Even the ones taken from the pagoda are still considered theft. Give them to me. Hu Yingzi shouted in a commanding tone.
Qi Liang said forget it and told him not to take it again next time. He also asked him why Taoist Tan in the pagoda asked you to take the offerings?
Taoist Tan went out to perform religious duties and did not return. Xu Sijin had no choice but to tell the truth.
It is still an act of theft, forget it this time, and you must not get the offerings next time. Qi Liang told him so, and he reluctantly nodded.
Hu Yingzi asked again, where have you been skipping school these days? The head teacher has come to find you today. Xu Sijin was stunned for a while, and then slowly explained the situation. He didn't want to study anymore, his grades couldn't keep up with his younger classmates, he had no face, and he often found people pointing fingers and calling him a fool.
In this way, he skipped school and took the two boys with whom he got along well and loved to play in the second grade of junior high school with him. Where did they escape to? Playing on the other side of the Longpan River near the school.
Watching Taoist Tan in the pagoda on the mountain beside the river, when they came out of the pagoda, they went in to get apples and other offerings to eat, and they had something to eat and play with. Their behavior when entering the tower was unethical, and they were afraid that Taoist Tan would find out, so every time they entered, one of the three people would always leave one person outside the tower to watch the wind. The people ran to the door of the tower and shouted, and then they fled away with some fruits.
Qi Liang said, if you do this, be careful not to offend the gods. Qi Bin shook his head and said, Dad, how can there be a god? You talk superstitiously. Qi Lin also chimed in. If there really were gods, who would dare to steal the offerings in the tower? If you take it, you will be caught by the gods.
Hu Yingzi shouted that no matter whether it has gods or not, it is not allowed to steal the fruits offered in the tower. Those fruits are offered by pilgrims, and only Taoist Tan, who is guarding the pagoda, can take and eat them. If Taoist Tan takes the initiative to give the fruits offered in the pagoda to you little ones, then it will be fine. Four pounds, remember? Never go to the pagoda to steal offerings in the future.
Xu Sijin nodded. Hu Yingzi said fiercely to him again, "Go to school with me tomorrow. What's the future if you don't go to school?" If you don't want to go to school, get out of here. Qi Liang was like a popular singer, and said kindly, "Listen to your mother. Your mother, including me, are all for your own good." Qi Liang nodded again and placed the bag of apples on the table. Qi Liang said again, it’s okay to take the apple home, it will keep us safe! It's just immoral to steal like this.
Xu Sijin finally passed the test in front of his mother and stepfather. He had nothing to do all night, and went to school in a well-behaved manner the next day, carrying his schoolbag. Hu Yingzi also pulled Qi Bin aside, who was studying at the same school as Sijin and was in the first grade of junior high school, and said, "Can you help me see if he has gone to school?" If you don't go, tell me quietly when you come back from school, and I will treat him well.
In the middle of the morning, Hu Yingzi still carried a load of water to water the seedlings in the garden. After watering the seedlings, she also picked up the weeds. She was bending over with a hoe to remove a weed when she suddenly heard footsteps and shouts. , Auntie, something happened to Si Jin.
Before Hu Yingzi could pick up the hoe, he turned his head and looked at Qi Bin in a daze. Qi Bin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, Auntie, Four Jin is crazy. Hu Yingzi then asked, why is he crazy?
Qi Liang gave the clue. Just after the second class in the morning, he was doing inter-class exercises. However, Xu Sijin did not do exercises. He got down from his seat in the classroom. A classmate saw him rolling on the ground, rolling all over his body. It was ashes, and his face was also dusty. Then he sat on the ground and stared out the window blankly, letting out a scream.
The classmate told the class teacher that the class teacher came over and asked him what he was doing, but he didn't answer. He just laughed and giggled at the class teacher. The head teacher, Teacher Xiong, was frightened and quickly ran out of the classroom to find Principal Tian, saying that Xu Sijin was crazy.
The strange thing is that Xia Gao and Long Lai from the second grade (first) class also went crazy at the same time. They had the same symptoms as Xu Sijin. They fell to the ground first, covered in ash, and their faces were also ash, and then they said: Screams, then giggles. Many students gathered around to watch, not bothering to do the recess exercises. Principal Tian walked over and yelled away the students who were watching.
Principal Tian called the three class teachers aside and said, "It's wrong. Yesterday you visited the parents of three students who played truant. Today they all came to school, but they all went crazy. Our school has no responsibility to treat them." But we have the responsibility to tell their parents to come to the school to pick them up quickly, so that they can go to the hospital for treatment in time...
Qi Bin also told Hu Yingzi that the school knew about Xu Sijin's relationship with him, so it asked him to come back and call his parent Hu Yingzi. After hearing this, Hu Yingzi was very anxious. She came out of the vegetable garden, went home and changed her clothes. She looked at her makeup in front of the full-length mirror, and then hurried to school with Qi Bin.
Qi Bin naturally went back to class. Principal Tian greeted Hu Yingzi and said that the three truant students had committed some evil act and all went crazy after the second period. If we had known this, our school would not have cared about it. , let them continue to skip school.
Principal Tian, don’t say that. The child suddenly went crazy. No one expected it. How could we blame the school? It is also right for the school to send the head teacher to visit our parents and let the children come to school.
Hu Yingzi spoke very sensibly and looked around. Principal Tian knew that she wanted to look after the child, so he took her to the door of a room next to the cafeteria where the sundries were kept. He looked at the steamers, steamers, pots and bowls used in the cafeteria piled up in the corridor and said, "Let's put the things inside All the things were cleared out, and the three students who suddenly went crazy were locked inside. I was afraid that they would affect other students, so I just waited for your parents to come and take them away one by one.
When Hu Yingzi approached here, he heard laughter in the room. Occasionally, it was the kind of happy laughter. If you listen carefully, you can see that it is different from happy laughter. Because he keeps laughing, he has a silly feeling. When Hu Yingzi heard the mixed laughter, she couldn't tell which sound belonged to her child. Anyway, she felt cold in her heart.
Principal Tian took the key and unlocked the door, and then pushed the door open. He saw three classmates sitting on the ground, looking at each other and smiling stupidly. They were all gray, and their faces were also gray, except for the one who was grinning. Teeth are still white.
At this moment, the three students didn't feel the door open at all, and turned a blind eye to Principal Tian and Hu Yingzi standing at the door, as if no one was coming at all. In addition to laughing, they also rolled on the ground from time to time.
The floor was dirty, full of dust and debris, and there was a musty smell, and even an unpleasant odor. It turned out that a thin-faced boy had pooped under the wall by the window. He was grabbing a handful of poop and putting it in his mouth, with a happy smile on his face. But the fat-faced boy also grabbed a handful of shit and stuffed it into his mouth.
