Chapter 242: Walking in the middle of summer evening, talking about the rain in Bashan Mountains

"Bang!Bang!Bang!"

Bai Xueling knocked on the door a few times, sighed, and said, "Teacher, I am Bai Xueling, can I open the door?"

The tone was like a nightingale on a midsummer night, and it was a bit sad, but in a blink of an eye, it seemed that the sound of water dripping through the stone coming from the valley was so ethereal, gentle, but also pitying.

"Squeak!"

The iron door opened from the inside, Zhou Cheng took off his Taoist robe, wore a shirt on his top, and his lower body was still wearing Zhongshan pants. He held the door with one hand and said:

"Bai Xueling, this is wrong. All other students have gone back. Why haven't you gone back yet? Do you want me to continue teaching you separately, which is a fee."

Zhou Cheng smiled and said, his expression was leisurely, as if he had forgotten that just ten minutes ago, he had recruited a large group of ghosts to teach these students who were curious about elephants, and also called history, humanities, archaeology.

Bai Xueling lowered her head slightly and replied in a thin voice as thin as a mosquito, "No, it's me. I'm a little scared and want the teacher to send me off."

"Send it to you?"

Zhou Cheng said in confusion.

"Yes, that's what you said. I will definitely get lost in the middle of the night. As a teacher, you said in person that if I get lost, you can ask you to help me."

Bai Xueling looked up and smiled sweetly, with a little ghostly charm in her smile, without pretending to behave or being delicate and arrogant. If the bright moon hanging high in the sky at this time was like a jade plate, then the girl's heartfelt smile would be like a string of glowing crystals, which could reflect her own mood and affect a person's mood.

"Oh, who told me to call myself a good teacher in the new generation? I'll give it to you so that you won't be trustworthy when you say that you are a teacher."

Zhou Cheng nodded helplessly. He was not a person who was used to rejecting others. Even if he changed to an ugly girl or a beggar, he probably had to agree, let alone this little girl in Bai Xueling.

It’s not that Zhou Cheng thought it was so noble to do good deeds. It should be said that doing good deeds is a habit. He still remembers that when he was in middle school, he always met some old men who were pushing honeycomb coal or bulk liquor to deliver goods when he came home during holidays. He would push them silently for a while from behind. The honeycomb coal was piled high on the flatbed truck. Sometimes, after walking for half an hour, no one noticed that there was a young man behind the car who was gritting his teeth and helping him push the cart.

Zhou Cheng didn't wear a coat, so he followed the girl downstairs.

"I'm cute, always lost. Comrade Bai Xueling, where do you live now?"

"You bully others. I have rarely gone out since I was a child, and my sense of direction is not strong. It's dark and I just made so many things from gods and ghosts. Lin Ling and the others said they would send me back, but I refused. Teacher, you are still laughing at me!"

As she spoke, the girl pouted, as if Zhou Chengzhen had bullied her. Zhou Cheng knew that this seemingly quiet girl was actually full of interest in many things. At the age of eighteen, she was destined to be an era with a strong desire for knowledge, especially this typical girl who was restrained at home since childhood.

When he was in class just now, he saw it very clearly on the podium. The girl was so scared that she almost fainted, but she quickly opened her eyes wide. She was a typical person who would rather suffer in order to satisfy her curiosity.

"Okay, Bai Xueling, it is the teacher's honor to ask the teacher to give you it, right!"

Zhou Cheng pursed his lips and changed his tone to speak, which made the girl laugh so well. Zhou Cheng was a man with no class concept, and he didn't care about the high and low. Even in the ancient mythological era where strength was king and gods were everywhere, he never bullied others with power, and he never ridiculed those mortals who were facing the loess and the sky every day.

Only those who know how to respect others will respect you. Fists can exchange status, money, and beauty, but they cannot exchange other people's beliefs.

The two walked through the small gravel road behind the ivy hill, and took a few more steps to reach the long tree-lined avenue. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening. Fortunately, it was summer, and in winter, the student dormitory was closed.

"Teacher, can you sit with me?"

Bai Xueling hugged the book tightly, as if she was afraid of the cold. The two of them didn't talk much. For a moment, they only heard Bai Xueling's slippers hit the ground.

"Ba, bha..."

"Okay. As long as you are not afraid of not getting into the dormitory, it's okay to sit for a while."

"Thank you, teacher, hi!" Bai Xueling ran out first, and then reached the edge of the lotus pond, put his hands on his knees and supported his head. Sometimes it was often the jade plate in the sky, sometimes it was looking at the bright moon in the water.

"Ah, teacher, look, the goldfish are swimming in the moon palace!" Bai Xueling pointed at the lotus pond and exclaimed in a low voice.

Zhou Cheng looked over and saw that some goldfish swam into the reflection of the moon in the water, just like the moon, which had a few more carvings that could move. It was crystal clear and could be liked by girls. Bai Xueling, the girl, was not immune to the vulgarity. When she met something she liked, she would scream.

"Student Bai Xueling, do you want the teacher to help you pick it up? A teacher will catch the moon!"

"Ph, ph, ph, the teacher wants to be a monkey, don't." Bai Xueling still leaned on her head with her hands, as if she was sad: "Teacher, just call me Xueling. I have never had friends since I was a child, and it is because... Forget it, it's useless to say it."

As he said that, he looked up at Zhou Cheng and said sincerely: "Actually, I didn't have a teacher before, and I was taught by my family. You are the most approachable among the freshman teachers. Just call me Xue Ling in the future."

"Okay, Xue Ling, Xue Ling is very good! Miss Xue Ling." Zhou Cheng said with an exaggerated look.

"Bad teacher. I ignore you."

