Chapter 5: The Steam Girl and the Classical Teacher (1)

(Ask for a ticket at the beginning of the month, there will be big things happening this month, please look forward to it!)

Cheng Mo sat at the desk that belonged to him in the afternoon and turned on the computer, and the old chassis with outdated configuration made an ugly "buzzing" sound, a bit like the weak roar of the engine of his uncle's original broken van.

Time seems to freeze in the computer.

The computer desktop is very clean, with only a few sporadic icons, Cheng Mo has always controlled the icons on the desktop in single digits, unlike some people's desktops, densely packed with all kinds of software and games. Cheng Mo moved his smooth and new Logitech mouse, clicked on Changya's learning software and entered the student number, and after a while, he logged in to the interface that had become very unfamiliar.

In the past, clicking in was the choice of various subjects, and below was a variety of PK lists, but now Changya's learning software has been completely revised, adding a lot of categories, such as a red banner hanging at the top - "There are 31 days left before the college entrance examination", which was originally not.

And then there is the top of the famous teacher's explanation column, there is no doubt that this is a video of Changya's teacher explaining the key points of each subject for everyone. Cheng Mo glanced at it, the first page was Mr. Tang's "College Entrance Examination Mathematics Training Camp", Cheng Mo had no good impression of this former head teacher, and he didn't take a second look, and directly moved his gaze to the bottom of the "Famous Teacher's Explanation" column, where his ID "Running Fat Man" was displayed.

His avatar was blank, but behind his ID, there was a cartoon swallow wearing a Changya school uniform and holding a shield of the Changya school emblem, waving the school emblem and saying, "Hey! How can you be lazy? The ranking of brushing questions is already outside the thousand! Go practice and catch up with everyone."

Looking at the cartoon swallows with two blush on Meng Meng's face, Cheng Mo knew that this must be Yan Yitong's handiwork, Changya APP has always been under the management of the student union, and it is estimated that it was Fu Yuanzhuo's support that made Yan Yitong regard the swallows she rescued as Changya's mascot.....

Cheng Mo's face couldn't help but smile lightly, just about to start his journey of brushing questions, he saw a photo of Teacher Shen on the last page of the "Famous Teacher's Explanation" at the top.

Teacher Shen, who was wearing a black uniform and holding a book on his chest, smiled quietly on the screen, and the line below read: "Shen Youyi will tell you famous books".

Cheng Mo stared at Teacher Shen in the computer, until the page automatically slid to the next page of Tang Shuisheng's page, Cheng Mo immediately pulled the picture back and clicked directly into it.

Clicking on it is a video, and there is a line of text at the bottom of the video: "In response to the enthusiastic request of my classmates and the invitation of the student union, I opened this column. When I was a Chinese teacher, the most common problem I encountered was that many students would wonder why their essays were not good enough. The written essay can neither shine with the brilliance of reason, nor can it reflect the beauty of rhyme and words. I thought about it for a long time, and I thought it was because people read too little. But as a high school student, facing the college entrance examination, there is not enough time, and there is no way to read those difficult tomes and masterpieces, so I will use a short time to tell you about some famous books, so that everyone can have a more or less basic understanding of famous books, and I hope to use this video to cultivate everyone's interest in these gradually cooling words. โ€

Cheng Mo thought to himself that Mr. Shen was still the same Mr. Shen, and he was not utilitarian at all, if he changed to another teacher, it would probably be "College Entrance Examination Essay Writing Guide", or "How to Write a Full Score College Entrance Examination Essay" or something like that.

clicked play, the payment information popped up, it takes 9 learning points to read, Cheng Mo doesn't know how much Huaxia coins 9 learning points are worth now, he has a lot of school points left in his account, and after paying without hesitation, Cheng Mo saw Teacher Shen sitting in front of the desk, and there was a white porcelain bottle on the desk, which was filled with fresh and elegant camellias.

Cheng Mo put on the headphones, clicked play, and heard Mr. Shen's gentle and soft voice, probably more literary girls will have the feeling of a treasure island girl when they speak, there is sweetness in the softness, and so is Mr. Shen, but the sweetness of her voice is just right, it will not make people feel that she is snorting, nor will it make people feel alienated, like someone close to whispering in her ear.

Perhaps most people would be attracted by Mr. Shen's face and stared at Mr. Shen's vivid face like a lake, but Cheng Mo gently closed his eyes and listened to Mr. Shen's voice attentively.

"Hello everyone, I'm Shen Youyi, the Chinese teacher of the third grade (9) class of high school, today I am talking to you about "One Hundred Years of Solitude", it is difficult to talk about such a complex work in depth in a limited time, I just hope that after dismantling the 'magic' and 'reality' of this one, you will find that it is not so difficult. Let me first read you a paragraph from the beginning of "One Hundred Years of Solitude....."

