While they're in a fierce game, let's talk about the four demons.

A person who is so normal that he can't be normal anymore passes by you, and you are distracted to think, what is the story of this person, what has he experienced?

Maybe a lot of people will shake their heads, who cares about something that has nothing to do with them.

But Tao Jie would.

His mind is actually very delicate, so delicate that it is not the same as children of the same age. When other children are yelling in the community, pinching the branches they have picked up, and playing a game of tribal struggle; The four demons stood on the balcony, looking at them worriedly.

"Do you want to play too?" The mother on the side squatted down, she touched Xiao Taojie's head, "Let's go play, but remember to come back before dinner." ”

Tao Jie shook his head, he didn't want to play.

"Why do they fight, how dangerous it is!" His immature voice was full of confusion and worry.

"They're not fighting, they're just playing, and no one is really going to hurt each other." The mother patiently explained to Tao Jie, "You see them, they are just holding a stick, no one is really waving it, and everyone's expressions are happy, aren't they?" ”

Little Tao Jie couldn't understand that, in his opinion, those children holding sticks were a kind of violence, and they were just venting their atrocities through the so-called "game".

He nodded, gave one last cramped look at the group of children, and then took his mother's hand and left the balcony.

He didn't play with the group of children, because after that, those children really shook their fists at each other as the four demons feared, and finally broke up unhappily. On weekdays, the disturbing noise in the community has also subsided, and occasionally there will be pet dogs barking, which proves that this community has not reached a boring situation.

pets, Tao Jie also raised, and it was during that boring time that he had his first pet. When his mother came home from work with a small cage, his attention was all captivated.

In the cage, there was a snow-white rabbit with a twitching mouth and curious eyes looking around like a blood-red gem.

"Wow! It's a bunny! Tao Jie jumped up happily, he pestered his mother, and kept asking, "Is this for me?" ”

"Yes, you're going to have to treat it well in the future." The mother handed the handle of the cage to Xiao Taojie.

When she saw Tao Jie's smiling face, she felt better.

She and her husband are very busy with work, and when Tao Jie was only one year old, she returned to her post, and quarreled with her mother-in-law for this; She didn't want to be that kind of housewife, so she gradually became isolated from society because of her children and family, and finally became disconnected.

It's not that she doesn't love the family, she does, but it's precisely because of this that she wants to work. She doesn't want to be a burden to her husband, she doesn't want to be a parasite of the family, to become a housewife who doesn't understand anything, is outdated, nagging.

Although her mother-in-law was very angry, she loved Sun very much and took over the responsibility of taking care of Tao Jie as a matter of course.

Tao Jie grew up slowly, his body was also very healthy, and he also showed the talent of early wisdom.

His talent for language and writing was particularly remarkable; By the age of three, he could already read newspaper tirades fluently, write decently, and even memorize the English alphabet. The kindergarten teacher was also surprised.

"Old man, your grandson is a genius, and some of the children his age don't know even the simplest words, and he even knows the English alphabet."

Grandma was naturally very happy, but after seeing Tao Jie's whispering, she was scared.

Xiao Taojie stood on the balcony and looked into the distance; He was motionless, and his mouth was always full of words, as if he were talking to someone else.

Speaking of excitement, Tao Jie would also wave his arms, "I didn't think about it like that!" ”

"No, you have, you'll do that!" He suddenly calmed down, not knowing if he was saying this to the void or to himself.

The next second, "No, I didn't!" ”

He began to be hysterical again.

This strange process lasted for dozens of seconds before Tao Jie stopped. With a melancholy face, he threw himself on the bed and stuffed his head into the pillow in a sullen state.

Grandma walked away quietly, she felt that Tao Jie was a ghost.

In the evening, after eating, Grandma called Tao Jie's mother aside, "Applejack seems to be a little abnormal, I always see him talking to the air, is it a ghost?" ”

Grandma had a bitter face and was very uneasy.

"It's okay, Mom, I'll take him to the children's hospital to have a look, don't worry too much." Tao Jie's mother comforted her mother-in-law and carried her back to the living room.

That night, she told her husband about it.

"Is he too lonely? Or is it a split personality? Tao Jie's father closed the book, and he frowned, "I'll take some time to visit their kindergarten this week to ask him how he's doing." ”

After the two lay down, they couldn't sleep for a long time. They have been working, but they have always neglected to accompany Tao Jie, but now they want to make up for it, it may be too late.

When my mother went to work, she was still thinking about this matter, but she didn't pay attention to it, touched the cup in her hand, and spilled water on the table.

