Chapter 3 Assignments
The weather was fine on Tuesday, December 16, 2015
On this day, Shanghai is still so busy, especially at this moment, there are still 9 days before Christmas, and all merchants have erected Christmas trees and hung up Santa Claus. Couples are ready for a romantic date, and single people are planning to get together for a happy meal, and then go shopping in the mall. Whether you are a couple or a single person, you are happy to make your own plans. Let this Christmas spirit become more and more intense.
Beihua College is no exception, and the school has posted about the Christmas ball. The tradition of Beihua College is to hold a theatrical performance before the dance begins, inviting celebrities from all walks of life to watch and participate in the subsequent ball. Every class is required to participate, and if the program is outstanding and becomes the most popular program of the day, then that class can enjoy the right to freely travel to each department for one month. This is extremely tempting for students in the lower divisions, who have always wanted to see what the senior divisions are like, and this is the only opportunity. Therefore, the elementary and middle schools in the lower grades are particularly active, while the upper grades are lacking in interest.
"This time, we must get the reward for the third year class of our junior high school!" Qin Xin, who was responsible for the squad leader on the podium, knocked on the table and said imperatively.
"But squad leader, we haven't decided what program we want to put out yet? How can you fight? "The boy with the PSP in the audience unceremoniously exposed Qin Xin's old bottom, and there are still nine days to perform, but the show has not been decided yet, look at the second class next door, they have already started practicing, this is the rhythm of losing.
"That's it, squad leader, you can't embarrass us like this." The other students echoed the boy's words. They also want to win, but time is pressing, and there is absolutely no Superman among them, and there are no superhuman offspring.
"Aren't you guys a little bit good, aren't there still nine days? No show, huh! Do you think that the squad leaders all eat dry rice! Qin Xin returned to his seat amid the discussion of his classmates, took out a notebook from his schoolbag, walked up to the podium again, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the classmates below, "Sue you, sister is ready." All you have to do is do what I gave you! β
The classmates in the audience, you look at me, I look at you, they are all surprised, "What show are you on?" β
"Drama!" Qin Xin threw the notebook in his hand down on the podium with a 'snap', and said proudly.
The classroom was suddenly silent, and the male classmate who had taken out Qin Xin's old bottom put down the PSP in his hand, walked to the podium, picked up the notebook and flipped through it, "Love in the Qing Palace?" Through time? Fall in love with Brother Qing Palace? Qin Xin, you've read too many novels, your head is funny! You dare to play this kind of thing! β
The male classmate's words instantly ignited the classroom, "WOW, love through time and space, class leader, are you Sichun?" Or have you been poisoned by the crossing? "Class leader, I tell you, this novel is a novel, don't learn what people are jumping off a cliff, a car accident or something to try to cross." If you can't wear it, you'll be miserable! A male classmate who was turning his textbook said with a joke.
"Squad leader, don't think about it, you have a house and a car captain and you're beautiful, wear it back, you have to start from the grassroots level, become a maid of a big family or something, just your temperament, how do you say you want to live!" A lively girl on the right said with an expression that could not be carved from rotten wood.
"Also, also, how good this is in modern times, computers, televisions, mobile phones, PSPs, there was nothing in ancient times. I heard that poor families don't even have toilet paper, you ......" A boy with glasses saw Qin Xin's darkening face on the podium, and his words gradually became smaller, and he didn't even dare to say anything more.
"You guys! Looking for death!! Qin Xin's voice almost ran through the entire floor, and the people in the other classes stuck out their heads to see what was going on.
The boy standing next to Qin Xin on the podium was even more covering his ears and squatting on the ground wailing, this lethality was too great. Even Eleven, who had been sleeping, instantly stood up from his seat, and then looked at his classmates in the classroom in confusion.
"What's going on?" Eleven, who had just woken up, had a somewhat lazy voice, wet eyes, and long black hair, which looked particularly cute.
It is worthy of being the mysterious school flower of the junior high school of Beihua College!
When everyone saw such an eleven, they couldn't help but praise in their hearts.
