Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 306 Rainy Night

After receiving the award, Ganz returned the items to his father nonchalantly, and then walked straight towards Xu Weiwei.

Halfway through, the armband, which was stretched to its limit by the muscles, finally gave up and fell off. Ganz froze for a moment, then tossed it around with his hands as if catching a hot potato, and finally caught it.

"Brother Gantz! You are awesome! You are worthy of me!" Xu Weiwei gave him a thumbs up. The next second, Gantz threw something at her.

Xu Weiwei took it and looked at it. A headband? It was still movable.

"what is this?"

Ganz pointed to his arm and said, "I broke the armlet. I don't like wearing these things, and this one is a little small. You can just use it as a bracelet."

"Oh! I remember now. No wonder it looks familiar." Xu Weiwei suddenly realized. Then she looked at Ganz's arm. It was almost as thick as her thigh without any force. Comparing it with the size of the circle, it was a bit awkward.

The armlet is divided into four parts, two sections of gold and two sections of jade, connected by a gold buckle in the middle, which looks very luxurious. Xu Weiwei put it on her wrist and compared it, and it was obviously bigger.

Ganz saw it and asked for it back: "I'll give it to you after I fix it."

"Yeah." Xu nodded slightly and put it in Ganz's palm. She was no longer the poor girl who lived a tight life and was easily shocked by the price of goods.

She had received countless expensive gifts over the years, and the balance in her personal account had already accumulated to a terrifying number. She had not paid attention to it for a long time. When there is too much money, people will lose interest.

It was a gold and jade armlet, and it was broken. Xu Weiwei accepted it without any psychological burden.

One day was not enough to complete all the races. There were too many contestants, and only three events were completed near sunset. The remaining long-distance race took too much time, and it would not be completed in another day. The horse racing festival usually lasts three days, with technical events and short-distance races on the first day, long-distance races on the second day, and some entertainment activities such as wrestling and tug-of-war on the third day.

At the end of the day, Xu Weiwei did not go home directly, but said goodbye to Ganz and the three parents and went to the priest.

Whenever there is dangerous sports, people get hurt. Every year at this time, the priests and Taohua become very busy. There are only two of them, but they have to bear the medical needs of the entire tribe.

This is the case when someone's injuries are not serious and they don't want to cause trouble, so they go home and take medicine.

After Xu Weiwei found out, she started coming to help regularly after the event. The three of them often had to work until late at night to send all the patients away.

Today is no exception.

The priest was sterilizing the needles with fire, Xu Weiwei was replenishing the used Chinese medicines in the medicine cabinet, and Taohua took the large iron pot that had been used to boil the plaster to the tap to wash it. Every year, they would boil a large pot of the plaster for bone repair in advance.

The three of them divided the work among themselves, and after finishing the cleanup they sat together to drink tea.

After finishing the cup in one breath, Xu Weiwei took a long breath and asked in confusion: "Why don't you train more candidates? Even if they don't become priests like you in the end, they can still be doctors. This way you can be much more relaxed. Two people is really too much of a stretch."

Taohua also looked at the priest. She had never thought about this question, but now that Xu Weiwei asked it, she was also curious about the answer to the question.

The priest said expressionlessly: "Let me ask you, what is the prerequisite for studying medicine?"

The two people were a little confused by this question, but they still subconsciously thought about the answer to the question.

"A heart of benevolence." Xu Weiwei was the first to answer. Medicine is a benevolent art, so one must have a benevolent heart. The saying that doctors should have a benevolent heart has been practiced since ancient times.

What she wanted to say was said first, so Taohua quickly thought again: "You must have a spirit of dedication!"

The priest shook his head slowly: "Neither."

"Huh? What is that?"

The priest sighed and said faintly, "It's literacy."

The two were stunned. They didn't expect the answer to be so realistic. Although they didn't know whether to laugh or cry, they couldn't deny that it made sense. Doesn't studying medicine require you to be able to read?

"The previous writing of the Gudel people was just simple symbols. It was not until my mother arrived that they had the current mature writing. She wanted to popularize it among the entire tribe, but later found that it was a very difficult task." The priest said in a flat tone.

"Adults have long been accustomed to the previous way of communication. It is a habit that they have inherited since childhood and cannot be changed. Many people also think that learning a new language is completely unnecessary. It would be better to kill a few more deer if they have the time. Children who are a little more sensible are also influenced by adults."

"Only the youngest group received their mother's education. Most of them found it difficult and gave up halfway through their studies."

Xu Weiwei listened silently. She did not look down on these people and think that they were ignorant. In terms of the local political, economic and cultural development level, this form of education was ahead of its time, and it was normal that it was not understood.

On the contrary, if this advanced education can be sustained, it will have a dynamic and positive impact on society, the most obvious example being the level of medical care.

Peach Blossom is a typical example of success.

With the efforts of the priest and her daughter, the school in the tribe has taken shape, and more children are going to study there, but few of them are outstanding. When she finally taught two children with decent knowledge to stay in the school to take over her position, she had the energy to keep Taohua by her side and further teach her medical skills.

Reform cannot be achieved overnight. This is already a good start. Xu Weiwei believes that starting from the next generation of Taohua and her friends, Chinese characters will be able to achieve a large coverage rate.

"hope so."

Outside the window, a strong wind started to blow. Leaves slapped against each other and bamboo poles squeaked. Xu Weiwei glanced at the time. It was already past twelve o'clock. If she didn't go home soon, Aunt Hong and the others would be worried.

"Is it going to rain?" Xu Weiwei said, standing up.

"It lasted for a while during the night, but it stopped before dawn. It will still be sunny tomorrow."

"You know everything?"

Xu Weiwei's expression made the priest laugh. "Every year before the festival, they come to me for a checkup. If you don't have this ability, why would I be a priest? Let's go. The rain is coming so fast. We'll be..."

Before he finished speaking, a silver snake appeared on the dark sky, followed by thunder. Bean-sized raindrops fell down, stirring up a smell of earth.

"It's too late, it's already raining. You're really good at talking, and what you say comes true." Xu Wei smiled and said jokingly. Fortunately, Bai Xue was tied up in the stable and didn't get wet.

"It's my fault. I didn't check the time. Let's rest here today."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I guess Uncle Kai and Uncle Dao are already on their way. They drove here so they won't get wet." Xu Weiwei stretched lazily.

"Let me close the window for you to avoid the rain. Is there anything you want to collect in the yard? I——!"

Xu Weiwei stood at the window and looked out. She was startled by a dark shadow in the yard.

"What's wrong?" they both asked at the same time.

"There's a person outside, outside." Xu Weiwei said the last word uncertainly.

It was too late, and it was raining so hard that shadows were cast on everything. Who would go out in such weather? Especially when the black shadow approached slowly, Xu Weiwei felt that something was wrong.

He looked around, picked up the large pestle used for pounding medicine, and pushed open the door.

"Who?!"

The shadow suddenly raised his head and took two quick steps to the light in front of the house. He made an unexpected yet familiar voice - "Weier?!"

Xu Weiwei also saw who was coming, and her tense nerves relaxed instantly. But seeing his current situation, she was still surprised and said, "Brother Ganz? Why... come up quickly!"
