As a result, the school in Qingshui Lake was built earlier and on a larger scale than in the Hope Gathering Area.
After entering the Qingshui Lake gathering place, Fang Xiaoyue made some inquiries.
The schools in Qingshui Lake are divided into primary and secondary schools.
The primary school curriculum lasts four years, and the secondary school curriculum also lasts four years. The schools offer more courses than those in hope gathering places.
In addition to Chinese and mathematics, there are also courses in nature, geography, physics, chemistry, etc. There are even courses in mechanical maintenance in middle schools, which can be called a hodgepodge.
Of course, this is not surprising. The ultimate goal of opening schools in gathering places is to cultivate and deliver talents for the gathering places themselves.
Especially at this time, there is a severe shortage of talents such as mechanical maintenance, and talents such as mechanical maintenance determine the war potential of a gathering place.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the school is like a hodgepodge.
Fang Xiaoyue just wanted Wang Xiaoya to learn some new words in school, and it was a surprise to be able to learn mathematics, nature, geography and other knowledge.
But you get what you pay for, and compared to places where hope gathers, the tuition here is sky-high.
Unless you are willing to sign a contract for your child to join a factory in a gathering place after graduation, you will have to pay a fortune.
As I said before, the purpose of opening schools in gathering places is to cultivate their own talents. Therefore, if you sign such a contract, it will not be free or cheap.
Fang Xiaoyue calculated what he had on hand and found that it was impossible to make such a large sum of money in a short period of time.
Unless he is willing to sell the elixir he refined.
But he didn't want to do that at all.
As a result, Fang Xiaoyue could only leave the school in despair.
Wang Xiaoya was very happy that her brother had no money to send her to school.
After returning to the rented house, she was so happy that she almost jumped up.
In the next few days, Fang Xiaoyue conducted a survey of the Qingshui Lake gathering area and decided to open a grocery store here.
After all, buying low and selling high is the only way to make money from stock trading at any time.
You must first have a fixed store before you can do business better.
The stores in Qingshui Lake Gathering are all owned by the Gathering Official. The rent is not cheap, but Fang Xiaoyue can barely afford it.
Soon, with his busy work, the grocery store was officially opened.
Wang Xiaoya, who failed to enter school, worked as a clerk in a grocery store. Fang Xiaoyue taught her some new words and mathematical formulas by the way, so that she would not become illiterate.
In the early days, Fang Xiaoyue mainly relied on Fang Xiaoyue to organize the supply of goods for the grocery store.
For example, the ores collected in the wild can be made into weapons by oneself, herbs can be made into powder and mixed with hemostatic ointment, etc.
Things like hemostatic ointment are one of the most popular products in major gathering places. Whenever someone goes out in the wild, they will bring a few bags with them to prevent accidents.
Most of the differences in this product are due to the refining techniques and the quality of the herbs.
Because Fang Xiaoyue's products were of high quality and had a good reputation among the public, it didn't take long for the business to flourish.
If such a step-by-step operation continues, it won't be long before Fang Xiaoyue can expand her store and expand her business scale. She may even become a legendary businessman in the Qingshui Lake gathering place.
But trouble soon came.
This morning, Fang Xiaoyue just opened the door, took Wang Xiaoya to clean the store, and then sat at the cashier with a tea cup, enjoying the warm sunshine in the morning with dull eyes.
Wang Xiaoya frowned, lying in front of a small table, sitting with Fang Xiaoyue asking her arithmetic problems. The content was roughly the unit price of a certain product, how many pieces of the product a customer came to buy, and then asked the customer to pay. How much.
The additional question is how much change the cashier needs.
Well, this kind of arithmetic problem is mainly because something went wrong when Wang Xiaoya collected the money yesterday.
Yesterday, a customer bought two packs of hemostatic ointment. The price of the hemostatic ointment in Fang Xiaoyue's grocery store was 6 yuan per pack, and the customer gave him 20 yuan in clear water coins.
As a result, Wang Xiaoya, who frequently had problems settling accounts, gave others 10 yuan in compensation.
After being discovered by Fang Xiaoyue, Wang Xiaoya said adamantly that it was because the store was offering discounts.
