Chapter 416 Yami

Yami poked his head out timidly and looked at the team in front of him.

He had been queuing here for a long time. There seemed to be fewer people in front of him, but also there seemed to be no people at all. Often, the crusaders with guns would grab those who cut in line, carry them up and drag them to the end of the line, but the whole line still seemed to have no end.

Why does it feel like everyone in Blood Harbor has come out? But come to think of it, those Castel people must have gone crazy for opening a literacy class, and the key is that they actually gave free meals to those who went - my God, how can you learn to read and eat?

Yami didn't know what the use of literacy was. He wasn't interested in it either. He just wanted to deal with it. But the meal was different. It was a free meal! Blood Harbor was now in ruins. It was good enough to survive. When they heard about the free meal, almost everyone who could move came.

This might just be a spur of the moment idea from some noble lord, and it might disappear in a couple of days.

Yami was waiting in line until he felt dizzy. Just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a female voice in front of him: "Name?"

Yami looked up in confusion, only to find that there was no one in front of him. In front of him was a long table with a missing corner, and a brown-haired girl was tapping the table with a pen impatiently.

"Name?"

"Yami!" He shuddered and became more awake. "Sir, is it true?"

"The literacy class is from 8am to 4pm every day. Two meals are provided. There is no age limit. How many people do you want to sign up for?"

How many people should I report? Yami scratched his head in confusion, then suddenly opened his eyes wide: "No, no age limit?"

"Yes, everyone who can come will have food."

Yami's hands began to tremble, and he whispered, "I, my neighbor's Granny Penny can do it, she, she may not be able to do any work."

"Okay, who else?"

“She also has a granddaughter.”

After saying this, Yami felt his face getting hot. He was ashamed of his behavior, but if they had the free meal, perhaps Granny Penny and her family would have survived. Granny Penny originally had two sons and several grandchildren, but they all died in the rebellion. Now she and her granddaughter have moved into the slums and are basically waiting to die.

Yami has no ability to help others. He has difficulty getting enough food to eat. All he can do is to help the two of them sign up for literacy classes.

I don’t know how many days this free meal can last, but if they eat one more day, the two of them can live one more day, which is a great thing in Yami’s heart.

Therefore, even though his face felt hot, he still signed up for the two of them.

The registration lady didn't say anything and just wrote down their names. Yami thanked her and ran away, without even hearing what she said afterwards - he was a little afraid to face such a kind lady.

After registering in this confused manner, Yami returned home.

It’s called a home, but it’s just a random shack that hasn’t collapsed.

Yami originally thought that everyone would go to the literacy class, after all, it was rare to have such a good thing as a free meal, but after asking some other people, he found out that many people were called to work.

Working not only provides food, but also earns some money, but it requires hard work. Yami feels a little guilty because he is too thin, so he wants to eat a few meals first and then go to work.

Speaking of which, is it so easy to find a job now? Yami remembers that it was very difficult to find a job before. Every time someone was recruiting, everyone would rush to grab it. But now, everyone will take the job.

It's strange, Blood Harbor is not the same as before.

Rebellions have happened many times, the nobles are still the nobles, the poor boys are still the poor boys, but many familiar faces are never seen again.

But this time, it seems different from before.

Yami didn't quite understand, and his days were confused. After telling Granny Penny about it, he came back with a salted fish - that was forced upon him by Granny Penny.

When they met a kitten on the road, Yami hesitated for a while, broke off the fish tail, handed it over, and scratched its chin.

the next day.

Yami got up very early and planned to go there early - for such a good thing, who knows how much food there will be, it would be bad if there is nothing there when it is too late.

He did arrive very early, and when he arrived at the hastily built "school", there were only a few people there.

Yami saw the lady who registered him yesterday. He greeted her and wanted to slip away, but she stopped him.

"You! What's your name? Mia?"

"It's Yami."

"Okay, Yami, you're just in time. Help me organize the lesson plan."

Yami scratched his head and walked up hesitantly.

"Can you read?"

“I don’t know.”

"Can you do arithmetic?"

"Won't."

The girl glanced at Yami, who looked innocent.

Zoe sighed. "Forget it. I guess we can count. How many can we count to?"

"a lot of."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Then at least you can count your fingers. Please send me the lesson plan later. It's just some very simple arithmetic. If you can't figure it out, just count on your fingers."

Yami nodded. He still had confidence in counting. Probably.

"There are 1,232 people in total. Each person will have a literacy booklet. Five people form a group, and ten groups form a class. There must be at least two holy books in a class. Yami, you will put a booklet on each table. I will go get the holy books first. There are eight holy books in a box. Let me count."

Zoe scratched her head in distress. She had no paper, so she could only calculate in her head.

"Five times ten is fifty, and one thousand two hundred and thirty-two divided by fifty is two hundred and forty. No, it's twenty-four. What are you doing?"

Yami had already moved a few boxes and placed them in front of Zoe, and was now standing aside obediently.

"We need seven boxes in total."

Zoe was stunned for a moment, then suddenly opened her eyes wide: "How did you figure that out?"

"Just count."

"What is thirty-five times twenty-four?"

"have no idea"

"There are thirty-five coyotes, and each coyote has twenty-four ears. How many ears do all the coyotes have?"

"Eight hundred and forty."

Zoe took a breath and wanted to check the math. She tried to do the math mentally, but unfortunately her mind was a little confused at the moment and she couldn't figure it out.

After a while, she gave up in frustration, stared into Yami's eyes and asked directly: "How did you calculate it?"

"Just count." Yami took a step back timidly. Why was she suddenly so excited? It was just counting.

"Tell me in detail how you counted. You have some skills, right?"

Yami nodded quickly.

"Sure enough. Tell me what technique you have."

"First count from one to thirty-five, then repeat twenty-four times, and you will be able to count."
