Urban Alchemist

Chapter 273 Mountain Village Life 2

Xiao Yun hunts and goes to the county every five days. The county is dozens of miles away from this small mountain village. Xiao Yun goes to the county to hunt and sell his prey. At the same time, he buys some daily necessities, and also scouts the people in the county.

After all, the county is a must-see for overseas direct trading points. There are not many outsiders here, and it is easy to scout.

At the same time, Xiao Yun also got in touch with Solo, knowing that Solo had become an English teacher in an educational institution. This makes Xiao Yun feel more or less ironic.

No one will believe that a pirate can become an English teacher. However, the fact is that Solo not only became a teacher, but also lived in a couple's dormitory arranged for him by an educational institution.

Xiao Yun contacted Solo by writing a letter, but the address left by Xiao Yun was a small restaurant next to the county. Xiao Yun asked the boss there to receive the letter, and every time Xiao Yun came to pick up the letter, he would give the boss some game.

In a blink of an eye, 20 days have passed. In addition to routinely scouting in the county every week and routine scouting at the junction every day, Xiao Yun is living a plain life with Xuehu and Qin Qingwu.

To the west of where Xiao Yun and others live, there is a bamboo building about the same size as where Xiao Yun and others live, which is the primary school in the village.

Every day, when Xiao Yun scouts and returns in the early morning, he will see the children in the village made into schoolbags by broken flowers and run to the bamboo building to read. The bamboo building is between the junction and Xiao Yun's bamboo building, so every time Xiao Yun goes to the junction for reconnaissance, he will pass by there. Over time, Xiao Yun also knows more or less about that primary school.

There is only one teacher here, and there are only a dozen children reading. The teacher is a young girl who looks very quiet. In order to make Xuehu and Qin Qingwu behave more normally, Xiao Yun paid money for the two of them to learn Chinese.

After all, in case Qin Qingwu blurt out a Chinese language one day, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of others. Because they don't know the specific connection time, Xiao Yun and others are ready to squat for a long time.

And the young girl is obviously very curious about Xiao Yun passing by the bamboo building in the early morning and evening every day. Therefore, every time Xiao Yun passes by, she always talks to Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun deliberately talked to her in Chinese. The girl taught Xiao Yun the correct pronunciation with a smile.

Through conversation, Xiao Yun knew that the girl was a college student. After graduation, she did not choose to stay in the city, but chose to return to the place where she was born.

And Xiao Yun praised her knowledge. At this time, the girl looked very shy, saying that she was just a college student, not an undergraduate. In fact, she also wants to stay in the city, but the city is too competitive. She had to choose to leave the city and return to this barren but simple place. While teaching the children in the village, she took the self-examination and preparing for a civil servant.

Originally, Xiao Yun supported this girl's persistence. After all, it is not easy for a girl to know how to keep her heart and where her goal is. Especially for college students, most of them are turned into waste by the network they come into. They don't know at all that after they leave school, what they need is the courses taught in their university, not the junk information they come into contact with on the Internet.

And these college students tend to look up to the top until one day, they are eliminated by this real world, and then become cynics and die in complaining every day.

This girl is different. She knows that the city is very competitive, so she can only choose to leave and then choose to take another path while teaching in the small mountain village. It doesn't matter whether this road can be walked or not, but what is certain is that she knows which way to go.

However, after Xiao Yun understood the reason why the girl chose this road, he couldn't help sighing. The girl told him that when she was admitted to college, everyone in the village looked at her with worship, thinking that she finally flew out of the mountain village, finally went to the big city, and then became a glorious ancestor. It can bring great benefits to the people in the village.

However, when the girl returned to the mountain village, the people in the village found that they worshipped the wrong person, and the previous worship eyes became strange. Because of this, the girl hid in the mountain to teach the children, and then had to take the exam and become a civil servant.

Because only in this way can people in the village look at her more normally. It can be said that girls can't help themselves. She didn't want to do this, but she had to.

This reminds Xiao Yun of himself. Why is it that he is not something he doesn't want to do, but he is forced to do this?

The girl told Xiao Yun that although she studied hard by herself, she knew that it was very difficult to get into the civil service, and even if she really passed the exam, it was still unknown whether she could pass the interview. After all, that thing can't be achieved simply by hard work.

The girl told Xiao Yun some of her thoughts in her heart. Xiao Yun just smiled helplessly. When the girl saw this, she asked Xiao Yun if she felt that she was too arrogant, didn't know anything, and had no background, so she wanted to break through the single-plank bridge of one of thousands of people.

