Chapter 52: Hou Cong
Compared with the lively and active children of the factory and mine school, the children here seem much dull and stable.
When the adults went in to run errands, these children stood quietly here for more than ten minutes, and none of them made a fuss or spoke loudly.
There should be people who know each other, and they are just talking in a whisper, but in comparison, they should all know each other the children in the village, and the children in the mountains who are obviously not in the mountains are not together with them at all, and they are all standing there alone in silence.
But it's not like ordinary children, who are a little panicked if they don't find a partner, on the contrary, their expressions don't fluctuate, they look very indifferent, as if they should be like this.
Although I don't talk much, but in fact, in my mother's words, I am an 'ADHD patient', standing like this for more than ten minutes has long been my limit, I usually don't take the initiative to approach and talk to strangers, so I don't have any mood to get to know these children, but I actually want to run around and see.
However, these children are very stable, and standing in this clearing, I don't want to look like an other.
In the end, he could only stand quietly, just looking at these children's eyes more and more unscrupulous.
I was not interested in the children of the village, but I was curious about the children in the mountains.
Three of them were obviously older than me, and they must have sensed that I was looking at them, but the more they did, the more indifferent the expressions on their faces, as if my gaze had not been there.
One of them closed his eyes, and his face showed a maturity that was extremely inappropriate for his age.
The other turned his head to look at the sky beyond the courtyard wall, and there were words in his mouth, but there was no sound coming out, as if he was reciting something.
As for the last one, he was more steady, neither closing his eyes nor silently reciting anything, just standing like a straight javelin, his eyes full of energy, and when he looked carefully, his eyes did not fall on anything, in fact, he didn't know what he was thinking, right?
It was so boring, I watched it boringly, and I withdrew my gaze.
It just so happened that in the process of retracting my gaze, I came across another gaze, and the eyes of the two men collided, and I realized that it was a boy about my age who was also looking at them.
The boy was very funny and thin, but his eyes were very large, and he looked like a monkey.
I think he's funny, because I immediately thought of Monkey King, and the idea simply lingered.
Haha, a person who looks like Monkey King, thinking of this, I can't suppress my desire to laugh, and I can't help but hook a smile at the corner of my mouth, and laugh out with a 'poof'.
In the whole quiet environment, my laughter was unusually abrupt, except for the three old gods in the mountains, the other children looked at me curiously.
I don't blush, so what do I care about what others think? They didn't seem to be very interested, but they just looked at it, and then they turned their heads, and there was a girl staring at me one more time.
This girl shouldn't be a child in the village, I thought she was, after all, she was dressed well. Later, the children of the village gathered together, but she stood alone, like other children in the mountains, and I knew that she was not.
I didn't care about the eyes of others, but when this girl looked at me, I felt a little embarrassed.
Just because she is beautiful, prettier than all the girls here, no, in retrospect, she should be prettier than the girls in the whole grade when I was studying in the factory and mine elementary school before.
She is very white, although her eyes are not very big, but they are slightly raised, forming a good-looking angle, her eyes are not soft, but there is a feeling of pride and loneliness in them.
The nose is small and straight, the diamond-shaped lips are not big, but the color is very ruddy, and the whole person's expression looks like it is naturally blended with the pride in the eyes, and the whole person has a feeling of pride but not hate.
She was very tall, about the same age anyway, she was already as tall as me, you must know that I jumped up and down, and I was considered one of the tallest in the class, with black hair tied up in a ponytail, and as her head swayed slightly, the ponytail was also swinging.
I'm a very 'drag', I didn't pay much attention to people in the class before, anyway, there is no psychological burden to 'bully' girls or something, my mother once laughed and said that I was late in the open.
I don't know what this enlightenment means, but I know that I don't have a problem with a kind of girl, that is, a girl who 'pulls' more than me, just like the former class president of our class, who is indifferent to my provocation and never politely talks to me.
After repeating it again and again, I lost my temper with her, Zhou Zheng said that I was 'no temper, embarrassed', Chen Zhong said that he would simply 'clean up' her, for example, hiding a worm in her stationery box, but I refused.
Born like this, there is no way, so when this girl's eyes came over, I didn't dare to be so unscrupulous, my face was a little hot, and I simply lowered my head.
"Were you just laughing at me?" Just when I was a little cramped, a voice rang in my ears.
I was shocked, this voice is definitely very 'humorous', just like Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse in "Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse" that I watched when I was a child, or even the same? At that moment, I even had the illusion that Donald Duck had come to talk to me, and when I turned my head, it was 'Monkey King' standing behind me, with a pair of big eyes looking at me 'dripping' straight away.
