Chapter Twenty-Six: The Long Snake

"This...."Ouyang Yingying was also a little speechless, "But I'm his teacher after all?"

"Really?" Lu Mingming's eyes were full of banter, staring at Ouyang Yingying, and Ouyang Yingying felt weak for a while, "But look at his eyes........"

"No..... There is nothing to do!" Ouyang Yingying suddenly became nervous, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her teacher, her face was as red as a ripe big apple, crystal clear, and people couldn't help but want to kiss it.

"Oh?" Obviously, Lu Mingming didn't intend to believe her words, but she also changed her once aggressive style and let her go, "It's your own business, you can do it yourself." But the teacher has your back!" she gave her a little encouragement at the end.

Ouyang Yingying buried her head deeper, but there was a hint of joy in her heart that she hadn't even noticed herself, this kind of little daughter-like posture was something that Lu Feng'er had never seen. Lu Mingming looked at her and smiled slightly, and couldn't help but secretly sigh in her heart, 'It's good to be young!'

——————————

The train is speeding, and although the city is slowly moving away, it is a different scenery when you look closer.

The small trees planted on the side of the road whizzed by, and people didn't have time to wave goodbye and disappeared.

After a while, the car entered the tunnel, and it was pitch black in front of me, as if I had traveled to another world. The tunnel was extraordinarily long, and it took nearly twenty minutes to travel even at the speed of the train.

Lu Mingming and Ouyang Yingying knew that the tunnel was called the Long Snake Tunnel, and it was a tunnel under the main mountain of the Long Snake Mountain Range. Legend has it that the mountain was incarnated by the corpse of a long serpent, but this is just a myth and legend, and of course they won't believe it - but that was before, after the bizarre events of the Far North, who can say for sure?

It is precisely because this mountain range straddles between Zhongzhou and Shuguang City that the former Shuguang City has inconvenient transportation and economic development. When Lu Mingming ran away from home more than 20 years ago, it took nearly a day to take the train to Zhongzhou City, and it took a big circle, but now it only takes three hours to arrive.

This railway was built by Zhao Donglai against the public opinion, and he was not the mayor at that time. It is because of this railway that the economy of Shuguang City has developed rapidly, and he has made great contributions and Principal Zhang operates for him, so that he naturally sits in the position of mayor.

I would like to thank him for that. Lu Mingming thought to herself.

With the whining of the train, there was a burst of black and white outside the window, and there was another one not far out of the tunnel, endlessly, which showed that the difficulty of the construction was far beyond imagination.

But none of the tunnels that came after that were as long. After about two hours of travel, the train exits the last tunnel, and the sunset shines through the window, and the golden lake is particularly beautiful, as if it is about to treat the tired passengers, and people can't help but indulge in the beautiful scenery outside the window.

The source of this lake is in the Long Snake Mountains, but no one can say exactly where it is. Because many places in the Long Snake Mountain Range are surrounded by miasma all year round, it is dangerous and abnormal. Especially deep in the mountains, no one knows what is inside.

But people's curiosity is always very strong, and there was a time when there were hundreds of people who wanted to explore more under the banner of man's victory, but they didn't come back. Therefore, since then, although some people have entered the exploration in twos and threes, they have either only reached the places that have been discovered by humans before, or they have directly lost contact, as if the world has evaporated, and there is almost no progress.

Before you know it, the train slows down, and after passing this lake, the city of Zhongzhou is almost there.

The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk. That's right, when you see this lake, it takes less than an hour to get to the Zhongzhou railway station, and the sky turns dark.

got out of the car, because Lu Mingming and Ouyang Yingying bought business seats, and the limousine for the pick-up and drop-off was already waiting on the side of the road.

"Haicheng View Garden. Lu Mingming said with ease.

"Yes, ma'am!" the driver, wearing a pair of white gloves, gently opened the door. After Lu Mingming and Ouyang Yingying both sat in, they carefully closed the door for them.

Soon.

"It's here, ma'am, please get out of the car!" the driver parked the car and opened the door for them, and the service was very considerate.

"Okay, thanks. She politely responded as she got out of the car and packed her things.

Walking to the door, Lu Mingming took out the card and swiped it at the door.

With a 'drop', the large closed bronze door opened. The security guard at the door bowed slightly to her and said respectfully, "Teacher Lu, are you back?"

"Well, but I'm going out tomorrow again. By the way, my brother's family may have to move to me in a few days, and then you can help talk to the property and get them a card. Lu Mingming explained.

