Through The Strait Gates

Chapter 34: college entrance examination

Views:

No one cared about Cai Jing since he was a child, no one paid attention to what he should prepare, no one took him on a long trip, and no one thought about getting him a minor ID card. This year, because of the college entrance examination registration, he just got that little card. At that time, there was no real-name system for taking the train, and the plane had nothing to do with him. Cai Jing didn't know what this little ID card could be used for other than the college entrance examination, and he didn't know which way the bank's door opened.

Pocket money or a large amount of New Year's money has never had anything to do with Cai Jing, and he has no money to manage. In Cai Jing's impression, things like "bank card" and "bank account" are the children of a wealthy family like Xu Xilin. only thing.

He can only be like an old lady with little feet, save a pile of coins and coins, and then hide all his belongings in a small box. Every time he takes it, he has to be careful and choose him When Uncle Slag is not at home, he will carefully press things down after picking and placing.

But even if he worked so hard, he still couldn't keep that meager property.

Cai Jing stayed in place for a moment as if struck by lightning, and rushed out the door, just in time to bump into his uncle at the door. people.

The drunkard thought he was in the way, he stretched out his hand and pushed Cai Jing into a stumble, cursing casually, "Little bastard who loses money."

Cai Jing clenched his fists and his voice trembled slightly: "Second Uncle, did you move the cookie box in my closet?"

The drunkard squinted his eyes, his face was red with wine lees, and squinted at him: "What did I move you, cumbersome?"

"Money," Cai Jing's voice changed, barely suppressed, revealing a little trembling as if choking, "I put the money in the cabinet, uncle, it's not that I disrespect you, but the money is for school, I'll go months…”

"Going to school?" The drunkard sneered, raised a finger and pointed at Cai Jing, "Baby, what's the use of you going to school? Are you that material?"

Cai Jing was stabbed in the head by the maliciousness in his words, he gritted his teeth hard, controlled himself not to say anything, just said: "Second uncle, I am admitted to university, I will be able to have a serious job in the future, and then I can also be filial. Are you bad? I beg you to give it to me first, and I'll give it to you after the college entrance examination is over. I am... It is of serious use."

The drunkard raised his stinky hand with a smile, and tapped Cai Jing's forehead with the back of his hand: "Bitch, uncle will teach you a good lesson today, learn... It's for those people who look like dogs, you This kind of person is only worthy of education. What the fuck is this son of a bitch? College students have more leaves than leaves, so what can you do if you go to college? You have no money, no one, and a good job has nothing to do with you Mom is daydreaming, get me something to eat."

Cai Jing was so anxious that tears came down, he stepped forward and grabbed the hand of his alcoholic second uncle, begging: "Second uncle, I beg you... I beg you... I saved the money desperately, I... "

The drunkard got impatient and slapped him back: "Get out!"

When people are drunk, their emotional ups and downs are more intense. The drunkard slapped him and it was not enough, as if he couldn't stop, he went up and kicked Cai Jing several times, and one kick hit him in the stomach. Cai Jing held his head and squatted in the corner covered with yellow stains, listening to his uncle, a gambler and an alcoholic, yelling at him, from his wife who disliked the poor and loved the rich to Cai Jing, who called him a born scumbag. , and then still unfinished, he brought Cai Jing's parents along, and cursed for more than ten minutes in one breath, scolding the dead out of the grave several times, and he finally stopped to take a breath.

Cai Jing held his head and looked at the man next to him through the gap in his arms.

It's like eating people.

The drunkard was so addicted to scolding, he strangled his neck tiredly and walked away, without even looking at his cowardly nephew who could not fight back and scold him.

The reason for this incident was that Li Bozhi wanted to beat his enemies, but if he couldn't beat him, he could cheat some pocket money.

And Cai Jing's so-called "weakness" was just a letter hidden after a short thought.

As long as he confesses what he has done and tells his friends, there will always be someone who can take care of those little bastards, and the amount of money stolen by the second bastard is really an insignificant amount, short-term difficulties One point, who will eat less of him after that

How easy it is to fix this.

And things are indeed what they should be. Because Cai Jing is cowardly by nature, his courage is like the lead of a firecracker. It only has a short length and can be turned into ashes in a few minutes. If he is allowed to calm down for ten minutes, he may even ask questions. The drunkard didn't even have the courage to make a sound.

