Sailboats from the Changge Fortress slowly docked at the docks in the border town.

After the gangplank was lowered, the people on the boat walked down the trestle one after another, carrying all kinds of bags. Most of them were setting foot in this strange land for the first time, and their expressions were a little dazed, and the urging of the sailors behind them only exacerbated their uneasiness.

Under the push of the crowd, a middle-aged woman accidentally slipped under her feet, lost her balance, and was about to fall off the trestle. The other woman took the lead and grabbed the other's wrist to help her stabilize her figure.

"Thank you...... Thank you," the rescued man clutched his chest and thanked him repeatedly.

And the woman just smiled and waved her hand, signaling that it was a trivial matter.

Standing on the docks, Filin Silt recognized from the crowd the young woman with athletic skills - the Rising Flower of the Fortress Theater, Irene, his beloved wife. She was wearing a white dress, her long hair was coiled on top of her head, and she still looked so beautiful and refined.

The First Knight endured his excitement, and when she stepped safely from the dock to land, he stepped forward quickly, and hugged her from his side, completely ignoring the gazes and comments of those around him. The other party was startled, and after recognizing that it was Film, he also responded to his hug gently.

"It really scared me to hear the news of the defeat of the Duke's army. When I was in the Changge Fortress, I wanted to meet you, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance. She whispered in the knight's ear, "It's good you're safe." ”

"I was locked up in the dungeon of the lord's castle, and the guards couldn't have let you in," Filin let go of his wife, "are you doing well for more than half a month?"

"......," she was silent for a moment, "I'm leaving the theater." ”

Fei Lin immediately understood the meaning of his wife's words, when he was still the first knight of the Western Realm, only the Duke dared to do anything to her, and now that he has become a prisoner of His Royal Highness the Prince, the group of guys who covet Erin no longer need to hide their malice, and they are ready to wait for the opportunity to attack. At this time, going to work in the theater is undoubtedly sending sheep into the tiger's mouth.

"It's okay, I have a job here, and the pay isn't too low. He reassured, "Let's go home and talk later." ”

"Home?" said Erin, looking a little surprised, "don't we have to live separately?"

Generally speaking, most of the prisoners who were not executed and did not accept redemption were used as coolies, living in tents and barracks, and many of them were crammed into a heap and lay down on the ground covered with wheat straw. The treatment of the captives' families was no better, and the women had special camps, where they also had to sleep on the floor, and when the men were working, they had to clean up the man's house, boil water, cook and wash.

Thinking of this, Fei Lin was a little moved, at the fortress farm, she had at least one spacious room with a comfortable bed and a soft quilt. But for her own sake, she still chose to come to the border town alone, even if she had to huddle with other women in a small house or tent, and accept forced labor every day, she did not flinch.

"I'm a teacher now," he said, taking Erin's bag and taking her hand, as he walked toward the new district, "and the teacher gets a free house." ”

To tell the truth, when he first heard His Highness announce the treatment of teachers, he did not expect much - as a captive, it would be nice to have a room. Even if it is a wooden house that is leaky from the wind and rain, you should be able to live in it by repairing it yourself. To his surprise, the housing allocated to teachers would be like this...... Regularity.

Walking into the community, the street suddenly becomes wider, and the ground is paved with gray-white gravel, which is flattened by the rolling stones, and you will not feel awkward at all when you walk up. At first, he didn't understand this practice, and felt that the stonemasons were wasting manpower and time. It wasn't until after a heavy rain, which flowed down the cracks in the stones into the ground and into the deep drainage ditches on both sides, that he understood why. Compared to the muddy and waterlogged alleys in the Changge Fortress when it rains, such streets are obviously much better.

Erin looked around and asked a little puzzled, "The houses here all look newly built, are you going the wrong way?"

"No, dear, we're almost there. ”

After turning two corners along the street of the neighborhood, Philin Silter and Erin stopped in front of a two-story brick house, "This is it." ”

"Where?" she looked left and right before turning her gaze to the brand-new building in front of the knight, covering her mouth in disbelief, "is it...... This whole house is our home?"

"Of course not," he smiled, "this is the teacher's building, our home is in the middle of the second floor, let's go, let's go up." ”

Pulling out the key and opening the door, Mr. Filin took his wife by the hand and walked into his new home, which consisted of a main hall, two bedrooms, and two auxiliary rooms, all furnished. It's not big, but it's surprisingly comfortable. Whether it is the decoration of the main hall or the layout of the bedroom, it makes people feel refreshing. Now with Erin, this home is even more perfect.

"Oh my God, were you really taken as a captive?" Erin eagerly ran into the rooms to take a closer look, excited like a child, "We'll live here in the future?"

"Well, of course. With a smile, Filin took out rusks and cheese from the cupboard and placed them on the table, "You haven't eaten on the ship, have you?" ”

"By the way, you're a teacher now," Erin ran back to her husband, "which nobleman's child do you want to teach?"

"Not the nobles, but the people who teach His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Leader?" she was stunned, "Teach what?"

Fei Lin picked up a book on the table and handed it to his wife, "Teach them to read and write, this is the ...... "textbook" issued to me by His Royal Highness." ”

When he chose to become a teacher, he feared that he would not be up to the task, a position that was usually filled by a knowledgeable gray-haired old man. However, His Highness said nonchalantly that it was enough to teach according to the textbook. When he saw this so-called textbook, he realized that teaching people to read and write can also be so refined.

From the way the course is taught to the content of the course, it has it all. The first page also lists more than a dozen answers to common questions for novice teachers, such as how to become a good teacher, how to arouse students' interest in learning, how to test the effectiveness of teaching, and the answers are plain and simple, which makes people feel a sense of sudden enlightenment. Before he even started the class, he was already fascinated by the book.

The same was evident with Erin, who had grown up in the theater and had read more books and plays than Flin, and the knight had lamented that with his wife's looks and intellect, if she had been born into an aristocratic family, she would have become a household name throughout the West.

After turning a few pages, Erin suddenly raised her head and asked, "You said it before...... Teachers are paid well?"

"20 silver wolves a month, 5 more every year. ”

"There's no theater here, right?"

"I didn't ...... Yes," Filmin hesitated, he had already guessed his wife's thoughts.

Sure enough, the other party closed the book and smiled, "Then I want to be a teacher too, my dear, just like you." (To be continued.) )
