C50 An Unusual Omen

One night in May, Qiuhe leaves her home at the end of the village, which is already very late. She walked barefoot towards the direction of Da Tea Village Primary School.

The night in Dai Village was silent and pure. If it wasn't for the crescent moon hanging on the west side of the sky. . . It would be hard for Autumn Lotus to distinguish the path in the shadows of the trees. She looked at the "silver sickle" that was wrapped by the silk cloud. The silk cloud was flowing within the shadow of the moon. Her shadow was reflected on the path. She was pulled into the forest by the light and was quickly following her.

She stepped on the dry and warm red ground and felt a little uncomfortable. She had no urgent matters to attend to, but her footsteps were hurried.

Although the east side of the village and the west side of the village where her family lived were the furthest from each other in the tea village, she did not mind the distance at all. She really wanted to go and see Tao Huizhen. Once this idea formed, she couldn't hold it back anymore. Just like how she wanted to dance Peacock Dance. Then she had to dance. She had been in contact with Tao Huizhen for half a year and was very dependent on her. Most of the time, when she saw Tao Huizhen, there was no reason for her not to see her. She just wanted someone to silently stay by her side and let her immediately understand. She was no longer the lonely person who lived alone. She was always the transparent person who shuttled back and forth outside the village.

She was willing to do anything just for the sake of the deposit in her heart.

Tao Huizhen not only taught her knowledge and culture, but also taught her how to survive. The power of human faith, beliefs, and dreams was endless. Although people could not always do whatever they wanted and their bodies were always shackled by this kind of shackles, the spirit of human could travel through the nine heavens.

Qiuhe's person was buried deep in this endless mountain range, but her state of mind had long drifted out of the Great Tea Mountain. Looking down at the Great Land, The land that left behind memories everywhere. Listening to the voices of 56 people, 5000 years of culture flowed. Qiuhe often lay on the small bamboo bed, unable to sleep, thinking about these things. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. Coming back to her senses from her thoughts, she suddenly thought of the five-star red flag fluttering in the wind in the big tea village's small academy. She clenched her fists in excitement.

Life and faith were just like the autumn lotus's labor and dancing under the starry sky. They couldn't be separated for even a moment. After listening to Tao Huizhen tell her the trajectory of China's 100 years of development, the blood and sweat that flowed out were not easy. Qiuhe's patriotism had become even more intense recently. There was a sense of patriotism. The feelings of pride and sense of belonging for a Chinaman. . . Identity, the right values. All of these. . . It was Tao Huizhen who taught her.

Qiu He also became one of Tao Huizhen's proudest students.

To Qiu He, Tao Huizhen was the only person in her life who had come late, her teacher and friend. Even if she had nothing to say, sometimes she wanted to see her urgently. As long as she saw her. . . He would never be able to stop thinking about it. It was like when the rain stopped and the flood returned to the water line. It was like a sea of people in a temple fair falling down the mountain in the future. The traces had all disappeared without a trace.

In Tao Huizhen's words, sometimes, Qiuhe was very impulsive. When an idea was formed, it had to be put into practice. This was her weakness. However, from a microscopic point of view, it would sometimes be her advantage.

Tonight was different from the usual humidity. As Qiuhe walked, she was in a hurry. Her hands were wiping the sweat off her forehead, her ears, and her chin. The dense amount of heat she emitted made her withstand more heat than others. The hottest season in Dai Village was from June to August. June was the beginning of the hot season, and there was still some heat left in August. But in May, the temperature suddenly rose to a peak. Yesterday, Dai Village was still in a comfortable temperature, and today's hot weather was unusual no matter how one looked at it. It was just like a few months ago during winter when the unusual cold was on the eve of the heavy snow. This made people panic and uneasy.

A few months had passed in the blink of an eye since the blizzard. Qiuhe walked along the narrow road, recalling her wonderful encounter with Tao Huizhen. As well as the bits and pieces after that. At that time, she was still a little illiterate who didn't even know how to write her own name. Now, she could completely read the newspaper by herself. Thinking about it, it really was a bit inconceivable.

This was the power of knowledge. It wasn't unreasonable for Tao Huizhen to be proud of herself. This was because Qiuhe only used two hours of study time every day. She still had to take care of her grandparents and work at the same time. This habit of hers had already lasted for half a year, and there was still a long way to go in the future. Waiting for the autumn lotus.

Tao Huizhen had just finished preparing her lessons and went to the bamboo building to stretch her arms. When she saw Qiuhe standing diagonally at the corner of the bamboo building, she was completely stunned by her appearance. "It's Qiu He. Why are you here? Is something the matter? "

"It's too hot. I can't sleep. " Qiuhe replied.

