Chapter 13: A Strange Sickness
The so-called "smart drug", "Platinum Brain No. 1", is a drug.
The "grapevine" quickly spread among the teachers, many of whom witnessed Dr. Wang being taken away by the police, and Principal Zhao Sihua then hurried to the Education Bureau. There are also students who know about this, and the teachers talk to each other and whisper when students pass by.
Teacher Tian Ding looked a little anxious and absent-minded when she came to the Chinese class. She stopped halfway through the text and watched the children ask a question:
"Students, have any of you ever taken 'Platinum Brain No. 1', which is that kind of 'smart drug'"?
The children were surprised by the teacher's sudden question. After a while, only a small hand was raised. Teacher Tian Ding looked over, it was Taishan's little hand. The teacher nodded, said "okay", and continued reading the text.
After class, Taishan grabbed Zhang and trotted and asked him in a low voice:
"Why didn't you raise your hand when the teacher asked me in class? You told me that your grandmother bought it for you, and you ate it. ”
Zhang Xiaotrot rolled his eyes and said:
"My grandmother only bought me one box, and her mother bought him ten boxes at a time. The fruit trees didn't raise their hands, so why do I have to raise them? That would be unfair!"
Tarzan found the fruit tree and asked him why he didn't raise his hand, but the fruit tree didn't answer at all, turned around and ran away.
The fruit tree gets rid of Tarzan, but comes to find Natsuba. When he saw Natsuba, he said:
"'Xueba', can you answer one of my questions?"
"What's the question?"
"What is 'drug'?"
Drugs? This stumped Natsuba. She'd heard the term, but she didn't know exactly what it was. It doesn't seem like a good thing. Hua Man, who was playing with her, took the initiative to stand up:
"I know. ”
The fruit tree immediately turned his head to look at Hua Man, and Zhang Xiaotrot and Taishan also came over, wanting to hear what was going on. There are also a few students who are also concerned about this issue.
"'Drugs' are not poisons, they are medicines, but they are poisonous. ”
"What's the poison?"
Hua Man thought about it:
"Is it poisonous, like mosquitoes, vipers, bees, scorpions, and those. Zhang Xiaotrot, didn't you get stung by a wasp two days ago? There are also toads, which are also poisonous. ”
"It's disgusting!" said Natsuba.
"I know why you're asking this question. Rest assured, the guy selling drugs has been caught. It was my dad who captured him. ”
At lunchtime, Tarzan sat in his seat in a daze, watching others walk by with plates. The smell of the food seemed to have lost its appeal to him today. Teacher Tian Ding asked him with concern why he didn't go to dinner, and he said that he was not hungry. Teacher Tian Ding is a little strange, this child with the biggest appetite on weekdays said that he is not hungry. She touched Tarzan's forehead, and it wasn't hot.
"Tarzan, are you feeling unwell?"
"I feel like my stomach hurts. ”
"Stomach ache, then don't eat lunch yet. Maybe it will be okay in a while. ”
Things are not as simple as Mr. Tian Ding thought.
Zhang Xiaotrot looked at the plate on the table, but he didn't eat a bite, but locked his eyebrows.
Teacher Tian Ding asked him:
"What's wrong with you?"
"My stomach hurts. ”
"Why do you have a stomachache too?"
Before the words fell, someone behind him said:
"Teacher, I also have a stomachache. ”
When I turned around, I saw that it was a boy fruit tree.
Teacher Tian Ding became nervous, could it be that there was something wrong with today's meal. On second thought, no, Taishan and Zhang Xiaotrot didn't eat at all.
Teacher Tian Ding wanted to report the matter to the principal, but Principal Zhao Sihua went to the Education Bureau and did not come back. Teacher Tian Ding went to find the school doctor, and the school doctor followed her to the classroom. At this time, the situation was even worse, and ten classmates shouted stomach aches together. The school doctor has not finished recording their names, and there are people in the classroom next to them who have "stomach aches".
