[6] Rumors of energy pools
When he came back from physical education class, Liang Yucheng found that the stone was missing. At the moment, he has very mixed feelings.
On the one hand, he didn't want to see that stupid thing again, and on the other hand, he didn't want to be tricked. He hoped that Clover would come back to him again to prove that he had done his work in vain these days, and that he had really done them a great favor.
Fang Dayuan said: "The stone was taken by Zhu Peng." ”
Liang Yucheng thought about it carefully and knew that Fang Dayuan was not talking nonsense.
Some time ago, he protected the stone like a treasure every day, and he was ridiculed by Zhu Peng's gang several times, saying that he had a problem with his brain and took a broken stone as a treasure. Zhu Peng didn't like him, and he didn't like his stones.
Liang Yucheng was determined to get the stone back, he knew that it was stupid for him to do so, knowing that he might be deceived, but he still wanted to hold on to the one percent possibility.
He took advantage of the end of class to run to find Zhu Peng.
Zhu Peng was very happy, took out the stone from under the desk, pointed to the door and said, "If you have anything to say after going to the auditorium." ”
Zhu Peng's two good friends also came to the back of the auditorium together, Liang Yucheng saw this situation and knew that the situation was very unfavorable to him, but he couldn't think of a smarter way for a while.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, the two boys really jumped up and held him down without saying a word.
Liang Yucheng struggled a few times and couldn't move, so he gave up resisting, and only said to Zhu Peng in a low voice: "You give me back that thing." ”
"Weren't you crazy last time, say what's wrong with you, and you still want to do it with me!" Zhu Peng's immature face showed an ignorant and arrogant look: "If you want to be so powerful, you can take it yourself." ”
Liang Yucheng's heart was as uncomfortable as a knife. Don't blame others, blame yourself for being too cowardly. Once a person who is used to being a loses his temper or wants to resist, the abuser will have several times more disgust with him than ordinary people in shock.
He didn't move, only said, "I hate you too." ”
"Like a woman. Zhu Peng grinned and handed the stone to Liang Yucheng's mouth.
One of the boys seemed to understand his intentions, and hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, such a big thing, if you swallow it, something will happen in your stomach!"
After all, Zhu Peng was just a sixth-grade child, and when he was reminded by his peers, his courage suddenly shrank by half, but he refused to stop thinking about it, so he was ready to smash this small stone with a bigger stone.
However, as soon as the small stone was thrown to the ground, it automatically shattered into fine sand-like stone powder without much effort, which was more fragile than ceramics.
Everyone watched in amazement at this strange scene.
At this time, Liang Yucheng was convinced that this was really the precious treasure that Clov said, and he thought: It's over, I can't explain this matter to Clov.
Zhu Peng stuffed this small handful of stone powder into Liang Yucheng's mouth, he thought that this kind of stone powder would not choke people to death, it would not cause a big incident, and it could humiliate this stupid boy and teach him a lesson. It's a double win.
Liang Yucheng was furious, but what was even more strange was that this crushed stone powder did not have a peculiar smell at all, nor did he feel a little roughness, but it was more like it melted in his mouth, he didn't even dare to move his tongue, but the strange thing automatically slid through his throat and flowed into his stomach.
His legs went limp, and he fell to the ground in fright.
When Zhu Peng and others saw this situation, they thought that he had an adverse reaction in his body and panicked.
One of the boys who grabbed him immediately let go and hurriedly asked, "Hey, do you have a stomachache?"
Liang Yucheng shook his head, and looked down at his safe and sound stomach again, feeling at a loss.
Since this incident passed, Zhu Peng was probably afraid that he would sue, so he never came to trouble him again. Liang Yucheng had the mentality of calming things down, and he never mentioned this matter to others.
A month before graduating from primary school, Liang Yucheng told his head teacher that he would no longer go to junior high school. This is what his grandmother meant, and he also thinks that since he is stupid, it is good to come out and work early.
As everyone knows, that night, the director of education came to his house in person, saying that he was visiting his home on behalf of the school.
Liang Yucheng's grandmother was stunned for a moment and invited him into the house to sit.
The teaching director didn't think that his home was simple, nor did he think that the chairs and teacups were dirty, so he sat and drank tea, and said straight to the point: "Grandma Liang, that's the case, after discussion with the school leaders, it was decided to sponsor Liang Yucheng to complete junior high school for three years, in addition to tuition and accommodation fees, and give another 30,000 yuan a year for living expenses, what do you think?"
This condition makes outsiders hear, naturally they are full of doubts and can't believe it.
But Liang Yucheng's grandmother didn't ask anything, she didn't want to ask anything, she only calculated that if she gave 30,000 yuan a year for living expenses, then she could take out most of the 30,000 yuan every month to subsidize the family. She didn't dare to ask about the pie that fell from the sky, for fear that her dream would be shattered in an instant.
