Portable Space: Red Age of Rebirth

Two months later, Du Xuanjin visited all the places she wanted to visit, and Kong’s home also had some local specialties and gadgets from various places. Three days later, Du Xuanjin entered the last stop of her life, a village in a province in southwest China.

A remote mountain village. After getting off the ox cart, I thanked the driver and walked for half an hour before reaching the entrance of the village.

Daliushu Village is the mountain village where Du Xuanjin came to teach for the first time. It is surrounded by mountains, with rugged mountain roads and inconvenient transportation. The villagers have lived here for generations. There are very few people who have left the mountains. The whole village has been very poor and backward. Eight years ago

When Du Xuanjin came here for the first time, there was no electricity in the village. The mountain people still lived a primitive self-sufficient life and knew little about the outside world. But although the life here is poor, the people's customs are simple.

The first college student to come here showed great curiosity and enthusiasm. The children, especially, were very curious and yearning for the outside world. Du Xuanjin taught here for about nine months until the new teacher came here.

After leaving here, Du Xuanjin posted the current situation here and the children's desire for the outside world on the Internet, which aroused widespread attention and support from the outside world. Later, when she wrote to the old village chief, the old village chief told her that there was a corporate acquisition

The local specialties there also funded the construction of roads in several nearby villages. Now the village has electricity and TV, and the children can go to school. In addition to telling her the good news, fellow villagers also came with the letter.

After this time, Du Xuanjin would go to some remote mountainous areas to teach every one or two years and help children who could not afford to go to school.

Walking to the entrance of the village, she looked around and saw that there was no one around. Du Xuanjin took out the quilts, oil, salt, rice and noodles she bought for the villagers, and the books and stationery she bought for the children. She looked at her watch and saw that the children would be waiting for more than half an hour.

It's time for school to end. It's better to wait here for them to finish school. Otherwise, taking these things by yourself will arouse suspicion.

About forty minutes later, the bell rang. From a distance, I saw a dark, lean little boy rushing out of the school gate first, wiping his runny nose with his arms as he ran. Du Xuanjin couldn't laugh or cry. The little boy ran to the entrance of the village.

When I saw a lot of things on the ground, especially a lot of new schoolbags, my eyes shone brightly, and I ran and shouted, "Gou, come and see, there are so many new schoolbags falling from the sky," completely ignoring Du Xuanjin.

I didn't see a single living person standing here.

"Where is it, snot baby, where is the schoolbag?" followed by chirping, a group of children ran over and screamed when they saw the schoolbag, completely ignoring Du Xuanjin.[

Everyone ran to the schoolbags and found that there was still a big living person standing there. They all became honest and said nothing. Du Xuanjin looked at the children and said with a smile, "Each person has a schoolbag, a pencil case, and a set of books, but

No grabbing is allowed. And whoever calls the old village chief over, I will give him an extra pencil." Before he finished speaking, the boys who had shouted the most happily rushed to shout, "I'm going, I'm going.

, I ran fast." In a flash, 5 or 6 boys disappeared, and the rest were all chirping and saying, "This is good, I want this, I want whichever one is better." Looking at the cheerful children, Du Xuanjin felt that maybe she was happy.

It's that simple.

A few minutes later, 5 or 6 boys ran back, followed by an old man in his 60s with gray hair, who was not the old village chief. Before Du Xuanjin could speak, the old village chief shouted, "Is it Du Yatou?"

.It turns out that one of the children who went to call the old village chief had seen photos taken by Du Xuanjin when he was teaching here. Du Xuanjin had not changed much over the years. When he called the old village chief, the child said that he was the most beautiful volunteer teacher in the past.

Okay, the old village chief thought, it’s not Du Xuanjin.

"Old village chief, it's me." Du Xuanjin walked up to the old village chief and shook his arm affectionately.

"Why didn't you tell us in advance so that I could send someone to pick you up? You're exhausted, girl," the old village chief said angrily. Although they hadn't seen each other for several years, they were not unfamiliar at all. It was because Du Xuanjin had left such a deep impression on him.

Well, I feel very sorry for this poor girl. When she was teaching, Du Xuanjin always lived and ate at the old village chief's house. In the past few years, Du Xuanjin would also remit money to the old village chief's house during the Chinese New Year, and the old village chief would also give her money from time to time.

