I didn't tell Xiaoxie explicitly, and he didn't keep me, but I just lived there. The next day, I started to observe the work.What to watch first, I don't have a definite plan; going out and seeing whatever you meet seems to be the best way. On the other side of the street, I didn't see many children. It turned out that the children were all on this side of the street.I like it in my heart, cat people finally have such a benefit: they have not forgotten to educate their children, since there are cultural institutions on this street, the children naturally come to school. Catkids are the happiest little people in the world.Dirty, very dirty, indescribably so dirty; thin, smelly, ugly, short-nosed, short-eyed, with sores all over their heads, but they are all very happy.I saw a face swollen like a pot-bellied jar, mouth swollen to the point of opening, and many bloodstains on his cheeks. He was still smiling, and he jumped and ran with the other children.All the love in my heart flew into the sky.I cannot associate such a child with a good home school.happy?It is precisely because families, schools, society and the country are full of fools that they raise such foolish children, such dirty, thin, smelly, ugly, short-nosed, short-sighted, but happy children.These children are the index of the society and the state, the punishers of the adults.When they grow up, they will not make the country not dirty, not thin, not smelly, not ugly; I saw the giant finger of destruction pressing on the hope of this group of cats, hopeless!Polygamy, free association, whatever, no one would think about his race.A life of love, a life of love under the giant fingers of destruction, ghost who knows no death!

I don't want to make a hasty conclusion, let's read it first and then speak.I followed a group of children.Came to a school: a gate, surrounded by four walls in an open space.The children all went in.I watched from outside the door.Some children rolled into a ball on the ground, some climbed up the wall, some drew pictures on the wall, and some carefully checked each other's secrets in the corner. They were all very happy.no mr.I waited for an unknown amount of time, and three adults came.They were all as thin as skeleton specimens, as if they hadn't eaten a full meal since they were born. They leaned on the wall and slowly rubbed against each other. Every time there was a gust of wind, they stood still and trembled for a long time.They slowly entered the school gate.The children rolled, crawled, made noises, and read secrets as usual.The three sat on the ground, panting with their mouths open.The children made more noise, all three of them closed their eyes and plugged their ears, as if they were afraid of offending the students.After an unknown amount of time, the three of them stood up together and advised the children to sit down.The students seemed determined never to sit still.It must have been at least one hour, and I still haven't sat down.Fortunately, the three gentlemen—they must be gentlemen—saw me at a glance, "There are foreigners outside the door!" With just one sentence, all the children sat facing the wall, and none of them dared to turn their heads.

The one in the middle of the three gentlemen was probably the principal, and he said: "The first item is to sing the national anthem." No one sang, everyone was stunned for a while, and the principal said: "The second item is to salute the emperor." There was no salute, and everyone was stunned for a while. "Pray silently to the Great God." At this time, the students seemed to have forgotten about the foreigners, and they began to squeeze me and I squeezed you, yelling at each other. "There are foreigners!" Everyone was quiet again. "Principal's lecture." The principal took a step forward and said to everyone's heads: "Today is the day you graduate from university, what an honor it is!"

I almost fainted, just because of this group of... college graduates?But, let me not be emotional, just listen carefully. The headmaster went on to say: "It's an honor for you to graduate from this highest institution! It's an honor for you to graduate here. You understand everything and have all the knowledge. From now on, the major affairs of the country will be placed on your shoulders. Something!" The headmaster yawned long and melodiously. "It's over!" The two teachers applauded desperately, and the students broke out again. "Foreigner!" There was silence. "Teacher lectures."

The two gentlemen humbled for a long time, and finally a gentleman with a face as thin as a dried pumpkin took a step forward.I could tell that this gentleman was a pessimist, because there were two big teardrops hanging from the corners of his eyes.He said very sadly: "Everyone, what an honor it is to graduate from this highest institution today!" His tears fell one by one. "The schools in our country are all the highest institutions of learning, what an honor!" Another teardrop fell. "Gentlemen, please don't forget the benefits of principals and teachers. It's an honor for us to be your teachers, but yesterday my wife starved to death, what a..." His tears fell like raindrops.After struggling for a long time, he finally spoke again: "Everyone, don't forget the benefits of teachers, those who have money will help with money, and those who have lost leaves will help with lost leaves! As you all probably know, we have not had a teacher for twenty-five years. Has the salary been paid? Everyone..." He couldn't say any more, and sat on the ground with a crooked body.

