Aslan sat at home, drinking sullen wine and not saying a word. In front of him stood a man, a nervous Alex. The left side of the little guy's face was swollen and tall, and a large slap mark was left on it. The noise of the village uphill can even be heard here, Freya's screams, and little Jessica's cries.

"Little Jessica, what do you have to tell the second uncle about them?" Aslan asked, as he drank his drink.

Alex lowered his head and said, "I just said it casually, I didn't expect the second uncle to react so much." ”

"Casually?" Aslan's eyes were full of anger: "Now you dare to lie to me, come here." ”

Alex seemed to struggle for a moment before slowly stepping forward. 'Pop', a crisp sound sounded in the room, Alex staggered back against his right cheek, Aslan's strength was so great, he felt half of his head be blindfolded, and his eyes were full of whirling stars.

"Tell me what you're thinking."

The corners of Alex's mouth began to bleed, and he didn't dare to wipe it: "Actually...... I don't like Jessica, and I wish I was the only one in the village who could learn words and learn arithmetic with the teacher. I don't want anyone else to share that honor with me. Father, I know that this is not right, but this is what I think, and I can't help but do it. ”

Aslan sighed: "It's normal for you to have such thoughts, no one wants to share knowledge with outsiders, except for some good people, for example, your two teachers. However, you are a little wrong, do you know what is wrong? ”

"Shouldn't I tell the second uncle about Jessica?"

Aslan shook his head: "No, you are wrong that you should not question the teacher's decision. No matter who he wants to take in as his student, it is his freedom. You can't sabotage it because of your own dislike and dissatisfaction. On the surface, you are making a mistake, but in reality, your mistake is 'not to be a fool'. ”

Alex was silent, and it was a big crime. Aslan continued: "Fortunately, now your teacher doesn't know that you did it on purpose, and he shouldn't know about it in the future, because he is a kind person and won't casually and maliciously speculate on others. Child, the sun god said that good people often suffer, but good people can eventually go to heaven, while people with malicious intentions, even if they get countless benefits, can only go to hell in the end. In the future, you have to remember this sentence all the time, not only to learn knowledge, but also to learn the character of Teacher Xiao Song, understand? ”

Alex nodded repeatedly.

"As for the second uncle, they." Aslan raised his head slightly, as if his eyes could pass through the house and see the situation on the slope of the village: "What is the idea of the second uncle, I probably know that Teacher Xiao Song is indeed kind, but this does not mean that he is weak and can be bullied, one is the identity of the soul contemplative, on the other hand, he is just an ordinary mercenary, and there are villagers, the second uncle is really confused this time." It's a pity that my people can't overpower the second uncle, otherwise I would never let such a thing happen. Aslan clenched his fists tightly.

Chen Xiansong rushed down from the upstairs in his pajamas, he saw Freya and Jessica in the crowd, and hurriedly asked the people next to him, "What happened?" ”

Bai Min still looked cold, and Balf replied: "These people came in the morning, saying that they wanted to give the master an explanation, hehe, I don't think it's an explanation to the master, but I hope the master will give them an explanation." Master, these people have shown bad intentions, whether to expel them by force. ”

"Don't worry, ask what beforehand."

Chen Xiansong took two steps forward, and at this time, Bai Min pointed at him, and a transparent cover shrouded him. 'Energy Force Field'? Chen Xiansong poked it inside with his fingers, which was soft and slightly elastic. There was something similar in the New Humans period, but it was extremely power-intensive, and it was generally used for the defense of large machines, such as the previous spaceship that was not completed and later crashed.

But now was not the time to do that, and he asked the crowd in front of him, "What happened, and did anyone explain the situation to me?" In any case, it is not appropriate to treat women and children like this, let them go first, and then heal their wounds. ”

Chen Xiansong walked over and was about to help Freya and her daughter up, when an old man came out, stopped him, and said: "Your Excellency, we are doing this to maintain thousands of years of tradition, and I hope that Your Excellency can also act according to the tradition, so as not to make everyone feel cold, let alone destroy the code of conduct and pride that our Kate Kingdom has always had." ”,

"Tradition, what tradition." Chen Xiansong vaguely guessed, but he still asked more.

"Whoever steals words without permission will die!" The rickety old man's face was kind, but his words were murderous.

Education in the new human era is to have common ground while reserving differences, and if there are different opinions, everyone sits down and discusses slowly, trying to find a mutually acceptable approach. Chen Xiansong also inherited this advantage, although he felt that such a rule was very bloody, but he did not intend to directly other people's rules of conduct and beliefs, he thought about it and said, "But Jessica is already my student, so there should be no problem." ”

"Your Excellency, Jessica seems to have only become your student yesterday." The old man said slowly, "But we learned that she had begun to secretly use her ability to spy on Alex's text study and practice. ”

Chen Xiansong felt that this old man was really stubborn: "So, I am the person concerned, as the teacher, I have forgiven her, you can let them go." ”

"But they are from our village, and I can't allow anything to ruin the reputation of our village." The old man lowered his head and seemed to be very respectful, but he couldn't see his expression in this way: "So, please also ask Your Excellency to make a fair decision." ”

Chen Xiansong was about to speak again, when Barf came up and said next to him: "Master, please wait a few minutes, can you go back to the room, there are some things to say, very important things." ”

Now that 'human lives are at stake', Chen Xiansong feels that nothing can be more serious. But Balff had always been cautious, and he felt that perhaps he should indeed hear it. Then he said, "Xiaomin, protect Freya and Jessica, and wait for me to come back later." ”

Bai Min nodded, and pointed at the mother and daughter in the crowd. The two were encased in the same transparent cover as Chen Xiansong.

