25 The situation of the family

After the winter solstice, it gets dark earlier and earlier, and the sky slowly darkens at five o'clock in the afternoon, and it is already dark outside school at half past five.

Walking out of the teaching building, a cold wind hit, Wei Gospel couldn't help but shiver, the big iron gate of the school is usually locked with iron chains, the perennial wind and rain iron doors and iron chains are rusty, the gate is not often opened, there is a small door next to the iron gate, which can allow one person to pass through.

Wei Gospel didn't dare to stay in the classroom for an extra minute after school, thinking about the thrilling second half of the journey, the classmates pushed and shoved behind her and laughed unscrupulously, one by one like prisoners released from prison, Wei Gospel was squeezed aside by the students who poured out, and he almost didn't fall down, trying to maintain balance.

"Nerd."

Hearing this familiar voice, her eyes searched the sea of people.

"Here!" Yang Longfei waved at her on the other side of the human wall, and this joy was self-evident to her.

The two men looked at each other in the crowd and smiled.

Knowing that he was waiting for her to get out of school.

This matter has to start from Lidong, Yang Longfei has always been careless, but he gradually realized something, he found that every time he got out of school, Wei Gospel followed him, not near or far.

It was pitch black, and there were no street lights halfway home from school.

Because the school is in the community, a few of the children who don't live in the community have to go home in the dark after school, the summer is fine, the sun is still high in the air at five or six o'clock, and the winter is suffered, and it is dark at half past five, because several people are in different grades, sometimes the time of school is different, and they can't rush home together.

Fortunately, Wei Gospel has someone to keep him company.

There is almost a thousand meters from Da'an to the school, there is an abandoned stone bridge in the middle of the road, there is a clear river under the bridge, there is no street light at a distance of about 500 meters from the stone bridge to Da'an, this area has been abandoned for a long time, it is too far away from the city to have the need to install street lights, it is the arrival of these outsiders to survive until now.

It was this 500-meter distance that made Yang Longfei suspicious, because he found that Wei Gospel always followed him quietly not far behind, and he could just hear his footsteps, the first time he thought it was a coincidence, the next day after school, he found that there was a figure looming behind him, after crossing the small bridge, Wei Gospel's footsteps were significantly faster, and slowly approached him, because he was afraid of being discovered, so he tiptoed, and on the third day after school, he deliberately paid attention to observe, this time he was more certain, Wei Gospel was following him, and found this, Yang Longfei's mind was flying, began to walk slowly and leisurely, Wei Gospel walked slowly, gradually quickened the pace, her footsteps were also hurried, afraid of losing it, Yang Longfei smiled slyly, walked faster and faster, walked faster and faster, and finally ran, Wei Gospel was naturally dumbfounded when he couldn't catch up with him, and looked around in panic when he listened to the footsteps that were getting farther away.

It was pitch black all around, there were many shadows, the black-like dome didn't even have a crescent moon and a star, and there was a rustling sound from the dry grass and overgrown saline-alkali ground on the side of the road, as if something was going to drill out, which scared her soul away, and she couldn't catch up with Yang Longfei, so she had to take a deep breath and have the courage to go by herself.

Yang Longfei thought as he ran: "Why didn't I find out that she had the habit of following her before, Wei Gospel never went to and from school with him, even if they lived very close, she wouldn't go with him, avoiding suspicion and being far away from him, she was always the first to rush out of the classroom every day after school, and ran home with a smoke, what's going on recently?"

Wei Gospel couldn't see the road under his feet clearly at all, so he had to walk forward with his feelings, avoiding the potholed road with extra care, and cursed secretly in his heart: Yang Longfei, this bastard, won't wait for me.

Yang Longfei also wondered: Why are you following me, don't you like me, because he is shy, he doesn't dare to say, and he decided to find the answer by himself after school on the fourth day.

At first, he walked very steadily, not slowly, Wei Gospel followed behind, praying that he would not run away with any more nerves.

There are street lights in the section from the small stone bridge to the school, and the street lights are lit up after five o'clock, Wei Gospel walked back through the dim lights on both sides of the road, and the second half of the road was pitch black, and he vaguely saw Da'an shrouded in an inky black shadow, and there was a little faint light in the black shadow.

Wei Gospel cautiously followed behind Yang Longfei, seemingly careless, but in fact he listened nervously to his footsteps, for fear that he would lose it.

"Da da......" Yang Longfei's clear footsteps came from not far away on the entire dark long street, although she couldn't see the figure, she felt relieved, and her anxiety and panic were swept away, thank God for letting such a person exist.

Suddenly, the footsteps disappeared, Wei Gospel was stunned, stagnant, and there was no sound all around, she looked left and right in the darkness where she couldn't see her fingers, when did she lose it, she still heard it just now......

Trembling for a moment, he suddenly ......

"Ahh Hell! A black figure came out of the overgrown saline-alkali ground, Wei Gospel turned pale with fright, and he didn't even have the idea of escaping, and when the black shadow walked in little by little, he gradually recognized the owner of the black shadow.

Yang Longfei walked towards her with his teeth and claws, obviously pretending to be a ghost to scare her, the prank was successful, and there was still a little smugness on his face, Wei Gospel's eyes were wide open, his legs trembled, and he seemed to faint.

After a while, Yang Longfei realized that he had made a big disaster, and Wei Gospel was so frightened by him that he scared away the six tips, and said nonsense: "You are a human or a ghost."

Yang Long raised his hand to give himself a crisp slap, and said softly: "Fool, of course I am human."

Wei Gospel's eyes were full of panic.

