050 If you are too good to men, you will be doubted
The gap between rich and poor in this world is desperately large, and a family with a hundred gold coins can already be counted as a rich man, but this is also the result of the accumulation of generations of the Reed family. Ordinary people have a gold coin, and they have been worry-free about food and clothing for a long time, like the village chief of Reed, taking out a hundred gold coins at a time to improve the strength of his grandson, for the villagers of Reed Village, it is no less than a subverted three views.
But in fact, throwing a hundred gold coins at a time is nothing to a true nobleman. Liang Lidong also didn't think it was strange. However, he saw some changes in the children's expressions, and many of them had a feeling called 'jealousy' in their eyes.
This is not a good sign. Liang Lidong clapped his hands, attracting everyone's emotions to himself, his gaze swept over all the children, and every child who made contact with his eyes involuntarily lowered his head, and then he said lightly: "This world is not fair, and it has never been fair." Even if everyone is a commoner, some people are born prettier than others, some run faster than others, and some people are even much smarter than others, while some people are born with nothing, no wealthy families, and no special skills, so ordinary that they can't be more ordinary. ”
These words made a large number of children look dark, the children in it, except for Kyle, who can barely be regarded as a descendant of the nobility, the others are all commoners, and none of them have any special skills, Liang Lidong's words poked the weakest place in their hearts, and it hurt a lot.
"But that's not a reason for you to give up on yourself or even be jealous of others." Liang Lidong said very blandly: "If you think this is unfair, then work hard and seize any opportunity without violating your conscience." You may not be able to become a master in your life, but you can study hard, work, and accumulate knowledge and wealth little by little from now on, so that your children have a higher starting point than you, and when they grow up, you will tell them these words, so that they can also create a higher starting point than them for their descendants, as long as this accumulation from generation to generation, as long as there are no natural disasters**, your descendants will one day become the nobles admired by the world, the so-called family, In fact, it has been passed down from generation to generation. ”
Some children understood, and some children didn't seem to understand, but no matter what child it was, they all secretly remembered Liang Lidong's words in their hearts. In fact, Liang Lidong also understands in his heart that chicken soup for the soul is easy to say but difficult to do, and most of him himself can't do it, let alone these children. But he understands that for these children, these words can more or less affect their soon-to-be-formed outlook on life and values, as long as one child can carry out his words, then he will not be in vain to be a teacher for this group of children for half a year.
"Alright, that's all for today's preaching." Liang Lidong clapped his hands, and then said, "I told you half a year ago that after I finish teaching you the language, I will teach you combat expertise. I remember this, and I will not break my promise. From tomorrow onwards, you will come to the temple to listen to the lectures, which is the place of prayer and the place where you will go to school in the future, understand? Well, now all disbanded...... Belleen, you stay, I have something to tell you. ”
The children looked at Belin with some envy, and then Yukan left the temple.
When there were only two people in the main hall, Liang Lidong said: "Belin, you have made great progress recently, although it is not as basic as the basic conditions for becoming a priest, I can feel that your spiritual power is condensing and stabilizing little by little. It seems that you haven't been lazy lately, which is good and commendable. ”
Belin smiled happily.
However, the condensation of spiritual power is only one of the basic conditions for becoming a priest, and the other condition is that one must understand the teachings of the goddess Waukin. So I have an idea, you can work for the temple as a temple assistant in the future, and I will pay you a certain salary, well, two silver coins a month. As long as you work in the temple for a long time, you will naturally understand the concept of Goddess Waujin over time. This will be of great help to you in becoming a pastor in the future. ”
For a girl like Belin, a salary of one silver coin a month was too exaggerated, and she stammered, "Teacher, I'm happy to be able to help the temple, and it wouldn't be good if I was paid again." ”
"There's nothing good or bad about it. Goddess Waujin is concerned about fair trade, and since you help the temple, you should be paid. Liang Lidong waved his hand: "You go back and tell your family about this, there are a lot of things in the temple, and you still need to practice meditation and strengthen your mental strength, there is not much time, if there is nothing too important, try to do as little farm work as possible in the future...... That's it, you can go back first. ”
Hearing the teacher's eviction order, Belin left with joy and sorrow. Although it is indeed very happy to be able to work for the temple and continue to receive the guidance of the teacher, but two silver coins a month, which is too much, and the family may not be able to save two silver coins in half a year, she is worried that she will not be able to do the work of the temple well, and her family and teacher will be disappointed.
