Cannon fodder is a full-level boss

12. The first retirement world [12]

When Yan Ling was about to reach the door of his home after returning from school, he suddenly saw a short figure running past him at a high speed.

It was a girl.

Her face was full of panic!

As if she had not expected that there would be someone else on this road, the girl's eyes widened instantly, and her movements were even more hurried.

But the girl was limping and running, and she looked like she could fall at any time, so she was destined not to run far.

And behind the girl, a heavy sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, and the curses were getting louder and louder.

Yan Ling was very familiar with that voice, because it was the loud voice that woke him up every few mornings. So even though he had never met her, Yan Ling quickly had a good idea of ​​the identity of this embarrassed girl.

The girl also heard the footsteps.

Fear and resentment flashed across her face!

It seemed that she realized that she would never be able to outrun an adult man if she ran like this, and the girl seemed to have made a decision, grabbing a handful of things from her pocket and stuffing them into Yan Ling's hands.

"Please, don't tell anyone."

The voice was full of pleading and despair.

It was a few coins that were warmed up.

The next moment, the girl did not run again. Before the man appeared, she hid in the bushes on the side.

Yan Ling raised his eyebrows.

Bribing with money is indeed safer than relying on the kindness of others.

Even more, if he reported her, she would only need to say a word when she was caught, and the money he got would be taken back by the people who caught her.

Why was it taken back? Because Yan Ling could guess that the money was definitely not from this girl. After all, who would give money to a girl who was not pleasing to the eye every day, especially in this mountain village where a dime is used as a dollar outside.

The people behind him soon caught up.

It was indeed his neighbor.

It seemed that he did not expect to see Yan Ling. The man's face suddenly showed a variety of expressions. After all, this man has always been a simple and honest person in front of others.

So he quickly adjusted himself and asked Yan Ling if he saw anyone running.

Yan Ling, who accepted the bribe, glanced at the man. He was not interested in other people's family affairs, but he always couldn't stand men who beat and scolded children to vent their emotions. No matter how much he was praised in front of outsiders, he was just a person who couldn't manage his emotions.

Yan Ling remembered the scars on the girl's body and the determination in her eyes. It was estimated that she would not plan to come back after choosing to escape this time, and the money should be what she stole to use as travel expenses.

Besides, although there were still a few days before the start of high school, Yan Ling really didn't want his ears to be tortured. It was not easy to not study, so wouldn't it be good to have a quiet sleep?

Forget it, just think of it as buying a quiet.

So, under the man's gaze, Yan Ling directly pointed the man to a road leading down the mountain.

Yan Ling touched his stomach.

Sure enough, he was a little hungry.

He got up a little late this morning, and was afraid that he would be late for school, so he ate something casually.

So, Yan Ling walked away while thinking about what to eat for lunch.

On this road, after the silence was restored, a person stood up slowly in the grass. She looked at the house next to her house, where the faint smoke from cooking began to rise on the hillside in the distance.

Then she looked down at the money in her hand that the boy had just put back to the grass.

Compared with the scattered coins she had stolen, that piece of money seemed extremely out of place. It was a hundred-yuan bill.

The girl tightly grasped the money in her hand, her eyes full of confusion.

She originally thought that all kindness needed to be plundered and exchanged, just like the Bai mother who was very good to her before.

She thought it was earned by her pretending to be good and clever.

But if she remembered correctly, it should be the first time she met this boy.

Why?

Why did he help her.

One hundred yuan is not a small amount for any family in the mountains.

This is enough for her to arrive at the Bai family safely as planned.

Suddenly, she remembered the fairy tale that Bai's mother told her a long time ago when she was at the Bai family.

The girl began to think seriously for the first time.

Maybe there are really good people in this world who are willing to help for no purpose?

Maybe, her life is not destined to be as miserable as she thought.

Because Yan Ling only passed the high school entrance examination, the Yan Ling family did not hold a big banquet.

But at the request of his father, Yan Ling still sent two eggs to every household in the mountain village, even the teachers in the school.

Yan Ling went with his father to send eggs, and his father even asked for leave on this day.

If it were normal, Yan Ling knew his father, he would rather go to work with illness than stay at home to recuperate. Especially after knowing that his son liked reading very much a year ago, Yan's father worked even harder, going out early in the morning and returning home every night after dark, just to take Yan Ling to the county to buy a few books that Yan Ling liked on the only day off every month.

So after knowing that Yan Ling passed the high school entrance examination, Yan's father seemed to be more excited than Yan Ling!

Especially when delivering eggs, when he heard the principal and teachers of the school praising their son generously for how serious and well-behaved he was, the smile on the face of this dark-skinned man never stopped.

As Yan Ling expected, he was admitted to a provincial key high school.

Because Yan Ling's grades were the third in the province, and after the school teacher learned about Yan Ling's living conditions, the school offered very generous conditions, directly exempting all tuition and miscellaneous fees for three years, and the canteen meal expenses were also included in the tuition and miscellaneous fees.

This means that Yan Ling's three years of high school were almost free.

And the scholarship he originally received from the principal as tuition, except for the 100 yuan he gave out out of conscience, the rest could be directly used as his pocket money.

However, Yan Ling thought about it, and finally, the night before going to school, Yan Ling kept most of the money and put it under his father's pillow.

In this year, in order to conform to the personality and cognition of a mountain village boy, Yan Ling did not show too much abnormality. Except for occasionally improving the food, he relied on his father to maintain his life. Now that he can finally leave the mountains, Yan Ling hopes that his father can spend more money on him.

Yan Ling took a last look at the mountain where he had lived for a year, waved to his father, and finally got on the bus to school.

"Haha. Are you surprised? Are you surprised? Are you moved?"

"I said we were destined to be together. Look, this time we are real classmates. Am I more loyal than that guy Bai Qi!"

Not long after Yan Ling arrived at the new school, he met an old acquaintance.

Yan Ling looked at Xiao Mingxuan, who was smiling proudly in front of him, and couldn't help but have a headache.

He remembered that in a recent letter, Xiao Mingxuan said that he would definitely be admitted to the same school as him. Yan Ling thought the other party was joking!

Unexpectedly, it was true?