The earphones were quiet for a while, and Cheng Mo seemed to hear the sound of continuous rain, and then Teacher Shen's voice drifted into his ears in the rain.

"'Years later, Colonel Aureliano, standing before the firing squad, will surely remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to see the ice. At that time, Macondo was a village of twenty families, with mud houses built on the banks of the river, and the water was clear and flowed along the bed of a river full of stones, which were smooth and white, like a prehistoric dome. โ€™โ€

"This beginning is probably one of the most famous in the history of literature, and it is famous not because this passage is the best one ever written, but because the vast majority of people only remember such an opening......"

Teacher Shen's voice soaked Cheng Mo like warm water, and he seemed to be able to see Teacher Shen sitting at his desk in the cold winter, the drizzle outside the window beating on the window lattice, and every time she read a sentence, the white mist she exhaled would roll over his ears like dew.

........

"A student of philosophy once said to me that Greece is the eternal teacher of mankind. I know that he meant that modern philosophy originated in Greece, but when I look back at literature, it seems to have the same fate. A recurring theme in Greek tragedy is that neither gods nor humans can escape the mercy of fate. Even as powerful as Zeus is often played by fate. In addition to the famous Oedipus, Artemis shot his lover Orion, Icarus was melted by the sun, and so on. โ€

However, the modern Western cultural tradition has interpreted Greek mythology and stories more in a positive sense, such as the exponents of romantic ideas, Byron and Shelley, who reinvented Greece and defined Greek heroes as tragic characters who recognized their fate and then decided to resist. โ€

"This is the real tragic heroism, they are not complacent at the beginning, and then they are hit by fate, and then they begin to counterattack, but they are in deep despair from the beginning, in an extremely pessimistic atmosphere, they still choose to fight, put their lives on the ground. โ€

"For example, Nietzsche's interpretation of Oedipus is unique, he believes that Oedipus's final blinding is not destruction, but a rejection of the superficial world, and he thus acquires a new ability to grasp the world..."

"Mรกrquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude also inherits the blood of Greek mythology, and he writes not about the curse of fate, but about the high-spirited tragedy......"

.........

Cheng Mo closed his eyes and listened to Mr. Shen's explanation of "One Hundred Years of Solitude", the eighteen-minute video was as short as a song, which was really a charming enjoyment. Cheng Mo knew that Mr. Shen didn't read much philosophy books before, but she didn't expect that now she could start from a philosophical perspective to analyze "One Hundred Years of Solitude", there is no doubt that this must have been influenced by herself, Cheng Mo remembered that Mr. Shen told him that he would read more philosophy books.

At that time, he thought that even if Mr. Shen went to see it, he might not be interested in studying it, but after listening to Mr. Shen's lecture on "One Hundred Years of Solitude", Cheng Mo knew that the current Mr. Shen already had a certain understanding of philosophy.

Cheng Mo's heart was filled with sweetness, although Mr. Shen didn't say it, but this "go like your like" feeling is very sincere, Cheng Mo listened to Mr. Shen's voice again, and this time he watched Mr. Shen's video with his eyes open, only to find that he could still reward, Cheng Mo left two hundred learning points for himself, and gave more than 200,000 learning points to Teacher Shen without hesitation, so he turned off the video, and didn't notice that his ID appeared in the first place in the reward ranking.....

Next, Cheng Mo put aside his distracting thoughts and began to brush the questions without distraction, until the bright gold outside the window gradually darkened, and the aunt suddenly knocked on the door of the room a few times, and shouted outside: "Cheng Mo, your uncle called to find you!"

Cheng Mo said "oh", feeling a little strange, it stands to reason that his uncle would not have anything urgent to call him, he moved his chair, opened the door, and his aunt handed him the phone. Cheng Mo answered the phone, and he heard his uncle shouting in a loud voice: "Cheng Mo, why don't you turn on the phone? Your teacher calls me here! Hurry up and call your teacher surnamed Shen back!"

Cheng Mo said "yes" and returned the phone to his aunt, who asked with concern, "What's the matter, it's not a big deal, right?"

Since Cheng Mo said that he would invest all the remaining hundreds of thousands of dollars in his uncle to expand his business, his aunt's attitude has been more enthusiastic than that of Cheng Haoyang, not as polite as before, but not close, and he took the initiative to add hot water to Cheng Mo's cup in the afternoon and brought a snack.

Cheng Mo shook his head, "It's nothing, my teacher is looking for me, but I turned off my phone, so I called my uncle." โ€

"Then you hurry up and call back, just say what you want to eat in the future, and your aunt will definitely arrange your food well before the college entrance examination!"

