Following the direction of Village Chief Huang's finger, Qin Yu saw a private house built against the mountain, with broken stone blocks underneath and a wooden structure on top. The house is low and old, built on the highest part of Lujia Village.

The houses of the rest of the villagers are far away from the village chief's house, scattered among the fields. A shriveled old man, about seventy years old, was smoking a dry cigarette in front of the house.

Not far away is a very large area of ancient building, brick structure, on the lintel written [Lu family ancestral hall] four big characters. Although it is also very old, it is much better than where the villagers live.

Qin Yu knew in his heart that the mountain villages in remote places paid more attention to the construction of ancestral halls, and would rather build ancestral ancestral halls if they were not full, because the ancestral hall represented the face of a clan.

If there are high-ranking officials and nobles in the clan, they will build the ancestral hall as soon as possible.

"The Lu family ancestral hall will be the place where you teach in the future." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

Qin Yu walked closer, only to see that the ancestral hall seat was in a zigzag structure in the south and north. In the middle is the lobby, which should enshrine the tablets of the elders of the Lu family, and the door is closed and will not be easily opened unless there is a major event. On both sides are two rows of empty houses, in which all kinds of sacrificial supplies, incense, candles, fruits, etc., every big day the patriarch will lead the clan to worship the ancestors here.

"After the collective discussion of the villagers, the vacant room on the left can choose any room as a place to stay, and the bottom row of the vacant room on the right is a school for children." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

This condition is a bit rudimentary, the teacher's dormitory and the student classroom are a little improvised patchwork, looking at the house in front of him, Qin Yu thought to himself. However, since he is here to teach, he will not dislike the difficult conditions.

Walking over and pushing open the door, the 'classroom' was quite spacious, enough to accommodate about twenty students. There are several tables, chairs and benches in the middle, and it seems that they have also been temporarily moved from various families.

There was no blackboard or chalk on the podium, and although the teaching facilities were not complete, Qin Yu felt that he could completely rely on his own hands to change. If you don't have a chalkboard, just find a wooden board, and if you don't have chalk, use a carbon stick.

"Mr. Qin, if you don't have anything special, it's best not to enter the main hall of the ancestral hall, after all, it enshrines the ancestral tablet of the Lu clan." Zhu Yuanzhang reminded.

If a person with a foreign surname enters the ancestral hall of another village's village without authorization, the villagers can be killed directly, and the government will say that it is good to fight if they know about it.

"Of course I do." Qin Yu said.

Even today, in the 21st century, many rural areas still attach great importance to this matter, and even some poor mountain villages have many strange rules. It is both a rule and a taboo.

Although teachers are respected everywhere, the taboos of the villagers are still untouchable. Once touched, even if you are a teacher, the villagers will not give face.

Qin Yu remembered that last year, a female teacher went to a remote mountain village to teach, and at first she taught well, but later she was chased and beaten by the villagers just because she touched a male student's forehead and violated the taboo in the village.

Qin Yu knows the severity.

"Okay, we still have something to go at home, so you can go around by yourself first." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "If your health is completely well, you will move to the village and officially start teaching students." ”

"Okay." Qin Yu said, "Uncle Huang, where is your home?" ”

"Over there." Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the mountain beam in front of him, "Both sides belong to Lujia Village. ”

Seeing the village chief leave, Qin Yu decided to go down the mountain early tomorrow morning. Then they moved into the 'teachers' dormitory, spent the morning tidying up their rooms, and started registering the student roster in the afternoon.

After walking such a long way just now, there was no bad condition in his body, and he felt that he should be completely fine.

Living in a hunter's hut halfway up the mountain, I often hear wild beasts and pheasants crowing on the mountain in the middle of the night, which affects sleep. Being bitten by mosquitoes at night is definitely not worth nostalgia.

He was an atheist, and he was not afraid that a beautiful vixen or a lonely ghost turned into a beautiful woman would suddenly appear in the mountains in the middle of the night to harass him, but he was afraid that the beast would suddenly rush in.

Of course, the most important reason why he wanted to move down as soon as possible was because he was bored, he couldn't play with his mobile phone without a signal, he couldn't even read a book without lighting up when it was dark, and he couldn't sleep while lying in bed.

It's better to go down the mountain early and get to work.

Without staying in the village for long, Qin Yu returned to the thatched hut halfway up the mountain.

Start packing.

With a squeak, they were pushed away. Lu Qingqian walked in again with a bowl of gruel with wild vegetables, this time she no longer had the shyness she had when she first met Qin Yu, and as soon as she entered the door, she asked, "Mr. Qin, did you go to our village just now?" ”

"How do you know?" Qin Yu asked while eating wild vegetables.

"Brother Zhuzi in the village told me that he was catching crickets in the grass behind the patriarch's house." Lu Qing said.

"I went, I went to see the school." Qin Yu said.

"Sir, my Abba said that your injuries should be healed soon, and today is the last time to change your dressing, and you can remove the white cloth in three days." Lu Qingqian said, "Come, I'll help you change the medicine first." ”

"Thank you." Qin Yu said.

"You really like to be polite, and you hang the word thank you on your lips all day long. My Abba said that when I first saw your face, I knew that you were a reader. Lu Qingqian smiled and asked Qin Yu to stretch his legs to the side of the bed, and then carefully helped him remove the white cloth, Qin Yu looked down, although the wound was very scary, it had basically healed, and he didn't know if he had ever broken a bone.

While Qin Yu was eating, Qing Qian brought a jar of water from the back of the house.

Carefully helped him wash off the dried herbs, and then took out a medicine jar, which was full of mashed herbs and green juice, and a strong smell of medicine came to his face.

Lu Qingqian helped him apply the herbs on it, and finally bandaged it with a white cloth again.

I don't know how to change it, but in hospitals in big cities, the gauze is changed one at a time, for fear of wound infection. And here, people seem to have no concept of infection at all.

Then there are the wounds on the body, and on the arms.

The little girl handled it very carefully and gently, and her little hands were delicate, which made Qin Yu think in a trance that it would be nice if she had such a sister. After taking care of everything, Qin Yu sent her down the mountain.

……

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

Lujia Village under the mountain.

There is a spacious earthen dam in the village, and a straight locust tree grows on the edge of the mound. The crow flew around the branch three times, and when it found that there was no branch to stay, it croaked twice and flew south.

At this time, the dam was already full of villagers from Lujia Village, some sitting, some squatting, and there were a total of more than 100 people, old and young.

The three old men in the middle of the dam sat on a small bench, and the oldest one was over eighty years old with a dry tobacco bag in his hand, which was really the patriarch that Qin Yu saw during the day. The other two old people are also very famous in the village, and they are the oldest elderly surnamed Lu in two rooms and three rooms.
