sleep forever

Akara loves money, businessmen love money, this is not news.But it's a bit sad to have to send back the unexpected money when you obviously think you're going to make a fortune.He was holding a heavy cloth bag in his hand, which contained 85 silver coins, equivalent to 850 copper coins. He felt both guilty and regretful.

The guilty conscience is that he deliberately deceived the life like dream mercenary group. To be honest, his behavior is not deceitful, but just a smooth concealment.The reputation of the Life Like Dream Mercenary Corps is indeed quite good, but there are rumors quietly circulating among some business groups that the members of the Life Like Dream Mercenary Corps don't know how to count, and they often count the commission as a small amount.Akara tried it, and sure enough.For a businessman, saving money is making money. Unexpectedly, now the sufferer has come to his door.

"Here are 85 silver coins, please check with Captain Akara."

Aslan took the money bag without even looking at it. He just roughly estimated the weight with his wrist. For him, it was a blessing to get back a deposit, and it was not a big deal to lose one or two silver coins. Question: "Director Akara, after arriving at the destination, what is the remaining commission we should get?"

"2550 copper coins." Akara wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands. The noon sun was already stinging, and his body was more likely to sweat because of his guilty conscience.Groups like mercenaries are originally fierce and fierce characters. Although the reputation of the Life Like Dream Mercenary Group is good, but no matter how Akara deceived the other party in terms of money, he was afraid that if this group of people became angry, Decided to kill someone to vent his anger, there is not even a ghost in this wilderness, except for a group of them, so who can he ask for help.

"That's no problem, thank you, Commander Akara." Aslan walked away with a smile on his wallet. In fact, he was also very guilty. The mercenary world pays attention to the final word and commitment.The commission for the task was calculated by the people in their group, and then asked for it from the merchant group, but now they 'repented' afterwards. From the point of view of the mercenary community, this is not a decent thing to do.

Because both of them were very guilty, nothing happened.Carrying a bag of money, Aslan excitedly ran to the carriage where Chen Xiansong was, and laughed loudly as soon as he got in: "Little guy, that bastard Akara really returned the money, 85 silver coins are enough It’s a month’s worth of clothes and rations for our mercenary regiment.”

At this time, Chen Xiansong was lying on the car floor, drawing horizontal and vertical lines on the blank parchment with a black charcoal pen.He sketched for a while, and found that his hand was always scratching crookedly from time to time. He thought about it, and with his natural ability, it was an idiotic behavior to draw on this kind of bumpy carriage. He took the sheepskin roll and charcoal Handed the pen to Bai Min: "Well, I'll leave it to you, Xiao Min."

Bai Min didn't say a word, took the parchment and paper, and slowly drew the black lines until the lines looked like they were made by a copier.

Aslan was a little puzzled, parchment paper is an expensive thing, how could he just randomly put black lines on it, and waste a parchment roll, which is two copper coins, which is much more expensive than food: "You... …What is this doing?"

Chen Xiansong replied slowly: "The way you record the account books is very unscientific, so we plan to help you make a relatively simple cashier form. In this way, the profit and loss ratio of the mercenary group can be calculated more accurately."

Aslan couldn't understand: "Science?" The word didn't appear in this era, or in other words, it hasn't been handed down.

"You can understand it as professional, or full-time." Chen Xiansong continued: "Uncle, you came at the right time. I want to ask how many years, months, and days are now. Our recording method must be accurate to the year and month The date and time, when there is income, and when there is expenditure, must be recorded in detail, so that it will be more convenient to check the account book in the future."

Aslan touched the short hair on his head: "So troublesome?" It was the first time he heard that there was so much attention to bookkeeping, but after he thought about it carefully, these two children were nobles, and the big family did everything well. There are particularities, and it is normal for an illiterate civilian to not understand.

However, he was a little worried: "Little guy, I know that the accounting method you use must be better than ours, but... I know that the two of you are not ordinary people, and you must not have settled in our mercenary group for a long time. One day you will leave, and at that time, no one can understand the account books."

Chen Xiansong said indifferently: "That's not easy, I'll just teach your team members..."

"What did you say... Did I hear you right?" Aslan dropped the purse in his hand on the car floor, rubbed his head with his hand, and moaned: "Let me confirm again, you are willing to share the knowledge of accounting The one who taught us?"

Chen Xiansong nodded.

After being confirmed, Aslan took a deep breath, as if trying to calm himself down, but it didn't seem to have any effect. His voice trembled a little: "Little guy...do you have any requirements for the candidate?"

Chen Xiansong was a little surprised at Aslan's gaffe at the moment: "There is no strict requirement, um... don't be too old, younger children are better at learning. In addition, he must have enough time and not be too busy Accounting involves a lot of professional knowledge. If he is illiterate, I have to teach him Chinese... General Chinese and writing. The essence of writing cannot be understood overnight. Got a fur."

"You two, please wait a moment." Aslan turned his head and got out of the carriage, and left in a hurry, not even caring about dropping the purse on the ground.Not long after, he dragged a very thin boy who was about 15 years old into the carriage, then kicked the boy's leg, and shouted: "Kneel down quickly, apprentice."

With deep inferiority complex in the boy's eyes, he knelt down on the car floor with his head bowed deeply.

