The short story "My Roommate is a Zombie"
01
Zhang Xiaogang is a standard high school student, ******, with a workbook in his squeaky nest, and he looks like a wooden one. All day long, I either stayed in class, or lived a life of three points and one line in the dormitory and cafeteria.
He is very diligent, but his grades are just like that, occasionally he can take a high ranking, and most of the time he is hovering in the middle level. I don't have any big goals in mind, I just have to get by.
The teacher lectures every day, chattering a lot, and Zhang Xiaogang writes it all down in his notebook. There is a large stack of reference books, all of which are full of writing, and the wrong topics have been neatly corrected with a red pen.
Zhang Xiaogang thought that in this way, he would be able to survive the difficult days of high school in peace and tranquility. But the unexpected came.
02
Zhang Xiaogang, such a peaceful and self-guarded person, would actually encounter a group of hooligans.
He was taken to a remote corner, and when he arrived, a crowd of people looked at him with fierce looks. Before he had time to run, the hooligan head rushed over and grabbed Zhang Xiaogang's neckline, revealing a "Jacky Cheung" expression to him.
"Did you steal my money? Three hundred yuan!" The hooligan pushed Zhang Xiaogang, Zhang Xiaogang had never encountered this kind of thing, and he was very aggrieved, he lowered his head and did not speak.
The hooligan slapped him in the face with a crisp sound. Zhang Xiaogang's face was covered with a red slap print, which was hot and painful.
The hooligan demanded that he pay back the money, and the hooligans around him spat on him, kicked and beat him, and demanded that he pay back the money.
Zhang Xiaogang only felt that the whole world was darkened, and the sunlight was all blocked by the few people in front of him, and he couldn't see anything.
Zhang Xiaogang buried his head in his arm, and tears couldn't stop flowing down. He couldn't beat these people, he didn't dare to resist, and he didn't have any money. He wished Spider-Man showed up to save him.
03
Spider-Man didn't appear, but a large group of spiders came.
Where had those little rascals seen such a terrible sight, crushing a swarm of spiders and crawling towards them at a high speed.
The hooligan head screamed and fell to the ground, and saw that the few little hooligans next to him had already run away, and the hooligan head was so frightened that his pants were wet, and the urine leaked through his pants, making a puddle of liquid under his buttocks.
But the spider did not stop, and crawled endlessly, crawling up to the head of the scoundrel and his face, until he fainted with fright, and lay in his own urine.
Zhang Xiaogang heard the screams of the hooligans, raised his face, and saw a large group of spiders, although he was also very scared, but when he saw that the little hooligans were scared away, he had an inexplicable good feeling.
The spider stopped when it got to the rogue head. After the hooligans were dizzy, the spiders dispersed in an orderly manner like soldiers who heard Mingjin.
Zhang Xiaogang saw that the danger was lifted, got up from the ground, stopped crying, and patted the dust on his body. He took off his glasses, wiped away his tears, and looked vaguely at the scattered spiders, dazed.
04
Zhang Xiaogang felt that it was the spider who saved him, and he vowed in his heart that he would never kill a spider again in the future. But as soon as he finished his vow, he accidentally stepped on one of them when he raised his foot.
"Well, let's take back what I just said. Zhang Xiaogang muttered to himself, he didn't chase after him to see where the spider was, but returned to the bedroom alone.
As soon as he went to bed, he immediately grabbed the arm of a young man who was angry and asked, "Wu De, you are really lacking in virtue, why did you give me a note asking me to go to that hellish place!"
Wu De opened his hand, crooked his mouth, squinted his eyes, looked very dragged, and said impatiently to him: "You are annoying all day! You also stay up late in the dormitory to memorize words! I don't want to sleep!"
After Wu De finished speaking, he slammed the door hard, and Hang Erlang left.
As soon as Wu De left, a strange, pale guy with no blood came in and said, "Wu De and I have changed bedrooms, I am your new roommate, my name is Baibai." ”
"Oh, hello, my name is Zhang Xiaogang. We live in the dormitory for two people, and it is a pleasure to meet you. Zhang Xiaogang extended a warm welcome.
In vain, he looks like he has leukemia, he is sick and weak, but who knows that his strength is amazing.
He got up with one hand, swept away a lot of rubbish underneath, and placed one of his old suitcases underneath.
Zhang Xiaogang tried it himself later, but he couldn't lift the bed even though he tried his strength to feed. But even if it was so weird, he didn't have any doubts.
05
He and Baibai get along very well, and the two are tired of being together throughout the day. Eating, reading early, and going to school, Zhang Xiaogang is inseparable from Baibai. Every time they walked together, Zhang Xiaogang kept talking, and Bai Bai smiled politely.
Only at night, the two of them don't have much time to get along. Zhang Xiaogang would go back to the dormitory to read a book after self-study every night, and when he saw it late at night, he lit the lamp and continued to stay up late to study. But he was nowhere to be seen, and even his old-fashioned suitcase disappeared with him. Then Zhang Xiaogang was tired and slept, and when he woke up the next day, he was lying on the bed in vain, and the box returned to its original position.