Fang Xiaoyue almost became so angry that she vomited blood.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoya's computing power was specially strengthened. Otherwise, if she was away, Wang Xiaoya could run out of money in this grocery store in one day.
This originally peaceful morning was soon broken.
A group of people rushed in from the gate of the gathering place, most of them carrying injured people on their backs, and they rushed towards the grocery store.
The Qingshui Lake gathering place is specially equipped with doctors, but due to the scarcity of doctors, most people cannot afford the personal treatment of doctors.
Generally, when you get sick, you grab some herbal medicine or fight it off. If you are injured, you try to apply hemostatic cream as much as possible.
"Boss! Buy 20 packs of hemostatic cream."
Fang Xiaoyue's eyes lit up when she heard this. It was a good sign that business came to her door shortly after opening this morning.
He hurriedly stepped forward to help those people lift the injured person off his back, and Wang Xiaoya also brought the hemostatic ointment over.
After this period of operation, many people knew that the grocery store owner had some medical skills, so they were willing to let him help.
Fang Xiaoyue first asked everyone to hold down the injured, then debrided the wounds one by one with salt water, and then took out the prepared needles and thread to suture the wounds.
Some of the injured even had their intestines falling out, while others suffered internal injuries.
Such an injury would have taken several hours to heal in a pre-war hospital.
But although the conditions here are simple, Fang Xiaoyue still has level 10 Western medicine, plus the legendary level 1 Chinese medicine, so after more than two hours, all the injured were treated.
Of course, because of the limited conditions, the lack of a sterile operating room, and the lack of medicines, the only thing left to do was to see the lives of these injured people.
However, Fang Xiaoyue also prepared some herbs for them to take or use to clean wounds.
After finishing all this, Fang Xiaoyue, who was sweating profusely, asked what happened.
After seeing Fang Xiaoyue's medical treatment, these people undoubtedly respected Fang Xiaoyue even more. When they saw him asking questions, they did not hesitate and immediately told all their experiences.
It turned out that they were a caravan traveling between Qingshui Lake and other gathering places, but this time they encountered a group of man-eating rats 5 kilometers outside Qingshui Lake.
This kind of man-eating rats didn't just appear now. In fact, they existed after the war. It's just that they like to chew on human corpses, so they were named man-eating rats.
But this kind of man-eating rats never had the courage to attack humans in the past. They are a relatively small type of rats, and the largest ones are only the size of a palm. They have no chance of winning against humans.
And this kind of man-eating rats can be regarded as the bottom cleaners in the wild biological chain. They eat the roots of plants, fruits, animal carcasses, etc., and have made great contributions to the environmental protection in the wild.
At the same time, man-eating rats are also one of the food sources for many large and small carnivores.
But for some reason, in the past month or so, incidents of man-eating rats hurting people have occurred frequently.
Of course, when man-eating rats hurt people in the past, they mostly just bit the calf or toes.
But today's attack on the caravan can be called the pinnacle of human-eating rats.
Of the more than thirty people, six were killed by man-eating rats on the spot, and a dozen others were injured.
As soon as the news came out, the entire Qingshui Lake gathering place was shaken.
This is as shocking as hearing before the war that the mosquitoes there were sucking people's blood to death.
After all, in the eyes of humans, man-eating rats are just little fleas that do no harm.
Of course, the quickest response from the senior management of the gathering place was to launch a rodent eradication campaign within the gathering place.
Yes, there are man-eating rats in the gathering place.
It's just that these man-eating rats are generally unlikely to reproduce too much. As long as they are seen by people, they will be beaten to death or poisoned to death.
After all, man-eating rats are also rats. They will chew up furniture in gathering places, steal food, and spread some diseases.
Fang Xiaoyue didn't have any opinion on this, but actively responded to the call for rodent control.
No way, what a grocery store like his hates most is rats.
Those rats would take advantage of the night to steal herbs, food, and even the elixirs that Fang Xiaoyue had refined!
This is undoubtedly the most intolerable thing for Fang Xiaoyue.
You must know that the elixirs he is refining now consume a lot of herbs and ores, and he spends a lot of energy and time during this process.
And what he was most worried about was that the rats became stronger after secretly eating the elixir.
