Kerosene lamp, in Mu Yanbing's impression, seems to be only seen in books and movies.

It's the first time I've really seen her in reality.

After the shock, Mu Yanbing really discovered what poverty is.

In today's world where the Internet has connected the world into a "global village" and is full of smartphones and tablets, there are still places where kerosene lamps are used for lighting.

Compared with Mu Yanbing's shock, Lin Gang seemed very natural and normal, but the first time he came here, in fact, the shock in his heart was almost the same as Mu Yanbing. But as I came more often, I gradually got used to it.

The old village chief walked up to the kerosene lamp, picked the wick, and the bean-sized flame jumped a few times, and seemed to become slightly larger. As a result, the room became a little brighter.

In the dim firelight, Mu Yanbing sat on the stool, but unexpectedly, the stool shook slightly, and she almost saw her fall, but fortunately she stabilized her body in time to avoid falling.

"Teacher Mu, slow down, this stool is a little older, and it's not so strong." The old village chief said with a ashamed face: "Alas, I made you laugh at Teacher Mu." Our village of Narin is so poor......"

"Is this the case in every household?"

Mu Yanbing hesitated, pointed to the empty and very simple furnishings in the room, and asked curiously: "Don't you even have a TV?" ”

"Well, it's all like that." The old village chief nodded, "I'm alone, it's better, those who drag their families with their mouths, even I'm not as good as ...... We don't have a TV here, and there is no electricity in the village, so it's useless to ask for a TV, and we can't watch it. ”

"No electricity?"

Hearing this answer, Mu Yanbing's heart was shocked, how could this be like this in Narin Village? Before coming, Mu Yanbing thought a lot about the term poor mountainous area, and almost all kinds of situations. But she didn't expect that in fact, when she came here in person and saw it with her own eyes, it would be even poorer than she thought at the beginning!

Compared with here, Mu Yanbing suddenly felt that the outside world was as beautiful as heaven.

"Mr. Lin, you also sit, I'll go to the dinner." The old village chief greeted Lin Gang and asked Lin Gang to sit down as well, he tightened his clothes and walked outside the house.

"Miss Mu."

After the old village chief went out, Lin Gang looked at Mu Yanbing with a thoughtful face, smiled slightly, and said, "How is it?" Are you going to stay here for a while? ”

Before coming, Mu Yanbing had told him that in addition to taking a look with him this time, she also had an idea, that is, to be a music teacher here.

With Mu Yanbing's attainments in music, being a music teacher is definitely more than enough.

At the beginning, hearing Mu Yanbing's words, Lin Gang just smiled faintly. He knew in his heart that when Mu Yanbing came here and learned some about the situation here, it was estimated that he would probably throw away the idea of staying here as a teacher.

Lin Gang's words woke up Mu Yanbing, she came back to her senses, and when she was about to speak, her heart moved, and she subconsciously turned her head to look, only to see that the curtain didn't know when, it was quietly lifted up, and a small black head, like a mouse, quietly hid under the door curtain, looking curiously at Mu Yanbing and Lin Gang inside.

It was a child with a dark face, and his eyes were bright, like stars in the night sky, and they were very bright in the dim flames.

"Come on, come here, my sister will give you candy to eat."

Seeing this dirty child, Mu Yanbing's first reaction was to remember when she was in the welfare home before.

I remember when I was a child, every child who went to the welfare home was almost like the child in front of me, his body was dirty, and he could only see a pair of eyes. For an unfamiliar environment, they naturally have a kind of defensiveness and vigilance.

But as the time in the welfare home became longer and longer, the children who were resistant and vigilant at the beginning eventually dissolved into a family.

So when he saw this dirty child, Mu Yanbing did not dislike him, on the contrary, a very cordial sense of familiarity rose in his heart.

Perhaps because of Mu Yanbing's appearance, there was nothing terrible, hearing her words, the little child hesitated, and in the end, the handful of colorful and beautifully packaged sugar cubes in Mu Yanbing's hand made him make up his mind, muster up his courage, and get in.

"Come on, that's good."

Mu Yanbing saw this child, standing timidly in front of her, her eyes flowing with longing for the candy in her hand, she smiled, and secretly thought in her heart that it was really useful, "Come, give you a piece of candy, can you taste it?" As she spoke, she peeled off a piece of the candy cube in her hand and handed it to the child.

Looking at the sugar cube in Mu Yan's white and tender palm, the child swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard, and slowly and tentatively stretched out his hand.

