Chapter 004: Miracles
"Mrs. Norton......" The person who delivered the original owner's book finally came, Zhang Heng sighed secretly, and finally escaped from her full chest, combed her messed hair, a warmth rippled all over her body, and looked at her quietly, "It's good to see you!"
This was his teacher back then, and the principal of this elementary school, and she had always been very good to him in the past, and after his accident, she would come to visit him almost every week, and when he happened to be sober, she would read books to him, teach him words and pronunciation.
"My child, no, he's already a handsome guy, it's good to see you!" Mrs. Norton opened her arms again, Zhang Heng subconsciously twisted her body, she pursed her lips and smiled slyly, her eyes brightened.
"It must be a miracle that you finally wake up and can come down and walk, thanks to the merciful Lord. ”
Considering that she is a devout Catholic, it is natural to say such things.
"Miracles...... Zhang Heng instantly turned countless thoughts in his heart, and nodded solemnly without hesitation, "Maybe that's the case, in the long sleep of the previous ten days, I seem to have gone to a different world and experienced a lot of wonderful journeys......
"I can't remember most of the time when I woke up, but I think it's a miracle that I'm lucky to wake up and stand here. Finally, he nodded vigorously, his face radiating with a divine light.
The whole classroom was as quiet as a cicada.
Before leaving the classroom, Zhang Heng apologized to the young male teacher first, after all, it was indeed he who disturbed their lecture first.
"Mr. Lu is actually quite a good person, with a wide range of knowledge, and a love of teaching and students," Mrs. Norton explained to the teacher as she walked, "but he has just come from the north, and it has not been very smooth over there for a few years, so he doesn't know much about the local customs, and there are some differences in English between the two places, so you have to understand that." ”
"Well, I understand, I made the mistake first. Zhang Heng nodded, trying to free his body from her soft body.
However, he was weak enough, and Mrs. Norton pulled him tighter by her arm, and his back pressed against a plump hill somewhere, and with a gentle pace, it became stiff in an instant.
Mrs. Norton did not seem to care about this, and almost half-pushed and half-hugged him into her office, and pressed him down on the soft sofa.
She poured a cup of hot coffee, her long, slightly narrowed eyes narrowed, and she looked at him like a she-fox: "It seems that you haven't missed reading and studying in bed, which is very gratifying to me, but how can your accent suddenly become the same as those exiles?"
As she said the last sentence, her brow furrowed and her voice grew louder, clearly concerned.
It is no wonder that, with pure English ancestry, she sees Americans as little more than the descendants of gangsters, thieves and fugitives.
"Didn't I say it, this is a miracle!" Zhang Heng swallowed his coffee and looked at her sincerely, "You also agreed, didn't you?"
"Cunning little devil!" Mrs. Norton gave him a blank look, "Tell me honestly, who else has sent you books besides me?"
"I'll flip through the prince series you sent, and then ...... Occasionally, I would read the newspaper, the one on the wall, and someone else would make the packaging, by the way, sometimes Sister He next door would bring the radio to me. ”
Zhang Heng racked his brains and explained half-truths, his eyes wandered, and he was suddenly stunned.
"Tell you the truth, radio, why didn't I think of that? It seems that your awakening is most likely related to external sound stimuli. ”
Mrs. Norton reproached herself in chagrin, when she suddenly realized that his eyes were wrong, looked back at the calendar on the wall, and asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?"
"What time is it today?" asked Zhang Heng.
"You see, September 5th. ”
"September 5th, 1972!" Zhang Heng was speechless, his face turned pale.
"What's wrong with you?" said Mrs. Norton hurried over, holding his head to her chest with one hand and gently rubbing the back of his head with the other.
Uh, it's so comfortable!
Zhang Heng squinted, enjoying the feeling that he had never experienced in his previous life, it seemed that when he was in school before, the original owner often enjoyed this service, he suddenly felt a little jealous, and he felt funny.
After a long time, the bell rang outside.
Zhang Heng broke free of his embrace, looked up at her with a sad look, and said in a low voice:
"Madam, believe it or not, I'm not very sure, but I seem to have received some mysterious hint when I fell asleep this time, as if in the far west, in the land of monks, an unbearable evil was about to take place. ”
"Far West, the land of the monks?" said Mrs. Norton, looking at him suspiciously, "that's Munich......! Impossible, right?"
She reached out and touched his forehead, "I don't have a fever, why do you talk nonsense?"
Zhang Heng was silent, he still wondered why he would travel to this era so coincidentally.
