Chapter 18: War
In the early morning, I sat alone in a strange classroom.
Except for a few classmates in the old class, I don't know most of them.
After a short period of embarrassment and discomfort, some students started to get up and find someone to talk to.No matter old or new, because of the unknown fate, everyone tries hard to chat with others in order to break their own loneliness in an unfamiliar atmosphere.At the beginning, it was nothing more than a simple self-introduction, and when I became more comfortable, I added some interesting hobbies.A new relationship is formed naturally.
Until the new homeroom teacher, Mr. Bao, came to the stage to give instructions, according to the rules he drew up, everyone was arranged according to the new order.Gradually, a brand-new class collective began to take shape.
When the bell rang for class, I couldn't wait to come to Holly.
The strange thing is, I saw Jiang Linlin who was tied for No.20 with him in this class.
Could it be that he was assigned to another class?
I'm a little frustrated.
However, when I saw Mr. Bao's tough and ruthless expression, his neat work efficiency, and the staring eyes of the new students around me, I suddenly realized that I was in a real fast class.Thinking that if I continue to be so passionate, I am afraid that I will be reduced to the mouth and plate of the beasts, and become their defeated opponent.
The new head teacher, Mr. Bao, has a reputation for teaching in the school. I have heard of it for a long time.
As long as they are students in his class, [-]% to [-]% can be guaranteed to enter the provincial key high school.
What a scary number!I think, to achieve such a goal, what a firm belief and hard work it takes!
However, this is how Mr. Bao established his prestige in the school with his unattainable teaching achievements year after year.Many parents are extremely reverent when they hear his name, and they want their children to enter his class so as to ensure a bright future for their children.
Such a person is scary just thinking about it.
Fortunately, Teacher Bao is quite humorous in private.We are often amused by his wit in class.However, this does not affect his strict requirements for our class.
He advocated a "wolf nature" culture to us, and hoped that each of us would be like a little beast in the jungle, fighting for our own way of survival through bloody fighting in the cruel survival of the fittest.
"Each of you is the best fighter! Don't disappoint the unique talents that God has given you. We must work hard to cherish our own advantages and carry them forward through hard work!"
"Work hard and work hard. God rewards hard work and never gives up!"
Everyone answered in unison, and the burst of shouts echoed back and forth in the small classroom.
My voice is also included.In private, I can't help but wonder in my heart, what kind of genetic mutation my body will go through from the lamb that was eaten before to the wild wolf that cannibalizes people now.
When school was over in the afternoon, at the end of the aisle, I accidentally ran into Fang Fang who had just walked out of the parallel class.
As soon as we saw each other, we moved together excitedly.
"Mumble, are you getting used to the new classroom?"
"I'm fine, Fang Fang, how about you?"
"I'm fine too, that's all!"
"Mumble, listen to me, do you know who I saw in our class? You may not even think of it."
"Who, who? Who is so amazing, I can't imagine, haha!"
I was still foolishly silent in the joy of meeting Fang Fang.
"Harry!"
I froze when I heard the name.
"He was sitting not far from me."
"But, how could this be? Isn't he clearly number 20? How could..."
I felt the hot blood rushing up my throat suddenly.
"I don't know either. However, when I met Dajun at noon, he told me that none of the teachers in the key class wanted Heli. They only wanted Jiang Linlin with the same ranking."
"Ah, how could this be?"
My mind is in a mess.
"Yeah, He Li is really unlucky. He worked so hard, but ended up like this."
"Hey, isn't Dajun in the same class as you?"
"No, he was assigned to another parallel class."
Fang Fang said with a look of disappointment.
This sudden news made my heart feel as if a basin of cold water had been poured into it, making it drenched and cold.
At night, when I got home, I was in a daze, and I couldn't get back to my senses.
I feel sorry for Holly's situation.I know his character very well, and I know that he has tried his best in his studies, but now he has ended up like this, how can he bear it.
Why did God treat him like this? It's not fair!
I sighed, wanting to comfort him.But from the end of last semester to now, I have rarely had the chance to meet him again.
