Chapter 894: Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moons! (c)
After a few hours of bumps along the way, Jiang Ye only felt that he was about to fall apart, and finally came to the small village where Xia Cao was located after turning over the mountain peaks, Jiang Ye saw that there were more than 20 small mountain villages in front of him, a few old men sat under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village smoking dry cigarettes and chatting about family life, Jiang Ye didn't even have a telephone pole in the poor mountain village, it was certain that this village had not been electrified until now, Jiang Ye couldn't help but feel sad, if Xia Cao spent one night after another these years.
When the horse gang came to the school with things, Jiang Ye got off the horse, and stood there stunned at the three dilapidated school buildings with nylon paste windows, and not far away Jiang Ye saw the woman who made him think about it day and night, Xia Cao, however, Xia Cao also arrived at Jiang Ye's arrival, Xia Cao smiled and let the child next to him into the classroom, and then looked at Jiang Ye with four eyes, and then, as expected, ran towards Jiang Ye and threw himself into his arms, and Jiang Ye was also stunned by what he saw in front of him, The shocked mouth couldn't close, and the thin skin in front of him, dressed in twisted clothes, with a ponytail hanging down behind him, sat on a small horse tie, and a few textbooks on his knees.
And next to Xia Cao, there was a pair of crutches, Jiang Ye's nose was sour, and tears slipped down his cheeks uncontrollably.
Xia Cao stood in place in a daze and cried Jiang Ye, put up his crutches and walked slowly to Jiang Ye, raised his head slightly at Jiang Ye, and said very simply, "Why are you here?" ”
Jiang Ye didn't seem to hear Xia Cao's words, as if the world at this moment had nothing to do with him, and time was frozen at this moment, after a while, Jiang Ye came back to his senses, slowly stretched out his hand to hold Xia Cao's face, choked up and said, "Xiaocao, you have lost weight." ”
Natsukusa showed a bright smile, the two rows of white teeth and the dark skin created a strong contrast, "I'm fine, don't worry." ”
Jiang Ye suddenly hugged Xia Cao tightly into his arms, "Xiaocao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't come to you until now." ”
The smile on Xia Cao's face disappeared, but silently shed tears, if there is anything outside the mountain that worries him, then it is his father, and the man in front of him, the man who allows him to grit his teeth and persevere.
At this time, the twenty or so students in the school all walked out of the dilapidated school building, the children were ignorant, but at this moment they all kept quiet, everyone stood in a row, hugging their teachers and people together, the children did not understand the human feelings of the adult world, but they knew who was good to him, he was good to whom.
After a wordless hug, Xia Cao wiped the tears on her face and squeezed out a smile to Jiang Ye, "You wait for me for a while, it's time to get out of school, and some students have to walk for miles to get home." ”
Jiang Ye nodded silently, and Xia Cao turned around with a cane and walked towards the school building step by step, at this time a student handed the small hammer in his hand to Xia Cao, Xia Cao took out a hand and touched the child's head, and then used the small hammer to knock a few times on a piece of hanging scrap iron, at this time, all the students came to the small playground to line up neatly.
Xia Cao looked at the students in front of him, "Students, after school, the senior students should take care of the junior students, be sure to send them all home, don't be greedy for fun on the road, it gets dark quickly." ”
"Teacher Xia, don't worry, we know." Although the children's voices were uneven, at this moment, Jiang Ye suddenly found that this was the most beautiful and beautiful natural sound in the world.
"Teacher Xia, is Uncle Jiang Ye here?" An older child asked aloud.
Xia Cao's face couldn't help but blush slightly, her eyes looked at Jiang Ye, and the children laughed happily, "Great, Teacher Xia finally met Uncle Jiang Ye." ”
"Teacher Xia, I'll bring you a few eggs tomorrow, and you have to entertain Uncle Jiang Ye well." One of the children said.
"I bring bacon."
"I'll bring cabbage."
A group of students all spoke, Jiang Ye couldn't help but be moved, and walked towards Xia Cao, showing a smile at the children, "Students, thank you all for taking such good care of you Teacher Xia, thank you." ”
"No, we want to thank Teacher Xia, it is Teacher Xia who did not abandon us and allowed us to go to school." Older kids know this.
Xia Cao glanced at Jiang Ye with a smile, and Jiang Ye said to the children with a smile, "Students, it's not too early, everyone should go home early, can you take care of your younger brothers and sisters on the way?" Shall I teach you to sing tomorrow? ”
"Okay." A group of children happily responded.
After the children dispersed, Jiang Ye helped Xia Cao to sit on the pyre at the school gate, and Jiang Ye asked the monk to make dinner.
The afterglow of the sunset in the west reflected a layer of glow on the two of them, Xia Cao looked at the majestic mountains in the distance, a piece of red in the clouds, very beautiful, and said softly, "Every day at this time, I will sit here at sunset, outside the mountain, because I know that there is my thoughts in that aspect, and I am the most reluctant person." ”
Jiang Ye hugged Xia Cao into his arms, "Why don't you sue me?" ”
Xia Cao smiled, "When I first arrived at this place, I was not used to it, life here is very hard, my ancestors have been facing the loess with their backs to the sky for generations, and the teachers who came here have not been here for long, this place is too poor and too poor, you know?" When I first came here, I hid in the quilt and cried every night, and many times I didn't know why I was crying, and I didn't know why I came here, and later, day after day, when this qiē became a habit, I understood, I also thought about giving up and leaving a long time ago, but whenever I saw the children's faces covered with mud but smiling brightly and innocently, I was reluctant to leave them, I seemed to have found my own way to the future, so, I persevered, Rising in the morning with the rooster crowing and resting at sunset, if I have any regrets, it is you. ”
Jiang Ye hugged Xia Cao's hand tightly, "Xiaocao, you are not as beautiful as before, but you are the most beautiful person in the world, and you are also the person I love deeply." ”
Xia Cao showed a wry smile on her face, and looked at Jiang Ye with big eyes, "Are you here to take me away this time?" ”
"I miss you, so I'll come to you." Jiang Ye said.
Xia Cao smiled, "Don't take my feelings into account, I know everything." ”
Jiang Ye stroked Xia Cao's cheek, "Xiaocao, do you know?" I'm not good at all without you, but I can't let myself stop, I'm very busy every day, and I only let myself think about you in my spare time, I'm afraid I can't control myself. ”
Xia Cao also stretched out her hand and stroked Jiang Ye's cheek, "I don't want you, I don't want to do it at all, teach the children to read, write, and count during the day, and I have to be busy preparing some supplies for the children at night, I don't have the time or energy to miss you." ”
Jiang Ye could feel the roughness of Xia Cao's hands, Jiang Ye's nose was sour, and tears fell on Xia Cao's face, Xia Cao smiled and said, "Fool, I'm fine, really good." ”
Jiang Ye nodded vigorously, "Well, I believe you are good, very good." ”