Bai Xueling seemed to be angry, which scared Zhou Cheng, right? He couldn't help but joke. If this sentence was spoken by another girl, Zhou Cheng would definitely avoid it, but if he said it in the mouth of Bai Xueling girl, it seemed like there was a heartbreaking feeling, without being pretentious, it was just a natural joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

"I... the teacher won't joke next time."

Bai Xueling seemed to have not listened, but just said to himself: "Only the people in my family call me Xueling, and no one dares to call me that."

Zhou Cheng knew that such a girl with natural beauty all over her body was not something that ordinary people could call her nickname because she would feel inferior.

"Actually, I just want to talk to the teacher. Usually I am alone. When I meet the teacher, I want to talk to you, and you still laugh at me." Bai Xueling said a little aggrievedly, "When I was a child, I only knew that our family was big and big, and many people lived together. Grandpa said he wanted to exercise his children. When I was two years old, no one was allowed to take care of me."

As if he had thought of something afraid, Bai Xueling sobbed in a low voice, "Woo, wuwu... My house is so big, so big, I always get lost, bigger than the school. I can't find the way back to the house to eat and sleep. Every time I have to be hungry and walk so far, and then when I met someone, I begged him to take me back. At first, someone took me back, but later after being scolded by my grandfather a few times, no one dared to take me back. Sometimes, they took me out in the morning and put it in a place, saying that they wanted to exercise their children. As a result, every time it was at night, I was able to go back to my house mistakenly after getting lost countless times. Woowu..."

"Ah?...Do your parents care about you?" Zhou Cheng couldn't help but feel ashamed. What kind of family is this? A family is bigger than Sichuan University? Although there may be exaggerated elements in it, it sounds like a big family living together, but this Bai Xueling girl should not be talking nonsense. Moreover, those parents are too weird and actually tortured their children like this since they were young. What's the matter, and let the children find their way home by themselves.

There are many strange things in the world and many difficult to understand, so Zhou Cheng just listens to it.

"My grandfather is the oldest in the family, and no one can take care of it. Later, when I grew up, I stayed in the house every day and never went out again. I also taught me how to read and write every day. It was not until later that I came here to go to school. Actually, actually..."

"Oh, it's raining!" Zhou Cheng exclaimed softly. The raindrops had disintegrated the moon shadow in the lotus pond, and there was a tendency to gradually increase.

"I'll take you back? Bai Xueling!"

"teacher……."

"Uh, uh. OK, my name is Xueling. Xueling, will I send you back?"

"No, when I was alone at home, my favorite thing was rain. Every time I ran to the rain and stood there, I felt that I would be very happy and very happy."

"What should I do if I get sick?"

"No one at home has ever been sick, and he hasn't even caught a cold."

“…”

"Teacher, do you like rain? Every time I feel like a flying geese flying in the sky. The rain wets my clothes and makes me feel like the feathers on my body are close to me."

"Well, teacher, I like rain too. How do you say it? It's rainy in southwest Sichuan. When I was a child, I went to school and my family was poor. Every time it rained, I would take a shabby umbrella. Basically, after I went out, I would hide the umbrella quietly, and then wait until the rain got wet, and then change the clothes wrapped in tapered paper in my hand after I arrived at school."

Zhou Cheng looked at a pond of night water and seemed to recall. He got a lot of things, but some things were gone when he fell from the Minjiang River. He pursued an ordinary life and enjoyed the days of mortals, but the innocence of running to school even when he was in the rain was gone.

Many times, Zhou Chengdu wonders, are people getting older and older? Or are they getting tired as they live. A person who has come step by step from the mythological era has this feeling. The billions of mortals in the world should feel more profound.

When it was late at night, Zhou Cheng was wondering why he had to return to modern times to achieve the Hunyuan Avenue. Looking at the lotus leaves and the leisurely swimming fish in the pond, he seemed to understand.

I am like a fish in the water, and I went to the ancient mythology era, but it was like a fish coming out of the water. Where I can truly transcend myself, transcend the way of heaven, and attain the Hunyuan, I still have to rely on my own roots and still have to return to this water.

"Why don't you take a better umbrella?"

Bai Xueling's family was not that embarrassed, and she couldn't help asking curiously.

"I've given it to me the only one in my family. My mother and the others went out to carry water to the well, but they could only go in the rain, without even breaking umbrellas."

Zhou Cheng did not lie to her. He really liked rain since he was a child. Rain could make him feel that the world is so pure and so quarrel free.

"Oh, I'm sorry, teacher, I shouldn't ask. Actually, I asked the teacher to give me something tonight. Is it really a ghost when I was in class just now?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"Because, when I was a child, I got lost and walked out of my house. When I went to the wilderness, I encountered something exactly the same on a hill, and even the feeling was the same. Then my grandfather suddenly appeared and saved me. I remember very clearly that the feeling was exactly the same as the appearance, and there would be no mistakes. But the next day my grandfather told me that it was the hallucination I had because of fear. They seemed to be lying to me every time, and I wonder if they lied to me again that time. Real teacher, you don't know, they seemed to be lying to me in everything, really, really, oh..."

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Zhou Cheng didn't answer directly, but helped her up and said, "I'll take you back first."

The two of them soon arrived at Bai Xueling's dormitory. Bai Xueling stood at the door and refused to go in. The aunt guarding the door was almost annoyed and urged her to hurry up.

"I'll leave first, you can rest early. Bai Xueling!" After saying that, Zhou Cheng turned around and left.

"Teacher, you haven't told me yet, is it or not."

Zhou Cheng stopped, turned his back to Bai Xueling, and replied indifferently:
Chapter completed!
