Seeing Qin Yu walking into the utility room, Meng Yao followed him, followed by Qin Lan, Chen Guangbiao and Li Yiyi.
After a group of people entered the utility room, Qin Lan and others discovered that the utility room looked much larger than it looked from the outside. The main reason was that the door was too small, narrowing people's line of sight.
An optical illusion is produced.
"Hey, why is there light here?" Qin Lan looked at the ray of light behind the broken tables and chairs and said in surprise.
Old Yang, who was walking at the front, heard Qin Lan's doubts, but did not answer. Instead, he sighed and said, "Come and see for yourselves."
"What are you looking at?" Qin Lan walked quickly to Old Man Yang and looked forward. At this look, she was stunned, as if she had seen something incredible.
"Sister Lan, what's wrong with you?" Meng Yao saw Qin Lan's expression, and her face showed confusion. She also walked past these broken tables and chairs and looked forward. Similarly, Meng Yao's expression also became very strange.
, after a while, he murmured to himself: "Is this a spiritual position?"
In front of Meng Yao, behind the broken tables and chairs, there is a table with a wooden sign and an incense burner placed on it. On both sides of the incense burner, there are a pair of candles.
The light Qin Lan saw was the pair of candles shining through the gap between the damaged tables and chairs.
In a school utility room, there is actually a spiritual tablet enshrined, and it was arranged by a lonely old man. Just saying this is terrifying enough, but this is not the point. For Qin Lan and others, this
What's incredible is that it's still the words on the spiritual throne.
"This is Yiyi's spiritual tablet!" Chen Guangbiao looked very excited because he had clearly seen the three characters Li Yiyi on the spiritual tablet.
In a utility room, there is a spiritual tablet enshrined, and the owner of this spiritual tablet is standing beside them at the moment. Even though Qin Lan is brave, the hair on his body is standing on end at this moment, and goosebumps are everywhere.
As for Li Yiyi himself, he stared blankly at the spiritual tablet that belonged to him, his eyes confused, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Uncle Yang, what is going on? Should you give us an explanation?" Qin Yu turned to old man Yang and asked.
"Aren't you surprised by the news that Teacher Li is dead?" Old Man Yang asked with some surprise when he saw the four men except Qin Yu and Meng Yao who were in a daze.
When he thought about it, these people were all relatives of Teacher Li, so they would be very excited when they saw Teacher Li's spiritual tablets. But now, except for the middle-aged man who was more excited, everyone else in this group seemed to be very excited.
No reaction at all.
"Uncle Yang, to tell you the truth, we were already mentally prepared for this before we came to the village. Yiyi has been missing for more than a year. The most likely reason is that he encountered misfortune. We came here this time
, I just want to find out the truth of the matter." Qin Yu replied.
"So that's it." Old Man Yang accepted Qin Yu's explanation and said after being silent for a while: "As for Teacher Li, let's go out and talk about it. In addition, I have something to give to you."
Old man Yang bowed to Li Yiyi's memorial tablet a few times and walked out of the utility room. Qin Yu looked at the excited Chen Guangbiao, walked up and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Mr. Chen, don't be too excited, let's
I came here this time to investigate the truth behind Miss Yiyi’s death.”
"Mr. Qin, I understand what you mean. To be honest, I still had some illusions in my heart before. After all, the news of Yiyi's death has not been confirmed." Chen Guangbiao showed a bitter smile on his face and pulled Li Li beside him.
Yiyi's hand said, "Let's go, I will control my emotions."
Chen Guangbiao used his attitude to prove to Li Yiyi that no matter you are a human or a ghost, you are still the Yiyi I like.
Qin Yu and his party also quickly left the utility room. Of course, they would not worship Li Yiyi's spirit like Old Man Yang, worshiping the other party's spirit in front of a "real person". This is terrifying to think about.
After leaving the utility room, Old Man Yang locked the door of the utility room again, then walked back to his room, pushed the door open, and let Qin Yu and others in.
"I will tell you everything I know about Teacher Li. In fact, even if you don't come, I plan to tell the villagers the truth about the matter. I want to seek justice for Teacher Li."
After returning to his room, Old Man Yang's whole demeanor changed. Instead of his previous calm look, his face was filled with anger. "These beasts killed a good person like Teacher Li and deserve to be punished by God."
"Uncle Yang, please don't get excited. Speak slowly and tell us everything you know." Qin Yu saw that Old Yang was a little excited and quickly advised.
"Actually, before you guys came, someone had already approached me. They asked me not to say anything about Teacher Li to the outside world, and they even asked people to pretend to be themselves to test me until they felt that I was really scared by them.
You won’t talk nonsense anymore, that’s why you didn’t spy on me.”
Old Man Yang calmed down, with a sarcastic smile on his face, and continued: "It's just that they don't know that when I was in the army, I was a scout in the reconnaissance company. Observing people is my strength. When those people saw
I'm just a fake reporter, I just pretended not to know, so as to dispel their vigilance."
