Lift the manhole cover, climb out of the deep well, follow the path, and walk to the back mountain. Standing at the foot of the mountain, shrouded in the night, "Brother Ghost" looked up at the vague outline of the mountain beams, the road in front of him, the only road to the top of the mountain, was originally a step up, thick and wide mountain road, the steps were washed by the rain at some point, the collapse of the mountain wall, the landslide made the road rugged, thorny, from the wide steps to the steep path.

Lifting his feet and stepping up, the dew-soaked soil was muddy, and the soles of his feet had begun to slip before he could stand firmly, and the thorny bushes were piercing into his skin, and the pain was unbearable; the "ghost brother" stepped back and inadvertently touched the sickle in his waist, and he first scraped off the mud from the soles of his shoes with the sickle, and then he would swing the sickle from side to side to cut off and cut down the bushes on both sides.

"Brother Ghost" ruthlessly put the branches and leaves of the shrubs lying down, stepped into the mud, and fell into the mud, so that his feet could step on it steadily, although some of the small thorns on the branches would still pierce the skin, but it was not so unbearable. Sweating all the way, slashing all the way up, the ravine beside the road was full of falling stones, the steps were gone, all clay, piled up on the side of the road. The thorny bushes rose even more violently, the path was already overgrown, and the ones on the side of the road were already more than half a person high, surrounding the "ghost brother", and when he turned around and looked at the road again, the felled bushes seemed to be all stunned again.

"Brother Ghost" bent over, as if cutting wheat, waving a sickle in his right hand, and his sticky left hand, not only sweat but also blood, endured the pain, and carefully held on to the branches, one, two, three...... A small piece, a small piece of progress. He couldn't figure out his purpose anymore, at first he just watched everyone rush over the mountain in front of him, including Zhang Xuemei, Zheng Lijuan, Teacher Zhang, etc., and they all looked at him with a smile as they passed by him, and he smiled. Now the purpose is only to get out of this thorny path—and suddenly he realizes how they have passed, and whether these thorns, this path—are they going the wrong way?

Looking back, the road was right, but in front of the ravine, the mountain wall was left, and there was only this trail. Without thinking much more, he continued to swing his knife forward, and finally there were no thorns at the bend, only mud. He breathed a sigh of relief, and stabbed the sickle into the cliff next to him, climbing the handle of the sickle up the curve— The bright moonlight spread on the ground, but there were two roads in front of them, which could be seen by the moonlight, an old road, with white steps lying horizontally on the side of the ditch, although there were no thorns, but it was steeper and muddy, and it took two steps, as slippery as an ice rink, and another new road, judging by the small ditches on both sides, was enough for two people to walk side by side, but the ground was full of thorns, densely turned, and the thorns on the branches were shining with a cold light in the moonlight......

"Brother Ghost" stood at the fork in the road, following the direction of the road and the trail, and he realized that these were two parallel lines, and the intersection was not faintly visible until the mountain beam. was in a dilemma, the figures of Zhang Xuemei and Zheng Lijuan appeared on the mountain beam, waving at him and calling him-

Brother Ghost - Brother Ghost - Brother Ghost - "Brother Ghost" waved his hand happily at them, anxiously at a loss, he didn't know where to get his feet, there was a warmth on his shoulder, one hand gently patted him, and pushed him-

I tried my best to open my eyes, a bright, dazzling and dazzling, the disk-like moon turned into a square spot of light with a lattice, and the voice next to my ears sounded again: Brother Ghost - I'm up late - the alarm clock has stopped - is it out of power -

When I turned over, I saw Zheng Lijuan standing in front of her, looking at it with an alarm clock, and talking. "Brother Ghost" opened his eyes, sat up, looked around, suddenly understood, looked at Zheng Lijuan in confusion, and said: Auntie, what time is it?

Zheng Lijuan smiled and said: "It's about 9 o'clock—get up, it's time to eat!" "Brother Ghost" was surprised, "Ah-", took the alarm clock and looked at it, the second hand, minute hand, and hour hand were still stuck in the early morning. After getting dressed, I dived my face into the basin of cold water, and my mind cleared up a lot.

Repetition is the common hope of Zheng Lijuan, Yang Caixia, Teacher Zhang, and Liu Jianjian, and the way to fend for oneself is one's own idea.

Zheng Lijuan looked at the dripping water on her face, holding a towel and stunned "Ghost Brother", and said stupidly: Go eat first, what do you want, you can figure it out after eating away! "Ghost Brother" smiled embarrassedly, picked up the basin and splashed it towards the yard, pouring a crystal bright arc, shattering on the ground, turning into more crystal pearls.

Zheng Lijuan leaned on the door frame and watched the "ghost brother" return to the bedroom listlessly after eating, and watched him lie on the bed with his eyes rolling and blinking, staring at the roof, and then he sat on the chair in the hall, leaning on the back of the chair and napping.

Toot-toot-toot-

Zheng Lijuan stared and shouted: Brother Ghost - Phone - "Brother Ghost" got out of bed, walked to his parents' bedroom in the rush of the phone ringing, picked up the phone and asked weakly: Hey-Hello-

Brother Ghost, how are you thinking about it?

"Brother Ghost" was stunned for a moment and said, "Teacher Zhang, haven't thought about it yet?" Teacher Zhang sighed and said: Don't think about it, hurry back to school to repeat your studies, now is the era of relying on diplomas to make money, that graduation certificate is a stepping stone, only if you go in can you fend for yourself!

"Brother Ghost" said impatiently: "Got it, Mr. Zhang!" Mr. Zhang heard the disgust in his words, and said patiently: Have you ever thought about repeating your studies and choosing science, your science is not bad!

"Brother Ghost" paused for a moment and asked suspiciously: Is it okay - the second year of high school will be over, and it has been almost a year since the science subjects were put down! Teacher Zhang also hesitated and said: Yes, yes, yes, you can repeat science, you will be the same as the current fresh graduates, continue the liberal arts, of course, it will be much easier, you have to make sure to repeat, you can choose the liberal arts and sciences by yourself, you can even go to the science class for a while to try!

"Brother Ghost" was thoughtful, didn't speak for a long time, Teacher Zhang shouted: Brother Ghost, are you still there? "Brother Ghost" quickly replied: In-in-Teacher Zhang-Teacher Zhang smiled "hehehe", as if talking to the person next to him, and then said: Did you hear it, one level higher than you, what book was admitted to the field, after a year, I didn't feel what I wanted, and I came back to repeat it, and he finally targeted Beihang - Don't say it, in a word, since the goal is set, don't give up easily, just like your experience of working part-time this summer, as long as you persist in the end, you will succeed - think about it and come quickly, I will wait for you at school!

"Brother Ghost" put down the phone, turned around and saw Zheng Lijuan crawling on the door frame, staring at him, and couldn't help shouting "Ah-", and said a little angrily: Auntie, you can scare people to death! Zheng Lijuan smiled "hehehe", didn't say anything, and watched him go back to the bedroom, leaning on the back of the chair and napping.

After thinking about it, thinking about it, looking back and forth, thinking for most of the day made the "ghost brother" suddenly feel that his head was going to explode, abandon distracting thoughts, and leave only the essence, and that sentence came to mind - I think I am the green onion, a green onion that can be eaten raw, boiled, fried, and stir-fried, and the idea of not admitting defeat suddenly became huge in my heart.

When the sun was setting, "Brother Ghost" stared at Zheng Lijuan for a long time, and Zheng Lijuan felt furious, and thought that there was something wrong with her. He smiled and said, "Auntie, I'll go to the grave and come back to tell you my decision!"
