Chapter 144: Elementary School
Anyone who has watched Liu Xin's live broadcast room cannot fail to know these high heels.
In order to reassure Ma Long, I hurriedly explained: "This is a prop, not true, and burning incense is just an auspicious picture, after all, we rely on it to become popular." ”
He still seemed a little skeptical when he heard me say this, but he didn't ask anything more.
It took us about two hours to drive and arrive at Shuiwa Village.
The whole village was surrounded by woods, with no road to it and no people, and it was very desolate.
We couldn't drive in, so we had to get down and walk, led by Marlon through a large wooded area.
The forest was full of lonely graves, some with tombstones, even missing a horn, and some were bare, without even weeds.
"When I was a child, the people in the village were buried in this forest when they died." Ma Long explained as he walked us through the cemetery: "That's why there are so many graves, I don't know if it's still like this." ”
I turned my head to look around, and suddenly noticed a child squatting among the mounds of graves.
The child's face was a little pale, his expression was cold, he squatted in front of a grave and did not know what he was doing, and when he noticed my gaze, he immediately got up and ran away.
"Is that the kid from the village?" I pointed to the child who ran away and asked Malone suspiciously: "Why are you alone in this place?" ”
He glanced at it and said, "Maybe it's someone's child, when I was young, Liu Xin and I also liked to come to this place to play, this kind of place can make children have a sense of adventure." ”
I didn't speak, but looked in the direction of the child's run in confusion, and I felt an indescribable strangeness.
After passing through the forest and coming to the village, you can see that there are not many residents in the village, many houses are empty, there is no one on the road, and only a few doors are still open.
"Turn left at the end of the road and you'll be to the school." My brother and I looked at the old houses on both sides of the road, which were very desolate, and many of the walls were still painted with various slogans from the past.
It's a very disturbing feeling, when a village is full of houses, but no one lives there, like an empty village.
Ma Long said: "How many people are willing to live in the village in this era, and those who can move have moved away, and this old house is left, that is, it will be demolished in the future, and it is estimated that it will lose a lot of money." ”
I didn't say anything, I walked along a straight road, and soon came to the end, turned left and walked a little more, and came to the school he was talking about.
This is an elementary school, the school is not big, it can even be said to be a little small, with less than two meters of walls on both sides, and it is painted with red paint, and the left wall says study hard, and the right side says every day.
The school gate was a fence-like black iron gate, rusty and yellow, with a lock hanging from the door.
Looking through the door, the school was barren, overgrown with weeds, and unusually desolate.
"Are you sure Liu Xin is here?" My brother looked at the deserted school with a puzzled face: "This doesn't look like a place where there are people." ”
Ma Long said uneasily: "The school was abandoned and closed eight years ago, and normal people will not come here, I just don't understand... Why did Liu Xin say that he came to find his sister? ”
"Do you know much about his sister?" I asked him if he could know anything.
He shook his head and said: "Not much, when Liu Tian died, we were still very young, and I had little contact with her, but I had the impression that she was a cute and lively girl." He paused, looked at the empty campus and said uneasily: "I'm just afraid that something will happen to Liu Xin." ”
"With us, nothing can happen." My brother patted him on the shoulder, walked to the wall and looked at it, and jumped up to the wall with two steps.
"It's useless to talk too much, let's go first." I climbed up behind my brother, and the wall was less than two meters high and could have been easily climbed over.
I jumped off the wall, and before I reached the ground, I found a row of lonely graves behind the wall.
"Grass!" At this time, it was too late to close his feet, and the whole person jumped to the grave impartially and stepped on it.
At the same time, my brother and Ma Long also jumped over, and when they saw the row of graves in front of them, their faces changed on the spot, and it was too late to put their feet away.
The two stepped on the two graves at the same time, and the three of them looked at each other, a little stunned.
"How can there be so many graves in the school?" My brother hurriedly jumped down from the grave and glared at Marlon.
He also scratched his head and said blankly: "This... I don't know... I heard that the school used to be built on a mound, but when we went to school, there was only one on the entire campus... How can there be so many now? ”
"Could it be that someone in the village died and was buried here?" An idea popped into my head.
"Probably not... Isn't this a cemetery for schools? "Marlon's face was very disturbed when he heard me say this.
I was afraid of scaring him, so I didn't say anything more, but my brother quickly understood what I meant, and given how much we had been through, it wasn't impossible.
Walking away from the grave, this campus is not big, standing in front of the teaching building and looking up, there are only six floors in total, and the whole building is full of fallen leaves.
Because we were looking for Liu Xin, we started from the first floor, where the classroom was unusually dim, and the small wooden desks were covered with dust.
There is still unerased handwriting on the blackboard, which gives people a strange feeling as if they are still in class.
"Liu Xin... Are you in there? Malone would ask every time he walked into a classroom, and the sound came into the empty classroom, causing a buzzing echo, as if someone was humming in a low voice.
I looked at all the classrooms on the first floor and found that they were all laid out in the same way, the only difference was the number of desks, some classrooms had more desks, and some had significantly fewer desks.
"When you first went to school, what grade was this classroom?" I asked Malone and found that the desks and chairs in these classrooms were very small.
He thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be the first grade, because at that time it was the only elementary school in several villages, from the first floor to the sixth floor, that is, from the first grade to the sixth grade. ”
When my brother heard him say this, he suddenly interjected: "I remember you said before that Liu Xin's sister fell from the third floor, right?" So, she was only in the third grade at the time? ”
"Yes, at that time, we were in the fifth grade, and his sister was two years younger than Liu Xin, just in the third grade." Malone affirmed.
"Then let's go straight to the third floor." My brother doesn't like to beat around the bush, so he just goes straight to the third floor.
I followed, and the fat boy suddenly said, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”
"What's wrong?" When I heard him say this, I immediately stopped.
It didn't answer immediately, but looked around with a wary gaze: "I always feel like someone is watching us. ”
I looked around and didn't speak, my brother had already run to the second floor at this time, Ma Long saw me stop, and wondered, "Why don't you leave?" ”
"You go up first, I'll wait." I walked down the stairs and looked around vigilantly, and when the fat boy said this, it seemed that there was really such a feeling, very strong, as if I was being secretly followed.
I thought about it, took out a bottle from my pocket, let it out, and said, "You are small in size, not easy to detect, keep guarding here, if there is really anyone, come to me immediately." ”
Hearing this, he spun around twice, then found a corner and hid.
I turned and went upstairs, and soon caught up with my brother and Malone, who were already on the third floor.
"If Liu Tian really came back from purgatory, then after she comes out, she will definitely come to the place where she died, that is, the third layer." I was thinking about it, walking down the third floor of the aisle, when I saw Malone suddenly stop in front of a classroom door, and five words were written on the door: Class 4 of the third grade.
"Liu Tian fell from here in the first place." Malone pointed to the railing in front of the class and told me
"She was a student in Class 4, and she was standing on the railing after class, but the railing broke, and she fell straight down. ”
I looked at the railing in front of me and reached out to touch it, which had become cold from years of desolation.
Instead of speaking, my brother reached out and tried to pull open the window of the fourth-class classroom.
Seeing this, Malone asked him what he was doing?
My brother didn't open it for a long time, and the windows were locked from the inside, and he frowned impatiently: "I want to see if there are still people in class inside." ”
