048 Break (I)

Aslan sat at home, drinking a muffled wine, without saying a word. There was a person standing in front of him, the uneasy Alex. The little guy's left face was swollen, and a big slap was left on it. The noise of the village uphill could even be heard here, Freya's screams and Little Jessica's cry.

"Why do you tell your second uncle and the others about Xiao Jiexika?" Aslan asked while drinking.

Alex lowered his head and said, "I just said it casually, but I didn't expect that the second uncle and the others would react so much."

"Ask a casual word?" Aslan's eyes were filled with anger: "Now he dares to lie to me, come here."

Alex seemed to struggle for a moment before slowly walking forward. "Bang", a crisp sound rang in the room. Alex covered his right face and stumbled back. Aslan was so strong that he felt half of his head covered, and his eyes were full of stars.

"Tell me, what exactly are you thinking."

Alex's mouth began to bleed, and he didn't dare to wipe it: "Actually... I don't like Jessica. I hope that I can only learn words and calculations with the teacher in the village. I don't want anyone else to share such honors with me. Ah Father, I know that this idea is wrong, but I just think so and can't help but do it."

Aslan sighed: "It is normal for you to have such an idea. No one wants to share knowledge with outsiders, except for some great people, such as your two teachers. But, you are a little wrong. Do you know where the mistake is?"

"Shouldn't you tell Uncle Jessica about it?"

Aslan shook his head: "No, your mistake is that you should not question the teacher's decision. No matter who he wants to be his student, it is his freedom. You cannot destroy it because of your dislike and dissatisfaction. On the surface, you are making mistakes, but in fact, your mistake is "unkindness."

Alex was silent, which was a big crime. Aslan continued: "Fortunately, your teacher doesn't know that you did this on purpose now, and he shouldn't know that in the future, because he is a kind person and will not speculate on others maliciously. Children, the Sun God said that kind people often suffer losses, but kind people can eventually go to heaven, while those with malicious intentions, even if they get countless benefits, can only go to hell in the end. From now on, you must remember this sentence every moment, not only learn knowledge, but also learn the morality of Teacher Xiaosong. Do you understand?"

Alex nodded repeatedly.

"As for the second uncle and the others." Aslan looked up slightly, as if his eyes could pass through the house and saw the situation on the uphill side of the village: "I probably know what the second uncle is thinking about what he is, but this does not mean that he is weak and can be bullied. One is the identity of a soul-thinking person, and the other is just an ordinary mercenary, and the villagers. Uncle Second is really confused about this matter. Unfortunately, my people cannot defeat my second uncle, otherwise such a thing would never have happened." Aslan tightly squeezed his fist.

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

Bai Min still looked cold, and Balff replied: "These people came in the morning and said they wanted to give their master a bank of communication. Hehe, I don't think they would give them an explanation, but I hope the master will give them an explanation. Master, these people are clearly malicious, should they expel them by force?"

"No hurry, ask what to do first."

Chen Xiansong took two steps forward. At this time, Bai Min pointed at him, and a transparent cover enveloped him. "Energy Field"? Chen Xiansong poked it with his finger, soft and slightly elastic. There were similar things in the New Human period, but they consumed a lot of power and were generally used to defend large machines, such as the spacecraft that had not been built before and later crashed.

But now is not the time to do these things. He asked the crowd in front of him: "What happened? Is there anyone explaining the situation to me? No matter what, treating women and children like this is an inappropriate behavior. Let them go first and then heal their wounds."

When Chen Xiansong walked over and was about to help Freya and her daughter up, an old man came out and stopped him, and said, "Your Excellency, we did this to maintain the tradition that has lasted for thousands of years. I hope you can also act according to tradition, not to let everyone feel cold, and not to destroy the code of conduct and pride of our Kate Kingdom."

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

"Those who learn writing without permission will die!" The hunchbacked old man had a kind face, but his words were very murderous.

Education in the new human era is about maintaining common ground while reserving differences. If you have different opinions, everyone will sit down and discuss slowly, striving to find a practice that both parties can accept. Chen Xiansong also inherited this advantage. Although he felt that such rules were bloody, he did not intend to directly act by others and beliefs. He thought for a while and said, "But Jessica is already my student, so there should be no problem with this."

"Your Excellency, Jessica seems to have become your student yesterday." The old man said slowly: "But we learned that she had begun to secretly use her ability to peek at Alex's writing learning and practice."

Chen Xiansong felt that the old man was really stubborn: "So, I am the person involved. As a teaching staff, I forgive her. You can let them go."

