Chapter 1 Silver Mountain Wharf
I would like to pay tribute to the teachers on the island and the educators in the small county.

*******************************
Six o'clock in the morning, Silver Mountain Wharf.
A speedboat carrying passengers, like a big fish rising early to feed, is opening its mouth to devour a long procession.
At the end of the line, three young girls held hands and moved forward with the procession. They look fresh and clean, and they have a sunny and cheerful personality at first glance, but at the moment they are all red with red circles and silent.
The line grew shorter and shorter, and soon, the three girls reached the entrance of the speedboat.
"Don't go up all three together, one at a time. At the entrance, the white-clad crew urged calmly and enthusiastically.
"She's up, we're not. The best-looking girl in red, the best-looking of the three, pointed to the only girl with short hair and explained to the crew.
"Hurry up, then. The crew's gaze fell on the short-haired girl.
The short-haired girl's tracksuit was washed white and looked a little old, and she instinctively pulled the hem of her blouse under the watchful eyes of the crew, and her cheeks quickly flew red clouds.
In front of her best friends, she is an enthusiastic and unrestrained sunflower, and in the eyes of the opposite sex, she is a shy and restrained mimosa.
She is such a Jiang Xinnan with a contradictory personality.
Jiang Xinnan took the luggage from the hands of his two best friends and got on the speedboat with the support of the crew. The speedboat set sail with the three girls saying goodbye to each other, and changed from a greedy big fish to a majestic big fish.
Watching the speedboat cut through the wind and waves and quickly move away, from a big white whale to a small silverfish, but still leaving deep traces on the magnificent sea, the girl in red flashed many dialectical and heavy thoughts about "greatness" and "insignificance", "reunion" and "parting", "past" and "future", but her mouth easily teased: "There are only two left in the 'Three Musketeers of Silver Mountain'. Although it is a joke, it also hides loss.
Du Yunshu heard the melancholy in Shen Wenxue's words, and looked at her sideways: "What, regret it?"
Shen Wenxue was dressed in red for hunting, the pear vortex on Xiao Yuan's face was delicate, his eyes were bent into crescent moons, and the smile that had already radiated was like a bright fire burning through the morning light, "If you regret it, you won't call it a girlfriend." ”
The three of them grew up together, went to kindergarten, primary school, and middle school together in Taoli City, and studied in the same normal college in college. Although Yinshan Primary School is located on a remote island - Yinshan Island, the transportation is inconvenient and the conditions are hard, but the three girls are accompanied day and night, and they are happy, so it is not difficult to endure these three years. What's more, because they are always tired of coming and going together, and they are inseparable, the principal gave them the nickname: "The Three Musketeers of Silver Mountain".
Classmates, colleagues, girlfriends.
There is no more ingenious fate in the world, but there is no feast in the world.
After teaching at Island Primary School for three years, you can take the Teacher Entrance Examination held by the Taoli Municipal Education Bureau. This is an opportunity for many rural teachers to change their own destiny. Like many rural teachers, the "Three Musketeers of Yinshan" are also riveting their efforts to prepare for this exam, in addition to their own teaching work, the three of them are endorsing books and doing questions in their spare time, but once the list is released, the results are different: Du Yunshu, who teaches mathematics, is named Sun Shan, and Shen Wenwen and Jiang Xinnan, who teach Chinese, have been admitted. It's just that this year, the Education Bureau adopted the opinions of most principals in the city and added a provision to the city entrance examination document: If more than one person is admitted to the same subject in the same school, only one person can go.
Shen Wenxue gave Jiang Xinnan the opportunity to enter the city because Jiang Xinnan's father had leukemia. Jiang Xinnan is the eldest daughter in the family, and his younger sister and two younger brothers are very young, and they need a chance to return to the city to take care of their father with their mother.
Seeing Jiang Xinan away, Shen Wenxue and Du Yunshu walked back to school together, but before they left the dock, they heard a loud noise, and the two were startled.
"Someone has jumped into the sea!" soon a village woman who had risen early was shouting loudly in the street.
Shen Wenxue and Du Yunshu glanced at each other, full of horror, could the loud noise of Shicai be the sound of someone falling into the sea?
"Help, help!" the two of them hurriedly ran to the place where the voice came from.
After running a few steps, Shen Wenxue paused, her pupils widened, and a few traces of blood appeared in the whites of her eyes. High on the shore on the side of the pier, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy made a pose of jumping into the sea.
