I really don't want to be a teacher

The old man remained silent for a while, looking at the smiling boy in the photo in his hand, his hands trembled even more, and he continued speaking aloud,

"... There was a lot of quarreling. One of the couple pulled Xiao Xun to let him go, and the other made him go... Xiao Xun didn't know what to do, so he just stood there..."

"...the two of them just left after arguing, and didn't take Xiao Xun to visit the zoo again... Xiao Xun followed behind them and went home... that whole day, he just took pictures of this at the gate of the zoo. a photo……"

The old man hunched over, trembling slightly, standing, looking at the photo tightly held in his hands, standing in front of the gate of the zoo, a boy who seemed to be smiling happily at his parents taking pictures,

While talking, the old man gradually fell silent again.

……

"...After that, Xiaoxun's parents, the couple, quarreled more and more. Arguing about the children, about the house...it seemed like they were arguing every day...I gave Xiaoxun When I called, it seemed that I could hear it... Sometimes they quarreled violently, and they threw things and smashed things... Xiao Xun hid in the bedroom by himself, hiding under the quilt... Then Son, Xiaoxun is only seven years old."

Looking at the smiling grandson in the photo, the old man continued,

"...And then, when Xiaoxun was about eight years old, the two finally couldn't go on anymore... After another quarrel in the house, they got divorced. When they divorced, Xiaoxun was alone Hiding in the house...call me and don't speak."

Raising his head again, the old man bent his back, stood, paused, and then continued to speak,

"...On that day, a few days after the couple got divorced...it was almost noon when eating, my son drove Xiao Xun to my place. Stopped the car, took the child out of the car Come up and talk to me a few words, let me take care of Xiaoxun for a while, leave Xiaoxun with me, and then drive again..."

"... Xiao Xun got out of the car, and it's not the same as before. He buried his head, held his things, and didn't speak. When he got out of the car, he stood beside the car and didn't move..."

"... When his father was driving the car and was about to leave again, he raised his head, took a few steps towards the car, and stopped again, watching his father drive farther and farther away, without any hesitation. Make a sound again, and bury your head down little by little..."

"... I took him into the house, and he walked behind me. I talked to him, but he didn't answer or speak... At noon, I cooked some sausage and bacon for him, and he didn't say anything. how to eat……"

"...After spending a long time with me, I gradually got better... But I still don't talk much, and I don't tell me about things in school, things about my classmates, things I encountered... When I asked him to go out with me, he just followed me, buried his head, and didn't speak... When he was free, he just sat under the eaves..."

The old man was talking, then lowered his head, looking at the photo in his hand,

"... At the beginning, his parents would come to see him every once in a while... Most of the time, when facing his parents, he still didn't talk much... It's just that every time his father When Mom left...he stood in the yard, watching his parents go further and further away, and then buried his head little by little..."

"... Later, slowly, the time between his parents' visits became longer and longer... At the beginning, he came back once a week, and then slowly, half a month, a month, a few days He only comes once a month...and...after that, his parents don't come here very often..."

"...After that, Xiao Xun would sometimes run out..."

The old man looked at the photo in his hand, fell silent for a while, and then continued,

"... Most of the time, it's the weekend. When I came to the school in the city to pick him up, he disappeared... Before long, he would come back by himself..."

"...That time, on weekends, I went to work in the field, but he didn't follow me, he was alone in the house... When I came back, he disappeared...I couldn't find it everywhere... ...I found out about his village after asking in the village... I hurried to find him... Along the road, I ran, searched, and asked... Finally, it was evening, and I found him on the road... He had already I was walking back... with my head buried, and I didn't speak..."

"...I looked at him, didn't ask him, just walked back with him..."

Chapter 826 Where Can He Go?

"...When I got home, I called his parents to say that the child was found."

"... On the other end of the phone, his parents asked Xiao Xun why he ran out, and where he went after running out for so long... Xiao Xun didn't speak, and just kept his head buried... until his father taught him and yelled at him. He still didn't talk when he was talking... I persuaded his father, and didn't let him talk anymore, and I didn't say much to Xiaoxun..."

Holding the photo, the old man looked at the boy in the photo, fell silent for a while, and then said aloud,

"... After that, Xiao Xun ran out of the house a few times... When he got back, his parents asked him where he was, but he didn't say... He didn't let him run around, and he didn't Make a sound..."

"...I probably know a little bit about where Xiaoxun wants to go when he runs out... It's not what his parents said, he ran around... It's just that every time he finds him, he's not very happy and keeps his head buried. , and don't say much..."