Mu Yanbing saw his movements and snickered in her heart, of course, she knew that if she smiled now, she would definitely startle this child, so she could only look at him with encouragement and a smile.

It seemed that from Mu Yanbing's smile, the child quickly grabbed the sugar cube in her palm, stuffed it into her mouth, and then turned around and ran away quickly.

"Oops...... Sanmaozai, you little rabbit cub, don't you walk with long eyes and don't look at people? ”

Outside the door curtain, the old village chief's dissatisfied reprimand sounded, and immediately, he heard a sound of footsteps leaving, and the old village chief scolded and took a pot, lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Mu, there is nothing to eat in the village."

The old village chief put the pot on the ground, turned around and took out a few bowls from the box, put them on the table, and looked at Mu Yanbing apologetically, "I hope you don't dislike it." ”

"No, Uncle Chief." Mu Yanbing smiled at him politely. I was wondering what this dinner would be like.

The lid of the pot was lifted, and a strong smell of meat instantly filled the small room, perhaps because he was too tired today, smelling this smell, Mu Yanbing actually felt that his stomach was faintly rumbling a few times.

"Huh? Where did the pheasant come from? ”

Lin Gang poked his head out, glanced into the pot, and suddenly cried out in surprise.

"Hehe, I received a call from you, calculating that you are coming soon, and asked those young men in the village to go up the mountain to catch you."

The old village chief's face showed a little smugness, and he said with a smile: "It's still Mr. Lin's nose, and when you smell it, you know that it's a pheasant and not a domestic chicken!" As he spoke, he scooped out all the chicken in the pot and put it in a bowl.

"Hehe, you don't know, you have this pheasant on the mountain near Nalin Village, the taste is really a must, the last time I had the honor to eat here once, I have never forgotten this taste, and then when I went back, I also went to the restaurant to ask for this dish, but how to eat, I feel that the taste is not as authentic as eating here!"

Lin Gang said with a smile.

"Hehe, that's nature."

Hearing Lin Gang's compliments, the old village chief's beard shook and said with a smile: "The pheasants you get from the city are basically coaxing people, I'm afraid they just get the chickens on the mountain down, and then lie to you and say that they are pheasants...... Real pheasants, the meat is very small, but each piece is very tender, they run around the mountains every day, and the chickens you raise, there are two tastes at all...... Teacher Mu, come and try it. ”

As he spoke, the old village chief took a bowl of chicken and put it in front of Mu Yanbing.

This kind of big fish and big meat has long been tired of eating for Mu Yanbing, and besides, in order to maintain her figure, she rarely eats these greasy things.

But today on the tractor on the rugged mountain road, bumpy for a day, the stomach has long been empty, at this moment, smelling this appetizing fragrance, where can she still hold back, with greasy chopsticks, carefully sandwiched a small piece of chicken, put it in her mouth, chewed.

This chewing, suddenly felt, between the tongue, is an indescribable fragrance, and the usual chicken, is two different tastes, now the meat eats, delicious, seems to have a faint taste of herbs, mushrooms, the meat is very chewy.

"Well, it's really good."

Mu Yanbing couldn't help but admire.

"Hehe, you just think it's delicious."

Hearing Mu Yanbing's praise, the old village chief's eyes were almost gone, and he said: "Every time you come, you bring us so many things, and we don't have any good things to entertain you, only some local products from the mountains, as long as you like to eat." ”

Under the warm hospitality of the old village chief, Mu Yanbing and Lin Gang almost finished eating a pot of mountain chicken.

Mu Yanbing is okay, although the chicken meat is very delicious and delicious, but after she ate a chicken leg and chicken wings, she was almost full, and Lin Gang almost wrapped the rest round, even the chicken soup in the pot, did not let go, after eating the chicken, scooped a bowl of chicken soup with a bowl, and drank it deliciously.

At this time, the curtain outside flickered, and a cool breeze came in, and the corner of Mu Yanbing's eyes caught a glimpse of the corner of the curtain, which was quietly lifted, and a pair of smart eyes were quietly revealed.

Mu Yanbing smiled slightly in her heart, she recognized it at a glance, this ghostly little guy was the child just now, went and returned, and turned back.

It's just that she doesn't know why this child is hiding outside and doesn't dare to come in.

She thought for a moment, pretended not to see, and turned her gaze back.

The old village chief didn't know when, he lit a brass-colored cigarette pouch, smoked it beautifully, took a few puffs, knocked the cigarette pouch in his hand, his eyes fell on Mu Yanbing's body, hesitated, and said cautiously: "Teacher Mu, how long do you plan to stay this time?" ”
