Tianya Village is a quiet village located south of the Yellow River.
A village surrounded by golden wheat fields and emerald green mountains.
Seeing the loud characters "Tianya Village" carved on a huge stone at the entrance of the village, Xiaoluzi stretched out happily, stuck out his tongue, and said: "After asking around all the way, I finally arrived at this paradise. "
It was finally close, and Xiao Luzi breathed a sigh of relief. If she could, she really wanted to fly directly to Duan Tianya to meet her master and that old man Wu Ai.
Xiao Mafei, who was holding the two children, quickly shouted: "Tianya Village, I'll pull it!"
As soon as you arrive at the entrance of the village, you can smell the aroma of wine, and you can also see some children wearing small gourds around their waists, not to mention adults, some sitting directly on the grain piles and lying down to drink.
The children also became excited. Smelling the aroma of wine, they all got off the carriage and ran towards the village to see this strange thing.
Looking at the golden pieces, Chen Qing sighed: "Since I was a child, I heard that the Brewmaster has no love for brewing wine, but he has no luck to collect it. Today, it seems that the name of the Brewmaster is well-deserved."
Xiaoluzi was also intoxicated by the intoxicating aroma of wine, which was like the fragrance of grains in a wheat field, so pure and natural, so natural and comfortable.
It seems that people who come here can feel intoxicated and talk freely with the sweet aroma of wine.
Xiaoluzi closed his eyes and enjoyed everything that nature had brought to them.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes and saw a towering mountain peak reaching into the clouds. She couldn't help but wonder, could that be Duan Tianya
At this time, Chen Qing looked at this place, which was like a fairyland. It seemed that the people living here were all the gods in the sky. It seemed that they could see their chic postures and unrestrained style.
Chen Qing said to Xiaoluzi: "It is rumored that people who are not good at drinking will fall down after just two sips. But there will be sweet dreams after drinking."
So profitable! Xiaoluzi nodded vigorously, thinking that this time he would be lucky.
Then, Chen Qing saw the cute expression of the little deer and added: "The only one who can relieve worries is Du Kang."
Xiaoluzi nodded, this Qingqing is really talented.
I think this Tianya Village has a long history, and the tradition of Duan Tianya has been passed down from generation to generation.
Seeing the children running towards the village, the Donkey of God was a little unhappy. It stamped its feet, raised its head proudly, and stared at Xiao Luzi with its eyes wide open.
Xiaoluzi was shocked, what was going on
Seeing how interesting the donkey was, Chen Qing explained to Xiaoluzi: "Your little donkey is probably tired. Find a place for it to rest quickly, otherwise it will probably get angry again."
Hearing Chen Qing's words, the God's Donkey immediately barked "Hmm" and "Hmm", seeming to agree with her words.
Looking at Duan Tianya so close in front of her, Xiaoluzi really wanted to fly up, grab her master's beard, and play with it.
But after running all this way, the carriage is probably not going to be able to get on, and the donkey of God has been completely excluded and not considered at all.
At this time, seeing a rare visitor coming to the village, a drunken uncle hurriedly came to the entrance of the village with a drunken look, took a sip of wine, and said with a confused smile: "You are going to Duan Tianya, there are many places there. The cliffs are so steep that you adults might lose your lives before reaching the halfway point, let alone these little kids.”
After hearing this, Xiao Luzi and Ma Fei looked at each other. What this man said was not unreasonable.
"Then I dare to ask, sir, how did you all get up there? Or when will the wine wizard come down?" Xiaoluzi thought to himself that the reason for such a drinking custom at the foot of the mountain must be due to Wu Ai, so they must have a lot of connections. wisps of contact.
The uncle smiled again and took another sip of wine. After drinking, he said with a rosy face: "Girl, you are joking, how can we go up there? The Jiu Xian always uses grain to make wine, and he usually exchanges wine for grain when he comes down. The day he runs out of food is the day he goes down the mountain."
Ma Fei was puzzled, rubbed his head, and asked the passerby: "Oh, do you know the last time he came down the mountain?"
"I think I came down half a month ago. The wine master seemed to be planning to entertain some friends, so he got a lot of wine to exchange for meat and some vegetables."
After the passerby smiled and answered, he picked up his wine gourd and walked away. When he left, he reluctantly recited Wu Ai's poem "How many times are there at the end of the world? How many times are there below?" Now that I'm drunk, two and two figures become three persons from behind."
Xiaoluzi secretly sighed, are all the people in Tianya Village so talented and cultured? I really wouldn’t know if I didn’t come, but I would be shocked when I come.
Xiaoluzi thought to himself that if the master was still waiting for him, he would definitely come down in the next few days or so.
Seeing these talented villagers and looking at their simple style, Chen Qing thought of Xiaoluzi's hometown - a paradise without war or gunpowder smoke.
Now, isn't this Tianya Village the paradise in my heart
Chen Qing looked happy and said: "Xiaolu, I like this Tianya Village."
Xiaoluzi nodded quickly and expressed her excitement that she liked it too, saying: "This village is really nice. Although it can't be called isolated from the world, it is definitely a good place to live."
Thinking about the group of children who were chased by the villains of the Tongtian Sect that day, and thinking about the lion that suddenly jumped out that day, Xiao Luzi firmly believed that God has the virtue of good life.