While talking, the old man looked at the photo in his hand, paused again, raised his head, and then continued,

"... At the beginning, the child couldn't be found. When he disappeared, his parents would help find a way... After a few times, his parents became a little impatient... I will call my son again. When the phone said that Xiao Xun couldn't find him, he always told me to leave me alone, Xiao Xun insisted on running out, running around, and he would come back by himself..."

As he spoke, the old man slowly lowered his head, looking at the trembling photo in his hand,

"...and then, this time..."

The old man looked at the boy in the photo, stretched out his thumb and gently stroked the boy's face in the photo,

"... Xiao Xun walked out of the house... and never came back..."

"...It's been two days..."

Whispering, the voice gradually lowered, the old man fell silent again, looking at the boy in the photo, his eyes gradually turned red,

His bent body trembled slightly.

……

Listening to the old man's narration, Lian Ge turned his eyes, and then looked to the side, standing with his back bent, looking at the old man holding the photo in his hand,

Withdrawing his gaze again, he glanced along the street towards the distance.

At this moment, a bus turned around from a slightly distant corner and approached the bus stop.

Gradually stopped in front of the bus platform and opened the door.

"Let's go, old man."

With a calm tone, Lian Ge said something aloud, moved his foot away, and walked towards the stopped bus.

The old man looking at the photo in his hand heard the sound, raised his head, and looked towards the bus.

In front of the bus, there is a sign of the driving route, bus No. 15.

Somewhat in a hurry, he squeezed the photo in his hand tightly, and the old man hunched over and followed.

……

There were not many passengers in the car.

It seemed a little empty.

After getting in the car, Lian Ge casually found a seat by the window and sat down.

Following Lian Ge, some old people hurriedly boarded the bus, stood up again, and sat down in the empty seat next to Lian Ge.

Bent body, the old man sat, looked at the distance in front of the car, then lowered his head, looking at the photo in his hand,

"...The day before yesterday, in the afternoon, I took Xiao Xun to pick some vegetables in my field. I said that in the evening, I would fry them with some dried bacon during the Chinese New Year. Xiao Xun likes to eat this... After picking some vegetables When I got home, I asked Xiaoxun if he would like to eat something else... He raised his head, looked at me, and asked me after a while if I could have glutinous rice balls... The other day, during the Lantern Festival At that time, glutinous rice balls were cooked in the house, and I thought he might like to eat them. It was so rare that he said he wanted to eat something, so I agreed...I filled some glutinous rice flour and went to the kitchen to knead the dough...He was just like usual , sitting outside, under the eaves..."

The old man was silent for a while, looking at the boy in the photo in his hand, and then continued speaking,

"...I was busy in the kitchen, cooked and cut the bacon, wrapped the glutinous rice balls, boiled water... I thought, it's time to ask Xiao Xun to have dinner... and left the house When I came out... I saw no one outside the house... I wasn't in the yard, I didn't sit under the eaves, and I couldn't see anyone on the road in the village... I was afraid that something might happen, so I hurried out of the house , along the way in the village, looking all the way, asking the neighbors in the village if they saw it... At that time, some people in the village were busy making dinner in the house... It was cold at that time, and there were not many people outside. People... asked all the way, but they said they didn't see it..."

"...I walked out of the village... there is only a road outside the village. One side is next to the mountain, and the other side is a cliff.

It was almost dark at that time, and there were no buses passing by, only some cars passed by every now and then... I thought, it didn't take long... I hurried along the road to find... ... shouted all the way... but couldn't find it..."

"... I don't know where Xiaoxun has gone. You said it's already so late, there is no car to sit on the road, how far can he go, where can he go as a baby..."

As the old man spoke, his whole body trembling even with the hand holding the photo, and the hand holding the photo seemed to become more and more tense.

His eyes gradually turned red, he turned his head and looked at Lian Ge, his eyes were pleading, and he asked again,

"... You said he was a baby, that night, where could he go, where could he go... There was only one road, with mountains on one side and cliffs on the other, where he could go, his baby could go How far to go..."

The eyes seemed to be pleading, looking at Lian Ge, seemed to be asking Lian Ge, and seemed to be just asking himself, the eye sockets became more red.

He seemed to want to hear Lian Ge give an affirmative answer.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the old man with hunched waist, raised head, and reddened eyes, and said nothing.

