path of life

After all the people who came this time entered the house, the village head closed the door of the house, turned around and walked to the side of the middle-aged woman sitting cross-legged on the futon, the village head bent extremely low, as if wanting to express himself low status.

"Lecturer Qiu, we are here to apologize to you today, I hope you can forgive this kid, this time, he just did it unintentionally." The village chief said tentatively.

Seeing that the lecturer surnamed Qiu remained motionless, the village chief bent over and turned his head, and stretched out his hands to the three people standing not far behind him. He slapped Lin An on the shoulder twice.

With a plop, Lin An knelt down. At this time, the expressions on the faces of Lin An's parents were so incomprehensible, as if they could not bear it, as if they had guilt, as if they had helplessness, and as if there was such a trace of anger.

"Teacher, I was wrong." Lin An lowered his head, as if trying to hide something.

"Teacher Qiu, look, this kid knows he was wrong, and I hope you can give him a chance."

The village chief reached into his arms and took out a rusty metal box from it.

"By the way, the ancestors of our village once passed down a box. Our village has tried to open it countless times, but due to lack of ability, it has not succeeded until today. Today, I take this opportunity to bring it specially. Please help .” The village head handed over the metal box.

Until this time, the lecturer surnamed Qiu finally opened her eyes. She glanced at the iron box, her pupils shrinking secretly, and she suppressed her excitement and took the metal box.

She lightly pressed the index finger of her right hand on the particularly conspicuous pattern on the metal box, Shi Chen's power slowly transferred to the metal box through her index finger, and the patterns on the metal box gradually lit up until all the patterns were lit up At the same time, the bright pattern began to weaken, until it became dim again.

Stretching back the index finger, gently peeling off the right hand, the metal parted, and what appeared was a box of purple metal needles.Seeing the contents in the box, the lecturer surnamed Qiu's eyes flashed.

"What are you willing to exchange for the things in this box?" The lecturer surnamed Qiu stared at the things in the box, and said slowly, only her slightly trembling hands showed her restless heart at this moment.

"Lecturer Qiu, useful things are only useful in the hands of useful people, and we can't use them in the first place. Besides, you opened it, and the things inside should belong to you." The village chief swallowed. .

"We're here today just to ask you to forgive the boy just once. Do you see?"

The lecturer surnamed Qiu closed the metal box, turned her hands over, and disappeared. She turned her head and looked at Lin An, who was kneeling on the ground with her head bowed.

"It's not a big deal, and I'm not that stingy, it's just~"

The lecturer's voice changed, and he continued: "This incident is not a small one. As for me, I have no other intentions. I need him to do something to let others understand the consequences of provoking me."

"Lecturer Qiu, this is the right thing to do. Even if you don't say it, we will take the initiative to mention it." The village chief put his hand on Lin An's shoulder and squeezed it.

"Teacher, I was wrong, and I am willing to accept the punishment." Lin An lowered his head and said.

"In that case, then you can kneel at the gate of the school tomorrow." The lecturer surnamed Qiu said slowly.

"Teacher Qiu!" The village chief's face changed and he wanted to say something.

"Okay, I'm going to practice, you guys go out." The lecturer surnamed Qiu turned his head back and closed his eyes again.

The village chief resisted the impulse, helped Lin An up, and signaled Lin An's parents, who were looking extremely ugly, to leave the house like this. After that, he left the school and walked slowly towards the village. The four of them unanimously let people Feel extremely heavy. "Son, I'm sorry for you." The village head tried to hold back the tears in his eyes. He didn't want to say this at first, but he couldn't help it in the end.

"It's okay, village head, I was mentally prepared for this." Lin Anqiang smiled at the village head.To be honest, after all this time, I have more or less understood the teacher's personality. Lin An knew from the very beginning that the result would not be good, but it still exceeded his expectations after all. It was just that there was a twitch in my heart at that moment, and after a while, I let it go.

Lin An didn't know that his smile was like a sharp knife at this moment, piercing into the hearts of everyone present, stabbing in, pulling out, stabbing in again, pulling out again, and so on.

Lin An's mother couldn't bear it any longer at this moment, she finally burst into tears, Lin An's father raised his head, looked at the sky, tears rolled in his eyes, the tears kept accumulating, showing the strength of the tears Drips are just a matter of time.

A tear fell from the village head's eyes, but it was such a big blow to a person at such an age who had already looked down on everything.The village chief finally spoke up: "The one who wants is just a face."

The village head took a deep breath, and continued: "Sometimes, face is just an appearance."

The village chief paused for a moment, "Mother of the child, after you go back today, remember to get two thicker cushions, but don't make them too obvious."

"En." After Lin An's mother responded, she couldn't help wiping her tears again.

Then the village chief sighed, opened his mouth, and wanted to continue to say something, but it seemed that there was nothing to say, so he could only shut his mouth, lower his head, and walk in a dull manner.

Back home, Lin An's father kept chopping firewood with an axe, and then went up the mountain to cut trees. Anyway, he didn't want to let himself be idle.

Lin An's mother took out all the savings hidden under the bed and walked towards the outside of the courtyard. Just as she reached the door, she turned around and went to the kitchen. When she came out, she had a basket on her arm. Some fine grains obtained by chance before.

On weekdays, she kept these as treasures, and when Lin An was preparing to get married, she made some high-end things so that Lin An could grow his face.This time, Lin An's mother was planning to go to another family's house in the village, and her purpose was just to exchange for some high-grade cotton that the family had inadvertently obtained.

Lin An arrived at his room and packed a bag, which was full of talismans and various patented medicines that he had accumulated on weekdays.After secretly putting it in the cabinet, he wrote a farewell letter and pressed it under the quilt that was spread out on purpose.

The next step is to continue to process the medicinal materials at home into finished medicine.At night, Lin An's father fell asleep after returning home with a tired body.Lin An's mother got what she wanted in Ruyi, and hurriedly made thick cushions when she got home.

Lin An's abnormality, to Lin An's parents, they just thought that Lin An wanted to distract some attention, so they didn't interfere too much except for distressed, because they knew very well that this was not a problem for Lin An what a bad.
