mountain snow

It was dark and Yue Sheng didn't come back, but a group of human children came in the yard, chattering around me, as if I was a monkey and they were on a spring outing.

Glasses drove them into a room, turned on the lights for them, and ordered them to take out their homework and write it.

The boss of a girl with shofar braids was reluctant, shaking her head and asking, "Mr. Yue is not here, I don't want to do my homework anymore."

"Aren't I a teacher?" He waved his glasses with a big hand, "Little brat, stop talking nonsense and ask me if you don't know it!"

I heard the key word from this conversation - Mr. Yue.

Is Yue Sheng a teacher?But he is so tall, with such sharp features, cool and ruthless, like a steep cliff and black thorns.I thought he was a soldier.

Frightened by the glasses, the children pouted and stared, but finally calmed down and began to do their homework under the light.

Only then did the glasses close the door, and said to me: "They are all students of Brother Sheng, and the parents at home don't care, Brother Sheng will let them do their homework every night."

"Are you a teacher too?" I asked.

I don't know if it's because of the snow, but the night sky is very bright, and the full moon hangs high in the sky, illuminating the surrounding snow.

"Hey, can't you tell?" The glasses were unhappy, "Of course I'm a teacher!"

I size him up.He has taken off that funny wool cap, his eyes behind the lenses are a bit small, his lips are thick, and he is about 20 years old, which is probably too ordinary for a human being.

Glasses told me while cutting the dried peppers, his name is Huang Xiaoye, and like his brother Sheng, he is a teacher in the village. This village is called Bieyue Village. It is on the border, far away from the city. The mountains are steep, and it takes half a day to go to the nearest town one way.

There are almost no outsiders in the village, and occasionally soldiers from the border guards come to patrol. Once young people leave, they will never come back in this life.Huang Xiaoye was an exception. He went out to study in high school. It is said that he could have stayed in the city to work, but he cared about his hometown and insisted on returning to be a teacher.

"Am I great?" Huang Xiaoye raised his eyebrows at me triumphantly.

I'm out of shape, and I'm not good at complimenting others hypocritically. I didn't think he was so great, so I shook my head bluntly.

Huang Xiaoye almost cut his finger.

"Where's Brother Sheng?" I'm more interested in Yue Sheng than Huang Xiaoye.

"Brother Sheng, Brother Sheng is greater than me." Huang Xiaoye probably felt that I was too idle, so he poked a dustpan to dry chili and asked me to help cut it, "Brother Sheng is from outside, he is a serious intellectual .You know about educational assistance, right?"

I listened with gusto and nodded pretending to understand.

Huang Xiaoye went on to say: "Every year, teachers from the city come down to teach the children. Brother Sheng is the one who stays the longest, and he never leaves after he comes. I especially admire him. He can do everything, such as teaching, seeing a doctor, patrolling ...By the way, he has a good relationship with the nearby troops, and last year they caught human traffickers, and he also helped."

I was just imagining how Yue Sheng would catch the traffickers, when Huang Xiaoye suddenly stared at me and slapped his thigh, "Damn!"

He startled me.

Huang Xiaoye's small eyes were wide open, "You couldn't have been abducted here by human traffickers, were you? What country are you from?"

"I……"

What, I'm a little sun parrot, a mere human trafficker, how could it be possible to abduct me?

Huang Xiaoye became nervous, "Really?"

"no!"

"Then why did you appear in Daoziling alone?"

Now I know that the place where I transformed is called Daoziling, and the cabin where I lived for three days is where Yue Sheng and the others rest during their weekly patrols.

It stands to reason that Bieyue Village is almost impossible for outsiders to enter, but human traffickers like to cross the border here. It is quite suspicious that I suddenly appeared.

But I don't want to tell him that I'm not human.

I remember my goal, I still want to seduce Yue Sheng.

"Where's your ID card?" Huang Xiaoye asked: "When the doctor came to see you, we didn't find your mobile phone."

I subconsciously replied, "I haven't."

"Then you are very suspicious!" Huang Xiaoye stood up, "I'll go find the village chief!"

I'm a little flustered.

Although I don't know the consequences of looking for the village head, I instinctively feel that looking for the village head is not good.

I hugged the dustpan tightly, my fingers turned red from the hot pepper.

I figured it out, if he insisted on going to the village chief, I would put the dustpan on his head and let the peppers blind his eyes.

At this moment, Yue Sheng came back.

"Brother Sheng!" Huang Xiaoye and I said in unison.

There was only one light turned on in the yard, illuminating Huang Xiaoye and me, Yue Sheng was outside the light, his body wrapped in cold air, his face became more and more serious in the shadows, I could see the white air he exhaled between his breaths, like Extremely winter fog over the river.

"This man may have been brought here by human traffickers!" Huang Xiaoye said, "I want to take him to the village chief, but he's still stubborn!"

My heart was pounding, I was afraid that Yue Sheng and Huang Xiaoye had the same idea.

I stared closely at Yue Sheng's eyes, thinking that there would be a little surprise there, but from the beginning to the end, he was so calm.

His gaze was cooler than the moonlight on a snowy night.

I felt inexplicably at ease.

How should I put it, looked at by him, I was like a small reef, submerged in a vast sea of ​​ice, with only a sharp point exposed.

Human beings always say that the reef is lonely, which is simply moaning for nothing.The reef is surrounded by a sea of ​​ice, it has a sea of ​​ice, how can it be lonely?

"It's okay." Yue Sheng said, "I'll take care of it."

I really want to ask Yue Sheng, what are you going to do with me?But he just glanced at me, as if he didn't want to talk to me for the time being.I continued to cut the dried peppers.

In the middle of the night, the child who was doing homework and Huang Xiaoye left, and only Yue Sheng and I were left in the yard.

Cut dried peppers were spread all over the mat, and a gust of wind blew sand into my eyes. I rubbed my eyes without washing my hands, and burst into tears.

It hurts!

I've been punished, just now I wanted to hit Huang Xiaoye's head with a dustpan, but now my eyes are scorched.

Sure enough, one cannot have a bad heart.

I couldn't open my right eye at all, and my left eye was full of tears. In the blurred and distorted vision, a figure was getting closer and closer to me, and then something moist covered my face, and the burning pain gradually eased.

I belatedly realized that it was a soaked towel, and it was Yue Sheng who handed the towel to me.

I was still crying, the tears kept falling.I was a little afraid to look at him, worried that he would despise me as a crying bag.

No, our little sun seldom cries, I'm just so hot.

"Brother Sheng..." I wanted to explain, but he interrupted me.

"The pool is over there." He pointed his chin at the place where I looked in the mirror, "Go and wash your face if it doesn't hurt."

I pushed forward, "I still want to take a shower."

His brows seemed to twitch, very light and casual, like a chivalrous man holding a sword in a book.

He looked at me and nodded for a moment, "It's time for you to take a shower."

I still covered my face with the towel, followed him into the bathing place, and watched him finish boiling the water before I realized it—he seemed to think I was dirty.

I'm a little annoyed.

I'm not dirty. Before I took shape, I groomed my feathers every day, and I didn't take a shower after I turned into a human shape.

There is no water in the cabin, so I can't lick myself like a dog, can I?

Yue Sheng pulled up the curtain, and at the other end of the curtain was a large basin, a bucket of cold water, and a bucket of boiled water.

He turned around, probably wanting to beckon me to go in and wash.

I was very obedient, and before he called me, I had already stripped naked and stood obediently in front of him.

His eyes stopped on me like a shackle, locking me in place.
