Chapter 9 The Story of the Pigeon

Have you ever wanted to say something but couldn't?Have you ever been miserable because you couldn't do something?

The dew gathers on the half-opened autumn radish, and the shy petals are washed away by it before they can reveal a slight fragrance.A pigeon is still parked on the windowsill, as if waiting to be fed.

Then it waited with a sigh.The person sitting in the room has a pair of inflexible eyes, looking quiet and lonely.

The pigeon didn't wait for the familiar touch, so it flapped its wings and jumped onto the opponent's shoulder.The other party finally reached out and touched it, and said, "You should get used to finding food by yourself."

Chirp, chirp.The pigeon raised its beak and gently pecked at his increasingly thinning hair.

If it wasn't for the disease that the hospital treated as a research case, everyone would have given up on it long ago, right?He raised his hand and touched the pigeon's soft feathers: "Don't rely on me, maybe I won't be here tomorrow."

At this time, there was a burst of loud laughter from outside: "Hahaha, is this your painting? It's too ugly!" "Yes, it's really terrible!" "Please, don't waste any more paper , might as well fold the plane for me."

The pigeon flew to the window sill and found that several children were booing around a child holding a drawing board.The leader actually looks very similar to that child, they have the same face, but their expressions are completely opposite: one face is full of ridicule, the other is full of tears.

"Don't cry! Crybaby! Others thought I was bullying you!" The booing boy said impatiently, "It's annoying enough for me to come to the hospital to see you on holidays, and you still cry for me! All right, we gone!"

The little boy was left alone sobbing.

The pigeon turned around, it knew that he was soft-hearted, so it would definitely take care of this kind of thing.

Sure enough, he gently pushed the wheelchair towards the source of the crying.After a while, he bumped into something.Probably the drawing board that was snatched and thrown aside.

He touched the outline on the paper and said with a smile, "Did you draw a dog? There were also flowers and butterflies... very beautiful."

The little boy raised his head and looked at him in disbelief: "Really?"

"real."

"I miss my dog ​​very much," said the little boy. "He went to a place with many flowers. He likes butterflies. I think he must be very happy."

"I think so too. It likes butterflies very much. Dogs like it."

"Yes, yes! At that time, he liked chasing butterflies with his younger brother the most..." The little boy gradually became elated.

In the days that followed, the pigeon could always see the little boy running over happily holding the painting. It peeked at it every time, thinking that the color scheme of the painting was really bad.But they all seemed happy.

That's fine.thought the pigeon.

However, the peaceful days were soon broken again.

When the little boy came over holding the painting, his abominable younger brother actually followed him quietly: "Haha, he is blind! Do you know that he is blind? He can't see! He praises you for your good painting because he pities you!"

Many times, one sentence can shatter something beautiful like a dream.

The little boy never appeared again.

The dove heard more and more sighs.

It fluttered its wings and flew to the place where the child who had chatted with him was.

At this moment, Tao Ming and Shen Gu were preparing to go out.

"We can go by ourselves." Shen Gu rejected Mother Shen's offer to see him off, and dragged Tao Ming to the station.

Tao Ming still couldn't believe that he could pass the preliminary round, he blinked: "Maybe I made a mistake?"

Shen Gu said, "It's very possible."

Tao Ming was a little unwilling: "It's clearly my name!"

Shen Gu squinted at him: "Then what did you suspect just now?"

Tao Ming stopped and thought for a while, then looked up and found that Shen Gu had already walked a long way, so he hurriedly stepped forward to catch up."I've never raced before," he said happily.

"It can be seen from your performance," Shen Gu pointed out the reality mercilessly: "The tip of the nose is sweating, the fingers are trembling, the number of invalid taps has increased, and the error rate has increased."

Tao Ming was dumbfounded: "You still have time to see me! Why do I feel like I don't have enough time..."

In order to take care of Tao Ming's pace, Shen Gu had no choice but to slow down: "You didn't really digest those things, you only stopped to search again and again when you needed them, of course it would be slow."

Tao Ming didn't quite understand: "Is it like this?"

"The station is here." Shen Gu dragged Tao Ming's hand and ran over: "If you are scattered, you have to squeeze me into the car anyway."

It was only then that Tao Ming realized that a dark crowd had gathered near the stop sign, office workers in suits and leather shoes, energetic junior and senior high school students... His palms were slightly sweating, causing Shen Gu to look back at him.

