Chapter 5: The Wall
Zhen Hua, who was far away in Jianning, also saw this set of photos from the Internet, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. Whose daughter knows, Zhen Hua knows that she usually wants Zhen Wenxin to wear a skirt, and she doesn't know how Wen Zixin persuaded her to take such a cute photo in such a cute little dress, and she also agreed to let Wen Zixin use her photo to post on Weibo, which is a miracle, which really makes Zhen Hua cry and laugh.
At this time, Zhen Hua was already at the gate of the former high school, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar campus in front of him, he seemed to see the teenager who was desperately rushing out, using all his strength to escape from the cage, but he didn't know that what he was desperately escaping from was a paradise, and the situation he was in now was the edge of hell.
Zhen Hua is no longer a student of this school, standing alone at the gate of the school, there are no students in class, this school is deserted, only an elderly security guard is guarding the security booth, Zhen Hua does not think so, the best private high school in the city at the beginning, but after 20 years, it has been reduced to a ruin, who would have thought of it? Zhen Hua hasn't been back to Jianning for too long, it should be more than ten years since he calculated, this ruin seems so strange, and he is like this ruin, about to fall, time has passed, and the things that have changed are so similar to himself.
"Hey! That man! What are you doing sneakily at night! ”
An elderly security guard limped out of the security booth, holding a rubber rod and looking fierce, but in anyone's eyes, this was just a weak old man, and the fierce appearance was more like the fierce and powerless hideousness of the weak. Zhen Hua watched him walk towards him step by step, and didn't pay attention to it, he was just an ordinary middle-aged man dressed now, without a suit and leather shoes, and he didn't put on the majesty of a superior, but even so, no matter how ordinary a person is, he doesn't need to pay attention to the angry roar for no reason, he just stood at the gate of his alma mater and didn't do anything wrong.
But the old security guard had already grabbed him by the collar, and his big hands, like dead wood, trembled for some reason.
"I told you! This land is not for sale! Without the government's official documents, this land still belongs to Ling Feng School, and idlers are not allowed to enter, do you understand! ”
A hysterical old man, when he shouted this paragraph, he was so hoarse, he seemed to have misunderstood something, and indiscriminately linked himself with some bad people, Zhen Hua really suffered unharmed, but what could he do? Today's identity makes him no longer have the habit of solving problems with his fists, and he doesn't know how long no one has grabbed his collar to speak, and now the person who grabbed his collar is just an old security guard of an abandoned school, Zhen Hua smiled speechlessly.
The old security guard looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and felt inexplicable, anyone at this time would make some resistance, or be disturbed, but the middle-aged man in front of him smiled, not the kind of mocking smile, but the kind of smile that was happy from the heart, the old security guard didn't know what was wrong with this middle-aged man, he didn't dare to provoke a madman, he was grabbed by the collar and reprimanded but behaved so happily, there must be something wrong with this person's spirit, the old security guard unconsciously let go of the hand holding Zhen Hua's collar, and took two steps back in fear.
"Brother Qiang, I'm Zhen Hua, I often bought cigarettes to honor you."
The old security guard froze in place, trying to recall Zhen Hua's number one person, and after a while, his dirty eyes seemed to shine with a fine light, rushed to Zhen Hua's face, and clamped Zhen Hua's shoulders tightly, as if he had found an oasis in the desert.
"Xiaohua! I haven't seen you in over 20 years! ”
"Yes, your old man is still so strong, he grabbed me by the collar just now, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to move."
"Hahahaha, don't joke with my old bones, you kid, I'm just relying on momentum to scare people now, if I really move, who else can I beat."
Zhen Hua could hear the loneliness in the old security guard's words. Yes, the city's sanda champion back then is now an old man in the twilight of the sunset, and the heroes they worshipped by a group of stinky boys back then are now just a useless paper tiger, and anyone will feel sad.
"But why did you kid come back at this time?"
"It's rare to take a vacation, I want to come back to see, but I didn't expect things to be wrong..."
The old security guard stopped talking, and the top private high school back then was now just a ruin, what could he say? At the beginning, he was proud to be a security guard for this school, and he also had a security team of twenty people, but now, he is the only old man guarding this ruin, who doesn't feel sorry? But after all, it is just a discarded product washed away by the times, belonging to its era, it is incomparably brilliant, and at this time it is like this old security guard at sunset, silent in desolation.
"Brother Qiang, can I go in and have a look?"
The old security guard sighed.
"Alas, go ahead, it's all broken copper and iron, and there's nothing to look at."
"There's always something worth seeing..."
