"Xiaoxi, you seem to be in good spirits when you wake up so early. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The uncle who was eating breakfast greeted me, and he and my father seemed to talk until late last night, and they drank again, and both my father and uncle had dark circles in their eyes.

"Uncle early." I smiled softly and greeted my uncle.

"Xiaoxi, you can take your uncle's car directly to school in a while." My father, who was wearing his tie, looked at me and said.

"I think it's better for me to take the bus by myself, although it is very convenient to take the uncle's car, but let my classmates see that they will have thoughts about me......"

I immediately rejected my father's proposal, although I never vetoed my father's decision, but I didn't think it was appropriate, especially on such a morning in a new city, I was going to report to a new school, even my memory was very fresh, like a computer with empty memory ready to accept all the unknown, I didn't want to be seen as a child who relied on the power of adults to come to school in the first place.

Every time during the period of memory retrieval, I am like a newborn baby, all my senses are opening sensitive tentacles to everything in front of me, and those tentacles pick up countless small fragments and slowly piece together as complete as possible memory figures for me.

"Xiaoxi is quite sensible, but is it really okay to go to school alone?" Uncle seems to be a little uneasy.

"It's okay, it's okay." I replied confidently.

I looked at their two pairs of eyes full of burning care, and gave an affirmative answer, they did everything for me, and I should rely on myself for the rest.

"By the way, uncle, is there any ...... in the school?"

"What?"

"That's... Activities like semester trips? "Actually, I want to ask if there is any strange talk about this kind of thing, because last night's phone call made me suddenly have this idea, but I still held back, I think it's better not to ask Uncle about this kind of thing, otherwise he and my father may start to worry about my mental problems.

"Oh, the travel project was stopped, and this activity was stopped due to an accident while traveling a few years ago."

"What accident?"

"There are students who fall down the valley, and there is a car accident on the way back, alas, these are all heart-wrenching things, not to say it, but to say that it is unlucky in the morning." Uncle choked the topic, but a strange look flashed in his eyes, as if something was trending, and he continued.

"Having said that, at that time, those students were rumoring about what to reply to, saying that receiving a letter from an unknown source would lead to bad luck, in short, Xiaoxi, don't believe too much no matter what you hear after you arrive at school, it is inevitable that there will be rumors among the students, you children like to spread strange things and the like, always put many things on the color of ghosts and gods, although I am not the closest homeroom teacher to you, but I know everything you say and do, and those words can be passed on in moderation, Just don't mess with them. ”

I took all the uncle's teachings into my ears, nodded and said "um", but I was a little nervous, after all, after receiving the call last night, I wrote a reply, I should have understood the situation before deciding whether I wanted to respond, but I seemed to be unconsciously involved," ...... To indicate that it is a reply to the lily of the valley puppet, after writing it and bringing it to school tomorrow, you will think it is very strange, right, this is no way, you must write, otherwise something bad will happen......" The classmate named Shui Jing said this on the phone at the time, as if the words were contaminated with inescapable magic, I still remember that I felt cold after replying to the letter last night, and there was a different temperature than usual at that moment.

"Xiaoxi, hurry up and have breakfast, and go to school after eating."

My father's voice woke me up in a daze, I looked at the time, it was only a few minutes before I expected to go out, I was frightened, and quickly stuffed breakfast into my mouth, in fact, it was two slices of bread sandwiched between a father's fried meatloaf.

"I'm out of the house." I got up and grabbed my bag, said goodbye to my uncle and father, closed the door gently, and heard them say "Is this child still in good condition?" "It's not good, the doctor said that if it goes on like this, it may be ...... for a long time" I can't hear the latter words clearly.

The morning air was mixed with the smell of earth, the sky was like a pale blue jelly, the clouds floated on it like ripped marshmallows, and the touch of pulling out silk was transmitted to my brain through vision, and I opened my bag and forcibly checked that the blue velvet notebook was not in it, and the reply.

Suddenly, a car "swished" past me, like a mad beast, and I could smell the heavy exhaust and a hint of uneasiness left behind by its escape.

The homeroom teacher of Class D in the first year of high school is a male teacher named Ikezawa, with a pair of old-fashioned and regular black-framed glasses under his clean and sparse hair, a square face, and a clear outline of his mouth, giving people the feeling of an old-time literati.

"I already know the relationship between you and Principal Liuli, but no matter what, you are also a student, you come here to study, and there are some children of high-ranking officials in the school, but everyone is not here to compare the relationship, so please also pay attention to the distance between you and Principal Liuli, do you understand this?" Mr. Ikesawa sat in his office, took a sip of tea as he spoke, and then stopped his gaze on my face.

