Ordinary life in fast time travel

Zhang Lin paused for arranging his clothes, and the feeling of being stared at came back.He glanced around calmly, thought for a while and said, "Go to the dormitory at the back."

The dormitory is next to the back mountain. Because the terrain is relatively high, you have to go up a steep slope first, and then walk through a walkway with tall trees planted on both sides.The two stomped on the leaves and made a rustling sound.

The trees next to it looked freshly cut, and the ground was littered with cut branches.Looking at these broken roots and limbs, Zhang Lin suddenly felt blackness in front of his eyes, and many images flashed in his mind.

"Uncle, why did you cut off this branch?"

"The school cut it down, and the tree branch was knocked down by the typhoon. It's not good for you to block your walk. Xiaocheng stand a little bit farther away, and the tree branch will hit you in a while."

"Oh."

"Go back and watch TV. The key is in the uncle's pocket. The uncle's hands are dirty. You can take it out yourself."

"No."

"Oh, uncle forgot, it seems to be the pocket on the left."

……

Zhang Lin's legs were weak, but he walked very fast. There were a few steps at the corner, and there was an iron gate with the words Boys' Dormitory written on it.Li Qi tugged at him: "Go back, don't watch. Your face is as pale as a dead person!"

Zhang Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I'm fine."

The iron gate squeaked and was pushed open by Zhang Lin. The yard in front of the dormitory building was full of freshly cut branches. The row of trees was bare and very quiet.Only the sound of TV and people talking and laughing could be heard in a small room next to it, and one of them could be heard to be the

Uncle security guard who opened the door.

Another voice was older, "We used to chop with knives, but now it's much more convenient, and there are chainsaws."

The security uncle replied something, and the two laughed happily.

This voice made Zhang Lin's head throbbing with pain, and there were conversations echoing in his ears.

"Lock the door when you sleep, and no candles are allowed at night."

"We know, Uncle Dong."

"Well,... By the way, Xiao Yao, Zhou Cheng hasn't come back yet?"

"He said he went back to live with his relatives."

"Oh? I don't think I saw him go out?"

……

Maybe because they heard the movement outside, two people came out of the security room and looked straight at them.Zhang Lin was shaking badly, suddenly his body went limp and he passed out.

The security uncle who opened the door for them was surprised: "Hey, Mr. Li, your friend... what's wrong with him."

Li Qi didn't have the time to answer him. Fortunately, the two were close and the person didn't fall to the ground. He called Zhou Cheng twice, picked him up and walked out.

The person next to the security uncle said: "Why don't you let him go to the security room to rest for a while."

Li Qi's face was tense.With one long leg, he walked away without looking back.

As soon as he left the school gate, he hailed a taxi and went back to the hotel. The person in his arms was shaking, his face was covered with sweat, as if he was having a nightmare.Li Qi patted his face and said something in a low voice, but there was no response.

Zhang Lin was dreaming. He dreamed of Zhou Cheng, who was in the first year of junior high school. In the dream, Zhou Cheng's mother took him to a two-story residential building. The iron gate opened, and Jiang Hai's mother came out to greet them. into the house.

"Come in quickly, don't worry, I will ask Xiao Hai's father to put him in the top class."

"No, no. Ordinary classes are the same, right, Xiao Cheng."

Zhou Cheng nodded and said, Aunt Chen, my grades are very average, I don't want top classes, I can't keep up.

Chen Ying said that the top class has the advantages of the top class, and it's not just a matter of Xiaohai's father.

Jiang Hai's father that Chen Ying mentioned was the principal of this middle school in the county seat.

They walked up the stairs while talking. The second floor was very lively. Several male students in school uniforms were playing games in the living room.Chen Ying waved to the boy sitting in the middle of the sofa: "Son, this is the little orange that mom mentioned to you. I will transfer to school this semester, so come over and say hello to my brother."

Jiang Hai was concentrating on playing the game, so he glanced casually: "No time!"

Chen Ying muttered a few words, Jiang Hai threw the game controller on the sofa beside him impatiently, he took a group of his classmates and left, saying that he was going to the Internet cafe, and when he was going down the stairs, he bumped Zhou Hai on purpose. Orange shoulders.

In any case, Zhou Cheng stayed at Jiang Hai's house, and the two of them never got along well.It should be said that Jiang Hai's unilateral view of Zhou Cheng was not pleasing to the eye.In the first semester of junior high school, Zhou Cheng proposed to live in a dormitory.

Except for the day students who lived in the county seat, all the students from other villages and towns in this middle school lived in accommodation.Because of the distance, high fares and other reasons, some people do not even go home on weekends.Zhou Cheng has a good classmate named Yao Feng. Like Zhou Cheng, Yao Feng's parents are working away from home and can't take care of him.It was also not long after they transferred to another school, and the two often stayed at school on weekends, so they were familiar with each other.

