Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

The villagers didn't want the money, but it was good meat and wine, so they stopped being polite. After having enough wine and food, everyone left contentedly. When they set off again in the afternoon, they felt full of energy.

He is still the same person, but his spirit is obviously different from the past.

The rest of the journey went much smoother. I walked and rested, and didn't encounter any messy things. The only trouble was that some refugees couldn't help but ask for help.

Some are begging to join their team, some are begging for a bite to eat, and some simply want to sell themselves to them, or use their daughters of the right age to get married. In short, in order to survive, they have all kinds of tricks, and they are endless.

Xu Huaiyi didn't care about this kind of thing. Even if someone came to him, he refused without hesitation. No matter how pitiful the other party begged, he was indifferent. He showed the villagers what it means to be hard-hearted. Iron look.

The villagers were both surprised and surprised, but also took it for granted. Their inner emotions were so complicated that it is difficult to describe.

There are also people who see clearly and lament to others privately, "We should all learn to be righteous and look at others. This is how we have great wisdom!"

Most of the people who heard this took it seriously. Occasionally, some were slow to figure it out and asked for help at a loss, "What great wisdom? Why do I feel that his behavior is a bit contradictory? He helped us before, and it was hard work and dangerous. We all rush to the front, and we all recognize his benevolence and righteousness, but why is he so indifferent to the refugees?"

Although the villagers did not pay attention to the refugees under the beating of the village chief, their faces could not help but show a bit of intolerance. Some of them were soft-hearted and even shed a few tears. On the other hand, Xu Huaiyi was expressionless from beginning to end. His expression showed no sympathy for the refugees at all.

This cold person seems inhumane.

When the transparent person heard this, he immediately snorted, "Being indifferent to refugees doesn't mean it's compassionate? Stupid, it's just a matter of righteousness. You know who you can help and who you can't control. Since you know it in your heart, Is there any need to worry about this and that like you? Do you think that by shedding a few tears and sympathizing with the refugees, even if you don’t give anything, you won’t appear indifferent and appear humane? Ha, that’s called hypocrisy.”

The man who couldn't figure it out just now turned red in the face, hesitated, and couldn't speak anymore.

If Xu Huaiyi heard this complimentary comment, he would definitely feel a little guilty. Facing those miserable refugees, could he really remain indifferent?

Actually, it can't.

He is not soft-hearted, but sad. His indifference is to cover up his powerlessness. He can help one or two, but he can't control hundreds or thousands.

He was afraid that all the refugees would swarm in, so he didn't dare to help even one or two people. He was afraid that if he opened that hole, he would never be able to close it again.

No matter how compassionate he is, in his heart, he still selfishly puts the safety of his family first. As long as there is a trace of risk, in this situation, he dare not touch it with any luck.

Only when he becomes strong and capable in the future can his compassion and kindness be freely expressed.

Now, not qualified.

He turned this powerlessness and helplessness into motivation for learning, and he made rapid progress. In just a few days, he mastered a thousand-character text. He could point to which words, recognize which ones, and he would never make any mistakes again, and he could practice calligraphy. It was changed to two pages a day. Although I still couldn't hold the writing in hand, it was at least less crooked than before. I could finally make it straight horizontally and vertically, and I could barely write a word.

The most important thing is his attitude, which can be said to be upright and serious, just like a top student who works hard to get into the university of his choice.

Gu Huanxi was shocked. Is this her scumbag husband who regards learning as his enemy no matter how hard he pushes her?

If I had such energy and consciousness in my previous life, how could I have been at the bottom of the class every time I took the exam?

She secretly observed it for a few days. At first, she thought he was pretending, but gradually, when she saw that he really persisted, she realized the change in his mentality.

This is very exciting.

She always wanted to talk to him, but there was no suitable opportunity.

Until that day, the team stopped and set up camp. The resting place was still seven or eight miles away from the Fucheng in front. Unknown to the situation, for fear of getting into trouble, they did not dare to get too close. However, they had been walking with them for several days. The two wealthy families sent a boy to say hello to them, and then drove their carriages and horses into the city.

The Liao family did not and chose to sleep in the wild with the villagers.

Soon, curls of smoke rose from the kitchen, and the burning flames dispelled the chill of the evening. The aroma of the food wafted up, and the ironing warmed the body after a hard day's work.

In the Gu family, Wei Ci cooks, Wei Liang sets up the stove to collect firewood, and prepares the sleeping area for the night. Wei An accompanies Gu Xiaoyu and takes care of Simba. Gu Huanxi and Xu Huaiyi are now free to use their hands and become free people. .

The couple hugged their daughter and strolled around.

Walking to a quiet place away from the crowd, Gu Huanxi considered his words and tentatively asked, "Have you had any thoughts recently?"

Xu Huaiyi was stunned for a moment, "Huh? What do you think? No..."

Gu Huanxi raised his eyebrows, "Really not?"

Xu Huaiyi was still confused, "No, what should I think?"

Gu Huanxi saw that his confusion didn't look like he was pretending, so he simply asked directly, "Then what stimulated you recently? Why did you suddenly correct your attitude and study hard?"

Xu Huaiyi blinked, "Isn't it good to study hard? Isn't this what you have always been looking forward to?"

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi snorted with a half-smile, "Don't evade the important and take the easy. If something goes wrong, there will be a monster who wants to play tricks on me. You'll be able to thrive..."

Xu Huaiyi laughed suddenly.

"Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist, tell me, which one do you choose?"

"Hey, of course I choose to confess. How can there be secrets between an intimate couple?"

"Stop smiling so quickly."

"Actually, it's nothing, daughter-in-law, it's just that I suddenly had an epiphany and felt that I should work hard to become stronger, so that I can better protect you and the children. How can I be strong? Only by studying, the status of a merchant Still not working, look at Mr. Liao and the others, what if they have money? If they don't have enough status, bandits will dare to block the road and rob. If you change it to an official, even if your rank is not good, they will be afraid. We were able to get through smoothly before. It was a bit of a fluke that I caught them by surprise and captured the bandit leader. Otherwise, it would have been a fierce fight with inevitable casualties..."

Gu Huanxi listened thoughtfully.

He continued, "I have my own skills, but I am not afraid of fighting with others. For the sake of you and the children, I dare to fight against anyone, but just because I dare, it doesn't mean I can do it. No matter how good my skills are, I am not invincible. There are always people who are more powerful than me, and when I get to the capital, dignitaries are everywhere, and it’s useless for me to have skills. I can’t say a word to them. This is the difference in status. If I want to change these, the only way is to study, so I decided , study in a martial arts academy, take martial arts examinations, or take the Mingfa exam, in short, become an official, this is the only way to change your class status. "

Gu Huanxi was dubious, "Do you really think so?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded heavily, his expression extremely serious.
