7. Wish Stone
Lin Lin's location is in the back window of the classroom, and when she looks up, she can see rows of sturdy oak trees.
The first class was mathematics, one of Lin Lin's most annoying classes, the math teacher stood on the podium and spat on it, and the white chalk scratched the blackboard and splashed a little dust, which seemed to have turned into tiny sleepy insects and floated into Lin Lin's nose.
Lin Lin couldn't help but yawn, turned her head to look out the window, the sunlight was filtered by the layers of leaves, turning into a faint round mottled halo, which spilled through the glass window onto her desk.
The wish stone in the drawer sensed a strong aura, and jumped a few centimeters higher at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, and the sea-blue rhizomes bathed in golden light brought the illusion of being in the ocean.
The gently swaying waist and the beating halo of light, Lin Lin's mind flashed, and she took out the drawing board from the drawer, wanting to depict this smart and wonderful scene.
Just as Quan was thinking and the brush in her hand was like a shuttle, a white chalk seemed to have long eyes and rushed towards her head, and a "click" sound was accompanied by the laughter of the whole class.
Lin Lin touched the smashing pain and looked at the podium with a confused face.
The math teacher came down with a blackboard eraser, "Lin Lin, have you forgotten what you scored last time?" Now that the teacher is lecturing, you still don't listen well, why don't you understand the principle that the stupid bird flies first? ”
Lin Lin subconsciously pushed the wish tree and the drawing board into the drawer, but the math teacher quickly pulled out her drawing board.
"It's really not a good job for you to do these things in class! Are you worthy of the tuition fees your parents paid you? Drawing all day long this useless thing, can it help you get into college? Can you still eat it as a meal? ”
After the math teacher finished scolding, she tore off half of her drawings in three or two clicks, and at the end, she said angrily: "Stand outside for me!" Reflect! ”
Lin Lin didn't dare to resist, pulled the corner of her clothes and stood in the corridor amid ridicule, and the girls from other classes who came back from physical education class saw her and pointed at her with a smile and whispered.
Lin Lin lowered her head, and crystal tears fell on the marble, not for the sarcasm of the teacher, nor for the ridicule of her classmates, but for the distress of her unfinished painting.
Lin Lin likes to read comics and draw comics, but her liking is too humble, and she can't even see the sun, especially after junior high school, she has to be sneaky to draw a picture. Parents and teachers have the same concept, there is no future in painting, there are few artists with normal nerves, not to mention, how many are famous? It's more reliable to study honestly and find a good job.
When she was out of school, Lin Lin was surprised to find that the Wish Stone had matured when she was tidying up the drawers, this time bending the rhizome to form a ring shape, and a palm-sized blue leaf suddenly appeared in the middle. It's like a deep eye that can't see through the bottom.
Lin Lin carefully put it into her schoolbag, her heart blossomed, and there was another wish fulfilled, what wish should she make? Gotta think about it.
However, before Lin Lin could think of the wish she made, her excitement was frozen.
As soon as he got home, Father Lin was sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigarette with a gloomy face, Mother Lin was cooking in the kitchen, and when she heard her voice coming back, she took off her apron and came out of it and beckoned to her, "You come here." ”
Lin Lin chuckled in her heart, slowly moved her steps, and before she could get to her, Father Lin suddenly knocked the coffee table, "Say!" What do you do in school? If you don't take the class seriously, what else can you do in the future! ”
Mother Lin's feelings were relatively normal, and she let out a long sigh, "Your teacher called us today and said that you were drawing during class. Lin Lin, it's not easy for your parents to make money, and the reason for you to go to study is to let you get admitted to a good university and find a good job in the future, not to do these idle things. ”
"Then you can let me learn to paint, art students still have a low admission score?" Lin Lin pursed her lips and retorted.
"Drawing, painting, messing up all these messy things all day long, I see what you have in the future!" Father Lin glared at her and said angrily.
"Drawing is not a mess!" Lin Lin was very unhappy that her hobby was described like this by her father.
"Mom and Dad, I see that there are a lot of cartoons in my sister's room," Lin Wei was watching TV with a popsicle in her mouth, and when she heard the fight between her parents and her sister, she squeaked over and added fuel to the fire, "It's at the bottom of her desk drawer, and the last time I saw it with my own eyes, she also locked it." ”
Lin Lin swept the past with a blank eye, but Lin Wei laughed gloatingly.
Father Lin and Mother Lin were furious when they heard this information, because Lin Lin asked them for money before and said that it was to buy reference books, okay, it turned out that the money was spent on comics.
Lin Lin was forced to hand over the key, and after Lin's father and mother found the comics, they tore them all up in front of her.
"Give me a good reflection today, don't eat!"
The door slammed shut, and Lin Lin trembled heavily.
She sat in a pile of broken comics, curled up her legs, her face buried in her knees, bean-sized tears falling to the floor and splashing crystal droplets.
The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and she sobbed quietly. Why should she even be deprived of her hobbies? Why did she have to study all day? Why does she always do things she doesn't like?
