Torrential rain, huge waves, shipwrecks, and screams of despair.

It's been days, and the nightmare still haunts me.

Even if I am used to it, I can't change it when I'm in a dream, I can't wake up from it, and it's just a small punishment for my sins.

"Teacher, teacher."

Someone called my name and woke me up from a nightmare.

I fell asleep on my stomach on the table, completely forgetting what I had been doing, and even when I sat down with my head lifted from the table, I still felt groggy and wanted to go back to sleep.

"Really, if you want to sleep, teacher, go to bed, it's easy to catch a cold, especially if you're not in good health, teacher."

There was a figure swaying around me, counting me.

Because I knew who it was as soon as I heard it, I didn't look over there, rubbed my face, and casually responded, "Hmm."

As my vision became clearer, I saw myself sitting in my usual position in the research room, with a design drawing on the table that had not yet been completed, and one of the strokes had been drawn out of the drawing paper, apparently waking up from a sudden fall asleep.

I forgot if I was drawing the design, was this really my drawing?

Not at all impressed......

The man said to me again, "Oh...... Teacher, did you really wake up with the look of Alzheimer's on your face? ”

"Of course wake up!"

Whether it's really awake or fake awake, subconsciously respond first and then speak.

"I always feel that you are like a child, teacher, you have to sleep a lot a day."

"Sleep is the happiest thing."

"Oh, is it the kind of thing that is tired of one thing, so it feels more and more boring to do it, and it is easy to get sleepy?"

"Well, it's possible."

I stretched, and suddenly felt a little heavy in my clothes, and touched my stomach with my hand, and sure enough, there was something in it.

"Where's Xiaobai?"

The dirt boy who walked over and sorted out the messy table asked as he cleaned up his things as he walked over to me.

I patted my bulging belly lightly and said to him, "I don't know when it got into my clothes." ”

The earth boy said with a strange expression: "I'm really envious, the weather is so cold, how nice it is to have such a warm place to hide in." ”

I also think that thing is on the belly, very warm.

I got up from my chair, moved my sluggish body, walked to the window, pushed it open and looked out, it was already dark.

He turned back to the earth boy and said, "It's getting dark, you go back quickly, otherwise your father will discipline you again." ”

The boy cleaned up my desk and nodded reluctantly.

"Sorry, teacher, my father won't allow me to come over tonight on Chinese New Year's Eve."

"Oh, is it Chinese New Year's Eve?"

I was a little surprised, how time passed so quickly, I didn't even know that today was Chinese New Year's Eve.

The boy said to me a little depressedly, "Haven't you told the teacher a few times recently?" Teacher, are you so focused on your research that you didn't remember what I said? ”

I scratched my head: "Maybe." ”

So quickly, a year is about to pass, and so many things have happened in this year that have changed my life.

However, at least after returning from Shonan, I insisted on living for half a year.

The earth boy muttered in a low voice: "There is no one else in the Julong Pavilion tonight, there is only one teacher left, and I can't come over to accompany you......"

It seems that he is really uneasy to "leave behind" me alone.

I was very open to this, walked over and patted him on the head, and comforted: "It's okay, isn't it just Chinese New Year's Eve?" A person experiences about sixty Chinese New Year's Eves in his life, so many times, he will soon get tired of it. We can meet again tomorrow, what's there to be unhappy about? ”

These words, naturally, could not let him go.

He blushed and pushed away my hand that was patting his head, walked to the small table next to him, held the big clay pot on the table and said to me, "I have prepared your meal tonight, teacher, it is very rich." ”

What a student who thinks about me very much, I am grateful to him, and at the same time a little embarrassed.

"So much, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it tomorrow."

The earth boy pouted and said, "Don't stay until tomorrow, tomorrow I will bring the New Year's dinner to the teacher, these will be eaten tonight!" ”

"I can't do this kind of thing."

Especially when the amount of food is getting smaller and smaller, it is even more impossible to eat so much.

The boy glared at me with a wry face, then smiled jokingly, put the pot back down, and bowed deeply to me.

He said to me apologetically, "Well, teacher...... I'll go back first. ”

I waved my hand at him, "I'll see you next year." ”

The earth boy smiled and waved his hand at me, "See you next year." ”

He then turned and left the research room, disappearing through the door.

I stood in front of the window and sighed, looking at the snow outside in a daze, Xiaobai also seemed to have finally slept enough, poked his head out of my neckline, and accompanied me to look at the snow-covered Qingxuan Taoist Sect.

Chinese New Year's Eve, and when it is approaching dusk, it doesn't matter if I say it, but how can I not feel uncomfortable.

At this time in previous years, my junior brother and I slaughtered chickens and geese, while my junior sister helped with chores, such as lighting a fire, picking some vegetables and picking some flowers. She is not a diligent girl, she always avoids the dirty and troublesome work, and picks the most relaxed, and is ashamed to be a few years older than the younger brother.

And the words of the elder brother...... It's also lazy, go down the mountain and pay to buy a bunch of New Year's goods and come back, just burn a firecracker at most.

It's just that on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, Brother and I are not here, I'm afraid it will be a little deserted.

However, as long as the master recruits a few more disciples back, Water Mirror Peak will become popular again.

It was completely dark, and I was a little hungry, so I simply started eating this Chinese New Year's Eve meal in advance.

Sitting back at the empty table, he opened the clay pot that the boy had brought, and the meal inside was hearty. Filled a plate for Xiaobai, and then started eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with him. I choked up a little while eating.

Everyone will experience a winter that can only be faced alone, and if you can't learn to keep warm, you can only freeze to death silently.

After eating a few briefly, I put on my coat and continued my research on the spirit.

Only a single shot can now be made, making it cumbersome to reload. I don't have that technology yet, and I'm afraid I won't be able to develop it before I reach the end of my life, so while I still have the strength to do so, I'm going to research the double-barreled spirit gun first.

If it is sent in a row, it will be handed over to the soil boy, or a successor.

Gradually, I began to feel sleepy again.

I don't know when I fell asleep on the table again.

Until I woke up when I heard something, I found that the oil lamp had burned out, and there was an explosion outside.

At first, I thought it was an air raid on the Qingxuan Dao Sect, but then when I looked out the window at the colorful light, I realized that it was a group of people who were setting off fireworks.

Xiaobai was lying on the table and slept with me, and now he has woken up, and he raised his head and looked out the window.

I picked it up, walked to the window and sat down, looking at the dazzling fireworks in the sky.

The New Year has arrived, and I'm still alive.
