The old lady in front of me who seemed weak and weak, I used the fortune-telling method to see the face, but I couldn't see any information from her face.

Although I'm not good at fortune telling, I still have some basic skills. Ordinary people, I can read some information.

And the old lady in front of me, I couldn't read anything from her face, which made my heart go up and down.

Soon, she began to cry and said, "Young man, you can accept it on behalf of the Ninth Master, if you don't accept it, then I will be beaten and scolded by the old man in my family when I go back." ”

I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed that she even moved out of her wife in order to let me accept this thing.

I carefully recalled what Liu Ruoxue told me, asking me not to accept gifts from the old lady, as long as I didn't accept them, and didn't say that I couldn't take other means to deal with it.

Thinking of this, I asked the old lady: "Mother-in-law, although I can't accept your gift, I have a request, do you think it's appropriate?" ”

When the old lady heard this, she looked a little surprised and asked, "Young man, tell me about it!" ”

I said, "Mother-in-law, how about you let this snake go?" It's just a snake, but it's life. If you let it live, you will also accumulate virtue for you and future generations! And the Ninth Master and I are also very happy to see this kind of kindness. ”

When I had said this, the old lady's eyes brightened, and she thought for a moment, and then said, "In that case, young man, I will not force you to accept this meager gift from me." ”

I smiled at the old lady and said, "Mother-in-law, it's not too early, go back quickly!" ”

The old lady smiled, didn't say anything more, and left with the bamboo basket on her own.

I saw off the old lady until dark, and there was no other old lady to give me any gifts, which made me feel a lot more at ease.

Judging from this, it is obvious that the old lady who sent the snake is the one Liu Ruoxue came to tell me.

But I wondered what kind of person this old lady was, and asked Liu Ruoxue to come to me in advance and tell me not to accept her gifts.

It's one thing not to accept her gifts, and it's a little strange that I can't tell the slightest bit of information from her face.

I couldn't figure it out, so I didn't bother to think about it. Now that I have done what Liu Ruoxue said, nothing should happen again.

When I went to bed that night, I felt something moving outside the store, and when I got up to look at the window, the sound of moving disappeared and nothing unusual happened outside.

The next morning, shortly after I opened, an old man came to the shop with an anxious look.

I know that old man, who used to be the old principal of the middle school in our town, named Chen Wenli.

But he probably didn't know me, because when I was in junior high school, there were more than 1,000 students in our town's middle school. Combined with my grades, it's not particularly top-notch.

As soon as the old principal entered the house, he hurriedly asked, "Little brother, is the ninth master here?" ”

I said, "Principal Chen, the ninth master is not here, do you have anything to do with him?" ”

Principal Chen heard me say that the ninth master was not there, and he flattered his hands with a worried look and paced back and forth in the store.

Immediately, he asked again: "Then when will the ninth master come back?" ”

When Jiu Ye left at that time, he said that he would not come back for ten days and half a month, and it had only been a few days, and it was obviously impossible for him to return to the store.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Principal Chen, it will take at least a week before he comes back." ”

After listening to my words, he couldn't help but say to himself, "Tsk! It's going to take so long, oops, that's over......"

Then he asked me: "Little brother, do you know the things that the ninth master will do?" ”

I frowned and said, "Do you mean catching ghosts and exorcism?" ”

The old principal Chen Wenli nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, that's the matter!" ”

I deliberately looked very puzzled and said, "Principal Chen, do you believe in this kind of thing?" ”

He couldn't help but look embarrassed and said, "Little master, you know, with the special nature of our work, strictly speaking, we really can't believe these things, but there has been some trouble in the school recently. There is really no way back, so I can only try to find a capable person from the people. ”

I sighed and said, "Principal Chen, I know a little bit about that aspect of things. ”

When he heard me say this, he stretched out his frowns, and hurriedly held my hand, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and said excitedly: "Little master, then please go and help take a look!" No matter what the results you see, I will pay you. ”

When I heard him say that he would give him a reward, I secretly thought to myself, who would have trouble with money. Then he said, "Principal Chen, it's easy to say, I can go and help first!" ”

Chen Wenli said: "Little master, don't be the principal and the principal, I have already retired." Just call me Lao Chen! ”

Hearing his words, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Huh! Then I'll call you Chen Lao. ”

After saying this, I took some commonly used things from the Xiangtang House and followed Chen Laochao Middle School.

Since Chen Wenli has retired, why is he still in charge of the school's affairs?