Tao Ming followed Shen Gu closely, and whispered, "Are there so many people here? Where do they usually hide?" Just after asking, Tao Ming found that Shen Gu looked at him with "Are you a fool?" look at yourself.He still insisted on asking: "...Why haven't I seen it?"

"None of us will come here. This platform is usually people from the residential area in front." Shen Gu pointed to the buildings in front of him and said, "It's the pile of buildings we saw on the mountain last time."

Tao Ming nodded, expressing his understanding.

As soon as the bright yellow bus arrived, the waiting crowd swarmed over it.It was the first time Tao Ming had seen this kind of fighting, and he finally understood why Shen Gu said that if he was pushed apart, if Shen Gu hadn't held onto him firmly and cleared the way ahead, he really wouldn't be able to get in the car.

The carriage was so crowded that there was hardly room to turn around.Tao Ming grabbed the handrail with all his strength, and when he saw Shen Gu throwing coins, he immediately gave up a piece of the handrail, and waved at Shen Gu fiercely.Shen Gu squeezed to his side, relying on his small body to lead him back, and stood near the back door.He was already half a head taller than Tao Ming, which just blocked him inside.

Tao Ming asked strangely: "Why are you standing here?"

Shen Gu didn't intend to answer at first, but seeing Tao Ming blinking at him all the time, he had no choice but to explain: "This is closer to the back door, and most of the people who get off the bus first will choose this seat. The person behind you has something special on his shoulder. The material may be the employee of the electronics factory at the next stop; the person on your left holding a copy of "Literary Theory" may be the student of the university at the third stop. These are probably the first two people to get off the bus, so we Just stand here."

Tao Ming: "...do you often take this bus?"

Shen Guban lowered his eyes: "It's the first time to sit."

Before Tao Ming recovered from the blow of "Why is Shen Gu so powerful", the car stopped.Then, as if to confirm Shen Gu's words, the suspected employee of the electronics factory stood up and got out of the car.

Tao Ming and Shen Gu managed to get a chair. It didn't take long for Tao Ming to recover from the freshness of going out of the "far door" and sleep all the way to the terminal.

The final was held in the Science and Technology Museum, and there were no parking spaces outside the museum.Among the many contestants who were accompanied by their parents and teachers, Tao Ming and Shen Gu were definitely outliers—they were the only two who walked over from the station.

Looking at the participation certificate they handed over, the venue staff was a little surprised, but seeing Shen Gu staring at himself with those dark eyes, he couldn't help speeding up the comparison, and said seriously: "No problem, you can go in, the pavilion There are stadium signs inside, you can find them yourself, or you can ask the uncle inside."

Shen Gu nodded expressionlessly, stood in front of the floor plan of the science and technology museum for a while, and then led Tao Ming to his examination room.

Although Shen Gu didn't leave any instructions, Tao Ming still said solemnly: "I will definitely work hard!"

Shen Gu's expression remained unchanged: "Let's see." Then he turned and went to his arena. Coincidentally, the two classrooms were directly facing each other across the atrium.

There is still some time before the start of the game, Tao Ming is a little nervous sitting in his seat, this is a very big game!The people around are much older than me, and they look very focused, with their hands on the keyboard, as if they are warming up before starting.

Tuk, tuk, tuk--

The very slight sound of knocking on the window interrupted Tao Ming's observation. He turned his head to look and found a pigeon standing outside the window, with bright black eyes looking straight at him, as if trying to say something, or begging help.

Tao Ming was taken aback, he thought of the pigeon in the park that pecked at the rose branches again and again.Looking at the contestants nervously waiting for the start of the competition, and at the teacher with a stern face, Tao Ming hesitated.

The pigeon didn't knock on the window anymore, but just stood there looking at Tao Ming, as if quietly waiting for his response.

Tao Ming finally couldn't help standing up, and ran out under the surprised eyes of everyone.The pigeon flew on his shoulder and said, "Thank you for coming out. Is it really all right?"

Tao Ming said, "You have something important to do, right?"

"Help him, can you help him?" Pigeon said, "He's worried about a child. I...I can't talk to that child. His condition is getting worse, and it's the first time I've seen him so sad."

Tao Ming understood the whole story from the pigeon's narration, he asked in a daze, "Is there such a person? Why do they laugh at others?"

