Chapter 12: Birthmark Boy
When the students saw Teacher Pi, they ran over happily like a puppy discovering its owner who had just arrived home after work.
But when Pissi saw them, she looked like a wrongdoer had seen a ghost calling the door, and her expression of horror was like her crippled legs, motionless, fixed on her muscle-twisted face.
"Teacher Pi!" "Teacher Pi!" "Teacher Pi!" …… The children scrambled to scream, as if whoever screamed louder would be praised.
But the voices sounded strange to, like moans of pain, like whimpering of sorrow, like screams of sorrow, like a gloomy sneer. Her eyes widened like a burning torch, and if there was a mirror in front of her, she would be horrified by her appearance. She felt that the familiar faces of the students suddenly became extremely unfamiliar, and even unrecognizable—a crescent-shaped horn grew on Tang Jiang Yingge's head, a long and sharp fangs appeared in the mouth of Wei Wangbao, and Wu Ming's eyes were dripping with blood, and he quickly floated over like a ghost, and at the same time opened his bloody mouth......
Pissi felt that she was surrounded by those "ghost things", and suddenly the world was spinning and the wind was loud. The howling sounds of the devil were like a sharp saw, grinding back and forth against the flesh and bones below her knees, and in an instant the skin and bones were broken.
My left leg hurts! My right leg hurts! It hurts to the bone marrow, and it hurts to the heart! She couldn't help but close her eyes, hide her face and weep, and in an instant she couldn't help but scream. All she felt was her heart racing, she couldn't breathe, and she was shaking.
Suddenly, a pair of warm hands pressed her marble-like cold shoulders, and a flat voice penetrated into her ears: "Xiaoqian, don't be afraid! ”
As soon as the voice without any emotion sounded, the surrounding yin and yang strange voices immediately became blurred. Picey slowly opened her eyes, and saw a pair of eyes behind thick myopic lenses, a pair of mysterious and glowing eyeballs staring at her, which forced her eyes, which were still in a trance of panic, to look back intently.
"Xiaoqian, is your leg pain flaring up again?" Despite the noise of her surroundings, her voice seems to be able to override other voices and penetrate the bottom of people's hearts.
Pissi nodded reluctantly, apparently haunted her mind with the pain of the affected limb.
"Listen, Akane, take another deep breath. Close your eyes, lean your back against your wheelchair, fold your hands naturally flat, inhale through your nose, and imagine air freely entering your throat, trachea, lungs from your nostrils......"
Her voice was like an irresistible command, as if it came from the bottom of a human heart, and Pissi instinctively followed it.
At this time, some of the elementary school students around were frightened by Pi Qian's appearance just now, some shouted "Teacher Pi" in panic, and some made a noise.
Tang Jiang Yingge yelled at Wu Ming: "It's all you!" Mr. Pi didn't want to see you at all, it must be because he saw you that Mr. Pi became like this. ”
"Why do you say that?" Wu Ming retorted loudly, "Why didn't you stimulate Teacher Pi?" ”
His words seemed to anger the other classmates at the same time.
"You're talking nonsense!" A chubby little boy said, "Teacher Pi has always liked us, but she doesn't like you, just like we all don't like you." ”
"That's right, we don't like you at all!"
"That's it, Teacher Pi was harmed by you."
Children, you say a word, I say a word, gossiping, and there is a tendency to attack Wu Ming in groups.
After receiving everyone's support, Tang Jiangying Ge suddenly felt full of confidence, and mocked contemptuously: "Did you hear it, everyone doesn't like you, why don't you hurry up and get out, you annoying wild child!" ”
Although it is said that the child's words are unscrupulous, this sentence is like a cluster of flames, which detonates Wu Ming's anger. He stepped forward angrily and pushed Tang Jiang Yingge, causing her to take a few steps back one after another, and sat on the ground with her butt on her shoulder, the schoolbag on her shoulder fell to the side, and the pencils, erasers, scissors and other things in it were scattered all over the ground. But after all, girls develop earlier in childhood, and Tang Jiang Yingge is half a head taller than Wu Ming, and this fall is not a big deal, but her anger suddenly soars to the sky. She grabbed a small pair of scissors used in art class on the ground, stood up and pounced on Wu Ming. Wu Ming's strength seemed to be slightly inferior, and after a few rounds, he was obviously at a disadvantage, and as a result, she pushed him to his back to the sky, and the back of his head hit the ground heavily. Coincidentally, before he leaned back, Tang Jiang Yingge's right hand holding the small scissors was hit by his arm, and the small scissors came out of his hand, turned over and drew a strange arc in the air, and flew towards the right eye of Wu Ming, who was lying on the ground. The onlookers were either overly frightened and stood still, or they couldn't help but blindfold and scream. When Xie Sangqiu found out that the situation was not good, he was already out of reach.
Seeing that the tip of the scissors was about to be inserted into Wu Ming's eyes, at the last moment, a silver light flashed, and with a "bell", something hit the center of the scissors, and the scissors fell to the side in response. The silver thing was still rolling after it hit the ground, and it rolled back in a big circle. Xie Sanqiu could clearly see that it was a coin-like thing, but slightly larger than a normal coin.
At this moment, a delicate jade hand reached out and picked up the coin with its slender two fingers.
