"So, in the end, Lord Balis not only spared your family's summer service, lent you three ploughing oxen, but also rewarded you with a whole bag of bread? A pocket of real bread? ”

By the stream near the church, the future priest, little Andre, had his mouth wide open, his eyes wide, and he was completely unaware that the clay pot he held in his hands was constantly spilling the stream.

Because he was too young to walk at night, the pastor and the agricultural officer went out in the middle of the night to look for Wu Qingchen to watch the effect of cattle treatment, and did not bring little Andre with him.

The peasant officer and his entourage left, and only little Andre was left alone in the huge church, and the helpless little Andrei had to climb into bed, unable to sleep for a long time, and was always worried that the "cattle control" that he had unintentionally revealed would cause trouble for his hard-earned friends.

In the early morning, when it was almost time for morning prayer, little Andre was about to go out and change the holy water every day, when he happened to meet Wu Qingchen, who had come to the church and was ready to pray.

For some reason, on this day, the pastor did not leave his bedroom as early as usual, and without the priest's serious gaze, little Andre immediately quickly grabbed Wu Qingchen and walked to the stream together, all the way to ask about what happened the night before and after.

Little Andre was relieved to learn that Wu Qingchen's injury had improved greatly, and that the process of treating another injured ploughing cow in front of the priest and the agricultural officer had gone quite smoothly, and that he had finally received a very generous reward.

Naturally, with a sense of envy for certain rewards, and a youthful desire for expression, little Andre began to talk about the deliberations of the farmer and the priest the night before, and the reasons why they had finally decided to go to Wu Qingchen's house.

Of course, at this time, the reckless interjection that originally belonged to the auditor and discussion, when it came out of Andrei's mouth again, it became for the sake of his friends, and after careful consideration, he worked hard to create opportunities, and fought again and again, and finally finally got the opportunity with great difficulty.

"This ...... This...... Andrey, my friend...... Thank you so much......"

----Well, well, it seems that whether it is the earth world or the medieval world, whether it is a modern bureaucrat or an indigenous child, it is a natural skill to take the opportunity to ask for favors.

Holding little Andrei's arm, Wu Qingchen's hands trembled slightly, his lips trembled slightly, full of gratitude, and he almost didn't shed hot tears: "...... By the way, Andre, yesterday's bag of Lord Barris's prize, which was white, soft, and flaked, and the name was real bread? ”

"It's called bread! You idiot! Little Andrei licked his lips.

“…… Listen to the name, is it for food? Can...... But how do you eat it? I won't...... Or...... Otherwise, I'll bring two in the afternoon...... Teach me, okay? ”

"Good!" Little Andrei's voice immediately became much louder, and he soon hesitated slightly: "But...... But you have to sneak over and don't let the pastor see it, because ...... Because...... Because ......"

"Because" for a long time, suddenly, little Andre's eyes lit up instantly: "Because...... Pastors don't like to eat bread! ”

“…… Certain! Certain! Thank you...... Thank you so much......"

Wu Qingchen's hands trembled more obviously, and his lips trembled more intensely.

----You little bunny......

had to deceive children in front of 7 billion people, and then had to be deceived by children in front of 7 billion people, Wu Qingchen can imagine what his image will become.

Little Andre's interjection was indeed an accident, but there was no little Andre who had no intention of interjecting, Wu Qingchen still had his own unintentional leakage, the cow was unintentionally seen, the priest was unintentionally discovered, the agricultural officer had no intention of hearing about it, and so on and so on dozens of "unintentional" that could be chosen independently.

All in all, according to the detailed deduction of the analysis team, and according to the dozens of plans of the staff committee, Wu Qingchen was quite certain that the priests and agricultural officers were looking for themselves to treat the ploughing cattle, which was a 100 percent inevitable, necessary, and inevitable event.

In the course of the conversation, after learning about the initial discussion between the farmer and the priest, and understanding the conflict of interests between the secular and the religious, Wu Qingchen had a deeper understanding of the religious training, and the training team repeatedly mentioned that "religion also often means order and rules";

I also have a deeper understanding of the role that the religion described by the General Staff Committee as being directly rooted in the peasants and whose interests are mostly the same as those of the peasants plays a role in stabilizing the social environment.

