Chapter Ninety-Two: The Name Is Winter Night
"Old Headmaster!!"
Lu Dongye immediately heard the owner of the voice.
When he heard the voice, he saw that the old headmaster was standing in the doorway with his hands on the door frame.
The three of them couldn't help but quickly stood up.
The old headmaster walked in slowly on crutches: "Don't let the villagers take risks, when the time comes, if the situation is a last resort, let me rush out alone." ”
As he spoke, the old principal looked at Li Xiaoyu: "At that time, girl, you stand farther away and shoot, don't let those men see you, it's too dangerous, those animals will do everything at night." ”
Li Xiaoyu's heart was shocked.
She couldn't forget that if Lu Dongye hadn't been there today, she would have fallen into the hands of those big men.
What are the consequences...... Of course Li Xiaoyu can imagine it.
However, let an old man face a group of strong evil men?
Who can be ruthless with this heart!!
"Old headmaster, let's replace me. ”
The village chief had already stood up and took the initiative to greet him: "You are so old, don't toss, these things don't bother the old people in the village, let us young people solve them." ”
The old principal waved his hand and shook his head, his expression was extremely firm: "You are not young anymore, besides, you have bad legs and feet, don't take this risk, you can live for a long time...... I, a dying man, have already stepped into the coffin with half a foot, and I have long been mentally prepared. ”
There was a burst of excitement on the village chief's face, and he just wanted to say something.
The old principal interrupted suddenly, with an indifferent smile on his face: "Let me live, how long can I live? a year or two years?
Instead of doing nothing to spend the rest of this time, it is better to shine again before dying, which also makes me feel that I am still somewhat useful!!"
Li Xiaoyu looked at the old principal quietly and said these words flatly.
Suddenly, I felt a sour nose, and I instantly had some tears.
The old man in front of him was already gray-haired.
His waist was hard to straighten, his skin was full of wrinkles, and his eye sockets were deep.
It is this old man who has selflessly dedicated his life to the children of the entire mountainous area, and never asks for anything in return!
Even the students he taught never came back after they left the mountains......
But he never complained even a word!!
is such a life of selfless dedication, and finally ushered in a peaceful life in his later years.
However, as his life was coming to an end, he stepped forward once again!
Even though his physical fitness is no longer what it used to be, even if he is not even able to walk steadily.
But in order to protect the tranquility of the mountain village, in order to continue to let the children study with peace of mind......
He stood up resolutely and without the slightest hesitation.
Li Xiaoyu only felt that the old principal in front of him, who was less than 1.5 meters tall, was like a heavy and reliable mountain.
Majestic and tall!!
Tears blurred her eyes almost instantly, Li Xiaoyu quickly wiped them and couldn't help but look at Lu Dongye.
saw that Lu Dongye was already in tears.
Yes, he was raised by the old principal since he was a child.
Emotionally, I'm afraid the old headmaster is just like his father, right?
As a son, will he let his father die for himself?
"Old Headmaster...... Don't be like this, I'd rather give in to Chen Changyong, and I'll be sorry for Boss Du!!"
Lu Dongye, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
He had sorted out his emotions so that his voice no longer seemed shaky.
Li Xiaoyu and the village chief both closed their mouths, and neither of them said anything.
The old headmaster has made a great contribution to the whole village.
If they put the old headmaster in danger, they would rather give up everything!
It's like the village will never get better.
"Winter night, there may only be one chance to make the school better, you must not just give up!"
The old principal looked at Lu Dongye.
He had a loving smile on his face, and his deep eyes revealed a look of satisfaction: "You have grown up! You are already able to take care of things, you have done a good job during the time you took over the school, I have nothing to worry about, I am relieved to hand over the school to you." ”
"No, no, I can't put the old headmaster in danger, I'll think of another way. ”
Lu Dongye shook his head vigorously, he had never been so determined.
"Alas!"
The old headmaster sighed, but smiled again.
He raised an old hand and stretched out towards Lu Dongye with some trembling.
Seeing his arm raised, Lu Dongye hurriedly squatted down so that the old principal could easily stroke his head.
The old principal smiled serenely: "Child, don't be sad, we are all ordinary people, and we will inevitably die......"
Lu Dongye's voice was already a little choked: "Yes, that's the way to die, there are thousands of ways to die." ”
The old principal's expression suddenly became a little melancholy and sad: "On a winter night 26 years ago, I picked you up by the stream in the back mountain, so I named you Winter Night.
Although the name is a bit sloppy, but fortunately it is not too ugly, and the only regret I have now is that after 26 years, I have not been able to find your biological parents for you. ”
"It's not important...... It doesn't matter who my biological parents are!"
Lu Dongye's tone was full of determination: "In my heart, the old principal is my only relative!"
It was like a sip of liquor burning in his chest, and Li Xiaoyu felt extremely sad and angry in his heart.
Why should they suffer such a hardship just to make some money for their children and make their learning environment better?
Why should the old principal, who has done good deeds all his life, still have to risk his life in his twilight old age?
On what basis can parents who abandon their children be at ease?
Why should we face such a parting of life and death?
Why......
Li Xiaoyu couldn't hold back the impulse in her heart anymore, she suddenly said: "Don't, old principal, don't! It's a big deal, if someone starves to death, Chen Changyong will definitely not be able to escape responsibility!"
The village chief also suddenly came back to his senses, and nodded in agreement: "Teacher Li Xiaoyu is right, it's a big deal, we will continue to consume with them!!"
Only Lu Dongye didn't speak, because he knew that it was almost impossible.
The old principal shook his head and withdrew his hand, and Lu Dongye hurriedly helped him sit down.
I heard the old headmaster say: "It's impossible to starve to death, those people outside, even if they spend money to buy us food, they won't let people starve to death, he just needs to trap people here, but if we don't have food, then it's really subject to him." ”
Lu Dongye nodded quietly: "What the old principal said is right, Chen Changyong only needs to get us something to eat every day, even if it is unpalatable, as long as we guarantee that we will not die." ”
His voice gradually became calm: "And think one more step deeper...... If he tempts us with food, I'm afraid we won't last long, and even if the village chief and I don't agree again, we will still choose to compromise for everyone's sake. ”
The village chief nodded silently.
Li Xiaoyu was a little desperate: "Is there really no other way?"
No one spoke, and the atmosphere fell back into even greater oppression.
Lu Dongye gradually calmed down.
Let the old headmaster take the risk, he will never agree.
Even the idea of letting the other villagers take risks slowly disappeared in his heart.
This suddenly calmed down, and Lu Dongye realized a very important problem.
Immediately he blurted out, "Old Headmaster, how long have you been listening outside, and how did you know we were here?"
