Volume 1 That Glimmer Chapter 1 Youth
Black, endless black, deep black, black in its purest form!
It is as if you are in the deepest part of the universe, all the natural elements no longer exist, and the only thing that can be proved is that you are still alive.
Gu Xiaoshi struggled to open his eyes, his eyes were dark, and he couldn't see anything; he tried to listen with his ears, but he couldn't hear anything, there was a dead silence around him, and there was no sound; his body was being pulled by an inexplicable force, heading in a certain direction; he was very scared, desperately struggling, but he couldn't find any point of focus, he could only wave his limbs frantically, squirming his body, but the force was too strong, everything was in vain; he was tired, but he didn't want to give up like this, he didn't know where he would be dragged by that force, and he didn't know what was waiting for him。
Time has lost its meaning, I don't know how long it has been, for a moment, a strange feeling rose up, Gu Xiaoshi suddenly raised his head, looking forward, in the darkness, there seemed to be something floating.
After a quick glance, but he couldn't take his eyes off it, Gu Xiaoshi seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying, and the expression on his face changed from shock to panic to despair.
It was a huge void, indescribably big, unimaginably big, floating quietly in the void, that powerful and inexplicable force, emanating from the depths of the void, pulling itself, no, not only himself, it seemed to be devouring everything, even the endless darkness.
Gu Xiaoshi was frightened inexplicably, he didn't want to be swallowed up like this, but in the face of this huge void, he was so small, like an inconspicuous speck of dust, thrown into the rough sea, unable to stir up a single wave.
Seeing that it was close to the edge of the void and was about to disappear completely, Gu Xiaoshi closed his eyes, tried his best, and shouted hysterically: "Help!"
The next moment, as if the picture was frozen, everything suddenly stopped, and then Gu Xiaoshi felt a violent shaking, and the picture shattered, scattered, turned into dust, and there was no trace of it.
God said, "Let there be light!"
Then, Gu Xiaoshi really saw the light, but he didn't see God, only a fleshy round face in front of him.
There was more than one face, there were many, all sorts, men and women, without exception, all staring at themselves, and every face had a strange expression on it, except for the one on the podium......
"What nerves do you have?" a whisper came from beside him, from the fleshy round face, and he was heard to say, "Shocking, ghost crying!"
"What's wrong with me?" Gu Xiaoshi was in a trance for a while, not knowing what was going on, but vaguely remembering that he seemed to have had a dream just now......
"How do I know? The teacher called your name several times, but you didn't respond, so I could only shake you awake. The classmate with that fleshy round face whispered: "Look at me, learn a little, be 'well-behaved and desert', and don't affect the order of the class." ”
After that, he glared at Gu Xiaoshi, ignored him, and went to play mobile games by himself.
"You two!" A voice came from the podium: "And you, Gu Xiaoshi, what are you yelling about? Do you know that this is a class?"
Gu Xiaoshi and the one next to him buried their heads in unison, looking honest.
"Students, today is the last class, there are two weeks left, only two weeks, only two weeks, you will have to face the college entrance examination," the teacher on the podium continued, "This is an important turning point in your life......
There is no endless darkness here, there is no huge void, here is the classroom, today is the last class of the entire high school career, and in the next two weeks, the school will be closed, so that the students who are preparing to take the college entrance examination will go home to study on their own, whether they succeed or not, after two weeks, everything will be known.
Gu Xiaoshi quietly turned his head and looked out of the window stupidly, only the mountains were undulating and the drizzle was drizzling.
The owner of the meaty round face next to him, named Wang Wei, nicknamed "Wang Fatzi", is Gu Xiaoshi's hair small, and he is also a classmate and a close friend.
Since the community kindergarten, Wang Fatzi has been in the same class and table with Gu Xiaoshi, and then elementary school, junior high school and then high school, the strange thing is that no matter how to change seats, Wang Fatzi will always be around Gu Xiaoshi, in the words of Wang Fatzi, that is: "God destined the two of us to become brothers, God is the biggest." ”
No matter from which point of view, Wang Fatzi is undoubtedly the one who knows Gu Xiaoshi best, and Gu Xiaoshi in Wang Fatzi's eyes is a strange person, so he gave him a nickname - "Gu Sanwei"
The first strange among the "Three Strange Things" is what classmate Gu is doing at this moment - in a daze.
Wang Fatzi never thought that there was anything wrong with Gu Xiaoshi's head, but felt that this dull-looking teenager had a really good mind, but he just liked to be in a daze inexplicably. The classmate did not have a fixed time and place to be in a daze, he would be in a daze in class, he would be in a daze after class, and even walking on the road, occasionally staring at a tree and a flower in a daze, Wang Fatzi once thought that Gu Xiaoshi was mentally ill, and asked him many times why he was in a daze, Gu Xiaoshi himself couldn't explain it clearly, anyway, this situation would occur from time to time. What's more serious is that in recent months, Gu Xiaoshi has occasionally felt that his head is particularly chaotic, sometimes restless, sometimes quiet. When he is restless, it seems that something is scurrying in the sea of consciousness, completely uncontrollable, and when he is quiet, he involuntarily falls into a strange state, just like before, waking and dreaming......
