Chen Yi returned home with the money bag and met Hedwig's surprised look.
"Brother, did you also go hunting for silver coins?"
"Oh, how do you know?" Chen Yi opened the mezzanine of the cabinet and took out a small wooden box from inside.
Forty-six marked silver coins fell into the box, making a happy and crisp clang sound. Hedwig couldn't help but show her silver teeth and covered her mouth for a moment. This was a little too unreserved.
"I'm so lucky. Thank you Lord for your blessing." Hedwig clasped her hands together in prayer. She was wearing a long dress with a hem that reached her ankles.
Chen Yi's intuition was funny. Is my sister praying to me?
"I heard that you don't have to pay the religious tax as a punishment." Chen Yi said casually.
Hedwig said in surprise: "Really? Are you telling the truth?"
"This money came from the taxes collected by the baron and he threw it into the river. You see, it's all marked." Chen Yi explained
"May the Lord bless him." Hedwig said sincerely.
Hedwig's unintentional words fell on his ears. Chen Yi's thoughts moved, and he immediately smiled and said: "The Lord will do this, His will."
After putting away the small wooden box where the money was hidden, Chen Yi packed up his clothes. Hedwig reminded him where the wrinkles in his clothes had not been smoothed and the collar had not been straightened.
Sitting in front of the bookstall, Chen Yi opened the "Interpretation of Guksi Language" that he had not finished yet. As a student of the Chinese language department in his previous life, he naturally had great interest in the languages of this world.
Turning to a page, it tells the origin of the name of the Keshi people.
Chen Yi keenly captured the name "Hedwig".
Hedwig Pune.
Hedwig in the ancient Kish language means war and turmoil, which extends to the meaning of true religion and also means "taboo". And Puni seems to have originated from the pagan Yawen language, meaning "pure".
Hedwig, purity and taboo...
"The Gukshi people who have not yet converted to our Lord believe that names have prophetic effects, and many Kesh names have been handed down from this." Finally, the author added, "This is naturally ignorant and superstitious. I don't know who our Lord is." truth."
Chenyi flipped through "Guksi Interpretation" with interest.
Not far away, a group of townspeople dressed in mourning clothes walked by carrying a coffin.
Chen Yi glanced at it. It seemed to be the family where the old man died of illness yesterday.
The Zhenjiao pastor led the procession, and the old people and children carrying the coffin looked sad and silently listened to the pastor's chanting.
"Lord, may you bless his soul that is about to ascend to heaven, and may he rest in peace in your kingdom."
"Soul, don't get lost. Follow the direction of the angels. You have always been kind and humble. Go and listen to the angels singing."
“Good deeds will be rewarded, not in the hereafter.
Evil will be punished, only today.
Because this is an ideal country.
His kingdom. "
They sang and walked far away.
"Hey, I want to borrow a book."
Hearing the childish voice, Chen Yi turned around and saw a child in dark blue robes folding copper coins on the bookstall.
"Idle?...You didn't go to class?"
Chen Yi naturally knew him. He was the wizard's youngest official apprentice, Idle.
His face was bruised and swollen.
"Why were you beaten?" Chen Yi couldn't help but gloated.
In the town, Idle, a pagan, was not a lovable child.
"Why are you laughing?" Idelai was inexplicably angry, "A bunch of bastards who really teach children."
"You were beaten by another kid? Why?"
"Why?...I just stuffed gunpowder into the sow's butt, and I haven't had time to light it yet." Idelai shouted.
Chen Yi was silent for a while.
"It's so imaginative." He said speechlessly, "It's really a joy to have firecrackers stuffed inside."
"Cattle joy, firecrackers?" Idle caught a word he had never heard before.
Well, to him, it sounds as strange as happy beef.
"Um...a kind of dish." Chen Yi changed the subject, "Which one do you want?"
Chen Yi put away the copper coins and counted them. There were five Dir coins in total, which was enough for two days. This was not the first time that Idelai came to borrow books.
The copper dir weighs about 20 grams, and six or seven copper dir can be exchanged for one silver reed.
After exhaling, Yidelai gritted his teeth and said, "Books, I want to borrow the scriptures from the True Sect."
Chen Yi was frightened when he heard this: "Are you sure? Are you not a heretic?"
"They beat me up twice in the name of being a heretic." After complaining, Idlai said seriously, "If the King of Kings doesn't work, I'll try the true religion."
Chen Yi didn't expect Yidelai to be so pragmatic. In fact, no matter whether he believed in the gods of the True Cult or the Giant King of the Giant King Cult, as long as he was in Resurrection Town, the only one who could answer their prayers was himself.
"Okay, I'll give it to you." Pulling out a bilingual scripture in Benkshi and Yawen from the bookstall, Chen Yi asked with a smile: "You ask our God devoutly, is it because the pagans don't have it?" Can God ask?”
"I don't know." Idle said simply, took the book, and left without looking back.
Chen Yi didn't care as he watched Yide Lai go away.
When the stall was closed in the morning, there were not many people renting books. Apart from Idelai, there were only two priests. There were eleven copper dires lying in the cash box. To maintain the operation of the whole family, renting books alone was far from enough.
