56. Strange things give birth to strange things, strangers become relatives

Xia Yuling, Dongfang Hong and Zhang Yuying went out of the principal's office, although they had endless words to say to each other, but they couldn't miss their studies, so they all went to class first, and at the same time agreed to meet in the evening in the girls' dormitory of the third class of the year.

After evening self-study, Zhang Yuying and Xia Yuling had just returned to the dormitory, and Dongfang Hong came. When I entered the door, he said: "I didn't even have a good class on this day, and my heart is always up and down, thinking about your Xia Yuling's return, I can't understand that you obviously went to the river to die, and your schoolbag was thrown on the bank of the Prince River, how can you say that you will come back to life when you come back to life?!" ”

"That's really, Xia Yuling, tell us a good story from beginning to end!" Zhang Yuying said.

As soon as they heard this, none of the classmates who had already left their fears out of the clouds disagreed, and they all gathered around in their clothes and listened to Xia Yuling's story.

Xia Yuling herself first said: "I have been away from you for the past two days, and I heard my sister Zhang Yuying say at noon that everyone actually built a spiritual shed for me, especially Dongfanghong and Cao Zhen, who were not in the first class, also came to help me Zhang Luo, and they resisted Teacher Qiu's opposition, which moved me so much." Let me talk about it tonight, and I'm not afraid of your jokes, so I'll say anything! ”

Zhang Yuying said: "Who is still laughing at someone today?!" Just say it! ”

So, Xia Yuling told the poignant and very bizarre experience:

"That night, I went to see Zhang Yuying, her parents, and her little brother, and when I came back from the town police station, night had fallen, and it was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers, and I was walking on the street alone, thinking about nothing else. I've been expelled from the school of inquiry, and I can't study with you anymore. I can't even play with everyone when I'm fine, jump and sing, and I'm in a bad mood. Naturally, I remembered where I was going to be in the future. Can't you go back to my broken home?! The reason is that my family is not like Zhang Yuying's family, her two parents are here, and she also has a little brother, which is a complete family. ……

Dongfanghong stopped and said, "Wait for you!" When Zhang Yuying and I came to see you in the dormitory that morning, as soon as I saw you leaving, I left you a note, telling you to go to her house to live if you really can't do it! ”

"I already know, she showed me the note at noon today."

Zhang Yuying said: "I really think like that, that is, in the future. For example, if you can't go to high school or technical secondary school after graduating from junior high school, you can also come to live in my house. ”

"Then let's talk about it! I also went on to say: Zhang Yuying's family is like a family, I am good, my father died a long time ago, and my mother remarried an immodest big wine bag in order for our mother and mother to survive. Since I passed the door, my mother was angry with him every day, and the big wine bag pinched my mother's place with her hands, and sometimes used the lamp pole to burn, and the hot ones were cannons. I didn't enjoy any happiness with him at all. ……

Zhang Yuying said: "Then why don't you find a few young men to beat him?!" ”

"I was young at the time, and besides, who am I going to beat him?!"

Dongfanghong said: "If you can't fight, it's better to sue him and let the government deal with him." ”

"That's not going to work either. Once, my mother happened to see the women's director of the brigade, so she discussed with her and asked her if she could manage it. The women's director smiled and said, "You're married." The two of them have an awkward quarrel, what do you let me do?! Sue is also a blank. No one cares at all! ”

"It's not okay to sue the women's director, if you want to sue you, you have to go up!"

Xia Yuling said: "Where to sue is also nonsense!" I also continued: Nag is not obedient, I am a man with a pot Luzi, and he suffers secondly, just as Dongfanghong said that day, I am a yellow flower girl, not my own boasting, I still look like a dog, I can't stare at the fire pit when I say the dragon calls, and then go back to that broken house?! ......" A tear flowed down and I wiped it with my hand.

"Don't cry, let's talk about it!" Zhang Yuying said.

