Chapter Nineteen My Dad's Fury

Walking out of the classroom, the math teacher came towards me and asked, "Chen Xiaotian, it's all in class, where are you going?"

I ignored him and walked straight forward.

I didn't dare to walk fast, for fear that the shit on my body would leak out, so I could only walk forward step by step. It was still raining outside. After leaving the teaching building, the rain water poured on me, but I had no sense at all, and I was like a walking corpse.

The rain kept falling, I kept walking, all emotions were pulled away from my heart, all thoughts were empty from my brain, and I didn't know how I walked home.

As soon as I went back, I had a high fever, my whole body was soaked and my mind was dizzy. Dragging my weak body, I took a shower, washed my clothes, and then lay on the bed and covered it with a quilt. The quilt was quite thick, but I still felt very cold. I curled up in the quilt, trembling!

At noon, my dad came back. He saw me lying on the bed and touched my head. He found it was so hot. He immediately became anxious and said to me: "Xiaotian, hurry up and follow me to the hospital!"

I said weakly, "I won't go." No matter how my dad persuaded me, I couldn't go.

My dad had no choice but to go to the clinic to invite the doctor and give me a bottle of drip. After that, my dad went to a nearby convenience store and called the head teacher to ask for leave on a public phone.

This day, I spent my time in a daze and wanted to sleep, but when I closed my eyes, the scene was full of shit and my ears were full of sarcasm to me. I was so scared that I didn't dare to close my eyes.

The next morning, my dad got up and saw that I was still lying on the bed, so he came over and touched my forehead. He found that the high fever had subsided. He immediately said, "Xiaotian, your fever has subsided. You can go to school."

When I heard the word school, my heart trembled and my nerves tense. To me, this place was like hell, which made me scared from the bottom of my heart. I didn’t want to go there. I just wanted to hide in the shell of a turtle like a turtle and never come out for the rest of my life. So I said to my dad weakly: "Dad, I don’t want to go to school anymore."

When my dad heard this, he was stunned. I usually go to school. I will insist on going to school no matter it is windy or rainy. But now it’s fine and I don’t go to school. This really puzzled my dad. He asked me, “Have you encountered something in school? You told dad that dad will deal with it for you.”

My father once threatened Zhou Hao with a kitchen knife, thinking that this would keep me safe, but the final result was extremely bleak. So, no matter what, I wouldn't tell my father about Zhou Hao, I could only say to him: "No, I just don't want to study anymore, I want to drop out of school."

Speaking of this, the tears that I had been enduring suddenly came out, and the tears wet the pillow.

My dad was anxious when he saw me crying. He sat down beside my bed, comforted me, and persuaded me: "Child, you can't have this idea. You must read books. Your dad is not promising because he has not studied. Dad is counting on you now. If you don't study, this society will not be able to tolerate you in the future!"

My father's words were earnest. I was even more sad when I heard them. I have always been my father's only expectation. From the first day I sent me to school, he has been counting on me for a promising future. I have really worked hard for so many years. Could it be that I have to give up like this now?

What can I do if I give up studying? I can’t pick up trash like my dad, right? For me, studying is my only way out. Even if it’s not for myself, I have to stick to it for my dad. Only when studying changes my destiny can my dad be truly open-minded, and I may be able to take him to live a good life in the future.

Moreover, if Zhou Hao really wants to deal with me, he can also deal with me when I hide at home. Escape can't solve the problem at all. I can only keep moving forward, no matter how difficult or hard it is, I have to bear it.

After I figured it out, I sat up and slowly started to wear my clothes.

Seeing me so nimble, my dad asked in confusion: "What are you going to do?"

I replied seriously: "Go to school!" I can't give up on the road of study. Even if I kneel down, I will finish it!

After a simple breakfast, I went to school.

As soon as I entered the school, I felt deeply afraid. I began to be afraid to face it. I became very uncomfortable. I felt that the whole school knew that I was shitting on my body. It seemed that the whole world was laughing at me. I didn’t dare to look at anyone. I kept burying my head deeply and slowly walked towards the classroom.

As soon as I entered the classroom, I heard a harsh voice: "Oh, isn't this shit king Chen Xiaotian?"

"He is not called Chen Xiaotian now, he should be called Shi Xiaotian."

"Haha, this guy's shit is so smelly. I couldn't stand it even when I had lunch yesterday."

"Why is he so embarrassed to come to class? If it were me, I would definitely kill you."

"What's wrong with this? Don't forget that his father is picking up trash. Can he survive until now without any shame?"

