Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 19 Accidents
Mu Zhen's life in No. [-] Middle School can be said to be painful and happy. Although she is often patronized by colds and allergic rhinitis, this does not affect Mu Zhen's carefree life rhythm at all. Together, there will always be different joys. The advantages of the classmates really opened the eyes of the young Mu Zhen, and those excellent qualities made her suddenly enlightened. The stories of diligent study such as "Yingxue reading" and "head hanging from the beam and vertebra piercing the bone" actually happened around me. These are role models and targets for me to catch up with.

Mu Zhen has become indifferent to the concept of home. Compared with the life under the pressure of old Mu Qiang, Mu Zhen has found her own joy in life. Yun is full of infinite longing, but when enjoying the infinite joy, there will always be small episodes, and even almost lead to catastrophe.

Perhaps it is because of Mu Zhen's heavy family education background. On weekends, when everyone is eager to go home for reunion, Mu Zhen does not feel homesick. The classmate who is not convenient to go home spends weekends at school. Although his Chinese and mathematics scores can always be ranked among the top three in the class, in Lao Mu's mind, his English scores have not reached the level that Lao Mu wants. According to Lao Mu's idea, it doesn't matter if the other homework can be lower, but the scores in Chinese, mathematics, and English must be in the top of the class. It is still far from what Lao Mu wanted in his heart, so every time he returned home, Lao Mu was overwhelmed with anxiety. After all, he was powerless with English, and he knew that he couldn't help him, so he Unavoidably there was a trace of indescribable embarrassment, and what this embarrassment conveyed to Mu Zhen was an unspeakable fear.It was this fear that kept Mu Zhen at school most weekends.

On weekend school nights, except for the high school graduating class who make up lessons, the classroom does not have electricity for the rest of the grades who go home for the weekend. Teacher Li was afraid that everyone would be lonely. In the first few weeks when he first entered the school, he asked the monitor not to return. List of classmates who spend the weekend at home, and organize everyone to watch TV in the school TV room at night.In front of the [-]-inch black-and-white TV set in the TV room, it became the biggest prayer for the students who didn’t go home on weekends. Everyone often gathered here, staring at it for two or three hours without rest.

The weekend is here again, when the sun is slowly setting on the west mountain, and the curtain of the night is slowly drawing down, everyone came to wait in front of the TV room at the same time, but this time did not wait for the result that everyone expected, the door of the TV room was not opened , I heard that the teacher in charge of the key to the TV room had something to do at home and was not at school, so everyone went back to their dormitories or classrooms angrily.

Mu Zhen felt a little lost, and really didn't know where to spend this long silent night. In the afternoon, he had already reviewed his homework in the classroom with the classmates who stayed behind. He planned to continue watching the unfinished TV series last week in the evening. , now it seems that his plan has come to nothing, so he and Yang Liuqing from his class went to the playground for a few laps, then walked towards the dormitory.

In the dormitory on the weekend, it was quiet and dimly lit by candlelight. Two students, Li Zhengguo and Xu Weiren, who hadn’t come home on the weekend, were lying on the bed on the upper bunk, learning something?The two walked forward and greeted each other. Mu Zhen pulled the quilt, took a candle and lit it from Li Zhengguo's burning candle, and carefully dripped a few drops of melted water on the wooden box beside her bed. He quickly pressed the candle on it, and took out the "Wreath under the Mountain" from under his pillow. This book was distributed with the textbook when they entered school. Jane has turned over countless times, and read many wonderful chapters, but he still can't put it down. He puts the book under his head pillow, just to review the previous chapter at any time during his spare time on weekends.She came back earlier this evening, so Mu Zhen still did not forget to take out this "Wreath under the Mountain" and turn over a few pages.

Time passed quickly, and Mu Zhen had already read more than [-] pages in one breath. His arms were a little numb, so he put the book aside, turned over and lay down. Only then did he realize that the three of them did not know when The candles have been extinguished, and she fell asleep early, but Mu Zhen was seeing the wonderful things, and she really couldn't bear to let go of the wonderful things in the book, so she lay down and squinted her eyes, trying to recall the plot just now, just squinting her eyes for a while, Let it fall into dreamland unknowingly.

Children in adolescence always sleep so deeply. The faint light from candles in the cold winter night illuminates Mu Zhen's snoring face, making it slightly reddish. To the poet, this expression is full of warmth and joy. Romance, but who can think of the following things, a potential disaster is quietly approaching.

