The Rebirth of the Portable Space The Red Age

Two months later, Du Xuanjin visited all the places she wanted to go, and there were some local specialties and gadgets in the empty house.Three days later, Du Xuanjin walked into the last stop of her life, a remote mountain village in a certain southwest province.After getting out of the bullock cart, I thanked the man who drove the cart and walked for half an hour before arriving at the entrance of the village.

Daliushu Village is the mountain village where Du Xuanjin came to for the first time as a teaching volunteer. It is surrounded by mountains, with rugged mountain roads and inconvenient transportation. The villagers have lived here for generations, and very few people have left the mountains. The whole village is very poor and backward.When Du Xuanjin first came here eight years ago, the village didn't even have electricity, and the villagers still lived a primitive self-sufficient life, knowing little about the outside world.But although the life here is poor, the folk customs are simple and honest, and they show great curiosity and enthusiasm for the first college students who come here.Especially the children, who are very curious and longing for the outside world. Du Xuanjin has lived here as a support teacher for about nine months, and did not leave until the new teacher came here.After leaving here, Du Xuanjin posted the current situation here and the children's desire for the outside world on the Internet, which aroused widespread attention and support from the outside world.Later, when I contacted the old village head by letter, the old village head told her that a company bought the local products there and funded several nearby villages to build roads together. Now the village has electricity, TV, and children can go to school. , in addition to telling her the good news, along with the letter came all kinds of mountain goods from the villagers.It is also from this time that Du Xuanjin will go to some remote mountainous areas to support education every one or two years after this time, and help those children who cannot afford to go to school.

Walking to the entrance of the village, Du Xuanjin took out the quilts, oil, salt and rice noodles, books and stationery bought for the children, and looked at her watch. The children were probably waiting for more than half an hour. School is over, let's wait for them here after school.Otherwise, taking these things by yourself will arouse suspicion.

About four or ten minutes later, the bell rang for the end of get out of class. From a distance, I saw a dark, thin and thin boy rushing out of the school gate first, wiping the snot with his arm while running, which made Du Xuanjin dumbfounded.When the little boy ran to the entrance of the village, he saw a lot of things on the ground, especially a lot of new schoolbags. His eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Gouba, come and see, there are so many new schoolbags falling from the sky." Du Xuanjin ignored it completely, and didn't see a living person standing here at all.

"Where is it, snotty baby, where is the schoolbag?" Then there was chatter, a group of children ran over and screamed non-stop when they saw the schoolbag, and also completely ignored Du Xuanjin. [

Everyone ran to the schoolbag only to find that there was still a big living person standing there, so they all became honest, Nuonuo remained silent.Du Xuanjin looked at these children and said with a smile, "Each person has a schoolbag, a stationery box, and a set of books, but you are not allowed to grab them. Also, whoever calls the old village chief over, I will give him an extra pencil." Before the words fell, the boys who shouted the most happily shouted "I'll go, I'll go, I'll run fast", and in a flash, 5 or 6 boys disappeared, and the rest were chattering Say this is good, I want this, which one is better, which one I want.Looking at the cheerful children, Du Xuanjin felt that happiness might be as simple as that.

A few minutes later, five or six boys ran back, followed by an old man with gray hair in his 5s, who was not the old village chief.Before Du Xuanjin could speak, the old village head shouted, "Is that Du girl?".It turned out that one of the children who went to call the old village head had seen photos taken by Du Xuanjin when he was teaching in this branch. Du Xuanjin has not changed much in these years. , the old village head thought, it must be Du Xuanjin.

"Old village chief, it's me." Du Xuanjin walked up to the old village chief and said affectionately, shaking the old village chief's arm.

"Why don't you tell us in advance, so I can send someone to pick you up, you're exhausted, girl," the old village head blamed.Although he hadn't seen each other for several years, and he wasn't unfamiliar at all, it was because Du Xuanjin impressed him so much, she was so kind, and he felt pity for this poor girl. When she was teaching, Du Xuanjin lived and ate at the old village head's house.In the past few years, Du Xuanjin would also remit money to the old village chief's house every Chinese New Year, and the old village chief would mail her some mountain products from time to time.

