"Okay." Tian Erhe turned around and said to Shang Jianyao as teased, "Now do you know how difficult it is to maintain order in such a settlement?"

Jiang Baimian didn't want to continue to stimulate Shang Jianyao, so he took over the conversation and asked instead:

"Mayor, when we came in just now, there seemed to be no such many children? Are they working with the adults?"

Tian Erhe leaned his body and pointed to the three buildings in the shape of "子":

"They were teaching there, and the adults were leaving the school only when they came back."

"Class?" Jiang Baimian said with a slight eyebrow, "You still maintain classroom-style education?"

This is very rare in addition to the great forces, among the many wilderness settlements on the dust, at least there are no settlements that Jiang Baimian had visited before.

For people who are very difficult to survive, organizing classroom-style education is completely unnecessary, which is a waste of energy and resources - human resources are a very important part of the resources. Ex-productive teachers and children who do not help at home are luxury goods for many settlements.

In those places, parents and elders can occasionally provide some teachings for their children in their daily lives, helping them gain common sense, learn to farm, collect, cook, clean, shoot, hunt and take babies.

Tian Erhe smiled and said:

"Every time an outsider enters Shuiwei Town and finds this incident, he will be surprised. Indeed, it is not easy to maintain a 'school' under our conditions. Everyone has saved and saved. They tightened their belts so that this tradition was not broken."

He subconsciously looked up and looked at the dim and rainy evening sky, half-remember and half-thrilling:

"The first person to propose that children receive formal education was an uncle named Shen Liuxin.

"He said: No matter how difficult it is, the children must be allowed to read, read, and learn the most basic knowledge. Only in this way can they, their descendants, and the future townsmen of Shuiwei Town remember who they are, where they come from, what kind of culture and history they have. Only by always remembering these can they stick with expectation in the "dark" where they cannot see any hope in a bad environment.

"Although I agreed with Uncle Shen's proposal at that time, what I thought was actually very simple: every time I don't recognize some of the words on the items moved back from the ruins of the city, and even if I know them, after they are connected, I often don't know what it means. This is impossible to use the items effectively, how can this be done?

"This kind of thinking is really simple. It was not until recent years that I gradually understood Uncle Shen's words."

Speaking of this, Tian Erhe stood up and pointed to the three buildings with the shape of "品":

"Do you know where this place used to be?"

Bai Chen, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong shook their heads at the same time.

"This is the school in Shuiwei Town in the past. It is the basketball court, the flag-raising platform, the teacher dormitory, the student dormitory, the microcomputer, the book and experiment building, and the teaching building..." Tian Erhe introduced one by one, with a little charcoal fire reflected on his face.

Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others were very sensible to listen and also very sensible to see. Even those buildings and venues were only contours in the evening darkness.

Tian Erhe withdrew his hand, turned around, and repeated the original words:

“This used to be a school.”

His expression was serious and serious.

Without waiting for Jiang Baimian and others to respond, he sat down again and laughed at himself:

"In this matter, many townspeople don't understand. They are not willing to maintain such a small school, but they think that this should only be provided to the original residents. As for the wilderness wanderers who were later stored, giving them a bite of food is already a great kindness. Why do they still waste resources?

"They believe that the original townspeople, especially the core members of the town guard, should divide the land. Later, wilderness wanderers could only rent and needed to pay a certain share of the harvest.

"They also believe that later wanderers should not be allowed to join the town guards, and that they should not be allowed to master relatively better weapons."

Speaking of this, Tian Erhe shook his head:

"Ha, when I am alive, I can still rely on prestige to suppress it. No one dares to really object. At most, I complain privately. When I die, I really don't know what Shuiwei Town will become.

"I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore, eat it, eat it."

Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen were not good at expressing their opinions on the internal affairs of Shuiwei Town, so they could only maintain the attitude of the guests, just compressing biscuits and energy bars, and the mixed grain steamed buns that Tian Erhe asked someone to send, and ate the pot of braised beef.

Shang Jianyao was not in a hurry to join, and continued to pick up the beef from the bowl by piece and feed it to the little girl beside him.

The little girl was also very sensible. After eating, she didn't ask for anything again. She bowed to Shang Jianyao seriously:

"Thank you brother!"

After thanking her, she held the remaining debris and jumped back to the area where many buildings were built in chaos - which were originally several side-by-side basketball courts.

