Chapter 386 Refugees Flock in

"Yeah, it's well written."

Xiao Jinlian received praise from his father and smiled playfully.

Seeing his daughter's smile, Sima Ao's face sank slightly again.

"Even if you can, you can't make noise in the classroom, as this will affect other people's listening to the class." Sima Ao scolded his daughter Xiao Jinlian, not to be proud of her.

"What does the word 'Heaven' mean?" Sima Ao asked his daughter.

"Sky: refers to the sun, moon and stars above the sky or the head, and also to the boundless sky." Xiao Jinlian replied.

"Well, the answer is right. People in ancient times believed that heaven was a willful god; heaven was the master of all things; they all had supreme authority. Therefore, they called heaven a "god"; and the king who ruled the mortal world was called the "son of heaven", which meant to govern the mortal world according to the will of heaven. The meaning of heaven's judgment is very broad."

"Oh, it turns out that the word 'Heaven' means so much." Xiao Jinlian was only seven years old and could not fully understand what her father said.

"Then my father, 'husband' can stand out, why isn't 'heaven' allowed to stand out? Is it possible that 'husband' can stand out? "Little Jinlian blinked her round eyes and looked at her father (Sima Ao), as if waiting for her father's answer.

Hey, this daughter, will Ju Ran ask such a question?

Sima Ao was slightly stunned.

Just as Sima Ao answered his daughter's question, a crisp childish voice was saying, "'husband' refers to an adult man or a married man. If the 'husband' does not stand out, how can it stand up to the sky? Although the word 'husband' stand out, it cannot be bigger than the sky, because 'heaven' is the largest. Since the sky is the largest, the word 'heaven' must be capped and cannot stand out; if it stands out, it means that there are bigger than it."

The crisp childish voice seemed to be coming from outside the window.

Sima Ao walked up to Zhangtai and looked outside. He saw a boy about seven or eight years old, lying outside the window with his ears raised, eavesdropping on his lecture.

As Sima Ao walked towards the windowsill, the students also ran to the windowsill to look.

The boy knew that he had been discovered and ran away in panic.

The next day in class, Sima Ao walked to the windowsill and looked around, but he didn't see the boy yesterday.

………………………………………

After a few days, Sima Ao found the boy, and lay outside the window with his ears raised, eavesdropping on his lecture.

This time, Sima Ao did not walk towards the windowsill, but left the academy, walked around the outside of the windowsill, and quietly came behind the boy.

"You answered very well last time. What's your name?" Sima Ao asked admirably.

The boy turned around in surprise and looked at Sima Ao for a while.

Just as the boy wanted to escape in fear again, Sima Ao stopped the boy. "You don't have to run, I won't hurt you."

With Sima Ao's words, the boy was not so scared.

My name is Houwa. I came here for escape from the famine." The boy replied.

It is not difficult to see that it is a child from a fleeing family, wearing a worn-out clothes, dusty clothes, and a thin body; it is not difficult to see that it is a malnutrition source with no blood.

Although the boy is thin and has a blue-white face, his eyes are bright, giving people a sense of inspiration.

"How long have you been outside the window for the class?" Sima Ao asked again.

The boy thought Sima Ao wanted to be punished, but was so scared that he wanted to run away again.

Sima added when he saw this: "You don't have to be afraid, I just want to know that I will not punish you."

The boy stopped and stopped leaving.

"It's been three months." The little boy replied in a trembling voice.

"Have you ever been to school before?" Sima Ao asked the boy again.

The boy shook his head.

Sima Ao was a little incredible. He had never attended school and had only eavesdropped on the course for three months. He understood so many truths and so many words?

"You like going to school very much, right?" Sima Ao asked again.

The boy nodded.

"If you really want to go to school, you can go to my college. I won't charge you for tuition, but you have to help me with your work." Sima Ao said to the boy.

The boy couldn't believe it and looked at Sima Ao and asked, "Is it true?"

Sima Ao smiled and said, "Of course it's true. You are the most logical-thinking child I have ever seen. If you become my student, I believe that you will become a great man in the future."

The boy excitedly gave Sima Ao a teacher's ceremony. "I've been worshipped by sir."

Sima Ao brought the boy back to the college and told the college students that the boy has been a student here since now, and asked his daughter Xiao Jinlian, Pang Ya and Li Changshou to teach the boy more.

After class, the students were curious about the boy asking: "You were outside the window a few days ago and eavesdropping on who we were in class?"

The boy nodded in shame.

"Hey, thief!"

There were several students who joked that the boy was a thief.

The boy was so sad that he didn't speak.

"You are not allowed to say that to him. The gentleman taught us to help and love each other and not to laugh at others. He just didn't have money to go to school and wanted to go to school." Xiao Jinlian came over and scolded, laughing at the boy's classmates.

"That's it!"

Pang Ya and Li Changshou also came to help.

Xiao Jinlian is the husband's daughter, who dares to offend him?

Those classmates were so scared that they quickly escaped!

Little Jinlian blinked her bright eyes and asked the boy with a slight voice: "Hey, what's your name?"

The boy secretly glanced at the little Jinlian and replied tremblingly: "I am my name, Monkey."

What is a monkey frog?

Li Changshou thought to himself, I have only heard of bullfrogs, and never heard of monkeyfrogs.

"It's not a 'frog', it's the baby of the 'doll'." Monkey Wa added.

Li Changshou was dizzy and still couldn't tell the difference between the "frog" and the "baby".

"Haha! Your name is even worse than mine?" Fat Ya couldn't help but smile.

"Where are your parents, why do they give you such an ugly name?" Xiao Jinlian asked again.

"My parents died when I was very young, so I don't know what my surname is, nor do I know if I have a name. I came here when I escaped from the famine. The adults who escaped from the famine with me saw that I was thin and had a quick run, so they called me a monkey baby."

The boy told Xiao Jinlian, Li Changshou, Pang Ya and the three of them that they got their names.

When Monkey Was said that her parents died at a young age, she cried sadly.

"Woo! You're so pitiful, you don't even have a name."

Xiao Jinlian, Pang Ya and Li Changshou all felt sympathy for Monkey Wa's life experience.

Woo...What a miserable life experience!

After hearing the miserable life experience of Monkey Wa, Fat Ya also followed Monkey Wa and cried sadly!

"Don't be sad, this is your home in the future." The boy told Xiao Jinlian, Li Changshou, Pang Ya, and the three of them about their names.

"My father is a great person. If you want to go to school in these places, you treat you as your own family, so you don't have to be sad." Little Jinlian comforted the monkey baby.

"Yes! From now on, we will be your good friends and we will help you."

“Yes, yes!”

Pang Ya and Li Changshou also comforted Monkey Baby.

During the famine, refugees who fled to famine are often driven away by some locals, disliked and bullied. They have no place to stay and can only help each other.

Monkey kids have experienced these things at a young age and have never felt the care and warmth of outsiders.

Monkey Wa felt that the care and warmth of outsiders could not suppress the inner emotions. The more comforted Xiao Jinlian, Pang Ya and Li Changshou were, the more Monkey Wa cried.

The day after Monkey Was was taken in, a large number of refugees fleeing famine flocked to Kyoto City.

Liu Taishou was afraid that these refugees fleeing famine would disrupt the public order in the city and prevent these refugees from entering the city.

In order to scare and drive away these refugees, Liu Taishou ordered the soldiers guarding the city to shoot arrows, so many refugees died tragically under the arrows.
