surname teacher

Chapter 172 Zhou

Renxu year, Xinchou month, Yichou day.

Two days later.

The sixth day of the first month of the Year of the Dog.

At 300 o'clock in the morning, on the Huanshangong [-] meters outside Mugecuo County, at the end of the mysterious mountain surrounded by white snow and miasma, a green cow slowly dragging a cart appeared.

The green ox with a copper ring tied to its nose and kept shaking seems to be the kind of old buffalo commonly seen in the paddy fields of ordinary farmers in terms of walking posture and demeanor.

Except for a lifelike golden eye in the middle of the bald forehead, which seems to be able to blink lightly from time to time, and the crisp sound of rattles when the two front hooves hit the ground, there is nothing particularly unusual place.

As far as the eye can see, behind this magical bullock cart that seems to come from the far side of the mountain, besides the dragging old cart, there is actually a tall and handsome man in a thick winter coat. Young man with white hair.

It's just that this young man who appeared out of nowhere didn't carry much with him, except for this tattered bullock cart that seemed to have been stolen from somewhere, and there seemed to be only a half-opened book next to his hand. Old booklets, and half a bamboo basket of frozen persimmons brought from home two days ago.

And because he was wearing the bamboo hat that the locals often use to keep out the wind and snow, he couldn't see his face clearly at all, so from a distance, he could only hear the sound of the white-haired young man waving his whip from time to time to drive the green bull forward. , and the whispers between him and a little clay figurine beside him who just stole a few persimmons while lying on the edge of the bamboo basket.

【…The surname is Master, when will the two of us reach the village where giants live everywhere? This old cow grandpa has led us along this road for two whole nights. Do you know the way? 】

There seemed to be some doubts in the words, and the coquettish clay doll crawled to Jin Suoyang's ear was obviously aggrieved when she said this, she almost looked at the finger pinched by the mud, and looked at her own driver with teary eyes. The ox cart's surname is teacher.

But I heard that Jin Suoyang, who had been following this route to find the legendary Giant Village since he came out of Fan Village the day before yesterday, didn't say a word, he just looked up at the gradually clear mountain trend in the distance, and He frowned and replied flatly,

"I know, ① Mrs. Li has already said that when he lent it to us from the surname book, his blue cow can take us anywhere we want to go in the world, except for the clouds and the underworld. The extra golden eye can go wherever it can see, so there is definitely no chance of getting lost."

[But...but...]

"And Mrs. Li reminded me that it probably understands what we are talking about, and it is not in a good mood recently. If it gets angry later and directly leaves us and goes back to the book, we will just I can climb to the giant village on my own legs."

【…】

After finishing speaking, Jin Suoyang, who cast a blank expression on his face, glanced at it. As soon as the words fell, the three-eyed blue bull in front who was swaying and walking slowly also rolled his eyes triumphantly and looked at them with a long look. He raised his voice.

But at the moment when the nostrils were turned to the sky, the old cow who had a bad temper because of the cow raised by Li Er was also a little angry, and wanted to raise his head loudly, and the clay doll who went back to counterattack saw this and groaned and groaned. After a long time, it was rare to come back to my head in the end, and I looked up at my teacher Jin who was sure to help the cows and not the relatives, and muttered,

[Yes, the surname is Teacher, you are right, it really...should not get lost very well, but...but, it really walks so slowly, so slowly!Clay doll’s belly is so hungry, Clay doll really misses everyone in Fan Village, Yang Hua, A Bao, and the delicious cooking made by Grandma Fan Xi and Yang Hua’s father... woo woo...]

"..."

[And oh, the surname is teacher, you have to know, Yang...Although Yang Hua's father and we are not going the same way this time!But you also know that he is so powerful!So capable!Now I must have found the right place and started to think of ways to do business...Only the two of us will crawl around here like two snails, and we can't even find where the giant village is... 】

"..."