"Liu Weiling, hurry up and persuade your good friend Qin Xin! She actually wants to play a love that travels through time and space during the art show! The boy who was squatting on the ground, rubbing his ears, asked Eleven for help, hoping that Qin Xin's friend could stop her whimsical performance idea.
"That's called "Love in the Qing Palace"! It's not "Love Through Time"! Qin Xin corrected very dissatisfied. Eleven, come and see, I decided to perform the drama in our class, I have written the script, you see, if there is a favorite role, I will keep it for you. Qin Xin saw Eleven wake up, picked up the script and stuffed it into Eleven's hand, she was particularly optimistic that Eleven would play the heroine, this photo, this figure, she will definitely be able to pull a lot of tickets if she goes up!
Eleven snorted and said, "No, I'm not on." "After all, the Liu family is not an ordinary family, and there are only a handful of people who know about the Liu family, coupled with the special work of the Liu family, this kind of thing is still less good. This is also one of the Liu family's family rules.
"What? Why not! You see, the heroine in this script is so suitable for you! is beautiful, smart, and a talented girl, if you come to act, you will definitely be very popular. Qin Xin was a little puzzled. In fact, she really wants Eleven to go on stage to have fun, that's right! Just play! Eleven grades are good, people are beautiful, but they just don't like to appear in crowded places, and they basically sleep in the classroom at school. Lunch is brought to her by Liu Qing from the restaurant every day. Only occasionally when Liu Qing was not around, she would follow them to the restaurant to eat. This seemingly invisible life makes almost more than ninety percent of people in junior high school not know her, and some people have never even heard the word Liu Weiling. The friends are only the two sisters, plus Brother Han Leng in the high school. Qin Xin was really worried about her sometimes.
Eleven rubbed his eyes, looked at the script in his hand seriously, and said lightly, "I'm still not going to do it." I don't know how to act. β
"It doesn't matter. It's okay if you can't act. It's okay to act in your true colors! Qin Xin patted Eleven's shoulder and said with a smile.
"But, I don't want to act." Eleven didn't want to violate the family rules, so after thinking about it, he still couldn't decide.
"No! You have to act, you have to act, and you have to act if you don't! Seeing that the good words didn't work, Qin Xin immediately changed his tone and threatened, "If you don't act, I'll tell your brother about the fact that you ate too spicy for lunch last time and went to the health room to sleep all afternoon!" β
When Eleven heard this, he couldn't help frowning, that time he went to the health room not only because he ate too many chili peppers, but more because he wanted to find a place to sleep well. However, the sisters of the Qin family mistakenly thought that they had eaten too much chili peppers, and almost told their brother sΓΉ brother, but fortunately, they repeatedly promised that they just wanted to find a place to sleep, so they hid this matter. Unexpectedly, Qin Xin didn't believe what he said at that time.
Eleven touched the script in his hand in distress, thought for a while, and then looked up and said, "I can act, but I can't play Luoluo." β
"Which one do you want to play?" Qin Xin saw that Eleven was relieved, and immediately asked kindly.
Eleven casually flipped through the script, pointed to the first page of the script and said, "I'll play this." β
Qin Xin looked down and almost jumped up, "Isn't this just a tree, it still needs to be acted!" When the time comes, just put on the props, how do you want to act! β
"The props are put on me and my eyes are exposed." Eleven looked at Qin Xin and said seriously and resolutely, "If it doesn't work, then I'm still not going to go." β
Qin Xin's teeth itched, but Eleven's expression was so resolute, if she continued, she was afraid that she wouldn't even play the tree, so she had to grit her teeth and agree, "Okay, then you will play the tree!" β
"Hey, hey, hey, we haven't agreed to play a drama yet!" The boy who asked Eleven for help shouted in protest.
"I speak, who still has an opinion?" Qin Xin couldn't send his anger to Eleven, he opened his eyes and glanced at the others viciously, all the classmates who were swept by Qin Xin shook their heads again and again, saying that they had no opinion, and even the boys who protested did not dare to have any objections.
