Chapter 8 Chapter Eight Practical Issues

"Gen! Wake up, Gen!" Uncle "Lu" put his hand on He's forehead, and leaned over, as if lying on He's body.His facial muscles twitched, and the corner of his mouth looked like he was crying. "uncle……" Gen muttered.The uncle said with a bitter face: "Hey, ok, ok, do you know me? Does it hurt somewhere? Is it uncomfortable? I——I have..." "Uncle... I... I'm fine." Wan wanted to get up.This is, stretched out a hand from the side, and gently pressed his shoulder. "It's better not to get up in a hurry. Is there really no pain?"

Surprisingly, this person is President Omatsu.He is smiling. "Mr. Dasong..." Gen heard his own voice stifled in his eardrums, as if his mind was a little fuzzy.He tried blinking. I am in a strange room, the ceiling of the room is much higher than that of Gen's house.The room lights are boxy with stylish gold edging. "This is my home." President Omatsu explained, he must have noticed the puzzled expression on his face. "This is the guest room, isn't the bed a bit hard?" Uncle cried again.President Omatsu smiled and patted Uncle on the shoulder. "Uncle is so worried about you, it's really painful."

"This is..." With the accompaniment of the uncle's sobs, President Omatsu said: "Uncle saw you lying there, carried you outside, and planned to send you to the hospital. I happened to be there too, so I took Uncle and you home." "I'm really terrified," Uncle "Lu" touched his nose and said, "But the president said that you are not in bad condition, your complexion is good, your breathing is normal, and you are in a deep sleep. Let me take you home to have a look Let's talk about the situation." "Because I think you are just asleep, and you seem to be in a good mood. Did you have a good dream? You are smiling." President Omatsu added.Heng can understand: it turned out that when I went to the "fantasy world", the body that stayed in this world was in a state of sleep.

"I'm fine. I'm sorry Mr. Omatsu, we entered the building without permission..." After hearing Gen's words, Uncle "Lu" finally took on the attitude of an adult, and once again sincerely apologized to President Omatsu. "I'm so ashamed that I trespassed on someone else's building..." President Omatsu laughed, "Where is that. So, please don't mind about this issue. Mitani-san, I heard your uncle tell the situation. No matter who it is, if someone sneaks into that building to threaten the children, we will I will never let him go. I will definitely take measures in the future. Please rest assured."

The president raised his thick hand and scratched his head. "All kinds of ghosts have been said so far, and I don't pay much attention to them. I just let my guard down, thinking that turning around from time to time and looking at them will do." "The president said that he will come to inspect tonight." Uncle "Lu" huddled his large body in embarrassment, "Fortunately, the president has appeared. If I am alone, I am really panicked and helpless." President Dasong and Uncle "Lu" chatted and laughed, and seemed to have let go of Dashi.Gen is still a little incomprehensible: Uncle "Lu" is an experienced lifeguard, and he has saved people in danger of life several times, but why did he panic and be at a loss when it came to me?There is such a thing?

"Okay, Gen, if you are healthy, let's say goodbye." When the uncle said this, Gen nodded in agreement.Although the president of Omatsu said that he would send it by car, the uncle declined rightly. "It's very close, I'm really sorry to bother you anymore, I'm ashamed." "See what you said, please don't mind. Well, Mitani-kun, take care. You don't have to worry about the building." Wataru replied "yes" to President Omatsu, but he felt uncomfortable.If the president really closely monitors the building, it will be inconvenient for him to get close to the door.

——At this point, I have to see Lu Chuan as soon as possible. Just talk to him.I won't run away anymore, and you don't want to run away either.Now that we met before asking Yufei, the situation is different from before.Even when slighted, I no longer flinch. Is Ashikawa really a "tourist"?If so, how did he do it?How was it recognized by the guard who wanted to guard the door?The most important thing is, as a "passenger", what exactly is Luchuan doing between the fantasy world and the real world?There are many questions that want answers. After leaving Dasong's house and walking on the road at night, Uncle "Lu" held Gen's hand.It's very embarrassing to treat Wataru like a child like this.

"Uncle, I'm fine. So you don't have to lead me away." Uncle "Lu" looked down at Gen, with that look on his face, as if he couldn't figure out something.There seemed to be tears in his eyes. Gen remembered that he hadn't apologized to his uncle properly, which made him so worried. "Uncle, I'm sorry, I was so sleepy at that time. I didn't feel unwell. I was told by Mr. Omatsu, I just fell asleep. I fell asleep unconsciously. I slept too hard." Uncle "Lu" nodded and said, "Oh, that's right, Uncle can't hold his breath anymore."

