I really don't want to be a teacher

Turning his head again, he looked at Lian Ge,

"...Isn't it a bit late, and there is no car outside, so I will let this young man come to the house to rest overnight."

The middle-aged man explained aloud,

"Sure, I'll clean up the room in a while. Young man, come in and have a seat, and I'll get you a glass of water."

When the middle-aged woman heard the sound, she nodded first, then turned around with a smile, and greeted Lian Ge,

"I'll pour the water. You go wash and pick the fungus. If you can finish cooking, you can cook it tonight. If you can't cook it, let it dry."

The middle-aged man answered quickly, walked into the room quickly, pulled out a stool, and put it beside Lian Ge.

"Young man, sit down first."

"Thank you."

Nodding his head, Lian Ge thanked him,

"you are welcome."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and went to the side to pour water.

When the woman with the basket on her back heard what the middle-aged man said, she nodded first, then looked at the middle-aged man again,

"...At the entrance of the village just now...you were not injured when you caught those two people, right?"

Putting the back basket down, the woman asked aloud.

"...No, when Dad passed by, those two people were lying on the ground...I saw it first..."

Next to him, a half-grown boy who was eating an apple rushed to answer.

"...It's okay, one of the two was killed by cannibalism, and the other was bitten by the prey, and they couldn't move... This young man was the one who met first..."

"...Come on, boy, drink some water."

Holding a disposable paper cup and taking a glass of water, the middle-aged man first smiled, responded to the woman's words, then turned around, and handed the glass of water to Lian Ge.

"...It's fine... Those two guys deserve it too!"

The woman nodded, answered, and then picked up a fungus from the back basket,

But he didn't directly start to choose vegetables, and paused again,

"...By the way, Old Xu... Sister Luo, shall we go there at night?"

Chapter 589 Orphans and Widows

in the main room,

Lian Ge took the water glass, sat down,

The middle-aged man turned around, dragged another stool over, and wanted to sit down next to the door of the main room.

Hearing the woman's words, he stopped his movements first, then turned around, with some hesitation on his face,

"...In the morning, I went to the town and invited a master to come over, saying that I still have to do it... But after all, it's too... just say it's not a big deal, just tonight, and it will be carried out tomorrow morning. "

The woman held a group of mushrooms in her hand, squatting outside the main room door, on the steps under the eaves, turned her head and said to the middle-aged man,

"...Let's go there. Sister Luo also helps us a lot on weekdays. Last time when I held a ten-year-old banquet for this brat, Sister Luo also came to help. I'll go there in a while. , see if there's anything I can do to help."

After hesitating for a while, the middle-aged man still nodded and agreed, then turned his head again and looked at Lian Ge with a little apology on his face,

"...Excuse me, young man, I may have to excuse me later."

"Brother can do as he pleases."

Shaking his head slightly, Lian Ge said aloud, then turned his gaze, looked at the village outside the house through the open door of the main house,

"Brother, are you going to the funeral?"

With a calm tone, Lian Ge asked again.

"...Father, are you going to Aunt Luo's? What are you doing at Aunt Luo's house?"

On the side, the half-grown boy who was eating an apple heard the conversation here, ran over and asked aloud.

"Yes, to attend the funeral of a family in the village."

The middle-aged man nodded, responded, and said apologetically,

"...Maybe I won't accompany you later, but I hope the young man doesn't mind."

While talking, the middle-aged man turned around again and looked at the half-grown boy who was a little curious in his eyes.

"...Yes, I want to go to your Aunt Luo's house."

"...Is anyone in Aunt Luo's family dead?"

The half-grown boy followed up and asked again,

"...You Brother Wu had some accidents. Also, how did I teach you? Damn it, can you talk nonsense?"

"... Brother Wu?"

Doubts appeared in the half-grown boy's eyes, and he repeated it again and again, but immediately after, under the staring eyes of the middle-aged man, he hurriedly carried the unfinished apple and slipped into the next room.

……

"...Young man, I'm sorry, I made you laugh."

The middle-aged man turned his head and said something to Lian Ge.

Hearing the sound, Lian Ge shook his head slightly, stood up from the stool, and took another look outside the room.

"Brother, I don't know if we can go there together. I'll also ask for a drink."

Looking back, with a calm tone, Lian Ge asked aloud.

Hearing the sound, the middle-aged man hesitated for a while, looked outside the house, then nodded with a smile,

"Young man, if you don't think it's bad luck, let's go together. Although this is a trivial matter, it's better to be lively than deserted."

"Thank you, brother."

Lian Ge made a sound, and thanked him again.

"Why are you being polite. Sister Luo is also a warm-hearted person. She is willing to give up a glass of wine after you pass by."

The middle-aged man waved his hand again and said aloud.

