Everything went smoothly.

But as the explosion sounds, sharp rocks hit Koshifumi's eyes.

Everything has changed.

We chose a clearing at the top of the hill, not big or small, and that clearing was an extended platform, and about three meters below was the lake that we had been playing, and we used to race in this clearing to see who could throw the stones far. There's no better place to build a stone god than here.

We found a lot of stones from the lake and under the trees, and carried them up to the open space piece by piece, and the process of carrying the stones alone took more than two hours, and we looked at the stones of different shapes and thought about how to build them.

For those of us who are elementary school students, we naturally don't know what physical methods are, so we can only try them over and over again, leaving the middle blank first. After piling up the stones, putting the big ones underneath, and then putting them on top piece by piece, they failed again and again, and they collapsed again and again.

Every time we climbed a little higher, as soon as the stone god collapsed, some of the broken stones would roll off and fall into the lake, and we would have to go down to find new stones.

It wasn't until 10 p.m. that we got the main part in place. There was a deliberate opening in the base of the main body, and we carefully slipped the strangely shaped light tube into it. That's it. As long as you come here tomorrow, water the stones, activate the lamps, and the stone god will be given life.

After a short period of excitement, we dragged our tired bodies home, and when we got home, it was already past 23 o'clock, and I was reprimanded by my mother.

I didn't sleep very well that night, and my nerves were stimulated by a bad mood and a disturbed mood.

The next day, I got out of bed early in the morning. After washing, I didn't even eat breakfast, so I ran downstairs to Lianwen's house, and half an hour later, Lianwen came down from upstairs and saw that I was waiting for her, showing a surprised look, and after a while, Qiao Mu also appeared. The three of us headed for the top of the mountain.

Qiao Mu concealed the existence of the stone god from Lianwen, but he mysteriously sold Guanzi along the way, and I was silent all the time. Lianwen was puzzled, but there was anticipation in his tone, and the atmosphere was good.

Soon we came to the lake, and the arbor took the first step up to the high platform, and then called us from above. Lianwen and I walked onto the high platform.

"Wow! Isn't this a stone god? Do you do it? ”

Seeing such a shoddy "hero", Lianwen showed a look of amazement, his eyes sparkled, and his bright eyes were clearer than the water of the mountain lake under the sunlight. My eyes couldn't help but be drawn to him, so much so that I didn't notice—

"Look, what's next!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Qiao Mu had already poured the mineral water he had brought on the stones.

Zizi Zizi Zizi Zizi -

In less than five seconds, the stone god's whole body began to smoke, and I realized that something was wrong, and reached out to protect Lianwen, the moment my hand was stretched out.

Bang!

There was a loud bang, thick smoke rose everywhere, and the stones were torn apart by the impact, and I was about to take a step when the big stone hit my leg, and I fell to the ground, and when I raised my head again, I could no longer see Lianwen's figure.

"Lianwen?!"

I shouted loudly, constantly trying to remove the smoke from my eyes.

Boom!

At this moment, the sound of falling water came, and this sound did not resemble the sound of stones falling into the water.

The sharp pain in my leg made it impossible for me to stand, and I half-crawled and half-ran to the edge of the platform. Looking at the lake, I can't see Lianwen. I turned my head to look at Qiao Mu, who was sitting next to him, his hands and head were injured, and his whole body was completely distracted and trembling.

……

What to do? I gritted my teeth and stood up desperately, thinking that this place was only a few meters away from the lake.

That being the case—

Syllable!

The wind blew off the branches, and the branches slapped against my face with the wind, pulling me back from my memories.

Before I knew it, I had walked to the lake that I once was.

Wake up the watch, it's now past 23:30, so to speak, on the eve of the early hours of the morning.

In an empty world, it is not normal to be alone on a windy mountainside at night, and the environment and atmosphere here make people feel the urge to commit suicide.

This was not a good thing, I continued to walk along the path, and after ten minutes, I found the temple of the "Jade Emperor".

After all, there are buildings here, and hiding in them can mitigate the effects of high winds. I clutched my body, steadied my pace, and approached the temple step by step.

"Hoo ......"

When it finally arrived, I sat down against the wall, gasping for breath and taking a deep breath. The bag I carried with me was full of water, but I wasn't very thirsty right now.

I stood up, faced the "Jade Emperor", and found on the ground the incense candles left by my predecessors, which were still brand new, and even the wrapping paper had not been opened.

I picked it up, unpacked it, lit it with a candle that was still burning, stuck it in front of the jar, and bowed deeply.

There are still burning incense candles, indicating that people come here from time to time, although I don't know who it is, but this temple was originally built by the aborigines of this neighborhood, and it is not surprising that they will come here to worship.

