Lin Fan seemed to understand what she was thinking. He waved his hand gently and the wooden kite flew up. Then he said, "I'm also quite interested in it. Let's go together."
"Hmmmm."
Together? That would be great.
The girl skipped and jumped into the formation with Lin Fan, and came all the way to the outside of the office, where Lin Fan put the wooden kite down.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoran brewed two cups of hot tea and brought them over.
"Try it."
She handed a cup to Lin Fan first, and then to the lively girl: "Da Hong Pao mother tree tea, tastes good."
"Mother tree?"
The lively girl stared with excitement: "Wow! It's said online that it's very expensive, and rich people can't buy it?"
"I think so. Someone gave it to me."
Lin Fan smiled and took a sip.
The taste is still good.
He said to himself.
But it's just okay. After all, no matter how great the mother tree of Da Hong Pao is, it only has a little history, and it has never been nourished by spiritual energy. The taste is top-notch among ordinary teas, but compared with spiritual tea...
But it's not on the same level.
But recently I heard that the mother tree glows every night. Is it going to evolve into spiritual tea
Lin Fan pondered, but did not delay his work. Seeing the lively girl drink up the tea, he smiled and said, "Your wooden kite is quite interesting."
"You made it yourself?"
"Um!"
The lively girl nodded rapidly, feeling somewhat proud but also a little embarrassed: "I have been doing this for several years..."
"oh?"
Lin Fan was slightly surprised.
Several years
The Chinese spiritual energy revival has only been going on for less than two months, but it has been going on for several years? Did they start doing it before the spiritual energy revival
Seeing Lin Fan's doubts, the lively girl slowly told him her experience.
"My family has been carpenters for generations. My grandfather retired when I was a child, but my father had to work everywhere, so I followed my grandfather since I was a child."
"My toys have always been different from those of other little girls. They play with Barbie dolls, skipping rubber ropes and other games, but my toys are all kinds of woodworking toys made by my grandfather."
"Wooden swords, wooden knives, wooden animals, cars..."
"They are all very beautiful and vivid, so I have been interested in carpentry since I was a child. When I was twelve years old, my grandfather passed away, but he left me a book..."
“At that time, I tried to make some things myself, and the one I wanted to make the most was this wooden kite!”
"The book said that a wooden kite could soar into the sky and fly for a whole month without falling. It looked very realistic when it was blown, and all the details were described, so I wanted to try to see if I could make it."
"You've been doing it for so long?" Lin Fan asked.
Unexpectedly, the lively girl grinned and said, "No, I'm not that slow. In fact, it only takes me about half a year to make one, but none of them can fly..."
"Maybe there are some details that are wrong? But I didn't give up. I would continue to try in my spare time and during holidays."
"I made one after another, but none of them could fly. Until yesterday, I made another one. Who knew..."
Speaking of this, the lively girl's face was full of excitement and anticipation, and at the same time, she was full of emotion: "The moment it was assembled, this thing glowed."
“I knew then that it would work!”
"Until early this morning, it stopped glowing. I tried it and found that it can really fly and can carry people!"
"Then I flew and flew, and flew here..."
At this moment, the girl was a little embarrassed: "Maybe it's because Principal Lin, you are my idol? And I also want to come down and take a look..."
After hearing what the girl said, Lin Fan blinked, feeling a little surprised, but also having some guesses in his mind.
"I see···"
He nodded slightly, and then asked, "The book your grandfather left behind is called..."
"Lu Ban's Book, Volume 1."
The girl did not hide it: "But I searched it on the Internet, and it is different from the Lu Ban books on the market..."
"So, your last name is Gongshu?"
Lin Fan became even more certain.
This thing is clearly a mechanical device! In the ancient Chinese legends, only two families were particularly powerful in this type of mechanical device.
One is Mohism, and the other is... Gongshu Ban!
Lu Ban, originally named Gongshu Ban, inherited the Lu Ban book in his family... Could this be the descendant of Gongshu Ban? !
"No."
However, the girl blinked and said, "My last name is Zhou."
“···”
"week?"
Lin Fan was stunned.
Zhou Xiaoran said: "Lu Ban's surname is Ji, his clan name is Gongshu, and his name is Ban. He was relocated as a family member of the early Zhou Nan King Ji Yan, and his descendants began to have the surname Zhou..."
"In history, the descendants of Confucius are still in Shandong, and their family tree has been passed down. But the descendants of Lu Ban have never been found."
"So, in fact, it is possible that the descendants of Lu Ban changed their surname to Zhou."
"is that so?"
The lively girl was a little confused: "Beautiful sister, how do you know so much? I don't even know it."
"Because my last name is Zhou too."
Zhou Xiaoran chuckled and nodded.
Lin Fan was a little surprised when he heard this. It was not that it was a surprise that Gongshu Ban's descendants changed their surnames. In fact, many descendants of ancient big surnames in Chinese history changed their surnames, and there were many branches...
