Chapter 10 Happiness will eventually fill the gap 01
Lin Mobai had a dream.
In the pitch - black darkness, fear had devoured all of Lin Mobai's sanity. Just as she was at a loss, she suddenly saw a flickering light in the distance.
In an instant, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, she stumbled and ran towards the flickering light.
As she ran hard, the white spot gradually expanded, and the blinding paleness instantly repelled the darkness, but also closed her eyes.
After a while, a soft and shallow voice entered the ear canal——"Mo Bai, are you okay?"
The classroom was a little chaotic and noisy after school, but Ding Zhiyou's gentle voice penetrated all the rustling noises and reached Lin Mobai's world.
"Something happened..." Lin Mobai sighed, raised his chin from the desk, and looked at Ding Zhiyou with a sad face, "With 49 points, I definitely won't be able to get into No. 1 Middle School."
"Don't say such discouraging things!" Ding Zhiyou rolled his eyes at her and casually grabbed the physics test paper she had stuffed under her physics book. "If you didn't do well on the test, study harder. You will definitely do well next time. There are still three months before the high school entrance exam. There will be no problem. Okay, don't look so bitter. It just so happens that I know all the questions you got wrong. You are lucky. Let me, the future people's teacher, help you with your studies."
"Um?"
"Hey! What's with that expression? Are you doubting me?"
"Uh, how dare I!" Seeing Ding Zhiyou raising his chin with a look of contempt, Lin Mobai swallowed his saliva and said awkwardly, "Everyone knows that you always get full marks in physics, but, if I ask you, the 'future people's teacher', to help me with tutoring, will it be..."
"No, I'm so smart, I will definitely not delay." Ding Zhiyou smiled and said confidently.
"Puchi!" Lin Mobai chuckled when he heard that.
The next second, Ding Zhiyou had pulled out the chair in front of her desk, sat down facing her, pointed at the test paper , and said, "Okay, check the questions you got wrong and do them again."
Lin Mobai was stunned for a moment, blinking and looking at her: "Let's start tutoring now?"
All the students had left, and only two or three students on duty were left in the classroom.
"What else?" Hearing Lin Mobai's concerns, Ding Zhiyou, who didn't care about the weather at all, rolled his eyes at her again with disdain, "Don't forget, every time the physics teacher explains the test questions, he will deliberately pick the students who got the questions wrong to answer. Do you think you can escape this?"
"No." After saying that, Lin Mobai looked at the test paper obediently, thinking about the first question marked with a red cross, while scribbling and calculating on the draft paper.
But after a moment, she pouted and looked up at Ding Zhiyou with a helpless expression.
Ding Zhiyou couldn't help shaking her head, then turned her pen and began to explain in detail.
It was the beginning of March, spring had quietly arrived, and the temperature had risen a lot. However, at five o'clock, the sky quickly darkened, and in the huge classroom, the light voices between the two of them were scattered in the air from time to time, and the echoes made the classroom more empty.
It was not until it was almost dark that Lin Mobai finally pulled himself out of the test paper and said to Ding Zhiyou, "Let's stop here today. If we don't go back, we will definitely miss dinner time."
"Okay." Ding Zhiyou stretched, "You can't cram in any knowledge points in this state anyway."
"Teacher Ding, I've stuffed a lot of things into my brain!" Lin Mobai laughed and joked.
"Student Lin Mobai, my requirements are not high. Just don't embarrass me tomorrow." Following her joke, Ding Zhiyou pretended to be serious.
Then, the two of them couldn't help laughing.
Jokingly, they packed up their things and slowly left the school.
It was exactly half past six and it was already dark, but the street lights on the way home were not yet on.
Even so, the two girls were not afraid at all and talked and laughed about each other's dreams.
However, while they were talking, they suddenly heard curses coming from not far away.
Following the sound, Lin Mobai and Ding Zhiyou saw a disabled scavenger being beaten and scolded by two sturdy men.
The pitiful appearance of the scavenger formed a sharp contrast with the brutality of the two men. Lin Mobai became scared, but Ding Zhiyou bravely wanted to step forward to help, but when she took a step forward, she was stopped by Lin Mobai.
Fortunately, the next moment, the violent men dispersed cursing, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Before Lin Mobai could say anything, the always kindhearted Ding Zhiyou had already stepped forward and took the initiative to help the scavengers pick up the cardboard and cans on the ground. He even took the initiative to say, "Uncle, you have so many things, are you going to sell them? Why don't we help you?"
Hearing this, Lin Mobai was about to persuade him, but the scavenger had already smiled and nodded, with a look of gratitude on his face.
Only then did Lin Mobai and Ding Zhiyou realize that the other person not only limped but was also mute.
Because of Ding Zhiyou's kindness and the pitiful appearance of the scavenger, Lin Mobai could no longer say no and had to follow the scavenger to the recycling station.
However, after walking for about half an hour under the guidance of the scavenger, the two found that the surrounding environment was becoming more and more remote.
His heart inexplicably began to feel uneasy, and Lin Mobai pulled Latin Zhiyou and signaled with his eyes that he should leave.
Ding Zhiyou, who was also feeling uneasy, understood what Lin Mobai meant and quickly nodded in agreement, while saying to the scavenger, "Uncle, it's getting late , and our parents are still waiting for us at home. We won't accompany you to the recycling station. You should be fine alone, right?"
After saying this, the two of them quickly put down their things and were about to turn around and leave when the scavenger suddenly pounced on them.
The pitiful look on his face was suddenly replaced by ferocity.
Faced with the unexpected scene, the two men ran away screaming in panic.
Lin Mobai ran for a while before he realized that Ding Zhiyou beside him had disappeared.
She wanted to turn back, but she hesitated out of fear. Then, she thought that Ding Zhiyou was so smart that he would definitely be able to escape, so she continued to run forward with all her might.
After passing through rows of cabinets, Lin Mobai saw an abandoned iron barrel. She suddenly had an idea and immediately hid in the barrel, and even covered the barrel with the bamboo basket next to it.
The whole world fell into darkness. She could feel her heart beating rapidly. Out of fear, she couldn't help but put her hand on her chest, as if to suppress the beating of her heart, afraid the pounding heartbeat would reveal her whereabouts.
Just as Lin Mobai was trying hard to suppress his heartbeat, Ding Zhiyou's panting was faintly heard in the air.
What followed was the man's vicissitudes and hoarse voice - "Where are you running to!"
Lin Mobai's heart trembled and her whole body began to shake. But even though she was extremely frightened, she still couldn't help but stand up a little, and through the gap in the bamboo basket, she looked towards the source of the sound.
So, the next moment, she looked at Ding Zhiyou.
At this moment, Ding Zhiyou was strangled by the scavenger, his eyes were wide open, full of pleading.
In the air, there was still a faint sound of her intermittent cry for help.
"Help...Mo...Bai...help...me..."