The three-year class of the junior high school of Beihua College was thus decided under Qin Xin's hegemony. "I'll distribute the tasks next......" Qin Xin took out another piece of paper from her schoolbag, it was obvious that she was ready for all the qiΔ, and there was no right for others to disagree. The students of the third class were saddened to discover this qiΔ.
The end time of the junior high school was much earlier than that of the high school, so Eleven did not go home with Zhu Chenyang. Eleven, who was sleeping in the car, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at his hands. The driver, Lao Bian, was originally a spiritual priest of the Liu family, and now that he is retired, he has become the driver of Eleven, and usually picks her up and goes to school. At this time, Lao Bian saw Eleven's unusual behavior in the rearview mirror, and immediately asked with concern, "Young master, is something wrong?" β
"Nope." Eleven heard the words of the driver Lao Bian, stared at his empty hands for a while, and then said lightly, "It's just that I forgot the script of the drama performance and brought it back." β
"Drama performance?" Lao Bian asked incredulously, "Young Master, do you want to participate?" Does Madame know about this? Also, do you want to go back and get it? β
"It was decided today. I haven't sued her yet. No need to go back. "She doesn't have any lines anyway. Eleven was more distressed at this time, whether her mother could listen to her words before deciding to agree with her to participate in the performance, which was the crux of the problem.
"Hehe, young master don't worry, just tell Madame well, Madame will definitely agree." Lao Bian thought that Eleven was worried that the head of the family would not agree to her to participate in the performance, after all, the special work of the Liu family had already decided that she could not appear in front of people in a grand manner. Even so, he still hopes that the girl in the back seat will be able to participate in these school activities. As the next heir of the Liu family, she has lost a lot, and she just hopes that she can be happier before she becomes an adult.
"Hmm." Eleven replied lightly, turning his face to look out the window.
"Young master, it's here." The car slowly drove into the villa, and after Lao Bian stopped, he got out of the cab, opened the door for Eleven and said.
"Deliver my bag straight to my room." Eleven got out of the car and walked straight to the villa, just two steps away, suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the servant behind her who was holding the schoolbag for her and asked, "Where is Gu Yao?" β
"Senior Sister Thirteen went on a mission and left this morning." The servant replied respectfully, "Also, Madame asks the young master to see her in the study in an hour." β
"What is Mother doing?" Eleven asked, puzzled.
"Playing mahjong with a few wives in the living room." This is so common in the Liu family that it doesn't even feel weird when the servant talks about it.
"I see. Call me an hour later. Eleven walked into the villa without looking back, pushed open the innermost room on the first floor, and walked in quickly.
In less than half an hour, four young women came out of the living room of the villa, and one of the beautiful young women smiled and took the hand of the other young woman and said, "I have too much luck today, don't mind." A few hundred thousand is just everyone's pocket money, isn't it? Hehehe, come and play when you have time! The other three young women even claimed yes with a smile on their faces. What hundreds of thousands! The three of them add up to more than two million, and no matter how rich they are, they can't lose like this. The three of them thanked the beautiful young woman for her retention, and left the villa without looking back.
"Ma'am." As soon as the beautiful young woman sat down, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper appeared in front of her and said respectfully.
"Well, I had good luck today and won a lot of money." Liu Xitong crossed Erlang's legs and said happily.
The butler reached out to take the tea from the servant, and he wore a ring like a black crystal on his left hand, which was particularly eye-catching against his slender fingers. The housekeeper handed the tea to Liu Xitong and said seriously, "Madam, it's not right to cheat." β
"Who said I cheated. It's just that they can't see it. You say, isn't it a baby? A little girl with pale skin suddenly appeared next to Liu Xitong, obviously with feet, but floating in the air, hearing Liu Xitong's question, she nodded with a smile.
