I really don't want to be a teacher

Lian Ge raised his hand, took a mouthful of grapefruit, heard the sound, smiled slightly,

"It's pretty sweet."

After saying a few words, he glanced at the grapefruit tree again, Lian Ge turned around, and continued walking in the direction of the river.

The little white mouse squatted on Lian Ge's shoulder, holding the pomelo, and started to fight.

……

Along the upper reaches of the river, one person and one mouse stepped on the dead branches and rotten leaves under the forest, walking forward,

The rising sun gradually climbed into the sky, and through the dense branches and leaves in the mountains and forests, some dappled sunlight swayed down.

Hills and hills gradually approached in front of them, and then receded behind them.

When the sun in the sky is covered by clouds again,

After turning over the top of a hill, one person and one mouse stepped out of the forest.

……

On the top of the hill, there is a dense forest with luxuriant branches and leaves behind. The singing of insects and birds is mixed with the sound of swaying branches and leaves, lingering in the ears with the breeze,

In front of you is a lake with a wide surface. On the edge of the lake, there is an embankment made of cement bricks. Along the sides of the spacious embankment, there are some vendors, either pushing carts, selling some seasonal fruits, or setting up stalls , selling some fishing gear, and besides, there are scattered houses, restaurants, or teahouses,

On the closer shore of the lake, some people are moving stools, sitting on the shore, fishing,

Farther away, there seems to be a barbecue shop, some customers are sitting by the lake, around the oven, grilling,

The sound of words was mixed with the swaying of branches and leaves on all sides, the sound of water flowing, and the chirping of insects and birds.

"Chirp..."

A few birds jumped up from the dense forest behind Lian Ge, and headed towards the lake.

……

"...Throwing the rod like this... My son is so smart..."

"...Dad, how long do we have to wait..."

"After fishing for a while, let's go find my mother, okay?"

……

Looking at the people under the hill, beside the lake, or fishing, or eating barbecue, or walking, listening to the mixed voices,

Lian Ge moved away and walked down the mountain.

On the shoulders, the little white mouse also stood with its forelimbs, turned its head, and looked around.

……

"...watermelon, watermelon..."

"...Brother, do you want to buy a fishing rod and bait... There are a lot of fish in this reservoir. The customer who bought a fishing rod from me yesterday caught a big fish. That guy..."

"...Sir, why don't you go into the store and have a look, the charcoal barbecue by the reservoir..."

The sound of hawking mixed with the sound of words sounded, and was carried away by the cool breeze by the lake. On the embankment, there was some noise but not loud.

Walking down the hillside, Lian Ge walked along the embankment,

Beside, fishermen, vendors, passers-by, and some restaurants kept passing by.

"...What, did you catch any fish?"

"Not yet, how long has it been..."

"...Come, have a bite of grilled chicken wings."

A man sits on a bench on the shore, fishing,

A woman came back with two skewers, talking to the man.

……

"... You have to be patient when fishing, you understand?"

"Got it... Dad, when are we going to eat?"

A man with a child, sitting on two small stools, fishing,

The man is holding a big fishing rod, the child is holding a small fishing rod,

The man picked up the water glass to drink from time to time, and the child was sleepy and yawned from time to time.

……

Walking, Lian Ge watched, listened,

The breeze blows from time to time, the branches and leaves in the distant mountains and forests sway gently, and there are some waves on the nearby lake.

"...Let me tell you, this reservoir is just a few years old."

Not far from the lake, under a tree by the embankment, an old man played chess with a middle-aged man.

"...Back then, there was a flood around here and some villages were flooded,"

The old man turned his head, looked at the vast water surface of the reservoir, and said,

"...The most serious Dahe Village is just downstream of this river, on the bank of that river.

It was still night, and the entire village was flooded overnight. Many people in the village were probably still asleep and drowned before they could react. "

"Then, are there any survivors in that village?"

The middle-aged man made a move and turned his head to look at the water.

"...one lived, and one lived in the whole village...It was said that that night, the villagers who reacted ran to the mountain next to the village...but that person couldn't escape the flood, and it was raining heavily At night, running up all the way, people disappeared all the way, either they fell to the ground and did not get up again, or they were hit by falling rocks from the mountain, they were not killed, they were pressed and could not move, so they just He could just watch the flood rising up and over his head bit by bit, even if he didn’t hold it down and was hit on his leg, he could only climb up on the ground... But how could that person run past the flood.”

"...Only one person ran to the top of the mountain?"

The middle-aged man was silent for a while, looking at the lake, he couldn't help asking.

