Chapter IX. Searching for the truth
There is no doubt that Fu Bin's eloquence is quite good. It quickly transports us to our elementary school days more than a decade ago. From the beginning of Tao Qi's entry into the water, to the collective panic of all the teachers, and finally to Tao Qi's stay under the water for more than 40 minutes, all the pictures made me and Xiao Qicai have an immersive feeling.
So after listening to it, I couldn't help but digest it for a while before I could continue to speak.
I said, "This is so strange, didn't anyone care about it at the time?" ”
Fu Bin in the video has already started to drink the third bottle of beer at this time, in fact, I want him to drink less and save a while to talk drunk, but looking at him, it seems that there is nothing wrong, and his tongue is not big, so I will no longer be nosy.
Fu Bin said very soberly at this time, "The society at that time was different from now. At that time, people were very simple, so after this incident came out, the physical education teacher just secretly told the principal, and the principal didn't think of anything else at that time, and directly persuaded Tao Qi to drop out of school. Alas, if it were now, I am afraid that Tao Qi would have to be imprisoned like a monster on the spot, and he would no longer be free. ”
At this time, all I can think of is that this Tao Qi and Tao Ling are indeed very similar, both have the ability to hold their breath for a long time, and there is no damage to their bodies, but Tao Ling seems to hold her breath longer, for 6 or 7 hours.
However, what else makes me wonder is why Tao Qi's attitude and personality suddenly become different from usual as soon as he encounters water?
The three of us discussed this in detail, because I think this is a very crucial entry point, and if we can find out Tao Qi's mentality at that time, it may help the whole thing.
Xiao Qicai's assumption is, "Tao Qi needs to replenish water all the time, so when he heard about going to the pool, his attitude was very different." Her basis is that Tao Qi likes to sweat a lot.
Fu Bin's inference was even bolder, he said that Tao Qi was simply a mermaid, able to walk on the ground at will like a human, and at the same time could swim freely in the water like a fish, so as soon as he got in the water, he changed his attitude.
But I think the two of them at least ignored the most critical point, that is, Tao Qi, why does he love to sweat, what is the special structure in his body, which is different from others, so he sweats at every turn, including Tao Ling, which is also like this.
Just when I was frowning and thinking hard, Fu Bin seemed a little bored to stay there, took out a cigarette, and lit it instantly with a "snap" of the lighter.
Seeing Fu Bin's action of lighting a cigarette with a lighter, I had an idea in an instant!
That's right!
Fire!
Tao Qi and Tao Ling's bodies must have a "fire", which roasted their whole bodies and heated their bodies, so they sweated from time to time.
So where does this "fire" come from? Even though I didn't study medicine, I quickly conjured up two words in my mind – body temperature.
Tao Ling and Tao Qi's body temperature must be higher than that of ordinary people, so Tao Ling can survive in an environment of about minus 40 degrees!
If it takes 6 or 7 hours for a normal person's body temperature to drop from 37 degrees Celsius to below 10 degrees Celsius, then Tao Ling's body temperature will definitely drop from above 50 degrees Celsius to about 30 degrees Celsius.
In this way, plus Tao Ling will hold her breath, it is very likely that when the avalanche comes, she will have nothing to do! On the other hand, Tao Qi's words are precisely because his body temperature is too high, so he often uses cold mineral water to cool down when he needs to, so when he sees the water, sees the pool, and thinks of being able to soak his hot body in the cold pool, he will be so excited, and his attitude is very different from usual!
Thinking of this, I felt that I had gradually grasped something, but it was not particularly clear, so then I asked Fu Bin again, "After the swimming pool incident is over, are there any other strange things that you have seen?" ”
Fu Bin said, "Yes! It's the one I told you last time, he was a child, and with one fist, he knocked down dozens of big men! ”
I said word by word, "It's okay, you can say it slowly this time, no matter what you say, I believe it!" ”
Fu Bin smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, sometimes I would rather forget about it, because many times I woke up in the middle of the night, I was so scared that I couldn't continue to sleep." ”
I comforted him, "If you speak up now, it will be much better for more people to share with you." ”
"Okay!"
Next, Fu Bin told us about an even more tortuous and bizarre experience.
After Tao Qi was persuaded to retire, Fu Bin thought that he would never see Tao Qi again from now on, looking at the empty seat next to him, Fu Bin suddenly became a little bad.
However, after school, Fu Bin was on his way home when he suddenly saw Tao Qi on the opposite side of the road. It was a bustling square with a fountain in the middle and a number of brand stores on both sides. At this moment, Tao Qi was squatting next to the fountain, carrying his schoolbag lonely, supporting his face with his palms, his eyes were red, and he looked as if he had just cried.