Send some mountain goods by mail.

"Why do you bring so many things? You, as a grown-up, have to learn to live frugally." The old village chief walked up and saw a lot of things in front of him and said to Du Xuanjin. He looked at the chattering group next to him and was very excited.

The children waved their hands and said, "Go home quickly and ask the adults at home to pick up the things." Before they finished speaking, a group of children ran away with a coaxing sound, holding the schoolbags and stationery they selected.

"Child, why are you here at this time? Are you busy with work?" Seeing the children running away, the old village chief asked.

"I want to come out and take some time to relax. I quit my job and am planning to teach here for a while this time." Du Xuanjin replied thoughtfully. She didn't want to tell the old village chief about her condition and make them worry, nor did she want to worry them.

If you cause trouble, just leave here when you can't hold on any longer.

"Okay, I'm still living at home this time. Your aunt is thinking about you every day. You're already a grown-up and you haven't even started a family yet, and you're still sending money to your family, which means you won't be able to live at all. Your aunt has saved all the money you sent.

, I will buy you a dowry in the future." The old village chief knew that Du Xuanjin was an orphan, and the whole family liked her very much, so he always treated her as his own child.

After a while, a group of people came over talking and laughing. Many people saw Du Xuanjin and still remembered her. When she was teaching, she often gave literacy classes to these fellow villagers. The mountain village is very small, with a total of 4 or 50 households, two in a family.

A thick quilt, four thick cotton coats, four pairs of new cotton shoes, two barrels of peanut oil, two bags of rice, one bag of flour, and some books on breeding and planting. After distributing the good things, they all invited Du Xuanjin to their homes.

When they wanted to eat, the old village chief laughed and scolded her and refused on her behalf.

On the way back to the village, Du Xuanjin told the villagers that she had some commonly used medicines there. If anyone in the village had a cold, fever or diarrhea, they should go to her place to get them and would not give them to them, for fear that they would accidentally take the medicine.

The villagers all knew that Xuan Jin had some knowledge of medical skills, so they all agreed with a smile.

When we arrived at the old village chief's house, the village chief's mother had already started preparing lunch. She probably heard what her grandson said when she ran back earlier. When she saw Xuan Jin, she didn't let go and said she was even more beautiful. While she was talking, a small child leaked out of the kitchen.

He was secretly looking at Du Xuanjin with his head. Xuanjin looked up and saw that it was the Snot Baby that ran out first. Only then did she realize that the Snot Baby was the grandson of the village chief uncle.

Du Xuanjin waved to Snot Baby, and the little boy came over timidly and asked, "Beautiful sister, did you really give me the schoolbag?" Upon hearing Snot Baby's name, Du Xuanjin smiled proudly. She was still very young.

Even children know that they are beautiful and call themselves sister. Children are the most honest. When she was in school, although Du Xuanjin was called a cold beauty, people who know her well know that she is a person who yearns for warmth.

I wanted to repay the kindness I did to her. She was extremely simple. Although she was indifferent, she was not indifferent.

Congratulated, Du Xuanjin still wanted to correct the snotty baby's address, "Do you know if you want to call me Teacher Du or Auntie from now on?" She took out a handful of candy from her schoolbag and handed it to the snotty baby, who received a big smile. Then.

Sniveling Baby took Du Xuanjin's hand and ran to her room, pulled out a large cardboard box from under the bed, introduced her treasure to Du Xuanjin, and promised Xuanjin that she could pick one at will.

During lunch, I saw the village chief's son-in-law, Brother Wang, and Sister-in-law Wang. They had just gotten married when Du Xuanjin came here for the first time, and they were very happy to see Du Xuanjin suddenly. They have had Xuanjin's support in the past few years.

, and the whole family is hard-working and capable, and their life is very good. During the meal, some fellow villagers came one after another, all coming to add food. You give me a chicken with stewed mushrooms, and I give you a braised fish. Looking at the dining table

After enjoying the rich and authentic farm food and feeling the warm hospitality of the villagers, Du Xuanjin felt more and more that it was right for her to come here again.

