"That's the last old hen in Aunt Wang's family, and she laid eggs a week ago, but I don't know why she doesn't lay eggs in the past few days.

Aunt Wang originally wanted to slaughter the stew soup and drink it, but you just happened to recuperate from your injuries, so she prepared some for you. ”

The little girl was carrying a bowl of chicken soup with a few pieces of chicken in it.

Zhao Cheng sat in the courtyard and took the bowl from the girl's hand casually.

I don't know if it's related to the old hen!

When he escaped from the dungeon, Zhang Mushroom Liang also stewed an old hen.

It was also the last hen she raised.

The same is a hen that does not lay eggs.

Thinking of Zhang Mushroom Liang, Zhao Cheng felt inexplicably sad.

He has been in this world for two months.

In the first half month, Zhang Yuliang's meticulous help and love for him was the key to his ability to quickly integrate into the world.

gets along day and night, and Zhao Cheng already regards her as his relative.

The only relative in Daming Hongwu for thirteen years!

It's a pity that her identity still hurt her after all.

Zhao Cheng sighed and picked up the chicken soup and tasted it little by little.

"Brother Qin, are you missing your family?"

The little girl felt Zhao Cheng's sadness and wanted to comfort him.

She will sometimes be like Zhao Cheng, she will be sad, sad, and will cry secretly alone.

Her name is Li Qiaozhen, she is thirteen years old this year, her parents died early, and now she is dependent on her grandfather.

Grandfather Li Lin, but he has a pair of wonderful hands, and according to legend, his ancestors are miracle doctors and have family medical skills.

It is also with this medical skill that the old man can support his granddaughter in this troubled time.

"Well, yes!"

Zhao Cheng didn't hide, Zhang Mushroom was cold to him, it was the existence of his relatives.

Although the two are fake husband and wife, their feelings are sincere, far beyond ordinary blood relatives.

"Grandpa said that Mom and Dad went to heaven, and they would watch us from heaven,

Especially at night when the stars are shining, it's when they are blinking. ”

Li Qiaozhen sat beside Zhao Cheng, holding her cheeks with both hands, looking at the distant sky.

She has been dependent on her grandfather for as long as she can remember, and she has never seen her parents.

Seeing that other children have parents and parents, she will also fantasize, but more often she is sad and wronged.

Why, I don't have mom and dad?

Zhao Cheng held the bowl and looked at the sky, he also understood the little girl's life experience, and he was very sad.

In this era, there are many people like Li Qiaozhen!

"Yes, they've been watching us from the sky, hoping we'll be happy every day."

Zhao Cheng smiled, and comforted Li Qiaozhen in turn, "Qiaozhen wants to grow up happily and become a well-known talented woman in the future." ”

This little girl is very young, she has developed very well, she already has a beautiful embryo, and she will definitely be a big beauty in the future.

"Qiaozhen doesn't want to be a talented girl, Qiaozhen wants to inherit her grandfather's mantle and be a doctor who saves lives and helps the wounded."

The little girl refuted Zhao Cheng's words seriously, ran back to the house, retrieved a medical book, and sat next to Zhao Cheng again, reading meticulously.

She knows a lot of words, understands a lot of pharmacology, memorizes a lot of medical books, and has long memorized many of the contents.

"Haha, okay, be a doctor who saves lives and helps the wounded, just be a doctor who saves lives and helps the wounded!"

Zhao Cheng laughed, extremely supportive of the little girl's lofty ambitions, maybe he brought those medical books or something, and he could give some to the little girl.

……

There is a "professional nurse" to take care of him, and the days of Zhao Cheng's recuperation are also interesting, and after a period of understanding, he also has a little understanding of this village.

It is called Wushanzhai and is home to more than 200 families with a total population of more than 1,000.

As for the origin of the name, it is because more than half of the people in the village are surnamed Wu, and they are all a family for one or two hundred years.

Before the world was unified, Wujiazhai was a well-known bandit nest.

With the efforts of three generations of the Wu family, they were able to survive in the troubled times.

Of course, it's also a bandit den now.

Now the big boss of the cottage is called Wu Yong, relying on the foundation of his ancestors and the bloody nature of daring to fight more than ten years ago, he has become a big man within a radius of dozens of miles.

Although, he is also a farmer with good roots.

But it used to be regarded as maintaining order for dozens of miles around it, sheltering one side of water and soil.

It can be regarded as a well-known existence.

Even if it is now the thirteenth year of Hongwu's founding, the government within a radius of dozens of miles has to give him a few thin noodles, and he will send some congratulatory gifts during the New Year's holidays.

It is regarded as a land king, with some authority.

The face is very good, but the lining is a little worse.

In fact, it's no wonder that Wu Da is in charge, the whole world is basically like this.

It's very good to be alive, and as for how to live, that's not something for them to think about.

In the early years, the soldiers were in chaos, and they dared to fight bloody and ruthless, relying on robbing the rich businessmen and giants in the past, and their lives were relatively nourishing.

There is money, food, and weapons, and there is no shortage of manpower and material resources, and he is naturally happy.

But in recent years, the society has stabilized, and the robbery has not been done again.

The farmers in the stockade picked up their old jobs, but they could survive.

But it's just about surviving.

At the end of the year, I worked hard to plant some land, but in fact, there was not much harvest, and there was basically no surplus grain.

And with the increasing number of newborns in the village, the consumption of food is a big problem.

The little dolls can't stand the hunger, and the harvest is insufficient every year, and life is becoming more and more difficult.