"Mo Xiaotong! That's Mo Xiaotong from our class!"
Shen Wenxue said to Du Yunshu while running towards Mo Xiaotong desperately, waving his hands and shouting, "Mo Xiaotong, what are you going to do? Mo Xiaotong, don't-"
The word "don't" jumped into the sea with Mo Xiaotong, and froze in Shen Wenwen's rounded mouth.
After a momentary short-circuit in her brain, Shen Wen came back to her senses, and she ran to the shore with all her might, shouting hysterically: "Help, help, help, is there anyone! Help!"
Du Yunshu, who was following her, was already crying: "Someone, help! Someone jumped into the sea." ”
Running all the way to the place where Mo Xiaotong jumped into the sea, Shen Wenxue wiped away her tears suddenly, and she saw a small figure in the sea floating in the sea: Mo Xiaotong was not looking for death, he was swimming in the sea while looking for something.
Shen Wenwen will come over, Mo Xiaotong will be water-based, he is jumping down to save the person who fell into the water before.
"Mo Xiaotong, pay attention to your own safety! Come up if you can't swim!" Shen Wenxue shouted to Mo Xiaotong in the seawater, and proposed to Du Yunshu, "Yunshu, I'm watching here, you go and rescue the soldiers." ”
"Okay!" Du Yunshu panicked and went.
Shen Wenwen knelt on the ground, her hands clenched into fists in front of her chest, her eyes staring at the sea for a moment, as if as long as she looked away, Mo Xiaotong would fall from the sea.
Soon, Mo Xiaotong caught something in the sea, and Shen Wenwen looked fixedly, it was a little girl. Mo Xiaotong had no intention of swimming, and continued to paddle in the water.
Shen Wenwen thought that someone else must have fallen into the sea, so she hurriedly shouted into the sea: "Mo Xiaotong, leave the others alone, send that little girl back to the shore first! Quick! Mo Xiaotong, if you run out of strength, even you will fall into it, and no one will be able to save you at that time!"
This time, Mo Xiaotong seemed to hear the teacher's voice, he grabbed the little girl with one hand, pushed the water back with the other, and pushed forward desperately with both feet. Shen Wenwen hurriedly ran to the dock to pick him up. When Du Yunshu moved in to rescue the soldiers, Mo Xiaotong happened to send the little girl to the shore.
"Teacher, help me take care of my sister, my mother is still in the water. Mo Xiaotong turned around and was about to go into the sea again, but Shen Wenwen grabbed him, "You can't go any further." ”
Mo Xiaotong's little face was already white, his lips were purple from the cold, and his face showed extreme tiredness.
Shen Wenxue quickly took off his coat and wrapped it around Mo Xiaotong, and pointed to the little girl on the ground to deliberately divert Mo Xiaotong's attention: "How to squeeze out the water in your sister's stomach, I won't, you hurry up, otherwise your sister will be in danger." ”
"But my mother ......," tears welled up in Mo Xiaotong's eyes.
"With them, they're going to save your mother!" Shen Wenxue pointed to the rescuer Du Yunshu found with one hand, and grabbed Mo Xiaotong with the other.
Mo Xiaotong is a child in the end, his energy is limited, and he has reached the limit of his ability to save his sister, if he goes to the sea again, he is afraid that it will be a problem whether he can come back, let alone save his mother.
Fortunately, the rescuers Du Yunshu found went to the sea, and Mo Xiaotong began to put pressure on his sister to control the water. In the end, he was born and raised by the sea, Mo Xiaotong is very experienced, he first removed the seaweed and other things in his sister's mouth, and then pressed one knee against his sister's abdomen, and after repeated pressure, the water in his sister's stomach spit out. When my sister cried out, Shen Wenxue and Du Yunshu exhaled at the same time.
Shen Wenxue asked Du Yunshu to hold Mo Xiaotong's sister, while he held Mo Xiaotong's hand tightly, afraid that he would impulsively run to the sea to save people again. Mo Xiaotong's hand was cold in her hand, and she was trembling. Shen Wenxue stretched out his hand and hugged Mo Xiaotong tightly in his arms, and comforted while feeling distressed: "Xiaotong, don't worry, the teacher will accompany you to send your sister to the town health center for another examination." Those uncles and uncles are better than you, and I'm sure they'll be able to get your mother back soon. ”
When Mo Xiaotong's mother was fished out of the sea, she was already a cold corpse, and at that time, Mo Xiaotong and his sister were asleep in the dormitory of Shen Wenwen.
