I carefully slipped the photo into my jacket pocket, and as for the black-and-white posthumous photo hanging on the wall, I decided to steal it next time. [Ran^Text^Library] []

This year passed quickly, in a blink of an eye, it was time to volunteer to teach, I casually packed a few clothes, this is a year, there are not many opportunities to go home halfway, at the airport my mother leaned on my dad's arms and wiped her tears.

"Su Yi, take good care of yourself, your parents are waiting for you at home, remember."

I blinked my sour eyes and nodded, reluctant to part, the same on Tao Tao, she hugged me and cried for a while, and asked me in a soft voice: "What are your plans to come back?" ”

"I don't know yet, I want to wait and see."

What to wait for, Tao Tao didn't ask, after all, we all know too well, what else can we wait for.

The next day was the airport where Tao Tao sent me, and when I left, I also brought two large bags of things to me, saying that I may not be used to eating the taste of the north, and it is good to prepare some snacks, I did not shirk it, and accepted it.

Three hours later, I arrived at Xinzheng Airport in Henan Province, and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. I checked the address on the slip of paper and asked a local airport staff member to buy a ticket to Jiaozuo, and it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon.

It was an embarrassing time, the teaching address was written in a small ravine where Qinyang City and Jincheng City were handed over, it was a place called Tonghao Village, there was no bus to go, I could only take a taxi to go over, but I didn't know what time it was, but it might delay time.

I was standing in the crowded doorway of the bus station, ready to drag my luggage away, when my phone suddenly rang.

I picked it up and looked at it, and the untitled calling number was displayed, I hung up directly, and after a few seconds, I called again, and I picked it up.

"Hey, are you here to teach in our village?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was very loud and the accent was heavy, and I pricked up my ears to hear his words: "It's me, you're ......"

"At eight o'clock in the evening, you go to Xiwan Town, and we will drive to pick you up."

I asked several times before I was sure that I had heard the right name of the town, and the other party was going to pick me up, so I couldn't go away, so I dragged my luggage back to the station.

I couldn't buy a ticket to Xiwan Town, and it was troublesome to transfer trains, so I had to ask several cars for rent before someone agreed to send me there.

The town of Sivan is very ordinary, not unlike most small towns, and there was still a little time before 8 p.m., so I found a small restaurant to fill my stomach.

The winter night is always dark very early, and when it is almost eight o'clock, I can hardly see the road, and the person who said that he wanted to pick me up stood on the stone road at the door and beckoned to me: "Come, we have come to pick you up." ”

"Okay, come on."

I quickly wiped my mouth, walked to the door of the store, and paid the money, the boss kept staring at me with strange eyes, and the eyes were hairy.

"Little girl, who did you just talk to?"

I pointed to the outside of the store in confusion, and when I saw it, the person was gone, so I could only smile awkwardly: "Someone came to pick me up, maybe I went that way." ”

After looking for my change, the boss grabbed my hand and asked me to pay attention to safety with a serious expression, I nodded and went out with my luggage.

I found the van that had come to pick me up, groped my way and got into it, the night was so dark that I couldn't even see the driver's face, and he said a few words in the voice that I had just called me, which I didn't quite understand. I was so sleepy after tossing for a long time that I found a comfortable position and slept on the chair.

After waking up, it was still dark, but the car stopped, I don't know what time, I took out my mobile phone, found that there was no power and automatically turned off, so I simply put it back in my bag, and when I looked at the side, the driver was gone.

What about people?

I can only carry my luggage to get out of the car first, one foot on the mud surface, the teacher who declared before coming to give me a vaccination, the conditions here are particularly difficult, I can only see the general outline of the house at a glance, the black light is blind, not even an open light, it is really hard.

"Uncle? Anyone? I shouted twice, but no one answered, and I didn't want to wait in the car, so I dragged my luggage and walked towards the village.

I remember it's called Tonghao Village, the specific location can't be remembered clearly, I have been walking inside, but I have never seen half a figure, thinking about this miserable, it must not be the right time, the villagers have not gotten up before dawn, I will be here, what can I do.

