The next day, early in the morning, Zhou Peng took his little grandson to Changsha by train, and then transferred from Changsha Railway Station to Huanghua Airport. Yueyang doesn't have a direct flight to Chengdu, but it's really troublesome.

Zhou Peng was holding the luggage in one hand and the little grandson in the other, and he had to worry about losing the little guy all the time. It's a lot of work. For an old man who is nearly 70 years old, the hardships of this journey are a bit unbearable.

Remember what he said yesterday when chatting with the bearded veteran, "Don't read the old clothes of the old people, and the new people have new clothes." Zhou Peng only brought a few changes of clothes for Chen Chumo, and there was not much luggage, which also saved Zhou Peng a lot of effort and less tossing.

Last night, Chen Chumo slept with Zhou Peng, but Chen Chumo still had nightmares in the middle of the night. When I woke up from a nightmare, I was in a mess again, and I never fell asleep all night.

Chen Chumo has been to Changsha several times with his parents and grandfather, or perhaps the freshness of this road is obviously insufficient, Chen Chumo sat in the car from Yueyang to Changsha and fell asleep in a daze.

"Silently, wake up, it's time to get on the plane." Zhou Peng pushed his little grandson, who was lying on the chair in the waiting room at this time, and felt a little unbearable. But there is no way, you can't let the security guard interrogate you as a human trafficker. Not to mention the delay, but also the passengers who also boarded the plane.

"Let's get on the plane and go back to sleep." Actually, Zhou Peng didn't sleep well last night. After waking up from his grandson's nightmare in the middle of the night, he kept patting the little grandson on the back. So that the little grandson can feel that he is accompanied by someone, feel more warmth, and not be so sad and miserable.

...

Chengdu is really big, this is the first impression Chen Chumo got after coming to Sichuan Province for half a month.

In the past half a month, my aunts and grandparents, sometimes together, sometimes in turn, took myself through the streets and alleys of Chengdu. Not for anything else, just to let the young Chen Chumo get familiar with the new environment here.

During this time, Chen Chumo went to Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum to chant poems, went to Wuhou Temple to carry Longzhong pairs, went to the panda base to feed bamboo to baby pandas, and went to Jinli Kuanzhai Alley to eat dandan noodles and spicy rabbit dice, and even went to Dujiangyan.

When Xiao Chumo was playing, he was very interested in participating in it, and he would always smile with the words of his elders from time to time.

But Zhou Peng's family is still secretly worried about their grandson. Although Chen Chumo was talking and laughing with them for a while, they could see that this child was not really happy, but was perfunctory to their elders.

Today, Chen Chumo's family returned from Xiling Snow Mountain. As usual, Chen Chumo greeted his relatives and hid in his small room again. No wonder Chen Chumo, he is shy and afraid of life when he is young, and he is cold and slow by nature.

These days, my grandparents and aunts are very good to me. But Chen Chumo still doesn't think that they are his own family, at most they are very good relatives.

"Dad, let's send Chu Mo to school first, there are a lot of peers there, maybe it will be better." Liu Yuan, Chen Chumo's aunt who spoke.

Liu Yuan is in her early 30s, 1.6 meters tall, she is a teacher at Sichuan University, she looks average but has a very temperament. It is said that the combination of my aunt and uncle is very old-fashioned, I met on a blind date, and my grandfather's old colleague is the introducer. Maybe it's all because of the Zigong people, after the two met, they soon fell in love and got married.

"Hmm. It's not a way to go on like this, so it's the only way to try. Zhou Peng sighed, "Wife, you call Lao Zhang and ask his daughter-in-law to arrange a place in the primary school of the unit." The school is close to each other and the environment is good. It is convenient for our parents to communicate with the school over there, Chu Mo has just arrived in an unfamiliar environment, don't let him be wronged at school. ”

Zhou Peng and his wife are both retired employees of Chengfei, and they live in a unit in the Chengfei community. This year, my daughter-in-law is going to give birth and needs to be taken care of, so I moved in with my son and his wife some time ago.

