Zhou Tang said stubbornly, "I just want to get to know my mother! I don't want my memory of her to stay in the neighbors' gossips, others' hesitations, and my father's avoidance!"
"I'm an adult and I can handle everything about her."
Zhou Tang's brows furrowed and his eyes were fixed on his deskmate. There was a hint of gloom and a bit of sympathy in the deskmate's eyes.
The deskmate turned around and laughed, "Since you insist on knowing everything, I will definitely support you unconditionally!"
"Hey, this street has been ruined by us, why don't we go somewhere else for a walk!"
Zhou Tang pursed his lips, and it was obvious that his deskmate knew such trivial things. Maybe the elders in the family had said something casually, or maybe they had heard the gossip outside.
But he couldn't give her the answer she asked for.
Zhou Tang stood still, "No need! I want to be alone."
"Go on your own! Goodbye."
But my deskmate refused to let go, "No, no! You have to accompany me! Really, believe me, I discovered a good place two days ago! You will definitely be interested too."
"I wanted you to come with me to see it after school yesterday! Who knew you could run faster than a rabbit! We will definitely have time to see it when we go today."
Seeing that Zhou Tang was unmoved, he immediately put on a bitter expression to gain sympathy, "My good roommate, please go with me. I will make sure your trip is worthwhile."
Seeing that he was in a strong mood, Zhou Tang agreed half-heartedly, but still showed his displeasure with a cold face, "You lead the way."
Her deskmate smiled happily and took her hand and ran towards the end of Jin Street.
While running, he complained, "You said that this Golden Street has not changed at all from when I was a child until I became an adult. There are just a few shops here and there! I didn't have any sense of expectation while shopping. .”
"But having said that, there are so many shops and they have everything, which is pretty good! But I still miss the roast duck I had when I was in elementary school! It was so fragrant that I am drooling just thinking about it now. ”
The person sitting at the same table was chattering nonstop, and there were pedestrians walking around them, as well as the breeze brought by their jogging.
if…
There were no what-ifs. When the two of them walked out of Jin Street, their deskmate pulled Zhou Tang towards the path. They went wherever there was a corner. The road became narrower and narrower, but they still kept walking.
Until both of them were out of breath from running, their deskmate pulled Zhou Tang towards a road with an end, with residential areas on both sides of the road.
This aisle seems ordinary, but it is also somewhat interesting.
The houses on both sides did not have windows facing the aisle.
My deskmate put his hands on his knees and gasped...
Zhou Tang calmed down a little and looked around. He really didn't see anything special here. If there was anything special...
That should be behind this tall white wall!
Zhou Tang did not say it directly, but deliberately misunderstood, "There is nothing special here."
The deskmate straightened his back and said, "You didn't know this! There's nothing interesting to see on these two sides! What I want to show you is the world behind the white wall."
The world behind white walls?
This is a strange statement!
Isn't it the same place as where they are now?
My deskmate squatted down close to the white wall, "Hey! Step on my shoulders and I'll send you up!"
Zhou Tang had no reason to reject such a sincere deskmate. She took two steps forward, carefully raised her foot and stepped on the deskmate's shoulder. She held the white wall with one hand and supported the deskmate's head with the other.
My deskmate bared his teeth and joked, "Hey! Don't tell me, you look lean and lean, but I didn't expect you to be quite heavy!"
Zhou Tang supported his deskmate's head with one hand, and then stood up unsteadily with his hands on the white wall.
But she thought that my height plus a half-crouching deskmate were still half a meter short of the top of the white wall!
"Stop talking about this. Stand up!"
The deskmate grinned and held Zhou Tang's ankles with both hands, "Hold on! I'm about to stand up. You must hold on steady and don't fall! If you fall and fall somewhere, Uncle Zhou will definitely not let me go." .”
"Hey, why are you talking so much! Come on! Stand up! Stand up straight! I'm about to hit the wall." Zhou Tang urged ruthlessly.
My deskmate still has some regrets! He didn't expect it to be so difficult to send Zhou Tang to the wall, but come on! He is a boy and he is not in the mood to do such half-measures!
He was so angry that his face turned red, and then he stood upright tremblingly.
At this time, Zhou Tang happened to poke out a furry head from the white wall.