Uncle said, he walked ahead.Gen found a strange situation.Uncle was walking in the opposite direction to Mitani's house. "Uncle, it's the wrong way, my house is in the opposite direction." When he shouted, Uncle stopped in his tracks.He lowered his head and turned his back to Gen. "Well... no, it's fine, this side is also fine." "why?" "You stay in a hotel with your uncle tonight, and call a taxi on the main road." Gen catches up with Uncle and looks up at him.Just by the light of the street lamp, it was very clear that Uncle's face was a little crooked, and he spoke with great effort.

"That call is from your father." This is the call made to Uncle's mobile phone when he was in the ghost building. "He said, you are staying with me tonight." A simple question followed, and Wat said it out: "But tomorrow is not a day off. I have to go to school." "Get up early, uncle will take you back." "However, there is no change of clothes..." Gen looked down at the shirt and pants.He remembered something that until just now had been completely out of his mind.Screwhead Wolf!The dregs of their corpses are sticky all over, haven't they been cleaned up yet?

"Uncle, do I stink? Is there any strange smell?" Uncle silently watched Gen flap his shirt and trousers up and down.He focused on himself, and checked his body to make sure that nothing was stuck on his body. At this moment, he realized that there was something wrong with his uncle's expression—— "uncle?" He saw Uncle cover his face with one hand. "What's the matter? Uncle. Are you feeling unwell this time?" Uncle "Lu" squeezed out his fingers covering his face: "Oh, it's really bad, I really don't like this kind of thing." "..." "I can't lie to you. Uncle doesn't like this kind of role." "uncle……" Uncle suddenly raised his face, grabbed Heng's hand, pulled him almost roughly, and this time walked in the direction of Sangu's house. "Let's go, Wat. You have the right to go back to your own home, and you have the right to know what's going on. I think so." "Oh? Wait, wait a minute, Uncle." "It's okay, come with me, go home!" Gen was dragged away by his uncle.Until the gate of the apartment, Uncle walked so fast that Heng almost trotted all the way to keep up. However, when the uncle reached the main entrance, he suddenly slowed down, obviously hesitating.He went to the elevator again desperately, stepped into the elevator quickly, and reached the floor of Sangu's house, this time he hesitated again.He seemed to be wrestling with an invisible monster, repelling it all the way, and advancing all the way. Gen became frightened and suddenly didn't want to go home.A bad premonition rose in his chest, and he thought that when his uncle said to live in a hotel just now, he simply accepted it, and it would be fine if he didn't mention anything about going to school or changing clothes. Uncle rang the doorbell of Sangu's house.The sharp sound of the doorbell rang in the quiet public corridor.He glanced at his watch: it was already past midnight. Footsteps in slippers approached the door. With a "click", the door opened.Hang the door chain. Mitani Akira's face appeared through the crack of the door.Gen was startled.Father's face was very pale, with a tired look on his face, which made people feel that he had suddenly aged. "Big brother—" Ming mumbled, and when he realized that Gen was also with him, he kept silent. "Great, in time. It should still be there." Uncle whispered, "I brought Gen back. Let's go in." Ming closed the door, made a clumsy "click click", took off the door chain, and let Uncle "Lu" in silently.Then, as soon as he turned around, he returned to the living room.Gen couldn't see his father's face. The living room was lit, but the kitchen and bathroom were dark.Bangzi was nowhere to be seen.The door to the parents' bedroom was closed. "Did mom go to bed first?" Gen asked, but Ming didn't answer.It wasn't until this moment that Heng realized that although his father had taken off his tie, he was still wearing a suit. "Dad, are you coming home late?" There was nothing on the table.The dishes have been washed.Ming didn't answer Wan's question.He took a cigarette out of his suit pocket and lit it. Uncle "Lu" standing silently behind Gen made a rough voice: "Where's Bangzi?" Ming replied briefly, "She's asleep." That's weird.Anyway it's weird.It looks like my mother is sick.It's like a dead person. "Wen," Ming said to Heng, "come over here and sit down." Ming said and sat down on the sofa.He stretched out his hand and took out the remaining cigarettes?Press it in the ashtray, rub it a few times to get rid of it.It doesn't look like Dad's action. "Ming!" Uncle "Lu" made a threatening voice, "Gen is back, don't you still plan to—" Ming calmly interrupted his brother: "Brother, don't talk." "But……" "Brother, you