After much deliberation, I realized that it was already night.After tidying up the notes and homework on the desk, I lay back on my bed, tossing and turning, but couldn't fall asleep.I sat on the head of the bed blankly with my arms around my knees, trying to find a safe way to encourage him, but found that for me now, there were too many obstacles in all aspects, and it was really difficult to find a feasible way.It wasn't until the dead of night, when Minmin in her sleep had turned over several times on the upper bunk, and I was too tired to open my eyes, that I fell into a deep sleep helplessly.
The next morning, sitting in the new classroom, I was as busy as usual.
The courses in the second semester of the second year of junior high school are much more arduous than the last semester.
Early in the morning, my ears were filled with all kinds of cultural knowledge that the teacher identified as extremely important.The blackboard writing on the blackboard was constantly erased and erased.It made me suspect that if I continue like this, I will definitely get "snow blindness".The right hands of the students followed the writing on the blackboard, moving back and forth mechanically on their notebooks.Finally, when it was time to leave school in the afternoon, I was so tired that my waist was sore and my back ached, but there were still piles of homework waiting to be done.
Such a life, month after month.I was so tired that I could barely find time to miss Fang Fang, Da Jun and He Li.In this way, the days of joy in the past were squeezed into a small corner in my heart, covered with felt cloth like goods, and covered tightly.
During the break, I also vaguely heard the gossip of some students about the issue of class placement.But the huge study pressure made me have no time to worry about these things, so I just let it go in vain.
One Wednesday afternoon, the whole class, including me, were working hard at their desks in the self-study class.I, who was exploring a mathematical problem, was suddenly awakened by a commotion around me.Because I was restrained by the pen in my hand, I guessed that it was just a classmate who loves to play tricks or show off, and played a silly prank, which aroused heated discussions from everyone, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
Gradually, the nuisance became louder and louder, and many students stopped writing in their hands, kept whispering and fidgeting.I raised my head, followed everyone's pointers, and cast my eyes out of the cold window, only to find that some students could no longer bear it, and got up from their seats one after another, ran out of the classroom, and gathered in a pile.Without exception, they turned their heads towards the corner of the stairs in the classroom, watching the exciting scene in front of them curiously.
"What are they doing? What are they looking at?"
I turned my face to my new deskmate and asked suspiciously.
"I'm watching the fight, I heard it's pretty fierce."
"Are the students fighting each other?"
"It seems to be, it is said that there is blood."
"Really? We are all classmates, why are you so cruel?"
"It's Wang Zheng from our class and a student from another class. I heard that that person is a student from a parallel class. He's quite famous for his love of fighting. What's his name..."
Speaking of Wang Zheng, a figure of a male classmate immediately appeared in my mind. He was fat and tall, and he spoke in a high-pitched voice, with a sense of arrogance entrenched between his brows.He has been in the key class for several months, and he has never said a few words to me.
Although he is bitter and mean, his grades are still far ahead in the rankings, and his temperament always loves to circle around the teacher.Therefore, the students jokingly called him "Eunuch Wang" in private.
"I didn't expect that Wang Zheng could still fight?"
I secretly wanted to laugh.
However, my deskmate didn't notice my sarcasm, she was trying to get out of her stuck thoughts.
"That man's surname is He, what's his name? Oh, by the way, 'outstanding among chickens'!"
She slapped her forehead excitedly.
"He Li! That's him. Look at me, every time I hear his name, I think of this idiom."
Hearing Holly's name, I was so surprised that I couldn't speak, and the math problem in my mind was instantly thrown away.
My hands and feet began to lose control, and my heart was pounding.The body subconsciously stood up from the chair that had become warm because of sitting for too long.Immediately rushed out of the classroom, desperately pushing aside the crowd of onlookers.
Everything in front of me made me unable to control myself, and I was stunned.
The two boys, flailing their arms, wrestled with each other frantically, completely losing their minds.
He Li was one of them, and the other was Wang Zheng.
Blood was hanging from the corner of He Li's mouth, and Wang Zheng's brow bones were all bruised.The hair of the two was like a field of wormwood, disheveled, and there were traces of being torn cruelly by the other party.Their collars were incomplete, their collars were ripped open, buttons were scattered on the floor, and the front pockets of their clothes had been completely torn.
