The gap between the rich and the poor in this world is so desperate that a family with a hundred gold coins can already be counted as a rich man, but this is also the result of the accumulation of generations of the Reed family. √∟Ordinary people have one gold coin, and they have been worry-free for a long time. For the villagers of Reed Village, it is not difficult for the villagers of Reed Village to give out one hundred gold coins at a time to improve their grandson’s strength. It's less than an experience that subverts the three views.
But in fact, throwing out one hundred gold coins at a time is nothing to a real nobleman. Liang Lidong also didn't find it strange. However, he saw some changes in the expressions of the children, and many of them had an emotion called 'jealousy' in their eyes.
This is not a good sign. Liang Lidong clapped his hands, attracting everyone's emotions to himself. His eyes swept across all the children, and every child who came into contact with his eyes involuntarily lowered his head, and then he said lightly: " This world is unfair, and it has never been fair. Even if everyone is a commoner, some people are born prettier than others, some run faster than others, and some are even much smarter than others, and Some people are born with nothing, no rich family, no special skills, they are so ordinary that they cannot be more ordinary."
These words made the faces of a large group of children dim. Except for Kyle, who can barely be regarded as a descendant of aristocrats, the children here are all commoners, and none of them have any special skills. Liang Lidong's words hit the bottom of their hearts. Where it is weak, it hurts a lot.
"But this is not the reason for you to give up on yourself or even be jealous of others." Liang Lidong said very flatly: "If you think this is unfair, then work hard and seize any opportunity without violating your conscience. You may not be able to become a master in your whole life, but you can study hard, work hard, and accumulate knowledge and wealth a little bit from now on, so that your children have a higher starting point than you, and when they grow up, Tell them these words again, and let them create a higher starting point for their descendants. As long as this accumulation continues from generation to generation, as long as there are no natural disasters, your descendants will one day become the world's people. The aristocrats you admire, the so-called aristocratic families, are actually passed down from generation to generation like this."
Some children understood it, while others half-understood, but no matter who it was, they secretly remembered Liang Lidong's words in their hearts. In fact, Liang Lidong also understands in his heart that chicken soup for the soul is easier said than done, and he probably can't do it himself, let alone these children. But he understands that for these children, these words can more or less affect their outlook on life and values that are about to be formed. As long as there is one child who can carry out his words, then he will be worthy of being a part of this group of children. Our teacher for half a year.
"Okay, today's evangelism will end with introduction." Liang Lidong clapped his hands, and then said: "I told you half a year ago that after teaching you characters, I will teach you combat specialties. Remember, you will not break your promise. Starting tomorrow, you will come to the temple to attend lectures. This is the place of prayer and the place where you will go to school. Do you understand? Well, everyone is dismissed now... Belin, you stay Come down, I have something to tell you."
The children looked at Belin with some envy, and then filed out of the temple.
When there were only two people in the main hall, Liang Lidong said: "Belin, you have made great progress recently. Although you are not as good as the basic requirements to become a priest, I can feel that your spiritual power is cohesive and stable. It seems It's good that you haven't been slacking lately, and that's commendable."
Belin smiled broadly.
"However, the concentration of spiritual power is only one of the basic conditions for becoming a priest. The other condition is that you must understand the teachings of Goddess Wojin. Therefore, I have an idea that you will serve the temple as a temple assistant in the future. I will Pay you a certain salary, um, two silver coins a month. As long as you work in the temple for a long time, you will naturally understand the concept of Goddess Wojin over time. This will be very helpful for you to become a priest in the future. "
For a girl like Belin, the salary of one silver coin a month is too exaggerated. She stammered and said: "Teacher, I am very happy to help the temple. Great."
"Nothing bad or bad. Goddess Wojin pays attention to fair trade. Since you help the temple, you should be paid." Liang Lidong waved his hand: "Go back and tell your family about this. There are many things in the temple. , and you still need to practice meditation and strengthen your mental strength. You don’t have much time. If you don’t have any important things, you should try to do as little farm work as possible in the future... It’s settled, you can go back first.”