made me have to do this, right? There's no way." He walked into the sofa and sat down.His knees were shaking.Just now——I was attacked by a screwhead wolf in the fantasy world. I just experienced a shocking moment, but now it is even more frightening. Uncle "Lu" stood behind Gen, silent. "I didn't want you to know what happened tonight." Ming said, his voice trembling slightly, "I want my mother to tell you afterward. So I'll let you stay with Uncle for one night." Uncle "Lu" hurriedly said: "I feel that this is unfair, and there should be an explanation for this child—" Ming looked up at his brother's direction and smiled. "Because it's not something that can be explained to the child, I'm asking my brother." Uncle "Lu" was at a loss for words for a while. "Wen, listen to me." Ming looked at Heng's face.Wataru looked at his father's face, and there was a small voice in the corner of his heart shouting: I don't want to hear it, don't tell me anything! Sanguming spoke slowly. "Daddy is leaving the house." Leave-leave-this-home. "Divorce your mother. Do you understand what father means?" divorce. "I'm sorry for your mother and you. But Dad has made up his mind. It was a decision after much hesitation, so I'm going to do it." I-feel-sorry-sorry. "Tonight I took it out on your mum for the first time. We've been talking but mum is in shock - she's devastated." Gen opened his mouth, originally intending to speak in his usual way, but his voice was so weak that he was surprised. "Is mom asleep?" "Maybe. When I saw her just now, she fell asleep," Ming replied, "I have to talk to my mother a few more times in the future. The family matters—the future life of you and mother, etc., the details place, there are many places to decide." Gen blinked lightly, many times, but the scene in front of him remained the same.The channel has not been changed.This is not a misunderstanding, nor is it a dream, it is reality.At this moment, I am not in a fantasy world. However, the figure of the father who is about to run away from home is more unreal than the screw-headed wolf in the desert of the fantasy world. There are certainly countless things that must be asked and can be asked at this time.But Gen couldn't grasp the clues, as if the sand in the desert had leaked through his fingers, all thoughts had leaked out, like the heart lost its support. Finally, Gen asked, "Where is Dad going from now on?" "I'll let you know when I settle down. The phone is still there, and I can contact you." After saying this, Ming stood up.Gen looked at his father blankly.Is that the end of the conversation?Is that all? Ming bent down and dragged something from behind the sofa. It is a handbag for travel, usually used for business trips.Very familiar handbag. However, it was the first time I saw this handbag bulging like this, with so many things stuffed inside. "Ming—" Uncle "Lu" shouted in a hoarse voice, "Have you nothing to say? Do you have nothing to say to Gen? That's it?" Ming didn't look at his son, but looked into his elder brother's eyes and said, "For Gen, I have nothing but apologies." "That's it..." "Brother, you don't understand." Uncle "Lu" turned blue, and the corners of his mouth trembled. Ming picked up his handbag.Gen looked at it inadvertently - father's handbag, father's soles of his feet towards the entrance. "Brother, I'm counting on you." Ming said.There was no tremor in his voice. "I can't bear it." Uncle "Lu" turned his face away and said stubbornly, "Is there such a person who only cares about himself? I don't accept it." San Guming slowly looked back at Gen.Then he said in the same slow tone: "Wen, I will leave it to you, mother." Then, he took a step.The slippers made a sound.rattling.rattling. Why don't I keep Dad?Gen was thinking blankly.Why not pounce on him and hold him back?You won't cry and shout "don't go"? Because Wataru understands that doing so is futile, it has always been like this.Dad is the one who makes a decision and carries it out.At Mitani's house, things that Dad has decided are unambiguous.Dad's conclusion is the verdict, and no amount of crying can overturn the verdict.Such a rule has been formed in Gen, so he cannot be self-willed. capricious?But is it willful to do so? Gen stood up from the sofa and rushed to the entrance.Ming is wearing shoes on his back. "dad." Hearing Gen's voice, Ming's back moved slightly. "Dad, are you leaving Mommy and me?" For a moment, Ming stopped moving, and the hand holding the shoehorn seemed to turn pale. However, he immediately resumed the action of putting on his shoes, put the shoehorn on the shoe cabinet next to him, and then turned his back and said: "Even if I divorce my mother, my father is still Wan's father. No matter where I go, being a father will not change." "But leave us and go, can't you?" Gen said.Why can it only make such a pitiful sound?Can't you speak louder?How can we say more convincing words? "Are you leaving us?" Sangu Ming opened the door. "I'm sorry, Wat." After speaking, he left. Gen stood there, watching the door close.He was tongue-tied, his eye sockets were dry, and he had a dull pain in his lower abdomen, as if he was holding back his urine. Uncle "Lu" walked over silently, with his hands on Gen's shoulders from behind. "Sorry." "Lu" uncle's voice was crying. "Still—shouldn't have brought you back. Just stay in the hotel with Uncle. Uncle was wrong. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I'm still asleep—— Wataru thought so.This is what happened in a dream.I'm still at the bottom of the unrepaired staircase in the Ghost Building, sitting on the cement scum and dust, leaning on the banister and falling asleep.Uncle found me and hurriedly carried me out. At this time, President Dasong came, and now it's time to take me to Mr. Dasong's house. I'm still dreaming.When you wake up, it will return to its original state.Recite these words repeatedly in my heart like a mantra. It is a mantra to defeat monsters, a mantra to drive away monsters, and a mantra to make monsters disappear. No, no, no.The mantra didn't work because I wasn't asleep.This is reality.What's happening right now. Pain welled up from the bottom of my heart.The spell that the mage chanted to turn back time.What language is that?Just remember it.It's coming in handy now. "uncle." Gen felt Uncle "Lu"'s body temperature on his back, and he asked in a low voice: "Uncle knew before? Did you know beforehand that Dad was leaving tonight?" The uncle took a breath as if adjusting his breathing a little, and replied, "I didn't know it before I got that call." "Then, Uncle is also shocked." So, I just fell asleep, and Uncle panicked like that. "It's too much," muttered Uncle. "How can this happen? What are you going to do?" Gen silently turned around and hugged Uncle.He hugged his uncle hard and burst into tears. Even after being so chaotic, so tired, and so sad, it will still be daylight.The bright morning sun fell on Gen's face, and he woke up. Gen and uncle fell asleep in the living room.The sofa couldn't accommodate Uncle "Lu"'s huge body, and he was lying on the floor.At one end of the couch, Wataru huddled into a small ball as if avoiding something.For this reason, when he woke up and got up, his bones creaked. Outside the window is a bright blue sky.Maybe it's because the rainy season has passed.Although there was no sign of rain yesterday, the sky today is indeed special, without a trace of cloud. Look at the clock, it's almost eight o'clock.Uncle turned his back to the light and was still sound asleep.In the haze, he still remembered that it was only a few hours ago that he lay down and slept here. If he didn't forcefully wake his uncle up, he would definitely continue to sleep. There was no sound in the parents' bedroom.what is mom doingDid you not wake up, or did you pretend to sleep?Just don't want to get out of bed?In any case, Bangzi didn't know that Gen came back last night. For a while, Heng really wanted to go over to talk, but in the end he didn't go.Didn't want to talk to anyone this morning, hated even being seen by anyone.Just go to school quietly like this, or you will be late if you don't hurry. Wash your face and brush your teeth, smooth your hair, and change out your wrinkled clothes.Just as he was packing up his textbooks and notebooks and stuffing them into his schoolbag, he suddenly thought, he must go to school, he just needs to find a place to stay instead of running home. Illusory world—where to go again and forget everything? No, no, no.If it's good, it will be caught by the Karura tribe and driven back, if it's bad, it will become the ration of screw-headed wolves. For children, in the end, only school is good.If they don't have a home. The team that went to school together has left. According to regulations, students who missed the assembly time can be left behind.He walked to school alone.As soon as we reached the place where we could see the school building, the five-minute preparation bell rang.Then he ran to the main gate.In this way, it seems to be the same as yesterday, except that I overslept and didn't eat breakfast, as if nothing happened. Incredibly, it was business as usual in the classroom.The teacher seemed to be in a better mood than usual, saying something like "the rainy season is finally over, and I feel better". It's just that the Sangu family has collapsed, and the world has not changed.Why is the world like this? A little while ago, there was a prophecy book that was very popular and even appeared on TV.The language inside is said to have come from the interpretation of lithographs found in the remains of ultra-ancient