Chapter 8 Escape from Danger
The late autumn sun is a little lazy, lazily shining on the earth, lazily shining on the big bell tower, lazily shining on Gou Shun's body, and illuminating Gou Shun a little lazy.
Gou Shun closed his eyes and lay quietly on the top of the big bell tower.
He had been on the bell tower for hours, and gradually, a layer of sleepiness set in.
————
After throwing out the torch, Gou Shun grabbed the tree and jumped up, but the tiger had already rushed to him halfway up.
I saw that the tiger jumped up, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced on Gou Shun's leg, and wanted to bite his leg.
It was too late, it was fast, and I saw that Gou Shun did not choose to climb up, but pushed the tree with both hands, left the tree, quickly retracted his legs, stepped on the tiger's big and round head, and then kicked suddenly, jumped on the branch, and finally supported it with both hands on the branch and climbed on the branch.
Looking at the tiger again, after being stepped on by Gou Shun, he was a little confused at first, and then found the two people on the branch, so he put his two front legs on the trunk of the big tree and began to pull.
Obviously, the tiger looked at the two people above his head, and was very anxious when he couldn't climb up, only to see it open its bloody mouth and let out an angry roar at the two.
The high-pitched roar seemed to shake the tree, and through the bloody mouth, Gou Shun saw its sharp teeth, blood-red tongue, and even its trembling throat.
And An Ran, obviously frightened by this roar, saw her involuntarily close her eyes and let go of her hands holding the branches to cover her ears.
But when she let go, she couldn't sit still, her body shook, and she had a tendency to fall.
Seeing this, Gou Shun didn't have time to think about it, stretched out his right arm, and hugged her in his arms.
When An Ran opened his eyes, Gou Shun realized his faux pas, and quickly let go of the hand holding An Ran, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
An Ran was originally extremely scared, but when he saw Gou Shun's appearance, like a child who had done something wrong and was afraid of being criticized by his mother, he couldn't help but "poof" and laughed, and the fear in his heart suddenly disappeared by half.
"It's okay, I know you're here to save me, Gou Shun, you said this tiger wouldn't climb up, right?" An Ran asked.
"This tiger is so big, it shouldn't be able to climb up." Gou Shun replied.
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the two hind legs of the tiger that had been supported on the ground suddenly exerted force, and then the whole tiger opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Gou Shun's feet hanging under the branches.
Fortunately, Gou Shun's hand pulled the branch tightly, and the tiger bit down on the sole of Gou Shun's shoe and bit his shoe down.
However, this moment also made the two people on the branch break out in a cold sweat.
Look at the tiger again, spit out Goushun's shoes aside, and then put the two front legs on the trunk again, and the hind legs were slightly bent, intending to jump again.
Seeing this, Gou Shun hurriedly put his feet up, looked at An Ran and said, "It's too dangerous here, we still have to climb up." ”
"What? I have to climb up, I'm afraid it's too high! An Ran said a little worriedly.
"Are you afraid of heights or tigers?" Gou Shun asked.
"Afraid of tigers."
Gou Shun listened, grabbed the trunk of the tree with both hands, squatted on the branch, looked back at An Ran, and said, "Just like just now, step on my shoulder, and I will send you up." ”
I saw An Ran grabbing Gou Shun, slowly moving over, and then holding the trunk with both hands and stepping on Gou Shun's shoulder.
Gou Shun stood up hard, successfully sent her to the branch above, and then hooked her legs on the trunk and climbed up cleanly.
The two of them sat on the higher branches, watching the tiger below spin and jump in a hurry, sometimes letting out a loud roar.
"Gou Shun, this tiger is quite persistent!"
"He's probably hungry!"
"Well, when you say that, I'm hungry too."
"When it's dawn, I'll go out and see if I can find something to eat."
"Gou Shun."
"What's wrong?"
"Why do you climb trees so fast?"
"When I was a kid in the village, those people always stopped me and beat me, and every time I met them, I would climb up the tree, and they would leave if they couldn't go up."
"Do they bully you a lot?"
"Oh."
The night in the valley was unusually cold, Gou Shun's coat was burned again, and a cold wind blew, and Gou Shun couldn't help but shiver.
Seeing this, An Ran leaned closer to Gou Shun's side.
Gou Shun unconsciously moved to the side.
"Gou Shun, what are you hiding?"
"What are you going to do?"
"I see you're cold, and we'll be a little warmer next to each other."
"No, I can handle it."
"Can I eat you?"
"It's not."
"Gou Shun, I see that you don't like to talk to others at school, why is that?"
"I'm afraid."
"No, you are not even afraid of snakes and tigers, you are not afraid of such beasts, and you are also afraid of people?"
"Beasts are not terrible, people are terrible."
"Why is that? What is there to be afraid of? An Ran's eyes widened and asked curiously.
"Because the beasts don't look down on me, they don't make fun of me, but people do."
After listening to this, An Ran nodded, and said, "What you said also makes sense, so do you think I'm terrible?" ”
"You're not scary."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Then you are not allowed to hide." An Ran said, leaning on Gou Shun's body again.
Gou Shun didn't hide, he liked this feeling very much, and he even hoped that the sky would never dawn.
Jingle bell.
A rapid bell woke Gou Shun up, Gou Shun rubbed his eyes, and found that the sun had set in the west, and the sky was scattered with patches of beautiful sunset.
