The strongest reformer in the ninja world

As the blue seedlings grow taller in the rice fields and more and more cherry blossoms fall on the ground, the breath of spring gradually withdraws from the small village, replaced by the chirping of cicadas that symbolizes the coming of summer.

It was also at this time that after Matsushita Shujuku, the second school in Xiaocunzhong officially began to enroll students.

To say that it is the second school is a bit of an exaggeration.After all, the row of dormitories at Matsushita Shujuku is still really used as classrooms.

Sangzi in Springfield waited for six days with Jade Bird Enlightenment. After class, this diligent and conscientious girl asked coyly, a girl of the same age that she knew also wanted to be able to learn literacy and arithmetic.

Naturally, Jade Bird has no reason to refuse. In other words, although he is slightly surprised that there will be people coming to study, Jade Bird is actually happy to see the success.

She initially agreed to enlighten Sangzi, just to let the child have another path. After all, it is always good to read more books. Maybe when the knowledge will come in handy, but she did not expect that there are so many children who can The school under the leadership of Sangzi.

With more and more girls coming to listen to Qingniao's lectures, considering the future development of the girls, in addition to the waka and arithmetic necessary for the enlightenment of Sangzi, Qingniao compiled a book with the help of Ms. Songyang's collection of books and her own memory. Teaching materials on business management and interpersonal communication.

The only inconvenience is that because of the lack of preparation in the early stage, Qingniao cannot copy a copy of the textbook for the girls who come to class like Teacher Songyang.

In this way, one month after Sangzi followed Qingniao to start his enlightenment study, some girls came to the small school together to start their own learning journey after Mr. Songyang’s school ended at four o’clock in the afternoon every day.

Girls with younger brothers in the family, such as Sangzi, would even directly detain their younger brothers here.

Although due to time constraints, Jade Bird's teaching activities for these girls are only a short two hours a day, but every time they teach, Jade Bird tries its best to let these children learn more.

For some reason, she always had an inexplicable sense of urgency, as if something would happen soon.

If you don't hurry up, it will be too late.

In the dark, it seemed that there was a voice urging her so much that she unconsciously wanted to leave more information.

The breath of summer is already very strong. It is already eight o'clock in the evening, but looking at the mountains in the distance, you can still see the afterglow of the setting sun. , only the evening wind that comes slowly can bring a little coolness.

Qingniao held the dimly-yellow lantern, and stood on the ridge in front of the school to bid farewell to the students. She sighed leisurely, and her amber eyes looked a little gray under the light of the lantern.

"What's the matter?" Teacher Songyang's voice came from behind, Qingniao turned around, suppressed the worry on his face, and smiled: "It's nothing, just a little melancholy, the autumn harvest is over, mulberry, bamboo sunflower, and spring If you want to marry somewhere else, you won’t be able to attend class.”

"Qingniao is obviously less than 20 years old, so why are you more worried than Granny Xi?" Songyang joked: "Although they won't be able to come to class in winter, it's all their own choice. I have taught them the means, but they still need to manage their own life in the future.”

"Although we are honored as teachers by students, it does not mean that we are responsible for their lives."

"What we want to do is to pass on the belief so that when these children make choices in the future, they have the ability to make the right choice for them and fight for it."

"Do you have a firm belief and fight for it?" Qingniao's eyes were in a daze, she seemed to have such a student.

"That's right, whether it's right or wrong, it's their own choice after all. If they can carry out their beliefs, even if they die, it's still great, isn't it?" Song Yang took the lantern from Jade Bird's hand, Walking ahead and leading the blue bird to the book club.

Looking at Songyang's back, Qingniao couldn't help asking: "Then what is your belief, Mr. Songyang, that you have to sacrifice your life for it and fulfill it?"

"I..." Mr. Songyang paused for a moment, then turned his head and blinked at Jade Bird: "I'll let the little Jade Bird discover this by himself~"

"However, at this stage, I am very happy to be able to accompany Yinshi and the others and teach them, as if I have really done something meaningful."

Looking at the relaxed smile on Yoshida Shoyo's face unconsciously, Aoi Bird couldn't say any more questions, and said, "So, are you very happy?"

The soft murmur and the confusion in the blue bird's eyes dissipated in the night wind.

After the hot summer, when the wheat in the paddy field can't bear the weight of the fruit and hangs down, autumn comes.

Compared with summer, autumn comes slowly. First, the trees on the hills around the village begin to turn a light yellow color, followed by the reduced sound of frogs and cicadas at night, and finally, it is the day when people go home earlier to rest. sun.

It is precisely because of this that the blue bird who was busy stuffing more things into the girls' heads before getting married in winter, staying up late to revise the lesson plans, failed to escape the first cold snap of autumn, and fell asleep on the table in a single coat When I woke up the next day, my face was burning red.

