After the simple morning class, Ni Pei walked briskly towards Gu Xici.

"Have you had breakfast?" Ni Pei asked concisely.

Gu Xici nodded, "Thank you for the porridge."

"It's your reward for those candies. Most of the children here have never seen candies." Ni Pei's eyes softened as he looked at the children scrambling to eat, and there was a touch of melancholy in his tone.

"Why do you want to build the school in such a barren place on the mountain? It's easy to be dangerous." Gu Xici frowned and asked.

Ni Pei glanced at Gu Xici, and suddenly asked, "Is this the beginning of the interview?"

"Before I came here, I didn't expect that there would be a school. I didn't prepare well for the interview. I ask Teacher Ni Pei not to mind." Gu Xici finished speaking fluently.

Ni Pei smiled and nodded. She was originally pretty and handsome, but when she smiled like this, she was full of aura, which made people feel very comfortable.

"In life, it's impossible to prepare in advance." Ni Pei said this very lightly, but Gu Xici still heard it clearly.

Intuition told Gu Xici that the young female teacher in front of her should be someone with a story.

Although it was a temporary decision to interview Ni Pei, they hit it off very well and spent the morning sitting quietly chatting.

During nap time, the two women lay quietly on the bed, listening to the sound of the breeze outside the window, their hearts were very peaceful.

"Ni Pei, can I ask you a question, it has nothing to do with the interview." Gu Xici suddenly asked.

"Well, it depends on whether I want to answer or not." Ni Pei replied quickly, obviously not asleep.

Gu Xici didn't care, and continued to ask, "You are so young, how could you think of coming here to teach?"

"There's nothing wrong with teaching here. It's far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and it makes people return to nature." Ni Pei's answer sounded impeccable.

Gu Xici moved slightly, and there was a sound from the wooden bed, "I'm asking why, not how I feel."

"Then what about you, why are you willing to travel all the way from S City to the poor valley to experience life?" Ni Pei asked without answering.

Gu Xici closed his eyes, dazed for a moment, Su Liyuan's cold face flashed in his mind, "I was asking you, why did you ask me instead?"

"You don't want to answer, I just want to tell you that I also don't want to answer your question." Ni Pei said lightly, "Actually, many questions don't need answers, and the answers don't seem so important in the face of time." It's important."

Gu Xici glanced at the teacher Ni Pei who was always pouring chicken soup for his soul from time to time, and said nothing.

As the evening approached, Gu Xici was scribbling in her room, rushing to write. Without a laptop, she could only return to innocence and write by hand.

Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound in the sky, and then, dazzling lightning pierced the sky.

Before Gu Xici had time to react, Ni Pei ran in in a panic, with a nervous expression on his pretty face, "It's no good, it's going to rain soon."

"Heavy rain?" Gu Xici suddenly had a bad idea in his mind. Even if he had no common sense, he should know that the mountainous area that has just experienced mudslides cannot withstand the baptism of wind and rain. What's more, it was an unexpected rainstorm, " The situation is critical, hurry up and escort the children down the mountain."

Before Ni Pei could speak, the downpour poured down. She looked at the dark night, sighed deeply, and said, "It's too late."

"Before it rains heavily, maybe we can go down the mountain, but if we don't leave, we will be trapped here." Gu Xici said anxiously.

Ni Pei shook his head, "After the mudslide, the mountain road was already difficult to walk, but now it's raining again, and the road down the mountain may be even slippery. It's dark and midnight, and the rain blocks the sight. If you are not careful, you will fall down. At that point, we’re really in a dilemma.”

"Teacher Ni Pei is right, Ah Ci, we can't move yet." Tao Ze said beside her.

There was another muffled thunder in the sky, and the rain outside the window tended to intensify, "Then what should we do now?"

"We can only wait." Ni Pei said with firm eyes.

"Let the children come inside. It seems that this wooden house is the most tightly built and can temporarily shelter from the wind and rain. In case of any emergency, the centralized place where people stay can be more convenient and better dealt with. " Right now, there is really no better solution, so Gu Xici has no choice but to compromise.

Ni Pei nodded, "Okay, you guys clean up the room first, make room, and I'll bring the children over."

"I'll go with you." Tao Ze quickly took off the camera and followed Ni Pei.

There was a bang, lightning and thunder, and wind and rain.

The wooden house was suddenly plunged into darkness, and Gu Xici screamed in fright, fortunately there was the faint light of the camera.

"The wind probably disconnected the circuit. We have to wait until the storm has stopped before we can go and check." Ni Pei took the children to the wooden house and explained to Gu Xici.

In fact, Gu Xici herself was not that timid, but the wooden house suddenly turned dark, which caught her off guard and had no time to prepare.

"It's okay." Gu Xici said softly.

The arrival of the children made the originally small wooden house even more crowded, almost sitting side by side on the floor, and the sound of lightning and thunder could be heard endlessly.

"Are you afraid?" Gu Xici suddenly asked.

"I used to be afraid, but now I'm used to it, so I'm not afraid anymore." The older boy said.

Hearing the boy's answer, Gu Xici's heart was inexplicably sad. They were only a few years older than Gu Nuannuan and Gu Xiaoyang, but they lived such a hard life.

"Have you ever thought about living in another place? After all, it's very dangerous." Gu Xici asked immediately.

Ni Pei sighed softly, touched the head of the girl next to him, and said, "They have lived here for generations, their parents have gone to the city to make money, and they haven't seen each other for several years. If they really leave, wait for them When the parents come back, I’m afraid they won’t be found.”

"Is there no other way?" Gu Xici asked.

Ni Pei shook his head, "Even though the society is so advanced today, there are still places where it lags behind. However, if you can write down the situation here truthfully, maybe the parents of the children will come back after seeing it."

"Don't worry, we will definitely do it." Gu Xici said solemnly, as if making a promise.

Ni Pei smiled wryly, "Then you have to deal with the current predicament first."

Gu Xici looked out the window with firm eyes, and muttered to himself, "Someone will come to save us."
