Kidnapping All Mankind

Chapter 36: Knowledge is trouble

Views:

It kept raining.

Gradually dense raindrops fell on the only gravel path in the village of Akeli, splashing everywhere, making a series of pop, snap, snap sounds.

When the path gradually became cloudy, Wu Qingchen, who had been stealing rabbits from the hillside outside the village more than ten minutes ago, appeared at the corner, grabbed the hood on his head with both hands, trotted all the way, and rushed into the church panting.

"Loss, are you here?" Hearing the movement, a small figure squatting beside the altar in the church immediately stood up and turned to look at the door.

"Good day, Andrei, I... here I come."

Taking a few deep breaths to adjust his shortness of breath, Wu Qingchen walked towards the altar, and noticed that Andre was already holding a rag in his hand, Wu Qingchen couldn't help frowning: "Andre, you Already started? Am I late?"

"No, I'm just starting too, and the altar hasn't been wiped yet."

From such a dialogue, it is conceivable that Wu Qingchen did not enter the church to avoid the rain.

The time is approaching dusk. According to the request of the pastor, Wu Qingchen has always come to the church at this time in recent days. First, he and Andre will clean the altar, slate and seats, and then participate in the evening prayer together, and listen to Xiao An by the way. Andre's homework in the afternoon.

After a period of contact, Wu Qingchen and little Andre are already familiar with each other. The second son of this small family was sent to study theology with Pastor Praia when he was just twelve years old. Now he has been married for a year and a half. Time, because of his young age and his mediocre talent, little Andre found it difficult to teach many lessons taught by the pastor, and he was a little distressed about it.

On the other hand, because he is the second son of the family and cannot inherit property, little Andre has accepted strict family discipline since he was just sensible. Andre is diligent, honest and humble, and very obedient.

All in all, the little Andre standing next to Wu Qingchen at this time, if placed on the earth, would definitely be the "other people's child" that his parents and relatives talked about when they educated their juniors.

The process of getting along with Wu Qingchen was undoubtedly very pleasant for this "child from someone else's family".

From the perspective of Andre, when he was a child, he had to follow the rules in everything in his family life, and he had to be cautious all the time, like walking on thin ice. When he was studying with the pastor, he repeated the same track every day. It is easy to have a companion of similar age, and little Andre has been in a state of excitement and joy in recent days.

As for Wu Qingchen's point of view, the mentality of an adult in his twenties, coupled with the emergency instillation of several hours of educational experience by dozens of top kindergarten teachers, if this is not possible to have a good relationship with a twelve or thirteen-year-old child Get along, unless Wu Qingchen's head is caught by the elevator door, and it must be an elevator that is shuttling between floors.

Walking to the side door of the church, Wu Qingchen picked up a broom that must be extremely rare in this world from the door, and began to clean the stone floor of the church.

Wu cleaned the floor in the early morning, and little Andre cleaned the altar and pulpit. It didn't take long, and this part of the cleaning work was coming to an end soon.

Looking at the slate he had cleaned with satisfaction, Wu Qingchen put back the broom, little Andre also put away the rags, and both of them took out a duster from the pulpit and stood in front of the pews in the church.

The cleaning of the last part will start soon, and the review of homework will start soon.

----

Every time at this time, Wu Qingchen inevitably thought of the situation when he sat in on the afternoon homework for the first time.

Due to the reminder given by the Earth Staff Group in advance, Wu Qingchen understood that the education in the medieval world must be quite backward.

However, after working extra hard to finish the afternoon farm work ahead of schedule, Wu Qingchen, who was sweating profusely, walked into the church, first helped little Andre clean the church, enjoyed the almost hypnotic evening prayer, and finally waited until the pastor stepped down from the pulpit and sat down. Beside Little Andre, when he started to teach the afternoon homework, Wu Qingchen immediately lowered his head and quickly hid his stunned expression.

After that, when the homework explanation was over, the pastor quickly packed up the books as usual, walked out of the church, and went back to his room. Only little Andre was left in the church with a sad face to review his homework, but he made mistakes again and again, which was a complete mess Wu Qingchen hurriedly quickened his pace and left the church, trying so hard not to laugh.

