"It's hard to find this place. Huang Chenxing unloaded the small bag behind him, took out a map from it and began to mark, in addition to marking our location, he drew a circle in an area near the river.

"But you found it. ”

"Ms. Lu, when I was a soldier before, I went to remote places, and even when I was training, I only gave a map in the no-man's land. ”

"But Brother Xing...... Theoretically, you should have arrived yesterday. I looked at Huang Chenxing, although I wasn't familiar with it, I still couldn't help complaining.

Huang Chenxing glanced at me, still serious, his tone was not hurried, as if he was talking about something not very important: "We have to hurry, when I came out this morning, I felt that I was being targeted." ”

"What?"

"I've been dumped by me. He pulled out a dagger and tied it in the hem of his trousers, "But we'll have to speed up, just in case." ”

When I heard this, I became nervous and couldn't help but speed up my pace. After walking into the mountain for a long time, I saw the canyon that the villagers pointed out to me yesterday, and at a glance, I couldn't see any people. The villagers told me that there would be wild beasts at night, and at first I didn't feel much of a description of it, but when we saw some non-human footprints by the river, I still had goosebumps on my back. After another two hours of walking along the winding gorge, searching along the rushing river, I saw a few rows of low houses behind a mountain.

"Is it a school? It's very similar to my elementary school environment. ”

Huang Chenxing glanced at the buildings in the distance, took out the map and crossed it out: "Like, it seems to be a playground...... But why is there still a high-voltage power grid outside?"

I stared at the ordinary wire, and was very surprised, and sure enough, a sparrow landed and fell down in a moment.

"Didn't you say that there are many snakes and insects in the mountains, and there are blind bears, maybe it's to protect the students. ”

Huang Chenxing frowned and shook his head, not quite agreeing: "The fence can also work, and there are so many students, the high-voltage power grid is more dangerous......

I also had some doubts, so I asked another question in my mind: "According to the information, this primary school is to gather orphans from all the surrounding counties and cities, and the middle school and primary school are integrated, so there are more older children, and it is both an orphanage and a place for nine-year compulsory education." It's just that...... The orphanage is too remote...... This is even more detrimental to the physical and mental growth of children. ”

"I went to check the ** file yesterday, and this Xinfeng Township Central School is different from several others. In particular, most of the children in junior high school are mentally handicapped, and after these children recover their health, they can go out to live a normal life outside, be adopted, subsidized, and so on. But the strange thing is that those who have not recovered need to be sent to a nursing home for treatment. Even stranger is the address of the nursing home that received them......"

We were divided into two routes, Huang Chenxing was responsible for finding clues in the city, and I was responsible for direct visits. It's strange when I think about it, I don't think the nursing home can be associated with the child.

I only heard Huang Chenxing continue: "It's next to the Jiangjun Mountain Mental Hospital, and I don't know if I want to recuperate or prepare to let the patient assimilate them." ”

The doubts in my heart were added to the suspicion, and we chose a high ground to observe from a distance, and as we spoke, there were really a few students in the school. In my memory, when we were children, we all walked together in pairs and threes, but these students who got out of class all went quietly and went directly to another classroom, and there was no teacher watching them, everything was their own behavior.

Huang Chenxing and I looked at each other, and we both felt very weird. I wanted to take a closer look, and as soon as I stepped out of one foot, I saw a girl in the team, looking at us, looking only seven or eight years old, although dozens of meters away, but her eyes were sharp and cold so cold that I felt like I was being stared at on a cliff, and there was a chill behind me. I thought that this girl was going to ventilate or something, but I didn't think that she turned around and walked unhurriedly, walking towards another classroom, until all the students disappeared from my field of vision, I suddenly turned back, and was just about to open my mouth but found that Huang Chenxing was gone.

I turned my head back and forth in amazement, only to see him leak out and wave his hand behind a large rock.

Me: "?"

Huang Chenxing said in a low voice: "That girl's eyes are not right......"

"Your anti-reconnaissance awareness is too strong!" I also had a faint premonition in my heart, but it was not to the extent that Huang Chenxing said.

"You may have to go through it on your own. ”

"Well, if that girl really has a problem, we can only fight the snake together, you can pick me up outside. ”

I squatted down and pretended to organize my backpack, and after briefly discussing the plan with Huang Chenxing, I got up and walked towards Xinfeng Township School. I don't know where it comes from, there is always a sense of tension about going into the tiger's den in Longtan.

