108: Da Bao likes arithmetic

"Can you teach me?" Unconsciously, Huo Jun used a respectful tone, asking with great anticipation.

Although Huo Jun could not see and could not fly, he had some difficulties in daily life and needed He Xian to take care of him constantly.

But because of this, his inner world was very rich.

He liked to imagine and liked to learn.

What he liked most was chatting with the Witch Doctors, priests, and wise men in the tribe.

And among these people, he liked chatting with the wise men the most. This made his dull life become interesting.

"Of course," Nan Zhisui said.

Seeing that they could really chat, Han Feng and He Xian left them on this branch.

Chi Xiao had not returned yet, and there were matters in the tribe to deal with, so Han Feng left first, leaving only He Xian on a nearby branch, resting his head on his hand, watching the big one and the little one chatting.

Originally, he was just watching casually, but as he watched, he felt that both the big one and the little one looked quite good.

As he continued to watch, he even felt that if the slightly reddish-skinned Huo Jun had fair skin, he might look as good as this Female named Nan Zhisui.

Thinking of this, He Xian suddenly raised his head.

How strange, he actually felt that their Young Master and this newly arrived Fire Chi Eagle Female looked a bit alike?!

"This thing is called a pulley." Nan Zhisui patiently handed a wooden pulley to Huo Jun, and Huo Jun reached out to touch it.

While guiding Little Cub to touch the pulley, Nan Zhisui patiently explained the knowledge of fixed pulleys and movable pulleys to him.

"Will it be too hard?" Nan Zhisui asked.

After all, this was junior high school knowledge. In this era where even numbers could not be calculated clearly, was teaching junior high physics a bit too much?

Huo Jun nodded, curling his lips into a smile: "It is a bit hard. But it is very interesting."

"Do you know arithmetic?" Nan Zhisui asked.

"A little bit." Huo Jun answered very modestly; in reality, his arithmetic ability was something even the wise men would regard highly.

"Do you like arithmetic?"

Huo Jun nodded and smiled: "I do."

"To what extent can you do it?"

Huo Jun replied: "I can calculate addition and subtraction within twenty."

After finishing, Huo Jun added: "I do it by mental calculation."

The wise men of this world calculated mathematics using knot-tying methods or the 'zheng' character method, but they all needed to rely on some tools to complete it.

And because Huo Jun could not see, he had always been using mental calculation to practice arithmetic.

In the Beast World, this was already a very powerful ability for a wise man.

After thinking for a moment, Nan Zhisui said: "Let me test you with a problem that is a bit difficult but very interesting."

Huo Jun's expression brightened, and he said with great interest: "Okay."

"It is a bit difficult, so listen carefully."

"Mm." The corners of Huo Jun's lips curled up.

Nan Zhisui said slowly: "After two fish swam from the big pond to the small pond, the small pond had 4 fewer fish than the big pond. May I ask how many more fish the big pond originally had compared to the small pond?"

Huo Jun: "..."

This was truly the first time he had heard such a problem.

Huo Jun bowed his head slightly, his little brain working hard to calculate and think.

"The problem is a bit hard, don't rush." Nan Zhisui wondered if the problem she gave to Little Cub was too difficult.

"It is really hard." Huo Jun raised his little face and said.

Nan Zhisui really wanted to pat his head, but fearing it would be abrupt to Little fellow, she restrained herself and smiled: "Mm. It is indeed hard."

Huo Jun lifted his smiling face and said: "Is it eight?"

"Correct!" Nan Zhisui was truly surprised, "Wow, you are really smart! I am not flattering you, you are really smart!"

Little Cub smiled even more brilliantly.

On the side, He Xian watched the expressions of the big one and the little one. He couldn't help but think: They really can chat a lot.

Do they have some common topic that they can keep chatting on like this?

And Young Master Huo Jun, he seems to respect this Female very much.

Seeing these scenes made He Xian even more curious and eager.

When Han Feng flew back, he saw the Female and Huo Jun chatting very well, and Han Feng was momentarily surprised.

You must know, in the entire Bird Beastman Tribe, many Females, in order to get close to him or the leader, deliberately approached Huo Jun first. But this kid Huo Jun was stubborn and unresponsive, ignoring every one of them.

He had always disliked these adult Females.

This was the first adult Female that Huo Jun had accepted.

"Nan Zhisui." Han Feng flew to their side.

Huo Jun's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was not welcoming his uncle's arrival.

Han Feng: "..."

As the favorite uncle who had always been liked by Huo Jun, he actually had a day where he was overshadowed.

Han Feng said to Nan Zhisui: "You should find a tree hole to settle in first. There are many tree holes nearby; would you like to pick one first?"

Nan Zhisui, who could not fly: "..."

She couldn't fly, so how was she supposed to get in and out if she lived in a tree hole?

Nan Zhisui tentatively said: "Can I live with Huo Jun?"

Live with Huo Jun? Given Huo Jun's level of disgust for the species of adult Females, he would definitely refuse.

Huo Jun smiled: "Okay."

Han Feng was shocked!

Han Feng still shook his head, "Nan Zhisui, Huo Jun has a Father Beast, and his Father Beast is a Male who has a female master. So it is not suitable for you to live in Huo Jun's Cave."

Huo Jun became disappointed.

Nan Zhisui: "..." She was Chi Xiao's female master. But...

Not to mention that when they mated, that terrifying Giant Roc threatened to kill her. If she really made her relationship with Chi Xiao public, she was afraid her life would be threatened.

Besides, in another 20-something days, she might return to Earth.

Hu Bai, Hu Qi, Lan Xing, Fu Fu, Xuan Jin, She Yang, Huo Jun... and Little Sixth.

She was becoming more and more reluctant to leave.

Since they didn't recognize her, why should she acknowledge them, and why add unnecessary emotional trouble when it was time to part?

It would be better to just be a passerby, getting along with Little Cub like a friend; at least when the time came to part in the future, her Little Cub wouldn't need to be sorrowful.

Nan Zhisui was lost in thought, "Then I will just live in the Cave closest to Huo Jun."

Han Feng, "There is indeed one."

...

Nan Zhisui's tree hole was indeed not far from Huo Jun, just on the next tree.

He Xian carried Huo Jun, and Han Feng carried Nan Zhisui, arriving at Nan Zhisui's temporary new home.

"Huo Jun, I am your neighbor now!" Nan Zhisui said excitedly.

Huo Jun was also visibly happy, "Mm, I live on that tree next door. Sister Nan, if you want to find me, you can call me anytime. My hearing is good; I can hear you."

"Okay. You can also come find me to play anytime."

Han Feng joked: "You two have actually become friends."

Nan Zhisui patted Huo Jun's shoulder and smiled: "Little Huo Jun is smart and handsome, who wouldn't like him?"

Hearing the praise, the young boy's thin lips couldn't help but curl up.

Han Feng smiled: "Okay, then I won't disturb you, I will go first."

Han Feng left, but Huo Jun and He Xian were still there.

Nan Zhisui said to He Xian: "He Xian, I need some help. Can you do me a favor?"

After glancing at Huo Jun, He Xian happily replied: "Yes!"

Nan Zhisui smiled and said: "I need some sturdy vines, and some small branches this long and this thick."
