Beautiful Another World Red Tide

"How much does a charcoal burner pay a month?" Hai Yi'an asked.

"One month, I remember it was fifteen copper coins, but just like that, my father often deducted it. Oh, it wasn't him, it was those in charge, but those in charge still didn't listen to my father, it didn't make any difference." Little Spandy said disdainfully, and looked at Hai Yi'an in a very energetic manner.

"I plan to be a great writer. Like you, I mainly write articles. I am most annoyed by my father's preoccupied look, which is not human at all. Well, but I still want to be a soldier. I want to go to the military academy to go to school..."

"It only talks about the changes of the Kingdom Academy. I don't know how the Theological Academy, the Military Academy, and the Magician Academy will change." Hai Yian smiled and expressed sympathy for Little Spandy's distress, and looked at it intently. newspaper.

"[-]% will not be changed. Even if the Military Academy is changed, it is probably similar to the Kingdom Academy, and the requirements must be more stringent, and it needs more relationships. The Magician Academy is generally in charge of the Magician Union. It depends on the reaction of the magician's union, or, in fact, as long as you have money and the ability to sense elements, you can basically go."

Bliss carried the wrapped duck, patted the dust on his shoulder, opened the door and walked in. He heard Hai Yi'an's thoughts all at once, and followed the trend.

"The Seminary is very much the same. In the past, His Majesty Ivan had nothing to do with them, let alone now. However, as long as they are devout and rich, there is no big problem. They are what they teach, but there is nothing very suitable for life."

Brees pulled up a chair and sat down and spoke.

"Ah, Editor-in-Chief Bliss, I'm so happy to meet you..."

"Mr. Hai Yi'an, you are always so polite. Come on, let's go to the office and chat while eating. Have you eaten?" Bliss and Hai Yi'an stood up and asked while chatting.

"I've eaten it before, but when I saw the duck, I didn't seem to have eaten it."

The two laughed. The little Spandy wanted to follow in, but the editor-in-chief Bliss stretched out his hand. This little guy has to be responsible for screening all kinds of newspaper news. The responsibility is very heavy. How can he be as fine as they are? small talk.

"Little Spandy is a very good boy, unlike his father, a gentleman, Spandy. Many old scholars who come here admire him and think his conduct is very good." Bliss said casually.

"You should have brought the latest manuscript, right? Let me open my eyes." Bliss smiled and stretched out his hand to Hai Yi'an, and Hai Yi'an also handed him the manuscript for the editor-in-chief of Bliss to check, Sun Boyang Because of the busy work, it was difficult to take care of this matter, so Hai Yi'an's manuscript was directly in charge of by Bliss.

"It's very well written, as expected of you." Bliss said after reading it twice with his glasses on, exhaled again, took out his pipe and began to smoke it one mouthful at a time.

"It seems to me that you have something on your mind, but you can't let your mood interfere with the article. Mr. Hai Yi'an, you might as well say it out, and I can also refer to it for you." Editor-in-Chief Bliss could see that Hai Yi'an seemed to have thoughts in his heart, and then He took out a box of cigarettes from the cabinet and handed it to Hai Yi'an and said.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that Mr. Sun Boyang became the speaker recently, which made me feel a lot. But I went out and looked around again, but found that there was no change at all. What should be or what should be, but because of the approaching war. There are more taxes, so I was thinking, does it really make a difference?" Hai Yi'an said with a heavy sigh.

"Well, what do you think... How about it, look at the letter Mr. Sun Boyang just sent." Editor-in-Chief Bliss took out a letter and handed it to Hai Yi'an to read.

"A part of the funding has been applied for, and we are planning to establish a new college that is different from other colleges. It will mainly teach four subjects: literacy, mathematics, engineering, and history. It will mainly carry out primary training. It is expected that a new department related to mechanical improvement will be established. Therefore, there is an urgent need for scholars who can further create on simple machines to enhance the level of production, so there is no need to worry that after literacy, there will be no official position, and a smart woman will have no rice to cook.

Afterwards, you can also go to the Military Academy or Kingdom Academy for further studies. Currently, the status of officials is still recommended internally, but the conditions for military officer status are relaxed. If possible, outstanding students who graduate from Kingdom Academy can also serve as civilians in the army...

