This road is actually not that far away, but there are mostly mountainous roads, so the driving time is long.
After leaving Chengdu, we drove along the Rongchang Expressway, finally turned onto National Highway 341, and started the winding mountain road.
As the altitude gradually increases, the hillsides in the surrounding areas become more barren and the oxygen content begins to decrease.
As someone who lives at a low altitude for a long time, I also started to experience some slight altitude sickness, but it was not a big problem.
After climbing one mountain after another, we finally arrived.
We set out from Chengdu and didn’t stop much along the way. We only encountered a brief traffic jam and drove for nearly six hours in total.
We set off at eight o'clock in the morning, and it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived.
We parked the car some distance away from the Hope Primary School. Xiaobai got off the car and ran over to me and said, "Brother Chen Feng, did you see the red flag in front of me? That's the Hope Primary School supported by Sister Li."
I have seen it for a long time, but this Hope Primary School is too small, with only two ordinary rooms, and it looks particularly desolate in a large deserted ravine.
"Xiaobai," I called him and asked, "do you know why Huang Li is here to support a Hope Primary School?"
Xiao Bai didn't seem to know much about it. He shook his head and replied: "I don't know much about this. Sister Li didn't tell me this either."
"Okay, let's go over and take a look."
Xiaobai said to me: "Chen Feng, if we go there, Sister Li will probably see you. I think you should not go there. If Sister Li sees you, she will blame me for bringing you here."
."
I didn’t want to embarrass Xiaobai, so I thought about it and said to him: “Well, you go over first, and I’ll take a look outside and make sure she doesn’t find out.”
After Xiaobai was silent for a moment, he nodded and replied: "Okay, but Brother Chen Feng, you must hide well and don't let Sister Li see you, otherwise she will ignore me."
"I know, you go first."
Xiaobai responded and drove off.
After he entered the school, I moved the car to a secluded place and parked it, and then walked to the Hope Primary School.
In order to prevent Huang Li from discovering me, I did not enter the school and only took a look outside.
The layout of the school is really simple. The playground is just a piece of dirt, but the bright red flag is flying in the wind in the middle of the playground.
Next to it are two bungalows and a small cabin made of wood, which is probably a sleeping place.
All in all, this school is much shabbier than I imagined, even shabbier than the Hope Primary School where I went to see Wang Yi before.
But even in this environment, I can still hear the sound of children reading aloud from the classroom.
I also heard Huang Li's voice, she was teaching the children to read.
I followed her voice and quietly walked around to the classroom where she was, lying at the window and carefully looking inside.
It was Huang Li. She was wearing clothes made of plain linen, her hair was tied into a ponytail, and she was holding a book in her hand.
She said something, and the children followed her.
There are not many children in the classroom, only about a dozen. The faces of these children all have a layer of plain plateau red, and each child's body is thin and small.
This picture made me feel a little dazed. I had no idea that the woman in the classroom teaching children how to read was actually Sister Li, who was once popular in all the bars in Chongqing.
I can even remember Huang Li wearing a sexy outfit, standing in the middle of the spotlight, pole dancing.
And the way she wore bright lipstick and a miniskirt while sitting next to me drinking.
Is that her?
At this moment, I had an illusion.
At this moment, Huang Li suddenly stopped, looked at one of the children and asked: "Gawa, what are you looking at? Do you know that you need to pay attention?"
I didn't realize at the time that the child Huang Li was talking about actually discovered me.
It wasn't until he reached out and pointed in my direction that I realized what he was doing and hurriedly ducked down.
Then I heard Gawa's voice coming from the classroom: "Teacher, there is someone outside."
Then Huang Li's voice was heard: "Where is there? Gawa, focus on studying and don't look around."
"Teacher, there is really someone, I saw it."
Then, I heard a set of footsteps approaching the window, and my heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
But just as the footsteps were about to approach the window, Xiaobai's voice suddenly came from inside the classroom: "Sister Li, it's me."
Only then did the footsteps leave the window, and I took a deep breath.
I didn't dare to stay any longer. If Huang Li really found out, even though I was fine, I would have harmed this little guy.
Xiaobai gave me countless warnings not to expose myself.
After leaving the classroom where Huang Li was, I went to a classroom on the other side, where a class was also taking place. It was still a math class, and it was a male teacher.
This teacher looks a bit older, probably fifty years old. His face has a sense of vicissitudes of life, and there is also a thick layer of plateau red on his face. He is probably a local.
There are not many students in the classroom, only about ten students, but the children are still very focused.
I watched for a while and then left. In order not to let Huang Li find out, I had to get back to the car.
I really can't figure out why Huang Li supports this Hope Primary School. Even if she supports it, she is still teaching here.
After a while, Xiaobai sent me a WeChat message and said to me: "Brother Chen Feng, please go back first. Sister Li will leave with me later, so I won't follow you back."
"Okay, by the way, do you know how much loan shark Huang Li owes?"
"Three hundred thousand."
"What about interest?"
"Including interest, the total is three hundred thousand."
Three hundred thousand is nothing to me, so I said without hesitation: "Okay, send me your bank card number and I will transfer it to you later."
"Thank you so much, Brother Chen Feng. The loan sharking issue has always been bothering Sister Li. She was almost caught by those people last time."
"If she wants to ask you where you got your money, what will you say?"
Xiaobai took a while before replying: "I just said that I took on a big job myself and I can earn it."
"Okay, let's keep in touch."
After Xiaobai responded, we ended the conversation.
After waiting for a while, I received the bank card number from Xiaobai, and I immediately transferred 300,000 yuan to him.
After receiving Xiaobai's reply, I opened the navigation and prepared to go home.
As for coming here, I just want to make sure Xiaobai didn't lie to me.
He didn't lie to me, Huang Li really teaches here.
Then he said that the man was suffering from leukemia, and Huang Li chose to borrow a loan shark in order to save him, which is naturally true.
Even though I could just find someone to handle this kind of thing, I just wanted to do it myself just because it was Huang Li’s business.
On the way back, I felt a little uneasy.
I don’t know what Huang Li went through after she was released from prison, and how long has she been released from prison?
I only know that her life must be very difficult now. It can be seen from the place where she and Xiaobai live, and I feel a little uncomfortable.
You know, Huang Li helped me a lot back then, and half of the responsibility for him being imprisoned was actually on me.
But I don't know why, she didn't contact me after she was released from prison, and she even treated me as a stranger.