"When is Madame going to send him back to the underworld?" The housekeeper looked at the five or six-year-old ghost in front of him and asked helplessly. This little guy fell down the stairs and died a week ago, but she didn't know that she was dead, and she kept wandering around the place where she fell until she was met by Mrs. and brought her back here, and since then, this little guy has become Mrs. Mahjong's old man. Almost invincible, who makes the people who play mahjong with her can't see the soul of ordinary people.
"I'll send him away tomorrow. I don't think anyone wants to play mahjong with me lately. The master is lonely-" Liu Xitong looked like he was in a high place, which made the housekeeper very helpless, "By the way, Eleven is back?" β
"The young master has returned and is practicing in the netherworld." The housekeeper put the little girl into a black box, handed it to the servant, and told her to put it away before answering Liu Xitong's question.
"It just so happens that some things need to be done in the Netherworld." Liu Xitong got up elegantly and walked to the innermost room on the first floor.
Open the door of the room, and the decoration inside is no different from the other rooms. Liu Xitong walked straight to the west wall, put her hand on the wall, and silver light overflowed from her hand and was absorbed by the wall. The wall that had absorbed the silver light began to produce ripples, slowly dispersing from under Liu Xitong's palm. It wasn't until there was a violent shaking that Liu Xitong took his hand away. A black door gradually appeared on the white wall. The door also had no handles or keyholes, which was very weird. Liu Xitong stepped forward, drew a few talismans in the void in his right hand, and shouted softly, "Open!" The black door opened of its own accord. Liu Xitong had just entered, and the black door slammed shut.
Inside the door was a straight passage, and on each side of the passage hung a row of copper lamps, which were also of a peculiar shape, all red dragons, spitting flames. Liu Xitong walked quickly through the passage and came to the end of the passage. At the end was still a door without handles and keyholes, but this door was taller and wider than the one outside, and the door was carved with a dragon, and the flames spit out of its mouth formed three large characters, the Netherworld. Liu Xitong walked in as concocted, inside was a huge circular room, the area was the size of two football fields, surrounded by countless shelves, each shelf was densely placed with either a peachwood sword, or a round bead, the wall was snow-white, a row of red dragon lamps surrounded a circle, the room was as bright as day, and a huge red dragon was painted on the top of the head hovering there, as if looking up to the sky and roaring. The most peculiar thing is that in the middle of the room, there is a small peach tree, and in this cold December, there is no sunlight in the basement of a brilliant peach tree. Under the peach blossom tree, a thin figure sat there motionless cross-legged, without looking at the fact that the person was Eleven. Liu Xitong took out a peachwood sword from the surrounding shelves, and walked towards Eleven silently, and a few meters away from Eleven, he suddenly attacked, and an aura instantly emitted from the sword, directly hitting Eleven's heart. Eleven closed his eyes, drew a few talismans in the void in his right hand, and shouted, "Shield! I saw a giant circular shield appear in front of Eleven, and the aura sword sent out by Liu Xitong immediately dispersed after hitting the circular shield and disappeared into the air. Seeing this, Liu Xitong sent out several spiritual qi swords one after another, and as soon as these spiritual qi swords left her peachwood sword, they immediately turned into the form of a giant dragon in mid-air, and rushed towards Eleven with their teeth and claws. Eleven quickly opened his eyes this time, took out a few soul extinguishing beads from his pocket, and a smart spirit jumped up from the ground, his left hand luck, the soul extinguishing beads were as fast as bullets, and instantly hit the eyebrows of the dragon, and his right hand kept drawing talismans in the void, only to hear her shout softly, "Close!" A silver light flashed with the Spirit Destroying Bead, and several Spiritual Qi Dragons were collected into the beads in an instant. Eleven walked slowly, picked up the Soul Killing Beads one by one, and put them back in his pocket.
"Worthy of my daughter. It's really strong! Hahaha-" Liu Xitong threw away the peachwood sword in his hand, patted Eleven's shoulder vigorously and said heroically. Eleven is a rare black line.
"Madam, the young master is weak, if you continue to shoot like this, she will not be able to stand it." The housekeeper suddenly appeared at the door and saw his master patting the little master's shoulder enthusiastically, and the little master's face was already black and red. Reluctantly stepped forward and persuaded him.