"Oh, I hope he won't shit in the classroom anymore. I really can't stand the smell."

All kinds of ironic sounds, like hurricanes and tsunamis, roaring and drowning, completely sweeping me, making me breathless and breathing difficult, my whole face became hot, my chest became stuffy, and I felt uncomfortable. However, I could not do anything, and I could only bear it. With these terrifying sounds, I walked towards my seat silently with extremely difficult steps.

Until I sat down, the sounds were still endless. Everyone was in a hurry and insisted on laughing at me for this. I felt that there seemed to be countless flies buzzing around me, and my head was about to explode. At this moment, Wang Shiqi, who had been silent, suddenly slapped the table angrily and said loudly: "Don't make a noise!"

Now, my world finally became quiet!

After the first class in the morning, Liu Xi came up again. He knocked on the door of my class and shouted, "Chen Xiaotian, come out!" This time, his tone became more tough.

As soon as I saw this wronged soul, I was scared. I really didn't want to face Zhou Hao. However, I was too clear that I could not avoid him. Since I decided to continue studying in school, I was destined to continue to accept Zhou Hao's destruction. I could only obey this demon and not disobey. So, I didn't hesitate much, got up and walked towards the door.

When Wang Shiqi saw Zhou Hao asking me for another visit, she was also very annoyed, but this time, she did not stop me because she knew that I could not solve any problem when I hid in the classroom, and she could not help me.

I lowered my head all the way, followed Liu Xi, and went up to the rooftop of the teaching building.

At this moment, there was a group of people gathered at the rooftop. It was a group of gangster students led by Zhou Hao. They were smoking here. There were many cigarette butts scattered in a mess on the rooftop. Obviously, this place was their usual smoking place.

Seeing me coming up, Zhou Hao threw the cigarette butt and stomped it out. Then he asked casually at me: "Chen Xiaotian, do you know what I asked you to do?"

I said nervously: "I don't know."

Zhou Hao slowly approached me and said to me very seriously: "I asked someone to hurt your dad and let someone demolish your messy home. Aren't you angry with me?"

I whispered, "I dare not."

Zhou Hao paused and asked again: "Then I force you to kneel down at the entrance of KFC to eat the stuff I stepped on, don't you hate me?"

I continued, "I dare not."

Zhou Hao was silent for two seconds and asked again: "Then I'll beat you up in your class. But the whole school knows about this, don't you blame me?"

When I heard this, my soul seemed to tremble. This shame is the deepest scar on my heart. It is impossible for me to say that I don’t hate Zhou Hao. However, I still lowered my head and said in a muffled voice: “I dare not.”

These two words are the only answer I can give Zhou Hao. I really don’t dare to fight him. No matter how badly I am bullied, I dare not complain. I can only swallow all the shame and pain.

After listening to my answer, Zhou Hao suddenly clapped his applause. While clapping, he said to me: "Chen Xiaotian, I really admire you. To be honest, this is the first time in my life that I have seen you as a useless and cowardly. You are such a weirdo!"

After hearing this, Zhou Hao's brothers all agreed and started to laugh.

For me, Zhou Hao's verbal sarcasm is the lightest punishment for me. I don't care about his verbal insults. I just suddenly raised my head and said earnestly to Zhou Hao: "Can Brother Hao let me go?"

Zhou Hao shook his head and said seriously: "No!"

I twitched my face and asked, "Why can't you let me go?" I am really afraid that my life will be entangled by Zhou Hao in the future. I don't want to live such a nightmare life!

When Zhou Hao heard me ask this, his eyes suddenly turned cold. Then he stared at me and said slowly: "Do you want to know? Then I will tell you why, because I think you smashed my head. Except for you, I can't think of anyone else. Don't think you are as cowardly as your grandson. I will dispel your suspicion of you and tell you that it's impossible! Now that I'm discharged from the hospital, I will investigate this matter to the end, and I will definitely find out the truth!"

Zhou Hao's words were firm and tough. After I heard this, I felt like I fell into an ice cave. It turned out that Zhou Hao had never cancelled his suspicion of me. He didn't want to let me go at all. No wonder he had a conflict with Wang Shiqi in the class and wanted to vent his anger on me. He was using Wang Shiqi as an excuse and deliberately found a reason to hit me.

I can't escape. Zhou Hao, the devil, has completely entangled me. When he finds out the truth, I will die without a burial place. I am very afraid and worried, but on the surface, I still have to maintain my calmness. I looked at Zhou Hao and said innocently: "Brother Hao, you misunderstood. I really didn't do that."

