"The time has come for the expedition
You look into my eyes uneasily
I capture the atmosphere of my hometown
There was a thunderstorm on the distant plains
The chaotic magic turbulence is trembling
A worried look appears on the temples
Ancestors and gods are calling us
The wind blows from between the black horse's hooves
. . . . . "
In the early morning, Nila was teaching a few girls to sing the song "composed" by Lant for the demon-free people in Zuoying. The song "Farewell Song of the Galloping Horseman" was much more complicated than the previous song, but the singing and dancing girls still Learned it quickly.
Nila had to study for several days, and was forced to learn the lyrics and tune before she could sing the song in one piece.
Lant would sing this song again with his sister every night. For Nila, being able to maintain daily contact with Lant as the lord was also the best guarantee of her status.
Although her voice is not as good as that of the girls who specialize in singing songs, Nila is still willing to teach the children sentence by sentence.
The fastest learner of all the children was a girl named Little Cardinal. More than just singing, this 8-year-old girl is learning to write and write very quickly.
Nila is very optimistic about Little Cardinal and feels that this is the first batch of Lant’s children. He should be very satisfied with Little Cardinal in all aspects.
"Ms. Nila?" Nancy came over to take the little red bird away for class. "Can I take the little red bird away?"
Many demon-free people in the left camp believe that Lady Neela, who has a special status, is looking for a personal maid for Lord Lant.
In a baron's castle, there can be 20 female members of the baron's family, let alone a viscount.
Nowadays, the number of Lant's subjects is equal to that of the Viscount, and it is normal to find some smart, obedient, and eye-catching maids from among the subjects.
But Nancy doesn't think so. Nobles will not let their servants know too many words, which is not conducive to the nobles covering up their ignorance and vulgarity in front of their servants.
Nancy believes that Lant's request to make all children literate is to let the children take on the work of the territory. After all, these demon-free people were rescued by Lant personally, and they will be more secure to use than those who defected from other areas. Therefore, Nancy The little red sparrow is being trained as a future territorial teacher.
The children were divided into 3 classes. After getting up every morning, they would do physical exercises first, and then take literacy, arithmetic and general education courses respectively. Nancy taught the literacy class and led the students to recognize letters and simple words. If they have the basics, The best is to read simple story books.
Arithmetic is temporarily taught by Makoto, who is a rare person in the territory who can calculate accounts. The course mainly focuses on number recognition and addition and subtraction within 10.
The general knowledge is told by several stewards, telling the legendary story of the human empire and the Galloping Horse Plains.
As the teacher of all children, Nancy rarely has a large round tent. During class, the children sit in the tent and study.
As a Chinese language teacher, Nancy has to teach children in all three classes one morning. Nancy will prepare "teaching materials" in advance, which are papers with letters and simple words written on them. Each child's task in a class is to memorize the paper. letters or words on.
Children have different foundations and different receptive abilities. Like Makoto, Nancy can't take the children to count the numbers several times and just teach them addition and subtraction. Nor can she teach the children in turns like the housekeepers, just It’s very hard to teach all the children by yourself.
Therefore, he valued the smart little red bird more and hoped that this girl could support the work of a writing teacher for the Demon-Free Ones in the future.
Towards noon, the children would eat roti with meat scraps and mutton soup. The mutton soup was naturally left over from yesterday, and the meatloaf was also made last night. Rand asked for guaranteed rations for the children. Now all the poultry has never been on the table. The children can get half a wild goose egg or a pine egg every day. .
This kind of preferential treatment was even considered by Albert to be a waste, but Lant was extremely insistent on ensuring that all children had meat, eggs, and milk.
In the afternoon, the children will be divided into various small camps, and the craftsmen will teach the children specific skills. Some older boys will also train with the preparatory knights, hoping to inspire the blood of the demon-bearers.
Little Red Bird is a curious girl. She always likes to try and let different craftsmen teach her different knowledge.
For example, when the old cobbler taught the separation of animal hides, you must be careful not to damage the hide when separating the skin and flesh. If it is a Warcraft, you must also pay attention to the lines on the Warcraft skin itself. This is a craft that requires both physical strength and eyesight. Many When the child first started learning, he was still somewhat interested. After two days, he became tired and bored and no longer wanted to learn.
On the contrary, it is a small knife handle. As the child of a cobbler, although I only played with mud in the camp before, once I really got started, I showed my rare talent and interest.
Now Xiao Shan is considered a qualified cobbler's apprentice, and every afternoon he helps adults separate the skin and flesh of freshly slaughtered long-haired sheep. The old cobbler was very grateful to the lord for allowing the children to learn skills, but he also felt that it was a waste of time to let the little handle learn writing in the morning.
Of course, no matter what the old cobbler thinks, Lant's orders must be carried out throughout the camp.
Looking at the small sheepskin knife handles being washed with the adults by the river, the little red bird didn't understand why washing the blood-soaked sheepskins could be so fun.
Little Cardinal wants to go to the showgirl's tent to learn the farewell song today. Nila is willing to teach Little Cardinal every day. Little Cardinal knows that she should learn it faster to make Nila happier.
The tent of the singing and dancing girls is right next to the main tent of Lant. There are always many girls learning to sing and dance in their tents. Many parents of non-demon specially emphasize to their children to let them come over and strive to win the favor of the lord. .
However, in the entire singing and dancing tent, the one who learned the fastest was a barbarian girl: Qiucao.
Qiucao is not tall and has big eyes. Unlike most of the children in the camp who have human mothers, Qiucao's parents are barbarians. Her mother passed away very early and her father went on an expedition with the Gray Goose tribe.
Qiucao grew up in the badger camp. She loved to watch singing and dancing. She also learned quickly and was very popular among the singing and dancing teachers in the tent.
Qiucao's voice is slightly hoarse, and her dance movements are full and wide, giving it a feeling of barbarian wrestling. Although the movements are awkward, Qiucao's rhythm is very strong, and it has a unique dynamic effect when paired with the tambourine.
Teachers' dance classes often turn into Qiucao's solo dance performances. Qiucao not only likes to dance by herself, but also dances with teachers or other classmates.
While Qiucao was dancing and spinning, the little red bird even felt that a beam of light descended from the roof of the tent, hitting Qiucao's head.
Seeing Qiucao dancing in a unique style and singing a farewell song while dancing, Little Red Bird suddenly doubted whether Nila's claim that she sang well was true.
The little red bird tried to dance a few times according to the dance teacher's instructions. Within a few minutes, she fell several times. Under various blows, the little red bird left the singing and dancing tent.