civilizations.The stone prophecy reads: Humanity will perish in 2024.Among the guests of this program, one is a pyramid scholar that I like. He said that it is okay to appreciate such prophecies or stories about ancient civilizations as imagination, but it is not appropriate to accept them positively. His words made the host very upset. Awkward.He said that the question of when and where the world will perish in the future is of a completely different nature from the question of whether prophecies are trustworthy.This is a very dignified statement, so Gen was relieved, he turned off the TV, took a shower, and had a good night's sleep. Nevertheless, the individual is always perishing, even insignificantly.But the world goes on—for now. At the end of the first class, the teacher called Gen to come out. "Miya-kun, just now your mother called and asked if you really went to school. I replied: 'he is here, he is in the classroom'..." The teacher squinted his eyes puzzled.Gen said: "My mother is bedridden with a cold. I sneaked to school this morning before my mother got up." "Ah, it's all like this. That's why your mother is worried. However, you did a great job. Mitani-kun is quite sensible. Just go home after school, so mother can rest assured." He replied "Okay, I understand" and returned to his seat.Then, for the rest of the day, it sounded like a breeze blowing through the world of the dead Mitani. When I walked out of the school gate after noon, it was a sunny day that made people sweat profusely.Gen was walking with his schoolbag shaking.A loud and noisy voice caught up behind him.It almost made the ear drum "hum". "Hey, hey, what's the matter? What's the matter with you, haven't you woken up yet?" It's Ake.I was dumbfounded.I haven't seen you for a long time, it feels like I haven't seen you for ten or twenty years. "That's weird, you've been in a daze today. Did you get the trial version of "Saga 3"?" "No no, there's nothing wrong." "Oh? I thought that was the case. Hey, come to my house after lunch? Dad won a prize playing pinball, and somehow he brought back a football game. You are so angry with me, do you want to play?" Gen watched Ake's hearty face silently, wanted to say but didn't know what to say.There is only one thought, that is, "Ake is so good", just be Ake. "What's wrong? Staring at my face like that? Is something stuck?" "No." Gen shook his head, "I can't play today, I'm sorry." Ake also sensed that something was wrong, and his eyes, which usually kept rolling, stopped for a while. "Sangu... what's wrong?" "Nothing—nothing." "A cold? Or diarrhea?" "There is nothing." Ake kept looking at Gen's expression. "But something is wrong." "What's wrong?" Geng smiled.Ake stepped back a little. "Then, I'm going home." "Oh." "Oh—hey, if you need anything, give me a call." "it is good." "I've been at home." "Yeah, I got it." "Then goodbye." Ake walked away step by step.After he was out of sight, Wataru took another step.Many junior students and students in the same grade have surpassed it.Gen still walked slowly.When he came back to his senses, he found himself the same as this morning, alone. When you come to Mr. Omatsu's ghost building, stop in your tracks.The appearance of the building remains the same.It's just that the tarp is shiny, reflecting the sun.Although the president said that measures would be taken, as of today, no measures have been taken. He remembered the matter of the fantasy world again.Oddly enough, the memory is thinner than when I recalled it at home in the morning.The big red bird—what's its name?The image that comes to mind, like a faded photo, gradually becomes less vivid. ——what's the name? "- Sangu!" Someone is calling!Definitely God, who is it? It's Mizuru Ashikawa.Leaning on the pillar of the torii gate of Mitsuhashi Shrine, he stared at Wataru. Ashikawa made a "follow me" gesture and walked quickly into the Mitsuhashi Shrine.Wataru was already physically and mentally exhausted because of yesterday's incident, but the thought of "what is he doing here" flashed across the moment, and the scene before the door was clearly reproduced like a movie.Gen ran up, just like chasing Lu Chuan back then. Even if Gen chased after him, Lu Chuan didn't even look at him.The pensive Ashikawa has a more distinct straight nose line. "sit down." Ashikawa pointed to a bench in the shrine and said briefly.He did as he said.That was where Lu Chuan sat when we met here before. As soon as he sat down, the scene in front of him was quite different from the Mitsuhashi Shrine that should be very familiar.Usually, when walking in front of the torii gate or passing through the shrine, what you see is not such a scenery.Spacious and peaceful, surrounded by greenery.Even the place where the shrine's old roof tiles fell and was repaired with