obligatory love

The next day, Cheng Yuan woke up from Sokel's arms.As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Sokel staring at him intently, apparently he had been awake for a long time.

"Good morning." Cheng Yuan smiled at Sokel with a slightly hoarse voice.

Sokel nodded, then remembered to reply, "Morning."

But it was getting late.Although it is still early in the morning, for the primitive residents who work at sunrise and rest at sunset, most of them get up and start their day's work when the sky is still pale.

Cheng Yuan thought he would stay here alone today, but after wandering around in the cave for a while, Sokel came back from the outside and changed into a beast and sat on him.

At first, Cheng Yuan thought it was not a good thing to ride someone else, but then he remembered what happened last night.Thinking of the relationship between the two, Cheng Yuan didn't shirk, and climbed up Suo Keer's back.

Sokel stood up slowly, he could feel Cheng Yuan unconsciously grabbing the hair on his neck, but he didn't seem to dare to use too much force.

"Get down and put your arms around my neck, or hold tight"

Hearing this, Cheng Yuan slowly bent down.Arms wrapped around Thorkel's neck.

Sokel took two steps first, and then started trotting after Cheng Yuan got used to it.Orcs generally only let their females ride on their backs, which is an expression of respect and pampering, but for Thorkel, this kind of experience in carrying people is really very little.

After going down the mountain, Sokel led Chengyuan to a house in the tribal living area.

Cheng Yuan walked up and looked at the house carefully.Although the appearance is simple and simple, the neatly climbed vine flower fence outside the room is enough to show the owner's intentions.There is also a tree of unknown species planted in the small yard, which is shining emerald green in the sun.

"Did you build it?" Cheng Yuan turned around and asked with a smile, Ru Mo's eyes shone with joy.

"It was built by another orc. I repaired it yesterday." It is not a qualified orc to live in a cave on the edge of the tribe with a female.

"So fast, so powerful." Cheng Yuan's praise is always direct and sincere.

After entering the house, Cheng Yuan was even more pleasantly surprised.The new house is very beautiful. Although the brand-new tables, chairs and beds are not so delicate, they also have a simple and warm feeling. The bed is covered with many layers of animal skins, which is much softer than the stone bed.Cheng Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Sokel with a gentle smile, "Thank you."

Thorkel has lived in the cave for many years, and the strong orcs don't need to consider safety issues. This house is obviously prepared for his arrival.

But Thorkel was puzzled by this thank you.

No orc would let his female live in a cave. Yesterday he spent the night in the cave because the house was not ready. It was a treat to Cheng Yuan, but instead of being angry, Cheng Yuan was angry with the existence of the house today. Express thankfulness.This female is clumsy and can't do any work, and on the other hand, she seems to have been abused by someone who has no sense of taking care of herself. Sokel thought to himself that Cheng Yuan might come from a very privileged family , because of some reasons wandering outside, looking at the injuries all over the body, it is estimated that he has suffered a lot of grievances.Thinking of this, Sokel raised his hand and rubbed Cheng Yuan's head, "No thanks, I will protect you."

"Ah, thank you... um." Cheng Yuan smiled and agreed, but he didn't understand where this word of protection came from.

The new house still needs a lot of details, and pots and pans are missing.At this time, in the orc world, there is already an unformed currency transaction, and things can be bought with money, but when it comes to Sokel, the situation is a little different.

Thorkel is an adult orc and has lived alone for a long time. Money is of little use to him.Food can be hunted, and only one animal skirt is enough, and the orcs who are more accustomed to eating raw food have very little demand for condiments.So at this time, for Thorkel, barter is the first choice.After placing Cheng Yuan in the house, he was ready to go hunting.

Cheng Yuan originally wanted to go with him. He knew little about the world and was eager to obtain information, but he also knew that he would be a burden to the team, so he just told Sokel to be careful.

After taking a closer look at the new home, Cheng Yuan remembered that he should go back to visit Sass.

Along the way, many people cast curious eyes on Cheng Yuan.This female whose origin is unknown and whose life experience is a mystery is inexplicably paired with Sokel. One of the strongest orcs in the tribe married such a female who was nearly ten years older, which made everyone in the tribe sigh with emotion. Sigh again.

Cheng Yuan smiled back at everyone who looked at him.Cheng Yuan's appearance is not very good-looking and exquisite, but when he smiles, there is a shallow dimple on the right corner of his mouth, coupled with a pair of dark and gentle eyes, he looks very approachable, with a more gentle and elegant appearance in.

After inquiring all the way, I found Sath's home. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Sath busy in his yard.There are two orcs in the Sas family and one female. The largest orc is about to become an adult and has already started to learn various hunting skills. The youngest female is still in the tribal school.

"Cheng Yuan, you're here." As soon as he saw Cheng Yuan, Sas immediately put down his work, went up to him and gave him a big hug.

