Growth Volume Chapter 27: The Pain of Returning Home
At dusk, Leng Mian sat alone on the eaves and tiles, he lowered his eyeliner, looked at the untouchable skyline, and was not afraid of the bleak cold wind blowing straight ahead, but he was a little worried, after the sunset, a darkness escaped into view, so that people have nowhere to hide, and people have nowhere to feel at ease.
Leng Mian held his chin with his hand and sighed: "Hey, I really want to be with my friend, I'm so bored alone, I don't know, how can those lonely guys adapt." ”
When he said that, he was about to jump off the eaves and go back, but as soon as he stretched out his feet, he quickly took it back and said casually: "No, I can't go back like this, it's shameless, no matter what, I want them to invite me." ”
Not long after he finished saying this, he saw a person shouting Leng Mian's name, and Leng Mian listened carefully and realized that it was Youzi, so he shouted happily: "It's Youzi!"
He was in a hurry, so he ran towards his friend, and after finding the sound, the two met.
Youzi grabbed Leng Noodle's hand and said with a smile: "Leng Noodle, why do you have to run so far, I've been looking for you for a day." ”
"Hey, it's not angry yet. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about it, it's not too early, why don't you go back. ”
"Alas, wait. ”
"What's wrong?"
"If I run out like this, when I go back, the teacher won't punish me. ”
"Who told you that it's time to go back to school. ”
Leng Mian scratched his head and said, "That's?"
"Go home. ”
"Why? Teacher, he doesn't want us. ”
"Where do you want to go, after you left, the teacher gave the classmates a holiday, and then said that they were going to class the day after tomorrow, so they were going home today. ”
"Ahh ”
"He blames you for what you did, but he seems to have told me to tell you that there can't be a next time. ”
"Oh, of course, after all, I'd rather be with you, Tomoko. ”
"Leng Mian, you big boy, it's scary to say this. When Tomoko said, she immediately kept a certain distance from the cold noodles.
"It's not what you think, hey, forget it, let's go. He walked a few steps and then stopped, "When I go home this time, I really don't know how to face my mother." ”
"It's okay, just explain it to your mother honestly. ”
"Hmph, to put it mildly, you think I'm you, with solar power. Leng Mian mentioned the power of the sun, his eyes lit up, and his curiosity came again, "By the way, Tomoko, you are making your palm thunder show me." ”
"It's not good. ”
"There's nothing bad, I'll just take a look, can't I just look at it?"
"This-"
"Although the solar power is a rare thing, you can walk wider and farther, not this and that, people all over the street have it, then, since you will see it in the future, you will see it now, and you will be very tired to see it in the future, so it is better to show it to me now. ”
Tomoko let out a long sigh and said, "Okay. ”
He spread out his palm and carefully gathered a green thunderbolt in the palm of his hand, this lightning arc was small, light green in color, and appeared in the air flashing one after another.
"How powerful is your thunder?"
"I haven't tried. ”
"Then why don't you try? ”
"How do you try that?"
"Since it's used against people, let's try it with people, and then I'll touch it. ”
"No, it will hurt you. ”
"Youzi, such a small thunder, what are you afraid of, I don't believe that it can electrocute me. As soon as Leng Mian said proudly, his hand had already touched the thunder and lightning, and at this moment, Leng Mian's whole body was full of electric light, and his body kept trembling, and his mouth began to spit out vague words due to the continuous impact of his upper and lower lips, and then, Leng Mian fell to the ground and did not move, only to see his face sluggish, his hair standing up a little smoking, and his trembling lips were chanting: "Electrocuted me, electrocuted me." ”
"Cold noodles, it's okay. When he lifted the cold noodles up, he said, "Look, I told you not to try, you have to try." ”
"Hey, it's just that it hurts enough that I crave this kind of power even more. Leng Mian took a few breaths, "By the way, Tomoko, can you give me some of this solar power?"
"You stupid, where can you divide this. ”
"Can't you divide it? That's boring. Leng Mian shook his head and sighed, "Hey, in this case, I can only pray that God will polish his eyes, look at me, and give me a piece of solar power." ”
Tomoko couldn't help but smile at this time, and then said: "Leng Mian, don't waste your efforts, if Sun Spring gives people solar power, it must be a new life, and Leng Mian you are already fifteen years old." ”
"What!" exclaimed Leng Mian, judging from the strength of his voice, he was obviously a little angry, but quickly, he was relieved again, and then sighed, "Hey, I really don't know how this god is completely blind, and my good living person can't see it?"
After saying this, he couldn't help but point to the sky and curse twice.
Not long afterward, Tomoko called Leng Mian and left, and after two quarters of an hour, they returned to the west of the city, and then they each went back to their respective homes.
In the house, Leng Mian knelt on the ground, his mother was picking up a bamboo stick and was pumping him, only to see Leng Mian's back, and reproduced the bloody scene before.
His mother scolded while beating: "You thing, red gas, red gas, this is the end of your usual hard work." ”
The two bamboo sticks hit down again, and blood splattered out.
"If you don't fight, what are you doing, what are you eating, our family still expects you to be a fart, waste!"
After the two bamboo strips went down, the mother seemed to be tired, she sat down slowly, then picked up the water on the table and drank it, then put the cup on the table, and pointed to the cold noodles again: "Cold noodles, I found that I can't expect too much from you, you look at you now, so bad, that is also bad, it really disappoints me more and more, you said that you have learned so many boxing techniques, are they all learned in vain, tell you, pigs are better than you." ”
"Mother, I'm sorry, it's me who is bad. ”
"Leng Mian, my mother can tell you now, a family like you has no power and no power, and the only thing you can rely on is you seedlings who may become war candidates, and you have to rely on you to honor your ancestors. ”
"Yes, mother, I will definitely work hard to become a war candidate, and when the time comes, I will definitely let my mother and you enjoy happiness. ”
As soon as my mother heard this, her heart softened, and then she threw away the bamboo strip in her hand, and then picked up the cold noodles and said kindly: "If you say this, my mother will be happy, although the qualifications you show are unlikely to become a war candidate, but at least you have the qualifications for the war waiting exam, and you are willing to work hard, so you can still try." ”
"But mother, what are you doing in battle?"
"You don't care what it does, as long as you can help me wear gold and silver, and have fame, you can do anything!" said the mother, because the dream she had imagined was too beautiful, and she couldn't help but smile.
"That's right. ”
"Leng Mian, do you remember when your father died, just because he was a beggar who had no money, so when he died, there were not so many relatives and friends who came to the house, you say, how sad this is. ”
Leng Mian heard this, bowed his head and was silent for a long time.