"Are you alright, Xiao Liu?" A colleague on the side hurriedly handed over a towel, "How do you look at your absent-minded appearance." ”

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." She took the towel and pretended to be relaxed, "The water cup was too far in just now." ”

"That's okay," the colleague stroked his chest, "If you have anything on your mind, just tell your sister, don't hide it." ”

"Eh, thank you!" The mother nodded slightly, she thought about it for a while, and then forgot it.

After wiping the table, she opened the browser,

"How to keep your children from being alone."

A large amount of information immediately appeared on the page, starting with one that read, "Give your child a pet so he is not alone and will become more loving." ”

Do you have pets? Tao Jie's mother thought in her heart, what should she raise Tao Jie?

He's not an active kid, and puppies may not be a good fit for him.

Kittens? That's a bit out of his mind too, and the husband doesn't seem to like cats very much.

Rabbits?

Rabbit's words...

So be it, buy him a rabbit!

Tao Jie opened the cage, it looked around, and then jumped out of the cage; He stroked the little creature that was as white as snow and soft, and through the fine hair, he could feel its temperature and its vitality, how beautiful! It's like stroking white clouds!

He held it in his arms and rubbed his face against him, its forefoot resting on Tao Jie's hand, and also put its face close to Tao Jie.

Tao Jie hugged it, suddenly twitched his shoulders, tears sliding down his face.

The rabbit craned its neck and licked Tao Jie's tears, tickling his face.

He didn't know if his tears were flowing because he was happy or sad.

He became so active that every afternoon after kindergarten he would run home with a gust of wind, then open the cage, hold it, and play with it in the yard. The rabbit was jumping in the grass, and sometimes he would look at Tao Jie to see if he could follow.

Tao Jie was also running on the grass, and his happiness was satisfied on this small lawn.

Two years later, the rabbit died.

That morning, Tao Jie still took the water and grass and put it at the door of the rabbit cage, but the rabbit did not run over as usual, it curled up to the side, motionless.

Tao Jie thought it was asleep, so he touched it gently.

The rabbit doesn't react, its heart doesn't beat anymore, its body doesn't live anymore, it's dead.

Tao Jie dug a small pit downstairs and buried it inside.

It was the first time he felt the loss of his life, and when he buried the last scrap of soil, his tears could not stop remaining.

However, there is no longer a little creature who will innocently lick away his tears.

He was always in a daze, looking at the distance for a long time, and his babbling became more and more, and his mother was really worried, so she took him to the children's hospital.

He had never been to the hospital, but the white walls, dark floors, and endless corridors brought him inexplicable fear, and he was afraid of this place, instinctively afraid.

But the uncle, who was in the white coat, looked very nice, and he gave himself a candy, and then took his temperature, and asked many questions, without sharp needles and bitter medicine.

"Doctor, my child is..."After Tao Jie was taken away by the nurse, the mother anxiously asked the doctor.

"The child's condition is very rare, he should have mild Asperger's syndrome, which is somewhat similar to mild autism, but his IQ and his language ability do not match; This child is very intelligent, but has autistic tendencies. ”

The doctor also rubbed his head, "It stands to reason that the language ability of a child with mild autism is relatively weak, and his IQ is also relatively defective, but our child's language ability is quite good, but he is withdrawn in personality, has social difficulties, develops slowly, and also repeats stereotypical behaviors, such a condition is still very optimistic, and there is a possibility of improvement." My suggestion is that parents can spend more time with him in the future, or let him have more contact with his peers, and there may be discomfort at first, as you said, there are no friends in kindergarten, and he will be resistant at first, but guide him more and let him realize that such behavior is good. ”

"Doctor, can this autistic tendency be cured?"

"Generally speaking, autism cannot be cured, but it can be overcome, and our children are not autistic, just predisposed; But you must not let your guard down and be sure to pay more attention to his daily activities. ”

"Okay, okay, thank you, doctor!" The mother breathed a sigh of relief, and her hanging heart finally let go.

After leaving the hospital, her mother was unexpectedly generous, she took Tao Jie to eat KFC first, then to the amusement park, and bought him new clothes.

But he was not happy, his eyes were still staring blankly ahead, and in his eyes were sadness disproportionate to his age.

"Tao Jie, you talk to your mother, you call your mother, okay?" The mother hugged Tao Jie's shoulder, and she couldn't see the focus of Tao Jie's eyes.

"Tao Jie, don't scare your mother, you speak, okay?"

Tao Jie didn't want to speak, he just didn't want to talk.

He didn't know what to say, he just felt that in front of his mother's shoulder, there was someone waiting for him.

It was a thin figure, with neatly combed hair, wearing a slightly larger T-shirt, with his hands clenched into fists, standing there as if he was going against the world.

"Hey, who are you?"

Tao Jie shouted to the figure, and the thin man turned around with a crazy smile of disdain.

"It's you!" He almost screamed in surprise.

"Yes,

It's me

It's you, too. ”
