Chapter 2 The Long Night Will Dawn

When Gao Huan woke up with his forehead, a glimmer of light appeared in the sky, the white fog in the courtyard was thick, and all the scenery in the line of sight could only be vaguely seen as an outline.

To die, to die, to die...... My head! It hurts!

That was his first thought.

Gao Huan tried to think about it, and he could vaguely remember that he made a wish towards the meteor, and then the meteor flew towards him and hit him directly on the door of his head.

He doesn't remember anything after that.

Touching his forehead, Gao Huan only touched a piece of smooth and smooth skin.

He was stunned at first, suspecting that the scene he had seen last night was just his hallucination.

After all, if he was really hit in the head by a meteor, it would be impossible for his head to be preserved intact from any angle.

"It seems that I'm really tired, I'm already hallucinating." Gao Huan shook his head and said.

As he spoke, he stood up and stretched.

It stands to reason that if you lie on a hard and cold roof overnight, you should wake up with sore joints the next day.

But instead of feeling the slightest soreness, Gao Huan felt that his whole body was comfortable, and his body seemed to have inexhaustible strength.

Suppressing the urge to let out his energy with a loud roar, he quietly descended the ladder back to the ground.

Looking at the clock in the house through the window, it was not even six o'clock at this time, the children and the old dean were still asleep, and Uncle Zhao, who was watching the door, was still in a state of half-asleep and half-awake.

Gao Huan walked lightly to the backyard, and first practiced alone in the morning according to the set of military physical boxing that Uncle Zhao had taught him before.

In the mist, the young man's long figure suddenly became as light as a swallow, and sometimes as powerful as a tiger.

This set of military physical boxing is mainly to strengthen the body, and it does not have much practical significance, and the moves are not unusual.

But if someone is watching Gao Huan's boxing at this moment, they will definitely be amazed that this young man can give such a mediocre boxing technique a majestic feeling.

After a round of military body punching, Gao Huan felt that the restless power in his body had calmed down slightly, so he let out a sigh of relief.

Estimating that there was still half an hour before the children should get up, Gao Huan picked up a few cabbages in the vegetable garden, pinched a little green onion, and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook some noodles for everyone to make breakfast.

As a result, when I just walked to the kitchen door, I met Aunt Zhang who was carrying a basket of eggs.

Aunt Zhang's eyes were not very good, and the fog did not disperse, and when she walked to the front, she saw Gao Huan who was opening the kitchen door, and she couldn't help but be startled.

"Oh, I said you unlucky boy, why don't you walk silently, but you're scared to death." Aunt Zhang caressed her heart with one hand and held the basket in the other, and said in a low voice.

After speaking, he also slapped Gao Huan's body hard.

Gao Huan smiled a little embarrassedly, grabbed his hair, and said, "Aunt Zhang came really early today, hard work, hard work." ”

Aunt Zhang glanced at Gao Huan, raised the basket in her hand, and said, "The thief chicken woman raised at home laid a few eggs this morning, and I didn't bother to sell them at the morning market, so I brought them over and opened meat for a few of your stupid dolls." ”

Gao Huan took advantage of Aunt Zhang's words to glance at the basket, and saw half a basket of green shell eggs, about a dozen, if they were sold in the market, they could be sold for at least thirty yuan.

"Aunt Zhang, we can't eat so much, you better take some and sell them. Originally, the salary given to you was not high, and you still stuck to us like this, how embarrassed is this! Gao Huan said sincerely.

He had been to Aunt Zhang's house and knew that Aunt Zhang had a total of three chickens, one of which was a rooster. These dozen or so eggs have obviously been saved for a while, and they were not laid this morning as Aunt Zhang said.

Aunt Zhang raised her eyebrows, directly pulled Gao Huan to the side, and squeezed into the kitchen.

"Hey, you little bunny! I think you're pretty clever on weekdays! Why is he so disgusted for talking today! Aunt Zhang rolled up her sleeves and said.

She put the basket in her hand on the kitchen table, and said angrily: "You little dolls, I haven't seen anyone wearing open crotch pants." In my aunt's eyes, you are no different from my own child! Isn't it just a few eggs, let you eat it, and say these words plainly, which makes people feel raw! ”

Aunt Zhang was originally feigned anger, but when it came to emotion, she was really angry. She looked at Gao Huan, and her eyes were misty.

Gao Huan didn't expect Aunt Zhang to be really angry, and was about to say something to appease, but saw Aunt Zhang wave her hand and ask him to swallow back the language that had been organized.

"Xiao Huan, my aunt knows that you are having a hard time. My aunt doesn't have any skills, and she can't say pretty things, so this is the only thing she can handle. Aunt Zhang's tone had softened at this time, and she continued.

"I always have to give it to others, and if someone else eats it, no matter how great it is, it will be a loud fart. But if I give it to you children, I will always feel more comfortable in my heart. ”

Aunt Zhang wiped her eyes, reached out and snatched the handful of shallots from Gao Huan's hand, put it under the faucet and washed it briefly, and skillfully cut it into fine pieces.

Gao Huan looked at Aunt Zhang's figure, this peasant woman with a fat body made his heart warm from the bottom of his heart.