In the room, Balf whispered, "Master, the old man, is actually persecuting you. ”

"Persecute me?" Chen Xiansong has always grown up under the care of new humans, in terms of knowledge and erudition, in this world, only Bai Min can be higher than him, but if it is about people's hearts, even if he is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, he is stronger than him and Bai Min. Hearing Balve's words, he was a little puzzled: "They are obviously persecuting Freya and Jessica. ”

Balf knew that his master was very kind, and he admired the master with such a character, so he explained patiently: "That old man, on the surface, wants the protagonist to punish the two villagers, but in fact, he may have seen the kindness of the master, thought that the master was weak and could be bullied, and wanted to benefit from the master's kindness to achieve something he wanted to do." ”

Hearing this, Chen Xiansong couldn't believe it: "He won't be so insidious." ”

"I don't know what the old man wants to get, but the master might as well follow his words, maybe he will know the way." In fact, Barff knew what the old man was thinking, but he understood that his subordinates could be smart, but not too smart. Most of the superiors have such a problem, and they can't see that their subordinates are more powerful than themselves. His master is very kind, and it is precisely because of this that Balf wants to take care of his master's face even more.

Chen Xiansong is not a stupid person, of course, compared to the new humans, there is a gap in intelligence, but in the post-humans, he can be regarded as a high-IQ person, what he lacks is only time and experience. After standing and thinking for a moment, he did begin to feel that the old man's behavior seemed strange.

Outside, he began to look at the gathered villagers, and found that most of them were sturdy men, but of course there were also women, and they were all standing on the periphery. Some of the men in these inner circles are very familiar, as if they are all from the mercenary group, and there seems to be a strange look in their eyes.

Chen Xiansong felt more and more that Balf's words should be right, he walked over and helped Freya up, who was frightened: "Old man, what do you want to do with them?" "Because Freya also has a transparent mask applied by Bai Min, the two of them can touch each other.

"I just want Your Excellency to punish them in our traditional way and restore the lost honor of our village." When the old man spoke, his head was still lowered, and his expression could not be seen at all.

Chen Xiansong asked, "What if I want them to survive?" ”

"They are our villagers, we didn't look up and look down before, and we didn't want to, but this thing ......",

Chen Xiansong: "There should be a way, you also said it, everyone looks up and doesn't look down, their lonely women and widows are not having a good time, why bother them." ”

"Your Excellency has a point, and we don't want to, but that's how it has been for thousands of years...... If it is known to other villages, as well as people outside the city, what will they think of our village, the insult is light, and maybe they will cut off contact. The old man said in a slow tone.

Chen Xiansong touched his chin: "So serious? Wouldn't it be a problem if you helped hide it? ”

"The servant of the sun god has said, "Do not suffer from poverty, but suffer from inequality. Your Excellency should understand the meaning of this," the old man continued, "Your Excellency chose to shield Jessica after learning the written language, which is a violation of the traditions of our Kingdom of Kate. Since Your Excellency has already destroyed it, why not destroy it completely. ”

"What do you mean...... Would you like me to take in a few more students, preferably your relatives or something? Chen Xiansong said slowly: "In this way, you are willing to help them hide this matter?" ”

The old man did not speak, and the eyes of the surrounding crowd flashed with excitement, and their breathing became noticeably short.

Chen Xiansong understood the other party's thoughts, and his heart was cold, and after a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Old man, do you know the Tao?" In fact, you must use this method at all. When Chen Xiansong helped Freya up just now, he found that she was almost covered with bruises all over her body, and her left wrist seemed to be dislocated.

Jessica Jessica also has some scars on her body. Chen Xiansong felt that there was a flame called anger in his heart gradually burning: "If you come directly to me and say that you want your children to learn words, I will probably teach them, but now...... For the sake of selfish desires, you have done such stupid things......"

The old man raised his head suddenly, and he subconsciously felt that things seemed to be a little out of his plan: "Your Excellency, what do you mean by this?" ”

Chen Xiansong ignored him, but asked Freya on the side: "I remember myself and the right to recruit the people, Ms. Freya, would you like to leave Graystone Village and become a member of my territory?" ”

Freya was stunned for a moment, and then understood Chen Xiansong's plan, she nodded vigorously: "Yes, I am willing, Your Excellency, I am deeply honored." ”

"Your Excellency, you can't do this!" The old man was in a hurry, he rushed up and wanted to grab Chen Xiansong's hand, but unfortunately he was blocked out by the transparent cover.

Seeing this situation, Bai Min's hands hung down, and his eyes were about to move, as if he was waiting for someone to give an order.
