Chapter 57: Students and teachers

"So, in the end, Master Barres not only waived your family's summer service, lent you three oxen, but also rewarded you with a whole sack of bread? A sack of real bread?"

By the creek near the church, the future pastor, little Andre's mouth was wide open, his eyes were wide open, completely unaware that the clay pots he was holding in his hands were constantly spilling water from the stream.

Because of his young age, it was difficult to walk at night. The night before yesterday, when the pastor and the agricultural officer went out in the middle of the night to look for Wu Qingchen to watch the effect of cattle treatment, they did not bring little Andre with them.

The agricultural officer and his party left, and little Andre was left alone in the huge church. The helpless little Andre had to climb onto the bed and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. The friends you make get into trouble.

In the early morning, when it was almost time for morning prayer, little Andre was about to go out to perform the daily routine of changing the holy water, when he happened to meet Wu Qingchen who came to the church and was about to pray.

For some unknown reason, on this day, the pastor did not leave his bedroom early as usual, without the pastor's serious eyes watching him, little Andre immediately grabbed Wu Qingchen and walked to the stream together, asking all the way what happened to the night before yesterday. Things that happened.

Knowing that Wu Qingchen's cattle's injury has improved greatly, and that the process of treating another injured cattle in front of the pastor and agricultural officer went smoothly, and finally got a pretty good return, little Andre was very happy. relieved.

Naturally, with the involuntary envy of certain rewards and the unique desire for performance of young people, little Andrei began to talk about the discussion process between the agricultural officer and the pastor the night before yesterday, and the reasons why the two finally decided to go to Wu Qingchen's house.

Of course, at this time, what was originally a reckless interruption during the discussion, but when Andre spit it out again from the mouth of the little Andre, it became a consideration for friends. After careful consideration, efforts to create opportunities, and repeated efforts, finally finally obtained Opportunity.

"This... this... Andre, my friend... thank you so much..."

----Well, well, it seems that whether it is the earth world or the medieval world, whether it is a modern bureaucrat or an indigenous child, taking advantage of the opportunity to ask for favors is a natural skill.

Holding Little Andre's arm, Wu Qingchen's hands trembled slightly, her lips trembled slightly, she was so grateful that she almost shed hot tears: "... By the way, Andre, the pocket that Master Barres rewarded yesterday, inside The white, soft, flaky thing called real bread?"

"Bread! You idiot!" Little Andre licked his lips.

"... Listen to the name, is it for eating? But... But, how should I eat it? I don't know how... Or... Or, I will bring two slices this afternoon... You can teach me, okay?"

"Okay!" Little Andre's voice immediately became louder, and soon he hesitated a little: "But...but you have to come here secretly, don't let the pastor see it, because...because...because..."

"Because" For a long time, little Andre's eyes suddenly lit up: "Because...the pastor doesn't like bread!"

"... Definitely! Definitely! Thank you... Thank you so much..."

Wu Qingchen's hands trembled more obviously, and his lips trembled more intensely.

----You little brat...

Having to lie to children in front of 7 billion people, and then having to be deceived by children in front of 7 billion people, Wu Qingchen can imagine what his own image will look like.

Little Andre's interruption was indeed accidental, but without Little Andre's unintentional interruption, Wu Qingchen and himself had no intention of leaking, the cow was unintentionally seen, the pastor unintentionally noticed, the agricultural officer overheard, etc. There are dozens of things that can be done independently. Selected "unintentional".

All in all, according to the detailed deduction of the analysis group and dozens of plans of the staff group, Wu Qingchen is quite sure that it is 100% inevitable, necessary, and bound to happen that the pastor and the agricultural officer seek him to treat the cattle.

However, the conversation with little Andre was not all fruitless, except that the possibility of spoiling the bread was reduced by half. During the conversation, I learned the initial discussion between the agricultural officer and the pastor, and learned about the interests between secularism and religion. Conflict, Wu Qingchen has a deeper understanding of the "religion also often means order and rules" mentioned by the training team many times during religious training;

I also have a deeper understanding of the role of the religion described by the staff group that is directly rooted in the peasants, and whose interests are mostly consistent with the direct interests of the peasants, in stabilizing the social environment.

