"Teacher Chen? Oh~ Isn't that an elementary school teacher? Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Zhang Wei's father was stunned for a moment when he heard that Chen Xiaowen was coming, but then reacted again and hurriedly asked.

"That's right. He came to my house for dinner. Zhang Wei nodded and confirmed Zhang Wei's father's words, "That, Wang Xin is likely to have an accident, as for the chaos at home, wait a minute." ”

"I know that Teacher Chen Xiaowen is coming, so why don't you sort it out quickly." Zhang Wei's father stood up, "Wang Xin's matter, this morning I saw Lao Wang's corpse, I felt bad, it's no wonder we." Your mom is doing much better, I woke up just now and heard your mom talking nonsense. I should wake up tomorrow. Hurry up and tidy up your home first. ”

Zhang Wei's father is also an honest villager, and he has great respect for Chen Xiaowen, who gave up his good life in the city and came to the countryside to teach in the classroom for so many years. After speaking, he cleaned the house with Zhang Wei, and showed it to Mr. Chen Xiaowen in a mess, and it always felt bad.

After cleaning and tidying up the house and heating the dishes again, Chen Xiaowen dragged his tired body to appear at the door of Zhang Wei's house, "Is Zhang Wei at home?" ”

"Hey, Mr. Chen, you're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time, fast forward, fast forward." Zhang Wei's father heard the voice, and immediately greeted him with a smile, looked at Chen Xiaowen, who was a little tired, and hurriedly welcomed him into the house and took a seat.

When Zhang Wei was admitted to university, Zhang Wei's father couldn't get the tuition fee for a while, so he made up with the villagers, but the villagers' money was only enough to live, and they couldn't make up much money for Zhang Wei to go to school. At this time, the appearance of teacher Chen Xiaowen solved Zhang Wei's school problem, and the stack of tuition fees was only Chen Xiaowen's savings for teaching over the years. Zhang Wei's father took the money at that time, and he was so moved that he almost knelt down.

Everyone in the village knew that Chen Xiaowen was a volunteer teacher, but his parents in the city were strongly opposed, and they had to go to the mountains for a bright future, so they broke off the relationship. The scattered coins received from Chen Xiaowen's hand, Zhang Wei's father also felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.

"Zhang Wei's father. Don't be so polite. I'm embarrassed, it's late today, so I took the liberty to come to your house for dinner and sleep, I'm really embarrassed. "Zhang Wei's father is so enthusiastic. Chen Xiaowen was a little embarrassed.

"Teacher Chen, your kindness, our Zhang family has always remembered, what a presumptuous, too outward." Zhang Wei's father pressed Chen Xiaowen. Let him sit with peace of mind, then went to the kitchen to leave some food for Zhang Wei's mother, and pulled Zhang Wei out to eat together, "Teacher Chen, since you are here today, don't be polite, our family is also a little coarse tea and light rice, will you not be used to it." ”

Zhang Wei's father patted his head, "Oh, look at my memory, I forgot to buy wine." Teacher Chen, you can wait. I'll go to the shop and buy you wine. ”

"No, no." Chen Xiaowen hurriedly stood up to stop Zhang Wei's father, but Zhang Wei's father ran out with a smoke, he was afraid that Chen Xiaowen would be polite to him, no matter what, the wine must be drunk, and he can't be polite to himself!

"Zhang Wei, why did your father run so fast, I wouldn't drink." Chen Xiaowen couldn't catch up with Zhang Wei's father when he saw it, so he gave up. But in his mind, he also planned to prevent Zhang Wei's father from opening the bottle, so that he could return it when the time came, "How is your mother's health?" ”

"It's much better, I guess I'll wake up in a while, or at night." Zhang Wei gave the vegetables to Chen Xiaowen. I also took a bite of food and said truthfully.

"You don't have to serve me vegetables, why are you so polite." Chen Xiaowen hurriedly took the bowl and didn't let Zhang Wei continue to pick up the vegetables.

