I really don't want to be a teacher

The man helped the old man put the coat he had taken off on one side of the table, and held the new clothes in his hand. Seeing the old man coughing again, he couldn't help asking again with concern,

The old man turned around, stretched out his hand, put on one sleeve of the thick clothes, coughed again, waved his hand,

"...No need, no need..."

Panting, the old man hunched over and was still wearing thick clothes that had just been put on one sleeve. He turned around slowly, looked to the side, raised his legs with great effort, and hesitated.

"...Old man, you want to drink water, right? Please try on your clothes here, old man, and I'll get you a water glass."

Seeing this, the man hurriedly said, and after putting his clothes on the old man, he walked to the side,

"...Thank you, thank you...ahem..."

Panting for breath, the old man coughed again, raised his other hand with difficulty, and managed to put on the thick clothes,

"...Thank you... The water in this glass is cold. Is there any hot water here? I'll add some hot water to you, old man."

"...in the kettle, there should be some in the boiling kettle."

The old man took a breath, stretched out his hand, and couldn't help supporting the table next to him.

"...Old man, here... are you okay..."

The man walked back with a water glass, handed the water glass to the old man, and quickly reached out to help the old man.

The old man shook his head, picked up the teacup, coughed, took two sips, and managed to catch his breath.

"...Old man, what are you soaking in this cup?"

The man reached out to take the teacup, looked at it, and put it on the side table.

"Some herbs..."

The old man said, straightened his stooped body a little bit, and adjusted the thick clothes he had just put on.

"...Old man, do you still look good in your clothes?"

The man nodded and didn't care about the herbs in the cup anymore. He looked at the old man's clothes and asked with a smile,

"...It's pretty good, and it's warm."

The old man looked down at the clothes on his body, nodded again, and replied with a smile,

"... How much is it, you stand here and I'll get it for you."

"...You don't need money, you just need to wear comfortable clothes, old man."

The old man raised his head, looked at the man and asked again,

The man smiled and said quickly,

As he spoke, he looked out of the house again,

"...Old man, it's already noon, my wife is still in the house waiting to go back to eat, I won't be here soon, come back next time..."

"...You can just wear this clothes if it suits you... By the way, I brought you some oranges and put them on the table. You have a cough, so you can eat to moisten your throat..."

The man turned around, said a few words to the old man quickly, walked out of the house, and hurried out of the yard,

"...Xu Yong..."

The old man staggered a little, bent his waist, turned around, held on to the half-open wooden door, raised his head, and called out to the man again,

The man quickly walked out of the yard, just waved his hand at the old man, and walked away.

The old man watched the man go away, then slowly lowered his head, looked at the clothes he was wearing, smiled and shook his head again, without making a sound.

Standing again by the door, the old man raised his head, looked out of the house, turned around again, staggered and moved his feet, and pulled the half-open wooden door aside.

"...cough cough...cough cough cough..."

Opening the door, the old man couldn't help but clenched the door tightly, bowed his waist, coughed a few more times, and managed to catch his breath. He moved his feet again, and staggered towards the house.

……

beside the village road,

Watching the man leave in a hurry, Lian Ge glanced at the old man again. The two figures standing in front of the old man's house paused for a moment.

Lian Ge turned around and walked towards the yard.

……

"...I waited to see the celestial master. The celestial master came, but I couldn't meet him far away. I also ask the celestial master to forgive me."

Approaching the open door, the two figures standing beside the door, followed closely by the two ghost messengers, bowed to Lian Ge.

Turning his gaze to the two ghost messengers, Lian Ge nodded,

Looking away again, he looked into the room. He was staggering towards the old man who was walking in the room, and reached out and knocked lightly on the open wooden door.

"Dong dong..."

The two ghost messengers bowed to the side of the yard and backed away a little respectfully.

The old man in the room stopped when he heard the knock on the door, and turned around slowly.

"you are?"

Turning his somewhat cloudy gaze, the old man sized up Lian Ge, moved his feet, staggered a little, walked back to the door, and asked aloud,

"I'm a passing tourist. I'm a little thirsty when I pass by here. I wonder if the old man can give me a bowl of water."

Smiling slightly, Lian Ge looked at the old man and said something aloud.

Hearing the sound, the old man turned his eyes again, looked at Lian Ge, followed by a smile gradually appearing on his face,

"...It's such a joy to have friends coming from afar...Young man, come in."

The old man smiled and said aloud, stepped aside,

"Thank you, sir."

After thanking him, Lian Ge moved his foot and walked into the room.

"...No thanks, no thanks...Be convenient for others, convenient for yourself."

The old man laughed, waved his hands again, turned around, and walked into the house.

