Hades system

On the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there was nothing to do and nowhere to go, and Bai Ziren and Du Fuling, who had just established a relationship, were sitting boredly watching TV together.

The weather outside was very cold, so Bai Ziren gave all his employees a holiday.During the Chinese New Year, even snakes, mice, rats and ants don't like to go out, let alone people, so after a brief exchange and discussion, the two finally decided to cherish the holiday and stay at home.

At this moment, the two of them were sitting on the sofa together, with Bai Ziren leaning back expressionlessly, and Du Fuling clung to him like an octopus.The two usually had no special communication, but occasionally Du Fuling would suddenly peel a walnut or something and stuff it into Bai Ziren's mouth, and then the two of them would simply say a few words.

"Is it delicious? (⊙v⊙)"

"En =="

"It's delicious, give me a kiss (^o^)/~"

"=3="

In view of the fact that young couples who have just met are always a little tired, so even the two of them are unconventional.

A greasy youth idol drama is playing on the TV in front of you. The male and female protagonists have a dispute. The girl is crying and about to rush into the fish pond to commit suicide. To die, and when the two finally sank slowly into the bottom of the sea amidst a magical special effect, Du Fuling finally couldn't bear to change a program.

"Why are the current TV dramas so unnutritive? It's better to die if you're in such a bad relationship... Sigh, it's been a bit unlucky to cry and make trouble for so many years, why don't we just put a disc... ..."

Standing up from the sofa, Du Fuling muttered and put the plate of nuts in Bai Ziren's hand, stepped on soft slippers, and ran to the side of the DVD player.Randomly rummaged through a few CDs in the drawer, all kinds of messy ones seemed to be bought by him and Bai Ziren before, and when he saw a CD cover that seemed familiar, he was taken aback for a moment, then But I really wanted to vaguely remember something in my mind.

"Have you chosen? What are you looking at?"

Bai Ziren's faint voice sounded behind him, and Du Fuling, who was thinking about it, came back to his senses. He took out the disc in his hand and stuffed it into the machine, then trotted back to Bai Ziren's side, and after thinking about it, he opened his mouth and said ,

"I think this movie should be a romance movie, but it looks a bit like a ghost movie... well, and I always feel that this CD looks familiar to me."

Hearing the words, Bai Ziren glanced at Du Fuling inexplicably, not understanding what he meant, but before he could speak, the TV in front of him suddenly made a strange movement, accompanied by horrifying music, blood everywhere At the beginning of the splash, a female ghost in a red wedding dress suddenly landed on the TV screen, and then began to struggle to get out of the TV while crying.

"Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!"

The female ghost cried and yelled. Along with her scream, a series of corresponding Chinese and English subtitles flashed under the TV, and when half of her body was about to crawl out of the TV, sitting in Bai Ziren Du Fuling beside him finally woke up from the shock, and shouted at Bai Ziren beside him with a broken face.

"What is this... what is this!!! Sadako!!! No!! The July and a half love story I promised!! I thought it was a love movie!!"

"..."

Helplessly looking at the blood on the floor and the female ghost who was about to climb out of the TV, Bai Ziren really wanted to tell Du Fuling that he actually bought this ghost movie from a vendor in the ghost market. , Du Fuling has long forgotten what happened several years ago, and now the female ghost is about to crawl out, and the floor is still stained with blood, Bai Ziren thought for a while calmly, and then held the remote control in Du Fuling's hand He took it over and turned off the TV with a snap.

The horrifying scene disappeared suddenly, but the female ghost was stuck in the TV and could not get up or down. Bai Ziren looked at Du Fuling who was beside him with a pale face, hooked the corner of his mouth imperceptibly, and then pressed the Flick the switch.

"Ouch!!!!"

The picture resumed again, and the female ghost struggled again, but as soon as she moved, Bai Ziren turned off the TV, and when she moved again, Bai Ziren turned on the TV again. Following the female ghost's movements, Du Fuling's expression was also very strange. Wonderful, but after several times of tossing, when the stuck female ghost couldn't make any other sound except whimpering, Bai Ziren turned on the TV as if he had finally had enough fun, and then said to the female ghost lightly,

"Thank you for your hard work, go back and rest."

"Woooooooooooooo-"

Nodding her head without daring to speak out, the female ghost was so depressed that she was tricked, she immediately lost all care, and climbed back into the TV. Overwhelmed, he immediately understood that Bai Ziren must have done it on purpose.

"You're boring! Boring! Boring!"

