Chapter 12: A Crowded World

In the blink of an eye, it is November, and the early winter of Jingcheng is full of the damp cold and plain light unique to the Jianghuai Plain. Tang Carp wrapped in a thick down jacket, sitting alone on the steps by the playground, holding a bucket of instant noodles just bought from the commissary, shrinking his neck and sucking, after a while, a layer of fine sweat oozed out of his head, after drinking the last mouthful of soup, Tang Carp hiccuped comfortably, I don't know why she has been hungry very fast recently.

On the empty playground, a little boy of twelve or thirteen years old was playing basketball. At this time, Tang Li's parents sat in the principal's room like students who had made mistakes.

"Parent Tang Li, I invite you two to come this time, I have some information I want to report to you." The first to speak was Mr. Li, Tang Li's old class.

"Teacher Li, if you have anything to say, just say it." Wu Dayun said: "Is it that our Tang carp is in trouble again?" ”

"No, no, Tang Li really didn't get into trouble during this time, compared to when he first entered the school in the first year of high school, he was really a lot more stable." Dean of Teaching.

"And what is it today?" Tang Guohao asked.

"I won't go around the bend, haven't you noticed anything unusual about your Tang carp recently?" This time it was the headmaster who spoke.

Tang Guohao and Wu Dayun glanced at each other, and Wu Dayun spoke: "What do you mean by this, principal?" ”

"Let me tell you so, two weeks ago, Tang Li's classmate had to bring sunglasses to class, saying that she had a needle eye, but their head teacher took her to the infirmary for examination, but she had no problem with her eyes at all." The principal said.

"We thought she was an old problem, just after the training, but recently she has intensified, during the class inexplicably screamed, pointed out the door and said that there was something dirty, once she just entered the classroom, picked up the mop and hit the air is a mess, almost hurt her classmates, the most incomprehensible thing is that in the past two days she began to spread rumors in the school again, saying that there are murderers with machetes to kill, and there are children in the toilet crying all the time...... There are too many, and based on this situation, our school office believes that Tang Li's student may not be suitable for studying at present. The dean said earnestly.

"It's better to go to the hospital for a look." The headmaster added with a sigh.

"You have been talking for a long time, which means that my daughter is mentally ill, right? That's what it means, right? Wu Dayun said simply.

"No, that's not what it means...... We're just ......," Mr. Li said.

My mother chuckled and said, "Teacher Li, our Tang carp has been mentioning you recently, it's not easy to talk about the old class, I know my daughter too well, she can say this, it already shows that she wants to change and is working hard." ”

"This ......" Teacher Li suddenly lost his words and looked sorry.

"Okay, Mr. Li, you don't have to be sorry, you don't have to say anything. Please tell your family leader, our Xiaoyu won't bother you, we will go to the hospital, we won't go to this school! After speaking, Wu Dayun turned around and was about to leave.

"Parent Tang Li, please wait a moment, we really didn't mean that!" The principal hurriedly stood up from his position and explained: "Parents and teachers are in the same mood, if Tang Li is sure that he is okay, he is welcome to come back to class at any time, but now we also have to take care of the feelings of other students' parents." ”

"Care?" Wu Dayun turned around and was about to speak, but was interrupted by his father: "Dayun, don't say it, let's go home first!" ”

Tang Li crossed the playground, threw the instant noodle bucket into the garbage can, and when she walked back, the little boy who had been playing basketball in the playground suddenly caught up with her and asked with a smile, "Sister, do you want to play together?" Tang Li was stunned, didn't speak, lowered his head and staggered away.

Another little boy caught up with Tang Li, pulled her sleeve and said, "Sister, do you want to play together?" ”

Sister, do you want to play together?

Sister, do you want to play together?

Sister, do you want to play together?

Tang Lili was surrounded by a group of young boys, and they surrounded her and approached her with the same blue-gray face.

Tang Li clenched her fists, closed her eyes and rushed out, I don't know how long she ran, she fell to the ground, slowly opened her eyes, and the playground was empty in the twilight.

Syllable!

Syllable!

Syllable!

Tang Li turned around slowly, and the kid who was shooting the ball stood behind him and smiled at her: "Sister, do you want to play with me?" ”

The little boy threw the basketball to Tang Li, she reflexively caught it, the little boy smiled at her, showing his white teeth, she lowered her head, and there was a human head in her hand! A little boy's head grinned: "Sister, do you want to play with me?" ”

"Ahh Tang Li screamed and threw away the basketball.

"Wow!" The little boy was frightened by her sudden cry and cried, turned and ran away: "Mom, this sister is so terrible......"

Tang Li squatted on the ground and kept screaming, until her mother came over and hugged her, and said again and again: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid!" ”

Tang Guohao stroked Bai Xiaoyu's head and said, "Mom and Dad, I'll take you home!" ”

Since the gluttonous incident, Tang Li has found that she can see more and more things that are becoming more and more absurd and bizarre. Tang Li felt as if he had suddenly been banished to another world alone, and the only place where he could temporarily calm down was home.

Before returning to the room, Tang Li turned to his parents and said seriously: "Dad, Mom, I want to quit school!" After speaking, Tang Li turned around and closed the door.

After a moment of silence, Wu Dayun suddenly said loudly: "What's the use of hiding? Evade! That's what a fool does! ”

Tang Carp's nose was sour, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and a tear slipped into his mouth along the corner of his eyes, the taste was salty.

It was the first time she had cried since she could remember.

Tang Li turned on the Himalayan music radio station, and a very good song came from it:

You withdraw from the city that is familiar to you,

Die from the city you know,

You are born again in a different place,

It's like your shards, drifting.

Eventually, you're back,

With the unfamiliar atmosphere of your city,

You are you, and you are not you......