"The movements are very standard." Shang Jianyao praised behind her.

"This is specially taught by the teacher." Tian Erhe was quite proud.

Shang found that Yao had not yet picked up the braised beef, and was silently gnawing on the yellow grain steamed buns there.

Jiang Baimian did not persuade him, and asked Tian Erhe about their experiences after the destruction of the old world while eating.

Most of these experiences are boring. After all, Shuiwei Town has geographical advantages and has suffered fewer external tests. However, Jiang Baimian and others still listened with relish, which made Tian Erhe more and more excited, and even talked about the story of his relationship with his wife during a hunting trip.

After everyone had almost finished eating, Shang Jianyao began to attack the remaining braised beef and ate it with the mixed grain steamed buns in his hand dipped in juice.

"I haven't been so happy for a long time." Tian Erhe touched his stomach and looked at Ye Ziyan ashes on the ground. "I have to go back to my room. There are still some things waiting for me to make up for my idea."

Jiang Baimian suddenly remembered something and said:

"Mayor, I have another problem."

"What?" Tian Erhe tightened his military green coat.

Jiang Baimian recalled:

"Have you ever seen such a person?

"Male, black hair, golden eyes, 1.8 meters tall, very handsome, probably even more handsome than him."

She continued while tilting her head to indicate that the reference object was Shang Jianyao:

"I like to wear windbreakers, gloves, my hair is neatly combed, and I like to wear boots."

Tian Erhe thought about it:

"There are very few outsiders in Shuiwei Town. I haven't left the town for a long time. I have no impression of the person you mentioned.

"Puppy, go and ask the people who have been hunting recently to see if they have seen people like this, and then come back and tell Bai Yatou and the others."

"Okay mayor." Seeing the opportunity to show, the members of the town guard named "Douzi" ran very fast.

After watching Tian Erhe, wearing a military green coat and a furry hat, leave the wooden shed and enter the area built in various chaotic buildings, Bai Chen looked around and confirmed the location of the town guard members.

She sat down and said to herself:

"Why did the mayor tell us the contradictions within Shuiwei Town?"

Jiang Baimian looked at the fire in the stove and smiled:

"Of course, I hope that the possible major forces behind us can accept Shuiwei Town.

"Or why do you think he would invite us to visit?

"Even if he trusts you enough, there is no need to do this. He can express his care and kindness in other ways."

She turned her head and looked at Long Yuehong who was a little confused and Shang Jianyao who was not sure what she was thinking, and continued:

"It can be seen that the conflicts within Shuiwei Town have worried Mayor Tian for a long time, worried that after he died, the situation in Shuiwei Town would slip into bad places and eventually fall apart.

"In such concerns, he met a trustworthy wilderness wanderer whom he knew and could trust. It was obvious that this wilderness wanderer had defected to a considerable force and seemed to be doing well.

"If it were you, would you be a little moved? I hope you can get in touch with it so that Shuiwei Town can rely on a major force that is not too malicious to the wilderness wanderers in the future?

"With such protection and coordination and planning from major forces, this contradiction within Shuiwei Town is really nothing."

Long Yuehong finally understood:

“That’s how…

"Team leader, will the company accept them?"

This sentence was also what Bai Chen wanted to ask, otherwise she wouldn't have talked to herself on purpose.

Feeling Bai Chen's gaze, Jiang Baimian turned his gaze to the stove in front of him again.

She said with a little smile:

"When I return to the company, I will report it according to the normal process. Whether it will be accepted depends on the decision of the board of directors. In this regard, even the entire Ministry of Security and the Strategic Committee have the right to recommend.

"But, I will definitely hide in the specific location of Shuiwei Town, only saying that I encountered their hunting team in the wilderness."

Bai Chen was obviously relieved and whispered:

"That's fine, that's fine."

Long Yuehong was obviously confused:

"Why should I hide the specific location of Shuiwei Town?"

The person who reports is his own company.

Jiang Baimian glanced at him with a smile, without answering or giving an explanation, just said:

"Look, Shang Jianyao didn't even ask."

Shang Jianyao heard his name and looked at the team leader:

"Ah, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Baimian squeezed out a little smile:

"Say you're good-looking."

"It's okay." Shang Jianyao was quite modest.

The scene suddenly became quiet. Not long after, the members of the town guard with the nickname "Douzi" ran back and came to Jiang Baimian:
To be continued...