The black car driver never showed up again, I didn't know how far I went, and it was not a way to think about going on like this, so I looked around for a place to sit as I walked.

I fumbled around in a small hill-like place to rest, resting my elbows on the suitcase in front of me, intending to sit and wait until dawn.

I don't know how long I sat there, but I could hear a sudden heartbeat around me, and it was dark in front of me, and I didn't dare to move even if I was timid.

"Ahh

Not far in front of me, a pair of bulging eyes suddenly appeared, hollow and dirty, abrupt, silently suspended in the dark, staring at me.

My first reaction was to meet a ghost, clenching the suitcase tightly and trying to run, the eyes in front of me suddenly made an old and hoarse voice: "Who." ”

Yes, it's people?!

"Grandpa?" Listening to the voice, he was very old and lacked qi, so I swallowed my saliva: "I'm here to teach, I just came today, my surname is Su." ”

He didn't speak.

I was afraid that he would misunderstand, so I wanted to show him the teaching certificate, but now it was pitch black, and I couldn't find it, so I asked stubbornly: "Grandpa, what time is it, and how long is it until morning?" ”

After a long silence, he said slowly, "Follow me." ”

As my eyes rolled, I followed. My heart is still hairy, how do I feel that his eyes seem to have their own light, swarthy, and I can see it.

After walking for a while, except for the sound of footsteps, it was still quiet, and I couldn't help but ask again: "Old man, where are we going?" ”

"Class."

Simply answer me with two words and ignore any of my questions, but it's so late, what class are you taking?

I don't know how long I walked, but when I felt my calf swelled a little, a row of light appeared in front of me.

It's like a pull-through room, revealing a small patch of light, it's a classroom!?

The old man sent me to the door, and I looked at his face through the dim light, the deep wrinkles were like interlaced ravines, and the whole face was gray, and his back was bent, and his eyes were staring at me fiercely, which reminded me of the scene I had just seen.

"Get in."

I let out a surprised "um" and hurriedly asked, "Is it morning now?" Is the child coming to class so early? ”

The old man ignored me, turned around slowly, and walked away with very slow steps.

I didn't pay attention when I came here just now, but the speed of walking is normal, why is it that in the blink of an eye, I can't walk very well?

I left my suitcase outside the door and stepped into the classroom.

The driver dragged me over overnight, probably just in time for this class, but why didn't he wake me up, and he didn't make a sound when he shouted, he went to the toilet?

After entering the classroom, it was even more weird.

The small classroom had about five or six rows of seats, and only a few students sat sparsely, and when they saw me come in, a pair of eyes stared at me, their expressions numb, and the dim lights on the beams of the room were eerie.

I walked over to the old wooden lectern and flipped through the textbooks on it, the light so dim that I could barely read the words.

I didn't expect the conditions here to be like this, the students came to class so early, but the lamp didn't work, it would always hurt the eyes, I felt sorry for this group of children to suffer this kind of hardship at such a young age, and I didn't feel very good in my heart, and I planned to find the village official at dawn, and mention it.

I tried to lift my spirits and say hello warmly, but I didn't get a single response, and the children were always expressionless.

Perhaps unaccustomed to my new strangers in the village, I lowered my voice, softened my voice, opened the book, and began to talk about the new content.

Speaking of where it was time for students to take notes, I picked up a piece of chalk and turned around and wrote it down on the blackboard, and told them to take notes, but the chalk in my hand was surprisingly soft, not like the hardness of chalk, I glanced at the white stick, which was no different from normal chalk, and I didn't think much about it, and continued to write on the blackboard.

I pinched the time and it was almost up, and the sky outside was slowly brighter than the chandelier on the beam, so I finished writing the last stroke on the blackboard, put the chalk into the blackboard slot, and clapped my hands: "Okay, let's get here first, next class ......"

As I spoke, I turned around and looked back, and there was still half a student in the empty classroom!
