The world is taken over by crazy and sick people

"Let go!!!"

Chen Shizi struggled hard, using both hands to pull away Wang Liwu's hand that was holding her. She exerted all her strength and her facial features wrinkled.

"Wang Liwu, you're hurting me! Let me go!"

"Damn! It's poisonous..."

Unable to break free, she finally bit down with her upper teeth, and took a bite of Wang Liwu's taut, creepy white tiger's mouth. She gnawed back and forth horizontally with her teeth, and made vague "ah ah" sounds from her mouth. As if she was still not satisfied, she stomped on the ground with her little white shoes, trying to kick Wang Liwu's hard and cold black shoes.

Wang Liwu stood still, as if he felt no pain.

After a long while, Chen Shizi’s teeth became weak, and he angrily let go and raised his head, “Are you going to let go or not?! If you don’t, I will bite you to death!”

Wang Liwu stared blankly at the angry red lips and pearly teeth opposite her. The pain on the back of her hand was so severe that it almost bleeds and hits her nerves, but she actually feels happy and trembling with excitement to the extreme.

Correct……

To bite...

Her nose suddenly felt sore.

Opening his clenched left hand, Wang Liwu smiled gently at Chen Shizi and whispered, "I brought you the glass beads you like."

The object in her palm shone crystal clear in the sunlight, and her smiling eyes were gradually covered with mist.

At exactly 12 o'clock, on the weekend, a distant bell rang suddenly outside the rows of lush white wax trees, followed by a series of exciting sounds. Three or five gray pigeons on the treetops were suddenly startled, spread their wings and flew away, dragging their dark gray and colorful feathers and hurriedly landing, looking around anxiously... In the end, two lucky ones met and cuddled on the worn red and white tiles...

The sound of bells gradually drifted closer, accompanied by the choir's holy hymns. Chen Shizi looked up and saw a white church spire far away on the street across a row of commercial buildings.

Turning back, she saw a tear mark on Wang Liwu's face for no apparent reason. She was startled and quickly looked at the quietly open palm.

A light green glass marble was lying in the center of the intricate palm lines.

Chen Shizi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

My mind goes blank.

Glass marbles?

My thoughts were pulled back to the past.

When she was a child, from the age of three or four to early 10, she loved playing with glass marbles, two for a dime... She loved squatting under the yellow tungsten light bulb in the old house, playing with beer bottle caps on the bluestone tablet with glass marbles. She often played alone until late at night, without being disturbed by anyone, and she never got tired of playing...

The glass marble in the palm of his hand was a toy unique to children of that era, but it has been eliminated in today's era. Chen Shizi didn't know why, but tears slowly fell down his face.

"For you..."

She heard a woman's hoarse and choking voice above her head, and her heart was in pain.

Her palms were slowly pried open, and the light green glass bead slowly fell from the air and passed between the two palms.

But at the moment when the glass bead was about to touch his palm, Chen Shizi's heart was suddenly startled, he cried out subconsciously, and retracted his hand reflexively.

Hey!

Da da da da da da da da da…

The glass beads hit the floor tiles, bounced several times, and finally rolled away, at the end of which was a manhole cover and a sewer.

Chen Shizi woke up immediately and apologized hurriedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I... I... I'll pick it up for you..."

She ran over in a panic, and with a plop, the glass bead that was still shining in the sunlight fell through the hole in the manhole and entered the hole perfectly.

"I...I...I..." Chen Shizi lay beside the manhole cover with a look of regret on her face. She turned her head and saw Wang Liwu still looking at her deeply under the white wax tree. The remaining tear marks on her face glowing in the sunlight were like a winding and rugged mountain road, carrying the secret story in the heart of the woman opposite that no one could see.

Chen Shizi was speechless and extremely confused.

"I'm sorry. I..." Looking at the finger-sized hole deep inside the manhole cover, her heart ached, her eyes suddenly moistened, and she apologized uncomfortably: "I dropped your marbles."

"It's okay." Wang Liwu lowered his eyes and walked towards Chen Shizi silently.

"I'll compensate you, okay?" Chen Shizi suggested apologetically, looking at him carefully. His wet black eyes were filled with deep apology. For the first time, he showed a gentle look to Wang Liwu.

"I already said it's a gift for you." Wang Liwu stopped one step away from Chen Shizi. His face was already calm, as if he had been bathed in the autumn wind, and a sense of desolation remained on his body.

"Stand aside." She knelt on one knee beside the dusty manhole cover and spoke softly without looking back.

Be tolerant.

……

Two hours later, the bleak sun shifted slightly. Chen Shizi was holding a black wool coat by the manhole cover, with his shadow huddled under his feet.

She looked into the dark cave entrance with concern. There was a lingering foul smell coming from inside, and the rhythmic sound of flowing water came from the depths of the well far away.

"Can you find it?" Chen Shizi shouted towards the black hole. "If you can't find it, forget it. I'll go with you to pick out what you like, okay?"

Wang Liwu at the bottom of the well stood up straight, causing a sound of splashing water.

She looked up at the only bright light above her head without saying anything. After a while, she continued to bend down and reach into the sewage to look for her glass marbles.

That was her and her Xixi's only toy, their favorite toy...

The upright and noble body was folded in the narrow sewage hole, with no distractions and full concentration...

Chen Shizi knelt at the entrance of the cave holding his coat, staring fixedly at the back in the darkness underground, his eyes seeking for a solution gradually losing focus.

……

At 4:38 p.m., Wang Liwu finally climbed out of the well along the iron ladder. Her palms were clenched tightly and her face was calm.

She heard some noise at the bottom of the well.

Chen Shizi and the urban management staff were arguing, and a group of people were standing by and pointing fingers.

"If something is lost, you should call the fire department. How can you be so reckless? Who can just drain the sewer whenever they want? Who will be held responsible if something happens?" The slightly plump urban management officer spoke righteously, with a look of pride and indignation on his face.

Chen Shizi hugged his coat tightly in the center of the crowd, gritted his teeth and bowed his head to admit his mistake: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... My ring fell off, and I was so anxious that I asked my friends to go downstairs to look for it. I was ignorant and I didn't understand the law. I'm sorry..."

As the sun sets, the pale sky has been replaced by a thin blue-black color, and the ash trees in the twilight are as beautiful as a landscape painting.

Wang Liwu finally climbed out and saw a circle of colorful trouser legs and winter shoes above her head. She knew it clearly and quickly hooked her hands on the ground and pushed hard with her palms. In the hustle and bustle of the night, she jumped out of the well with dirty water dripping all over her body. Her wet figure was dark, graceful and agile, like a nimble cheetah.

"Oh, it stinks..." Someone in the crowd complained, and many people covered their mouths and noses.

Chen Shizi looked over anxiously, frowning, "Did you find it?"

Wang Liwu clenched his palms and nodded slightly. Seeing that the urban management was still preparing to teach him a lesson, he brushed off the sewage deposited on his suit pants and walked towards Chen Shizi with his chest puffed out. The night was getting darker and darker. She exuded a foul smell, but her tall and straight figure inexplicably made the onlookers feel noble and elegant, and extremely bright, replacing the moon lurking tonight.

Wang Liwu stopped one meter away from Chen Shizi, blocking the arrogant urban management officer. She casually untied her tied hair and spoke in her original tone that was full of contempt for everything, "I didn't mean to cause trouble for urban management, but it seems that my kindness has been taken for granted. Call your district chief."

"You! Who are you..." The urban management officer felt a little timid when he saw this demeanor.

I calmly straightened my wet and twisted black shirt, smoothed my collar, and proudly said, "Wang Liwu."
