Chapter 4: The Age of Lies
Ling Ke is a transfer student, and Mr. Huang, who is in charge of admissions, first conducted an entrance test for him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe first question is to ask him how old he is.
"Nine." Ling Ke replied timidly, his eyes full of childishness. That's why with this look, Zhang Ying told him that he must integrate into the school like an ordinary child in the future, otherwise he will be regarded as an outlier.
Hearing his answer, Teacher Huang smiled, "I think you are six or seven years old." ”
"No, no, I'm really nine years old."
Teacher Huang ignored the question for the time being, and then took a second test, asking the freshman to count Arabic numerals, from 1 to 100.
This was too pediatric for Ling Ke, but he still took it seriously, and even deliberately paused for a moment at some point, to finish the task a little jerky.
In this way, he was admitted to school. After returning from school on the first day, Zhang Ying asked him with interest, "Did you take an entrance test?" It's going well. ”
"Well, it's passed. As you might expect, they asked me two questions, and I answered them as you had told me in advance. So why is it the only way to pass the test? ”
"Because, there is a rule in the school that you cannot enter school if you are not older than eight years old. But all parents are looking forward to their children, and in order to receive education as soon as possible, they all report an extra year or two. Then there is the counting test, if you are too fluent, you will be considered to be old and unable to count, that is, there is a problem with your IQ, so only if you count enough to count a hundred, you will look like an eight or nine-year-old child. Zhang Ying patiently explained to him.
"So, lying, is a common phenomenon in this world?"
"Well, everybody is like that, and over time you get used to it. Especially your dad, he is a master of lying, and I haven't heard him tell a few words of truth for so many years. ”
"It's horrible." Ling Ke muttered to himself. Hearing Zhang Ying's words, he felt deeply worried about whether Ling Sanbao would betray himself.
"But there are also good people, such as Lei Feng, you learned it in class, right?" Zhang Ying asked.
"Yes, I learned it in the Reflection class. He seems to have helped the old man cross the road a lot. ”
When Jingying heard this, her expression became solemn, and she approached him and said, "Son, you must not help the current old lady cross the road, they will fall to the ground and pretend to be dead to blackmail." Even if you are an alien, they will never let you go and ask you to pay a lot of money. ”
"Huh? Could there be such a thing? Ling Ke became more and more worried, and secretly glanced at a steel knife thrown in the corner of the wall, which was used by Ling Songhua for hunting.
In the evening, Zhang Ying went to the neighbor's house to chat, and Ling Songhua watched TV at home and drank alcohol.
Ling Ke saw that he was drinking with relish, so he took a small cup, poured it full for himself, and asked, "Dad, can I taste it?" ”
"No, children can't drink. When I go to school tomorrow, my mouth is full of alcohol, and the teacher will talk to me. ”
"I'll just drink a little, it's okay." Ling Ke pleaded as he took the cup and held it high, "Dad, I toast you with a cup, I wish you happiness and wealth!" ”
"Listen to that!" Ling Songhua's heart was full of joy, and he touched the cup with his son on the spot, and drank it all. And pointed to the residual wine in Ling Ke's cup and said, "Son, drink it, there is nothing left over for the toast." ”
Ling Ke coughed twice, thumped his chest a few times, and took a few more mouthfuls of food before he calmed down. Through the analysis of the chip in the palm of his hand, he figured out the chemical composition of it. For a while, I couldn't figure out why this mixture of ethanol and lactic acid made my father so obsessed.
"Don't patronize the food, you can't toast alone, at least four in a row." Ling Songhua taught his son the wine culture of the world.
After three glasses and two glasses, Ling Ke became a little familiar with the technique of making wine, and after seeing that his father was already drunk and staring, he tried to toast him with an empty cup, and tried to coax him to be happy with the toasts he had just learned such as the Four Seasons of Fortune. After a while, Ling Songhua was lying on the table, first whimpering in his mouth, and then only snoring was like thunder.