Angrily pinching Bai Ziren's neck, Du Fuling was ashamed, and could only vent her anger on the person in front of her, while Bai Ziren just let the beating with an innocent face. Then he touched the remote control under his body, the TV was turned on again, and after a flash, the normal TV channel was restored. A host of the city's evening news appeared on the TV, and a deep and serious voice rang out .

But at the moment when he heard the host's words, Bai Ziren, who was still talking to Du Fuling, suddenly raised his head because of a familiar name. Immediately afterwards, he saw a picture that seemed to him to be Some distant and unfamiliar faces.

"A young teacher who has stayed in the mountains for many years and is unwilling to leave for the sake of the children... Now her life is coming to an end. She used to be a city girl in her prime, but now she is lying on a hospital bed bearing the burden of fate Torture. We don’t know her name, but in the future, her name will be remembered in our hearts forever... She is the protagonist we will introduce in this issue——Fang Xiaoya, a mountain teacher.”

Fang Xiaoya was knitting on the hospital bed, her eyebrows were lowered, and there was no hair on her head due to chemotherapy, but her expression was soft and serene.

She used to have beautiful long hair. At that time, she loved to dress up and be beautiful. She lived a comfortable and happy life every day. The only thing that could make her feel frustrated was her feelings. But now, she is sitting alone in a pale ward, giving Own bald head knitting a hat.

She asked her parents to go home first. Although the two old people were heartbroken, since they learned of her illness, his parents have been running around, seeking medical advice. Unfortunately, bone marrow matching is a matter of Fate, the old couple was full of hope from the beginning to now full of disappointment. Sometimes, Fang Xiaoya herself felt that they were really tired.

She knew that her life was coming to an end, and although the torment of the disease was painful, it was not enough to defeat her, but the feeling that her life was about to disappear was still a bit sentimental.

She used to be so afraid of death, but now, that feeling doesn't seem so strong anymore.In the past few years, she has been working hard every day, and it seems that only those days can make her feel peaceful from the bottom of her heart.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, when will you come back... We, we are all waiting for you to come back! My mother's freshly dried yams are delicious. I have already put them in the small window of your office. You must remember to take it when you come back..."

"Teacher! I'm Dabao! I let it go and I let it go too! But I won't tell you what it is haha! Guess what it is, it's my favorite food, I'm not even willing to eat it, it's all up to you, teacher The door is open!"

Last night, when I used the phone in the ward to call the village, the words that my students said to her in an immature and ignorant tone seemed to still be in my ears.Fang Xiaoya's eyes were a little red, and she could imagine how those simple and kind children carefully put the sun-dried mountain products at their door, waiting for her to go back to teach them.

However, she couldn't tell the cruel truth... She was dying, she was dying.

In the past days and nights, the days in the mountains were peaceful and fulfilling.

It was a barren and backward small village in the northernmost part of China, with mountains stretching thousands of miles without even a decent road.

This village doesn't exist on any map, and most of the villagers don't even speak Mandarin.

They have been poor for generations and lived by digging mountain goods. There is not a decent school in the whole village, and many children do not know a single word.

But the day Fang Xiaoya came here, the first time the simple villagers saw her, they knelt down at the entrance of the village together, kowtowed heavily to her while crying.

No one wanted to come, so Fang Xiaoya came.No one wanted to do it, but Fang Xiaoya did it.

His parents were outraged that she had given up everything in the city and insisted on going to that unknown remote village.They thought that their daughter was being self-willed again, and the emotional blow caused her mental problems, so she made such an impulsive and ridiculous decision.And only Fang Xiaoya knew that on that night many years ago, she owed a debt.

No one else knew about the existence of this debt, but she was the one who owed it, and the one who owed it was a mysterious young man whose face she could no longer remember.

Fang Xiaoya, who was once stupid enough to choose to commit suicide and give up her own life, got her own life back, but she still has to use the rest of her life to repay the mistakes she made.

From the fear and guilt at the beginning to the sincere gratitude and love now, Fang Xiaoya doesn't know when she was sincerely satisfied with everything she did, maybe when she saw the muddy tears in the villagers' eyes Maybe it was when she saw the children sitting at the desk made of bricks and bed boards. In short, when Fang Xiaoya realized that she seemed to have gradually forgotten what life in the city was like, she was already in this small village. Lived for a long time.

Every day, she would get up very early.The school she lives in is a small one-story house next to the village committee, and it is also the only tidy tiled house in the village.

After five o'clock, her students would rush over one after another from several nearby villages. Most of these children were under ten years old, and some of them could not even afford a pair of shoes at home, but they braved the heavy rain regardless of the weather. On a snowy day, I walked for a long time without falling and came here for class.

