Chapter 7: The Book of Life and Death
Several police cars and ambulances drove into Yudu No. 5 Middle School, and under the flashing red and blue lights, the bright No. 5 Middle School seemed to be much darker. The sirens repeated over and over again, and the people who had been busy taking pictures just now put away their phones and dispersed to make way.
"You just called the police?" A policeman stepped out of the car.
Lin Yan said in a panic while guiding the way for him, "It's downstairs in the Three Sects!" ”
The cordon was raised, and soon, the scene was blocked by the police officers who came one after another, dispersing some onlookers, and the forensic doctor was identifying the body......
Ye Xing couldn't suppress his curiosity, and like other people who "didn't listen to commands", he reluctantly watched this scene from a little distance.
Of course, he was not only looking at the deceased, but also the uniformed policemen, and in his heart, the profession of the police was full of awe and sacredness, and to be precise, seeing them was like seeing a hero coming.
It's an amazing feeling...... Very yearning......
After a long time, Ye Xing looked around behind him, and some people were still holding their mobile phones to take pictures, probably coming later, at this time, he realized something, "Huh? Where is she? ”
Li Yingying didn't know when she had left this place, Ye Xing couldn't help but feel a little lost, after all, they should be the first people to witness this tragedy. In technical terms, "eyewitnesses".
Thinking of this, Ye Xing was a little embarrassed, her embarrassed appearance just now was actually seen by her, if she hadn't suddenly pulled herself up, it was estimated that she would still be squatting in place, fighting with her legs.
In fact, there are two reasons for being afraid, one is that it is the first time I have seen such a terrible thing, and the other is that I have a fear of heights......
There were no acquaintances around, and after a while, there was no novelty, and there was no companion, Ye Xing planned to turn around and leave. But when he took the first step, he seemed to step on something hard, and his left foot hurt for a while.
"Damn."
He squatted down and rubbed his ankles, raised his feet slightly, and the expression of surprise was on his face! The hard thing I stepped on just now would actually be a hand/gun!!
The next day, it was another cloudless morning, and the scene of last night's tragedy had been cleaned up, and the three sects where the accident occurred were being repaired. The accident seems to have occurred due to the glass window that had not been replaced in time, but this was only the result of a preliminary investigation.
Thankfully, everything is still so calm at the school. If it weren't for a white/pastel figure left under the Sanjiao Building, no one would have dared to believe that just last night, there was a terrible murder here.
The seven-day military training for recruits officially came to an end, and in addition to the graduating senior high school students, the other senior high school freshmen and sophomores, as well as junior high school students, were all packing their luggage and preparing to go home to rest, and classes officially began three days later.
The summer has passed, and the noisy cicada chirping, unconsciously, has left everyone's ears, and the summer seems to convey the news of the end.
At the corner of the main road on campus, the leaves on the ginkgo tree already have green and yellow patches.
Li Yingying likes to walk on the campus avenue of Yudu No. 5 Middle School, in addition to being able to watch the golden color of the early morning, there is also the smell of grass in the air.
Stretching out his fingertips, he wanted to touch it, only to find that he was still holding the last year's college entrance examination review book in his hand.
Li Yingying goes to the classroom with Deng Liyun every day, and today is naturally no exception.
From the dormitory building to the Four Sects, there is only one distance from the Colored Brick Square, and when you walk out of the spacious and charming Colored Brick Square, you will find the dreamy, golden shade of the camphor tree, and then the edges and corners of the Four Sects.
On the way, Deng Liyun dropped a pen, and when she was about to squat down to pick it up, Li Yingying, who was wearing a ponytail, had already flexibly picked it up and stuffed it back into Deng Liyun's book.
The moment she leaned over just now, Li Yingying's delicate side face was blocked by a ponytail, but she still saw Ye Xing walking slowly behind her through the gap in her hairline.
"Eh, classmate Ye Xing!"
Ye Xing suddenly ran out of his trance, and when he heard Li Yingying calling him, he paused slightly, "Huh? ”
Then, Li Yingying walked over to him, her steps were light, but extremely fast, and said, "You ...... yesterday."
When Ye Xing heard this, her body couldn't help but tremble, what did she want to say? I stalk her? Tailgating her? Stealing her love letters? Or vomiting and shivering? ……
"Hurry up, it's time for class!"
When she came back to her senses, Li Yingying had already walked away, and Deng Liyun whispered, laughing for a while, walking for a while, Ye Xing couldn't hear clearly, what were they talking about! Is it embarrassing him?
"Last night, heavy rain fell in the southern cities of the province, all the rivers burst their banks, and some villages were flooded......
There was no teacher in the first class, but the sound of the radio suddenly echoed in the classroom.