I try to use every excuse I can think of to understand all the irrationality of this school. The gates of this school are two airtight steel doors, probably because they are all boarding students, and there is no need to open them at ordinary times...... All walls were wrapped around two high-voltage coils, and barbs were hung from the coils, probably to protect them from wild beasts...... The only place where the air is ventilated seems to have been hit by something, and the high-voltage line has filled the hole...... It should also be for the protection of wild beasts.

"Hello, I'm ##报的记者 and would like to do an interview with your school. ”

The gatekeeper was a young man, who looked very capable, not at all like the janitor I remembered. He poked his head out and looked at me for half a minute before answering with a smile: "Wait a minute, I'll report to the leader." ”

Mandarin is very good, unlike all the teachers in the mountain village schools I have seen before. I tried to adjust my expression, trying not to show a hint of panic, and withdrew my eyes from staring at the janitor.

Five minutes later, the steel door slid open, and a middle-aged man came out of the school to introduce me, I chatted with the man while looking around, judging from the environment in the school, this is an ordinary school that can no longer be ordinary. The highest of the school building is two floors, probably considering the geographical environment, there are no high-rise buildings, the playground is not badly built, you can see that the track has been hardened, and there are two decent basketball hoops and table tennis tables.

As he walked, the man introduced me to the school's facilities and history.

"Director Wang, is there still barbed wire fence wrapped around the wall of the school?"

"Reporter Luo, do you know, there are a lot of wild animals around the school, you said that there are so many children in the school, if a blind bear comes in at night, how dangerous it is, this barbed wire fence is also to protect the children. ”

I nodded again and again, "It's still thoughtful of you."

"Then let's go to the principal's office to talk? The principal is out on business today, and he should be back in a while. ”

I waved my hand and declined Director Wang: "I want to see how the students are studying first, you see it's almost five o'clock, I have to go back before dark, otherwise the road is not safe." Are they going to be out of class in a moment?"

Director Wang hunched his back and nodded: "I understand, it's not safe in the mountains when it's dark." So let's take a look?"

He said as he led me to the school building.

"Reporter Luo, are you here alone? How dangerous it is for you to come alone in this deep mountain and old forest!"

With a smile on my face, I quickly wondered if he was lying to me or if he was just just worried. I shook my head helplessly and said: "Hey, it's really unlucky, it's a coincidence that the camera broke down yesterday, and my colleague took it back to the city to repair it, no, I had to come by myself, after all, the interview itinerary can't be delayed, and I have to see the newspaper next month." And we have been running the news all year round, and we haven't been anywhere, but we are just going into a mountain, as long as we go back before dark, what danger can there be, you say?"

Director Wang smiled and sighed: "It's not easy for you reporters......

As he spoke, he invited me to enter through the back door of the classroom, and I heard the sound of the organ in the hallway, and it was the students in this classroom who were taking music lessons.

"Seagulls, seagulls, our friends, you are our good friend......"

The teacher taught a sentence, and the classmates sang a sentence, what a warm picture, if I hadn't seen the little girl who scared me just now, I would probably have watched this show without any doubt in my heart. That girl looked so innocent, and her eyes also revealed the emotions that she should have at this age, and she was the same as the two of them just now.

"This is a first-year student, and I just happened to have music class today, so let's go and see the next classroom?"

I woke up from the shock, smiled and nodded to Director Wang, and then I saw the students in physical education class, the students in Chinese class......

"Director Wang, can I talk to the children if I want to?"

"Of course you can, but many of the children here have psychological problems, after all, most of them are abandoned orphans, so you may be careful when you ask questions......

I nodded, and picked out a second-grade child in physical education class: "Baby, can you tell Auntie your name?"

The kid tilted his head to look at me, a little hesitant, glanced at Director Wang who was smiling on the side, and then slowly opened his mouth shyly: "Zhang Huaisheng." ”

"What do you like most about school?"

The child seemed to think about it seriously and said childishly: "Canteen!"

I seemed to have an illusion, Director Wang's face changed, Zhang Huaisheng's body shook imperceptibly, as if he was keenly aware of something, and said in a childish voice again: "But the canteen is being renovated during this time, it's so annoying!"

His eyes revealed the disappointment of children of this age, and indeed for today's children, the playground and cafeteria are the most popular places.

I then asked, "What's your favorite teacher?"

"Physical education teacher!"

"What do you like to take?"

"Physical education class!"

I touched his head and said, "Well, let's go play!"

Then I found another child, and the answers varied from the classroom to the stadium, but the students I saw all made me feel awkward, but this awkward feeling seemed familiar to me.

I scribbled it in my notebook and finally got the conversation back to the Chan Foundation.

"Yes, it's really a conscientious enterprise! They donated such a large number of schools!"
