Curious about the laughter of children in the village, Bellmer and Xia Yu walked towards the direction of the sound.

After turning a few corners, the two of them saw a clear view again. In front of them was an open space as large as two football fields. A dozen children were playing games on the open space.

The one who led the children to play games was a young woman who looked to be in her early twenties. She was dressed simply, but she had an innate nobleness. Her gestures were like those of a noble lady from a noble family.

Just as the two were about to go over to say hello, a "ding-dong-dong" sound suddenly rang out.

Then, the young woman led a dozen children to run towards a wooden house next to the open space.

After a while, bursts of reading sounds came from the wooden house.

"That's the school!"

Hearing the sound of reading coming from the wooden house, Bellmer was surprised and excited: "There were only a few families here when I came last time. Now it has been less than two years, not only have so many people moved in, they have even built a school here!"

Xia Yu was also a little surprised.

Of course, he didn't care whether there was a school here, but the school bell just now made him feel like he was back to the time when he went to school in the countryside before crossing.

Like the bell that just rang, when he was in the village primary school, the school bell was a steel block. Every time it was time for class, the student on duty would pick up a small hammer to hit the steel block, and the jingling sound of the steel block would remind the school teachers and students.

Later, because some villagers in the village who were not doing their jobs always stole the steel blocks and sold them as scrap iron, the school teacher went to the county town to buy a bell.

After he graduated from elementary school, the steel block and the bell withdrew from the stage of history, because a star who can only be tanned by the sun helped build a Hope Primary School in their village, and the school bell was changed to an electric bell.

Unfortunately, the bell of this school was also emitted by the steel block hanging under a tree next to the classroom.

After ringing the steel block to remind the children to enter the wooden house, a middle-aged man standing under the tree immediately walked over with an iron pestle.

Seeing this, Belle Mel hurriedly went up and excitedly greeted the other party, "Hello, I am Belle Mel from Cocosia Village. I used to be a navy soldier and fought against the pirates who invaded here at that time. If I remember correctly, there were not many people here two years ago."

Hearing that Belle Mel had fought against pirates here, the middle-aged man immediately stood in awe and said politely: "Welcome, both of you, I am Manjie, a teacher in this school."

After speaking, Manjie looked at Belle Mel and then at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu politely extended his hand and shook hands with Teacher Manjie, "Xia Yu, traveler!"

After a slight pause, Xia Yu looked up at the wooden house in front of him and asked, "When was this school built? Is it an education system promoted by the Kingdom of Oikot, or did the village invite you at their own expense?"

Manjie shook his head and smiled, "No, my father and I want to do something for the children here. This village was invaded by pirates and burned by fire a few years ago, and it was abandoned for many years. Later, because the security in Haifeng Town was relatively stable, many homeless civilians moved here one after another. Half a year ago, my father and I passed by Here, seeing that there are many children in the village, they decided to settle down here and open a school to popularize knowledge for the children. "

Speaking of this, Manjie's eyes flashed with worry, and he lowered his voice and said: "However, not many people know about this matter, and I hope you two don't spread it. Because the royal family and nobles of the Kingdom of Oikot do not allow the children of untouchables to enter the school. "

Hearing this, Bellemeier quickly assured: "Don't worry, Mr. Manjie, we will never tell anyone!"

Although Xia Yu did not speak, he couldn't help but look at Manjie twice more, and he also respected the father and daughter.

No matter in which world or era, there will always be some ordinary and great people who resolutely stand up and cheer for the civilians living at the bottom. The world he once lived in was like this, and the messy pirate world under his feet is also the same.

And the reason why great people are great is not that they have any purpose, but that they have built bridges between the future and hope.

Although the pirate world is a world where the strong are respected and the order is broken, for the civilians living at the bottom, knowledge is still one of the ways to change their destiny.

What Xia Yu didn't expect was that Manjie was actually a noble in the capital of the Kingdom of Oikot. He couldn't stand the royal nobles oppressing the common people, so he went to a royal palace banquet to please the World Government and the Celestial Dragons for their endless oppression and exploitation of the people.In the middle, he argued with the king, which angered the king. Not only was his noble status deprived, but his family of three was also driven out of the royal city.

After that, the family of three went around and came to this village half a year ago and settled down here.

The school was just built not long ago, and classes officially started yesterday.

Because he knew that Bellemere was once a navy and had fought pirates in this village that had been invaded by pirates, Manjie was basically defenseless against Bellemere. Whatever Bellemere wanted to know, he would tell the truth.

Soon, a class passed quietly.

Manjie took out his pocket watch to check the time, then with a hint of apology, he picked up the iron pestle and ran to the tree to ring the bell.

As the bell rang, the children ran out of the classroom happily.

Manni did not continue to play with the children, but was brought by Manjie to Xia Yu and Bellemere.

The simple dress did not completely cover up the aristocratic aura that Manni was born with. After learning about the identities of Xia Yu and Bellemer, she was not at all timid and greeted Xia Yu and Bellemer openly.

When she learned that Xia Yu was a traveler, she even invited Xia Yu.

"Mr. Xia Yu, as a traveler, your experience should be very exciting."

Manni did not avoid Xia Yu's gaze. Perhaps because she was once an aristocrat and was used to being pampered since childhood, she looked at Xia Yu with a little condescending taste. "If possible, can you give a class to the children? You don't need to talk too much about the knowledge in the books, just tell the children about your experiences during the trip."

"Give the children a class?"

Xia Yu's eyes lit up, "The major is quite suitable. I also had a dream of becoming a teacher back then."

"Really?" Manni didn't expect Xia Yu to agree at once, and she didn't expect Xia Yu's dream to be a teacher.

"Of course!"

Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and said simply: "Mr. Manjie, please ring the bell for class!"

"Okay!"

Manjie was obviously very happy to find a like-minded friend. He didn't even look at the time and picked up the iron pestle to ring the bell.

When the bell rang, Xia Yu walked into the wooden house with Bellemere under the leadership of Manni without any hesitation.

The wooden house was very spacious. Although there were more than a dozen children sitting, it was not crowded.

With the introduction of Teacher Manni, Xia Yu walked onto the familiar but somewhat old podium.

The children also looked at Xia Yu standing on the podium curiously because a new teacher suddenly came.

Manni did not leave the classroom, but pulled Bellemere to sit at the back of the classroom, looking at the figure on the podium with interest.

"Hello, everyone!"

Xia Yu walked to the desk and stood still, smiling: "My name is Xia Yu, and I am a traveler. You can call me Mr. Xia Yu. I will replace Teacher Manni to teach you in this class."

"Before the class starts, I want to ask you a question!"

After a slight pause, Xia Yu turned around and wrote the word '人' on the blackboard, and asked: "Do you know how to pronounce this word?"

"I know!"

A slightly older girl raised her hand and said: "Teacher Manni just taught us last class that this word is pronounced '人'!"

Xia Yu smiled and nodded, "It seems that everyone already knows how to pronounce this word! Then... do you know what this word means?"

"I know, I know." A little boy stood up and said excitedly: "The nobles call us untouchables, so the word '人' means untouchables."

As soon as this was said, Manni, who was sitting in the last row, stood up in a panic, wanting to speak out to correct the boy's answer, but found that the words were on the tip of her tongue and she couldn't say them.

Although the little boy's answer was wrong, it was a very cruel reality.

Because she was once a noble, she knew very well that in the eyes of the noble and royal families in the royal city, everyone except the nobles and royal families were pariahs.
