Fall In Love with the Technology Tree

      Today, it is still a dense, undeveloped virgin forest, and there are even large predators such as wolves and bears in the woods.

    Some temporary shelters have been built out of wood on the edge of the woods, and the outer walls have not yet been laid, exposing some beam-and-column structures that have not yet dried. Such a house will decay in a short time, and it can only be regarded as a campsite that can barely keep out the rain. Dozens of children, big and small, crowded into the largest room, separated by a short fence, which was the chicken coop, and the stench of obvious birds permeated the room.

    "Chicken, chicken, chicken. We haven't eaten eggs for three days, and we have to raise them like our ancestors!"

    "Don't say a few words, Wang Er. Be careful Mr. Liu hears."

    Wang Er lowered his voice: "Hey, I heard that the master has committed a serious crime."

    "What, is there such a thing? You talk about it. I've been locked up in this ghost place for so long, every day is either smoky grass and vinegar, or repairing houses and doing coolies, it's too good to say goodbye It's not the same, it's better than begging!"

    "In the daytime, I heard a big-faced man tell Director Liu," Wang Er beckoned, and a few big boys surrounded him slyly, "Si Li is here with someone. , and also bring soldiers, to come to raid the family and destroy the family."

    "Ah!" Qi Qi exclaimed several times. "Then what do we do?"

    "What else can I do? The master can't protect himself, so how can he take care of us? When they think about it, the servants like us will be the first to be blamed."

    "Sigh." A sneer came from the corner, "Blame? You really look up to yourself."

    "What? I'm wrong? Whenever the main family suffers, the servants are either sold by the government again, or the main family sells them to raise money. Wasn't there a rumor before? Find a figure Tao, who is about the same age as the little master... Tao is so stiff, he just died for the master. Qin Liu, tell me, what did I say wrong? ."

    Qin Liu hooked the corners of his mouth, as if Wang Er's panic was pleasing him. He Nunuzui: "Then you want to run? You want to run. Did you ask Twenty-seven?"

    Twenty-seven is ten years old this year, and is the third oldest in this group of children, second only to Wang Er and Nu Qu. But he has a bright personality, and is smart and loyal, and he is the most popular one. At this time, he took the initiative to stand up: "Have the family rules for so long been recited in vain? Have the delicious food and drink been raised for so long? How is it different to be a beast without being grateful? We lowly people, if we hadn't met When I arrive at a master's house like the Nursery Hall, I don't know which street I died on. Now the master's family is in distress, just when we need us. If you want to leave, I want to stay and repay the little master! "

    Wang Er also stood up, he spat fiercely on the ground: "Twenty-seven, what kind of big man do you think you are? What can you do if the master can't solve the disaster? It's nothing to die for. I don't want to be stupid with you, I cherish my life."

    Wang Er and Twenty-seven were at a stalemate, and the younger children looked at them with wide eyes. Everyone has their own biases in their hearts.

    "Wow! Woohoo." The puppy's bark broke the silence. Its owner, a boy sitting beside the chicken coop with his head down, hurriedly hugged it.

    "Axiu, even a fool like you knows how to cherish your life, right?"

    Axiu didn't say a word, just holding his puppy.

    "Bah, my mother-in-law's brain is broken. People don't have enough to eat and they have to keep dogs. Three sticks can't make a fart. I'm stupid to ask you."

    Qin Liu was sitting next to Ah Xiu, at this time he stretched his arm to block Ah Xiu: "In this way, if you want to go, go with Wang Er, and if you want to stay, stay. It's dark, and there are no guards at the gate these two nights, and you can walk up the river for less than a day. Wang Er, isn't that what you mean?"

    "I...I...hey, that's what I really mean. Most of you come from the street. I looked carefully on the way here. Although the city is not comparable to Luoyang, it is not small. , or begging or working, life is not difficult."

    Twenty-seven fists were clenched tightly. It took a lot of restraint to not smash Wang Er's face out. In the nursery hall, it is forbidden for children to conflict with each other. Every time there is a fight, no matter who is right or who is wrong, each will hit twenty boards first. Taking off the pants and spanking, the pain is second, the shame is the real thing, and all the little friends, regardless of gender, are watching. Of course, the fear of being beaten and losing face is only a superficial reason. The deeper internal cause that enables Twenty-Seven to restrain himself is that he knows that in this situation, fists can't solve the problem. Wang Er's intention to leave has been decided.

    Not long after night fell, Wang Er and several others sneaked away, and also took two chickens.

    Cao Cao put down the light shield on the peephole and looked at Ah Sheng with a half-smile. "One egg a day, huh? Just raised such a white-eyed wolf. It's only three days of porridge."

    A Sheng picked up the scissors and trimmed the heart of the candle to make the candle light brighter. "It's a pity, not a single one was lost on the way, but the population was lost after arriving at the destination."

    "Wait, I promise someone will run away tomorrow." Cao Cao gestured to Cao Si beside him. Cao Si nodded and went out with a few nursing homes carrying weapons. "Asheng, don't be sad. Since you want to secretly build a school, the news cannot be leaked. Moreover, before coming to Qiao County, I asked them for their opinions. Since I came here, I don't care about it outside. I still run away now. , apart from being greedy for life and fear of death and being ungrateful, there is no other possibility."

    A Sheng's profile was illuminated by candlelight, as smooth and delicate as a static jade statue. She sat for a long time before saying, "Don't wait for tomorrow night, let's teach in groups early in the morning."

    "Huh? Don't you wonder who else will run away tomorrow night?"

    "Deliberately letting Liu tell the story and exaggerating it is our fault. For those who are loyal, such a temptation is a form of humiliation."

    Cao Cao frowned: "In trouble, you can see people's hearts. Is there anything wrong with me using this method to identify slick and unfaithful people?"