……

In the house, the ground is the same as in the yard, nothing has been paved, it is just a bit of compacted mud, but it is cleaned up very clean.

On the roof, you can see the black tiles of the beams, and there is a wire on the beams, and an incandescent lamp is attached to the wires.

Under the incandescent lamp, the furnishings in the whole room are very simple,

On the wall, the plaster had peeled off and looked a little mottled, and the few paintings pasted on it had also turned yellow and lost some of their color.

Against the side wall, there is a table with a faded stool. On the table, some books are piled up, some old books are spread out, and a pen is placed on the book.

The clothes that the old man changed before were placed on the pile of books.

Against the wall in the inner room, there is a cabinet with a pair of bowls and chopsticks. It seems that the old man was eating before. There are doors on both sides of the wall, which seem to lead to the backyard.

After glancing at the room, Lian Ge turned his gaze to the old man,

After the old man turned around, he staggered a little, moved his feet, and walked to the cabinet first,

There was a kettle next to the cabinet. The old man picked up the kettle, bent his back, and turned around.

"...Young man, sit down for a while, there is no hot water in this kettle, I'll go boil some... Cough cough, cough cough..."

The old man held the water bottle, said something, and couldn't help coughing again,

"Excuse me, old sir."

Looking at the old man and saying something, Lian Ge used his mana and waved lightly at the old man's hand,

Immediately afterwards, the old man stopped coughing, took a breath, and waved towards Lian Ge,

"...Don't bother, don't bother...Young man, sit down for a while, wait for a while..."

The old man said, carrying the kettle, stood up again, turned around, walked to the table next to him, picked up the coat he had changed before, turned around again, staggered, and walked towards the backyard go away.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the old man again,

The old man who staggered and moved his feet to the backyard had gray hair and loose skin on his face.

On the dry and wrinkled hands, some white ash that could not be washed off remained between the deformed fingers of the old man.

And there was a bruise on the back of the old man's exposed neck.

Chapter 570 Teacher

"...By the way, young man, have you had lunch yet..."

Looking at the bruise on the back of the old man's neck, Lian Ge paused,

And the old man who was staggering and moving his feet towards the backyard stopped his feet again, turned around and smiled, and asked Lian Ge,

"...If you don't mind, young man, the water is just about to be boiled here, so let me serve you a bowl of noodles."

"Thank you, sir."

Lian Ge looked at the old man and replied with a smile.

"...Everyone who comes is a guest. You sit down for a while, young man, it will take more than ten minutes."

The old man waved his hand, then turned around and walked towards the backyard.

……

Seeing the old man walk into the backyard, Lian Ge turned his gaze away, and then looked at the two ghost messengers standing in the yard outside the house,

Looking away, Lian Ge looked at the somewhat empty main room again, and didn't say much, and the room became quiet again.

There were some gusts of wind blowing the rustling of bamboos by the yard, and in the backyard, the old man had already lit a fire, and the firewood crackled from time to time.

……

"...teacher, teacher..."

Not long after the old man entered the backyard, a crisp shout followed a burst of brisk footsteps, approaching outside the house,

A figure, shouting, stepped over the threshold and broke into the main room,

Standing at the side, Lian Ge turned his gaze to the person who came,

It was before, before entering this village, the little girl on the terraced fields on the hill,

The little girl was still wearing the padded jacket, the clothes were stained with mud, and her red hands were also stained with dust.

After running into the main room, he was turning his head, looking left and right, as if he was doing something,

After seeing Lian Ge, there was some doubt in his eyes again,

"...Big brother, who are you, my teacher, teacher Xun..."

Looking up, the little girl looked at Lian Ge and asked,

Facing the little girl, Lian Ge smiled slightly, then turned his gaze to the door leading to the backyard,

At this time, the old man seemed to have heard the movement outside the house, moved his feet, and walked out from the backyard.

The old man had already replaced the new clothes before, and he was wearing the previous cotton padded jacket, with a large patch on the side of the padded jacket.

It seems that it was because of Lian Ge's magic power before, or because of other reasons. Although the old man still staggered a little, he was much lighter than before.

"...Xiaoya, why did you come here so early?"

With a smile on his face, the old man walked back into the main room and greeted the little girl.

"... Teacher, didn't you say that you want us to come over early this afternoon? I came back from the field."

The little girl also saw the old man, she was a little happy, ran over, and said crisply to the old man,

Hearing the sound, the old man looked out of the house with a smile on his face, then squatted down in front of the little girl, and lightly brushed the dirt on the little girl's cotton coat with his hands,

"Then you came here so early, did you have lunch?"

"……Um……"

The little girl hesitated and said nothing,
