Chapter 8: Tranquility

"It looks okay, but it's a little thinner."

"Hmm. If it's higher, it's perfect. ”

"I think no matter how dark it is, the black spot is healthy."

"Oops! Wake up, wake up, wake up......"

It has been the fifteenth day since Qiu Guo came to Ning'an Village, and he is woken up by such conversations almost every day.

He reluctantly got out of bed and looked at the uninvited guest in front of him. "Auntie, why are you here again."

"Aunt Qi, your daughter made it clear that she doesn't think about marriage."

"Aunt Li, your daughter is only twelve years old, why are you in a hurry?"

"Aunt Wang, you have a son in your family, what kind of mess are you doing here?"

Qiu Guo rushed and sent a group of old ladies out of his room.

It is a small village with a population of less than 100 people, surrounded by mountains on three sides and dense forests on the other. The so-called partial peace, there is no mark on the map. Life here is very comfortable, because of the terrain, monsters are not spared, and bad guys are hard to find. The existing land is just enough to be self-sufficient.

The people of Ning'an Village are simple and hospitable, and compared to the outside concept of deception and money first, this is simply a paradise.

Qiuguo was able to come here, although it is not "through a thousand difficulties", but it has also wasted a lot of effort. But compared to the comfortable life afterwards, it was all worth it.

As soon as Qiu Guo finished washing, a little girl who had not dried up pushed the door in. Directly pulled Qiu Guo's sleeve, and said in a milky voice: "Teacher Qiu, grandpa asked me to call you to dinner." ”

In other words, since Qiuguo chose to settle here, he had to find an errand to do. You can't count on the hospitality of the villagers, and you can't wait to die every day.

In Ning'an Village, there was originally a classroom, but with the death of Mr. Yang, the only one in the village who could read and write, it was abandoned. Qiuguo is also a junior high school graduate, and he has traveled from south to north, and he has seen a relatively wide range of the world. So at the suggestion of the village chief, Qiu Guo became the principal of the school, and the teacher of all subjects, mainly responsible for teaching several children in the village to read and write. These children have too many age differences, from young to sensible to almost adulthood, but the foundation is zero. Qiu Guo is also a first-time teacher, and he has little experience, teaching mathematics in the morning and Chinese in the afternoon. Fortunately, the adults in the village are very supportive, although they are not educated, they also understand how learning can make people progress. Whether the village can continue or not, knowledge is an inevitable factor.

Therefore, as long as Qiuguo is in need, the people in the village are rushing to help, and of course, they will also quietly come over to listen in their spare time.

Education is a long way to go. Qiu Guo is serious and responsible, and he must live up to the expectations of the villagers.

Ning'an Village, a small village with less than 100 people, can continue to this day, and there must be something special about it.

Resource sharing is one of them.

The whole village is like a factory, and each person has different responsibilities, such as farming, hunting, or coal mining, and everyone is assigned and managed by the village committee.

In order to save resources, the village has a canteen and eats rice in a large pot.

Qiu Guo was dragged by the little girl to the cafeteria for breakfast, and as soon as he appeared, he immediately gained everyone's attention.

"Teacher Qiu, it's early." Hunter Lao Zhang greeted Qiuguo.

"Morning. Brother Zhang. Qiu Guo hurriedly responded with a smile.

"Good morning, Mr. Qiu." Wang Tianci, a miner, stood up and said that he went to listen whenever he had free time, and he respected Qiuguo very much.

"Good morning, God." Qiu Guo was also very impressed with him, "I haven't seen you for two days, have you been busy lately?" Will the name be written? ”

"Hehe, I can't write the last word yet." Wang Tianci scratched his hair and said with a smile.

"Practice slowly, you can."

"Teacher Qiu, eat an egg." Aunt Liu left the table and stuffed the egg into Qiuguo's hand, her daughter was Qiuguo's student.

Qiu Guo hurriedly refused, "The child is still growing his body, give it to the child." "Except for the main food and some vegetarian dishes, the rest of the canteen is distributed in fixed amounts. Like eggs, each person is only given one every three days.

"The child has it, the child has it." Aunt Liu was afraid that the autumn fruits would not be harvested, so she left the canteen before she was full.

When the villagers saw Aunt Liu's approach, the canteen quickly became a pot of porridge, scrambling to deliver eggs to Qiuguo. Needless to say, if you have children, you will definitely have children in the future.

Moreover, in addition to being a teacher, Qiuguo also has a profession, that is, a doctor.

As a bounty hunter, it is not uncommon for Qiu Guo to get injured and sick in the wild. In the absence of a hospital, most of them are self-medicated and self-helped, and the more experience they have accumulated, they will become half a doctor. Some wind chills, headaches, brain fever, wound treatment, basic first aid, and autumn fruits can be dealt with.

In the blink of an eye, most of the people in the cafeteria left, and Qiu Guo was holding nearly twenty eggs.

It's too enthusiastic, and it's a distressing thing.

"Punching sex!" A sturdy young man scolded in a low voice.

"Wow, it's so enviable, I want to have this kind of treatment too." His friend Li Gangdan, looking at Qiu Guo and saying with longing.