----

The duster flicked lightly, dusting off the seats.

At the same time, the immature voice of "1, 2, 3, 4, 5..." sounded in the church.

Obviously, Wu Qingchen and Little Andre were cleaning the seats while reading out the number of seats cleaned.

The homework taught by the pastor is divided into two parts: the morning and the afternoon. The morning part is all about theological classics. As for the content of the afternoon...

That's right, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5..." Counting from one to fifty, this is what little Andre learned.

In addition, according to little Andre's memory, the homework of counting from one to twenty was taught by Pastor Praia for half a month at that time, without the assistance of fingers and toes, counting from twenty-one to fifty , Little Andre has been studying for at least two months.

That's right, for little Andrei, who is twelve or thirteen years old, and has already entered junior high school and started to learn algebra and plane geometry, even if he counts from one to fifty, it still feels a little difficult, a full two and a half Difficult content that has not been mastered for months.

Praia doesn't have any special feelings about this kind of learning progress, because whether it is Little Andre, Praia herself, or Praia's former teacher, it took the same two hours to learn the same arithmetic content. Three long months.

There is no systematic educational theory, generations are taught randomly, and generations are taught indiscriminately;

There is no large-scale cultural exchange, and most teachers and students work behind closed doors. Even if they finally have educational experience, there is no soil for spreading it;

The absolute illiteracy rate is almost 999% of the social environment, illiterate in all directions, most people can only rely on ten fingers to compare how much, serfs, common people's family property almost never need to use mathematics, nobles are self-sufficient, almost no commercial activities;

With all these situations brought together, this kind of learning progress and learning content became inevitable.

"25, 26, 27, 28..."

While cleaning the table, Wu Qingchen also read the number, and got countless envious and admiring eyes from the little Andre next to him.

Regarding this point, Wu Qingchen is quite helpless. With a mature mind in his twenties, Wu Qingchen is definitely not as bored as to gain a sense of superiority from an underage child.

However, also because of this mature mind, coupled with the learning thinking cultivated by the education on the earth, relying on the twenty minutes of standing in the church to listen, and the unconscious memorization at home all night, Wu Qingchen quickly mastered the medieval world This utilizes a number system with a dozen variations of lexical combinations.

So, the next day, when the pastor finished teaching his homework, checked little Andre's progress, and then asked Wu Qingchen to count the same, Wu Qingchen quickly stirred his brain, racked his brains, and tortured his tongue again and again, Just trying to make the numbers sound like mistakes all over the place.

It is conceivable that Wu Qingchen has a systematic way of thinking after all. Even if he makes a mistake on purpose, there are traces to follow. , Pastor Praia's eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately asked Wu Qingchen to review while cleaning the seat, and to demonstrate and remind each other with little Andre who was stuttering next to him.

There is no way, in order to try to cover up the truth of his study, every time Wu Qingchen cleans the seat and reads the number, he will deliberately read more than a dozen mistakes. Soon, Wu Qingchen discovered that it is quite easy to memorize fifty numbers, but it is really torture to insert more than a dozen mistakes from the fifty numbers and have to remember the positions of these more than a dozen mistakes all the time. .

What was even more tormenting was that little Andre had made progress, so of course Wu Qingchen couldn't stand still every day, so Wu Qingchen had to remember which of these dozen mistakes had been cancelled, and which ones had to be continued.

After two or three days like this, thinking about these fifty numbers all the time, and reminding himself of these dozens of mistakes, Wu Qingchen almost became mentally weak.

In desperation, Wu Qingchen had no choice but to make great strides. In just a few days, he quickly compressed the original dozens of mistakes into a few relatively easy ones. At the same time, he was forced to enjoy the surprised eyes of Pastor Praia and the envious worship of little Andre gaze.

Such helplessness, such compulsion...

Wu Qingchen finally began to understand two famous sayings, one step beyond half a step is a genius, and one step beyond is a neuropathy.

It turns out that there is too much knowledge and too much thinking, which is indeed a kind of trouble.
