The Metamorphosis of Fanggoudan

The surroundings seemed to be getting darker, the dark clouds covered the stars, and the mountains and forests seemed to be covered with a layer of horror. Some rustling sounds kept ringing out. This strong wind not only surprised people, but also woke up other residents. guest.

Duanfang felt his heart beating fast, he heard his own breathing, and also heard Cheng Yi's breathing.

Duan Fang shivered, and he said with a trembling voice, "Cheng, Brother Cheng..."

The trembling in his voice was too obvious, but Cheng Yi did not comfort him, but gave him a malicious look.

"Are you scared? Decided to expose me?" He smiled, but the words he said were not funny at all.

Duanfang shrunk his neck, shook his head carefully, with fear and retreat on his face.

"Brother Cheng, you, don't..."

He was interrupted by Cheng Yi before he finished speaking, "No? Who do you think you are, do you think you can stop what I have decided?"

Duan Fang glared at him, in order to avoid being interrupted again, he pre-emptively squatted down and hugged Cheng Yi's calf with one hand.

"Brother Cheng, stop talking nonsense, there is a snake behind you." After holding back twice, he finally said it in one breath.

Cheng Yi froze.

Duanfang waited for a while without hearing his voice, so he raised his head involuntarily and looked up along his calf, only to see that Cheng Yi's chin seemed to have tilted down a little, not as cold and arrogant as before.

"Brother Cheng, don't be angry. Let's talk about those things when we go back. There are snakes watching over us now."

Cheng Yi wanted to say that he was not angry, but he felt that he was really angry, and he was still angry by the little man holding his calf.

"Get up and let go of your legs first."

"Brother Cheng, don't be angry." Duanfang repeated, "If you are not angry, I will let you go."

He is so rascal, not only his voice is soft, but also his eyes know how to pretend to be pitiful, he blinks and blinks at Cheng Yi, as if he wants to embarrass him.

Cheng Yi turned his head away, didn't want to look at him, and didn't want to accept the threat, which made him feel as if he was making trouble for no reason.

Seeing him like this, Duanfang finally let go of his hand. He stood up like a little adult, looked at Cheng Yi and sighed helplessly.

"Brother Cheng, Mencius said, 'If a man does not do something, then he can do something.' You are so smart, you must know the meaning of this sentence."

"When there are snakes now, you shouldn't be angry with me. If you want to live a happy life in the future, you can't do things that violate laws and regulations."

He held his head up, his chest straight, and he spoke great truths, with only a red scarf on his chest.

If Cheng Yi hadn't read the original text of Mencius's sentence, he would have almost believed it. After all this nonsense, he would have forgotten about the snake.

"Where is the snake?" He asked, pushing Duanfang back, "You have learned some messy things in school, don't you know how to avoid the snake when you see it?"

This scolding didn't scare Duanfang at all, he raised his head from behind Cheng Yi, pointed to the tree on the upper left, and saw a black shadow dangling on a branch over there, which was very scary.

When Cheng Yi saw it, he suddenly remembered the last time he came.It was also he and Duan Fang who met the snake that time, and the little man's right hand, which is now in plaster, was broken because of saving him.

Thinking of this paragraph, he suddenly felt a little regretful.

Just now, he was too aggressive towards Duan Fang, he shouldn't be like that.

Duan Fang is only 14 years old, he is still a child, even if he heard him calling, he shouldn't take his anger out on him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help reaching out and touching Duanfang's head again, his movements were much gentler than before.

Duan Fang looked at him in surprise, "Brother Cheng?"

"It's okay." After waking up, Cheng Yi himself felt embarrassed. He turned his head and pointed to the snake hanging from the tree, "You go back first, and I'll check the situation." That black shadow is still very threatening, it will be bad if it runs into the house at night.

But when he got a little closer, he realized that something was wrong with the snake.

What kind of snake is that? Although the black shadow can't be seen clearly from a distance, the thin shadow looks like a snake, but when Cheng Yi got close and took a closer look, it was clearly just a rope.

I don't know where it was blown by the wind, but it happened to hang on that branch, and because of poor vision at night, the shadow of the tree moved, and the shadows were so vague that people recognized it as a snake shadow.

"So it's just a rope." Duan Fang, who had an oolong trouble, sighed with emotion.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he grabbed Cheng Yi's hand and walked back.

"It's too cold. It won't rain tomorrow. Brother Cheng, let's go back quickly. The teacher said that we have a Chinese test tomorrow."

Cheng Yi didn't want to be held by him, he wanted to shake it off, the little man's hand was cold, and he didn't know how long it had been blown by the wind.

However, after thinking about it, he clenched his hand a little bit.