[Then when Yang Hua's father returns home, we will definitely not be able to go back to Fan Village to have a round with him!Because... at that time, the two of us will still have to crawl back the same way like snails, and then, Yang Hua's father who didn't see anyone will be unhappy, and you definitely don't want to see Yang Hua's father will be unhappy Isn’t that right, my surname is Teacher…]

Originally listening to the words in front of the clay doll, he still had a calm expression and pretended to be deaf and dumb, but when he heard the words behind him intermittently, Jin Suoyang, who frowned because of the word Yang Hua's father would be unhappy, obviously began to think a little unconsciously. stand up.

And it is undeniable that although he and the mud doll only left Fan Village for less than two days because of the "Black Water" incident in the Giant Village, he has already thought about someone many times involuntarily along the way.

After all, that special night left such a deep impression on both of them that at this moment, Jin Suoyang recalled that after the snow fell that day, Qin Gentiana who asked him for a kiss and he had been sitting on the wall watching the snow , talking, until the sky in the distance completely lit up, the white-haired young man's usually cold and indifferent heart still fluctuated unconsciously.

"I used to...actually hate when it starts raining and snowing every year."

"……why?"

"Because some ignorant and ridiculous people think that children born on rainy or snowy days will have a harder life than ordinary people. Although most of the time this old-fashioned statement sounds unreliable, sometimes, it will always be just right. Say it once or twice."

"..."

"And I was the kind of person who happened to be born on a rainy day, which was unlucky, and who happened to be said by those people, so I was unlucky all my life, and I always brought misfortune to those around me."

As if joking casually, Qin Gentian, who squinted his eyes and looked at the sky above his head lazily, turned his face sideways and raised his eyebrows to look at Jin Suoyang after finishing speaking.

And the white-haired young man who was sure he understood what he was saying at that moment frowned at him as if angry at those people's ignorance.

In fact, I have really hated this sentence for many years, and because of this, Qin Gentian, who tried to take revenge on others, suddenly laughed with some relief, and then he closed his eyes and continued with a little comfort, since he seemed to be in a good mood from just now. down the road,

"Like those bedtime stories old people tell their children, a long, long time ago, I was rowing everywhere and couldn't find my mother's food, and then I lost my most precious pearl. As a blind person, I thought that my whole life would be nothing but nothing like the prophecy said, but just now, I suddenly discovered that I am actually very rich.”

"..."

"Even if I die like this in the next second, in my life, at least I have been kissed by someone who said he likes me."

At that moment, I was actually not sure what was going on in Qin Gentian's mind, who was able to utter this strange emotion.

But after hearing clearly what he said, Jin Suoyang felt as if someone had suddenly twisted his heart, and all he could feel was the complex and sour feelings towards the person in front of him.

But then he lowered his head and was silent for a while, and then he looked up at Qin Gentian expressionlessly in this depressing and dull atmosphere that made people very unhappy. Swallowing down the emotions in his heart and frowning, he asked seriously,

"Gentiana."

"……Um?"

"So you just said that my kiss is so bad that you are only willing to try it once in your life and want to die?"

"..."

Knowing that Jin Suoyang, who had a serious tone in front of him, was pretending to be confused or even deliberately misinterpreting what he said, but after a moment of silence, Qin Gentian suddenly lowered his head like a psychopath and laughed loudly. stand up.

And finally covered the crazy smile on his lips with his fingers, and raised his head to restrain himself. This lunatic, like a lunatic, always has good and bad moods, and is always irritable, gloomy and emotional. He tilts his head and stares at his surname Jin thoughtfully. The teacher's Qin Gentian simply approached him slowly, and shook his head as if smiling "sincerely" and replied,

"of course not."

"..."

"What I meant just now is... In fact, as long as a person is willing to kiss me once, I can die for him willingly. As long as that person is willing to kiss me more, I can do my best for him before I die. Anything, if that person is willing to love me for the rest of his life and only kiss me once in his life, it is for him to kill all the people who covet him like me, dig out my heart, cut off my hands and feet, and peel off my bloody skin I am willing to hold it in his hands, this is what I just wanted to express... I said that, does Master Jin understand?"