Contrary to Belin's apprehension, Jerry was on his way home thinking about how he could be more valued by his teacher. Belin was left behind by her teacher, which shows that Belin has the same outstanding qualities as Kyle, who has become a professional. And an ordinary child like him, if he wants to be valued by the teacher, he must make greater efforts to become better, and he must have the opportunity to enter the teacher's sight.
He walked briskly for more than an hour before finally returning to the village of Cerry. He wasn't a kid from Reed Village, and if it weren't for the fact that the temple needed too many people, he would never have had the opportunity to be educated as a teacher.
When he got home, he pushed open the room and saw his mother sewing clothes at the table, and on the other side, his sister was scooping white flour and looking like she was cooking dinner for the family.
"White noodles? Big brother is back? Jerry was slightly stunned. The family usually eats black bread, and if you can eat white bread, it must be that the eldest brother has returned from other places.
"Yes, your eldest brother is resting in the house, you go in and talk to him. Both of you are now half-scholars, you can talk, your father and I, and your sister, sometimes we don't know what your brother is talking about, go ahead! ”
"Big brother?" Jerry pushed open the door on the far right side of the house, and saw a brown young man lying on the bed with his feet on his feet, and he asked, "When did you come back?" ”
"Oh, Jerry...... At noon. The young man yawned and sat up, his gaze stayed on his younger brother, and after being stunned for a while, he asked with some hesitation: "Brother, you seem to be very different from more than half a year ago...... It seems to have become temperamental. ”
Jerry was a little overjoyed when he heard this, and he said, "Maybe it's because I learned words." ”
"You learn words?" At this moment, the brown-haired young man was completely stunned: "What's going on, why does the family have so much money for you to learn writing?" You're not kidding. ”
Jerry sat down and asked, "Why, Mother didn't talk to you about this?" ”
"As soon as I came back, I went to bed, after all, I was very tired from the journey, it seems that she didn't have time to say! Why don't you tell me what's going on? ”
"Good!" Jerry immediately began to tell his eldest brother what had happened.
After listening to the cause of the incident, the eldest brother had a very incredible expression, as if he had been constipated for several days: "A spell caster came to Reed Village and recruited villagers to build a shrine, and the reward was to teach the children to learn words, and only one person from each family could come out?" He's going to teach you combat expertise next? There is such a good thing, it can't be a liar. ”
Jerry was a little unhappy: "The teacher is the closest person I have ever met, the closest to a saint, big brother, you speak carefully." ”
"But that's really wrong." The eldest brother looked completely incomprehensible: "Jerry, you haven't been outside, you don't know how much it costs to learn words outside, word by word, we civilian families, even if we are all in the house, we can't learn a few words." If I hadn't become a knight's squire, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn words at all, even so, in the past three years, the master has only taught me more than 160 words, and you say that you have mastered more than 500 words, you are not lying to me, how can there be such a good thing in this world. More than 500 words. ”
"Besides, I've never heard of the goddess Waukin!" The eldest brother continued to frown: "It can't be some evil god, he teaches words and combat expertise, and it's all quite reluctant, you, teacher, maybe you're planning some big conspiracy." ”
"Big brother, you are not allowed to slander the teacher like this." Jerry stood up suddenly, his face full of anger: "The teacher is sincerely for everyone's good, besides, what's the use of him lying to us?" We, the poor, have nothing to worry about, nothing at all. ”
"I'm sorry brother, I just didn't say anything, don't be so excited."
"Hmph, if you have the opportunity to meet the teacher, you know how good a person he is."
The eldest brother smiled and said, "Well, I'll go to meet your teacher tomorrow, and when I heard you say that he is so powerful, my curiosity has been hooked." ”
Jerry breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, big brother, since you're back, tell me about the things in the noble manor." ”
Yes! The eldest brother touched his younger brother's hair with a doting expression. He decided to go to the bottom of Mr. Jerry tomorrow, and if the other party had a bad record, or if there was something wrong, he didn't mind secretly finding a time to make the other party disappear in silence and never appear in this world again.
