Chapter 18: The reunion is always in September

After helping Hua Lili clean up the bed, Hao Yunlai also failed to see her other three roommates. It is said that two of them are soaking in the library, preparing for the graduate school entrance examination in three months, and the other has followed his tutor to the northwest to conduct a folk culture survey.

Outside the window, at sunset, a touch of rose red spreads at the junction of the distant mountains and the sky. There was no light on in the house, it was a little dim, Hao Yunlai climbed down the dark green iron frame, and squinted to see the girl leaning on the edge of the door frame, calmly playing mobile games, and suddenly remembered their first encounter three years ago.

Hao Yunlai is a native of Nanzhou City, and his place of residence is not far from Nanzhou University, which can be reached by 20 minutes by bus, so he has never lived on campus and has always been a day student. At the beginning of the freshman year, on a morning with class, Hao Yunlai fell asleep because of willpower problems, woke up, picked up his mobile phone, and saw that there were still thirty minutes before class. She jumped out of bed with a carp, rinsed her mouth indiscriminately, wiped her face and ran towards school.

By the time she broke into the classroom, the teacher had already begun to take roll calls, and she cautiously opened the back door and crept to sit in the last row. The scent of roses came from his side, Hao Yunlai turned his head, and a long-haired girl was putting her hands under the table, concentrating on playing a mobile game that has become very popular in recent days. With a high nose and deep eyes, the girl's facial features are very three-dimensional, Hao Yunlai recognizes her, her name is Hua Lili, and she is her classmate.

Hao Yunlai pushed Hua Lili with his elbow in a ghostly manner, "When did the teacher start the roll call?" ”

"At first." Hua Li didn't raise his head.

Seeing that people didn't care about their own meaning, Hao Yunlai consciously took out a copy of "Introduction to Folklore" from his schoolbag, and then held his chin and waited for the teacher to click on him.

Dotting and pointing, Hao Yunlai felt that something was wrong.

The teacher has called the names of most of the class, why haven't I even heard a familiar name.

Hua Lili suddenly raised his head and cursed in a low voice, "Hold the grass!" Gone to the wrong classroom! ”

"Huh?" Hao Yunlai's back stiffened.

Hua Lili picked up his bag and rushed out of the classroom without saying a word, making a lot of noise.

The teacher, who was still on the podium, looked inexplicably at the wide open back door, and after a few seconds, continued the roll call as if nothing had happened. At this time, another figure jumped in outside the door, pulling Hao Yunlai away along with her teaching materials, and it was another big move.

"I'm also convinced that I can meet people who go to the wrong classroom like me." Hua Lili pulled Hao Yunlai and walked forward in a hurry, chattering non-stop.

By the time I finally got into the right classroom, the lesson was two-thirds of the way through. Then, in full view of everyone, Hao Yunlai and Hua Lili were driven into the corridor by the teacher of that class, who was the famous exterminator who was feared by the students of the whole school, and stood in the corridor for twenty minutes.

Their revolutionary friendship was forged from that time.

"I'm leaving." Hao Yunlai stepped on the ground and picked up the long-handled black umbrella leaning against the table.

Hua Lili frantically pressed the shooting button on the screen, "Okay, don't forget the extermination teacher's class tomorrow morning." ”

Hao Yunlai opened the bedroom door, "Don't forget." ”

***

Hao Yunlai wanted to take the bus home, so he had to start from the northernmost girls' dormitory, bypassing the entire campus, to reach the stop opposite the main entrance of the school. As a qualified senior student, Hao Yunlai took a shortcut and chose to cross the northern mountains, so that he could save more than ten minutes of travel.

Even if it is full of thorns, the mountain road is difficult to walk.

It is not so much a mountain at the foot of Hao Yunlai, but rather a small hill, not too high or too steep, but there is not much road on it. The half-meter-wide yellow mud path was stepped out by the professors of the College of Forestry when they took the students to recognize the plants.

The moonlight was cold, Hao Yunlai held his mobile phone and walked cautiously along the path, for fear of stepping on some natural treasures, strange flowers and plants.

"Sha-sha-"

In addition to the sound of his own footsteps and the chirping of insects on a summer night, Hao Yunlai heard other sounds. She stopped, pricked up her ears and listened, the rustling sound becoming more and more distinct, like the sound of digging into the ground.

Hao Yunlai raised his mobile phone and shone it in the direction where the voice came from.

On the brightened bushes, a dark shadow was reflected.

She moved her phone down slightly, and saw that the real body of the black shadow was a girl with her back to her, squatting on the ground and working hard.

"Classmate, what are you doing?" Hao Yunlai pushed aside the branches in front of him and approached the girl, "The plants here are all valuable for research, and they can't be picked at will." ”

As if she hadn't heard, the girl still swung her shovel with all her might.

Seeing that the girl didn't listen to the dissuasion, Hao Yunlai squatted down angrily, and was particularly unfriendly to shine the mobile phone light on her side face, and when she was about to open her mouth to reprimand, she caught a glimpse of the girl's familiar eyebrows, and instantly changed her head, "Roman? ”

Roman is Hua Lili's roommate and Hao Yunlai's classmate.