There doesn't seem to be anything special outside the white wall. What you can see is a lake, with water splashing against the stones not far from the white wall.
The lake water hits the stone, making it smooth and translucent...
Looking not far away, there is a large expanse of blue sky and white clouds.
My deskmate was a little unable to hold on, so he urged from under the wall, "Hurry up and climb up! I'll support you below."
"knew."
Zhou Tang tried his best to wave his arms and cling to the wall, standing on tiptoes, leaving only his toes still on the shoulders of his deskmate.
The deskmate held her ankles with his hands and lifted her up. Zhou Tang pretended to work very hard and climbed up the white wall exhausted. He was so tired that he sat astride the bridge and panted.
It took a while before I had the strength to ask, "How did you get up here? Do you want me to help you?"
But my deskmate smiled and said, "Let me show you my skills!"
He waved his big hand towards Zhou Tang, "Move to the side to prevent me from accidentally injuring you."
Zhou Tang held his buttocks with both hands and moved aside to make room for his deskmate.
I saw the people at the same table retreating back a few meters, and then running towards the white wall. With their feet on the white wall, their bodies were stretched very long, and their long arms were just a little short of being able to reach the top of the wall.
Then it fell to the ground...
Zhou Tang couldn't help but reveal a smile.
My deskmate had a dark face. What is this?
He unexpectedly missed the mark! He made a fool of himself in front of Zhou Tang.
The so-called tolerable is unbearable! Is this what was supposed to happen to him?
He became so angry that he had no choice but to throw the blame away, "Yes, I just put a lot of effort into sending you up there! So much so that I'm exhausted now!"
"Just wait! I will definitely be able to climb up this time."
Zhou Tang nodded in agreement and said loudly, "Come on! I'm optimistic about you!"
My deskmate stretched out his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose, then started walking again, taking a running start...
This time, his fingertips touched the wall, but the fingertips were not strong enough to support the weight of his entire body.
The face of my deskmate became even darker. Of course, I had already failed twice. Not only did I lose face, but I also had to put my face on the ground and rub it...
This time, he didn't care about any shameless things. He once again exerted his strength and stepped on the white wall...
Zhou Tang directly grabbed the hand of his deskmate and pulled it up hard.
It can be said that after a lot of effort, the arms of his deskmate finally hugged the wall tightly, and then with Zhou Tang's help, he finally sat on the wall.
Zhou Tang adjusted his posture and faced the river.
After a long time, it was so long that his deskmate had regained the dignity he had just lost and became natural and unbeatable again. Zhou Tang opened his mouth and praised, "Well, the scenery here is pretty good."
"Really! It looks good here! It's much better than the blue sky, white clouds and green trees that are played all year round outside the school window! Do you know that the scenery from that window is played repeatedly every day... It's quite boring! "
Zhou Tang took a deep breath. Only different scenery can mobilize different emotions in people's hearts.
"Yeah! It's much prettier than the school scenery."
My deskmate chuckled and whispered, "The scenery here is one thing, but there are other more fun things!"
"Huh? What?" Zhou Tang didn't even turn his head, which was quite perfunctory.
The deskmate didn't care. He knew that what he had pointed out in the past two days would definitely shock Zhou Tang! And cast an admiring look at him.
"Look towards the intersection of the blue sky and the lake."
"Did you find a black and blue part of that long strip?"
Zhou Tang looked over intently as his deskmate said.
They were too far there, and she couldn't see clearly.
At this time a pair of binoculars was thrust into her hand.
Zhou Tang turned to look at his deskmate, who licked his lips forward and said, "Look with this! You can see everything clearly!"
"You have to be careful! Don't let go! This thing is called a telescope. I've only seen it in books! This is my dad's collection! I sneaked it out! I'll have to go home later. Return it to its original position!”
"Can you use it? Just rotate it... and the objects in the mirror will zoom in and out."
Zhou Tang held the telescope up to his eyes and looked straight at the intersection of the blue sky and the lake. However, the scene was just like the scene described by his deskmate.
The picture is not very coherent, one part is blue and the other is black! It was like the curtain was broken.
"What's happening here?"
"Of course the curtain is broken!"
"The curtain here must be broken. The people from their maintenance department haven't discovered this yet. Or there are other jobs in the past few days. Repairing the curtain will have to wait for a few days."
