After the school resumed normal teaching, Qin Xiao set out to go back to the mountain again to find the old man, he first went to the small shop in the village to buy a few bags of salt and a bottle of wine, and then set off.

Familiar with the road, he soon arrived at the cave, but the old man was not there, so Qin Xiao lit the bonfire alone and waited for the old man to come back with the prey. Sure enough, this time the old man came back and caught a pheasant in a trap he had set up, and caught a few crabs in a mountain stream.

Qin Xiaosui felt that this day was very leisurely and happy, but he also knew that in winter, even animals would starve, and he didn't know how the old man spent it, so it was estimated that he could eat almost everything he could eat at that time.

But the old man didn't know what Qin Xiao was thinking, and when he saw him coming, he lit a fire by himself, and he was very satisfied, so he went to get the pheasant to the stream to bleed and remove his hair, and brought it back after cleaning it.

The fire was also completely lit, so the two of them were also busy cooking crabs and roasting chickens, and they didn't have time to speak.

At this time, although the old man was still not articulate, he could say a few words, which made the communication between the two more convenient. Qin Xiao also tore the salt and sprinkled it evenly on the chicken, and the old man was just about to put salt in the pot where the crabs were boiled, but Qin Xiao stopped him all of a sudden and said:

"Crabs are boiled in water, and if you put salt, they lose their delicious taste."

The old man stopped.

The delicacy of the delicacies already showed that it was about to be cooked, so Qin Xiao took out the bottle of wine he bought, opened the cap, and did not have any utensils, but drank it one by one. While tearing chicken, drinking wine, and eating crabs, Qin Xiao felt very happy, so he said:

"Hundreds of boats full of wine, sweet at four o'clock, holding a wine glass in the right hand, holding a crab claw in the left hand, and patting the floating wine boat, it is enough for a lifetime."

The old man shook his head to indicate that he did not understand. Qin Xiao laughed and said, "It's just that drinking wine and eating crabs means that it's very comfortable, I'm talking about the thread-bound book." ”

The old man understood this time and nodded his head. Qin Xiao also turned to the topic and said, "Old man, although I don't know what kind of place you are, I also know that you are really hard in this place. Either you come down with me, and you don't have to get along with anyone, but go to the village and live there, where you and I can be companions, and no one will bother you. ”

The old man listened to Qin Xiao's words, and also said, "I'...... Thought, go down the mountain, follow you. ”

Qin Xiao couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he didn't delay after eating, and brought those bits and pieces. He dragged the old man down the mountain, but the old man stammered:

"Wait."

Qin Xiao didn't know why, thinking that the old man would regret it, so he followed the old man, only to see the old man dismantle the traps in the entire forest one by one, and then destroy them, and bring the two rusty Zhongzheng rifles, steel helmets and military uniforms, and then follow Qin Xiao down the mountain. Before leaving, the old man did not forget to look back at the cave.

When he came down the mountain, Qin Xiao immediately led the old man to the village branch. Liu Zhishu was also taken aback when he saw the old man, feeling that this was not a soldier at all, but a savage. But he was not allowed to think about it. Immediately, according to the discussion with the town police station, he immediately arranged a place for the old man to live only a few dozen steps away from Qin Xiao, and equipped him with food and clothing utensils, Qin Xiao also gave him a lot of his own clothes, and after the old man put them on, Qin Xiao felt very stylish.

Qin Xiao also handed over the two rifles and military uniforms to the town. After a day, the town sent someone to understand the verification situation, although the old man was speechless, but everything that could be explained was explained, and the staff of the police station made a record, and felt that there was nothing to do, so they told Qin Xiaodao:

"The old man will arrange this for the time being, we have applied for relief for him according to the lonely old man, as for when he can take care of himself or is dissatisfied in the future, you can tell us again, and we will listen to his opinion."

But the old man himself also said that he had no opinion, and Qin Xiao also inquired about many details of the old man and reported them to the comrades at the police station one by one.

It turned out that the old man's name was Xie Yunhai, a native of Shanxi, but the family member he said turned out that there was no such person in the local police station, maybe he died in the war at that time, or maybe he followed the G Army to Taiwan that year. The old man was a soldier of the G Army, who was scattered due to his defeat in the battle, and hid in the mountains himself. Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xie Yunhai was afraid of being caught, so he ran to the hinterland of the mountains. However, at that time, the old man himself had a companion, but he didn't know what his name was, he was seven or eight years older than himself, in fact, the two were in a regiment, but not a company, so they didn't know each other at all, but after the team was broken up, the two met in the mountains to survive together. However, listening to the old man's explanation, that person is very capable, the old man can survive to this day, it was the G Army soldier who taught him, and later because there was really no salt, the man went to the village to steal salt, but he never returned, Xie Yunhai estimated at the time that the person had been arrested, the old man was worried, but he was helpless, and he did not dare to go down the mountain again, and since then he has lived a savage-like life on the mountain alone.

