C161 Pitiful (1/2)
That's right, Chang Jing did not have the time to teach the miners' children the Homo sapiens's magic, but that did not mean that his students did not either.
”Do you think these children are pitiful?” He said to the three of them with a smile, ”At such a young age, you can't even read a book, ah, what a pity, what a pity!”
Huo Wu said coldly, ”What's there to be sorry for? You'll only be happy if you don't read a book!”
That's right, thinking back to when Chang Jing taught the three of them magic, that kind of cruel power would make people feel happy!
”…” Chang Jing was speechless, she looked pitifully at Nian Tu and said, ”I remember a certain great man once said, 'Knowledge is power', it can be seen how important knowledge is, could it be that you have the heart to make them think that they are illiterate?”
Nian Bing was the most honest and loyal of the three, but when he heard Chang Jing's words, he couldn't help but nod his head. However, under Huo Wu's gaze that could kill people, he swallowed her words of approval back.
”Sigh, of the three of you, Yin Feng is the one who understands the most, am I right?”
Yin Feng smiled and nodded, but when Chang Jing also laughed, she said, ”Yes, but what does it have to do with me?”
”You all …” Chang Jing had no other choice, she could only say, ”Say it yourselves, do you want to help or not?!”
Huo Wu pouted and said, ”I can teach them, but I don't like little kids, and I don't hate them either. But the condition is that you have to stay and teach with us!”
This gave Chang Jing a headache. He had never intended to stay from the beginning, because Xi Yan was still waiting for him in the capital.
”Teacher, I have something to do!” Chang Jing explained, ”If I had the time, I wouldn't beg you so much.”
Huo Wu humphed in grievance, ”I knew it! Hmph! I knew it!”
”What?”
”I knew you wanted to throw the three of us off so we could go find your little sister Xi Yan!”
When she said that, everyone turned to look at her. Everyone knew who Xi Yan was, but the problem was that her tone of voice was too ambiguous. Looking for Sister Xi Yan? Wasn't this letting the most sacred faith in the hearts of the people be tainted with emotions?
Terrifying!
”Hey,” Chang Jing was so nervous that she couldn't even speak properly, ”Don't speak carelessly, there's nothing going on between her and me!”
”Then what do you think you're going to do?”
”I have a friend in the capital. We originally said that we would meet again very soon, but because of my injuries, I've dragged the date out again and again. Now that I have some time, of course I have to go and gather!”
These words were half true, but others believed them.
Huo Wu felt so wronged that she was about to cry. Can't you take us with you? ”
”Sigh,” Chang Jing patted the three of them on the shoulder in succession, ”I also want to bring you three along, but as you've all seen, we can't leave you three here!”
In front of him was a bunch of skinny children wearing shabby clothes.
In fact, Huo Wu and the others weren't as heartless as they were just now. Their childhood memories made them feel more sympathy towards these children, but when Chang Jing said the first sentence, she had already guessed that he wanted to leave.
What are you crying for, ”Chang Jing laughed and dried Huo Wu's tears.” It's not like I'm just going to die bravely and return after a while.
Even though he said that, he couldn't calm down no matter how hard he tried.
Huo Wu asked him again, ”Then what if you run?”
Chang Jing opened her eyes in disbelief and asked, ”In your heart, am I that kind of person?”
Who knew that the three of them would answer in unison, ”It was originally!”