"By the way......" As he spoke, holding the clay pot with both hands that had almost spilled half of the stream, little Andre suddenly turned his head, "In that case, Lot, in the next few days, you will have to heal the village's ploughing cattle...... When are you going to start? ”

"When does it start?" Wu Qingchen smiled slightly: "It's already started!" ”

"Already started? What do you mean? Little Andre frowned slightly.

"I started a long time ago and I mean......" Wu Qingchen pointed to the two small wooden bowls placed next to the stone wall at the door of the church, "I have already healed the injuries of three ploughing oxen!" ”

"So fast?"

"It's not very fast, after all, healing is not just a one-time thing......" Wu Qingchen shook his head, "and...... The three ploughing oxen, no need to spend time on the road...... It's close to my house......"

"Not so fast anyway, right? You woke up early? ”

"A little early......"

"Got up before dawn?"

"A little earlier......"

A little earlier means ......

Last night, before falling asleep, standing next to Wu Qingchen's bed, Old William hesitated for a long time, kept tapping on the side, and asked if there were different arrangements for the treatment of cultivated cattle, whether different herbs were needed, and whether there were different treatment methods.

After learning that as long as it was a bleeding and injured cultivator, the general treatment method was similar, and the old William finally asked if he could consider giving priority to solving problems for his three old friends.

These three old friends are naturally William Sr.'s closest neighbors, and the three heads of the family are Richard, Freeman, and Old Hult.

Unfortunately, the cattle of these three families did not escape the accident that happened yesterday, and they all suffered some minor or serious injuries, and if they waited for natural recovery, it would take at least ten days, and you can imagine what a huge impact their lives were.

This was originally Wu Qingchen's plan at the beginning, and Wu Qingchen certainly had no reason to object.

Old William, who had been repeatedly confirmed by Wu Qingchen, finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and ran to the house of three neighbors in the middle of the night.

Soon, Richard, Freeman, Old Hult, and nearly twenty people from three families ran to Wu Qingchen's house, saw the recovery of Wu Qingchen's cattle, and learned about the approval of Wu Qingchen by the agricultural officer and the pastor.

So, "a little earlier" than "before dawn", that is, as soon as he got into bed, Wu Qingchen had to rush to the houses of these three families in the middle of the night to carry out the first treatment for these three unfortunate and lucky farming cows.

Far beyond the medieval world thousands of years of technical means, theoretical level, medical understanding, at the same time, after dozens of top veterinarians hand-in-hand training, the heroic dedication of nearly 200 innocent cattle in the earth world, it is conceivable that, like the previous two treatments, the treatment of the cattle for the family of William's three old friends must also be quite smooth.

After harvesting countless gratitude, or rather, harvesting countless tears and snot, the night was deep, and the wet and sticky Wu Qingchen took a new shower before finally crawling back to the bed again.

"This is really ......" After listening to Wu Qingchen's description, little Andre opened his mouth wide again and widened his eyes: "This is really ...... Is...... It's hard. ”

"Okay......"

At this time, the two had returned to the church, and the clay pot filled with the stream water was also placed next to the altar, and looked at the sundial at the side door of the church. ”

"This ......" also glanced at the sundial, Andrei groaned slightly, and quickly nodded: "I'll take a look." ”

----

Chapel, bedrooms.

Through the cracks in the wooden door, a few rays of early morning sunlight penetrated into the room, obliquely shining into the inside of the room, on the bed made of soft rush grass, the body was stretched, his eyes were closed, and the priest Praia, who was still immersed in sleep, had a soft smile on his face, and he didn't know what beautiful things he dreamed of.

"Tuk ...... Sincere...... Sincere...... Priest...... Teacher ......"

I can't tell if the habitual biological clock played a role, or if the sound of the wooden door being knocked did the trick, and his eyelids fluttered slightly for a few seconds, and Pastor Praia slowly opened his eyes.

The confusion of the few seconds he had just woken up quickly passed, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something in an instant, Praia jerked off the bed and rushed to the stone table on the left side of the bedroom.

Without caring to wipe his dry eyes, he rushed to the stone table, Praia's eyes widened and his head almost directly on the table.

On the stone table, there was a small wooden stick with a slightly black end, a small plate of dried ink, a parchment roll that had been painted to the brim, a few grass stalks, a few leaves, a few thorns, and a stone that looked completely ordinary, but like the previous things, it was secretly brought out of Wu Qingchen's house.

