Li Shaoan comforted the terrified children, and then rushed towards the dumped ruins desperately.

Looking up, there was a ruined wall and a mess. Where could you see Zhang Shide's figure?

"Principal Zhang, Principal Zhang..."

He shouted over and over again, but couldn't hear any response.

In order to quickly dig out Zhang Shide from the ruins, the anxious Li Shaoan started to dig it up.

Li Shaoan had a bad premonition. The house collapsed and was buried underneath. In addition, the rain was too heavy, and the chance of survival was very small. Perhaps Zhang Shide had been gone for a long time, but he had an obsession in his heart that he had to see people alive and corpses when he died. No matter what, he had to dig out Zhang Shide.

Zhang Shide was Li Shaoan's enlightenment teacher. He recalled the scene of him studying with Zhang Shide, and recalled that Zhang Shide had been doing everything in rural primary schools for decades. While digging, he shed two lines of turbid tears, and mixed with rain and slid down his cheeks.

The heavy rain poured down, as if it was about to soak the small village in the rain.

Li Shaoan was still digging in the ruins. The Li family who came after hearing the news had arrived. Then the Qian family rushed over, and the village party secretary Chen Baozhong also came with him.

We all started rummaging together in the heavy rain, hoping to rescue Zhang Shide soon.

There were many people and strong forces. Dozens of people went into battle together and quickly moved the collapsed ruins away. Suddenly, a palm was seen under the pile of bricks, and everyone's hearts suddenly became thrust.

The skin of the old and mottled palm has turned pale white, which is definitely not the skin color that a normal living person should have. When you touch it, you just feel as cold as the rain.

Everyone carefully moved the bricks covered on them with their hands together. A heartbreaking scene appeared. Zhang Shide had closed his eyes and rested forever.

On his face, there was no panic when the house collapsed, but a hint of relief. Perhaps it was before the classroom collapsed that he moved all the students to a safe place, so he smiled like this.

The heavy rain kept washing Zhang Shide's face. All the villagers who came to rescue were silent. They stood in the rain, stood silently, and were in a deep mood.

Li Shaoan squatted in front of Zhang Shide, looking depressed, as if he had lost his soul, and the corners of his mouth were trying hard to control his convulsions, preventing himself from crying in front of the villagers.

Chen Baozhong walked over, patted Li Shaoan on the shoulder, and comforted him: "We all feel very sad when something like this happens. People cannot be resurrected by death. I am so sad..."

"Principal Zhang devoted his life to this primary school, but he didn't expect that in the end..." Li Shaoan said, feeling tears occupying his eyes again, his eyes blurred, and he could no longer say anything, and he supported his forehead with his hands, feeling very sad.

Chen Baozhong said in a deep tone: "I will report Principal Zhang's heroic deeds, and we will definitely not let our heroes leave silently."

...

A huge rainstorm covered this quiet mountain village with a deep breath.

Zhang Shide sacrificed himself, like a ferry, sending the children to the other side of life, and sticking to the last moment until danger comes.

Afterwards, Liao Chunyang took Wang Yu back to the county with a shame. He knew that as the person in charge of this flood prevention work, he could not escape his responsibility. He had no choice but to be dismissed. If he was not held accountable, he would burn incense. He would think about what he would do in the future.

Chen Baozhong reported the disaster to the town. The town leaders came to the village for inspection, then hurriedly left, leaving a memorial, saying that they wanted to report the situation to the county and waited for the county to give instructions. This might take ten days and half a month.

It takes time to wait for the above instructions, and the problem that needs to be solved urgently is Zhang Shide's funeral.

When a person dies, he doesn’t just dig a pit or bury it. He has to find a place first and then dig a burial pit after finding a place.

According to local rules, people will be buried on their own hills after they die, and the new tomb is connected to the ancestral tombs. However, Zhang Shide is just a lonely man, and it seems that it is not appropriate to bury anyone's ancestral mountain.

After discussing, the villagers unanimously felt that burying Zhang Shide on the back mountain of the school was a good suggestion. Zhang Shide stayed in this school all his life. Now that people have left, they have become a pile of graves, and they can continue to protect this school on the back mountain.

The place for burial was chosen, but there was another more difficult question next, that is, where did the coffin come from.

Tieshanwan, usually elderly people will prepare their coffin after their death when they are in good health.

But Zhang Shide was suddenly involved and he didn't prepare a coffin before. In desperation, where to get the coffin became the most troublesome problem.

In this weather, the body cannot be stored for a long time and will smell bad in no time. It must be solved as soon as possible.

For this matter, Li Shaoan and Chen Baozhong got together, but after thinking about it, there was still no good solution.

"Is there nothing I can do with the little carpenter?" Chen Baozhong asked.

Li Shaoan frowned and shook his head, "I asked, it's okay to do it, but I can't catch up. I usually have to prepare wood several months in advance to make a coffin, but it's not enough."

Chen Baozhong suggested: "What if I go to borrow it? Let's go to the people in the village who have prepared coffins to ask them if they can borrow it. The money for the coffin will be paid by the village committee."

Borrowing? Li Shaoan didn't expect this method before. It sounded like this now, but it was a taboo thing to borrow the coffin prepared by others. It is not easy to use it.

But this problem must be solved quickly. Although it is a taboo thing, you have to try it out.

Chen Baozhong brought village cadres, Li Shaoan and the two families of Qian and Li took action separately and went to each household with coffin to ask. The result was naturally conceivable. When they heard that they wanted to borrow a coffin, they didn't want to, and they all thought it was an unlucky thing.

"Oh, these people are really." Qian Xiaolin complained to Li Shaoan dejectedly.

Li Shaoan comforted with a wry smile: "Don't say that, when encountering such a thing, everyone will feel sad. It's really taboo to borrow a coffin. It's a good idea for others to borrow it, and it's reasonable not to borrow it. You can't blame it."

A group of people asked almost every household in Tieshan Bay, and everyone had the same reaction. They heard that Zhang Shide was willing to pay for it but were unwilling to borrow a coffin when he was killed.

I just returned to the village headquarters in a dusty state. When I arrived at the gate, everyone was shocked. I saw a thick black painted coffin at the gate of the village headquarters. The coffin was not placed on the ground, but was separated by several benches, and the coffin did not fall to the ground. This is a custom.

Looking at the exquisite coffin, everyone was confused. At this time, a white-headed old man walked out of the village, followed by Wang Changgui and his family.

The old man is also a villager in the village, named Wang Shankui, who is Wang Changgui's father.

"Uncle Wang, are you?" Chen Baozhong greeted him, not understanding his intention.

Wang Shankui grabbed Chen Baozhong's hand, "I heard that you are looking for people to borrow coffins everywhere. Old man, I thought, there was such a coffin placed in my house. I was just in need of it, so I asked the juniors at home to carry the coffin over."

Chen Baozhong's eyes were red and he bowed deeply to Wang Shankui, "Mr. Wang, you are really a timely helper and have great righteousness. On behalf of all the village cadres, I thank you."

"Get up quickly, get up quickly." Wang Shankui helped Chen Baozhong up.

Chen Baozhong refused to get up and said, "Old Master Wang is very wise, and I am really ashamed of myself when I am waiting in front of you."

"Oh, saying this is a slap in my old man!" Wang Shankui said in tears, "It is my old man's honor to be used to lie to our Tieshan Bay's great hero."

Wang Shankui's words made everyone present red eyes. He didn't expect that an old man over 70 years old would have such a broad mind.

Li Shaoan and others also bowed to Wang Shankui.

Wang Shankui jumped anxiously and said, "What are you young people, what are you doing?"
