Chapter 91
At first, Wen Jianning didn't react, thinking that there was a war somewhere in the city.
After being dragged all the way to the scene by Zhong Hui, he realized that it was just two groups of students fighting.
When they rushed over, both sides of the fight had been pulled apart by the people around them, both sides had blue noses and swollen faces, and their clothes were messy, but they were still arguing, and even the onlookers had no shortage of students who joined them in arguing, and there was chaos for a while.
Zhong Hui whispered to her the side to tell her the ins and outs of the matter.
To some extent, this incident is still the aftermath of the gang caused by the Zhengfeng group.
Since the convergence of the Grammar School and the main campus, the attacks on the style of life have not stopped, but have intensified. After all, the entertainment conditions in Kunming are much better than the original Mengzi, with cafes, cinemas, and dance halls. In addition to pursuing fashion in dressing, some students from wealthy families also hold banquets and dance ballroom dances.
Someone published an article in the school newspaper that satirized the life style of these students, not only the language was extremely mean, but each character could make familiar people see the prototype. So the person concerned came directly to the door and beat the person who wrote the article.
Wen Jianning shook his head when he heard this: "On the one hand, the evil words hurt people, and on the other hand, they fists and feet are facing each other, saying that they are patriotic, but when the national disaster is at hand, their own people fight first, what is this." β
This is true for trivial matters, not to mention disputes over other aspects.
There were more and more onlookers like them, and although many people went up to discourage the fight, the group of people made too much noise, and after a while, the teachers of the school's discipline office hurried to mediate, including Professor Li, whom they knew.
After the Mengzi Grammar School moved to Kunming, the original office was merged into the main campus. Professor Lai, who is good at handling student affairs, has become one of the heads of the Discipline Office.
Wen Jianning has dealt with Professor Li twice, although it is not a pleasant thing, but the two sides are also acquaintances.
She was originally out of politeness, and pulled Zhong Hui over to say hello to him, but was named by Professor Li: "Since you two are also here, I'll go to the office and wait for a while, I just have something to look for you." β
The two of them were a little confused, what could Professor Li do with them.
However, they still went to the office of the Discipline Office, and when Professor Li finally finished dealing with the dispute, they asked them, "The two of you did the recent poster called "Wildfire", right?"
Wen Jianning and Zhong Hui suddenly became nervous.
It's not a big deal to run a poster, and the school has never explicitly forbidden students from running a poster, so it can be seen that there is no problem, but just because there is no problem with running a poster does not mean that the articles posted on it are no problem.
"Wildfire" has only been running for a short time, and not many people have contributed to them, and the articles above are mainly from the hands of the two of them. Wen Jianning still knows how to exercise restraint, but Zhong Hui has written some satirical commentaries on the current chaos, and the wording in them is very bold and scathing, and it may touch some people's taboos. But the poster is run by two people together, and each article is also discussed and revised together, and if something really goes wrong and is approached, they should naturally bear it together.
Professor Li said gently: "Don't be nervous, it's nothing, just a simple registration." Recently, the school has been keeping a list of student leaders in each poster, just like the list of your student clubs, and the Discipline Office has to keep a record here. β
Wen Jianning hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you have to use our real name?"
Zhong Hui was also like her, looking at Professor Li with a nervous face, only to see him suddenly laugh.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Wen Jianning reacted that he seemed to have asked a not very smart question.
But in the end, when they were registering, when Wen Jianning and the others tentatively made up a name and filled it in, Professor Li didn't stop them, waved his hand and let them go. But this incident still sounded the alarm bell for them.
The school has noticed the existence of the new force of posters, and sooner or later more people will notice it.
The two discussed privately whether to restrain their rhetoric in case they were caught making a fuss in the future. But after the discussion, they decided what to write or what to write. The United Nations General Assembly has always had a liberal atmosphere, and it is not without students who are more daring to speak than them, and they do not have the need to worry about the world for the time being. When the limelight changes, it's not too late to think about it.
As for the fight that day, the school also quickly gave the result.
The students who beat people have remembered it, and the other students involved held several debates on life styles in public under the organization of several professors. The two sides argued fiercely for several days, but in the end, no one could convince anyone, the students of the naΓ―ve faction were still proud of only watching patriotic movies after the Anti-Japanese War, and the students of the luxury faction still went their own way.
However, after the debate, similar disputes on the surface gradually decreased. But Wen Jianning could still feel that under the seemingly calm water, there were still countless undercurrents surging.
After the turmoil passed, the semester officially began.
Due to the different fields of study, the classes of second-year students are different from before.
Wen Jianning and her dormitory are not only taking big classes together, but they can only go to their own elective courses in pairs and threes at other times, and occasionally there are even people who are alone.
For example, Wen Jianning chose a native plant, and she was the only one in the dormitory who chose this course. When she went to the classroom on the day of class, she found that there were not many people in the Faculty of Arts who chose this course, and there was hardly anyone she knew among the classmates around her.
She chose the innermost window seat to sit down, and was looking down at her textbook when a senior boy came in from outside the door.
