Zhong Ling also heard about it at home, and when Zhong Xiu came back in the afternoon, Zhong Ling couldn't wait to ask at the dinner table.

"Xiu, Mr. Geng's girlfriend, is that what they say?" Zhong Ling asked again.

Zhong Xiu took a deep breath, couldn't pull out a smile, pursed his lips and said, "Isn't it, won't you know when you go to the village committee tomorrow?" As soon as the words came out, Zhong Xiu also found that his tone was not very good, glanced at Huang Jiujiu and Zhong Ling, who were confused, put down the chopsticks, got up and said, "I'm a little uncomfortable, I don't want to eat, you can eat." With that, the man walked into the inner room and closed the door with his backhand.

Huang Jiujiu was still confused, but Zhong Ling showed a sudden expression. Huang Jiujiu immediately asked Zhong Ling in a low voice: "Mom, what's wrong with my aunt?"

"Eat, finish eating and doing homework, don't worry about adult affairs. Zhong Ling didn't plan to explain to Huang Jiujiu, so he urged twice, and he ate first.

Huang Jiujiu pouted dissatisfiedly. She thinks that her aunt doesn't like Teacher Geng's girlfriend, so she doesn't want to hear her mother mention it. A woman that my aunt doesn't like must be bad!

As soon as Zhong Ling cleaned up the table, he knocked on Zhong Xiu's door with a plate of watermelon. After knocking twice on the inside, no one answered, Zhong Ling directly opened the door with the key inserted in the lock, cautiously poked his head in, and bumped into Zhong Xiu sitting at the table, looking at the watch on his wrist in a daze, and fiddling with the watch chain twice from time to time. Zhong Ling knew that the watch was a birthday gift from Geng Hao to Zhong Xiu, and his heart immediately felt like a mirror, with an unexpected smile on his face.

"Xiuxiu. ”

When Zhong Xiu heard Zhong Ling's voice, he immediately turned his attention away from his watch, and turned his head to look at Zhong Ling in a panic: "Eldest sister, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just to bring you some fruit. Zhong Ling entered the door with a smile, saw a pile of five-pointed stars with broken hoses on her table, found an open space, put down the fruit bowl, and asked knowingly, "Xiu, what's wrong with you today? Are you uncomfortable? Do you want to go to the infirmary?"

Zhong Xiu's eyes were a little fluttering, and he said perfunctorily: "I'm fine, it's just that the village committee has a lot of things to do in the past two days, and I'm more tired." I'll just get some sleep. ”

"Are you okay?" Zhong Ling didn't believe it, sat directly on the edge of the bed, and looked at Zhong Xiu with a meaningful face, "At the beginning, the eldest sister told you that Teacher Geng was a good guy, and you told me that people had girlfriends, so let me not talk nonsense." What's the matter? Now that I've taken a fancy to it, I'm not happy to see that someone's girlfriend is here, and she's so good-looking?"

These words suddenly poked Zhong Xiu's heart, Zhong Xiu turned his head and wanted to refute, but he felt that this was too deliberate, so he stubbornly picked up a hose and began to fold the stars, his heart fluctuated, and his face was not shocked: "Where are you not happy?" I am worried about the primary school in our village. Mr. Geng's girlfriend looks like a big city, and people came to the village to take Mr. Geng back to the city. Our village has worked so hard to keep Teacher Geng until now, what if he is taken away by his girlfriend?"

"Really?" Zhong Linghu wondered.

"Of course it's true. Zhong Xiu raised his eyes slightly, and he could see his expression through the mirror on the table, frowning and crying, without any vitality, he immediately took a deep breath, regained his strength, and said seriously, "Mocun Primary School is now Principal Huang and Teacher Geng, Secretary Zhang said that he has already applied with the county to assign a few teachers to come, but the county and the town just want us to close the village school and let our village children go to school in the town, and they don't want to help recruit teachers for us." As soon as Teacher Geng left, only Principal Huang remained, and even if Secretary Zhang wanted to stay, the school would not be opened. After all, Principal Huang is that old. ”

Zhong Ling listened to what Zhong Xiu said, frowned, and began to doubt himself. Could it be that she really guessed Zhong Xiu's mind wrong? But how can she say it, she also brought Zhong Xiu to adulthood since she was a child, how could she be wrong?

And Zhong Xiu has a problem, as soon as someone likes it, he starts stacking stars, and then packs a box to give away, but every time he doesn't have time to send it, there are three or four boxes in the cabinet. This was all found by Zhong Lingyou when he was cleaning up the house, and the boxes were filled with notes, on which were written a confessional sentence, and the beginning was the name of the person.

Over the years, which boys Zhong Xiu has had a crush on, Zhong Ling is all clear. One of the boxes was to be given to Li Jinde, so Zhong Xiu would mention Li Jinde to Zhong Xiu back then, who knew that Li Jinde was going to marry a daughter-in-law. Thinking so, Zhong Ling glanced at Zhong Xiu who was folding stars again, there were a lot of stars in her box this time.

However, Zhong Xiu didn't want to say that she couldn't help it. Besides, if Zhong Xiu really likes people, then other people's girlfriends have come to the door, and Zhong Ling can't just go to beat the mandarin ducks. I only hope that Zhong Xiu will survive by himself. Didn't she get through the previous boxes? Now that she sees Li Jinde, isn't it just like looking at ordinary friends?