Slowly, the light from the candles began to dim, and the candle on the bed frame melted into a pool of wax, and the cotton thread went down, igniting the wooden boards of the bed frame, and then the room suddenly brightened many times, and the crooked cotton thread brought The flame slid down, unbiased, and just fell on Mu Zhen's cotton-filled pillow, instantly burning a hole in the pillow, attracting the cotton in the pillow, although there was no flame, but the burning cotton But the smell caused Mu Zhen to have a strange dream. He dreamed that his padded jacket was stuffed into a cigarette butt by someone, and black smoke came out. When he hurriedly rubbed it with his hands, the pain caused him to yell—"Ouch!" , Waking up from a dream, the shout was surprisingly loud, it immediately broke the tranquility in the dormitory, and woke up everyone in the dormitory. When the four opened their eyes, they were stunned by the light in the room at the same time. Mu Zhen He was the first to react, not only did he feel bad from the smell of burnt cotton, but more importantly, the burning cotton on the head pillow made his face feel hot.

Mu Zhen shuddered and jumped off the bed. Without saying a word, she immediately grabbed a corner of the pillow and flung it to the door of the dormitory. Soon after, he grabbed the bucket behind the door and poured half of the bucket of water on it.The other three people also got out of bed one after another. After Yang Liuqing got out of bed, she didn't care about the wetness on the ground. The pillow was pressed against the bed that was on fire, and the room immediately became dark, only the sound of rapid breathing was heard.

The thrill just now did not make Mu Zhen feel scared. At this moment, there was no light in the room, and everything returned to calm. Mu Zhen suddenly squatted down, holding her head and sobbing. The other three people were silent.They didn't know how to comfort Mu Zhen, so Yang Liuqing put out the fire on the bed, and greeted Li Zhengguo in the dark, "Quick, light your candle!"

Li Zhengguo, who came back to his senses, groped and walked to his bed, and found the box of matches that was a little bit warm under the head of the bed. With a sound of "Zi", the match head ignited, and there was a faint sound in the room again. At the same time, they lit the burning match on the unburned candle on the head of the bed. By the light of the candle, the three of them noticed that there was a puddle of water that Mu Zhen had just poured on the ground. Yang Liuqing took the wet pillow Li Zhengguo picked up the candle beside his bed, carefully walked around the water stains that had just been splashed on the ground, walked to Mu Zhen's bedside, and checked carefully with Yang Liuqing if there was anything left. Something ignited. After two people searched carefully, except for Mu Zhen's pillow and the burning wax on the bed, nothing was found to be ignited.The two breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and said almost in unison: "Fortunately, there is nothing serious!"

Li Zhengguo stroked the bed that Yang Liuqing had just extinguished with his hands, and said happily, "The bed is only burning with wax, and there is no trace of burning!"

Xu Weiren bent down, took Mu Zhen's arm, and pulled Mu Zhen who was squatting on the ground up: "It's fine, it's a trivial matter if this pillow burns, and nothing major happened, so let's act as if nothing happened. We'll replace it with a new one for you."

Mu Zhen stopped her sobbing immediately: "I didn't know how to be afraid just now, if I let the teacher know about this, what should I do!"

"Don't worry, the four of us know, if we don't say anything, who else knows?" Xu Weiren said solemnly.

"Besides, this matter will be cleaned up tomorrow, and no traces will be seen, so what else can happen?" Xu Weiren added.

Mu Zhen looked at Xu Weiren with gratitude: "I'm all to blame for this, I forgot to blow out the candle when I lay down, it almost caused a catastrophe!"

Li Zhengguo came over with a candle in his hand: "Stop complaining, go to bed quickly, it's too cold, and you'll be in trouble if you catch a cold! I'll deal with the water in the house tomorrow!" As he spoke, he lightly dipped the candle on the On the head of his bed.

At this time, Mu Zhen felt the coldness under her feet, smiled wryly, went back to her bed, picked up the wet pillow, twisted it, and wiped the dirt under her feet.

Everyone got into their beds again and lived in peace overnight.

　In fact, there will be unusual experiences in everyone's life. These experiences bring together the joys and sorrows of the world, but sometimes the smaller the things, the more you will find that in fact, it is in these unusual experiences that life shows the brilliance of human life.
