Chapter 52 Hou Cong
Compared with the lively and active children of factories, mines and schools, the children here seem much more dull and steady.
The adults went in to do business. The children stood quietly here for more than ten minutes, but no one was playing or talking loudly.
They should know each other, and they just talked in a low voice. But in comparison, they should be children from the village. Those very obvious children from the mountains did not gather with them at all, and they all stood there alone in silence.
But it is not like ordinary children. They are a little frightened without finding a companion. On the contrary, their expressions do not fluctuate, and they look very calm, as if they should be like this.
Although I didn't say much, in fact, in my mother's words, I am a "active disorder patient". Standing like this for more than ten minutes has long been my limit. I usually don't take the initiative to get close to strangers, so I don't have the mood to know these children, but I actually want to run around and take a look.
However, these children are very steady. Even when I stand in this open space, I don’t feel like an alternative.
In the end, I could only stand quietly, just looking at these children's eyes becoming more and more unscrupulous.
I have no interest in the children in the village, but I am full of curiosity about the children in the mountains.
Three of them were obviously older than me, and they must have felt that I was looking at them, but the more they did, the more indifferent the expression on their faces, as if my eyes did not exist.
One of them closed his eyes and his face showed a very disproportionate maturity that was at this age.
The other one turned his head and looked at the sky outside the courtyard wall, muttering something, but there was no sound, as if he was reciting something.
As for the last one, he was more steady, neither closing his eyes nor silently chanting anything, just standing like a straight javelin, his eyes full of spirit. When he looked carefully, his eyes did not fall on anything. In fact, he didn't know what he was thinking, right?
It was so boring. I looked bored and took my eyes back.
It happened that while I was withdrawing my gaze, I touched another gaze. The two people's eyes collided, and I realized that a boy about the same age as me was also looking at them.
This boy is very interesting and thin, but his eyes are very big and he is spinning and moving in agile manner, looking like a monkey.
I think he looks interesting because I thought of Sun Wukong at the first time, and this idea is simply lingering.
Haha, a person who looks like Sun Wukong, when I think of this, I can no longer suppress my desire to laugh. I can't help but smile a little, and I laughed out with a "puff".
In the entire quiet environment, my laughter seemed extremely abrupt. Except for the three old gods in the mountains, the other children looked at me curiously.
I didn't blush, I care what others thought? They didn't seem to be very interested. They just took a look and turned their heads. A girl stared at me and looked at me for a little more.
This girl should not be a child from the village. I thought she was, after all, she was dressed well. Later, the children in the village gathered together, but she stood alone like other children in the mountains, and I knew she was not.
When I faced the gaze of others looking at me, I didn't care, but when this girl looked at me, I felt a little embarrassed.
Just because she is very beautiful, she is more beautiful than all the girls here. No, looking back, she should be more beautiful than when I was studying in Factory and Mining Primary School.
She was very white. Although her eyes were not very big, she was slightly raised, forming a beautiful angle. Her eyes were not soft, but she felt very proud and lofty.
The nose is small and straight, the diamond-shaped lips are not big, but the color is very rosy. The whole person's expression looks naturally integrated with the pride in his eyes, and the whole person has a sense of pride but not annoying.
She is very tall, and she is almost the same age as me. You know, when I got so taller, I was one of the best in the class. Her black hair tied her ponytail high, and as her head swayed slightly, the ponytail was also swinging.
I am a very 'super' person. I used to not take much care of people in class. Anyway, I have no psychological burden to "bully" girls or something. My mother once laughed and said that I was enlightened late.
I don't understand what this excuse means, but I know that I have no choice but to a girl, just a girl who is even more "super" than me, just like the former class monitor of our class, who is indifferent to my provocation and never hesitates to me.
After repeated visits, I lost my temper towards her. Zhou Zheng said that I was "no temper and embarrassing." Chen Chong said that he might as well "cheat" her hard, for example, if there was a worm hidden in her pencil case, I rejected it.
Born like this, there is no way, so when this girl looked at me, I didn't dare to be so unscrupulous. Her face was a little hot, and she simply lowered her head.
"Are you laughing at me just now?" Just when I was a little embarrassed, a voice rang in my ears.
I was shocked. The sound was definitely very "humor". It was like the Donald Duck in "Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse" I watched when I was a child, and it was not even worse. At that moment, I even had the illusion that Donald Duck came to talk to me. When I turned around, I saw "Sun Wukong" standing behind me, with big eyes looking at me "driftly".