"Don't worry, I didn't have any strength." Liu Xitong stroked the broken hair hanging down from his ears, turned his head and asked Steward Guan, "Xiaoguan, is there anything wrong?" "Steward Guan is just a spirit body, he has no spiritual power, if there is nothing wrong, he will not appear in the Netherworld.
"Order from Old K." As he spoke, Steward Guan took out a white bead from his pocket, which looked like a glass marble played by ordinary children. Liu Xitong took the white bead, put it between his hands, and shouted softly, "Open!" The silver light flashed away, and when I spread my hands again, there was already a boxy piece of paper lying in my palm. Liu Xitong pinched the note in his right hand and looked at it, then casually threw it to Eleven, and said, "You go." However, it will not be until the spirit is planted. β
"Wouldn't that be bad? After the young master finishes planting the spirit, he will lose a lot of spiritual power, and his body will be very weak. Wouldn't it be too dangerous to let the young master go on a mission like this? Steward Guan said worriedly with a frown.
"Rest assured. It's just a walk around the newly discovered tombs with the archaeological team to see if there is anything unclean. There is no danger, eleven is a few days of tour of the ancient tomb, very easy. Liu Xitong said casually, "Besides, everyone has gone on a mission, and no one else can go except Eleven." So it was decided. β
In fact, Steward Guan really wanted to remind Mrs. that you can go yourself, but seeing Mrs. with a treacherous look, there is probably no one to play mahjong with her, so she is ready to 'teach' the young master in person. Usually, the young master always sticks to the young master, saying that he wants to protect Eleven, so he has no time to accept her 'teaching', and now the lady has taken the young master away, and the young master will be abused very badly. Steward Guan sighed, forget it, let them handle the affairs of their mother and son by themselves, and they just need to do a good job of the housekeeper's affairs.
Steward Guan turned and exited the Netherworld. Liu Xitong looked at Eleven and said, "You have awakened your spiritual power since you were four years old, and you sank into the Netherworld Sea by yourself at the age of seven. Throughout the generations of the Liu family, there is no one who can compare with you. I don't know if I'm relieved or sad. "The core secret of the Liu family, Eleven hasn't really come into contact with it yet, she is so good, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, Liu Xitong doesn't know the bottom in his heart.
"Go, you go and sit cross-legged under the peach tree, and I will guide you to the spirit!" Liu Xitong no longer thinks about the good or bad of this matter, or rather, whether it is good or bad, she must bear it. This is the fate of the Liu family, and it is also the fate of Eleven.
Eleven obediently sat down according to Liu Xitong's instructions, Liu Xitong stood in front of Eleven, put his hand on Eleven's forehead, and said softly, "Close your eyes, the sea of spirit is empty." β
Eleven closed his eyes and let go of his spiritual sea, and soon, the surrounding sensations began to blur. It was as if he was flying in the ethereal clouds, and suddenly the surroundings began to become pitch black, and bursts of low roars filled the darkness, as if he was shouting, and as if he was crying. Eleven knew in her heart that this was going to the Netherworld, the place she had inadvertently broken into.
It wasn't until noon the next day that Eleven came out of the netherworld, his face a little pale. As soon as he returned to the room, the servant brought Zhu Chenyang's phone. Zhu Chenyang knew that Eleven was going on a mission, but he was caught by the head teacher and couldn't leave, so he couldn't accompany Eleven, so he specially asked Han Leng to ask for leave to take care of Eleven. Eleven listened to Zhu Chenyang's words and nodded indiscriminately to indicate that he knew. Now, what she wants to do most is fall asleep in her own bed. Eleven was in a daze, and remembered asking Zhu Chenyang to go to see the three-year class drama, and apologized to Qin Xin by the way, he might not be able to participate in her drama. Finally, at the end of the lunch break at Beihua College, Zhu Chenyang hung up the phone, Eleven quickly threw away the phone, and fell asleep with a quilt in his arms.
