Li Deshu didn't even look at the other party, but said to Ye Xiaoxiao in an inviting manner: "Don't pay attention to her, she is getting stupider and stupider. Xiaoxiao, look, I helped you teach her a lesson, so does this count as mutual help?"

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded reluctantly: "I guess so."

Li Deshu's face lit up, "Then shall I treat you to a meal?"

Ye Xiaoxiao was cold and ruthless, "No. I still have classes to go to."

Li Deshu's hypocritical expression almost couldn't be maintained, so he said casually: "Then I'll wait for your time."

After all, he was an outsider, so he didn't stay long and left after talking.

Ye Xiaoxiao also spent the remaining time quietly.

Although nothing was done that day, Ye Xiaoxiao realized what Lu Hanro meant by the difficult conditions.

Not to mention that the school's blackboards, desks and chairs are very old, the school's toilets are still dry toilets, and because of the cold weather, the faucets for washing hands do not flow water.

There was a stove in the classroom, but no coal. They only burned firewood, which had to be refilled every once in a while. If it went out, it would be very difficult to light it again.

What troubled Ye Xiaoxiao was that it was her duty to turn on the stove every week.

The duty officer is responsible for bringing firewood and coming to class early to light the stove.

Under such conditions, how can children study with peace of mind?

Ye Xiaoxiao already understood why the enrollment rate was so low.

After school on the first day, Ye Xiaoxiao met up with Ye Changsheng and Ye Changyuan and went to the school cafeteria to take a look.

Then I saw the black steamed buns and the cabbage and beans that had no smell at the food window.

Although the Ye family’s meals are all home-cooked dishes, Miao Cuifang and Grandma Miao are both good at cooking, and they always find ways to add dishes to the meal for the children.

It was the first time that Ye Xiaoxiao ate hard, cold and unpalatable rice, and she almost cried.

Ye Changyuan also sighed: "I really don't want to leave the food at home."

Ye Changsheng noticed that Ye Xiaoxiao was not comfortable with the meal and suggested, "Why don't we buy some groceries and cook for ourselves?"

Ye Xiaoxiao thought to herself, do you think I don’t want to? Of course I won’t.

Ye Changsheng: "I can cook."

Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, but she thought that now was the critical period for high school entrance examination, and Ye Changsheng had to take the college entrance examination, so there was no way he would let cooking delay him.

"I'll think about it. There's always a way."

High school life started in such a muddle.

Although Ye Xiaoxiao hasn't found a way to solve the problem of eating, her current life is not unbearable.

The only pity is that except for the head teacher, the other teachers in Class 9 don’t care much about the quality of teaching.

The students in Class 9 obviously don't like studying. Whether they are in class or not, the classroom is always noisy.

Today is Friday, and Ye Xiaoxiao's last class is physical education.

She had already made an appointment with Ye Changsheng and the others to go back to her grandmother's house after school today.

One week into school, Ye Xiaoxiao hadn't made any good friends, so she went to physical education class alone.

The playground is not very small, but it is next to a small hill. Usually, students go to the hill to pick branches for fire.

Physical education classes are also organized by teachers, and the main thing is to pick up dry firewood, under the euphemism of "all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor."

Ye Xiaoxiao's way of picking up firewood was not very skillful, even a little coquettish.

Zhang Xiaoni and several classmates walked by with laughter and looked at her with contempt.

Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”

Is this also something to be proud of?

"You...you and I...come with me."

Wang Ying passed by Ye Xiaoxiao and finally mustered up the courage to speak.

Ye Xiaoxiao: “Okay.”

Although this hillside is not dense, it is covered with wild grass and many jujube trees and shrubs.

Ye Xiaoxiao could see the thorny bushes, but Wang Ying was still walking towards that direction.

"Why do you always go to places where there are no people? Aren't there a lot of branches there?"

Wang Ying stammered, "That...that's Zhang Xiaoni's territory."

Ye Xiaoxiao frowned, "Let's go there."

She is not afraid of Zhang Xiaoni.

As soon as Ye Xiaoxiao and Wang Ying walked over, Zhang Keni and others scolded them in dissatisfaction.

"Who asked you to come here? This is our territory."

"Don't come over here again! I'll beat you up if you come over again!"

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at this group of young children and found this behavior boring.

"This place is so crowded, you haven't picked up all the branches yet, and this is not your land, why don't you let us come over?"

Ye Xiaoxiao ignored them and pulled Wang Ying: "Let's pick them up here."

Wang Ying lowered her head, bent down while others were talking, and quickly picked up the firewood.

"You little stutterer, I told you not to pick it up, and you still dared to move!"

Zhang Xiaoni took a step forward and was about to push Wang Ying.

Ye Xiaoxiao stopped the other person and said, "Don't come over here again, or I'll prick you with a needle."

Zhang Xiaoni widened her eyes and saw the real needle in Ye Xiaoxiao's hand.

"You are so mean."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Same here."

"ah!"

Wang Ying, who was quietly picking branches, suddenly fell to the ground and uttered a breathless cry.

Zhang Xiaoni put her hands on her hips and said, "What are you doing? I haven't started yet."

"괗 ni, 놋 snake."

"Snake!"

"Run."

Zhang Xiaoni's group of friends saw a long black and white snake running away from Wang Ying, and they screamed and ran away.

Zhang Xiaoni watched the snake crawling towards her feet and dared not move.

"Don't...don't bite me."

Ye Xiaoxiao flicked the needle in her hand right onto the snake's head.

However, she was still young and did not kill the snake, but only sped up the snake's departure.

Zhang Xiaoni was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground.

Ye Xiaoxiao ran over to check on Wang Ying, and saw two teeth marks on her wrist.

“I…I…”

Wang Ying couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Don't move."

Ye Xiaoxiao pulled out Wang Ying's belt and tied her wrists above the wound, then took out a silver needle and pricked her acupuncture points several times.

He turned around and shouted to Zhang Xiaoni: "Come here and carry her on your back."

Zhang 괗尼: "I... carry her on my back!"

"Nonsense, can I carry her on my back?"

Ye Xiaoxiao is much slimmer than Wang Ying. Although she is tall, it is true that she has never done any physical exercise.

And Zhang Xiaoni's face was thick and she looked very angry.

Ye Xiaoxiao: "If you don't want to, I'll just leave you here alone."

Zhang Xiaoni got up from the ground and said, "It's just carrying someone on your back, I'll do it.

Is she going to die? The snake must be poisonous. Otherwise, let's just leave her alone."

Looking at Wang Ying's blackened wound, Zhang Xiaoni retreated a little.

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Stop talking nonsense. If you keep grinding, I'll let you taste the punch of my punching bag."

Zhang Xiaoni reluctantly carried Wang Yingshan on her back.

Halfway through the journey, we met our teacher who was going up the mountain.

The group of children who just ran away have already told the teacher about the snakes in the mountains.

Ye Xiaoxiao first told the teacher the species of the venomous snake, "Teacher, the snake that bit her is a black and white ring snake. She must be sent to the county hospital for treatment as soon as possible."

The PE teacher turned Wang Ying's back and said, "Don't run around. Wait until the class is over and we'll take her to the hospital."

The physical education teacher seemed quite reliable, and Ye Xiaoxiao helped her seal the acupuncture points, preventing the snake venom from spreading.

As long as you insist on going to the hospital, you will be fine.

Ye Xiaoxiao felt relieved.

Zhang Xiaoni had only taken a few steps with the person on her back, and was still panting.

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at her and said, "You are not in good health."

Zhang Xiaoni pointed her finger at Ye Xiaoxiao and said, "You...you don't feel any pain in your waist when you talk while standing."