"I'll let you say, I'll let you say!"
"Don't dare, don't dare, Brother Xing......" Zhu Qilin's armpits itched, "Let me go...... Ha ha...... Leave me alone......"
Li Yingying listened attentively to the heroic deeds of the armed policemen in fighting floods and rescuing emergencies told on the radio. But the two boys behind her kept making noise, which made her a little angry.
But after a while, the corners of Li Yingying's mouth flashed with a hint of schadenfreude.
A figure appeared in front of them, looking like it was extremely tall.
Ye Xing raised his head, his face turned pale in an instant, and he secretly screamed that something was wrong, damn, it turned out to be Lin Yasha, it's over!
The two let go of their hands and stood up in fear.
"You two, why are you in your third year of high school so endless, give me standing class today!" Lin Yan put her hands on her waist, as if her anger had not subsided, and said again, "Ye Xing, come here!" ”
Ye Xing raised his head and followed Lin Yan out of the classroom, Zhu Qilin gloated and smiled, "Brother, take care!" ”
With Lin Yan's departure, the class exploded instantly, talking about how Ye Xing would be abused and how miserable it would be when he came back.
Then Li Yingying "laughed".
After a moment of noise, squad leader Deng Liyun stood up and shouted loudly: "Please be quiet!" She also had a notebook in her hand.
That book, like a book of life and death, most of the people who were written into it were "either dead or disabled", so when they heard this, everyone settled down again.
"Liyun, you are so powerful, the people in the class are immediately controlled by you." Li Yingying said with a smile.
Deng Liyun closed the book, "Where, they are actually afraid of this book." ”
"Oh?" Li Yingying became curious, "Lend me a look." ”
Deng Liyun handed it to her, Li Yingying flipped it very attentively, looked at it for a while, but only smiled, "Haha...... Why are most of them Ye Xing's names? It seems that there are several yes on every page! ”
When Deng Liyun heard this, she said helplessly: "Hehe, I can't help it, you can also see it, he is a very naughty boy, and he will make trouble at two ends in three days." If you look closely, it's all clearly registered. ”
Immediately, Li Yingying carefully flipped through the records of the last few days of the end of last semester, and let out a few chuckles from time to time:
Thursday, June 1st, morning, Ye Xing's escape class.
On Monday, June 5th, evening self-study, Ye Xing went out to surf the Internet.
On Friday, June 9th, in the afternoon, Ye Xing had a snack in physics class.
On Thursday, June 15th, evening self-study, Ye Xing and Zhu Qilin skipped class to go online.
On Tuesday, June 20, in the morning, Ye Xing slept.
On Sunday, June 25th, evening self-study, Ye Xing bullied his tablemates.
……
Li Yingying watched it with relish, and at this time, Lin Yan returned to the classroom.
Li Yingying closed her notebook, sat up straight, and then looked behind her, followed by a person. It is true that in this "Book of Life and Death", Ye Xing, whose name appears the most times.
She couldn't help but shake her head at him.
The classroom was extremely quiet, Lin Yan's steps were cold, and Ye Xing, who was following her, looked pitiful, slightly bent on his back, holding a small stack of things in his hand.
Lin Yan faced everyone and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, when collecting tuition this semester, there was a small error in the calculation of the tuition fee of the Finance Office, and we overcharged everyone by 100, and now we will return it to everyone without a penny." ”
At this moment, everyone realized that what Ye Xing had in his hand was nothing else, it was actually the "Pink Flower" banknote, which should be the fifty-six hundred-yuan bills that Lin Yan said overcharged.
But what Lin Yan said next made everyone feel disappointed for a few seconds.
"But you have also heard that there is a flood in the south of the province, and the school organizes donations of materials, so ......"
"So this money is regarded as a little bit of your care, and the teacher is here to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for the friends in the disaster area."
"According to the plan, it will be handed over to the school the night after tomorrow, and I will be absent for the past few days, so the money will be kept by Ye Xing for the next two days, and everyone has no opinions!"
"Ye Xing, keep it, there will be a special person to collect it the night after tomorrow, just give it to them when the time comes."
Lin Yan finished all the words in one go.
Ye Xing nodded expressionlessly.
After Lin Yan left, Ye Xing returned to his seat with the money in his hand, then leaned down and put it in a corner of the drawer.
"Hehe, Liyun, classmate Ye Xing doesn't seem to be very happy." Li Yingying opened the book of life and death again and looked at it with unfinished eyes.
Deng Liyun smiled noncommittally, then opened the textbook, picked up the ballpoint pen on the side, and began to review.
"Although today is the first day of September, the lunar calendar is the third day of the eighth month, that is to say, the first day of school happens to be Ye Xing's birthday in 2015."