The college is dedicated to provide low-cost or free as appropriate to families who cannot go to school due to conditions such as workers or farmers. It is also open to families who are interested in engineering. Currently, the college lacks enough teachers for various subjects. Teachers of literacy, mathematics, and history, please report to the newspaper as soon as possible Look for it in the cultural circles, and engineering is unprecedented, so please distribute it to the whole province, looking for those who are good at mechanical ingenuity or those who are interested in machinery, and there are also magicians who graduated from the Magician Academy and are proficient in magic. "

"Look, this is a big change. With Mr. Sun Boyang here, it must be different. Besides, the new government has just been established, and everything is waiting to be done. Don't worry, Hai Yi'an, you have to see Open up, and everything will be fine." Brees said with a smile, smoking a pipe.

"This is indeed a very important move." Hai Yi'an nodded in agreement, and sighed after reading it several times. "

"It's a pity that my grades in magic science were very low when I was studying at the Magician Academy. Otherwise, I would also like to apply for a teacher."

"You can write with peace of mind. If the readers know that you have closed your pen and will not continue, it will definitely crowd the doors of the newspaper." Editor-in-Chief Bliss said with a big laugh.

"Speaking of it, this kind of big concession is really not easy. The positions of officials are open to civilians. This is an unprecedented precedent. Although it is more like an official scholar than an official, in general, there are already many Great progress." Editor-in-Chief Bliss sighed again.

"That's right, although this kind of position can't be in charge of things, it's just responsible for inventing wholeheartedly, but in general, it's a great new atmosphere!" Hai Yi'an also laughed comfortably. "

"What? Are you in a much better mood? Can you write, Mr. Hai Yi'an? Let's eat then! It's already noon."

Both Bliss and Hai Yi'an had lunch very happily. Hai Yi'an discussed some historical issues with Bliss while eating. Speaking of which, in their eyes, the college has always been a place to teach literacy and some standard knowledge. Want students to learn how to modify Sun Boyang's magical machines?That is new, but looking back at the history, the history of the land of Yongdalim has indeed always had the shadows of non-magic machines and magic machines moving forward. Without those foundations, without the former, Sun Boyang would not be able to At the beginning, the magic guide machine was launched very quickly, and many things of Yongdalim were extended forward through continuous research.

Under the rule of feudalism, there is actually continuous progress in tools, and countless generations of continuous improvement and creation. This is a persistent process. Putting it in the more famous Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, all aspects of life 500 years ago, absolutely and 500 years All aspects of life later are completely different. This is a continuous and slow process. They finally converge in this era like the industrial revolution, break through the underground and extend to the surface, and appear in Yongdalim with a brand new image. In front of people, but while appreciating this kind of explosive technological progress, please don't forget that the former in history has already laid a solid foundation for this day.

69 March

"Marshal Shivanov, the Adalis Plain is in front of us. After passing this mountain, we have officially penetrated into the center of the Central Province. It is estimated that we will be able to return to the capital in a few days."

The lieutenant-general reported to Marshal Schvanov on horseback. Marshal Schvanov put down his binoculars and nodded. He officially received the letter of appointment from the interim government yesterday and promoted his rank to Marshal. At the same time as the commander of the ninth army of the city defense, he also serves as the commander of the current sixth and No.13 armies, and tries his best to block the No.14 Hyperion army of Count Karashov.

The legion was urgently transferred back from the southern front, leaving only another Tenth Legion of General Oleg to defend against the tide of monsters. Naturally, it is difficult for 2 people to resist the tide of monsters that swept across the entire southern border. Of course, this is not Vic. The dereliction of duty of the multi-commander, but the political method of the command of Victor, according to the transfer order, the Tenth Army will solidify the central part of the southern border, and will no longer rush to the southwest and southeast, and the southwest is the most deeply rooted and leafy province of the nobility. One, there is Grand Duke Nicholas guarding there, and Grand Duke Nicholas and the Southwest nobles will not sit back and watch the tide of monsters sweep the whole territory, and will inevitably choose to send troops to resist. Although this move will make it more difficult to recover the Southwest in the future, but right now It is indeed a coup for the interim government.

The southeast is mainly to consume the strength of the nobles, so that the situation there can be closer to the central province. Besides, there are two other legions here that are firmly controlled by the nobles. There are two permanent legions deployed in the southeast and southwest , but generally most of the southwestern, southeastern provinces and the southern region in the middle have been defended by General Oleg's two legions. Therefore, it should not be a big problem to complete the basic resistance to the tide of monsters.