I asked suspiciously, "Elder Chen, aren't you already retired, why are you still worried about school affairs?" ”

Chen Wenli said helplessly: "I was also asked by the current principal to help, he didn't dare to come forward directly to find people in your business!" ”

According to his words, it does make sense, for working people, if you want to believe that we are doing this kind of thing, it is really not very daring to come blatantly, in case you lose your job because of this, it will be troublesome.

I asked Chen Wenli what was going on in the school that made him seem so panicked.

Chen Wenli lowered his voice and said: "A strange thing has happened in the school recently, some students will always sleepwalk at night!" ”

After listening to Chen Wenli's words, I couldn't help but be surprised, and secretly thought that night travel is not a normal thing, this is explained by science.

When I was in junior high school in the town, I saw girls sleepwalking in the middle of the night in our school.

That girl should also be one of the more worrying kinds, because she will get up and move outside the dormitory, but there is no particularly exaggerated behavior.

At that time, I frightened the school's dormitory manager, because the girl lived in a dormitory in a high-rise building, and since she found out that she had a habit of sleepwalking, the school also arranged her in the dormitory on the first floor.

According to scientific research, some people with sleepwalking disorder will involuntarily get up from the bed and talk nonsense after falling asleep.

In serious cases, they even dressed and cooked in an orderly manner; Or go outside for a spin and then come back to bed, only to wake up the next morning with no memory of what happened during the night.

When I was in college, I also read a news report that said that a man sleepwalked, got up at night and drove dozens of kilometers, and then came back to sleep.

I said to Principal Chen Wenli: "Elder Chen, night travel is a scientific category, it is a relatively normal physiological phenomenon, just take good care of the students who travel at night!" ”

Chen Wenli listened to my words, shook his head very depressedly, and said, "It's okay if one or two students go on a night tour, but the problem is that there are more than a hundred students on the night tour!" And the number of people is constantly increasing. ”

Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but be stunned, sleepwalking is not an infectious disease, how can there be so many students with night wandering at the same time on a campus.

It's no wonder that Chan Boon Lai is so nervous.

I asked, "Didn't the current principal go to the doctor and examine these children?" ”

Chen Wenli sighed and said, "After the inspection, the current principal Gao Xinping knew about it, and in the name of giving the students a physical examination, he asked all the students to go to the hospital for a physical examination. I also found an expert doctor, especially for those dolls who also had psychological counseling, but I couldn't find the reason. ”

Listening to Chen Wenli's description, a sentence came to my mind: the end of science is theology.

Although what the Ninth Master taught me did not belong to any theological category, it really cannot be explained by science.

"So, are there any other problems with these sleepwalking children now?"

Chen Wenli thought for a while and said: "I feel that those children are listless all day long, and many students with sleepwalking symptoms are very distracted in class, probably because they have not rested well when sleepwalking at night." ”

This situation is much easier for me to deal with, at least not before the lives of the students are threatened.

But then the old principal Chen Wenli's words made me feel shocked.

He said with a serious expression: "These more than 100 students, every late at night, they will sleepwalk to the playground. ”

I was secretly amazed that more than 100 students were sleepwalking, and all of them were gathered on the playground, which made me feel that things were a little scary.

Judging from the circumstances described by Chen Wenli, it is clear that the sleepwalking incident is not simple.

But it's strange to say, so many people sleepwalk, haven't they been discovered by others?

Thinking of this question, I asked Principal Chen Wenli: "Elder Chen, so many students are sleepwalking, except for you and Principal Gao Xinping, no one else knows?" ”

Chen Wenli said: "The teachers in the school were all given death orders and signed confidential documents, so that they could not publicize this matter to the outside world, and the students also had special measures to tell them not to spread the news." ”

I can't help but be secretly impressed that they do a good job of secrecy. If it weren't for the old principal Chen Wenli going to Jiu Ye to do something, even people like me who live in the town would not know that such strange and bizarre things had happened in the school, let alone those parents in the village.

Immediately, Chen Wenli sighed again and said: "However, paper can't contain fire, and we are worried that this matter will have a bad impact, so we hope to find out the problem as soon as possible." ”

As we spoke, we arrived at the entrance of the middle school.

Before I even stepped through the campus gates, I was dead in the school. It's only nine o'clock in the morning, and although there is the sound of reading aloud, it still makes the campus of Nuoda look particularly cold.

Principal Chen took out his mobile phone and dialed a call, and soon a person dressed in a black casual westward turned west ran over from the teaching building.