"I suddenly had the feeling that there was no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth, and you know that when people reach such a point, when there is no way out, they naturally want to close their eyes and die. Don't you know, when I decided to die, my heart was as bright as opening a window! That kind of mood, not to mention that none of you can necessarily understand it at that time or now, except for Zhang Yuying, there is no one here who encounters the kind of thing that forces you; Even when I lived in Minister Han's house, I thought about it, when I decided to die, why was my heart so bright, now I understand, it is because I have a heart that does not want to live anymore and thinks that death is better than life, as the poem says, the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, the willows and flowers are bright and another village, my 'another village' is that I will die, on the other hand, I will die is my 'another village', once I die, everything has disappeared, and there is no longer a little trouble in my heart, you say how can I not be bright in my heart at that time?! But this bright hall is temporary, it is fleeting, when I came back to the dormitory from the street, you were still sleeping, the room was dark, I thought in the dark, these sleeping classmates will be happy to live one by one in the future, and I will die tomorrow, spontaneously have a feeling of being in a different world, thinking that I am no longer a person, but a ghost, a ghost, wandering in the dark room of the dormitory, Hazy to see your heads straight up and brush the black heads in a row, and even hear the gentle breathing of each classmate, I suddenly felt very lonely and desolate, my heart jumped suddenly, and a little crazy! I said to myself, aren't you a ghost?! It's a ghost, why are you still mad in front of people, what are you doing all of a sudden?! Thinking like this, hey! It's really weird, and I'm bold. As soon as he was bold, he began to arrange what happened after my death, so he wrote a suicide note first, leaving black and white letters, and the first thing was to state that my death had nothing to do with Zhang Yuying, and to take her out first. This is called death, and death is understood. As for Mr. Qiu and Secretary Sun, I said a real thing, they were very uneasy in my heart at that time, as the old saying goes, the bird is dying, and its sound is also sad; When a man is about to die, his words are good. At that time, I really had such a heart, I didn't hold grudges at all, similar to a person who ascended to heaven, I seemed very detached and calm. When I say this, you have to believe that what I am saying at this time is indeed what I said in my heart at that time. Not a lie at all, really! ……

"Do you really not hate them at all?" A girl asked.

"Don't hate. I didn't plan to die before hating, but I decided to die later. I don't hate it right away! ”

The classmates said, "This is really weird! ”

Dongfang Hong said: "What's strange then, you didn't think about it, didn't Xia Yuling say that people are about to die, and her words are also good?!" The ancients were right! Xia Yuling, go on! ”

"I also wrote that I had five yuan in hand, and begged Zhang Yuying to transfer it to my mother, no matter what, it was my daughter's heart! When I wrote this, my tears really fell down like broken threads! I shed tears as I packed my schoolbag and packed a few books, why did I take a schoolbag and a few books to go. Because I love to study, I have to carry my schoolbag to death, which proves that I am a middle school student; Then I put the note and five yuan in the language book...... After everything was cleaned up, I wanted to sleep in this women's dormitory one last time, although I wanted to sleep, but I couldn't sleep over and over, thinking about my mother, thinking about what my mother would do after I died, whether she could live, and how sad she would be. Think about how she came to my grave and cried me, I thought like this, guess what happened to me at this time?! I kind of regretted it, I didn't want to die. But when I think about it again, I was expelled from the Immortal School, and if I want to redeem myself, I have to admit my mistake. I hesitated a little and thought about it again. A young man, what's wrong with admitting his mistakes?! Let's be students. In the stage of learning knowledge in school, you can't always run all the way to the dark, let alone play tough with school leaders and teachers, you have to learn softly, which is definitely good for growing up and participating in work. But you admit that you are wrong, can Teacher Qiu and the school accept you again, I can't think about it! Because Secretary Sun's family is a cadre of land reform, he has always taken a firm position, and what he says is the water that is spilled, and he has always been golden-mouthed and jade-toothed, saying one or two, and he has shot several people, and expelling one or two students is not under his words, it is simply a piece of cake, and it is not okay to admit mistakes. Then he turned around and thought of going home, thinking of his stepfather with a big wine bag, and his face was burned, and there were big long hairs growing everywhere on his hands, legs and arms, especially the chest hair on the front heart was even more black and mushy, with teeth and claws, I was like a little hen in front of him, I couldn't be obedient, not to mention seeing him, even thinking of him, I had to scare my urine in the crotch of my pants. I decided that I couldn't go home if I died, and I still thought it was better to die. All in all, in short, all of the above are thrown aside, the main reason why I want to die is that my heart is higher than the sky, my life is thinner than paper, I don't accept my fate, I don't say it, I always want people to leave a name, and geese to leave a voice, that's it; On the other hand, if it is better to die than to live, Lu Thought would not want to die for a long time. As a result, I didn't look at it for the night, and I felt that it was almost dawn, so I picked up my schoolbag and went to the Taizi River ferry port wholeheartedly......

