Chapter 14: Sugar in the Photo
There is often a herd effect among students, when no one is the first to express their opinions, and when there is silence below, once someone breaks the silence and takes the lead in taking a stand, and has the support of other people, then soon everyone else will start to express similar views.
After the boy named Rao Hai opened his mouth first, and a little fat man opened his mouth to respond, many students below did not raise their hands or stand up, but they also nodded one after another, and said that they also seemed to have seen Ke Xiaowen leaving the school gate after school, of course, how many of them were really seen, and how many were just singing with the gang, it is unknown.
After Dai Xu listened to the students' gossip, he nodded at the boy named Rao Hai, and asked with a smile: "Then did you see whether Ke Xiaowen left by himself, or with someone?" ”
"You went on your own, right?" Rao Hai scratched the back of his head, looking like he couldn't eat accurately, "I was hungry after school, so I went to the supermarket to buy bread and grilled sausages, and then went to the bicycle shed to get the car, I saw Ke Xiaowen walking outside the school from afar, and when I came out after buying bread and baked sausages, Ke Xiaowen was long gone, I didn't see who he was with, either there was no one, or he was abducted by a ghost, not necessarily!" Didn't they all say that the ghost hit the wall or something, he couldn't prepare, he didn't run away from home at all, and he couldn't get lost in a corner of the corner, hey, have you ever found a men's bathroom? Maybe this thing has been in the toilet for a day! ”
The next sentence behind him was obviously a joke of a boy of this age, and several people in the class laughed. But Teacher Wang was a little uncomfortable, after all, she knew it very well in her heart. Ke Xiaowen did not simply run away from home, but had already died. So she quickly cleared her throat and glared at Rao Hai: "Don't joke, the police are doing serious things." ”
Although Teacher Wang is gentle, after all, there is still some teacher's majesty, as soon as she said this, the students who had just laughed quieted down, Rao Hai also shrunk his neck, lowered his head, and stopped speaking.
Dai Xu turned his gaze to the little fat man again. He asked with a smile: "What is the name of this classmate?" ”
The little fat man was named, a little nervous, and quickly stood upright, and said with a red face: "Report, my name is Zhang Chao...... I...... I didn't see Ke Xiaowen walking with anyone, I was still talking to him, I remember that he usually lived in the school, and asked him if he was running away from bed to play, why did he suddenly think so much. Ke Xiaowen is usually honest, and then Ke Xiaowen said that he had something to do and had to go home, so he was in a hurry. And then ...... Then I walked slowly, Ke Xiaowen was in a hurry, so he didn't wait for me. Gone on their own. ”
When the students below heard this, they couldn't help but laugh again. The little fat man's face turned even redder, and he glared at the snickering classmates around him dissatisfiedly: "I am born to walk slowly." It's not because it's fat! ”
It was better that he didn't explain, but when he explained, he added to it, and the students below laughed even more.
"Did he tell you what was the matter with him coming home?" Fang Yuan asked this little fat man named Zhang Chao.
The little fat man Zhang Chao shook his head: "He didn't say it, I guess, he should lie to me, right?" If he really came home, his father wouldn't be able to find him! He must have run away at that time, afraid that I would betray him and lie to me. ”
Dai Xu asked others again, and the others couldn't say anything, some said that they just saw Ke Xiaowen from a distance, and some said that they seemed to see Ke Xiaowen, but they couldn't be sure, it was too dark at night, basically some of the answers that were equal to not saying, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan listened for a long time, and they also felt that it didn't make much sense, so they simply didn't ask more, and casually chatted with the students about Ke Xiaowen's daily performance, basically the answers given by the students were similar to what Teacher Wang said, and they all felt that Ke Xiaowen was honest and didn't talk much, Although it's not a very introverted person, it's not related to being lively and cheerful, and the popularity in the class is not good, but it's not bad.