As a result, Liang Yucheng was able to continue to enter the first year of junior high school, live in the school dormitory according to the regulations, and only go home once every weekend.
Shotok Middle School and Shotok Elementary School are in the same school and are divided into a primary school and a junior high school.
After being promoted to the first year of junior high school, Liang Yucheng did not have the same table, and the number of people in the class happened to be singular, so he sat in the last seat by himself.
After graduating from primary school, Fang Dayuan stopped studying and helped his father, who sold pork, to take care of the shop at home. Liang Yucheng sometimes went to the market to buy vegetables, and he would be seen wielding a thick knife to cut off each rib with precision. The knife technique is unexpectedly beautiful.
Seeing Fang Dayuan who started to make a living like this, Liang Yucheng always had an indescribable feeling in his heart, if he didn't have the school's funding, he would have lived a similar life as Fang Dayuan in advance, maybe even worse.
He felt helpless, a helplessness that wanted to change his fate, but was unable to do so.
Maybe after three years of junior high school, he can only go to the fields to farm, secretly save money little by little, and then secretly find his mother's whereabouts.
The direction of the future is too vague, and Liang Yucheng does not dare to think about it. He was ashamed of his cowardice.
One day after school, he met the dean of students downstairs. The teaching director beckoned to him, Liang Yucheng smiled a little embarrassed, and called out awkwardly, "Hello director".
The teaching director smiled back considerately, he was a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby figure and often wearing reading glasses, he was usually very serious, but at this time Liang Yucheng felt the gentleness in it.
"You can keep up with your studies, right?" said the dean.
"It's a bit out of place. Liang Yucheng shook his head in shame, he had never studied well before, and now he didn't expect his junior high school grades to improve by leaps and bounds.
"When I first entered junior high school, I couldn't keep up with the rhythm, so I just had to do my best. ”
Liang Yucheng suddenly remembered that Liu Shenghai had mentioned that the director of education had also approved him for free school uniforms, and now that he thinks about it, it is indeed true.
There was also a scholarship for junior high school, not so much a scholarship as a special grant from the school, including the fact that the dean of education was concerned about his studies at the moment, and he was flattered to not understand why the school and the dean suddenly cared so much about him.
After chatting for a while, the dean took out a note from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "This is for you, go home and read it again." ”
Liang Yucheng was even more confused in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the teaching director's gourd.
Halfway through, he couldn't resist the drive of curiosity, and eagerly opened the note to read, which read: "Liang Yucheng, please come to me tonight at the foot of Shanyun Mountain and bring that precious stone." The situation is urgent, and I hope you can come as promised. The name of the signature is Clof. ”
He "chuckled" in his heart, Clov really came back to him, then, what she said before was true, she didn't play tricks on him.
The feeling of relief made him overcome his fear for a while, and he went to the foot of the Silent Cloud Mountain at night, which he would never dare to go in normal times.
But he suddenly remembered that the stone had been destroyed by Zhu Peng. He didn't protect the rock as promised, and if Clov knew, he would definitely be angry. He didn't have the face to see her, but he knew he had to make it clear to her in person and apologize to her. There is no escaping this.
At night, the Silent Cloud Mountain is almost hidden in the deep black, revealing only a faint undulating outline.
Every time Liang Yucheng took a few steps, he had to look back behind him. He didn't know what he was afraid of, and it might just be a psychological comfort.
"Hey, coward!" Someone suddenly shouted in a deliberately raised voice, and a figure appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of him.
"I'll go! You're scared me to death!" Liang Yucheng glared at Clov dissatisfied, and was so frightened that his heart couldn't stop beating wildly.
Clover looked at him funny: "You are a big boy, you are as timid as sand, so I will simply call you a little sand in the future." ”
Liang Yucheng settled down, but he was silent. After a while, he hesitated and said, "The stone is ruined." He told her all about what had happened.
The expression on Clof's face was a little disappointed, but also consternation, and she said in disbelief, "What swallowed into your stomach, that can't be." Unless you're really not a son of the gods, unless that's not a phoenix!"
Liang Yucheng didn't know what she was talking about, so he only said with certainty again: "It really swallowed in my stomach." ”
As he was talking, a strange gust of wind swept through the sand, and the force could almost blow people away.
Liang Yucheng hugged the tree trunk beside him, and at the same time took out a hand and subconsciously dragged Clov, "What's the matter, it's a typhoon?"
Clover thought his posture was too funny, but seeing that the situation was not good, she couldn't laugh for a while. She frowned and said, "It's not good, it's the Eagle Clan here!"
Two men dressed in brown leather jackets with black patterns appeared in front of them.
Liang Yucheng remembered that the two men who came to rob his treasure last time were also wearing the same clothes, but these two people looked different from the two last time.
"I'll deal with them, you run. Clov turned pale and whispered.
Maybe the enemy was too strong, Liang Yucheng clearly felt that her voice couldn't stop shaking.