If the children were here, they would forget the unhappiness they had and grow up happily.
Thinking about the ascetics in the huge forest that day, since she had entrusted them to her, she must also protect them.
Seeing Xiaoluzi's thoughtful look, Chen Qing had already come up with the idea of settling here, so she said to Xiaoluzi: "Xiaoluzi, this is the first time I have gone out so far. I used to live in Chenjiazhuang." I thought about opening a school.”
Open a school? It's really a word that wakes up the dreamer.
Xiaoluzi suddenly turned his head and said to Chen Qing: "Yes, Qingqing, knowledge changes destiny. If you open a school, you can teach them to read and write."
Chen Qing thought about all the things she had learned since she was a child, and couldn't help but smile happily and said: "When I was a child, it was because my family had some wealth that I was able to have a husband come to teach me how to read and calligraphy, but my mother still taught me more about working as a female worker. .”
Chen Qing said these words to express that in this feudal society, only a few female children have the opportunity to learn.
In their time, people in Zhuangzi always believed that women should keep to themselves and avoid publicity. Even though there were many famous female heroes in the world, people in the countryside always believed that stability was happiness.
Therefore, they can endure the deprivation of their belongings, so they can endure the tyranny of the invaders.
But now Chen Qing is standing here, looking at the bright sky and the glittering scenes in front of her. She can finally decide whether her life is good or bad by herself.
Chen Qing's eyes were slightly startled, and she breathed every bit of air here seriously. She had already made a huge decision in her heart, "Xiaolu, I want to open a school here to teach children to read, write and draw."
Xiaoluzi was shocked by this sudden decision. The woman she rescued from the lakeside was stronger than she imagined. But her wish was so beautiful. Xiaoluzi seemed to see a spotless heart in her pure eyes.
It seems that in Chen Qing's eyes, everything is so simple.
For a woman who has been pampered since childhood, her luck or misfortune over the years may be due to the fact that she can live a carefree life compared to many others.
It seemed like the wind was blowing, and the sound of wheat swaying came from the field, mixed with the strong aroma of wine and the warmth of the sun. It seemed that the whole world was applauding for it.
Xiaoluzi quickly took Chen Qing's hand and ran, saying: "Qingqing, let's go into the village quickly. Find a place to sit down first, and then discuss this matter."
Xiaoluzi's impatience is bound to lead to turmoil and panic.
Xiao Mafei followed with the children. When Xiaoluzi and Chen Qing were discussing the matter, his eyes were still a little gloomy.
It's just that Xiaoluzi didn't notice that a child who sneaked out from a place isolated from the rest of the world, a child who wanted to follow her around the world, seemed to be settling here in the future, with an unwilling heart.
But soon, Ma Fei and several children strode towards the village, shouting: "Sister Lu, Sister Qing, slow down!"
Xiaoluzi and Chen Qing couldn't help turning around and making faces at him, "Take care of your children by yourself!"
Ma Fei could only smile angrily.
Keeping that divine donkey, you suddenly couldn't find the east, west, south, and west, so you abandoned it like this? It refused to accept it and did not care about reminiscing with the pony beside it. It dragged its heavy body and chased Xiaoluzi in the direction of Xiao Luzi with the green blood sword in its pocket.
The children were happy and running on the road. They loved this place from the bottom of their hearts.
———
After finding a place to live in the village, Ma Fei took care of the children, while Chen Qing and Xiao Luzi went out to look for a big house.
Xiaoluzi also talked to Chen Qing on the way. Although Chen Qing has a lot of money now, after all, there are still so many children, including herself, who need a lot of daily expenses, and setting up a school also requires a lot of expenses. If you just spend money but don't make money, you won't be able to hold on for long.
Here Xiaoluzi also told Chen Qing the simplest truth. At that time, the Chen family's monthly expenses were only around 50, and their income was 80, so they could keep the family standing.
Now they only spend at least two ounces of copper coins per day, the minimum per month is six taels of silver, and the minimum is eighty taels of silver a year to survive. At this rate, Chen Qing's little money can last for a year. After five years, older children can fend for themselves, but younger children still need adult care.
If we charge tuition fees for other people’s children from the beginning, some people may not let their children come. After all, this place is not as good as big cities. Tianya Village's income mainly depends on wine, and the wine fairy has an insatiable demand for food. If you can rent a few pieces of land, ask someone to sow and grow food for them in the spring, and then plant plants suitable for the place after the harvest. Just go and exchange wine with Wu Ai and then sell it to the rich. If it doesn't work, you can also learn from the villagers to buy a winery and make it bigger and stronger yourself.
Chen Qing was shocked by Xiaoluzi's many thoughts at once, but she nodded happily because she thought Xiaoluzi's words were quite reasonable.
Therefore, Chen Qing spent forty taels of silver to buy a decent house. As for buying land, I had to pay a high price of twenty-five taels to buy two pieces of land.
Xiaoluzi also discussed with Chen Qing that Chen Qing would teach them ancient Chinese while he would teach them some arithmetic and let Ma Fei be the life teacher responsible for cooking, taking the children to exercise, running and so on.
Everything went smoothly, and everyone had moved into their new home by nightfall. With unanimous consent, it was named Happy Academy.
Dear children, may you grow up happily.
