Lu Gusong followed the sound of reading and looked for it, thanks to the fact that this village was too quiet, otherwise such an ethereal sound, even with Lu Gusong's hearing, he might not be able to find this place. When the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info arrived at the place, Lu Gusong was even more surprised, because the school where the sound of reading came was too inconspicuous.

The school, also known as Moon Bay, is made up of several earthen tile houses, and the crumbling earthen walls around the school look like they will shake when the wind blows, making them look out of place compared to the red bricks and green tiles around them. The sound of reading coming from inside was also a little sparse, and it didn't sound like there were too many students. Lu Gusong has the impression that since this year ago, schools in townships like this have been merged, but he didn't expect that there would be another one in such a small village, and it is estimated that only some unsatisfactory families would send their children to such a "school".

Lu Gusong stepped forward and gently patted the rusty iron door, the iron door shook back and forth, making a "click" sound, but no one came to open the door after a while. Looking at the appearance of this door, if you use some more force to pat this door, it is estimated that the door will be knocked down, Lu Gusong tried to push the door, but found that the door was not locked, and pushed it open.

Walking into this school, Lu Gusong saw a small courtyard at a glance, and the owner of this family actually changed this small courtyard into a small basketball court. Although there was only one half, an iron frame nailed to the wall, and a few crooked lines drawn with chalk, their intentions could still be seen. It's just that this basketball court is already full of fallen leaves and dust, and the basket has rusted, and it looks like no one has used it for a while.

At this time, a sparse but neat reading voice came from the room next to him:

"Let's swing the sculls,

The boat pushes away the waves,

The sea reflects the beautiful white tower,

Surrounded by green trees and red walls,"

Listening to these immature voices, Lu Gusong was in a trance, he seemed to have returned to his elementary school days, sitting at a small wooden table, reciting articles in books with other classmates, but his heart had already flown out of the window. Life at that time was poor, but it was still happy, there were no nightmares, and there was no need to worry about dying at the hands of demons.

"Alas......" Lu Gusong couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Gusong looked around casually, this "school" only included a few small earthen tile houses, including bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, only one used as a classroom, and the sound of reading came from this room.

Lu Gusong tiptoed cautiously to the window of the classroom, for fear of disturbing the children who were studying inside. Looking in from the window, I saw about a dozen children sitting in this room of less than 30 square meters, they were wearing shabby and old clothes, and their skin was dark and swarthy under the clothes, and their ages did not look the same, the oldest should be eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest could only barely reach the desk in front of him. However, they still read aloud neatly with the old books in their hands, and their eyes were so bright, like thirsty saplings frantically absorbing the rain and dew of knowledge, unaffected by the hardships of the conditions.

At the front of the classroom, an old gentleman was also sitting in front of the blackboard with a book in his hand. The old man looked at least a little old, wearing an old-fashioned tunic suit, his hair was all gray, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were as deep as a knife. However, the old gentleman's waist was still straight, and his eyes behind the thick lenses were also very bright, exuding a wise light.

At this time, the old gentleman raised his head, but saw Lu Gusong outside the window, the old gentleman pushed the reading glasses in front of him, and the reflected light covered his eyes under the mirror. "Alright, students, we're here today, let's get out of class. Suddenly, the old gentleman closed the book in his hand and said to the children in front of him.

"Brush", the children below stood up in unison and bowed to the old gentleman: "Goodbye, teacher." After saying that, they walked out of the classroom one by one, but they did not leave, but played the ball on the "court" together, and the ball fell to the ground "bumping", raising a puff of dust. But the children didn't seem to care, and the happy smiles on their faces added a little life to the dead village.

At this time, the old gentleman in the classroom also packed up his things and walked in front of Lu Gusong: "This gentleman, is there anything wrong with us?"

"I ......" Lu Gusong was speechless for a while, he couldn't tell others that he was here to do the task. He thought for a while and said, "I'm Xia Feixue's friend, and he can't come back this year, so he asked me to come back and have a look." ”

"Really, you're a friend of Blizzard. As soon as the old gentleman heard Xia Feixue's name, he couldn't help but show a happy look on his face, "Is he okay lately?" Halfway through the question, the old gentleman seemed to suddenly remember something, patted his leg and said, "Oh, look at me, how can I let the guests stand outside and talk." Come on, come on, come into the house and sit down. After saying that, he was going to lead Lu Gusong to the room that seemed to be a bedroom.

