【Chapter 437】 Faith in the Shed
It is indeed very happy, because the most painful process of learning is omitted. This can be seen from the triumphant smile on Luna's smug face when she touches the ball of light, and she can skillfully say the first law of Krem mechanics.
Qin Song had actually been in a dream, but he didn't show up. The current two spheres of light are only entry-level knowledge, and his task is still very arduous, and he needs to recall what he has learned and summarize it.
In the near future, countless rays of wisdom will flash here, and it will be worthy of being called a temple of wisdom.
"The vastness of the universe and the tiny dust are all formed by the matter that was dispersed when Krem opened up the universe, called particles, and constitute a material world in a thousand forms. There are many interactions between various substances, which are constantly changing. We live in this ever-changing material world. ”
"Section 1, Understanding the Change of Matter. ”
"Water produces water vapor when heated, metal rusts in the supermarket environment, and black stone, wood and firewood burn in the air to emit heat and radiate heat. These phenomena that exist around us are all material changes. ”
"The air on which living things live is also made up of countless invisible substances. One of them is called oxygen...... Oxygen is involved in combustion, which can be experimentally proven to ......"
"Damn, I'm too hard. ”
Qin Song, who was sitting in the office, rubbed his sore wrist and put down the teaching material he had just written, which was also a new subject that was about to start - chemistry.
Qin Song can also be regarded as a science and engineering graduate, but these elementary knowledge is too long, and he can't use it after joining the work, resulting in some waste. Now to pick it up again, sore hands are secondary, and the real headache is a headache.
When I was in school, the textbooks were jointly compiled by countless experts, from shallow to deep, step by step. Qin Song wanted to do their work alone, it was too difficult.
But in order to promote teaching and development, it has to be done.
I barely managed to sort out the principles of oxygen and carbon dioxide, and the time passed in a morning. Qin Song sorted out the manuscript and put it in a drawer, got up and left the office.
"You...... Hello, Your Excellency the Wise. ”
This is a newly built government center in Daotan Town, made of red bricks and plastered with cement. In the corridor, a little girl dressed in a maid's costume, with short light yellow hair, a thin figure, looked a little malnourished, and was cleaning with a broom and dustpan.
Qin Song nodded, in response, and when he was about to pass by her, he suddenly paused.
The little girl looks a little familiar.
Light yellow short hair, maid skirt, thin and weak, wait a while, this is not the sister of the little boy who was whipped by the butler in the small courtyard of Pol Dut, Daotan Town.
What's it called?
The reason for the impression is that she and her brother are twins.
"What's your name?" Qin Song looked her up and down.
The little girl looked very nervous, and the hand holding the broom was a little unaware of where it was, and the thin little face that could vaguely see the cheekbones was full of panic. Since the fire engulfed Portut's mansion, she has lost her shelter and become a homeless with her brother, and finally followed the army to the Blackstone Territory.
Because she had done the work of a maid, she had quick hands and feet and a well-behaved personality, and she was later selected to become a maid and do some simple sprinkler work.
For Qin Song, she has seen it. But he was still a little afraid, there was a special majesty in his strange appearance, coupled with his noble status, which was far from what she a little maid dared to face.
The little girl swallowed, bit her lip tightly, looked at the ground with her eyes, and said in a weak voice: "I, my name is Monica." ”
"Monica. ”
That's right, it's her. Qin Song's tone was as gentle as possible: "Don't be afraid, no one here will hurt you." ”
"Hmm. Monica whispered, "The people here are very nice. ”
Qin Song smiled: "You're not the aboriginal of the Black Stone Collar, are you?"
"Well, I'm from Daotan. ”
"Do you have family?"
"Me, I also have an older brother. Monica's feet rubbed against the ground uneasily: "There is no other family member. ”
"And what about your brother, who also works here?"
"My brother ......" Monica bit her lip tightly, her thin body trembled, "He can't work." ”
"Can't work?" Thinking of the little boy who was tortured by the evil housekeeper, Qin Song felt a trace of sympathy: "What's wrong with him?"
Before he could say ......" words, a string of crystal tears fell and smashed on the ground: "He can't walk, he can't work." ”
"Can't walk?" Qin Song's eyebrows furrowed, although he was whipped the last time he saw him, he didn't look at it as a big deal, could it be that he had suffered misfortune later?
"How did it happen?"
In Monica's eyes, Qin Song was undoubtedly extremely noble, and suddenly saying so many words to her made her nervous and scared, and at the same time thinking of her brother, there was indescribable sadness.
"I was beaten. ”
Needless to say, it must be the evil butler. Seeing Monica's nervous and scared look, Qin Song didn't ask any further, and changed his words: "Can you take me to see your brother?"
