Chapter 109: Addiction
"You come out with me." Lynch pulled up Zhang Xin, who was sitting in the yard, and walked to the door, Zhang Xin looked at Lynch's face and felt that he seemed to be a little angry, but he didn't know what the reason was, Zhang Xin didn't dare to ask anything, so he obediently pulled him out of the yard.
"Tell me the truth, when you go to catch snakes today, are you in trouble with the dog?" When Lynch came back from the village chief's house, he happened to see the dog squatting outside to fetch snake gall bladder, he leaned over to take a look, and found that the snake was not just a small snake without poison as they said when they came back, but a highly venomous king cobra, and looking at the size of this snake is quite large, Lynch is creepy, he can't imagine what the situation will be like now if Zhang Xin was bitten this afternoon.
Zhang Xin faced Lynch's inquiry, thinking that he must have known something, so he didn't hide it anymore, and told Lynch about the poisonous snake he encountered this afternoon, and after Lynch heard it, he didn't say anything to blame, just stretched out his hand and hugged her tightly, he was suddenly a little scared in his heart, he was afraid that one day Zhang Xin would be like his father, and he would leave him one day.
On the third day of coming to the village, Zhang Xin got up early, changed into the spare clothes he brought, a dark blue gown and a pair of black cloth shoes, Zhang Xin felt that he was dressed like a woman working in the countryside, Zhang Xin combed his hair into two big braids, hung down behind him, and folded the quilt neatly and put it in the bed.
Subsequently, she came to the yard to fetch a bucket of well water, put it in the pot and boiled it for a while, Zhang Xin may be because she has lived in the village for more than ten years, everything is very handy, the loudspeaker will broadcast the notice every morning, Zhang Xin took the broom, and cleaned the yard while listening.
After a while, Lynch and Grandma Cui were woken up by the sound of a horn, and Zhang Xin saw that they all got up, so she took the initiative to take on the task of making breakfast, she heated four coarse noodles, boiled corn porridge with corn kernels, and fried a few eggs with chopped green onions on the stove.
Grandma Cui's appetite is very good today, she actually drank a big bowl of corn porridge and ate a lot of eggs, Zhang Xin looked at this happy appearance, and felt that it was okay to live here like this.
After eating, there were still as many as half of the families on the list in Lynch's hand that had not yet been visited, Zhang Xin packed up and went out with Lynch to gather with his classmates in the village, planning to investigate all the remaining families today, and then make further classification.
There are a total of 51 classmates in Zhang Xin's class, in addition to the students he sent out to deliver letters, there should be fifty now, Lynch, as a teacher, since he brought the students out, he should ensure their safety, Lynch called the names again, and found that Zhang Rong was missing, Lynch called Zhang Rong's name loudly a few times, but there was still no response.
"Report to the teacher, I just went to Zhang Rong's place and found a note." Just now, the class leader received a response from the classmates who lived with Zhang Rong, and he had not seen Zhang Rong since yesterday afternoon, and the class leader immediately went over to take a look, but he didn't expect to see a note on the table as soon as he entered the room, and the luggage and people that were originally placed in the room disappeared.
"Because there was an emergency at home, I went home first, and I ask for the understanding of teachers and classmates." A few words showed that Zhang Rong had gone back to the city, and when he learned that Zhang Rong had nothing to do, Lynch's mind was now all about the protection of cultural relics in the village, so he didn't say anything, and organized the student to start a day's search.
After Chen Ruize heard Zhou Hui talk about Zhang Xin and Lynch yesterday morning, in the evening, he came to the downstairs of Zhang Xin's dormitory, and happened to meet Li Cui, who had just walked back, and confirmed that Zhang Xin and Lynch did go to a mountain village to do field research through inquiry, and felt a little disappointed. For so long, he has tried his best to protect Zhang Xin, and he looks forward to the day when Zhang Xin can look back at his mind, but he didn't expect that no matter what he does, in Zhang Xin's eyes, he can't reach one thousandth of Lynch's.
He lay on the bed at home like a corpse for a night, until the morning, he still felt stuffy in his chest, so he decided to go presumptuous today, and heard that Principal Chen had packed his things and went to school, so he took the key to the motorcycle and came to a nightclub.
Chen Ruize only knew that there was a place before, but he had never been here, he was upset now, he imagined a place to drink happily, but he didn't expect to be swelled by the deafening music inside as soon as he came in, he regretted that he came to this place, and was about to turn around and leave, and wanted to find a small restaurant to have a few drinks quietly instead of in such a messy place, but was stopped by the waiter at the door, Chen Ruize couldn't resist the waiter's soft grinding and hard bubbles, adhering to the ancient precept that what comes is safe, I found a place to sit down, ordered a bottle of beer, and observed my surroundings as I drank it.
There are all kinds of people around, there are women with heavy makeup, there are nouveau riche with big gold chains around their necks, and there are girls wearing more revealing clothes, everything in this is like the contrast of the outside world, feudal, conservative, honest duty, all the words that should be used in that era do not apply here.
"Haha, our Xiaorong is the top student of the history department of the best university here, come on, let's drink another one." Zhang Rong, who was surrounded in the middle of the crowd, was a little sluggish, looking at the smiling faces in front of him, he felt that his body was light and fluttering, as if he was about to ascend to immortal.
Since the last time several of his classmates brought him to this place to play for a night, since then he has been thinking about this place, and began to save his usual pocket money, and came to play a few times, in the process, he also met the Hao brother in front of him, Hao brother is three years older than him, did not go to school, has been in the society, Zhang Rong is not very clear, but in his opinion, Brother Hao is the most generous person, he said that he admires Zhang Rong very much, so he also invited Zhang Rong to drink many times, As soon as the two came and went, they began to call each other brothers.
The last time Zhang Xin met him, the people next to him were Brother Hao and his younger brothers, Zhang Rong is also a good-looking person, he feels that he has been invited by Brother Hao many times, and he can't let them break the bank anymore, so he took advantage of Li Lihua's lack of attention, so he stole the money in the restaurant and invited Brother Hao to have a big drink.
Yesterday came out of the broken village overnight, Zhang Rong didn't have time to go home and came to this place, it happened that Brother Hao was also there, so he sat with them again, last time Brother Hao mysteriously gave him a bag of something like flour, and sprinkled it in the wine that Zhang Rong was drinking, the thing melted into the wine and was colorless and tasteless, Zhang Rong drank the thing at the instigation of Brother Hao and his party, at first he didn't feel anything, but after a while, he felt that his brain was unusually smart, And I feel like I'm on the clouds, and I feel unusually happy.
In the following days, he missed that feeling like crazy, this time he went to the mountain village, and before leaving, Brother Hao secretly stuffed him with a small packet, but once he got there, he couldn't stand it, as if he was enchanted, he coveted that feeling, found a glass of water, melted the powder in it and drank it.
Chen Ruize felt that something might not be right, so he frowned, took a few sips of the bottle of beer in his hand, paid the money, and left quickly.
Zhang Rong's consciousness was a little unclear, in a daze, he saw a little brother sitting next to Brother Hao stand up, rummaged through his bag, and took out the piece of oracle bone he brought back from the village, he wanted to reach out to stop it, but he had no choice but to drink too much and his brain was not clear, he couldn't hold it in the end, and fell asleep next to him.
After yesterday's visit, every student in the history department had a basic understanding in their hearts, and Lynch repeatedly told him not to talk about these things to the villagers, so as not to cause unnecessary panic and save any unpredictable troubles in the future.