After grasping this information, Dai Xu thanked Teacher Wang and the students in the class, left with Fang Yuan, went out of the teaching building, and went straight to the dormitory building, according to the words he heard from Teacher Deng during the day, he found the dormitory building where Ke Xiaowen lived, and explained the situation to the dormitory teacher in the dormitory building, the dormitory teacher was startled at first, and then heard that the student did not escape from the dormitory, nor did it happen in the dormitory, and there was no responsibility for him, so he was a little relieved and told Dai Xu and Fang Yuan, Students usually get out of the evening class at 8 o'clock, and then the school does not require them to study in the school building, day students can go home, students who do not want to go home or live in the dormitory, can stay in the class for self-study, if they don't like to be in the class, they can also go back to the dormitory to stay, until half past ten before the lights go out, they are free.
"I guess that the students will be back after evening class at eight o'clock, and you can go to that student's dormitory and ask the other students in his dormitory." The dormitory teacher in the boys' dormitory is an uncle in his fifties, thin and tall, talking a little cigarette and alcohol, and his voice is hoarse, "These students, who stay in self-study until ten o'clock, are basically from key classes, or top students in ordinary classes who want to rush, other students are afraid that they got off the evening class at eight o'clock, and they have to stay in the classroom for evening self-study until ten o'clock before they can come out, they are uncomfortable, and many of them basically come back to the dormitory after eight o'clock." Alas, in these days, every family is basically just such a child, and it is not good to spoil it, especially these leather boys, it is really difficult to manage, one of them is not watched, so I will go to the house to uncover the tiles and poke some baskets out! ”
"Do you have any impression of Ke Xiaowen, a student? Is it the one who usually makes a mess for you? Dai Xu knew that Ke Xiaowen had the impression of being more honest and obedient among parents, teachers, and even classmates, but he still deliberately asked the dormitory manager to see if he would say anything else.
The housekeeper thought for a moment and shook his head: "Let me tell you so, I don't have any impression of this kid you asked. I don't remember it, but it's actually a good thing. If you think about it, I'm in charge of such a building. How many boys live in it? I remember them one by one, and I don't have that good memory, so the ones who can usually be listed here are either the famous naughty buns, or the gangsters don't learn well, or it's the other way around, it's the kind of little nest that is bullied the most, and can please God can't send God, and most of the rules and regulations are left. When I go to class, I leave school at night, I don't mess around with people from other schools in the dormitory, I don't use illegal electrical appliances, I don't gather in the dormitory to smoke, drink, and play poker. ”
The housekeeper said the same thing, a dormitory building with hundreds of students, spanning three grades in high school. There are thirty or forty classes, and they are updated every year, and it is absolutely impossible for the dormitory teacher to remember them all. However, such an answer is also affirmed from the other side. Ke Xiaowen has never been a troublesome student, whether it is in study or life, he is very decent.
So. Why did such a decent student be poisoned? Fang Yuan secretly speculated. I think that judging from the current situation, maybe the family factor is greater than the social factor.
Students don't get out of class until 8 p.m. If you want to meet and chat with Ke Xiaowen's roommates and take a look at the situation in Ke Xiaowen's dormitory, I'm afraid you will have to wait for the students to return to the dormitory after evening class, but fortunately, it is already more than seven o'clock, and the students don't need to wait too long for the evening class.
It's just that after Fang Yuan talked to the dormitory teacher, he suddenly remembered that they seemed to have agreed to Bai Ziyue's invitation, and Bai Ziyue's non-negotiable invitation text message had agreed to meet and disperse, and it happened to be eight o'clock in the evening, originally she and Dai Xu didn't expect that they would need to delay in school for so long, but now it seems that it is impossible to go to the appointment on time.
"What to do? Do you need to say a word to Bai Ziyue, another day? She asked Dai Xu.