"Why do you bring so many things? You, you are such a big man, you have to learn to live economically." The old village head walked to the front and saw a lot of things in front of him and said to Du Xuanjin, looking at the chattering group next to him, he was very excited The leather children waved their hands, "Go home and ask the adults at home to pick up the things." Before the words were finished, a group of children ran away coaxing away with the schoolbags and stationery they had chosen.

"Son, why are you here at this time, are you busy with work?" Seeing the children running away, the old village head asked.

"I want to come out and have a look, relax, I quit my job, this time I plan to teach here for a while." Du Xuanjin replied after consideration.She didn't want to tell the old village head about her illness to make them worry, and she didn't want to cause them any trouble. She just left here when she couldn't hold on anymore.

"Okay, I'm still living at home this time. Your aunt misses you every day. She said that you are too old to have a family, and you still send money to your family. You don't know how to live at all. Your aunt keeps all the money you post for you. , Said that I will buy you a dowry in the future." The old village head knew that Du Xuanjin was an orphan, and the whole family liked her very much, so he always regarded her as his own child.

After a while, a group of people came over talking and laughing. Many people still remembered Du Xuanjin when they saw her. When they were supporting teachers, they often gave literacy classes to these fellow villagers.The mountain village is very small, with a total of 4 to 50 households. A family has two thick quilts, four thick cotton clothes, four pairs of new cotton shoes, two buckets of peanut oil, two bags of rice, one bag of flour, and some books on farming and planting. .After sharing the things, they all invited Du Xuanjin to their home for dinner, but the old village chief refused with a smile and scolding on her behalf.

On the way back to the village, Du Xuanjin told the villagers that she had some commonly used medicines in her store. If anyone in the village had a cold, fever and diarrhea, they would go to get them from her, and they would not distribute them to them, lest they accidentally take the medicine and spoil it.The villagers all knew that Xuanjin had a little research on medical skills, so they all agreed with a smile.

When I arrived at the old village head's house, the village head's mother had already started preparing lunch, probably because of what the grandson who ran back earlier said.When she saw Xuanjin, she didn't let go, and said she was even more beautiful.While talking, a small head leaked from the kitchen and was secretly looking at Du Xuanjin. Xuanjin looked up and saw that it was the first snotty baby who ran out. Only then did she know that the dripping nose baby is the grandson of the village elder.

Du Xuanjin waved to Snot Baby, and the little boy came over timidly, and asked, "Beautiful sister, is the schoolbag really for me?", Du Xuanjin smiled triumphantly when she heard the name Snot Baby, she was still very young. Not even children know that they are beautiful and call themselves sisters, children are the most honest.When she was in school, Du Xuanjin was known as a cold beauty, but everyone who knew her knew that she was a person who yearned for warmth. People treated her well and wanted to repay her very much. She was extremely simple. Although she was indifferent, she was not indifferent.

Satisfaction is self-satisfaction, Du Xuanjin still has to correct the name of Snot Baby, "Do you know if you want to call me Mr. Du or Auntie in the future?" As she spoke, she took out a handful of candies from her schoolbag and handed Snot Baby, getting a big smile.Then Snot Baby took Du Xuanjin's hand and ran into her room, pulled out a large cardboard box from under the bed, introduced her baby to Du Xuanjin, and promised that Xuanjin could pick any one.

It was during lunch that I saw the village head's son and wife, brother Wang and sister-in-law Wang.They were just married when Du Xuanjin came here for the first time, and they were very happy to see Du Xuanjin suddenly.In the past few years, with Xuanjin's support, coupled with the fact that the whole family is hardworking and capable, life is very good.During the meal, some fellow villagers came one after another, and they all came to add food. You will send a chicken stewed with mushrooms, and I will send a braised fish. Looking at the rich and authentic farm meals on the table, I feel the hospitality of the villagers. , Du Xuanjin felt more and more that it was right for her to come here again.

