Xiaoxiao had two classes this morning, one in Chinese and one in math.
Of course, there are also breaks between classes.
The parents outside waited for their children to finish school so they could go home together.
Yuan Shitou adores his wife.
My wife looks so beautiful when she's teaching.
Xiao Xiao looked at his fanboy-like eyes and felt helpless.
Just then, the village chief came over and gave Xiaoxiao a thumbs up.
"Xiaoxiao, I didn't expect you to be so good at teaching."
Of all those children, apart from the first two, none of the rest were noisy.
Not bad, not bad.
Xiao Xiao felt a little embarrassed by his praise.
She was just a high school graduate.
I never imagined that one day I would come here, and even become a teacher who educates and nurtures students.
This is something I've never even dreamed of.
"Sigh," the village chief sighed, "Now our village has a school."
The road to town is difficult to travel.
If there were a good path to take us up and down the mountain, that would be perfect.
With a quick glance, the little boy said, "Uncle, if you want to get rich, build roads first."
If we want to get out of these mountains, we definitely need to build roads.
The village chief nodded: "I've thought about this problem before, but we're so far from the foot of the mountain."
Even if we build the road, how long will it take?
This is a massive undertaking.
The village chief looked worried, clearly having been troubled by this matter for a long time.
"Uncle, isn't there a shortcut from our village to the foot of the mountain?"
I heard that it only takes two or three days to go up and down the mountain.
"If the road is repaired and we have oxcarts, we can get to town in less than a day."
Xiao Xiao steered the conversation to the road that had been shrouded in a magic array.
The village chief knew which road she was referring to.
He shook his head bitterly: "That path was formed by an array set up by our ancestors."
It is said that it will take several hundred years for it to unravel automatically.
The problem hasn't been solved yet, so the time definitely hasn't come.
We, their descendants, don't have the ability to solve it either.
Xiao Xiao was very interested in that road: "Let's go take a look, maybe we can find a breakthrough?"
The village chief readily agreed: "Alright, let's go take a look."
Yuan Shitou immediately grabbed Xiao Xiao:
"Wife, let's go home."
Don't wander around the mountainside; you might fall.
Xiao Xiao glared at him: "I'm not made of paper, I can't just blow away in the wind."
If you're worried, just follow along. Why all the fuss?
Then he said to Yuan Ping'an, "Ping'an, go home and tell Grandma."
Let's go check that out first, and then come back later.
Yuan Ping'an nodded, then turned and ran.
Yuan Shitou had no choice but to follow behind.
My wife is really spoiled.
He's getting more and more arrogant and won't listen to anything I say.
The three of them arrived at the closed road and wandered around.
Then several more people gathered around.
I heard they came to see if this closed road could be reopened.
Everyone is hoping that this road can be reopened.
They carefully examined the bushes and weeds to see if there was anything different.
They had searched before, but found nothing except a boundary marker with "Laolin Village" written on it.
Once again, nothing was found, and everyone shook their heads in disappointment.
Xiao Xiao was very unwilling to give up, so she looked at it again, but still couldn't find anything suspicious.
I wonder how our ancestors set up this formation?
They didn't even mention teaching future generations, did they not consider the future, such as how future generations would go up and down the mountain?
Or did he intend to keep these descendants trapped on the mountain forever?
Sigh, I really don't understand these old-fashioned ideas.
In TV dramas, battle formations usually have something like a "strategic eye".
I don't know if it's true?
If that's true, then what is the core of the formation?
Looking at the several tall trees, could this be one of the trees that forms the focal point of the formation?
Then he shook his head and denied it, saying it was unlikely.
Suddenly her eyes lit up, and she began to examine the boundary marker carefully.
The three characters "Laolin Village" written on the boundary marker are in red.
It looks like it was carved on and then colored with some kind of material.
All these years have passed, and the boundary marker is still in good condition.
There are no signs of weathering.
The font and color above haven't changed at all.
Xiao Xiao reached out and touched the words on it.
Then I pushed it again and felt the boundary marker loosen.
Instinctively, I reached out and pulled the boundary marker up.
The boundary marker is a long, narrow stone.
It's not tall, only about a foot.
It was half buried in the soil, and half on top.
Xiao Xiao held it in her hand and examined it carefully. What kind of stone is this?
So many years have passed, and it's still the same, as if it was just planted there.
When everyone saw Xiaoxiao examining the stones, they assumed there was something mysterious about them and gathered around.
Suddenly someone exclaimed, "Hey, look, what happened?"
Everyone looked in the direction of his voice. Below, no, it should be a flat road extending outwards.
It wasn't a slope as they imagined; it was a straight road.
The road was overgrown with weeds, but you could still vaguely tell that it used to be a road.
The old village chief suddenly understood and laughed happily:
"The formation has been broken."
Could this boundary marker be the key point of the formation?
Everyone thought it was very likely.
Some of the bolder ones tried stepping out and stomping on the path, which was full of weeds.
Stepping on it, you don't feel anything at all.
It's no different from stepping on the ground.
Everyone was happily walking back and forth on it.
It was like discovering a new continent.
Even the village chief walked on it, occasionally stomping his feet.
Xiao Xiao also went over to experience it.
It is indeed a very sturdy road.
They were so happy here that they forgot to go home for dinner.
When their family members arrived, they were still excitedly discussing it.
Everyone was overjoyed to hear that the formation had been broken.
They can finally leave the mountains.
The village chief called out to Xiaoxiao, who was about to go home: "Xiaoxiao, now that the formation is broken, do you have any plans?"
Xiao Xiao was also very happy: "Of course we have ideas, that is, everyone should use their spare time to repair this road."
Our village has three cows, we can make them into an oxcart.
It's convenient to go back and forth to town.
We will never have to worry about paying grain taxes again.
The grain could be hauled directly to the commune in an oxcart, making the trip a single journey.
Everyone's eyes were so bright they could be used as light bulbs.
One impatient man shouted, "Village chief, there's nothing much going on in our village right now. Why don't we organize some people to repair the road?"
The village chief nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay."
She offered a small reminder: "The corn on the mountain should be ready to be harvested by now, right?"
The rice can also be harvested now.
"Where do you find the time to repair roads?"
The village chief finally came to his senses: "Yes, yes, I was so happy I was confused."
Let's harvest the grain first, then we can talk about building the road.
There's no rush.
Everyone reluctantly headed back; if it weren't for their stomachs growling with hunger, they wouldn't have planned to leave.
