All doors and windows were sealed, as if something was sealed inside the building. The aisles on the first floor are covered with a thin layer of fallen leaves, and most of the classrooms on both sides are closed doors and windows, and the old-fashioned open iron windows cannot block our vision at all, and the messy desks, chairs, and waste paper and garbage in the classrooms can be seen at a glance, covered with a thick layer of dust, and some traces of chalk are still retained on the cracked blackboard, which is clearly visible from the dust.

Zhao Kunan walked inside with great interest, while talking with the people around him about the method of warding off evil spirits and exorcism, pretending to know everything.

Most of his statements come from word of mouth, and the old man often mentions them when telling stories.

But several others listened with relish, full of curiosity and interest.

Cheng Xuan followed me and whispered to me if he was right.

Noncommittal, she really seemed to unconsciously treat me as a professional.

At the top of the staircase was a rusty iron door, the chain lock on which had been completely deformed, and the forehead seal had been torn off. It was evident that someone had beaten it with a hammer, and there were some worn-out bamboo brooms and mops that were almost corroded and broken in the corners.

Zhao Kunan stepped forward and pulled the chain lock, only to hear a crisp click, the lock opened, he pushed open the door, and let out a piercing squeak, and the two voices echoed in the corridor, gradually spreading throughout the building.

A biting chill suddenly spread across my back, causing goosebumps all over my body. I looked to the left and right with great alertness, but I could see nothing but the inky darkness.

It only then occurred to me that most ghosts can't be seen with ordinary eyes! Even the master and godfather have to use rootless water!

I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, and in the end I forgot the most important thing......

I can't get rootless water, but Master said that cow tears and dew can be used, and I can get both things in the village.

Alas...... No, there's one more thing, Willow Leaf! That's right! There are willow trees in the school!

Just as Zhao Kunan was about to go in, I suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute! ”

I startled everyone when I made a sound, and the three girls almost screamed, Zhao Kunan was annoyed and angry, turned his head and shouted at me: "What are you doing!" If you don't dare, go back! Surprised, sick! It seems that he is not as bold as he himself says, but only pretending.

I snorted at him, and then said to everyone, "Wait a minute, I forgot something, five minutes, uh, no, three minutes." ”

With that, I turned around and ran out.

I remember there were a few old willow trees in the school, and the nearest one was nearby. After I found it, I didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, I just picked a wicker, and turned back.

Before I got closer, I heard a few people arguing, Zhao Kunan thought that I had run away and would not go back, so he was ready to leave me in, but Cheng Xuan refused, he had to wait for me, and Yuan Mingsen and Xia Xiaozhong also felt that I was going to run away, and quarreled with Zhao Kunan and Cheng Xuan, and in the face of the opposition of her best friend, Cheng Xuan was also very angry, feeling that Xia Xiaozhong was her good friend, but she was not on her side.

Xia Xiaozhong directly accused Cheng Xuan and said: "You are a vixen, relying on your beauty to make the boys in the class treat you well, no one will look at me and ignore me when I am with you." Look at your coquettishness and let Lin Yunyi protect you willingly, hum, it's not fair! I've been upsetting you for a long time! Coquette! ”

Cheng Xuan was speechless for a moment, and within a few seconds, her slight crying voice came. The sudden blow from a friend was too much for her to bear.

It was only at this time that someone spoke out to comfort Xia Xiaozhong and asked Xia Xiaozhong to say a few words. However, this kind of persuasion made Xia Xiaozhong even more invivable, accusing Cheng Xuan of not being right.

I know, no matter what, it's understandable to quarrel as friends, like me and the ruffian, occasionally have a dispute, and it is possible to fight, but we will not speak ill of each other, and we will not attack each other's sore spots, this is the bottom line of friendship, once it is pierced, then this relationship will be completely worn out.

I can't understand how Xia Xiaozhong said such vicious words, or whether the relationship between girls is indeed different from that between boys. But I am extremely angry at her words, which are an insult to others and a trampling on feelings!

Could it be that her friendship with Cheng Xuan in the past six years is so fragile as ice?

And her so-called injustice is not out of jealousy, she can't get the attention and favor of others, but she blames Cheng Xuan for all the blame, which is too self-righteous.

I don't know what Cheng Xuan's heart is, but in our class, both the students and the teachers like her very much, and she is easy-going, but sometimes she is a little cowardly and introverted, and she doesn't take the initiative to get close to people, so there are not many people who really have a good relationship with her.

At this time, I appeared with a wicker, but my face was gloomy and terrible, I walked over, stood beside Cheng Xuan, who couldn't suppress the sadness in my heart, and stared at Xia Xiaozhong tightly, until she was too weak to look me in the eyes, I spoke: "If you want to make a noise, just go home for me, don't be embarrassed here!" ”

"Hey! Lin Yunyi! What kind of boss are you pretending! I'm the captain! Do you really think of yourself as a green onion? You just ran out and told everyone to wait for you, just to pick such a wicker? What the hell are you doing! Xia Xiaozhong was just about to speak, Zhao Kunan jumped out and pointed at me and shouted.

