"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"

A student noticed Yang Yiwu's expression and asked.

"Nothing, the teacher is just tired."

Yang Yiwu stood up and walked to the window. He saw that the snow outside was getting thicker and thicker. He probably couldn't expect the power to be restored tonight.

He and these students might have to spend the coldest night.

Just like those humans in the movies.

Despair, the same despair.

He even wanted to laugh.

I have made so much effort and tried so many methods, why is it that nothing works?

Is it true that humankind is destined to be destroyed, and that I and this school are destined to be buried under the wind and snow, never to see the sun again?

"What did you think of the movie?"

In order to divert attention, Yang Yiwu asked the students.

“I think the middle of this movie is very sad and makes people feel uncomfortable, but the ending is good.”

A student replied.

His words made Yang Yiwu look over, and what he saw was a slightly timid look in the eyes of the township teacher.

"The final outcome was not good. In fact, humanity was still not saved. Look at those insect swarms and the minerals on these people. It is difficult for them to continue to survive."

Yang Yiwu explained that he thought the students did not understand the movie.

This is a thoroughly desperate disaster film. It does not show the valuable qualities of human beings when facing disasters. Instead, it amplifies the ugliness of human nature to the extreme and presents the bad nature of human beings through extreme situations.

However, another student spoke up.

"But at least they are still alive. Hundreds of years have passed, which means they should still be able to continue living, right?"

"Yes, and in the end they found the robot, so they will definitely know how they perished in the past, and they will definitely find a way to deal with the bugs. I think this is an open ending."

Another student followed suit.

They talked about their ideas at the same time as if they were discussing Chinese reading comprehension.

But no matter what, they all felt that the ending of the movie was good.

Yang Yiwu was silent for a long time.

Perhaps it is because these children have been exposed to too little and are too naive, so they can express their gratitude so directly.

However, after hearing what the children said, Yang Yiwu thought of something else.

Is it because he has experienced too much that he feels such despair towards the world?

Just like the researchers in the movie, because they understand humans too well, they abandon their humanity and step into the abyss.

Think about it carefully.

If the humans in the movie simply united together, helped each other, and supported each other, would they be able to successfully survive these disasters?

Just like this ecological park, it has survived disasters and hundreds of years, but it still stands here.

And those sick humans also came out of the shelters and established a new civilization.

Is it true that sometimes, all it takes is enough kindness to overcome a seemingly insurmountable disaster?

In despair, Yang Yiwu seemed to feel a little hope.

The snow outside the window became heavier, and the cold air came through the window, making Yang Yiwu's body stiff.

He returned to the brazier and discussed movies, life and the future with his students in order to keep himself from falling asleep and to wait for help that might never arrive.

Yang Yiwu found that these children were innocent, had their own ideas, and were full of hope for the future.

He began to wonder whether he was really passing too much social pressure onto them.

At least in this world, people don't have to worry about those desperate natural disasters, and they can live a slower life.

See more of the world, pay attention to the people around you, do good things within your ability, and face every day with hope.

Yang Yiwu looked at the brazier and felt his vision begin to blur.

Before he knew it, he fell asleep.

In his dream, images of insect swarms, tsunamis, typhoons, laboratories, deserts, and robot girls appeared repeatedly, making him feel as if he was asleep, yet not asleep, in a daze and unaware of the time.

Yang Yiwu was awakened by a series of knocking sounds.

At first, he thought it was hail. When he was at home, he had seen reports of hail in the news. Fist-sized pieces of ice fell down, shattering the window glass and even making a big dent in the roof of the car.

The crackling sound was like firecrackers. When he was a child, the sound of firecrackers during the New Year would ring all night long, making it so noisy that he couldn't sleep at all. At that time, Yang Yiwu just thought they were noisy, but now, Yang Yiwu misses that crackling night very much.

“Teacher, teacher!”

Someone beside him shook him, and Yang Yiwu recalled his college days. There was a girl in his class who always sat in the corner of the first row, taking notes seriously. Yang Yiwu only knew her name and her major, but had never spoken to her. He only knew that when she graduated, this girl also chose to go to teach in rural areas. He wondered if the heavy snow was still falling where she was teaching?

Yang Yiwu opened his eyes and saw his student shaking his body, trying to wake him up.

"What's wrong?"

He was still a little confused until he was completely awakened by the knocking sounds outside. Then Yang Yiwu looked out the window.

The heavy snow piled up to half a person's height, covering most of the windows. Outside the window, a man in a fire suit was knocking on the glass with his gloved hands.

Behind that person is the sunshine.

Yang Yiwu had never felt so deeply how good the sun was.

At this moment, Yang Yiwu understood the content of the movie.

He stood up with all his strength and walked towards the window.

Walk towards the sunshine.

…

Boom boom boom——

Lu Ban, who was sleeping on the sofa, heard a knock on the door.

He checked the time; it was only six o'clock.

The air conditioner is still trying hard to create warmth, and the sound of the chassis operating is quite hypnotic once you get used to it.

He sat up. The Lu Ban in the mirror seemed to be still asleep. Instead of waking him up, Lu Ban stood up.

Suddenly, Lu Ban felt a little quiet.

He moved the curtains and looked outside.

The sky was still dark and grey, but the snow had stopped.

Under the illumination of some lights that are always on, the whole world is silent, like a sleeping child.

"Has the snow stopped?"

Lu Ban was a little curious.

Boom boom boom——

There was another knock on the door.

If you don't open the door, Qin Tiantian will be woken up.

Lu Ban thought about it, he glanced at the hot pot on the coffee table in the living room which had been put away at some point, walked to the door and looked through the peephole.

It’s Feng Yu.

Lu Ban opened the door.

Feng Yu was wearing a dark long down jacket and jeans. He looked very warm, but his face was a little pale. Lu Ban had probably only seen Feng Yu so haggard when she gave birth to him.

"Problem solved."

Feng Yu said something.

Then, as if he had lost all his strength, he fell into Lu Ban's arms.
