With that said, Fangzheng quickly left. Red Boy was stunned. What was going on? Following that, a fragrant breeze blew over. Yao Yuxin sat in front of him and said with a stern expression, "Little rascal, you are actually giving lessons to your master? Why did you secretly drink alcohol before? I'm telling you, you're a child.% ¥# … ¥& "
Red Boy was too deep for tears. He hurriedly jumped up and shouted, "Amitabha. Female Patron, I need to relieve myself. Master, wait for me! "
Red Boy ran off and chased after her.
In the bathroom, Red Boy said with a look of grief and indignation, "Master, you betray me every time. You're too disloyal."
"We are master and disciple. When the master is in trouble, the disciple naturally has to shoulder it. Besides, you are a demon king. Now, you are the Child of Wealth. You are an immortal. This Penniless Monk is just an ordinary monk. If anything happens, you will naturally shoulder it. "
"But you are my senior!"
"You are old enough to be This Penniless Monk's ancestral master. This Penniless Monk can't be your senior."
"You are of high seniority!"
"Therefore, as someone of low seniority, you naturally have to help me fend off the calamity."
Red Boy: "…"
After a while, the two returned to the table. Everyone was waiting for Fangzheng. He had a special vegetarian meal and water as a substitute for wine. Everyone exchanged toasts and after three rounds of wine, they began to chat. However, what surprised Fangzheng was that Yao Yuxin, who was always very talkative, did not speak much. All she did was eat, drink, drink, drink …
As everyone chatted, they realized something was amiss. Sis Liu began to hold back Yao Yuxin, preventing her from drinking.
Yao Yuxin looked at Sis Liu with her hazy eyes and said with a silly smile, "Sis, what do you think a person lives for? In the past, I had a dream. I wanted to be a teacher and have students all over the world. I went out to work hard. I worked hard, but when my grandmother who loved me the most passed away, I didn't even get to see her one last time. Boohoo … Tell me, what am I doing? Boohoo … I let my grandmother down. I should have been by her side … Boohoo … "
The more Yao Yuxin cried, the sadder she became. She could not stop her tears.
Sis Liu was not a talkative person. All she could do was pat Yao Yuxin on the back and whisper, "Alright, cry. You will feel better after you cry. You have already done well. "
Yao Yuxin continued to cry …
Fangzheng was helpless in this regard. To lure her into a dream? Clearly, Yao Yuxin was not weak. She was using her own actions to mend the scars in her heart. She had been self-healing, and now it was just an emotional outburst. There was no illness in her heart. On the contrary, it was full of sunshine and hope. Luring such a person into a dream would only be icing on the cake. It wouldn't be of much use.
Yao Yuxin cried until she fell asleep. It had been a day, and she was indeed exhausted. Sister Liu brought her into the inner room to rest.
After Yao Yuxin left, the atmosphere became lively again. After talking for a while, He Ming said, "Everyone, I have an idea that I want to say."
"Captain, what do you think? Thinking of starting a family? Or did you take a fancy to Sister Liu? "someone jeered.
He Ming hurriedly made a shushing gesture, looking as if he was afraid of being caught red-handed. Then, he glared fiercely at the man. Obviously, he had feelings for Sister Liu …
He Ming said, "Don't speak nonsense. Liu Yuan graduated from a famous university. Why would she fancy a bumpkin like me? It's fine to say that I'm fine, but I can't sully her innocence! "
"You haven't even wooed her, but you are already thinking on her behalf. Captain He, I think you have fallen for her." Ma Haomiao had drunk a few cups of alcohol, and his face was flushed. He spoke more and became a lot livelier as he began teasing He Ming.
He Ming said, "Go to the side and drink! You are everywhere. "
Village Chief Lei said softly, "Captain He, if you aren't talking about that, what do you want to say?"
"What I'm talking about is serious." When He Ming said that, he stood up and enunciated each and every word clearly, "Everyone knows that I was busy recently, so I couldn't come with everyone. After coming here this time, some things happened that made me feel quite emotional. First, there's a problem with the stairway to heaven. If we don't think of a solution, it will eat people. It has eaten in the past, and it will continue to eat in the future! Second, the school can't be without teachers. "
Upon hearing He Ming talk about serious matters, everyone stopped teasing him. Their expressions turned serious.
A middle-aged man took off his glasses and wiped them. Then, he said, "A wooden stairway definitely won't do. I can get some steel and get someone to make it into a steel ladder. But even a steel ladder has its safety issues. Someone needs to maintain it. Back Foot Village doesn't have anyone capable of maintaining a steel ladder. "
Village Chief Lei said, "If it's not difficult, I can give it a try."
"Old Lei, I know your situation well. Your leg was injured a long time ago. The more you walk, the more it hurts. This time, when you went down with us, I saw your legs trembling. It's strenuous for you to move up and down. I'm afraid maintenance won't do, "said He Ming.
Village Chief Lei fell silent. He was in the prime of his life. If not for his body full of problems, he would have left home long ago. Who would want to be trapped in this godforsaken place forever?
The bespectacled man said, "Therefore, this problem is very difficult to solve. Among the volunteers we know, there might be people who know, but to maintain the stairway, one needs to go up and down daily. This requires him to stay here for a long period of time. "
Everyone fell silent once again. Those who originally had some thoughts did not say a word. Coming once a week was already the limit for many people. If they were to stay here for a long period of time, ignoring their families, even they themselves might not be able to endure the hardships here.
When He Ming saw this, he chuckled and said, "That's what I wanted to say too. I've thought about it all day. I'm a loner. My grandmother isn't close to me, and my father doesn't love me. I have no family, nor do I have a wife or children. Therefore, I've decided to stay and do this maintenance job. In my early years, I learned car repair and know how to weld. Repairing the stairway shouldn't be a problem. "
"Captain He, you are staying?" Everyone exclaimed.
Village Chief Lei was taken aback as well. He said in shock, "Captain He, what … What are you doing?"
He Ming said with a smile, "Alright, there's no need to say anything unnecessary. I've already decided. It's settled. I'll send everyone back in the afternoon. I'll pack my things and settle my family matters. I'll come with the water delivery team tomorrow. "
Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to say. Everyone volunteered because they felt that they had the ability to help others. They would help and do their part. However, no one had ever thought of putting themselves in danger.
"Captain He, I wasn't convinced by you in the past. Why should we follow you when you are the captain? Now, I'm convinced! Don't worry. I'll settle the matter of the stairway. I'll pay for it all! "The middle-aged man said as he patted his chest. Then, he raised his cup and said," This cup is to you! "
