Chapter 53: The Lion King Cried
The first semester of the second year of high school is about to end, and the summer vacation is coming soon, the courses in high school have basically been completed, and it has entered the college entrance examination review stage, the last time I went home, the first time I saw my mother, it scared me, she had a toothache, and pulled out the two front front teeth, she became dark and thin, I felt for the first time that I cared so much about her, since she divorced her father, I seemed to be tormenting her all the time, no matter what, as long as it can make her unhappy or unhappy, I am willing to do it. At that moment, I had already made a decision in my heart not to say hello to anyone, I wanted to end my school days and do more for my family, for my mother, for my father, for my younger brother.
Back to high school, I'm still the same as before, no one can see my inner world, one Saturday night, I bought some peanuts, bought two bottles of Erguotou, I especially want to get drunk, I didn't drink liquor before, I was forced to drink half a cup by my eldest brother at my aunt's house last time, when I took the things I bought and walked back, I happened to meet the lion king, I asked him if he had time, can you drink with me, and shook the things in his hand at him. The lion king said that there is such a good thing as drinking, and no matter how busy you are, you have to put it down first, and asked me if Lao Mao went to the video hall to stay overnight again? I replied that the male hormone secretion of Lao Mao was too vigorous, and I wanted to spend Saturday every day and grow in the video hall every day.
Returning to the rental house with the lion king, one person has a bottle and two pots, holding a wine bottle in one hand and blowing directly on the bottle, drinking a sip of liquor and chewing a few peanuts. I said I really don't understand, why are so many people willing to drink baijiu when it's so spicy? The lion king told me that after taking a sip into my mouth, don't be in a hurry to swallow it, use my tongue against the upper teeth, let the wine slowly enter the throat along the sides of the tongue, and then experience it carefully, feel the warm current in the stomach after swallowing the wine, and the aroma of the wine that comes up from the stomach. Forget it, I poured a few more mouthfuls into my mouth, I just wanted a hangover.
Why do you drink so hard? The second pot head is 56 degrees, this can be intoxicating, is there anything on your mind? It makes me happy, said the lion king.
I can see that I have something on my mind, so can't I say a few nice words to make me comfortable? I went back to school this time to say hello to a few good brothers, I don't want to go to school anymore, I said.
I still don't know you from middle school until now? You are strong inside, if a few words can comfort you, then you don't have to hold the bottle of liquor and drink it to death. Why don't you go to school? Is it because of family matters? That Uncle Wang of yours is not willing to take money for you to go to school? The Lion King asked me.
I poured another sip of liquor, coughed a few times and said: It's not that he doesn't want to confess, it's that he doesn't have the ability, and it costs a lot to go to high school now. Besides, I really don't want to go to school anymore, these few times I went home to get living expenses, the family has no money at all, and when I left, my mother went to the neighbor's house to borrow it, and I don't want her to work for me like this again. By the way, I've always wanted to ask you, are you still in touch with Charlene? How did you break it then? I don't go to school, I haven't written to tell Wu Xia yet, I don't know how to tell her, it's a bit of a pity that I haven't even pulled her hand.
The lion king said disdainfully to me: Look at your little bit of interest, you haven't held hands yet, you just want to be satisfied with holding hands with others, and the money spent in the video hall is not in vain? Then he also poured a sip of liquor and said: You think too much, what you see is that I have a new girlfriend in high school, and I am empathetic and don't fall in love first, in fact, it's not what you think, but I didn't tell you at the beginning, I didn't want to be embarrassed in front of you, I wrote her several letters at that time, but I didn't receive a reply from her, I know, she may have a new boyfriend in a new school. I've been really sad for a long time about this, I've read it in books before, and some people say that if you want to forget about a relationship, then start a new relationship quickly, so I have a new girlfriend. You don't have to do anything, you don't have to propose to break up, and you don't have to tell Wu Xia that you won't go to school, as long as she writes to you and can't receive your reply, after a long time, the two of you will naturally break up.
After listening to the words of the Lion King, I was a little sad, if Wu Xia couldn't receive my reply again, would she also think that I was empathetic and took the lead in splitting my legs. The lion king raised his neck and drank half a bottle of wine and half a bottle of white wine, ouch, I'm going to go, you're crazy, I was about to go up and grab his wine bottle, but I saw tears flowing from the corners of the lion king's eyes.
The lion king put down the wine bottle, grabbed a few peanuts and threw them into his mouth and said: If you don't go today, I'll drink with you here, get drunk with you to see you off, and when I don't go tomorrow, who can accompany me to drink, accompany me to get drunk once, see me off, fourth, since you have made a good decision and don't want to go to school anymore, I won't persuade you, I may not go at any time, even if I can't go to school more than you. You also know that when I was in junior high school, my dad died of stomach cancer, fortunately I have a good brother, he has always been at home to support, make money for me to study, last spring, my brother just got married, in order to make more money, my brother went up the mountain in winter to smoke a condom, last year, he was working in the mountains, piled up together with wood scattered, smashed my brother's leg, although connected, but left a lifelong disability, can no longer do heavy work, see my brother become like this, my sister-in-law left. I haven't come back since the New Year, and I've said several times that I don't want to go to school, but my brother has been forced to die. In the past few years, my family still has a little savings, and when this savings is spent by me, it is estimated that my studies will come to an end.
After listening to the Lion King's narration, I was silent, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, I have always felt that this good learner, and versatile big boy is sunny and cheerful, I never thought that he was suffering so much pain and pressure in his heart.
We were both drunk that night, a bottle of liquor per person, and on the morning of the second day, it wasn't until Lao Mao came back from the video hall that I began to have memories, I only remember that I cried last night, and I cried very emotionally, and I cried very sadly.
Lao Mao'er looked at the two empty liquor bottles thrown on the ground, and then looked at the two of us who were lying on the kang and were depressed, and said: You two just have peanuts, and one person drinks a bottle of Erguotou? Second master, I know that I am usually with the two of you, because of my beauty and talent, it puts a lot of pressure on the two of you, but don't torture yourself like this, one person can drink the dead with one bottle and two pots, you said that if this is the two of you, one of them becomes an idiot because of alcoholism, how can I explain to your family, and how will the media report it then? The title of the article, will it be said that it is because of my beauty and talent that you have become like this.
The lion king and I were still lying on the kang without any expression, watching him perform on the ground, like watching an idiot, we both rolled our eyes, closed our eyes, and continued to sleep. Lao Maoer hurriedly took off his shoes and went to the kang, and said while squeezing: Go to the side, pour me some place, I was trapped to death this night, it is still beautiful in Europe and the United States, it is really exciting, it is really exciting.
