Chapter 5 Finding the Hat

If I look for a hat during the day, I will definitely be suspicious of others, so I plan to look for it after self-study in the evening. On this day, I've been trying to keep myself from getting distracted. During the end of class, I inadvertently heard Chang Lan saying, "Siqi, you accompany me to the toilet, I've been so scared these days." ”

Siqi lay on the table and said impatiently, "What are you afraid of?" Wang Ming didn't jump off the building in the women's toilet, you are afraid of a ghost. Now I'm going to sleep, don't disturb me. ”

When I heard the word "Wang Ming", I couldn't help but be stunned.

Chang Lan pouted, then glanced at me and asked, "Xiaoxian, are you free?" ”

I nodded quickly, got up from my seat, and went to the bathroom arm in arm with her.

Along the way, I asked her tentatively: "Chang Lan, Wang Ming is the one who jumped off the building?" ”

"yes. It is said that he jumped from the top floor of the school building, which is terrifying! I don't even dare to go to the toilet alone now! ”

It seems that what happened last night was not a dream.

At the end of the evening self-study class, I asked Li Wan to go first. When we were almost done, I ran quickly to the top floor. But unexpectedly, the door to the top floor was locked. I sighed, and suddenly there was a gust of wind behind me, and it was bitterly cold. I looked behind me with some fear, but I didn't see anything.

"The key to this door is mine." Wang Ming's voice sounded behind me, startling me. I turned back suddenly, but I didn't see him, only a key that was placed on the ground.

I picked up the key, opened the door, and went inside. It was very windy on the top floor. I turned on my flashlight and searched all the way around. Suddenly, by the light of the flashlight, I saw a black hat near the railing, and I happily shouted behind me: "Wang Ming, I found the hat." ”

There was no response from behind, but I had already stepped forward and picked up my hat.

"Wang Ming? Where are you? "I searched everywhere and didn't find it for half a day. Suddenly, a shrill meow broke the peace. I looked for a black cat at my feet, and it was looking at me with its head held high.

I squatted down with some curiosity and touched its head, but it didn't resist. I stroked its fur gently, only to find that there was a small area on its body that was hairless, only a striking scar. I touched it in distress, and it closed its eyes and looked like it was enjoying it.

After a long time, there was still no movement around. I got up and prepared to leave, because it was too late and if I didn't go back, the school gate would be locked.

"I went back. Do you want to come home with me? I smiled at the black cat and stroked its head. It was docile and raised its head to meow at me, as if in response to me. Then, it quickly disappeared into the night.

I was a little reluctant in my heart, but I still took my hat and ran all the way home.

It was late at night, and the room was silent, except for the sound of the wind hitting the windows. It's not yet twelve o'clock, and I've always wondered why Wang Ming hasn't come yet. I put the hat on my desk. When I got tired of doing my homework, I stopped my pen and looked at the hat by the light. The texture of this hat is actually quite rough to the touch.

"Thank you." Suddenly, Wang Ming's voice came from behind. I had expected it, but when I looked back, I didn't see anything.

"You can't see me without the eyes of heaven. Plus I don't want to show up because I'm afraid my appearance will scare you. "His voice, very realistically around him.

"The hat is here." I put my hat forward, and the way I spoke into the air was really amazing, especially when you knew there was a ghost across from you.

"I might have one more thing to trouble you. Can you help me burn it? ”

"Burned it?" I asked, surprised.

"Only then will I actually get it."

"Good. But I'm curious, why didn't you respond to me when I found a hat on the top floor of the school building and called you? I said confusedly.

He suddenly stopped talking, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Because I always feel like I'm going to be devoured, and that feeling is very uncomfortable. But as soon as I saw you, I didn't feel that way. Thank you so much for helping me get my hat back. ”

I didn't know what to say, so I just got up and said to the front: "I'll go find a lighter, and then go to the balcony to burn my hat." ”

I was afraid of causing a fire, so I brought a basin of water from the hygiene. At the same time, I also found an old iron basin that I didn't use. I set my hat on fire and watched as the flames grew bigger and bigger. The fire gradually consumed the black hat.

I sat on a stool and quietly watched the fire in the basin.

Wang Ming suddenly said, "Do you live alone?" ”

I shook my head and said, "My mom went on a business trip and will be back in a few days." ”

He said softly, "Oooh".

I wanted to ask him why he committed suicide, but when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say it.

He remained silent for a long time.

"The hat is running out. You'll be able to get it in a minute. I broke the silence and said with a smile.

"Uh-huh." He only responded lightly, but I could still feel his sadness.

When the hat was burned clean, he said helplessly: "Thank you, I have already got it." But I didn't know where to go. Today is my first seven, and I should go home, but I don't have a home to go back to. ”

I asked tentatively, "What about your parents?" ”

He smiled helplessly and said, "My mother died three years ago. She gave me this black hat. ”

"And your father?"

"I can't forgive him until now. Maybe it's because of him that I jumped off the building. Actually, that night, I didn't want to jump off the building, I just ...... "what he wanted to say, but he wanted to stop talking."

I didn't ask any further, maybe everyone has their own unspeakable secrets. Strangely, the house suddenly became quiet again, and I shouted his name everywhere, but no one responded. Suddenly, I seemed to hear a cat meow, and I looked downstairs, but I didn't see anything.

It was not early, and after I cleaned up the balcony, I went back to my room to read the book. After a while, my sleepiness began to flood in, and I dozed off on the table. In a daze, I caught a glimpse of a tall figure standing next to me, I rubbed my eyes, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man was silent.

Before I could see his appearance clearly, suddenly there was a familiar fragrance, and I seemed to be unconscious, and I fell asleep.
