Chapter 108: The Fox Seduces
She wasn't interested in our accosting, smiled politely, turned and left. Scorched Pi is smug about the sense of humor he showed in front of the girls.
I looked at Hu Hong's back in a daze. Scorched skin came up and beat me on the chest, startling me. Jiaopi squinted at me: "Yo, you fell in love with someone so soon?" ”
"What a thing!" I was much more sober after being frightened by him, but then on the way to the study room, I always felt a pair of eyes staring at me under the willow tree behind me, and I didn't feel "hairy" and terrifying. Jiaopi was still chattering on Hu Hong's appearance, but I was silent, thinking about something else that was somewhat strange.
When I walked to the door of the study room, I couldn't help but turn around suddenly, as if there was a dark shadow behind me. Scorched was startled by my sudden movements: "What are you doing?" Brother, I scared you just now, you took revenge on me, right? ”
I saw a red fox crouching under a willow tree. When my eyes touched its green eyes, it quickly slipped away. "What are you looking at?" Scorched looked in my direction, "Nothing, nervous!" ”
"Red Fox!" I screamed, and my sweat and hair stood on end. I saw the fox show its face and disappear again.
"It's Hu Hong! You can see it from that figure. Jiaopi patted my frightened face and walked into the study room.
"I'm talking about the corner of the cafeteria." I followed into the study hall and sat next to Jiaopi.
"There's only one willow tree there." Burnt replied disregardedly. Let's pick a seat and sit down.
"You're freshmen, aren't you?" A female student wearing deep glasses in the back 'interjected'. She may be a senior because she has two graduate school counseling books on her desk. "That's Hu Liu."
"Hu Liu?" My eyes widened.
"Haha, I just renamed Hu Hong Hu Liu, brother, look, why is it so coincidental?" Burnt Pi is overwhelmed.
"Willow is a type of willow tree. The ancients said that this willow has a little more charm than ordinary willow trees. I didn't believe it at first. But when I was a junior in college, a girl died under the willows. I saw it with my own eyes. She pushed her deep glasses, "In ancient mythological works, it is said that when a woman dies under the willows, her soul will turn into a fox. So every time I pass by the cafeteria, I am terrified. ”
"Those books are lies, who believes them." Scorched retorted dismissively.
I felt that there was something important that had been missed, but I couldn't remember it for a while.
On the way back to my dormitory, I stood by the cafeteria for a while. In fact, this is not exactly a cafeteria, the lower three floors are restaurants, and the upper four floors are full of entertainment venues. The small willow tree is just below a dilapidated window on the seventh floor. After the evening self-study, the night was already late, and the window seemed to be an open mouth, as if it was about to swallow everything.
The next day, I passed by the cafeteria to attend classes in the school building. There were many people standing outside the cafeteria. When I asked, it turned out that a boy jumped from the window on the seventh floor last night. This morning, he was found by the cleaning staff, lying under the willows, he was still breathing weakly, and he had just been taken to the school hospital for rescue. I approached the crowd and saw only a scarlet bloodstain, the same as the red fox's face.
That night, Jiaopi and I met Hu Hong again at the cafeteria. Jiaopi shouted: "This is not a coincidence, this is fate!" I hurriedly went to cover his mouth. Hu Hong turned around to greet them with a smile, and I noticed that she was a skinny but very pleasing girl. After greeting for a while, she said, "I still have some things, let's go first, bye!" ”
Next, I saw a senior girl wearing deep glasses in the study room. She waved to Scorch, meaning to ask them to sit in the empty seats in front of her.
"Hey, believe it? I said that Hu Liu has a bewitching atmosphere. The boy who jumped off the building last night must have been "bewitched" by the fox. Then she whispered mysteriously, "Tell you both, that girl jumped down in the same place last year." I don't know who's next."
"Then why did she 'kill herself'?" I found this important question. Fear was evident in Jiaopi's eyes.
"What else can a girl for? Feelings. I heard that it was a boy she liked who played with her feelings, and she couldn't think about it for a while, so she ......" she spread out her hands and expressed helplessness, "Later, the boy was under heavy psychological pressure and didn't want to stay here, so he dropped out of school and went to work." But coincidentally, why did someone jump off the building there? ”
"Don't put together completely unrelated things, okay?" The "color" of the burnt skin face has changed.
"Then why do today's boys 'commit suicide' in the same place?" I asked. The senior girl looked at Jiaopi and nodded, indicating that my words were also her question.
"That window is so jumpy, and there happens to be a willow growing underneath." Although Jiaopi's voice is loud, it is obviously lacking in confidence, so his voice is a little trembling. "Well, you say, what do you think the two are related? Who will be the next to jump? ”
"I don't know." I say.
The senior girl shook her head and said, "But I'm sure that the fox will hurt others." ”
After the evening self-study, I immediately went to the apartment building of the Department of Political Science and Law. I found a friend I met by playing basketball. Qiangzi is a student union officer of the Department of Political Science and Law and knows many people. A few minutes later, I came back from Hadron. The night was quiet, and I could clearly hear my own footsteps. Then something was wrong, and I felt the sound of another pair of footsteps coming from behind me. I stopped, and it stopped; I took a step, and it rang out. Thankfully, I was back in my dorm room soon.
Scorched Pi saw fine beads of sweat oozing from my forehead and asked me what I was doing.
"There is no such person as Hu Hong in the Department of Political Science and Law!" I said tremblingly.
Neither Burnt Skin nor I slept well that night. Scorched was so frightened that he clung to the quilt. I lay flat on the bed and thought about it for a long time. It was about two o'clock in the morning that I fell asleep. In the moonlight like flowing water, there was indeed a red fox lying under the willow tree. Its green eyes glittered with ferocity, vengeance, and grief. It stared at me with blinding blood running from the corners of its mouth. After a few seconds, it turned away, as fast as the last time I turned and saw it, leaving behind a corpse that had long been hidden behind it. My gut told me it was the boy who jumped off the building. I saw that the heart of the corpse had been bitten by a red fox, and the blood underneath was spread on the ground like a red fox skin.
The alarm clock woke me up, and I was sweating.
Scorched skin refused to go to the evening self-study. I took my bag and walked away. When I was about to get to the cafeteria, I vaguely saw a petite figure standing in front of me. I took a deep breath, stepped forward, and put my hand on her shoulder: "Hello, Hu Hong! ”
Hu Hong turned his head: "You know my secret, aren't you afraid?" ”
