Chapter 13: The Puzzle of the World
In the distance, Wang Xiulan put down what she was doing and hurriedly went out. In the courtyard, only Ah Chen and Chen Wentao were left, looking at each other.
As soon as Wang Xiulan went out, she went straight to Yu Tongwen, and when she got nearby, she saw Yu Tongwen sitting on a rocking chair under the tree early, with a leaf covering his eyes and a big pu fan in his hand, so unhappy. Wang Xiulan's anger didn't hit one place, and when she went up, she slammed her head and covered her face and said, "What kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into my family Ah Chen, making him so fascinated?" What's so good about the Singer?! Speak with evidence or not?!! You ......"
Yu Tongwen took off the leaves on his face, stood up and looked at the people who came to visit in front of him, made a polite gesture, and said, "Presumably, Your Excellency is Ah Chen's grandmother, and you are not welcome." As for the Soul Chanter, I think that I have only fulfilled the duties of a teacher, and there is nothing wrong with what I do. ”
Seeing Yu Tongwen like this, Wang Xiulan felt as if she had punched cotton with a punch, and the turbulent river turned into a dead end, and her anger not only failed to vent, but was better than before. Angry, she pointed at Yu Tongwen and wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything for a long time.
"Hmph, I won't tell you." Wang Xiulan simply turned her head and left, leaving only Yu Tongwen to salute her again and see her leave.
On the way back, the more Wang Xiulan thought about it, the more angry she became, and she was full of anger and had no way to vent it, and gradually turned into grievances in her heart. The moment he pushed open the door and entered, Ah Chen obviously saw tears in the corners of his grandmother's eyes.
"She's ...... Crying? Seeing Wang Xiulan go straight to the house, not caring at all about the two people guarding the door, Ah Chen was also a little angry, rolled up his sleeves and was about to go out: "Who bullied my grandma, I want him to look good!" ”
"Huh," Chen Wentao hurriedly pressed down the little trouble, "It's okay, let me deal with it." "Now let's deal with this big problem.
He walked into the house, and for some reason, it was still bright outside, but there was very little light in the house. Chen Wentao didn't go out of his way to look for Wang Xiulan, but said in one direction at random: "You don't want Ah Chen to be a soul chanter?" The voice was no longer as relaxed as it had been before, but it had become as preoccupied as ever.
"I ......" Wang Xiulan's trembling voice came from the darkness, "I originally thought that he would be able to provide for us in old age." ”
"But, you know, he doesn't belong here."
"I really saw him as my own child! The singer is synonymous with wandering. It's so dangerous outside, how can I rest assured that he will go out alone? ”
"I know that you have always wanted to have a child that belongs to us, so when Ah Chen appeared, you treated him like your own child. However, you and I both know that he is not our child, let alone the blood and blood of this forest. If you force him to stay around, you will only hurt him. ”
Wang Xiulan raised her head, even in such a dark room, Chen Wentao still saw her glowing eyes. Hearing her take a few deep breaths to calm her emotions, Chen Wentao said, "Have you thought about it? Let's go out if you think about it, Ah Chen is still waiting for your reply. ”
As soon as he pushed open the door, Ah Chen hugged Wang Xiulan's thigh from the side, and said in a soft tone: "Grandma, don't be angry, I won't be a spiritual singer in the future......" This child, it seems that there is still a reliable time.
"No, it's grandma's fault. Whether it's a chanter or something, grandma has your back. Ah Chen, you remember, if you have a dream, you must chase it firmly. ”
Ah Chen obviously didn't know why his grandmother's position changed so quickly, and after looking at Chen Wentao, he still nodded firmly. "Okay, Grandma."
Time passed again, and the sun set and rose in the sky. Ah Chen has already adapted to this kind of life, and ran out happily early in the morning. "Grandpa, I'm going to school!" Because for them, going to school is as easy as listening to a story.
"Today we are going to talk about the distribution of countries in the world." As soon as Yu Tongwen's voice came out, everyone's voices suddenly quieted down.
"The name of our country is 'Pyeongchang', which means peace and prosperity. It is true that the wind and sunshine are beautiful all day long, the wind and rain are good all year round, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the court does its best...... Ahem, off topic. ”
"Although our country has a good living environment and is not plagued by various natural disasters, it is also the southernmost area of human habitation."
"Why the southernmost point?" Ah Shun asked.
"Good question," Yu Tongwen gestured at him with appreciation, "You should be able to guess the reason, a little further south from the location of the village is a dense jungle, and if you go deeper, you will encounter a continuous mountain range, which is called the 'Tianyue Mountain Range', and you can imagine its high altitude." If you continue south over the mountains, the trees around you will grow unusually thick and thick, obscuring the sky...... It's higher than you think, and there won't be a ray of sunshine even in the middle of the summer day. The most terrifying thing is the creature that lurks in it, and legend has it that it is no longer an ordinary beast on this side of the mountain, but a master of manipulating psionic energy, which can easily kill anyone who wants to enter and explore. You say, "Can this kind of place be inhabited by humans?" ”
Hearing this, thinking of the dark environment all year round, coupled with the danger everywhere, everyone shivered.
Yu Tongwen seemed to be very satisfied with their reaction, nodded and continued: "To the north of our country is the Wandai Kingdom, which belongs to the Pope's sphere of influence. The Pope is not a state, nor is he a federation of many countries, but an organization that controls people by faith, in which the Pope's de facto ruler, the 'Pope', has the power to rewrite the laws of the country under him, and even directly appoints the next king. It can be said that the king is not the master of the country, but the pope has supreme power. At first, the Pope was a small group, but in recent centuries he has suddenly taken up a large number of countries and is now able to occupy most of the map. ”
"Then those countries that have joined the Pope are willing to give up their own power?" Ah Chen asked suspiciously.
"Hmm...... In fact, it is not without merit to join them, and the Pope's contribution to the world is obvious to all: he has invented a series of psionic machines, and has a lot of psionic authority...... Just join them and all of these resources can be shared. Most importantly, they claim that through their faith, it seems that they can speed up spiritual cultivation. But I haven't tried it either, so I don't dare to assert it. ”
"Okay, let's talk about the Pope first, or we won't have enough to talk about in one day."
