Chapter 362 Have you ever thought about what kind of person you want to be in the future?
Chapter 362 Have you ever thought about what kind of person you want to be in the future?
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the tent and falls onto the ground, creating mottled light and shadows.
Jun Feimo sat beside the desk, listening attentively to the secret guard's report.
When he heard what Chu Zixi had experienced today, the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted slightly, and a barely perceptible doting and pride flashed in his eyes.
His Xier should be different like this, not bound by worldly rules, living freely and unrestrainedly. With him around, he would not let Xier get into any trouble. Humph, so what if he was the Duke of Qi?
After the secret guards left the tent, Jun Feimo slowly stood up, walked to the door of the tent, looked at the soldiers training not far away, and fell into deep thought.
He knew very well that his mother had a strong and stubborn personality and once she made up her mind about something, it would be difficult for her to change it. But this time, Xier had indeed shown mercy.
He only hoped that after this period of rest, his mother would be able to calm down and no longer behave excessively.
After all, he didn't want to see the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law deteriorate further. If his mother continued like this, he would have to use tough measures.
At the same time, when Chu Zixi was on her way back to the palace, Yu Da suddenly reported to her that he had brought a dozen children and arranged them in the prince's villa outside the city.
Chu Zixi decided to change her itinerary without hesitation and went directly to the villa.
She sat in the carriage, which slowly drove out of the city gate. Dust was flying outside the window, and the noise gradually faded away.
After a bumpy journey, Chu Zixi finally arrived at a quiet villa outside the city.
The villa is surrounded by lush woods, and the environment is quiet and peaceful.
The carriage stopped steadily, and Chu Zixi got off the carriage lightly. Yu Da hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully, saying, "Princess, this is the prince's villa, which is secluded and spacious. I took the initiative to bring all the dozen children here."
Chu Zixi nodded slightly to show her satisfaction, and said appreciatively, "Well done." She reached out and picked up a veil from the side, put it on gently, then got off the carriage gracefully and walked towards the carved door.
Walking into the yard, I saw a dozen children standing together nervously. They were wearing tattered clothes, their faces were haggard, and their eyes revealed confusion and fear about the future.
Seeing Chu Zixi coming over, the children couldn't help but feel a little scared, but they didn't dare to show it.
The children are of different ages, the youngest is only four years old and the oldest is ten years old.
According to Yuda, they have been living in a dilapidated temple outside the city all along, and have been begging for food in the city every day for a living. Their life is extremely hard.
Looking at the group of children in front of her, Chu Zixi couldn't help but feel a surge of pity in her heart.
She walked up slowly and said softly, "Are you willing to follow me and learn some skills? If you agree, then you won't have to suffer outside anymore, and you won't have to worry about food and clothing. Of course, if you don't want to stay, I will immediately send someone to take you back to where you came from."
After saying this, Chu Zixi quietly waited for the children's response.
At this time, a slightly older boy stood up, his eyes revealing determination and expectations for the future: "Sister, I want to stay here! I will do anything you ask me to do."
Soon after, other children also expressed their willingness to follow Chu Zixi.
After hearing the children's answers, Chu Zixi sat down on the stone table nearby and asked softly, "Does anyone among you know how to read?"
The children all shook their heads. Only the little wolf who spoke first answered timidly, "I know some, but not many words."
Chu Zixi's eyes fell on the little wolf, her eyes were as clear as water, and she asked softly: "Little guy, what's your name?"
Xiaolang raised his head and looked directly into Chu Zixi's eyes. He thought this sister's eyes were very beautiful, but he didn't understand why she was wearing a veil. "My name is Xiaolang."
Chu Zixi nodded slightly, and then instructed Yu Da who was standing beside him: "Yu Da, go and ask two masters to come over. One will be responsible for teaching these children to read and write, and the other will teach them martial arts to strengthen their bodies. In addition, prepare some clean clothes and enough food for them."
Yudai nodded respectfully, then quickly left to carry out the order.
Taking advantage of this brief period of free time, Chu Zixi returned to the carriage and reached out to take out an exquisite medicine box from the space.
When she came back, she put the medicine box on the stone table and opened it. Various precious herbs were neatly arranged inside, emitting a faint herbal aroma.
She looked up at the children who were gathered around her and asked gently, "Are there any of you who are interested in medicine? If so, I can personally teach you the art of medicine."
Hearing this, the children's eyes showed a hint of curiosity and surprise.
Especially Little Wolf, he said without hesitation: "I want to study medicine!" His eyes were burning with a desire for knowledge.
Chu Zixi smiled and nodded, and began to patiently teach them how to identify herbs and explain their effects and uses.
A group of children sat around Chu Zixi, and everyone listened to her attentively.
Chu Zixi patiently introduced various medicinal herbs to the children and explained in detail the effects of each herb.
Among them, some children are particularly eye-catching.
For example, the little wolf, although thin, has eyes full of determination and concentration.
He listened very attentively, as if he wanted to engrave every word in his mind.
Beside him were three other older children who were also concentrating fully, not daring to miss any important details.
As time passed, Xiaolang and several other older children were able to recite Chu Zixi's words fluently.
They not only remembered the names of the several medicinal herbs that Chu Zixi had just mentioned, but also remembered their uses and effects.
Chu Zixi picked up a ginseng and handed it to the cook in the villa, asking her to use it to make chicken soup to nourish the children.
These children are all skinny and look like malnourished monkeys.
Near noon, Yu Da led the two masters back to their residence, bringing with him sumptuous food and new clothes.
Seeing this, the children's faces were filled with joy.
Chu Zixi gently stroked the little wolf's head and asked softly, "Have you ever thought about what kind of person you want to be in the future?"
The little wolf raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination, and answered without hesitation: "I want to be a doctor with superb medical skills!"
Chu Zixi smiled and nodded to show encouragement, then turned to look at the other children and continued to ask about their dreams.
Every child spoke actively and expressed his or her vision for the future.
