Chapter 11: The Search for the Red Rope
When the bell rang for the end of class, the teacher who was halfway through the lecture stopped, said "class" directly, and then packed up his things. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
I have to say that the school is still commendable, never procrastinate the students' class time, unlike some schools where the bell has already sounded, and the teacher who lectures completely disregards the need to finish this question, and when you finish the class bell rings, what do you do with those students who are holding their pee?
After class, I lied that I was going to the toilet and asked Wellin to walk first, and then walked in the direction of the toilet.
Teaching buildings generally do not have only one stairwell, our teaching building is two stairwells on the left and right sides of the teaching building, and the toilets are also built separately on both sides, the men's toilet is on the left and the women's toilet is on the right.
The corridor leading to the cafeteria is on the right, and if you go down the stairs from the left, you have to go to the side, so that whenever you get to the meal, the stairs on the right are often congested, and the stairs on the left are idle but few people walk.
I walked towards the men's toilet on the left, and after thinking about it, Huang Siyu shouldn't have gone so quickly, so I really went to the toilet to relieve my little hands, and then walked down the stairs on the left.
Descending to the first floor, I looked to the right and walked down the hallway to the dining hall with a still black crowd.
As mentioned earlier, the construction of the third high school teaching building is on the high ground, so our first floor is equivalent to the second floor of the first and second high school teaching buildings.
There is a small staircase in front of me, and from there you will go down to a place called the Geographical Garden, which is actually a globe made of plastic, and a so-called world map made of a bunch of plastic, the continental section. Beyond the geographical garden, you can reach the teaching building of the first and second years of high school, and then walk a few more steps through this teaching building to the playground.
It may sound complicated, but it took me less than five minutes to get to the playground through these buildings.
The playground is very quiet, everyone is in a hurry to eat at this time, and generally no one comes here, and there is no shadow of Huang Siyu on the playground, so he must still be on the way over.
The midday sun is very warm, and there will be bursts of spring breeze from time to time when it has just entered spring, and with such sunshine, people have a lazy feeling, and the mood will slowly become comfortable.
I squinted slightly to enjoy the sunlight when I heard a somewhat flustered footstep coming from far and near.
When I opened my eyes and looked over, I saw Huang Siyu's panting petite figure running to me, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her pale yellow hair stuck to her face, which had a messy beauty.
He exhaled deeply, pulled his hand through the sweat-clinged hair, and looked at me as he explained intermittently because of his wheezing: "Just now... My friend is not ... It's hard to drag me to dinner with you. . . Find a reason to get out and get out of the cafeteria... Run over here ... I'm exhausted. ”
I was a little speechless.
After waiting for her to rest for a while, and seeing that she didn't catch her breath like she had just done, I asked her where to find the red rope she had dropped.
She told me that she had searched all the places she passed yesterday, but she had not found the old school building, and she did not dare to go in to find it alone.
When I heard that I was going to the old school building, I hesitated, and since I came out of that place, I had a feeling that I didn't want to go in again, but when I saw Huang Siyu looking at me expectantly, I couldn't say anything about refusal.
In the end, the words only turned into two faint words: "Let's go." ”
Walking with Huang Siyu on the way to the old school building, because people flocked to the canteen, it was difficult to see people around, it seemed very quiet, I walked in front Huang Siyu followed me, and the two of them fell into the silence of the past.
The atmosphere was dull, I didn't like this atmosphere very much, so I took the initiative to tease Huang Siyu: "I'm curious why you didn't go to Wang Kai to help you find something, I think he would definitely be happy to ask for this kind of request." ”
Huang Siyu replied depressedly: "I went to his class to look for him, but he didn't seem to come to class today." ”
"Aren't you in the same class as him?" I asked, a little confused.
Huang Siyu glanced at me with her moving beauty: "When did I say that he is in the same class as me, he and Xie Jun are in the fourth class." ”
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that she didn't say that Wang Kai was in the same class as her, but my own subjective consciousness thinks so.
Slowly, she and I walked to the iron gate leading to the old school building, although there were few people on the playground, there were still a few people to see, and after walking here, there was really no one to see.
"Huh?"
I let out a puzzled voice and walked quickly to the large iron gate.
"Did anyone close the iron door when you left?" I asked Huang Siyu.
No wonder I asked, because the iron door in front of me was firmly locked, but the lock that I had picked was gone.
