Story 64: The Gift of Twenty Years Ago (1)
At midnight, the lightning and thunder outside, seeing that the rain was coming, the children of the Friendship Welfare Home went to bed early at this time, and suddenly, a small figure walked in the dark corridor, his eyes seemed to have adapted to the darkness, but he was not used to the light of lightning.
In the silent corridor, a strange moan was heard, and the lonely little figure looked for the sound, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he was immediately speechless, only to see a girl about ten years old curled up under a middle-aged man, bearing what was not supposed to belong to her age......
"Sister......
The girl opened her eyes violently, "No...... Don't look at ......"
A lightning bolt swept outside, illuminating all the darkness in the room, and he recognized the middle-aged man who was pressing on his sister, but now his face was no longer the usual loving smile, and it became extremely hideous and terrifying.
The Yucai Primary School in the county has been overturned, so all the teachers and students have to move to the building temporarily lent to them by the Education Commission to attend classes.
This building looks very old from the outside, but the tables and chairs inside are still very new, probably because they haven't been used for many years, so the dust here is really too thick! It is said that it was formerly an orphanage.
The government renovated the building with the intention of setting up a primary school for left-behind children, but for some reason the proposal was cancelled and the building has been unused ever since.
Liu Xueyan's class is on the third floor, and when she came in, she found that the desks, chairs and benches were all new, but the longer she stayed, the more she could smell a smell of decay and mildew.
She also went to look at other classes, but found that only the classroom in their class smelled like this, so she mobilized the whole class to look in the classroom to see if there were dead rats anywhere.
As a result, they searched every corner of the classroom together, only to find that it was all clean and there was nothing.
So through the joint efforts of all teachers and students, Yucai Primary School finally resumed classes on the second day of moving in.
Because Liu Xueyan has just been transferred to this class as the head teacher, she still doesn't know much about the situation of the class, so she wants to take a roll call in the first class she gives to the students, and wants to get to know everyone.
As a result, when she took the roll call, she found that her roll call list seemed to be a little problematic, it turned out that there were 45 students on the roll call list in her hand, which was singular, but she looked at it at a glance, and the students below were two people at a table, not a single person, which was obviously an even number!
So Liu Xueyan called one name after another, and only after he had read all 45 students did he say to the students below, "Are there any classmates whose names have not been read?" ”
As a result, the students below all looked at each other, and then the class leader took the initiative to stand up and say, "Teacher Liu, there are a total of 45 students in our class, and they should all have read it!" ”
Liu Xueyan was also stunned, but there were obviously 46 students sitting under the podium, how could it be 45? If it's not one student missing from the roll call, it's definitely one more student below!
"I'll roll call again, everyone heard clearly this time, if there are students who haven't read their names, please stand up!" Liu Xueyan had to order it again, and the result was still the same.
In the end, Liu Xueyan had no choice but to call the squad leader up, and then let me see how many students there were below, and the squad leader nodded the number of people and said, 45, just right!
Liu Xueyan was completely stunned at this time, and in the end she had to have the stupidest method, "Class leader, which of the following classmates does not have the same table?" She thought that if she asked like this, the class president would definitely say that there are all the same table, so the question is, if all the students below have the same table, doesn't that mean that the number of students should be an even number and not an odd number on the roll call?
Who knew that the squad leader didn't look at it and said that Zhao Xiaojun was sitting alone in the last row on the left, and he didn't have the same table!
Liu Xueyan was shocked when she heard this, because from the beginning when she walked into this class, she saw a female classmate sitting next to Zhao Xiaojun, she kept her head down, and Liu Xueyan couldn't see her face at all.
Now the squad leader said that Zhao Xiaojun was not at the same table, so who did he see? After all, Liu Xueyan has just graduated, and she can't tell if it's a prank by her classmates for a while, but it's a bit too much for the whole class to work together as a teacher!
So Liu Xueyan had no choice but to say quietly, "Okay, you go down first, let's start class now." ”
As a result, in this class, Liu Xueyan kept staring at the female table next to Zhao Xiaojun, but she found that this student had never raised his head...... A strange feeling rose from the bottom of my heart.
Liu Xueyan didn't know how she finished the whole class, because every time she looked up at the classmates below, she would unconsciously glance at the strange female classmates in the last row, which made it difficult for her to concentrate on the lecture.
Suddenly, just when she saw that the time was almost up and was about to say that class was over, she saw that the strange female student was gone, and there was only an empty chair left next to Zhao Jun! Liu Xueyan was stunned for a long time, and then made up her mind and the students, "Okay, that's all for this class, let's get out of class!" ”
Liu Xueyan was still shocked when she returned to the office, what was the situation? She has always felt that she is a materialist and has never believed in ghosts and gods, but what happened in class today made her worldview shaken, and she really felt fear in her heart, from the deepest part of her heart.
Because Liu Xueyan is also newly transferred here, and there are no colleagues who are too familiar with her, it is naturally difficult to tell others about this, so she can only pray silently in her heart that she will not see that student again in the next class.
Because the move was too hasty, there are no desks in the teacher's office now, but the principal said that there are many original desks in the warehouse here, although they are old, but it is better than nothing, after all, this is only a temporary transition, and it will be easy to move back to the new school building, and there is no need to move these large desks around.
So in the afternoon, the teachers of the 4th grade group went to the warehouse to choose their own desks, to be honest, there are not many of these desks in good condition, but they can still be used after repair, and many of them have traces of overfire, which also proves the rumors of a fire here.
