Chapter 5 Reopening the School

The next day, Qin Xiao decided to go back, because he knew that if he didn't know Makou Village at this time, the villagers would definitely think that they were also taken away by ghosts, and they would definitely be panicked, so Qin Xiao got up and said to the old man:

"Old man, you are a former G soldier, and now you have stopped fighting for a long time, you can go out with me, how about it?"

The old man got along very well with Qin Xiao, and knew that Qin Xiao would not lie to him, but he had lived in one place for so many years, even if it was very hard, but he was unwilling to change, and he had not been ignorant of the world for many years, and suddenly he entered the society, and he would inevitably be ugly and behaved, so although he couldn't fully speak clearly, Qin Xiao could see the hesitant expression.

Qin Xiao didn't delay, so he turned back to the old man and said, "If you haven't thought about it yet, I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you in a few days, and then it's not too late for you to tell sΓΉ." You can rest assured, no one will harm you, this is a new society. Also, old man, don't steal anything from the village again, I'll bring you something good next time. ”

With that, Qin Xiao went all the way down the hill and returned to Makou Village along the way he came.

There was no one for a day, and there were not a lot of fish sacrificed in the pot, and the old horse told Qin Xiao his action plan that night, and the villagers felt that although Qin Xiao was a little virtuous, he still couldn't fight this powerful ghost, and it was estimated that he had lost his life.

The village party secretary was also scared, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurried to the town to report the situation truthfully, and the comrades from the town police station came immediately, but it happened that at this time, Qin Xiao went down the mountain and rushed back.

Qin Xiao saw that there were police officers coming over in the town, and thought that he could take this opportunity to report the situation to the higher-ups, so in the house of the village committee, a middle-aged comrade from the town's police station asked about the specific situation.

Qin Xiao talked about how he followed the "wild man" that night, how he finally found the place where the wild man lived in seclusion, spent a day with him, made friends, and learned that he was a former G Army soldier. After the defeat, he hid here for decades, and told the comrades in the town one by one.

After hearing this, the comrades in the town said that they would immediately go back to check the archives, and even asked the military to help verify whether there had been a liberation battle in this place. But when Qin Xiao asked how to deal with the resettlement of this person, the comrades in the town said:

"Don't worry. We will do our best to send someone to pick him up from the mountain, and as for the aftermath, we will send him to the best local nursing home so that he can live out his old age in peace. ”

This is also what Qin Xiao is most worried about, so he said: "I can't hide it. When I got along with the old man, I also asked her if she would like to go down the mountain, but he was noncommittal. It seems that he still has concerns, and I think that our government work cannot but take into account the opinions of the elderly, and now that he has become one with the mountains, he will also be afraid of letting him enter our society all of a sudden. Therefore, we should not force it on this issue, and I will go back and continue to persuade him, besides, the old man has not yet recovered the ability to communicate with others. If you think it's good, I'll tell him again. If he wants, I'll take him to live with me first, after all, he still trusts me, and after a while, he can talk, how about we listen carefully to what he thinks? ”

After listening to Qin Xiao's words, the comrade also felt that this was a good idea, so he agreed, and asked the Mokou Village Committee to assist Qin Xiao in dealing with it, and he did not delay going back to report.

After the town comrades left. Everyone knew that the reason why this place had been haunted was because there were former G Army soldiers hiding in the mountains and forests, so everyone also took the initiative to come out and go to the fields. The riverside path also resumed its usual life, and everyone talked about it, and the whole news spread quickly.

Now that the truth is clear, Qin Xiao asked Liu Zhishu to quickly release a broadcast, so that the children could come back to school, and also asked the villagers not to hurt him when they met the old G Army soldiers.

It didn't take long. The schools in the mountain villages are lively, and the children are gradually returning to school, and even many children from other villages have come back to school.

In fact, there are only more than 50 students in the entire primary school, plus the occasional family incident, it is already good to be able to ensure that more than 40 people are studying on weekdays, when Qin Xiao saw the children, his first feeling was one word - honest.

Qin Xiao remembered that when he was a child, some people said that he was quite "honest", in fact, he thought he was a good boy at that time, but when he thought about it later, he understood that he was ignorant of the world, or could be used as a synonym for "stupid".

Qin Xiao has already found that these children in the mountains are usually used to following Lao Ma, and Lao Ma is also one of the few people in the village who has gone to school, so he knows it very well; When they saw Qin Xiao, the children's feelings were curious and fearful, Qin Xiao couldn't help but feel funny, thinking that he had just driven away a ghost, and the children now regarded themselves as "ghosts" again.

And the source of a qiΔ“ is that the child grew up in the mountains, and he knows little about the outside world, and after seeing Qin Xiao, he will be afraid of the unknown qiΔ“. This psychological barrier of the child or the obstacle of communicating with oneself is the first thing to solve.

So on the same day, Qin Xiao and Lao Ma gathered all the students together to hold a flag-raising ceremony, which was also a school opening ceremony.