Cheng Mo said "thank you", returned to his room, opened the box, and there were four mobile phones inside, one was Lin Zhinuo's, one was Penglai Mountain's, and one was his phone number in Europe, which he used to contact Nicholas, and the last one was his own IPone XI plus. In the past year or so, this mobile phone has been turned on a limited number of times, and Cheng Mo didn't want other things to interfere with his practice, except for reporting safety to his uncle, he didn't read any other information.

Of course, that is not the main reason, more importantly, there is another thought in his heart, that is, what Xie Minyun can do, he can also do, and the chaotic situation makes him feel uneasy and can't see the future clearly, which makes Cheng Mo not sure if he will return to Huaxia......

Cheng Mo pressed the boot, and the text messages were not read more than 2,000 times,+, Cheng Mo didn't have the desire to click in to see it, and directly dialed Mr. Shen's phone number, and Mr. Shen answered the phone after ringing three times, but Cheng Mo, who was standing in front of the windowsill, could imagine that Mr. Shen would definitely take a deep breath first when he pressed answer.

"Hey, Mr. Shen. Cheng Mo said softly into the microphone.

There was no answer on the other end of the phone, only the horn of the car was ringing, and after a while, Mr. Shen's quiet, warm and angry voice came from there, "Cheng Mo, are you at home? If you come down now, I will go downstairs to your house immediately." โ€

"Are you going to get off work now?" Cheng Mo asked.

"Are you still in the mood to care about this? Hurry up and figure out how to explain to me why you go to the United States as if you disappeared! If you give me an answer that I am not satisfied with, I will definitely punish you! I will punish you for writing a hundred ......essays."

Teacher Shen's tone was extremely stern, Cheng Mo only saw Teacher Shen angry because of Shen Mengjie's matter in Liu Dongqiang's office, even in school, she was never angry because of those paintings, but now Teacher Shen heard from the voice, Cheng Mo knew that Teacher Shen was really angry.

Cheng Mo's mood brightened, he looked at the Yuelu Mountain at sunset on the other side of the riverbank, and remembered that he had climbed the Alps alone, he carried his bags up the rocky ridge, the slopes were full of green moss and slender trees, and occasionally he could hear the cries of wild beasts.

Halfway up the mountain, the forest was covered with a white mist, which made him feel lost, as if swallowed up by thick clouds, and he could only climb aimlessly until he walked out of the boundless mist, and the sun suddenly jumped out of the sky, and the white mist became a dividing line, dividing the rolling mountains into earthly and mountaintops.

Cheng Mo stopped and looked into the distance, the mountains rose and fell in the clouds, it was so solemn and magnificent, Cheng Mo's mood at the moment was like breaking through the clouds and mist, glimpsing the awe-inspiring beauty of nature so pleasant and solemn.

He knew that Mr. Shen's kindness and care for him was worthy of his awe, but for the time being, he could only answer her with lies, Cheng Mo was a little uneasy because of lying for the first time, but he hoped that he would do this, so that Mr. Shen knew that he also cared about her, so Cheng Mo whispered: "Don't think about it! I just don't know what the outcome of the operation will be, and I don't know if I will have a chance to see you again, so instead of making you frightened and worried, it is better not to contact you from the beginning, so that you don't know my situation, so that you can leave some comfort!"

The other side of the phone fell silent again, only the sound of two people's breathing constantly running through the airwaves, this hazy silence is actually a wonderful thing.

I don't know how long it took before Shen Youyi spoke: "I'm here, you come down." โ€

Cheng Mo said "um", and was just about to hang up the phone, but heard Shen Youyi say, "Don't hang up the phone." โ€

Cheng Mo replied "Okay", walked to the door with his mobile phone, put the mobile phone on the shoe rack, and said in a slightly loud voice: "Auntie, I won't come back for dinner at night." โ€

The aunt came out of the room and asked, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Mo replied, "I made an appointment with a friend." โ€

"Let's go, it's okay to come back later!" the aunt waved her hand.

Cheng Mo nodded, put on his shoes and went downstairs, and when he walked out of the apartment, he saw Teacher Shen standing next to her mini, the setting sun was slanting over her, the car was flowing silently behind her, and the crowd seemed to be still, only the breeze blew her long hair.

Cheng Mo felt his heartbeat burning, he suppressed his urge to run, and slowly walked in the direction of Teacher Shen. And Shen Youyi stood in the sunset and waited quietly until the distance between the two people completely disappeared.

Everything around seemed to have disappeared, Shen Youyi hugged Cheng Mo tightly and said, "Next time, don't suddenly disappear, even if you want to leave, you can't go where I can't find it." โ€
