"It must be delicious."

By a river, Peter Parker caught a few fish from the river and was grilling them. At this time, a little girl came over with a basket, as if attracted by the aroma.

The little girl was wearing a white dress. She was a white girl of twelve or thirteen years old. In her basket were many mushrooms picked from the woods by the river.

After Peter left New York, he headed west in a straight line. He didn't take the road or go to the city.Now people all over the world know his appearance, and he doesn't have much money, so he might as well cross the United States in a straight line, so that he can cultivate and find food.

Peter picked up a wooden stick and gave a grilled fish to the little girl, smiling: "It's delicious."

The girl took the wooden stick, blew it hard, took a bite, and thanked: "Thank you, it's really delicious."

Seeing the girl's hungry look, Peter asked: "Are you hungry? Where are your parents?"

The little girl replied: "They were at home, and I sneaked out. I'm bored to death from staying at home every day."

Peter asked curiously: "You are at home every day, don't you have to go to school?"

The little girl replied: "There is a monster in the town, and people in the town generally don't dare to come out."

Seeing that the girl quickly ate all the fish, Peter gave her another one, and then they both ate the rest of the fish together.

Peter Parker stood up and made his choice.Although Peter wanted to hurry up, he couldn't ignore monsters attacking the townspeople.Know that bad things will happen, and if you don't do it if you have the ability, that's your own responsibility.

The little girl took Peter to a nearby town.

The environment around this small town is very pleasant, like a paradise, with green trees, grass, fields, gardens, and lakes full of life, but the small town is lifeless.

Roads, houses, public facilities were severely damaged and it felt like someone was letting off steam.There was basically no traffic in the town, and most of them stayed at home to avoid monsters.

The little girl took Peter to her home. Peter found that she was not a poor girl, and the environment at home was pretty good.

"Sparking the World" brought disaster to the world, but it had little impact on the people with land in the countryside.Land is inherent, and in those five years, they also accumulated a lot of wealth using smart technology.

"God, my little angel, where have you gone? Don't you know it's dangerous outside?"

After entering the house, the little girl's mother quickly picked up her child with a worried look on her face.

Peter was a little embarrassed standing at the door. He waved and greeted politely: "Hi~ Hello."

The little girl's father came forward. He was a burly white man wearing glasses. He asked the girl: "My little princess, who is he? Is he your friend?"

The little girl was hugged by her mother and replied: "Dad, it was my little brother who brought me back and treated me to a lot of grilled fish. The fish is so delicious."

"That one is very unhygienic." The mother looked at her husband and said, "Isn't he a beggar?"

It’s not surprising that my mother has such thoughts.Peter set out in a hurry and ran more than 400 kilometers all the way from New York State to Ohio. He didn't take a shower along the way and was smelly.

"No, you can't be Peter Parker, Spider-Man." The man seemed to recognize Peter Parker, and he continued in surprise: "You must be, I am your super fan."

The family of three looked at Peter in surprise. Peter scratched his head and smiled shyly: "I am Spider-Man, and I am on my way to practice now. I am going to Nevada, but I heard your little princess say there are monsters here. , so I came here.”

"Oh my God, it's really you, the Avengers superhero Spider-Man"

The parents were overjoyed and felt that their town was saved.The little girl still looked very cute and asked her mother: "Mom, is he Spider-Man? Then why is he not wearing a spider suit?"

Mom doesn't know either.Peter suddenly jumped to the ceiling, then stuck on top, and said to the little girl: "My little brother is practicing, so he didn't bring the suit over."

The little girl jumped for joy and shouted: "He is really Spider-Man, mom, mom"

The family brought Peter into the living room very enthusiastically. Mother brought bread and milk from the kitchen to treat Peter Parker, but Peter did not eat.There is a monster in the town, and the family must be in short supply of food.

Peter sat on the sofa and asked: "Can you tell me about the monster? I want to defeat him as soon as possible and then go to Nevada."

The man seemed to be speechless and asked: "You are going to Nevada, which is on the west coast of the United States. Why don't you make a plane?"

Peter answered honestly: "This is practice, I have to run."

The man said in disbelief: "Are you going to cross the United States? But you are Spider-Man. It is difficult for us ordinary people to understand your world."

Peter lowered his head and said, "Sir, I'm in a hurry. I have to arrive in Nevada within 58 hours. You'd better tell me about the monster, right?"

The mother patted the man's thigh, and the man exhaled and said, "He is not a monster, he is my student, and his name is Hank Lades. This is all my fault."

"Honey, it's not your fault."

"No, it's my fault. He's a good kid."

The man got a little frustrated and started thinking about the past.

This man is a middle school teacher in the town, and the Hank he calls is his student. He is a very introverted and sensible boy.But this boy named Hank is different from other children. He has the ability to turn his body to stone, thus becoming a monster in the eyes of the town.

Later, because of Hank, their family was driven out of the town because Hank did something too extreme.Hank injured more than a dozen classmates and vandalized the school, so the people in the town were afraid of his abilities and drove the family out of town.

The man said with guilt: "It was my fault. I should have understood the situation at that time instead of being afraid of his ability. People need to understand and be considerate of each other instead of discriminating and hating."

"Dear." The mother also knew about this. She hugged her husband to comfort him.

Peter asked: "Why is this happening?"

The man said: "Hank is a monster in the eyes of his classmates. He has always been ostracized, discriminated against, and even bullied at school. Hank's parents reported it to the school, but we didn't pay attention to it. To be honest, the school didn't like Hank staying. In school, adults' cold stares can kill.

The long-standing repression made Hank explode.He injured more than a dozen classmates who bullied him and destroyed the school. He hated his classmates, his teachers, and his school.This made the conflict irreconcilable and Hank's family had to leave town. "

The man felt a little excited when he recalled it. If he, as a teacher at that time, could understand, be considerate and help Hank, what happened today would not have happened.

The man picked up the cup, took a sip of water and said, "He came back six years later. He came for revenge. He hates this town."
