On the other side, several people left the treasure-hunting rat’s cave for a while.

Jiang Yao suddenly said: "What are you hiding?"

Jiang Yu was stunned: "...how did you know??"

Jiang Yao gave her an understanding look.

"Don't look at me like this... I didn't get it for free, I left food and water for it! This is an exchange, yes! It's an exchange!!!"

Jiang Yao looked at what Jiang Yu took out and was speechless for a while.

Get a bag of whole grains in exchange for these??

In front of him are several gems of various colors that are not much bigger than eyeballs.

It's not big, but it's in good condition.

Perhaps because everyone's eyes were too direct, Jiang Yu felt guilty for a while: "The little fat rat has no use for these, the food can be eaten at least..."

Lin Changsheng and Shi Xiaoxin nodded in agreement. In their opinion, although these things are precious, they are not as practical as food.

Jiang Yao said expressionlessly: "Yeah."

Jiang Yu couldn't figure out her attitude and was speechless for a moment.

After coming over for a while, I couldn't help but move closer.

"Sister, are you angry?"

"Why should I be angry?"

"Because I secretly hid the little fat mouse's gem."

"Isn't it exchanged?"

"...but the exchange should be done voluntarily by both parties and based on the principle of equality..."

"Yeah." Seeing Jiang Yu's self-reflection, Jiang Yao continued: "But you are right, food may be more useful to it."

Winter is coming soon now, and the weather in Qingzhou is not the kind where no grass grows as soon as winter comes. There are even many seasonal wild vegetables and fruits.

But the plague is about to strike, and a small bag of coarse grains may really save the life of the treasure-hunting rat.

Jiang Yu instantly became happy: "That's right! I think it definitely needs more food!"

Jiang Yao changed the subject: "If your students faced such a situation, how would you teach them?"

Jiang Yu said without hesitation: "If I faced primary school students in modern times, I would teach them to ask for permission from others, abide by the rules, and be civilized and polite."

"Why?"

"Because in school, as a teacher, I have my responsibility. What I need to do is popularize it, so that those children can become a person who can adapt to society and integrate into society. On this basis, try to stimulate his creativity and talent."

"Just being a normal person?"

"Yes, even if I don't agree, the current status of modern education is like this, because teachers are not only responsible for the growth of each child, but also face supervision and pressure from all aspects."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yu was a little disappointed: "Actually, teaching is a job done with conscience, but many teachers and even schools have the attitude that doing more is worse than doing less. Isn't it sad? Teachers' hands are mistrusted in various ways. Being tied up, I can't do many things and I dare not do them..."

Before starting work, Jiang Yu was full of enthusiasm and wanted to take "preaching and learning" as his mission.

But after I really started, I realized that it was completely different from what I thought.

"What if it's in this world? Or these children in Linjia Village?"

"Huh?" Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Jiang Yao meant: "If it were them, I hope to teach them how to survive in this world and let them learn a skill, but I may not necessarily advise them to be good people.

"

Jiang Yao raised her eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

"Because even I don't know if I want to be a good person."

She was not sure whether good people would have a harder time living in this world.

Therefore, even though they knew Shia wanted them to save the world, they also just wanted to protect their own people, nothing more.

Jiang Yao: "You are right. If you are poor, you can only take care of yourself. If you are rich, you can help the world. What they should learn is how to make themselves stronger."

…

This conversation reminded Jiang Yu of what a teacher said about her in high school.

"She may appear to be obedient and follow the rules, but in fact there is a seed of rebellion deep in her heart, ready to burst out of the ground at any time."

Hiding the little fat mouse's gem was meant to tease it, but more importantly, it was because she really needed it.

To be precise, it is the villagers who need it.

Although they have no worries about food and drink, even the people in Qingyun Village don't have much money.

After all, they had just experienced an escape, and they were not serious bandits, so there was no way they had any treasure.

But this way to escape famine, he still had to cross the border and go to Chu State.

It is said that the road to poverty leads to wealth, but who knows what you will encounter along the way?

Not to mention anything else, once someone gets sick, there is nothing Zhong Da and the others can do, and it will be a disaster for these people.

Otherwise, why is the mortality rate of refugees fleeing famine so high?

At critical moments, these inconspicuous but good-quality gems can solve their urgent needs.

So, even if it happens again, she will still do it!

Well, at most, I can discuss it with Little Fat Mouse and change it after agreeing.

If you don’t agree...then find a way to make it agree!

Jiang Yu led everyone to quickly catch up with the large army.

Seeing them catching up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

…

From the moment he came down the mountain, Jiang Yu covered the entire area with his senses, always paying attention to whether there were any human traces within a radius of one kilometer.

Mainly pay attention to the footsteps and conversations in the periphery, otherwise the footsteps of the large army might shock her silly.

As for the noises made by some passing small animals, she also chose to ignore them.

This is something she has continuously figured out over this period of time.

Although she cannot completely shield, she can adjust her perception.

As long as the perception is reduced to a minimum, it will be like ordinary people's hearing.

So now the sounds made by the large troops and small animals sounded to her ears like ordinary people, and she felt almost the same when listening to them.

Not quiet, but not noisy either.

On the contrary, it allowed her to pay more clear attention to the movements in the periphery.

However, there is one very embarrassing thing.

In order to rush on the road, the large troops basically kept walking all the time.

If some young children cannot walk, the adults will take turns carrying them for a while, or some of them can rub against the injured person's cart.

In this case, if you have an internal emergency, just leave the team and find a place in the grass or trees to solve the problem.

So Jiang Yu was forced to listen to the indescribable sounds.

It's not loud, just like the sound of someone standing next to you and hissing.

Jiang Yao didn't pay attention at first, but after careful observation, she found that whenever someone left the team, Jiang Yu's face would look ugly.

Jiang Yao seemed to have figured out something, and she put her fist to her lips and snickered unkindly.

Jiang Yu: I saw it!

…

Fortunately, everyone moved quickly enough and were not caught up by the army of refugees behind them.

They set off at about noon and did not stop to rest until noon.

Everyone took out sesame seed cakes from their own baskets and ate them with water.

After the sesame cakes were made, only the fourth aunt in charge of the food tasted them, while everyone else ate them for the first time.

Take a bite... well, it's a bit hard.

"Can it not be hard? There is no yeast, and there is still little oil. Apply a thin layer of oil on the bottom of the pan. It will take more than a dozen cakes to bake. After it is finished, it will be hung to ventilate for two days." Jiang Yu bit hard.
Chapter completed!
