After a long pause, he stammered again, "Teacher, where are you going? Are you at school today?"

Li Mu said, "Yes, I'm here! I don't go home either, I'm always at school. You can contact me if you need anything." Li Mu's small house was very close to the student dormitory.

"As for now? The school cafeteria is closed, I'll go to town to grab something."

Seeing the timid look in Weng Meixiang's eyes, Li Mu asked again, "Weng Meixiang, what are you having for dinner? Do you want to go with your teacher?"

Weng Meixiang hesitated for a moment, looking at the empty school with hardly anyone around, and felt a little scared.

"Okay... okay, thank you, Teacher Hou." A rare smile appeared on his face.

Li Mu walked over, closed the classroom window, and watched as Weng Meixiang followed him cautiously with her head down and back hunched over. He sighed softly.

For left-behind children in remote areas, especially for pretty girls like Weng Meixiang who are targeted by some wicked people, survival is really not easy.

Unable to fight back, and without parental support, they can only cautiously hide, risking putting themselves in danger.

Chapter 225 Yellow Hair

The two left the classroom, with Barbara Yung hunching over and following behind him.

As she approached the school gate, Weng Meixiang suddenly slowed her pace, cautiously looking around. Finding nothing amiss, she finally relaxed.

Li Mu turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Weng Meixiang hesitated, unsure of what to say.

Once outside the school, Weng Meixiang became even more sensitive, following closely behind Li Mu, her eyes constantly darting around like a frightened little rabbit.

In the setting sun, the two people's shadows were stretched very long.

After walking about a hundred meters, at the intersection at the end of the path ahead, a black sedan suddenly drove up and stopped there.

As the two of them approached, a young man with a cigarette dangling from his mouth and a full head of blond hair, looking roguish, opened the car door and got out.

His eyes lit up when he saw Weng Meixiang, and he raised his chin and waved, saying, "Weng Meixiang, come here."

Weng Meixiang was startled, her body trembled, and she quickly hid behind Li Mu.

Li Mu knew perfectly well that the person in front of him was Little Yellow Hair Yue Jun. He looked him up and down but didn't expose him immediately.

What are you doing stuck in traffic?

Huang Mao quickly composed himself and put on a smile: "You must be the teacher? I'm Weng Meixiang's cousin. We agreed to take her to the county town today. This child has been delayed for so long; she's really inconsiderate."

"I...I want to go to dinner with the teacher." Weng Meixiang's face turned a little pale with fright.

The blond-haired man's expression changed slightly, a flash of anger crossing his face. He quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "It's not good to trouble the teacher. Come on, let's go to the county town for some good food."

As he spoke, he reached out to grab Weng Meixiang. Weng Meixiang was so frightened that she clung tightly to Li Mu's clothes with both hands, as if she was afraid that if she let go, the teacher would abandon her.

Li Mu didn't disappoint her. He reached out and blocked the blond-haired man's hand, then asked with a smile, "You said you're Weng Meixiang's cousin?"

Huang Mao laughed and said, "That's right! Teacher, I'm her cousin. I'll take her to the county town for a stroll."

Li Mu turned to Weng Meixiang and asked, "Weng Meixiang, is he your cousin?"

Just as Weng Meixiang was about to speak, she looked up and saw Huang Mao Yue Jun staring at her with a cold smile in his eyes. Startled, she shrank back and hid behind Li Mu.

The blond-haired man laughed and said, "My cousin is a little shy. Let's go, don't waste the teacher's time." He then went to pull her away.

Li Mu blocked him again.

"She doesn't seem to acknowledge that you're her cousin!"

Huang Mao Yue Jun's face immediately turned cold.

"Damn it, I'll give you some face because you're a teacher, but don't meddle in other people's business."

Li Mu stared at him with a half-smile.

"So, you were lying all along. Not only are you not her cousin, but you also tried to abduct my student!"

"So what if it is? It's none of your business."