In fact, what she didn't know was that the villagers were even more grateful to Du Xuanjin. At that time, due to Du Xuanjin's publicity and running around, this remote mountain village attracted the attention of the outside world, and also found a way for the village to get rich. A few years ago, the village was connected. Electricity, bought a TV and installed a telephone, children can go to school at their doorstep, and everyone's life is gradually getting richer.Several of Du Xuanjin's teaching support students had already been admitted to the best high schools in the county. It is said that they all had good grades and would definitely be admitted to college in the future. This small mountain village is about to produce a few college students.

Looking at the enthusiastic folks, looking at the unspoiled lush green hills and gurgling mountain streams in the distance, Du Xuanjin decided to spend the rest of her days here.Du Xuanjin lived a fulfilling life in the days to come. She usually gave classes to the children, showed the villagers minor ailments when she was sick, all the medicines were free, told the villagers about the outside world, and sometimes went with the village elder. Planting the land and harvesting crops, although it is not enough to add to the chaos, but I feel the hardship of labor and the joy of harvest.During weekend breaks, I follow Snot Boy and his group of little kids to run around all over the mountain, and follow them to learn to pick wild fruits, dig wild vegetables, dig out bird eggs, and fish.When I am alone, I go into the space, read books, write and write, practice painting, and live an extremely fulfilling life.Even the nagging of the village chief's mother, "it's time to find a partner" from time to time, became more pleasant.

During the long holidays, I gradually gave the daily necessities and books I purchased to other remote and backward mountain villages nearby, and then returned to Daliushu Village to continue teaching.After living like this for more than two years, even Xuanjin herself finds it unbelievable, but her recently aching heart tells her that her days are really numbered and it's time to leave here, she doesn't want the folks to know own illness.

It was the weekend. During dinner, Du Xuanjin told the village elder's family her decision, and lied to them that she planned to go abroad for a few years and would leave here in a few days.Du Xuanjin cried as soon as she finished talking about Snot Baby, and now Snot Baby can no longer be called Snot Baby, because now he no longer wipes his nose with his arm, he is not so mischievous, but a very clean and smart child.In the past two years, Du Xuanjin has established a deep relationship with the children in the village, making up for the bleakness of her childhood.

Although reluctant, the village elder and the others still supported Xuanjin's decision.Because they felt that such a beautiful, intelligent and capable girl could not stay in the mountain village all her life, and the wider and more exciting world outside was more suitable for her development.How did they know that Du Xuanjin would not want to live here for the rest of her life if possible. [

In the last few days, I took out the extra medicines in the space, recorded the symptoms and dosage of the medicines in detail one by one, and handed them to Mrs. Wang.As for other daily necessities, they were too large to be taken out suddenly and attracted attention, so they had to be sent to other mountain villages in the future.He left his last [-] cash to the old village head, and told them to build the mountain road out of the mountain, and then said goodbye to the villagers one by one.In the early morning of the next day, I took the big bags and small bags of local specialties sent by the villagers, got into the ox cart of the village head uncle, and quietly left the small mountain village where I spent the happiest time.

Shennongjia is the destination of life that Du Xuanjin chose for herself.It is said that there are beautiful and ancient legends and simple and mysterious folk customs here. Man and nature together constitute the original alpine ecological cultural circle in the Chinese mainland.Looking at the virgin forest stretching as far as the eye can see, the vigorous and straight firs, the simple and fragrant rock cypresses, the graceful and luxurious spinosa, the graceful dove tree, and the exclusive hemlock fir, with luxuriant branches and leaves covering the sky and the sun, Du Xuanjin's spirit Can't help shaking.Du Xuanjin didn't follow the tour guide's travel route, and wondered if she would also come to experience the real wild life.In the next few days, Du Xuanjin saw majestic canyons, beautiful lakes, flowing springs and waterfalls, and clouds and Buddha lights.Looking at the primitive prehistoric appearance, admiring the green and beautiful wild scenery, savoring the charm of Shennong culture, and exploring the mystery handed down by the savages, Du Xuanjin felt that her life had come to a perfect end.Feeling the severe pain in her chest, "It really can't be done, it's a pity that all the items that have not been given away have not been given away." Du Xuanjin entered the space at the last moment of losing consciousness, and she couldn't let herself be exposed to the wilderness and become food for wild beasts .
