Chapter 9: Into the City

The city is very different from the countryside: the asphalt roads, the orderly street lamps, and the bright and reassuring even at night. If there were so many street lamps installed in the village, maybe there would be fewer wild beasts, and fewer chickens in the village.

After three days of bus rides, we arrived at our destination, and I was amazed by the high-rise buildings along the way. But this was far less than the level of surprise I was when I entered Shen Baifeng's house. I was overwhelmed by high-tech gadgets.

This is also the first Spring Festival I have not spent with my family, I am not idle, even in the city, every household has to post Spring Festival couplets, and it is precisely because of this that I found that Shen Baifeng writes well.

"Self-cultivation is like holding jade, and accumulating virtue is better than gold. "If you are really a cultivator, you don't follow the public when you write a Spring Festival couplet.

Looking at my thirsty appearance, Shen Baifeng gave me a difficult task - literacy and hyphenation. The purpose is to lay a foundation for going to school so that people don't laugh at it. Although this year has been a little harder, it is also the most lively year I have lived, and after the end of the year, the more exciting days for me are coming - going to school.

When the school started, Shen Baifeng sent me there, because I had no primary school learning experience, so I could only be a transfer observer.

I was really unaccustomed to it at first, but fortunately, the textbook knowledge was not difficult, and Shen Baifeng also taught me some basics, so although it was difficult to learn, it was not impossible to keep up. While studying hard, what caught my attention was a girl.

Her name is Zhou Ai, and she is a very eccentric girl. I've never seen her play with anyone, and she's just lying on her desk at the end of class, but she's always the first to leave the classroom when school is over.

I've heard something about her, her mother died early, she lived with her alcoholic father, her temperament was notoriously wild, and no one in the whole class dared to provoke her, especially last semester, because her classmates bumped into her, she actually stuffed sand into other people's mouths, and the other party's parents came to make trouble, lost some money, and was beaten by her father in front of the whole school.

I mentioned her to Shen Baifeng, and he told me to keep my distance from Zhou Ai because he was afraid that I would be contaminated with cause and effect.

To be honest, although I feel that Zhou Ai is acting a little domineering, his life experience is indeed pitiful. But I still have to listen to Shen Baifeng's words, after all, he is not an ordinary person.

The days went by as usual, and slowly a year passed, I didn't approach her, just observed her from a distance, and occasionally made eye contact with her, but we both looked away tacitly, and the balance was broken by the teacher.

In the new school year, I was studying on my own because of the holidays, so I was very efficient in school, and I was already in the top three in my class in just one month. One day, the study committee member was sick and absent from class, and the head teacher asked me to collect the homework on my behalf, and everyone consciously took out the textbook, but she was the only one.

Before I could get to her, she sat up.

"I don't have to hand in my homework, you can be careful when you walk later, beware of falling to your death. ”

After she said this, she fell down again. My right eyelid twitched, and I kept thinking, "No, I just asked for her homework book!"

I was angry along the way, I didn't have any intersections, but now I say this kind of thing as soon as I open my mouth, no wonder no one plays with her alone, she deserves it!

A female classmate passed by me and comforted me and said, "She's usually like that, don't pay attention to her, I'll help you get some?" I politely declined her, and walked downstairs to the office with a bunch of exercise books on my own.

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise in the hallway, and when the students gathered around, I was the only one who got up from the floor with my head on my head, which also disturbed the teachers in the office.

"What's wrong!?What's wrong!?" Seeing a pile of homework books scattered on the ground and me in an embarrassed state, the head teacher blew up at once, "Little ancestor! This is not a holy decree, what are you doing so fast! It's all bleeding! Go to the hospital and see!"

"It's okay, I scratched a little skin, I just bumped it. I pointed to a small blood stain on the workbook, and when a student saw that one side of the workbook was propped up, he turned it over, and the people around him immediately gasped.

Just below those few jobs, a few centimeters apart, is a small section of steel bars exposed due to improper construction.

"You kid is really big, I'll call your brother, you go and bandage it, and check if it's broken by the way. ”

As soon as Shen Baifeng heard that I had fallen, that posture was simply my own brother, and he drove to the school gate in a few minutes. Shen Baifeng asked me where I fell, and when I turned around to show him the floor, Zhou Ai stood on the balcony upstairs and looked at me and laughed.

I shuddered, and quickly withdrew my hand to urge Shen Baifeng to get into the car.

Shen Baifeng was silent for a long time, and I was afraid for a while, I seemed to have hit something with my leg just now, but there were not many people around me, and there were no obstacles there, it stands to reason that even if it falls, it should be stepped on in the air, is it Zhou Ai?

The thought of her expression made my hairs stand on end.

"That girl is the Zhou Ai you said?" Shen Baifeng asked as he looked at me in the rearview mirror, his tone very heavy. It turned out that Shen Baifeng also saw it. I nodded and said, "Is she a ghost?"

He shook his head, and I asked, "So she's possessed?"

Shen Baifeng still shook his head and said, "It's too far away, I don't feel it, but this girl must not be simple." Is there anything wrong with the two of you?"

I said no, and told him everything that had happened in the morning. Shen Baifeng's face softened a little, but she still couldn't understand why she would say this to me.

"Investigate her?"

Shen Baifeng shook his head directly, saying that it would be good to invite her to come to the house for a light meal. I immediately refused, but I couldn't stop the situation from developing.

The next day, I went to school with a band-aid on my head, and the head teacher was relieved when he saw it. What I didn't expect was that the school actually spread the absurd saying that I was God's "godson".

Just kidding, God's godson is mixed up with this?

Before the last class, I asked Zhou Ai stubbornly: "My brother invites you to our house for lunch, if it's inconvenient, forget it......" Zhou Ai opened his eyes and glanced at me, his head tilted, and he fell asleep again.

I was a little annoyed with her temper, but I was glad she didn't agree, God, I don't want to eat with this woman!

I didn't listen to the last class at all, thinking about how to explain to Shen Baifeng for a while, and the excitement after realizing my wish made me even hear the bell after class. I came back to my senses when I knew someone tapped me on the shoulder.

"Aren't you eating? "I fell into an ice cellar in an instant, and the person who took me was Zhou Ai! Didn't she not agree!?" ”

This minx......

Along the way, I stood on the bus in despair, the bus waited for the red light to brake before I came back to my senses, and when I looked up, I saw Zhou Ai looking out of the car window, I have to say, she is really a very delicate girl.

I saw her laugh wickedly, and a bad premonition came over me, and I followed her line of sight to see a man in a suit waiting for something on the side of the road.

"It's coming. Zhou Ai muttered in a low voice. Is she trying to kill people? Is she really a monster?

I grabbed her in a hurry and shouted, "Don't!"

The crowd on the bus was noisy, but it wasn't because of me. People were shouting for something, and we were almost squeezed through the glass windows. So, I saw with my own eyes that the man in the suit and leather shoes was hit and flew out by a runaway car, and the front of the car was covered in blood, which was very terrifying.

I stared at Zhou Ai in disbelief, but the latter asked me with a smile.

"Are you a fool?"