They would call her teacher in very poor Mandarin, and secretly give her some food that they are reluctant to eat with their dirty little hands. The hair is limp.

But one morning, Fang Xiaoya called the children's names, but found that a girl named Xiaochun in the class hadn't come today, and when she asked about other children, and everyone said they didn't know, her heart sank suddenly. .

Li Xiaochun, a child raised by a mentally handicapped old man, his parents both went out to work, and he has not been back to the village for five or six years.

In Fang Xiaoya's impression, this girl named Xiaochun has a pair of very bright big eyes, dark skin, thin, but very hardworking.

She would bring the eggs at home to make breakfast for Fang Xiaoya, and said in a yearning tone that she would go to the big city to find her parents and treat her grandpa's illness. class notes, and when she received the pencil from Fang Xiaoya, she would even hide and cry secretly.

This little girl is only seven years old, but she has to do farm work that an adult may not be able to do every day. She has to get up at three or four o'clock to make breakfast for her grandfather, and then rush to the school on the mountain road.

Although the journey is far away, she has never been late for a day, and even most of the time, she comes earlier than other children.

Where did she go... Did she not come because of something at home?

Thinking in this way, Fang Xiaoya settled the other children with a nervous heart, and then hurriedly followed the mountain road to find the mountain.

The night before, it had just rained in the mountains, the ground was slippery and the sky was very dark.Fang Xiaoya kept looking, kept looking, shouting while searching, the mountain was empty and eerily quiet, and it was only when Fang Xiaoya was going crazy after searching for almost four hours that she came from a place on the mountain. At the bottom of the slope, I found Xiaochun who was drenched and had no breath.

There was a big hole in Xiaochun's head, and the blood flowed all over the floor. On her wet face, she couldn't see where was the tear and where was the water. She was lying there with bare feet, motionless. Fang Xiaoya, who was frightened by this scene, With a cry of pain, she ran over and wanted to hug her, but when she touched the child's body, she found that the still silent child was holding a half-folded pencil in his hand, and her Everything else was placed beside the path above the slope.

She came to school as usual, but fell to her death on the rainy road in order to pick up the pencil that she cherished so much and was reluctant to use.

Fang Xiaoya, who suddenly burst into tears, hugged the little girl's body tightly with tears all over her face. Her mind was full of the words Li Xiaochun had said to her before she was alive, but there seemed to be a big hole in her heart, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't mend it.

The bright future this girl yearned for has yet to come, and she hasn't had time to change her unfortunate fate. Li Xiaochun's miserable life has already come to an end, and Fang Xiaoya...is even powerless to change anything.

She wrapped the lifeless little girl in her coat and sent her back to her home, crying.On the long mountain road, Fang Xiaoya was wrestling while walking. She couldn't believe that this was the only way a child had to walk every day. When she finally reached the girl's village, everyone in the village heard Fang Xiaoya's words. When Ya ran out to look at her crying, she saw that the young female teacher's face was covered with bruises, but she was still tightly holding the dead child in her arms, unwilling to let go.

Li Xiaochun died, and her grandfather stared blankly at the bewildered expression of her granddaughter's corpse covered in a straw mat, which made Fang Xiaoya's heart throb so badly.

She forced herself not to think about it, she wanted to stop crying cowardly, but three days later, when she learned from the village cadres that the old man hanged himself on the beam of his house in the middle of the night , she still couldn't hold back her tears again.

It's too painful, really too painful.

Fang Xiaoya didn't know how to describe it, but her heart was numb as if she had chewed Coptis chinensis.

She used to think that she was the most unfortunate person in the world, but now, just seeing a corner of the world, she was almost driven crazy.

She couldn't help but think about the girl named Xiaochun, but in this village, in this mountain, there are many Xiaochun, she used to just want to teach them some simple knowledge, but now, she is more I want to change the fate of these children like Xiaochun.

"Teacher Fang... don't be sad... It's common for us to lose people... The mountain road is not safe, and there are adults and children who fall to death on rainy days. It's not your fault, so don't worry too much Yes I do……"

The simple old village chief comforted Fang Xiaoya while smoking his pipe. Fang Xiaoya smiled and nodded, but still paid for the old and the young to build a grave and bury it.

But that kind of anxiety still followed her like a scar that would never heal. She was still teaching and accompanying these children, but some things seemed to be different.

In the past, she felt that it was her duty to stay here, but now she felt that it was her responsibility.