There are a total of six legions in charge of the usual southern border defense, one in each of the two southern provinces is responsible for the westernmost or easternmost corner defense, and then there are two of Oleg, and the two originally commanded by His Majesty Alexander , and now, the two legions commanded by Marshal Schvanov are exactly the two legions commanded by His Majesty Alexander.

Schvanov discussed countermeasures with Oleg and others as early as the day he was transferred from the royal city, and made a plan. It is precisely in this way that the legions of the nobles among the two officers did not die because of the drastic changes in the royal city. Mutiny, they concealed the inside story of the royal city, only said that His Majesty Alexander has now become the new lord, and the original central provincial nobles launched a rebellion because they were dissatisfied with His Majesty Alexander's boarding ceremony, so they rushed back to Beijing to defend the royal city.

These nobles were also skeptical, but finally believed because they saw His Majesty Alexander's personal letter. After all, most of these nobles came from the southern region and southeastern provinces. In fact, because of the perennial resistance, they were not very clear about the political struggle in the royal city. To what extent it has developed, they only know that Alexander is the legitimate heir to the throne, and rebelling against His Majesty Alexander is tantamount to treason, so they accepted Shivanov's dispatch and immediately began to rush back to the royal city.

"Marshal! The scouts in the front reported that there were traces of the army passing by a hundred miles away from here. According to their estimates and the extent of the traces, this army may be less than a hundred miles away from our army."

A light cavalryman on a horse rushed over and delivered the information to Marshal Schvanov. Marshal Schvanov opened it and frowned, and handed it to Count Kratos next to him. He was the first A permanent general of the Sixth Army, generally as long as there is no one to lead him, the Sixth Army is his biggest.

"It is expected to meet tomorrow. I guess the Griffon Cavalry has already fought." Earl Kratos passed the information to the others and said to Marshal Schvanov.

"According to their marching speed and our marching speed, at what position can we meet?"

The lieutenant next to him held a small map and handed it to the two of them. Schvanov and Kratos studied it carefully, and finally made an inference based on the intelligence.

"That's right, there are some hills near here, but all in all, it's relatively flat. After all, we've reached the Adali Plain." Earl Kratos pointed to the map and said.

"We must find a way, seize the opportunity, and go on a night road tonight for a period of time, as far as possible, but not too close. Tomorrow morning, the cavalry will be ready to move, keep them here, and fight well preparations." Marshal Schvanov decided.

"Whether they can stay or not is a big problem. The soldiers have been on the road for many days. I don't recommend fighting at night. You must have a good night's rest. Therefore, my suggestion is that you must intercept and delay their marching speed from now on. , You can send light cavalry to harass, make sure they can't pass through this hilly landscape before we arrive tomorrow, force them to fight and give up marching." Earl Kratos said again.

"I agree with Earl Kratos' thoughts. We have two legions. Generally, the enemy will not choose to fight with us when they are outnumbered. According to the deployment of our army, we will go from the southwest direction of the Central Province to the northwest. Marching in the direction of the army, this legion can immediately contact the second legion guarding the western region. Because the first legion of Isiris is still in the northwest region, it will not be able to come to meet up soon. Therefore, we must Stop them here to prevent the Hyperion Legion from converging with the Second Legion, and by then, our numerical advantage will no longer exist."

Earl Anwen, the permanent general of the No.13 Legion, also rode over to join the discussion. The top generals of the United Legion quickly finalized the battle plan, and Earl Kratos made a gesture to the generals on horseback behind him. With a gesture of seven, three young and handsome officers immediately rode over and stood in front of the general to salute. These three were the two light cavalry brigade commanders of the Sixth Army, and they were orthodox noble children.

"Three, lead the [-]st Cavalry Brigade and the [-]nd Cavalry Brigade to set off immediately, and the [-]rd Cavalry Brigade will support them. By the way, where is Master Robien? What did he do?" Earl Kratos asked the mission.

"The commander-in-chief went to the cavalry division to check the situation. He seldom stayed with us. He always said that it was more comfortable to stay with the soldiers." One of the brigade commanders said with a smile.

