Text: Chapter 80 Entering the School
"Qianjin High School" is inlaid on the marble door edge with four neat golden characters, reflecting yellow brilliance in the dim light.
Looking inside from the school gate, you can see a narrow road flanked by verdant camphor trees, and nothing else can be seen.
The campus was silent, as if the students had finished school, but when they looked up, they saw that every room in the towering school building was brightly lit β they were still studying at night.
Looking at the two security guards sitting and chatting at the door, I really felt embarrassed. The two seemed to be chatting, but their eagle-like eyes kept scanning the surroundings.
They are definitely loyal gatekeepers, and I would never walk into the campus right under their noses.
Now it's in Qianjin High School, but how do I get in?
If you pretend to be a young teacher and swagger in, although it seems to work, once they are cross-examined, it will definitely show your feet - going to school at night to teach really doesn't make sense. And that elementary school teacher's certificate simply doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
It was too risky, and to make sure nothing went wrong, I finally decided to sneak in.
The watch on my wrist shows that it is now 8:52, and it is not known when this school will end.
Wait here for a while and see if there's any good time...
Thinking of finding a place to stay, I would have to arouse the suspicion of the security guards by standing at the school gate all the time, so I walked into a stationery store on the right side of the door.
The owner, a young man in his twenties, was bending over to fiddle with the goods.
I smiled at him in a friendly way: "Little brother, are you busy?" I want to ask you something. β
This person has a shop next to the school, and he must know the situation of the school, so I can't let go of such a good opportunity to find out about the situation.
The guy stood up, looked at me suspiciously, and said, "What's the matter?"
"The first time I came here to pick up my sister from school, I've been waiting here for a long time, when will this school end?"
"Then it depends on what grade your student is." The guy replied.
"What does that mean?" I was puzzled.
The guy was a straightforward person, and immediately explained: "The first and second year of high school students leave school at nine o'clock, and the third year of high school students can't finish school until ten o'clock. β
"Oh, that's rightβ" I nodded slightly.
The school does this probably because the third year of high school has to review and prepare for the exam, and the study task is heavy, so it has to leave school later. After all, it is an exam-oriented education, and the results of the college entrance examination of senior high school students are related to the reputation of the entire school, and private schools value the trust of parents, so it is understandable to do so.
"My sister is a sophomore in high school." I said casually.
"It's coming." The guy stretched out his hand and pointed to the wall clock on the wall, "School ends on time at nine o'clock." β
"Got it, thank you." I thanked the owner and quit the stationery store.
School ends at nine o'clock... There are still eight minutes to go, and by the time the students are out of school, the school's vigilance should have eased, so I'll take the opportunity to sneak into the school.
I stopped by the street lamp not far away and waited patiently. There was also a group of middle-aged men and women in the parking lot next to them, looking anxiously at the school gate, thinking that they were parents who were picking up students.
I chatted with an aunt next to me, "Sister, what grade is your child in?"
"My child is in his second year of high school." My aunt turned to look at me and asked, "What?" You go to school here, too?"
"It's not." I hurriedly waved my hand, thinking that it was my young appearance that caused the other party to misunderstand, "My sister is going to school here next year, I want to know how this school is?"
"Oh, this school is good. It's just that the tuition is too expensive! Auntie's face was a little unhappy, "For the children to go to school, I am about to empty my family's savings!" β
I smiled and comforted, "As long as the child can learn something, it's okay if the tuition is more expensive." β
"Not really!" The aunt whispered, "In other schools, my children score more than 300 points in every exam, but I am so anxious, according to this grade, I can't go to any university." I already have the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor, who knew that after transferring to this private high school, as soon as the child went home, he would not go out to play, so he would lock himself in the house, and he could score more than 500 points in every exam! β
"That's amazing!" I was a little surprised, could it be that this school is still a top teaching unit?
"This former Jin High School is very powerful, but it just pushes the child too hard." The aunt pouted and said, "Every day in the middle of the night, the lights in my children's room are still on!" If I continue to study like this, I'm afraid that the child's body will not be able to bear it! β
I nodded slightly, "I'm sure I can't stress my child too much......"