These little guys are just four-legged food devouring beasts, and their lethality is not great, so it's OK if they have food.

Who would have thought that in a few hundred years, it would evolve and become a four-legged gold-swallowing beast, and people who don't have some family background really can't afford to raise it.

One day, Zhao Cheng was basking in the sun in the courtyard.

From a distance, I saw Mr. Li coming back, followed by a man in his forties, and he didn't know what to say.

After getting closer, Zhao Cheng heard something.

After the end of the war, the population of the village exploded, and basically every family had several children.

Now the older children are similar to Li Qiaozhen, and the younger ones are still dolls in swaddling clothes.

There is a food problem in the stockade, and there is also an education problem.

The big boss has seen a little of the world, and his cognition is much more profound than that of ordinary croppers, and he has always believed that children must read in order to have a future.

In the past, Wujiazhai also had a academy, but it was basically not used for decades of turmoil.

And ten years ago, the only teacher in the village passed away, and now there is no teacher to teach.

If the children in the village want to study, they can only be sent to the county seat hundreds of miles away.

There is a academy fifty miles away, but it is a clan study, a private study, not the same clan, and no one accepts it.

A hundred miles away, for the people in the Hongwu period, it was still too far.

There is no way, Wu Da can only be cheeky to invite Old Man Li Lin.

I hope that he will take a position in the academy and teach the children when he has time.

The old man is a doctor, and he is also the most learned person in the village.

The rest are somewhat literate.

But it is limited to literacy, and I don't know anything about articles, doctrines, and the teachings of saints.

Zhao Cheng listened to it, he knew that Old Man Li had limited energy, but he took the initiative to ask Ying to take over this job.

"Master Wu, I have plenty of time, if you don't mind, maybe let me try~"

"You?"

The big boss knows Zhao Cheng, the sick number rescued by Li Yatou, and seeing his talent, his identity is not small.

What's more, the injuries on Zhao Cheng's body are not simple, and they are even more terrifying.

Such a person who doesn't know the roots, Wu Da is not a little bold, and agreed to let him stay in the village to recuperate.

"If Qin Ming and Qin Gongzi are willing, it will be the blessing of Wujiazhai."

Before the big boss could speak, the old man stroked his beard and praised, "Big boss, what are you still doing in a daze?" Hurry up and agree!

Qin Gongzi is highly educated, and many opinions are unheard of and unseen by the old man, and these little dolls are fortunate to be taught by him. ”

The big boss glanced at Zhao Cheng suspiciously, the old man spoke so highly of him?

He knew very well what kind of man the old man was.

It can be called a miracle doctor!

His medical skills are so high that he is not much worse than those imperial doctors in the imperial city.

Even, there are even excesses!

"Qin Gongzi has the heart to teach the children, so naturally we can't ask for it."

The big boss didn't hesitate much, since Old Man Li approved it, he naturally wouldn't doubt it.

"That's ......"

The next day, Zhao Cheng obeyed the arrangement and went to the academy to have a look.

He still lives in the Li family, which is only three or four hundred meters away from the academy.

Although there are still injuries in the body, this distance is harmless, and now sports and recuperation are combined.

The recovery effect is quite good.

The academy reopened, and there is currently only one teacher in Zhao Cheng, and there are quite a few students, forty or fifty people.

There are many children of all ages in the village, but those over ten years old help with the housework and are not sent to the academy to study.

But even so, the age ranges from four to five years old, from five or six years old to nine or ten years old.

Boys are the majority, there are many girls, and there are nearly twenty little girls.

Zhao Cheng taught, did not teach the Analects, nor did he teach the Three Character Classic, but mainly taught arithmetic and propagated Arabic numerals.

After two days of teaching, my sick body did not feel tired, and I enjoyed it and was very busy.

Later, I found that the bishop was not good at arithmetic, but he still had to read and write, and he mainly knew how to read and write.

After a period of exploration, Zhao Cheng formed a relatively regular teaching method.

They are taught a fixed morning every day, focusing on literacy and supplemented by popular science, and in the afternoon they are more relaxed, focusing on popular science and supplemented by literacy.

Occasionally, I will tell a few stories to promote the worldview of fairness and justice.

……

Zhao Cheng is actually not a qualified teacher.

At least in such an era, he could not teach the Analects and the Four Books and the Five Classics.

At most, read from the script, or give some simple explanations and say some specious truths.

It's popular science, short stories and other novel things, and Zhao Cheng is good at it.

I'm a good guy, I'm definitely good at it.

As a result, these things have also become the main content of teaching.

These children are very teachable and have a high level of curiosity about the outside world.

Although it was only three days, Zhao Cheng had already felt the sense of accomplishment and superiority of the ancient teacher.

Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher......

The teacher-student relationship is much thicker than it will be hundreds of years later.

Of course, that is the inevitable consequence of universal education.

Zhao Cheng taught very hard, and he was also very comfortable, telling some reason, telling some stories, and doing some popular science every day, and his life was quite relaxed and happy.

After being a teacher for seven days, Zhao Cheng's body recovered seventy-seven eighty-eight,

In his spare time, he will also help Li Qiaozhen plant some flowers and plants, saying that they are some medicinal herbs......

After staying in the village for a long time, Zhao Cheng will always encounter the problem of lack of food in the village.

It's late March, the temperature has risen, and the crops are working.

But no matter how hard you work, the food problem is still getting worse year by year, and many people are troubled.

After some thought, Zhao Cheng decided to take out some seeds of crops and try to plant them.
