Chapter XXXVIII

The man standing in the classroom was smoking against the window, unaware of me. I couldn't see his face, I didn't know who he was, I couldn't figure out why he was there at the moment, could it be that there was no one else but myself who hadn't found a dance partner? I rubbed my eyes and looked at it carefully, sweat inadvertently running down my face, and I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He took a few puffs and dropped the cigarette butt, which went out in mid-air. I wondered how he was dressed like him. The light in a classroom on the second floor suddenly turned on in the blink of an eye, and a figure appeared by the window, and the third floor was already dark at this time......

The lighter could not be turned on for a long time, my palms were hot, but the lighter that was turned off had no fire, and even if I tried my best, the lighter only made a haggard sound and did not have a little fire.

I was completely panicked and stopped thinking about the person. I began to be a little afraid of the wall, and even more afraid of running into him, and my steps gradually drifted away, and I ran into the depths of the woods.

The cry in my ears had disappeared, but it was fleeting and replaced by a sharp laughter that came to my ears, and the road of the six gods was uneven, and I fell down without stepping on one foot. There was a stone pressed against my back, and I took it out and tried to throw it aside, only to find that it was not a stone, but a flashlight, a toy flashlight.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but the thought only existed in my mind for five seconds, and then it turned into a fear, a deep fear.

I could see my surroundings through the glimmer of my flashlight, and I didn't want to believe that I was so unlucky to be here.

The place I was in was an open space, there were not many rocks and trees, and the stone slabs under my feet were smooth and smooth, and the feeling of the soles of my feet spread to my scalp, and I subconsciously retreated into the soft soil.

The scene in front of me was exactly what I had heard.

The words "burial area" rushed to my mind. It took eight lifetimes of bad luck to get to this place. Tonight was really interesting. As the name suggests, the place where you live is a cemetery. It's just a little different from the usual cemetery, and the stone monument covered in the ground and various toys scattered nearby can still be seen. Most of these toys look old, yellow, and tattered. Even the flashlight in his hand is just a toy flashlight for children. The doll's flashlight reflected the surrounding environment with a faint glow, illuminating the fear and anxiety in my heart, and the light spit out from the doll's mouth was like blood, and it was shocking everywhere.

Stone monuments can be seen everywhere, and there are all densely packed in front of and behind them. I know what is covered in it, and it is the custom in the village that children who are not allowed to be buried if they die before the age of twelve, this is the rule of the village for generations, and the villagers respect these dead lives in the deepest part of each mountain to commemorate the dead souls. Putting them all together is a companion. After a long time, this place has become a burial area, and it is also the place where the resentment is deepest, and countless children are being trampled under their feet at the moment.

Although I have no scruples about these customs, I still feel empty in my heart when I suddenly feel like "no offense, no offense," I silently recited a few words and continued to step back. His eyes never dared to leave the stone tablet in front of him, for fear that a child would suddenly come out of it.

The moon was surprisingly large now, and the moonlight was shining on the soles of my feet, and I suddenly realized that I could see my surroundings clearly without a flashlight. Throw away this obscure thing, I don't know it's the poor child's toy. As I stepped back and looked at the place, I felt like I had been there, but for a moment I couldn't remember when. After a few steps, when the root of the tree in the middle of the road appeared in front of me, I realized that this place was the small forest I had reached when I had a nightmare chasing the car. The roots of the tree were exactly the same as in the dream, yellow and tattered, without a trace of life. I thought of the woman, the woman who appeared in my dreams and kissed myself. Cold sweat began to break out on my back and I started to get a little hot, I took off my shirt and started running, praying that she wouldn't show up, never in my real life.

I was glad that after a period of running I found the wall, and returned to the same place, the wall that had scared me just now gave me a little hope, I continued to run along the wall, covering my ears and rushing forward, I will definitely get out, I will definitely go!

I was finally running to the end, and as I approached the gate, I looked back, hoping that the classmate who had jumped from the second floor hadn't been trapped in the woods. Maybe he's so quick that he's back to school, and it's impossible for me to go back to him.

"What? How did you get out? "The old man guarding the door recognized me, and shook the flashlight on me a few times.

"I ...... I took my leave in the morning and went home in the morning, and I'm only back at school now" In a hurry, I told this lie that I wouldn't believe myself.