Later, after more than ten years, I finally went down the mountain again, and found that the villagers regarded him as a ghost, and ran away when they saw him. I was so happy that I went to the village at night to steal food, and the key was salt, which caused the "ghost panic" in this area.

Because Xie Yunhai couldn't communicate with outsiders, he temporarily lost the ability to speak, even if he met people, he couldn't show that he was a human or not a ghost, and he didn't know anything about the outside world, and he didn't know whose world was now, so he had been living a savage-like life. It wasn't until Qin Xiao arrived here and firmly believed that there were no ghosts in the world that he discovered the truth of the matter.

As for the old man's companion who went out to steal salt in his early years and did not return, there are no reports from the official records that the local government has caught a spy of the G Army, which is also a missing case that cannot be understood. However, at that time, it was not uncommon for wild wolves and wild dogs to be besieged in the deep mountains, and it was not uncommon to find bones after eating, and everyone did not pay much attention to it.

And the villagers also came to see this old man who had lived in the mountains for nearly half a century, although he was very jealous of him before, but now that he knows the details, he is no longer afraid, and many of the missing people who were killed by ghosts in the past also know that it was not his doing.

Since then, Qin Xiao has had another general companion, every day after class, nothing to do in the afternoon, that is, to eat with the old man, and to add the old horse, but the old horse has to go home to eat most of the time, so in the afternoon, it is usually the old man Xie Yunhai and Qin Xiao.

The old man also has a lot of experience in the wilderness, Qin Xiao likes to listen to it very much, although Qin Xiao has been a soldier, and he has also received wilderness survival training, but it is not the same as the old man's experience, his own wilderness survival training is just to persist in a few weeks or months, if it is decades, there will be a big problem.

The first thing is the problem of loneliness, long-term loneliness, human brain wave disorders, and mental illness, which Qin Xiao knows. The old man Xie Yunhai told Qin Xiao that he raised the animals he caught, and fought with them on weekdays, although wild animals are not easy to raise, but confrontation between humans and animals is also a pastime.

But Qin Xiao asked the old man, "Then why didn't I see any rabbits or birds you raised when I went?" ”

The old man stammered and told him that at that time he often went down the mountain to steal people's salt to eat, and he had fun fighting with people, so he was not allowed to need animals; Moreover, the animals that I raise do not last a year, because in winter, there is a lack of everything, and I have to eat them; In addition, many wild animals can't survive at all, and they will die after confronting you for a week.

Although Qin Xiao generally understood, he still felt unheard of when he listened to it. And Qin Xiao also let the old man see many things he had never seen before, from mobile phones to sneakers to laptops. The old man looked at it and felt that these things were simply magic weapons, which made the old man speechless, although the old man's mouth was not good, and now he opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak.

In addition, Qin Xiao's health room, the county also sent people to set up, first of all, medicines and medical supplies. Qin Xiao also applied for traditional Chinese medicine, but this is a big trouble, and it will not be set up at all for a while, so Qin Xiao is currently just managing this Western medicine clinic, and as for the Chinese medicine hall, he estimates that it is no play, because a mountain village still needs traditional Chinese medicine, after all, there is a bit of mismatch.

Of course, Qin Xiao believes that his main job is teaching, because this teaching was applied for by his uncle Lu Sheng, because only this position does not require a teaching qualification certificate, and he does not have it in the first place. And Lu Sheng originally just said it, but he didn't expect Qin Xiao to choose this path, so that Qin Ping had a big quarrel with her husband later.

And the students are also gradually familiar with Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao is in charge of the senior class, and Lao Ma is in charge of the lower class. Qin Xiao's main method is to let students know what it is, and why it is true.

For example, when he was explaining biology, he personally went to the field to explain it with samples, and when he explained mathematics, he told his students which mathematician discovered this law and under what circumstances, because he felt that it was good to pay attention to the results and could be used at any time, but it would also make people lose the spark of thought that came to the results.

And more importantly, Qin Xiao also let his students, including those led by Teacher Ma, resume physical education and music classes. But it's just basic physical exercise and vocal theory practice. But this is far from enough in Qin Xiao's opinion, he needs sports equipment and music equipment, but these can't start, so he thought of Luo Chuan and Meng Fan, and he doesn't know what happened to their two buddies during this time. Qin Xiao felt that they should be allowed to help, Luo Chuan contributed money, Meng Fan contributed, by the way, let them come to play, everyone gathered to chat, presumably they would also be happy.

But Qin Xiao's mobile phone could only show Xie Yunhai in this mountain village, and there was no signal to send out, so he had to write to Luo Chuan. As soon as the letter was sent, all he had left was to wait, and Qin Xiao suddenly felt that this was also the first time he had used the traditional postal service in the 21st century.