Although Chen Ying's home is in the county seat, it is very close to the school.When Chen Ying called to urge him to go back on Friday, Zhou Cheng said that he would stay with his classmates and not go back.Chen Ying is also busy, so let him do as he sees that he gets along well with his classmates.

For Zhou Cheng, he felt more comfortable in the dormitory than in Jiang Hai's house.There are more than ten people in the dormitory where he lives, and half of them don't go home on weekends. Every weekend, a group of people get together to eat something good outside, and go to the security room to watch TV at night.

There is a security room at the entrance of the first floor of the boys' dormitory, and there is only one uncle on duty.His name is Dong Ping, and he is in his thirties.Everyone calls him Uncle Dong.Zhou Cheng knew him well, because Zhou Cheng lived in his house when he was a child, and he, Zhou's mother and Jiang Hai's parents were all classmates.

The security room is a small room with one living room, with a sofa and coffee table outside.Inside is the bed and TV.Uncle Dong is good at talking, and the group of people who don't go home on weekends are familiar with him, especially Zhou Cheng, who is one of the regular visitors to the security room because of Zhou's mother's classmate relationship.

This weekend was the same as usual, Zhou Cheng didn't go back to Jiang Hai's house.Because of the typhoon blowing for two days, many tree branches in the dormitory yard were blown off. Dong Ping was cutting trees with a ladder. Zhou Cheng helped him and dragged the cut branches to the corner of the yard.

They will be removed later by cleaners.

Dong Ping's family is also in the county seat, with a wife and children, but he usually doesn't go back much.The relationship between him and his wife is not good. It should not be as simple as being bad. According to Dong Ping, his wife is from the county, and Dong Ping's family is from the countryside. His wife looks down on him very much. Worse than a stranger.

Of course, these are what Dong Ping told Zhou Cheng. He likes to talk about these things when Zhou Cheng is watching TV. Zhou Cheng doesn't think about anything, and occasionally comforts him like an adult.I never felt that anything was wrong, I just regarded it as an elder whose life was not very satisfactory, complaining.

It took a whole day for Dong Ping to clean up the branches that had been knocked down by the typhoon in the yard, and Zhou Cheng had been watching TV in the security room.Dong Ping entered the room, glanced at the person sitting on the bed, "Xiao Cheng, there are snacks under the TV cabinet."

Zhou Cheng said, his attention was all on the TV, it was the rerun of the young Bao Qingtian, Zhou Cheng watched it when he was a child, but he really didn’t watch it on TV, so he didn’t mind watching it again.

He went to look for food under the TV cabinet and found a pack of rainbow lollipops.

There was a sound of running water in the toilet, and Dong Ping was taking a shower.

When Dong Ping came out after washing, one of them was watching TV, and the other was sitting on the stool next to him and wiping his hair.Because I come every weekend, I am too familiar.Zhou Cheng didn't feel awkward in this kind of getting along.Dong Ping began to chatter again, and the topic went back and forth.

They are all inseparable from the relationship between husband and wife. Occasionally, he also talks about his two sons. The eldest son was born to his ex-wife. He is two years older than Zhou Cheng.The youngest son doesn't fight, but he is as timid as a mouse, hiding from anyone he sees...

After all, watching other people's TV, Zhou Cheng couldn't make any response, and the two chatted as usual.After one episode was aired on TV, commercials were sold.Zhou Cheng ate too much sugar and had a toothache. He covered his face and went outside to pour water.

The door of the security room was open, and Zhou Cheng shivered when the cold wind blew in from outside.Dong Ping, who came out from behind, looked at the door suspiciously. He walked over to close the door a few steps, and then found a bottle of painkillers under the coffee table.

Zhou Cheng didn't take painkillers, and felt much better after drinking two sips of water.It was still early, so he went back to his room to watch TV.At the beginning of the month, the parents had just sent over their living expenses. For these students who live in the house, the first thing they do when they have money is to go to the Internet cafe to play games.Zhou Cheng doesn't like to play games, he would rather watch TV.

He looked at the time, Yao Feng and the others would not return to the dormitory until eleven o'clock when they were playing games outside. When he went back to the dormitory at this time, they must have not returned yet.

How did it happen? The second episode was halfway through, and Dong Ping chatted that he and his wife hadn't had that for a year?Zhou Cheng wondered in the gaps in the TV plot, which one?

Before he finished his doubts, a person sat next to him, with his hands resting on his shoulders.Zhou Cheng shook his shoulder: "What are you doing?"

"Little Orange, you..."

The hand on the shoulder was so strong that it dragged him onto the bed.

Zhou Cheng, who finally felt that something was wrong, was struggling at first, but he had thin arms and legs, and he was firmly suppressed without struggling twice.

Zhou Cheng was already in a state of fright, and the sound of the TV was loud.He panicked and wanted to call for someone, but at that moment, he couldn't yell out. Compared with the current situation, he was even more afraid that some classmates would come in after hearing him call for help, and saw him being killed by a man...

Then the whole school will know!Zhou Cheng didn't even dare to think about that situation.

