Chapter 3 A Fat Man in the Dry Tower
The voice message from my dad flickered on the screen of my phone, but I didn't dare to get through, and I always felt that this voice message was a little strange. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Usually there are big and small things, just a phone call is OK, but why did Dad just go near and far, and got a voice message, which made it mysterious!
Could it be a virus? Or is it the boredom of Dad's idle that the point is wrong? I thought, and I couldn't help but be curious, so I clicked the button on the screen to read.
At that moment, the music in the room started to play, and I didn't hear a word of the voice message! But fortunately, the voice message was not a virus, so I stood up and walked briskly out of the gymnasium, ready to find a quiet place to listen to what's inside.
Turning the gymnasium, to the east, to a hidden antique corridor on the side of the teaching building, I casually found a bench closer to the center and sat down, and then took out my mobile phone, and opened the voice message very curiously.
Suddenly, a disorganized noise came from the phone's loudspeaker, because the sound was too loud, it was very scary in this quiet place, I was startled (really jumped), the phone crashed three times, and almost fell to the ground.
When I calmed down and held the phone, my father's voice happened to come from the phone, it was a voice that had changed tone, it sounded very harsh, and there was a trill: "Xiaoxi...... Don't come back, don't ...... Don't go home, there's ...... Yes...... ......"Your voice is intermittent, and at the end it snaps, like a phone dropped to the ground, and it stops abruptly!"
And my heart tightened with the abrupt closing note, as if it had been grabbed by a hand, and a creepy feeling arose.
What happened? Is this a prank on Daddy? Want me to go home? No! No way, I'm about to take my final exam, and my dad takes my studies very seriously, so it's impossible to make such a joke!
Now that this reason has been ruled out, the other possibility is that something really happened at home!
Dad said there was something at home? But what the hell is that thing? Why don't you even have time to make it clear?! Home...... What the hell is going on?!
My brows furrowed tightly, and I looked at my phone a little confused, what's the situation? I asked myself this, but I didn't get an answer! It all felt like a dream, and my father's voice was like a whisper!
But when I looked at the words "whether to repeat" that popped up on the screen of the phone, my heart beat violently again. That's right, it's true!
"Mom and Dad...... By the way, call, how stupid am I!" It's really busy, I forgot about the phone, I laughed at myself, just call and ask clearly, I thought, open the phone address book, first find my father's phone number, quickly dialed the phone, want to ask what the hell is going on, I didn't think that after a beep on the other side, there was a prompt tone that made me nervous, "I'm sorry, the phone you dialed is empty!" ā
"What's going on!?" I exclaimed, how is this possible, I was talking to my father on the phone the other day! How could it be so quickly an empty number! I called the number again and it was still the same! So I called my mother's phone again with a glimmer of hope, but there was a prompt to turn off the phone! I called both of them over and over again, I don't know how many times, until I had to believe that it was all true, and then I put down my phone in a frustrated way.
What the hell is going on?!
My heart was beating fast, and my whole body seemed to be trembling with my heart, what was my father's so-called thing? Is it dangerous to not let me go back? So where did Mom and Dad go? Could it be that there are ghosts who can't do it, and eat them!
When I thought of this, my body shook violently, I didn't even think that I would think of all that nonsense, really...... Amusing!
But people are so ridiculous, once you think about it, it's hard to get rid of that false fear! At this time, I feel like a demon when I see anything around me! I'm afraid that those black shadows in the distance who can't see clearly will move and run towards themselves!
Suddenly, I got goosebumps all over my body, reached out and groped my arms in the air, looked around vigilantly, and prepared to go back to the dormitory.
I've figured it out, I have to go home and see, and I can't wait, I'll go back tomorrow! I can only feel at ease when I see that my parents are safe.
But when I stood up and was about to take a step, I suddenly heard a familiar and delicate voice, which seemed very surprised: "What did you say? The old man is gone?! When is the matter! ā
I turned my head to look at where the sound had come from, and in the dim darkness of the night, a girl in a white dress and a ponytail was standing opposite a tall man in a suit under a locust tree in the far side of the hallway. The girl's white dress stood out in the moonlight, and although it was night, it seemed to glow in my eyes.
That's right, the girl, the girl who smiled at me at the party with a white mask, her fair face dark with surprise in the moonlight, and some sadness in her eyes.
After listening to her question, the man on the other side said in a deep voice: "It was three days ago, and I suddenly went, it's very strange!" After the man finished speaking, he paused and said, "The master said that you have to go back and see what is going on, after all, you are the leader of the four major families." ā
The girl nodded, suddenly turned around and looked around, I was shocked when I saw this, although I didn't know what they were talking about, but I was kind of frightened when I heard some secret event, and I was stunned, and I left the corridor quickly, not daring to look back, for fear of seeing the people behind me chasing after me. But what they said seemed to be that the girl's family named Lou Ling had passed away, but my own family's affairs were a mess, how could I have time to take care of other people's affairs? I secretly laughed at myself for being troubled, and my pace quickened, and in a blink of an eye I arrived downstairs in the dormitory, and I was worried that I would not enter the dormitory building soon.
