The scorching heat of late summer fades, and the chill of early autumn sweeps over the land.

In the deep night, a slight drizzle fell on the square of Wujiang Railway Station, and the bustling crowd in the past was as bleak as a drizzle, and the neon lights reflected the night sky deeper and hazy.

There were more than a dozen people standing at the exit of the station, holding umbrellas and shouting the names of friends and relatives.

A tall woman attracted almost all the attention at the exit.

Gan Ziyi raised her eyes to look at the name of the station that was covered by the rain, and did not run towards the sheltered guard box and waiting room with the wolf bèi, but calmly stepped into the rain and fog, and walked quietly in the direction of the shouting of the long-distance bus waiting point.

She just walked quietly. As if she was outside this world, ignoring the drizzle wetting her hair, looking up at the distant night sky from time to time, that uninhibited demeanor and inexplicable bearing, the guide zhì several men with umbrellas who were going to come forward to talk to each other were discouraged.

"The car from Shunshan will start immediately, the last bus, who will go to Shunshan, sir, will you go to Shunshan?"

"Red River's, Red River's Qingyuan Mazui's ......"

"Miss, where are you going?"

"Qingshan, Qingshan, Luxi Qinnan Huanggang, the last five minutes, drive immediately......"

Hearing the word Huanggang, Gan Ziyi quickened her pace and walked towards the dilapidated long-distance bus.

A middle-aged woman standing in front of the car door with an umbrella immediately greeted her, and diligently helped Gan Ziyi with an umbrella, "Miss, are you going to Qingshan?" ”

Gan Ziyi asked, "Are you going to Huanggang?" ”

"Go, of course, if you want to pass through Huanggang, get on the bus quickly, there are few seats."

Gan Ziyi lowered her head and got on the bus, and when she got on the bus, she found that the seats on the bus were full, and she stood in the corridor and looked back at the conductor.

The conductor bent down and took out a few small benches from under his seat, "It's more comfortable to sit here......

Seeing that Gan Ziyi was a little hesitant, she hurriedly said: "This is the last train, if you don't leave, you can only wait for tomorrow morning's car, think about it, you have to stay in a hotel for one night, not to mention the waste of money, and delay the time......"

Gan Ziyi smiled, and was just about to sit down, when a panting voice sounded outside the car, "Is it the car to Qinnan?" ”

The conductor hurriedly got off the bus, "yes, yes, come up...... Ah! Why do you carry so much luggage? The suitcase under our car is full, what should we do......"

"If you can put it in the car......

The conductor hesitated for a while, "Okay, I'll help you carry it up......"

I saw the conductor and a young girl with soaked hair carrying a large box on the bus and placing it in the corridor behind the door.

Immediately after that, a large box was carried up, and the two boxes were stacked on top of each other, and the sight in the carriage suddenly darkened.

The passenger sitting at the front of the carriage was not happy, "Hey, conductor, can you not put it here, we can't move." ”

Others protested, "How unsafe this is! ”

The conductor said, "When you go out, everyone understands each other. No problem! ”

The young girl looked up and said apologetically to several travelers, "I'm sorry!" ”

The neon lights outside the car swept over her side face, and everyone finally saw her appearance clearly, a young girl who looked quite delicate, wearing an ordinary green plaid shirt, jeans, thin figure, a few slightly wet buns were messily tangled in front of her forehead, even in the flickering of the night light, you can see that her complexion is slightly dark, as if she has been exposed to the sun all year round, and the neon light that occasionally passes through caresses her side, and you can see a clear face covered with a faint layer of sorrow and exhaustion.

"Alright, let's go! It's full. Some passengers protested dissatisfied.

"Immediately, ...... immediately" The conductor took out a small bench and handed it to the young girl, "Buy a ticket first, go to Qinnan for twenty-three yuan, you have to buy a ticket for your goods, count two people, a total of sixty-nine yuan." ”

"Ah...... You also have to buy a ticket......" The young girl was a little overwhelmed, and said in a dry voice: "Can it be cheaper, I don't have enough money." As she spoke, she took out a large handful of loose money from her satchel and counted it silently.

"Not a penny less, we have rules! I didn't earn this money privately......" the conductor said in a firm tone. She had to say this a hundred times a day, and she was numb.

The young girl counted and said in a low tone: "All the money on my body is here, forty-three yuan and eight cents......"

The conductor said impatiently, "How can that be done?" If you don't get out of the car quickly, we can't delay everyone's time because you're alone. ”

The young girl begged, "Can I be accommodating once, I really don't ......"

The conductor said in an indifferent tone: "You are in business, you have the money to buy so many goods, but you don't have the money to take the car, you are too picky in business." ”

"No...... I'm not in business, it's two boxes of books, and I went to the neighboring province to give them to the school children......"

The conductor didn't want to hear her make up nonsense at all, strode to the door of the car, and pointed out of the car, "Please get off the bus, I don't have time to rub with you." ”

A group of passengers on the bus also heckled irritably, "Go down without a ride, don't waste our time......"

"Hurry up. We're all in a hurry......"

The young girl silently stood up from the bench, stretched out her slightly trembling hand to hug the big box, and suddenly, a slender figure stood up behind her, reached out and pressed the young girl's cold hand and whispered: "You don't have to get out of the car, I will help you out of your fare." ”

The young girl was a little confused, a little surprised, a little incredulous. In these years, whoever encounters something good first wonders if it is a trap.

