Chapter 40: The Old Schoolhouse

- The sound of a broom sweeping through a dead leaf sounds.

The old school building of Zhongzhou School Park is located at the foot of a hill outside the high school and university department.

No, it should be said that it is more appropriate to be located deep in the mountains.

Because of its remoteness, this place served the country as a place to train students during World War II. But also because of its remoteness, this place has been abandoned for many years. Although it is maintained every four or five years, the old school building is completely different from other places.

Zhou Xian wiped the sweat from his head, and then looked at the road leading to the old school building in front of him.

Their job was to sweep the road all the way to the old school building.

When the old school building is finally cleared, it will be necessary to wait until the place is cleaned.

The dead leaves in the deep mountains are like waves hitting the beach, and no matter how much you sweep them, you can't sweep them all.

After all, this is a barren land that has been abandoned for many years.

If you want to clean up this whole place, you won't be able to finish it without two or three days of work, right?

"Those girls must have deliberately made an excuse because it was too hard here......

Seeing the situation of the old school building, Brother Wang couldn't help but complain.

"This place has no value at all, even if it's an old school building, it won't be enough to completely clean the road in front of it......

"yes, it was nice to be in the pool, and you can swim after cleaning. It's summer, let's run into the mountains......"

"Yes, yes. The girls must be having a good time now. Tsk, I'd love to see it. ”

There are also people complaining.

"What do you say! We're in a hurry! Try to get things done in these two days! When things are done, you can go to the pool to see the beauties or cool off! ”

Although Brother Wang was also complaining, he was the squad leader of the cleaning squad after all, and at this time he immediately lowered his face.

"Zhou Xian, when you grow up, you can't become such a bad guy who likes to work hard."

Beidou stood by Zhou Xian's side, and he said something coldly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Beidou's words weren't a problem, but the way she spoke ...... It's a little too big......

Zhou Xian glanced around in embarrassment, but found that the college students just now didn't speak, and their faces didn't know what to do, and they became a little red.

"Ahem...... Beidou, why are you still wearing a swimsuit? Zhou Xian quickly diverted the topic.

"It's so cool, isn't it~"

Beidou turned around and seemed to be happy.

"If you're not afraid of bugs, I have no opinion."

Zhou Xian looked down at himself. He changed into trousers and sneakers to prevent mosquito bites from the mountains.

"yes, I didn't even see a single bug."

Beidou's feet are small and delicate, white and smooth, and there are indeed no traces of mosquito bites on them.

"Alas, it's good that you don't attract mosquitoes." Zhou Xian shook his head. He suddenly thought of the history of blood and tears that he had chosen sandals and shorts last year, and as a result, his legs were bitten with countless bags.

This person is really angry compared to people......

"Now, Zhou Xian, should we go to the old school building for an adventure later?"

Hearing Beidou's words, Zhou Xian was angry and funny: "Are you a primary school student?" ”

"Isn't that interesting?"

Beidou pouted.

"Don't worry, when this place is cleaned, we will go to the old school building in a few days to clean it up. It's time to explore inside. "From another point of view, it's not easy for Beidou, who has always been learning to socialize with anime, to be able to do what he is now, but this is simply too "middle two"......

"Zhou Xian, don't you know the way, if there are too many people, the ghosts will run away, and then you won't see anything, what a pity."

This girl probably didn't know that she had been labeled as a "middle two girl" by Zhou Xian.

However, the unconscious secondary school girl seems to be very interested in the adventure: "I don't know what Lu Dao is for, I always think that if we go to the old school building now, we will encounter good things, Zhou Xian, do you want to wait for us to clean up before we go?" Isn't this world great? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The haunting of the old school building, is it just the story setting of which era?

Moreover, why are there still people who are obsessed with believing that this kind of story was outdated fifty or sixty years ago!

"Zhou Xian, if you agree, let me be your girlfriend!"

Girl, where's your festival?!

"Ah, well, okay! But a girlfriend or something, don't talk about it! ”

Zhou Xian believes that if he continues to refuse, this Beidou will definitely haunt him even more.

Because it was because of Beidou's relationship last time that he saved Su Wenlong, Zhou Xian should be regarded as returning her favor.

After the cleaning work was over, Zhou Xian and Beidou came here.

The old school building of Zhongzhou School Park still retains the architectural style of the early and middle years of the last century, and when Zhou Xian and Beidou came to this place, he felt that time had returned to that time.