Uncle didn't ask much after listening, not so much that he believed me when I said nonsense, I still believed that his uncle just didn't want to embarrass me, and opened the school gate for me to go back to the dormitory quickly, and the dormitory door would be closed later.

I politely thanked the old man and hurried to the school.

When I returned to the dormitory, I took a few special glances at the playground, but there was no one left, and Guilun probably finished running and went back.

Just in time for the dormitory to close, fortunately, everyone came to the dormitory to wash up and prepare to go to bed.

"Where have you been?" Wang Qiu was a little puzzled when he saw that I was panting and sweating profusely.

I still didn't tell the truth, so I made up a random excuse and said that I had something to do and went to wash.

"What else can you do with a single dog? Went on a date with a ghost? “

I don't want to pay attention to Wang Qiu's ridicule. The concern for Xiong Zi Xiaohei was also perfunctory, and I decisively decided to end tonight's story meeting, and I finally lay down.

That night I had a dream, a nightmare, in which I stayed in a dark place, unable to see anything clearly, except for the sound of crying and laughter until the next day's wake-up bell woke me up.

As always, I went to class, ate and studied, as if this dull day was about to pass, and the news from the evening self-study made me fall into fear again.

Someone died!

The body of a student was found under the school's teaching building, in the back hill where I fell yesterday. It's a student in a class on the second floor. Just now, the body had been claimed by the family and brought back.

The classmates began to talk about it, no wonder Mr. Li didn't come to supervise everyone's evening self-study today, it turned out that there was such a thing. How could a good student die in the back of the school? This matter has been fried in learning, and everyone has expressed their thoughts and speculations, and the truth seems to be in their mouths.

I became more and more uneasy, and called Wang Qiu's little black bear outside the classroom door to listen carefully to the ins and outs of this matter.

Although Wang Qiu was the most well-informed, his brain was a little insufficient to be asked by my successive questions, and he couldn't say anything for a while, and anxiously told me that he just knew that a student died, so he died under the teaching building, which he had just heard from the classmates on the second floor.

I asked Wang Qiu to take me to the second floor to find that classmate, and I wanted to hear what was going on.

Everyone didn't know what I was so interested in, and I didn't care about their doubts, so I repeatedly insisted that the king ball had to take me downstairs. We went to the second floor, and this room was right above our classroom, the one I saw a student jump from yesterday.

A classmate was called out by Wang Qiu. Wang Qiu told us that this was the classmate who told him the news.

The male classmate knew my intention, and when he saw that no one asked for a cigarette, he leaned on the balcony.

"The dead classmate is called Liu Gang, and he can be regarded as my good friend, after all, Liu Gang and I are in the same dormitory"

As soon as I heard Liu Gang's name, my heart trembled, I have seen the name Liu Gang a few times, and his name is in the ranking every year, often in front, for a long time, I once thought that this classmate named Liu Gang was my learning goal, his name has almost always been ranked in the top three of the grade list, and he is also the only male classmate except for me.

The male classmate cautiously smoked a cigarette and continued: "Liu Gang didn't go back to the dormitory last night, everyone was a little worried and told the dormitory teacher, at first we thought that this kid ran out, the dormitory teacher took us to look around the school and didn't find it, we think he should have something to go home, maybe he told the head teacher, he was a good student and wouldn't do anything bad, which we all know, so I thought about confirming this morning, Unexpectedly, the students who read early this morning felt that there was a bad smell near the classroom, a very special smell, so everyone followed the smell to find it, and found Liu Gang's body. He died on the big tree on the wall under the teaching building, and a good person died like this, don't you think it's strange? I overheard the conversation of the so-called doctors, as if they also thought it was strange, Liu Gang died very strangely, his body did not have a single scar, but the smell was surprising, like a corpse that had been rotting for a long time, and his eyes were still wide and his mouth was wide open. It's like I've been scared to death by something. “

Hearing this, Xiongzi's hairs stood on end, and he touched his arm. Wang Qiu yawned, Xiao Hei was expressionless, and I motioned for him to continue.

"Liu Gang, that guy is usually very weird, I haven't seen him study much, but his academic performance is amazing, he has always been in the top three, do you know? I've heard for a long time that the reason why he studied well was not because he worked hard, but because he made a deal with some things in the mountains, and maybe he was killed by those things this time."