I bowed deeply again and made my wish.

Then I found a notebook on the platform in the temple, it was not the first time I had seen this notebook, I was looking at it seven years ago when I first met Lianwen here. It is a thick notepad made of parchment with a dark yellow inner page. I don't know how many years I've been here. At that time, it was in the middle of this notebook that I saw the four cursive yellow characters of "Be kind to others", and I decided to help the helpless girl in front of me.

I flipped through the notebook again, and unexpectedly, it didn't have much dust.

The main content of the notebook is to record the donation to the donation. There were a lot of unfamiliar names written on them, and behind them were recorded amounts ranging from 100 to 1,000, which seemed to be their donations to the temple, the first record was undated, and the most recent record was half a year ago.

In addition to the records of the donations, some of the notebook's page numbers also have idioms written in the iconic yellow, or some short sentences.

This yellow is not the bright yellow, but a slightly faint yellow, which is very recognizable.

I flipped to the nearest one.

What I could see on the paper was still the familiar cursive script, with eight large characters written in yellow ink.

"Ancient and modern are the same, and Shi Chi does not take away"

I closed my lips and my eyes clutched at the eight words, and it wasn't until two minutes later that I put my notebook down and sat limply against the wall.

What have I changed from before to now?

Nothing has changed, and it is because nothing has changed that I can maintain myself.

I firmly believe that my path is the right one, and it is because I have not changed that I am who I am now.

Now in the outside world, I must have undergone some changes.

Even though he and I were exactly the same, something must have changed.

It is precisely because I have not changed that I have decided to solve the current problem in the same way as before. This is not the old and not new, but the solution that the person "Ren Qinghe" has always had. It comes from his heart, and it will do it if he says it, and it can only do it. This is the approach that "Renqinghe" will definitely choose.

The thoughts in my head about the current situation all point to the same path.

That's the same as in ancient times.

Everything is so "normal".

[The most terrible thing about things is not that they can't be solved, but that they never happened.] 】

Countless pots of chicken soup, countless psychology books ask readers to control their emotions. I can't even wait to pop out of the book and give advice to everyone who is emotionally abnormal. There is nothing wrong with this, but it is easy to be interpreted one-sidedly. No matter what happens, keep yourself "self" and keep yourself in the eyes of others, otherwise you are an abnormal state that needs to be changed.

It is a kind of cheap strength, and like a cheap sense of justice, it is something that is originally based on the "goodness" of human nature, and it has been misinterpreted into bondage.

Sixth grade of elementary school, [more than a week after the incident. In the morning, I opened the door to the classroom and found Lianwen sitting in her seat, her left eye completely bandaged, and her face, hands, and feet were bandaged. Last week, I visited her in the hospital and was told that she was undergoing surgery and that she was recovering quickly after the surgery, and that she insisted on coming to class, so I made an exception and discharged her from the hospital.

However, the damage to her left eye was irreversible.

Naturally, she was also told about this by the doctor, but she didn't say anything.

Qiao Mu and I witnessed this stunned scene.

[Soon we also learned that the irreversible injury to her left eye made her wish to become an internist forever become a dream. 】

When she heard the news, although she didn't say anything, her right eye turned from dazzling to dull.

Her dreams were so simply shattered. All her efforts seemed so pale and powerless.

However, she didn't say anything. She didn't scold us, she didn't complain to anyone, and she would never talk about having such a dream again. It's as if nothing happened.

A few days after the operation, the head teacher came to visit her, and I was in the hospital at the time.

Lianwen squeezed out a smile to greet her, and it was no longer clear who was visiting whom. The head teacher of the primary school is a young woman who looks very gentle, and at the same time is our head teacher, with waist-length black hair, red-framed eyes, always with a smile on her face, familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and knows the teacher's way and righteousness. After she learned about Lianwen's situation, she did not come to the hospital to visit. While taking pictures, he vigorously praised Lianwen for being strong.

A few days later, the police came. Due to the testimony of Qiao Mu and me, the police characterized the incident as an accident, but still initiated the accountability procedure to hold the luminous lamp manufacturer accountable. Soon, the local newspaper in Chisugi City also reported on the incident. Everything seems to have become the fault of the manufacturer, his product is an "inferior product", which caused a condemnation on the Internet, and this lamp that glows in water is taken off the shelves. Soon lost its popularity and popularity, and the online protest army, which had been righteous and righteous, gradually forgot about the incident. Two weeks later, a huge fire broke out in the city next door to Qianshan City, [Minato City], and those Internet bloggers were attracted to the new hot spot. The bombing gradually subsided.

There are so many events that catch the eye that as soon as something bigger happens, the original thing will be covered up, and people's cheap sense of justice will be pulled back and forth by these hot spots.