Dai Xu shook his head: "Forget it, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, tomorrow and tomorrow, tomorrow is so much, if you don't eat this meal for a day, it will add another thing to the future, anyway, it's just that the two of us need to be late, Zhong Han and the others don't have a problem, I turned around and told Tang Hongye, they will eat normally when they arrive, don't wait for us, leave us a mouthful, don't let the two of us just dip the steamed buns in vegetable soup at that time." ”
Fang Yuan felt a little funny when he heard him talk about the situation of the two of them so pitifully, although it was a little sad to say that he couldn't be punctual, but the objective situation was here, Ke Xiaowen's case had just taken over, and things would naturally not be too little, when Bai Ziyue first called Dai Xu to send out an invitation, Dai Xu also clearly told her that she had a case in hand, so she could only apologize for being late.
Although it was said that there was still a dinner date in the evening, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan had eaten something in a hurry since noon, until now, their stomachs had already been empty, and they were waiting, Dai Xu simply went to the school supermarket, bought two fragrant cumin-smelling roasted sausages, handed one to Fang Yuan, one for himself, and the two of them sat on the cement flower bed outside the dormitory building and ate slowly.
The autumn night is slightly cool, eating the hot roasted sausages can not only temporarily relieve hunger, but also make people feel a lot warmer, Fang Yuan bit the steaming roast sausages while looking at the teaching building not far away, all the windows on the teaching building are lit, some are hanging light blue curtains, some class curtains are not hung, and you can see the shadowy figures inside, Fang Yuan suddenly felt a feeling and laughed.
"Why do I suddenly feel like I'm a truant student?" She said to Dai Xu.
Dai Xu looked at her and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" Evoking memories of the past and remembering your high school life? ”
"Sort of." Fang Yuan nodded slightly distractedly, and sighed softly, "How good it was at that time, stupid, I didn't know how thick the sky was, I didn't know how to worry, I didn't need to think about anything except for homework and exams in class and class, everything about the future felt that it was very natural, it was very simple, and I didn't notice many things around me." Looking back now, I feel that I was very stupid at that time, but the stupid was very simple, and there was a feeling of silly happiness and silly happiness, and that feeling can no longer be found. ”
Dai Xu seemed to understand what she was feeling, and looked at Fang Yuan thoughtfully, without speaking.
"It feels like having a sweet dream, and suddenly I wake up and come back to reality, and the dream is like I can't go back." Fang Yuan smiled bitterly and let out a sigh of emotion, after finishing speaking, he shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off all the troubles in his heart, "Oh, what's wrong with me today, I must have been in high school, and I was also infected by this atmosphere, and I actually missed my previous student life." ”
"Don't remember the past," Dai Xu patted her on the shoulder, "All the things in the past, even if it's sugar, it's also the sugar in the photo, let alone looking, even if you lick it, you won't taste it." Therefore, you must look forward to being a person, and you have to believe that there is nothing worth nostalgia for the fruit candy in the photo, and there is chocolate waiting for you in front of you. ”
"It doesn't matter if I have chocolate or not, at least now I have grilled sausages to eat." Fang Yuan was comforted by Dai Xu like this, and he also felt warm in his heart, so he simply put aside the sad sentimentality before, raised the roasted sausage in his hand, and said happily.
Dai Xu also smiled at her, raised his roasted sausage and touched it in Fang Yuan's hand: "Do you know what is the most attractive thing about your personality?" It's this kind of setback, even if you are only discouraged for a while, and then you can always pick up the energy and continue to move forward. ”
Fang Yuan was a little embarrassed by his praise, he laughed dryly, biting the roasted sausage and not answering.
After a while, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan's grilled sausages were finished, and students began to come back one after another, the two of them returned to the dormitory teacher's room and waited, the dormitory manager teacher stood at the door to help them wait for Ke Xiaowen's students in the same dormitory, about ten minutes later, two boys carried snacks such as baked steamed bread slices and baked gluten in their hands, and walked in with a smile, and the dormitory teacher immediately stopped them.
"Yang Fan! Xu permanent! Don't go yet, come here! He stopped the two boys, then turned around and said to Dai Xu and Fang Yuan in the room, "I helped you stop the two Ke Xiaowen from sleeping together, and you can tell them the rest of the rest!" (To be continued......)