"This guy, he's not in good shape... How about this, the third brigade commander, you go to Mr. Robien, and the two of you lead the third brigade to be on guard, so as to prevent the other party from harassing when the cavalry is dispatched. Of course, generally speaking, they It won't be like this, especially under the inferior force." Earl Kratos said with a smile.

"Ah? Doesn't that mean I didn't fight?" the third brigade commander asked with a downcast face.

"You boy! There will be your battle tomorrow!" Kratos waved his whip and was about to scare him. The third brigade commander hurriedly rode his horse and ran away, saluted Earl Kratos and set off with the other two up.

"How's the situation in the royal city? Marshal Shivanov?" Earl Anwen asked Shivanov again. Shivanov hesitated for a moment, conceived his words before answering:

"Everything is fine, now that most of the nobles have fled due to dissatisfaction, many officials can only be filled, and the nobles cannot participate in politics, but rest assured, with His Majesty Alexander around for a day, our life will be very stable, rebellious After all, it is a minority, and I believe that most nobles are still very reasonable."

"Has the quota for the new nobleman not been set yet? I think Victor must be an earl, right?" Earl An Wen replied with a smile.

"It's not just Victor's leftist minister. I think you and General Oleg are at least earls. This would be good. They are nobles and can mediate conflicts between the army and officials. This will stabilize the government in the future. Like His Majesty Ivan back then, the quarrel was so stalemate because both sides refused to make concessions, which eventually led to a rebellion." Earl Kratos sighed.

"His Majesty Alexander is a model of a benevolent monarch. From now on, we will unite around His Majesty Alexander and protect the country well."

"Let me congratulate you first, Count Schwanov. By then, I think I can make a baby kiss."

"Kratos, your daughter is not too young, why, do you still want the sword to be whole before it's old?"

"Hahaha, then I would like to thank the two Earls for their kind words."

Marshal Shivanov looked happy on the surface, but he sneered secretly in his heart. Now it is just a tactic to slow down the troops. When the city meets General Oleg, these nobles...

In the discussion between Commander Victor and Sun Boyang, it is not that he did not consider wooing the nobles, but this wooing does not include the big nobles. The big nobles are inevitably diehards. As long as they exist for a day, the struggle will never stop. Therefore, they come from that side In other words, whether it is political needs or otherwise, it must be eliminated.

Marshal Schvanov picked up his binoculars again, and subconsciously touched the medal on the chest of his military uniform. Now that he is a marshal, he will be an important minister of the new government in the future. The future form will not be decided by the nobles. , His Majesty Alexander lost power, and now the royal city is controlled by the officials, and no one restricts their lives, which is much better than having a king restricting them.

……

The nobles had already thrown away all their property, which was necessary in order to travel. They even abandoned their servants, but fled out together with the Grand Knights in disgrace. Among them were pale-faced members of the royal family, the three princesses. Holding Koichiro's hand tightly, no matter how stupid she is, she knows that her fate will not be better than that of her brother Alexander in the future. The only thing she can rely on is this brave man without any background. This is her trump card. That's why she hasn't broken down yet.

In her eyes, Koichiro is extremely controllable and possesses great force.This kind of silly, white and sweet person will give up his heart as long as he is blown away by her, and the reality is just like this. During this time, Lao Yuan decided to concentrate on observing the form and thinking about the future development, and kept asking Xiaoichiro to come forward. Under the "playing stupid" from the heart, no nobleman thinks that Koichiro is pretending to be stupid, even the most picky nobleman thinks that there is no doubt that this is a standard brawny, small-brained guy.

Everyone is trying their best to maintain a fairytale image to deceive Koichiro, even Knight Commander Isiris felt that he was worrying too much that day?It's impossible for this guy to pretend the way he looks these days?Maybe it was really just to pretend to be cool that day, he gradually let go of his heart and threw himself into acting again, but he didn't know that while they were making fun of Koichiro's stupidity, Lao Yuan was also watching their actions in Xiaoichiro's body, scolding them with a sneer Watch them idiots.

70 Hyperion

Lieutenant General Leioduo took off his binoculars and was worried. They had just had a brief contact with the enemy's light cavalry, and the marching speed was forced to be delayed. What's more, even if he received it, he would not be able to abandon some of his soldiers and flee directly. Doing so would be no different from surrendering. His combat mission was to protect Her Majesty, and lead the Hyperion Legion with Kunge who was coming from the west. Neil's second army united, and then waited for the first Dipolo army to join up. Only after the three forces converged would they attempt to launch an attack. Preparing to fight when the enemy was outnumbered would be tantamount to suicide.