"That's true. It's especially stuffy tonight. Come, come here. There's no place to block the wind to cool down. "

Tao Huizhen did not ask her why she had to make a trip so far away. The two of them walked to a place far away from the Hanging Bamboo House and stood down. Tao Huizhen looked at Qiuhe and told her to go home early to rest. Qiuhe nodded. Then, the two of them silently looked at the crescent moon that lit up half of the sky to the west, shuttling back and forth in the silver silk cloud.

Under the moonlight, everything turned into black shadows. Tao Huizhen heard a sound similar to swallowing saliva when she heard Qiuhe. She had no idea what she was doing. In the silence, she saw her bare feet standing there, wearing an old short skirt. She was suntanned.

"Why aren't you wearing shoes?" Tao Huizhen spoke in a blaming tone.

"Save your shoes. " Qiuhe answered without any pause. She straightforwardly stated her purpose of not wearing shoes.

A buzzing sound came from the depths of Tao Huizhen's mind. It felt as if a hydrogen bomb had been ignited in the depths of her mind. A bad feeling spread out. She really couldn't do anything about the autumn lotus. The blame that was hanging on her mouth couldn't be said no matter what. Tao Huizhen found that her throat was choked by a stream of air. Because her mouth was dry, The friction between her tongue and her upper jaw made a rustling sound.

Following that, Tao Huizhen's eyes turned red, her nose turned red, and her face also turned red. A sound similar to swallowing saliva came from her mouth.

"Teacher. " Qiuhe called out sadly. She took a step towards Tao Hui Zhen.

"How can I not wear shoes? What if I get hurt? You like to dance, do you know how important your feet are to a dancer? It's like the hands of an artist. The ears of a musician. You have to take good care of it. If you love dancing, you have to take good care of your own body. In fact, dancing and every part of your body. . . They are all closely linked. Only the body in the best state can perform the best dance. " Tao Huizhen placed her hands on the girl's shoulders. Explain it to her. She used the back of her hand to wipe away the sweat on her chin. It was really hot tonight.

Qiu He stood in front of Tao Huizhen obediently. Regarding health and life. . . She had thought about it. First of all, she knew that she couldn't fall down, because she was the pillar of the family. She had also evaluated her own life. Now and the future. In her life, there shouldn't be any miracles. At least, before meeting Tao Huizhen, she thought that there was no miracle to speak of. There was no chance at all. In this lifetime, He had to tread carefully and cautiously. He had to use all his strength and effort. This was the only way. Only then could he barely hold on.

It was the same when she was dancing under the starlight. Ten years, twenty years later, she thought that she was still dancing. This was the only thing she could do that surpassed reality itself.

But tonight, for no reason, an unprecedented courage pushed her forward, making her have a new wish for her life. Teacher Tao admired and trusted her so much. She raised her head, and a new desire for the future surged in her eyes. "Teacher, is there still a chance for Qiuhe's life to turn around?"

When Tao Huizhen came into contact with Qiuhe's bright eyes, her body seemed to have become much lighter. Her eyes were like cat-eye gems, refracting the starlight of the night. The entire dark blue night sky was in her eyes, as if the entire sky had turned upside down, flowing in her eyes.

Suddenly, Tao Huizhen's expression became painful. Her body shook. She protected Qiu He, who was also shaking. In an instant, it was as if the entire world had started to shake. She protected Qiu He with all her might. Qiu He passed through Tao Huizhen's arm. She saw the sky in the north, far away. A dangerous white light flashed across the sky. Her body was still swaying, this process lasted for a full minute. Until Tao Huizhen let go of her.

"What's going on? Teacher. " Qiuhe asked softly.

Tao Hui Zhen's face was somewhat pale, she knew what it was. Such a strong shock. It made her heart feel as if it had been squeezed by someone. It was so painful. She hugged Qiuhe. She shook her head and said to her, "It's nothing, Qiuhe. In addition, Teacher must be very responsible to tell you that you must believe in yourself. . . Your life will never stop here, turning points and opportunities. . . There are still many, many things on you. "

The villagers had walked out of their homes at some point in time. There were crowds on the road to the village. The strong shock this time did not cause any harm or loss to Dai Village. However, everyone seemed to be in a bad mood. They were thinking about their compatriots in the north!

Wenchuan's newspaper arrived at Big Tea Village the next day. This time, the messenger delivered the newspaper a week earlier. He informed the people of the village of this sad news.
