Chapter 26: Heartache
Zhu Neng did not cover the manhole cover of the sewer when he set off from the school, and Zhang Xueying, who was wandering around the school, saw the uncovered sewer wellhead and immediately became desolate.
Zhang Xueying thought that there was another big dog in the school, she was so frightened that her face was bloodless, and she hurried to the book tower to find Chen Ming who was meditating.
Zhang Xueying's hurried footsteps woke Chen Ming from his retreat, and Chen Ming looked at Zhang Xueying suspiciously, not knowing what had happened.
Zhang Xueying gestured excitedly: "The manhole cover of the sewer has been opened, and there is a big dog in the school." ”
Chen Ming was shocked, he got up suddenly, ran out of the book tower in two steps and one step, and rushed out of the book tower with a flying foot with a strange shape floating on Chen Ming's side. This flying sword was transformed by Chen Ming with a sharp knife, and he used his ability to open the back of the sharp knife, and slowly turned the tip of the knife into the tip of the sword, making it more aggressive.
Chen Ming, who ran out of the book tower, saw the manhole cover being opened from a distance. Chen Ming raised his hand and waved his hand at the manhole cover, and the manhole cover was controlled and flew back to the sewer entrance to cover it firmly.
Chen Ming looked around with a wary face, slowly moved the stone to the manhole cover and pressed it, and after confirming that no big dog could come in, Chen Ming took Zhang Xueying to find Ma Jie.
Ma Jie, who had stayed up all night, had fallen asleep in the dormitory.
In the dream, Ma Jie saw his girlfriend, who sat quietly on the edge of the playground and watched him go to class, watching him train with a few students from the school who were going to participate in the Paralympic Games.
After class, his girlfriend made him delicious beef and rewarded him for his hard work.
As soon as the picture in the dream turned, Ma Jie returned to the dormitory. The girlfriend sat on the edge of the bed and looked at himself with a look of adoration. He sat in a chair with his guitar in his hand and sang their favorite song.
"You're in the winter sun..."
Suddenly, his girlfriend's figure became blurred, like the reflection on the water surface being hit by a stone. Ma Jie hurriedly went to hug his girlfriend, but he hugged him empty, and only heard the last gesture before seeing his girlfriend disappear: "Take care of the children." ”
In reality, Ma Jie, who was sleeping on the bed, burst into tears, and his pillow was already wet with his tears.
Chen Ming didn't care about the courtesy, he shook Ma Jie's arm vigorously to wake him up from his dream.
Ma Jie opened his eyes and saw Chen Ming gesturing anxiously: "The school is in the dog, come with me." After speaking, he turned around and ran to the dormitory where Wang Jia was.
When Ma Jie heard this, he didn't bother to wipe the tears on his face or put on his shoes, so he followed Chen Ming barefoot and ran to the room where Wang Jia was.
The two stopped at the door of the room, staring at the note on the door and stunned.
Ma Jie's stubble-covered face showed a kind of anger, anger at Zhu Neng's self-assertion, anger at his own incompetence.
He tore off the note and held it in the palm of his hand, only to see the firelight flash, and only black ashes were left in his palm and slowly blown off by the wind.
Ma Jie came to the cafeteria warehouse in silence, he filled his pocket with a few chocolate energy bars, and then ate them as he walked, and soon came to the sewer entrance in the playground. He struggled to move the huge stone, trying to move it away, but his weak body made his thought only an idea.
Seeing this, Chen Ming stepped forward and grabbed his right hand, which was still intact, and tried to pull him up.
Who knew that Ma Jie didn't appreciate Chen Ming's hand and shook it off, still trying to move the stone away. Chen Ming took a scoop of cold water from the faucet on the side and poured it on Ma Jie's head, and Ma Jie raised his wet head to look at Chen Ming.
Chen Ming said calmly: "The person has already left, what can you do if you go out now." In your current state, you're just going to die. Aren't there enough people you think are dead? ”
Ma Jie didn't answer, he just jumped up and punched Chen Ming in the cheek.
Chen Ming didn't dodge, didn't fight back, he let Ma Jie's right fist bombard his face, breaking the corner of his mouth and leaving a trace of blood.
Ma Jie stared at Chen Ming, who was motionless, and suddenly covered his face and choked silently. Ma Jie's mind seemed to see that Zhu Neng met a big dog outside, was chased by the big dog, was bitten by the big dog, and finally was eaten by the big dog.
Ma Jie's mouth moved slightly, and he muttered silently: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not a good teacher, I can't take care of you, I can't take care of you." ”
Chen Ming stepped forward and hugged Ma Jie's shoulders, letting his tears soak through his clothes.
After a while, Ma Jie's mood slowly calmed down, and he left Chen Ming's hug and said, "Can you help me find Zhu Neng?" Even if he's dead, don't let the mad dogs spoil his body, he's a good boy, impulsive but really a good boy. ”
Chen Ming didn't refuse, he nodded and patted Ma Jie's shoulder, "Take care of the people in the school, I will come back with Zhu Neng." ”
The manhole cover slowly floated with the stones above, and Chen Ming jumped into the sewer with the mango. The manhole cover fell abruptly under the weight of the boulder, sealing off the entire wellhead and isolating the sewer from the school.
As soon as the mango entered the sewer, he felt an abnormality, and instead of giving joy, he crawled forward cautiously.
Chen Ming patted Mango's head to signal it to take the lead, and Mango raised his feet and began to move forward slowly.
