Chapter 138 Teaching children to be self-reliant
"You have to go even if you can't. It's not safe here. Those monsters may rush out at any time and snatch you away for food. You don't want to die here, do you?"
"But teacher, we only use two legs to walk. We don't know when we will arrive."
"And the weather is so cold, I'm afraid we'll be frozen to death before we even get there."
"Then what do you want to do? Stay here and be killed by monsters? Or stay here and freeze to death?"
Facing this group of ignorant children, Cui Yuqing was helpless, but he couldn't ignore them. After all, they were living lives.
"Okay, do you want to go or not? Teacher, we will tell you
leave. "
At this time, Yang Qianqian said loudly, and then walked to Cui Yuqing.
Seeing that she was willing to follow Cui Yuqing, everyone else had no choice but to
Walked to him, lowered his head, and prepared to leave.
Seeing them following him, Cui Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief and started to lead them towards his home.
His family lives in Huanyu Community, 6.5 kilometers away from here. For safety, he asked the students to hold hands while he opened the way in front.
Because the snow was deep into their thighs, every step was very difficult. It took them two days to cover the 6.5 kilometers.
When he arrived at Huanyu Community, it was already around four o'clock in the morning on the third day. After finding his floor, he tremblingly took out his key and opened the door.
Due to the power outage, the air conditioner in his home could not be used at all. After taking the students into the house, he asked them to move all the stools at home to the living room, dismantle them and light them for heating.
After two days of trekking, the students were exhausted. Every one of them had lost their strength. In addition, they had not eaten for several days and were almost exhausted.
Cui Yuqing looked at their appearance, then went into the kitchen to look for food. Fortunately, he had bought vegetables before, and there were some instant noodles in the cabinet next to him, so he went downstairs to shovel some snow, and used the fire in the living room to clear the snow. Melt and boil and make instant noodles for them.
After eating and drinking, the students' faces regained their energy.
"Teacher, we are full and a little sleepy. Do you still have mattresses and quilts at home? We want to take a rest."
There is a fire in the living room and it is warmer than other rooms, so the students are naturally more willing to sleep outside.
Cui Yuqing's house has four rooms, three of which are bedrooms, with quilts, mattresses and everything else.
He nodded and asked them to move the mats and quilts and spread them in the middle of the living room, and the students slept on them.
Looking at the more than twenty students, his eyes were a little lonely.
Although they have escaped from the dangerous school, food has become a problem again. If they can't find food, they will starve to death sooner or later.
Thinking of this, he only felt a headache.
The warm and safe environment, coupled with the sleepiness of the past few days, made him feel that his eyelids were too heavy to open, and he fell asleep without realizing it.
After feeling cold, he woke up and found that it was already broad daylight.
Seeing that the stool was almost burnt, he could only take another intact stool and put it on the fire.
After hearing the noise, a student woke up and saw him holding a bucket and preparing to go out, so he stopped him.
"Teacher Cui, are you going to shovel the snow?"
Cui Yuqing heard the voice and turned around, "Well! You guys can sleep a little longer."
"Okay, you must come back soon."
"Okay, you can sleep a little longer."
Cui Yuqing nodded and carried the bucket out the door.
Standing downstairs, watching the once bustling community turn into dead silence, a deep sense of powerlessness emerged deep in his heart.
At this moment, he wanted to hold his head and cry, but he was a man and a teacher, shouldering the responsibility of taking care of the students. He couldn't cry or be weak.
After taking a deep breath, he put the snow into the bucket and returned home with the bucket.
The students woke up one after another, and the first thing they wanted to do after seeing him come back was to eat.
He took out the remaining instant noodles from last night, looked at them and said, "These are the only food left in my house. If we want to survive, we must go out to find food."
"Starting from tomorrow, you will send four people to go out with me every day to look for food, and the rest will stay at home to look after the house."
"Many stores are now covered by heavy snow, and the places where we can find food are very limited, so we may have to search in shopping malls farther away. Only by uniting together can we survive."
"We will draw lots later to see who will go out with me tomorrow."
Cui Yuqing knew that the family conditions of these students were very favorable, and they usually had food to eat and clothes to wear, but the current environment no longer allowed them to live such a life.
They are no longer seven or eight-year-old children, and self-reliance is a life skill they need to learn now.
If he didn't teach them, he worried that they wouldn't be able to survive if he was gone.
He was seriously injured and had been holding on for the past two days. Although the medicine Muxuan gave him did help, but the weather was so cold and he was struggling so much every day, he didn't know how long he would have to live.
So before he dies, he must teach these children how to survive.
"Teacher, can't you go find it yourself? It's so cold outside, and we don't want to go out. Besides, we've had such a hard life before, and we really don't want to suffer anymore when we go out."
"Yes, teacher, you are an adult and our teacher, and you are so powerful. Go find it for us! We will take good care of the house."
"No, you have to go with me. If you can't be independent, what will you do when I'm not here in the future?"
"Not here? Teacher, where are you going? You don't want to leave us and run away, do you?"
Hearing Cui Yuqing's words, everyone became nervous.
The only person they can rely on now is Cui Yuqing. If he leaves, they will only die.
"I won't abandon you, but as you can see, my injury has not healed yet. In this bad situation, if I don't get treatment, I don't know how long I can last."
"During this period of time, I must teach you to survive independently. If I die one day, you will not wait to die."
"No, Teacher Cui, you will be fine."
"Teacher Cui, don't scare us. Aren't you in good health now? How could you die?"
"My injuries are internal injuries. Although there is nothing serious on the outside, the injuries on the inside are serious. I don't know how long I can live. In order for you to survive, I hope you can listen to me."
Cui Yuqing had said it for his own sake. If these children didn't listen, he would have no choice.
As a teacher, he believed that he had done his best, and whether they were willing to follow him or not was their own business.
"I've said what I need to say, and I won't blame you if you still don't want to come with me."