There are two classrooms in the whole school, and the children are roughly divided into two classes, and there is no specific grade division, but the older children are gathered together and counted as the upper grades, and the younger children are counted as the children in the lower grades in a class. After the flag-raising ceremony, Lao Ma and Qin Xiao led all the children into the upper grade classroom, and everyone crowded together to prepare for a class meeting.

First of all, Lao Ma introduced Qin Xiao's arrival to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome everyone to go back to school again, this time we also sent a young college student teacher, who is your Teacher Qin." ”

The classmates all applauded and welcomed, Qin Xiao was a little nervous, he had always been a student, but he didn't expect to stand on the podium suddenly this time, and he couldn't help but be a little nervous. But this nervousness immediately turned into motivation in Qin Xiao's body, and he calmed down and said:

"Students, I will take you with your teacher Ma in the future, you are all children who have never been out of the mountains since childhood, do you know why you want to come here to school?"

Qin Xiao saw that no one answered, so he continued: "It's okay, you can speak freely, who will come first?" ”

But at this time, there was still no child who took the initiative to speak, so the old horse spoke:

"Wang Wenke, you talk about it first."

The old horse knows. Wang Wenke was the class president appointed by himself, so he let him take the lead in speaking, only to hear Wang Wenke get up and say: "The purpose of our coming to school is to learn knowledge, and we will not be unproductive in the mountains for the rest of our lives." ”

This is a standard answer. Qin Xiao said with a smile: "That's right, but this answer is also right and wrong, in fact, the purpose of your coming to school is not completely to learn knowledge, the fundamental thing is whether you can see further." If you look at our village, this school is the highest place. But if you look around at the school gate, even if the weather is clear, it is only a few miles as far as the eye can see, and when you meet the mountains, you are blocked from the mountains, and it is difficult to see the outside world. ”

Qin Xiao continued: "But the world is so big that it is beyond our imagination, even people who have traveled all over the world may not dare to say that they know everything in the world, and if you want to see the world clearly, you need a heart that can be close to the world." You have come here to cultivate a heart that is close to the world. ”

Saying that, Qin Xiao used chalk to write an idiom on the simple blackboard, called Xiang Wei Yimo, and then said: "Who of you knows what this idiom means? ”

Suddenly, a bold boy stood up and said, "It's just that two fish spit foam at each other to moisten each other, and care about each other." ”

Qin Xiao was very satisfied, so he asked the boy's name, he replied that his name was Ma Yunduo, Qin Xiao motioned for him to sit down, and then continued:

This classmate said very correctly, in fact, this idiom comes from "Zhuangzi. The Great Grandmaster", which has clouds' springs dry. The fish phase is on land, the phase is wet, and the foam is wet, so it is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes. Rather than Yu Yao. It's better to forget about it and turn it into its way'. It means that when the spring water is dried up, the fish will spit foam on each other to moisten each other, but it is better to live freely in the big rivers and rivers, Zhuangzi added. Whether it is a good person or a bad person, we don't have to praise or belittle them or label them, but just forget about them and follow the good of our ordinary life. ”

At this time, the whole classroom was silent, Qin Xiao knew that everyone was thinking, so he paused, and continued: "What I want to tell you is that we are fish in this spring that is about to dry up in the deep mountains, we learn from each other together, help each other, and live together, so that when the time comes, everyone will be in the rivers, lakes and seas, the sky is different, and the waves will be chopping waves." Although it is a good word, it is a little pessimistic, and it is not our ultimate goal, what we are preparing here is to go out of the mountains and see the world. So, that's what you're really here for. ”

Suddenly, a little girl stood up and asked timidly, "So why don't we go to school and go out directly?" ”

Qin Xiao knew that the students would have such a question, so he said: "This is a good question, I want to ask, have you ever seen beetles in the mountains and forests?" ”

The classmates replied in unison, "Yes", Qin Xiao then smiled and said: "Actually, the beetle has a very affectionate and vivid name in my hometown, called 'Blind Bump', that is, when he flies, he never looks at where he wants to fly, and finally when he is tired, where he stops, sometimes when people pass by the mountains and forests at night, he will unintentionally hit his body, have you ever had such an experience?" ”

The classmates replied without hesitation, "Of course they have", Qin Xiao continued to explain: "But you see, the chirping in the trees knows that even at night, they will not appear in this situation, that is because they can observe with their eyes, have tentacles to sense smells and wind, and have auditory organs that can hear people's footsteps and identify people's positions." So you say that walking through the woods, is it better to know or beetles? ”

The answer is self-evident, Qin Xiao then concluded: "So, if you don't go to school, going out is like a beetle flying into the forest, not knowing what the next step is, and not seeing the direction of the road ahead, and what you have to do at school is to learn these abilities, and then go outside, so that you will be handy." ”

In this class meeting, even Mr. Ma admired Qin Xiao's knowledge and teaching methods, and the students were no longer strange and afraid of him. And the children are also very sensible mountain families, and some even help their parents do farm work to take care of their younger siblings since they were young, so, as Teacher Ma said to Qin Xiao, after this class meeting, Teacher Qin was really accepted by the children.
