Shanguo shrank back and wrapped the torn cotton jacket around him a little tighter.

The cold in the mountains in the early morning did not bring her much warmth, but she had to go into the mountains early in the morning, and there was no food left at home.

She took a piece of dry food from her bosom, which was a little hard, then crouched down and dipped it in the stream, and swallowed it with difficulty.

Her head was a little itchy, she scratched it, felt the clump of hair, she wet her hands and rubbed them, which was much more pleasing to the eye.

This creek is the passing point of Wangjiatun into the mountain, the water quality is very good, and the mountain fruit will drink water here to freshen up.

When she had finished her dry food, she straightened up and continued her journey.

When she squatted down, she couldn't see anything unusual, but when she stood up and walked a few steps, it was obvious that something was wrong with her - her legs were lame.

Her legs weren't born lame. When I was a child, I climbed the woods to dig birds' eggs, accidentally fell down and broke my leg, my family was poor, and I had no money for medical treatment, so my father had to cut two boards to fix it.

The broken bones healed without reconnection, so she became lame.

She searched earnestly to see where there were suitable wild vegetables that would not be astringent.

She didn't expect much to catch some pheasants and hares, her leg couldn't keep up with that speed.

"Mushrooms!" Soon, the mountain fruits were harvested, in fact, living in the mountains, although life is a little harder, as long as there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters, in fact, there is still no hunger.

She was in the midst of the joy of harvest, when there was a sudden big movement in front of her.

It's a big thing!

Shanguo's first reaction was to flee, and his second reaction was to lie down and pretend to be dead, trying to escape his life.

She held her breath, secretly deciding that no matter how much this thing tossed around, she would not move.

"Hey, wake up, what's wrong with you, wake up!" a clear, gentle voice sounded in his ears.

Only then did Shanguo open his eyes and look at the other party.

The morning sun has slowly risen, leaving dappled spots of light in the mountains and forests through the dense foliage.

Lying on the ground, Shan Guo looked at the figure in the backlight, and her angular and cold cheeks made her stunned.

This person is Yi Shuihan, who entered the mountain for the first time, and his intended destination this time is Wangjiatun, and he asked passers-by before going around here.

Unexpectedly, on the way, I saw a teenage girl lying on the ground.

In this deep winter mountain, his feet are numb from the frozen ground, and he must not freeze when he lies here!

Seeing the girl open her eyes, Yi Shuihan asked a little anxiously, "Are you okay, why are you lying on the ground?"

Shanguo was embarrassed to say that he thought he had encountered a wild thing in the mountains, so he patted his body and climbed up with difficulty.

"It's okay, it's okay, I accidentally slipped and fell, where are you going?" Shan Guo looked at Yi Shuihan curiously, it was difficult to see outsiders in this poor and remote place.

Yi Shuihan helped her up and said with a smile: "I'm going to Wangjiatun." ”

"Huh?" Shanguo looked at him suspiciously and said, "I live over there, what are you going to do?"

"That's a coincidence!" Yi Shuihan laughed: "I used to be a teacher. ”

Shanguo was in awe, although she hadn't gone to school for the past two years, she knew that the teachers who came to teach at the school were well-wishers.

Teaching in her place was basically unpaid, and every family respected these foreign teachers.

"I'll take you there, I'm just going back. Shanguo smiled sweetly.

"Okay, that's trouble. Yi Shuihan nodded and said.

After she walked a few steps, Yi Shuihan realized that there was something wrong with her legs.

Looking at the green ragged cotton jacket she was wrapped in and her nose that was red from the cold, Yi Shuihan couldn't help but feel a little sad.

If he didn't take a look at this mountain village, it was hard for him to imagine that there was such a poor place in Huaxia.

This strengthened his determination to contribute to these poor families, in his own way.

"Sister, what's your name?" Yi Shuihan asked with a smile as he walked alongside her.

Shanguo smiled and replied, "My Shanguo, Wang Shanguo!"

"Hello Shanguo, it's nice to meet you!" Yi Shuihan smiled.

Shanguo replied with a smile: "I'm happy for my younger brothers and sisters in the village, they finally have a new teacher. ”

The children of poor families are in charge of the family early, and in Yi Shuihan's opinion, although she is only a teenager, she is extremely mature.

Speaking of new teachers, Yi Shuihan also happened to know the school in this small mountain village.

"Is there a shortage of teachers in your school?" Yi Shuihan asked.

Shan Guo nodded and said, "Well, only the old principal and Teacher Chen, the other teachers stayed for a while and left......"

Yi Shuihan can understand this situation, the teachers who can stick to it here are all respectable, and he only hopes that his time here can make some changes......

Following Shanguo's slow pace, he gradually walked from the mountain to the entrance of the village.

His first impression of this remote mountain village was that it was old.

The gray gravel road, the bare rusty water pipes, the laundry table made of white bricks and cement slabs, the houses made of plaster wooden piles, the black tiles of the mud, and the bare trees with no leaves and no leaves, give the picture of old and old.

This scene may be new and interesting for those who live in big cities, but for those who live here, it is only a symbol of poverty.

"Guoguo, you're back!"

"Shanguo, have you gained anything from entering the mountains this time?"

"Shanguo, my chicken has laid an egg, you can take it back and eat it!"

Yi Shuihan entered the mountain in a hurry, and it was only eight o'clock at this time, but almost every household had already gotten up.

Seeing Shanguo coming back from the mountain, the people in the village greeted her with a smile, and the friendly and simple smiling face was particularly moving.

Many people also cast curious glances at Yi Shuihan, for the people of this small village, it is extremely difficult for them to see outsiders.

"Shanguo, who is this person behind you?" someone asked suspiciously.

Shanguo said with a smile: "It's the teacher who came here to teach, I met him in the mountains, so I showed him the way." ”

"Oh, hello teacher, come to the house and rest!"

"Hello teacher, thank you for your hard work. ”

"It's Mr. Teaching, old man, I thank you, for your hard work in the backwoods. ”

Everyone was in awe, and they all greeted Yi Shuihan with the most friendly attitude.

Yi Shuihan responded one by one with a smile, and from their smiles, he saw the friendliness and gentleness of the villagers, the thirst for knowledge and respect.

In the face of their sincere smiles and words of thanks, Yi Shuihan felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was much heavier.

"Shanguo, where are you going?" asked a young woman with a big belly who was pregnant as she passed by a house.

Despite her shabby clothes, Yi Shuihan still saw the motherly Guan Hui and full of happiness on her face.

"Auntie, I'm going to school, and I'll show the way for the teacher?" said Shanguo with a smile.

"Oh, teacher, go ahead, go ahead. The young woman smiled at Yi Shuihan and smiled friendlyly, then waved her hand and said.