Especially for some rats that secretly eat bloodline pills, their enhanced bloodlines can even be passed down.
Although he has cleaned up all the rats hidden inside and outside the grocery store, it is not ruled out that some rats have escaped.
After all, the Bloodline Pill can not only enhance the bloodline, but also improve the IQ of animals.
Top raptors like Xiao Yinzi can rise from the IQ of a five- or six-year-old child to that of a ten-year-old. Those mice are already smarter. Once they improve, they also know how to seek good luck and avoid harm. They know that grocery store owners are not easy to mess with, so naturally they will Escape from here.
The entire rat eradication campaign lasted for three full days. The number of rats killed in the gathering area and killed by poison exceeded tens of thousands.
But what happened at the same time was that the caravans traveling between Qingshui Lake and other gathering places and even the prospecting teams were frequently attacked by man-eating rats.
Of course, due to the previous incident of man-eating rats attacking people, these outgoing caravans and hunting teams have strengthened their defenses in this regard.
For example, tie thick leather armor to your calves, wear thick leather shoes, prepare some iron swatters on the caravan's oxcart to deal with man-eating rats, etc.
Such preparations undoubtedly played a huge role in dealing with man-eating rats.
Of course, the senior management of the gathering place also sent people to investigate why the man-eating rats went crazy.
However, after sending many teams to investigate, some of the information obtained made the senior management of the gathering place feel shocked.
Centered on the Qingshui Lake gathering place, within a radius of more than 100 kilometers, rat swarms abound. During the period, the largest rat swarm numbered no less than one hundred thousand, while the smallest rat swarm numbered tens of thousands.
Adding up these large and small groups of rats, the number of man-eating rats reaches millions.
Most of the vegetation around these rats has been eaten away, and even the various animals that live on them have become food for the rats.
This is not surprising. Although man-eating rats are small in size, once their numbers increase, not to mention those spotted deer and rabbits, even giants like oxen will bite and attack continuously once they are surrounded by rats. , as time goes on, he can only fall to the ground and die.
As for the various natural enemies of man-eating rats, such as foxes, eagles, wild cats and other ferocious beasts, they may be able to easily kill one or two man-eating rats as prey, and even a group of rats cannot kill these flexible natural enemies. Surround and destroy.
But there are too many man-eating rats, so many that they can continuously chase these natural enemies, preventing these natural enemies from having enough time to rest, hunt, and eat.
Even the nests of natural enemies are attacked by rats, and their offspring often easily become food for man-eating rats.
At the same time, the reproductive capacity of man-eating rats exploded after losing the control of natural enemies. Basically, every month, the number of man-eating rats increased three to four times.
The number of man-eating rats increased dramatically in a short period of time, but the total amount of food was only so much, and a large number of cannibal rats even gnawed away all the roots of underground plants.
In the absence of food, it is common for these man-eating rats to kill each other.
Once humans get close to them, they will be attacked by crazy rats.
After discovering the situation of man-eating rats, the senior management of Qingshui Lake Gathering Area immediately issued a reward mission for hunting man-eating rats in the wild.
This is not surprising, even a fool knows the seriousness of the problem by this time.
When the man-eating rats run out of food, they are likely to target the nearby Qingshui Lake gathering place.
After all, humans are the best food for those hungry man-eating rats.
Under the temptation of high rewards, hunting teams in the gathering area set off one after another to hunt man-eating rats in the wild.
It should be said that under human wisdom, those man-eating rats are really no match.
The hunting team came up with many ways to deal with those man-eating rats.
For example, by digging a large pit on the ground and placing food bait and burning objects in the pit, you can easily attract a large number of man-eating rats. Then, by igniting the burning objects, you can easily kill thousands of cannibal rats. Rats burned to ashes.
The same method is to dig a big pit, put food bait, and after attracting a large number of man-eating rats, dig a river and divert water to flood it, etc.
All in all, in the first week, those hunting teams achieved great results and killed more than 200,000 man-eating rats.
In the second week, the hunting team killed more man-eating rats, with the number exceeding 400,000.
There is no doubt that this has greatly reduced the number of man-eating rats, so much so that the cannibal rats that used to attack madly when they saw humans now run away immediately when they see humans.
