"Sassy ......"

The chilly breeze blew through the branches and leaves on the hills on the side of the mountain road, and there was a sound of rustling,

A few birds landed at the foot of the mountain, among the weeds on the side of the mountain road, and from time to time they jumped lightly, looking left and right, looking for food.

The sun above the head has begun to set in the west, passing through the branches and leaves that extend from the top of the hill to the mountain road, reflecting the shade of the trees on the mountain road, swaying some sunlight.

Lian Ge stood beside the mountain road, looked at the village at the bottom of the valley down the slope, and paused again,

Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge turned around,

Listening to the sound of the Taoist words that followed the breeze blowing through the valley, Lian Ge moved his steps again,

Along the mountain road, a man and a mouse gradually drifted away, and the village in the valley also faded away behind him.

......

"Tweet ......"

In front of the wind with some chill blowing through the old man's house, the few bamboos by the yard,

A few birds landed in the yard and pecked at the weeds on the edge of the yard from time to time.

Through the half-open door of the hall, the wind with a chill disturbed the gray hair on the head of the old man sitting by the door,

Some of the people who had been around the old man had left for the time being, leaving some behind to take care of the old man and talk to him.

The old man sat by the door of the house, covered with the previous quilt, and looked into the distance outside the house with some cloudy eyes.

“...... Teacher, why don't we help you back to the house, the sun is going to set outside, and it's going to be cold. ”

Next to him, the middle-aged man from before reached out and straightened the quilt covering the old man, and said loudly to the old man,

When the old man heard the sound, he shook his head slowly, but he still looked out into the distance.

“...... Teacher Xun, who are you waiting for? Tell us, let's go and give a notice. ”

A woman next to her looked out at the old man's gaze and asked.

Hearing the sound, the old man struggled a little, turned his head, and looked at the few people around him with some cloudy eyes,

“...... Teacher, you say, let's listen. ”

A few people next to him hurriedly bent down and squatted down in front of the old man.

The old man looked at a few people, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything after all.

He just slowly turned his head again and looked into the distance.

......

In the village,

On the village road, along the village road, the villagers who had been to the old man's house walked back from the old man.

A group of people gathered, but they were all a little silent, and on the village road, only some footsteps were mixed.

“...... I was still tough when I went the other day...... ...... in the blink of an eye"

One of the men said aloud, his eyes couldn't help but be a little red,

“...... After all, he is older...... Teacher Xun has been tired for half his life, it's time to rest......"

Several people next to him were silent, and one of them raised his head and said in a loud voice,

“...... Have you been notified by the villagers?"

“...... In the house, I asked the second child to go to a house to talk about it, and those who knew the news had passed...... The ones who were outside were also announced, and they were calling one by one. ”

“...... Eh, Tian Sanwa, when are you coming back......

At this moment, a young man with a large bag of luggage greeted him and walked towards these people, and one of the villagers looked up and couldn't help but say hello.

“...... Just came back, you guys are ......"

Listening to Lian Ge's words, under the effect of Lian Ge's small magic, the young man carried his luggage, and walked all the way to the village without stopping, looking at this group of people, the young man couldn't help but ask,

“...... Just got back from the old man...... By the way, you put your luggage here first and we'll take it back for you, you hurry up and go to the old man's place...... The old man is dying......"

One of the villagers was silent, and then quickly said,

When the young man heard the sound, he left his big bags and small bags of luggage, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the old man.

......

“...... Teacher Xun, why don't you rest here, it's tiring to sit like this all the time. ”

In the old man's room, a woman who was taking care of the old man spoke to the old man again,

The old man shook his head slowly, still looking at the road in the distance,

The woman followed the old man's gaze again, and was silent for a moment, and did not speak again.

It's just that a few people accompanied the old man's side, accompanying the old man and waiting.

“...... Teacher, teacher ......"

At this moment, the young man hurried over from the far side of the village road and ran into the courtyard.

Looking at the figure of the young man, the old man's somewhat cloudy eyes revealed some brilliance,

“...... Learn, why did you come back at this time. ”

There was some nervousness and some expectation in his eyes, and the old man couldn't help but open his mouth and asked out loud,

“...... I couldn't get around outside, so I came back......"

The young man walked up to the old man, squeezed out some smiles, and said as easily as he could,

Just looking at the old man's appearance, he still couldn't stop his eyes were a little red,

“...... Teacher, you ...... How, how ......"

As he spoke, the young man couldn't continue,

“...... It's okay, it's okay, it's all this day, it's all this day......"

The old man smiled a little and said to the young man,

He gradually stopped his voice, looked at the young man, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything after all.

“...... When I came back this time, I thought that I couldn't get along outside, so I just came back to help the teacher teach the students, which is also a livelihood......"

The young man was silent for a moment, and continued, barely smiling on his face,

“...... I didn't continue after I finished high school, so you won't dislike me, teacher. If you don't want me, I'll have to go home and farm. ”

Smiling reluctantly, the young man said to the old man.

When the old man heard the voice, his eyes showed some brilliance again,

“...... Don't dislike, don't dislike ......"

The old man struggled to speak, and a smile appeared on his face again,

Just after that, the smile on his face gradually faded again.

He couldn't let go of that group of students, but, now, this one was also his student.

Some were silent, and the old man looked up at his students,

“...... studious,"

opened his mouth, the old man seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say anything,

“...... Teacher, you don't want to let me go. ”

The young man smiled reluctantly and said aloud to the old man.

The old man looked at the young man, just looking, and said nothing.

“...... Teacher, tell me how to teach students and teach me how to be a teacher. ”

The young man crouched down in front of the old man and said loudly.

"Good ......"

After a moment of silence, the old man nodded.

The few people who were watching next to them looked at the old man, and then at the young man, and vaguely understood what the old man was waiting for, so they got up one after another and walked to the side.

In the courtyard, the faces of the two ghosts were still cold, but after looking at the old man, they looked at the edge of the courtyard, and moved away from the distance.

......

“...... First of all, you can't imprison the thoughts and thoughts of these dolls...... We don't have anything here, that's all we have left......"

Leaning, with some effort, the old man spoke out to the young man squatting in front of him,

“...... I wrote it down, teacher...... Anything else?"

The young man nodded and agreed.

“...... Secondly, "

The old man spoke aloud, looked at the young man, paused again, and did not continue,

“...... Don't tire yourself too hard. ”

With great difficulty, the old man looked at the young man and said aloud.

Raising his head again, slowly turning his somewhat cloudy gaze, the old man looked into the room, then at the door to the backyard, and then turned his head,

“...... Learn, go and help me get the book on the cabinet in my house, I want to miss it again......"

“...... Okay, teacher. ”

The young man got up quickly, went into the room, and took out a yellowed book.

His hand trembled and he lifted it, and the old man took the book, and with great effort, spread it out and spread it on his body,

“...... This book is still a ...... given to me by my teacher."

“...... Learn and learn, and don't you say ......"

“...... Teacher, so preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts is also ......"

In the room, there was a burst of chanting, and then the chanting gradually subsided......
