Chapter 386 The Influx of Refugees
"Well, well written."

Xiao Jinlian was praised by his father and smiled playfully.

Seeing his daughter's smile, Sima Ao's face darkened slightly.

"Even if you know how to do it, you can't make noise in class. It will affect other people's listening to the class." Sima Ao told his daughter, Xiao Jinlian, not to get carried away.

"Then what does the word 'sky' mean?" Sima Ao asked his daughter.

"Heaven: refers to the sky or the sun, moon and stars above a person's head, and also refers to the boundless sky." Xiao Jinlian replied.

"Well, that's a good answer. People in ancient times believed that heaven is a god with will; heaven is the ruler of all things; all have supreme authority. Therefore, they call heaven "God of Heaven"; the king who rules the world is called "Son of Heaven" ', which means to uphold the will of heaven to govern the world. The meaning of the judgment of heaven is very broad."

"Oh, so the word 'Tian' means so much." Xiao Jinlian was only seven years old and could not fully understand what her father said.

"Mr. Father, 'husband' can take the lead, why is 'heaven' not allowed to take the lead? Does 'husband' come out, can it be up to the sky?" Xiao Jinlian blinked her big round eyes and looked at her father (Sima Ao) ), as if waiting for his father's answer.

Hey, this daughter will suddenly ask such a question?

Sima Ao was slightly taken aback.

Just when Sima Ao opened his mouth to answer his daughter's question, a clear and clear child's voice said; "'husband' refers to an adult man or a married man. If 'husband' is not a head, how can he stand up to the sky? Although the word 'husband' is a head , but it cannot be bigger than the sky, because the "sky" is the biggest. Since the sky is the biggest, the word "sky" must be capped, and it cannot protrude; if it protrudes, it means that there is something bigger above it."

The crisp child's voice seemed to come in from outside the window.

Sima Ao walked up to Zhangtai and looked outside, and saw a boy about seven or eight years old lying outside the window with his ears up, eavesdropping on his lecture.

When Sima Ao went to the window sill, the students also ran to the window sill to look around.

Knowing that he had been discovered, the boy ran away in panic.

On the second day of class, Sima Ao went to the window sill to look around, but he didn't see the boy from yesterday.

........................

I don't know how many days later, Sima Ao found that boy, lying outside the window and raised his ears, eavesdropping on his lecture.

This time Sima Ao did not walk towards the window sill, but left the academy, walked around the window sill, and quietly came behind the boy.

"You answered very well last time. What's your name?" Sima Ao asked appreciatively.

The boy turned his head in astonishment, and looked at Sima Ao for a while.

Just as the boy was about to run away in fear, Sima Ao called out to the boy. "You don't have to run, I won't hurt you."

With Sima Ao's words, the boy was not so afraid.

My name is Houwa.I came here on the run. "The boy replied.

It is not difficult to see that he is a child from a family fleeing from famine. He is dressed in shabby and dusty clothes, with a thin body and a bloodless face. It is not difficult to see that it is caused by malnutrition.

Although the boy is thin and pale, his eyes are bright, giving people a sense of aura.

"How long have you been studying outside the window?" Sima Ao asked again.

The boy thought Sima Ao was about to punish him, so he ran away again in fright.

Seeing this, Sima added: "You don't have to be afraid, I just want to know, and I won't punish you."

The boy then stopped and did not go.

"It's been three months." The little boy replied with a trembling voice.

"Then did you go to school before?" Sima Ao asked the boy again.

The boy shook his head.

Sima Ao was a little unbelievable. He didn't go to school, but he only eavesdropped on the class for three months, and he understood so many principles and knew so many words?
"You like going to school, right?" Sima Ao asked again.

The boy nodded.

"If you really want to go to school, you can go to my college. I don't charge you tuition fees, but you have to help me with the work." Sima Ao said to the boy.

The boy looked at Sima Ao in disbelief and asked, "Is it true?"

Sima Ao smiled and said: "Of course it is true. You are the most logical thinking child I have ever seen. You have become my student. I believe that you will become a master in the future."

The boy excitedly greeted Sima Aoxing as a teacher. "Thank you sir."

Sima Ao took the boy back to the academy, told the students of the academy that the boy was a student here from now on, and asked his daughters Xiao Jinlian, Fat Ya, and Li Changshou to teach the boy more.

After class, the students asked the boy curiously, "Are you the one who was outside the window and eavesdropped on our class a few days ago?"

The boy nodded in shame.

"Hey, thief!"

A few students joked that the boy was a thief.

The boy was so sad that he didn't speak.

"You are not allowed to say that about him. Mr. taught us to help each other and love each other, and not to laugh at others. He just has no money to go to school and wants to go to school." Xiao Jinlian came over and scolded, laughing at the boy's classmates.

"That's it!"

Fat Ya and Li Changshou also came to help.

Xiao Jinlian is the husband's daughter, who would dare to offend her?
Those classmates were so scared that they ran away quickly!
Little Jinlian blinked bright eyes, and asked the boy in a childish voice, "Hey, what's your name?"

The boy peeked at the little Jinlian, and replied tremblingly, "My name is Houwa."

What is a monkey frog?

Li Changshou thought to himself, I have only heard of bullfrogs, but never of monkey frogs.

"It's not 'Frog', it's 'Wa' doll's baby." Houwa added.

Li Changshou was dizzy and still couldn't tell the difference between 'frog' and 'baby'.

"Hehe! Your name is uglier than mine?" Fatty couldn't help laughing.

"Where are your parents, why did they give you such an ugly name?" Xiao Jinlian asked again.

"My parents died when I was very young, so I don't know what my surname is, and I don't know if I have a name. I came here fleeing famine. The adults who fled with me saw that I was thin and small. If I run quickly, call me Monkey Baby."

The boy told Xiao Jinlian, Li Changshou, Fat Ya, and the three of them how he got his name.

When Houwa said that her parents died when she was very young, she cried sadly.

"Woo! You are so pitiful, you don't even have a name."

Xiao Jinlian, Fat Ya, and Li Changshou all felt sympathy for Houwa's life experience.

Woo... What a miserable life experience!
After hearing about Houwa's tragic life experience, Fat Ya also followed Houwa, crying sadly!
"Don't be sad, this will be your home from now on." The boy told Xiao Jinlian, Li Changshou, Fat Ya, and the three how he got his name.

"My father is a very good man. Letting you go to school here means he treats you as his own family, so you don't have to be sad." Xiao Jinlian comforted Houwa.

"Yes! In the future, we will be your good friends and we will help you."

"exactly!"

Fat Ya and Li Changshou also comforted Houwa.

During the process of escaping from famine, refugees fleeing from famine are often driven away by some locals, disliked, and bullied. Without a shelter, they can only help each other.

Houwa has endured these things at a young age, and has never felt the care and warmth of outsiders.

Now Houwa feels the care and warmth of outsiders, and it is difficult to restrain his inner emotions. The more Xiao Jinlian, Fat Ya, and Li Changshou comfort him, the more Houwa cries.

On the second day after Houwa was taken in, a large number of refugees fleeing famine flooded into the capital city.

Liu Taishou was afraid that these refugees fleeing from famine would disturb the public order in the city and would not allow these refugees to enter the city.

In order to scare and drive away these refugees, Liu Taishou ordered the city guards to shoot arrows, and many refugees died tragically under the arrows.