I thought the more the kid talked, the more outrageous it became, and it didn't make much sense to say it any more, so I gave him a cigarette and told him to go back to the classroom.

"What's the matter. Now you know pretty much it, tell me why you're so interested? Wang Qiu glanced at me and knew that I was not a nosy person, so I must have something to do with myself.

I hesitated and told the story of yesterday from beginning to end, and the three of them were dumbfounded.

"No wonder your kid came back last night and was embarrassed, and I didn't want to tell the story, so I went to find excitement" Wang Qiu's words really made me cry and laugh.

"How? It's not hurt," Kumako cares as much as ever.

I smiled and nodded to indicate that I was fine.

"But according to what you say, this matter is too strange, I can't imagine that there is a burial area near the school, it's really disgusting" Xiao Hei heard that the whole person in the burial area was a little uncomfortable.

"Why are you so scared? Is it a man? Why don't we go on an adventure tonight? While the scene hasn't been destroyed, let's take a look? After sarcastic, Little Black King Qiu suddenly suggested that everyone should go and see what was going on.

Xiong Zi refused without even thinking about it, this is not a good thing, and if it is discovered, everyone will be punished. He wouldn't do such a mindless thing.

"Coward, Zhang Lian, you don't want to go, right? Let's let the bear give us the wind, let's see how about it? Anyway, it's still early," Wang Qiu grasped my curiosity, knowing that I wouldn't worry too much about it like a bear in order to get a good night's sleep.

I thought about it for a while, in fact, I was thinking about what to do about this matter, Xiong Zi Wang Qiu Xiaohei has a mobile phone, and he only needs to bring a few more flashlights, and there should be nothing wrong with coming back to see a soup according to the time.

Xiongzi listened to me and looked at my expression, knowing that he couldn't stop all this, and reminded us in every possible way to pay attention to safety, and he would always wait under the teaching building to let us out.

When I returned to the dormitory, I looked at the electric baton in the corner when I took the flashlight, and let him lie there quietly.

Just in time for everyone to gather and dance in the playground, I slipped to the classroom on the second floor and jumped from that classroom to the wall. Xiongzi stood on the first floor and looked at us worriedly.

"Call if you have something!" He was still reminding us uneasily, and after saying that, he watched us jump over.

It was getting dark, and Wang Qiu was shaking his flashlight, and there was not even a shadow of an animal in this place except for trees, rocks and small hills, not to mention how boring it was.

Smoking a cigarette, Wang Qiu patted me: "Where is the burial area you are talking about?" Take your grandfather Wang to see for a long time, I have heard of this place for the first time when I am so old."

I can't tell how to go, there are so many trees in this place, they all look the same, and I was lucky enough to find it yesterday because I was frightened and ran around, so it's really confusing to show myself the way.

"That kind of place is generally in the depths of the woods, where it is not easy to find, and the more gloomy the place, the easier it is to find it," Xiao Hei smoked a cigarette with a heavy face.

The three of us had been walking around the wall, just walking around without a clue. Listening to Xiao Hei suddenly say this was like a clear goal, at least he had to leave the fence and go into the woods to get closer to that place.

After walking for a while, I suddenly asked, "Didn't we come to find the place where that classmate died?" "Why did you take Wang Qiu to the Tibetan baby area for some reason?

"It's none of our business whether he dies or not, and I finally have to go to the fart baby area you said once, so it's exciting, what's there to see in the place where people die?" Wang Qiu's idea was agreed by Xiao Hei, and the places they were interested in were in the Tibetan baby area, and I began to feel a little regretful, regretting that I had told Wang Qiu about the baby burial area and brought him to find this place.

Wandering aimlessly in the woods, like a swarm of headless flies, fortunately, I didn't feel scared and uneasy with these two guys, but Wang Qiu's from time to time made me and Xiao Hei laugh for a while, and naturally I didn't notice the weirdness.

When we look back, we can't see the wall anymore, we've gone too far.

The sky was getting darker and darker, the atmosphere was getting quieter and quieter, and everyone didn't speak, silently shining a flashlight on the road ahead. The road to the dark and unknown is getting deeper and deeper, and the uneasy feeling in my heart is getting heavier and heavier, and the road behind me seems to be disappearing step by step.

"We're lost." This is the second sentence that Xiao Hei said along the way......