"I can write a few words, what's the use!" The sturdy young man sneered, "Before being eaten by monsters, I asked you if you were a cultural person?" ”

"You're jealous." Li Gangdan glanced at the man and sneered, "But people are liked if they are educated, Sister Yutong, I have been to listen to classes several times, and besides, this guy is not bad, you have to pay attention to it." ”

"I don't believe it, I'm the captain of the guard, and I'm not as good as this little white face."

"Hey, Xu Yan, can your name be written?" Li Gangdan asked with a toothpick in his mouth.

"Get out."

Qiuguo sat next to the village chief and put the eggs in the steamed bun basket, very helpless.

"Take it." The old village chief with kind eyebrows smiled and said, "It's all their hearts." ”

"It's a shame." Qiuguo beckoned to his students, "Blessings, Ruyi, you give this egg to your friends to eat." ”

"Thank you, teacher." The two children were very polite, and the village chief kept smiling happily, they were the future of the village and the hope of the village. If you don't have culture, you can still survive, but if you have culture, you must live a better life than people who don't have culture.

After breakfast, Qiuguo took a group of children back to the classroom. Today, the adults have nothing to do, so they came early to audit, and the small classroom is not well enclosed.

Soon it was time to break, and Qiuguo sat at the door of the classroom, watching the children play to their heart's content. It's true that the older you get, the more troubles you have, and the younger you get, the more carefree you are.

"You know a lot." Listening to Qiuguo give a lesson, Li Yutong said with emotion.

"Really?" Qiu Guo smiled, and he handed the other party a stool, "But there is a lot to experience." He was definitely qualified to say that, three years as a bounty hunter was probably more than some people have experienced in a lifetime.

"What is a Bounty Hunter?" Li Yutong once heard him mention it casually.

"A bounty hunter is one who takes people's money and eliminates disasters for others." Qiu Guo didn't know how to explain it.

"The outside world, do you value money?"

Qiu Guo nodded, there is no money in this Ning'an Village, and their work is unpaid. "In the outside world, you can't live without money."

"You've been to a lot of places?"

"Many, many, many."

"Is the outside world big?"

"It used to be big, now it's small."

"Can you tell us about the outside world?" Before you know it, the surrounding area is full of villagers.

Looking at their eager eyes, Qiu Guo smiled, "What do you want to hear?" ”

"We will listen to what you say." A villager shouted.

"yes, okay." Qiu Guo smiled: "Then let's talk about the city outside first." ”

"There are sixteen cities in the world today. They are: three large cities - the New Federation, SAARC, and the Northern Empire. Each of these three large cities has a population of 400,000. ”

"Four hundred thousand!" Someone exclaimed.

"Four hundred thousand, how much?" Someone is not sensitive to numbers.

"We are like a grain of rice, 400,000 yuan, is a sack!" Someone explained.

Qiu Guo's description of them is also very speechless.

"So much!" The man exclaimed.

"Shhhhh

"The five medium-sized cities are Jizhou City, Recovery City, Lechuan City, Jiangcheng and Haigang. These cities are either crowded or geographically important. ”

"In addition, there are eight small cities with populations in the tens of thousands."

"Wow," exclaimed the villagers, "there are so many people out there!" How much food do you need to feed you? ”

Qiuguo is also funny when he listens to it, are there many people? The world's population used to be 10 billion, but now it is only 2 million.

"Teacher Qiu, where are you from?" Someone asked curiously.

"I'm in Jizhou City, which is a medium-sized city with a population of more than 100,000."

"No wonder!" Someone exclaimed, "Teacher Qiu is well-informed and understands a lot, so he originally came from the city." ”

Someone else asked, "Teacher Qiu, is Jizhou City far away from us?" I've heard that it's full of monsters outside, have you ever encountered danger? ”

Qiu Guo was about to answer, but when he saw the village chief in the distance, his brows were tightly locked, and he shook his head slightly to himself. Qiu Guo was a wise man, and he replied, "It's far away, and the road is very dangerous. I risked my life to get here. ”

Everyone sighed again, and some people said that they wanted to see the outside world, but when they heard Qiu Guo say this, they dispelled their thoughts.

They also wanted to hear Qiu Guo continue, Qiu Guo got up and smiled, "It's time for me to go to class." ”

The crowd reluctantly dispersed. Looking at their departing figures, Qiu Guo thought to himself, it was better to be a dumb person.

After a day of class, Qiuguo felt a little hoarse in her throat and coughed several times.

He had eaten dinner and was about to go back to rest, but the village chief stopped him.

He hoped that Qiu Guo would stop talking about the outside world.

Ning'an Village is a whole, there are old and young, and no one can do without it, so it continues to the present.

When someone has a longing for the outside world, someone will definitely choose to leave. The capable are gone, the elderly, children, people who need to be relied on, what will they do? This village may be over.

Qiu Guo hurriedly apologized, saying that he would pay attention to his words and deeds in the future.

The village chief patted Qiuguo on the shoulder with relief.

"What did the village chief's grandfather talk to you about?" As soon as Qiuguo returned to his lodgings, there was a sound in his back.

"You scared me." Qiu Guo clutched his chest in pain.
