"Brother, when did you come back?"
"It's today, what's wrong?"
"Huh? I remember it's not even the summer vacation month yet. Why are you back?"
As expected, as soon as the two of them talked, the other party started to question He Fei. The specific process was exactly the same as when his mother had just questioned him. Seeing this, He Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seems that his sister's character is really impressed by his mother. , the first sentence after meeting was the same as that of his mother, asking a question that all truant male students are unwilling to answer. Even so, He Fei is He Fei after all. This question is very important to the actual reason. Cursing the relationship and really being in a state of truancy, he naturally had a way to deal with it, so He Fei used his eloquence to chat frequently. First, he explained cleverly in a relaxed tone, and then said that he had something to do when he came back this time. On the surface, the young man's explanation was perfect. ,However……
What He Fei never expected was that after the explanation ended, He Meng was not fooled as easily as his mother. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and immediately analyzed the young man's so-called "something to do", and then said a series of Shocking remarks that stunned college students:
………
"You said that you deliberately asked for leave to go home because you had something to do. But based on my personal understanding of you, I don't think you will have any big things to do. And with your attitude of always attaching importance to learning, you are unlikely to Give up studying and go home first. At the same time, the root cause is definitely not with your family. The reason is very simple. Since you haven’t contacted your family for a long time, you won’t know anything about your family. The same goes for my unexplained illness. Since the root cause is not with my family, body, then the root cause must be from you personally. Since it is from you personally, then what is the reason that caused you to go home early despite everything?"
"Based on your personality, first of all, we can rule out the possibility of you causing trouble outside, and then we can rule out the possibility of something happening at school. If you need money urgently, you don't have to go home deliberately. You can just call your family and ask your family to send it. In addition, you are not in good health. So, based on the above arguments, I personally guess that the reason why you came back uncharacteristically is that you encountered some kind of change, some kind of sudden change that you couldn't resist personally. In the end, you had to be forced by that unknown change. Let’s go home. As for what the so-called sudden change refers to? Maybe..."
"Wait! Stop, stop! Stop talking, don't think too much, I'm back this time because I won the lottery!"
As they talked more and more deeply, and as they talked more solemnly, He Meng used a series of clear logical reasoning to analyze various doubts. Beside the bed, He Fei began to sweat on his forehead, and his face gradually became unnatural. In the end, he simply waved his hand to stop, He was too busy to stop the girl from continuing the analysis. In his panic, he didn't even care to keep the surprise of winning the prize, so he just blurted it out directly.
God knows if the other party will be able to guess the key to the problem if they continue to analyze it like this. Although He Meng only talked about the change, he actually didn’t know what the change was. Even so, He Fei actually encountered a change, one that far surpassed all others. The terrible accident that people imagine, without that accident, based on time, He Fei would not be able to be here now.
(Damn, how long has it been since we last met? This girl’s analytical skills have become so powerful. Damn it...)
As described above, as an elder brother, He Fei certainly knew that his sister's reasoning ability was not inferior to his own, but after contacting him again after a few months, he suddenly realized that the situation had changed, or that he had never expected that this girl's His reasoning ability has improved so rapidly. In just a short moment, he not only pointed out the flaws in his words, but even analyzed his excuses by inferences. Especially the last sentence almost made He Fei jump, and he was worried that this girl would Guess the cursed space by following the clues.
Of course, this is impossible. Unless the other party is a god, it is impossible for anyone to guess the truth without clues. But then again, being able to analyze so much from the loopholes in He Fei's words is enough. amazing.
"Cough, cough!"
Back to the topic, at this moment, looking at the slightly funny panic look of his brother next to him, He Meng, whose face was pale due to illness, couldn't help but laugh. However, Xu's smile was a bit sudden. The next moment, the girl showed pain on her face. He coughed on the spot. Seeing this, He Fei was startled and quickly reached out to pat him. While patting the other person's back, he looked worried and said, "Are you okay?"