Then maybe he was forced into desperation, and he would choose to confess rationally and find Xu Xilin and Wu Tao to solve the matter.

Maybe he will be a little more cowardly, finally can't say it, "betrayed" his friend once, and let Li Bozhi get what he wanted...

In this way, he may lose a few friends and be condemned by his conscience for a period of time, but after ten or twenty years, when the young boys have turned into bald and belly middle-aged men, when we meet again, we will talk inside and out. To test how the other party is getting along, they will sit together and talk about the big and unreasonable issues of national economy and people's livelihood, and mentioning their respective wives, children, children, and children is a forehead debt... At that time, who would care about this stupid and middle-school quarrel in their youth

Maybe every scene of the falling sky will turn into an old mosquito net with ashes when looking back - as long as he can look back.

As long as his alcoholic second uncle didn't come back at this time.

Cai Jing got up trembling all over, and he kicked the alcoholic under his ribs. He didn't know if his ribs were cracked, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't straighten his back. His face was pale, but his eyes were terrifyingly bright.

Then he saw the fruit knife on the table.

Cai Jing didn't go to school the next day, and Xu Xilin didn't see anyone until the morning self-study was over, and after asking around, he didn't hear a single word of truth. Cai Jing didn't have a phone, and it wasn't easy for others to see the situation at their house.

Xu Xilin and Cai Jing have been at the same table for three years, and this has never happened. Cai Jing would come to school with a fever of 40 degrees. He wanted to ask Qilixiang a little, but he hadn't seen their head teacher for a day, and he even gave back the physics self-study class to the math teacher.

Cai Jing was absent from work on the first day, maybe something happened, but it was very wrong to be absent for three consecutive days... especially at this time.

As the college entrance examination approached, the evening self-study for senior three had been stopped from this week. Xu Xilin was still thinking about this when he left the school gate. When he looked up, he saw Dou Xun carrying a backpack in a Taoist uniform waiting for him at the school gate.

There are suddenly more people wearing school uniforms in the third year of high school. It may be that they are busy with their studies and are too lazy to change. It may also be that they are nostalgic for the school before leaving. As soon as the ground poured out, Dou Xun stood on the road on the west side of the school gate, but he could always see Xu Xilin at a glance.

He immediately jumped off the curb and waited for him to come over.

The best time of the day is when the sun goes down in the evening, and the best day of the week is Friday — both when the rest time is approaching and people are full of anticipation.

Dou Xun couldn't help showing a little smile, and he was shocked that it was too stupid, so he hurriedly lowered his head and pressed it back.

Before Xu Xilin could say hello to him, he was suddenly stopped. He looked back and saw that Wu Tao and Lao Cheng had caught up.

When Dou Xun saw these unnecessary outsiders, he resumed his stern smile, and was very unhappy that they came to disturb him.

There were still people who didn't wink, Wu Tao put his hands around Xu Xilin's neck as soon as he came up, and hung half of him on him.

Dou Xun suddenly felt like he had fleas growing on his body.

But at this moment, he heard Wu Tao whispering to Xu Xilin: "Cai Jing has an accident, have you heard?"

Xu Xilin: "What..."

"Shh," Wu Tao glanced around and lowered his voice, "I don't know what's going on, the news in the school was withheld, and Qilixiang hasn't been here for several days, can you see it?"

After exchanging the barren information, a few people changed their route temporarily and ran to Cai Jing's house like a thief. When Cai Jing was blocked by loan sharks, they took turns sending him home.

Cai Jing’s family lived in a dilapidated old building. They said they would demolish it a few years ago. So far, there has been no movement. The door is full of messy stalls and hawkers, and they have to pass through a small alley that smells of dog urine. When Cai Jing was found, the surrounding neighbors also seemed to be dead.

When the big boys were going upstairs, a little girl on the first floor just threw the ball out of the room. She just stepped out of the door to pick it up, but the adults in the family rushed out and took it away. The man watched them vigilantly. A few half-boys glanced at them and locked the door with their hands back.

Across the door, you could hear the child howling for the ball.

The colored ball rolled twice in the corridor in vain, and didn't move.

It's okay not to come, but Xu Xilin's heart was even more disturbed when he came.

The school and the teachers didn't want to affect the mood of the senior year students. At first, they cooperated to hide it, but the students didn't leave the school, nor did they watch TV or surf the Internet. After all, they couldn't keep the fire on paper. After being so calm for about a week, a The news spread like an explosion - it was all said that Cai Jing had stabbed his bastard uncle.