He is not tall, just to my ear. Although the person looks like a lean sperm, he definitely feels like a monkey standing in front of him.
I didn't expect that he asked the question so directly, and didn't know how to answer it for a while, so I gritted my teeth and grabbed my head and said, "Well, I couldn't help laughing just now."
Seeing me grabbing my head, he was like deliberately imitating it, and then grabbed his head and said, "Then why are you laughing?"
"Because you look like 'Sun Wukong'." I simply went straight to the end.
"Who is Sun Wukong?" But he widened his eyes, obviously not knowing what I was talking about?
I felt like I was about to faint. There were people in this world who didn’t know Sun Wukong, which was a miracle. I couldn’t help but the voice became louder and said, “Have you ever read “Journey to the West”?”
He shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, what is it? Is it good? I've heard of Feng."
Before he could finish his words, a deep feeling of sympathy surged for him. He was really a child in the mountains, and he couldn't even watch TV. He couldn't help but say: "Yes, you are a child in the mountains. Your parents should be hunting and collecting herbs in the mountains, right? Forget it, let me tell you what Journey to the West is?"
"Ah?" He was obviously stunned, but he was silent for a second or two, and didn't say anything. Instead, he nodded and tacitly agreed to tell him about Journey to the West.
As my first idol in childhood, Sun Wukong, Journey to the West, was watching TV several times over and over again. Naturally, I was so familiar with it. I was already bored, but now there is someone who is willing to listen to me about Journey to the West, so how could I not be happy?
So, I began to tell him about Journey to the West. He didn't listen at first, but later, as I talked about the wonderful things, he couldn't help but dance, and he listened more and more seriously. He drove and danced with his eyebrows, and even jumped up and down, and he was really like a monkey.
My voice couldn't help but grow louder. Strangely, it seemed that the children here had never read Journey to the West.
Gradually, some children from the village gathered around and began to listen to me talking about Journey to the West. Even the proud girl turned her head from time to time to look at her. Although her expression had not changed much and she did not come, her tilted expression showed that she was listening and she loved to listen.
Later, except for the three "stubborn" children, all the children were attracted by me and listened to me about Journey to the West.
Although I don’t like to speak actively and get too close to others, I am the same child after all. After living alone for too long, I was suddenly surrounded by such a lively atmosphere. What’s more, no child is a little crazy. Seeing such a "focus on everyone", I talked more excitedly.
When talking about the wonderful things, I couldn't help but pull over the "Sun Wukong" and guided his actions, asking him to cooperate with my speech on the spot to play Sun Wukong, which made a group of children laugh. At this time, even the proud girl didn't turn around. When she listened attentively, she would quietly pursed her lips and laugh.
"Ye Zhengling, what are you doing?" Just as I was having fun, a voice came from afar.
I was so familiar with this voice. When I looked up, who wasn't Brother Zhengchuan? At this moment, he came out of those offices and looked here with a look of surprise, with an obvious expression of disbelief.
"Brother Zhengchuan, am I talking about Journey to them about Journey to the West?" I jumped up and waved to Brother Zhengchuan.
Brother Zhengchuan walked over quickly with a helpless and angry expression on his face, squeezed away the group of children, and kicked my ass with a "splash". It was not heavy, but he was angry. He whispered in my ear: "Ye Zhengling, what Master said, I'm telling you, have you forgotten to have cleaned it?"
I looked at Brother Masakawa with dissatisfaction and said, "You didn't say that you can't make friends with others."
Zhengchuan was speechless for a moment and stood there. Next to him, the "Sun Wukong" was still holding a bamboo pole I found behind his back, covering his eyes with his hands, making him look like a golden rooster stands alone.
Seeing that Brother Zhengchuan was in trouble, I couldn't help but add: "Besides, they have never read Journey to the West, so let me tell you what's wrong?"
At this time, Brother Zhengchuan helplessly pulled the Golden Rooster's independent "Sun Wukong" and asked him as if he knew him: "What's the best at home? This is my brother, I should be in the same class with you in the future."
"It's okay." Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly realized, and answered Brother Zhengchuan.
Brother Zhengchuan breathed a sigh of relief, but Sun Wukong smiled at me, more like a monkey. He said to me: "Is your name Ye Zhengling? My name is Hou Cong?"
Hou Cong? I was stunned this time. Why is there such an appropriate name in this world? A smart monkey?
