Chapter 78 Chapter Twelve

"How much more can it dissipate the wind and rain? The spring returns in a hurry. I cherish the spring and fear that the flowers will bloom early, not to mention the countless reds." Ouyang Xiaozhi walked a few steps on the playground, turned her head and said to the female student following her.The college entrance examination will be in less than two months, and the senior high school girl in front of her always reminds her of her eighteen years old, although no one can guess her age. "Teacher, why do you like this poem by Xin Qiji?" "Late spring and early summer are the most suitable seasons for death."

A purple silk scarf was tied around her neck, and her long hair was blown in the wind. A few strands of hair covered her face, and she was forced to show blurred eyes. Not long after the beginning of spring, Ouyang Xiaozhi completed a one-year teaching mission, bid farewell to the Miao children in the small towns and villages in the south, and returned to this big city.She was assigned to a middle school in the urban area as a high school Chinese teacher, temporarily taking over the liberal arts class for the college entrance examination. "Student Shin Min, why do you always follow me?"

"Teacher, you are a very special person." This little girl is especially interested in her, probably at the age of Sichun's grief, she worships Teacher Ouyang like a goddess. "Oh, that's what everyone says, men and women." Shin Min asked a bold question: "Teacher, why haven't you been married?" "For so many years, I have always had someone I like in my heart, but he can't marry me." "Is he a married woman?" Girls nowadays are really precocious, Xiao Zhi smiled wryly: "Because——he is already dead." The girl in the third year of high school also looked serious: "I also have someone I like, but he can't be with me because he says he is a ghost."

Ouyang Xiaozhi bit her ear and said, "Don't believe what boys say! Go back to the self-study classroom." Watching the little girl's slim back in spring, she picked up the fallen petals beside the flower bed, put them to her mouth and blew them with self-pity, watching the petals being swept away by the moist wind, feeling inexplicably sad. She didn't meet Si Wang again, and she didn't even make a phone call—he didn't know Xiao Zhi was back yet. The only worry is, will I run into him on the street one day? Xiaozhi also never went back to Nanming High School, and had to pass through Nanming Road twice, and deliberately took a detour to avoid it.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, she left the school in a professional attire and took the subway to the old neighborhood in the city center. There were various small shops and restaurants along the roadside, and it was especially lively at night when the nearby residents came to shop and eat. When I came to the door of a Shaxian snack, the signboard and exterior were fairly clean. Before dinner, a few guys were chatting and playing cards. She sat in and ordered a bowl of wontons. It was a tall and thin young man who brought the wontons to the table for her. Ouyang Xiaozhi put the money on the table and said, "If you're not busy, let's sit down and chat."

The other party was stunned for a moment, his cheeks blushed shyly, and he sat down and said, "Auntie, it's you." "Are you still used to living here?" "Not bad right." The boy looked less than twenty years old, with a blue mark on his forehead.He was wearing an ordinary jacket, his hair was greasy from the kitchen smoke, his complexion and energy were not bad, but his expression was weird, as if he had a lot to say, but swallowed it back when he came to his mouth. "Hey! Your pretty aunt is here again!" A cook joked at him, patting him on the shoulder and walking over. "He likes this place very much. He is very happy to work every day, and he doesn't know where he got his energy from."

"Jizong, I'm so happy for you." He shyly scratched his head: "Except for the low salary of 2,000 yuan per month, the rest are very happy, these guys treat me very well, I want to work for another year or two, and earn money to open a small shop by myself. " "Great, if you need help, Auntie can lend you some money, or you can count me as an investor to join the group! However, my salary as a teacher is not high, and the maximum I can give is 10,000 yuan." "hey-hey!" Lu Jizong smirked, his teeth were exposed, like a sunny boy, he was completely different from a few months ago.At that time, he played games all day long, fought with people on the street, couldn't find a friend by his side, and couldn't speak a word to his mother when he got home. He looked at strangers like a murderer who was about to be executed.

During the year in the small southern town, Ouyang Xiaozhi hoped to find clues about Lu Zhongyue by getting close to this young man—if the wanted criminal was still alive, the child with the blue birthmark in front of him would be the only one worthy of his nostalgia. In fact, she had a feeling that Lu Zhongyue was wandering nearby, maybe in a corner of the night, which made her take extra care every time she went back to Miao Village, and had to hide a wolf spray in her bag. That person was like a ghost, never appearing before her eyes. Finally, more than a month ago, she brought Lu Zhongyue's son out of the small town.It is also the result of the child's pleading several times. He no longer wants to stay in this suffocating environment. He also knows that playing games in Internet cafes every day is tantamount to slow suicide. Pay for it.His mother also knew that she couldn't keep him, so she entrusted her son to Ouyang Xiaozhi - Lu Zhongyue's "cousin" and the child's "cousin".

It was the first time that Lu Jizong left the small town, nervously and excitedly got into the car and then transferred to the train, and it took more than ten hours to get here.Xiaozhi found him a job at this Shaxian snack shop. The boss, a loyal Fujianese, solved the problem of accommodation for him.Although, you can only look at the glass curtain wall of the skyscraper through the narrow window. He quickly changed his mobile phone number and never contacted his mother again.He also specially took care of Xiaozhi, if his mother called again, he would say that he didn't know his whereabouts.Ouyang Xiaozhi has never been a mother, but she can understand Chen Xiangtian's mood.However, she still agreed to the child's request. She was worried that if she lied to him, she might never find him again, and the previous year's efforts would be in vain.

"Jizong, let me ask you a question." Xiaozhi thought for a while, finished eating wontons, and looked at the bruises on the young man's forehead, "Recently, has there been any special people around?" "No." He frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head blankly. "If there is any strange person coming to you, or if you encounter something special, please call me immediately!" "Okay, I remember." Suddenly, Lu Jizong looked much more attractive, and tomorrow the girl from the ramen shop next door will come to play with him.

This boy was just her bait.