"..."

This kind of "affectionate confession" is like a "affectionate confession" that can only be said by a psychopath, but any normal person who hears it in the middle of the night will probably have the illusion of hell.

But fortunately, our Jin surname teacher has personally experienced being chased and killed by a strange rooster man every day, almost murdered by a strange Rakshasa girl, and all kinds of bizarre encounters that only exist in strange stories.

On the contrary, I feel that Gentiana Qin obviously doesn't think so in his heart, but every time he deliberately uses some strange and scary words to scare others, so as to maintain a certain aspect of his image, he is quite stubborn, true and cute.

So at the moment, Jin Suoyang, who has gradually mastered how to express his heart, only frowned and remained silent for a while, then raised his hands to hold Qin Gentian's face, and took the initiative to lean forward to kiss him tenderly before nodding his head replied,

"Well, I see, otherwise... shall we try a few more times?"

"..."

"The specific number of times, is it counted from the last time, Gentiana Qin?"

Gentiana:"……"

Because of this intimate conversation that was wrong but finally reached a consensus, the atmosphere was a bit sticky and sticky when the two of them were about to go back to sleep that night.

Qin Gentian, who seemed to be back to normal, didn't talk to him more about his past, and only stayed with him in a good mood before finally leaving. Simply left.

[surname teacher?Teacher?What have you been thinking about since just now? 】

"Ok?"

Because of the series of calls made by the clay doll in his mind, Jin Suoyang suddenly woke up from the previous memories, and Jin Suoyang, who was expressionless, looked dazed, and then frowned with some doubts.

And before he had been nagging in his ear for a long time that the clay doll in the shape of an old green bull was also depressed, so he whispered,

【Didn't we just discuss how to find the giant village as soon as possible... Didn't you hear what I'm talking about...】

The mud doll's complaint made Jin Suoyang finally remember that they hadn't arrived at the giant village yet. Considering that he still had work to do right now, he didn't continue to immerse himself in the matter about the giant village. Regarding the matter between himself and Gentiana Qin, he only tried his best to restrain the expression on his face, and frowning and replied to the clay doll as seriously as possible.

"Sorry, I didn't hear clearly just now."

【...Oh, it’s okay, it’s okay, but, teacher, you must believe in clay dolls, this time we absolutely can’t believe that Qingniu will take us to the giant village!It is old and dim-witted, it must have led us the wrong way, otherwise, how could it have walked for two days without arriving!I see, this weird place with no people around it can't be a giant village at all, and there can't be any giant—]

Seeing that Jin Suoyang finally came back to his senses, the little clay figurine who shook his head was not angry with him anymore, but the clay doll with his waist and the green bull in front of the car staring at him was just talking. Suddenly, in the wild forest covered with snow halfway up the mountain in the distance, there was a sound similar to the collapse of rocks after a small earthquake.

However, the sound seemed to be coherent, as if someone was running violently in the sky above their heads, every sound made people's eardrums hurt, and their hearts trembled.

Seeing this situation, Jin Suoyang and the stunned clay doll, who were obviously taken aback by this situation, stopped their bullock carts and looked into the depths of the smoky forest in the early morning. Several huge black shadows that towered like several hills approached here.

After realizing that the 'hills' whose heads were hidden above the fog and couldn't see clearly stopped suddenly, it was like a mud doll who was too scared to look up when it sensed someone nearby and stopped step by step. He only had time to sit down beside Jin Suoyang in fright, and with a broken face, he pointed to the giant big foot that appeared above his head, hugging his head and crying loudly,

【Ahhh! !Surname teacher! !Help! ! ! !Help! ! !Well, well, well, well - what a stinky, big foot! ! ! 】