Rumors have noses and eyes, saying that at that time, Cai Jing carried a fruit knife and ran out in blood. He was seen by a neighbor and called the police. The one who was stabbed was sent to the hospital for rescue for a day, and finally died.

Everyone who knew Cai Jing didn't believe it.

Cai Jing is the kind of person who is walking on the street when someone suddenly rushes up to slap him and he won't fight back. He doesn't even dare to kill a chicken, kill? How is that possible

Qilixiang finally returned to school and showed up. Xu Xilin ran to the head teacher's office at the risk of being trained in the early morning self-study. Qilixiang looked tired and didn't say anything about his disciplinary behavior, but revealed a little to him. detail.

Xu Xilin's temple jumped: "Then... is that true?"

His mind was in a mess, and he wanted to ask what to do? What will happen to him in this situation? To pay for your life? Or can it be released later

Qilixiang nodded and instructed him not to let his mind wander because of this, and try not to tell others about it.

Xu Xilin didn't listen at all and interrupted her rashly: "Mr. Zhang, have you heard of why?"

Qi Lixiang may not know, or it may be inconvenient to tell him, just shake his head: "Don't be affected."

Xu Xilin was stunned for a while: "Then... Where is Cai Jing? Can I see him?"

Qi Lixiang sighed and shook her head again. I don't know if I can't, or I don't know.

Since this incident broke out, the number of visitors suddenly increased.

In the past ten years, No. 6 Middle School has been very peaceful. It is said that only one student committed suicide due to depression, and the rest of the students died. Basically, it was not a traffic accident or a serious disease. Now there is a "murderer" in the key class! This is simply unheard of since the school's inception.

Not only in the school, but also in the society, there are many reports. The media are always reluctant to explain what happened in a down-to-earth manner. Only by digging out a major "social problem" behind it can they be willing to let it go.

"Exam-oriented education ignores the development of students' personality" and other irrelevant gossips are rampant. The reporters outside were blocked by the school, but the school refused to stop for a while. Check out some scoops as a remediation for a high-intensity study life.

Steamed bread is oil-free, salt-free, tasteless and tasteless. If it is not stained with human blood, it is probably bland and tasteless.

When Qilixiang found out, she was furious, and she and the head teacher next door made a fuss in the school leadership office. The next day, the school urgently issued a rule prohibiting students of other grades from staying in the corridor of senior three for no reason. It sounds a bit baffling, but fortunately, there are only a few days left for the college entrance examination.

No one had accurate information on Cai Jing, and the countdown on the back blackboard was torn down little by little, turning into single digits... Finally, it stopped at "three" - after that, everyone could not care about tearing it.

This class of students, who were particularly troubled, were rushed into the college entrance examination room.

I heard that when the brothers and sisters graduated, they were throwing books and saying goodbyes at school, and the cleaning aunts were crazy busy.

But Xu Xilin didn't feel any relief. He finished the college entrance examination paper like the second model and the third model and countless simulation exercises.

Last year, during the senior year party of the second year of high school, a lot of people coaxed that they would gather at the west gate of the school after the college entrance examination, none of them were allowed to leave, and they went to celebrate again, but after the test was really over, no one mentioned it, and they each followed the parents who came to pick them up at the door. Now, when I occasionally meet my classmates, I always say hello from a distance... It means to leave the stage sadly.

Xu Xilin had no parents, and his grandmother was helping Aunt Du with luggage, and only Dou Xun came to pick him up.

There was only one sick mother in Luo Bing's house, and no one answered. Half an hour after the end of the exam was the time for the invigilator to collect the papers. To prevent mistakes, the candidates were locked in the school and not allowed to leave. Luo Bing searched the school for half an hour. After more than an hour, Xu Xilin was finally blocked at the school gate.

She knew that Xu Xilin and she did not apply to the same school. Cai Jing's incident happened before the college entrance examination. Maybe everyone was not in the mood to get together again during the holidays.

When Luo Bing saw Dou Xun, he didn't take it to heart—the two of them had always been together anyway.

Dou Xun is not a parent, so she doesn't need to be embarrassed. Luo Bing smiled apologetically at him, then turned around and said to Xu Xilin, "Can I say a few words to you?"