"By the way..." While speaking, holding the clay pot that almost spilled half of the stream with both hands, little Andre suddenly turned his head, "In this case, Luo Si, in the next few days, you will treat the cattle in the village. It hurts... when are you going to start?"

"When will it start?" Wu Qingchen smiled slightly: "It's already started!"

"It started a long time ago? What do you mean?" Little Andre frowned slightly.

"It started early means..." Wu Qingchen pointed to the two small wooden bowls placed beside the stone wall at the entrance of the church, "I've already healed the wounds of three cattle!"

"So fast?"

"It's not too fast, after all, healing is not just a one-time thing..." Wu Qingchen shook his head, "And...the three cattle that he treats don't need to spend time traveling...it's very close to my house..."

"It's not so fast anyway, is it? You get up early?"

"Slightly early..."

"Are you up before dawn?"

"A little bit earlier..."

A little bit earlier means...

Last night, before falling asleep, standing next to Wu Qingchen's bed, old William hesitated for a long time, knocking on the side incessantly, asking if there were any different arrangements for the treatment of cattle, whether different herbs were needed, and whether there were different treatments Way.

After learning that as long as it is a bloody and injured cattle, the general treatment methods are similar, Old William finally hesitated to ask whether he could consider solving problems for his three old friends first.

These three old friends are naturally the closest neighbors of the old William. The three heads of the family are Richard, Freeman, and Old Holt.

Unfortunately, none of the farming cattle of these three families escaped the accident that happened yesterday, and they were all slightly injured. If they wait for natural recovery, it will take at least ten days. One can imagine how much life has been affected. Huge hit.

This was originally Wu Qingchen's plan at the beginning, and Wu Qingchen certainly had no reason to object.

Old William, who had been repeatedly confirmed by Wu Qingchen, finally let out a long sigh of relief, and ran to the homes of three neighbors in the middle of the night.

Soon, Richard, Freeman, and Old Hult, three families of nearly twenty people, all ran to Wu Qingchen's house, saw the recovery of Wu Qingchen's cattle, and learned that the agricultural officer and The pastor's recognition of Wu Qingchen, one can imagine how excited these twenty people looked at Wu Qingchen, and what pleading words they uttered.

Therefore, "a little bit earlier" than "it's not yet dawn", that is, when he got up immediately after going to bed, Wu Qingchen had to rush to the houses of the three families non-stop in the middle of the night. , At the same time, the lucky cattle had the first treatment.

The technical means, theoretical level, and medical knowledge far surpassed the medieval world for thousands of years. At the same time, after the hands-on training of dozens of top veterinarians, it is conceivable that the heroic sacrifice of nearly two hundred innocent cattle in the earth world is different from the previous two. As with the previous treatment, the treatment for the farm cattle of the family of three old friends of old William must have gone quite well.

Reaping countless gratitude, or rather, harvesting countless tears and snot, Wu Qingchen, who was dark and sticky in the night, took another bath vigorously before finally crawling back to the bed again.

"This is really..." After listening to Wu Qingchen's description, Little Andre opened his mouth and eyes wide again: "This is really... really... very hard."

"All right… "

By this time, the two of them had already returned to the church, and the clay pot filled with stream water was placed beside the altar. After looking at the sundial at the side door of the church, Wu Qingchen pushed the future pastor: "Andre, it's time for morning prayer." It's coming soon, maybe, you should go to the next room to have a look."

"This..." Also glanced at the sundial, Andre pondered for a while, then nodded quickly: "I'll go and have a look."

----

Church, bedroom.

Through the cracks in the wooden door, a few morning rays of sunlight penetrated into the room and slanted into the room. On the bed made of soft rushes, the Priest Praia stretched his body, closed his eyes, and was still immersed in his sleep. There was a soft smile on his face, and he dreamed of something wonderful.

"Duk...duk...duk...priest...teacher..."

It is unclear whether the biological clock of habit played a role, or the sound of the wooden door being knocked. His eyelids trembled slightly for a few seconds, and Priest Praia slowly opened his eyes.

The few seconds of confusion that just woke up quickly passed, and suddenly, as if thinking of something in an instant, Praia jumped up from the bed and rushed to the stone table on the left side of the bedroom.

Without caring about rubbing his dry eye sockets, he rushed to the stone table, Praia opened his eyes wide, and put his head almost directly on the table.