"Teacher Chen, this is what I should do. How's going on with Grandpa Wang? Wang Xin。。。。。 ”

"Grandpa Wang has already been buried, Wang Xin's words. Found in the pond at the entrance of your village, the whole person is like being bitten by a vampire, the blood is gone, and it has become a human being! Chen Xiaowen replied, obviously he was also taken aback when he saw Wang Xin's appearance before, this person can die in such a way, it is really miserable.

"Ugh." Although he had thought of Wang Xin's death, and also conceived of many possible ways for Wang Xin to be killed, when he heard this death, his heart still sank suddenly, and a cool breath rose in his back, sighing Wang Xin's sorrow, and having a strong fear of that piece of gold, where did this piece of gold come from? It's so bad.

"This matter is over first, don't think too much." Chen Xiaowen also knew Zhang Wei's sadness and consternation in his heart, and immediately persuaded him to let go of this matter, Grandpa Wang has been buried, and his responsibility has been completed, so don't put too much pressure on yourself.

"That's right." Zhang Wei shook his head, ate a few more bites of food, and exhaled, as if releasing the pressure in his heart, "That's right, Mr. Chen." Why did you choose to be a volunteer teacher in the first place? Is it bad in town? If not, why do we all go to university? What about getting out of the mountains? ”

"Well, there's a little knot in my heart." Chen Xiaowen listened to Zhang Wei's question, and his body shook, as if the wound had been uncovered and there was a sudden pain.

"What heart knot? Teacher, let's listen to it, don't hold it in your heart. Zhang Wei said, "I'm also your student, and it's okay to tell me." ”

"Okay. This matter has been hidden in my heart for a long time, and I have dreamed of it several times at night, and my heart is also confused. You're the only one who can make me talk like that. Chen Xiaowen put down the chopsticks, exhaled a breath, and slowly took out the knot buried deep in his heart, completely dissected it, and showed it, "That was when I was in college, I joined the Youth Volunteer Association, participated in the activities of teaching in the mountains, I went to a poor mountainous area, the school accommodated students from several villages, and many students' homes were far away, I was worried that the students would have accidents, so I decided to accompany the children who were far away to go home. ”

Chen Xiaowen said slowly, his expression became solemn, and it was as if Zhang Wei had brought Chen Xiaowen's memories into it。。。。。

On this day, it is still the scorching sun, even if it is already five or six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun still does not weaken, the dullness of the air makes people feel uncomfortable for a while, Chen Xiaowen has sent most of the children home, only one child is left, and he needs to climb a mountain to get home.

It is also the most dangerous way home for this child, when he walks to the mountainside, he has to coil around the mountain, detour behind the mountain, the bottom of the foot behind the mountain is the bottomless river, the water flow is very fast, every time Chen Xiaowen walks here, he will always let the child lean inside. Walking outside by yourself, you are careful with every step, because this aisle is too narrow. And the ground is uneven, if you are not careful, you will fall, I heard that there were students who were greedy for fun, chasing on this road, and accidentally falling down. After a while, the person was swept away.

"Be careful." Chen Xiaowen pulled the child away, walked slowly on the mountain road, stretched out his head to look down at the turbulent water, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva, "Go slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”

The child is very sensible, leaning against the mountain wall, not speaking, walking slowly, to the uneven place. will also kindly remind Chen Xiaowen, "Teacher, there is a pit here, lean in, it's too dangerous outside." ”

"Uh-huh. The teacher knows. Chen Xiaowen said with a smile, and at the same time moved his steps inside, the further the mountain road went, the narrower it became, and Chen Xiaowen became more careful.

"Boom, boom." After walking forward for a while, Chen Xiaowen faintly heard thunder in the distance.

"Is it going to rain? It's also so muggy. No way. You have to hurry up, otherwise it will be too dangerous to walk this mountain road in the rain! Chen Xiaowen said, subconsciously speeding up his pace and moving forward, this summer rain. Either it doesn't rain or it's very large, and if you encounter a thunderstorm on this rugged and narrow mountain road, you may fall into the river if you are not careful.

After only a few steps forward, the dark clouds in the sky were dark and heavy, and the leaves on the trees began to sway wildly. The wind rose in an instant, rolled up the dust on the ground, and blew into Chen Xiaowen's eyes.

