Chapter 56 chapter Ten

Half a semester of high school. Zhang Mingsong is almost fifty years old, and despite his thinning hair, he still looks young. Some people say that he is a playboy, and has had many women outside, but he has always been irresponsible and unwilling to be locked up in marriage. Every morning, Teacher Zhang came to the school, cleaned the office spotlessly, and jogged on the playground to keep in shape.He has been in this school for more than twenty years, and he knows the ups and downs of every inch of land under his feet, where weeds grow, where there are traps that are easy to fall, and where he can see the windows of the girls' dormitory.

The boy named Si Wang often appeared on the playground. He was originally like a thin soybean sprout, 1.78 meters tall and weighed just over 100 catties, but he got up early every day to exercise crazily.He first ran around the playground twice quickly, then did forty push-ups, twenty pull-ups, and sometimes practiced boxing, martial arts Sanda and even muay thai, and then went to the cafeteria to beg for two raw eggs, which scared the students around him. Don't dare to approach.The boys said he was mentally ill, and the girls laughed that he wanted to be a macho.This child seems to have a natural enemy, if he doesn't train himself to be a master of kung fu, he might be killed one day.

At the end of February, after the last class in the afternoon, Zhang Mingsong stopped him and said, "Student Si Wang, come to my office." If it were another classmate, they might be overjoyed—many people tried their best to please him, just to get the opportunity to ask him to make up lessons. You must know that the most important thing to improve the score in the college entrance examination is mathematics. His office is on the top floor of the teaching building. The school is used exclusively by special teachers. It is spacious but very dark. For some reason, the windows are opened very small and thick curtains are drawn.Zhang Mingsong said seriously: "Sit down, don't be nervous! Do you know why I called you here?"

"have no idea." Si Wang sat on a chair in the corner, with banners presented by previous students hanging on his back, as well as various honorary trophies for teachers from the city and even the whole country. "As a math teacher, I usually don't care about these things, but this time, since I am the head teacher, I must be responsible to every student." "What mistake did I make?" There is a SLR camera on Zhang Mingsong's table, and there are all kinds of photos under the glass plate. He turned out to be a photographer.He put the camera in the camera bag, stared at Si Wang's face and said, "I'm worried about you. You are taciturn, extremely out of gregarious, and behave weirdly. Some boys say that you scare them."

"I don't know what other people think, but I have always been like this, and it will not affect my academic performance." "Every morning you run alone on the playground, I noticed a few girls watching you quietly. I talked to them in private, but someone said you don't like girls?" "Oh, I'm just shy around girls." "That's not a reason." Zhang Mingsong showed a hesitant smile, "You still have a lot of things to hide from the teacher." "No." He put on an innocent expression, but the teacher pressed on step by step: "You are the most special student in my class, you can be said to be an outlier in the whole school."

"I think it's probably because I like reading so much that I've become a nerd." "A nerd who practices muay thai moves every day?" "The place where I live is very Chaos, there are often local hooligans fighting and fighting, exercising is to protect myself and my mother. " "Siwang, I checked your information. Your house is about to be demolished, which is understandable." Zhang Mingsong took a sip of tea, and said almost next to him, "Your father disappeared when you were in elementary school. The household registration has been cancelled, and you and your mother grew up dependent on each other. Although, your mother said at the parent meeting that your father works in other places all the year round."

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, this is my family's privacy. Please don't tell anyone, including other teachers." "Don't worry, I will protect every student." He noticed that Si Wang's eyes were not on his face, but on the huge bookshelf behind him, "What are you looking at?" This bookshelf doesn't look like a math teacher's at all. It's all about history, religion, semiotics, and criminal investigation.Between "Gnosticism", "Jung's Autobiography", "Holy Grail Studies", "Medieval Witches", "Soul Calling in Ancient China", "Tibetan Mantra Collection", "Psychiatric Research" and "Introduction to Forensic Medicine", there is also a book "Happy The Prince's Tales, Wilde's work, is rather unusual among those murderous readings, and there is "The Picture of Dorian Gray" next to it.

"Sorry, just curious—" "These are indeed my favorite books! If you like them, I can lend them to you." "No, can I go?" After sending Si Wang away, Zhang Mingsong leaned on the chair alone, contemplating for a long time, until it was completely dark before he went to the other side of the teaching building. Opened the school archives, only he and a few teachers had the key.Rows of dusty tin cabinets were marked with categories and years, and he quickly found the information of the graduating class of 1988—it was stated that they were high school graduates of this class.

That year, Zhang Mingsong was his math teacher. The thick file bag was untouched, and it contained everyone's student status card, including the student handbook with a blue cover, test scores of various subjects, and the teacher's graduation comments.Back then, there were only three classes with less than one hundred students.Shenming is also in class (2), enrolled in 1985, and there is another name in this class——Lu Zhongyue. Opening Shen's student status card, the black and white student ID photo is a bit blurry, his eyes are gloomy under the light of the flashlight, his lips are biting tightly, and he wants to say something. Even today, he can instantly kill Korean boy idols.

According to the student status data, Shen's grades are excellent, Chinese scores are between 85 and 90, not to mention English, politics, history, geography, physics and chemistry are not bad, only math is slightly weaker, but it is still around 80.The teacher in charge commented that he was highly praised, saying that he is a good student with excellent character and learning.Shen Ming is also a cadre of the Communist Youth League, representing the school to participate in the Youth League committee meeting of the whole district, and has won various honors and commendations. In June 1988, less than a month before the college entrance examination, a huge fire broke out in an illegal building in a shantytown opposite Nanming High School.Zhang Mingsong happened to be on duty at the school that day, and he was stunned by the soaring flames at the school gate.A boy rushed into the fire and didn't come out for a long time.When everyone thought he was burned to death, a figure covered in flames descended into the night like a god.Everyone rushed to put out the fire for him and found that he was still holding a little girl.

The boy who saved the life was Shenming, and the little girl he rescued was the child of a homeless man in the shantytown opposite. The fire killed sixteen people, including her parents. Every time after a disaster, no matter how many people died, there would be an advanced commendation meeting, and Shen Ming became an outstanding young man who had acted bravely for righteousness. That happened more than twenty years ago, and Shen Ming has been dead for seventeen years. Is he really dead?