After coughing and looking slightly relieved, He Meng shook his head, then forcibly put on a nonchalant expression, raised his head and said to He Fei: "Tch, you don't have to be so nervous, a little illness can't hit me, as for those broken things of yours." I am too lazy to pay attention to the matter or to delve into it, and I will not tell my mother the above analysis. Can you rest assured now?"
At this point, He Meng changed the topic, and then asked again with doubts on her face: "By the way, brother, why did you go home early this time? Tell the truth, you must never tell me that you really won the lottery. Do you think it’s possible?”
Faced with the girl's probing questions, He Fei would naturally not tell the truth. After all, he neither dared nor could tell his family that he was trapped in a cursed space. If this was the case, the result could be expected. As soon as the other party finished speaking, He Fei said He raised his chin with a sullen expression, and finally nodded and confirmed with an unquestioning tone: "Hey, why are you, a little girl, so unpleasant to listen to? What do you mean it's impossible? Let me tell you the truth, your brother I did win the lottery. Not only did I win, but it was also the first-class grand prize, a total of 3 million yuan! The reason why I took leave specifically to come back was to give this good news and the money to my parents."
"You, what did you say!?"
Contrary to speculation, in reality everyone except the executor is very concerned about money, even He Meng is no exception. Sure enough, when He Fei confirmed the news of winning the prize, the girl's first reaction was shock. Just as He Fei understands his sister, He Meng also understands her brother better than anyone else. She knows that the young man is a person who rarely lies, and even when he is joking, he often knows how to measure it. Because of this , so after her brother confirmed it again and again, the girl chose to believe it and did not just regard it as a joke like her mother did earlier.
"Brother, you...did you really win 3 million?"
The young man who answered her nodded affirmatively.
"Doesn't that mean..."
"Well, this means that from now on, our family will no longer have to live in the same financial constraints as before. From now on, my parents can enjoy peace and happiness, and Xiaomeng, you can also buy whatever you want!"
With a sonorous and powerful voice and an extremely solemn expression, He Fei answered his sister in a tone that left no room for doubt.
As a digression, He Fei originally wanted to bring more money home, but reality forced him to do so. The young man also had his own personal worries. It is true that the value of money in the cursed space is extremely low, but it is limited after all, and the curse cannot be infinite. Provided for the executor, and the 3 million he takes home now is three-fifths of the property He Fei has accumulated since he stayed in the cursed space for so long. Not to mention the limited funds, not to mention that the amount is too large to be purchased. To explain winning the lottery, 3 million is actually quite enough, at least for He Fei's family. Moreover, the purpose of his return to reality this time is to reunite with his family for the last time and say goodbye to them for the last time. Yes, farewell. For He Fei, who is trapped in the cursed space, if he doesn't take this opportunity to see his relatives again, then he may not have a chance in the future.
In the bedroom, seeing He Fei's promise, He Meng was happy and smiling for a while. However, the only regret was that, just like before, due to his illness and excitement, He Meng once again looked in pain and coughed violently. He asked He Fei to turn his attention to his sister again. After helping his sister to lie down and covering her with a quilt, He Fei pondered for a moment, and then with a suspicious look on his face, He Fei asked tentatively: "Xiaomeng, tell me, are you sick?" What's going on? Why do you feel uncomfortable but don't have a fever? And didn't your parents take you to the hospital for a checkup? "
"No, in fact, my mother took me to the hospital for examination as early as the first day I felt unwell, but... well, how should I put it, the whole thing even feels strange to me, or I still don't know what I am doing What's wrong."
"Huh? You said you don't know? What's going on?"
As mentioned above, looking at her brother's serious expression and listening to the other party's questioning words, He Meng first shook her head and denied that she had not gone to the hospital. Then she began to narrate under He Fei's repeated questioning, telling the truth about her recent discomfort and inexplicable illness. inform.
The condition is weird, and the story is also slightly weird.
