Chapter 10 second quarter

On the north side of Shuanghai Children's Hospital, a two-story building similar to each ward is the teaching building of the county nursing school branch.Hospitalized children study here.The branch school has a primary school and a secondary school.There are few children in the elementary school. There are one class for the second and third grades, one class for the fourth and fifth grades, one class for the first grade and one class for the sixth grade, plus a class for mentally handicapped children, a total of five classes.In the middle school, there are one class for each of the first, second and third grades, plus a class for mentally handicapped children, a total of four classes.

The number of students who come to the classroom is very irregular, and it is completely based on the children's illness.Dropping out of a class is a common occurrence.Children suffering from heart disease and other chronic diseases are depressed in class, while those hospitalized in surgery are very cheerful. Except for the parts that cannot move due to the plaster cast, it can be said that they are full of vigor and vitality. The level of students in the branch school is very different, and it is an open secret that introverted children are bullied, especially those who are isolated in the children's psychiatric ward.

The L-shaped ward on the west side of the hospital is the child psychiatric ward building.It is said that it was the ward building for the terminal patients in the tuberculosis sanatorium era, and the ghosts of the tuberculosis patients who died at that time still appear to this day.It is now called Ward No. 8.But the children don't call it Building 8, they call it the zoo, and the children hospitalized in the zoo each have an animal's name. On this day, two sixth-grade truant boys called Giraffe and Hedgehog got into the narrow passage between the small wooden warehouse in the corner of the playground and the mesh iron fence surrounding the playground.

The giraffe is a small man with a pretty baby face.The hedgehog is tall and thin, with a gloomy expression.The giraffe took out a high-end lighter from his trouser pocket, and the hedgehog took out a pack of cigarettes.Lighters and cigarettes are things that the adults who brought their children to the hospital forgot in the hall.The two of them took one in their mouths, lit it and smoked it.After the giraffe tried to take a sip, it began to burn the ants crawling under its feet with the burning smoke.The ant struggled a few times in a hurry, and soon died. As for the hedgehog, while inhaling the smoke deeply into his lungs, he picked up the sand with the tip of his dirty shoe and buried the ants under his own feet. Tormenting the ants.

"When will we act?" the giraffe asked while burning the ant with a cigarette. "Wait until it's warmer." Hedgehog said as he brushed his long hair up. The giraffe looked up and asked, "Why?" "Maybe I have to sleep in the open in the wild. It's so cold that I'll catch a cold even if I'm not frozen to death. Is it still possible to run?" "Then when is the right time for you to say?" "We have to pass the rainy season anyway." "I have to wait so long!" The giraffe looked at the hedgehog dissatisfied.

The hedgehog leaned down and said seriously as if he was handing over the shift: "Also, the more fully prepared the better." "Radios, flashlights, raincoats, and towels are all ready, as are candles and lighters. And they have been packed on the shoulders, ready to escape at any time." "There's no map yet." "Isn't there a world map?" "If you want to go abroad, you must first escape from this ghost place!" "If I steal the county atlas from the library, it's over." "That's 22,500 to 1, no way. We need to find a more detailed map. Even the alleys, the stores we selected as targets for action, and especially the police stations have to be clearly marked. Otherwise. Immediately they will get lost and be arrested."

"Ask the teacher to see it, and say it's for research." "OK?" "Tell me about it." "I?" "I can't help you, you have a sweet mouth." "If you want to talk about charm, you have to count your giraffe." The two looked at each other and smiled.The giraffe looked at the red sportswear he was wearing: "Is the clothes a bit like that?" The hedgehog was wearing a blue long-sleeved cotton shirt and jeans.The clothes of both of them were dirty, and the threads had been opened in some places.Such a set of clothes throughout the year.

"When escaping, take the sheep and grab some other animals." The giraffe said. "It would be nice if I could get the key to the disaster prevention supplies warehouse," the hedgehog stubbornly piled up the pile of sand where the ants were buried, "it's the warehouse in the basement of the service building. Prepare blankets and canned food for use after a major earthquake." What, there are many useful things." "You can steal food from the refrigerator in the cafeteria. There will be no one at night." "One month, where can I go?"

"where do you want to go?" The giraffe stuffed the cigarette butt into the ant nest: "Tokyo, Osaka, the United States, Europe, Africa... the result may be the same wherever you go." "Yes, the end of the world is coming." "So I don't want to stay here any longer. I don't want to wait here for the end of the world." The hedgehog stomped down the high pile of sand where the ants were buried: "They are them, those who can make money, those who can be famous, those who are beautiful, and those who want to marry the ones who are beautiful. You fight over there. But, these guys are already tired and bored. No one likes this world anymore... So, in the end, we will destroy together, let them greet the end of the world with destruction!"

The giraffe laughed like an actor in a play: "But, from the day we were born, we refused to be great and famous, so we were also rejected by this world. Now, it's our turn to laugh at you guys." Worried about the coming of the end of the world, you are so anxious to cry. The thing you have been fighting for is a stinking dung, and it is not worth our sleep foaming on it!" The hedgehog smiled at the giraffe: "Giraffe, well said! Now it's our turn. For those of us who have been rejected and denied, the end of the world may be our chance." "What's the meaning?"

"In other words, we have not been assimilated by this world. When the world sinks, we may not sink." "What? What is assimilation?" "It just becomes the same thing." "You read too many crooked books. Have you always wanted to be a big shot?" The hedgehog refrained from getting angry: "When I was alone at home, I read a lot of books left by my father, so I naturally remembered them." The giraffe said mockingly: "Really? When the world sank, so did the ground, and we were the only ones floating in the air. Didn't your father's book say that?" "However, when we sink, maybe someone will come to rescue us. Of course, I don't mean humans, such as angels and mermaid princesses. Have you read these story books?" "A mermaid princess? Isn't it just those boring fairy tales?" "Maybe." The hedgehog threw away the cigarette butt and stood up, put his face on the mesh iron fence and looked out.From here you can see the pine forest, the beach and the sea.Usually, the children in the zoo are not allowed to go to the seaside without permission.Suddenly, a strange figure appeared on the beach, thin, like a helpless person, walking towards the sea.Who is that?Because the distance is too far, it is not even clear whether it is a man or a woman.The hedgehog stared at the figure and said to the giraffe behind him, "Someone is going into the sea." "A ghostly place where no one even comes to bathe in the sea. How can there be anyone. Is it your illusion?" "Really! But I'm not sure it's a human being." The giraffe stood up and wanted to look out, but because it was short, it stood on tiptoe desperately, and finally saw the sea.The man was completely naked, except for a little white on the left wrist, his whole body was light pink.What is that man going to do?It was clearly walking into the sea without hesitation.The water splashing under the feet sparkled like sparks in the sun.The sea water had reached the knees of the thin body, and the wave-wet, sun-lit pale pink nude was wrapped in dazzling silver light. The two teenagers were stunned.What appeared before their eyes was clearly a special existence.If the world is destroyed, isn't she the angel who came to save us?Isn't she the mermaid princess who came to save us?She, maybe he, has despaired of the cruel reality, has a premonition that the world is about to sink, and wants to go to the other side of the sea. "What to do? Giraffe!" cried the hedgehog. At this time, the giraffe had already grasped the netted iron fence and climbed up. The hedgehog didn't care about what to say when he saw this, and climbed up immediately.The two climbed over the iron fence and ran towards the beach.
