Chapter 78

In the evening of the same day, Lin Qi and Lin Xiaodong got into Ye Shiyuan's car together.

Because of the presence of the guests, his uncle and aunt could not be too harsh on Lin Xiaodong. The aunt pretended to pull out a backpack that Lynch carried when he went to elementary school for an outing, and stuffed it into it symbolically. Got some clothes and snacks and fruit.

The woman also pretended to wipe her tears and told him to take good care of himself and his younger brother when he was there.

She said that it doesn't matter whether she can be selected or not, the key is to take good care of her body and look reluctant to leave her for a thousand miles, but Yu Guang has been paying attention to Ye Shiyuan's position at the door.

"Auntie, don't worry about this," Lin Xiaodong said with a smile, ignoring Lynch's suddenly widened eyes, and rubbing his head into a ball of straw, "I will definitely take good care of Lynch."

"You-" Lynch was about to jump when he noticed his father's eyes and held back.

Looking at this little devil's vicious eyes like a poisonous snake, Lin Xiaodong yawned, turned around and opened the car door on his own, climbed into the back seat and fell asleep.

Ye Shiyuan looked at this scene and shook his head helplessly.

This kid really has a big heart.

Of course, Lynch also wanted to sit in the back seat. The back seat is so spacious, and I don't know how long it will take to drive on the road. However, before he came out, his parents urged him to have a good relationship with Ye Shiyuan. This person was the number one person under Lin Pei's hands-somehow, he was sent out to be their driver. However, the opportunity is rare and must not be missed.

Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and sit in the co-pilot, with nothing to talk to along the way, and wanted to imitate the adult to please the other party.

But no matter how scheming Lynch is, he is still a fourteen-year-old child after all. What can he have in common with Ye Shiyuan, an adult in his thirties?

The man saw through Lynch's thoughts at a glance, and he didn't break it, just chatting one after another, and occasionally observing Lin Xiaodong, who was sleeping in the dark in the back seat, from the rearview mirror.

He wanted to chat with the child, but unfortunately, it seemed that the other party did not have the same idea.

Although the content of this selection was decided by Lin Pei, the suggestion was actually put forward by Ye Shiyuan. Since the attack, he has seen the changes in the head of the family. As a subordinate, it is impossible to say that he is not in a hurry, but on the other hand, the status of a subordinate also makes it impossible for him to enter Lin Pei's private domain. .

At first, he wanted to find a confidant mistress for Lin Pei, but none of the women he found could last for a month. In desperation, I can only settle for the next best thing, hoping to impress men with family affection - out of the sixteen children on the side, there will always be one that he can take a fancy to, right?

After driving for three hours, Lynch couldn't hold it any longer, and fell asleep by the window.

Ye Shiyuan was a little tired, so he parked his car beside the gas station and took out a cigarette from his pocket to get refreshed.

A voice came from behind: "What kind of person is Lin Pei?"

The man froze for a moment.

He turned around, looked at Lin Xiaodong who was leaning against the door, and laughed while holding a cigarette.

"I sent sixteen children, and I answered the same question sixteen times," he said, "but for you, you only need to know one thing: in the castle, you must be careful with your words and deeds, don't say Do what shouldn't be said, and do what shouldn't be said."

Lin Xiaodong stretched and said perfunctorily, "I see. How long will we have to walk to get there?"

"Come on," Ye Shiyuan looked at the high-speed under the night in the distance, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring, "I'll be there when I go around the village in front."

The Lin family's castle was built beside a small lake, which was dug by hand-yes, the Lin family was so rich. It is said that the original designer was a missionary who came to preach during the Republic of China, so the style and standard are completely Westernized.

However, listening to Ye Shiyuan's introduction, what appeared in Lin Xiaodong's mind was the image of Hogwarts.

"I heard that Lin Pei also hired dozens of teachers for different subjects for us," he rubbed his chin and thought, "Will he teach us how to make compound decoction with slugs?"

System: "...Wake up, you are in modern society."

But Lin Xiaodong would rather believe that he is a Muggle and refuse to accept that magic does not exist in this world, so the communication between one person and one person failed. When they arrived at the destination and saw the real Lin Family Castle, Lin Xiaodong's fantasy was completely shattered.

It's nothing like Hogwarts here.

In addition to the vast lawns, forests and lakes, the entire castle looks more like a huge country house, with a total of five floors, white walls and blue triangular spires under the bright castle lights. A fantasy world of fairy tales.

Lin Xiaodong could even hear a little girl screaming in surprise in the darkness not far away.

As if to welcome their arrival, the whole castle was lit up, and there were no plants planted in the garden, but as far as the eye could see, tiny light bulbs like the Milky Way were dotted on the lawn, spreading out a hazy sea of ​​light. There was a cool evening breeze from the valley that surrounded the castle, and the trees swayed and rustled.

Even Lynch, who had been pretending to be calm and wanted to make a good impression on others, was stunned, especially when he entered the hall and saw the walls full of valuable oil paintings, antiques left over from the last century, furs, books, wolf heads. With the precious medieval weapons and armor, he was so excited that his cheeks were flushed, and he kept looking left and right behind Ye Shiyuan.

In addition, the glass cabinets on both sides are also filled with exquisite classical dolls, cool Lego battleships, miniature castle toys that are almost identical to the real thing, huge plush dolls, a full set of armor and anime figures... Almost all the things that children like in this world have been collected.