Zhou Hao didn't listen to my nonsense at all. He waved his hand to me and said, "Don't tell me that these are useless. It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Anyway, I don't have any evidence now, so I won't do anything to you. But before I find the evidence, you should be taught a lesson as the first suspect. I will beat you up every day."

After saying that, he kicked me without hesitation and knocked me to the ground.

Then, he shouted: "Call me!"

Immediately, his brothers surrounded me and beat me up wildly. Countless punches and feet kept hitting me. My body hurts very much and my bones squeak. I feel so uncomfortable, but I can only endure it with tears in my mind.

It was not until the class bell rang that they stopped beating me. Then, Zhou Hao took his people and left arrogantly.

The rooftop calmed down, and the wind blew on my broken body, bringing out a desolation.

I lay on the ground for a while and then endured the pain, slowly got up from the ground, patted my clothes clean, and then walked back to the classroom.

Later, Wang Shiqi looked for me and wanted to ask about my situation with Zhou Hao. I ignored her and didn't even dare to look at her. The shame of being beaten in the classroom yesterday, and the fear Zhou Hao gave me on the rooftop today made me feel painful and desperate. I have no face to face Wang Shiqi, and I am also afraid to talk to anyone. I completely blocked myself and rejected everything from the outside world.

The next day, Friday, the third class just ended in the morning, and Zhou Hao called me to the rooftop again.

Today, Zhou Hao seemed to be in a bad mood. He didn't let his brother hit me, but instead hit me with his own hands to vent his emotions. He hit me very hard and felt like he was crazy. Although his injuries had not healed, he was very strong. Every punch and every kick hit me like a sledgehammer. I was beaten too many times this week and was beaten almost every day, which made my body's ability to withstand reached the limit. I had been malnourished since I was a child and had poor physical fitness. So today, under Zhou Hao's crazy attack, I was beaten so hard that I spit out several mouthfuls of blood, and my face turned as white as a dead person.

Zhou Hao's brothers, seeing that I was like this, they immediately grabbed Zhou Hao. Liu Xi also persuaded Zhou Hao: "Brother Hao, don't really beat someone to death."

Zhou Hao stopped, looked at me lying on the ground, then he spat at me, and said unhappy: "It's indeed a top waste, so I'm so careless. I hope you can give me more time next time!" After that, he took his brother away from the rooftop.

I lay on the ground and gasped for a long time before I got up with difficulty. Then, I dragged my dilapidated body and supported the wall to return to the classroom.

In the fourth class, I kept coughing, maybe because of an internal injury, I even coughed up bleeding.

Wang Shiqi, who has always been very concerned about me, saw that I was seriously injured, so after class, she ran over and said to me, "Chen Xiaotian, you seem to be seriously injured. I'll take you to the hospital!"

I ignored her anyway, lowered my head and left silently.

Usually I walk home for twenty minutes. Today I walk for more than half an hour before finally getting home. When I arrive at the door, I can no longer hold on, my legs are trembling, and I am extremely weak.

My dad had already prepared lunch for me at home. When he saw me coming back, he immediately said to me happily: "Xiaotian, you are back. Let me tell you good news. Today, my dad picked up a wallet outside and I handed it back to the owner. The kind-hearted owner gave me a thousand yuan in rewards. I specially made you braised pork today."

Braised pork is my favorite dish. I dream of eating it. In normal times, I would definitely be so happy when I heard my dad cooked braised pork. But at this moment, I couldn’t be happy even if I wanted to be happy. Before I could say anything, my legs couldn’t stand and I collapsed on the ground limply.

Seeing this, my father was frightened immediately. He immediately carried me to the bed, then touched my head, and found that he didn't have a fever. He patted my face again and called to me, "Xiaotian, what's wrong with you? Don't scare dad!" My father was very nervous and worried, and sweat oozed out of his forehead.

I didn't want my dad to worry. I wanted to tell him that I was fine, but my throat seemed to be blocked by something and I couldn't speak at all. My body was still shaking constantly.

My dad noticed something was wrong with me, and immediately he came to lift my clothes.

As soon as I opened it, my father's eyes suddenly widened because he saw that none of the places I was wrapped in my clothes were intact. My body was covered with blue and purple, and blood was still seeping out of many places. It looked terrible.

The next second, my dad's eyes suddenly turned red. He clenched his fists and roared, "Tell me, who beat you like this?"