53. Students and Teachers (II)

As you can imagine, last night, the grass stems, leaves, and stones were hidden in the not too wide robe...... There are also a few thorns...... At the same time, he was also very excited, and the agricultural officer, who had been reluctant to leave the church for a long time, continued to perfunctory for a long time, what kind of suffering did Pastor Praia suffer.

It is also conceivable that with a thin stick, a small spatula, and ink that would have to be remade every few moments, and an entire parchment scroll was painted, and what would normally take at least two or three days to complete, for a whole night, Pastor Praia had about no time to close his eyes.

However, at this moment, the expression on Praia's face had nothing to do with "hardship" and "tiredness", holding the scribbled and poorly drawn parchment scroll, and the priest could not hide a smile on his face.

This is the cure for ploughing cattle!

This is a proven and proven way to treat farming cattle!

This is a treatment that can give your family's farming cattle an extra layer of protection!

This is a treatment that will strengthen your position in the family!

I couldn't help but start imagining it again, the smile on Praia's face became stronger and stronger, and at this time, there was another knock on the door.

"Tuk ...... Sincere...... Sincere...... Priest...... Teacher ......"

"Andrey? What's up? ”

"Teacher, morning prayer is coming."

"Got it...... You go and get ready, I'll be over soon. ”

"Okay, teacher."

Outside the door there was the sound of footsteps walking away, and after settling down, Praia opened the wooden cabinet by the wall, put away the sticks, the small spatula and the ink, carefully wrapped the parchment scroll that had been written all night, and took out a pocket, and put away the stalks, leaves, thorns, and stones that lay on the low table.

After doing this, Praia finally pushed the door open.

Walking into the church, Praia looked left and right, the altar and the floor had been cleaned, the holy water had been replaced, and on the left side of the church, Little Los and Little Andre were putting together a chair and arranging it more neatly.

"Okay, let's put it down for now......"

Walking up to the pulpit, Praia pressed his hand and motioned for the students to lower their chairs, "It's almost time, let's pray first." ”

"Pastor......" Wu Qingchen raised his head.

"What's wrong? Lowes? ”

"It's this ......" Wu Qingchen took out the two silver coins found in the bread bag from his robe, "This is what was found in the bread bag, I don't know what to do......

"Silver?" Praia took it and looked at it, and put it on the pulpit casually, "This should be the silver coin dropped by the agricultural officer, put it here first, His Excellency Barres should come over today, and I will hand it over to him when the time comes......"

"Give me what?"

Before Praia could finish speaking, the church darkened slightly, leading three retinues, and the agricultural officer appeared at the door of the church.

"Good day, Lord Barris......" Praia nodded, "You came just in time, come and have a look...... Is this your silver coin? ”

"Huh......" walked to the edge of the pulpit, took the silver coin handed by the priest, Barris involuntarily touched the pocket of his robe, and quickly showed a surprised expression: "That's right, this is my silver coin, what's the matter?" Did I accidentally fall into church yesterday? ”

"No, you have generously given my students, along with your food for two days."

"Ah, I forgot to put it in the bread bag? Was it Los who found the silver coin? Sent it early in the morning? Seeing Praia nodding non-stop, Baris looked at Wu Qingchen and smiled slightly: "It turns out ...... In addition to being smart, you are also very honest in Los Angeles. ”

"It's yours, sir." Wu Qingchen hurriedly bowed.

"Well...... He was still very humble...... "I can see that compared with yesterday, the agricultural officer is in a much better mood."

"Alright, Lord Barris, please stop your compliments for a moment, the morning prayer is about to begin, and perhaps you should find a place to sit down."

"Yes, Lord Praia."

As a result, the rows of seats in the church finally got a precious opportunity to express themselves, welcoming a long-lost audience that could sit down during prayer.

Obviously, such an audience is undoubtedly familiar with the process of prayer.

Sitting on the seat, Barres touched his shoulder with his right hand, and as little Andre gently tapped the chime, the farmer immediately performed a sacrament with a graceful posture, and then folded his hands together, lowered his head slightly, and remained solemn and silent throughout the ten minutes of the morning prayer.