Through the narrative, it turns out that He Meng's strange disease was only discovered last week. It was a Thursday afternoon. At that time, He Meng was listening to the teacher's lecture in the school classroom with other students. However, for some reason, He Meng unexpectedly stopped during the lecture. Suddenly I felt dizzy. Well, if I had to describe it in detail, it would be similar to the early symptoms of gas poisoning. Even so, in fact, the above is still not the key. Next, something happened that surprised He Meng...
Not only was she suffering from dizziness at that moment, but even the classmates around her and even the teacher on the podium showed signs of pain and dizziness. People were shaking their hands and heads. For a moment, the whole classroom was in chaos. Unexpectedly, it was even more disturbing. People were still surprised at the back. After the class collectively developed symptoms, almost at the same time, teachers and students in nearby classes also developed dizziness symptoms. It was not until later that He Meng learned the truth. It turned out that the entire school was like this at that time!
Everyone, almost everyone, whether they were students, teachers or school staff, all those who were in the school were suffering from a sudden illness, and they all suffered from strange dizzy symptoms that afternoon.
Fortunately, it was only a slight dizziness in the early stage. Strictly speaking, the symptoms were far from causing a coma or loss of mobility on the spot. At least most people were still conscious. As expected, as the symptoms appeared, many people immediately suspected It was food poisoning, and then it was classified as a large-scale food poisoning incident. Yes, although the high school where He Meng attended was not a closed boarding school, the school still had regulations, which stipulated that students were not allowed to go home after school at noon. Group meals in the school cafeteria. Regarding such regulations, although the school claims that it is to consider the safety of students' transportation and personal safety, in fact it is just to make more money from students. This is also one of the common methods of making money in many schools today. He Meng's heart was clear, and He Fei also knew that the high school where his sister attended had such a deceptive rule.
It is conceivable that since the school stipulates that all students must go to the cafeteria for lunch, and many faculty and staff often choose the cafeteria to save trouble, seeing sudden symptoms, many people naturally think of collective food poisoning at the first time. At the same time, this is also logical. Of course, the above is just an afterthought. As symptoms of vertigo appeared in the campus, many hospitals in the city were undoubtedly overcrowded that evening. Most of the people who went to the hospital to see the doctor were students from the high school and their parents who came with them. Others were like this, and He Meng was no exception. Accompanied by her mother, she went to a large hospital in the city center for treatment.
Seeing this, some people may ask where is their father? Why not show up? In fact, it was not that his father was not present, but that he did not know about it at all. The reason was that the other party was still working underground in the coal mine at the time. In fact, his mother had called his father as early as the day He Meng became ill. Unfortunately, the call could not be reached. The reason still came from his father's work. environment.
Yes, when talking about this, we have to mention the working environment of underground coal mines. Generally speaking, except for a few open-pit coal mines, most coal mining is carried out hundreds of meters underground. Since it is underground, the working place cannot be seen. Even if there is a trace of sunlight, the light source can only rely on road lights and workers’ own headlights for lighting. He Fei and He Meng’s father is an underground coal miner. This type of work can be said to be tiring and hard. There are nearly 10 people in one shift. Working hours, when he goes into the well, he is covered in coal dust and looks like a black man. However, it is precisely because of the hard work that the shearers earn a lot more monthly wages than other types of work. Generally speaking, it is quite rich. Otherwise, my father would also It is impossible for both his son and daughter to attend college and high school at the same time. There is no doubt that since it is underground, it is impossible to receive a signal for mobile phones, not to mention that the mine itself prohibits mobile phones from being carried underground. At that time, the person my mother called my father happened to be. Work underground.
After discovering that her husband's mobile phone could not be dialed, the mother immediately guessed that her husband was working underground at that time, so the mother rushed to the school alone, and then sent her children to a nearby hospital like other parents who came to pick up their children.
The only strange thing is that although the vertigo symptoms came on suddenly, they went away as quickly as they came. In fact, He Meng's vertigo disappeared just as her mother and He Meng were queuing up at the hospital, along with other sick students. .
It seems that the symptoms disappear and it seems to be back to normal, but in fact, the weirdness has just begun...