Zhen Hua's whispered words may only be heard by himself, and he has already walked into the school.
Zhen Hua didn't care about the situation of the school, how long this ruin has been desolate, he doesn't know, but the scenery has not changed much, and the layout of the building has not changed at all, maybe since twenty years ago, this school has stopped, from the moment they graduated, this school seems to be frozen, after 20 years, Zhen Hua stepped into the campus, this seems to be the first time to step into the high school campus after graduation, but unfortunately the desolate campus has long since lost the original laughter, and has long dissipated the bookish spirit, An empty shell, eerie and dilapidated, wandering through it like a lonely ghost.
Walk over to the fence behind the playground and look at the moss on the wall and the unevenly arranged fragments of broken glass stuck in the wall, which is almost covered in a thick layer of dust. This is the place that Zhen Hua was most familiar with back then, whether it was being late for school, or skipping class, this wall was the only way to go, when he was young and frivolous, he didn't know what the danger was, the sharp glass was nothing, even if he was scratched by it several times, but he was still happy to do it, this wall almost carried all the memories of Zhen Hua's skipping class when he was a student, but at this time Zhen Hua had long since lost his original vigorous skills, looking at this three-meter-high wall was already powerless, even if he wanted to look back on his youth, He is also incapable, all people and things in this world will change over time, Zhen Hua is like this, how can everything in this world be like this.
The person who stood on the wall and didn't dare to climb up was Wen Zixin, the nerd who was full of only studying, and was the only truant who had been bruised by himself, and when he thought of this, it was like returning to that afternoon twenty years ago.
"Zhen Hua, come down quickly! Let's go back to class. ”
Wenzi looked at him with tears in his eyes, but he was unmoved, sitting on the wall and looking at her condescendingly.
"Didn't you say that as long as I move up five places in the monthly exam this month, you will promise me a condition? My conditions are very simple, go out with me for a day, do you regret it? ”
"But... But I can't go up..."
"It's troublesome, give it to me."
Zhen Hua grabbed a piece of broken glass with one hand to stabilize his body, and grabbed Wen Zixin with the other, almost lifting Wen Zixin up, and then Zhen Hua jumped down, but watched Wen Zixin sit timidly on the wall and didn't dare to move.
"What's wrong again?"
"I... I don't dare, it's too high..."
Zhen Hua looked at this girl, with a lazy temperament showing a helpless expression, which made people look a little creepy.
"Jump, I'll catch you, if you don't jump, I'll leave, just stay there alone."
For Zhen Hua's words, Wen Zixin has always dared not disobey, that is a representative of bad students, how dare she be disobedient, but she is really afraid, she should not have made that bet with Zhen Hua in the first place, but Zhen Hua's turning posture made Wen Zixin feel that he could really let himself go, and jumped down as soon as his eyes were closed.
Zhen Hua was thrown to the ground by her, who knew that she jumped off without warning, and didn't even say a word when she was ready, didn't this cost people's lives.
"You're so heavy..."
Wen Zixin lay on Zhen Hua's chest, his face turned red instantly, and he quickly got up from Zhen Hua's body, and said with a blushing face: "It's obvious that you are false, and you will catch me if you say yes." ”
"I've used you as a human cushion, and you won't pull me when you fall like this."
Wen Zixin hurriedly pulled Zhen Hua up, but his face was full of shame, and he didn't dare to look at Zhen Hua directly, and kept tilting his head, which made Zhen Hua angry and teasing.
Maybe I started to like this girl from that time, I just wanted to frustrate the spirit of the school bully, but when she lay on her chest and made a little daughter posture, Zhen Hua's heart also went away, and the red face always made people have the urge to pinch it, but it was a pity that I defined this relationship as friendship at that time, which was really stupid.
Every time he thought of that contact, Zhen Hua couldn't help but blush, in fact, he was also a deer in his heart at that time, but for the sake of face, he pretended to be full of indifference, if the seeds of favor were planted at that time, how could there be such a twenty years of hard waiting, maybe from the very beginning, his choice seemed so stupid.
Why didn't he catch Wen Zixin well, these are all later words, he can't change the facts that have happened, but why he has been so excited about a girl since then, and why is he so paranoid, maybe he has no regrets, but he can't look back on the stupid past.
Maybe one of the synonyms of youth is stupidity, he was immature at that time, he thought that plainness was the best disguise, but he didn't know the disguise of plainness, he would only reduce everything to plainness, and what he needed was not plain friendship, he was wrong from the beginning, the wall gave him a chance, but he didn't accept it, under the witness of this wall, he fell in love with the girl, but he didn't grasp the opportunity at the beginning.