The fire, which broke out in a 15-storey home, killed more than 20 people. What's even more terrifying is that after investigation, the police found that the fire was likely caused by man, and there was some degree of connection with many previous arson cases.

Seven years later, this case is still unsolved.

Everything seems so "ordinary".

After the bombing, Lianwen was discharged from the hospital and returned to school, where she was warmly welcomed by her teachers and classmates, and the classmates also held a welcome party for her, which was as lively as the party. Although he was in another class, Qiao Mu, who was awarded the "Righteousness and Courage" commendation for rescuing the love essay who fell into the water, also participated in the welcome party. The teacher also wrote the incident into his student file, following him throughout his student years and becoming a role model for the whole school to follow.

Everything seemed so normal, like a new era after the war.

The change of each dynasty in China is mostly accompanied by the sea of blood, and most of the new monarchs choose to recuperate until the traces of blood red are covered by new flowers. It took 64 years for Emperor Gaozu of Han, Emperor Hui, Emperor Wen, and Emperor Jing, 20 years for Emperor Wen of Sui, and more than 60 years for Emperor Taizong of Tang and his successors.

One month after the incident, our school organized a spring outing to a forest park on the outskirts of Qianshan City.

Naturally, I went, but I'm not the type of person who likes spring outings. Because I rarely do anything other than spend money on snacks to eat there.

This year is a bit strange, the week before the spring outing, the teacher asked us to divide into groups. As soon as I heard about the grouping, I estimated what boring puzzle activities to do.

"I heard there's a playground there!"

My classmate, who is also a member of a group of spring outings, said excitedly.

There are a total of six people in our group: I, Lianwen, Yanzheng, Mianxue, Mozhu, and Wind Chimes. It happens to be three girls, Lianwen, Mianxue, and Wind Chimes, and there are three boys left.

The team leader is naturally Bian Mianxue, who has a sense of justice and is strong, she knows Lianwen's situation, so she takes care of Lianwen very much.

It's better to say that everyone is taking care of Lianwen now. Just like when getting along with special people, people will always deliberately pay attention to and let him.

But not everyone is happy to do so.

Because of the help of the class teacher, Lianwen was exempted from the mid-term exam, physical education exam, and the language conduct score was directly assessed as A. Because of the privileges that come with "injury" and "broken dreams". gradually pricked the nerves of some students.

The members of our group, Zhang Zi, a member of the study committee, may be the students who are most unaccustomed to this kind of "privilege".

They maintain self-righteousness, from the moment Lianwen entered school, from the moment they knew that Lianwen's mother "concealed her illness" and got married, they often ridiculed and slandered Lianwen. After this incident, they took care of Lianwen on the surface, and I also heard about their dissatisfaction with her privileges secretly.

But Lianwen doesn't seem to care. She still acted like nothing had happened. She didn't change anything other than never reading books about medicine again.

Now that he is in a group with Yanzheng, I am a little worried.

But at least the atmosphere in the group was superficially cheerful.

"What should I do tomorrow's event?"

"Huh? There is a level breaking event, didn't it turn out that it was an amusement park? ”

Hearing Mianxue talk about the breakthrough activity, Mo Zhu showed a shocked expression. Well, it's not surprising, otherwise what would we do in groups.

I listened to the rules in silence, peeking at Lianwen, and she was also listening attentively to Mianxue's speech, nodding in agreement from time to time.

“……”

"Three boys, who were responsible for lifting the three of us up when we climbed."

"Huh?! But you're taller than me! ”

In primary school, girls usually develop faster than boys. Mianxue and wind chimes are taller than me and Mozhu. Especially Mianxue, Mozhu and I need to hold our heads up to talk to her.

"Na Qinghe and Mozhu are responsible for carrying the snow, and I am alone to carry the love text and wind chimes."

Yan Zheng proposed, the reason why he dared to say this was because he was tall, and it was indeed easy to lift two girls. And taking the initiative to take responsibility is still very admirable.

"Ah, group six, wait a minute......"

While we were discussing, the head teacher suddenly interjected.

"You don't have to participate. It's good to watch and rest. ”

The head teacher said softly to Lianwen. At this time, Lianwen showed a look of embarrassment.

"Ah...... Teacher, I don't need to, I actually ......."

Love Wen tries to justify.

"No need, no need, Lianwen still looks at it carefully, you are the teacher's most precious student."

“……”

Speaking of which, Lianwen could only nod.

I watched from the sidelines, and at this time, the ugly face was in addition to the love text, which was correct.

Yan Zheng touched his hedgehog head irritably, then turned his body to the side.

"What a cunning!"

I vaguely heard those three words, hoping I misheard.