A simple person like Zhang Xiaogang probably won't feel strange, and he won't bother with strange things. But vain is so mysterious, even Zhang Xiaogang can't help but want to ask him what he goes to do every night.
Zhang Xiaogang forcibly suppressed the question mark in his heart and didn't bother Bai Bai, he felt that it was very rare to have a good roommate like Bai Bai. He reads and studies every night, and is not in the dormitory in vain, just because the two sides do not interfere with each other, and Zhang Xiaogang doesn't want to change roommates anymore.
If there was no midterm exam, Zhang Xiaogang probably wouldn't have discovered this secret, and everything would have gone on as usual.
06
The midterm exam is a big deal for a tireless person like Zhang Xiaogang, although he doesn't have any expectations, but he still has to go all out.
He studied day and night, and on the day the exam papers were issued, there were still many who couldn't, he grabbed his head with both hands and beat hard, but it didn't work.
The exam was over quickly. Zhang Xiaogang's heart was raised to his throat, he was thinking about announcing the results every day, and he was afraid of announcing the results. In vain, he still has nothing to do, and he doesn't see anyone all day long.
One day, Zhang Xiaogang couldn't help but hold Bai Bai and asked, "Bai Bai, you are like this, don't your parents care about you? Aren't they worried about your studies?"
As soon as Bai Bai, who has always been gentle, heard Zhang Xiaogang talk about his parents, his whole person changed. His eyes widened, his nostrils exhaled heavily, and his cheeks bulged, which seemed to scare Zhang Xiaogang a lot.
Zhang Xiaogang didn't dare to continue asking, he remembered that he hadn't asked which bedroom Bai Bai was from again, but he didn't dare to ask Bai Bai, so he had to go to Wu De.
Wu De was not in class, Zhang Xiaogang asked him about his tablemate, and learned that he was surfing the Internet in an Internet café with others.
Zhang Xiaogang didn't want to go to the Internet café, and an honest student like him had to tremble when he heard the Internet café. Internet cafes are devil's caves and hells.
He wanted to wait for Wu De to come back, but the midterm exam results were suddenly announced. The class members ran to the class teacher's office in groups to check the results, although he was itching in his heart, he was still afraid that he would fail the exam.
Finally, he couldn't resist the desire to know the results in his heart, and came to the head teacher's office alone. Before I even entered, there was already a long queue in the office, and the line was outside the door.
He had to wait in line, and when it was his turn to check the results, he asked the head teacher. He waited for a long time, and the people in front of him checked the results one by one, squeezed through the door and left. Some are smiling, some are cloudy on their faces, and even a few more fragile girls are crying because they did too badly in the exam.
The team moved forward, and finally it was Zhang Xiaogang's turn. Zhang Xiaogang looked at the stern head teacher and didn't dare to take the initiative to ask. When the head teacher saw that it was him, he called him over.
Zhang Xiaogang couldn't believe that he did so badly in the exam this time, which can be said to be the worst since the high school exam. The ranking has dropped badly, almost in the top 10.
The head teacher said to him earnestly: "Zhang Xiaogang, you have to be stable and steadfast, don't be impetuous, don't talk to the air all day long, it looks like a neurotic, and sooner or later you will really have a brain problem!"
The head teacher's words were like a muffled thunder, blowing up his whole person into indistinct areas. He asked again in his heart what it meant, what to speak to the air.
Zhang Xiaogang was confused, and for the first time spoke loudly to the head teacher, asking, "Teacher, what's wrong with me?
The head teacher was also very strange when he saw him, and explained: "The head teacher told me that when you walk every day, you talk to the air, walk all the way, talk all the way. I've seen you do that a few times. ”
The head teacher's next words completely broke Zhang Xiaogang's heart. The head teacher continued: "I know that the relationship between you and Wu De is very stiff, and you are very angry with him and feel uncomfortable. But he moved to live outside the school alone, why do you have to be so careful, be careful, and behave in a bad way. ”
"Wu De moved out and moved outside the school?" Zhang Xiaogang had ten thousand questions about Bai Bai, and at this moment, these question marks drowned him below like a flood.
07
Zhang Xiaogang nodded blankly after listening to the head teacher's lecture, and he didn't listen to what the head teacher said later. His whole body flew to Baibai, and he kept thinking about what was going on in Baibai.
"He suddenly came to the dormitory, saying that he had changed his bed with Wu De, and after that, I often walked and chatted with him, and he didn't see anyone every night, and I didn't know which class he was from. Zhang Xiaogang kept counting the mysteries on Bai Bai in his heart.
He went back to the dormitory, but he couldn't find it. He thought about it for a while, and finally decided to go to the Internet café to find Wu De. He wanted to make sure if Wu De had really moved out.
He asked his classmates where the Internet café where Wu De often went was. Then he walked straight to the Internet café.
When he arrived at the Internet café, Zhang Xiaogang hesitated for a while, and his raised foot shrank and shrunk, but after thinking for a few minutes, he still stepped in. Zhang Xiaogang immediately entered the Internet café with all his own.
Rows of computer desks, rows of heads, rows of headphones, rows of games on monitors.
