The date was June 26, 1994.

Don't: Nothing is appropriate.

Appropriate: bathing, plugging acupoints, praying for blessings.

There was a woman's cry in the living room, the policeman's emotionless interrogation, Lin Zihao sat in the bedroom, staring at the calendar on the desk in a daze, he suddenly had a question, he couldn't figure it out, didn't it say that everything was inappropriate? Why is it written in the column of "Yi" that bathes, plugs acupoints, and prays?

Perhaps, this is the same as this world, it looks like this, but it is actually like that. Like the arachnid horned viper in the Varzane desert. Its existence is deception and lies.

There are osmanthus flowers outside the window.

The osmanthus in the window is fragrant, refreshing.

In the bookcase in front of him, Sega Saturn, Super Nintendo and PS1 game consoles and various game CDs occupy an entire floor, more boxed CDs and genuine tapes, on the desk, there are computer consoles and computer monitors with old-fashioned CRT picture tubes, under the stationery box is a thick stack of high school exam papers, and the Sony MD player in the corner of the table is the dream of his peers, and it is also Lin Zihao's favorite.

On the bedside wall, there is a poster of Michael Jackson dancing at the 1988 Grammy Awards. In· The· Mirror, called "Man in the Mirror" in Chinese, Lin Zihao still remembers the first time he listened to this song, Gao Ming gave him a small plate, the person on the box had a weird nose, curly hair and an overly pale face, he put on earbuds, pressed the MD player PLAY button, and then entered the world of this mirror man.

In the days that followed, Lin Zihao always thought, what kind of heart is born from the heart, what kind of heart is under the face of the person in the mirror?

Lin Zihao looked at the mirror in front of the window.

At this time, the whistle of the siren sounded downstairs, taking away the policemen dressed in the system, the neighborhood gathered to watch the lively neighbors, there were two people who were eating melon seeds laughing wildly, the old chess players in the pavilion next door were scolding each other, and the mother in the living room was crying her husband who was in prison.

Lin Zihao knows that whether it is life or study, the bright colors that should have been, from this moment on, all will fade, and what remains is darkness, confusion, and despair.

In fact, this moment is not too early, on the afternoon of the day he met Zhang Yunqi in the No. 1 Middle School, when his father Lin Yongqiang told him everything, the world had already collapsed.

There are people who do the business of killing heads, and no one does the business that loses money. Because the cost was too great, Dad didn't want to lose money in front of him, so he came up with the idea of a prize that accounted for 50% of the amount. Although the winning envelope is sealed under the supervision of the notary office, it is kept by Xiao Lijun, the director of the Sports Lottery Center, who uses a 100-watt light bulb to shine the envelope when he keeps it, and can easily find a note that says "Santana", and then, Dad will take the "grass flower K" that other winners have cashed in the previous period, and hand it over to the pre-found trust, so that the trust can directly enter the second round of the lottery.

In the second round of the lottery, he took out a few more envelopes, one of which contained a "Santana note", he would hint that he would draw this envelope, so as to defraud the jackpot, and when the winner of the real lottery "Grass Flower K" took out the envelope without the prize, then he couldn't draw Santana.

This scam looks seamless, and it stands to reason that there will be no mistakes, until the day when the first father Chu Dapeng came to the stage for the second round of the lottery came out of the basket, Xiao Lijun misremembered the envelope number, and the staff took out the envelope containing Santana and was drawn by Chu Dapeng. But the grass flower K that day was collected,After verification, it was found that one was fake,Xiao Lijun was sure that Chu Dapeng forged the lottery ticket,So it caused a series of accidents。

For Lin Zihao, Lin Yongqiang's story destroyed all his faith, he never thought that his father, who was omnipotent and full of wisdom in his life and had always taught him to be positive, was such a cold-blooded and greedy person, he never thought that his super Nintendo game consoles, computers, Sony MD players and affluent life were all built on the hard-earned money of countless lottery players.

He just felt scared, the helplessness and panic of fate came to his heart, and he realized that he was about to lose all this in front of him, almost instinctively, and he asked his father in a crying voice: "The police, the police have found ......"

Dad said, "No." ”

He immediately pleaded as if grasping at a life-saving straw: "Dad, then we will obey the law in the future, wouldn't it be good if we didn't do this? Why do you still turn yourself in?"

"Because of Zhang Yunqi. His father hammered him the heart with an awl: "I know you hate Zhang Yunqi, you have a strong personality and are very arrogant, you don't take him seriously, you think he is just an ordinary student." However, sometimes the world is not what you see it to be. Zihao, do you know? There is a unique poisonous snake in the Varzane Desert in Iran, called the spider-tailed horned viper, its skin can be camouflaged as a rock, and the movable scales on the tail have undergone mimicry evolution, which can be disguised as a spider at the bottom of the food chain, exactly like the real one, but once the migratory bird flies over to pounce, it will reveal its brutal and ferocious side in a few seconds, and directly eat the migratory bird alive. Zhang Yunqi is such a spider-tailed horned viper. He seems to be an ordinary student, in fact, it is not simple, and the energy is amazing, he wants to stand up for Chu Jian and seek justice for Chu Dapeng. As for whether the lottery ticket of Chu Dapeng is forged, even I don't know now, but the identity information of those who won the lottery in the past is all fake, and the police will reveal the ...... as long as they adjust the information."