"Sister?"
I don't know how long later, Lin Wei's voice sounded next to him, Lin Lin looked over with tears in his eyes, and saw that he had a chicken leg in his hand.
"Sister, I left it for you, you can eat it." Lin Wei handed her the things in his hand.
Lin Lin waved her hand in disgust, "Who wants to eat what you have left!" "If he hadn't complained, her comics wouldn't have been ruined, and now what kind of good person is pretending to be?
Lin Wei was slapped by Lin Lin, and the chicken leg in his hand fell to the ground with a click, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes contained tears of grievance, and the corners of his mouth drooped.
Lin Lin frowned and looked at him, the more he felt that the other party was hateful, they were all ten-year-old boys, and they still cried their noses at every turn, it was disgusting! It's all used to being given by parents, and they are afraid that their palms will be broken and they will melt in their mouths.
"What are you crying about, don't make it as good as a sissy!" Lin Lin couldn't help but yell at him.
Father Lin and Mother Lin heard the movement and ran to the room to see that Lin Lin was scolding their son fiercely, and immediately frowned.
"Lin Lin, why are you so fierce to your brother, do you have a sister like you?" Mother Lin touched her son's head distressedly.
"Mom, my sister said I was a sissy." Lin Wei wiped his tears and pointed at Lin Lin and said.
"Lin Lin!" Father Lin raised his voice very displeased when he heard his precious son being described like this, "You have done something wrong yourself, not only do you not repent, but you also bully your younger brother, it is really too much, how can I have a daughter like you!" ”
I should ask you this question! Lin Lin snorted coldly in her heart and turned her head.
Seeing her like this, Father Lin and Mother Lin sighed in disappointment and coaxed Lin Wei out.
There was no sound in the room all of a sudden, Lin Lin leaned her head on her arm, looked at the dark night outside the window, and couldn't help but fall into the whirlpool of memories, when did she start to become so humble in this home? When did parents start to hate themselves so much?
Oh, she remembered. This qiē was changed after Lin Wei was born.
Ever since they had a son, their parents have become more and more indifferent to themselves, because they have given all their love to their son, and they have neglected her at all, and they know all day long to severely reprimand her for not studying well.
Whenever there is a conflict with Lin Wei, your parents will never stand on their side, they will say that you are an older sister and should let your younger brother go. It doesn't matter who's right or who's wrong. Is it a matter of age? No, but because I'm a girl and my brother is a boy.
Lin Lin sniffed, Lin Wei didn't study well, but his parents never said about him, why did he have to be beaten badly? She's obviously their gas bag!
In the past, when there was only one child in the family, her parents would not be willing to treat her like this!
It's all Lin Wei, if he hadn't complained, the comics wouldn't have been discovered and destroyed, if it weren't for his survival, she would definitely have been able to possess all the favor of her parents, and she wouldn't be like now, and no one would pay attention to her when she was hungry・・・・・・・
If only there was no Lin Wei, if only he disappeared ・・・・・・.
Lin Lin thought of something, immediately wiped away her tears, picked up the dropped schoolbag, and took out a small flower pot with a wish stone planted in it, the azure leaves were ripe, and it fell into her hands with a light pull.
Lin Lin took out a black pen, lay on the floor and quickly wrote, "I hope my brother disappears." ”
Putting the leaves in the palm of his hand, he silently said "wish fulfillment" three times in his heart, Lin Lin found that the leaves disappeared like last time, but what appeared on the palm was a black vein, and it took three or four seconds before it disappeared.
The next day, Lin Lin woke up from the bed, remembering the wish she made last night, and felt a little uneasy in her heart, after all, she was her own brother who had lived for so many years・・・・・・ she was too impulsive last night, and she regretted it now.
But such a big living person shouldn't disappear for no reason・・・・・・
Lin Lin opened the door through a small crack, just in time to see Lin's mother put bread and milk in Lin Wei's schoolbag, Lin Wei picked up the schoolbag and said goodbye to her and went out to school.
Lin Lin closed the door and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, it's okay, it's okay, if Lin Wei really disappears, she will live in guilt for the rest of her life.
The voice of Lin's mother sounded in the living room, Lin Lin agreed and hurriedly rushed into the bathroom, grabbed a slice of bread from the kitchen after washing and hurried to the bus stop.
The last class on Tuesday afternoon was a fixed meeting time for the whole school, so Lin Lin got out of school very early that day, but she didn't dare to delay, and went home immediately with a bag of homework papers.
The door of the house was not locked, and Lin Lin smelled a different smell as soon as she stepped in.
Father and Mother Lin unexpectedly got off work very early, and the grandparents came to her house from the countryside and are now sitting on the big sofa in the living room.
"Grandpa, grandma, you're here." Lin Lin greeted lightly, the older generation is patriarchal, so she has had a very indifferent relationship with them since she was a child.
Next to her, Mother Lin raised her red and swollen eyes from crying and said to her, "Lin Lin, your brother is gone." ”