Fights between men are different from women, they are all silent, but they expose their deep disgust for each other in their eyes.Just like the two of them at this moment, even though they hated each other endlessly, they couldn't hear an extra curse, only fighting each other desperately.
At the corner of the stairs on the second floor, Wang Zheng used his clenched fist as a sharp weapon, hitting every corner of the opponent's body straight and blindly.Holly didn't show any timidity, nor did he show any weakness.He stared fiercely at Wang Zheng's face, relying on instinct, quickly dodged, and then quickly fought back.Different from Wang Zheng, he didn't clenched his fist tightly, but left a gap in his palm, punched his fist in an arc and then retracted it quickly.There was a hint of cunning in his eyes, and he didn't strike easily, but once he struck, he didn't stop, ferociously and domineeringly until the opponent was beaten dizzily by him, and couldn't find his way.
Holly's fierce aura made me feel an indescribable fear.
Only I understand that he is venting and risking his life.
The students standing on the stairs on the third floor were so frightened that they kept screaming in shock, but none of them dared to go down the stairs to fight. Instead, they backed away in fear.
A few good people turned around and left the crowd, and rushed towards the teacher's building hundreds of meters away like swords.In their consciousness, only the teacher can judge and stop the endless fight in front of them.
However, there was a force in the dark that made me stand up bravely and pushed me down the stairs boldly.
Yes, driven by it, I rushed down the stairs on the third floor. Regardless of life and death, I blocked Wang Zheng by the shoulder. When he turned his head and looked out, I blocked him. between them.
The two boys were bewildered by the sudden situation.
However, they immediately regained their logic.
"Who, get out of the way, don't block it! Get out of the way!"
Wang Zheng, who was in a hurry, failed to recognize me, a new classmate who had only been in the same class for a few months.He just yelled at me, but I ignored him.
"You, go away quickly."
These are the words Heli threw to me, and his originally calm eyes showed a trace of panic.
I didn't answer, I just stood firmly between the two boys.
Suddenly, I felt a gust of wind whizzing past my right ear. It was the sound of Wang Zheng punching.
He Li immediately stretched out his right hand, and suddenly and forcefully pulled me behind him.Then I felt the violent tremor of a fist hitting his shoulder.
"what!"
I was caught off guard so frightened that I screamed, subconsciously hid behind his broad shoulders, lowered my head, tightened my body, and firmly grabbed the clothes around his waist with my hands.
"Don't fight, don't fight, please don't fight anymore! Don't fight anymore..."
I shouted at the top of my lungs.
He Li was probably stimulated by my hopeless begging, thinking that the other party had hurt me, he fell into a rage in his heart.
He vacated the left hand that was protecting his body, and used it to protect me behind me.Relying on a single right hand, with vengeful determination, he fought back viciously and cruelly.
He seized the opportunity, and aimed at the opponent's nose with a few ruthless old punches, until the unsuspecting opponent took a few steps back, covered his face with his hands, and fell to the ground in extreme pain, blood spurting from his fingers immediately.
In such a situation, He Li was still unwilling to let go.He took a few steps forward, rushed towards Wang Zheng, and grabbed his throat with his right hand, making him unable to move at all.The opponent was in a hurry, so he had no choice but to kick He Li hard with his feet.Perhaps Wang Zheng really kicked his body, He Li endured it, and slightly loosened the grip of his right hand.The other party took the opportunity to spit out a bad breath, and began to provocatively curse.
"What's the matter with you kid! You can't win, call the girl to help?"
Wang Zheng looked at He Li with mocking eyes.
Holly's personality couldn't stand this kind of insult, so he immediately yelled back.
"Damn you, are you looking for death today?!"
"Want to kill me? Just rely on your ability, or do you want to rely on hiding behind you?"
As soon as Wang Zheng's words fell, He Li immediately tightened the tiger's mouth of his right hand that was still stuck on the opponent's neck, swung the fist of his left hand, and aimed at the dovetail on the opponent's chest.
The boy who received the heavy punch screamed in pain, and this punch also "woke up" me who was in extreme panic behind He Li.