Ling Ke saw that the time had come, so he picked up the steel knife from the corner of the wall and held it in his hand, quietly left the house, and ran towards Ling Sanbao's house, which had already stepped on it during the day.
Next to a small river at the edge of the village, Ling Ke found the small courtyard. He tried to push the door down, and when he saw that it was locked, he looked down at the two-meter-high blue brick wall, which shimmered in the sharp, cold light of the glass forks in the moonlight.
He put the knife in his mouth, subconsciously stretched out his palm, and thrust his fingers into the wall, a huge pain arose from his fingertips, and only a few shallow fingerprints were poked out of the wall, and a wisp of dust burst out with a bang.
Ling Ke saw that this plan could not be achieved, so he had to take a few steps back, add a run, and leap up to the wall. But the body hit the waist of the wall and fell.
After several attempts and failed to jump, he saw a slightly concave and convex brick corner on the wall, so he jumped up with all his might, stepped on the corner of the brick with his left foot, and shrugged down violently, so that he successfully climbed over the wall and landed in Ling Sanbao's courtyard.
He crept under the windowsill, listening to the gentle snoring sound coming from inside, and then slowly stood up, raised his right hand, and with the help of the red glimmer emitted from his palm, the shadow was full of shadows, Ling Sanbao's bed happened to be close to the window, and he was sleeping soundly on his back.
In the courtyard, near the window, there is a row of messy flower stands, on which are placed several pots of half-dead flowers, mixed with weeds more than half a meter high that grow on the ground.
Ling Ke got down from the weeds, picked up a few small pebbles on the ground, and flicked one of them with his index finger, and smashed it on the window with a thud.
Ling Sanbao's snoring stopped for a moment, and after coughing a few times, it was still the same. So Ling Ke popped out another stone, and this time the snoring stopped abruptly, and there was a squirming sound.
"Who?" With an exclamation, a figure appeared at the window.
Ling Ke smiled lightly, shook his index finger, and threw another one on the window glass. The people inside disappeared into the window, and with a burst of rapid footsteps and the sound of a hurried door opening, Ling Sanbao appeared in the courtyard with a shotgun.
"Who? Get the hell out of here! Ling Sanbao walked back and forth with his gun, and when he searched all the corners of the yard and found nothing, he paused and walked straight towards the flower stand, the muzzle of the black hole was getting closer and closer to Ling Ke.
Ling Ke held his breath, exerted all his strength, and threw a stone at the courtyard gate in the distance, Ling Sanbao turned around and ran to the door, shouting, "Who! Come out! ”
At this moment, a black shadow jumped up from under the grass and swooped down from behind Ling Sanbao, he was thrown into the mud, and the shotgun in his hand had already been captured by Ling Ke.
Ling Baokong turned around in horror and exclaimed, "Ah, it's you! ”
"Uncle Ling, I'm sorry!" Ling Ke raised a cold light, and the steel knife in his hand stabbed into Ling Sanbao's throat!
At the same time, a dull and dense burst of gunfire erupted from outside the courtyard gate, and the wooden door was violently scattered, and two masked armed men broke down the door, holding two AK47 rifles equipped with pins, and appeared in front of Ling Ke.
"Don't move!" The muzzles of two smoke-emitting black holes were aimed at Ling Ke's head.
With a thud, the steel knife slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, and Ling Ke raised his hands. An armed man stepped forward to push him away, picked up the trembling Ling Sanbao, put his back against the wall, and held a gun to the back of his head.
At this time, a tall figure walked in, came to Ling Ke's side, bent down and picked up the steel knife on the ground, rubbed it in his hand, smiled bitterly, and said in a slightly vicissitudes of life: "At a young age, killing people is like taking grass mustard, it seems to be very cruel!" ”
Ling Ke raised his head, looked into the eyes of the middle-aged man who was staring at him, and said with a cold smile: "Don't bother, if you want to kill or chop it, you can do whatever you want." ”
"Well, I'll fulfill you!" The middle-aged man took out a pistol from his arms and pressed it against Ling Ke's forehead.
