Chapter 11 eight

It was dark inside, the lights were broken, and only the flickering lights of the shop signs in Zhonghua Shopping Center in Ximending came in through the window on the side of the railway.In the darkness, I could also see his eyes, the pupils of a night owl, shining with longing light.His swollen body stood there mammothly, waiting eagerly.I stood in front of the washbasin, turned on the faucet, and kept rinsing my hands.In the hot darkness, intense ammonia surged up from the urinal.Several record stores downstairs, just before closing time, competed to play the last popular song.The tap water was rushing, and it lasted for more than ten minutes before he dragged hesitantly, and the swollen figure explored and moved over.

In the gloomy darkness, I saw his bald, white head floating up and down.That night, in the chemistry laboratory of the school, I also saw Zhao Wusheng's bald and fat head shaking eagerly.The laboratory is filled with the pungent smell of nitric acid. The laboratory table in the room, which looks like an operating table, has been corroded by nitric acid for many years.I lay on my back, and my back was so painful.On the two rows of iron shelves along the table, there are many test tubes, and the pungent nitric acid chokes the eyes and nose.That night, I was lying on that experimental table, and the sound of the hammer hammering kept ringing in my head: Dong, Dong, Dong, again and again, beating on my celestial spirit cap.I saw them hammer five-inch black iron nails into Diwa's thin coffin lid.As soon as the hammer fell, my heart tightened, and the long iron nail pierced down, as if piercing into the flesh of my younger brother.The afternoon before, my brother had just been buried, and the porters slowly lowered his thin coffin into the dark cave. When the coffin hit the ground with a bang, my eyes went dark and I passed out.On the railway outside Konglong Konglong Zhonghua Shopping Center, there is a train rushing over, passing through the heart of Ximending.The sound of the car was getting closer and louder, right under the window, suddenly, the whole building of Zhonghua Shopping Center shook.Looking forward to the flickering lights outside the window, I suddenly had the idea of ​​running away, and leaped out of that window.But I didn't leave right away. I stuffed a lump of moist bills into my trouser pocket, and turned on the faucet. In the dark, I kept letting the cold water wash my sweaty hands.