"That's not... There are four people in total on the top of the mountain, one old man, two middle-aged men, and a little girl."

The old man withdrew his gaze, made another move, shook his head, and said,

"The one who survived was one of the middle-aged people?" The middle-aged man looked at the old man and asked,

"...It's that little girl." The old man shook his head, and then said,

"How did she..."

"When those four people reached the top of the mountain, the flood flooded a little below the top of the mountain,"

The old man looked at the lake and said,

"...the water has flooded there. Of course there is no food to be found on the mountain. When we first ran up the mountain, most households brought food, but when we ran all the way, people were left behind. Who cares about it?" Food... When we got to the top of the mountain, only the old man had something to eat... When these people reacted, they knew that the food was not enough.

In order to grab food, he killed a middle-aged man that day..."

"...Then, that girl..."

The old man turned his head and glanced at the middle-aged man who was somewhat puzzled.

"...But after that, the old man and the middle-aged man didn't touch the little food, and gave it all to the little girl... Maybe they thought that the little food couldn't live for the two of them, but the little girl... ..."

"At that time, transportation and communication were not well developed. Waiting for a little bit of search and rescue to get there, when those people were found, the old man was gone, the middle-aged man was already fainted, and the little girl was almost gone..."

"...After that, a reservoir was built here."

"...This kind of thing, it won't happen now, it won't happen again..."

"Grandpa, how do you know this so well?"

"...Back then, my daughter was considered half of Dahe Village. Two days after that, my daughter was going to get married."

Chapter 390 Lively

On the bank of the embankment, Lian Ge glanced under the tree, listening to the voice lingering in his ears along with the breeze,

His eyes paused, and he smiled slightly. Lian Ge turned around again and walked towards the front.

"...Hey, boy, did you secretly change my chess pieces while I was talking? Don't think I'm old, old man, I have a good memory."

"Old man, it's obvious that you are playing tricks. While I was listening to you, you changed my chess pieces."

"...What do you mean I changed your chess pieces...Forget it, this game is repeated, if you still do the same in the next game, old man, I will win..."

……

"...Stop fishing, Dad."

"Stop fishing, I think my precious son is about to fall asleep. Let's go and eat."

"...Eat, eat, eat..."

……

Along the embankment, one person and one mouse gradually drifted away, and behind them, voices gradually faded away.

……

Along the river, Lian Ge watched the scene along the way while walking,

The little white mouse also stood on its forelimbs, took a bite of the unfinished grapefruit from time to time, looked around,

Above the head, the sun that climbed into the sky gradually began to slant westward, and by the river, the shadows of a man and a mouse reflected on the river bank gradually elongated.

……

The setting sun is slanting to the west, gradually being blocked by distant hills,

The sky is getting darker, and only the sunset is reflected in the west.

The evening glow is swaying towards the river surface, under the afterglow, the river surface reflects the evening glow, the setting sun,

The river gradually narrowed, and after passing an old bridge, Lian Ge stepped onto the winding road connected by bridges.

The winding road either passes through the hills, or goes around the mountainside, extending towards the distance,

On the road, some vehicles pass by and pedestrians pass by from time to time.

Along this somewhat winding road, Lian Ge moved his feet and continued to walk forward.

……

"... buzz, buzz..."

The phone vibrated, took out the phone, looked at it, Lian Ge smiled slightly, connected the phone,

Immediately afterwards, on the other end of the video call, the screen emerged with some words,

"...Gu Xiaoying, just eat when you eat, and play with your mobile phone. I don't think you should eat. I still have two old mobile phones with me. You can eat them."

First came Gu's mother's voice,

"...Then I don't think she can eat it. If she has this ability to digest, she can be regarded as contributing to the national scientific research."

Immediately afterwards, Gu Hanguo's voice also sounded,

"...Lian Ge, look, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are bullying me because of your absence..."

On the other end of the video call, Gu Xiaoying's figure appeared,

Looking at Gu Xiaoying and hearing the words, Lian Ge smiled and didn't answer.

"...Little Song?"

On the other end of the phone, Gu's mother's voice rang out, followed by Gu's mother appearing on the other end of the video call,

"Master," Lian Ge called out with a smile,

"...Why is it so late, I haven't found a place to stay yet? Have you had dinner yet?"

Looking at the other end of the phone, Mother Gu asked,

"Squeak, squeak..."

On Lian Ge's shoulder, the squatting little white mouse yelled twice, then lowered its head and gnawed the grapefruit it was holding.

Hearing the sound, Lian Ge turned his eyes to look at the little white mouse, smiled slightly,
