Chapter 129: Oath
Hearing Duan Yixin’s question, Chi Xiyou’s lips curved up. He motioned her to sit down and asked, "Xin Xin, can you tell me how you grow strawberries and Chinese cabbage when most farmers are struggling in this hot weather?"
Duan Yixin, who was sitting in front of him, stared at Chi Xiyou for a long time before saying, "Before I answer your question, can you answer my question first?"
Chi Xiyou nodded and said, "Mhm, you ask."
Duan Yixin was silent for a while and asked, "Elder Brother Xiyou, why do you want to know how I grow them?"
After hearing her question, Chi Xiyou thought for a while and replied, "After the bandits attacked our village, many men died while women and children were kidnapped. You must know this, right?"
Duan Yixin nodded when she heard the words, and Chi Xiyou continued, "That night, many families lost their fathers, sons, and husbands. As for the survivors, most of them are starving at the moment."
Recalling the bloody night when she traveled to this world, Duan Yixin fell into silence. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Elder Brother Xiyou, do you want me to share my knowledge with the villagers?"
Chi Xiyou nodded at her as an answer. Seeing that Duan Yixin was deep in thought, he asked cautiously, "You... don’t want to?"
Duan Yixin shook her head and said, "It’s not that I’m unwilling to share my knowledge. My teacher once told me that having knowledge without sharing means stopping learning. Only by sharing and imparting knowledge to others can people learn more from the exchange of ideas. In the long run, teachers may learn something new from their students."
