I really don't want to be a teacher

"What do you think Tao is?"

Make another sound, look, Lian Ge said something.

The old Taoist heard the sound, raised his head again,

Turning around, following Lian Ge's line of sight,

Looking at the deserted streets, roadsides, and rivers, he seemed to be looking for something.

Slowly turning his head back again,

"...The poor, the poor..."

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

Eyes are getting more and more confused,

"... I don't know if I'm poor."

Lowering his head a little more, the old Taoist priest murmured, talked, and fell silent again with his cloudy eyes in a daze.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the old Taoist priest kneeling on the ground in front of him, hunched over and bowed his head.

The old Taoist priest was trembling, as gusts of breeze blew by, disturbing the shadows of the branches and leaves under the roadside street lamps on the old Taoist priest's Taoist robe, and also shaking the old Taoist priest's lapel.

Above the head, in the night, the full moon is covered by a few clouds,

Under the night, the street lights were still on, but it seemed to be darker.

Looking at this old Taoist priest,

Lian Ge raised his hand again.

In front of him, a cluster of flames suddenly shot up in the air, just like the fire burning on a candle, moving and shaking with the gusts of wind.

The fire shines on the ground,

The lowered old Taoist priest seemed to have seen the flames reflected on the ground, raised his head in a hurry, and looked at the swaying flames.

The flames were on the booth, and the old Taoist was burning in front of his eyes.

Looking at the burning flames, the old Taoist opened his mouth, trying to make a sound, but in the end no sound came out.

Just looking at it, the sockets of the eyes gradually turned red, and there were some tears in the fundus of some cloudy eyes.

At this moment,

A gust of strong wind blew by, pressing down on the flames, as if to blow out the cluster of flames,

Somewhat flustered, the old Taoist climbed up from the ground,

He knocked over the stool next to him, and stretched out his hand to protect the cluster of flames.

The flames were blocked from the wind and danced slightly. The flames reflected on the hands of the old Taoist priest protecting the flames. His face was flustered and nervous.

It was reflected in the old Taoist priest's cloudy eyes with some tears.

"This is surgery."

Looking at the cluster of flames guarded by the old Taoist priest, Lian Ge said aloud,

The old Taoist knelt on the ground, raised his head, stretched out his hands, protecting the dancing flames, and stared at it with some bewilderment,

Then gradually let go of his hand.

With some hope in his eyes, he raised his head.

Looking at the old Taoist priest, the flames swaying in mid-air,

Lian Ge raised his hand again, using his magic power, and waved lightly towards the flame.

"This is the law."

Lian Ge said.

The old Taoist looked at the flames more and more hopefully.

Immediately afterwards, the cluster of flames suddenly expanded under the old Taoist's eyes and fell around his body.

The ground was ignited, and the fire rushed to the trees on the street,

All around, it was suddenly turned into a sea of ​​flames.

The old Taoist watched, couldn't help straightening up a bit, followed closely, and knelt down slowly again,

Just raised his head and looked around.

Seemingly consumed by flames, the streets disappeared.

Looking around, as far as the eye can see, there is only a sea of ​​flames swaying, and in the sea of ​​flames, this booth.

Outside the booth, in the sea of ​​flames, clusters of flames were burning on the ground, and flames were also moving in the air.

The fire whistled along with the gusts of wind, or sprang up, or was swept by the wind, merged into the side flames, or entered the previous flames, slightly beating and moving.

The sea of ​​fire roared, burning the sky and burning the ground.

The old Taoist priest kneeling in front of the booth straightened up, raised his head, and looked at the burning sea of ​​fire.

The eye sockets became redder, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't make any sound.

The monstrous flames burning in the sea of ​​fire reflected the old Taoist's face, body, and eyes.

Looking at it, the old Taoist body was trembling, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand,

It seemed that they wanted to catch clusters of flames swaying in the sea of ​​fire outside the booth.

The hand with wrinkled skin and deformed knuckles is close to clusters of burning fire,

Some flames seemed to radiate some warmth, while others were burning hot and scorching around.

The old Taoist stretched out his hand and grabbed it,

The hand passed through the flames, leaving only some residual heat still attached to the hand.

A little dazed, looking at his hands, then raised his head, the old Taoist stared at the sea of ​​flames outside the booth.

Raising his hand again, Lian Ge waved lightly in front of him.

followed by

In the eyes of the old Taoist, the roaring sea of ​​flames suddenly shrank, as if they were converging and shrinking,

Then it turned into a cluster of flames swaying slightly with the gusts of breeze above the booth.