Lu Gusong thought that it was really not good to let such an old gentleman stand outside, so he responded: "Then thank you, sir." ”

The old gentleman's bedroom was more cramped than the classroom, but the old gentleman had been converted into a bedroom and an office and a study, but even with so many objects, the room was not crowded at all, but seemed to be in order. Lu Gusong walked to the only desk in the room, on which was a book, a pen, a bottle of ink, and an old-fashioned lamp. The books have been turned very old, but the corners of the books are neatly arranged, and there is not even a single wrinkle, which shows that the old gentleman usually cherishes these books.

A steaming cup was placed on the table, "Come, sit down and have a glass of water." The old gentleman put the books on the table to the bookshelf on the side and sat in front of Lu Gusong.

"Thank you, sir. Lu Gusong bowed slightly to the old gentleman and sat down.

"I don't know what this gentleman is called. The old gentleman asked.

"The boy's surname is Lu, his name is Gusong, so Mr. will call me Xiao Lu. Lu Gusong said politely.

"Lone pine, arrogant as a pine, unyielding as a pine, a good name. The old man's surname is Chen, a single name and a jade character, and he has been teaching in this 'Moon Bay' primary school for more than 40 years, and Feixue also went to school with me back then, you and Feixue are friends, if you don't dislike it, then call me Teacher Chen. As soon as the old gentleman mentioned Xia Feixue, his face was full of red light, and his eyes were full of pride, "Feixue, he has been doing well all these years." ”

"Brother Xia, he...... It's not bad, a few years ago, my eldest brother was peacekeeping in Libya in the summer, and after he was discharged from the army, he became a colleague with me. In the past few days, Brother Xia has been arranged by the boss on a business trip, and he really can't get away, so please let me come back and take a look. Lu Gusong hesitated, but still didn't tell Teacher Chen the truth.

"Is it...... a fine light flashed in Teacher Chen's eyes, but it was fleeting, and Lu Gusong didn't pay attention. Then, Mr. Chen fell into a look of memory, "Feixue is a good boy, I have taught for so many years, he is the smartest and the best learner, I knew that he would definitely be promising." I still remember that at that time, he and the man named ...... What's the name, it seems that the little girl named Jiang Yiting has the best play, but then they all moved away, and I don't know if they are together?"

"......" Lu Gusong was silent, he really couldn't bear to tell Mr. Chen that one of these two people who loved each other had been imprisoned, but the other had been separated by yin and yang. He could only squeeze out a smile and said, "You said Sister Ting, yes, they are together, and they will get married in a while, and maybe they will invite your old man to have a wedding wine." ”

"Hey, what am I doing with a bad old man, tell them no, I just need to know that they are okay, and that's fine!" Mr. Chen said with a smile. However, Lu Gusong looked at Mr. Chen's kind smiling face, but he couldn't laugh, and could only barely squeeze out a wry smile.

Lu Gusong then chatted with Teacher Chen about some household chores, and seeing that it was getting late, he got up to say goodbye to Teacher Chen, and Teacher Chen did not stay.

Walking out of the door of Mr. Chen's bedroom, Lu Gusong found that there was no one on the "basketball court" in the yard, and the children should have gone back.

"It turns out that Brother Xia studied in such an environment in the first place. Lu Gusong said with emotion, as the saying goes, "the children of the poor are in charge early", Lu Gusong and Xia Feixue only knew each other for a short time, Lu Gusong could feel his firmness, bravery, decisiveness and other excellent qualities, he was a person who would definitely get ahead, but it was a pity......

Lu Gusong stood under the basketball hoop with a lot of emotion, and suddenly, inexplicably a cold feeling came from behind, as if someone was secretly observing him.

"Who!?" Lu Gusong turned his head vigilantly, only to see a black shadow flash like a shadow at the school gate. Lu Gusong hurriedly chased after him, but when he rushed to the door, he didn't even see a figure. Lu Gusong hurriedly radiated his spiritual power, and at that glance just now, Lu Gusong felt the existence of spiritual power.

"Xiao Lu, what's wrong?" At this time, Teacher Chen walked over.

"Ah, it's okay, the sand is blowing in my eyes. Teacher Chen, go back quickly, it's too windy. Lu Gusong was taken aback and hurriedly responded. When I looked back and wanted to find that person again, I didn't know where to start. Lu Gusong clapped his hands regretfully, and finally met a suspicious person, but he was lost by himself. Lu Gusong shook his head, forget it, anyway, there is still time, this village is so big, as long as that person is still here, he will definitely be able to find him. Lu Gusong didn't think about it anymore, he judged the next direction, and walked towards the northwest.

As soon as Lu Gusong left, a tall figure leaned out of half of his body from the "Moon Bay", squinting at the direction where Lu Gusong disappeared.
