Chapter 5 Disabled Orphans, Downcast Strange Diseases
Following Yu Mei out of the office building, and walking back along the bluestone path next to the building, I found that this special school for children was much bigger than I expected.
Passing around the office building, the first thing that catches your eye is a huge playground. It may be that the land price of the ghost village is relatively cheap, this playground is twice the size of the ordinary school playground, and it is almost a kilometer down from a lap of the runway.
On the other side of the playground are several small two-story buildings built in rows, and Yu Mei said that there is a student area, where classrooms, dormitories, and restaurants are located.
I don't know why the school building was designed like this, but one thing I did understand, no wonder I couldn't hear a sound when I entered the school gate. The office building in front and the teaching area in the back are so far away that it is strange that you can hear the sound.
As Yu Mei strolled forward, the closer she got there, the clearer the familiar sounds of schoolchildren playing noisily became.
Yu Mei pointed to the first building, turned to me and explained, "Student Yan, our special children's school is dedicated to accepting special children. There are three types of special children, orphans, disabled children, and disabled children.
Orphan refers to orphans, generally, abandoned babies who appear in the ghost village or children under the age of twelve who come in alone from the outside are considered orphans and must be sent here. This kind of student has the most in our special school, and they occupy the first three school buildings, and they are all poor children, and I heard that some of them do not know who their parents are from birth to death.
Disability refers to children with physical disabilities, who have changed from the above two situations, and there are also children with parents who have had accidents. They are the least numerous, with classrooms and dormitories taking up only the fourth building. These children are relatively lucky. I can receive some restorative training and learning here, and I can take care of my own life in the future.
Finally, there is the disability, which refers to a person with an intellectual disability. This kind of people are the most pitiful, some of them are thirty or forty years old, and their IQ is still at the level of seven or eight-year-old children, and they are unlikely to get out of here for the rest of their lives.
This year, we have taken in a lot of new students, basically all of them are orphans, most of them are physically disabled, and not only disabled, but also have various psychological problems. I heard that it was because of a big earthquake outside. That's right. Classmate Yan, you only came to the ghost village this year, what happened to the earthquake?"
"Uh......"
Hearing Yu Mei's question, I was a little speechless for a while. Earthquake, what can happen? If anyone can explain what a natural disaster is. Will there be so many human tragedies?
An earthquake. There are at least tens of thousands of missing people, and even if only one-tenth of them are children, then there must be several thousand. Their parents are gone. They are still physically disabled, and they are psychologically traumatized by that kind of disaster, and they are all orphaned, disabled, and disabled, and they really don't know how to continue their lives in the future.
"Alas, I can't say either, the 8.0 magnitude earthquake killed and injured countless people. The children who can come here, I don't know if they are lucky or unlucky. I shook my head helplessly, not wanting to talk about these heavy things anymore, so I changed the topic to Mei and asked, "Teacher Yu Mei, I heard Principal Liu mention that you are the head teacher of the third class of the handicap, which means that the students you are responsible for are all intellectually disabled?"
"Yes, we have a teaching area here that is divided according to the orphan, the disabled, and the handicapped, and the class is determined according to the student's own situation. Orphans are classified according to age, disabled people are classified according to categories, and disorders are classified according to pathology. There were a total of 22 students in the class I led, all of whom were children with "downfall syndrome". ”
"What's that?"
"Well, forget you just came from outside and don't know some jargon. The downfall of the ghost village seems to be called autism or autism on the outside. ”
"Ah, autism, I know. ”
"Well, our downfall syndrome is probably a kind of disease with autism. The name is taken from the word 'lost soul', which says that when people reach middle age, they will be silent, and if this happens to children, it will become depressed. From a psychological point of view, this is a disorder of consciousness formation, physiologically, it is a partial loss of brain function, and from a spiritual point of view, it is the incompleteness of the seven spirits, which also means 'downfall'.
In fact, this kind of disease is easier to treat in the ghost village, as long as the souls of those children are completed through special techniques. However, some people are special, and their seven spirits are only separated from the human body, not disappearing, which causes the other souls they have not to accept the newly created things, and over time, they cannot be cured.
We can't find out why, and we can't find their lost souls, so these children can only live here, either waiting for a miracle to happen or waiting for themselves to reach the end of their lives. ”
Yu Mei said this, her eyes full of sadness and sighing.
And after listening to her words, my eyes lit up.
Downfall, the seven souls are incomplete, and the lost soul can't be recovered, isn't this just the same as the small table lamp in my hand?
The "robot cat" small table lamp is attached to someone's thief spirit, which has lasted for a long time, and it is better to say that I came to find the owner of the lamp this time, but it is better to say that I came to find the owner of this thief swallower.
Originally, I wondered if someone's soul would be lost, but this time, isn't this school full of such people?
Perhaps, the child that Yu Mei wants to show me is a lost thief.
Thinking of this, my eyes lit up, and I hurriedly urged Teacher Yu Mei to take me to her classroom quickly.
Enthusiastically coming to the door of a classroom with a sign of "Barrier (3) Class", I followed Yu Meigang into it, and I didn't see what was going on in the room.
Suddenly, a thin figure rushed from Yu Mei's side and knelt in front of me at once.
I was so frightened that I wanted to quit, but my left foot was withdrawn, and my right foot couldn't move at all as if it had been filled with lead.
When I looked down, I saw a little girl with two pigtails, clinging to my calves and her whole face on top of my feet.
If it weren't for the fact that this little girl was only four or five years old, I would have raised my foot and kicked her away.
"Uh, kid, you're ......"
As I spoke, I bent down and wanted to pick up the little girl, but I was only halfway through the action, and Yu Mei in front of me stopped me.
"Don't move, let her smell. ”
"Huh?"
"Yes, this is Cher from our class, everyone who enters this classroom, she has to smell each other's shoes, if you interrupt her, she will get sick. ”
“……”
Looking at Yu Mei's serious expression, it took me a lot of effort to swallow the sentence "You are" back into my stomach.
A little girl has to smell someone else's shoes, who believes this Nima when she says it.
However, the fact is that the little girl who was lying in front of me rubbed my right foot for a while, and then really turned her head and hugged my left foot again.
Is this the legendary "down-and-out" child? (To be continued......