At this time, the girl who was in the same township as Xia Yuling said: "Xia Yuling! Let me ask you, when you were carrying your schoolbag and leaving, I just got up to go to No. 1, did you ask me if I would go home? ”

"Yes! But you don't know, I was afraid that I would die and show my feet in front of you, so I asked you that. ”

"Thanks to your question, after you left, I thought that it was not interesting to stay in this dormitory, so I went to pick you up, and when I got there, I found that your schoolbag was on the riverside, so that everyone later found out the truth about you......"

"I owe you a thank you for that. I also went on to say: just like that, I ran to the Taizi River in one breath, fixed my eyes on the empty ferry, listened to the surging river whimpering and roaring, and looked at the dark sky on the other side. I stood on the shore and thought how I was going to die. After thinking about it, I think that it is better to sit in the middle of the river where the water is deep and rapid, and when the time comes, while the old man is not paying attention, he will plunge into the water and finish his work immediately, which is better than walking into the water step by step from the shore to die, and he can not suffer zero crimes, and then it is good to have the old man in the ferry when he dies, and he can send you a letter or something afterwards.

Dongfang Hong said: "It's not easy to see a person die, not to die if you want to die, you really have to think about everything before and after death!" ”

"Didn't I say it, I'm going to die! After the matter was settled, I saw that the weather was still so dark and gurgling, and the old man on the ferryman had not come for a long time, so I realized that I had come out of the dormitory a little too early, so I decided to sit on the shore and think about what else I should do before I died, and fell asleep after thinking about it. ……

Zhang Yuying said: "What's so annoying about this?! If you don't close your eyes all night the night before, you must be sleepy when it's almost dawn, and it's normal to sleep; I did it once. That sleepy, you just can't open your eyes. That's infuriating! ”

Xia Yuling continued: "Yes! That's what I was sleepy about. As soon as I fell asleep, I felt myself in a circle of graves. There was a woman in her fifties, she was a very ordinary woman, she introduced herself and said that her family originally lived in Yakniutun and was Li Hu's daughter-in-law......

Dongfang Hong and Zhang Yuying shouted at the same time: "What?!" You repeat it! ”

"She said she was Li Hu's daughter-in-law!"

Zhang Yuying said: "This is strange! In my memory, I have never told you Xia Yuling about Li Hu's daughter-in-law, how can you dream of her?! Maybe you Dongfanghong talked about her when Xia Yuling talked about her before! Then he looked at Dongfang Hong.

"I didn't talk about Li Hu's daughter-in-law as Xia Yuling!"

"Yes! In fact, neither of you ever told me about this Li Hu's daughter-in-law, but I really dreamed of her; At the same time, I dreamed of a woman, who also belonged to you. She said she was the mother of the flower girl......"

"I said Xia Yuling, you dreamed of a self-letter, but you said that you dreamed of two dead women in our tun, isn't this a joke?!" Zhang Yuying said.