Gan Ziyi raised her eyes and looked at the conductor at the door, "You can drive, I'll pay her fare." ”

"Oh...... Good! Okay, old Xu, drive. The conductor held out his hand neatly. Ticket. ”

"I'll go to Huanggang County." Gan Ziyi handed over a 100-yuan bill.

The conductor carefully touched and held it up under the light to look at it for a long time, "She went to Qinnan and added two tickets for sixty-nine yuan, and you went to Huanggang for twenty-eight yuan, sixty-nine plus twenty-eight...... It's ninety-seven dollars in total, and I'm looking for you for three dollars. ”

The young girl looked at Gan Ziyi and wanted to say something, but finally she sat on the bench in a dejected manner, bowing her head and pinching a handful of change......

As the car started, the stuffy air in the cabin improved slightly.

Gan Ziyi took out her mobile phone and headset, closed her eyes slightly, and her body shook slightly with the bumps of the car.

An hour later, the carriage began to empty as passengers continued to get off the train.

Gan Ziyi and the young girl sat in the same double seat, and the young girl plucked up her courage and stretched out her hand to squeeze the change for an hour, "Thank you for your kindness!" I'll pay you back forty yuan first, and twenty-nine yuan, please leave your address and name, and I'll pay you back next month......"

As she spoke, she pulled out a notebook and pen from her satchel.

Gan Ziyi smiled and pushed away her money and notebook, "When you go out, who doesn't have a difficulty, you can keep this money, when you get to Qinnan, you have to call a car to consign these two boxes of books......"

The young girl's lips moved, she bowed her head and said, "I thank you for the children!" But she still insisted: "Please leave your receiving address and name, and I will definitely return it to you in the future." ”

Gan Ziyi changed the subject and asked, "Are you a teacher at school?" ”

The young girl hummed softly, "Shigou Primary School in Sunjiatunzi, Qinnan County." ”

"Sunjiatunzi, is it far away from Guojiatun?" Gan Ziyi asked curiously.

"Do you also know Guo Jiatunzi? Sunjiatun is in the mountain behind Guojiatun, less than six miles away, but it is all mountain roads......"

Gan Ziyi said thoughtfully: "Are you on a business trip for the school?" ”

The young girl was silent for a long time, glanced at the two boxes of books, and said in a low voice: "This batch of books was donated by a group of volunteers, and I will go and get them back." ”

Seeing that Gan Ziyi was puzzled, she added: "I am a volunteer teacher, the school is very poor, besides, Sunjiatun does not have logistics, I can only pick up the books by myself......"

"How long have you been teaching?" Gan Ziyi sat up straight.

"Originally, it was a short-term volunteer teaching, just a summer vacation, but the children didn't have teachers, and I couldn't bear to leave them like this."

Although the young girl's voice was very calm, Gan Ziyi seemed to see her tears, she reached out and took out a box of wet wipes from her backpack, took out one, and silently wiped the girl's face with sweat or rain stains.

The girl was a little stunned and pursed her face slightly, and reached out to take the wet wipe, "Thank you, I'll do it myself." ”

"You are great!" Gan Ziyi suddenly said such a sentence, which made the girl's face shy, "I'm nothing, there are classmates who have volunteered to teach in the west for six or seven years, and there are those who have been rooted in primary schools deep in the mountains all their lives, they are really great people." ”

Gan Ziyi said softly: "Tell me about your elementary school." ”

The young girl raised her head, and a warm light flashed in her eyes, "I am a fresh graduate this year, and I signed up for the 'College Students' Volunteer Service Program in the West jointly initiated by the Ministry of Education of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League. At the beginning of July, three of our classmates came to Shigou Primary School together, due to the poor local infrastructure, traffic blockage, little contact with the outside world, medical and health conditions and teachers are very backward. ”

"Sunjiatunzi is a typical mountainous terrain with rugged roads and scattered populations, and it takes more than two hours for students who are a little farther away from the school to get to school. It is said that in the past, the school used to have 300 students, and the children of three or four nearby villages were all receiving enlightenment education in Shigou, but now, there are 28 students in the five grades, and there are three teachers, two of whom are local private teachers......

"What about the two fellow teachers you came with?" Gan Ziyi asked.

The young girl bowed her head silently, "They have left beforehand." ”

There is no need to ask, Gan Ziyi knows that these two people have not been able to persevere, "How long do you plan to hold out in Shigou?" ”

The young girl raised her melancholy eyes, "I don't know, I'll do my best to persevere until the day I can't hold on......"

Gan Ziyi was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "I'll accompany you!" ”

The young girl looked at her in shock, looked her inconspicuous expensive clothes up and down, and said, "...... It's so bitter there, you...... Planning to teach? Or ......"

Gan Ziyi shrugged and said: "Of course it's a volunteer teaching, I think teaching primary school students will not mislead people's children." How many days do you think I can last? ”

The young girl smiled slightly, "My children and I welcome you to go and have a look." ”

"That's a bit of a bully! Go and see, deceive me and can't endure hardship? Gan Ziyi said categorically, "I'll accompany you tonight, and I'll accompany you to get off in Qinnan in a while, and help you move these two big boxes by the way." ”

"Ah...... You're not going to Huanggang anymore? ”

Gan Ziyi smiled, "I was going to Huanggang to surprise a certain comrade, but it seems that the plan failed, so I will go to Shishigou." ”
