After leaving the room and going down to the ground floor, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian met Aunt Nan from the "Afu Gun Store".
"You guys are quite calm." The graceful lady swept her eyes casually, and said with a smile.
"Aren't you?" Jiang Baimian responded with a smile, "What does other people's affairs have to do with us? I'm afraid they will pierce the sky of Weed City."
They had confessed to each other before, and everyone ended the topic with a tacit understanding. One was going to go upstairs, and the other was going out.
At this moment, Jiang Baimian moved in his heart and asked:
"Aunt Nan, do you know any 'temporary teachers' nearby?"
Aunt Nan looked at the two people opposite suspiciously:
"You want to invite a 'temporary teacher'?"
From the looks and clothes, they don't look illiterate.
"We mainly want to understand this line of business and see if we can take on this task. Relic Hunter, if there is a task that we can take, we definitely don't want to miss it." Jiang Baimian instinctively made up a reason.
Shang Jian Yao immediately dismantled:
"You explain too much."
Jiang Baimian gave him a sideways glance, but he wasn't too bothered, because Aunt Nan obviously didn't believe her words.
How can a relic hunter who can easily kidnap Eugene back without leaving any clues need to take over the task of "temporary teacher"? Not to be a tutor for the children of the nobles.
If you just said that, who will believe it if you know the inside story
Aunt Nan knowingly didn't ask what it was for, and said with a smile:
"We have one in this building."
"Where does he live?" Jiang Baimian asked.
Aunt Nan lifted the hair that fell from her temples:
"She, a lady."
For the word "she", Aunt Nan used the Honghe language, otherwise it would be impossible to distinguish.
Aunt Nan went on to say:
"She doesn't live here, she comes here every afternoon at two o'clock for an hour-and-a-half class.
"Hehe, more than a dozen girls in this yard joined together to invite them.
"The few you met last night have participated. They have some dividends in the 'Afford Gun Shop' and are relatively well-off. If you want to see it later, I will let them lead the way."
Jiang Baimian knew that the "girl" in Aunt Nan's mouth was referring to women who were full-time or part-time in the flesh business.
"Okay, let's go out for lunch first, and come to our room at two o'clock." Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao's hand touching his stomach, and said gratefully, "Thank you."
She seemed to have completely forgotten that she just avenged Aunt Nan and the others last night, as if this was something that was not worth mentioning for a long, long time.
At 1:50 in the afternoon, there was a knock on the door of Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian.
And they had already sensed someone coming and waited at the door.
"I just wanted to go out and have a look." Jiang Baimian explained to the lady outside with a smile.
This lady was one of the people who killed Eugene last night. She had big eyes and short hair just past her ears. She looked intellectual and young, making it difficult to accurately judge her age.
"There are still ten minutes." The lady said after a small greeting, "Gu Changle, you met last night."
"I won't introduce myself, or it would be meaningless to give a fake name. You can call me Dabai." Jiang Baimian mocked himself, "Well, he doesn't have a name, just use 'hello'."
She is taking revenge on Shang Jianyao's demolition before.
Gu Changle didn't answer the words, turned around and said:
"On the top floor, where the sun is better."
There is no electricity from 1:30pm to 5:30pm.
Looking at the floral scarf on Gu Changle's neck that seemed to be a lot more gorgeous than last night, Jiang Baimian took two quick steps and walked side by side with the other party.
She had a "professional habit" and asked curiously:
"Sister Gu, why are you thinking of pooling money to hire a 'temporary teacher'?"
Gu Changle's expression slowly softened, and the corners of his mouth twitched invisibly:
"I accidentally had a child before, and I was reluctant to kill her, so I gave birth like this.
"I don't want her to be like me in the future. I always feel that it should be better to be literate and have more opportunities."
Jiang Baimian echoed:
"Indeed, the situation in Weed City is relatively stable, and literacy is an advantage.
"Has the child gone to the classroom?"
She didn't know the name of the place where the "temporary teacher" gave lectures, so she could only use the most common nouns to define it.
"She's only two years old, how do you get there?" Gu Changle smiled, "I put her with Aunt Nan."
Jiang Baimian asked thoughtfully while climbing the stairs:
"You want to teach her after you've learned it yourself?"
"That's right. I'm still young, I'm still relatively popular, I have room to choose, and my income is still stable. Coupled with the dividends from the gun shop, I can support the cost of hiring a 'temporary teacher'. After a few years, wait until An An grows up and is able to teach by herself. Who knows what it will be like, and whether it is still in this state. I just think, I will learn more first, and then I can teach her by myself no matter how bad it is.” Gu Changle said made his own consideration.
"Yes, people without far-sightedness must have near-term worries." Jiang Baimian praised.
Papapa, Shang Jianyao also applauded.
While chatting like this, they came to the fifth floor and entered a relatively spacious room by the alley.
