Thirty-one. Children cannot be taught

The old woman was dressed in a floral cotton jacket and walked tremblingly in front of the dirt road.

Lu Li behind him frowned deeply.

He had followed the old woman out of a hundred meters, but found that the distance between them had not been shortened in the slightest.

This is clearly not true.

Especially the yin aura that permeates her body.

Sand – Sand –

The sea of trees rippled in circles, and the corners of Lu Li's clothes fluttered gently, and the wind rose.

The sky was even more gloomy, and the clouds behind the mountain were cloudy, rain clouds.

If you are an ordinary person, you may hesitate to stop, whether it is walking in the forest on a rainy day or following a strange old lady, it is not a good choice.

However, Lu Li is an outlier, and he is still following quickly.

The beautiful mountains are closer than just closer, and you can see the lush vegetation. In contrast, the surrounding area is gradually becoming barren, and forests stretching to green hills replace farmland as far as the eye can see.

Only a narrow, well-trodden dirt road remained, stretching through the forest.

She seemed to lure Lu Li to a remote place.

Lu Li wanted to know what this ghost was doing, and at this moment, one of the old woman's shoes fell off her foot.

She didn't seem to notice, limping forward.

A large cloud overcast overhead, and it was as dark as if evening was approaching.

Lu Li, who was always more than ten meters away from her, walked to the shoes and looked down.

It was an embroidered shoe the size of a palm, so small that it seemed to be suitable only for children, or another kind of pre-liberation common - foot wrapping.

"Can you help me pick up my shoes, young man? I'm old, I can't bend over. ”

An old voice suddenly sounded in front of him.

Lu Li raised his eyes, and the old woman more than ten meters away turned around and said to herself.

"Yes."

Lu Li responded, bent down and twisted up the embroidered shoes.

"Young man, can you help me get my shoes? I can't walk without shoes. ”

The old woman said again.

"Yes."

Lu Li walked towards the old woman.

The old woman stood there quietly, swaying in the wind.

When he was close to the old woman four or five meters away, Lu Li stopped and gently threw away the embroidered shoes.

Smack-

The embroidered shoe fell in front of the old woman, and she lifted the shocking foot wrap and burrowed into the embroidered shoe.

Lu Li took advantage of this to observe the old woman.

The old woman's face was expressionless, her wrinkled cheeks were lifeless, and she was dead from beginning to end.

It's like moving with a human skin on it.

Lu Li's communication with the old woman ended after the latter put on embroidered shoes. She still walked ahead with a trembling speed that Lu Li couldn't catch up.

Seeing this, Lu Li began to slow down and try to distance himself.

It didn't happen that he slowed down, and the old woman also slowed down, and the distance between him and the old woman was gradually widening.

More than two hundred meters later, the embroidered shoe fell from his foot again, and the distance between Lu Li and the old woman was nearly thirty meters.

Not far away, the old woman stopped. She turned faintly and stood on the edge of a mass grave, her arm slightly raised, beckoning to Lu Li like a bone.

"Boy, can you help me pick up my shoes?"

Lu Li's gaze flickered on the old woman, and fell on the crooked wooden plaque and tomb bag behind her.

Each wooden plaque and burial bag represents a person buried underneath.

"Yes."

Lu Li still nodded, bent down and picked up the embroidered shoes under his feet.

"Young man, can you help me get my shoes? My feet hurt so much that I can't walk. ”

The old woman seemed to be in a hurry, and let out a whimpering ghost cry.

"Yes."

Lu Li replied, and then took a step back.

He turned around and walked farther and farther away.

And then never came back.

……

Returning along the forest path, walking some distance and turning around, the mass grave has disappeared into the forest.

The old woman is not there, she may not dare to chase her, or she may not be able to catch up without shoes.

Sand – Sand –

The gloomy and dim sea of trees rippled.

The tips of his hair rose with the wind, Lu Li looked up at the sky, the wind was a little stronger, and the rolling muffled thunder came from the clouds behind the mountain.

Lu Li quickened his pace.

After a few minutes, the trees on both sides of the trail became sparse, and through the trees, you could already see the scattered houses at the foot of the mountain.

Lu Li stood still, and finally glanced back at the way he came, making sure that the old woman had not followed.

There was a hint of coolness on his cheeks, and Lu Liping stretched out his palm. After waiting for a few seconds, a drop of rain falls in the palm of your hand.

The rain was falling.

……

Shen Qianpao was in front of the courtyard gate, looking towards the green mountain where Lu Li was walking.

"Teacher Shen, it's raining, come in."

The woman with a sad look between her eyebrows stood in front of the door and shouted at Shen Qian.

The flock had been herded into their cages, and the drizzle was silky, leaving a damp rain trail on the dry ground.

Shen Qian was already planning to go back to shelter from the rain, but after a hurried glance, he saw a slender silhouette emerge under the rain curtain.

"Old ...... Teacher! Shen Qian, who wanted to call the boss, hurriedly changed his words and rushed out of the courtyard to greet Lu Li.

When he got closer, he lowered his voice and asked, "Boss, where did you go?" ”

Lu Li didn't say a word, and threw the embroidered shoe twisted in his hand to Shen Qian.

Shen Qian subconsciously took it, and after seeing what it was, his heart was shocked, and his panicked eyes revealed a sentence: Which little daughter-in-law are you going to scourge from!?

"Teacher Shen, this is ......"

A lean man with a dark complexion approached.

Shen Qian looked panicked, stuffed the embroidered shoes into his arms, turned his face with a smile and said, "Ah Brother Liu, let me introduce you, this is Teacher Lu, Liu Zhen's head teacher." ”

The man blinked his eyes: "Huh? But I remember that his homeroom teacher was a female teacher. ”

Shen Qian's eyes didn't blink, and he continued: "Oh~ The head teacher went downstairs and broke his leg, this is the new head teacher." ”

"That's it...... Ouch, two teachers, come into the house. ”

The rain gradually rose, and the three of them entered the yard and got into the house before the next big day.

Entering the living room, the woman excitedly grabbed Shen Qian's hands, and her eyes were slightly red: "It's really troublesome for the two teachers, and they have helped us find children for so long." ”

"We are teachers, and we are responsible for every student." Shen Qian's heart was touched, and he faded away from some playfulness.

A cool breeze came in from outside the door, and the man who ran to close the door of the chicken coop crossed the threshold and shouted: "Mother-in-law, go fry two dishes, and then take out the wine in the cabinet!" ”

"Okay!" The woman answered the call and crouched down in front of the earthen stove by the wall, ready to make a fire for cooking.

"No, we'll just come over and have a look, and we'll be there in a moment." Shen Qian hurriedly excused himself.

The man said enthusiastically: "Hey, what are you polite to us, you are the teacher of Ah Zhen, who usually takes care of him, what's the matter with a meal, and I don't know if the rain can stop in the afternoon." ”

When they heard this, they looked out the door together.

The weather, which was only a drizzle before, has now turned into a heavy raindrop, crackling and falling into the courtyard. It was almost dark, and it was not as gloomy as it was noon.

"Shen Qian."

Lu Li called softly.

After three years of getting along, Shen Qian could more or less guess Lu Li's intentions, he took out his mobile phone and checked the weather with the three-bar signal.

Seeing the result, Shen Qian raised his eyebrows and handed the phone to Lu Li's eyes.

It's raining three days after tomorrow, huh...... It's not a good situation.

"What should I do?" Shen Qian asked.

"Stay first."