As for the reasons, there are many reasons.
Some people have been bullied in the clan and want to set up their own family. There is nothing wrong with changing their surname.
Some of them could not stay there any longer and were driven out, so they had to change their surnames. Others, such as when a dynasty collapsed or a family was in crisis, would also change their surnames to avoid disaster.
What surprised him was that there was another person with the surname Zhou!
Among the girls and young ladies I have come into contact with, first was Zhou Na, then Zhou Xiaoran, and now there is another person with the surname Zhou, who is suspected to be the descendant of Gongshu Ban...
Oh, and we have to add Zhou Qi.
Quite a lot~!
"Beautiful sister, your last name is also Zhou?"
The lively girl was surprised and said, "Then we are still a family!"
"What's wrong with the last name Zhou?"
At this time, Zhou Na happened to pass by. Hearing the exclamation, she walked over staggeringly, well... she was really staggeringly.
Every step is a sway!
This scale is really amazing.
Seeing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but mutter, "No wonder our Saint said that my mother's first reaction after seeing Zhou Na was - good at feeding the baby."
"By the way, our Saint's rank is not small either."
Recalling the heavy feeling when I first tested it...
cough!
What would the landlady Na's astonishing scale be like... um...
Pooh!
Don't let your imagination run wild.
"Ah? Nothing."
The lively girl obviously didn't know Zhou Na, and she said, "I just didn't expect it. People with the last name Zhou are not common."
“Not uncommon.”
Zhou Na smiled and said, "Aren't there two of them?"
"No, three."
Lin Fan spread his hands and pointed at the three people respectively: "You three are all surnamed Zhou."
"oh?!"
Zhou Na was also a little surprised: "What's your name, little sister?"
"My name is Zhou Xianyan."
The lively girl even introduced herself.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoran smiled and said, "I am Zhou Xiaoran, and this older sister is Zhou Na."
Lin Fan: “(ˉ-￣～)”
Ahem, so why do you drag out the syllables so long
"Sister Xiaoran, Sister Na."
Zhou Xianyan's eyes rolled around and she called "sister" sweetly.
"Okay, let's end the self-introduction for now."
Lin Fan waved his hand gently: "I can tell from your weird expression that you are thinking about something. Tell me, what are you thinking about?"
"No way..."
Zhou Xianyan blushed slightly, then said: "I just hit it off with the two sisters right away, and we are all from the same family, so I am very happy."
"oh?"
Lin Fan grinned: "In that case, I will leave first?"
"Oh, don't."
Zhou Xianyan became anxious when she saw this: "Okay, I do have some ideas..."
"That is, can I...stay in the school? Auditing is fine, but if that's not possible, I can just stay outside the classroom."
"Outside the classroom?"
"That won't work."
Lin Fan shook his head: "It will affect other people's classes."
"oh···"
Zhou Xianyan pouted her lips and tears started to fall...
“This girl.”
Zhou Xiaoran smiled: "A clever one."
"What the teacher meant was that you can't affect others outside the classroom, but he didn't say that he won't accept you as a student."
"Ah? Yours truly?"
The girl's tears disappeared instantly, and her face was filled with excitement.
Zhou Na spread her hands gently: "If I had been as smart as her when I was her age, I wouldn't have been beaten so often."
"No way..."
Zhou Xianyan blushed slightly.
"Ha ha."
Lin Fan smiled and shook his head: "Okay, Xiaoran, you make some arrangements for her. Remember to notify her family and make an exception for her admission..."
"Yes, sir!"
Zhou Xiaoran took his people away.
Big...Pah, Zhou Na moved closer to Lin Fan, poked Lin Fan's chest with her elbow, and whispered: "This girl, is she very talented?"
"My talent is above average, not exceptional, but pretty good."
"That???"
Lin Fan remained silent for the moment.
Instead, he looked at his elbow and Zhou Na's chest.
He is thinking.
If I were to poke her like Zhou Na poke me just now, emmmm...how would it feel
"I'm asking you a question?!"
"Ah? Oh!"
Lin Fan came back to his senses: "Her talent is indeed not particularly good, but it is also pretty good. Moreover, she is a special student!"
"Special student? The wooden kite?"
"Yes, you came a little late, so you don't know something. This girl made a flying wooden kite out of 100% pure wood!"
"Wow?! This is really a talented student. I said that wooden kite was very vivid. It turns out that it can fly?"
"She can fly, and this girl is most likely a descendant of Gongshu Ban."
"Are you a descendant of Lu Ban?"
Zhou Na was even more surprised, and at the same time, she showed curiosity: "So the legend is true, Lu Ban can really make a wooden bird that can travel a thousand miles a day and fly for ten days or half a month without landing?"
"The legend is false."
Lin Fan chuckled.
"Then you still accept it?"
"What I mean is... the legend says that Lu Ban has been 'weakened'."
"That wooden kite can only fly for more than ten days or half a month."
"Ah?!" Zhou Na opened her red lips.