"yes, I see."

The first time I saw him, but at the moment he had already put this person into the category that I didn't like, I didn't think about what he said before coming to school, uncle is uncle, I am me, he is the principal, I am just a student, I didn't think about anything to be involved at all, this kind of admonition with colored glasses makes me especially disgusted.

"Okay, you go to the classroom, get to know each other with your classmates, get along with everyone, and come here to find me if you have anything."

He waved his hand at me without looking, and I still bowed politely to him, "Yes." ”

The bell had already rang, and I trotted into the classroom, and as soon as I entered the door, I bumped into a man who was twice as wide as I was, and I fell to the ground without standing firm under the onslaught.

"Ahh I'm sorry, I'm sorry, that... Are you Ruriki-san? ”

I covered my right arm that was hit and looked up to look at the owner of the voice, a big pie face smashed at me, I opened my mouth and the silent reaction overwhelmed the other party, she hurriedly helped me up and put her very sensual arm around me.

"Are you alright? I'm just worried why you haven't come in yet, so I've been waiting for you, I'm really sorry, you're not hurt, right? ”

Before I could answer, she had already assumed who I was, and it seemed that I was the only one left in the classroom.

"It's fine." I finally spoke, not too loudly.

"You've written the reply, right? Take it out and cast it here. ”

I guess this girl should be Shui Jing, who called me last night, she pointed to a "mailbox" standing by the classroom door, she waited for me with a pair of anxious eyes, as if to make some kind of necessary determination to me, as if to say "quick, hurry in, or you will die." That feeling, I took out the reply letter written according to the requirements from the school bag, and was about to stuff it in, I was stunned, this so-called "mailbox" is actually a wooden box one meter high and half a meter wide, with a hole on the top, and I can't see anything in the black inside, what makes me care is that it is unevenly covered with marks, especially around the opening, very deep marks, like scratches.

"Soon, it's time for class."

"Oh."

I threw the reply letter in, and from the black opening, the inside of the mailbox seemed to open to another world, unfathomable.

The class bell rang, and at the same time, everyone in the classroom looked at me, and the unanimous gaze made me feel a sense of oppression, and just when I was about to die, a teacher came in from outside the door, a woman with wavy curly hair, looking like a lotus flower in a lotus pond at night, very beautiful.

She walked to the podium with a light walk in her professional suit.

"Today we have new classmates here, let's get to know each other." The female teacher waved at me from the podium and motioned for me to come over.

"She is an English teacher, her name is Yong Shengxiang." I thought it was the girl who whispered in my ear, and then she twisted her fat body and ran back to her seat, leaving me alone in the corner of the back door.

Teacher Yong Shengxiang beckoned to me again, "Come on, introduce yourself." Her bouncy lips opened a graceful arc, her lips were white, and her smile was like a white lotus petal, so soft that she was unguarded and irresistible.

I walked up the aisle in the middle of my seat, nervous, I wasn't good at dealing with this kind of situation, and for me, who had fragile nerves and blood vessels, it would make me panic if all eyes were on me.

"Hello everyone... I'm Ruriki. ”

I could hear my voice change tone, at least not as comfortable as talking to my father at home, and I felt my cheeks burn so badly that I was already blushing to the point of being a monkey's butt in the eyes of others.

"Okay, Ruri-ki-san, what do you want to say to everyone? Tell us a little bit about yourself and let people know about you. Teacher Yong Shengxiang said indomitablely, she didn't notice that my fists were already clenched very tightly, and the whole person was like a hard piece of wood.

"......" (I took two deep breaths.) ）

"I... In fact... I'm not quite good at saying..."

"Okay, Liulixi's introduction is here first, from today onwards, everyone should take care of her more, help each other, let's start class."

Teacher Yong Shengxiang tapped me on the shoulder and motioned for me to return to my seat, although I was relieved, but embarrassed by my clumsy performance, I carefully walked towards the direction of the seat that marked me, in the penultimate row by the window, only the seat was empty, during the silent many, my eyes swept to a pair of strange eyes, when I tried to focus with those eyes, I found that I could not find where it was, just like the aperture that appeared in the evening sunset, only in the range of the afterglow of the eyes, As soon as you turn your head, it dissipates in an instant.

As I looked around, I saw the "mailbox" again, ugly and scratched, like an inanimate shell, standing there silently, standing in that corner, quietly, from that opening, a pair of eyes from the dark abyss, peering at everyone in the classroom.

Who exactly is the reply in the mailbox addressed to?

"--Lily of the Valley puppet."

It was as if a voice was whispering to me.
