Chapter 9: Mortal Dreams

Walking out of the company, Zheng Pei ran away! The cold feeling in the air became lighter and lighter, and he felt that his fear of Ba Niang was getting farther and farther away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Because his legs were a little numb because he had stood for too long, Zheng Pei stepped on the dark stairs and rolled all the way down the stairs from the second and a half floors, and the whole person lay flat on the ground. The dizziness and pain all over his body made Zheng Pei almost breathless, and he looked at the flashlight that kept flashing on the side, and tears welled up in his eyes. He can resolve all the difficulties in life with hard work and patience, but in the face of such a terrifying female ghost, Zheng Pei can only feel his weakness and incompetence deep in his heart. He thought of his mother, remembered the poor home in the mountain village, and he wanted to go back. But he knew that he had nowhere to escape, just like a moth under the street lamp, and it was only his fate to die on the lampshade sooner or later.

As for tomorrow night, Zheng Pei doesn't want to think about it anymore......

"Xiao Zheng!" Uncle Zhang's voice suddenly came from the corridor, Zheng Pei was shocked, and sat up in pain.

"Xiao Zheng! Where are you? Uncle Zhang shouted as he came up the stairs. Zheng Pei picked up the flashlight and limped up to meet it.

"Uncle Zhang, why are you here?" Zheng Pei pretended to be surprised, his heart was churning and tangled, thinking about whether to tell him about last night's incident.

"What are you doing, kid? I've woken up, why haven't you gone back yet? ”

"Oh, I want to keep watch, don't let the thieves in again." Although he was very weak-hearted, Zheng Pei still worked hard to round himself up.

"Oh," Old Man Zhang nodded, "Okay, hurry back, when is this time, it won't come." ”

"Hmm." Zheng Pei agreed and followed Old Man Zhang downstairs. Zhang ...... Uncle Zhang ......" Zheng Peiyu called out hesitantly, but he didn't know if it was because the voice was too small or the old man Zhang's ears didn't wake up, so he didn't pay attention to it and walked out of the building directly.

I'll talk about that next time. Zheng Pei swallowed all the words back into his stomach and walked stupidly. When he was about to walk out of the building, he instinctively glanced back, and this glance almost scared him out of his pants!

Ba Niang stood at the staircase on the first and a half floors, pinching the small hair ball, and watching him quietly......

School life is plain and quiet, and the ringing of bells and the fragrance of books compose the music of youth. Zheng Pei's eyes were red, his gaze was glazed, and his breathing was short, and he suppressed the storm in his heart to complete his homework and work. It wasn't until he left the library and walked towards the Cheng Sheng Building that he realized that his hands were still trembling slightly. Zheng Pei has departed from the life trajectory of a normal person at this time, as if he is a little mouse trapped in a labyrinth, his weak size makes him afraid of the unknown dangers ahead, it seems that it is wrong to go anywhere, but he has to go in order to survive. Now he misses his hometown all the time, he is familiar with every flower and tree there, and he can remember the gateway of every house in the village, even if he walks at night under the starlight, he will not feel afraid, he knows that his mother's care and nagging will definitely be waiting for him in the lamp, and he will be closer to home every time he takes a step forward, so no matter how far the road is, he will feel confident and happy. Now, the roads are sparsely populated with people and cars, and the lights of thousands of homes in the city are like fireflies climbing on dead trees. Zheng Pei walked alone on the way to the unit, casually kicking a small stone with a twisted appearance. A car sped away, leaving behind exhaust fumes that spread to Zheng Pei's face, choking and gruesome. As if annoyed by this annoying exhaust fume, Xiaoshizi was kicked out of the way by Zheng Pei. He looked up at the front and let out a long sigh, although the road to the unit had been walking, but at this time he did not know where he was going......

"Uncle Zhang." Zheng Pei walked into the guard room and said hello to Old Man Zhang listlessly.

"Oh, here we go." Old man Zhang was reading the newspaper.

Zheng Pei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he knew that Uncle Zhang's failure to speak meant that nothing had happened today. However, he still asked cautiously: "Uncle Zhang, is there anything going on today?" ”

"No, nothing." Old man Zhang stared at the newspaper without looking up, as if every report on it was much more interesting than Zheng Pei.

Zheng Pei was a little relieved, he put away his schoolbag, took the key and flashlight and walked out of the guard room. He hasn't slept at all since last night, every time he closes his eyes, Ba Niang's face immediately appears in front of him, and he simply doesn't sleep after that, compared to the worry about Ba Niang's unknown plan, he can resist the intrusion of sleepiness.

Zheng Pei came to the courtyard in front of the building, walking slowly alone, the stars in the sky seemed to be whispering affectionately behind him, comforting his tired soul. He walked to a tree, sat down slowly, and leaned against the solid trunk behind him, which made Zheng Pei's anxious heart feel much more at ease. Looking up at the night sky, fantasizing about wandering through it, untethered, a place that no one knows, sitting there like now, listening to the wind and rain, silent. Zheng Pei thought that it would be better for him to turn into a tree and plant it in his yard. In the spring, he can accompany his mother to watch the clouds together; In summer, he can shade his mother with lush branches and leaves; In autumn, he can give his mother the sweetest fruit; In winter, his dry branches can add a handful of firewood to her mother and ward off the cold for her.

Thinking of this, Zheng Pei leaned more lazily, his breathing became low, as if he was asleep, he looked up at the starry sky, and had a beautiful dream.

Ah, maybe he'll see a girl again. Zheng Pei smiled lightly. The two big braids are black and shiny, and the hands and feet are well-proportioned, and they will sound good when they laugh. She would give Zheng Pei a crooked sweater, and she would go with him to bake red, dig birds' eggs, catch hedgehogs, and maybe hang an oil bottle on her mouth when she was angry.

Zheng Pei suddenly remembered Yang Ni, she looked a little thin, and her temper was a little weird, but she was very beautiful, especially her eyes......

There was a biting coldness.