The school doctor was very panicked and called Principal Zhao Sihua to report the incident. Ask if you want to contact the hospital, ask a professional doctor to come to the school, or take the children to the hospital. Principal Zhao Sihua asked her to observe the children's condition for a while, and he immediately rushed back to school. The school doctor went to the kitchen of the school cafeteria and asked the chef to carefully review every step of today's cooking to see if there were any mistakes.
The chaos at school caught the attention of the sparrow Xiaozha under the eaves. It flew around the school building. Stand outside this window for a while, listen outside that window. He watched everything that happened this morning in elementary school. Now it's flying into the park, and it's going to find Akang the raven.
Akon has also been keeping an eye on the primary school campus. Seeing Wang Daben being taken away by the police, he couldn't help but croaked a few times in the tree. It is applauded, and the day of the profiteer's bad luck is the time when the children are lucky. Afterwards, fly back to the park and stand on the old elm tree to enjoy the warm sunshine.
"Akang! There is a big thing, Wang Daben did not poison the children!"
"What? Poisoned? No. ”
It was so terrible that Akon immediately flew to the elementary school campus with Sparrow Xiaozha, and he wanted to see for himself what was going on.
Raven Akang made a preliminary judgment. First of all, the suspicion of lunch problems should be ruled out. Then suppose that Wang Daben's "smart drug" is really poisonous, and the child who said that he had a stomachache did take that medicine, but they didn't take it at the same time. Even if it is poisonous, it should not be attacked at the same time, and some of these children have never eaten it at all.
Therefore, the children are more likely to receive some kind of psychological suggestion, and they are afraid in their hearts, and they show some kind of physical discomfort. It is what is called "hysteria" in medicine. Children have strong imaginations, and sometimes "imagination" can get them in trouble. In a closed environment, children's emotions will affect each other, and "hysteria" will spread among children like an infectious disease.
Akon was not in favor of going to the children to get a doctor. If a doctor in a white coat appears in front of a child, it may increase their psychological burden and make the "condition" more serious.
"What should I do? I need help. ”
Akon was starting to get anxious. It discovers that Natsuba's desk is by the window, and that Natsuha is doing homework on the desk on a summer night. There's a way.
"Natsuba, is your grandfather at home?"
Natsuba looked at the clock on the wall and said:
"He's supposed to be taking a nap right now. ”
"Is he in the bedroom on the south side, or in the bedroom on the north side?"
"Small bedroom to the north. But do you know the address of our house?"
"I know, thank you. ”
The old headmaster is taking a nap when a nightmare breaks in. He dreamed that his granddaughter Xia Ye was lying on the desk, shouting that her stomach hurt. There were also some children around who also complained of stomach pain. It looks like it's in a school classroom. The shouting woke him up from his dream.
He sat up and put on his shoes, grabbed his clothes and went out, forgetting to even take his cane. The school is not far from the residence. He thought he had to see it for himself to be reassured, even if it was a dream.
The old headmaster was walking on the road, and a voice came:
"Old Headmaster, please stay. ”
"Who?"
The old headmaster looked around, there were not many people on the road. Looking up again, I saw a crow perched on a branch. The old headmaster understood, and he nodded at the crow.
Raven Akon said:
"I'm sorry I interrupted your nap. But some surprises did happen. ”
Akang the crow told the old headmaster everything that happened on campus from morning to noon. After hearing this, the old principal agreed with Akang's judgment. Then they discussed a way to help the child.
Principal Zhao Sihua hadn't returned to school yet, but the old principal appeared. Although he is retired, in the eyes of many teachers, he is a respected old man, and everyone is willing to trust him. The old principal pointed out that the children's "illness" was caused by psychological effects, and he asked the teachers to return to the class to try to divert the children's attention and relax their minds.
Teacher Tian Ding returned to the class and announced a temporary decision of the school: please play together.
