Chapter 4 The School of Exhaustion
Lu Dongye drove the car and soon left the school.
The impoverished mountain village of Nanling is surrounded by mountains, with strange rocks protruding and isolated from the world.
A dirt road that has been carved out with great difficulty is the only way to connect with the outside world.
The dilapidated pickup truck driven by Lu Dongye was assembled many years ago, and the village chief spent a lot of effort to find professional people with special approval from the first place.
The village is almost entirely full of elderly people.
Having this car to bring daily necessities to the village shortens the distance a lot and saves a lot of effort.
It's just that at this time, there is only one bag full of wild fruits on the cargo box behind the pickup.
The teaching facilities in the mountain village are rudimentary, and the old principal sought help from the county education bureau more than ten years ago.
Since then, although special funds have been allocated every year, it is far from enough for the normal expenses of the school.
When the annual subsidy is about the same, the children face a reduction in food.
Lu Dongye, who grew up here, has a deep experience.
In the past, the old headmaster would occasionally go to the town to teach and pay out of his own pocket to subsidize the food for the children in the village.
But the old headmaster is too old now, and he has not been able to leave the village for many years.
At this age, children are the time to grow their bodies.
Lu Dongye didn't want the children's bodies to be destroyed in his own hands.
It can be said that the school is now really at the end of the mountain.
After he took over the school, the first thing he thought of was to find a good market for the wild fruits in the mountain village.
There is no arable land in the impoverished mountain villages, only wild fruits in the mountains.
A long time ago, the first people to leave the mountain villages made a living by selling wild fruits, but the profits were too small.
As time went on, everyone went out to work.
The wild fruits of the mountains are just so wasted.
After Lu Dongye grew up and walked out of the mountain village, he realized how fresh and sweet the wild fruits in the mountain village were.
He is confident that he will definitely find a good market for these wild fruits!
When he told the village chief about his plan to sell wild fruits.
The village chief immediately clapped his hands and decided to allow all the income from wild fruits to be used for the school in the mountain village to train the children in the mountain.
The kind-hearted village chief deeply understands that only by reading can he change the fate of poverty.
Although, over the years, the batch after batch of young people who have gone out have been trained, only Lu Dongye has chosen to come back.
But neither the village chief nor the old principal ever complained.
It is their lifelong hope to lift the younger generations of the mountain villages out of poverty, even if they ...... I'll never be able to get out of this mountain!
"Ahh
Li Xiaoyu's coquettish voice came from beside him, interrupting Lu Dongye's thoughts.
His brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at Li Xiaoyu.
I immediately understood that it must have been a bump in the road and rubbed against her wounds, which made her cry out in pain.
"Teacher Xiaoyu, you have to be patient a little, this section of the road in the village is uneven, and the bumps are a bit terrible. ”
Lu Dongye grabbed the steering wheel with one hand and lightly supported Li Xiaoyu who was leaning on him with the other.
Then he reassured: "When you get to the place in front where you can't drive, I'll carry you up the mountain, and it won't be so bumpy." ”
Li Xiaoyu nodded lightly, with a look of pain on her face.
She came to the mountain village from outside, and naturally knew that there was a road where she could not drive, so she had to rely on walking.
In normal times, walking naturally makes it difficult for Li Xiaoyu.
But after she was bitten by a snake, she fell down in a panic and sprained her foot.
Walking two steps on flat ground hurts your ankles, and it's impossible to get to town.
From the moment she first got in the car, her mind was full of pictures of Lu Dongye absorbing snake venom for herself.
She was conservative by nature, and after getting in the car, she didn't know how to open her mouth and ask Lu Dongye what to do on that part of the road.
She even thought a lot about how to talk to Lu Dongye so that she wouldn't be embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Lu Dongye didn't say a word as soon as he got in the car.
At this time, I heard him say that he had to carry himself......
While Li Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she couldn't help but be a little worried.
My weight is close to 100 pounds, to say the least.
Going up the mountain, even if you don't carry anything, is tiring enough.
If you add your own weight, then Lu Dongye ......
She saw that Lu Dongye's expression was normal, and she tried to overcome the embarrassment in her heart.
Mustering up the courage to say, "That...... Principal Lu, it's a long way, can you carry me alone?"
Lu Dongye sighed.
How could he not know the difficulty of going up the mountain?
However, Li Xiaoyu can't walk by herself, and she has no other means of transportation, so what else can she do if she doesn't carry her?
So, Lu Dongye took a deep breath, and his attitude was firm and resolute: "Teacher Xiaoyu, I can do it, you have to believe me!"
He deliberately said this to give Li Xiaoyu confidence and keep her from despairing.
After all, if she couldn't carry her over the hill on her own, she wouldn't be able to get further treatment.
People often have a lot of negative emotions in their hearts when they know that there is no hope.
And these negative emotions will stimulate the body to produce a lot of toxins!
When the time comes, maybe a healthy body will be ruined by negative emotions under the catalysis of snake venom!!
Lu Dongye deeply understands that the most terrifying cancer is often caused by patients who are angry, depressed for a long time, and live in negative emotions for a long time.
So, people's mood is really important.
Li Xiaoyu is his subordinate, and he is a passionate volunteer teacher with no salary.
As the principal, Lu Dongye has the obligation and responsibility to take care of her.