"Well, I'll come back to see you." Cheng Yuan leaned his head on Sath's shoulder and replied softly.

Sass pulled Cheng Yuan into the room, and kept asking him if he was used to Sokel and if Sokel treated him well.Cheng Yuan answered repeatedly, feeling endless gratitude to this female who saved his life and took care of him in every possible way.

After babbling, Cheng Yuan asked one of the most important questions of this trip. "Seth, is there anything I can do in the tribe?" He didn't have any big plans, but he didn't really want to be at home waiting for Thorkel to feed him.

"This..." Seth tilted his head and thought for a while, "What do you know?"

This question stumped Cheng Yuan.Although he can't tell the difference between the four bodies and the five grains, but his understanding of this world is really very little, and he has never done hand-knitting, so he can only learn it now.

"By the way," Cheng Yuan blinked, "I can teach."

"Teaching?" Seth's eyes lit up, "Are you literate?"

Of course Cheng Yuan can read, but what he can read are modern Chinese characters, not the characters of this world, but no one said that one must be a Chinese teacher to be a teacher.

"I can teach mathematics, that is counting." Cheng Yuan replied.

"Numbers are nothing to learn." Seth shook his head, not very optimistic.

There is no mathematical system in this world at all, and even the nine-nine-nine multiplication table has not yet appeared. Knowing three-digit numbers is enough for daily production and life, and there is a lot of lack of teaching content.

"Yes. Take me to the school to try." When it comes to his job, Cheng Yuan is much more confident.

After thinking about it, Seth agreed.

The school is just a relatively large house in the depths of the tribe. There are only two teachers. One teaches children and the other teaches older students. The learning content is not systematic. Knowing basic characters is considered a graduation.

Hearing Cheng Yuan's words, the principal—that is, the tribal chief asked dubiously, "Do you really have other knowledge that you can teach the children?"

"Yes." Cheng Yuan nodded firmly.

In the next hour, Cheng Yuan talked about some basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division algorithms and area and volume formulas, and then connected these with real life.The application rate of more difficult knowledge here is too low, so there is no need to consider it.

After listening in a cloud of fog, the chief made a final decision on the position of Cheng Yuan's math teacher.The teacher has a very high status in the tribe, second only to the chief and the witch doctor.This made Cheng Yuan very happy. In this way, on the one hand, he has an income, and on the other hand, he can engage in the work he likes, killing two birds with one stone.

The class schedule was simply arranged according to the way of modern schools, and Cheng Yuan was rushed to experiment with a class directly.

Under the seat is a group of children in their teens, who are looking at Cheng Yuan with blinking eyes. "Mathematics class", this is something they have never heard of.

The moment he picked up the chalk, Cheng Yuan suddenly had a familiar feeling in his heart. Even in the most basic class of understanding Arabic numerals, he still taught with great interest.There will be no pressure of exam rankings, no urging of teaching progress, and no helplessness of exam-oriented education.He can intersperse some stories about the history of mathematics in his lectures. Although these celebrities do not exist in this world, the children still listen to them with great interest.

After one class, the children had a certain understanding of the new thing "mathematics", and got to know this new teacher who smiled as warmly as the sunshine in the early spring morning.Even the most naughty children on weekdays are embarrassed to make trouble today.Cheng Yuan was deeply moved by the realization of this ideal teaching environment in such a technologically backward world.

After class, Cheng Yuan and Sa Si took the little female Yuumi back home.Along the way, Youmi asked Cheng Yuan a lot of questions familiarly. When he was almost at the door, Cheng Yuan raised his head and saw Sokel walking towards him.

"You're back." Cheng Yuan took two quick steps to meet him. "Is it going well?"

"Yeah." If you don't count those orc friends who asked him "with malicious intentions" along the way how he was doing last night, everything went well.

On the way back, Cheng Yuan told Sokel about being a teacher.It was his temporary idea, and he hadn't discussed it with Sokel. In other words, it was his fault.

"Do you mind?" Cheng Yuan raised his head and asked.Seeing Sokel's complexion, he didn't seem to agree with his actions.

"Teaching children is tiring." Thorkel said with a serious expression.A group of chattering children really gave him a headache.

"It's okay, the students are very cute and obedient." Cheng Yuan knew that he didn't mind that he made his own decision without saying hello, so he was relieved.

Thorkel hesitated, then asked, "You like children?"

"Well, it's okay." Rather than liking children, it's better to say that I like the joy of imparting knowledge.

Sokel raised his hand and rubbed Cheng Yuan's soft hair, wondering if they could have one too.

The author has something to say: Well. . .I always feel that this novel is very tiring to write, and I feel that I haven't gotten to the point yet.

In the past, most of the orcs were about letting the protagonist use modern knowledge to shine in agriculture and handicrafts. Although it looks cool, it feels less realistic, so compared to these, I would rather let Cheng Yuan become a math teacher .Personally, I think this arrangement is more reasonable and more reliable.