He remembered a couple last month who hugged each other at the corner of the teaching building after the lights were turned off at 11 o'clock, and were caught by the night watch teacher.The two were notified and criticized the next day.From that day on, the female classmate said that she was sick and never came to school again.

"Uncle... It's been a long time, I can't bear it anymore."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...don't cry, uncle is guilty, damn it, don't be afraid. I just like you. I'm sorry."

He apologized and begged for mercy while weeping.While tearing his clothes.

Suddenly there were several bangs outside, accompanied by the laughter of several male students.

"Zhou Cheng? Are you in there?"

"Huh? Are you not here? Impossible, there is no one in the dormitory"

It was Yao Feng's voice.Zhou Cheng's eyes widened in an instant, and he wanted to shout, but his mouth was covered with sweaty hands.

Looking from the window, the light was on in the living room, and there were several calls from outside, but no one responded.Several people said a few words in doubt, and called Uncle Dong a few times, we want to come in and watch TV or something.

There was no movement, just about to leave, when suddenly there was the sound of a glass smashing inside.

Yao Feng and the others looked at each other, and a boy said with a wicked smile: "Uncle Dong must be his wife. Let's not bother him."

The male students walked away jokingly with expressions of 'it must be like that'.

There was no sound outside, and Dong Ping in the room wiped the sweat from his forehead.

At this time, Zhou Cheng squatted in a corner of the room, holding a piece of broken glass in his hand.

He dared not shout.He only begged for mercy in a low voice: "You let me go. Everyone will know."

Dong Ping raised his eyelids suddenly, he caught a message from Zhou Cheng's words.It's not that he doesn't want to, he's just afraid that others will know.

Almost ecstatic, he said cautiously: "Xiaocheng, you... we can wait until later, no one will know."

Seeing his loose appearance, Zhou Cheng thought for a while, "Okay... later, you come to me. I... wait for them to sleep."

"real!"

Zhou Cheng nodded.

"I do not believe."

Zhou Cheng gathered his coat.He stood up and walked out while saying viciously: "Do you believe it or not! I don't want to now."

Dong Ping hesitated to drag him.After a while, Zhou Cheng had already reached the gate of the security room.

The sound of someone walking outside.Dong Ping was a little timid, he looked at Zhou Cheng eagerly: "Later, you wait for me."

Without saying a word, Zhou Cheng opened the door and walked out quickly.

Their dormitory is in the back building, turning a corner, he almost ran back to the dormitory.

The trees in the yard were cut down bare.The cold wind rolled the leaves and flew all over the sky.

When Zhou Cheng walked into the dormitory, several roommates were already lying in bed chatting nonsense.Yao Feng, who was sitting on the upper bunk wrapped in a quilt, poked his head out.

"Hey, Zhou Cheng, you're back. Where did you go?"

Zhou Cheng walked to his bed and sat down like a wandering soul, without answering.

The door of the dormitory must be locked, so I can't get out.This thought made his whole body tremble, he stood up abruptly and walked out, leaving behind a sentence: "I'm going to live at my relative's house tonight, let's go first."

After leaving the dormitory door, he turned around and walked upstairs quietly.There were few students who stayed overnight on weekends, and none of them were there.But every dormitory is tightly locked. The reason why Zhou Cheng came up was because he remembered that the door of his classmate's dormitory was quite wide. The classmate didn't bring the key last time, and he could squeeze himself in by turning his body sideways. .

But that classmate is thin, and he is a little fatter than that classmate.When he squeezed in, his chest was in pain from the pressure of the door. He ruthlessly grabbed the foot of an iron frame and dragged himself in.There was a stabbing pain in his chest, it should be a skin scratch.Zhou Cheng didn't care, the dormitory was dark, and he climbed onto a bed with a thick quilt lightly.Wrap yourself up.

The whole boys' dormitory was very quiet, only Yao Feng and his dormitory downstairs had voices.

At eleven o'clock, the lights in the dormitory were all turned off.

Routine security checks.

Zhou Cheng curled up, listening to the voices outside.

"Lock the door when you sleep, and no candles are allowed at night."

"We know, Uncle Dong."

"Well,... By the way, Xiao Yao, Zhou Cheng hasn't come back yet?"

"He said he went back to live with his relatives."

"Oh? I don't think I saw him go out."

"do not know."

……

Zhou Cheng didn't dare to sleep, the quilt was very stuffy.He didn't even have the courage to lift the quilt.After finally staying up until midnight, Zhou Cheng carefully lifted the quilt a little and took a breath.

A light was on in the corridor, and some light came in through the windows.Zhou Cheng stared at the lights outside the window in a daze.Suddenly, he shivered suddenly, and recognized a person standing outside the window, looking straight in his direction, for an unknown how long.

A silent scream rushed out of Zhou Cheng's throat, and suddenly the whole world shook.

Zhang Lin woke up.There is a warm touch on the forehead, one by one.

"Zhou Cheng, wake up...it's just a dream, don't be afraid, I'm here."