He was about to say a few words to the other officers beside him, when the scouts in front rode over to report quickly.

"General Leodo! We have received His Majesty and the others!"

"what!?"

Leo Duo and the other officers looked at each other, and quickly followed the scouts on horseback. Now that the first combat mission is completed, their work will be much easier. The next step is to find a way to meet safely and avoid a decisive battle. What's more, I heard that with the help of the brave, there shouldn't be too much trouble to accept.

"Your Majesty, I am late to save you!"

Leodo and the others galloped to the small village in front of them. They saw a large group of nobles waving to them tired and hungry, and saw Count Karashov walking towards them with strength. The people hurriedly got off their horses and saluted Count Karashov. Count Karashov waved his hand to indicate that it didn't matter, and walked forward with these officers.

Leodo saw the tired-looking royal family again. It seemed that they had suffered a lot in the past few days. The guy in charge of the logistics had already hurriedly prepared the meal, but he didn’t know if the rough food, these elders, could eat it. Swallow it.

"This is Lord Brave, Koichiro Yamamoto."

Count Karashov introduced to Leo, and Leo immediately bowed to salute, and Koichiro also smiled and waved his hands and said no need to do this, no need to do this.

"Now our lord, His Majesty Aisha, this is the Earl of Isiris, that is the Earl of Alama, I won't introduce much about the others, yes, and my son, he will be the deputy general of the legion in the future Now, Leo, you have to help him understand how to work in the army." Count Karashov rubbed his temples and said.

"I have seen Your Majesty, the two Earls, and the Young Master." Although Lei Ao Duo was also a nobleman, he was actually a baron, so he naturally had to salute them respectfully.

"You don't need to be too polite, general, let's talk about the deployment of the battle. Also, I think it's time to prepare some meals for His Majesty to enjoy." Earl Alama said quickly.

"Okay, the guys are already cooking in a hurry, now I will report the combat deployment for the adults."

Several commuters came up to salute, and quickly assembled a large table with a tiled map for the adults to see.

"The place we are in is a semi-plain terrain with certain hills. There is almost no danger to defend here. In the face of a situation where the enemy is outnumbered, my suggestion is to retreat quickly and contact Kunganir as soon as possible. The legions converge to maintain the most basic equality of forces and prevent the opponent from waiting for an opportunity to fight."

Leodo's grades in the military academy were excellent, which was why he joined the Hyperion Legion as soon as he graduated. It may be a beautiful thing to command the army under the command of Count Karashov.

"The enemy has a total of two armies, namely the Sixth Army of Obiagen and the No.13 Army of Kraken. These two armies have a total of about 4 people, and the number of cavalry is higher than that of many armies. Therefore, we will face A large number of light cavalry raids, but the number of heavy cavalry in these two legions is relatively small. Although the number of heavy cavalry in our army cannot completely overwhelm the opponent, it can also form a stalemate." Leo Duo took out several small flags and put them on the ground. Said on the map.

"Just today, we have been attacked by two cavalry brigades, and our marching speed has been forced to drop, so we can only march in a slower manner. The Griffon air cavalry have also engaged in a firefight. Fortunately, no magician was killed. In the case of the attack, the mage formation was not under any attack."

"Then your idea is that you must continue to retreat?" Earl Alama asked.

"Yes, I plan that the Griffin Air Cavalry will be divided into three teams to guard around the clock. The cavalry will be divided into two parts. One will break away from the troops and wait for an opportunity to counter-harass, and the other will intercept the opponent's cavalry in advance with the support of the Griffin Air Cavalry. , If this method is followed, I suggest continuing to march along this hilly area, so that it will be difficult for the opponent's cavalry to launch effective harassment later, and we can also evacuate here as soon as possible."

"I said Baron Leodo, Hyperion is the most elite legion after the first and second legions. Even if they are outnumbered, you can repel them and march calmly." Earl Alama suddenly interrupted and asked. arrive.

"Master Earl, combat is not..."

"Okay, don't say any more." Earl Alama waved his hand and refused.

