The old village chief at the moment of dying, like a candle swaying in the wind, may be extinguished at any time. He was still in good spirits a day ago, who would have thought that he would become like this in the blink of an eye.

Out of the corner of the old village chief's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Liu Xinghao standing aside, and his withered arm was raised with difficulty, as if he had something to say to Liu Xinghao.

"Xinghao, come here and listen to what the village chief has to say to you. Uncle Huo beckoned to Liu Xinghao, his brows were tightly locked, his face was covered with haze, and the whole person looked much older.

Liu Xinghao was also very puzzled by what the village chief would say to him, so he quickly stepped forward to the old village chief's side, grabbed his hand, and responded: "Old village chief, do you have anything to say to me?"

I saw the old village chief's lips tremble slightly, and he struggled to spit out a few words: "Children...... I'm sorry for you...... Teach them...... Multi-recognition...... Some Chinese characters ...... "At the last moment of his life, the old village chief was still most concerned about the children in the village."

"Old village chief, don't worry! I will definitely teach them well. Liu Xinghao didn't think about it, so he agreed to it.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, the old village chief smiled slightly on his face, and closed his eyes with peace of mind. These short words had exhausted the last of his mental strength. I saw that his hand suddenly went limp, and he hung down weakly...... The old village chief, who had been rebellious all his life, couldn't imagine that he would leave in such a hurry......

The cry of compassion gradually sounded, remembering the old village chief's care for everyone in the past, and the villagers' faces were all filled with tears of sadness. Even Uncle Huo, who has always been strong and resolute, couldn't help but soak his eyes.

Liu Xinghao bowed deeply at the body of the old village chief. For this kind and generous elder, he respects him from the bottom of his heart. It's just that the death of the old village chief seems to be a little strange, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that something is not right. Quietly pulled Uncle Huo aside to a place where no one was around, and asked softly, "Uncle Huo, wasn't the old village chief still fine yesterday? Why is it suddenly like this today?"

"I don't know, it is said that with the body of the old village chief, it will not be a problem to last another seven or eight years. But who knows how to say no, it won't work. Uncle Huo shook his head weakly, his face full of regret.

"You say, could it be that someone poisoned him?" Liu Xinghao's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day!

"Poisoned, who would do such a lack of morality?" Uncle Huo's eyes, which were not big, instantly widened a lot because of surprise.

"I don't know, it's just a guess on my part. Do you find that the old village chief's face is not normal, that color is very abnormal!" Although Liu Xinghao has not studied medicine, he has watched TV series and movies about poisoning people for so many years from childhood to adulthood, and these at least doubts can still be seen.

"That's right, when the old man in the village died before, he hadn't seen anyone with such a face!" Uncle Huo thought about it carefully, there was indeed something wrong, the old village chief's bruised face was very suspicious!

Liu Xinghao asked again: "From yesterday to this morning, who has the old village chief come into contact with? Have you eaten anything special?" Do you know?"

"This ......" Uncle Huo thought for a while, and was about to answer, but he heard the footsteps of someone walking this way, and suddenly stopped talking.

"Lao Huo, what are you doing here? Yo, Teacher Liu is also here. "The person who spoke was Gao Guangrong, a big grain grower in the village. He is not much older than Huo Jingui, and the hair in the center of his head is about to fall out, and they all say that smart heads don't grow hair, which is really right. Gao Guangrong's pair of eyes rolled around, and at first glance he was a shrewd and capable person.

"Ah, it's okay, we talked a couple of words here. Are you looking for me?" Hawking replied and took over.

"I'm not looking for you, you see, the village chief left in such a hurry that he didn't even prepare a coffin. On this hot day, let's not hurry up and cut down a tree to make a coffin, the body of the old village chief, but we can't wait. "What Gao Guangrong said is also the truth, the current weather of 30 degrees, let alone a corpse, is a piece of fresh meat, and it stinks at room temperature.

"Okay, we can't wait, let's leave now, and we have to call a few more people. "Just do it, Uncle Huo's resolute temper, this is about to set off.

"I'll go with you too, Uncle Huo. I can also contribute to cutting trees and lifting wood!" Liu Xinghao followed and said to Uncle Huo.

"Don't go to this kind of heavy work, stay and teach the children. We'll come as soon as we go. Uncle Huo patted Liu Xinghao on the shoulder and left him behind. In this Wangbei Village, you can find a lot of people who cut trees and move wood, but there is only Liu Xinghao who may teach children to learn to read and write.

"Okay, Uncle Huo, be careful. I'll look for you when you get back. The last wish left by the old village chief when he left was to hope that the children could study hard, Liu Xinghao did not insist anymore, and it was most important to do his part first.

After seeing Uncle Huo and his party leave, Liu Xinghao found Xiao Cong and assigned him a task: "Xiao Cong, you go and help me call all the children in the village, let's go back and continue the class." ”

"Hmm. "Xiao Cong, this kid, is smart and quick. After a while, all the children in the village had been summoned by him.

Seeing that the children had arrived, Liu Xinghao cleared his throat and said eloquently: "Children, a very regrettable thing happened in the village today. Grandpa the village chief, left us forever......"

"Teacher, teacher, has the village chief and grandfather gone to heaven?" the little girl with pigtails couldn't help but interject.

"Hmm...... I think it should be. Liu Xinghao looked at the little girl's pure big eyes and nodded firmly.

"Teacher, isn't that a beautiful place?" the little girl became more confident when she saw that the teacher agreed with her.

"Uh...... Heaven...... It should be very beautiful......" Liu Xinghao looked up at the sky, what this heaven is like, who can really know. Perhaps, it's really beautiful there......

"I really envy the village chief's grandfather, if only I could go to heaven, it would be good. "The little girl is childish, and all she says is childish words.

"No matter how beautiful heaven is, you can't go until you become the village chief and grandfather. Okay, okay, let's get to class. ”