mortar is very interesting.When I usually look at these roof tiles, I just feel shabby. There was an illusion, as if in a distant and strange place. "Is the view nice?" Ashi Chuan stood in front of Wataru, folded his hands on his chest and said. "This is God's Domain." "Holy area?" When Gen asked such a rhetorical question, Lu Chuan replied uninterestedly: "Where is the god?" Such a serious answer and such a serious expression.Even the seldom-seen shrine master (that is, the person in charge) may not necessarily put on such a scary face here.The God Lord here is a smiling little old man who once held a yellow flag at the crosswalk at the gate to direct traffic when the lower grade students were out of school.The so-called "where the gods are" is probably a clumsy version of "the place where the gods stay", but the old master of the gods must not use such a clumsy term. Lu Chuan looked in the direction of the shrine, and remained silent as if furious.When Genzheng felt uncomfortable and was about to say something restlessly, Lu Chuan finally spoke. "Have you been there?" A nonchalant question. "Where are you going?" Gen asked.Of course, I asked on purpose.Obviously know.It's about that—the place—well, what's it called? can not remember.It's amazing, I still remember it until just now. Lu Chuan turned his face to Gen.Finally, he looked at Gen. "Go to the fantasy world, right? The other side of the door. You understand." I was tongue-tied.Fantasy world?The so-called "fantasy world" is that-that-yes, the desert.Been attacked by some terrible beast.However, that is not a dream, is it? Lu Chuan stared at Gen, took a step forward, his pupils shrunk to small, his hands seemed to be frozen from the cold. "I—the ghost building next to it," Gen said incoherently, "I went with Uncle." "Did we meet there?" Lu Chuan asked confirmingly, "Isn't it just yesterday?" "That's true..." Lu Chuan turned his face away, and snorted disdainfully: Sticky guy!Gen thought, why do I have to be ridiculed by him every time I see him?Even so, there was a faint voice in the corner of his heart: this time we can't agree, it's because of ourselves.It was the little Gen on Gen's body. This little Gen was dancing and shouting loudly, trying to get Gen's attention, but the shouting gradually became quieter. Then, eventually, it disappeared.When he disappeared, Xiao Xiaogen still tried his best to say loudly—— "While watching the sunrise and sunset, you will forget about this place." The same words blurted out from Gen's mouth.But that wasn't Wat's voice, it was a deep and pretentious declarative tone. Lu Chuan who ignored him suddenly turned his head, he was dumbfounded.Gen was embarrassed by the strange tongue, and covered his mouth with his hands like a girl. "Is...really?" Lu Chuan smiled, "Have you been caught by the Karula tribe?" Gen covered his mouth with his hands, and looked up at Lu Chuan with his eyes.The beautiful boy was so happy that he almost danced on the spot. "The magician is right, that's right, because you are not qualified, so after returning here for a day, the memory of the fantasy world has completely disappeared." Ashi Chuan happily talked to Gen.It was inexplicable, but Lu Chuan continued to talk to himself excitedly. "The memory does not disappear immediately after returning, because if it disappears immediately, there will be a blank. But if it is kept for about a day, if the child speaks out, people will say that the child is dreaming, and it is over; if it is an adult, it will be over. Just being teased, 'Take your medicine'." "That's right." Lu Chuan clapped his hands, looked up to the sky and laughed.Gen was dumbfounded: What's wrong with this kid?Really annoying. "What's going on." Gen asked, "Are you mocking me again?" Lu Chuan smiled "hehe" and crossed his arms again.He shook his head and said, "No one laughs at you." "Are not you?" "when?" "Last time. The time I said 'ghost photo'." "Oh, that time?" Lu Chuan nodded, "That's because you said something messy. I heard Miyahara say 'Mitani is not stupid', but when I said it, it was too naive, and I thought it was weird at the time." Lu Chuan added slowly and nonchalantly: Cough, the talking Miyahara is also very childish.These words made Gen furious, and he stood up from the bench suddenly. "Miyahara is not bad!" Lu Chuan was still grinning. "I didn't say he was bad." "Didn't you say he was naive!" "Facts. First of all, immaturity is not a bad thing. If so, kindergarten children would be bad." "You're -- nonsensical!" "Hey. Sangu also said that to his parents, right?" The word "mom and dad" has somehow taken on a pejorative connotation.Even if it is not derogatory, it is the least favorite word for the current Heng, and this kind of derogatory is even more taboo. "What's the matter with my parents!" Gen rushes