"When are we?! Am I kidding?! If you don't ask me first, I will ask you two if you have these two people! ”

Zhang Yuying said: "Yes, there must be, what should be going on, Li Hu's daughter-in-law let Li Hu hang himself in a hard way." The flower girl's mother sang before her death, and she looked good. ”

Dongfang Hong said: "Zhang Yuying, let's not squeak too much, let Xia Yuling go down." ”

Xia Yuling said: "When I saw them. The clothes they wore were quite pleasing to the eye, but there was no flesh on their faces, so what was it called? It's scary to call it a dead man's skeleton. But they said. They weren't skeletons, and they all said they had flesh on their faces. Li Hu's daughter-in-law also asked me to look at the face of the flower girl and said, you see that the flower girl and her mother are not red and white, and the difference is because of the yin and yang worlds, which is naturally different. But I saw that it was a dead man's skeleton, so I stopped arguing with her, and I asked them, "What do you mean by you two coming out to see me?" Li Hu's daughter-in-law said, I heard that you are going to die, so we came to see you, you can't die, it's better to live in the yang realm, I regretted it when I died. The flower girl said, yes! You're so young, you haven't enjoyed any blessings, and it's a good time from now on, so don't die. I asked them, who are you doing here with or alone? Li Hu's daughter-in-law said that the flower girl had been with her old man, and her old man had already come here; I'm still alone, I want to find one, the person in charge here said, that's not good, although it is the two worlds of yin and yang, but the distance is still the same as before, marry a chicken and a dog and marry a dog, let me wait, and when Li Hu comes to the netherworld, you two will still be a family. When she said this, I thought it was weird and funny, so I didn't squeak. I asked again, how do you know that I want to die? The two of them smiled and said, you don't understand, although it is the two worlds of yin and yang, but the ground and the ground also breathe each other. The more I listened, the more confused I became, and I said that there was not even a phone here. The flower girl's mother said that without a telephone, isn't there a rat hole in every house! ……

At this time, all the girls who listened were frightened and snuggled together, and one of them whispered that thanks to being with everyone, otherwise they would all be scared!

Zhang Yuying said: "No one is allowed to squeak! ”

Xia Yuling said: "Don't be afraid, I'll keep talking: when I heard Mother Hua say this, I thought to myself." Then I discussed with them, I said that I can't die if I don't die, and specifically explained my reasons: why didn't Mr. Qiu and Secretary Sun agree. The two of them said, that's easy to do, if you Secretary Sun doesn't agree, you immediately go to Liaoyang City to find Minister Han of the Ministry of Culture and Education, and she can help you solve it. Then they went back and swooped into the grave. I also woke up immediately, so frightened that I stood up and ran to the south, until I ran to the county road, there happened to be a big carriage, I thought, since they asked me to find Minister Han, why don't I try it, in case it works, isn't there another way to live! If I can't do it, I'll die again, it's just a day or two late! I got in the car and went to the city to find Minister Han, and when it was dawn, I was not so scared, and when I saw that my hands were empty, guess what happened to me - my schoolbag was thrown on the riverbank and I forgot to take it. ……

Dongfang Hong asked: "Xia Yuling, you will talk about it later, let me ask you, do you know that there is this Minister Han in the county?" ”

"I don't know. How would I know?! ”

Dongfanghong said: "This is a strange thing, you didn't know beforehand." But in the dream, Li Hu's daughter-in-law and Hua girl's mother can still tell her Minister Han, do you say that you are angry or not?! ”

"What's that off?! Didn't Li Hu's daughter-in-law say it? Ventilation above and below ground! Zhang Yuying said.