"Count Karashov, I suggest that we launch a positional battle here, and take advantage of the favorable terrain of this hill to conduct blocking operations before retreating." Count Alama said to Count Karashov on the side.

"Lord Earl..." Leodo looked nervously at Count Karashov. Count Karashov's face was cloudy and cloudy. He cast a questioning look at His Majesty and the brave man, but what responded to them was exhaustion, Your Majesty. He was exhausted from the journey during this period, and urgently needed to rest. Although the brave man was powerful, he didn't understand military affairs at all. He even nodded in response to Earl Alama, thinking that what he said was very reasonable?

"Count Isiris, what do you think?" Count Karashov looked down at the map helplessly and asked.

"The hilly area is suitable for magician troops to carry out superior magic strikes, and the wide field of vision is enough for magicians to give full play to their strength."

Count Isiris exchanged glances with Count Alama, and he neither agreed nor objected.

"If everyone thinks so, then prepare to defend against the mountain and fight tomorrow." Earl Karashov sighed.

"Master Earl! You can't do this!" Leo Duo was anxious, and quickly waved his hand to object.

"Shut up! With the brave man here, do you still have to worry about losing the battle!?" Earl Alama roared pretending to be fierce, Leo Duo's throat moved, and finally he could only lower his head and say nothing.

"Uncle, do you think what they said is right?"

Koichiro on the other side was not idle either, and hurriedly asked Lao Yuan.

"Do you think it's right?" Old Yuan asked back.

"I think it's quite right..."

"That's right! The height of this broken hill is not more than a hundred meters. There is not even a tree on it. It is still condescending and relying on dangerous terrain. He is right! This old man, probably the only knowledge of the art of war It’s just a novel, it never commanded an army at all.”

Lao Yuan was laughed at by Xiaoichiro's ignorance. He laughed and said that he felt ridiculous about Earl Alama's stupid decision, but in fact he could understand it. Thoughts, in his eyes, war is not a simple war, and it needs to be mixed with many political purposes. He has seen this kind of situation a lot, and he has long been accustomed to it. It can even be said that the imperial court did not care about the battle. In the end, it wasn't all the army that was forced to serve the government and change various combat plans. In this case, he was no stranger to it.

"War is not a child's play, it is very cruel. I was familiar with these when I was studying the art of war. Look, this kind of advantage is basically negligible. At most, it is the so-called advantage that can be manipulated a little. A leader... Well, almost, it is very difficult for a leader to make up his mind to fight, not to mention the current inferior military strength, as long as the ideas of this group of nobles get mixed up, just watch, you will definitely not be able to run away and lose the battle .”

"There's no need to be so pessimistic, right? I think everyone is still very strong, and the other party must be fine..." Koichiro asked hesitantly.

"That's lying to you. Think about it. These are the most regular troops in this country. They are not rebels or refugees. They are all elite soldiers and generals. Listen to them one by one every day. The brave man can outnumber thousands of soldiers." Army, Mr. Brave, the other party is nothing to be afraid of, nonsense, you let them go into battle, you will understand after a look, the enemy army is twice as large as mine, this is not what you talked about with me in the past two days. According to my experience, our army’s winning rate is less than [-]%, and the amount of support is [-]%.”

"A lot, three to four percent."

"Thirty to forty percent is not a lot if it is in other things, but boy, this is a war, not to mention three or four percent, even if it is [-]%, or even [-]%, you have to carefully consider whether you want to fight this decisively, you still should Whatever it is, I will rest for a while to watch their actions, and I will host it at a critical moment, after all, your magic is much more suitable than mine."

"That's right! Don't overuse it, wait for the opportunity and respond flexibly!" Lao Yuan added.

"General, the meal is ready." An adjutant came up to report and directed the cook to serve the dishes.

"Just eat this kind of thing?" Not only those nobles and His Majesty, but even Koichiro frowned and was dumbfounded. What is this?What, it doesn't look like human can eat?

"What? Isn't this very good? The food is okay, the pickles, and dried meat...even the sauce is prepared for you, and even the rice is prepared for you! It's plain rice for you! After fighting a battle and marching so quickly, the officer can still keep it. This kind of food is enough to show that the logistics are good, and this is probably the best thing they have." Lao Yuan asked strangely.

"This……"

"Hey, the spoiled child is like this, go back and let me go, look, this jerky..."