"Go back and drink ginger tea, who told you to run out in such light clothes." He was fierce, and turned his body sideways to block the cold wind behind him.

It was windy all night last night, and it really started to rain the next day.

Duanfang and the others got up early, and it was only light rain when they went down the mountain, only their shoes were a little wet, but it delayed their arrival at school.

However, it was obviously a little later than usual, but the classroom that should have started early self-study was quiet.

When they walked in from the classroom door, they found that other students in the classroom were sitting in their seats.

"What's the matter? No morning self-study today?" Wang Ming asked with a smile.

He is a self-acquaintance, and has long established relationships with these children in the class, including Duan Fang, among the four of them, he is definitely the most popular in the class.

If he used to tease him like this, there would definitely be other students who would take up the conversation and tell him the reason, but today these little radish heads seemed to have made an agreement, and none of them told him the reason.

"Wang Beibei, what's going on, where is the teacher?" He sat down and asked the students next to him.

But Wang Beibei took a look, then turned his head quickly, ignoring him without looking sideways.

"Strange, what's going on?"

Gan Bo looked at the classroom, then turned his attention to the two PDs at the back of the classroom, and said to Wang Ming, "Could they be trying to make trouble?"

After doing the math, it seems that the program team really hasn't done anything for a long time. Could it be that they finally couldn't bear it today?

There is no sound of reading in the big classroom, and it is not even so quiet during the exam.And those junior high school students couldn't help but look back at their corner quietly. Such an obvious abnormality made Wang Ming and the others ignore it even if they wanted to.

Just when he couldn't help his curiosity, another person came in the classroom, the head teacher Yuan Fangfang came in.

She walked up to the podium carrying a packed box with a smile on her face.

"Today, we have a classmate's birthday in our class." She paused, "This classmate has been doing well recently. He is friendly to classmates and has made great progress. He celebrates his birthday today. All of us in the class took advantage of the early self-study time to learn together. Can you celebrate him?"

While she was talking, some students couldn't stop looking back, and their eyes fell on the row of Wang Ming and Gan Bo. Wang Ming was surprised at first, and then laughed.

"It turns out that today is my birthday. I thought it was tomorrow." He almost remembered the date wrongly, but he didn't expect the whole class to give him such a big surprise.

Gan Bo patted him on the shoulder, "Be happy, didn't you say you want to have a lively birthday?"

"But..." But he didn't expect it to be so lively.

Wang Ming slowly walked onto the stage. These classmates and teachers who had only been together for less than a month were all saying "Happy Birthday" to him.

There was a boxy cardboard box on some rudimentary podium. Teacher Yuan stood aside and asked Wang Ming to go to the middle, "Open it and see if you like it."

Wang Ming was a little moved. Before he opened it, he wanted to say that he liked it very much.No matter what is in the box, he likes the kindness of these people.Compared with the previous birthday spent outside alone, this birthday is much more lively.

He opened the carton, and there was a simple cake in the middle, with his name written on it in red jam, and a row of small characters, "Happy birthday to Wang Ming, happy every day."

He had never eaten such an ordinary birthday cake, only one layer, full of buttercream decoration, and the small words written in the row of jam were a little flowery.

But he said, "This is the best cake I've ever seen."

There were not only cakes in the paper box, but also many small cards in the small box on the other side. Wang Ming opened a few of them, and each card had words written in different handwriting.

"Brother Wang Ming, you are the most humorous person I have ever met. I wish you a happy birthday. I hope you can realize your dreams when you grow up."

"Brother Wang Ming, I wish you a happy birthday. I hope that when I grow up, I can understand as much as you do."

"Brother Wang Ming, happy birthday. They said that when you grow up, you can do more meaningful things. I hope you can do what you like."

……

Wang Ming flipped through the cards. The words on them were long and short, but they were all words of blessing, which made his eyes a little red.

"Actually, I didn't..." He was not as good as these children thought, he was just a bad student who didn't like learning and wasted time.

But Teacher Yuan patted him on the back and smiled, "You are already very good, the teacher can see your changes, go and share the happiness with your classmates."

After finishing speaking, she handed a card in her hand to Wang Ming, and winked at him, "Look for yourself, don't let anyone take pictures."

Wang Ming glanced at her, put his hand under the podium, and quietly opened the card.

I saw two sentences written on it with a beautiful pen - "Wang Ming, happy birthday. You are an adult, and there is still a long, long way to go in life. I hope you will always be strong."

"But the teacher wants you to understand that there is more than one way to live in life. Don't drag your life forward. People don't live for others to see. The teacher hopes that you will be smooth sailing, happy and safe in the future."