Looking at Lian Ge, the old man gradually turned around again, lowered his head,

"...I followed that road, searching all the way, shouting all the way...I found it in the middle of the night, and when I reached the edge of the city, I couldn't, I couldn't see Xiao Xun...I don't know where he went, I can't find it anywhere..."

The old man lowered his head, looking at the boy who was holding the photo tightly in his hands, his eyes were getting redder and his whole body was trembling,

"...When I was walking back, I was still wondering if it was because Xiao Xun didn't run out, but was actually somewhere in the house, and if Xiao Xun came out, he went back a long time ago, and was already waiting for me to go back inside the house eat rice balls……"

"...When I got back to the house, from a long distance away, I saw that the light in the house was still dark... Xiao Xun didn't come back, Xiao Xun lost him..."

"...I called the police...and then called his parents..."

"...didn't sleep much all night... the next day, when the sky started to light up, I came out of the village again, searched along the road, asked along the road... I kept asking in the urban area, but no one was there. I know...no one saw..."

"...Today, Xiao Xun has been lost for two days... You said it's been so cold these past two days... He doesn't have any money on him... Where did he sleep at night... What to eat... just such a big baby, what do you think, how can he stand it..."

As the old man spoke, his eyes turned red,

Some turbid tears rolled out of the eyes, dripped on the photo, and then fell to the ground along the photo,

"...It's been two days outside...how, how can he stand it..."

Whispering, the old man stretched out his hand and stroked the boy's face on the photo tightly held in his hand, saying it over and over again.

And this time,

The bus that passed four platforms gradually stopped at the fifth platform.

Chapter 827 Take Him Home

"...Heyuan Community is here, passengers who have to get off, please get off through the back door."

The bus slowly stopped in front of another platform, and the front and rear doors reopened.

Glancing at the old man with red eyes and rubbing the photo in his hand, Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked out of the car window, stood up,

Hearing the arrival reminder sounded on the bus, the old man bent over and looked at the photo in his hand, slowly raised his head and looked out the window.

"Let's go, old man."

Moving his foot away again, Lian Ge looked outside the car and walked down the car.

The old man looked out the car window, listened to Lian Ge's words, bent his back again, got up again, and walked slightly staggeringly.

Holding the photo in his hand, he also got out of the car.

……

After getting off the bus, the bus started slowly and drove towards the distance.

In front of the bus stop, some pedestrians walked by from time to time.

Not far from the bus license plate, next to it is the gate of a community.

Turning his gaze, he glanced at the community where some people came in and out from time to time, Lian Ge moved his feet away and walked towards the gate of the community.

Next to him, the old man bent his back, raised his head, and looked towards the neighborhood not far away.

Immediately following, also hastily followed.

……

"... cluck cluck... Be good, baby, be good..."

At the gate of the community, parents with their children come in and out from time to time, or let their children drag them forward, or coax their babies who are still in their infancy.

Lian Ge moved his feet, listening to some voices mixed in his ears, and walked towards the gate of the community.

Beside him, the old man who was walking towards the neighborhood bent his waist and raised his head, looking into the neighborhood,

The closer we got to this community, the more tightly the hand of the old man watching the community held the photo in his hand,

The slightly staggering pace slowed down more and more, and the eye sockets became more red.

Walking to the gate of this community, Lian Ge stopped, listening to the voices of some passers-by, then turned his gaze to the old man beside him,

The old man also stood still, bent his body, raised his head, and looked into the community through the gate of the community.

His whole body was trembling slightly, and the photo he was holding tightly in his hand also trembled slightly,

The old man's eye sockets became more and more red, and the fundus of his eyes was somewhat cloudy. Tears gushed out of the eye sockets, and dripped down on the ground. On the back of his hand, along the back of his hand, along the photo in his hand, to Flowing on the ground.

"The old man should already know where your grandson is."

Looking at the old man, Lian Ge said something, then turned his gaze, and looked into the community through the gate of the community.

The old man squatted, raised his head, and looked into the community.

His whole body was trembling even more, his mouth was slightly opened, and some turbid tears poured out from his eye sockets and dripped down,

"...Xiao Xun, doll..."

The old man opened his mouth and made some noises,

Moving at a slightly staggering pace, holding the photo in his hand tightly, he walked into the community.

Glancing at the old man, and then at the gate of the community, there are some names in scrawled handwriting that are the same as those on the note carefully carried in the old man's pocket.

Moving his foot away again, and walking beside the old man, Lian Ge walked into the community.
