Chapter 108 Do you even know how to raise a pet?
Li Mosi offered the dried donkey liver again, but the hungry wolf cub snatched it away in one bite.
The other wolf cubs immediately shook their heads and huddled together.
A wolf cub approached Li Mosi's hand, sniffed it but found no food, and immediately retreated.
Li Mosi reached out to touch it, but the wolf cub shrank back and dodged.
"?"
He sensed something was wrong.
Li Mosi reached out to touch the other wolf cubs, but they sniffed his hand and then moved away!
These wolf cubs only care about food!
Is that correct?
Never mind, let's feed them first.
It's not exactly a bad thing.
Li Mosi stuffed pieces of donkey liver into the wolf cub's mouth.
He stuffs them with food, and the little ones eat it all.
They didn't stop until each wolf cub had eaten five slices of dried donkey liver.
The kids could still eat, but Li Mosi wasn't sure how much they needed.
Don't overfeed them.
"My late master..."
Seeing that Li Mosi was starting to move away from the haystack, Zi'an called out to her carefully.
"So you just don't know how to raise a pet?"
Suddenly, a somewhat childish female voice broke between them.
After a moment of hesitation, the saintess finally came to her senses!
But Li Moss still doesn't intend to debate.
"You don't know how to care for a plant, do you? Hey! You let the vines grow like that, waaaaah!"
The vine was once again firmly stuffed into Hagi Saint's mouth.
Li Mosi turned to look at Zi'an.
"Zi'an, what did you just say?"
"Well……"
Interrupted, Zi'an paused to recall before continuing.
"Master, I feel like I won't be able to memorize it tonight."
Zi Yi nodded as well.
Let alone memorizing these words.
Many of them are new.
I can't even pronounce it properly!
Li Mosi nodded in understanding.
“Wuwu!”
He ignored the conversation initiated by Hagi Saint and continued speaking to Koyasu, "It's alright. I have something else to teach you."
Zi Yi watched as Li Mosi walked between him and Zi An, making room for her, and asked, "Master, what's next?"
He and Zi'an exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a mixture of tension and excitement.
There was even a sliver of anticipation.
"You are already familiar with numbers up to ten, and your addition and subtraction skills are also quite good."
Li Mosi picked up the ink stick and continued writing after the "10" on the paper.
11, 12...
He kept writing until he reached 100.
Upon hearing his assessment, Ziyi and Zian straightened their chests slightly.
In fact, Li Mosi was right.
Ziyi and Zian are just not good at calculations, so their speed is not considered fast.
But I do know how.
Therefore, he intends to go further.
After writing eleven to one hundred, he then labeled each number with pinyin.
Both disciples thought it was over and peered over.
But Li Mosi was still writing.
They were still a bit confused.
Li Mosi used a pen to draw a staircase made up of squares.
The stairs have nine steps horizontally and nine steps vertically.
Li Moss filled each cell with numbers and symbols they didn't recognize, and wrote each symbol separately on the side outside the cell, adding pinyin to each symbol.
Zi'an looked at the "x" and began to try to spell out its pronunciation.
"Eat or ride?"
Zi Yi looked down at the one below.
"equal?"
Upon hearing them read it aloud, Li Mosi wrote down the plus sign, minus sign, and division sign.
Previously, I only verbally explained how to add or remove symbols; I haven't taught them yet.
He put down the ink block and said, "Now I will teach you more numbers, from one to one hundred."
Zi'an pointed to the grid-like staircase: "Then what's this?"
The symbol indicated by "子一" is: "And this one."
"This one?"
Li Mosi originally planned to proceed step by step, but seeing how curious his two disciples were, he decided to explain everything at once.
It's just some numbers; for two disciples who are more mature than elementary school students, it shouldn't be a difficult task.
Right?
……
"So sleepy!"
Zi'an covered his bear ears with a look of grief and indignation, and looked up at the cave ceiling, howling in despair.
She really can't do multiplication and division!
Zi Yi did not speak.
He leaned down on the table, feeling a throbbing sensation in his head.
I feel so dizzy.
Li Mo pondered for a moment.
Although he broke down the numbers according to the multiplication table, Ziyi and Zian had not systematically learned these things and did not have much talent for them.
It was still too difficult for them, who had never had any impression of it before.
Ugh.
There's no tradition.
This situation is worse than Li Mosi could have imagined.
We can only take it slowly.
Although Ziyi and Zian didn't understand, the Holy Maiden, being a scholar, did!
Isn't this what the abacus teaches?
That was one of the toys she frequently came into contact with after she began receiving education from the Pope. It was divided into many neat squares, with a maximum of sixteen squares in both the horizontal and vertical directions.
Although it's just a toy, the people who come into contact with it are specific.
The three main groups of people were nobles, merchants, and priests.
Although she no longer doubted Li Mosi's upper-class aristocratic status, however...
Should we really teach knowledge to goblins and bear-beastmen?
This is practically throwing knowledge away like water!
The saintess, feeling dizzy, sensed something was wrong, but when she thought of the triangle the craftsman had drawn last time, she felt powerless.
"Ugh—"
This craftsman has absolutely no sense of being a nobleman!
He should be standing with me!
Suddenly, the sound of the saintess breathing heavily echoed in the quiet cave. The three of them, master and disciples, looked up at her together.
Li Mosi only saw the saintess doing something, and she seemed to suddenly deflate.
It doesn't matter anymore.
He looked at his two disciples: "Take a break before you study. Tonight, you can practice on your own, and I'll test you again tomorrow night."
Hearing that he could rest, Zi'an relaxed.
"Thank you, Master."
Zi Yi then thought of another question: "Master, what are we going to do tomorrow? Should we continue preparing for battle?"
That's a good question.
Li Mosi took advantage of her break time to tell him about her plans for tomorrow.
"Tomorrow, send the slaves and goblins down the mountain to build fortifications and high platforms, and also collect some pine resin."
As planned, the day passed quickly.
After a busy day, the group returned to the chieftain's cave.
"Ugh—! I'm so tired!"
Haki Saint sat down on her haystack as she passed by.
Li Mosi casually tied her up in the same spot as before.
He asked, "What are you tired about?"
She ran around all day without complaining of being tired, but she did.
Although Li Mosi knew that the enemy would not come anytime soon.
But just to be on the safe side, he still led a few goblin warriors south across the map.
He didn't expect that, just as the prisoners had told him, they were only half a day's journey away from human territory!
Li Moss even saw the boundaries of the manor on the map!
The only good news is that the south is a low-lying area, which can slow down the progress of the large convoy.
He suspected that if he went any further, he could catch up with the fleeing knight's light.
Unfortunately, they could not move forward.
Otherwise, they might not even be able to escape.
In short, he was exhausted today.
"Master! The wolf cubs are missing!"
Damn it.
Li Mosi looked up at Zi'an, only to see her lift the curtain of the grass nest, turn around, and look completely bewildered.
The saintess and Ziyi also stared wide-eyed at it.
The grass nest was empty.
There was nothing there.
Li Mo thought back to when he left home that morning, he had only put out dried donkey liver slices...
He immediately turned towards the cave entrance: "Go look for it where you can drink water!"
bang bang bang-
Zi'an rushed out before him.
When Li Mosi came out of the cave, Zi'an had already returned.
"We found them! The wolf cubs are really by the water!"
That's absolutely right!
He was thirsty!
The saintess stared blankly at Li Mosi: "Do you even know how to raise a child?"
