If it weren't for the confirmation of the address sent from Chen Lingxi's mobile phone, Han Hao couldn't believe that he had driven 11 hours from the capital, but he still hadn't arrived at the so-called destination.

Gaode map has completely no guidance, leaving the capital soon after it lost its due function, now in addition to a few major cities, like the city level of the road only highway display, out of the highway becomes a white screen.

If it weren't for Han Hao's map with him, and the money he gave to the taxi driver to lead the way every time he went to an unfamiliar place, he would probably get lost halfway and didn't know the direction.

After driving alone for 11 hours, looking at the map and 40 kilometers of mountain roads, he had to find a hotel to rest in the evening.

Han Hao regretted in his heart, he should have brought a driver, he felt light when he walked down the ground after driving alone all day.

picked up his mobile phone to dial Chen Lingxi's number, and found that the user could not be connected, and he looked at the text message he contacted the other party, which was still a week ago.

Since Chen Lingxi went to the mountains to teach with the Huaqing University teaching team during the summer vacation, Han Hao's text message contact with the other party has been almost completely cut off. He sent a text message, and Chen Lingxi did not reply to the text message for three days at the earliest, and ten days at the latest. Because her primary school in the mountains has no mobile phone signal at all, she can only receive a reply when she gets to the market in the town.

According to Chen Lingxi's living method, a group of 10 of them will carry out 45 days of volunteer teaching activities in primary and junior high schools in the corresponding mountainous area, and now a month has passed. In the intermittent contact, Han Hao knew the difficult conditions of the other party.

The original brand-new SUV "Tang" was already covered in mud, but fortunately it did not lose its chain after a long run, and the four-wheel drive system was still stable on dirt roads.

After letting the shopkeeper fry a few side dishes, Han Hao had the opportunity to look at the current situation of people's lives in the small county town deep in the Taihang Mountains.

"Boss, you are from the capital, are you visiting relatives or friends!"

Seeing that Han Hao's car had the license plate of the capital on it, the whole person looked like an extraordinary temperament, and the shopkeeper asked after finishing the food.

"Go to Chenjiawan to find a friend, I heard that the mountain roads there are more rugged and difficult to walk, right?"

Han Hao was hungry for a long time, picked up the chopsticks and buried his head in eating, and replied during the interval.

"Chenjiawan, that is the poorest place in our county, there is an old local saying that a woman should not marry Chenjiawan, so as not to have tears in her eyes. The road to the countryside often collapses, so you should be careful when driving. ”

Knowing that Han Hao was going to Chenjiawan, the shopkeeper admonished with a sincere face.

"It used to be a dead-end road, but later the old men of Chenjiawan carved out a road in the cliff, known as a hanging wall road, and ordinary people were scared to their legs for the first time. ”

Seeing Han Hao's somewhat disbelieving appearance, the shopkeeper continued to introduce the hardships of the road.

After listening to the shop owner's introduction, Han Hao understood why Chen Lingxi took several days to receive her text message, and the place she went to was really remote.

After returning to the room and taking a hot shower, Han Hao felt transparent and his fatigue was swept away. Since leaving Xiao Qianyu's room, Han Hao has begun to miss this girl who gave him an unusual feeling. He had an urge to see each other as soon as possible, so he bought a ticket to fly to the capital on the same day and drove more than 700 kilometers alone to this strange mountain town.

Thinking that he would be able to see the beautiful woman tomorrow, Han Hao was a little excited, and it took a long time for his tired body to gradually fall asleep.

Early the next morning, with the sincere blessing of the store owner, Han Hao took "Tang" and one car to start a new journey.

When he really came to the so-called hanging wall highway, Han Hao looked up at the foot of the mountain and found that the highway was like a needle and thread carved out in the body of the mountain, and the winding needles and threads were deeply rooted in the depths of the mountain, and every needle eye condensed the wisdom and blood and sweat of the local people.