"But they are people in our village, and I cannot allow anything to ruin the reputation of our village." The old man lowered his head, as if he was very respectful, but he could not see his expression: "So, please make a fair decision."

Chen Xiansong was about to speak again, when Balff walked up to him and said, "Master, please wait a few minutes. Can you go back to the room? Some things to say, very important things."

Now that human life is at stake, Chen Xiansong feels that nothing can be more serious than this. However, Balff has always been a mature and cautious person, and he thinks he should indeed listen. He said, "Xiao Min, 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 wrapped in by the same transparent cover on Chen Xiansong.

In the room, Balff whispered: "Master, that old man is actually forcing you."

"Forcing me?" Chen Xiansong has been growing up under the care of the new human beings. In terms of knowledge and knowledge, only Bai Min can be better than him in this world, but if it comes to people's hearts, even a 14 or 15-year-old child may be stronger than him and Bai Min. Hearing Balff's words, he was a little puzzled: "They are obviously forcing Freya and Jessica."

Balff knew that his master was very kind, and he admired his master with such character, so he explained patiently: "The old man, on the contrary, wanted the master to punish the two villagers fairly, but in fact, he might have seen the master be kind, thought that the master was weak and could be bullied, and wanted to benefit the master's kindness to achieve something he wanted to do."

Hearing this, Chen Xiansong couldn't believe it: "He is not so sinister, right?"

"I don't know what the old man wants, but if the master might as well go with him, maybe he will know." In fact, Balff knew what the old man was about to make, but he understood that subordinates can be smart, but not too smart. Most of the superiors have this problem and cannot see the subordinates better than him. His master is very kind, and it is precisely because of this that Balff wants to take care of his master's face.

Chen Xiansong is not a fool. Of course, there is a gap in intelligence compared to new humans, but among posthumans, he is also considered a high IQ person. What he lacks is just time and experience. After standing and thinking for a while, he really began to feel that the old man's behavior seemed a bit strange.

Outside, he began to look at the villagers gathered around him, and then found that most of them were strong men, of course there were women, all standing outside. Some of these men in the inner circle looked very familiar, as if they were all from the mercenary group, and there seemed to be a strange look in their eyes.

Chen Xiansong felt more and more that Balff's words should be right. He walked over and helped Freya up, who was frightened and frightened, and said: "Old man, what do you want to do to them?" Because Freya also had a transparent cover applied by Bai Min, they could contact each other.

"I just want you to use our traditional methods to punish them and win back the lost honor in our village." The old man still lowered his head when he spoke, and could not see his expression at all.

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

"They are our villagers. We didn't look up before, and we didn't want to see each other. It's just this..."

Chen Xiansong: "There should be a solution. You said that everyone looked up and saw them. They were not having a good life, so why bother to make things difficult for them?"

"Your Excellency makes sense, but we don't want to do it either, but this is the rule for thousands of years... If you know about other villages and outsiders in the city, how will they view our village? Insults are light, and maybe they will even cut off contact." The old man said slowly.

Chen Xiansong touched his chin: "It's so serious? Isn't it okay for you to hide it from it?"

"The Sun God servant said, don't worry about poverty or inequality. You should understand the meaning of this," the old man continued: "Your Excellency has learned Jessica's secretly learned words and chose to cover her up. This is a kind of destruction of our Kate Kingdom tradition. Since you have destroyed it, why not destroy it thoroughly."

"You mean... I hope I will take a few more students, preferably your relatives or something?" Chen Xiansong said slowly: "In this way, are you willing to help them hide this matter?"

The old man didn't say anything, and an excited light flashed in the eyes of the crowd around him, and their breathing became obviously rapid.

Chen Xiansong understood the other party's thoughts and felt a chill. After a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Old man, do you know? In fact, you don't have to use this despicable method at all." When Chen Xiansong helped Freya up just now, she found that her body was covered with bruised scars, and her left wrist seemed to be dislocated.

Xiao Jiexika also had some scars on her body. Chen Xiansong felt a flame called anger in her heart gradually burning: "If you come to me directly and say that you want your children to learn words, I will probably teach you, but now... for your own desires, you actually do these stupid things..."

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

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

Freya was stunned for a moment, then understood Chen Xiansong's plan. She nodded vigorously: "I am willing, I am willing, you, I am deeply honored."

"Your Excellency, you can't do this!" The old man was anxious. He rushed up to grab Chen Xiansong's hand, but unfortunately he was blocked outside by a transparent cover.