"I'm grass, isn't it. Is it going to rain so soon? Chen Xiaowen stopped and rubbed his eyes, trying to rub out the sand in his eyes.

A blue lightning bolt pierced the sky and imprinted on Chen Xiaowen's somewhat worried face. There was a burst of thunder, and Chen Xiaowen reflexively twisted his face, "Hurry up." Hurry down the mountain. ”

Another great thunderclap was like a landslide cracking the earth, as if the earth had been shaken, and heavy rain poured down from the sky

, smashed on Chen Xiaowen and the child.

"Bad luck." Chen Xiaowen put his hand on his forehead, and grabbed the child tightly with the other hand. The resistance brought by the howling wind made it very difficult for Chen Xiaowen to take a step forward.

The ground under his feet also began to become viscous because of the infiltration of rain, and the soil mixed with the water.

"Come on, just go down the mountain, and you'll be fine." Chen Xiaowen was worried about the child, and turned his head to look at him, "Are you afraid?" ”

The child, who was blown by the strong wind, puffed up his chest and said, "Teacher, I'm not afraid." ”

"Well done! Good boy! Chen Xiaowen wiped the rain on his face and praised it.

Before he finished speaking, Chen Xiaowen felt that his left foot was empty, as if it was hanging, and in an instant, an invisible force was pulling Chen Xiaowen's left body down.

Before Chen Xiaowen, who was unprepared, could react, he fell!

At that time, the rainstorm was very violent, and the raindrops as big as bottle caps fell on people, and they could feel a burst of pain, and the heavy rain fell on Chen Xiaowen's body, and before he could feel the pain, his feet were empty, and the whole person felt that there was a force dragging him, and the sudden sense of falling instantly stimulated Chen Xiaowen's inner survival instinct.

Even Chen Xiaowen didn't have time to react, one of his hands quickly pulled on the edge of the mountain road, the force of this grasp and the force of the fall pulled each other, only to feel the pain in the shoulder as if it was about to be torn, and before he could shout, he felt a small warmth on his wrist come up, and he was exerting.

"Teacher, catch it!" Chen Xiaowen looked up and saw that it was the child he was going home with, holding his hand tightly, his face was full of panic and worry, but he was so resolute, a look that would not let go.

"Xiao Yi, let go, stick your body to the mountain wall, don't worry about the teacher anymore, otherwise you will fall too." Chen Xiaowen also climbed the edge of the mountain road with his other hand, looked down and saw that the turbulent river had become more ferocious, one wave after another, and the back waves swallowed up the front waves, splashing heavily. It's like boiling water, if you accidentally fall down, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to struggle. I don't know where to go.

Looking up at Xiao Yi again, his face was flowing with rain or tears, his eyes were red, and he shook his head desperately, but he refused to let go, "Teacher, you said that you want to take us to the city to have a look, and you have to teach us to read and write." You must not be fine! ”

This voice, sentence by sentence, with a crying voice. The stimulated Chen Xiaowen's eyes were also a little red, but he looked at Xiao Yi's skinny body. 6, 7, 8 years old. Where can I pull myself? Once you can't hold on, you will have to fall down with Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi's life has only started for a few years, and he suffered a lot at birth, his father died, and his mother remarried. He lives with his grandmother, and he has no fewer calluses on his shoulders and hands than those adults. As long as you can continue to study, you will definitely be able to be admitted to university, get out of the mountains, and feel the superiority, convenience and comfort of city life. How could Chen Xiaowen bear to let this child fall with him.

"Xiao Yi. Let go, the teacher can come up by himself. "A mouth, a lot of rainwater was poured into the mouth, and I hurriedly spit out. The arms began to be pushed up hard, but the support point under the feet has not been found, and he has basically cut off contact with physical training in college, which is equivalent to a pull-up action, only to feel that the elbow is like an iron nail, no matter how hard the arm is, it just can't bend much, and the body that has just been pulled up a little bit falls back violently.