Isn't she supposed to study in the library? Why are you digging here?

Could it beβ€”

Too poor?

Hao Yunlai patted Roman on the shoulder, "Roman, what are you doing?" ”

The girl named Roman still didn't respond, just blindly repeating the movements in her hands.

Hao Yunlai suddenly felt strange.

At this time, as if he had discovered something, Roman threw down his shovel and desperately ploughed the earth with his hands. After a while, she excitedly picked up a boxy transparent plastic bag from the soil.

By the light of the flashlight, Hao Yunlai saw that the plastic bag contained a square white sheet with a string of numbers written on it, which should be a date.

Hao Yunlai leaned forward slightly, trying to see the specific date. With some sand on the clear plastic bag, she dusted off the impurities and finally got what she wanted.

19940612。

It's just that there seems to be a face on the other side of the bag that is gradually approaching her, becoming clearer and clearer......

No! That's not a face!

It's a pair of dry bones!

Hao Yunlai immediately pulled out the black umbrella behind his back and opened it in a panic. The waning moon didn't know when it got into the thick clouds, and at this moment, there was no trace of natural light in the world where Hao Yunlai was. Only the runes on the black umbrella above his head, glowing with a faint golden light, blocked the white-boned ghost.

The white bones knocked on the umbrella viciously, and Hao Yunlai was defenseless and couldn't fight for a long time, so he had to grab a handful of five-colored beans from his bag and throw them forward. The scattered beans of all colors burned the bones and retreated, Hao Yunlai took the opportunity to pull Roman up and ran down the mountain in a panic.

At the foot of the mountain, Roman's consciousness recovered, she broke free from Hao Yunlai, and asked out of breath, "Hao ...... Hao Yunlai...... You...... What are you pulling me to run? ”

Seeing that the white bones did not chase after her, Hao Yunlai finally put down the heart she was carrying, she wiped a handful of cold and hot sweat on her forehead, and replied breathlessly, "You...... You forget...... What just happened...... What's up? ”

"Just now...... What happened? I just ...... Reading in the library...... I fell asleep when I watched it...... Why are you here all of a sudden? ”

It seems that this Nizi doesn't remember anything.

Hao Yunlai glanced at Roman's hand forked around his waist, but did not find the small plastic bag, thinking that it had fallen on the mountain. Hey, it's useless to talk to her. Hao Yunlai took a deep breath, "You were sleepwalking just now. ”

β€œWhatοΌŸβ€

Hao Yunlai nodded unusually sincerely, "I dug on the side of the road like crazy, and said that you want to eat soil while digging, but fortunately I found it in time and pulled it away for you." ”

Roman had a look on his face, "You treat me as mentally retarded".

"I don't believe it, look at your fingernails, it's all mud."

Roman looked down and saw that the evidence was ironclad.

***

The shadow brought by the white bones was entrenched in Hao Yunlai's dream, staging an extremely fierce pursuit picture. That night, she didn't sleep well at all.

The next day, when Hua Lili saw her like this, he laughed viciously.

"What do you think is terrible about this ghost? You're a lot scarier than they are. ”

"Don't talk cool here, if you want to change to me, maybe I'm so scared that I pee my pants every day." Hao Yunlai lifted the lid and stirred the coffee in the paper cup.

Hua Lili covered his lips and smiled, very contrived, "It's also, Zifei fish, the joy of Anzhi fish?" I drank too much water and went to the toilet. ”

"Go, go, hurry, class is coming soon."

The wall clock on the wall ticked and ticked, and there were fewer and fewer empty seats in the classroom, Hao Yunlai took a sip of coffee and muttered in surprise, "Why are there so many people who choose teachers to take classes this time?" ”

"Hello classmate, can I sit here?"

A girl in a pink dress pointed to the seat next to Hao Yunlai.

"Absolutely." Hao Yunlai hurriedly moved the schoolbag on the next seat to a drawer to make room for the girl.

"Thank you."

"It's over, it's over!" At the same time as Hua Lili strode into the classroom, the loud class bell rang, "Hao Yunlai!" We're in the wrong classroom again! ”

"What did you say?!"

"I saw Mrs. Shi in the classroom next door!"

Hao Yunlai's facial muscles twitched stiffly a few times, and the steely truth told her that the bad habit of going to the wrong classroom is hard to change, unless you don't have to go to school again.

Hao Yunlai reflexively swept the things on the table into his schoolbag.

"Where are you going?" The girl next to her turned to look at her.

Hao Yunlai hunched over and was about to leave his seat, "We went to the wrong classroom." ”

Hua Lili poked his neck out in confusion, "Who are you talking to?" ”

"The girl sitting next to us." Between the words, Hao Yunlai caught a glimpse of a string of tattoos on the girl's collarbone, and suddenly an alarm bell rang out in his heart.

That string of tattoos is, 19940612.

The girl's face was no longer smiling gently, and inch by inch of skin and flesh were gradually peeled off from top to bottom, revealing the white bones.

Hao Yunlai trembled and covered his mouth.

Then.

"The student in the back, please sit down and go to class."

The low, clear male voice suddenly penetrated into Hao Yunlai's ear, and she suddenly raised her head.

The reunion is always in September.