The other party glanced at the classroom a few times, and quickly fixed his gaze in the direction where Wen Jianning was sitting, and walked towards this side.
Wen Jianning noticed that someone was sitting in front of her, and as soon as she subconsciously looked up, she saw that Feng Yi had already walked to the position in front of her and sat down.
She was a little surprised, and said hello to him before asking, "Why did you go to this door too?"
Feng Yi saw her laughing, and laughed too: "I happen to be interested in this course, come and listen." β
But I didn't expect to meet her here by such a coincidence.
For example, there is a professor in the Faculty of Arts who speaks so well about ancient Chinese mythology that even students from the Polytechnic School come from afar to attend classes, and the corridors outside the window are full of people.
Although Feng Yi studied physics, she was influenced by her family since she was a child, and she was also slightly interested in traditional culture.
Originally, when friends met, they should have said a few more words to Feng Yi, but Wen Jianning didn't know what to say for a while.
Although Feng Yi didn't know about it and regarded her as a friend, Wen Jianning knew very well in her heart that in order to prevent Zhong Hui from thinking too much, she deliberately didn't have that astrophysics, and she never thought that the two would meet together so coincidentally.
Looking at Feng Yi with a frank attitude in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty in her heart. Zhong Hui misunderstood her relationship with Feng Yi, she just needed to explain more, how could she take the initiative to distance herself from her friends because she was afraid of people's words.
Wen Jianning was still blaming himself in his heart, the professor who taught them had already come.
The classroom, which was still a little noisy, quickly quieted down, and Feng Yi also turned around.
Coming in was an old gentleman in a blue coat with a messy goatee, and if you don't know, you are afraid that you will think it is a professor in the Chinese department. Although the old professor was old and carried a large box containing specimens in his hand, he walked to the podium with very steady steps, and said in a loud voice: "Students, please open the textbook first and turn to the ......."
Before he could finish his sentence, everyone heard a high-pitched, long siren outside.
More than half a year has passed, and Japanese planes have to fly over Kunming several times every three or five times. Everyone was accustomed to this voice, and they subconsciously looked at the podium. Sure enough, the old professor closed the textbook and calmly announced, "That's all for today's class for the time being, please leave in turn." β
As the words fell, everyone in the classroom got up and left the classroom with their textbooks in their arms.
Wen Jianning sat at the back of the classroom, and should be the last group of students to leave the classroom. She saw that the classmates in the classroom were almost gone, and walked up to the podium and took the initiative to ask: "I'm going to run in a while, why don't I help you carry the box." β
The old professor glanced at her and smiled: "Although I am old, I don't have the reason to ask female classmates to help carry the suitcase." β
Wen Jianning couldn't help but say that he stepped forward and picked up the box: "Do you need me to help you again?"
The old professor shook his head helplessly, and went out of the door first, followed by Wen Jianning, and walked out of the classroom last.
As soon as he went out, Feng Yi was waiting at the door, and at a glance he saw Wen Jianning who was carrying a suitcase and following behind the old professor. He was stunned at first, and then said helplessly: "I'll come." β
Wen Jianning didn't refuse, handed him the box, and helped the old professor to leave quickly.
Fortunately, the three of them didn't go far, and several senior male classmates came running up, claiming to be the old professor's closed disciples. They knew that the instructor was old, and his legs and feet were not as good as those of young people, so when they heard the air raid siren, they hurriedly ran to carry the man.
Seeing the male classmates carrying the old professor on their backs and carrying the boxes away, Wen Jianning was relieved. Looking at the fact that there were not many people running the alarm around, he suggested to Feng Yi: "Let's run faster, shall we?"
Feng Yi didn't hesitate and ran with her.
Along the way, they also ran into other students and civilians who ran the alarm. Most of the people had no direction, but just ran around, and the people couldn't run too far with their families and mouths, so they hid closer; and the students, who were in good physical strength, ran all the way to the mountains on the outskirts, and hid in whatever ravine they ran. Feng Yi used to do the same, just find a safe place to sit and read a book until the air raid siren was lifted, and then slowly walked back alone.
But Wen Jianning had a great sense of direction, leading him all the way in front until the two of them got into a pine forest.
There is a small clearing in the depths of the forest, where many people have run to take refuge, and some street vendors have set up stalls here, selling flatbread, rice noodles, and bait.
Wen Jianning walked to the bench of one of the stalls and sat down.
The girl who was already sitting opposite with thin eyebrows and fine eyes was reading a book, and when she noticed that someone was coming, she looked up and saw that it was her, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect you to be the first to run over today." β
The girl who spoke was Ruan Wenyun, and Wen Jianning looked around: "Why haven't Feng Xin and Zhong Hui come yet?"
Ruan Wenyun said: "They should be almost there, maybe it's not convenient to run with a bookcase." β
Feng Yi saw that they should be in a dormitory, and it was estimated that they had already made an appointment to meet here together.
He didn't plan to come forward to disturb them, and was about to find a place to sit on his own, waiting for the air raid to end, but Wen Jianning hurriedly stopped him: "Feng Yi, you come and sit too, I'll introduce you to my friends." β
He was stunned for a moment, but walked over slowly.