On the stone table, a thin wooden stick with a blackened end, a small plate of dried ink, a scroll of parchment filled with paint, and several grass stalks, leaves, and A thorn thorn, and a stone that looked completely ordinary, just like the previous ones, secretly brought out from Wu Qingchen's house.

Fifty-three students and teachers (Part 2)

It is conceivable that last night, grass stalks, leaves, stones... and a few thorns were hidden in the not-so-large robes... At the same time, the agricultural officer who was reluctant to leave the church for a long time continued to perfunctory for a long time. What kind of trouble did Pastor Playa suffer.

It is also conceivable that using a thin wooden stick, a small scraper, and ink that has to be recreated every once in a while, to fill a whole sheepskin scroll, and to complete the content that usually takes at least two or three days. One night, Pastor Praia had no time to close his eyes.

However, at this moment, the expression on Praia's face has nothing to do with "hard work" or "tiredness". Holding the scribbled and crudely drawn parchment, the pastor couldn't hide his smile.

This is the way to treat cattle!

This is a proven and feasible method of treating cattle!

This is a treatment method that can make the farm cattle owned by one's own family have an extra guarantee!

This is a treatment method that can make one's position in the family more stable!

I couldn't help but start to imagine again, the smile on Praia's face became more and more intense. At this time, there was another knock on the door.

"Duk...duk...duk...priest...teacher..."

"Andre? What's the matter?"

"Master, morning prayers are coming soon."

"Got it...you go and prepare first, I'll be here soon."

"Okay, teacher."

The sound of footsteps walking away could be heard outside the door, and when he regained his composure, Praia opened the wooden cabinet by the wall, put away the thin wooden stick, small scraper and ink, carefully wrapped the parchment written all night, and took out the A sack to hold the grass stalks, leaves, thorns and stones placed on the low table.

After doing this, Praia finally opened the door.

Walking into the church, Praia looked around. The altar and the ground had been cleaned, and the holy water had been replaced. On the left side of the church, Little Rose and Andre Jr. were lifting up a seat and placing it more neatly.

"Okay, let's put it down first..."

Stepping up to the podium, Praia pressed his hand and signaled the students to put down their seats, "It's almost time, let's pray early."

"Pastor..." Wu Qingchen looked up.

"What's wrong, Rose?"

"It's this..." Wu Qingchen took out the two silver coins found in the bread bag from his robe, "This is what I found in the bread bag, I don't know what to do..."

"Silver coin?" Praia took a look and put it on the rostrum. "This should be the silver coin left by the agricultural officer. Let's put it here first. His Excellency Bales should come over today, and I will hand it to him..."

"what's for me?"

Before Praia finished speaking, the church was slightly dark, and the agricultural officer appeared at the door of the church with three followers.

"Good day, Lord Bales..." Praia nodded, "You just happened to come, come and have a look... Is this your silver coin?"

"Huh..." Walking to the edge of the pulpit and taking the silver coin handed out by the pastor, Barris involuntarily touched the pocket of his robe, and soon showed a surprised expression: "That's right, this is my silver coin, what's going on? ? Did I accidentally fall into the church yesterday?"

"No, you generously gave it to my students, along with your food for two days."

"Yeah, did I forget it in the bread bag? Lost found the silver coin? Did he send it over early in the morning?" Seeing Praia nodding non-stop, Bales looked at Wu Qingchen and smiled slightly: "So... smart Besides, Ross, you're honest."

"This belongs to you, master." Wu Qingchen bowed hastily.

"Well... still very humble..." It can be seen that compared with yesterday, the agricultural officer is in a much better mood.

"Okay, Lord Bales, please stop your praise for now, the morning prayer is about to begin, maybe you should find a seat to sit down."

"Okay, Mr. Praia."

As a result, the rows of seats in the church finally got a precious opportunity to perform, ushering in the long-lost audience who could sit down at prayer time.

Obviously, such audiences are undoubtedly quite familiar with the process of prayer.

Sitting on the seat, Barres rubbed his shoulder with his right hand, and as the little Andre tapped the small chime lightly, the master agricultural officer immediately performed a sacrament gracefully, then put his hands together, bowed his head slightly, and the whole morning prayer For more than ten minutes, he always looked solemn and remained silent.