Thinking of this, Zhong Ling slapped his thigh, and Huo Di stood up: "What you said makes sense." But if Mr. Geng really wants to go with his girlfriend, we can't help it. If the primary school has to be closed, we can't do anything about it. I still think about whether to pick up Huang Jiujiu every day in the future, or send her to the dormitory. ”

"Of course, it's a daily pick-up, and it's not difficult for my brother-in-law to have a car. The school dormitory in the town is not suitable for Jiujiu to live in, and it is safe to live at home. Zhong Xiu remembered the bad memories of staying in the town in order to go to school.

"Well, that's fine. Zhong Ling nodded, opened the door and went out.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Zhong Xiu suddenly took a deep breath like a deflated doll, and the whole person fell down in a languid. Picking up the gift box on the table in his arms, fiddling with the stars inside, he began to lose his mind again. The mirror refracted the light, exuding a cold glow, reflecting Zhong Xiu's figure, and the person in the mirror murmured weakly.

"Do you like it, don't like it, like it......?"

……

Geng Hao told Principal Huang that he wanted to stay for a few nights, and Principal Huang immediately agreed and packed up the only guest room for him to live in. Principal Huang asked Geng Hao to live with him before, but Geng Hao felt that it was already very bad to eat at Principal Huang's house, and if he moved here again, it would make him even more embarrassed, so he refused.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Geng Hao's mobile phone suddenly rang. Geng Hao was woken up and looked at the phone screen in a daze, which showed two big words - "Yang Ling". Geng Hao frowned, frowned, rubbed his forehead with a little headache, sat up slowly, and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Before he could speak, there was a choked voice. Although Geng Hao didn't want to answer Yang Ling's phone call much, he immediately panicked when he heard her voice, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Geng Hao, why is there no one here at night?" Yang Ling began to cry.

"No one?" Geng Hao thought, isn't it? On the slope of the village committee, with a mountain behind and a school next to it, there is a family that is not there all year round. In fact, there is no need to wait for the evening, when the people of the village committee have left work, there will be no one above. When Geng Hao usually lives alone, he sometimes feels a little lonely and quiet, so he slowly starts to move closer to the work and rest in the village. I went to bed around half past nine, and when I slept, I didn't know anything.

"It's dark up here, there are no street lights, everyone in the village is sleeping, it's dark everywhere......" Yang Ling's voice shook more and more, and finally cried directly, "Can you come and accompany me?" I don't dare to go to the toilet now. ”

Geng Hao had stayed in that place by himself, and believed that a girl living alone would definitely be afraid, so he immediately got out of bed: "Okay, I'll come over immediately." If you're afraid, turn the lights on. ”

"Uh-huh, hurry up. After Yang Ling finished speaking, he urged Geng Hao when he was about to hang up the phone, "Don't hang up the phone, let me listen to someone's voice." ”

"Okay, I don't hang. ”

Geng Hao said and began to put on clothes. Within four or five minutes, I ran to the front of the village committee, with the lights on. Looking around, it was indeed dark and swarthy, not giving people the slightest sense of popularity, and the whole village was silent. You can still vaguely hear wild cats and wild dogs barking, and ducks and geese barking. For the bold, this tranquility is enjoyment. For the faint of heart, this situation is the prelude to a horror film.

Geng Hao felt compassionate, sighed, and arrived at the door in a few clicks and knocked on the door. As soon as the door opened, Yang Ling pounced out in his pajamas, hugged Geng Hao with a handful of snot and tears, and said while crying: "I was scared to death just now, I also heard the cry of a wild cat, and it scared me to death for a while......"

"You also said it was a night cat, it's fine. Geng Hao still couldn't bear it, and patted her on the shoulder to comfort, "You don't want to go to the toilet?"

Yang Ling muttered in a nasal voice, wiped his tears and let go of Geng Hao, and the makeup on his face was smeared. Seeing this, Geng Hao guessed that she might be so frightened that she didn't even dare to go to the pool, but it was not ruled out that she was not used to this kind of open-air simple pool.

"There was a flashlight on the table. Geng Hao reminded, seeing that she looked at herself with a confused face, like a small animal that had not recovered after being frightened, Geng Hao could only go in and turn over the flashlight.

As soon as I entered, I found that the house had been cleaned up and down, and everything had been wiped clean. He usually just keeps the house tidy, but rarely wipes it, and the dust in this village is relatively large, so it is normal to store ash in some places. It seems that Yang Ling has cleaned it.

"Let's go. ”

Geng Hao saw it in his eyes, and he didn't know what to say, so he just treated it as if he didn't see it. Turn on the flashlight, hit the head and go out the door. Yang Ling hurriedly followed, hugged Geng Hao's arm, and looked around cautiously, for fear that something would burst out of the darkness and pounce on her.

Yang Ling is usually quite bold, but he can't bear the atmosphere of the Mocun Village Committee, which makes people panic when they live alone, and it looks like there is a dangerous incident happening everywhere. I have watched supernatural horror movies before, and the scenes of abduction and trafficking of women in the mountains that I have heard of go straight to my head, and I have consciously replaced the protagonist with herself. Sometimes the horror of the imagination is the most terrifying.
