Chapter 13 Perhaps, I can make friends with him
The "person" in the dream and the figure in the photo gradually coincide.
The only difference is that the little boy in the dream is holding a black and red ball, while the ball in the photo is colorful.
It's definitely him!
The little boy who chased Zheng Kai twice in a deep dream.
Zheng Kai took a deep breath, tried his best to calm his tone as usual, and pointed his finger at the little boy: "Grandma, what is this child's name?" ”
In the dream, Zheng Kai only knew the little boy's number: No. 14.
This is obviously not a normal personal name.
In the whole kindergarten, the little boy has the highest hatred for him.
Of course, now there is one more "person", that is, the scarlet eyes that seriously injured Zheng Kai.
In addition, Li Bo's attitude towards Zheng Kai was lukewarm.
The other children in the kindergarten have a slight increase in their favorability towards Zheng Kai.
If Zheng Kai wants to live safely in the kindergarten, he must "handle" the relationship between himself and the little boy.
Or wipe him out completely!
Either.... Be friends with him.
Zheng Kai thought about it for a long time last night and felt that the feasibility of the second method was relatively high.
The old man seemed to be very impressed by this little boy, and after taking a look, he quickly replied to Zheng Kai: "His name is Shu Fu." A very poor child, at that time, in the kindergarten, he was the most sick, and the other children did not want to play with him. ”
"Every day, I just squatted in the corner with a leather ball, or looked at the ants on the ground, and didn't say a word for a day."
For some reason, Zheng Kai's heart was touched.
He thought about his childhood.
Since kindergarten, Zheng Kai has been like an invisible person, not good at talking and chatting, and not good at making friends.
Many times, a word is not spoken in a day.
This is the case in elementary school.....
That's how it was in junior high school......
It's still the same in high school.
The situation did not improve slightly until the university, and Zheng Kai, who was dull and talked little, made his first friend, Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang's mouth was broken.
When he first met Wang Qiang, Zheng Kai's ears were often filled with Wang Qiang's nagging.
After listening a lot, Zheng Kai also slowly began to talk and chat.
He began to try to live a normal life, trying to overcome his unsociability.
Because of this, Zheng Kai is very grateful to Wang Qiang in his heart.
If it weren't for his appearance, I would probably still be an autistic patient who keeps his mouth shut and can't communicate with normal people.
At first, Zheng Kai was wary of the little boy.
Just like he thought before, the only person he could trust was Wang Qiang, and Zheng Kai couldn't trust anyone else.
But now, Zheng Kai wants to hear about the little boy.
He wanted to hear what happened to this little kid who was very similar to him before.
"What's wrong with him?"
Zheng Kai asked softly.
The old grandmother took the album from Zheng Kai's hand, leaned back in the chair, and while stroking the photo, she recalled and spoke: "Albinism and squamous cell carcinoma are in an advanced stage. ”
"Twenty or thirty years ago, the medical conditions at that time were much worse than now, and there was no good treatment for albinism and squamous cell carcinoma, which could be delayed day by day."
"In a group of children with normal skin color, he became an outlier, and the other children felt that he was not clean and did not want to play with him."
Zheng Kai pondered for a moment, and asked with some curiosity: "What is squamous cell carcinoma?" ”
There were many cancers he had heard of, but squamous cell carcinoma was indeed the first time he had heard of it.
"I don't understand either, until I saw the child's back once, the whole back is rotten dead skin, pus and blood flowing, I don't know that this child endures pain every day, but he never speaks, doesn't cry or make trouble."
Hearing this, Zheng Kai couldn't help but clench his fists and purse his mouth.
He ...... Still alive? Where is it now? Zheng Kai lowered his head and didn't let himself look at the photos in the album.
Compared with Shu Fu, his childhood is actually not miserable.
The old woman shook her head.
Zheng Xingxing had a premonition, but after really confirming the news, he felt sad for a while.
For a moment, Zheng Kai wanted to go back to the deep dream and see this child again.
Zheng Kai, who was in a low mood, became silent.
He found his own kind, but the child died more than twenty years ago.
The old grandmother continued to flip through the photo album, and after falling into the memory, she didn't need Zheng Kai to ask at all, she said everything about the year by herself.
Zheng Kai listened silently throughout the whole process.
Every word that the grandmother said, Zheng Kai remembered in his heart.
An hour later, the grandmother put the album back together.
"I don't know where you met my wife, but if you can still see him, I want to ask you for something."
The old grandmother's eyes poured tears, she waited for more than 20 years, and looked for more than 20 years!
This area is under construction every day, and this small house could be bulldozed at any time, but she has been guarding it for more than 20 years.
A rough calloused palm gently took Zheng Kai's hand, and the other hand patted the back of Zheng Kai's hand: "I shouldn't be able to keep this house, I'm also old, I can't live for a few days, I don't want to come back, I understand." ”
"I don't blame him for what happened back then."
Zheng Kai lowered his head.
His body trembled slightly, not knowing how to answer.
After a long time, Zheng Kai raised his head, replied with a smile in his slightly red eyes: "If I can see Li Bo again, I will tell him." ”
"Let's go, I'll tell you everything I know."
The old woman waved her hand, reopened the photo album, and stayed on the first page to read for a long, long time.
The door to the courtyard slowly opened.
Zheng Kai walked out and gently closed the door.
Standing on the side of the street, Zheng Kai looked at the construction site not far away, a modern building has a basic outline, and in a short time, the northwest urban area will get rid of the word backwardness and no longer drag down the development of Zhi'an City.
Standing in place for a long time, Zheng Kai wandered along the street.
He's getting to know the city anew.
Not long after, Zheng Kai walked outside the iron gate of Zhi'an Kindergarten, and unlike before, this time the iron door was open.
There were a lot of people weeding inside, and some construction workers were comparing the drawings, as if discussing what kind of building should be built after demolishing the old buildings.
Zheng Kai didn't go in.
He stood silently at the iron door for a long time, then turned to leave.
Back home.
Zheng Kai lay on the sofa, closed his eyes and pondered.
He felt his mindset change.
He initially just wanted to live, unlike to become a second Liao Fan.
But now, he wanted to understand the so-called dream world in the true sense of the word, although he didn't know what this dream meant to him, and he didn't know why he dreamed all this.
But he wanted to treat the "people" in the dream as if they were real people.
Just like Wang Qiang did to him at the beginning, treat these "people".
Intellectually, the idea is not good.
But emotionally, Zheng Kai really wanted to do it.
This emotional heaviness gradually overshadowed Zheng Kai's rationality, making him gradually firm up his thoughts.
Perhaps, he could make friends with those "people".
