sleep forever

Aslan sat at home, drinking dull wine, without saying a word.Standing in front of him was an awkward Alex.The little guy's left cheek was swollen very high, and a big slap mark was left on it.The noisy sounds from the village uphill could even be heard here, Freya's screams, and little Jessica's cries.

"Why did you tell the second uncle about little Jessica?" Aslan asked while drinking.

Alex lowered his head and said, "I just said it casually, I didn't expect Second Uncle and the others to react so much."

"Just say it casually?" Aslan's eyes were full of anger: "How dare you lie to me now, come here."

Alex seemed to struggle a bit before walking forward slowly. 'Crack', a crisp sound resounded in the room, Alex clutched his right face and staggered back, Aslan's strength was so great that he felt that half of his head was covered, and everything in front of his eyes It's a whirling star.

"Tell me, what on earth are you thinking?"

The corners of Alex's mouth began to bleed, and he didn't dare to wipe it off: "Actually... I don't like Jessica, I hope that I am the only one in the village who can learn characters and calculations with the teacher. I don't want anyone else To share this honor with me. Father, I know it's wrong to think like this, but I just think like this, and I can't help but do it."

Aslan sighed: "It's normal for you to have such thoughts. No one wants to share knowledge with outsiders, except some good people, for example, your two teachers. However, you are wrong, and you know that Where is it?"

"Shouldn't you tell the second uncle about Jessica?"

Aslan shook his head: "No, your mistake is that you shouldn't question the teacher's decision. No matter who he wants to accept as his student, it is his freedom. You can't destroy it because of your dislike and dissatisfaction. On the surface See, you were wrong to tell a story, but in reality, your mistake was 'not fraternal'."

Alex was silent, which was a big crime.Aslan continued: "Fortunately, your teacher doesn't know that you did it on purpose now, and he probably won't know in the future, because he is a kind person and doesn't make malicious guesses about others. Son, The sun god said that kind people often suffer losses, but kind people can go to heaven in the end, while malicious people, even if they get countless benefits, can only go to hell in the end. From now on, you must always Remember this sentence, not only to learn knowledge, but also to learn the moral character of Teacher Xiao Song, understand?"

Alex nodded repeatedly.

"As for Second Uncle and the others." Aslan raised his head slightly, as if he could see through the house and see the situation on the slopes of the village: "I probably know what Second Uncle is planning. Teacher Xiao Song is really kind. But this does not mean that he is weak and deceitful. One is a soul thinker, the other is just an ordinary mercenary, and there are villagers. What happened to the second uncle this time is really confused. It is a pity that my people can't beat the second uncle, otherwise Absolutely will not let such a thing happen." Aslan clenched his fist tightly.

Chen Xiansong rushed downstairs in his pajamas. He saw Freya and Jessica in the crowd, and quickly asked the people next to him, "What happened?"

Bai Min still looked cold, and Balfe replied: "These people came this morning, saying they want to give the master a confession, hehe, I don't think they are giving the master an explanation, but I hope the master will give them an explanation. Master, these people have made it clear that they have bad intentions, do you want to expel them by force?"

"Don't worry, just ask what's in advance."

Chen Xiansong took two steps forward, at this moment Bai Min pointed at him, and a transparent hood covered him. 'Energy field'?Chen Xiansong poked inside with his finger, it was soft and slightly elastic.There are similar things in the period of new humans, but they consume a lot of power, and are generally used for the defense of large machines, such as the spaceship that was not built before and then crashed.

But now is not the time to do these things, he asked the crowd in front of him: "What happened, can someone explain the situation to me. No matter what, it is wrong to treat women and children like this Behavior, let them go first, and then heal their wounds."

When Chen Xiansong walked over and was about to help Freya and her daughter up, an old man stepped out and stopped him, and said, "Your Excellency, we are doing this to maintain the tradition that has been going on for thousands of years. I hope that your Excellency can also act according to the tradition, and don't let everyone feel cold, let alone destroy the code of conduct and pride of our Kingdom of Kate."

"Tradition, what tradition?" Chen Xiansong vaguely guessed, but he still asked one more question.

"Anyone who steals writing without permission will die!" The stooped old man's face was very kind, but his words were very murderous.

Education in the new human age is about reserving differences while reserving common ground. If you have different opinions, you should sit down and discuss slowly, trying to find a way that is acceptable to both parties.Chen Xiansong has also inherited this advantage. Although he thinks such rules are bloody, he does not intend to direct other people's codes of conduct and beliefs. He thought for a while and said, "But Jessica is already my student. , so there should be no problem."

"Your Excellency, Jessica seems to have become your student only yesterday." The old man said slowly, "But we learned that she had secretly used her abilities to spy on Alex's writing and practice."

Chen Xiansong felt that the old man was really stubborn: "So, I am the person involved. As the teacher, I have forgiven her, and you will let them go."

"But they are people from our village, and I cannot allow things to happen that tarnish the reputation of our village." The old man lowered his head, seemingly respectful, but he couldn't see his expression this way: "So, please make a fair decision, Your Excellency .”

