They rushed out of the house carrying three female teachers.
All the way downstairs, more and more people followed behind.
In the end, almost everyone in the Tulou followed them.
Until the exit.
The door of the earth building was tightly closed, and the key was only in the hands of the village chief. The men were still confused and were looking for the village chief.
"I'm here."
The village chief squeezed out from the crowd.
He frowned as he watched them carrying the woman away.
But soon, he smiled again, "Teachers, what are you in such a hurry for?"
"Save people."
A male teacher stood up and said urgently,
"Three teachers are sick here. We need to send them to the hospital. Village chief, please open the door quickly."
"I'm sick? What's wrong with you?"
The village chief looked at the woman they were holding with his small, cloudy eyes, revealing a shrewd and vicious look. "Send her to the third floor. We have a doctor who can help take a look."
"They must have eaten something wrong. Their stomachs are so swollen that they need to be checked and have their stomachs washed."
The teacher disagreed with the village chief's suggestion.
These tasks require professional equipment, how can the barefoot doctors in this village do it
"Is that so? Let me see."
Upon hearing this, the village chief walked up to them and lifted up their clothes without saying a word, revealing their bulging bellies.
Looking at the three people's bellies that looked like pregnant women, he smiled and said, "Given their current condition, they should be checked out by our doctor."
As he spoke, he casually called out the names of three people.
Three big men walked out from the crowd.
They each snatched away a female teacher and took them directly to the third floor.
"well?!"
The teacher who was about to send the person to the hospital widened his eyes.
The village chief calmly comforted them and signaled them to go back.
"I guess all the teachers haven't eaten yet. Do you want breakfast?"
Now there is still time to think about eating.
There were still two male teachers who were worried. "Let's split into two groups. One group will go with me to the city to get a doctor, and the other group will stay to take care of the four sick female teachers."
He offered his opinion.
"Okay." A teacher nodded in agreement.
After talking for so long, I didn’t expect that someone would still leave.
"Do we have to go?" The village chief looked at the two men who proposed this idea and asked.
"Don't mind, village chief. We just want to be on the safe side." The male teacher explained to him, "We will be back as soon as we can get a doctor."
Village Chief: "Only the two of you?"
Teacher: “Yes.”
Hearing this, the village chief nodded, took the key and opened the door. After saying a few words to the two teachers, they quickly walked back the way they came.
##
Under a few small trees in the yard, a few children who were not in class were playing on the ground. They were using knives to prick the outlines of the little people drawn on the mud.
The sharp knife cut deep marks on it one after another.
The outline of the little man drawn on the ground had already been completely changed beyond recognition.
A child dug a small stone out of the mud and threw it toward the door. He looked at the direction where the two men left and suddenly asked,
"Teacher Wu and Teacher Li left. When will they come back?"
"Maybe in the afternoon or evening." The other child replied without even looking up, "It depends on the speed of your dad and my dad."
A third soft, innocent voice sounded.
"Teacher Wu scolded me yesterday. From now on, he can no longer speak. I am so happy."