At the end of the morning prayer, Praia began to teach the day's lesson, and Barris, who was still watching, was still quiet, but the expression on his face gradually became suspicious as the lecture progressed, and he even let out a surprised "huh" when the lecture was about to end.

"What's wrong? H.E. Barres ......"

"I'm sorry to bother you......" Barris bowed his head in apologies, "please continue." ”

"It's okay, just say it."

"That's ......" Barris frowned, "If I'm not mistaken, you seem to be teaching your students how to add numbers?" ”

"Of course, you're an agricultural officer, and that's your expertise."

"If I'm not mistaken, Andre and Los seem to be only thirteen or fourteen years old?"

"That's right."

"In that case...... At such a young age, you began to learn such difficult content......" The agricultural officer frowned deeply: "...... Isn't it...... Isn't it...... Maybe...... Maybe it's too ...... Too...... It's ......"

"Maybe it's outrageous?"

"No, maybe it's too early." Barris shook his head, and put it mildly.

"It's too early...... Praia couldn't help but smile wryly, knowing Balris's thoughts very well.

At first, when it was found that Little Rose and Little Andre had mastered counting from one to fifty in only ten days, and then from one to one hundred in only five days, during the full half a month of teaching, Praiadu's expressions were exactly the same as those of the agricultural officer at this time.

This is indeed a very impressive speed.

After all, the educational methods of the medieval world were quite backward, and there was no concept of "educational methods" at all, and the inheritance of knowledge was still stuck in the mode of apprenticeship education, and a priest might only teach one or two students throughout his life, and there was no accumulation of experience or method summary at all, and the way of teaching could only rely on intuition, and the only experience was a vague memory of his own study more than ten years ago or even decades ago.

It is conceivable that even if it is the earth world, if a student who has just entered the school is thrown into no school, no classroom, no classmates, no textbooks, no homework, and the vast majority of the objects he comes into contact with are all completely illiterate, and the only source of knowledge is only a semi-literate teacher, who has no teaching experience at all, and has not received any teaching education, and at the same time only educates for ten minutes a day, if he can master the high-end technology from one to one hundred in only five days, everyone has to call him a genius sincerely.

Although Praia felt that Wu Qingchen and Little Andre were learning arithmetic too fast, he was not too shocked because he did not have any comparison objects and his memory when he studied was too long.

In any case, it's never a bad thing to learn quickly.

"Is it early or ......not early" While recalling for a moment, Praia beckoned and motioned for Wu Qingchen and Little Andre to get up and stand in front of the agricultural officer: "Your Excellency Barris, maybe you should ask yourself." ”

"Oh?" Barres turned his gaze to the two students in front of him and began to ask directly: "There are fifteen seats on the left and thirteen seats on the right, how many seats are there in total?" ”

"Fifteen...... A baker's dozen...... Fifteen...... Thirteen ......" Little Andre looked up at the roof, and after a while, he finally replied: "Twenty-eight, there are twenty-eight seats in total." ”

"Twenty-one on the left, fifteen on the right?"

“…… Thirty-six. ”

"Twenty-seven on the left, nineteen on the right?"

"Three...... Three...... Or thirty-six? ”

"Hah......" Barris laughed.

Praia looked a little embarrassed, "After all, I've only studied for five or six days." ”

"Yes, it's already good." Barris nodded, and his gaze shifted to Wu Qingchen, "Twenty-seven on the left, nineteen on the right." ”

"Forty-six."

"Fifteen on the left, sixteen on the right."

"Thirty-one."

"Thirty-seven on the left, forty-five on the right."

"Eighty-four."

"Answer so quickly? And it's all quite accurate...... Hey? In this case, perhaps, Los you can ......"

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Barris's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly looked at the priest: "In this case, your students may be able to ......"

"That's right......" The priest nodded, "However, it's just maybe, it's not enough to count the numbers......"

"I know......" The agricultural officer also nodded, and suddenly asked Wu Qingchen: "Rose, I saw a cow and two goats in your house last night, do you usually go to herd them?" ”

"Yes, when my father didn't let me work in the fields, I used to take them to graze."

"Do you think they're obedient?"

"Quite obedient."

"Is it hard to take care of the animals?"

"It's effortless."

"Where do you usually take your livestock?"

Compared with when he asked about counting, at this moment, when Barris asked, his tone was much more serious, and his expression was unconsciously focused several times.
