Chapter Twenty-Three: Meeting in the World
Tang Jinglian was still concerned about Tan Lei's injury, and after cheering for a while, she hurriedly took Xiao Tan Lei and ran to the infirmary to deal with it.
"How is it, does it hurt?" Tang Jinglian asked as she walked with him in her arms, wiping Tan Lei's black and mushy little face with some distress, the blood and dust were together, which looked extremely miserable, but her eyes were bright.
"I don't hurt, teacher. Xiao Tan Lei reached out and wiped his face indifferently, and his little hands became black and mushy, "Teacher, do you know, when I was fighting with those two guys, I was scared at first, I didn't dare to stretch out my fist, and I didn't dare to look at them." Tan Lei gestured in Tang Jinglian's arms and said, "However, I saw Teacher Yuan, just standing in front of the fierce male teacher, motionless, I knew that he was helping me block that teacher." I also know what I fought today for, and I know that whether it's because of Teacher Yuan or Xin Qian, I can't be so weak. ”
Tang Jinglian was a little surprised, don't look at Tan Lei's young age, but he can really think about many things very clearly. "Then, aren't you afraid? Those two children should be a lot stronger than you, right?" Tang Jinglian smiled a little and scratched Tan Lei's little nose.
"How can you not be afraid, it really hurts when you are beaten. But I don't want to give up. I thought, even if I am beaten to death by them, even if I am so scared that I pee my pants, I will beat them until they cry, and they will no longer dare to bully Xinxi. Tan Lei's miserable little face showed a righteous and awe-inspiring smile.
"Yes, the teacher knows that you are the bravest. But in the future, if you can solve it in a peaceful way, don't use your fists. After all, Tang Jinglian still didn't want such a young child to grow up in the direction of "solving everything by force".
Tan Lei nodded and said, "Teacher, I can actually feel that the original teacher took me to fight just to tell me that if I can not fight, I won't fight." ”
Tang Jinglian smiled and touched the little guy's head and asked why he said that.
"Teacher Hara asked me those three questions, then called me a coward, and then took me to fight. In fact, I just want to tell me that there are many things that are more serious than dying, than going to another world, such as my favorite Xinqian was bullied, for such a thing, fights can be fought, people can die, that is, you can't let yourself regret it. The fight is just a salvage measure, and it doesn't allow me to go back to where I started and protect Xinxi. Tan Lei looked at his clenched little fist and slowly let go, "Courage is the root cause that can solve all problems." ”
Tang Jinglian touched Tan Lei's little head and said that it was awesome, and then remembered the girl she talked about with Yuan Xiao today.
"She died, died in my arms. ”
Tang Jinglian seemed to suddenly understand something, but she couldn't really think about it. When I arrived at the infirmary, I quickly found the school doctor to give Tan Lei urgent treatment, but found that except for some abrasions and minor injuries to soft tissues, the bones were fine, and the wounds were relatively small. The school doctor cleaned Tan Lei's wounds, disinfected them, and put a few band-aids on them, saying that it was okay.
When Tang Jinglian returned to the classroom with Tan Lei in her arms, class was already over. Tang Jinglian was just about to go over and ask what Yuan Xiao had said, when she saw all the parents and children rushing up and surrounding Yuan Xiao.
"Teacher Yuan, can you give me a contact information, my child would like to ask you to talk to him more. "Yes, Mr. Yuan, my child has been depressed for a few months, and he just came to tell me that his mother knew what I had to do, and then hugged me... Teacher..."The parent was obviously a little excited, tears almost fell, and he grabbed Yuan Xiao's arm and shook it vigorously. There were also many children who came with paper and pens to sign autographs... I said I wanted to be an idol...
Tang Jinglian took Xiao Tan Lei and watched this scene with interest, especially the protagonist of the chaos - Comrade Yuan Xiao. Tang Jinglian originally wanted to watch the excitement for a while, but seeing that Yuan Xiao's handsome face was black and smoking, she couldn't say a word, so she hurried over to relieve him.
"Okay, parents, Mr. Yuan will often come to our class in the future, and he is usually busy with his work, I hope you can understand. ”
After entangling for a while, the entire classroom was finally empty, leaving only Xiao Tan Lei, Yuan Xiao, and Tang Jinglian. Tan Lei stood beside Yuan Xiao in a daze, staring at Yuan Xiao with blazing eyes. Yuan Xiao finally eased up, reached out and touched Tan Lei's head.
Yuan Xiao squatted down and asked Tan Lei: "After school, won't your parents come to pick you up?" Tan Lei shook his head and said: "I have never seen my mother, my father doesn't like me, and he has been staying in the unit, only one nanny takes care of me at home to eat, and I usually go home by myself." Yuan Xiao nodded, sure enough, since he was a child, he lacked maternal love and fatherly love, either tyrannical or cowardly, and always went to extremes.
Yuan Xiao looked back at Tang Jinglian and said, "I have worked hard for this kid today, I have to compensate him." Tang Jinglian was also Bingxue smart, and said with a smile: "Okay, take your vacation, and I'll call my dad to pick me up in a while." However, Comrade Yuan Xiao, you must be worthy of the organization's trust in you and send Commissioner Tan Xiao back to the base area safely. Tang Jinglian looks like an underground party leader.
"Guaranteed to get the job done. Yuan Xiao responded weakly, and after receiving Tang Jinglian's expected eyes, he led Tan Lei out of the door.