After trying again and again, Xiao Yi's frightened hand grasped it tighter. Chen Xiaowen also felt that the strength of his body was getting less and less, and he was about to lose his strength, his arm was already sore, and he looked down at the turbulent river below. Gritted his teeth again and persevered.

"Teacher, teacher!" Little Yi shouted like a frenzy. Although Chen Xiaowen has not been teaching for a long time, because he is in the city, he is exposed to a lot of information, and he is also humorous and outgoing, and often tells stories to children. Educate children with stories to make boring classes interesting. After class, he mingled with the children, and unconsciously, Chen Xiaowen was not only a teacher in the minds of the children, but also a friend, a brother, and a relative worthy of his love!

"Xiao Yi, listen to the teacher, if you let go of your hand, the teacher can make strength, otherwise it will be inconvenient for the teacher to exert strength. The teacher has never lied to you, believe the teacher. Chen Xiaowen felt that his strength was about to be hollowed out, and he was ready to try it for the last time, but if it didn't work, he could only give up. However, Xiao Yi can't follow himself into an accident.

"Teacher~ We don't want anything to happen to you, we don't want to lose you." Xiao Yi cried wow, although he couldn't see the tears, but the voice was so sad, revealing a lot of sincerity, which made Chen Xiaowen's heart cold.

"Trust the teacher, the teacher will not lie. Let go and lean close to the mountain wall. ”

"Teacher, you must come up!" Xiao Yi hesitated for a while, shook his lips, and seemed to have made a difficult decision in his heart, and finally let go of his hand, but he refused to retreat and get close to the mountain wall.

"Silly boy!" Chen Xiaowen said unintentionally, this is the last attempt, and his feet began to kick hard towards the rock wall, trying to kick out a small pit to support himself.

With each kick, there was a piercing pain in front of the toe. Although the rock wall has been softened by the rain, the mixed stones will not soften a little because of the rain, kicking on the rock wall, the pain again and again, so that Chen Xiaowen almost turned around, unable to grasp the edge of the mountain road.

At this moment, even if Chen Xiaowen doesn't look at his feet, he can feel how damaged his toes have been. Gritting his teeth, he kicked hard again, only to feel that something on the rock wall flipped and fell. Chen Xiaowen was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly stepped towards the turning place with his foot, and sure enough, it was a pit where a stone turned and fell.

This time, Chen Xiaowen can be regarded as having a support point, stepping on it with one foot, catching the power of the foot to support upwards and then matching the pull of the arm, Chen Xiaowen actually half of his chest did not cross the edge of the mountain road, poked his head out, Xiaoyi saw Chen Xiaowen coming up slowly, and his heart was also full of joy, and he hurriedly went up to take a hand.

Pulling it up for a while, his fingernails clasped tightly on the mud of the mountain road, using this as a support point, and pulling himself forward little by little. Finally, after paying the price of nail wear and bleeding, Chen Xiaowen's upper body finally pulled up, his legs climbed up, and he used his strength again, and the whole person also turned up.

Chen Xiaowen, who was out of danger, exhaled a long breath, and hurriedly sat down with his back against the mountain wall, panting heavily, this time he had emptied all his strength, if he couldn't come up, he would have to go down.

Looking down at his feet and fingers, the flesh and blood were blurred, and when he moved slightly, there was a pain.

Xiao Yi walked to the opposite side of Chen Xiaowen, and also saw Chen Xiaowen's injured toes, covered with loess, but still bleeding out, "Teacher, it hurts." ”

Chen Xiaowen noticed Xiao Yi at this time, saw that he was standing on the edge of the mountain road, and hurriedly shouted, "Xiao Yi, come in quickly, it's too dangerous on that edge." ”

Maybe Chen Xiaowen cares too much about Xiao Yi, as soon as he is excited, there is a feeling of stinging nerves in his toes, and there is no warning in one foot, and the conditioned reflex is to lift it violently.

It was the sudden, unavoided, conditioned reflex kick that caused Chen Xiaowen's inner pain, every time he thought of this incident, Chen Xiaowen felt that his heart was like a knife, and he often woke up in a dream, feeling the residual pain of his heart, which then caused painful self-blame and guilt.
