting to see what the legendary old bachelor looked like.
Wei Hua spotted Qing Sheng immediately, waved at them, and ran over. Ran Mo dodged in front of Qing Sheng, catching Wei Hua, who nearly fell, with both hands, and asked her with concern if she had finished pooping, ah, if she was done talking.
Wei Hua nodded slightly awkwardly, glanced at Qing Sheng, and then looked back.
The man had already approached. He looked to be in his early thirties, handsome and elegant. If it weren't for his simple attire, he could have looked like a young man. It was a bit of an insult to be called an old bachelor at his age.
The man looked a little nervous and awkward when he saw so many of them. Ranmo said to Weihua, "Why don't you introduce him to us? After all, he's been a great help to you."
Wei Hua heaved a sigh of relief and said to everyone, "This is Mr. Li I mentioned to you, the rapeseed oil seller, also known as the Oil Seller.
He came to see me today because he heard I had left, so he hired a carriage to follow me and wanted to see me again. It just so happened that you were out on business, and while you were there, he actually caught up with me."
Wei Hua said this with her head half lowered. When she said that Li Sheng had come all the way to pursue her, her face seemed to show a little pride, but she was concerned about Qing Sheng being beside her and didn't want to say anything too harsh and cause him to misunderstand.
Several people bowed to Mr. Li to express their gratitude. Seeing this, Mr. Li quickly returned the favor, saying that he had only helped a small favor and it was nothing to worry about. Seeing their kind attitude, he relaxed a lot.