Outside the booth, there is still a quiet street,

A little farther away, those who hadn't left yet, the vendors with stalls stood behind the stalls, looked along the street, and turned back to work again.

A gust of wind blows by, rolling up a leaf that fell on the street, and then falls in the distance again,

The branches and leaves of the trees on the street were shaking slightly, and the shadows of the old Taoist priest were cast by the lights of the street lamps.

The Taoist robes he was wearing shook slightly,

The old Taoist knelt on the ground, turned around, looked at the street,

Turning around again, raising his head, he looked at the swarming flames on the booth.

The flames swayed and danced with the breeze, and fell to the ground. The old Taoist's face reflected some fire light.

Some were in a daze, reflecting the firelight, and the old Taoist was a little dazed, looking at the clusters of flames.

Looking at the old Taoist priest kneeling on the ground with his head raised,

Lian Ge turned his gaze away again, and looked a little farther away, a few people hurriedly walked through the street, reflecting the river surface with lights from houses in the distance.

Looking away again, Lian Ge raised his hand, and waved lightly towards the cluster of flames dancing with the gusts of breeze.

followed by

In the eyes of the old Taoist who was staring blankly at the cluster of flames, the cluster of flames seemed to suddenly enlarge again.

Chapter 808 In Fire

Kneeling in front of the booth,

The old Taoist raised his head, looking at the cluster of fire that seemed to suddenly magnify before his eyes,

Some stared blankly, watching.

In front of him, the cluster of fire did not turn into a sea of ​​flames, but through the cluster of fire, scenes seemed to emerge in front of his eyes.

……

"Crackling..."

The firewood burning in the stove made a slight crackling sound, and the burning fire danced in the stove.

In a family's house.

A child held a tongs, adding firewood to the stove,

An old lady lifted the lid of the pot on the stove,

"...Grandma, what shall we have for dinner tonight?"

The child raised his head and asked the old lady crisply,

"...Eat glutinous rice balls, it's the Lantern Festival."

The old lady responded with a smile, turned around, picked up the wrapped glutinous rice balls, and poured them into the pot.

"……Um!"

The child nodded heavily,

Immediately afterwards, a mobile phone rang in the front room,

"...it should be dad and the others calling back, grandma, I'm going to answer the phone..."

Putting down the tongs, the child was a little happy, and ran towards the front room.

The old lady put the plate of glutinous rice balls on the side, smiled and watched the child run away, then picked up a piece of firewood and put it in the stove,

"...Grandma, it's Dad who called back... They told you Happy Lantern Festival..."

The picture faded away, and the child seemed to be holding the phone and ran into the stove again, with some happy shouts getting closer.

……

"... Teacher Xun, Xu Si and I came to see you."

In front of a grave, two children squatted, talking to the grave,

Clutching some paper money in his hand, a cluster of flickering flames with some smoke was burning on the pile of paper money in front of the grave,

In front of the grave, there are still many burnt candles, incense, piles of ashes of paper money,

"...Today is the Lantern Festival... Mom said that the Lantern Festival is a day of reunion, and it should be lively... I don't know if you are busy there, Mr. Xun, Xu Si and I will come to see you It's..."

The girl squatted in front of the grave, and put the paper money on the pile of burning paper money,

"...Ms. Xun, it was Chen Ya who missed you, that's why she came to see you. I missed you too, Mr. Xun..."

When the boy said the first half of the sentence, the girl couldn't help but glared at him, a little annoyed, listening to the boy's second half, watching the boy lower his head a little bit,

"...My dad said that we should eat glutinous rice balls during the Lantern Festival... When the glutinous rice balls were cooked, I secretly filled a bowl and brought them to Mr. Xun. I don't know if it's cold or not... There shouldn't be any... Teacher Xun, try it..."

The boy took a bowl of glutinous rice balls from the side, and the bowl was still overflowing with some heat, and put it in front of the grave.

"...Xu Si, go over there, I want to talk to Teacher Xun alone!"

"……what?"

"...you go!"

"……Oh."

The boy jerked up, ran away to the side, looked back at the girl, saw the girl looking over, turned back quickly, and looked down the mountain.

"...Mr. Xun, it's almost the end of the new year...Mr. Xun, you seem to have been gone for a long time..."

"...Mom and Dad have agreed for me to go to the town to study in junior high school, and they didn't touch the money you left me, Mr. Xun, and added some to it... After the Chinese New Year, I will go to the town to study ...and then go to junior high school in the town..."
