"Ah...hello!"

"We are students from Mingyang Normal University. We originally came out to explore, but ended up being trapped here."

"Fortunately, the village chief allows us to live here, otherwise it would be too dangerous. I heard that there are tigers harming people near the village."

"Um... may I ask who you are..."

Facing such a person who walked out of school, no one knew how to answer for a moment.

Zhuang Jia was the first to react, carefully organizing her words and answering her question.

"Ah? Are you college students?"

After hearing the stories of several people, the woman's eyes seemed to light up, and the smile on her face became much brighter.

She looked at Zhang Tong and the others with some envy, and said, "My name is Bai Huiya, and I am a teacher in this school."

Speaking of her identity as a teacher, Bai Huiya seemed a little embarrassed: "Of course, there is no comparison between my teacher and the teacher you will be in the future."

"No, no, no, compared to you, Teacher Bai, we are really nothing."

Hearing what Bai Huiya said, Zhuang Jia couldn't help but waved his hands and looked at Bai Huiya with respect:

"Teacher Bai...you are not from the village, right?"

When Bai Huiya heard this, she smiled calmly and nodded:

"That's right, I'm not from the village."

"I came here just because I saw that there was a shortage of teachers in the village."

"As you can see, I am a disabled person, so I must cherish this opportunity."

"What's more, I really like getting along with these children, and I wish I could be with them all my life."

Bai Huiya spoke calmly, but these words made everyone, including Zhang Tong, stand in awe.

A disabled girl from the city gave up her life in the city and went to such desolate mountains to work as a village teacher. Such a thing was something that few people present could not do if they asked themselves.

The reason why they went to normal university is very simple. Their families hope that they can have a stable and decent job after graduation.

Under such circumstances, several college students looked at Bai Huiya with eyes full of respect.

Perhaps because it was rare to find people of the same age in the village, Bai Huiya soon became mingled with a few people and chatted lively with the court.

"My legs were born with bad health, and my hands were caused by a car accident two years ago."

"Well, the children in the village are also pitiful. Their parents are not around at all times, and their grandparents don't care. I, as a teacher, have to worry about them."

"You guys, please don't run around these days. You can hear the tiger's cry at night. It's scary."

"But don't worry, it won't dare to enter the village."

Although God was unfair to Bai Huiya, it didn't seem to make her despair of the world. At least in her chats with a few people, her kindness was revealed in every word and deed she said.

"The village chief's son was a good man, but he died in an accident. The village chief's hair turned white at that time."

"How many people disappeared before? There seemed to be seven people, right? I heard about it, but they have never been to the village."

"Oh, there are so many things happening in the village recently."

"The village chief's son has not been buried yet. There is a troublemaker in the mountains. I don't know when it will all be over."

During the chat, Bai Huiya revealed a lot of useful information, giving Feng Yu and others a general understanding of the village.

However, Feng Yu, who was almost deceived when faced with the supernatural phenomenon of tigers, was still frightened. When Bai Huiya mentioned tigers, he blurted out instinctively:

"Then why didn't you call the police?"

Bai Huiya smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Do you still have a signal on your mobile phone?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tong subconsciously took out his mobile phone, and as expected, there was no signal at all.

"What's going on?" Zhang Tong frowned and had a bad feeling in his heart.

"There was no signal a few days ago. Not only is the signal gone, but the power in the village is also cut off. If we want to contact the outside, we can only wait for the fog to clear and go to the city to call the police."

"I guess...it was the tiger who did it, right?"

Bai Huiya's delicate face was also filled with confusion and a trace of undisguised worry at this moment.

Surrounded by mountains and filled with heavy fog.

However, the signal and electricity were cut off. Such an environment gave Zhang Tong a bad feeling.

"By the way, if you have nothing to do, it's best not to trouble the village chief."

"The village chief's grandpa's son just passed away, and he has to keep busy keeping vigil for his son."

After chatting for more than an hour, when students returned to school one after another, Bai Huiya said goodbye to everyone with an apologetic look on her face, and took the children back to school to play.

Zhuang Jia looked at Bai Huiyan with admiration, surrounded by a group of children, who was like a child king, and Zhuang Jia was in awe:

"It's hard to imagine that if it were me, I definitely wouldn't want to come to a place like this."

"If you come here and don't leave, it means you will be trapped here for the rest of your life."

Sensing the emotion in Zhuang Jia's tone, Fan Long, who was developing rapidly with her, put his arm around her shoulders and said in a firm tone:

"Although we can't do this, we will definitely help many such children in the future!"

"I will definitely do it. This is my promise."

As if not wanting the atmosphere to be too solemn, Feng Yu suddenly spoke, breaking the atmosphere:

"Okay, okay, let's not disturb Teacher Bai here. You see, those children are a little scared of strangers."

"Let's go back to the house to clean up and see how we can stay at night."

Hearing this, Fan Long laughed: "Yes, let's see what we do in these two days first. The Internet and electricity are all gone. We are isolated from the world together with this village."

Zhang Tong smiled incredulously, glanced at Teacher Bai who always had a soft smile in the courtyard, turned around and walked towards the tile-roofed house with everyone.

Because it is summer, the house can be occupied by just cleaning it, so there is no need to trouble the village chief to prepare bedding or something.

As for the food issue, the village chief also came once and very enthusiastically invited several people to his home for dinner.

With that enthusiastic look, if Zhang Tong and others had not known in advance that the village chief had experienced the pain of losing his son, they would not have been able to tell that the old man still had such painful things hidden in his heart.

However, these people are not fools. Since the village chief didn't say anything, they naturally wouldn't ask any more questions.

Everything was arranged well, and several people took a nap in the afternoon, making up for the sleep they lacked due to fear last night.

When everyone woke up again, it was already dark.

The sky was still covered by dark clouds, and as the last ray of light dimmed, the entire mountain village was surrounded by endless darkness and mountains.