At first she just wanted to stay in this village for a while, but gradually, the time to go home was delayed longer and longer, and one day, after class, she said goodbye to the children one by one, but saw the elderly parents standing When she cried and looked at her outside the small bungalow, she finally realized... She seemed a little reluctant to leave this village that was not worth being attached to, but made her reluctant to part with it.

"Tell me... why are you so cruel? I took the train with your father all night and walked so far to find this place...Xiaoya, why don't you go home with us? I was thinking about Zhang Wei and Li Wei, okay..."

Her mother's earnest voice was right next to her ears. Fang Xiaoya sat on her narrow wooden bed and glanced at her mother helplessly. The rough face that had been hit by the wind and frost was no longer sad and angry, but It is full of softness and indifference.

"Mom, I can't go back...I'm needed here, and I can't leave here. I didn't come here because of relationship problems, and I won't leave here because it's not so ideal...I have feelings for these children. responsibility……"

"What responsibility do you have! What happens here has nothing to do with you? Leave the road paved for you by your father and don't go! How can you rest assured me when you come to this kind of place!"

Angrily interrupting Fang Xiaoya's words, her mother looked at her like she was looking at a lunatic.And her father suddenly asked a question when Fang Xiaoya looked down at the barren mountains outside the window.

"Xiaoya, how are you doing here?"

"I'm fine here, every day is fine."

Nodding with a smile, Fang Xiaoya looked at her father who stood in front of her, whom she had unreasonably contradicted countless times, only to find that the tall and healthy father in her memory was already old, but the eyes he looked at her were full of joy. Forgiving and loving.

"Then do what you want, as long as it is right, your parents will always support you. If you feel bitter and tired one day, come back, you will always be a good daughter of your parents...you let me We are proud."

……

How many years of strict father bowed his head at this moment, his gray hair is so dim, but also so affectionate.

Fang Xiaoya, who insisted on staying, sent away her compromising parents and stayed in this village.

She continued to teach these children and told them some positive and positive things as much as she could. She told them about Dong Quan'an and told them that there is such a good person in the world who makes people feel ashamed. , she would go to the mountains by herself to pick up some stones and pile them in the backyard of the school, silently looking at the mountains in the distance in a daze.

She wants to build a road here, and use her hands to create an easy way for the children to walk out.

This road is not only walked on the feet, but also in the heart.

She wanted to tell the children to let them go out, but until the third year, when a student from the only key middle school in the village in the past 60 years finally appeared in her class, Fang Xiaoya looked at herself in the mirror. Look, finally smiled sincerely.

There are enough stones in the back yard, and the little girl who was once ignorant has grown up. In the spring, she can take her students to pave these difficult mountain roads little by little. .

Although the process would definitely be very hard, Fang Xiaoya didn't care. Her hands became rougher and her heart gradually became stronger.She was no longer afraid of anything, even the debt that had given her countless nightmares no longer frightened her.

But one day, she suddenly felt that her body had undergone some very bad changes. With the appearance of physical strength and various pre-stage diseases, Fang Xiaoya finally had to find time to go to the town hospital to register a number, but as expected It was nothing serious but she met the doctor's hesitant eyes, and when she fainted again due to lack of energy, and when the people in the village were sent to the big hospital in the city, Fang Xiaoya who woke up again was waiting for her. A report of a diagnosis of leukemia.

……

Is it finally time to pay off my debt?

It turns out... until the end, I didn't pay it off.

The woolen hat in her hand has already been knitted. This stitch was taught to her by the nurse who took care of her. The simple ingot stitch is very beautiful.Thinking in this way, Fang Xiaoya, with red eyes, picked up the hat and compared it to her bald head. The mirror on the bedside table reflected her puffy and deformed face. She tried to smile, but the tears still flowed down. The delicate cheeks dropped.

In the past, she was afraid of death because she knew how terrible death was.

Now, she is afraid of death because she knows how wonderful it is to live.

She has not seen the future of the children, the path in the mountains has not been repaired, and the kindness of the parents has not been repaid. Fang Xiaoya has many worries and reluctance in her heart, but the doctor's words also let her understand that everything There's no hope... there's no hope.

"I don't want to die...I don't want to die..."

Slowly closing her eyes, Fang Xiaoya once again thought of that night many years ago, that night, she saw that ghostly boy, but now, rhythmic footsteps faintly came from her ears, The kicking seemed to fall into people's hearts, Fang Xiaoya who was crying didn't notice that someone had walked into her ward at some point, but when she raised her eyes blankly, she saw a pale face. Indifferent teenage face.

"Hello, Fang Xiaoya, we meet again."
