80. Escape
"Little elephant, you wrote it?" Xiang Shuying looked back at a paragraph and asked Li Xiang, just read a little, and the level of writing was already extraordinary.
Li Xiang glanced at the Dou Dou child behind his aunt, who was rudely taken off the chair by his aunt, and was very dissatisfied with this, and was hiding behind his aunt with his teeth and claws making faces.
"That's right. ”
Xiang Shuying continued to look at the document on the notebook, "I'll take a look, it's very different." ”
Seeing that he was not discovered by his aunt, Dou Dou became even more arrogant, jumped up and grunted, just lips, but he didn't dare to really say it.
For the sake of his little sister's life, Li wanted to pull this troublemaker behind his back over, if he was discovered, he would definitely be beaten again.
Xiang Shuying quickly finished reading it and asked Li Xiang about the plot behind.
"I'm not done yet. ”
"After you finish writing, you must show me first, the writing is very good and has a level. ”
Xiang Shuying asked Li Xiang if he had any other works, except for this "The Old Man and the Sea".
She knew that Li Xiang's Chinese scores had always been very good, especially in composition, and she got a full score in the college entrance examination composition.
Lee thought about it, pulled up the file from the computer, and opened one of the documents called "Escape": "This is a short story I wrote. ”
This was written by Li Xiang on a sudden inspiration when he was in his third year of high school, just writing and playing, and never showed it to anyone, Xiang Shuying was the first.
The novel begins: "My cousin-in-law is a magician. When I was a child, he grabbed a handful of my crotch empty-handed, blew on the 'fairy qi', and slowly opened it to hold a fruit candy in his palm. He said it was by pulling out my balls. I felt like my crotch was empty, and then he gave me candy to eat, and the lost balls came back to me. This kind of trick cousin-in-law has to change every time he comes. My balls went in and out, and they switched back and forth with fruit candy several times, until I finally realized that he had gone to the grocery store to buy candy before he came into my house......"
This is a fictional short story by Li Xiang before, about the sad life of my cousin-in-law during the social upheaval in the late 80s and early 90s of the last century, and there are only four main characters, my cousin-in-law, my cousin, their son and my cousin-in-law's mother, counting the "I" of the bystanders, that is five.
My cousin-in-law is an acrobat who taught himself a little magic, turned into candy and tricked me into letting him out, and had a private meeting with my beautiful cousin. Later, he got his wish and married his cousin, originally thinking that this would be a happy family, but the beautiful cousin was lazy to eat, 365 days a year, sitting at home every day without working, neither looking for a job nor doing housework, and it didn't take long for her to become an aircraft carrier. My cousin-in-law's mother had mild schizophrenia and sat on the balcony in a daze all day. Later, my cousin-in-law had a son, who was my nephew, who was naughty and troublemaker, and was jealous and cut people with others, and asked for a large sum of money to ransom people.
My cousin-in-law has to work hard to make ends meet and take care of this large family, and although he has a lively and optimistic personality, he is already full of gray hair at the age of 40, and the burden of life weighs him down. At the funeral of the mother of a local celebrity, he, a second-rate magician, said that he was going to perform a large-scale escape trick, tying himself up with chains, stuffing him into a coffin, and a roller running over him, and he wanted to escape in this short time.
Although my cousin-in-law has made candy for me since I was a child, I know that he is actually limited in level, so I bluff children. Persuading him, he said that he had a spell of escape, so that the heart was free from obstacles, and there was no obstacle to the cause. I was skeptical and frightened, and sure enough, the performance failed, and he failed to escape, he was crushed into a thin piece, and died miserably.
As soon as my cousin-in-law died, my cousin seemed to wake up overnight and began to become more diligent. My cousin-in-law's mother is no longer melancholy like a poet. As for my nephew, after redeeming his home with compensation, he also changed his ways.
As I watched all this, it occurred to me that the escape spell that my cousin-in-law had said before he turned on the magic spell might really be a spell full of magic without any obstacles. But it's not a life curse, it's a death curse. Its real purpose is to allow my cousin-in-law to escape this stressful world without any worries.
The whole novel is 12,300 words, with humorous strokes, but it tells a sad story and tragic characters.
Xiang Shuying couldn't put it down after reading it, and suddenly asked, "Your cousin is Meihui, right?"
Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, "Don't sit in the right seat, this is fiction, fiction." ”
Xiang Shuying smiled and said, "Fortunately, what you wrote is not your aunt and me, otherwise I will beat you flat!"
Li Xiang:('・ω・ ́)
Xiang Shuying asked Li Xiang to hand over this novel to her to deal with. Li Xiang didn't know what to do with her, but she had some ways to do it.
The teacher didn't know when he came, and the little guy was wearing pajamas, and he refused to sleep when he couldn't see his sister and brother.
These two little ones stood on the side of the chair and listened to the whole process, as if they understood it. The aunt told them that the composition written by the elephant was super powerful, and she praised Li Xiang without hesitation in front of the two little sisters.
The master immediately looked at Li Xiang with big eyes, and Dou Dou also looked over. The difference is that the teacher is pure worship, while Dou Dou is envious and dissatisfied, she shouted: "Dou Dou is also very powerful, Dou Dou is super powerful." ”
She threatened to score 100 points in the essay test when she grew up, and then 100 points in arithmetic, and go to the university to have fun.
Although she didn't know what composition and arithmetic were at all.
"Auntie, Dou Dou scored 200 points as the director. ”
This kid swears, is categorical, and looks very confident.
5-3=6, this kind of arithmetic level also wants to score 100 points, it can only be said that confidence is really important, Li Xiang did not discourage the enthusiasm of the children, and helped her speak: "After becoming the director, I entered the State Council." ”
"Yes~ What's wrong, what the elephant said is right!" Dou Dou nodded immediately, that's right, what my brother said was right, my brother said what was in her heart and talked about her caution.
Xiang Shuying smiled: "Your dream as a child is still to be a civil servant? Why has it not changed since childhood, but you want to be a civil servant with 200 points? ”
Dou Dou didn't know what "being an ape" meant, she was confused, and asked her aunt what it meant, she seemed to feel something in the dark, it seemed that her aunt was saying bad things, not good things, but no matter how her little head thought about it, she couldn't figure it out, "being an ape"?
Xiang Shuying wanted to say more, Li Xiang hurriedly interrupted, please don't talk about the beautiful and ungenerous aunt! If you talk about it again, the children will jump up and fight with the adults again! Even if they are beaten again, they will not hesitate! The important thing is to show their attitude.