The deskmate sighed, "I guess we won't be able to see this scene in a few days."
For my deskmate, this bug is the fun thing he discovered.
But for Zhou Tang...
Zhou Tang calmly put down the telescope and handed it back to his deskmate, "How wide is this lake? It looks like the water is quite shallow."
My deskmate took the telescope and put it directly to his eyes, "Hey! How many black ones did you see? I saw one the day before yesterday! Yesterday it was two! Why did it become five today!"
Zhou Tang replied, "We went out of our way to count. It's about three to five yuan! How come there are more infections?"
The deskmate nodded first, then shook his head, "I don't know either! It seems like the people in their maintenance department never discovered this place, which caused it to change more and more!"
"Are your father and others responsible for this?"
Zhou Tang was stunned for a moment and then shook his head. My father never talks to me about work.
"Oh, my dad is the same! According to him, his job must be kept secret! Where do you think he works? He doesn't even trust his own son."
Suddenly, the deskmate put down the telescope in his hand and looked at Zhou Tang, "Don't tell your father what we discovered! We also have to keep our secret base a secret."
Zhou Tang nodded, "Don't worry! If he doesn't tell me, I won't tell him either! This is a secret between you and me."
The tablemate looked relieved and whispered, "What did you mean when you asked me how wide the lake was?"
Without waiting for Zhou Tang to come up with a reasonable explanation, his deskmate said in a cowardly manner, "I know what you mean. I also want to take a look at the intersection of water and sky! Take a look at what it looks like outside the curtain."
Zhou Tang pretended to be shocked, "What do you mean!"
"I know you understand me best! I also understand what you think! We all want to leave here and see the outside world."
Zhou Tang was stunned. She had read such thoughts from this body's diary, but she didn't expect that she would also tell her deskmate about such thoughts.
"I…"
But my deskmate was quite troubled, "But we don't have a boat! We can't swim!"
Where they live, there is no place for them to swim.
"Can you build a boat?"
Zhou Tang pointed back at his face in a funny way, "I think we should think about how deep this lake is!"
Zhou Tang naturally knows how to swim.
But she wanted to do the opposite. There shouldn't be a lot of water stored in the underground space, but the lake was dark blue and looked quite deep.
Could it be that this is all fake! Psychologically, it is instilled in them that this lake is unfathomable, which brings great pressure to them, landlubbers who cannot swim.
My deskmate was very smart, "You said this lake is very shallow!? Yes, where do we get so much water here?! And the water resources here are also very scarce! The water sold is not enough for us to drink."
"And take a shower. I haven't taken a shower for more than half a month..."
The voice of my deskmate slowly dropped, as if he was blurting out a terrible secret!
Today is really going to kill him!
He patted the mouth of the door that could not be closed tightly...
He was so angry.
Of course, Zhou Tang acted like a lady and did not laugh at the embarrassing incident of her deskmate.
My deskmate was very brave, "How about we go down and give it a try now!"
Zhou Tang grabbed his hand and said, "You are too bold!"
"We don't know the depth of the water here! Besides, if you go down now, how to get up is still a problem! Why don't we think of other methods!"
In the end, my deskmate still suffered from the fact that he had never been exposed to such a large amount of water since he was a child. He still couldn't get over it psychologically.
"Then let's think about how to build a ship!"
"Building a boat is too complicated! You can think about how to make bamboo rafts!"
"Bamboo rafts? Are you talking about bamboo? Where do we have any bamboo here?"
Zhou Tang was speechless and patted his head angrily, "I still remember the book said..."
"That's what the book says!"
"I've been sitting here on the wall for a long time, let's go home!"
My deskmate looked over and over again with a telescope, and finally said reluctantly.
Zhou Tang nodded, stretched his long legs to cross the wall, and jumped off the wall.
Her deskmate grabbed her and said, "Hey! You're such a tiger! Just wait. I'll go down first, and then I'll pick you up from below."
Zhou Tang reluctantly agreed in order not to be exposed in front of his colleagues.
My deskmate put his hands on the wall and drew along the wall.
He opened his arms below and said, "Hurry up and jump down! I'll catch you!"
Zhou Tang, however, imitated his previous posture, sliding down against the wall, and then half-crouched to the ground as a buffer.
