Chapter 584 Everything

"How did this school become like this?"

Arula smacked her lips in shock as she looked at the houses where not even a wall existed.

"Schools aren't like this before. Could he have gone to the wrong place? What do you think, Dad?"

Cai Rang looked up quickly and said in a gruff voice, "Yes, it's right here. The wall was about to collapse when I came here before. Maybe Teacher Huang took it down."

"It's not possible that there's not even a brick to be seen," Arula muttered softly, "Aren't there many zombies here? There's not even a barrier. I can't sleep peacefully at night..."

Cai Rang paused for a moment and suddenly felt that what she said made sense.

After all, I was so careless that I didn't even think of this.

He had been chased by the living dead before. When he hid in the house, the thin door panel was shaken by the impact and was about to fall down. He could not hold on for much longer.

The school's outer wall is gone, and Teacher Huang lives in a house facing zombies, and she is the only one surviving. Could it be that...

Did they come here for nothing?

This made me shocked and I broke out in a cold sweat.

But the next moment, he saw a dark ring surrounding the house, which was very wide.

Teacher Huang is very smart. Nothing happened when I saw her two years ago, and nothing happened now. Even if I die, nothing will happen to Teacher Huang.

Cai Rang gave himself a reassurance and moved forward with increased vigilance.

Perhaps it was because Leng Ning's expression affected everyone. Arula held the two children's hands tightly and looked around nervously. Any slight movement could make her tremble with fear.

Snap—Snap.

When he heard this voice, Arula's face turned pale as paper and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Cairang..." she said in a very soft voice, "Don't go forward yet. Is there something over there?"

Cairang was also a little scared. His wife and children were there. If something really rushed out, he might not be able to handle it alone.

He stopped, gently pulled the shovel from the frame and held it in his palm, then waved his left hand back, signaling them to stay where they were and not move.

He walked slowly towards the source of the sound.

The two children clung to their mother's belly, trembling with fear. Arula was afraid that they would make any sound, so she covered their mouths with her hands.

Her back was empty, and she looked back from time to time.

Xia Yan's eyes met hers in the air.

Clearly seeing the fear and terror inside, Arula was not worried about herself, but mainly because of the two children around her. The potential danger made her adrenaline secrete and she was ready to fight at any time.

Xia Yan pulled Xiong Xiong forward a few steps and stood behind them, one on the left and one on the right.

"Don't be afraid, we are here for you," she comforted him.

Xia Yan had already observed the surroundings. The terrain was flat and there were no obstructions. If there really were zombies, the only possible place would be the house in front.

Or in the ditch in front of the house.

But, do zombies dig trenches? Aren't they dug by hand?

Just as she was about to start doubting this, he exhaled very loudly, stuck the shovel in his hand into the ground, seemed to have seen something, and walked forward quickly.

In the gaps between his long strides, Arula saw handfuls of dark brown things being thrown up.

It looks like damp soil.

But the action of throwing the soil stopped immediately, and a pair of gray eyes with vigilance slowly emerged from behind.

Then it gradually rose up, and when it saw Cairang, it was stunned for a moment and then suddenly burst out with light.

"Yes, Cairang is here!"

The man let out a joyful cry, trotted off, and then crawled to the ground from another place.

Arula's tense nerves were immediately soothed by the familiar figure, and she shouted excitedly, "Teacher Huang! Teacher Huang, is that you?"

A face like old tree bark turned over, with gray and dry scalp loosely covering the top of the head, and a thin braid tied at the back of the head.

The eyes quickly swept over Arula, moved down, and fell on the two rosy little faces.

She smiled, revealing her pink gums. "I'm glad you're here, I'm glad you're here. Have you been safe along the way?"

"Safe. Aside from encountering a zombie, nothing happened. It went better than before!"

Cai Rang said this and drove around looking for a suitable place to settle down.

When Teacher Huang saw that they had brought their home with them, he knew that they would not leave for a while. His mouth was full of wrinkles with joy and he pointed towards the house.

"Go over there, the ground is flat. I clear the weeds every year, just waiting for today. Good! Good! Cairang is a good parent who keeps his promises. He will come when he says he will!

"I admire your attitude towards education. As a parent, you must know that no matter what the outside world becomes, children must learn to read and learn knowledge, breaking free from the shackles that restrict their thinking. Without values and moral sense, can they still be called human beings?"

Perhaps it had been a long time since anyone had spoken to Teacher Huang. Her dry lips kept opening and closing, and she looked at the two children with loving eyes.

Arula nodded, walked over with the two children in hand, looked Teacher Huang up and down, slapped her thigh hard, and said in disbelief: "How did you age so much?! You've lost weight, even thinner than before!"

"It's okay. When you get older, you won't gain weight no matter how much you eat. But the children have grown taller and stronger."

When they approached Teacher Huang, the two children felt happy but scared at the same time. They nervously shouted "Hello, teacher" and then hooked their fingers, not daring to move.

Even though they haven't seen each other for many years, they still can't change the fear that runs deep in their bones when they see their teacher.

Until Teacher Huang touched their heads lovingly and praised them as good children.

The two kids finally became lively and ran away, leaving them behind.

The sound of laughter once again echoed in the school without walls and signs, driving away the loneliness and emptiness.

Just like the grass seedlings pressed down by the snow, when the wind blows and the snow melts, they will grow again and cover the ground with green.

Teacher Huang felt like his heart came back to life.

The reason why she has stayed here all this time is, firstly, her own belief, and secondly, for these children who cannot go to school in the city.

Teacher Huang's expression gradually turned cold.

Because she saw the unfamiliar Xia Yan and Xiong Xiong standing beside her.

"These two are..."

Arula followed her gaze and said, "Oh, she's Boss Xia, the owner of a hotel. She heard you don't have coal to burn in the winter, so she came here to sell her goods."

Xia Yan: Selling goods?

Well, very down-to-earth and relevant.

She stepped forward and stretched out her hand: "Teacher Huang, I not only sell charcoal, but also flour, rice, cooking oil, various seasonings for cooking, soy sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, etc., as well as quilts, clothes and shoes.

"Oh, by the way, even if you need chalk, erasers, and textbooks and workbooks, I have them all! As long as it's something you need, there's nothing I won't sell."
