VOL.04
As I approached the entrance of the community, my spirit relaxed, and I felt as if my entire body had collapsed, sitting down on the ground.
What exactly happened? Was it a burglary? Hurry and call the police! I shook my mother's shoulder desperately, hoping she could be brave.
When I came to my senses, I realized that there was actually a person sitting on the floor in the center of the room! Judging by their posture, surrounded by a mass of dark energy, they seemed to have fallen into deep contemplation
When these four characters flashed in my mind, I had no time to think further and rushed to the sixth floor with my last breath, arriving at my doorstep! ... But it was better not to look, for as soon as I did, I was immediately dumbfounded ...
That... once mom earns it back, I will tell you! Mom assured me with great confidence
Hmm... Mother’s voice sounded tinged with a hint of grievance, "I recently heard that stock trading can be profitable, so I... I made up my mind and invested all my money! I originally planned to withdraw both the principal and the interest within a month, but unexpectedly, it has only been three days..."
Oh my God ... Oh my God! Oh my God!!
I apologize... I weakly agreed, lifting my head with difficulty. Before me stood a rusty old truck. A bearded man was smoking a cigarette, leaning out of the lowered window, glaring at me with impatience.
Help! There is a thief!
"No! No!" Mother finally couldn't hold back any longer, standing up abruptly, her eyes fixed on me without blinking. "Recently, Mother has invested all the money in the house into the stock market!"
I... I have already called your school to transfer!" Mother hesitated for a moment, "You can go to study at the British boys' high school next week, haha! The tuition and living expenses will be saved...
Falling ... ... Falling ... ...
Bang
How infuriating... ? ... In the end, does God still want to test me a little more ... ? Since that's the case ? ... ... Hmph! Then I'll show you by leaving! I, Cai Ling, am not the kind of girl who cries and wails over a little setback, feeling utterly devastated!
The man honked the horn twice and shouted at me, "Hurry up and get out of the way! I have to finish this last moving job today and then go home for dinner!"
What? The last bus! Hearing this announcement coming from a hundred meters away, I was startled and shivered all over, quickly shielding my eyes with my hand and standing on tiptoe to look ahead
Beep! Beep!
I walk, walk, walk! ... I walk ... ... walk. ... ... ... walk ... ... I walk. ... ... ... I can no longer walk ...
Wow wow wow! Silly mom! Who gave you the right to make decisions on your own! I don't want to go to the British boys' high school! ... I ...! ... I am a girl after all!
By the way! ... That red carved big bed ...? ... Isn't it the most beloved piece of furniture of mom? ? ! ... And the desk with the One Piece poster ...! ... That's my treasure, isn't it? ! How could it be in the uncle's car? !
Ah?! I exclaimed, and everything went dark before my eyes. Suddenly, a very serious question came to my mind, "Mom! Can you tell me where you got the money for the newly purchased stocks?"
What? I felt as if I had been struck by lightning, trembling all over as I looked around the bare room once more, "These are all..."
My goodness! Is this... my home?
Cai Ling ... ... "Mom looked at me with a face full of sorrow, her expression surprisingly somewhat unnatural
Mom! Where is our television? What about the refrigerator? And the sofa?" I urgently grabbed my mother's shoulders and asked anxiously
I looked at my mother in confusion, not understanding what trick she was playing.
to a new school ... ... and it is an English boys' high school ... ...
In the empty house, all the furniture has mysteriously vanished! Even the curtains have been taken away! The windows and doors are wide open, trembling uneasily in the wind with a creaking sound.
I was suddenly taken aback, an ominous premonition arose from the depths of my heart, and a sense of misfortune surged like dark clouds gathering above my head
Cai Ling ... ... '' Mother seems unwilling to explain much to me, which makes my heart even more uneasy
That's right, little girl! Don't think too much when there's nothing wrong; getting hit by a car really hurts! Haha!" The uncle laughed heartily, pulled his head back into the car, and cheerfully honked the horn twice, driving out of the community with a truckload of furniture and appliances.
What? You lost all your possessions in just three days? My voice suddenly rose by eighty decibels! My goodness! Oh my mother! Do you know what you are doing?
Wait! Wait for me! There's still one more person! Thinking of this, I suddenly yanked the backpack on my shoulder, disregarding my already exhausted legs that could barely lift, and dashed towards the bus station!
No! I want to know right now! I shook my head resolutely.
On a night of thunder and lightning, my screams drifted through the skies of Saint Laurent ... drifting ...
Kara kara - woo -
Alas ... Today has truly been a day of great excitement, and now, as I reflect on every detail, my heart is still racing with tension.
I feel as though my young heart is falling into an endless abyss of darkness, my mind is blank
Boom
Wow ... ! ... Who on earth is so inconsiderate as to place such a large stone in the middle of the sidewalk ? ! Don't they know it's very dangerous ... ? I just lifted my foot and tripped over it, causing me to fall to the ground, leaving me dizzy and disoriented ... ...
A flash of lightning streaked across the night sky, and a pale light filtered through the window, illuminating my bewildered face
The tone of this... mother began to become hesitant, avoiding my questioning gaze
Dear passengers, please be advised that this is the last bus of the day. Passengers who need to board, please hurry up
Hey! Little girl, are you trying to get yourself killed sitting in the middle of the road?
I have bought stocks again, and this time you can rest assured, my judgment is very accurate! Such things will definitely not happen again! I will earn back everything that was lost!
I ... ... '' Seeing that there was no possibility of leniency here, my mother gritted her teeth and said word by word, `` There is a scholarship program for poor students sponsored by male seniors in today's newspaper, so I ... ... signed up for it. ''
Despite my struggle to get up from the ground, shouting and waving at the bus, in the end, the bus still coldly drove away, disappearing into the night... I looked at the sparsely populated road and let out a helpless sigh
Tell me! I nervously stared at my mother
Uh... wait... wait a minute! Why do I feel that the items in that uncle's car just now looked so familiar?
Help!
No...! ... Not good...! The train... ... It seems the train has already started! ... The last train...! ... Oh my God?! If I miss this train, does that mean I have to walk home?! The school is six streets away from my house, and even if I run, it will take me an hour to get home!
However, Cai Ling! Rest assured! Mother already has a new plan! Suddenly, Mother's voice rose by eight decibels.
I want to take a bath with lots of bubbles, oh la la... be careful of the fleas, there are so many bubbles, oh la la... I hummed a tune as I walked out of the campus, heading towards the bus station
My goodness! The "thief" sitting on the floor is actually the mistress of this house—my mother
What are you going to do again? I looked at my mother in confusion, no longer expecting her to do any good deeds, as long as she does not add to the trouble
I gently nodded, using the last bit of my strength to rise from the ground, stumbling as I walked to the side
Baba baba baba
Ah! When I finally saw the true face of this "thief," I was even more astonished, unable to close my mouth!
Moving business? ... So this uncle is from the moving company
Is it possible? ... In this day and age, even thieves can brazenly ponder the meaning of life in someone else's home ... I was nervously contemplating my escape when, unexpectedly, the "thief" suddenly turned around.
Crackling!
