It was Wu Sanmei's voice.

Because of today's misunderstanding, Zhou Xiaozhou was frightened and injured. In order to express their apologies, the Wu family arranged for Zhou Xiaozhou to stay.

They lived in the small room that the third sister and Wu Xiaobao shared.

It was called a small room, but in fact it was just a small bed separated from her parents' room, with a small table and a small chair, and not even a proper box for clothes, which showed that the house was bare.

The third sister and Xiaobao ran to squeeze in with her mother, but her father was driven out and didn't know where he could go to spend the night.

Look, after washing the dust that Wu Xiaobao had gotten on him today, the third sister carried the dirty water out of the house.

At a glance, she noticed that there was a monster in her yard. She was so scared that she dropped the basin to the ground, spilling dirty water all over the floor.

The monster had disheveled hair, walked unsteadily, and made a hissing sound from its mouth.

The left side is low, and the right side, facing Wu Sanmei, has a big bulge. I don’t know if there are noses and eyes on the bulge, and how many noses and eyes there are?

Wu Sanmei looked brave and careful, but she was, after all, a child who had never seen the world and a farm girl who was used to hearing ghost stories in the mountains. She was frightened out of her wits.

Hearing Wu Sanmei's exclamation, the wooden door of Old Wu's house opened with a bang, and a group of middle-aged men rushed out, which scared Zhou Xiaozhou.

Yes, who else could it be if it wasn’t Zhou Xiaozhou, the third sister, who greeted him?

Zhou Xiaozhou, who was caught running away, smiled awkwardly: "If I said I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and came out for a walk, would you believe me?"

The people in Lai'an Village are not fools, and Zhou Xiaozhou's weak explanation is not convincing at all.

Now, in the main hall of the Wu family, the oil lamp that old Wu was reluctant to light finally emitted a dim light.

Zhou Xiaozhou sat upright on a bench, accepting the judgment of fate.

"That Miss Zhou," Old Wu cleared his throat and spoke with difficulty, "Don't be afraid."

Zhou Xiaozhou shuddered with fear. How could he not be afraid!

There were a dozen people surrounding her in the room, their eyes burning as if they wanted to eat her alive.

She is a young female college student. She looks a little naive and easy to fool, but she is not really stupid.

The weirdness of this village had reached a point where she could no longer deceive herself.

At first, I thought they were a film crew setting up the scene for filming, and later they were mistaken for human traffickers. All these things show that these people are really living in such a poor place where people cannot even afford to eat or wear clothes.

Forgive her for not being able to forget the bowl of wild vegetable porridge for dinner. The food her mother, Ms. Liu, took her to when she went to Yikushishang was even more delicious than this!

"Well, I'm not afraid." Zhou Xiaozhou swallowed.

Swallowing saliva is one of the physiological reactions when people are afraid. There are also other physiological reactions, such as shaking hands and feet.

Zhou Xiaozhou's feet are shaking unconsciously now.

Then she mustered up her courage and, before Old Wu could speak, she tried to impress him: "Village Chief, the night is so beautiful tonight!"

Ugh! Why did she say that?

I quickly made amends: "No, village chief, I mean the moon is really bright today. You guys protect the environment really well here. I have never seen such beautiful stars before. We went to Niubei Mountain specifically to see them, and we still haven't seen anything as beautiful as this."

Forgive her incoherent speech and rambling.

Mainly, I'm really scared.

Silence, still silence. Everyone in the room, big (participants) and small (Wu Sanmei and Wu Xiaobao), could only remain silent.

"Well, Miss Zhou," Li Jinniu broke the silence again, "We discussed it and found out that you are going to come to our village to teach, right?"

Zhou Xiaozhou blinked, not knowing how to respond.

"Well~" Li Jinniu glanced at the village chief, Old Wu.

Old Wu nodded and motioned him to continue: "Our village still has this school. Look, you are here, why not just stay here and feel at ease!"

Zhou Xiaozhou, who was shouting "no" in his heart, is now a little speechless.

She doesn't want to stay!

This place is really, really challenging. Thanks to Lao Zhou for his inspirational education and to my comrade uncle for his careful arrangements.

"I still have to report to the principal," Zhou Xiaozhou wanted to refuse tactfully, but he was afraid that if he refused too harshly, these men would take extreme measures.

"Oh! Principal! I need to report to the principal." Li Jinniu looked at the village chief Old Wu helplessly. This question was beyond the syllabus and he didn't know the answer.

Old Wu took over the conversation: "We have already asked the principal for you. He is not in our village now."

Old Wu thought that he was right.

There is indeed no such person as "Principal" in their village.

Zhou Xiaozhou still wanted to struggle: "Okay, then I'll go back to the county first, and when the principal comes back, I'll report to him. Is that okay with you?"

Of course this wasn't possible. Everyone discussed and wanted to keep Zhou Xiaozhou, so how could they let him go back to the county?

She has to wait for the principal to come back before reporting. Who knows where to find that principal for her.

"Well, for the matter you reported, just go to the village chief." Li Jinniu suddenly had an idea and gave a solution. "Right, village chief."

Old Wu nodded quickly: "Miss Zhou, we all saw you coming here today. Your report was successful."

What?

This is a bit too casual.

Zhou Xiaozhou disagreed, but since he couldn't escape, he had to follow the rules.

"No, I mean you have to make a report to the county and say that my report was successful."

Zhou Xiaozhou wanted to try and see whether this place only blocked her cell phone signal, or whether there was no cell phone signal at all and no base station.

He also has to report to the county, but Old Wu doesn't want to have anything to do with the county at all.

No one else in the room wanted to do that, except Zhou Xiaozhou.

Old Wu stroked his shiny copper pipe and said, "We know about this and will contact the county. Don't worry!"

How could she be at ease? Zhou Xiaozhou now reasonably suspected that this seemingly honest village chief was fooling her.

"Well, village chief, it's not that I don't want to stay. It's mainly because I just came here to report in today, and I haven't brought anything with me." Zhou Xiaozhou kicked the backpack lying at his feet behind himself.

Inside was a streamlined rural life (survival) gift package developed by her mother, Ms. Liu, and her roommate, Lu Linlin.

Including all the small items that female college students should have for washing, skin care, mosquito repellent, etc. and one or two sets of basic warm clothing.

Of course, after she reports today, she will need to purchase additional bedding, washbasins and other daily necessities and office supplies, not to mention the two large suitcases she has stored at Lu Linlin's house.

"You see, I have nothing here, so I really have to go back to the county to buy something." Zhou Xiaozhou added another drastic measure to seek benefits for himself.

"When I came here, the county government had already told me that your village has everything, everything is ready for me, and they will arrange a place for me to stay and solve the problem of food. But when I walked into the village just now~"

Zhou Xiaozhou finally remembered something fatal.

"Hey, where is our village school?"