As he approached the exit of the feeder line, Mango suddenly pricked up his ears and stopped. Chen Ming turned off his flashlight, let Mango stay where he was, and moved quietly forward by himself.
Gradually, Chen Ming heard a group of dogs running through the main line of the sewer, and the pace was messy and noisy, and Chen Ming could clearly feel that there were a lot of big dogs.
After the dogs passed, Chen Ming jumped into the main sewer line with the mango. The dogs that had just passed by trampled the sewers to the ground, and all kinds of garbage were trampled out of the water and lay on the ground casually.
Chen Ming didn't know which direction Zhu Neng was from, but he had a hunch that Zhu Neng had been discovered by the dogs, and he could find Zhu Neng by following the dogs.
Chen Ming snapped his fingers and pointed ahead, and Mango began to take the lead in running ahead.
Going all the way down the main line of the sewer, Chen Ming soon saw the tails of the dogs. A group of large dogs were rushing to the branch of a sewer, the dogs were noisy, and Chen Ming's ears were full of the sound of the mad dogs.
Chen Ming controlled his flying sword and slowly flew up, and began to reap the life of the rearmost big dog around the arc.
The flying sword silently pierced through the side of the big dog, pierced the heart of the big dog, and then stabbed out from the other side of the big dog, and at the same time stabbed into the body of the big dog next to it.
In the dark sewers, the outermost dogs of the pack died, and blood flowed out of the wounds on the dogs' bodies, staining all the sewer water red.
All the big dogs in the main sewer line died, and the big dogs in the branch gradually realized the changes behind him and turned their heads, only to see the dog corpse in one place and Chen Ming standing in the dog corpse.
The big dog in the branch turned and rushed straight towards Chen Ming.
A smile appeared on Chen Ming's face, and he raised his right arm and stretched out his right index finger. His wrist swung forward, and the flying sword flew into the sewer branch with a sharp circle, forming a metal storm and advancing forward.
In an instant, there was a constant wail in the sewer branch, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. The big dogs no longer dared to rush forward, and rushed to the rear like ants.
More than 50 large dogs in the sewers were all pierced and died of heart.
Chen Ming stepped on the corpse of the dog and slowly came to the exit of the sewer, looking at the sky, and it was clear outside.
Chen Ming controlled the flying sword to go out and wipe out all the big dogs around the sewer, but when he stepped out of the sewer, he only saw the last scene of Zhu Neng jumping into the river.
Zhu Neng's jumping into the river made Chen Ming furious in his heart, looking at the dozens of big dogs standing by the river, he wanted to destroy them all. But he felt his weakness obviously, and he glanced at the dogs hatefully, jumped back into the sewers and disappeared.
Inside the school, Ma Jie sat on a chair at the edge of the playground, his eyes staring motionless in the direction of the sewer.
Ma Jie was anxious, and his right hand, which was still intact, kept tapping on the arm of the chair, making a sound of stomping.
Ma Jie doesn't know what happened to Zhu Neng? Did Chen Ming find Zhu Neng? Did Zhu Neng encounter a big dog and encounter danger.
Zhang Xueying sat quietly with him, holding a physics science book in her hand, but her eyes did not stare at the rich science book, but looked at the sewer for a while, and turned her head to Wang Jia's dormitory for a while. Her pure eyes were filled with worry and fear.
Zhang Xueying desperately imagined Zhu Neng's appearance in her mind, and she hoped that she could predict Zhu Neng's future. But her ability is like a mischievous bear child, and she doesn't want him to appear in front of you when she appears; When you want him to show up, he hides in a corner so that you can't find him anyway.
Zhang Xueying knocked her head in disappointment, and shouted angrily in her heart: "You come out, you come out quickly." ”
The sewer slowly flew up, and Zhang Xueying knew that they were back.
The mango jumped out of the sewer, its legs covered in blood, which made both Ma Jie and Zhang Xueying feel a sense of discomfort. But they all thought in their hearts that the next person to appear would be Zhu Neng, the Zhu Neng who got along with him day and night with a bright smile.
The next one to appear was Chen Ming, Chen Ming's face was neither sad nor joyful, no smile nor anger.
Majie hurried over to look at the sewers, hoping to see the boy's face.
But after Chen Ming came out, the manhole cover fell down with a loud bang. Chen Ming couldn't hold on any longer, and sat on the ground with a tired face.
Ma Jie was disappointed at first, and then immediately asked anxiously: "What about Zhu Neng?" What about Zhu Neng? ”
Chen Ming shook his head ashamedly, "I was chased by dogs and jumped into the river, and now I don't know if I live or die." ”
Ma Jie asked again, "Which river?" ”
Chen Ming recalled: "There are many views along the river. ”
Ma Jie wailed in his heart, only to feel a heartache, and he fell to the ground clutching his chest in pain.
There is only one river in the county that has a landscape, and that is the mother river in the county. The river appears to be gentle, but in fact it has a turbulent undercurrent, and many swimmers who claim to be excellent swimmers drown in it every year.
In the past, Ma Jie laughed in his heart when he heard this kind of accident: those who are good at water drown. But now his students have jumped into the river.
Zhang Xueying saw Ma Jie sitting on the ground panting in pain, she hurriedly went over and raised her hand to gently massage Ma Jie's back.
Ma Jie shook his head and pressed Zhang Xueying's hand, he stood up forcefully and slowly walked towards the book tower.
