Chapter 22 The village school is deserted
The village school is not as lively and noisy as Li Su imagined, in fact, the village school is very deserted, which is much to Li Su's surprise, and probably to the surprise of Princess Dongyang.
People in this era are eager for knowledge and learning, the Tang Dynasty has been established for less than 20 years, and now it is the period of a hundred ruins to be revived, the trauma brought by the war to the world is not only the decline of population, but also the destruction of civilization and books, and the discontinuation of knowledge inheritance.
The people are eager for knowledge, but when Li Su entered the village school, he only saw a few people, and less than ten children were sent to the village by the villagers.
It's a very strange phenomenon, and Li Su can't figure it out.
A slightly dilapidated wooden house, which is regularly placed with more than 50 tables and chairs, standing in front of the door of the teacher is a middle-aged man, after introducing himself, I know that his surname is Guo, the name is not good, the word "驽" means bad horse, the horse that can't walk fast, and the Guanzhong dialect is called "not awake".
Mr. Guo is in his thirties, a little obese, but most of his hair has been bald by the middle age, and the remaining little hair is combed up and pulled up into a soft bun, which looks like the Japanese in the shogunate period...... No, like a Japanese samurai.
Guo Yu is a very kind person, the smile on his face when he stands at the door to greet the children, and sometimes grabs two children who are running around and refuses to settle down, chatting with them, and asking about the situation at home.
It wasn't until much later that he found that there were only less than ten children sent to the village by the villagers, and Guo Yu's smile gradually became a little reluctant.
Li Sudu is secretly anxious about Mr. Guo, and the enrollment situation is not ideal......
After a while, the light at the door dimmed, and an iron tower-like figure blocked the door solidly, Li Su looked up and almost laughed.
Wang Zhu had a musty face, with a few bruises on his face, and walked in reluctantly with his head drooped.
Seeing Li Su here, Wang Zhuan's unsparkling eyes finally lit up, and he ran to Li Su in three or two steps, and with a big hand, the unlucky child sitting next to Li Su flew out.
"You're here too? Haha, finally not boring. Wang Zhu was very happy.
Li Su looked at his face and said with a smile: "Why do you look like this?" Who beat me up? ”
Wang Zhu instantly changed color, snorted angrily, and said, "Except for my father, who in the village dares to beat me?" ”
"Why did you beat you?"
"Dad said, our three children, this year is good, there should be a good harvest, one of the three children can choose to go to the village to study, the family can afford it. You also know, where am I the material for reading, the fourth child in the family is still young, so I pushed hard to give it to the second child, and the second child is not the material for reading, so I pushed it to me, we pushed it back and forth, and then ...... Fights began. ”
The story is very interesting, and the bored Li Su finally raised his interest: "What happened later? ”
"Later, my father made a move, beat me and the second child, the second child was ruthless, lying on the wellhead of my house, saying that he dared to ask him to read, he jumped into the well, my father had to let me come......" Wang Zhuan's tone was full of loneliness and remorse, and gritted his teeth hatefully: "Dog/day, I was also ready to seize the wellhead at that time, and he took the lead, so miscellaneous/broken!" ”
Li Su really wanted to kindly explain to him what genetic inheritance is, after all, scolding his own mother's brother "dog/day" and "miscellaneous/broken" is also very unfavorable to him, and he is not filial, it is really possible to throw him into the well when his father hears it, anyway, there are many children in the Wang family, and eliminating one who is not awake is a good thing for the Wang family's race optimization of the century-old plan.
However, thinking that this guy had ruined the toothbrush he had worked so hard to make, Li Su decided not to remind him, and asking his father to throw him into the well was more in line with Li Su's mood of directly reporting his grievances.
*****************************************************
There are less than ten students, and Mr. Guo can't help it, and he and Li Su now understand why there are so few students.
The village is too poor, it is not easy to support a reader, the village is in his early tens, he has to help the family do farm work, once the baby at home reads, there will not be many opportunities to do farm work in the future, and it is not easy to support the reader, you may wish to use a wooden stick to practice on the sand when you recognize words, you will read more books in the future, read deep, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, all kinds of books have to spend money to buy, today's paper and ink are not cheap, not ordinary households can afford it, simply put, Sending children to school is equivalent to raising an extra rice worm at home that eats and does not work, and this rice worm also hurts money.
Therefore, the children sent to the village school today are basically brothers in the family, of course, Li Su is an exception, he is because he has a willful father who has just had money.
…………
Mr. Guo is a very responsible person, with a kind face, but he is meticulous when teaching, and he teaches very seriously no matter how few students there are.
The first lesson is literacy, which is also a lesson that Li Su feels necessary to learn, - yes, Li Su has to recognize words, because in this era, all traditional characters are written, and Li Su can only write simplified characters, and if he wants to integrate into the life of Zhenguannian and gradually become familiar with this strange world, literacy is essential.
The content of the teaching class is very boring, there is no Chinese pinyin, and there is no children's rhyme or anything that integrates teaching and entertainment, Mr. Guo's first lesson is the Liang Dynasty scattered horses in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the "Thousand Character Text" compiled by Zhou Xingsi in the matter, which is the famous "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, the universe is desolate, and the sun and the moon are shining."
, Chensu Lie Zhang ......"
It's catchy to read, but the meaning inside is very obscure.
Li Sunai read more than a dozen sentences with his patience, and then began to be drowsy......
I wasn't a good student in my previous life, and I'm not a good student in this life, I want to cheer up and prove that I'm not a scumbag who can't support the wall, but ...... I really want to sleep......
Wang Zhuan's appearance was even more unbearable, he even snored, and was finally sobered up after being drunk by Mr. Guo with a ring ruler.
Li Su was very close to him, Wang Zhu raised his butt and quietly moved over, and said, "Li Su, when I get out of school, help me beat people." ”
"Not available." Li Su's answer was very cold.
"Is it a brother? Look at it, look at it, people beat me in the face, and I'm bruised and swollen ......."
Li Suqi said: "Didn't your father beat the wound on your face?" ”
Wang Zhu recalled for a long time and said, "Didn't I tell you just now? I fought with the second child once in the morning, and then I was beaten by my father once, and then later, Wu Xuan from the same village beat me again, and now I was beaten three times, three times! ”

The editor replied to me that we should respect the facts!