When I was young, when I was playing at the house of my uncle who was a Chinese physician, I curiously looked through the medical books he had piled up on the bookshelf.When I saw the acupoint map of the human body, I became curious about the strange-sounding word "dovetail".So I picked up the book and asked my uncle about its interpretation.
My uncle's long explanation of it at first has long been out of my recollection.But I still remember the sentence he added to me at the end of his explanation,
"The dovetail can't take heavy blows. If you hit it too hard, it can easily kill people."
Recalling this sentence, the blood all over my body began to become cold.No longer caring about the classmates who were watching upstairs, he hugged He Li by the waist desperately, not letting go of his hands desperately.
"Stop hitting, Holly! Stop hitting! It will kill! I beg you, stop hitting!"
Hearing my desperate cry, he gradually slowed down, and his body began to relax from the initial rigidity.
I understood that he was sober and gradually began to calm down.
So, I used the momentum to drag him back and take him away from this place of right and wrong.With my wrist around his waist, he followed me back a few steps.However, within a few steps, he stood still after keeping a safe distance from the opponent.
I slowly let go of him, holding my waist with both hands, gasping for breath from exhaustion.
"You two! You are so courageous, do you want to rebel!"
From the stairs on the third floor, a sharp voice suddenly came out.
When I looked up, I found that the previously impenetrable onlookers had been separated into a small path at some point, like the Red Sea split by Moses, and at the end of the path stood a teacher with an extremely ugly face.
Several students saw the opportunity, rushed down the stairs, helped Wang Zheng who had been knocked down, and then climbed up the side of the stairs in a desperate manner.
"It's just nonsense! Look at the two of you, how can you still look like a decent student?"
At this moment, the students who were rushed into the teacher's building tried their best to bring them to arbitration. It was Mr. Sun who was in charge of teaching and administrative management in the Academic Affairs Office.He is short and stocky, with a swollen face. When he talks to students, he is always accusatory. He always speaks Mandarin with some local accents. He is notoriously a difficult teacher in the school.
Everyone didn't speak, and the scene kept a breathless silence, only Teacher Sun kept reprimanding the two people who were fighting.
"I see that you all live too idle! Is the self-study class used for fighting? The discipline of the school is ignored! Do you still know how to cherish the precious study time?"
"You!" Teacher Sun pointed at the boy who had just stood up, "Which class are you in? What's your name?"
The boy changed his self-satisfaction just now, lowered his head, and replied in a low voice,
"Class [-], Grade [-], Wang Zheng."
"Isn't the first class of the second grade of junior high school a key class? Why, your study tasks are not tight, and you still have time to fight?"
"What about you?"
Teacher Sun poked his finger at He Li again.
"Class two (five) junior high, He Li."
"Oh, so you are the famous Heli. Your reputation as a 'Saint Warrior' has been spread throughout the entire teacher building! I saw you today and it really deserves your reputation! I didn't hear about it before, but I want to change myself. New, let’s be a new person! Why, now that I’m in the ordinary class, I can’t bear it anymore, and I’m starting to show my true colors?”
Holly didn't answer, just gritted his teeth.
His disapproval and non-cooperative expression made Mr. Sun, who spoke frequently, experience an uncomfortable sense of frustration.Immediately, Teacher Sun couldn't bear it any longer, and wanted to attack him tightly.
"He Li, listen to me, now it's not like you used to be in another school. I can't control how other schools condone students with your character. But! The purpose of our school's education for students is to get rid of all bad habits, The pursuit of excellence is extraordinary. Therefore, you should not bring this kind of fighting preference to us and affect the daily life of teachers and students. Not only will we not welcome it, but we will not condone it! Your laissez-faire behavior will only Rejected by all of us here. Do you understand?"
Holly was still silent.But I know that Teacher Sun's words have deeply hurt his self-esteem.He rubbed his right nostril with the bent index finger of his right hand, sucked his nostrils, and stood willfully.
"And you,"
Finally it was my turn.
"A girl with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, mixed with them, what does she look like!"
After hearing this, I was relieved and realized that my whole body, whether it was hair or clothes, had become messy from the fighting and pushing just now, and it was really unbearable.However, to my surprise, Teacher Sun did not ask me to report my class and name in front of the crowd of onlookers like the previous two.