"Okay, what's your brother's name?" the security guard asked.

"Lu Yi, resolute Yi. Lu Mingming said one by one, "His daughter-in-law's name is Zhang Jing, the bow is long, and she is quiet." There is also a daughter named Lu Huang'er, about fifteen or sixteen years old, a very cute little girl. Her face was full of pride, "That girl was specially recruited by Zhongzhou No. 1 Middle School." ”

"It's amazing, Mr. Lu's family is really a good seedling of studying, which makes people envious!"

"Haha, thanks for the compliment. Hearing this, Lu Mingming smiled, but thought to himself, 'If Lu Yi and Lu Feng'er hear this, they will be ashamed, right?'

"You're welcome, you go slowly!" Seeing that Lu Mingming was leaving, the security guard bowed to her slightly.

When she got home, Lu Mingming sat on the sofa and let out a long breath, "Oops, I've been tired to death these days!"

"Teacher, let me give you a massage. Seeing this, Ouyang Yingying hurriedly said.

"Forget it, you stubborn girl, dare to refuse the teacher's proposal, ignore you today. After Lu Mingming returned home, she suddenly remembered this stubble again, and wanted to give her a little color to see, so she glanced at her, but that look was not very lethal. Seeing the teacher's trickery, Ouyang Yingying couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh secretly.

"What are you laughing at, it's okay to rest early, and it's the last day for you to relax!" Looking at her appearance, she couldn't get angry if she wanted to. When she thought that this girl was going to go to that bitter cold place with him, she was also distressed in her heart.

"Yes, yes!" she replied playfully.

"Hmph, this girl!" Watching her walk to her own room, Lu Mingming shook her head and thought to herself, "No wonder Lu Feng'er was fascinated. Ay...... Let's hope they get results. For some reason, Lu Mingming not only did not reject this matter, but had a little hope in her heart, "Anyway, they are not much older." ’

"By the way, where did this kid run?" Thinking of this, Lu Mingming really felt at a loss, and it was the first time she felt so powerless.

When everything was quiet, she dialed a call.

"Hey, Xiao Ming'er, are you back?" the voice on the other end of the phone looked pleasantly surprised.

"I'll leave tomorrow. She also smiled in response, and when she called her best friend, her wind-up strings relaxed a little.

"Eh, it's so early, don't you wait, we sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, huh. The other party was coquettish at her.

"Don't disgust me!" she scolded, "yes, there's something I want to ask you for." ”

"Say!" the other party just said one word, looking very domineering.

"You help me keep an eye on it, if the mayor of Dawn City asks my brother to trouble you. Lu Mingming said.

"You still have a younger brother?" Obviously, the other party was surprised.

"I'll talk about this when I get back, I'm a little tired today. And also.... My niece was specially recruited to Zhongzhou No. 1 Middle School. Lu Mingming held her forehead with her hand.

"Is it called Lu Huang'er?" the person on the other end of the phone guessed at once.

"Hmm, how do you know?" Lu Mingming was surprised.

"Hmph, Miss Kwamon is smart and Miss Ben will tell you!" the voice on the other end of the phone looked very proud.

"Okay, good, you're smart, you're smart!" Lu Mingming was helpless.

"I looked at the list today, and found that there was only one specially recruited from Shuguang City, called Lu Huang'er, I also felt that I might be related to you in the same race, but I didn't expect it to be your niece. What's the matter? Do you want her to come to my subordinate and let me destroy the flowers with my hot hands?" Lu Mingming could imagine her treacherous expression without looking, but she knew very well - she was the most responsible and best teacher in Zhongzhou No. 1.

"It's worthy of being my best friend, and I'm planning to do so. Lu Mingming stroked her palms and smiled.

"OK! I don't care if that girl hates you then!" The other party was very excited and deliberately made a sound of licking his lips.

"Okay, that's all for today, I'm very tired today, I want to rest first. Lu Mingming couldn't help yawning because she felt a sleepiness sweeping over her heart, so she said.

"Okay, bye-bye, good night!" Hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone understood this very well, and did not care, and said goodbye to her.

"Well, bye-bye, good night!" Lu Mingming said and hung up the phone.

Shrines, pools, courtyards, wood.

Mu Xu, who had just finished cultivating, was quietly holding tea, sitting on the platform in front of the house and enjoying the afternoon. Suddenly, as if she had noticed something, she looked back at the backyard in surprise.

"Huh?"
