Chapter 587 My sunny and cheerful boyfriend must be a good man! (22)

Bai Yao knew about the existence of Phoenix Mountain not because she loved studying so much and did extracurricular preparation, but because she had been to Phoenix Mountain.

When she was six years old, she was kidnapped to an abandoned factory, and it was there that she met Tan Shou.

Perhaps it is difficult for people living in civilized society today to imagine that those greedy people in those days could drown their own children in pursuit of glory and wealth.

But in fact, no matter what era, even people with the most quality education will do all kinds of dirty things.

Not long after the first man sank his son, he unexpectedly made a fortune and became a well-known local businessman. He could marry as many women as he wanted and have as many sons as he wanted.

His success made people jealous and envious, so there was a rumor that throwing a boy into the tiankeng would have a better effect than throwing a girl. The trend in the area turned to another extreme. Everyone still competed to have a son, but the purpose of giving birth to a son was to throw him into the tiankeng.

Gradually, more and more people fell into the madness, and one baby's body after another was thrown into the swamp. If the soil and water could be drained, there must be a mountain of corpses inside.

This kind of crazy "custom" did not exist until the country and society were stable, and the relevant departments noticed the relevant situation and stopped it with tough measures.

Although this is the case, the temptation of money and power is too great, and some people still do crazy things secretly despite the strict legal regulations.

Later, a group of typical cases were caught and the highest punishment was given, which made these people slowly stop thinking. Now, fewer and fewer people around Fenghuang Mountain still know about the sinking of babies into the sinkhole.

The teacher left a homework for the students after this class. It was very simple. Just write down your views on the dregs.

Any normal person will be full of resentment after hearing this story, so this homework is not difficult.

Bai Yao did not rush to leave the classroom. She quickly ran to the front and stopped the teacher who was about to leave. She asked politely: "Teacher Zhang, I just searched about the drowning incident in Phoenix Mountain, and there is no relevant discussion or research on the Internet. So I would like to ask, teacher, why do you know so much about the local customs?"

Teacher Zhang was very amiable and patient and said: "When I was young, I went to the local area to do research. At that time, I wanted to use this incident as the topic of my thesis, but later I felt that this incident was too dark and cruel, so I gave up."

Folklorists like them often need to go to the relevant areas to conduct personal investigations in order to write articles with more depth and breadth.

When Teacher Zhang was young, he had been to many remote places. It was only because he was old and could not walk anymore that he began to teach and educate people.

Recalling the past, Teacher Zhang could not help but reminisce, "Back then, there was not even a good road in Phoenix Mountain. Teacher Sun and I climbed the mountain for a long time before we reached the village above. If it were now, we would not be able to climb."

Bai Yao asked, "Did Teacher Sun also go to investigate with Teacher Zhang?"

"Yes." Teacher Zhang smiled and said, "He and I were classmates, and we both stayed at the school to work, so we became partners at the time. Bai Yao, you seem to be very interested in the story of Phoenix Mountain?"

"I just think that what Teacher Zhang said about what happened in Phoenix Mountain in the past is too incredible, so I am a little curious."

Teacher Zhang did not doubt it. He casually said: "If you are interested, you can ask Teacher Sun. He has been there longer and should know more than me."

Bai Yao smiled, "Okay, thank you Teacher Zhang."

Bai Yao was in class in the classroom, and Qin Shou was waiting in the empty classroom next door. He had a lot of things to do, such as ranking Bai Yao's number, and flipping through the photo album. The photos of the two of them in it will never get boring.

Qin Shou is Bai Yao's boyfriend. One of the reasons why girls always sigh that he is such a good man is that he never complains about the time waiting for Bai Yao. There are not many boys in the world who are as patient as him.

Someone walked in from the door and greeted him politely, "Student Qin."

"What's up?" Qin Shou didn't even raise his eyelids. He was editing a photo of the two of them that Bai Yao had taken during the day. Only when he edited the photo to her satisfaction would she post it on WeChat Moments.

Li Feng sat opposite Qin Shou. He was a calm boy. Everyone said he was mature and stable, and the most considerate and caring, but many times, he would show a sullenness that was inconsistent with his peers.

"Could you please give me the baby you caught in the swimming pool last time?"

Qin Shou raised his eyes and smiled slightly, "Why?"

"Perhaps after seeing this child, the people who died in vain can resolve the regrets and resentment in their hearts, and no longer exist as wandering ghosts."

Qin Shou raised his eyes slightly, "You are really a kind-hearted person."

Li Feng said: "We are all helpless. The child has not received any care since birth, and has no chance to grow. He acts only on instinct, so I think he is not targeting Bai Yao intentionally. If you give him to me, I can make better use of him."

Qin Shou thought about it for a while, and finally, he said in a faint tone, "Yaoyao doesn't hate you."

When Bai Yao came to find Qin Shou, she happened to see Li Feng who was about to leave. Li Feng greeted her, turned around and left.

Bai Yao's bag was a bit heavy because of the books in it.

Qin Shou took Bai Yao's bag and asked with a smile: "Are you going home?"

Bai Yao smiled and nodded, "Yes, let's go back."

On the way back, the street lights were on.

Bai Yao kept muttering, "Strawberries should not be out of the market yet, I will learn to make strawberry cake on the weekend! It's not right that you always cook for me, I will make sweet and sour pork ribs for you tomorrow! And, and, do we need to restock the candies at home?"

Bai Yao looked up and happened to meet his focused gaze.

Qin Shou chuckled, "Yaoyao, I can do all these things."

"But I want to do it for you." Bai Yao hugged his arm and leaned against him, her eyes curved and her smile full of joy, "We are a couple, I should be nice to you."

Qin Shou said "hmm" and his voice was slightly hoarse, "Then...if we have a conflict in the future, can Yaoyao not send me to sleep on the sofa?"

Bai Yao looked ferocious, "When have I ever let you really sleep on the sofa! Don't say bad things about me!"

He laughed out loud, "I was wrong, Yaoyao was reluctant to let me sleep on the sofa."

He could say the three words "reluctant" so confidently.

Bai Yao wanted to say "don't be so sentimental", but when she saw the smugness in his lively expression, and thought that his smugness was all her habit, she lost her temper instantly.