After the morning prayer, Praia began to teach the homework of the day. Bales, who was on the sidelines, was still quiet, but the expression on his face gradually became suspicious as the lecture progressed. When the lecture was about to end, he even let out a surprise .

"What's the matter? Your Excellency Bales..."

"I'm sorry to bother you..." Barris bowed his head, apologizing, "Please continue."

"It's okay, just tell me."

"That's it..." Bales frowned: "If I heard correctly, you seem to be teaching your students how to add numbers?"

"Of course, you are an agricultural officer, this is your expertise."

"If I remember correctly, both Andre and Rose seem to be only thirteen or fourteen years old?"

"That's right."

"In this way... at such a young age, I started to learn such difficult content..." The agricultural officer frowned deeply: "...is it...is it...maybe...maybe too...too...too..."

"Perhaps too far?"

"No, maybe it's too early." Bales shook his head and put on a more euphemistic expression.

"It's too early..." Praia couldn't help but smiled wryly, knowing what Barres was thinking.

At the very beginning, when it was found that Ross and Andre Jr. could count from one to fifty proficiently in only ten days, and then they could count from one to one hundred in only five days, during half a month of teaching time , Playa has exactly the same expression as the agricultural officer at this time.

That's really amazing speed.

After all, the education methods in the medieval world were quite backward, and the concept of "education methods" did not even exist at all. The inheritance of knowledge still remained in the model of apprenticeship education. A priest might only teach one or two students throughout his life. There is no experience accumulation or method summary. The teaching method can only rely on intuition. The only experience is the vague memory of my own study ten or even decades ago.

It is conceivable that even in the earth world, if a student who has just entered school is thrown into a place where there is no school, no classrooms, no classmates, no textbooks, and no homework, most of the people who come into contact with them will be completely illiterate. The only source of knowledge is a semi-literate teacher who has no teaching experience at all, nor has he received any teaching education. At the same time, he only teaches ten minutes a day. For high-end technology, everyone has to call a genius sincerely.

However, also thanks to the lack of any teaching experience and no teaching education, although Praia felt that Wu Qingchen and little Andre learned arithmetic too fast, but because he did not have any comparison objects, his previous learning Because the memory is too long, it is not too frightening.

In any case, learning fast is never a bad thing.

"Is it early or not..." Praia waved his hand while recalling a little bit, signaling Wu Qingchen and little Andre to get up and stand in front of the agricultural officer: "Your Excellency Bales, maybe you should ask yourself."

"Oh?" Barres turned his gaze to the two students in front of him, and began to question directly: "There are fifteen seats on the left, and thirteen seats on the right. How many seats are there in total?"

"Fifteen... Thirteen... Fifteen... Thirteen..." Little Andre looked up at the roof, murmured something, and finally replied after a long while: "Twenty-eight, there are twenty-eight seats in total."

"What about twenty-one on the left and fifteen on the right?"

"… Thirty-six."

"What about twenty-seven on the left and nineteen on the right?"

"Three... three... or thirty-six?"

"Ha..." Barres laughed.

Praia looked a little embarrassed, "After all, I only studied for five or six days."

"That's right, it's already pretty good." Barres nodded, and his eyes shifted to Wu Qingchen, "Twenty-seven on the left, nineteen on the right."

"Forty-six."

"Fifteen on the left, sixteen on the right."

"thirty-one."

"Thirty-seven on the left and forty-five on the right."

"Eighty-four."

"Answer so fast? And they are all quite accurate... Huh? In this case, maybe, Ross, you can..."

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Barres's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked at the pastor: "In this case, your students may be able to..."

"That's right..." The pastor also nodded: "However, it's just maybe, just being able to count numbers is not enough..."

"I know..." The agricultural officer also nodded, and suddenly asked Wu Qingchen: "Loss, I saw that you have a cow and two goats in your house last night. Do you normally go to herd them?"

"Yes, before my father didn't let me work in the farmland, I often took them to graze."

"Do you think they are obedient?"

"Very obedient."

"Is it hard to take care of the animals?"

"It's easy."

"Where do you usually take your animals?"

Compared with the time of counting in the quiz, at this moment, when Barres asked, his tone was much more serious, and his expression was unknowingly focused several times.