    Asheng bowed his head slightly: "I raise these people, just like a farmer planting seeds. No matter how hard you work, watering, fertilizing, removing insects, and careful cultivation, there will definitely be seedlings that fall on the way of growth. Not every seed will give me back, isn't it a matter of course? However, it is not advisable to give up farming because of this; it is even more inadvisable to deliberately create strong winds and floods in order to test whether the seedlings are strong. Can't stand the test."

    Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, his black pupils reflected the beating candlelight. After a long time, he reached out and patted his sister's cheek: "Asheng, you are really born benevolent."

    Asheng pushed his brother's hand away and tried his best to show a smile: "Of course I'm sad, my brother wants to deal with... the escaped few, I didn't stop it. But, anyway, there are More people stayed, didn't they?"

    Cao Cao also smiled: "The one called Twenty-seven is not bad, if you don't want it, give it to me."

    A Sheng frowned: "You were the one who said you were going to drive him away, don't you remember?"

    Cao Cao touched his nose, he really didn't remember.

    The next day, there was no sun. The sky was a little gloomy, the kind of weather that seemed to rain at any time.

    Under the command of Mr. Liu, the children lined up to get out of the poor wooden house. Ah Sheng was standing on a small mound that had been piled up in advance, holding a white piece of paper full of words in his hand.

    Liu bowed her knees to salute her: "Master."

    Asheng nodded.

    A Sheng looked at them indifferently, until everyone stood back in uneasiness before she cleared her throat: "My name is Cao Sheng, and I am your master. Everyone here, It is a contract signed with me, and you are only responsible to me. Only responsible to me means that you only listen to me, I am the only master, without my orders, you do not need to listen to anyone else, including mine Father, elder, brother."

    Cao Cao stood in the shadow of the tree with Cao Xin and Cao Jiu, and raised his eyebrows when he heard the words.

    Cao Jiu looked at him uneasily: "Master..."

    Cao Cao raised his hand. "Asheng is right, they are all her people. I have a lot of nursing homes, but whenever Asheng wants to borrow Cao San and Cao Si, I have to agree."

    On the mound, Ah Sheng was still talking: "Now, you can call me again."

    Qin Liu was the first to react: "Master." It can't be called the little master, because there is no other master besides the little master. So no matter how small Cao Sheng is, they have to call him the master.

    Twenty-seven's brains are also fast, just one second behind Qin Liu: "Master."

    Twenty-seven shouted, and the best friends who were rescued by him to the nursery hall also shouted: "Master."

    More and more people heard it, and more and more people followed. In the end, even those who responded very slowly, such as Ah Xiu, also called "Master".

    The children here are all over four years old, and they are too young to stay in Luoyang Women's Hospital. After the hard life and the double polishing of the nursery, they all had a preliminary sense of discipline, and the few thorns who were most unwilling to accept restraint also ran away last night, so they called "Master" sincerely. Even, under the command of Twenty-seven, they shouted again, neatly.

    "Yes. I will divide you into groups today, and I will teach you after the groups are completed. If one person does not complete the daily homework, the whole group will not be allowed to eat."

    Some children opened their eyes slightly, but under the constraints of long-term cultivation, no one made a sound.

    A Sheng waited for a while, but no one objected. The children of this era are really strange, the same way of raising, there are those who have not been familiar with Wang Er for two years, and those who stay are too disciplined. No matter how surprised he was in his heart, Ah Sheng was still indifferent on his face, as if everything was under control:

    "Zhao Qi, Tian Niu, Tian Ma, the three of you are on the list." Grandpa is gone, she doesn't need to read with her in a short time, Zhao Goudog, Tian Xiaoniu, Tian Xiaoma three Just enough to go to the orphans to lead the backward.

    "Sixty-nine plus three, there are seventy-two people in total here, I will divide you into eight groups of nine people. The list of group leaders will be read below, and those whose names are read Get out of the queue and stand in a row at the front. Zhao Qi, Tian Niu, Tian Ma, Nian Qi, Qin Liu, Nu Qu, Ding Xi, and A Bai."

    This list was finalized based on Liu's report and Ah Sheng's own observations last night. Among them, Nu Qu and Ding Xi are girls.

    The rest of the groupings are much more random than the group leader candidates, but pay attention to balance and try not to let the dull, difficult to learn, and young be assigned to the same group. Furthermore, Twenty-Seven's best friends were dispersed, and no one was assigned to the Twenty-Seven Group or the Ding Xi Group.

    "Now, line up in groups and jog forward."

    Immediately, the nursing home who had been waiting in front came to lead the race, and took the children to run along the cleared forest path into the woods. Deep in the woods, there is a courtyard built by Cao Teng during his lifetime. With high walls and deep courtyards, wells and vegetable gardens, it is a good place for seclusion. It is now used by Ah Sheng as a base for cultivating orphans.

      "What are you going to teach them?"

    A Sheng has repeatedly scrutinized this question: "The math class first recognizes ten (Arabic) numbers. The language class first learns his own name and the word Cao Sheng. I study every day, and then go to the farmland, chicken farm and workshop to help develop my hands-on ability. Listen to stories at night.”

    "Oh, good."

    "Brother and I will make up the textbook together."

    "Textbooks?"

    "The current conditions are not enough for one textbook per person, but the syllabus must be revised. Brother think they need to learn "Poetry"? I don't think so."

    "If you don't learn "Poetry", how can you read it?"

    "Of course it's daily use. First learn how to write parents' titles, then notices, official documents, invitations, and so on."

    "If you need them to act on behalf of the host, I think they need to learn some etiquette."

    The two little masters, who are almost six years old, trot while discussing, and the voice gradually disappeared in the woods.