"Okay! Then Xia Yuling, you can talk about it next! ”

Xia Yuling continued: "If I talk about it again, I will go to the county committee, and as soon as I enter the communication room, I thought to myself, is there no such Minister Han?!" I just lay down in the small window and asked, uncle, is there a Minister Han? Uncle said very funny, this kid, you can call Minister Han, why do you ask if there is one?! It's on the second floor, the third room in the West! I was glad to hear it. He asked again, can she see me when I go up? Uncle said, this is not the old society, looking for an official and asking if he can see you, why can't she see you as a cadre in the new society? ! Go up there! I went up as the uncle said, and as soon as I pushed the door, there was a tall child, very much like a cadre, and I cried. She said don't cry, don't cry, if you have any grievances, just tell me about it. I talked about everything from beginning to end, and Minister Han listened very carefully, and she thought about it after listening. picked up the phone and asked for the principal's office of our No. 3 Middle School, Secretary Zibian Sun answered the phone, and Minister Han told her opinion. People say they are opinions, but in fact they are instructions. Secretary Sun: He has to do it. And just like that, our matter was settled. I'm done. ”

Zhang Yuying said thoughtfully: "Did you say anything about our details as Minister Han?" ”

"Didn't I say it. I've said everything, not only have I talked about those things, but I have also talked about the loss of my schoolbag, but I haven't talked about the details of the dream I had at the ferry, I'm afraid that Minister Han will say that I'm superstitious! ”

"Also, didn't you say that you would stay at Minister Han's house for a night? Tell me how you live. Dongfanghong reminded.

"Oh yes! Minister Han stayed with me for a night, she was afraid that something would happen to me again, and it wouldn't be good if something happened, so I stayed with her for a night. Minister Han treated me well and bought me a new schoolbag and a few new books, for fear that I would miss my study by not having a textbook during class......"

The fellow said, "I'll take your schoolbag back and hand it over to Secretary Sun!" ”

"Yes! I got it back. Minister Han also gave me steamed egg custard, and when she went to bed at night, she lived in the same room with Wei Shu of the county party committee, and I lived in the same room with her daughter. Minister Han was cute and worked, and she washed a lot of clothes that day, several pants of all kinds, and the kind of two-tile cover on the chest, she said that it was called a bra, I had never seen it, and she said that these things should be washed well as soon as they were buried. I said yes. Then she put all the laundry in the toilet, which made people laugh. Another time, I came out of the toilet and she went in. I said in a hurry, Minister Han, you also go to the toilet? Minister Han smiled and said, Am I not also a human being, not only do I go to the toilet, but I can't pull anything down when I pee on, I have to do everything I need to do! She is indeed like that, and on the day I was there, I saw her with my own eyes, and she was indispensable for everything! ”

A girl asked: "Secretary Wei of the county party committee, do you look at it?" ”

Xia Yuling said: "Not only did I see him, but I also listened to him and Minister Han chatting for a long time!" Because the two rooms of her house are very close to each other, she can listen to her speech, but sometimes she can't hear it clearly, and I can't understand some words! ”

Dongfang Hong smiled and asked, "What are they talking about?" ”

Minister Han said that no matter what problems Secretary Sun was facing, he would use the program of class struggle to set it in, and it was not right to set up all the grass and trees. Secretary Wei said that in fact, taking class struggle as the key link is only a minimum program, and it can only manage a historical period, or it can only manage a time; The great desires of men and women in the world are eternal, which directly involve the reproduction of human beings, the rejuvenation of the nation, and the lives of the common people, that is to say, we human beings, including foreigners, all regard the great desires of the world as the sky, and the class struggle as the key link also serves this heaven. In the same way, when we engage in production, grain harvesting, and cotton harvesting, we also serve the survival of mankind, and in the same way, we engage in culture and education to directly serve people's spiritual life, in other words, they also serve this day. Under the premise of abiding by certain ethics and morals, this heaven is free, and after being born, the mind cannot be suppressed in any way. I heard it really, really, but I really didn't quite understand. What about you? ”

Dongfang Hong shook his head and said, "I can understand a little bit!" ”

Everyone shook their heads...... (To be continued......)