Gou Shun looked up and saw that the students had walked out of the classroom one after another, walking towards the cafeteria and the school gate.
It should be six o'clock in the afternoon, and six o'clock is the time for dinner, Gou Shun thought like this, and realized that he had not eaten for a day and a night.
At this time, his stomach was gurgling.
No, if you bear with me, you will definitely be discovered by your classmates if you go down now.
Gou Shun lay down again, he stared blankly at the sky, watching the night eat away at the day little by little.
That dream resurfaced in Gou Shun's mind again, the same as the last time, he hugged An Ran, An Ran leaned on him again, An Ran's delicate face and her gentle voice made Gou Shun feel a reality that seemed to be touchable again.
Gou Shun was even a little glad in his heart, glad that they had escaped the attack of the tiger.
Gou Shun recalled these dreams completely, he felt like watching a movie, and he was the protagonist of that movie, that sense of picture, that kind of atmosphere, real and detailed.
The main thing is, why do you remember this dream so clearly after waking up?
Jingle bell is the sound of class.
It was already completely dark at night, and the students had all entered the classroom.
Gou Shun observed a circle on the big bell tower, and the ring car and guard were gone, and the campus was much quieter.
Hunger, like a beast of prey, began to attack him again.
Gou Shun plucked up his courage and jumped from the big bell tower to the roof of the teaching building, and then from the roof of the teaching building, to the ground.
Gou Shun, who fell to the ground, did not hesitate at all, ran towards the school wall quickly, ran to the wall, and jumped to the outside of the wall.
There is a small alley behind the school, and there are many small vendors and small restaurants in the alley, which are messy and congested, and the environment is relatively poor, so it should be safe.
Thinking like this, Gou Shun buttoned the hat behind his coat on his head, lowered his head, and walked quickly to the small alley.
At a small restaurant in the middle of the alley, Gou Shun ordered a fried mein, keeping his head down, afraid of being recognized.
"It's too exaggerated, isn't it?"
"Yes, there are dozens of them at a time, and the real ones can't be fake."
Such a conversation came from the table behind Gou Shun, which made Gou Shun's heart suddenly tense.
Gou Shun deliberately put a pair of chopsticks on the table to the ground, and took the opportunity to pick up the chopsticks to secretly observe the table behind him.
Two middle-aged men sat at the table in the back, and Gou Shun followed their gaze and found that they were watching TV.
On TV was a foreign movie with a line written in the lower right corner, League of Avengers.
Gou Shun's heart relaxed, and after eating a portion of fried noodles, Gou Shun ordered another one, because he didn't know when the next meal would be, and he would be full.
"Is this going to be packed?" The proprietress looked at Gou Shun and asked.
"No, eat." Gou Shun replied without looking up.
Obviously, the proprietress was a little surprised, and muttered: "I can't see that the body is small, and the amount of food is quite large." ”
Gou Shun ignored her, and when the meal was served, Gou Shun ate again, handed the proprietress a twenty and walked away.
"Young man, you still need to find money." The proprietress shouted from behind.
However, Gou Shun did not look back, he quickly left the small alley and returned to the top of the bell tower.
Waiting aimlessly was a kind of torment, and at this moment Gou Shun deeply realized it, he lay on the bell tower, and recalled the dream several times, just to pass the time.
But the more he recalled, the more he felt that Enron was a real person.
No, how is this possible? He clearly remembered that he and An Ran were in college in his dream, but he was only in high school now, how could he dream of college?
Is it schizophrenic, I heard that schizophrenic people can imagine another self, but they can clearly distinguish between day and night, reality and dreams, and they can be sure that An Ran appeared in a dream, what is going on?
Forget it, I still don't want to think about it, I can't figure out what is in front of me, so why bother with a dream.
The immediate thing, yes, the immediate thing.
Will Zhao Chengxiang send Xia Rushi home today? Will he still want to plot against Xia Rushi? He must not be allowed to succeed.
He must not be allowed to succeed, the voice began to swirl in Gou Shun's brain, so that he could no longer calm down, and could no longer think about anything else.
I saw Gou Shun jumping down from the big bell tower and flexibly flipping into the playground.
At this time, the playground was empty and dark, and the reason why Gou Shun wanted to climb in was because of the road next to the playground, which was the only way to get out of the carport to the school gate.
Gou Shun stood in the dark shadow, waiting quietly.
Jingle bell is the bell for the end of school.
Bicycles showed up on that road, one, two, and then dozens or hundreds.
However, Gou Shun still saw Xia Rushi, he was wearing a pink down jacket, which looked so different, at this time, she was sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, hugging the waist of the rider in front of her, and the rider was Zhao Chengxiang.
At the door of Xia Rushi's community, Zhao Chengxiang and Xia Rushi were standing opposite each other, while Gou Shun was still standing in the shadows.
"Rushi, I won't go up, when you sleep, remember to close the doors and windows, and call me if you have something." Zhao Chengxiang looked at Xia Rushi and said, obviously he looks much more honest today.
"Cheng Xiang, be careful on the road." Xia Rushi said with concern.
"Got it, goodbye!" Zhao Chengxiang said, turned around and left.
Xia Rushi also turned her head and walked towards the community.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's time to find yourself a place to rest." Gou Shun thought so in his heart, and turned around to leave.
However, when Gou Shun turned around, he found a dozen inspectors standing behind him, each holding a pistol in his hand, and the muzzle of the pistol was facing him.
