Chapter 24: Where Are You?

Please Baidu down. [Ran^Text^Library] []

Curiosity drove me into the courtyard, breathing very lightly, and when I got closer, I saw it more clearly, and then I breathed a sigh of relief: "Old man, this child, is this your grandson?" ”

I'm not sure if the kid standing next to the old man is the one outside my house.

The old man sat facing the door, one eye staring up at me slowly, and the other staring at me strangely for a few seconds, and then slowly closing his eyes.

"Let's go."

His voice sounded uncomfortable like a throat clenched hoarsely. I was embarrassed to stay longer, so I took out a piece of candy from my jacket pocket and handed it forward.

The thin figure shrank back again, and I comforted me gently: "Don't be afraid, eat sugar, it's very sweet." ”

I raised the sugar in my hand, placed it on a raised stone at hand, and left the old man's house.

This should be the common state of left-behind children in rural China, where the backbone of the family goes to work in other places, leaving the elderly and children to take care of the family, and they can't come back a few times a year.

In the blink of an eye, I walked to the door of the classroom again, planning to find a plug to flush my phone on before class.

As soon as the front foot took a step forward, I heard Brother Luo at the end of the classroom yelling: "Hurry up and follow!" ”

I was shocked, how did Brother Luo, who was obviously in the house just now, come here? I clearly haven't seen him on this road.

In the dim light, Brother Luo was holding a child in his arms, the little boy who lost his head in my dream

"What's wrong with him, is he okay?"

Brother Luo stepped out of the classroom first, walked on the road in a hurry, turned his head and replied, "Dead." ”

He's dead?

I was so frightened that I hurriedly followed, and beside Brother Luo, I just wanted to reach out and touch the little boy's head to check, but Brother Luo pushed it away with his elbow and yelled, "Don't touch it!" ”

"I just want to check what happened, how did he die when he was so good?"

In my nightmare, he clearly lost his head and died! The little boy was held in Luo Ge's arms, and all I could see was his white face, no breathing movements.

"I drank pesticides and poisoned them." Brother Luo explained the reason lightly, and his pace was very urgent, as if he was in a hurry.

"Pesticides?" My heart was upset again: "Why does he drink pesticides?" What about the doctor, has a doctor examined him, and is he going to be sent for a check-up now? Is there a doctor in the village? ”

I guess I asked too much, and Brother Luo replied irritably: "No! It's confirmed that it's dead, you just have to keep up! ”

I had no choice but to follow Brother Luo, and when I passed the sheep intestine path that only allowed one person to pass, I fearfully reminded Brother Luo to pay attention, who knew that he didn't mean to slow down at all, and he was always in a hurry, so I stubbornly followed.

Walking through the woods and back to where we lived, Brother Luo suddenly turned to me with the child in his arms and said coldly, "Take the shovel at the door of my room." ”

I did so in a daze, and after taking it, I went to find Brother Luo, who raised his chin and motioned to me: "By the well, dig a pit." ”

I suddenly understood what he meant, he wanted me to dig a grave and come out.

"Don't look at it anymore, Brother Luo, give it to me, I'll check it first."

I have only been in Tongle Village for two days, and a child suddenly died, and my heart is too difficult to digest.

"No, you dig quickly, the dead are dead, hurry up and bury them!"

I disagreed: "Why didn't the parents of the children come, we have to inform them first." ”

"You're all out of the village to work, hurry up!"

He kept urging me, so I had to pick up a shovel and dig first, and I said that I would check how the child died.

"Don't touch anyone in the village! You can't just approach anyone! Your job is to teach, and this is the rule of our village that you must follow! Know, no! "Brother Luo is vicious and fierce, and his face is even more hideous in the dim moonlight.

I always felt like he was mentioning that I had met a kid at the well. It is naturally uncomfortable to be yelled at. But he said that this was the village rule, and I had no choice but to nod my head and continue to shovel the mud under my feet.

I can only muttered in my heart, saying that I was only allowed to teach, so how could I do the work of burying the dead villagers.

The child's size is small and he can't dig much of a pit, so I think the size is appropriate, so I signaled to Brother Luo that it was okay. He swept it twice with a scrutinizing look, and with a rare look of satisfaction, he raised his hand and pointed again.

