185 The Land of Hope
The location of the mutual aid club for disaster victims is located in the west of Chaoxi City, but unlike Gaoqi imagined that it is a region where hills transition to mountainous areas. There are mountains, but most of them are low mountains that are not too high.
The mountains are continuous, with large flat land in the mountains, and a large river in front of the mountains. The flat land between the mountains can be cultivated, the water source is sufficient, and it is also convenient to hide in the mountains to fight guerrillas.
Professor Su chose a good place.
Gao Qi was enjoying the scenery that he couldn't see in the city, but it was already early November. The mountains were already very cold. The tree had almost fallen, and the weeds all over the ground were already withered and yellow, so the scenery was not very beautiful.
But Gao Qi still looked at it very seriously. The reason is funny because he had never seen a mountain before.
The road has come to an end, and Professor Su will definitely not build the camp next to the main road, so after getting off the bus, it will take a long walk.
Gao Qi followed Mujian all the way through the mountains.
Gao Qi could no longer keep up with Mujian's footsteps. He was carrying a box that was a bit heavy, and his physical strength was not good. Walking more than ten miles in the mountains in one breath really made him very tired.
Looking at Gao Qi's appearance, Mu Jian finally said, "I'll carry it for you."
Gao Qi shook his head and said, "What kind of tree is this? Is it a persimmon?"
Gao Qi pointed to a big tree, and there were red fruits hanging on the branches on the big tree. After Mu Jian took a look, he immediately said, "That's right, it's a persimmon."
"Did no one pick persimmons to eat?"
Mujian spread his hands and said, "It's not that no one eats it, it's because there are too many persimmons in the mountains and I can't eat it. Team leader Gao, let's go here."
Gao Qi still knew persimmons, but he changed the topic because the things in the box were too important and he didn't want to hand over the box to anyone else.
Finally, after turning a small valley, Gao Qi saw a village.
This is a mountain village, but the houses are not broken. They are all brick, tiles and cement houses built before the disaster. Although no one has taken care of for more than 20 years and the village is full of trees and weeds, it is obvious that after just now, the trees that must be cut down were piled up next to the road, with piles of weeds and branches and garbage everywhere.
There were two people standing at the entrance of the village, with guns hanging on their shoulders. After seeing Gao Qi, they just looked at them with a vigilant look, but did not leave their standing position.
Judging from the terrain, the village should not be big, at most it looks like a dozen or twenty households, and the first house at the entrance of the village even has a complete gate.
When passing by the first house in the village, Gao Qi looked up and saw two people standing on the roof, staring at him with vigilant eyes.
And at this time, Gao Qi heard the sound of reading.
It seemed as if he had been hit by the soul. At the moment when he heard the sound of reading, he had goose bumps on his body.
In this wasteland after the doomsday, those surviving children of wasteland can finally study again.
"How many flowers fall..."
Gao Qi heard the familiar Tang poem. He no longer had to let Mujian lead the way, but followed the sound and walked into a courtyard.
The chimney was smoking, and the window glass was very complete. He walked a few steps high. Then he saw more than a dozen children from the window, and Professor Su, who was standing in front of a wooden blackboard and writing with lime blocks.
Gao Qi did not push the door open or knock on the window, so he stood outside the window and watched Professor Su teach class for more than 20 children.
Older children may be in their teens and youngest children are only four or five years old, but they are all learning the same poem.
And those older children were carrying guns, regardless of gender.
"Read to me again, I will not feel the morning after spring sleep..."
So simple, so kind, so... beautiful.
There should be a lot of things waiting for Professor Su to deal with in the mutual aid association of disaster victims, but Professor Su is here to teach children to study, but Gao Qi doesn't find it strange at all. On the contrary, he also thinks that what Professor Su is doing is very good and very important.
People who live in peaceful times and in an extremely materialistic era will never imagine how happy and important it is to be able to receive education.
There is really no desk for the deserted people on the wasteland.
There are classrooms and children studying here, so this is not wasteland, but a place full of hope.
So what is Professor Su doing?
Professor Su is not just imparting knowledge, he is bringing hope to the people here.
Gao Qi kept watching, Lao Niu stood beside him and watched, and then Lao Niu was already in tears at some point.
In November, early winter, the mountains are very cold.
But Gao Qi stood outside the classroom and watched Professor Su take the forty minutes of class through the window.
So are old cows.
Finally, after looking at the watch, Professor Su shouted: "Okay, today's class will be over and the get out of class will be over."
"stand up."
A child with a gun on his back stood up and shouted loudly. After all the children stood up, they shouted loudly: "Goodbye to the teacher."
Professor Su nodded: "Goodbye, classmates."
Professor Su finally opened the classroom door, and then he said to Gao Qi: "I'll be anxious."
"No, it feels like you're back in your class, but you don't have so many students."
Professor Su smiled slightly, and he smiled very comforted and happy.
The students came out, and a few children ran out and started playing in the yard. The older children looked at Gao Qi curiously at the door, and then finally a 14 or 15-year-old child said, "Teacher Su, who is he?"
Professor Su said seriously: "This is your senior brother."
"Hello, senior brother."
Several children greeted Gao Qi together. They were not very reserved or polite, but they all seemed very enthusiastic and happy.
Gao Qi was also very happy, not sure why.
Professor Su stretched out his hand to Lao Niu and smiled and said, "Old Niu is here too. Welcome to my room and say it. It's cold in the mountains. Let's drink some hot water to warm up your body."
Mujian did not come with him, Gao Qi and Lao Niu followed him to Professor Su's residence, which was just behind the school. The house was not big, the layout was very simple and cold.
Professor Su took out the match, ignited a handful of hay, stuffed the hay into a cast iron stove. After the fire started, he filled the firewood into the furnace and put a water-filled aluminum pot on the stove. He smiled at Gao Qi and said, "It will be no longer cold soon. The water here is very good. Unfortunately, there is no tea to entertain you. Let's talk about it now, suddenly come to me. Is something wrong?"
Gao Qi nodded, and he put the box he had worked hard on the bed. After opening it, he pointed to two silver-white tube objects in the box and said, "This is the genetic modification liquid for you."
Professor Su's smile disappeared instantly, and then he said in surprise: "Genetic modification liquid?"