"...Dad, I want to go too!"

In the next room, a half-grown boy leaned out, with some apples in his mouth, and shouted at his father,

"Go to hell, just stay in the house for me. If you have nothing to do, come out and help your mother pick out the fungus."

"Oh……"

The middle-aged man cursed angrily at the half-grown boy. The half-grown boy drooped his head as if he had been discouraged, and answered, walked out of the house, walked to the eaves, next to his mother, and walked out of the basket. Take out the fungus and help to choose it.

"...Then you stay in the house and look at this bastard. The young man and I will go there first."

The middle-aged man turned his head and said to the middle-aged woman next to him,

"Success, let's go."

The middle-aged woman nodded and agreed.

"...Young man, let's go there then."

Turning around again, talking to Lian Ge, the middle-aged man turned around and led the way, and walked out of the house.

Nodding his head slightly, Lian Ge also moved away, stepped out of the house, and walked along the village road with the middle-aged man to the other side of the village.

Behind him, beside the yard and under the eaves, the voices of the half-grown boy and his mother rang in his ears with the breeze from time to time,

"... Mom, why did Brother Wu... die?"

"...You Brother Ang ran to the mountain alone to step on the fungus...and fell...you remember, you are not allowed to run up the mountain alone in the future."

"...Oh... When did Brother Angus fall from the mountain?"

"……last night."

"……last night?"

……

"...Old Xu, are you going to Sister Luo's place?"

"...Yes, you'll be there in a while?"

"...you go there first, I will come back after I go back to the house and change my clothes."

Along the way, people greeted middle-aged men from time to time,

The middle-aged man led the way, stopping from time to time to respond.

I was talking to the last villager I met on the same village road. After passing by, I was silent again. The middle-aged man led the way, walked forward, and said,

"...This Sister Luo is a warm-hearted person. On weekdays, many families in the village have given her favor... Although the deceased was a half-grown child, it is not a big deal, but there are many people in the village who go there. "

"...Speaking of it, it's a crime. Brother Ang left early. When he left, the child was only two or three years old, leaving Sister Luo, an orphan and widow... As a result, the white-haired man gave the black-haired man away. "

Lian Ge moved forward, walking forward with the middle-aged man, listening quietly, and didn't say much.

"...it said that last night, Sister Luo was cooking dinner alone in the back room, and the other was not paying attention. The child ran up the mountain. After finding out last night, she was so anxious that she searched everywhere. She searched for it by herself for more than an hour, before she found it at the bottom of a cliff, and when she found it, she said she was already dead..."

"...It was only this morning that I heard people talking about it. It's a crime."

The middle-aged man said, sighed, and didn't speak again.

"Didn't I ask you to help find it?"

Lian Ge looked into the distance, spoke calmly, and said something.

"... Sister Luo doesn't want to bother the villagers. We think that Sister Luo has helped us a lot on weekdays, but she herself feels that she often troubles us. At the beginning, I didn't expect it... After all, it was not a trick Back... In the past, that kid used to run outside a lot, but he didn't go up that cliff very often... How could he know this time, how could he know this time..."

The middle-aged man said, then shook his head,

"I guess, it's also too dark. The child didn't pay attention, and his feet were empty..."

Hearing the sound, Lian Ge didn't turn his eyes away, looked into the distance, and didn't say anything more.

The middle-aged man also gradually fell silent, did not continue to speak, led the way, and continued to walk forward.

……

Along the way, Lian Ge and the middle-aged man walked towards the other side of the village, looking into the distance, listening to the sound of funeral music in the breeze from time to time,

After passing a few more houses, Lian Ge and the middle-aged man stopped one after another.

"...here it is, lad."

This is a family by the side of the village road. In the yard, some villagers are helping to arrange some tables, chairs and benches, helping and busying themselves.

An old Taoist priest in Taoist robes was standing by the yard, talking to some helpers.

The middle-aged man said something, and then led the way to the yard.

Lian Ge turned his gaze, and looked at the family again.

Chapter 590 Dementia

By the front yard, the door of the main house facing it was open, and people from the village who came to help came in and out from time to time.

In the main room, right in the middle, there is a wooden plank, with the four corners supported by piled bricks,

A bedding was spread on the wooden board, and feet in cloth shoes protruded straight out from under the bedding.

In front of the wooden board, there is a rusty iron basin, some paper money is still burning in the iron basin, on both sides of the iron basin, there are censers, with incense and wax in the censer, and a bowl of rice with chopsticks on one side.

It is a temporary mourning hall.

On the side of the mourning hall, leaning against the corner on the other side, there was a thin wooden coffin. In front of the coffin, stood a middle-aged woman with her back to the yard, staring at the wooden board, dazed.

"...Master, let's first..."