Moreover, it may be that people who don't catch colds often don't get better once they catch a cold. They have taken several medicines from the doctor in the town, but Qingniao's condition has not improved.

The only teacher was dragged down by the illness, and the girls' studies were naturally affected. In addition to the busy autumn harvest, many children asked for leave even in Mr. Songyang's class during the day. Resume classes when you are healthy.

In the last ten minutes of the last class, I said goodbye to these girls with a smile, and agreed to see them again after this period of time passed. After watching them leave, Qingniao sorted out the copywriting, and walked to the study behind the academy with a teacup in hand, but she didn’t want to meet her again here The waiting Sangzi Chuntian.

The sixteen-year-old girl has become more calm than when she first met. When she saw the blue bird coming from the direction of the classroom, she greeted her, and shyly handed over a bamboo jar of dark brown paste. thing.

"This is the loquat paste that my mother and I made together. The husband has been unable to raise his voice a few days ago. It must be because his throat is uncomfortable." As more and more girls are studying here at Jade Bird, in order to facilitate management, Sangzi also began to address Qingniao with the formal "Mr."

After taking the bamboo jar, Qingniao put it on the table, thanked Sangzi and Mrs. Chuntian, seeing the girl was even more embarrassed, she took the initiative to change the subject, jokingly said: "Sangzi is about to get married on the winter solstice."

"That's right." Sangzi twisted her sleeves with her fingers and mentioned her marriage. Her face revealed a look of anxiety and longing: "Yu Jun lives in the town, and his family owns a fabric store. He is a very Good man, I also learned swordsmanship from the samurai in the martial arts gym in the town—"

"Yujun, he is someone I like, but I don't know if I can adapt to life in the town."

Qingniao patted the girl on the shoulder and encouraged: "Sangzi is also a very good girl. Even in Edo and Kyoto, she can take good care of herself, let alone a small town? And Mrs. and Mrs. Ai Sangzi, if you are wronged in the town, don't hold back and say nothing."

"I will!" Chuntian Sangzi grinned, looking at Qingniao with rare gossip in his eyes: "What about the teacher? Will the teacher want to marry someone?"

"Me, me?" Suddenly asked this question by a student, Qingniao was stunned for a moment, thinking of the conversation with Yoshida Shoyo not long ago, and said as if recalling: "Although I can't remember clearly, I should have You have found your home for the rest of your life."

"Huh?" Sang Zi was surprised, and then the gray-haired teacher showed nostalgia on his face, and said softly with a firmness she didn't understand: "If you work hard for such a belief, you will live your whole life." It’s very fast and fulfilling, and in the face of this, some things seem less important.”

Naturally, Sangzi couldn't understand such a sentence without cause and effect. Seeing the little girl blinking blankly, Qingniao rubbed her head: "Go home, it's getting dark and early, don't miss the meal."

With the last sentence of Jade Bird's advice "Even if you are married, you must remember to be nice to yourself", Chuntian Sangzi returned home. At that time, she naively thought that it would be like what Jade Bird students said in class, waiting for the busy farming season. In the past, her cold was cured, and everyone was able to get together again, but she didn't expect that that conversation would be the last conversation she had with Jade Bird.

This year's autumn came earlier, with the coolness and chill of autumn.

When those strangers wearing bamboo hats came to the village, they immediately attracted the attention of the villagers. They were afraid that these guys with strange whereabouts and mysterious clothes would do something that was not good for the village.

Facts have proved that these guys have indeed made a move that is not conducive to the village-they took away the only gentleman in the village, Yoshida Shoyo, on charges of radical thinking and spreading anti-government ideas.

And the villagers who wanted to defend Mr. Songyang couldn't resist the behavior of the bamboo hat people after the leader of the bamboo hats took out the warrant of Tiandaozhong who often appeared in threats.He could only watch helplessly as the gentle Mr. Songyang was taken away with his hands tied behind his back.

Song Yang voluntarily gave up resisting and followed them. After reading the last look in Teacher Song Yang's eyes before he left, Aoi Niao tightly hugged Yin Shi, who was rarely excited, and grabbed Gui Ge Gao Shan, trying to restrain him as if his potential had exploded. their actions.

If she didn't feel wrong, the bloody smell on those [Tiandaozhong] who took Mr. Songyang away was terrifying. If it weren't for Mr. Songyang's signal to leave with them, she, Yinshi, Gui, Gao Shan Even everyone in this village will die!

"Xiao Yinshi, Gui, and Gao Shan, don't disappoint Teacher Songyang's painstaking efforts." She leaned into the children's ears and said softly: "Let the adults save the matter of rescuing Teacher Songyang." .”