Hearing Old Man Yang's words, Qin Yu's eyes flashed brightly, and he understood that the truth about Li Yiyi's death was about to be revealed.
"Teacher Li is a very kind person. For more than two years, he stayed in the school and taught more than 300 students. It can be said that except for going to the city to collect some donations for the students, the rest of the time was spent idle
In this school.
To be honest, Teacher Li is the only person I admire for so many years. I have been in this school for seven or eight years. I have seen many teachers who have come to teach, but like Teacher Li, I have been here for more than two years.
, and she is the first to do her best. It can be said that Teacher Li regards the students in the school as her own children, either on the way to pick up the children to school, or on the way to ask for donations of materials for the children.
Thanks to Teacher Li's unremitting efforts, the school's situation has improved day by day. Many parents have sent their children to the school. The number of students in the school has grown from a few dozen students from nearby farms to more than 300 students.
Man, this is all thanks to Teacher Li’s traveling everywhere to promote it.
However, there are more students, but the desks are not enough. In addition, the stationery that the children need to go to school is not enough. Some children don't even have a pen, so they pick a kind of fruit from the mountains, smash it, and then smash it.
Red juice stands on the branches and is used to practice calligraphy.
Teacher Li felt very sorry for the children. In order to solve the children's stationery problem, he went to the county and city several times to seek donations. However, our county is a poor county and is not rich to begin with. After several times, the money received from donations was not enough.
not enough.
And just in December of the year before last, Teacher Li came back from the county town, but his face was very ugly. At first, I thought that Teacher Li was anxious because he had not raised donations, so I didn't pay much attention.
But a few days later, several young men came to the school and directly asked Teacher Li by name. They also forced their way into the classroom and interrupted Teacher Li's lecture. By the time I rushed over, the children had already been beaten several times.
A young man was scared away.
…
Under Old Man Yang's narration, Qin Yu and his party fell into silence and listened quietly. Even Li Yiyi himself had the same expression, as if he was listening to someone else's story.
The identities of these young men are quite high. One of them is the son of the leader of a certain bureau in the county. Because when Li Yiyi went to the county to donate money, he happened to need the help of that bureau, so he was given the job by this young man.
Got a fancy for it.
You know, although Li Yiyi's appearance is not as stunning as Meng Yao's, she can still be regarded as a beauty. Coupled with her unique delicate temperament, she is just like Lin Daiyu, making people lovable.
It was under the leadership of that man that these young men came to this mountain village. Originally, it was not a bad thing for Li Yiyi to be liked by gentle ladies and gentlemen, but the key point was that
The son of a director is not a good person. He is a well-known gangster in the county. The largest entertainment venue in the county is controlled by his family.
For such a person, Li Yiyi naturally would not show any pretense and directly rejected him. Likewise, this also angered him and threatened to destroy the school. However, in the end, all of them were dejected.
He ran away for a very simple reason: he was kicked out by Uncle Yang.
Although Uncle Yang is over 50 years old, due to his many years of military career and his regular exercise after retirement, even ordinary strong men are no match for him, let alone a few who only know how to eat, drink and have fun.
The body is a playboy.
After these playboys were driven away by Uncle Yang, the school became quiet again. At first, Uncle Yang was afraid that these people would retaliate, so he watched them at the school every day. He even accompanied Li Yiyi when he sent the children home from school.
.
However, more than a month has passed and nothing has happened. Uncle Yang has also relaxed his vigilance, thinking that the other party will not come again. After all, it takes an hour or two just to walk on the mountain road. These playboys,
You probably don't have this patience.
And it was almost winter vacation, because it was about to be a holiday, so Li Yiyi decided to donate another batch of stationery to the students, because once the holiday was over, the children in the mountains would not have stationery, and it would be impossible for those parents to run for a few hours.
Shanlu buys stationery for children. Li Yiyi has been teaching here for more than two years and already knows this very well.
Therefore, Li Yiyi asked the students for two days' leave. This is also mentioned above. Before Li Yiyi disappeared, she told the children that she was going to buy a batch of stationery for them, and everything was connected.
Li Yiyi left the school with the task of buying stationery for the children. However, after leaving, he completely disappeared and never came back.
[Actually, according to Jiu Deng’s original story outline, Li Yiyi’s story is a very tragic story, but Jiu Deng hesitated for a long time and finally decided to change it.
Perhaps, the tragic story can touch the hearts of readers more and make everyone resonate. This is also the artistic effect of the novel. But Jiu Deng was afraid. A kind and loving girl who supported education eventually fell into a tragic ending. It was really
Is it appropriate?
After asking ourselves, Jiu Deng finally decided to make some changes. Jiu Deng believes that in this world, good people will eventually be rewarded. If even good people in novels are not rewarded, let alone the real society!] (To be continued)