The second monster among the "three ancient monsters" is that Gu classmates are never afraid of cold.
Strictly speaking, Gu Xiaoshi's grades are average, his appearance is average, his stature is average, he is eighteen years old, he is 178 cm tall, but his weight is only 130 pounds, compared to Wang Fatzi, of course, the gap is huge. Wang Fatzi is 172 tall, and his weight is 172 according to himself, Gu Xiaoshi doesn't say it, but he always thinks that the last 2 should be put in front, as far as Wang Fatzi's waist circumference of 3 feet 5 is concerned, this value is reliable. Winter in a mountain town often brings biting and humid winds, and no matter how thick your clothes are, you can feel like you're running naked, completely exposed to the cold air. With the fat thickness of Wang Fatzi, in the coldest time of winter, he still needs to wear a thick down jacket, but Gu Xiaoshi is always a short-sleeved T-shirt, a thin or even a little short coat, year after year, always so. In fact, Wang Fatzi didn't know that if he wasn't afraid of being regarded as a monster by others, Gu Xiaoshi would not have put on that coat at all, and a short sleeve alone was enough to survive the cold winter.
The third monster among the "Gu Three Monsters" is that Gu's physical strength is particularly good.
Regarding this, Gu Xiaoshi himself felt strange. In fact, he is not how fast he runs, how high he jumps, and how strong he is, but simply his physical strength. In the physical education class of the school, running is often there, compared with those male classmates, 30 meters, 50 meters, 100 meters, or even 200 meters, Gu Xiaoshi does not have any advantages, and he will lag behind, but when it comes to long-distance running, the kind above 800 meters, there will be occasional 1500 meters in high school, Gu Xiaoshi will always run at a speed that is not fast or slow, and he has not seen him panting. Wang Fatzi found that Gu Xiaoshi did any sports and never shouted tired. Therefore, Wang Fatzi thinks that Gu Xiaoshi is a freak, and Gu Xiaoshi's explanation is that he helped others carry beer and exercise.
This is Gu Xiaoshi, a strange ordinary person.
When the bell rings, the last class of middle school is over! Some people may go to college and continue their student careers, while others may give up their studies and never walk into the classroom again for the rest of their lives. Whether they continue to go to college or step out of school and directly into society, this will be their end point, and it is also the starting point, no matter what the choice is, they will always say goodbye to the identity of "middle school students".
The lessons that should be taken have already been completed, and the knowledge that should be learned has been taught, and it is entirely up to the students themselves to master how much they can master. The teacher stood on the podium and warned the students earnestly that they should not carry too much baggage, they must relax their minds, and meet the college entrance examination with a positive and optimistic mental outlook.
"Fart!" Wang Fatzi obviously disagreed, complained quietly, and then looked at Gu Xiaoshi who was in a daze next to him, as if trying to figure out what was going on in the head of this benevolent brother.
"What is important if grades are not important? Every year in the college entrance examination, there are so many people across the country, who is not trying hard to get a good score and squeeze into a better university. Wang Fatzi made a compassionate look and continued: "You say, how many of these people in our class can be admitted to university?"
Gu Xiaoshi woke up from Wang Fatzi's whispering, his eyes were slightly dull, he shook his head, and said, "I don't know." ”
"Good luck to everyone!" the teacher said after completing his final teaching work, leaving a blessing and admonishing, "Don't forget the time and location of the exam!"
With warm applause, Wang Fatzi picked up the schoolbag that had already been packed, ready to flash, Gu Xiaoshi got up and bowed to the teacher, and the two left the classroom together.
Standing in front of the school gate, staring at the place where he had spent six years, Gu Xiaoshi sighed for a while, farewell, middle school time.
Wang Fatzi beckoned in front of him: "Finally out of class, do you want to go out with me?"
Gu Xiaoshi shook his head lightly, there was still something at home, and he didn't have time to play, so he patted Wang Fatzi on the shoulder and said, "I won't go, you can go home too, although you don't care about the college entrance examination, it's really boring to wander around outside." ”
It's right to think about it, instead of traveling around, it's better to go home and "eat chicken" to be happy, Wang Fatzi smiled and said, "Yes, call me if you have something, go first." ”
The school and home are in the same community, very close to each other, and as soon as Gu Xiaoshi stepped into the house, he heard a childish voice coming: "Brother is back?"
It was the voice of his sister Gu Xiaoyu, and Gu Xiaoshi responded: "Hmm." ”
There was a sound of footsteps in the room, and my sister Xiaoyu ran out, holding an object in her tender white little hand, handed it to Gu Xiaoshi, and said, "Brother, someone sent a courier today, it's yours." ”