I glanced at him, didn't care about the jumping clown at all, stuffed the wicker into my bag, then took out a tissue and handed it to Cheng Xuan, and said to her: "Don't cry, some friends, don't do it, from now on, I will be your friend." ”

Cheng Xuan was slightly stunned when she heard this, raised her eyes and glanced at me, her eyes were soaked with tears, like a lake reflecting the moonlight, which made my heart move slightly, I hurriedly looked away, and scratched my head embarrassedly.

At this time, the boy from the school who saw my cloth bag and jumped eyebrows came over and diverted our attention, he licked his lips and said in a voice that only Cheng Xuan and I could hear, "That...... Hello, can you give me two willow leaves as well? ”

I frowned, looked him up and down, and felt that there was nothing special, the same age as me, but there was a hint of heroism between my eyebrows, and my eyes were bright.

Could it be that they are like-minded?

I didn't speak, I took out two pieces and handed them to him, he took them carefully, and then said, "Thank you, that, can you tell me how to use it?" ”

My eyebrows twitched slightly, realizing that he did know what the willow leaf did, but he didn't seem to know how to use it.

Being able to meet people in the same way really makes me overjoyed, and I feel like I have met my old acquaintance in a foreign country, but I will not be close to him in front of everyone, after all, some identities are mysterious and cannot be let others know casually.

So I whispered in his ear: "Wet it with saliva and stick it on your eyelids, but the willow leaves can't break." ”

He smiled and nodded, thanked me again, and put the willow leaf back in his pocket.

His series of actions made everyone else look inexplicable, Zhao Kunan asked him quietly, and he didn't know what reason he used to fool the past, anyway, Zhao Kunan didn't ask more.

Cheng Xuan was also occupied by curiosity, and asked me what the willow leaves were used for while wiping away her tears.

I smiled faintly and said, "I think it's better if you don't know." ”

Cheng Xuan pursed her lips, was silent for a few seconds, and then asked in a low voice, "You said that you are my friend, are you serious?" ”

"Really, sincerely!" I smiled lightly.

Cheng Xuan's face instantly turned red again.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through the bushes, whining, like the howl of a wolf at midnight, which made people's hearts tremble, and instantly pressed everyone's breath in their throats. My hair exploded in an instant.

I took a flashlight and shot the light to the other floors of the school building for a moment, and there was no movement except for the famous quotes in the hallways.

Just as I was about to take back my flashlight, suddenly a window on the east side of the second floor opened slowly and silently.

The flashlight shot at that location and my heart started beating wildly.

Because of the light of my flashlight, everyone saw it, and the silence, the terrible silence engulfed us for a time.

One second, two seconds, three seconds......

For half a minute, my heart was beating as I counted the seconds, but the rest of the day, there was no movement.

At this time, Zhao Kunan let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's the wind!" ”

But in the face of such a situation, some people began to be afraid, Xia Xiaozhong said in a trembling voice: "Otherwise, we ...... Go back, it feels horrible. ”

I raised my hands in favor of her proposal.

"Hey, there are no ghosts in this world at all, what are you afraid of, it's just the wind blowing," Zhao Kunan said with an indifferent expression, "Let's go up to the rooftop, and then come down, and go back!" The girls in the province were frightened. ”

"Good!" The remaining boys agreed, and then patted their chests and told the other girls that they would protect them.

My hand reached into the sack, and I wondered if I should use the willow leaf right away.

Master said that people and ghosts do not belong to the same world, ordinary people can't see ghosts, and their eyes are not pure, so it is not easy to provoke ghosts, but once you use a special method and see a ghost, then there is no doubt that the ghost will also notice that you see him, so it is equivalent to touching certain taboos, forming cause and effect, making it easy for ghosts to entangle you, so no matter who it is, including cultivators, they will not use things like cow tears casually, unless they are forced to do so.

After thinking about it, I decided not to use it for the time being, I think because I use willow leaves to make some ghosts target us, then it really outweighs the loss.

We went up the stairs under the leadership of Zhao Kun'an, and after some quarrels, we formed three groups of people before and after, Zhao Kun'an took the lead, Yuan Mingsen and Xia Xiaozhong followed him, and the three people from the outer school got together and followed them, Cheng Xuan and I were at the end, Cheng Xuan was in the front, I was at the end, and it was also the last of the whole team.

The thick dust on the stairs was raised under our trampling, and it was inevitable that the nose was itchy and unbearable when inhaled, so that we couldn't help but sneeze, and the messy footprints we left on the stairs were also exceptionally clear, and there was silence all around, only our chaotic footsteps and intermittent sneezing echoed repeatedly in the corridor as if amplified.

I glanced back at the house, and saw a thin layer of fog slowly rising, gradually enveloping the grove outside.