Chen Xiansong was about to speak again, when Balfe came up and said next to him: "Master, please wait for a few minutes, can you go back to the room, I have something to say, very important thing."

Now that 'human life is at stake', Chen Xiansong felt that nothing could be more serious than this.But Balfe had always been a mature and prudent man, and he felt that maybe he should really listen.Then he said, "Xiao Min, protect Freya and Jessica and talk about it later when I come back."

Bai Min nodded, and pointed at the mother and daughter in the crowd again.The two were enclosed by the same transparent cover on Chen Xiansong.

In the room, Balfe whispered, "Master, that old man is actually persecuting you."

"Force me?" Chen Xiansong has been growing up under the care of new humans. In terms of knowledge and erudition, perhaps only Bai Min can surpass him in this world, but in terms of grasping people's hearts, he is considered a child of fourteen or fifteen years old. , or better than him and Bai Min.Hearing Balfe's words, he was a little puzzled: "They are obviously persecuting Freya and Jessica."

Balfe knew that his master was very kind, and he admired his master with such character, so he explained patiently: "The old man apparently wanted the master to punish the two villagers fairly, but in fact, he may have seen The master is kind, thinking that the master is weak and can be bullied, and wants to benefit from the master's kindness to achieve something he wants to do."

Hearing this, Chen Xiansong couldn't believe it: "He won't be so insidious."

"I don't know what the old man wants, but the master might as well obey him, maybe he will know." In fact, Balfe knows what the old man is thinking, but he understands that subordinates can be smart, but not too smart .Most of the superiors have this kind of problem, and they can't see that the subordinates are better than themselves.His master is very kind, and it is precisely because of this that Balfe wants to take care of his master's face.

Chen Xiansong is not an idiot. Of course, compared with the new humans, he has some gaps in intelligence, but among the post-humans, he can be regarded as a high IQ person. What he lacks is time and experience.After standing and thinking for a while, he really began to feel that the old man's behavior seemed a little strange.

After going out the door, he began to look at the gathered villagers around him, and found that most of them were strong men, and of course there were also women, who were all standing outside.Some of the men in the inner circle looked very familiar, as if they were members of the mercenary regiment, and there seemed to be a strange look in their eyes.

Chen Xiansong felt more and more that Balfe's words should be right. He walked over and helped the frightened Freya up: "Old man, what do you want to do with them?" Because Bai Min also imposed on Freya. Transparent cover so the two of them can touch each other.

"I just want you to use our traditional method to punish them and restore the lost honor of our village." When the old man spoke, he still lowered his head, unable to see his expression at all.

Chen Xiansong asked: "If I want them to survive, what should I do?"

"They are our villagers. We used to see each other without looking up, and we didn't want to. It's just this matter..."

Chen Xiansong: "There should be a way. You said it too. Everyone looks up and down. Their life is not easy for orphans and widows. Why make things difficult for them."

"Your Excellency is right. Actually, we don't want to, but the rules have been like this for thousands of years... If other villages and people in and outside the city know about it, how will they treat our village? The insult is considered light, say Maybe we will break off contact." The old man said slowly.

Chen Xiansong rubbed his chin: "So serious? If you help to hide it, there will be no problem."

"The servant of the sun god said that one does not suffer from poverty, but from inequality. Your Excellency should understand the meaning of this," the old man continued: "After you learned that Jessica secretly learned characters, you chose to protect her. This is a disservice to our Kate Kingdom." A kind of destruction of tradition. Since your Excellency has already destroyed it, why not destroy it thoroughly."

"You mean... you want me to recruit a few more students, preferably your relatives?" Chen Xiansong said slowly, "So, you are willing to help them hide this matter?"

The old man didn't speak, but the eyes of the surrounding crowd flashed with excitement, and their breathing became obviously rapid.

Chen Xiansong understood the other party's thoughts, and his heart was chilled. After a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Old man, do you know? In fact, you have to use this kind of dirty method." Chen Xiansong just helped Freya up When I was there, I found that her whole body was almost covered with bruises, and her left wrist seemed to be dislocated.

Little Jessica also had some scars on her body.Chen Xiansong felt a kind of flame called anger gradually burning in his heart: "If you come to me directly and say that you want your children to learn characters, I will probably teach them, but now... for selfish desires. , you actually do such stupid things..."

The old man suddenly raised his head, he subconsciously felt that things seemed to be a bit out of his plan: "Your Excellency, what do you mean?"

Chen Xiansong ignored him, but asked Freya on the side: "I remember myself and the right to recruit people, Ms. Freya, would you like to leave Huishi Village and become a member of my territory?"

Freya froze for a moment, then understood Chen Xiansong's plan, she nodded vigorously: "Yes, I am willing, Your Excellency, I am very honored."

"Your Excellency, you can't do this!" The old man was in a hurry, he rushed up to grab Chen Xiansong's hand, but unfortunately he was blocked by a transparent cover.

Seeing this situation, Bai Min lowered his hands, his eyes were about to move, as if he was waiting for someone to give an order.