The light from the outside shines through the four-sided glass windows, illuminating the bed, table, bench, paper and simple blackboard quite clearly.
At this time, seven or eight women were sitting on stools and on the edge of the bed, looking down at the paper in their hands, and quietly reviewed the words they had learned earlier.
Jiang Baimian looked around and pulled Shang Jianyao to sit next to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
Wrapped in a shriveled white padded jacket, the girl stared intently at the notes from the previous class.
In this cold room, she trembled slightly.
When the other party came to an end and raised his head, Jiang Baimian showed a harmless smile:
"How long have you been teaching here?"
The girl looked beautiful, but she was a little haggard.
She politely replied:
"It's been almost two months."
"How's the teacher?" Jiang Baimian asked, pondering.
This is probably the biggest concern for first-time students.
"Very good, very patient, and know a lot." The girl didn't sting her praise.
At this time, Shang Jianyao interjected:
"Why do you think about pooling money for a 'temporary teacher'?"
Only then did the girl realize that something was wrong. Looking at him, she said in surprise:
"How can there be a man?"
This matter was done by the women who were engaged in the flesh business in the yard, and usually no men appeared.
"Aren't men allowed to do flesh business?" Shang Jianyao was righteous.
"My friend." Gu Changle hurriedly introduced.
The girl's eyes swept across the faces of Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian, becoming more and more puzzled.
She didn't ask more, sighed, and answered the question just now:
"My sister is a prostitute in a nightclub. Whether or not it accepts customers, it doesn't matter what kind of customers it accepts, she's just like a slave.
"She got sick half a year ago and was kicked out. She searched for someone to treat her for a while, but she didn't get cured, and she died not long after that...
"She has always said that she has no hope of doing this business, and she can't jump out of it. She might die of illness in a few years, so I don't want to learn from her. But what can I do? I have to live first, right
"I am pulling the guests by myself. It's okay to be careful, but it's not the way to go on like this. One day I will be like my sister. When she dies..."
The girl stopped, lowered her head, and turned to "laugh":
"I just thought, while I still have some money, I can read and write, and learn more things. Maybe I will have the opportunity to work as a clerk in the municipal building in the future, and I can also take on the task of relic hunter that does not require adventure, so that I don't have to do this business anymore."
"Yes." Jiang Baimian wholeheartedly agreed.
The girl wanted to say something, and suddenly saw someone coming in at the door, so she stood up and said:
"Hello Teacher An."
Jiang Baimian followed and looked over, and was a little dumbfounded for a while.
The "temporary teacher" who came was actually someone she knew.
An Ruxiang, a relic hunter who once met in the "Black Marsh Wilderness" and Marsh No. 1 Ruins.
She is a member of Wu Shoushi's team, and she knew the location of Wu Shoushi's body from the "Old Tune Group".
An Ruxiang's originally cold and indifferent expression also fluctuated a little:
"you?"
"Surprise?" Shang Jianyao stood up and asked enthusiastically.
No longer wearing army green camouflage, An Ruxiang, who was dressed in black, opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer.
She was both alert and confused.
Jiang Baimian hurriedly pointed out the door and said:
"Go out and talk."
An Ruxiang nodded silently and walked out of the room under the doubtful eyes of the students.
At the end of this floor, Jiang Baimian was the first to say:
"We took an investigation mission and didn't expect to meet you."
An Ruxiang's expression darkened, and immediately returned to normal:
"After leaving the ruins, we took Shoushi back to Weed City and buried him where he was born.
"Our trip was quite rich, and there were only two people left, so we simply did our own thing.
"I'm not in the mood. I didn't take the task for a long time. Later, I recovered a little and took some tasks in the city casually, including being a 'temporary teacher'."
"Then you just settled down like this?" Jiang Baimian asked curiously.
In her eyes, An Ruxiang is a woman who is very suitable for adventure and battle.
An Ruxiang looked back at the temporary classroom and said calmly:
"I just wanted to be a week and find something to do."
"In the end, I fell in love with this profession?" Shang Jianyao asked with interest.
"I can't talk about whether I like it or not." An Ruxiang's tone did not fluctuate.
Perhaps she met an acquaintance who had helped each other, she talked a little more, and continued to say:
"I grew up in a killer organization, there's nothing to hide, there were many such organizations in the past few years.
"Later, that group was destroyed and I got away with it and started wandering on the ash.
"The education I received since I was a child was how to kill people, even if I knew how to read, it was for killing people. Once there was no goal, I didn't know what to do, and I couldn't find, um, what Shou Shi said, the meaning of survival.
"It wasn't until I met Shou Shi that I slowly got out of that state. Maybe I realized it was too late and he couldn't wait..."
Speaking of which, An Ruxiang was silent for a few seconds before saying:
"After he died, I couldn't find the meaning of survival again.
"But when I gave them lessons, I found that there was light in their eyes when they looked at me."