Zhang Xiaogang took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and put them back on. Carefully searched for the immoral young man who was in the flow. "There!" Ten meters away, he looked ahead, and a person shaking his head in the row in front of him was easily noticed. Zhang Xiaogang is very familiar with Wu De, Wu De shakes his head all day long, and there is a handful of yellow hair on the back of his head.
He walked over and patted the man on the shoulder, and the man turned his head with the familiar deflated face. "What are you doing here?" Wu De asked angrily when he saw that the person who patted him on the shoulder was Zhang Xiaogang.
Zhang Xiao was just about to say that he was here to ask him if he had changed his bedroom. Both hands were placed heavily on his shoulders. When he turned around, it was actually the rogue head and his men from before!
The head of the scoundrel sees him like a mouse that has stolen something, and his eyes are full of fire. He punched Zhang Xiaogang: "I actually let me see you again! Aha! Last time, you kid pretended to be a ghost and made a bunch of spiders and caused Lao Tzu to pee his pants, how do you say to compensate for the loss!"
Zhang Xiaogang couldn't reason with this barbarian beast at all, and several brothers of the hooligan head were also playing games on the side, and when they saw the eldest brother getting up to fight, they all got up and surrounded Zhang Xiaogang in the middle. He can't escape now.
There are too many beatings in Internet cafes, and the boss only cares about his own computer, and he doesn't care about people's lives or deaths. Zhang Xiaogang couldn't call anyone to save him here.
"Okay, I'll pay you money! Three hundred for you!" Zhang Xiaogang brought money with him this time, and he wanted to settle things. He took three red bills out of his coat pocket and handed them to the rascal's head. The gangster took the bills and counted them, but shouted to him, "Fuck you!
The rogue head is like a mad dog, not reasonable at all, and is about to be punched again.
"Wait! gold or not!" a voice came softly from outside the pile, sounding soft and weak.
"Yoh!gold?" The head of the scoundrel turned to look at the source of the sound, where a young man with a pale face was standing, carrying a suitcase in his hand.
Zhang Xiaogang also looked over. "In vain!" he said, surprised, and couldn't help but make a sound out of his mouth, but no one heard.
"Yes, gold, this is it!" he put down the old-fashioned suitcase in his hand, then opened it, lifted the upper layer of clothing, and took out a golden strip from underneath.
"--- gold!" everyone exclaimed.
In vain he threw the gold bar towards the hooligan's head and feet, and the gold bar fell to the ground with a metal crashing sound.
When the group saw the gold bars fall to the ground, they all fought frantically like dogs that had been hungry for days. Taking advantage of the chaos in the crowd, he took Zhang Xiaogang's hand and ran out.
08
"What the hell is going on?" took Zhang Xiaogang to a secluded place in vain, and as soon as he stopped, Zhang Xiaogang asked him.
Silence in vain. Zhang Xiaogang didn't speak.
In vain, he finally said: "I am a zombie in the underworld, as long as I don't want to, normal people can't see me, I saw you being bullied that day, so I helped you." Seeing that you are very funny, I observed you and found that you were very interesting, and it happened that your roommate left, so I found an excuse to stay with you for a while. ”
Bai Bai said again: "I know that you have many questions in your heart, you don't need to ask, I will tell you all at the same time." I'm going to work at night, to help the geists guide the way. My box is full of spiders, because I was bitten to death by spiders when I was alive, so I can't do without spiders after becoming a zombie. ”
"It's all spiders?" Zhang Xiao just wanted to ask about the gold, but disappeared in vain.
"The gold is mine!" the hooligan snatched the gold bar from Wu De's hand, held it in his arms, and before he could touch it a few times, he felt that the squeeze in his hand became soft, and then felt very itchy, as if something was crawling.
The hooligan looked down and let out an exclamation, his crotch was instantly soaked, and a smell suddenly spread in the Internet café......
09
"In vain, bye-bye. After Zhang Xiaogang's college entrance examination, his uncle, who worked as a police officer at home, said that he would reward him, and Zhang Xiaogang told his uncle that he only needed to look at the files of local students who died unexpectedly.
Uncle couldn't resist him, so he agreed. Zhang Xiaogang checked for a long time, and finally found a dossier that "in order to save his younger brother, his brother caught a poisonous spider with his bare hands and was unfortunately bitten to death by a spider".
Zhang Xiaogang looked at the white and yellowed photo on it and felt a little sad. He checked again where Baibai's house lived and decided to go there and have a look.
After a few hours on the bus, Zhang Xiaogang arrived at his destination. He followed the house number and found a small house. He walked over, slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly.
"Ding Dong!" Zhang Xiaogang pressed the doorbell, and the door opened. He looked at a young man who looked exactly like Bai Bai and was about the same age as himself, and exclaimed excitedly, "Bai Bai!"
The man was stunned: "I am his brother for nothing." If it's okay, I'm going to go to xx university. ”
"It was such a coincidence that I was also admitted to XX University. Zhang Xiaogang was a little disappointed when he heard that he was not in vain, but when he heard about XX University, he was overjoyed.
"In vain, bye-bye. Zhang Xiaogang waved his hand behind him.
