Ran for a long time.

Chen Changyong finally found out that Lu Dongye would not go to the road opposite the forest at all.

Angry, he suddenly shouted into the walkie-talkie: "Hey, don't block it at the other end of the forest, he ran in the direction of the village, you go to the village...... Hey, hey!"

Shouting and shouting, Chen Changyong found that the walkie-talkie seemed to be no longer working.

He simply threw it away and pulled his phone out of his trouser pocket.

There are trees in the forest, and the rain is relatively small.

Chen Changyong squeezed the water on his sleeve and used his sleeve to dry the water marks on his phone.

After trying to light up the screen, he ran to find the driver's phone.

……

The village chief hugged Yang Xiaoya, and together with Li Xiaoyu, rushed back to the school in a hurry.

Two people with not very good legs and feet, like a 100-meter sprint, can't care about the pain in their feet at all.

"Where?!"

The village chief yelled anxiously.

"Back Mountain! The old principal has gone to back mountain! I can't persuade him at all!"

Li Xiaoyu was about to cry.

When the three of them came to the back mountain, Li Xiaoyu held a flashlight and shone it for a while, and finally found the old principal who was kneeling beside the stream.

"Old Headmaster!"

The village chief hurriedly hugged Yang Xiaoya and limped over.

The old headmaster himself held an umbrella and knelt by the stream, but half of his body was soaked in the rain.

When he heard the village chief's voice, he turned around with difficulty and said, "Xiaoyu, you girl, why did you bring the village chief, didn't I tell you, I'm fine." ”

As he spoke, he leaned on the stone beside him and struggled to his feet.

"Old principal, what are you doing, I have to come to the back mountain alone in the middle of the night, and I am about to be scared to death if I don't let anyone follow. ”

Li Xiaoyu ran to the old principal, and when she saw that he was fine, she couldn't help crying.

While crying, he also helped wring out the old principal's rain-soaked clothes: "You are so old, and you have been drenched in so much rain, how can it be good if you suddenly have a fever and a cold!"

The village chief also rushed over with Yang Xiaoya in his arms.

It's just that the old headmaster waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, it's okay, let's go back now, don't stay here." ”

"Old Headmaster, why do you have to come here yourself!"

The village chief was relieved to see that the old principal was fine, and at the same time, he couldn't help but ask.

Not only is he strange, Li Xiaoyu also has the same doubts.

She didn't know why the old headmaster had to come here, or if he was alone in the rain late at night.

At that time, the old headmaster told her not to follow her with her serious look, but she was frightened.

When I was confused, I thought of going to the village to find the village chief.

"Here......"

The old village chief glanced back at the stream and muttered, "Twenty-six years ago, I picked up winter nights here. ”

Li Xiaoyu was stunned.

The village chief seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "By the way, I saw you carrying a small package back to school from the back mountain. ”

"yes, I don't know who left the child here. We didn't ask around the village, and I don't know why the people outside had to come over the mountains and come here and abandon the winter nights in this place......"

The old principal sighed: "Forget it, it's all old things, don't mention it." ”

Li Xiaoyu silently looked at the side of the stream, and couldn't help asking, "Then the old principal, why are you here tonight?"

"Ahh

The old headmaster let out a long sigh.

His gaze became deep and distant: "Winter Night has been weak and sick since childhood, especially when I can't remember, I once had a high fever, I took him to the town to get a drip, and the fever subsided, but after I came back, I had a fever again in the middle of the night.

I used cold water to cool him down, changing the water every five minutes, and the water was not cold in half an hour.

Later, I simply brought him to the side of the stream and used the stream water to cool him down, but I didn't expect his body temperature to drop in less than half an hour.

Not long after I carried him back, he began to have a fever again, but as soon as I carried him back here and washed him with the water of the stream, he did not have a fever.

Later, every time he got sick, I would carry him here, not to mention, I don't know why, every time he came here, his illness quickly healed.

I don't know why, maybe it's well ventilated...... I think it's a lucky place for a winter night...... Hehe, I'm so old, and I'm still engaged in feudal superstition, which really makes you laugh. ”

Li Xiaoyu hurriedly shook his head: "No, no! I am an atheist, and I will pray for the blessing of the gods in my heart when I am in a hurry!"

The village chief sighed slightly.

He looked at Yang Xiaoya, who was already asleep, and said, "Old principal, are you here to pray for Xiao Lu?"

"yes. ”

The old principal's voice was full of worry: "No, I'm a little worried about him, so I should come here and sit down!" I think that in the past, when I was young, I would kneel by the river to bathe and cool him down, but now, there is only one thought left. ”

As he spoke, the old principal's face suddenly swelled with beauty, which soothed the wrinkles on his face a lot.

He smiled suddenly: "I still think he can be safe." ”

At this moment, everyone fell silent.

Li Xiaoyu felt that her nose was sour, and she almost burst into tears again.

It is said that they pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and their mothers are worried...... Although the old principal is not Lu Dongye's parents, he is better than his parents!

Think about the children you start with a big palm and slowly raise them.

The babbling is still in front of me.

Now, facing the siege of hundreds of people, how can you not worry in your heart?

"It must have been hard for him to rush out alone. ”

The old headmaster spoke again.

He silently looked in the direction outside the village and muttered, "In a blink of an eye, he has grown up and is a man who stands up to the sky." ”

"I don't want Principal Lu to stand up to the sky, that's too tiring. ”

Li Xiaoyu suddenly spoke.

Her tone was a little complicated: "I just hope that Principal Lu can be safe, I also want to see Principal Lu smiling at me, old Principal, you may not know, since Principal Lu left, I have been praying to the gods for protection." ”

The old headmaster smiled, and smiled kindly.

He stretched out an old hand and gently patted Li Xiaoyu's shoulder: "Let's pray for the winter night together." ”

The village chief nodded, and said the same: "Pray for Xiao Lu." ”

At this moment, they did not see it.

In every house in Nanling Mountain Village, there is a gap in the door.

The young children, through the gaps, looked at the villains at the head of the village, or beyond.

I silently prayed for Lu Dongye in my heart.

Even the elderly who are resting in bed have difficulty sleeping at this time.

Looking at the ceiling, or the sacrificial platform at home, he also prayed silently for Lu Dongye in his heart.

Lu Dongye indeed carried the hope of the whole village.

But it also carries the blessings of the whole village.