"Zihao, what are you doing with your head hooked? Don't cry, this won't solve the problem, do you know why I'm telling you this? Because it doesn't matter if it's a few days earlier or a few days later, you have to face this result. I don't want you to watch me go to jail for no apparent reason and become a man full of anger. I am the one who caused this, and you don't want you to hate anyone but me. Because it's only going to hurt you. When you grow up, you should look at the problem like a man, after I go in, life at home may be very hard, you have to take care of your mother, study hard, don't be like me, you have to be a productive person. ”

The rain outside the window was pouring down.

The sky was full of black clouds, surging northward like a tide.

It is exactly the same as the day Lin Yongqiang surrendered.

Lin Zihao, who was standing in front of the window, felt suffocated in his heart. In the mirror, his eyes were scarlet and full of hatred, but he had not forgotten what his father had said.

Since then, he began to learn to do laundry, cook, save money, no longer spend money with extravagance, no longer go to the restaurant outside to eat fried and buy drinks that are always only half drunk, and after class, he will discuss which girl is good-looking in the corridor and say goodbye to his life completely, those who should not think or hate, erase from memory, always go home as soon as school is over, study harder than before, often stay up until two or three o'clock in the morning...... He silently tries to move his gloomy life into a new track, but life is still full of cold flavors.

One day, more than a dozen lottery players rushed into his house and smashed it from beginning to end, and all the valuable things were moved away, including his beloved Sony MD player.

Mom just wiped his tears, he silently cleaned up the pots and pans, boiled a pot of white rice porridge for dinner, the bowls were broken, he took the iron spoon and ate directly in the iron pot, his mother looked at him blankly, her eyes were full of sourness, and later, she ate with him.

After eating, the night outside the window was clear, there were stars, he sat in the living room full of messes all night, and those people who shouldn't think or hate all came back, thinking of his father, the first meeting, and Zhang Yunqi who ruined everything.

In the summer, the refrigerator was moved, and the white rice porridge in the pot was steaming, and he took the iron spoon until his stomach was holding it, and then he threw out the rest, boiled a small pot of white rice porridge and put it on the table, and then went downstairs to school with his schoolbag.

Early in the morning, there were already people on the road in the community, and the two little boys pointed at him in surprise. He thought they were looking for him.

"His dad is a fraudster!" they laughed.

The light blue dawn, the wind blew the sky clean.

A few small silver stars, a scimitar-like moon, nailed diagonally to the sky.

Lin Zihao turned around and went home and got a fruit knife!

When he came to school, he went directly to the 156 class of the first year of high school.

Zhang Yunqi was eating Qifengdu fish meal in front of his desk, his head was full of sweat, and his mouth was full of oil.

"Looking for me, right?" Zhang Yunqi saw him, wiped the red oil on his mouth with a paper, walked out of the classroom and came to him: "Something?"

"Do you know why my dad turned himself in?" Lin Zihao's voice was a little hoarse.

"I don't know. Zhang Yunqi said.

"You forced it. ”

"Then who forced Chu Dapeng's death?"

"His ticket was a forgery. ”

"Whether it's a forgery or not, the police say it. Zhang Yunqi obviously felt that Lin Zihao had a strong aura of revenge, this guy had already counted his Lao Tzu in prison on his head, this kind of young man with strong blood is unreasonable to be reckless, if it is placed on the table, it is nothing, but the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent.

Zhang Yunqi said patiently: "They are all adults, so we should be as rational as possible to look at the problem." In the end, who is right and who is wrong in this matter, the police will give an explanation. In short, everyone has to bear the consequences of their actions. Your dad has turned himself in now, as long as he confesses, explains the problem clearly, and actively cooperates, he will be able to come out in a few years. Of course, if you think that this matter is my responsibility, then I can give you a suggestion, get a good score in the college entrance examination this time, go to a good university, show yourself up, and then come to me for trouble. ”

"Do you have to educate me so highly?"

"Why don't you come to educate me?" Zhang Yunqi knew that his scheming words were in vain, Lin Zihao couldn't even hide his emotions, after school at noon, he had to ask Ma Shi to find someone to target this dangerous element, he waved his hand, turned around and went back to the classroom: "Come talk to me again when you have a clear mind, you can come to me if you have any questions." ”

Regardless of whether Zhang Yunqi's words were sincere or false, when they fell into Lin Zihao's ears, only humiliation remained, the kind of humiliation that did not take him in his eyes and gave kindness!

His eyes were fixed on Zhang Yunqi's back, his hand holding the fruit knife in his pocket, and he felt that the blood was boiling! However, he didn't know if it was the residual reason or the cowardice of his character, and he couldn't pull out his trembling hand. The opportunity was fleeting. Zhang Yunqi had already sat back in his position, he had lost a good chance to make a move, so he pulled his legs and ran downstairs.

At that moment, he felt that he was a coward who had lost even the last bit of dignity, and he felt that he was superfluous in this world! Cheap as air, anyone could trample on it! But what made him even more desperate was that at the corner of the boulevard, he met a girl who he least wanted to meet at this moment.

The girl wore a white cotton skirt, a ponytail, a pair of sneakers under her feet, white socks, and a copy of "Walden" on her chest.