Fortunately, there are not many vehicles, and every time you make a mistake, you have to take the initiative to stop and let the other party pass first, and there is an abyss next to the wheel of less than half a meter. At first, Han Hao was still frightened, but later he was numb, as long as he looked ahead and didn't look down.

On a short 40-kilometer mountain road, Han Hao drove the "Tang" for two and a half hours, sometimes a row of cars turned off and pulled over to wait for the oncoming vehicles to go first. On the road, I saw many old sites of landslides, and there were road maintenance workers on dangerous sections who are now directing through. Stop and go all the way, the gravel road is very thrilling, to be honest, the scenery along the way is very good.

After turning a big bend down the mountain, the front is open, and you can see the place where people live, especially above a relatively new and beautiful three-story cement house, a five-star red flag flutters in the wind.

In the context of universal compulsory education in China, all beautiful buildings in remote rural areas are schools.

With experience, Han Hao knew that if he drove towards the red flag, he would be able to find the target person of his trip.

The appearance of an SUV with a Beijing license plate on the streets of the countryside immediately attracted the attention of many locals, who speculated about where the big man had parachuted into the mountain nest.

Parking the car at the school gate, there was no doorman at the open school gate, and Han Hao walked directly into this mixed school, a teaching point where primary school and junior high school were combined into one.

The sound of reading aloud came from the classroom, and perhaps these students knew that only by reading could they get out of this mountain.

"Students, why do birds fly south in winter......

As soon as Han Hao walked into the classroom on the first floor, he heard a familiar female voice. He followed the sound and walked over quickly, and sure enough, through the glass, he saw Chen Lingxi holding a whip on the podium with a smile on his face.

Compared with the impression, the other party is obviously much darker, and she has lost a lot of weight, it seems that the environment here is really a test, but her spirit is very strong.

Han Hao, who was standing by the window, quietly looked at the girl who was explaining seriously on the podium, and felt that she looked very dazzling in the sunlight.

Soon, some students found Han Hao, who had been standing outside the classroom window, and Chen Lingxi, who was originally lecturing, finally noticed the movement outside, and turned his head to see a familiar figure.

At first glance, I felt that I had seen the wrong person, because how could Han Hao appear here. But subconsciously following the direction of the student's turn, Chen Lingxi still looked out the window and found Han Hao standing by the window with a smile on his face, obviously waving his hand to greet him.

Shaking his head, Chen Lingxi thought that he was in a trance, but he didn't expect Han Haozhen to be outside the classroom.

At this time, she realized that this was the real thing!

"Uh...... Everyone will study on their own first, and the teacher will go out for a while. ”

As Han Hao, suddenly appeared here, this is definitely heavy news.

"You...... Why did you come here all of a sudden?

Seeing Han Hao, Chen Lingxi was too surprised, so that she didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

"I sent you a message yesterday morning, I guess your mobile signal here is relatively slow, and it hasn't been transmitted to your phone yet. ”

When Han Hao came here, he found that his mobile phone had no signal, so he knew why the other party's text messages were always not received. In the remote mountainous area, mobile communication equipment has not yet been set up here, so naturally there is no mobile phone signal.

The beautiful female volunteer teacher suddenly ushered in the visit of a strange young man, which made many students in the classroom come out to see the situation.

"Wait for me, I'll be right back. ”

Chen Lingxi returned to the classroom, explained that the class leader was responsible for helping to manage, and then hurriedly pulled Han Hao out of the campus.

Seeing the muddy SUV, Chen Lingxi understood that Han Hao was afraid that he had driven here for a long time. At that time, they came here as a group of volunteers, from train to bus, and from bus to minibus, all the way to this somewhat isolated teaching location.

"It's been hard for you to come all the way, isn't it? The first time we took a minibus through the walled road, many of us were so scared that we got sick from the car. ”

In order not to cause a sensation at school, Chen Lingxi asked Han Hao to drive to a remote place. Sitting in the passenger seat, she struggled to resolve the embarrassment between them.