Even Lin Xiaodong, an adult, was a little bit eager to see it, not to mention those children who were generally only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Lin Xiaodong glanced at it. Besides him and Lynch, there were fourteen children in the hall. It seemed that everyone had arrived.

"Quiet, children."

Ye Shiyuan walked up to them and clapped his hands.

The chattering noise in the hall gradually ceased, and sixteen children from different cities across the country left their parents' families and stood on this unfamiliar land, looking at the man anxiously, waiting for their next arrangement.

"I believe you have seen it just now," Ye Shiyuan asked with a smile, "Do you want these things behind me?"

"think--"

The children shouted in unison. Standing among them, Lin Xiaodong, who was a head taller than most, smiled wryly and rubbed his ears. For a moment, he had the illusion that he had entered the kindergarten by mistake.

But after reading the information, he didn't dare to treat these children as harmless little carrot heads.

The Lin family advocates elite education, and Lin Pei himself has brought the law of the jungle and the concept of survival of the fittest to the extreme.

After reading the entire document, I didn't believe that Lin Xiaodong was killed. As the head of the Lin family, Lin Pei, who was the master of the Lin family with all his hands and eyes, and the master of this castle, which was densely monitored by all kinds of surveillance, would have no idea about the various gangs in the selection of the successor. Faction, framed design.

This fairytale-like castle is not a Disney prince and princess to be cultivated.

It is the real wolf king who can lead the family to glory.

Sure enough, the next moment, Ye Shiyuan confessed to them the purpose of preparing these toys.

He swept over the sixteen candidates with a calm scrutiny, and said indifferently: "If you want it, please exchange it for something. There is no need for money here, the only thing that can be exchanged is This stamp."

The man held up a small purple seal in his hand, and a piece of white paper with a big word "Award" printed on it.

"We will give each of you an award book, which is specially used to collect various stamps. In each class, the teacher will select three children who he thinks are the best performers and put a stamp on their award book. , every Friday afternoon every week, we will vote in the auditorium to choose three people who you think deserve the most awards, and each will be awarded three stamps - and as long as ten stamps are collected, you can open the back of me These cabinets, take out any thing from them."

Hearing these words, the expressions of the children were a little excited.

Even according to the minimum standard of four classes a day, the teachers would give out at least twelve stamps every day, not to mention additional weekly rewards. Do the math, as long as you behave positively, it seems that in a week or two, you can get your favorite toy?

But Lin Xiaodong and some of the more active children did not show any strange expressions on their faces, because they knew that the test Ye Shiyuan gave them would never be so simple.

"Mr. Ye, you just said various seals, that means there are other kinds of seals, right?" A boy standing at the front with his sister's head raised his hand and asked.

"That's right." Ye Shiyuan nodded approvingly, "In addition to rewards, we also have this kind of stamp of punishment," he said, holding up another black stamp with the word "penalty" printed in a circle. , "Those who violate the rules of the castle will be penalized. Once they reach three, they will be punished by Xiaohei/house confinement; if they reach five, they will be kicked out and their parents will be informed."

The children breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

But Lin Xiaodong's eyes lit up - this is a great thing for him!

System: "Your mission, forget it?"

"Anyway, there are five. When I'm full, I'll probably finish the task." Lin Xiaodong said indifferently.

Apparently, the other kids felt the same way.

So, while fearing punishment, none of them felt like they would be the one to be kicked out of the castle.

Ye Shiyuan waved his hand, and several people in black suits came over and distributed a reward book to each of them. Lin Xiaodong opened it and found that fifty seals had already been printed inside.

"If you want toys, you can come and exchange them with me now." Ye Shiyuan smiled, "but once again a friendly reminder: we will provide all kinds of daily necessities in the castle for free, but other than that, all Everything must be exchanged with seals. Of course, you can also negotiate by yourself. The behavior of giving and bartering seals in the castle is allowed, but it must be transferred under the supervision of the teacher or me. "

Hearing this, Lin Qi immediately turned to look at Lin Xiaodong beside him, his eyes full of greed.

He could hear what Ye Shiyuan meant-it was allowed to give and exchange seals with others, but this "barter exchange" does not necessarily mean fair exchange.

At this time, there were already three children who couldn't resist the temptation/temptation, thinking that there were fifty of them anyway, and it was okay to waste ten, so he stepped forward and asked Ye Shiyuan if he could exchange the toys. And Ye Shiyuan, as he said, kept his promise very much, and let the people in black open the cabinet on the spot.

Looking at the dolls, armors, and game consoles in their hands, some people showed envy, some were unmoved, while Lynch sneered and whispered, "A bunch of idiots."

It's not too late to exchange these things after you figure out the rules of the castle.

The fifty seals were the "start-up capital" that Ye Shiyuan gave them - once it was used up, it would be a thousand times more difficult to recover it in the future.

There were also a few smart children who obviously thought of this, and the younger sister even smiled and explained to a little girl next to him: "I read it in books, it's called 'delayed gratification', source In a Western experiment on dispensing candy..."

Lin Xiaodong sighed: Sure enough, the children of the Lin family, even if they are only side branches, are all evil spirits.

Just when Ye Shiyuan thought that no one wanted to exchange, and was about to call the man in black to lock the cabinet again, the tallest boy in the crowd suddenly raised his hand.

He said, "Mr. Ye, I also want to exchange."