Xie Sangqiu looked at the beautiful face under the long flowing hair, and said, "Miss Long, you came really in time. ”
"Doctor Xie, thanks to your help, we have found some more clues."
Xie Sanqiu lifted his glasses and said, "You also suspect that the whole thing is related to that student named Wu Ming?" ”
Long Xirui nodded faintly. "Remember the family photo of the class on the bedroom wall? These students are all on that photo, but there is no Wu Ming. ”
Xie Sanqiu immediately looked around, and saw that the innocent faces of the students seemed to be able to match the innocent expressions in the photo. She had just looked at the family portrait on the wall and flipped through's photo album, so she still remembered the children's appearance vividly. She even vividly remembers that the family photo was taken exactly two weeks ago. And indeed, neither in the family portrait of the class nor in the thick photo albums, can not find the birthmark located near the right corner of the eye, let alone the boy with the birthmark. And here and now, too. The small scissors that had been knocked off by the coin were still on the ground in the distance, but the boy who had fallen nearby was nowhere to be seen.
"I'll go find him, and Xiaoqian will be handed over to you." The voice was still in his ears, and Long Xirui's people had drifted away.
As soon as Xie Sanqiu turned around, he found that Pi Qian was staring wide-eyed at the moment, her expression was stunned, and she was in a trance. I don't know what she's looking at or what she's thinking.
In the blink of an eye, Long Xirui chased to a crossroads.
"Night Hitomi, that kid is lost." The miniature walkie-talkie was embedded in her teeth, so no one ever noticed the communication between her and the night pupil.
"Don't worry, Ciri, I'm trying to find a way to cut into the camera system on the street." Electronic sounds came from tiny headphones hidden deep in her cochlea.
"Don't lose to a schoolboy."
"Ciri, if you're willing to say a few words, my chances are even greater. You know, I've got to crack a bunch of passwords. ”
"But now I feel like I've been penalized at this crossroads."
"Making a beauty wait and endure is not the style of the night pupil. yes! Get! Found him, 6 minutes ago, he turned left at your current location. ”
"It's good that this is a street, not an alley." After Long Xirui finished speaking, she walked briskly in the direction pointed by the night pupil, she believed that in the situation just now, Wu Ming would rush away like a down-and-out wolf, even if he was just a primary school student.
The streets are crowded at noon, and it is not so easy to find a child in the crowd. Just when they were hesitating, a middle-aged couple passed by Long Xirui, and only heard the woman say: "What a troublemaker, I ran crazy on the street at noon, and I didn't even apologize when I bumped into someone." ”
The man comforted: "The child is not sensible, he didn't break you just now, right?" ”
"Well, I'm not papier-mâché, so I'm out of the way."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Long Xirui immediately took a few steps, and finally saw a short blue back in the middle of the endless crowd, which was the color of the primary school students' uniforms. Although Wu Ming was still running hard, Long Xirui was still getting closer and closer to him.
Wu Ming crossed the road and turned into an alley, surrounded by tall buildings. Long Xirui followed him into a building and found a white-haired old woman sitting on the ground outside the elevator, her back leaning against the wall, her left hand supporting the elbow of her right arm, and the expression on her face could be described as extremely painful. There was a huge box beside her, and there were all kinds of things in it, cans, drink bottles, pots and pans, scrap copper and rotten iron......
"Grandma! What happened to you? Wu Ming screamed and ran over.
"Grandma's arm can't move, just now my foot slipped, and I couldn't move after my right hand hit the ground." Her voice was already shaking, and beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from her forehead.
"Grandma, what should I do now?" After all, he was a child, and Wu Ming was so anxious that he was at a loss.
Long Xirui stepped forward and squatted down to look at the old woman's right elbow, only to see that the elbow socket was full and the joints were obviously deformed. "Mother-in-law, your elbow is dislocated." She clasped the old man's upper arm with her left hand, grabbed her wrist with her right hand, and said, "Mother-in-law, bear with me." Before the words fell, she slammed her strength, only to hear the sound of "click", and at the same time the old woman moaned softly.
"My arm can move!" The old woman exclaimed in surprise, "I don't know how to thank you!" ”
"You're welcome, mother-in-law, I'll help you go home first." Long Xirui looked at Wu Ming after speaking and said, "Little friend, go and press the elevator." ”
Wu Mingzheng's eyes straightened, and he seemed to be stunned by Long Xirui's amazing pull just now. Hearing Long Xirui tell him to press the elevator, he hurriedly answered, with a numb expression on his face.
"My box." The old woman still remembers the box full of waste.
Long Xirui helped her into the elevator first, then turned around and pulled the box in.
The elevator stopped on the 10th floor, and the decoration of the old woman's home was very different from her box of "rags". The walls are inlaid with white oak, the floor is covered with high-end Persian carpets, and two delicate floor lamps glow softly even during the day.
"Xiao Ming, grandma's arm is inconvenient, you go and pour a glass of water for your aunt."
Long Xirui looked around at the furnishings in the room, and suddenly, like a lightning bolt in the night, Long Xirui's gaze was locked by something, it was a picture frame on the coffee table, on which a woman was warmly hugging a boy. Of course, that boy was Wu Ming, and that woman turned out to be He Like!