With a loud slap, a flash of anger crossed Li Mu's face. He stepped forward and slapped the blond-haired Yue Jun hard, knocking him to the ground.

"Do you think it's any of my business or not?"

Yue Jun, a notorious local thug, was no pushover and had plenty of fighting experience. The moment he was knocked down, he got up and charged at Li Mu.

This kind of street fighting experience might be okay against ordinary people, but it's utterly useless against Li Mu!

With a flying kick, the blond-haired man was sent flying more than two meters without any chance to resist. Without giving him a chance to catch his breath, Li Mu then stepped forward, grabbed his head of blond hair, and slapped him several more times.

Now the blond guy was completely obedient.

Li Mu took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped his hands.

"What do you want by intercepting my student here?"

Yue Jun's eyes flickered.

"It's nothing, just kidding!"

With a loud slap, Li Mu delivered another slap.

"Impersonating my cousin and intercepting my students to go to the county town, are you kidding me?"

A hint of anger flashed across Yue Jun's face, but he held back, knowing he was under someone else's roof.

"Teacher, I was just kidding. I used to be a student here too. Teacher Ma even taught me. You can ask her if you don't believe me."

"Slap!" Li Mu slapped him again.

"Many people from the village have studied here, but it's rare to see someone like you who comes back to cause trouble."

Yue Jun's anger deepened, but the difference in their martial prowess was too great, so he could only suppress it.

"Teacher, I was really just joking. I'll leave now, and there will definitely not be a next time."

Li Mu knew this guy was tight-lipped and didn't expect to get anything out of him, so as not to attract attention and affect the next operation.

I gave him a beating just to vent my anger.

If I hadn't stopped her, what kind of scene would Weng Meixiang have encountered if she had gone there? Her life would have been lost.

He only managed to get it after hitting him a few times. He knew there would be even bigger tricks waiting for him later, so he kicked the blond guy twice more.

"get out!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Jun didn't dare to delay any longer. He jumped into his car and sped away.

After the person left, Li Mu took out a tissue to wipe his hands, looked at Weng Meixiang who was standing there in a daze, and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go eat."

"Ah! Okay, Teacher Hou."

As she spoke, she skipped and hopped after him. This was the first time Li Mu had seen her laugh so happily, so easily, with such a clean and pure smile.

I felt my clothes being tugged, followed by a crisp sound.

"Thank you, Teacher Hou."

Li Mu smiled at her and patted her head.

"It's okay, it's nothing. If you have any problems in the future, just tell the teacher and the teacher will help you solve them."

"Mmm," Weng Meixiang nodded heavily, her eyes sparkling.

The school is not far from the town, just one long street lined with various shops and a good flow of people.

Li Mu randomly chose a small restaurant that looked relatively clean and went inside.

Looking at the menu on the wall, there weren't many options.

"Boss, two bowls of shredded pork noodles, one stir-fried egg with green peppers, and one stir-fried pork."

"Okay, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

The boss greeted us politely.

The two chose a table near the outside, and the noodles were quickly served.

Li Mu said, "Eat!"

Weng Meixiang obediently picked up her chopsticks.

After taking a few bites, the dishes were served, and Li Mu suddenly thought of something.

"Weng Meixiang, do you know where Ge Li lives?"

Weng Meixiang paused for a moment, then said, "I know, Teacher Hou."

Li Mu nodded: "Then let's eat quickly. Ge Li didn't come today. Her classmates said she's afraid to go out. Why is she afraid to come to school?"

"Come with me to her house in a little while to see what's going on. If there are any problems, the teacher can help solve them."

Weng Meixiang's eyes lit up, and she nodded emphatically, her eating speed noticeably increasing.

She hadn't finished her noodles when she saw Li Mu finish his and go to pay the bill. She jumped up, pulled out a pink wallet from her pocket, and rushed to pay.

Li Mu stopped him.

Weng Meixiang said sincerely, "Teacher Hou, thank you. I'd like to treat you to a meal, please let me do it."

Li Mu patted her head.