Hearing the teacher's eviction order, Belin left with joy and worry. Although it is really nice to be able to work for the temple and continue to accept the teacher's guidance, two silver coins a month is too much money, and their family may not be able to save two silver coins in half a year. Don't do the work of the temple, let the family, let the teacher down.
Contrary to Belin's uneasy mood, Jerry kept thinking about how to be valued more by his teacher on the way home. Belin was kept by the teacher, which shows that Belin, like Kyle who has become a professional, has something special. And for an ordinary child like him, if he wants to be valued by the teacher, he has to work harder to become better, and he has to have a chance to get into the teacher's sight.
He walked briskly for more than an hour, and finally returned to Seri Village. He is not a child of Reed Village, if it is not for the construction of the temple requires too many people, he will definitely not have the opportunity to receive teacher education.
When he got home, he opened the room and saw his mother was sewing clothes at the table, and on the other side, was his sister, who was scooping flour, and seemed to be cooking dinner for the family.
"White noodles? Big brother is back?" Jerry was slightly taken aback. I usually eat black bread at home, but if I can eat white bread, it must be because my eldest brother has returned from other places.
"Yeah, your elder brother is resting in the house, you go in and chat with him. Both of you are half-scholars now, you can chat, your father, me and your sister sometimes don't know your brother What are you talking about, go!"
"Brother?" Jerry pushed open the door on the far right side of the house, and saw a brown young man lying on the bed with his feet crossed. He asked, "When did you come back?"
"Oh, Jerry... at noon." The young man yawned and sat up, his eyes rested on his younger brother, and after a moment of stupefaction, he asked hesitantly: "Brother, you seem to be with me for half a year. A long time ago, there is a big difference... It seems to have become more temperamental."
Jerry was a little happy when he heard this, and he said, "Maybe it's because I learned characters."
"Are you learning characters?" The brunette young man was completely stunned at this moment: "What's going on? Why does your family have so much money for you to learn characters? You're not kidding, are you?"
Jerry sat down and asked, "Why, mother didn't tell you that?"
"I went to bed as soon as I came back. After all, I was very tired from the journey. It seems that she didn't have time to talk! Why don't you tell me what's going on."
"Okay!" Jerry immediately began to tell his elder brother what happened.
After listening to the cause of the incident, the eldest brother had an unbelievable expression, as if he had been constipated for several days: "A spell caster came to Reed Village and recruited villagers to build a temple. The reward was to teach the children to learn words. Only one person can be sent out from each household? He will teach you to learn combat specialties next? With such a good thing, he can’t be a liar.”
Jerry was a little unhappy: "The teacher is the closest person I've ever seen to a saint, brother, be careful."
"But this is really wrong." The elder brother looked completely incomprehensible: "Jerry, you have never been outside, you don't know how much it costs to learn characters outside, and you can count them word by word. We civilian families, even if I lost my family, and I couldn't learn a few characters. If I hadn't become a knight servant, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn characters. Even so, after three years, the master has only taught me more than 160 characters. , but you said that you have mastered more than 500 characters, you are not lying to me, how can there be such a good thing in this world. More than 500 characters."
"Besides, I'm outside, and I've never heard of the goddess Woking!" The eldest brother continued to frown, "Isn't it some kind of evil god? She also teaches characters and combat skills, and it's still barely enough, you teacher. , Maybe some big conspiracy is being planned.”
"Brother, you are not allowed to slander the teacher like this." Jerry stood up suddenly, his face was full of anger: "The teacher is sincerely for everyone's benefit, besides, what's the use of him lying to us? We poor people have no There is nothing worth caring about for others.”
"I'm sorry brother, I was just talking nonsense just now, don't be so excited."
"Hmph, if you have the chance to meet the teacher, you will know how good he is."
The eldest brother smiled and said: "Well, I will go to see your teacher tomorrow. Hearing you say that he is so good, my curiosity has been hooked."
Jerry breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, since you're back, brother, tell me something about the noble manor."
OK! The elder brother stroked his younger brother's hair with a doting look on his face. He decided to find out about Mr. Jerry tomorrow. If the other party has dirty records, or if there is something wrong, he doesn't mind secretly finding a time to get rid of the other party in silence. will not appear in this world.