He silently walked to the edge of the pool and soaked the fresh cabbage he had just pinched in the morning into the pool, intending to help Aunt Zhang wash the vegetables.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got closer, he saw Aunt Zhang's nose shrugging, and immediately frowned and shouted at him: "Emma, Xiao Huan, what kind of smell does this smell on you!" Did you roll in the mud in the morning? ”

"Huh?" Gao Huan took a step back, raised his sleeve and sniffed.

It was fine when I was standing outside, but when I entered the house, a refreshing smell of sweat mixed with the smell of stinky garlic and dead fish went straight into the nostrils.

Even Gao Huan himself quickly pinched his nose after smelling this smell, revealing an expression of "indescribable".

I only took a shower last night, so where did this smell come from!

Gao Huan didn't have time to defend himself, so he was kicked out of the kitchen directly by Aunt Zhang, who took the back collar and ordered him to take a bath before coming for breakfast.

Watching the kitchen door squeak shut in front of him, Gao Huan touched his forehead for a while, unconsciously remembering the meteor last night.

Could it be that the meteor was not actually a hallucination, but actually hit the door of his head, but for some unknown reason it did not cause external injuries?

So I lay on the roof all night without getting cold, and when I woke up in the morning, I felt full of energy, and I sweated profusely unconsciously...... Are these situations caused by meteors?

With doubts, Gao Huan grabbed a handful of his hair.

The boy's half-length hair grew firmly on his scalp and did not fall out because of his grasping.

"There's no sign of hair loss, so it's not going to get stronger for a while, is it?" He looked at his palms and muttered to himself in an unusually serious manner.

With that, he smiled with self-deprecation again, put these unrealistic fantasies behind him, and walked lightly towards the dormitory.

Just simply packed a few changes of clothes, Gao Huan went straight into the bathroom.

By the time he came out of the shower, the other children had already gotten up. They folded the quilt, washed their faces and brushed their teeth, and waited for him neatly in the dining room.

Aunt Zhang fished out the clear soup noodles in the big pot, and each bowl of noodles was neatly covered with a piece of golden shallots and egg cakes, with a bright color, which made people move their index fingers when they saw it.

These children hadn't eaten eggs for a long time, and as soon as Gao Huan sat down, they "sucked" and ate the noodles in their respective bowls.

After breakfast, Gao Huan helped his younger brothers and sisters sort out their schoolbags, and then sent them to the school bus one by one.

Until he saw the school bus of the primary school disappearing, Gao Huan stood in front of the orphanage and looked at the two shallow ruts on the mud floor and was stunned for a while.

He sighed softly, pushed his used bike, and prepared to go out.

At this time, Uncle Zhao, who was watching the door, called Gao Huan.

"Xiao Huanzi, what you said to the dean yesterday was sincere? It's those things you say you don't plan to go to high school? Uncle Zhao looked at Gao Huan and asked with a frown.

This Uncle Zhao's real name is Zhao Gang, and after graduating from junior high school, he also took the initiative to give up his high school studies, and chose to join the army, becoming an ordinary soldier fighting on the "fog front".

Because of his bravery in battle, he would have had a chance to be promoted.

It's a pity that in a confrontation with the fierce beast, the meridians of his right leg were completely torn off, and since then he has become a disabled person with limited mobility, which makes him have to choose to retire.

Perhaps because he has experienced the baptism of iron and blood, Zhao Gang always habitually puts on an unsmiling appearance on weekdays, which makes most of the children in the orphanage afraid of him.

But Gao Huan knew that this Uncle Zhao was just like the old dean and Aunt Zhang, who were gentle and kind in his heart.

Gao Huan pushed the bicycle in front of Uncle Zhao and replied with a smile: "Of course it's true!" Uncle Zhao, do you think I look like a child who likes to lie? ”

Zhao Gang looked at Gao Huan pretending to be relaxed, grabbed one side of his trouser leg with one hand, sighed softly, and said, "It's okay to be an ordinary person, you don't have to go to the battlefield in the future." ”

His tone was a little lower, and then he asked, "So what are you going to do next?" ”

Gao Huan immediately smiled heartily, revealing a neat mouthful of white teeth, and said, "There is a courier station in the town to recruit couriers, I am going to go there and ask first." ”

Zhao Gang stretched out his hand and patted Gao Huan's shoulder, and said, "Good boy, no matter what you do, uncle believes that you are good!" ”

Gao Huan still looked like he was smiling and indifferent, he also patted Uncle Zhao's shoulder and responded, "Okay, okay, why did Uncle Zhao make the atmosphere so heavy." I'm leaving! ”

After saying that, Gao Huan waved his hand in a dashing manner, stepped on the bicycle and rode out of the gate of the orphanage.

The sky is cloudless, and the autumn wind is blowing. In front of the orphanage, a few ancient trees on both sides of the road are already in the middle of the fall.

Zhao Gang stood at the door, looking at Gao Huan's figure riding away, his throat rolled, as if he wanted to shout, but he finally chose to whisper.

"Come on."

He said until the lonely figure of the boy disappeared at the end of the road.
