Chapter 595: Rumors (3)_1
Certainly, Yang Ruxin didn’t overlook the psychological counseling of the little ones, which was telling them stories after dinner every day. With so many novels and TV shows she had seen in her previous life, picking any one of them was enough to keep people engaged.
She told them about "Water Margin", which is about the peasant uprisings at the end of the Northern Song period. Figures like Song Jiang were real people. While in the previous life, she first listened to Dan Tianfang’s storytelling, then read comic books, and as she grew up, she read the original work. One could say that the book has a wide audience; both adults and children could name a few characters.
To be honest, she couldn’t remember all of the many characters in "Water Margin", like the thirty-six heavenly spirits and seventy-two earthly fiends. However, she always remembered the main ones, such as Song Jiang, Cu Zhishen, Wa Song, Ju Junyi, Li Kui...
Entertainment was truly scarce in ancient times, and reading a book at that time was a luxury, let alone a storybook. Therefore, Yang Ruxin’s stories instantly captivated the little ones. She even deliberately adapted them to be educational and fun, teaching them what was right and wrong, what life was for, and how to live it.
It was quite effective, Erya’s big eyes grew brighter and she even pulled her aside to say, "Big sister, I know it’s not your fault about big sister’s incident, she was the bad one, I won’t be sad, I’ll live well and be filial to you in the future..."
Yang Ruxin felt that she had achieved her purpose.
However, she gradually found that not only did the little ones want to hear her stories but after dinner, everyone began gathering around of their own accord, even old man Dao Xuzi didn’t go out for his walks anymore.
"What are you doing?" Yang Ruxin frowned.
"Don’t beat around the bush, didn’t you say yesterday that Cu Zhishen killed the Butcher Zheng, then what?" Dao Xuzi waved his hand, "Where did he go after that? Did he just join Liangshan?"