But there was nothing to say all night
Following
My guide forcibly asked for leave, and under the threat of being informed by the guide that all the credits for this year would be deducted, I resolutely left the school and stepped on the train home. How can credits be more important than relatives, even if I go home and find out that this is my father's prank, and I may be scolded by my father for being ignorant, but I still have to go back!
recalled the instructor's big blue face that was angry with me, and roared: "Jingxi, you ruffian, there is only half a month left to take the exam, you kid!" I don't even want my own future!! This is incoherent, and I think that the instructor may be dragged to the bottom by my oil bottle for his own work performance and hate me very much!
But is his future just an accessory tied to the school? You always have to control your own future, otherwise you may only be a walking dead to live like this in this world, and you just feel good about yourself!
That being said, what does my future look like? Can't think of it, and I'm too lazy to think about it! Just walk on your own terms, right?
Luckily, since it wasn't a holiday, I was able to easily buy a train ticket home.
Speaking of my hometown, it is just a third-tier town in the northeast, called Liaocheng (pseudonym), which means peace and tranquility, and it takes three days to take an ordinary train back from the city where I studied university.
When I got home, I just took toiletries and a change of clothes, carried a small bag, and got on the train home lightly.
Along the way, I just stared at the scenery outside the car, I didn't know what I was thinking, my father's words kept ringing in my ears, and the things around me became as if they didn't exist, even the bead chain around my neck, I didn't bother to touch it.
On the morning of the third day, the train finally arrived at the station, and I dragged my luggage off the train, my mind was muddy, and my steps were soft and uncomfortable.
Just as I was about to descend to the steps under the exit of the station, a man's cool voice suddenly sounded in my ears: "Be careful! Then my body was pushed against the guardrail on the left side with a tremendous force.
I was so frightened that my mind instantly got back on track, and my body really hit the guardrail, and I grinned in pain, and when I turned around angrily to find the person who pushed me, I saw an iron plate flying down from nowhere, and went straight to the downhill stairs of the underground passage, where I was standing! At that time, my mind was blank, as if I was half stupid, but later I thought about it, assuming that I was still standing in place and walking down, I am afraid that at this time it will be a tragic scene of my brain bursting, and I will be on the news immediately and become famous!!
Then I reflexively looked down at the flying iron plate, and then I saw the crowd of bees running in all directions, crowded, noisy, one of the women holding the child was squeezed by the fleeing crowd at this time and sat on the ground, and the direction in which the iron plate fell was the place where the woman fell, I saw this and my heart tightened, between the lightning and flint, I didn't think about it, I staggered and ran in front of the woman, and no matter where the iron plate would hit me, I just pushed the woman to the side with all my might, The body is protected in front of them.
In an instant, I heard a sound of "coaxing", the iron plate had fallen to the ground, I was shocked to close my eyes, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw that the iron plate was firmly on my side, I touched my body, but I was not injured at all, but my coat was cut by the iron plate.
I pushed it away, and the frightened woman looked at the iron plate with stunned eyes at this time, while I sat on the ground with weak legs and smiled bitterly: "Damn, I really picked up a life!" "But it's really strange that I dodged this iron plate, who is the voice of the man who told me to be careful in my ear? I looked around at the crowd around me who came back to see the excitement, sighed, and yelled angrily: "I've seen enough of the excitement, just come over and help me, I can't stand up!" ā
Just as I finished speaking, a very strong white fat man squeezed out of the crowd, wearing a fancy sweatshirt, holding an iPhone in his hand, and scolded: "One bear bag, this is squeezed for the fat man!" As he spoke, he walked quickly to me, pulled me and the woman up, comforted the woman on the side a few words, helped the woman hold the child, and then said to me with admiration: "Little brother, there is a kind, buddy admire!" What's the matter, there's nothing wrong with your body, right? ā
I waved my hand, and then I didn't even have the strength to speak.
Soon a large number of railway staff came to deal with the situation, and a middle-aged man who took the lead ran over to help me, and apologized vigorously, saying that the railway had repaired the roof of the station and that the locomotive had broken down.
I waved my hand and asked him to help the woman over there, and then said lightly, "I'm fine, the eldest sister and the child must be frightened, you take care of them, I have an urgent matter, I have to go." I turned and went down the aisle.
Seeing this, the fat man who helped me up hurriedly handed the child in his hand to the middle-aged man, and then followed me quickly, specially helped me out of the train station, and also helped me with my luggage, carry my packages, and help me call a taxi, especially pay for the fare in advance.
I hurriedly stopped and said, "Fat brother, you will see the outside like this, I have money on me." "Speaking of this, I feel bitter in my heart, if you have money, you have money, and there are ten dollars left.
The fat man glared and said, "What are you talking about, I haven't seen it, my brother really treats you as a brother, in that situation just now, if you want to let others go, who dares to sacrifice yourself to save you, what is this called?" This is called heroism, a model for the people, fat man, I love to make friends with people like you. ā
I scratched my head and smiled, "What a model, I'm just nosy, it's all as it should be." ā
The fat man said, "Don't say that, people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and they are willing to sacrifice themselves to save each other, that is a saint, my brother admires." ā
It's the first time I've been praised like this, usually at school, either being called a ruffian or being called a hooligan, this big hat area, my brain is dizzy, my face is hot, I don't know what to say.
Just when I was a little embarrassed, suddenly an impatient voice came from my side, "Hey! I said you two, you can't get in the car, I don't have time to listen to you two bragging about this!"