Pigeon said: "They are always like this. Bullying the weak for pleasure, plundering the good to satisfy themselves, they never think about the harm they have caused to others, selfish and cruel."

Tao Ming frowned: "I don't understand."

Pigeon didn't speak any more.

Tao Ming asked: "Do you want me to find that kid? The kid who likes to draw."

The pigeon said: "If you can leave now...the city hospital is not far from here, and it takes only 10 minutes to walk there."

Tao Ming nodded: "Yes."

Then Shen Gu appeared behind him: "Where can you go?"

Tao Ming suddenly remembered that he was participating in a competition, and this competition was of special significance to Shen Gu.He said in a daze, "I, I..."

Shen Gu said: "Let's go. Tell me where you want to go, and I will go with you."

Tao Ming asked hesitantly, "Aren't you going to compete?"

Shen Gu looked at him and didn't speak.

Tao Ming immediately said, "Go to the city hospital."

Along the way, Tao Ming simply told Shen Gu what the pigeon had told him.Sure enough, the city hospital is not far from the Science and Technology Museum, just cross two streets.Tao Ming and Shen Gu, led by Ge Zi, soon came to a ward. Tao Ming asked Ge Zi, "Are you asking him to visit your friend?"

Pigeon nodded.

Tao Ming stepped forward and knocked on the door.

It was a tired middle-aged woman who came to open the door. She was taken aback when she saw the two strange children, and then asked, "Are you here to find Xiaowen?"

Shen Gu nodded first, and then looked at "Xiaowen" who was lying on the bed with a quilt covering his head.

The middle-aged woman said worriedly: "He has been like this for the past few days..."

Consultant Shen: "Can I talk to him?"

The middle-aged woman was surprised by Shen Gu's precocious tone, nodded involuntarily, and led them into the room.Although the tightly covered quilt tried hard to pretend to be calm, it was still possible to see that the child inside was moving. He must be listening to the movement outside with his ears up.

If Tao Ming hadn't come, he wouldn't have cared about such crap.Shen Gu closed his eyes, and then uttered a very blunt sentence: "He is about to die, can you come out?"

The quilt was pulled away abruptly, and the little boy raised his head with tears in his eyes.

Tao Ming was taken aback: "Ah...is that you?"

The little boy was also startled: "It's you..."

Tao Ming said: "That elder brother's illness has gotten worse...he's waiting for you there every day."

The little boy opened his eyes wide.

Tao Ming saw the painting in the little boy's hand.He said in surprise: "Ah, is this a pigeon? It's that pigeon..."

The little boy sobbed and said: "I can't go to him, my brother will call him blind. My brother said I shouldn't have friends... Can I not have friends? Why? Can you help me? That pigeon has been with me By his side...he must like it very much, with it by his side, he will not be alone."

Tao Ming froze there, since the first time we met, this little boy's bright and innocent eyes were filled with tears.

"It's fine if you don't go by yourself." Shen Gu finished with a sullen face, took Tao Ming's hand and said, "Let's go."

"That's it," Tao Ming tried hard to keep up with Shen Gu's rhythm: "Don't you need to do anything?"

"I hate the smell of potion, and I hate cowardice." It's like hating my former self.Shen Gu said: "Remember? When you climbed the mountain, you said that I couldn't carry you for the rest of my life. Similarly, you couldn't help him for the rest of his life."

Tao Ming nodded blankly.

Seeing that it was still early, Consultant Shen said, "Do you want to go to the Pottery Museum to make cookie molds?"

Tao Ming's eyes lit up: "Go!"

So the two took the bus to the pottery museum, and didn't return home until the evening with cookie molds of various shapes.

As soon as he entered the door, Tao Ming saw Shen's mother smiling and inserting a rose into the vase.Hearing their footsteps, Shen's mother turned her head and said, "Are you back? Someone put this rose on our mailbox. It may be the admirers of our two handsome boys! By the way, your competition how is everything?"

"Ah? Ah! The game..."

"Here." Shen Gu handed out the pottery cup he made for Shen's mother.

Mother Shen was so moved that she hugged Shen Gu tightly.

So everyone forgot about the game.

A pigeon was parked on the opposite roof. It watched them quietly for a while before spreading its wings and flying into the blue sky.

It seems that all is well.

Have you ever wanted to say something but couldn't?Have you ever been miserable because you couldn't do something?

Would you like to try it?

Maybe it's not that hard.