Monica was stunned for a moment, quickly raised her head and glanced at Qin Song, and muttered in a low voice: "My work is not finished yet." ”
"Let's leave it here for now. Qin Song smiled: "Don't worry, no one will blame you." ”
Monica didn't understand what Qin Song was going to do, and seemed a little hesitant.
"Qin?"
Liya, who was dressed in a casual dress and long skirt, happened to come out of another office, and saw Qin Song talking to Monica in the corridor, and said hello a little strangely.
"Leah. Qin Song beckoned to her: "You came out just in time." ”
"What happened? Did she offend you?"
Monica trembled, her neck shrank back, and Qin Song hurriedly said, "No, I just have something to ask her." She seemed scared of me, though. ”
"Little girl, you're a recent maid from Blackstone, aren't you?" Leah looked Monica up and down, her maid outfit was old, but cleanly washed.
"Yes, sir. It was Carrick's butler who chose me to come here and take care of the cleaning. ”
"She's an outcast, and she has an older brother. But there seems to be some problems with his legs, and he was beaten. Qin Song explained: "It sounds strange and pitiful, I want to go and see it." ”
If you haven't met it, forget it, since you have met it again, it can be regarded as a kind of fate, and if you can help it, you can help it.
Kindness is a noble quality, and as a well-respected wise man, he has compassion for what happened to an ordinary little girl, which makes Liya feel a little more respect and trust in her heart.
"It's noon, I have some time, let's go together. Leah smiled and stroked Monica's little head, "Do you know who you are looking at? Put the things here first, and we'll accompany you to see your brother. ”
Monica bit her lip, held it for a while, and squeezed out a whispered sentence from between her teeth: "That...... Do you have anything to eat at noon?"
Liya slapped her forehead and couldn't help laughing: "Forget about this, she should also eat in the cafeteria." Don't worry, you won't be hungry, I'll let the cafeteria prepare some for you later. We'll come back and eat again. ”
"Okay, okay. Monica nodded hurriedly, found a corner and neatly arranged the broom and dustpan, and secretly glanced at Qin Song: "I'll take you there." ”
The Blackstone construction team has been expanded several times and now has 400 workers, but it is still not enough. At present, on the periphery of the wharf, an area is planned, and the construction of the government hall and the store-style market is in full swing.
Further along the bunker line, there is a barracks that has not yet been completed. Therefore, Monica and other handymen in charge of chores live in temporary shacks outside the dock, and the conditions are relatively difficult.
Led Qin Song and Liya to a small shack, Monica lifted the worn felt and said softly, "Alan, Alan, I'm back." ”
In the dimly lit, weed-covered space, a scrawny shadow curled up in the hay in an extremely strange posture, lying on its side with its upper body, but the calf part was L-shaped across the chest, as if there were no knees, and the leg was broken in reverse.
His little face was dirty, dusty, thin, and weedy, and only a pair of eyes were half-squinted weakly, as if the sun was too dazzling.
Leah's brows furrowed: "Who is so cruel to beat a child like this?"
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, the little boy named Allen trembled, shrank inward, and covered his face with weeds in his hands.
"It's not just physical damage. Qin Song shook his head and sighed, suddenly regretting a little, if he had saved the two brothers and sisters, maybe there would not have been such a thing as today.
It's a pity that I was in a hurry at that time, and I didn't have the time or energy.
"Little girl, tell me, who beat it? The security of our Black Stone Territory is not so bad, is it?" Although these are all refugees, Leah has repeatedly instructed Eric, who is in charge of public security, to treat everyone equally, and never allow vicious acts such as oppression, beating, and theft.
"Not here. Monica shook her head, her eyes full of bitterness, "It was in the Archon's mansion, that hateful butler." ”
Qin Song bent down into the shack, ignoring Allen's frightened eyes, pulled away the weeds, and pinched his deformed calf with his hand: "It should be an old injury." ”
Luna's Rich Elves are an artifact for healing injuries, but there is a drawback that it has little effect on existing old wounds. Qin Song could feel that the bones below Allen's knees were fixed, it should have been that there had been no healing for a long time, and the bones were shaped like this.
Liya sighed softly, she couldn't bear to see the deformed calves, and involuntarily looked away, but on the other side, she found something strange.
A flat wooden board, very cleanly clean, with a piece of dough on it, which looked like a ration from the cafeteria. In front of the dough, there's a strange thing.
A little man made of mud, very ugly. However, the clay figurine is draped in a white cloth robe with a symbol drawn in black charcoal - eyes and three tentacles.
Emblem of the Temple of the Stars.
"Qin, look. Lia felt a little strange, the handyman who could be chosen, whether he accepted it or not, knew that the belief of the Black Stone Collar was not the Holy Spirit, but the Temple of the Stars, and they had all seen its emblem, after all, the witch's skirt was all on it.
But looking at the clay figures and bread in the shack, it was obvious that this was a way of offering to the gods.
