Good-looking, not allowed to farm

For the carrot hanging in front of his eyes, Jamie decided to temporarily put his conscience aside.

Now he was thinking: "What does the intrigue of people from another world have to do with me? Anyway, I just want to get out of this ghost place. As long as I get out of here, I can do whatever I want!"

He couldn't help but recall the cornfield at his home in this different world.

When I was outside, I always felt that the farm work was very tiring, but now that I think about it, even the tiring work is quite interesting.Especially when the corn is about to mature, watching the rows of corn stalks stand up straight like a line.The golden and heavy fruits are wrapped in green leaves, and the corn whiskers on the top dance happily with the wind... As long as you can see this scene, all the sweat is worth it, all the fatigue will disappear, and only The joy of harvest remains.

"I can't wait to smell the fragrance of corn." Jamie murmured to himself.

So, he was no longer so gloomy as he was a few days ago, he regained his energy and was ready to act.

Things are going well.

Because Macomb was not wary of him, and because he helped George before, he was considered a very kind boy, and he was always friendly and gentle to him, and because he was very young, he was a good teacher and wanted to teach him some knowledge.

Jamie simply used this as an excuse to ask him for advice, pretending to be studious.

Macomb is very pleased with this: "People should learn more while they are young, and there is no harm in knowing more."

Just at the beginning, Jamie had no intention of studying at all.

What he wanted more was to use the other party's few words to find the information that the financial officer wanted to find himself, and then rely on the information to exchange for that precious amnesty order and restore his freedom from then on.

But what I didn't expect was that Macomb, who looked like an ordinary old farmer at first glance, turned out to be a very knowledgeable person.

Due to the limitations of the times, although he doesn't know what class and human rights are, he still doesn't understand the difference between ordinary people and nobles?Why is there such an unequal and deformed system for the same human beings?But ignoring the above, he has extremely high attainments in traditional knowledge inherent in this world, such as literature, history, and sociology.

Jamie didn't think he was illiterate until he didn't study systematically.

Because although the characters in this other world are not pictographic characters, they are somewhat similar to the phonetic characters in foreign countries, that is, symbols represent pronunciation.As long as you find a way to learn its basic symbol system, you can speak and write, and even encounter unfamiliar words, even if you don’t know them, you can pronounce them.

Jamie's talent in this area is very good. After time travel, with a little self-study, he can read and write.

Then, out of contempt for the status quo of the backward society in the other world, this traveler who came from the era of the knowledge explosion and only wanted to farm with peace of mind and quietly build his own small world, actually didn't want to continue studying hard.

But when Macomb started teaching him in earnest...

Only then did Jamie realize that it wasn't that he didn't want to study, he just hadn't met a teacher who made him want to study.

There is always a person who is knowledgeable, talented and humorous, and tells the boring knowledge interestingly.

Like a light, a light of knowledge piercing the night of ignorance and illuminating a new world!

Although Jamie's purpose is not to learn, he is repeatedly attracted to learn.

And for Macomb, Jamie, a student, should have shocked him completely.

"How quickly you learn!"

After studying for a period of time, he couldn't help sighing like this: "I used to think that I was already very good at learning, but I didn't learn it as quickly as you. Occasionally, I can draw inferences about other knowledge, and say something from time to time. Even if it is a unique insight that even I can't think of. Jamie, you are a genius! A real genius! Your talent should be displayed in a wider world, not trapped in prison like this."

Jamie, the traverser who is not purely illiterate and has a certain knowledge base, knows this well and doesn't feel too proud.

Although he can't help but immerse himself in Macomb's teachings, when the study is over, he will use his reason to force himself to return to the cruel reality, and then clearly realize that 'I'm still in this damn prison' The hard-pressed facts, so I just want to turn the topic to the intelligence that the financial officers want to know.

It's just that when I dream back at midnight, I often toss and turn because of guilt and unpredictable fate.

He didn't intend to hurt anyone, but he wanted to embrace freedom so much that his heart was about to break.

This time, when Malcolm finished speaking, Jamie realized that the moment he had been waiting for for a long time might have come.

So he pretended to be naive and complained: "I still have four years, eight months and ten days left in my sentence... I can still get out if I go out. But Macomb, who cares whether a farmer has talent? Even if I go out , and there will be no room for display.”

As expected, Macomb immediately comforted him: "There is always a place for you to use your strengths. Moreover, although most people are ignorant, there are still people in this world who share our goals."

"Who will be like-minded with us?"

Jamie pretended to be disappointed: "You know, before I was imprisoned, I lived in a very remote and isolated poor country, surrounded by ordinary farmers like my father who couldn't read a word. Alas, I don't dislike anything, it's just that I really don't have any common language. Think about it, when my sentence is over, I will go out from here. At that time, where should I go to find like-minded people to talk to? There is only one person's life How lonely it is! If only you could go out with me, and damn it for twenty years!"

Macomb had no doubts of fraud.

He felt the loneliness and pain that everyone was drunk and I was sober, and said immediately: "Don't worry, Jamie. Although I can't get out, I should still be able to give you some help."

Jamie looked at him expectantly, opened his eyes wide, pricked up his ears, and held his breath, waiting for him to say 'how to contact like-minded people', or 'where to find those like-minded people' .

But unexpectedly, Macomb pondered for a while, but did not say the answer.

He patted Jamie's head with a smile and told him gently, "I'll tell you the day you go out. Now, let's learn something else..."

hateful!

Just a little bit.

Jamie was dying of disappointment.

But Levin, the financial officer, urged him again: "You get along well with that prisoner, but why can't you get any information? Jamie, are you so useless? Or are you just perfunctory? ? Well, I don't bother to bother with these. But I really don't have the patience to wait any longer, so let's put it bluntly. If you can't show me something before the king's wedding, I really can't think of myself What reason is there to keep talking to you..."

This is very sad.

But there are worse things to come.

In the corridor, Jamie met the villain who bullied George and then broke his head.

He's not afraid of this person, it's okay to fight again, but...

"I won't touch a hair of yours now." The villain said suddenly at the moment the two passed by.

Then he stopped and whispered these words in his ear again with a vicious look on his face: "But I'll be patient, Jamie. I've got strength, brothers, and money to bribe the guards, and you What's the matter? Good-looking? But being good-looking doesn't protect you, it only brings you trouble. So, get to know yourself, boy! You have nothing but the treasurer's dick. And wait until the treasurer Tired of playing with you... Remember, Jamie, offending me will be the worst decision you've ever made in your life."

Jamie was expressionless.

But in fact, he was almost driven crazy by the pressure.

In order not to let myself fall into such a miserable situation, in order to get out of this damn cage as soon as possible.

He reluctantly came up with a way to make himself want to spurn himself.

then……

The next day Macomb suddenly fell ill.

The poor venerable elder lay in the straw pile, very sick and groggy.

Jamie wiped away tears, took care of him personally, and tried everything possible.

When Macomb regained consciousness a little bit, he rushed on him heartbroken, held his hand, with red eyes, and wept uncontrollably: "Hold on, Macomb, you will definitely recover! My mentor, my Guide, my dearest friend! Please don't leave me, you still have so much knowledge you haven't imparted to me, you haven't watched me walk out of this damn prison, you haven't introduced like-minded people to meet me ..."
