After walking across the wooden bridge and into the dense forest, about 100 meters away, the front suddenly opened up. Under the embankment, in the middle of the dense woods, there was a large clearing, and in the middle of the clearing, there was a row of abandoned and dilapidated dormitories, which looked like seven or eight rooms.

Because it has been uninhabited for many years, the dormitory is dilapidated and deserted. Broken doors and windows, broken glass. The wind blew through it, making all kinds of strange sounds, and from time to time wild cats and wild dogs passed by.

There was a pool in front of the door, and when I turned on the faucet vigorously, there was clear tap water flowing out. The dormitory doors are locked, the padlocks are rusty, and the interior is littered with miscellaneous items. Looking to the left and right, there is a special kitchen on the west side, and there are men's and women's toilets at the back of the main house on the east side.

He's a little out of his way, it's a good place!

It's really an endless road, and when I was worried about having nowhere to live, I found such a treasure land. Judging from the piles of broken tables and chairs, this dormitory must be the school. Judging by the dilapidated state of the dormitory, it has been abandoned and must have been uninhabited for a long time. He was excited, since he had nowhere to stay, why didn't I stay here, master?

Thinking about it, I climbed the embankment again, and what came into view was the wide irrigation river and the rushing river. In particular, there is a long trestle bridge made of logs by the river, about ten meters wide and seventy or eighty meters long. Although it is a shallow autumn, there are reed flowers fluttering under the trestle bridge, and the reeds are flying all over the sky, boiling, a poetic flower.

At this moment, he made up his mind, master, I will live here!

After the reconnaissance was completed, it was estimated that Teacher Zhang was about to get out of class, and he was afraid that she would find her, so he hurriedly ran back to the communication room. Teacher Zhang was really panting and looking for him: "You ran there, let me look for a big circle, come with me with something." Yu Songyuan carried a bed, a washbasin, a thermos and a schoolbag, and followed Mr. Zhang into the faculty and staff family area.

Walking to the center of the middle row, opening the door of one of the rooms, Mr. Zhang said, "This is my house, you can stay with me at night." Don't worry, there are too many students, and I will slowly find a way to find the school office to coordinate the dormitory. ”

Teacher Zhang is not a few years older than Yu Songyuan, and is the same age as his sister Yu Qin, and has a sweet appearance. As soon as I got married, the school solved two double dormitories, one for cooking and one for living, which added up to 20 square meters. Yu Songyuan could only build a marching bed in the kitchen, and he had to fold the bed when cooking.

He said to Teacher Zhang, "I have found a place to live. ”

Teacher Zhang said, "You don't know anyone, how can you be?" You don't have to worry about us, Yu Qin and I are classmates and friends, and you treat me as your sister. It's all your own people, don't be embarrassed. ”

At this moment, Mr. Zhang's lover came back with a bicycle, and Mr. Zhang made a brief introduction. It turned out that Mr. Zhang's lover was called Liu Gong and worked in the county industrial bureau. Liu Gong said: "Don't worry, when you don't have difficulties, let's say that we haven't had children yet, and the old man doesn't live with us, so we build a bed and a pair of chopsticks." ”

Yu Songyuan said: "It's not all because I'm afraid of disturbing you, but because I'm afraid that my own learning will be affected. ”

He found such a reason, and Mr. and Mrs. Zhang couldn't hold on anymore. So he asked, "Where are you looking for?" Take us to see it. ”

Yu Songyuan said: "It's the row of old houses under the river embankment. ”

Teacher Zhang looked at each other for a moment, and his mouth opened wide in shock. Teacher Zhang said: "What is a 'haunted house', it is not clean, it has been haunted, you are crazy, absolutely not!" Absolutely not! ”

Liu Gong also said: "You're kidding, there have been dead people there, two or three miles away from the school, the surroundings are empty, and there are no people." What did you know what the embankment was doing in the past? From the Qing Dynasty to the present day, it has been an execution ground! At night, the ghosts cried and the wolves howled, and no one dared to live there. ”

Yu Songyuan said resolutely: "I am serious, I have been bold since I was a child. I took a closer look, and it was full of school stuff, which was also the school house. It's better if the school agrees, and if I don't, I'll just go and live quietly. Besides, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I am also a wicked person, and if there is a ghost, it is afraid of me. ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and seeing that his attitude was so resolute, they had to agree to try it again with the school office.

Teacher Zhang led Yu Songyuan to the school office and proposed to let Yu Songyuan live in the row of old warehouses under the river embankment, and at the same time help the school take care of the old desks and chairs. The director of the school office said indifferently: "As long as he dares to live, he can live there." But if you think about it, we are sure that if anything goes wrong, it has nothing to do with the school. ”

Teacher Zhang said unhappily: "Don't worry, we will be responsible for the problem." ”

In this way, Yu Songyuan lived in a "haunted house" through Teacher Zhang's coordination and struggle. The biggest problem of accommodation was finally solved, and he let out a long breath.

The director of the school affairs office finally found the key, and Yu Songyuan came to the abandoned dormitory alone with his luggage. I opened the door, pressed the switch, and the light turned on. The doors and windows are all broken, and only newspapers need to be pasted. The room is stacked with dilapidated tables and chairs and broken upper and lower double beds, which can be lived in with a simple cleaning and repair.

The westernmost room of the dormitory is a shared kitchen with a stove, and two large iron pots are rusty, and the lids of the cauldron are dirty and dusty. In the tattered cupboard, there are some old dishes piled up in a mess. Kitchen utensils such as kitchen knives and cutting boards were all piled up on the wall, almost buried in dust. A square dining table covered with guano. When he turned on the tap, there was a clear stream of water, and he was very relieved that the conditions were not as legendary.