"Certificate." The headmaster moved some thin flakes of stone from the base of the wall. There were probably some words engraved on the flakes, but I couldn't quite see them.The principal put the stone flakes in front of his feet and said: "Everyone is the first in this graduation, what an honor! Now the certificates are here, you can come and get them at will, because everyone is the first, so naturally there is no need to put them in order .The meeting is adjourned." The principal and the gentleman helped the pessimist who was sitting on the ground and walked out slowly.The students didn't go to get the certificates, and everyone climbed on the wall again, rolling on the ground, making a mess.

What trick?I'm going to be confused to death!Go back and ask Xiaoxie. Both Xiaoxie and Mi went out.I had no choice but to watch it again and ask him after reading it. There is another school obliquely next to the school I saw just now, and the students are all about fifteen or sixteen years old.There are seven or eight people pressing a person on the ground, and using some tools to cut it open.There are some students beside them who are tying up two people.It's probably practical anatomy, I think.But it would be too cruel to tie up a living person and dissect it, right?I hardened my heart and watched, in the end I had to see the truth.After a while, everyone tied up the two people and threw them under the wall. They didn't say a word, probably died of fright.Those who dissected were slaughtering and shouting: "See if he still cares about us, you bastard!" Throw an arm! "Ask us to study? You are not allowed to provoke female students? The society is so dark, and you still ask me to study?! You are not allowed to do that in school? Dig your heart, you dead bastard!" A bright red piece flew into the air!

"Have those two dead things tied up? Bring one over!" "Principal, or history teacher?" "headmaster!" My heart is about to jump out of my mouth!It turns out that this is the anatomy principal and teacher! Maybe the principal and teachers should have been killed long ago, but I can't watch the students slaughter the living.I don't care who's right, I don't think it's humane for me to watch students—or anyone—do anything.I pulled out the pistol.In fact, I shouted, and they all ran away, but I was really angry. I thought this group of things could only be treated with pistols. In fact, they were not worth a shot.Mouth bang!I fired a shot.Crash, the walls on all sides fell down.The wall after the heavy rain cannot stand the vibration, and I made another mistake.Wanting to save the principal, he smashed the principal and students to the bottom of the wall!I'm out of ideas.Even killing the principal's students is a life, I can't just walk away.But how to save such people?Fortunately, the walls are just piles of dirt; I don’t know why I’ve been so despicable lately. I seem to think in my busy schedule that the headmaster probably deserves to be killed. Looking at the buildings on this school site, he earned all the money for himself, and only Make a wall with some soil.Those who run schools and embezzle public funds should be killed.Even though I guessed this way, my hands and feet were not idle, I pulled and pulled, and I quickly pulled out many people.Every time a soil ghost is pulled out, it will run like crazy without even looking at me, like a pigeon being released from a cage.No one was seriously injured. Not only did I feel at ease, but I also found this trick very interesting.Finally, the principal and teachers were also taken out. Their hands and feet were all tied up, so they didn't run away.I put them aside and started to kick them around to see if there were any people in the soil, probably there were none; but I kicked them again.I really felt that there was no one there, so I came back and untied the two earth ghosts who were tied up.

After staying for a long time, the two gentlemen opened their eyes.I don't have some emergency medicines and alcohol to soothe the nerves, so I can only look at the two of them. Although I am eager to ask them a lot of things, I can't bear to ask them right away.The two gentlemen sat up slowly, their eyes still showing panic.I smiled at them and asked in a low voice, "Which one is the principal?" The two of them looked terrified on their faces and pointed at each other.Deranged, I thought. The two gentlemen got up secretly, slowly and gently.I didn't move.I thought they were going to move around.They stood up and nodded to each other, as if two male and female dragonflies were flying past so quickly, in the blink of an eye, the two gentlemen had already run a long way.It's useless to chase, and I have no hope of winning a walking race with cat people.I sighed and sat down on the mound.

What's the matter?Oh, suspicious!Tiny!cunning!Who is the principal?They pointed at each other.Just after surviving, I wanted to sacrifice others to protect myself. They thought I was going to harm the principal, so they pointed at each other.Stealthily, slowly stood up, and flew away like a dragonfly!Ha ha!I laughed wildly!I am not laughing at the two of them, I am laughing at their society: suspicion, pettiness, self-interest, and cruelty are everywhere.Not a bit of honesty, abundance, loyalty, generosity!The students dissected the principal, but the principal dared not admit that he was the principal... Dark, dark, 100% dark!Don't they see that I saved them?Oh, there is no such thing as saving people in a dark society.I thought of the minister's wife and those eight goblins, they probably still stink there!

The principal, the teacher, the teacher, the wife of the minister, the eight goblins... what is life?I couldn't help but shed tears. what is the problem?I can't figure it out, so I have to ask Xiaoxie.