to Luchuan.He punched out with all his strength, but he missed it and rolled to the ground. The toe of Ashikawa sneakers is right in front of you.Seen so closely and truly, it is obvious that the shoes are well worn and worn.For a moment, the question of "why does he wear such tattered shoes" flashed through his mind, but he felt that he should ignore it at this time. Gen fell so hard that he couldn't stand up right away.After finally turning his head to look up at Lu Chuan, he stopped smiling. "You're annoying, don't pester me." Lu Chuan replied to the original cold tone and said, "I don't have time to deal with a child like you who is in a blessing." A child in blessing?who? If it weren't for his words, this annoying sentence, Heng might not have said anything.Ashikawa is not friendly.He is not a good friend like Ake, nor a kind-hearted guy like Miyahara.If you spend your heart and soul with this kind of person, don't even think about dying. However, let alone unbearable.Gen raised his dusty face and blurted out: "That's what I should say, I'm not in the mood to associate with a child like you who is in the blessing!" Lu Chuan's eyes widened artificially. "Hey, what do you mean by that?" "You're annoying!" Gen put his hands on the ground and finally got up.He sat down again.The corner of the mouth is broken, and it hurts hotly. "Pretty big talk without knowing anything. You—did you know? I ran away from home last night. So I was—so I was—absolutely—not a blessed— child……" Fatigue and frustration made Geng's throat choke. Lu Chuan's tone remained unchanged. "Running away from home means divorcing your mother?" "Yeah, is there any other meaning?" "so what?" Gen was still slumped on the ground.Ashikawa stood and looked down at Wataru.Gen felt as if his head had been beaten from top to bottom by his words just now. "That--" "So what if I ask you? Isn't that just divorce?" incredible. "Mother and I—abandoned." "So? Is it possible to be taken into custody faster by crying and making noise like this? Oh, this trick may work." I was speechless. "It's just this kind of trick—you and your mother." Ashikawa said bluntly, "Nengami's social sympathy. Oh, it can get huge sympathy. Huge sympathy that can't fit in the closet. But, I don't have anything. I can't give you." Gen was just dumbfounded, his mind went blank, and he had no room to fight back. Lu Chuan glanced at Wat, then looked away, stared at the ground and said: "Don't get close to the building next to it. It's even worse than what I just said. Just focus on doing your own thing. I live near here. If you Wandering around here, I'll know right away. Understand?" After Lu Chuan left, Gen still sat on the ground for a while, unable to move.There was a heavy load on his shoulders, and he couldn't stand up under the pressure.The weight may be a colossal mass of garbage, the wreckage of the world's collapse.If the world collapses, someone must clean up the mess.You have to contact the big trucks of companies that dispose of industrial waste.But others must not do it. "Hey, hello!" Grandpa's voice was shouting.Cheng looked at it intentionally or unintentionally, and it was God.He is coming.He was dressed the same as when he visited the shrine on the New Year, white kimono with light green culottes, and his hair was also white. "What's the matter? Did you fall?" There is dust on his body. "It's bleeding. Did you come home from school? Did you fight with someone?" The Almighty bent down beside Gen and said kindly. "Are you alone? Oh, yes—Miya-kun, Mr. Sangu Gen." The divine master read out Gen's name tag. "Uncle." Gen said. "What's the matter?" "This is a shrine, right?" "That's right, it's a shrine." "Uncle is worshiping God?" "Uncle worships the gods, worships the gods." "What happens when God is worshiped by man?" The divine master took a peek at Gen's expression, as if saying that he knew the answer, but he didn't know why Gen asked, so he couldn't answer. "Why does Sangu-kun want to know this?" "I just want to know." Gen Suo said bluntly, "Because God is too stupid and too lazy." The Almighty was taken aback and remained silent.Gen stood up.His knee still hurt, but he ignored it. "People who haven't done anything bad also suffer misfortune, because the god is stupid and lazy, right? Don't you feel bored to worship such a god?" Gen grabbed his schoolbag and ran.The priest of the Mitsuhashi Shrine watched his little back with a worried look on his face.But Gen didn't look back, and didn't know all this. Back home, Bangzi was at home, and she burst into tears when she saw him.This is reality, not a dream.Will not wake up, will not disappear.Watching a mother's tears, like a final blow or a final confirmation, reality is unmistakable.Never cry anymore, he turned into a stone, a stone that looks like a child.