Behind the stove, the firewood and grass are neatly laid, as if someone has just slept. It seems that people have lived here in the past. And now, perhaps, there are people who are in the flow of Lang, who spend the night in the kitchen.

Later, it was learned that the so-called "haunted house" was originally a temporary house built by the county fishing company. Because of its desolation and secrecy, it once became the place where the largest rebels in the county held "prisoners" and the objects of struggle. Several people died in captivity, including a man and a woman, who hanged themselves and were secretly buried on the reed-covered river beach beneath the embankment.

A few years ago, a middle-aged teacher in our school, who had been sick for many years, never married, and used to teach mathematics, took the initiative to live here because he was infected with a highly contagious lung disease and did not want to infect others. Before dying, he vomited some blood, and his mourning was incessant, and his condition was extremely miserable. After his death, the place became even more terrifying.

Although the school housing is tight, the young single teachers would rather live in rented houses off campus than have the courage to move here. As a result, it has been vacant and has become a temporary warehouse for the school office, with the doors locked and turned into a habitat for cats, wild dogs and various birds.

In fact, from the current point of view, the environment here is quiet and the scenery is unique.

Behind the house is a tall embankment of the Guan River, at the top of which is a road about two meters wide, and two towering acacia trees, neem trees, and other tall trees. There are no street lights, and at night, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and the sound of forests, winds, running water, cats and dogs, and all kinds of birds are singing one after another.

Standing on the embankment and looking out, on the left and right, there are all desolate river flats, and there are no people within four or five kilometers. Dense forests of tall trees and thick reeds are filled with all kinds of birds chasing, frolicking, and singing. A small ravine in the middle of the forest winds through the beach, and all kinds of colorful fish swim in it. The banks of the creek are covered with tall weeping willows, and it is the end of autumn at this moment, and the catkins are all over the sky, like snowflakes.

But unfortunately, it is precisely because of the so-called "haunted house" that it is too far away from the school, and very few teachers and students of the school dare to come here to see the scenery. Even people who swim in the river in the summer will avoid this place far away, making it even more cold and desolate.

Yu Songyuan didn't care about this, he lived here that day.

In the afternoon, he took a bunch of old newspapers and haode paddle paste that Mr. Zhang found, chose the easternmost room with relatively good conditions, pasted the doors and windows with old newspapers, moved the extra old tables and chairs into other rooms, and then carefully cleaned the bed and made the bed.

Soon, the inside and outside were completely new, the beds were also available, the tables and chairs were also ready, and he even cleaned the men's and women's toilets thoroughly. When everything was done, he went to the sink in front of the door and turned on the faucet, washed his face happily, and went to the school water tower to get a thermos of boiling water. When I returned to the dormitory, I turned on the lights and lay down, feeling extremely comfortable and comfortable.

took out the cake made by her mother and the salted soybeans fried by Aunt Yu Yueyue, and simply ate dinner. Then, in the evening light, he walked up the embankment and ran a few laps on the wide embankment and the long trestle bridge, and was in a very good mood. The wind whistled over the trees on the embankment and the dense reeds under the trestle. Suddenly, he rolled his hand into a trumpet and roared "ah-yo-oh" at the wide river.

Suddenly, he vaguely heard that someone seemed to be calling him, and he hurriedly ran up the embankment from the wooden trestle bridge, and it turned out that Liu Gong and Teacher Zhang had come to visit him. I saw the two holding hands and walking over tremblingly. Liu Gong was holding a flashlight in his hand, and Teacher Zhang was holding a rice bowl in his hand.

Teacher Zhang seemed to be a little reproachful and said: "You are so bold, you are not afraid of accidents, you ran to the river embankment alone, if you didn't hear the scream, we really couldn't find you, and we were nervous to death." ”

"The wooden trestle bridge is afraid that it is decades and nearly a hundred years old, so be careful, there is a rolling river below, and it is impossible to fall. You live here alone, and you don't even have a person to save, so you can't be careless. Liu Gong also said.

Back in the dormitory, Mr. Zhang looked around, was pleasantly surprised, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. It's really good to let him clean up like this, and he has the appearance of a student dormitory.

Yu Songyuan also took them to visit the kitchen, sink, and toilet. Teacher Zhang walked into the women's toilet, came out after going up, and praised with a smile: "Even the women's toilet is cleaned clean, quite careful." ”

"This is the first time I've been in the women's bathroom." After Yu Songyuan finished speaking, he quickly explained, "Of course, it's for cleaning." ”

Liu Gong laughed, and Teacher Zhang nodded Yu Songyuan's forehead and smiled, "Do you still want to weishenme?" If you live here alone, no one cares, so don't be bad. ”

When he went indoors and touched his quilt again, Mr. Zhang said, "It's too thin, it's autumn now, and it's going to be the coldest time of the year soon." You go to the house tomorrow to get it, it just so happens that there are ready-made thick cotton tires at home, and there are also ready-made quilts in the quilt, I will sew a thick quilt for you tonight, I really dare not walk this road. ”

Yu Songyuan said: "It's not cold, it's not cold, it's not needed, the new quilt is easy for people to steal, I cover this quilt when I'm at home, and I'm not used to it." Besides, it's under the river embankment, leeward and sunny, and it's really not cold. ”

When I said this, I felt a little bitter in my heart, this quilt was still given by Aunt Wang Feng, after the "catastrophe" of Jihua's childbirth, there was not a single needle left in my house, how could there be a quilt for him to bring to school.