"The water in the mouth of the well was poured into three buckets."

I wanted to ask why, but after thinking that it was not impossible for him to put out the village rules to suppress me, I didn't squeak much and did so.

"Okay, bury it."

After Brother Luo finished speaking, he threw the little boy he was holding into the pit. I was a little angry: "Brother Luo, although the child died in an accident due to his bad life, he was also from the village before his death, aren't you afraid that his parents will be sad if they find out." ”

"You're distressed, then you go down to accompany him." The corners of Brother Luo's mouth pulled up a strange arc, and he said with a weird smile.

Sick

I cursed in my heart and ignored him. Continuing to shovel the mud around and bury the corpse, a small hill bag rose on the originally flat ground, and I found another stick and stuck it in front of the hill bag.

Everything in the funeral is very simple, just like the environment in which he lives in the world, I don't feel good in my heart, but I have no choice but to pray silently, innocent children, can be reincarnated into a good family, food and clothing, and someone to love.

After this toss, I was hungry and sleepy, so tired that I couldn't open my eyelids, and I wanted to go back to the house and sleep well.

As soon as I closed the door, the knock rang again, and as soon as I opened a crack in the door, a familiar foul smell wafted from it, and I almost vomited in disgust.

It's exactly the same as the smell of a brush

"Eat."

Brother Luo stood at the door, holding a bowl in his hand, standing straight at the door.

As soon as I smelled it, I had a premonition that something was wrong and I started to get scared.

Brother Luo seemed to see my expression clearly, and asked impatiently, "Are you still eating this meal?" ”

I just wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, in order not to startle the snake, I held my breath and brought the bowl over, and as soon as Brother Luo left, I hurriedly ran to the corner to put the bowl down, and ran to the side of the bed before I dared to exhale.

This smell, even from such a distance, can be smelled, and it makes me dizzy.

Although there are many snacks that Tao Tao helped me prepare, I can't afford to eat, at most for a week.

But the rotten stench of the food made my scalp tingle when I thought about it, everything in Tongle Village was very wrong, and it seemed that something had been buried.

The old man with eye disease, the fierce Brother Luo, the child who died suddenly, the weird classroom, what is it that can connect everything.

No, I pinched the mobile phone in my pocket through the fabric, I had to rush back to the classroom immediately, flush the mobile phone, and find a place with a signal, get through the phone, at least I can feel more at ease.

Blinking my sleepy eyes, I quietly walked out of the room, picked up the thin stick, ran to the classroom as fast as I could, ran to the sheep intestine path, and did not dare to slow down too much, and only breathed a sigh of relief when I arrived at the classroom.

This is the first time I went around to the back of the classroom, two-thirds of the small classroom is set up with desks and chairs, I carefully checked if there is a power plug, the dilapidated wall has scratches and there is nothing left, I was very anxious, so I had to follow the light line, go around to a corner at the back of the classroom, and see the interface.

Got it! Without saying a word, I pulled out the light plug and quickly plugged in my phone charger. Seeing that the screen lit up the signal that the plug was in poor contact, I was so anxious that I stomped my feet, so I could only grit my teeth and fiddle with the charger for a while, and finally the display was charged up, and the sweat on my forehead also ran out.

During the charging process, I thought about the person I called countless times, overturned and thought, and only Lu Fan's name was in my mind.

These strange things I encountered, I can't tell Taotao and my parents who don't know everything, Rolling has been with Lu Fan all the time, I find Lu Fan, Rolling will be there, but whether they can get through on the phone is still unknown.

Seeing the phone screen light up, like a rising hope, not to mention that there is a signal, it is a surprise! Just when I doubted whether I could contact Lu Fan and Rolling, several text messages were piled up in the text box, and I clicked on them to take a look.

The top one is a message from Senior Qicheng, under the name of his note, the content of the first half of the text message is written, I clicked on it, and it showed all.

"Xiaoyi, Teacher Deng asked why you didn't go to Tongle Village to teach, I can't contact you by phone, I don't dare to inform your family, if you receive a message, please reply to me, okay?"