In fact, what she didn't know was that the villagers were even more grateful to Du Xuanjin. At that time, due to Du Xuanjin's publicity and campaign, this remote mountain village attracted the attention of the outside world, and also found a way for the village to get rich. In the past few years, the village had been connected.

We bought electricity, bought a TV and installed a telephone, so the children could go to school at home, and everyone's life gradually became richer. Several of the students Du Xuanjin taught at that time have been admitted to the best high schools in the county, and it is said that their grades are good.

, I will definitely be admitted to university in the future, and this small mountain village will also produce several college students.

Looking at the enthusiastic villagers, overlooking the lush green mountains and gurgling mountain streams that were not damaged in any way, Du Xuanjin decided to spend the remaining days here. Du Xuanjin lived a fulfilling life in the following days, usually spending time with her children.

I go to class, check on the villagers' minor problems when there are patients, all medicines are free, and talk to the villagers about the outside world. Sometimes I follow the village chief uncle to farm and harvest crops. Although it is not enough to cause trouble, I feel

The hardships of work and the joy of harvest. During weekends, I followed Sniveling and a group of little kids like him to run around in the mountains. I followed them and learned to pick wild fruits, dig wild vegetables, dig out bird eggs, and fish. When I was alone, I would

In the space, I read books, wrote, and practiced painting, and my days were extremely fulfilling. Even the village chief’s mother’s nagging of “it’s time to find a partner” from time to time became pleasant to my ears.

During the long vacation, I would give the daily necessities and books I purchased to other remote and backward mountain villages nearby, and then return to Daliushu Village to continue teaching. More than two years have passed.

Xuanjin herself found it unbelievable, but her heart that had been hurting recently told her that her days really were short and it was time to leave here. She didn't want her fellow villagers to know about her condition.

It was the weekend. During dinner, Du Xuanjin told the village chief and his family about her decision. She lied to them that she planned to go abroad for a few years and would leave here in a few days. Du Xuanjin cried as soon as she finished talking about the snot baby. Now the snot baby can’t

I’m calling him Sniffy Baby because now he can no longer wipe his nose with his arms. He is no longer so naughty, but a very clean and smart child. In the past two years, Du Xuanjin has established a deep relationship with the children in the village.

The feelings made up for the bleakness of his childhood.

Although they were reluctant to leave, the village chief and the others still supported Xuan Jin's decision. Because they felt that such a beautiful, smart and capable girl could not stay in the mountain village all her life. The wider and more exciting world outside would be more suitable for her development. How did they know that if

Maybe Du Xuanjin doesn’t want to live here all her life.[

In the last few days, I took out the excess medicines from the space, recorded the applicable symptoms and dosage of the medicines one by one in detail, and handed them to Sister Wang. As for other daily necessities, they were too large to be taken out suddenly, which attracted attention.

I had no choice but to send them to other mountain villages later. I left my last remaining 100,000 in cash with the old village chief and asked them to build a mountain road out of the mountain, and then said goodbye to the villagers one by one. Early the next morning, I took the

The villagers gave me big and small bags of local specialties, and I got on the village chief's ox cart and quietly left this small mountain village where I had spent the happiest time.

Shennongjia is the terminal station of life chosen by Du Xuanjin for herself. It is said that there are beautiful and ancient legends and simple and mysterious folk customs here. Man and nature together constitute the original alpine ecological and cultural circle in mainland China. Looking at the primitive scenery as far as the eye can see,

The forest, with its vigorous and tall firs, the simple and fragrant rock cypress, the graceful and elegant cypress, the graceful involucrata, and the exclusive hemlock fir, with its lush branches and leaves, blocking out the sky and the sun, Du Xuanjin's spirit was lifted. There was no follow-up.

Following the tour guide's travel route, Du Xuanjin wondered if she could experience real survival in the wild. In the next few days, Du Xuanjin saw majestic canyons, beautiful lakes, flowing springs and waterfalls, seas of clouds and Buddha's light. The primitive view

Du Xuanjin felt that her life had come to a perfect end. She touched her chest with severe pain and said, "I really can't do it anymore."

It's a pity that all the items haven't been given away yet." Du Xuanjin entered the space at the last moment when she lost consciousness. She couldn't let herself be exposed in the wilderness and become food for wild beasts.