"Teacher, she went to fight with good intentions."
Among the students watching, someone had the guts to explain it to Mr. Sun for me.
The words passed through his ears, but the teacher still maintained his majestic expression.
"Okay, I don't want to say any more in the end. You two come up by yourself and follow me. Other students, go back to your classroom. Without the teacher's permission, don't come out casually! If there is any violation , once you get caught, just wait honestly and report to the Academic Affairs Office!"
After Teacher Sun finished speaking, everyone obeyed obediently.Everyone dispersed, and the two fighting "criminals" were immediately taken away by the teacher.For a while, the corner of the stairs became empty, leaving only me, who was missed by the teacher, standing alone.
Using my fingers as a comb, I smoothed my hair and re-secured the short ends with rubber bands.Then, I straightened my clothes, patted the dust and dirt on my legs from the fight just now, and stepped up the steps to the third floor step by step.
After I walked back to the classroom, I found that most of the students had calmed down and were doing everything in their hands before the incident in an orderly manner.However, when I appeared at the door of the classroom, I still attracted whispers from a small number of good-natured people.All the way to the desk, I could clearly feel their pointing behind me.
The moment I sat back in the chair, I saw that the homework book on my desk was still flat in front of me. The math problem on it was only half solved, and the half-opened pen was still lying on it.
The deskmate beside him widened his eyes and asked cautiously,
"Are you OK?"
I politely replied, "I'm fine." Then I forced a smile at her.
Suddenly, I felt sore in my heart, and I thought of Fang Fang who was sitting beside me a few months ago.
I lowered my head, secretly wiped away the teardrops gushing from the corners of my eyes with my hands, sighed, and went back to my desk, trying to calm down like most people, and returned to the embrace of the book.
After thinking for a long time, but without any progress, I had no choice but to temporarily put down the math problem and decided to make time to complete other homework first.
The clock on the wall was ticking, and it was always on track.
A quarter of an hour later, Wang Zheng walked back to our classroom slowly with his head down and wounds on his face.
Many people looked up at him.
I glanced up, then lowered my head indifferently, and continued to do my homework.
Another 10 minutes later, when I was devoting myself to reading an article on English reading comprehension, I suddenly heard a burst of running footsteps, which came from far to near, all the way to the door of our classroom, and then stepped on After entering the room, there was a collective exclamation from the students.
"Oh!"
When I looked up, I saw all the students in the front row stood up in panic.A lot of people dodged and left their seats with fear. The girls were all terrified, and they clung to the base of the wall and squeezed each other.
At this time, the stubborn He Li was staring with anger, holding a round and thick wooden stick, and stood fiercely at the corner of the podium near the front door of the classroom.
He firmly held the end of the wooden stick with his right hand, looking back and forth like a searchlight at the chaotic crowd under the podium.As if looking for someone.
This situation once again forcibly pulled me away from the book, and my heart felt an unprecedented shock again.
A strong consciousness immediately jumped into my mind. For me, perhaps today is destined to be an inescapable disaster.
Suddenly, my eyes went dark, and my feet went limp.Even so, I still tried to support the table with my hands and tried my best to stand up.
Suddenly, He Li who was standing on the stage seemed to have discovered something, and rushed towards the crowd below with a wooden stick.
It turned out that the terrified Wang Zheng was among the crowd.
Could it be that this time he is really going to fight for his life?
It's too late, but it's fast.A few bold boys rushed forward to Heli, risking their lives to block his way.There was a sudden commotion in the classroom.Wang Zheng took the opportunity to push through the crowd, broke through a path, stumbled open the back door of the classroom, and then fled.
He Li immediately broke free from the obstruction of the crowd, and ran to the outside along the path Wang Zheng stepped on, chasing after him relentlessly.
All the people cast their eager eyes out of the window at the same time, and they watched eagerly until they could no longer see the two running black spots.
I fell weakly to my seat, pale and disheartened.After thinking, thinking, and learning from the pain alone, I expected that my world would be turned upside down by this unexpected accident in the near future, and I suddenly felt depressed and hopeless, and the only thing left in my heart was a sense of complete meaninglessness. Despair in the ups and downs.
