Chapter 8 Eight

Eight Later, I left Yunnan and went to the suburbs of Beijing to jump in the queue. At this time, I still often think of Mr. He.When he just died, a group of us children gathered several times on the coal pile behind the cafeteria to discuss Mr. He's straightness.Some people think that Mr. He jumped off after straightening up.Some people think that he is straight in mid-air.Others believe that he hit his head straight on the ground.I hold a second opinion. I thought Mr. He must have felt like a bomb dropped from a plane in mid-air.The wind was whistling in my ears, the ground was gradually approaching, my heart was beating wildly, and the "bang" that landed had already rang in my heart.Since Mr. He is going to die, he must have thought about everything.He must be able to experience the tragedy of death, and he must also be able to experience the unprecedented pleasure of dying.

When I jumped into the queue in the suburbs of Beijing, our family came back from the cadre school once.Mr. Liu, who shared a hut with Mr. He, also came back from the cadre school and lived next door to my house.I asked Mr. Liu what Mr. He's last words were, and Mr. Liu said, I was not there when Mr. He died and went to the bathroom.If so, why don't you hold him back?After Mr. He jumped down, his mind was blown out, and of course it was impossible to have any last words.Therefore, what Mr. Erhe was thinking before he died could not be verified later, so he tried to find out why he was straight.

On the night Mr. He died, at two o'clock in the middle of the night, I got out of bed again and went to the place where Mr. He died.I know that there are many wild cats in our yard, which often call spring in summer nights, and there are often some crows on the old pine trees, which often cry at dusk; so I think, at this time, some animals must be eating Mr. He's brain.When I think about these things, I can’t fall asleep. If I can’t fall asleep, I have to masturbate. Masturbation hurts my body.So I walked out.Turning a corner of the building and arriving at that place, I saw a scene that almost frightened my guts.I saw dots on the ground, and dozens of candles were lit.The candle light flickered, illuminating dozens of chalk circles, and the brains inside the chalk circles were also wobbly, as if they were about to run out.On the side of the candlelight, there was a huge figure squatting. The whole scene seemed to be that someone was practicing witchcraft to save Mr. He. Later, others said that Wang Er was brave, and it was all after his 20s and 30s.At the age of seventeen, my courage was not strong enough, so I almost turned around and ran away after being frightened by this.

The reason why I didn't run away was because I heard someone say: "Little classmate, do you want to cross the road?"come on.Be careful not to step on it.I took a closer look and saw that the candle light was shaking, which was blown by the wind; the figure on the opposite side was large, and it was illuminated by the candle light from below.The chalk circles were drawn during the day when the police took pictures.Mr. He didn't move his mind at all.So I became more courageous and walked slowly.The person on the opposite side is in his forties and is Mr. He's eldest son.He is not in the hospital, he is a bit unfamiliar, but he knows him.He put on a cotton overcoat, and put a handbag under his feet with the zipper open.The bag is full of candles.I asked him: Why didn't I see you during the day?He didn't speak, just took out his cigarette and smoked it.My hands trembled, and I couldn't light the fire.I took the match and lit him a cigarette.Then squatted down beside him and said: I played chess with Mr. He.He still doesn't speak.Later I said: I have experienced corpses.He suddenly said: "Little classmate, you don't know."Didn't test it at all.Didn't check it out at all.While talking, he suddenly choked.Then he said: "Little classmate, let's go."

I walked home slowly, there was no moon that night, but there were stars.For people like me who used to walk at night in those years, this light is enough.I was thinking, what do the people in Mr. He's family think?Anyway, Mr. He is dead and can't live anymore.But when I think of those people in Mr. He's family, I feel very sad. Mr. He's sons and daughters guarded those brains in the cold wind, but no one took care of them, and those brains gradually dried up.When it was cleaned up later, some of them had hardened.So a large part of Mr. He's brain was permanently attached to the concrete floor.Mr. Liu who told me Mr. He's last words also died.Before Mr. Liu was alive, I didn't have a good impression of him.This old man always regrets his moves on the chessboard, obviously he can't play, but he refuses to admit defeat.I don't like to speak ill of dead people, but if I don't say it, how can others know?His mouth stinks so much that no one can bear it when he is talking to people.

Regarding Mr. He's straightforwardness, I have one more thing to add.No matter when he straightened up, it only shows one thing: Mr. He still has a lot of vitality.Say nothing else.