Huang Siyu shook his head and said: "At that time, everyone was frightened, where was there time to close the iron gate, they all left directly." ”
Then Huang Siyu said: "Could it be that the security guards or teachers who patrol the school saw it and closed it?" ”
I thought about it, and there was indeed such a possibility, so I didn't think about it anymore.
"Hurry up and go in and look for it, if you find it early, you can go over and have a meal before the canteen collects the food." I opened the iron door and said to Huang Siyu.
When I came here during the day, I didn't feel the same nervousness as when I came at night, maybe it was the strong sunshine that gave me courage.
Took Huang Siyu through the iron gate, the scene behind the iron gate was exactly the same as what we saw at night, but there was a lack of a gloomy feeling, the narrow bluestone path stretched all the way into the woods, and there was no end in sight.
"Let's start looking from here, and I'll look all the way to the route I ran out last night, if not...
I didn't say the rest of the words, Huang Siyu took my words with a gloomy look: "If not, then I can only forget it, then maybe God doesn't want me to find it again." ”
I didn't speak, I lowered my head and started to look down the path.
Red ropes like the ones tied to her feet were usually small, and looking for them in this overgrown woods was like looking for a needle in a haystack, but I couldn't say it, and it shattered her last hope.
So the two of us began to search in a carpet way, and when we saw anything covered, we would open it and take a look, and if we saw something similar, we would pick it up and take a look.
From time to time, the sunlight in the woods would come in, and it was noon, so the line of sight could be seen clearly.
Searching all the way, we have walked half of this path, but we still found nothing, I gradually ran out of patience, Huang Siyu followed closely behind me and searched very seriously all the way, and did not speak.
As I walked forward, a sudden burst of light pierced my eyes.
Looking ahead, there seemed to be something on the ground not far ahead reflecting the sun's rays.
Curious, I walked over and saw that something like a card had fallen on the ground, so I picked it up.
After Huang Siyu behind me followed me, he saw that I was holding something like a card in my hand, and he didn't see what it was, so he asked me curiously, "What is this?" ”
I handed her the thing: "Wang Kai's school card." ”
There is a one-inch photo on it, the person in the photo is Wang Kai who just saw him yesterday and will not be mistaken, and it is written below that Wang Kai, the third and fourth classes of high school, the fifth high school in T City, and the steel seal of the school's academic affairs office on it.
Fifth High School is the name of our school.
Huang Siyu took the school card and looked at it, and said in surprise: "It's really his school card, why is his school card here, did it fall yesterday?" ”
I don't know, because Huang Siyu and I were the first to rush out yesterday, but it should have been at that time, after all, we were only here last night.
gave the school card to Huang Siyu and asked her to hand it over to Wang Kai the next time she saw him.
"Further ahead is the old school building, do we still have to move forward?"
I didn't want to get any closer to there in my heart, so I asked Huang Siyu's opinion.
Huang Siyu's eyes also shrank, and the footsteps she was about to take suddenly stopped, obviously she didn't want to get closer, her expression seemed to be struggling, and soon she said hesitantly: "Let's look for it further, anyway, we won't go out of this forest, if there is no one in front, let's go back." ”
Obviously, the determination to find the red rope overcame the fear in his heart, Huang Siyu still said without giving up.
I can only nod, I have already promised to help her find it, I naturally have to follow her choice, since she still wants to continue to look for me, I have no reason to retreat, as a man, this basic quality still needs to be had.
So Huang Siyu and I continued to search forward.
I don't know if it's my delusion, but I always feel that the more I go inside, the darker and darker it gets, and the more uncomfortable my body becomes, as if I have returned to the feeling I had last night, and it's just because the trees here are denser, blocking the sunlight that seeps in.
A spring breeze blew, and the surrounding trees began to "rustle", which made my body shiver for no reason.
Huang Siyu because her attention is on finding things, so she doesn't feel strange around her, if she usually might have been afraid to hide around me, she is now looking for a lot faster than me, and unconsciously has walked in front of me.
As we approached the old schoolhouse, I could already see the light at the exit of the woods, the same one we had taken out of the woods last night to the old schoolhouse.
Perhaps because of the psychological suggestion, the closer I got to the old school building, the more the image I saw last night flashed in my mind, the dish moving slowly on its own and the hairless head with its eyes still smiling at me.
I stopped, and was about to call Huang Siyu, who was concentrating on finding something in front, when I heard her surprised voice.
"Ah, I found it!"