At a glance, Fu Bin felt that Tao Qi was not as terrible as he thought before, even if he dived for a long time, so what? And he didn't hurt anyone. Thinking of this, Fu Bin slowly and tentatively walked over and walked to Tao Qi's side, and then Fu Bin also squatted down beside Tao Qi.
Tao Qi saw Fu Bin's actions, but he never moved, like a stone sculpture, thinking about his thoughts. The appearance of two elementary school students squatting together in the fountain immediately attracted a lot of passers-by, Fu Bin saw that many people stretched out their fingers, pointed at Tao Qi and whispered, and he didn't know where the courage came from, and suddenly shouted in his immature and immature childish voice, "What do you see?" Go and do your thing. ”
Tao Qi glanced at Fu Bin with some surprise, and began to feel a little warm about his actions. Then, Tao Qi asked Fu Bin in a low voice, "Are you afraid of me like them?" ”
Fu Bin hesitated for a moment and said loudly, "I...... I'm not afraid of you, it's just that I want to get to know you. ”
Tao Qi whispered a few words, "Know me, understand me...... But I don't know myself! Then, Tao Qi instantly cried again.
Fu Bin hurriedly comforted him beside him, "It's okay, don't cry, those teachers and principals in our class are all bastards, you don't need to be sad, you will always find other schools to study." ”
Tao Qi cried and shook his head and said, "There's no chance, my dad doesn't want me anymore, and he has said before that this is my last chance to go to school!" ”
Fu Bin was stunned for a moment and said, "Your dad doesn't want you anymore?" Doesn't he want to take you home? ”
Tao Qi whimpered, "He came just now, beat me hard, and then left again quickly." He said that he didn't want me from now on, no matter how much trouble I made, he didn't care, and he didn't have to drag down the whole village. ”
At that time, Fu Bin didn't understand what it meant to drag down the whole village. He just felt that Tao Qi's father was also a bastard, and he didn't even want his own son, was he still a man?
Thinking of this, Fu Bin patted Tao Qi's shoulder, originally Fu Bin wanted to continue to comfort him, but when Fu Bin's hand just touched Tao Qi's shoulder, he suddenly retracted like an electric shock. At this time, Fu Bin noticed that there was a big hole in the clothes near Tao Qi's shoulder, which should have been made by his father who was extremely annoyed and torn by him just now. So just now, Fu Bin accidentally touched the skin on Tao Qi's shoulder.
But why does it feel so hot?
It's like touching the heating in a house with your hands that is 50 or 60 degrees Celsius in the northern winter, and you can't put your finger on it for more than 3 seconds.
But Fu Bin just thought that Tao Qi had a fever at the time, and later saw that his body kept shaking, and hurriedly said, "Tao Qi, you are sick and need to hurry home and take medicine!" ”
Tao Qi's eyes were red and he shook his head, "I don't have a home anymore." ”
Fu Bin thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, let my dad send you back, he has a jeep, we may be able to get you home safely before dark." By the way, where is your home? ”
Fu Bin's words rekindled hope in Tao Qi's eyes.
A teenager around the age of ten has been abandoned by his family, who doesn't want to go home right away? So Tao Qi quickly replied, "I don't know either, but I can find it." You...... Can you really send me there? ”
Fu Bin said, "Of course it's true, I'll call my dad, but we have to find a public phone first, I can remember his big brother number......
……
20 minutes later, Fu Bin's father really drove a jeep and saw the two children squatting on the ground, Fu Bin's father quickly asked what happened, when he heard that Tao Qi's father didn't even want his own son, Fu Bin's father was completely angry, he rolled up his arms and sleeves and whispered to the two children, "Get in the car, let's go to your house and find your father to judge!" I don't believe there are such ruthless parents in this world! ”
Next, according to the path pointed out by Tao Qi, Fu Bin's father drove faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, he moved away from the city and headed towards a mountain path.
The surrounding environment began to become more and more desolate and sparsely populated, and at this moment, the sky above his head began to get darker, Fu Bin's father finally felt that something was wrong, and while driving, he asked, "Tao Qi, how far is your home?" ”
Tao Qi replied, "It's soon, turn this corner again, and you can see a village, and that is my house!" ”
Fu Bin's father and Fu Bin were stunned at the same time, and Fu Bin's father asked, "Does your family live in a village in the mountains?" ”
Fu Bin asked, "Then where did you go back when you used to get out of school?" ”
Tao Qi shook his head with a very mysterious expression, indicating that he didn't want to answer any of their questions. At this moment, they finally saw the village, but when the three of them looked carefully at the situation in the village, they were soon surprised to find that the village was empty, and there was not a single shadow to be seen!
At this time, Tao Qi's body kept shaking, and he shouted in the car, "No! They literally all moved out again, and I was truly abandoned! ”
The echo kept hovering in the sky, and at this moment, it was as if even the wind had stopped!
