Forest Kindergarten

Zongshan is a large piece of virgin forest. In the early years, there were Orion in the mountain, but after the government confiscated the land, the Orion went down the mountain to farm.

Since no one enters the deep mountain anymore, and the government has issued a ban on cutting down trees privately, Zongshan has become more and more mysterious, and related legends have also increased.

The most popular one is the mountain god fox demon.Zongshan Mountain is beautiful, and the most important thing is to raise demons. According to legend, there are not one thousand but eight hundred monsters in the old forest of Zongshan Mountain. Some of them can even take human form and come down the mountain to live with people.

The old people are familiar with this kind of thing. Someone’s uncle met an old man at the entrance of the village and asked him for saliva. The uncle felt that the old man looked familiar. When he came home, he saw the photo of his great-grandfather who passed away many years enshrined on the Buddhist altar. Only to find that it was exactly the same as the old man just now.

The old people said that it was the fox demon or civet cat demon who changed according to the photos.

The adventures of the previous hunters are the most convincing. Among the wild animals in the mountains, foxes, civet cats, white deer, snake boas, owls, etc. cannot be hunted. They are all spiritual animals.Foxes in particular are respected by hunters as local gods.

If they are accidentally injured, the most experienced hunters will not be able to get out and will be trapped to death in the woods.

Decades ago, before the guns were confiscated, two hunters entered the mountain and never came out again. Their relatives searched for them several times, but only found their guns on the way into the mountain. So disappeared.

"So, no one dares to go into the deep mountains. There are..." Lao Hu's eyes widened, and he reached out to catch Fei Ya and Fei Miao. "Human-eating monsters!"

Fei Ya hid quickly, but Lao Hu caught Fei Miao and brought him to his knees to hold her.

Fei Miao was two and a half years old, and she still couldn't speak well. After barking for a long time, panting for breath, she said with a smile, "Big raccoon, two raccoons, three raccoons!"

The village chief asked, "What is Miaozi talking about?"

Ye Kong replied calmly: "In the past few days, I have taught him numbers within tens."

He had already told the two children not to tell about the baby animals living in the school. Fei Ya was very strict with her mouth.

Grandma: "How old is it that counts?"

Village head: "Learn well early, early childhood education is popular in the city, and there are still people who are not born yet, and start teaching poetry reciting from the belly."

Grandma was confused when she heard it: "The kid can recite poems when he comes out?"

The folks in the house laughed.

The village chief asked, "Where is Daxin?"

Ye Kong: "Now is the time when other schools are on summer vacation. I gave him ten days off and he went home."

The village head nodded: "How is it? These bastards learned it?"

Ye Kong: "Daxin is very hardworking. He has almost learned the fourth grade courses. When he comes back, he will start the fifth grade courses. I will have to go to the town to buy textbooks later."

He touched the top of Fei Ya's head: "Ya'er is very smart, you can learn it as soon as you learn it." Fei Ya grinned happily, her eyes disappeared from her smile, two of her lower front teeth fell out, and the wind leaked when she spoke, Ye Kong added , "If you can be more serious, those sloppy mistakes will disappear, and Ya'er will get more [-] points!"

Fei Ya nodded heavily: "I want to get [-] points in the test!"

Ye Kong: "Miaozi is in the enlightenment stage now. He mainly focuses on playing and learns from playing. Also, Miaozi is a very good little assistant, who can help the teacher sweep the floor."

A few people were eating and chatting at Lao Hu's house until evening when someone knocked on the door suddenly.

Lao Hu went to answer the door, and when he saw someone, he said loudly, "Old Huang!"

The village chief greeted him. Lao Huang is an assistant of the town hall and often visits several villages.

He took out a board from the van, tore off the cloth, and a few large characters were engraved on the log-colored long board: "Forest Kindergarten".

Lao Huang pointed at the board: "Tell the teacher in the town that it is called Forest Elementary School. He somehow turned it into a kindergarten. No matter how small the school is, it must be a school. What's the matter with making it a kindergarten!"

The village chief took it and handed it to Ye Kong, who said, "That's it, the children in the school are not big anyway."

Old Huang: "Sure, I'll hang it up later, and I'll take a picture. Mayor Ma said that the word kindergarten below should be a primary school. The town's budget is limited, so I'm sorry for Teacher Ye."

Ye Kong doesn't mind whether it's listed or not, let alone just the name is wrong.

Lao Huang drove away after he got the sign and took pictures.

He came back within a few minutes and handed a letter to the village chief: "It's from the mayor." After finishing speaking, he left without saying hello.

Holding the letter, the village chief muttered: "This old Huang, he doesn't look like him."

He opened the letter, put on his presbyopic glasses, and read it: "...From today, Forest Kindergarten will accept school-age children from other villages. Teacher Ye Kong, please get ready."

After the village head finished reading, he handed the letter to Ye Kong, and said angrily: "I haven't heard of any village that wants to come. The nearest village is not close to Lingshan Village. Instead of coming here, it's better to go to the town. I think the town is bullying Teacher Xiaokong!"

Ye Kong: "It's okay, I like children, the more the better, although it looks busy, but the children can play together and take care of each other. The vegetables in my field are enough to eat when they are ripe."

The village chief really didn't mind seeing him, so he didn't say anything anymore: "Okay, the town is not responsible, Zongshan Village is responsible, as many cubs as there are, they have enough food and vegetables. If Teacher Xiaokong has anything to say, we teach No, it’s still okay to take care of the cubs.”

A few days later, the village chief saw four new cubs, a pair of twin boys, seven years old, a girl, also seven years old, and a four-year-old girl with double ponytails and a striped dress.

"What's your name?" the village head bent down and asked her.

The little girl hid behind Ye Kong and whispered, "Little Hua..."

