"Shut up, don't you think there's enough to do?" the old man glared at the northeastern man and said angrily.
He also saw that Zhang Tianyuan was pretending to be there, but the problem was that they couldn't make trouble now, and once they made trouble, they wouldn't be able to stay here.
"Great oracle, he, my son will not be in any danger, will he?"
It is natural for a father to love his son, not to mention that Jisang values his son very much, and thinks that his son can become his heir, and he does not want to do anything earth-shattering, the key is to support his family and pass on the lineage.
My son can at least become a good hunter in the future.
"Don't worry, it's just a small problem, the evil curse has been dispelled by me, so let's get some herbs for him to take according to this recipe, and in less than one night, it is estimated that the situation will be much better." The child is still too weak, and he will have to make up for it in the future, so that the evil spirit will not be able to get close. ”
Zhang Tianyuan felt like a swaggering and deceitful magic stick, but he said this for the good of this child, so he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.
After Jisan heard this, he fell to his knees with a "plop" again, saying all kinds of words of thanks, but he was a little incoherent. Zhang Tianyuan can understand this situation, he thought that his son was not saved, but now he has been rescued, and anyone who changes it will be very grateful to this rescuer, this is not a shameful thing.
In order to let the child rest well and recuperate with peace of mind, Zhang Tianyuan asked everyone to retreat, the child's mother had already gone to boil medicine, and there were actually all kinds of herbs at home, but the problem was that they didn't dare to eat indiscriminately, and there were many people who were poisoned to death without a prescription.
Yayi's side has taken care of the matter, and the explorers are allowed to stay here for the time being, but it's best to leave as soon as they recover, otherwise. When the Eagle King Zhai sent someone over, at that time the mouth was useless, and he could only speak with the stick and weapon.
Zhang Tianyuan sat there and rested for a while, chatting with Ji Sang. asked about Jisang's son, and then wrote down the child's name and birthday.
"Hee-hee, it feels like you're a fortune teller right now. Liu Ruohan said with a smile on the side.
Zhang Tianyuan sighed, this is also a matter of no choice, he has the heavy responsibility of choosing this Eagle King of Snow Eagle Village on his shoulders. You really can't come nonsense, you have to be responsible for the people here, choose a second product who doesn't understand fart, and then the people of this village will be finished.
He didn't want to be able to help him here, but at least he couldn't ruin this place, and he also had to find someone who could be close to him and listen to him, after all, he would open the secret place to study the ruins of the Ancient Kingdom of the Condor and the Bafang Tower, if he found someone who was against him, it would obviously be very unwise.
Actually, that's it. The scope has narrowed down a lot.
Zhang Tianyuan never believed that a child under the age of ten could be a good Eagle King, he would rather set this age older, at least over fourteen.
Of course, if the child is precocious, then the age can be lowered appropriately.
Because of the poverty of Snow Eagle Village, the children are in charge of the family relatively early, and the sixteen-year-old child is probably more sensible and more ** than the people in their thirties outside, so this age is still okay.
So he simply asked Yayi, just these dozen families. There are several children between the ages of fourteen and sixteen, so that the scope of the investigation can be narrowed down, otherwise, one by one. That's a lot of work.
"Divine messenger, according to the results of our investigation, there are only eighteen families here, and only five children between the ages of fourteen and sixteen. Yayi replied: "This survey data is up-to-date and should be relatively accurate." ”
"How can there be so few? Eighteen families, only five children between the ages of fourteen and sixteen? Oh my God. Zhang Tianyuan felt a little incredible.
"It can't be helped. You also know that this is the situation here, the environment is very bad, the mortality rate is very high, there are many children born, but many of them have died, and they can grow up to fourteen or fifteen years old, they are all very remarkable people, alas, at the age of me and Jisang, in fact, it is considered a high life expectancy in this village, and there are only three or four people in our village who are about fifty years old. Yayi sighed.
"How is this possible!"
"Nothing is impossible, I've studied this. There were similar places in previous history. Li Mingguang said suddenly: "Diseases, disasters, malnutrition, sudden accidents, etc., all make people here live less than sixty, and it is estimated that the average age here is more than thirty. ”
Hearing Li Mingguang's explanation, Zhang Tianyuan sighed helplessly, although he didn't want to admit it, maybe this was the reality. This is the case in backward places, and how long you can live depends on God.
"This old gentleman is right, all of us who are over fifty years old here already belong to the Venerable One, and they are treated as very honorable people. Yayi replied.
