Chapter 444 The Corpse in the Snow-Covered Valley

"What a madman!"

Feng Yuxiu shoved Chen Hui aside and ran out, leaving Chen Hui sitting on the ground, smirking incessantly.

A cold wind blew, and Feng Yuxiu felt a chill.

"If this world is fake, it's too real..."

Gazing at the bustling traffic and neon lights, Feng Yuxiu felt a sense of detachment from reality for the first time.

He no longer knows what is real and what is fake.

The problem should still lie in Wangdu Village, where his earliest memories are of the back mountain that Xiao Zhuang mentioned.

Feng Yuxiu went to the station overnight, bought a bus ticket to Jitai County, and left Changchun.

In just two days, he had already witnessed the style of Chen Yixin, the most educated school principal in the village.

Given how much Chen Yixin values ​​his reputation, he will definitely not be able to return to Wangdu Village in the future.

However, Feng Yuxiu is not the type to gossip.

At 7:30 a.m., the car finally stopped in Wangdu Town.

Stepping out of the station, the cold wind was still blowing, and there was still snow on both sides of the road, but it had stopped snowing. The early spring weather was chilly.

Feng Yuxiu shook himself off and plunged into a steamed bun shop for breakfast.

"Isn't this a tree? Didn't you say you went to Changchun to become a teacher? Why are you back?"

Gao Peng's mother was passing by on her way to the market early in the morning when she spotted Feng Yuxiu's back. She walked in excitedly and called out.

Feng Yuxiu stuffed a mouthful of steamed bun into his mouth. "You mean I've become a teacher?"

"Oh dear, that's what everyone's saying. They say you've become successful by following Chen Yixin, that you've been promoted to a teaching position by a benefactor. The whole village knows, even your mother came back. Your brother specially renovated your house, saying he wants you to stay in the new house next time you come back."

Feng Yuxiu paused for a moment, a strange emotion suddenly welling up inside him.

This is what is meant by "When you're poor, no one cares even in the bustling city; when you're rich, even close relatives come to visit you in the remote mountains."

He only went to the big city to work as a gatekeeper at a training center, not a school. But the villagers spread the rumor that he was a teacher in the big city.

Even the attitude of her family members has undergone a complete change.

Feng Yuxiu stood up and walked out.

Gao Peng's mother hesitated for a moment before following him out. "Hey, Teacher Shu, Zhang Xiaomei is still waiting for your reply."

Feng Yuxiu frowned.

"Oh, by the way, you're a teacher now, how about I find you a new one?"

"No need," Feng Yuxiu refused.

"Being a teacher is so different, huh? You definitely won't be interested in these rural women anymore. Okay, okay, then you can find a fair-skinned, young lady in the city. Teacher Shu has really made something of himself..."

As Gao Peng's mother walked away, she turned back and politely nodded to Feng Yuxiu before leaving.

Feng Yuxiu took a taxi and returned to Wangdu Village.

"The tree is back!"

The old women who were gossiping at the village entrance stood up and greeted him with delight.

Feng Yuxiu nodded and went inside.

"Shu, could you tutor my Xiaodan sometime?"

"The tree has become handsome."

Rumors led Feng Yuxiu from being a village keeper to becoming a teacher.

So the villagers simply didn't consider why this village guardian, who had lived there for forty years, deserved a diploma for education.

They just followed blindly, thinking that's how teachers are, that's how simple they are.

When she got home, the old lady saw Feng Yuxiu hurriedly get off the kang (a heated brick bed), her face beaming, "Shu is back!"

Feng Yuxiu nodded, and the dilapidated walls were also whitewashed.

The old stove was replaced with a new one.

"Your brother replaced all of this. He said your status is different now, and you can't live in such a dilapidated place anymore. It cost a lot of money," the old lady explained with a smile, her wrinkled face turning into a fawning expression.

Feng Yuxiu was still somewhat bewildered; he increasingly felt that this world was unreal. How could things have changed so much in just three days? Did these people lack thought and logic?

A middle-aged man who had lived for forty years without any education went out and was falsely accused of becoming a teacher.

Social status experienced an exponential surge.

Feng Yuxiu saw eggs, an old hen, bananas, and other things on the table.

"These are all thanks to the villagers who came to visit me," the old woman said proudly, puffing out her chest.

Feng Yuxiu frowned. "I'm not a teacher. Chen Yixin asked me to guard the gate of her school. I'm back."

The old lady's smile suddenly froze, followed by fear. She staggered to the door and closed it.

When he turned around, Feng Yuxiu saw a harsh face. "Aren't you a teacher? A gatekeeper? Why are you back? Did you get fired? You can't do anything right! I found you a job repairing cars and you can't even do it well. You... how can you... be so useless? I'm seventy years old, how many more years do I have left to live..."

The old lady cried very sadly and almost passed out.

Feng Yuxiu suddenly grinned, realizing that the old lady wasn't crying for him, but for herself.

Originally, Feng Yuxiu was rumored to have become a teacher, and the entire village became respectful towards him.

Even the most dilapidated house in the village has become a place where everyone wants to come and curry favor.

After all, in this era, being a teacher is a sacred profession.

But now, everything is ruined.

How respectful and obsequious those villagers were when they arrived.

They become incredibly harsh and cynical when they discover the truth.

The old woman could already imagine the whole village pointing at her back and mocking her.

Feng Yuxiu didn't care; he came here to find his lost memories.

As he walked out of the gate, the villagers greeted him politely along the way.

Even villagers who are usually indifferent to you will take the initiative to offer you cigarettes.

Once you become successful, everything you've accomplished in the first half of your life can vanish in an instant.

Your social status is revered again from the moment you reach a certain point.

Feng Yuxiu kept walking until he reached the hillside.

The sunflowers have almost completely covered the snow.

Feng Yuxiu suddenly looked at the hillside, and a wave of memories inexplicably flooded his mind.

He saw someone who looked a lot like himself fall down the hillside, his waist pierced by a broken tree root.

The man mumbled something and then walked step by step to the cliff.

Feng Yuxiu slowly turned around and walked step by step to the edge of the cliff.

The cliff is not high, only about ten meters high.

After looking around, Feng Yuxiu walked down the hillside on the left and climbed down by grabbing the protruding tree roots on both sides of the hillside.

When he landed, his feet sank into the snow.

Feng Yuxiu ignored the fact that his gaze was fixed on that direction as he walked step by step down the cliff.

After walking for five minutes, I squatted down and started digging snow with my bare hands.

People's dreams are very peculiar; his memories initially lingered here.

Xiao Zhuang also found himself unconscious on the cliff.

So what exactly is below the cliff in the picture...?

After digging for half an hour, Feng Yuxiu's hands had already turned purple from the cold.

Suddenly, my hands touched something hard.

Feng Yuxiu paused for a moment, then quickly dug through the snow.

When the object was completely unearthed, Feng Yuxiu suddenly froze.

He saw 'himself' die at his feet.
