Village Department.

The old village chief took out a bag of dry tobacco, knocked the pipe on the ground a few times, and then lit it, and slowly told the origin of the village.

It turns out that a few years ago, everyone here relied on the mountains and water to eat water, and the people in the village rarely went out to work. Just two years ago, I heard that the mine owner came here to recruit people, and the treatment was very amazing, and almost every family with labor went there.

Teng Ying said: "I heard about it, but it's been 2 years since I left, and I won't go home for two years from any mine." ”

The village chief's face was a little heavy, "Yes, it's not just Tingting's family, all the people who left here haven't come back." ”

Teng Ying was taken aback, "What?" ”

The old village chief took a puff of his cigarette, "I heard that the mine collapsed shortly after it opened. ”

Hearing this, Teng Ying felt a chill behind her back and said, "Then why is there no news at all?" That's a big deal. ”

The village chief took a hard puff of his cigarette and said with a solemn face: "What's the use of a big matter, it's a poor and remote place here, what news can be spread?" Moreover, the people who open the mines are very powerful, and they can get it with a few dollars, alas, pity the old and young in our village. ”

"So, is it compensated?"

"Reparations? Hmph, those people's hearts are dark, our people have gone to the mine to look for it a few times, and they flatly denied it, saying that the mine was not completed, and everyone went into the city. If it doesn't work, it will be hard, several villagers in the village have been injured, they are afraid that we will find it, so they specially arranged a few ruffians to guard the village all the year round, and after a long time, these old bones will not go, and they can't afford to toss. ”

Hearing this, a wave of helplessness came to her, the village's problems could be solved by herself, but now, there was nothing she could do.

The village chief sighed and changed the subject: "Girl, how long are you going to stay?" ”

"I didn't think about it."

"Look at you're a college student."

"Yes, yes."

The village chief thought for a while, and said carefully: "That's the case, we only have one school in the county here, and the children have to go over the mountains and mountains if they want to go to school, and it takes 2-3 hours to go back and forth every day, not to mention anything else, you can walk through that rope, it's too dangerous." ”

After that, he said: "I mean, can you give the children a make-up lesson or something, the children have grown up, only learning is the way out, as the village head, I can't let the children follow in the footsteps of their parents." ”

This is actually what Teng Ying thinks, these days, she also has deep feelings about this situation, not to mention that it is too dangerous.

Teng Ying said without hesitation: "Okay!" ”

I heard that the village chief is happy, then thank you The location is set in the village department.

Following.

The sun was shining, and the village was full of children, sitting straight at the table, waiting for the new teacher. But Teng Ying, the teacher, did not show up for a long time, and the children looked at the door with big eyes.

At 11 o'clock, Teng Ying had not yet appeared.

The village chief sighed, yes, how can a college student take root in the countryside and preach and receive employment from here without pay, the thinking of people in the city is different, "Let's all go home." ”

But the children are still unmoved, they are still waiting, or they are looking for a miracle to appear.

At half past eleven, seeing that the child still hadn't moved, the village chief urged: "Go back, go back." ”

"Isn't the teacher coming?" One child asked.

"Another day." After that, he drove the children out, "Let's go, let's go home and eat." ”

The children left their seats disappointed.

At this time, Teng Ying ran in panting, followed by Tingting, Teng Ying was carrying a big bag, and Tingting behind her was carrying a small bag, "I'm sorry, it's late." ”

The village chief was a little surprised and said, "You didn't leave?" ”

Teng Ying opened the schoolbag and it was full of books and stationery, "I went to the county seat to buy something, this road is too difficult to walk." After that, Tingting also spilled the contents of the small bag, which were also stationery and books.

The children were all gathered around and were pleasantly surprised.

The village chief looked at the children's excited appearance, and his heart also fell, "What are you doing, come one by one." ”

Then he said to Teng Ying: "Thank you so much, you are the great benefactor of our village." ”

"It's nothing, it should be, wait for it, children, take your own things, let's go to class, let's go to English in this class."

In the class, the children listened very carefully, everyone's eyes showed a strong desire for knowledge, no one was distracted, in the blink of an eye a day passed, the children left the class unsatisfied, and the most they asked when they left was, "Teacher, are you still coming tomorrow?" "They were afraid that Teng Ying would leave.

Teng Ying smiled and said, "Yes, I've been there." ”

When the children left, Teng Ying sat on the cement steps of the village, Tingting leaned on Teng Ying's lap, and the village chief stopped talking and said, "Thank you, girl, it is the children's dream to have these new stationery boxes and books and to go to school nearby." ”

"Nothing, I'll always be here."

"You are the great benefactor of our village,"

"You're serious."

It seems that Teng Ying said it simply, but at this time, the pain in Teng Ying's heart is incomprehensible to ordinary people, this scar is impossible to heal, every day she is full of sunshine to teach the children, but in the dead of night, the extremely torturous pain makes her unable to survive and die.

She didn't know when the police would come and Gu Feng would kill her, but she was more inclined to the latter, because death was the best relief.

Time flies quickly, a month has passed in a blink of an eye, because the people in the village are old, Teng Ying will help the villagers do some work within his ability when he is not in class, and occasionally go to the ground, Teng Ying's reputation is getting better and better, and Teng Ying has also integrated into the life of the villagers. At this time, the village had already regarded Teng Ying as its own person.

But Teng Ying knew that this brief calm would be broken sooner or later.