"I don't believe you're touching." Yang Longfei leaned closer, sent his face over, and said, "I don't believe you touch it."

Wei Gospel raised his hand and twisted it his arm.

"Ahh Yang Longfei shouted, and was pinched willingly, rubbed his arm and said, "Now let's settle it."

After the two walked silently for a while, Yang Longfei finally couldn't hold it back: "Why do you always follow me, do you like me?"

Wei Gospel sneered, and by the faint light, he replied, "I'm afraid of the dark."

"What is there to be afraid of."

"I'm afraid of ghosts." Wei Gospel's voice was small, as if he was speaking to himself, as if he was really afraid of disturbing the ghosts passing by nearby.

Yang Longfei looked at her, his footsteps stopped, and said with a smile: "What is there to be afraid of ghosts, besides, there are no ghosts in this world at all."

"I don't know why, I've been afraid of the dark since I was a child, and I always feel as if something will suddenly come out of the darkness, and I'm following you because I hear your footsteps, which makes me feel very relieved, and I'm not afraid."

Her explanation made Yang Longfei happy for a long time, surprised and delighted, and asked the ghost: "Don't you hate me."

"Never."

Since then, every day after school, Yang Longfei will appear at the corner of the school wall and wait for Wei Gospel to go home together, even if neither of them spoke along the way, listening to each other's footsteps, his heart was warm.

Yang Longfei found that Wei Gospel seemed to have changed, his eyes became gentle, and even his tone of voice became mellow and sweet.

On Tuesday, when the school was out of school after two classes in the afternoon, it was still dark, and when the two walked to the bridge, Yang Longfei proposed: "Let's race, see who runs home first, and if they win, they will agree to each other's request."

Wei Gospel stopped and shook his head, not planning to fight, and said, "This kind of competition is not fair, you know that I can't outrun you."

Yang Longfei put a hand on her schoolbag belt and said, "That's it, for the sake of fairness, I'll help you get your schoolbag."

As he spoke, he put his hand on Wei Gospel's shoulder, grabbed her schoolbag belt with both hands, and pulled it to both sides, and the schoolbag slid down Wei Gospel's shoulder and fell into his hand.

The weight of the sudden drop of the schoolbag caught Yang Longfei a little off guard, and he was almost dropped by the heavy schoolbag, he frowned and asked, "What are you in your schoolbag, so heavy."

"Books." Wei Gospel replied simply.

Yang Longfei took her schoolbag in his hand and said, "Your schoolbag is at least ten pounds."

He said as he slung her bag to his chest.

"My dad used a scale, thirteen pounds." Wei Gospel laughed.

"No wonder." Yang Longfei patted the bulging schoolbag on his chest and said to himself.

Wei Gospel thought to himself that what he must have said was 'No wonder you study so well', and asked with a smile: "No wonder what?"

Then Yang Longfei said silently: "No wonder you don't grow tall!" Hahahahaha. ”

After speaking, he winked at Wei Gospel with a smile.

Wei Gospel let out a long sigh of relief, didn't even look at him, and ran away.

Yang Longfei's reaction was half a beat slower, carrying two heavy schoolbags one after the other, and it was difficult to walk, watching Wei Gospel rush forward without looking back, raising his legs to chase after him.

"Wait a minute, believe it or not, I'll throw your bag into the stinking gutter." Yang Longfei beckoned as he ran.

Although he was carrying a weight on his body, he was not running slowly, Wei Fuxin was running easily but not fast, the two of them opened a distance, and they couldn't catch up for the time being, but the sound could still be heard.

Wei Gospel didn't slow down, and when he looked back, he saw Yang Longfei wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead while running, and felt very funny.

"You dare." Naturally, she was not afraid of his threat, and shouted, "If you throw my bag into the stinking ditch, I will throw you in too."

Yang Longfei was so angry and funny, tired and panting, raised his two long arms above his head, and shouted loudly: "I can't run, can't I surrender."

Wei Gospel turned his face away from him and continued to run forward.

"Hey, I've surrendered, and you're still running."

Wei Gospel laughed.

At the same time, they entered the landmark building of Da'an ___ a square iron frame, originally there were two large iron gates, due to the lack of management for a long time, the two gates have long been gone, maybe they were demolished as scrap iron and sold it, only the bare door frame stood there rain or shine, the reason why it was preserved, not because it wanted to commemorate anything, but it was buried deep in the ground, embedded in the cement pillars, otherwise it would have been smashed and sold scrap iron in this three-regardless of the territory.

Suddenly, two police cars drove past them, the red and blue lights on the roof of the car flickered, watching the police car disappear quickly at the end of the road, Wei Gospel had an ominous premonition in his heart, feeling that this police car was coming for her, and the worst thing was that she always felt good and not bad.

Wei Gospel took the schoolbag handed over by Yang Longfei, walked forward with a heavy heart, folded his hands, and prayed silently in his heart: God bless, but don't let anything happen to my family, she quickly recited ten times in her heart in a second.

Walking down from the road, first passing by the door of Yang Longfei's house, the creeper covered by the wall of his house is now only bare branches, tightly attached to the bricks, Wei Gospel usually likes to observe this winding creeper, but now she is not in the mood to appreciate it, just bow her head and walk slowly, praying over and over again, as if she is afraid that God will not hear.

After saying goodbye to Yang Longfei, Wei Gospel walked into the corner behind the first row of bungalows with trepidation, and the third row of bungalows diagonally opposite the stone road was painted with a green painted door, and at a glance he saw a large group of people densely surrounding her door.
