Chapter 614
Shan Guo shrinks back and wraps the ragged cotton jacket around her body a little tighter.

It was very cold in the deep mountains in the early morning, and the cloth jacket on her body could not bring her any warmth, but she had to go to the mountains early in the morning, and there was no food left at home.

She took out a piece of hardened dry food from her bosom, knelt down and dipped it in the stream water, and swallowed it with difficulty.

Her head was a little itchy. She scratched it and touched the congealed hair. She wet her hands and rubbed it, which made it much more pleasing to the eye.

This creek is the passing point for Wangjiatun to enter the mountain. The water quality is very good. Shanguo will drink water here to freshen up when passing by.

After eating the dry food, she stood up straight and continued to set off.

You can't see anything unusual when you squat down, but when you stand up and take a few steps, you can clearly see that something is wrong with her—her legs are lame.

Her legs were not born lame.When I was a child, I climbed the woods to dig out bird eggs, and accidentally fell down and broke my leg. The family was poor and had no money for medical treatment, so my father had to cut two boards to fix it.

The broken bones healed without being reattached, so she was crippled.

She searched earnestly to see where there were suitable wild vegetables that would not be astringent to pick.

She didn't expect much to catch some pheasants and hares, her legs really couldn't keep up with that speed.

"Mushrooms!" Soon, the mountain fruits will be harvested. In fact, living in the mountains, although life is a bit difficult, as long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, you will not die of hunger.

She was in the joy of harvest when suddenly there was a big movement in front of her.

Danger!It's a big thing!

Shan Guo's first reaction was to run away, and his second reaction was to lie down and play dead, trying to escape his life.

She held her breath, and decided in her heart that no matter how much this thing tossed herself, she would not move.

"Hey, wake up, what's wrong with you, wake up!" A clear and gentle voice sounded in my ear.

Shan Guo opened his eyes and looked at the other party.

The morning sun has slowly risen, leaving mottled spots of light in the forest through the dense leaves.

Shan Guo, who was lying on the ground, looked at the figure under the backlight, and her sharp and stern cheeks made her stunned.

This person was Yi Shuihan who entered the mountain for the first time, and his planned destination this time was Wangjiatun, and he turned here after asking passers-by.

Unexpectedly, on the way, I saw a ten-year-old girl lying on the ground.

His feet were numb from the cold in the mountains in the depths of winter, and he wouldn't be frostbitten if he lay here!
Seeing the girl opened her eyes, Yi Shuihan asked anxiously, "Are you okay, why are you lying on the ground?"

Shan Guo was embarrassed to say that he thought he had encountered a wild animal in the mountains, so he patted his body and climbed up with difficulty.

"It's all right, I accidentally slipped and fell, where are you going?" Shan Guo looked at Yi Shuihan curiously, it's hard to see outsiders in this remote place.

Yi Shuihan helped her up, said with a smile, "I'm going to Wangjiatun."

"Huh?" Shan Guo looked at him suspiciously and said, "I live over there, what are you doing?"

"What a coincidence!" Yi Shuihan laughed, "I used to be a teacher."

Shan Guo was suddenly in awe. Although she hadn't gone to school in the past two years, she knew that the teachers who came to teach at the school were kind-hearted people.

In fact, teaching in her place is basically unpaid, and every household respects these foreign teachers.

"I'll take you there, I just want to go back too." Shan Guo smiled sweetly.

"Okay, that's troublesome." Yi Shuihan nodded and said.

After she took a few steps, Yi Shuihan realized that there was something wrong with her legs.

Looking at the green ragged cotton jacket she was wrapped in and her red nose from the cold, Yi Shuihan couldn't help feeling a little sad.

If he didn't go to this mountain village to take a look, it was hard for him to imagine such a poor place in China.

This strengthened his determination to contribute to these poor families in his own way.

"Sister, what's your name?" Yi Shuihan walked side by side with her and asked with a smile.

Shan Guo smiled and replied: "My Shan Guo, Wang Shan Guo!"

"Hi Shanguo, nice to meet you!" Yi Shuihan smiled.

Shan Guo responded with a smile: "I am happy to replace the brothers and sisters in the village. They finally have a new teacher."

A child from a poor family has long been in charge of the family. In Yi Shuihan's view, even though she is only a teenager, she is very mature.

Speaking of new teachers, Yi Shuihan just happened to know the school in this small mountain village.

"Is there a shortage of teachers in your school?" Yi Shuihan asked.

Shan Guo nodded and said: "Well, only the old principal and Teacher Chen, the other teachers left after staying for a while..."

Yi Shuihan can understand this situation, and the teachers who can persevere here are all worthy of respect. He only hopes that during his time here, he can change this place...

Following Shan Guo's slow pace, he gradually walked from the mountain to the entrance of the village.

His first impression of this remote mountainous village was that it was outdated.

Gray and white gravel roads, exposed rusty water pipes, laundry tables built with white bricks and cement slabs, houses with stuccoed wooden piles, black tiles made of clay, and bare trees without leaves , the picture presented to people is old and stale.

This scene may be novel and interesting to people who live in big cities, but to people who live here, it is only a symbol of poverty.

"Guoguo, you're back!"

"Shan Guo, have you gained anything from entering the mountain this time?"

"Shan Guo, my chicken has laid an egg, take it back and eat it!"

Yi Shuihan went to the mountain early, it was only before eight o'clock, but almost every household was already up.

Seeing Shan Guo coming back from the mountains, the people in the village greeted her with smiles, and the friendly and simple smiling faces were particularly moving.

Many people also cast curious eyes on Yi Shuihan. For people in this small village, it is extremely difficult for them to see outsiders.

"Shan Guo, who is this person behind you?" Someone asked suspiciously.

Shan Guo smiled and said: "It's the teacher who came here to teach. I met him in the mountains and I will guide him."

"Oh, hello teacher, come and rest at home!"

"Hello, teacher, thank you for your hard work."

"It's the teacher, old man, I thank you, the poor and remote places have worked hard for you."

Everyone was in awe and greeted Yi Shuihan with the most friendly attitude.

Yi Shuihan responded to them one by one with a smile. From their smiles, he saw the villagers' friendliness and gentleness, as well as their desire and respect for knowledge.

Facing their sincere smiles and words of thanks, Yi Shuihan felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was much heavier.

"Shan Guo, where are you going?" When passing by a house, a pregnant young woman with a big belly asked with a smile.

Although she was dressed in shabby clothes, Yi Shuihan still saw the maternal Guan Hui and full of happiness from her face.

"Auntie, I'm going to school, shall I lead the way for the teacher?" Shan Guo smiled.

"Oh, teacher, let's go." The young woman said with a friendly smile at Yi Shuihan, then waved her hand.