"I didn't have classes this afternoon, and my homework was canceled today. From now on, everyone is free to move. You can go to the playground or go to the park, and the iron fence gate leading to the park at the back of the school has been opened. Children with stomach aches can stay in the classroom to rest. Everyone had to go to the grocery store in the park to pick up two bottles of mineral water and drink them before school. Now go play, you can run, you can jump, but you have to drink more water and sweat more. In this way you will become stronger, and you will not be afraid of any disease or poison. ”
The children immediately clapped their hands and cheered, and some immediately ran out.
Zhang Xiaotrot also ran out, and Taishan grabbed him and said:
"You can't go, your stomach hurts. ”
Zhang Xiaotrot said:
"Don't be afraid, my stomach won't hurt after I go out for a while. ”
Soon only Tarzan himself was left in the classroom. Tarzan thought: I should probably try the Zhang trot method as well.
This afternoon, the park is bustling with activity. The children were running and jumping on the grass and among the trees. Teacher Tian Ding reminded them loudly:
"Drink water, don't stand in the sun!"
Akang the crow stood on the branch of the tree, listening to the various cries of the children. I feel that the day can end satisfactorily.
Wang Daben was not really arrested. At four o'clock in the afternoon, he was allowed to go home. The laboratory of the anti-narcotics team of the Public Security Bureau conducted a number of chemical analyses on the "smart drug" invented by Wang Daben, "Platinum Brain No. 1", and did not find any drug components. The real identity of this "medicine" is a small snack that is common in supermarkets - "milk tablets". It is really infuriating and hateful to use "milk tablets" as some kind of smart drug to cheat people out of money. However, because there are no drugs involved, the anti-drug team should not be in charge. The Public Security Bureau notified the case to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau should punish the "production and sale of counterfeit goods".
When Wang Daben walked out of the public security bureau, he was still in a trance and had palpitations, as if he had a nightmare for a day. The "smart drug" is milk tablets, and he didn't expect this result at all. He took out his phone, found a phone number, and sent a text message:
"You goddamn liar! Give me back the money! Thank you!"
Early the next morning, Wang Daben appeared in the elementary school again. He drove away his car and went to the industrial and commercial bureau to wait for punishment. When he was taken away from the school by the police yesterday, his Mercedes sedan was still on the edge of the school's playground. The setbacks in his career have taken him a hard hit and a heavy heart.
The car had to stop as it was about to leave the school gate because the gate was open but someone was blocking the way. An old man, sitting on a mazaar, right in the middle of the gate.
Wang Daben lowered the window and shouted:
"Hey, you can't rest here!"
The old man raised his head and stared at Wang Daben, but did not get up. Looking at it, the old man suddenly raised his hand and threw away the crutch in his hand. With a "dang" sound, the crutch fell from the sky and smashed on the front hood of the Mercedes-Benz sedan.
Wang Daben has a merit in his body, and whenever he breaks out, he can quickly calm down for a moment, re-judge whether the situation is in his favor, and then take action. Wang Daben, who calmed down, recognized the old man, his homeroom teacher in elementary school, and the old principal here.
"Wang Xiaoli, you come over to me. The old headmaster's stern voice came.
Wang Da instinctively lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and had to get out of the car and walk over. Fortunately, it was still early, the students had not yet arrived at school, and the teachers had not yet arrived.
The old headmaster asked sternly:
"What the hell did you sell to the kid?"
Wang Daben replied in a low voice:
"I just want to make some money. ”
"How could you do such a thing?"
"I just want to make some money. ”
"Do you still have a conscience?"
"I just want to make some money. ”
The old principal was not only angry with this former student, but also disappointed and helpless.
The "smart drugs" were all seized by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and the turmoil was temporarily subsided.
The "smart drug" turned out to be milk tablets, and this news did not completely put Mr. Tian Ding at ease. Because she heard that someone was making fake milk recently. If milk is fake, isn't "milk flakes" fake?