What they arranged for Chen Chumo was Chengfei Primary School. The daughter-in-law of Lao Zhang, who led Lao Zhang, is the principal of Chengfei Primary School, and it is not a big problem to arrange a degree. The son's recipe is in the community near the Chengfei dormitory, and it is very convenient for Chen Chumo to go to and from school.

...

After two classes, Liu Yuan returned to the office. Drinking water, a phone call suddenly came, and the call was from Chengfei Primary School.

This morning, Liu Yuan just sent Chen Chumo to Chengfei Primary School to report, and the parents' communication method was filled in with Liu Yuan's own number. From the moment she learned that Chen Chumo was going to come to Chengdu to live, Liu Yuan told herself that she would treat the young Chen Chumo as her own child in the future. As long as it is about Chen Chumo, if you can solve it yourself, you will never let the old people in the family worry about it.

"Chen Chumo's parents? I am the homeroom teacher of Chen Chumo at Chengfei Primary School. Chen Chumo is gone. Chen Chumo's homeroom teacher Yuan Yuan just graduated from the normal school this year, this is the first class she has led, and she is a little panicked in the face of this unexpected situation.

When she took Chen Chumo to the school to report, Liu Yuan had already had a deep conversation with the head teacher Yuan Yuan about Chen Chumo's special situation. Unexpectedly, this conversation has not been half a day away from now, and something happened, and Liu Yuan was a little angry.

"What's going on? When did it disappear? Okay, I'll go over now, and ask your school to look around the school. It's only been half an hour since he disappeared, and such a young child can't go far. Liu Yuan took a leave of absence from the leader of the office and drove hurriedly to Chengfei Primary School.

After some complaints from the parents of the students, the young Yuan Yuan could no longer hold back the grievances in his heart, and cried loudly, and the eldest sister of his colleagues in the office hurriedly comforted him. The school was most afraid of this kind of student disappearance, and when the principal learned of this, he decided to change all the school's courses to self-study classes. Most of the teachers were sent out to look for people, and only a small number of teachers were left to maintain order in the school.

Half an hour later, Liu Yuan came to school. I got a general idea of the situation.

After Chen Chumo came to report, Teacher Yuan Yuan led him to his class. In order to allow Chen Chumo to integrate into the class quickly, Teacher Yuan Yuan asked Chen Chumo to introduce himself as usual.

Originally, because of Chen Chumo's speciality, Yuan Yuan only asked Chen Chumo to briefly introduce his name and where he came from, hoping that he would be able to become new friends with everyone in the future.

However, there was a naughty student, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, when Chen Chumo finished introducing himself, he asked loudly: "Eh, classmate, what do your parents do, why don't you introduce them?" Don't say you're a monkey jumping out of a rock, without parents..."

At that time, Teacher Yuan Yuan immediately stopped the classmate, and Chen Chumo did not show dissatisfaction. Instead, after being stunned for a moment, he replied softly: "My parents are soldiers and engaged in scientific research..."

"However, my parents are no longer here..."Chen Chumo felt that it was wrong to conceal it, and continued to whisper. After speaking, the classmates immediately sympathized with Chen Chumo, and did not ask other questions, Teacher Yuan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. After the introduction, Chen Chumo's position was arranged, and he officially attended the class with the students.

Teacher Yuan Yuan took two math classes, Chen Chumo behaved normally in class, and his classmates did not harass him, and his emotions were very stable.

Thought it could be over. However, in the third Chinese class, the teacher called names, but found that Chen Chumo was missing. The Chinese teacher and Yuan Yuan searched the entire campus but could not find it, so they had to report to the school and parents.

Yes, it's not the teacher's fault, it's not the classmate's fault, it's a misunderstanding. If you want to blame it, you can blame God for not having long eyes, so that such a young child can bear so much. When adults can't bear the pressure, they have to think about escaping, let alone a child under the age of 10?

Now is not the time to find out who is right and who is wrong, it is important to find the child first. Liu Yuan understood the situation, drove the car, and drove home. She didn't want to tell the old people in the family about the situation, and it would be difficult to deal with any more accidents. My husband Zhou Xia flew to Russia on a business trip on behalf of Cheng, and it will take more than half a month to come back. Liu Yuan now has no choice but to bite the bullet and look for it herself, just begging the child to go home now.