He wasn't tall, just to my ears, and although he looked up, he looked lean, but he definitely had the immediate sense of a monkey standing in front of him.
I didn't expect him to ask the question so directly, and I didn't know how to answer it for a while, so I gritted my teeth, scratched my head and said, "Well, I couldn't help but laugh just now." ”
Seeing me scratching my head, he scratched his head as if he was deliberately imitating, and said, "Then why are you laughing?" ”
"Because you look like 'Monkey King'." I'm just going straight to the bottom.
"Who is Monkey King?" But his eyes widened, apparently not knowing what I was talking about.
I had a feeling that I was about to faint, it was a miracle that there were people in this world who didn't know Sun Wukong, and I couldn't help but make my voice a little louder, saying: "You haven't watched "Journey to the West"? ”
He shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, what is it?" Is it good-looking? I've heard of the seal."
Before he finished speaking, my heart swelled with a deep sympathy for him, he was really a child in the mountains, and he didn't even have to watch TV, so he couldn't help but say: "Also, you are a child in the mountains, and your parents should be hunting and collecting medicine in the mountains, right?" Forget it, let me tell you what Journey to the West is, right? ”
"Huh?" He was obviously stunned, but he was silent for a second or two, and didn't say anything? Instead, he nodded and acquiesced to me telling him about Journey to the West.
Monkey King as my first idol when I was young, Journey to the West as a TV that I watched several times repeatedly, I am naturally very familiar with it, I was originally idle and bored, and now there is someone who is willing to listen to me talk about Journey to the West, how can I not be happy?
So, I began to tell him about Journey to the West, he didn't listen to it very seriously at first, but then as I talked about the highlights, he couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows, and the more he listened, the more serious he became, and he danced with his eyebrows, and even jumped up and down, originally really like a monkey.
I couldn't help but get louder and louder, strangely, as if none of the children here had seen Journey to the West.
Gradually, some children from the village also came over and began to listen to me talk about Journey to the West, and even the proud girl turned her head from time to time to look at her, although her expression did not change much, and no one came, but the demeanor of her ear showed that she was also listening, and she loved to listen.
Later, except for the three 'immovable' children, all the children were attracted to me and listened to me talk about Journey to the West.
Although I don't like to take the initiative to speak, and others are too close, but in the end it is a child, the three of them have lived lonely for too long, and suddenly they are surrounded by such a lively life, and I am still happy in my heart, not to mention which child is not a little 'people are crazy', seeing such 'all eyes on me', I am dancing and talking more energetically.
When it comes to the wonderful place, I can't help but pull over the 'Monkey King', guide his movements, and let him cooperate with my speech on the spot to play the Monkey King, which provokes a group of children to laugh 'haha', at this time, even the proud girl does not turn her head, listens attentively, and will quietly purse her lips and laugh.
"Ye Zhengling, what are you doing?" Just as I was having fun, a voice came from afar.
I'm too familiar with this voice, and when I look up, who is it not Brother Zhengchuan? At this moment, he came out of those office places, looking at this side in surprise, obviously with some disbelief expression.
"Brother Zhengchuan, am I talking to them about Journey to the West?" I jumped up and waved at Brother Zhengchuan and said.
Brother Zhengchuan had a helpless and angry expression, walked over quickly, squeezed away the group of children, and kicked me in the ass with a 'snap', not heavy, but angry, he whispered in my ear: "Ye Zhengling, what the master said, I told you, did you forget to be clean?" ”
I looked at Brother Zhengchuan with dissatisfaction and said, "You didn't say that you can't make friends with others." ”
Zhengchuan was speechless for a while, stunned, next to him, the 'Monkey King' was still stupidly holding a bamboo pole I found behind his back, covering his eyes with his hands, and acting as an independent golden rooster.
I saw that Brother Zhengchuan was at a loss, and I couldn't help but add: "Besides, they haven't read Journey to the West, let me tell you what's wrong?" ”
At this time, Brother Zhengchuan reluctantly pulled the independent 'Monkey King' of the golden rooster, and asked him as if he knew: "Is the family okay?" This is my younger brother, and he should be in the same class as you in the future. ”
"It's fine." The Monkey King was stunned again, as if he had suddenly reacted, and replied to Brother Zhengchuan.
Brother Zhengchuan breathed a sigh of relief, but Sun Wukong smiled at me, more like a monkey, and he said to me: "Are you called Ye Zhengling, my name is Hou Cong." ”
Hou Cong? I was stunned this time, how can there be such a proper name in this world? Clever monkeys?