Xiao Yun didn't want to say anything more. After all, in this world, everyone can't help it. As big as the lord of a country, as small as the ordinary people, it is no better. Therefore, in a sense, the girl is just a microcosm of a thousand people.

However, Xiao Yun also knows that the girl is different from the two girls he met on the train. She can teach here, not just to take the civil service exam. If that's the case, she can teach in the county or somewhere else. With her education, it is not too difficult to find a teaching job in such a mountainous county. After all, there are no college students who want to come here in the mountains.

Therefore, Xiao Yun still wants to say to the girl, "You work hard and pass the exam. That's yours. If it doesn't belong to you, at least you work hard. Those things you study in school will eventually be useful to you. You know, the things you study in books are not for exams, but knowledge. To say something that can be heard, that is, knowledge is power. Maybe you may think that what you have learned is useless, but when you really use it, you will find that they are really useful.

The girl smiled shyly, looked at the sunset in the distance, and then said, "I don't know if you're right. All I know is that you're not me. You don't have that feeling about me. So, the choices you and I make are different..."

Xiao Yun smiled faintly and said, "If you really become a civil servant, you still can't bring benefits to the people in your village? What should you do?"

Hearing Xiao Yun say this, the girl was stunned and looked at Xiao Yun with confused eyes. After a while, the girl fell on her lap and cried. Xiao Yun knew that the reason why the girl cried was because she realized that the path she took did not necessarily ease her relationship with the people in her village. That is to say, her efforts and persistence have actually done countless useless efforts.

After experiencing the bloody storms in Africa, the ordinary life these days makes Xiao Yun have a sense of transcendence. This is a strange feeling, which is only available when practicing. Suddenly, Xiao Yun understood a very important thing, that is, his practice entered the next level: Huacheng.

Feeling the sudden breakthrough of his practice strength, Xiao Yun was naturally ecstatic. This proves that his self-preservation ability in the following battles has been greatly enhanced. At least, when facing the characters on the top ten killer list, although Xiao Yun will not have an overwhelming advantage over them, he will not have a feeling of being controlled everywhere.

In fact, if a martial artist who reaches the master's realm wants to go further, he can't achieve it by hard practice. Most of the time, he can't make a breakthrough in his whole life, but maybe he will make some breakthrough when he wakes up.

Xiao Yun belongs to the latter.

The bitter battle on the African continent made Xiao Yun have an extremely strong desire for power. He really wanted to break through as soon as possible, but first, there was no elixir, and second, there was no opportunity, so Xiao Yun could only be confined to the master's realm.

However, when he came to this small mountain village and lived a peaceful life for more than 20 days, he suddenly broke through. It was a breakthrough in his mood, which made Xiao Yun have a deeper understanding of his control of power. Therefore, Xiao Yun was very happy.

Xiao Yun really wants to tell the girl that he can break through because he put his peace of mind and enjoy the current peaceful life. If she can calm down, then she can also get some kind of sublimation. At least, they will treat the villagers coldly with a more ordinary mentality.

However, the pressure in her heart is too heavy. The cold eyes of the villagers, in this real world, are like a whip, constantly beating her soul. She no longer knows the value of her existence. All she knows is that if she wants to be relieved, she can only move forward in the direction of this whip.

Xiao Yun knew that it was useless to say that it was useless. He just gently patted the crying girl on the shoulder and left.

Because the girl insisted on not collecting the tuition fees of Qin Qingwu and Blood Fox, Xiao Yun always gave part of the prey to the girl.

As time went by, the old village head didn't come much after paying attention to Xiao Yun and others for a month. After all, the old village head has done a lot, and it is impossible to let others take care of him for a lifetime without 10,000 yuan.

In fact, the enthusiasm of the old village head also made Xiao Yun very embarrassed. If he doesn't come, Xiao Yun will be much more relaxed. The old village head did not come, but the owner of a tobacco hotel in the village came. He came here to send his wife's pickles. The blood fox is very interested in this kind of pickles.

Therefore, Xiao Yun often goes to the Yan Hotel to buy some daily necessities. Many things are like this. You come and go. Although the store owner wanted Xiao Yun and others to buy his things, he took the initiative to send pickles. But anyway, this is a relationship.

It's always like this between people. With this relationship, Xiao Yun would rather take two more steps to buy things from him instead of stopping to buy things elsewhere. Although, there is only one store like him in the village.

For a month, Xiao Yun's relationship with the village has been harmonious, especially Xiao Yun no longer carrying his prey to the village, which has also reduced the young man's hostility to him in the village.