Chen Xiansong was stunned, and after a while he asked back, "This is?"

There was excitement in Aslan's eyes: "He is my youngest child, and he has no talent to become a fighter or a magician. In order for him to learn something, I have always brought him by my side, in the mercenary group Help with chores. But among us mercenaries, if a person has neither knowledge nor strength, then he can only be a useless person. I don't want my son to have no future, little guy... No, Your Excellency Chen Xiansong, if You want to find a student, so I hope my son will have the honor to be your squire."

In the new human era, the concept of equality for all has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Chen Xiansong was no exception. Being kneeled down by this child made him feel uncomfortable all over. He quickly went to help him, and then said: "Get up, get up first and then talk."

The child was just kneeling, trembling all over, and Chen Xiansong couldn't get him up even after pulling him a few times.Aslan watched quietly from the side, but his clenched fists and the sweat on his forehead showed that his mood was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.When Chen Xiansong was about to speak again, Bai Min pulled his sleeve suddenly: "In the dark age, knowledge is very precious, even more precious than life, you don't have to make things difficult for them, let them do what they 'should' do. "

Chen Xiansong thought about it, so he sat back to his original seat and said to the two of them, "I promise you, you can get up now."

The boy stood up, motionless, his eyes were still full of inferiority complex, but at this moment he seemed to have a faint hope.

"Both of you, take a break first, and if you have anything to do in the future, just tell this little guy, by the way, his name is Alex." After saying this, he said to his child: "Son, you Now go and accompany you outside the carriage, and if your teacher has any requirements in the future, you must do it as soon as possible, if there is any mistake, even if the two gentlemen don't blame you, I will interrupt your dog legs."

Alex obediently got out of the carriage.

Aslan saluted and was about to leave.After Chen Xiansong decided to teach his son accounting and writing, Aslan became very respectful to the two in front of him.Seeing that he was about to leave, Chen Xiansong called out, "Uncle Aslan, you forgot to take your purse."

Aslan turned around, his eyes were full of excitement, but his face was an expression of embarrassment, which made his expression very subtle: "Your Excellency Chen Xiansong, I can see that you You should rarely leave your own family, because you have a lot of common sense. I don’t know about other countries, but in our Kate Dynasty, even if you spend 1000 gold coins, you can’t learn both general literature and mathematics at the same time. This kind of knowledge is not because there is not enough money, but because no one is willing to teach it. Combining writing and arithmetic, this is the knowledge that only the best stewards will have. knowledge used.”

He sighed and continued: "There is a magician named Campbell in our regiment. She is considered a relatively wealthy person. I heard that so far, she has paid nearly 200 gold coins and studied for six years. I just learned how to calculate within a hundred digits, I don’t know how to thank you, but I don’t even have the courage to send this bag of coins because it’s too light.”

After speaking, with such a subtle and awkward expression on his face, Aslan got out of the carriage.

Chen Xiansong sat quietly for a while, then he sighed: "I'm not experienced enough, I shouldn't have stopped uncle just now, and I shouldn't have complained about the money bag, I hurt an adult's self-esteem, let a father , let a group leader feel ashamed, alas."

Bai Min shook his head: "I don't understand."

"The book "Natural Men's Necessary Cultivation and World View" once said that the friendship and communication between people can only be understood after they really step into the society. I finally understand the meaning of this sentence." Chen Xiansong continued : "By the way, I'll leave that purse to you, Xiao Min, you are a fighting cyborg, have you recorded the knowledge of domestic assistance?"

"Yes." Bai Min nodded: "Although we are fighting cyborgs, wars do not happen all the time. In order for us to play the greatest role, we also record most of the knowledge of ordinary housekeeping cyborgs. "

Chen Xiansong put on a smile on his dull face: "From today onwards, all my money will belong to you. Hehe, you will be my housekeeper from now on."

Bai Min seemed to hesitate for a while, and then replied: "No, the housekeeper means wife."

Chen Xiansong sighed: "Then you will be my wife, anyway, there are only two of us left in this world."

"Rejected." Bai Min shook his head vigorously: "Cyborgs cannot marry natural persons. In addition, although I retain my sexual function, I have eliminated the function of producing eggs, so I am infertile."

Chen Xiansong leaned against the wall of the car, the effect of the emotional suppressant seemed to have weakened a lot, this time, there was an obvious frustration and decadence in his voice: "If you can't have children, you can't have children. Anyway, I don't have any in this world." Use. Live for a while, find a chance to get Sister Bai’s photo camera back, see what is recorded in it, and then it doesn’t matter if you die, this world, after all, does not belong to us pre-humans.”

At this time, Bai Min approached Chen Xiansong, holding his face in a pair of small white hands, and then she leaned closer, the two of them were so close that the sound of breathing could be heard.

"I don't want you to die." Bai Min's voice trembled: "My mission is to protect you. If you die, I will die too. I was only 'born' one day, and I want to live..."

Chen Xiansong was stunned, and after a while, he slowly hugged the slender girl: "I'm sorry, Xiao Min, I was wrong, I will live a good life in the future, marry more than a dozen wives, you are my biggest My housekeeper, help me take care of a lot of children, and help me manage a lot of lovers, let them all listen to you..."