The school building was surrounded by rusty iron railings, but the old iron gate was temporarily opened because it needed to be cleaned.

On the wall in front of the school building, there are still some slogans written on them, although they are no longer legible, but they seem to be recognizable, and they seem to be words like "study hard, protect the family and defend the country".

"It's so quiet, it's incredible." Beidou looked around, extremely greedy to take in everything around him.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, this place is reflected in the sunset, giving people an incomparably wonderful feeling, as if you are outside of time and space, watching the passing of the world.

Although he came with Beidou, Zhou Xian was indeed attracted by such a beautiful scenery.

"This world is wonderful."

Beidou admired.

"Really?" Zhou Xian suddenly thought of the game world. "If you talk about wonders, the world realm in the game of Dragon Tomb is the most, right?"

"Hmm, really? I think it's a bit boring and monotonous. Sure enough, it's the world world here that is more comfortable. Well...... Isn't it shocking that in a world where there is no Taoism or magic, human beings can accomplish such miracles? ”

Beidou's words made Zhou Xian dumbfounded: "I didn't think it before, but when I heard you say this, I suddenly realized that our world can be so beautiful." ”

"Hmm. In this world, nothing is taken for granted, and anything that is taken for granted is because of the dedication and efforts of the predecessors, and such a refined world is definitely not an accident, but because of the efforts of your ancestors from generation to generation. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes, in any worldly realm, nothing is taken for granted. Only what our hands can really rely on to hold on to ourselves is the real thing. ”

"Well, so, can I go in if I want to......?"

"Of courseβ€”no!"

Zhou Xian rolled his eyes at Beidou. This guy was unexpectedly thinking about such a thing.

"Don't look at our old school building so dilapidated, this place is now a cultural heritage. We can get in and out of the cleaning shift, but only during working hours. You don't want to go in now. Besides, there are a lot of cultural relics from the Republic of China period, although they are not very important, but what if they are damaged by you? ”

"Huh-"

Beidou has a stupid look, and now it's a pity.

"Okay, now that we've seen it, let's go back, we'll still come here in a few days, and you'll have a chance to hang out here."

"Let me take another lookβ€”just take a lookβ€”" Beidou said pitifully, "just let me walk around this place." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at the door of the school building."

In fact, it should be said that Zhou Xian is ready to guard the gate to prevent Beidou from taking the opportunity to sneak in.

"Uh-huh! That's fine! ”

I don't know why Beidou is so interested in this old school building, so Zhou Xian can only let her wander around, and pay attention to whether there are any patrol robots passing by - if that thing is discovered, it will not be good.

The old school building wasn't huge, but it wasn't small. After all, this was a holy place to accommodate students in those days, and Zhou Xian was still full of awe of this place.

"But what's going on?"

Zhou Xian looked at the old school building and seemed to feel that the building in front of him had an indescribable feeling.

Moreover, the more Zhou Xian stared at the old school building, the more he found that this feeling became serious in his heart.

The old school building seems to be out of place in this whole environment.

"It's so incongruous, what's going on?"

This sudden and incongruous feeling made Zhou Xian can't help but glance at the old school building.

β€œβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”οΌβ€

In a trance, Zhou Xian seemed to find that on the wall of the old school building directly opposite the door, there seemed to be all strange writing, and this writing was not Chinese, but a strange hieroglyph.

"Demon Clan?!"

Zhou Xian was suddenly surprised.

The shape of this text is very similar to the demon script, if it weren't for the unclear meaning of this text, Zhou Xian would probably have decided that this kind of text is the demon script in the game world.

"Zhou Xian, I'm done. It's a nice place - hey, what are you looking at? ”

At this time, Beidou, who had already walked around, suddenly walked over.

"No, nothing ......"

Zhou Xian was a little puzzled.

Just now...... Could it be a hallucination?

At that time, I didn't know what Lu Dao was, but after seeing that line of text, a strong uneasiness flooded from Zhou Xian's heart.

"Alright, now that we're done, let's get out of here. Zhou Xian beckoned Beidou and prepared to leave. ”

"Eh, can't you stay longer?"

Zhou Xian shook his head: "It's almost night, this is on the mountain, let's go back quickly!" ”

Zhongzhou City is a karst landform, although it is a mountain, but it is not far away. But at night, it's not safe to go blind in the dark.

"Ah, okay."

Beidou was a little helpless.

And Zhou Xian also took a look at the old school building and left from here.

It's just that the uneasiness in his heart has always lingered......