And today's Munich tragedy, because of the brutal revenge of the Jews in the future, will remain memorable in the 21st century.
"Oh, it's half past eleven, and I'll treat you to lunch!" Mrs. Norton stopped thinking.
"The time difference between Munich and Xiangjiang is 6 hours, and the evil I see occurs at the darkest moment before the first rays of the sun reach the earth,"
Zhang Heng didn't get up, but looked directly at her, "Perhaps, you can turn on the radio, I also want to confirm the truth......"
Mrs. Norton hesitated, but turned on the BUSH brand tube radio she had brought from England on her desk, and kept turning the dial knob, and soon her hand stopped.
"The latest news from Munich, Germany, that the hostage-taking incident remains unresolved, and the police are confronting the criminals who call themselves Black September, and according to authoritative sources, two athletes have been killed," said IOC President Kilanen......"
"Lord!" Mrs. Norton sighed and sat down in her chair, looking at Zhang Heng with extremely gray eyes and strong shock, "How can this be?"
Zhang Heng was also "shocked", stayed for a while before slowly walking over, gently put her head on his chest, and comforted softly: "It has happened, in our Chinese words, this is the destiny of fate, please don't be too sad." ”
Half an hour later, Mrs. Norton drove her stylish black Jaguar convertible sports car and took Zhang Heng from Kwun Tong to Prince Edward Road to dine at a Hui restaurant.
Because Zhang Heng misses the taste of his hometown, in this life, I don't know when he will be able to go back.
Watching him gobble up stinky salmon meat and edamame tofu, Mrs. Norton shrunk her nose, but a smile bloomed: "Eat slowly, there are still more dishes." ”
When she went back, Mrs. Norton deliberately turned a corner, parked the car on the densely shaded Liande Road outside Lantian Park, was silent for a while, and turned her face to stare at Zhang Heng.
"Thank you for comforting me today, in fact, I should be doing it. ”
"It's okay, I'm a man, and it's right to comfort a woman. Zhang Heng said angrily.
Mrs. Norton gave him a strange look, and without saying a word, started the car.
"I'm still not sure if you've really confirmed the miracle, but for your own sake, we'd better keep a low profile in the future. On the way, she said.
"Hmm. "If it weren't for making an excuse for some mutations that he couldn't hide, Zhang Heng wouldn't have borrowed this name, once he went too far and was found by the Vatican's gangs of magic sticks, it would be a big trouble.
As she was about to enter the east gate of Lam Tin Estate, she said, "What do you want to do next? If you want to go back to school, I think Form 2 should be more suitable for you." ”
"I'm not going to school for the time being, I want to make money, Sister Xia Di owes a lot of foreign debts for me and my mother," the corners of Zhang Heng's mouth tugged, "I want to open a newsstand here, I don't know if I can ......"
"No problem, there is no point set up here, and I will help you do it tomorrow, but I want to warn you, there are not many people here who like to read books and newspapers, such as your ......buildings," Mrs. Norton agreed, but tactfully reminded him, and even teased him.
"Yes, the residents of Lam Tin Estate either came down from Tiu Keng Ling or fled from the north more than ten years ago, and making ends meet is the top priority. Zhang Heng smiled bitterly and nodded firmly, "But it's finally an exclusive operation, so you should be able to make some money." ”
"I'm glad I don't sink in. Mrs. Norton smiled, "But how do you thank me?"
Pledge in person?
Zhang Heng almost blurted out, scolding himself in his heart for not changing his stubborn nature, he said seriously: "In the revelation I got, I also vaguely saw something else, just now we have determined that it is related to the Olympic Games, then I can be sure that it is likely to be the gold medal list." “
"I know that Xiangjiang also has an office of the British spinach company, maybe you can try your luck, but don't play too much, maybe I'm confused this time." Finally, he suggested.
"How can the Lord's revelation be used for undue gain?" said Mrs. Norton, smiling again, wrinkling her nose, "I can use it to help more people in need." What do you see?"
The corners of Zhang Heng's mouth curled, although Mrs. Norton is a devout believer, she is not rigid, on the contrary, she is more flexible than the Chinese in many aspects, which is also an important reason why she can manage the primary school in Lantian well.
"I saw a lot of animals chasing a golden sun, a polar bear at the front, a bald eagle flying behind, then a golden ear of wheat, and a black eagle at the back, and I didn't see the rest clearly. ”
"Little devil!" Lady Norton glanced at him meaningfully, "I see, if I win, I'll get half of you!"
