C76 Accident in Picking Wild Fruits

In October, Tao Huizhen finally got tired. She lay on the bamboo bed and could not get up. She had a high fever that would not go away for a long time. Her face, which was naturally rosy, became even more fiery red. It was like a burning flame. And the areas that were not rosy became even paler and dimmer. It was deathly and stiff.

The flame lit up the paleness, and she fell asleep in a daze between ice and fire. She frowned, and her lips curled up into a chapped white skin. She said some sleep words. An uncomfortable feeling spread throughout her entire body. She felt that she would sometimes swim outside of her body, and sometimes she would be squeezed to the bottom of a huge rock, unable to breathe.

After an unknown period of time, he smelled the smell of herbs again. Someone fed her the herbal water from Dai Village and vaguely told her something. Then he went downstairs. She fell asleep again in a daze. In her dream, she was still giving lectures to the children.

Doctor Chen put the Dai medicine in the basket downstairs and left.

Outside the hanging bamboo house, Qiuhe and Dao Xiaotong were talking. They used Dai Village's dialect to look at each other and spoke slowly. From their tone, one could not tell the severity of the situation. It was probably because Qiu He had been asking and Dao Xiaotong had been answering. After a while, Qiu He left the door of the Hanging Bamboo House.

A few hours later, the village became lively. Someone was running. Someone was shouting. Someone was running up to the bamboo building. They looked at Tao Huizhen, who was still leaning against the bamboo bed, not knowing what was going on. Their faces were filled with displeasure. These people who had run up the stairs. . . They were the parents of the elementary school children of Da Tea Village. They were not here to visit Tao Huizhen. Their original intention was to vent their dissatisfaction to their heart's content. However, when they saw Tao Huizhen's haggard appearance, they hesitated and turned around to leave.

Tao Huizhen felt that her head was heavy, and she did not have the time to ask. The parents who had walked in and disappeared in front of her left behind shadows by her side.

Why were their faces filled with anger?

Tao Huizhen lifted her heavy head and dragged her body under the roof. She looked outside. Some of the villagers were walking along the village road. Dao Xiaotong was brewing Dai medicine in the open-air kitchen downstairs. The smell of the medicine assailed her nostrils. Tao Huizhen thought that it was for her. There was no trace of the children in the elementary school of Da Tea Village diagonally across the street. There were people passing by talking to each other. Tao Huizhen was still unable to find out. Why would the parents be angry in front of her?

At this moment, the clear sounds of conversation from downstairs drifted into her ears. She heard the whole story.

It turned out that there were a few children who remembered the sweet taste of the red wild fruit when they went to Big Tea Mountain with her last time. She even described it as even more delicious than the fruits in the city. When she ate it, she even smiled sweetly. Thus, after she fell ill, the children spontaneously organized themselves. They went to Big Tea Mountain to pick wild fruits. Originally, it was the students' love in order to make the teacher recover faster, but a few children had their fingers cut because of this. Their calves had been cut by the tree branches. As a result, some people began to discuss among themselves. As the parents of the students, they were particularly mindful.

Tao Huizhen's head sank, and she almost fell down from the stairs. She raised her wrist and looked at her watch. She had actually slept for an entire day and night. It seemed that what they were talking about was still yesterday. She actually couldn't remember at all. At the corner of the table. On the plate were red wild fruits that were obviously separated by the night. She didn't know if she had eaten one before.

She was very worried about how the children's scratches were. She staggered towards the stairs. Elder Lee's voice also came from the stairs. "It's not a problem. It's just some very small scratches. It's not a big deal for a child to be lively. "

"The parents of the child will naturally feel sorry for their child when they see him. We should understand why the parents ran up to vent their feelings. Teacher Tao also loves these children and should understand their feelings. Of course, those parents are also very worried about your situation. They are afraid that you will completely collapse. "

Tao Huizhen stopped at the staircase. Elder Li's words lingered in her ears as she carefully savored them. She nodded in agreement as a conditioned reflex. She didn't really mind the parents' reactions. Since the students were fine, she could finally let out a sigh of relief. She sent the air deep into her lungs and then heavily spat it out. She watched Elder Li with concern as he moved upstairs step by step.

Elder Lee was leaning on a bamboo stick. His hair was white and sweat dripped down his face. He gritted his teeth. His body kept shaking, and he was trying to compete with his legs and waist. It took him a lot of time to climb the stairs. He was angry with himself, but his old body was becoming more and more useless.

He finally climbed up the stairs. Tao Huizhen remained silent. Before the heavy snow last year, Elder Li's body was still very tough. He even built a school building. It had only been a year, and he was already quite old. It was very difficult for Tao Huizhen to imagine that such a tall and sturdy figure would also gradually wither away over the years.

"He's getting old. But this was not a matter of sadness. Everyone would get old. We can't fight against the passage of time. We can't fight against the laws of nature. Once that time comes, we should calm down and accept it without any complaints. " Elder Li stood in front of the window. He pressed his chest.

Tao Huizhen pursed her lips into a straight line. She looked at Elder Li with certainty and nodded heavily. Waiting for him to continue.

Elder Li shook his head. He changed the topic. "No one can defeat your Teacher Tao. You have created miracles in your limited life. You have helped those children. "

"You flatter me. "

"Doing education has never been easy. It's normal to be questioned. I can see it. I can see it in the old man's eyes. Teacher Tao also hesitated before. Annoying, complaining. However, you finally arrived here. I also questioned your Teacher Tao. When you first arrived at Dai Village, I don't think you could last more than three months. When I talked about you with Saber Teacher, you still remembered when I talked about you, right? But that was the truth. At that time, no one would believe that the teacher from the city could stay for more than three years. Even now, there are still people in a trance. "

"We have to thank Tao Huizhen. We always talk about you in front of us and reminisce about you behind our backs. Those children's parents will not really be angry with you. "

"Persist. Day by day. Day by day. " Elder Lee said very meaningfully.