Han Hao came all the way here, but he didn't let him drink saliva, so he hurriedly pulled him away, and Chen Lingxi didn't know why he did this. To be honest, Han Hao's sudden appearance made Chen Lingxi, who had always been calm and assertive, very confused.

"Fortunately, the scenery here is very good, I am too busy with work during this time, I want to find a place to relax, just come to you to have a look." I didn't expect you to be able to stay in such a difficult place for so long. Don't blame me for being honest, you've got a lot of tans, and you're not as pretty as you used to be. ”

Being able to stay alone with Chen Lingxi, opening the car window, the faint fragrance of the beauties around him hit with the wind, making Han Hao feel that he had not come in vain this time.

"It's okay, but I look in the mirror every day and don't find anything unusual. ”

After hearing this, Chen Lingxi quickly turned his head to the right rearview mirror and said.

"You are in the abalone, and you don't know its smell for a long time. And I entered the room of the orchid, and I didn't smell its fragrance for a long time. ”

Han Hao quoted the verses of the Analects and made a wonderful analogy.

"At least here, stinky abalone is worth a lot more than orchids!"

When he came to the mountainous area to teach, Chen Lingxi felt that there were so many poor Chinese people around him, who were living below the food and clothing line.

In Chenjiawan, food is more popular than a bouquet of flowers.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

A big man like Han Hao suddenly appeared, and Chen Lingxi couldn't figure out the other party's intentions.

"I just said a lot, just come to travel and relax, just to see how your teaching is doing. ”

Seeing the other party's worried look, Han Hao also knew that his sudden appearance might have scared the other party, so he said so in an ordinary tone.

"Alas, I didn't expect this place to be so poor and difficult before I came, to be honest, I also retreated, but I was embarrassed to back down as the person in charge of teaching, so I gritted my teeth and persevered until now.

To tell you the truth, I cried the first time I called home here, and if my dad hadn't persuaded my mom, she would have come to me to go home.

......

A quarter of the students in the class I just taught can't afford the tuition fees at home, so they let their children study on credit until the end of the year, and then settle the bill......"

Maybe he has been suppressed here for too long, but seeing Han Hao, Chen Lingxi told everything he had seen recently.

“...... There was a fifteen-year-old female student who was still in class the day before, and the next day she got married and went into the cave room. The locals seemed to be accustomed to this, and no matter how much I tried to persuade them, the schoolgirl just didn't want to come back to study, and she said that she had to think about her brother, who didn't marry a daughter-in-law......"

No girl wants to marry into Chenjiawan, so it is popular here to solve the problem internally, buy one get one free and pair each other. The female student in Chen Lingxi's mouth agreed to marry into another family in order to let the brother who beat the bachelor marry a daughter-in-law, and the other party also promised the children to her eldest brother.

Seeing that young female students could not control their own destiny and made sacrifices for their families early to marry women, Chen Lingxi could not understand why there was such a feudal and ignorant existence in modern civilized society.

For these high-achieving students who came to teach in the capital, the local government that paired with Huaqing University attached great importance to them and took care of them as treasures, so Chen Lingxi and others were very safe here.

In addition, when paying agricultural retention and arresting superbirth, all kinds of disputes and contradictions occurred in the local area, which allowed college students in the ivory tower to see the real and cruel side of society.

"Why is there such a big gap between what we see and hear in the classroom, in books, and in the TV and newspapers?"

In just one month of teaching, Chen Lingxi was so confused.

"The world is not as good as you imagined, nor as bad as you imagined. The reason why you feel that you see the good side of the world is because someone helps you cover the bad side and allows you to grow positively and optimistically. Now you finally see the bad side because your wings are stiff and you can fly high in the sky and see more of what you couldn't see before. ”

Looking at Chen Lingxi with a confused look in his eyes, Han Hao shared his personal experience, but he still took the opportunity to say the true purpose of his trip.

"If you don't mind, I hope to be the one who shields you from all the bad and the dark, so that you can live in the light for the rest of your life!"