"Why doesn't he like you?" Yuan Xiao walked beside Tan Lei, and asked coldly from a position.
"Ah," Tan Lei was in a daze, startled by Yuan Xiao's sudden question, "Maybe it's because I'm too different from him." Tan Lei's thinking is different from his personality, it can be said that he is quite mature, far surpassing his peers, and he can always get straight to the point when analyzing problems.
"What kind of person is he?" After crossing the zebra crossing, Yuan Xiao directly gathered Tan Lei above his head and put it on his neck. Tan Lei likes this position very much, and his small chin is propped up on the top of the original owl's head, which is very comfortable.
"He's a soldier, he has a lot of strength and a big temper, and he often scolds me for being a coward or something, but I know that Dad loves me......" The voice slowly sank, and in the end it was inaudible.
Stretched out his hand and patted Tan Lei's small thin leg on his shoulder, but Yuan Xiao didn't speak again. Then there was silence, neither the older nor the younger spoke.
Tan Lei enjoyed the time with Yuan Xiao, although Yuan Xiao was just an ordinary teacher he had just met, but he understood himself and supported himself, this feeling of trust made Tan Lei very happy, compared to his father who beat and scolded at every turn, Tan Lei suddenly felt how good it should be that Yuan Xiao was his father.
And the original owl remembered a lot of the past. Sometimes he feels that he may really be old, and only old people are willing to recall the past so often, because there is no future.
"Is this it?" walked for about twenty minutes, and then came to the entrance of a very imposing community.
"Garrison area. Yuan Xiao was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was no wonder that it was such a stinky fart. The guard at the gate stopped him and asked him what was the matter. Yuan Xiao looked at the familiar and unfamiliar military uniform, and suddenly felt a little excited, how could it be related to the soldier. I have lived for so many years, and I have never stopped being unlucky with the criminals who were soldiers.
Yuan Xiao didn't speak, reached out and patted Tan Lei, who was already asleep. Tan Lei woke up from his sleep, wiped his saliva, and then looked at the guards in front of him. "Uncle Ding, it's me, I'm Tan Lei. At first, the guards were looking out for the man who couldn't be ignored, not noticing that he had a child on top of his head.
"It's Tan boy, it's time for school," the guard smiled slightly, although chatting is not allowed during duty, but this kid is really familiar with himself, and he will commit discipline once. "Eun, this is the former teacher of our school, who sent me back!"
The guards carefully observed the handsome and excessively handsome Yuan Xiao again, and felt a little awkward in his heart, he looked so handsome, he must be a little white face with no kind eyes!" "Okay, let's send it here, Tan Lei will go home by himself." ”
Tan Lei just insisted on letting Yuan Xiao go in to play, when a strong hand reached over and lifted himself down. "Alright, you can come in here, there will be no problem, I'll go. "The original owl turned his head and was about to leave. Tan Lei was just about to wave goodbye when he saw a familiar figure in front of him.
Yuan Xiao also saw this person, because he, like Yuan Xiao, is a man who cannot be ignored. If Dante is to say, it always feels like a deep pool, gentle and calm, but bottomless. The man in front of him was like a spewing of lava, hot, blazing, and burning. The man is about forty years old, his face cannot be said to be handsome, but he has a burst of heroism, two sword eyebrows seem to cut through the sky, facial features are sharpened and axed, revealing perseverance and loyalty, a military uniform is tightly propped up, and the body is so strong that people are afraid.
"You're back...... Dad ......" Tan Lei's face was a little pale, and his voice was a little trembling. However, the lava-like man in front of him didn't speak, but just looked directly at Yuan Xiao.
"Are you his teacher?" the man spoke, his voice like the sound of an axe.
"No, it's a substitute idler. "The original owl still has a paralyzed face to deal with thousands of troops.
"His wounds are related to you. The man directly used a firm tone, not giving Yuan Xiao room to explain at all.
Yuan Xiao's beautiful and somewhat delicate eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a step forward, almost facing the man. The guards in the back were a little nervous for a while, and hurriedly ran to the duty booth to make a call.
"It's about me. What are you going to do?" the original owl tilted his head.
"No, Dad, the former teacher ......"
"Shut up!" The man snapped, interrupting Tan Lei's defense of Yuan Xiao, and a wave of anger appeared on his face.
"Nope. ”
Suddenly, Tan Lei, who the man thought would lower his head and walk away, did not back down because of the man's scolding, but walked in front of the original owl with trembling but firmness, separated between the man and the original owl, and stretched out his small hands.
"Teacher Yuan is the best person I have ever met, and he is also the most powerful person. Dad, don't embarrass him. Tan Lei raised his head and looked directly at the man with burning eyes in front of him, obviously he should be the closest father and son, but there was an inexplicable strangeness and hostility between the two.
The man was stunned for a long time, and suddenly the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, very briefly, Tan Lei simply noticed that Yuan Xiao had captured this change.
"Interesting, kind of interesting. The man suddenly stretched out his hand, and the hostility that had just burned his eyes disappeared in an instant.
"Tan Zhi Leopard. The man stretched out his hand, and did not move, like a mountain.
Yuan Xiao looked at Tan Lei, who was taking care of him, sighed, stretched out his hand, and held it tightly. "The original owl. ”
When Tan Lei has become a major general, he will still recall the scene of his father, known as "Tan Jialie Leopard" by others, and the man who changed the world on that bright afternoon.