Time passed for a moment, and with a crisp sound of "jingle bell bell bell-" from the campus, the restless sound of the crowd finally sounded in the school.
The security guard at the door slowly moved his stool to the side.
A few boys with school bags were the first to catch my eye, all wearing blue-black school uniforms, and walked out unhurriedly.
However, when I looked closely, I noticed that their eyebrows were furrowed and their faces were very different. gloomy, deep down as if there is a great knot in the heart,
Generally speaking, shouldn't students who are out of school be relieved? Why don't you see the slightest look of pleasure on their faces...
Then came a huge crowd of people, who gathered in groups of three or two to discuss, or moved slowly. But to my surprise, none of them came out smiling, either as expressionless as a puppet, or with an extremely melancholy look, not at all like a student after school, like a bereaved family member!
"Mu old-timer." I turned my head sideways towards my backpack, "Can you see what's wrong with these students?"
Mu Lao replied with four simple words: "Yin flourishes and Yang declines." β
I bowed slightly, their listless appearance did seem to lack yang, the driver said that this was a former execution ground, could it be that it was eroded by the yin energy of this place...
Thinking of this, I asked, "Is it because of Feng Shui?"
"No, no matter how heavy the yin qi is here, it will affect the fortune at most, and it will not affect the anger of the people who live there." Mu Lao added: "The yin energy in these children is extremely heavy, but it is not due to their own loss of yang energy. Because the human body tends to be in harmony with yin and yang, even if it is discharged. If you want to do it too much, the yang energy will also be replenished in time. But the degree of thinning of the yang qi in their bodies was too severe, and it was obvious that they had been forcibly stripped out of their bodies. β
Forced stripping? My heart suddenly became heavy, and there seemed to be a terrible cat hidden in the school.
However, it is imperative to enter this high school first and investigate it carefully.
The school has a huge number of day students, and students are pouring out of the school gates. I watched for a moment and was pleased to find a phenomenon: not all students wore school uniforms, and some students wore casual clothes, which were no different from what I was wearing, so why don't I just walk in?
The aunt just now mistakenly thought that I was also a student at this school, which means that my apparent age is about the same as that of a senior in high school.
I'm only in my early twenties, so I don't look old, not to mention that some high school students are precocious, so I just pretend that students should not be found out if they blend in.
So, I took a deep breath, found the right time when the security guard's eyes didn't sweep over, put on my backpack and squeezed in and out of the group of students.
Two security guards stood by the gate and kept scanning the students with vigilant eyes, probably afraid that some pushing and stampede accident would occur, or that some criminals would break in.
I kept my head down and walked forward, anyway, I was carrying a school bag, no different from those students, so they couldn't stop me.
As soon as I stepped through the gate, the security guard didn't pay attention to me.
I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but I saw a middle-aged man with glasses walking towards me.
He was neatly dressed, his hair was thin, and his yellow face was very serious and old-fashioned, and he was obviously a teacher at the leadership level of the school.
I was nervous because everyone was going out the door, and I was the only one going inside, which was too conspicuous!
I steadied my mind, and although my heart was pounding, I still walked forward with my face unchanged.
As the man walked slowly, his eyes seemed to be staring at me, and my heart was already blocked in my throat, so I quickly avoided his gaze.
In the midst of the vast crowd, he and I walked in the opposite direction, and the distance gradually narrowed.
"Stop!"
A stern reprimand directly froze me in place.
I reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "What's the matter?" Teacher. β
The man stopped a meter in front of me and squinted at me, and said with a gloomy face, "Are you a day student or a boarding student?"
"I am... Day students. I replied calmly.
"Why don't day students go home yet? What do you do when you go to school! β
The man's words came at me like bullets from a machine gun, but I had already thought of a statement.
"I forgot my homework and want to go back to the classroom to get it." As I spoke, my face immediately changed to an aggrieved and frightened look.
The man frowned and glanced at me, and said, "Go in, get your homework and come out quickly!" β
"Thank you, teacher." I bowed my head and said, and quickly quickened my pace into the campus.
"Wait!" I hadn't taken two steps when the man suddenly shouted behind me.
