Chapter 180 Just give it a try
"Madam, Aunt Hu, what's wrong with you?"
Su Ying glanced at the dirt on her body and said, "I just delivered a cow."
"Delivering a baby with a cow?" Bai Shuang didn't expect that Su Ying could do this job.
"Well, why are you here?"
"Someone is here to see the lady."
After Su Ying explained a few words to Mrs. Hu, she and Bai Shuang went home. "Who is it?"
“Those scholars.”
Su Ying understood as soon as she heard it. It must be that the school building had been completed.
Su Ying returned home, washed off the dirt on her body, changed into clean clothes, and then went to the main room.
When the people in the room saw Su Ying coming out, they all stood up and saluted.
Su Ying sat down on the chair and waved her hand for them to stand up. "Has the school building been built?"
One of the scholars named Qi said, "Madam, the school building was completed yesterday, but we may have to wait for some time for the tables, chairs and benches. However, we have discussed with Mr. Chu and feel that it is difficult for all the children in the Tiger Camp to have a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and their basic skills are not very good, so we plan to make some sand tables on the ground at the beginning and let them sit on the ground to listen to the class, or bring small stools from their own homes."
"You mean to let them learn calligraphy in the sand?"
"Yes, we can use branches at the beginning. We can go to the mountain to get sand. If there is no sand, we can use mud. There is always a way."
Su Ying thought this was a good idea. It might not be a bad thing to have a poor learning environment at the beginning. Once they had laid a solid foundation and the economy in Tiger Camp had slowly developed, everyone would have a stable income, and it would not be too late to buy expensive pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
They can barely fill their stomachs now, how can we expect them to have a set of high-end school supplies?
"Okay, if you have any questions about teaching or need to discuss anything, you can go to Chu Yun. You are not teaching for free."
"Yes, Madam, don't worry. This is something we never dared to think about before. Now that we have such an opportunity, we will definitely cherish it."
It is said that scholars are good for nothing, especially after being exiled, this idea became even stronger. They once felt that they could not even feed their family, so what was the point of reading so many books.
Now that Su Ying has given them an opportunity to realize their self-worth and earn a living at the same time, they naturally cherish it very much.
After thanking Su Ying, these people went upstairs to find Chu Yun to discuss some details.
Su Ying was not idle either. After drinking two glasses of water, she went out to the back mountain.
Zhang Liang said that the charcoal business could still be done for another month, and he would have to transport the charcoal away after December, so she had to burn as much charcoal as possible before the end of the month.
On the other side, Xiao Jin also brought Jiang Yang, No. 1 and others to the outside of the Tiger Camp.
Qiao Yang stood on the door wall, watching them tinkering with something, but he had no idea what they were doing.
"It's just a mess. Digging trees from one hole to another, is it going to grow silver?"
The guard nearby heard this and said, "I heard they are setting up some kind of maze."
Qiao Yang sneered, not believing it at all. If you move things around, it will become a maze? Only a fool can't get out!
For several days afterwards, Xiao Jin was setting up the formation outside the camp, and Qiao Yang stood on the city wall every day, muttering to himself. He also threatened that after Xiao Jin's formation was set up, he would be the first to go out and give Xiao Jin a good slap in the face.
A few days later, Xiao Jin stood at the outermost edge of the formation and walked around it several times to check if there were any loopholes. After finding the problems, he repaired them in time. After making sure that there were no omissions in any details, he took everyone back to finish work.
When Qiao Yang saw them coming back, he quickly climbed down from the door wall.
Qiao Yang walked up to Xiao Jin, stood on tiptoes and raised his neck to look at him, trying to make their heights look equal. However, Xiao Jin was too tall, and even when he stood on tiptoes, he was still shorter than him.
"You said yesterday that this weird formation could be completed today? Is it finished now?"
Xiao Jin glanced at him calmly and said, "You want to try?"
Qiao Yang puffed out his chest and said, "Just give it a try. Am I afraid of you?"
Xiao Jin curled the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes. He pointed to a small path next to him and said, "Go out from this path, and then walk back."
Qiao Yang felt that Xiao Jin was humiliating his intelligence, so he immediately walked out through the path.
After walking for a while, he saw the entrance to the former Tiger Camp. He had been here for so many years that he could walk out with his eyes closed!
Qiao Yang puffed out his chest confidently and walked in as he did in the past. However, after walking for a while, he clearly felt that he was very close to the Tiger Camp, but no matter how he walked, he could not reach the end.
Qiao Yang hissed. Did he hit a wall? This shouldn't be the case. He didn't believe that he couldn't get out of this place after walking here for so many years!
At this time, Hu Wei, who was standing on the door wall, was watching his younger brother walking around in circles like an idiot.
It has to be said that Xiao Jin is a hidden master. A formation like this one would be impossible to create in a short period of time unless one is an expert.
"Brother Xiao is really amazing."
Xiao Jin watched Qiao Yang put his fingers to his mouth and blew them. Qiao Yang, who was still walking in circles on the spot, shuddered as if he was stimulated by something. The scenery in front of him gradually became clear. He looked up and saw the gate not far away.
He ran to the door as if he had seen a ghost, "Open the door, open the door, open the door for me quickly."
The guard heard the noise and quickly opened the door.
Qiao Yang ran in quickly and saw Xiao Jin coming down from above. He said angrily, "What kind of magic did you use on me, kid?"
"That's a maze."
Qiao Yang jumped up and down, "What a bullshit maze, I don't believe you..."
"Qiao Lao Er, you are incompetent and yet you have the nerve to speak so loudly here." Hu Wei felt that his younger brother was really embarrassing at home.
"Brother, don't be so stubborn. He must have drugged me. How could I have gotten out of this?"
Xiao Jin didn't even bother to look at him, he just jumped on his horse and rode away.
"Hey, kid, don't be afraid if you have the guts. Stop and let's fight one-on-one!" Qiao Yang didn't want to lose his momentum.
Just when he thought he had regained the upper hand, Xiao Jin suddenly stopped his horse, turned his head and looked at him coldly.
"You want to fight me one on one?"
Qiao Yang's heart skipped a beat. Seeing Xiao Jin's fists that were harder than sandbags, he immediately jumped onto Hu Wei's back in fear.
"Brother, this kid wants to start an internal fight, beat him up!"