Chen Yi collected the bookshelf. Most of them were paperbacks made of linen paper. The cost ranged from two to five silver leds, mainly the cost of ink. The price was one silver led more expensive, while the beautifully bound hardcover books , only for sale and not for rent, it is mainly used to support the facade.
"Hello, sir, do you have the "Peace Handout"?"
Chen Yi raised her head, and the slightly curly wavy hair was the first thing she saw. Her face had smooth skin and beautiful facial features, the lines of her lips looked demure, her eyebrows were distinct and slightly curved, and her brown eyes were similar to her hair color. She had an alien classic look. Soft and beautiful. Her black and purple robe was wide and fastened with beads for prayer and sermons.
"'Peace Handouts', that's a hardcover book, you can't rent it, you can only buy it."
Seeing her, Chen Yi couldn't help but twitch her lips. She was the most beautiful girl in town, even though she was a pagan.
She came to town two months ago and heard that she was the granddaughter of the dean of the seminary.
And a month ago, I slightly guided her emotions.
In her eyes, it was just a glimpse she passed by a bookstall one morning, and the seeds of love were planted from there.
Lomea knelt down and picked up the "Lecture Notes on Peace" that she had not yet picked up. It was a classic compiled by pagan bachelors. She blinked her eyes and asked in a low voice: "Sir, why didn't it open a few days ago? What's going on in this town?" You only have a bookstall, so I have no place to buy books."
"I was arrested and imprisoned for violating the precepts." Chen Yi said with some embarrassment, "I was just released yesterday."
Luomea lowered her eyelids and said a little shyly: "Oh, is that so?"
"In addition to "Lectures on Peace", there is also "Lectures on Ordination," also in hardcover. Do you want it?"
"Do you also have the "Ordination Notes"? My grandma has always wanted it." Lomea's eyes lit up, "Thank you, sir, you really understand me."
Chen Yi couldn't help but smile to herself, not only because of the joy of being a lady, but also because she was able to sell two hardcover books in a row.
Due to Lomea's several visits, they also had a place to go.
Lomea took out the sachet from his arms and picked out a pepper.
Chen Yi carefully put away the pepper and wrapped it securely in a cloth. That was pepper! Spices that are more valuable than gold in times of shortage! With this addition, we have two peppers at home, which is enough to buy half a pig!
This girl always likes to use pepper to buy things, as if there are rules in the family not to touch money with such vulgar things.
For this reason, the pagans had an affectionate name for her: Pepper Girl.
From time to time, Chen Yi glanced at her receding figure and saw the beads dangling from her waist, making Chen Yi's heart beat loudly.
From the moment the ancient throne came into view a few years ago, I was destined to miss the bitter acorn-flavored love.
.....................
You can visit the Kingdom of God two days before and after the full moon.
And tonight is also a full moon.
Chen Yi went to bed early and closed her eyes.
After the world was spinning and the world was in unbearable pain, Chen Yi came to the sea of clouds with thousands of pillars again.
Chen Yi was surprised to find that the lights in the Torment Bell Tower reached one and a half floors.
"It's strange... It's impossible to be so cold just because of the cold reception in the academy..." Chen Yi thought in his mind, "Is it because of... the torture I suffered when I saw that word?"
After much deliberation, this is the only explanation.
At the castle in Resurrection Town, Chen Yi heard the baron praying to him.
"I promise you." Chen Yi said remotely and asked him to open his eyes.
In this miniature Resurrection Town, the Baron looked as big as an ant. He looked ecstatic and jumped around like a grasshopper in the small space.
"Praise the gods and give thanks to my Lord! Lord, Lord..."
Chen Yi moved his eyes away from there and landed on Ronald, who was sleeping soundly two floors down in the castle.
In a bedroom with blue and green patterns all over the walls and a crackling fireplace, fourteen-year-old Ronald, who was sleeping soundly on a woolen mattress, felt like he was shaken awake by someone.
He opened his eyes in confusion, but only saw a blank space, and his eyes were very warm.
Chen Yi had heard that he was stupid, but didn't know the inside story. He weighed it for a moment and asked tentatively: "Tell me, Ronald, what is ten minus six?"
Children of nobles usually have priests or teachers to teach them simple mathematics.
"What is ten minus six?" Ronald couldn't help but tell the truth.
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, this was too silly.
"Um... Six out of ten cows were taken away. How many are left?"
"How many cows are left? Maybe six cows have eaten ten cows." Ronald answered the question. He thought this dream was very strange, and he couldn't help but drool at the corner of his mouth.
Chen Yi tapped her temples helplessly.
"Maybe it's an illness... the sequelae of a high fever in childhood."
According to the comments of the townspeople, he has an IQ defect, abnormal language, often answers questions incorrectly, and repeatedly performs strange behaviors.
"Kind of like...autism."
It's not necessarily a physical problem, it could be a psychological problem...
Glancing at the Bell Tower of Misery with one and a half floors of lights, Chen Yi had some other ideas.
He gently raised his fingertips and touched Ronald's forehead, and an imperceptible light penetrated between his eyebrows.
This is enlightenment.
People with autism often have a gift for spatial or mechanical memory.
Teach him math?
So let’s start with some basics.
"Ronald, you have to remember." Chen Yi paused and said solemnly: "One to one makes one, one to two makes two..."