Zhang Tianyuan has never been so eager for modern technology as he is now, if there were hospitals here and some modern equipment to facilitate life, maybe the average life expectancy here would be much higher. In this day and age, the average life expectancy in the thirties is incredible.
"Little one, what are you doing there, come here, we're going somewhere else. ”
Zhang Tianyuan noticed that Baili Night Cry was still standing next to Jisang's child's bed, and touched the animal skin quilt with his claws from time to time, and he didn't know what Baili Night Cry was doing, so he shouted.
He didn't think much about it, Baili Night Cry was close to Jisang's son, which must have something to do with his use of earth qi on Jisang's son, so he didn't think about it elsewhere.
Baili Ye flew over, and then stood on Zhang Tianyuan's shoulder, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking, this little guy is very smart.
If it bows its head and doesn't say anything, it must be thinking about something.
Zhang Tianyuan touched the little guy's head, and didn't bother it again, but looked at Yayi and asked, "Are you children in Xueying Village studying? This place is so remote, if there is really a school, it's not easy to get there, right?"
"What do you do when you read?" asked Gisan, tilting his head.
Zhang Tianyuan was stopped by his question, and he didn't know what he meant, so he specially explained: "Reading is to learn literacy, learning hunting and living skills, after learning well, you can do better." ”
"I've never heard of such a thing, our skills here are passed down from generation to generation, and the writing is also taught to children by parents, most of them can't write, they can only speak. Yaichi replied with a shake of his head.
This time, it was Li Mingguang who solved Zhang Tianyuan's confusion.
"In fact, the existence of the school is the product of the satisfaction of material conditions. You see that it was the same in ancient times, most of the people who could go to private schools or schools were the children of rich families, and if they didn't have money, they couldn't finish their work at home, so who would go to school. Zhu Yuanzhang, you may be familiar with it, he was born in poverty, and he has never studied, so he, the emperor, is always afraid that others will rob him of the throne, and his methods of treating heroes are more cruel. People here can't even meet their material needs, and even eating and drinking are problems, so where do they still have the heart to go to school. ”
In the end, he is a university scholar, and he knows more than Zhang Tianyuan, which makes Zhang Tianyuan really glad that he didn't throw Li Mingguang at the checkpoint, otherwise, he would have a headache for himself with many problems.
"Alas, it would be nice if the children were outside, even in poor places, they could enjoy nine-year compulsory education. And there are also many philanthropists who are willing to donate money to the children, give food, and give clothes. But in this place, no matter how much money I give, it's just a piece of waste paper to them. Zhang Tianyuan sighed, the more he came into contact with and the more he understood, the more painful he felt about being cut off from the outside world.
The reason why literati and dare to choose seclusion is because people have long been cultural people, and as long as they have books, they are not afraid of boredom.
Of course, if you are sick, it is still troublesome, so the so-called seclusion of many rich people is actually quite ridiculous, because there will always be a private doctor at home, and the richer you are, the more afraid you are of death.
"Yes, if you have money, you have to have a place to spend it, and the children here may know how to work, marry a wife, inherit the lineage, and work all their lives, and so on, and they don't even know how to enjoy it. Songtsen Depu also sighed: "Actually, we used to have a similar village there, and the children started to help the family when they were six or seven years old, and now they are much better." ”
Speaking of this, it touched Zhang Tianyuan's heartstrings, thinking that at the beginning, his family was also very poor, at that time, the steamed buns he ate were as black as carbon, and the clothes he wore were also patches and patches, and he never dared to buy clothes, they were all made by his mother, a dress was worn for several years, and he couldn't wear it himself, and when he was small, he gave it to his sister, and his sister couldn't wear it anymore, so he was reluctant to throw it away, so he cut it and made it into cloth shoes with a thousand layers, which was never wasted anyway.
At that time, when I was hungry at school, I just had a steamed bun, and then drank some boiled water, and then my life was a little better, I had pickles to eat, and I felt that it was delicious in the world, and then I could afford to eat spicy seeds and meat, but Zhang Tianyuan remembered the life during that time, and it is estimated that I will never forget it in this life.
But even then, their parents were willing to provide for their education.
Because we all know that only by going to school can we change our lives and change our future, otherwise we can only dig in the ground for the rest of our lives.
He didn't think that helping the family herd sheep at the age of six or seven would hinder his learning, you must know that he also came over like that, the first thing he did when he came home from school was to herd the sheep, and then sat on the stone with a schoolbag on his back to do his homework.