...

In the evening, Zhou Peng's family sat at the dinner table. The dishes are very rich, there are fish and meat, there are soups and seafood, and seven or eight dishes are placed on a table. The family was silent, eating quietly, and Chen Chumo was also there.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Chumo came back. No one asked where Chen Chumo had gone, and how he had come back from an unfamiliar place.

"Grandpa, I don't want to go to school anymore." Chen Chumo, who pulled half a bowl of rice, said.

"If you don't want to go up, we won't go up, it's no big deal. We are so smart silently, we can catch up in a few years. While cooking, Zhou Peng and his wife were also shocked when they heard their daughter-in-law talk about Chen Chumo's disappearance.

"That is, we Chu Mo, even if we don't go to school, we can still be productive. I don't want to go to the school. Grandma chimed in.

After a moment of silence, Chen Chumo continued: "Grandparents and grandmothers, I went to the airport today..."

Zhou Peng, his wife and daughter-in-law Liu Yuan were all shocked when they heard this, and blamed themselves for not doing well enough as elders, and wronged Xiao Chumo.

"I want to go back to Yueyang, there was an old Taoist in Lu Xianguan who said that he wanted to take me as an apprentice. I love it there and want to go back there. Chen Chumo cried as he spoke.

I'm so sour these days, I can't hold it back. My grandmother and aunt were on the side, and their eyes were red.

After Chen Chumo came to Chengdu, he went to many places, went to schools, got to know many places, ate a lot of delicious food, and became familiar with a lot of people. But I've always been uncomfortable, I always feel that this place doesn't belong to me, nothing is nostalgic for me, and I don't have the feeling of home before.

All the hesitation and confusion make you don't know where to go.

After thinking about it for a long time, the only thing that could make him feel the warmth and nostalgia of the world was Lu Xianguan, and he felt that he always had an indescribable fate with Taoism.

Zhou Peng touched Chen Chumo's head and sighed that the world is so big, but it can't accommodate such a small person. After thinking for a long time, he said softly: "Chu Mo, are you sure that old Taoist master wants to accept you as an apprentice, is he still in that Taoist temple?" ”

With this question, Chen Chumo's previous firmness slowly loosened. Two years ago, Lu Xianguan really had an old Taoist priest who said that he would accept him as an apprentice. The Taoist chief there often changes, and I haven't seen the old Taoist for a long time. I don't know if the old Taoist is still alive, this is really a problem.

Zhou Peng made up his mind that if his grandson really wanted to go back to Yueyang to worship in Taoism, then he would go over to take care of him, and he couldn't let his grandson suffer here, just leave his wife here to take care of his granddaughter.

When I was a child, I asked my grandfather about the old Taoist, and my grandfather said that the old Taoist was dead. Chen Chumo replied a little frustratedly: "Grandpa said that the old Taoist priest was not there last year. ”

He's dead? It can't be the old Taoist priest who gave Chu Mo his life, right? The father-in-law, Old Man Chen, mentioned this to himself.

Zhou Peng was a little surprised in his heart, and the Taoist priest who had chatted with him before also said that he would accept Chu Mo as a disciple. I believed a little more about the secret things that Lao Chen told him about the Chen family.

"Chu Mo, do you really like Taoism that much?" Zhou Peng asked.

After getting Chen Chumo's nod of affirmation, Zhou Peng continued: "Why don't you go to Qingcheng Mountain tomorrow, there is a Taoist chief there that we know." That's right, it's the Taoist who chatted with me in the old house the night before I returned to Chengdu. Let's take a look, the Taoist temple there is much bigger than the Lu Xian Temple. If you like, you can stay there. It's also close to Chengdu, and we can still visit you from time to time. ”

Huabeard is not the Taoist of Lu Xianguan, but is resident in Qingcheng Mountain. The reason why he appeared in Lu Xianguan was because he happened to pass by and went in to take a look at the old acquaintances there.