"Little Hua, you are so cute, don't be afraid, grandpa gave you sweets, but do you still want peaches?" The village head asked her to pick a big peach with sorghum in one hand.

Xiaohua looked at it, slowly stretched out her small hand to hold Taozi, hugged her in her arms, and smiled shyly at the village chief behind Ye Kong: "Thank you."

The children were playing together, and the village head pointed to the vegetable field and flower garden in front of the school and said, "It has grown so tall so quickly?" He jumped off the porch, put on his slippers and walked over to have a look, "The tomatoes are ready to grow seedlings."

Ye Kong: "I'll chop a bamboo later and make it stronger."

Village head: "I'll give you some eggplants, peppers, zucchini, and tomatoes together. Your land is really aura. No one liked it before. I didn't expect it to grow so well! Hey! Flowers grow like this Taller!"

Reiki...

Ye Kong thought of Lianpei uncontrollably. This land should have been blessed by Lianpei with spiritual power to grow so well.

He looked up at the blue sky and the mountains in the distance. Huge clouds floated in the sky, casting large shadows on the nearby hillsides.

I don't know what happened to Lian Pei after so many days?Although he spoke confidently that day, was he injured?Not even a letter...

He worried

"... Teacher, Teacher Xiao Kong!"

Ye Kong came back to his senses and asked: "What's wrong, village chief?"

The village head said, "Why are you so absorbed in your thoughts? I was asking if you want to take the children to my house for dinner at noon?"

Ye Kong: "Don't bother you, I steamed the rice in the morning, ate fried rice at noon, fried three more vegetables, and made a soup. It's no trouble. I didn't finish the fish and vegetables that you and Uncle Hu gave me last time. .”

The village chief declined his offer to stay and have dinner together, and went home.

Ye Kong fried the prickly ash sprouts on top of the batter until they were crispy, and put some salt and pepper on a small plate.

Dice vegetables such as carrots and potatoes, stir-fry with corn and peas, add rice and salt, and stir-fry with the fried eggs just now.

Feiya and Erli took Xiaohua's younger sister to play outside. After Ye Kong put the stewed fish on a plate, he put onion and coriander on it.Fei Ya shouted: "Teacher Xiaokong, teacher! The big raccoon picked the broken bowl!"

Ye Kong put the plate on the table, wiped his hands, and Fei Ya came over with the big raccoon: "Teacher, look!"

The big raccoon is holding a pink flower in his hand, which looks like a morning glory, but there are white gaps between the petals.

The big raccoon said aggrievedly: "The morning glory..."

Ye Kong: "This is not morning glory, big beaver, its leaves are pointed, and the leaves of morning glory are in the shape of sweet potatoes." He took the flower in his hand and told several children, "But it is also It’s not the flower that breaks the bowl, you see it has a small gap, the gap won’t be so small if the bowl is broken, right? That’s why it’s called the flower that hits the bowl, and it won’t break the bowl if you pick it off, don’t worry.”

The big raccoon happily ran to play.

Ye Kong made several animal children look like human children according to the photos, and then let the big raccoon, two raccoons and three raccoons stack up together, and turned into the appearance of Lao Huang, the assistant of the town office, to deliver letters to the village. Even if you are accidentally seen by the villagers, you will not reveal your secrets.

He had just comforted the big raccoon, and there was a howl of "Aw", and he hurried over.

There is a big walnut tree behind the small warehouse. In this season, a lot of green walnuts grow among the lush green leaves, and the little flower is squatting on the ground, spitting.

"What's the matter?" Ye Kong knelt down and saw the crushed green walnuts on the ground. He smiled and said, "It's very astringent, isn't it? The walnuts are not yet ripe, at least they can't be eaten until after the summer heat. Go into the house and rinse your mouth Bar."

There are more children, and the school is also busy. Ye Kong has almost no time to rest. Fortunately, Daxin will be back in a few days.

To educate children, nature is the best place, but there must also be certain rules, such as washing hands before meals and after going to the ground after going to the ground. Now even the youngest Fei Miao can move a small bench by himself and wash his hands in a decent manner up.

He took the children around the school and told the animal children what they can eat and what they cannot eat. Animal children are different from humans. They will go back to live in the mountains in the future. These skills of distinguishing food must be mastered. of.

With six children, he was exhausted after a few days. When the children were asleep, he sat on the porch with a cup of barley tea and enjoyed the rare private time.

The crescent moon is passing through the silky clouds, the stars are sparsely hanging in the distant sky, the tomato seedlings have already grabbed the poles, and on the ground under the porch, big black ants are crawling under the house in a line.

The wind blowing from the mountains has a sweet fragrance, like the smell in the sea of ​​flowers that night.

He was thankful that he was very busy, otherwise, as long as he was free like now, he would have the urge to rush into the mountains.

There was a rustling sound from under the porch. He put down his teacup and bent over to look. In the darkness, two lights rushed towards him.

"Hey!" He covered his forehead and grabbed the tail of a big squirrel, "Why did you hit me?"

The big squirrel squeaked twice, as if saying that my head hurts too!

Ye Kong put it away, and the big squirrel ran back to the porch, dragged it for a long time, and dragged out a small cloth bag, squeaking.

Ye Kong picked up the cloth bag and opened it, and there was a whole large Ganoderma lucidum inside: "For me?"

Squirrel nodded.

Ye Kong muttered to himself: "Why didn't he come by himself?" The squirrel chirped for a long time, as if explaining.

Ye Kong smiled and stroked its big fluffy tail: "Is he not injured?"

Squirrel shook his head.

Ye Kong grabbed the nuts and gave them to the squirrel: "Thank you. Tell him for me, I...I'm very...let him come back safely."
