Dead Song (5)
After the liberation, this kiln has been deserted, and later it was dismantled and converted into a dam yard for farmers to dry grain. But it didn't take long for it to be rumored that the people guarding the dam were crazy, and they were still scared crazy. Later, I don't know why it was converted into a labor camp. I heard that male offenders often commit suicide and go missing. After the relocation, the camp was vacant for several years. Some people who drive by at night pass by and say they have heard the cries of women. Later, I don't know who approved it and turned it into a school. It is said that he wanted to suppress the obstacles here with the vigor of young people.
It's also evil. Since the school was built, the woman's crying has disappeared. There have been no more cases of suicides or disappearances. When I walked to the fifth middle school, a girl discarded her newborn baby into the music storage room. Strange things happened one after another, as if the curse of silence had been lifted again.
Shanshan walked down the empty hallway of the classroom, the sound of footsteps echoing in the air. In my memory, as long as I walked through this corridor, went up to the third floor and turned right, there was a music classroom. She walked slowly forward through the street light outside the glass window, and when she saw her long shadow cast on the cement slab, she suddenly remembered that something was wrong with the girl who was smiling at her earlier.
That girl has no shadow!
It seems that Qin Qin is in trouble, and I don't know what is happening to her now.
When she came to the door of the music classroom, Shanshan reached out and twisted the doorknob, but the door was closed tightly. Looking inside through the small window on the door, there was nothing. Although she knew how to lift the curse, to be safe, she had better get out of here first.
Shanshan thought about it and walked quickly downstairs. At that moment, there was a sound behind him that seemed to open the door.
The door to the music storage room slammed, revealing the white glow of fluorescent lamps. Shanshan did not go back, but quickened her pace. She also knew that everything she was seeing was just an illusion, and that no one was going to go to the reserve room at this time.
She had to get out of this cursed place as soon as possible!
"Flowers bloom, flowers bloom, what flowers bloom ......"
The song came from behind, softly, softly, like the singer was humming softly on your back and in your ear.
The familiar fear hit Shanshan, but she hadn't forgotten how to undo the spell. So I recited "blossoming, blossoming......"
Unfortunately, things are not as simple as Shanshan thought, and Shanshan also realized this. She didn't say anything more, just stood there quietly, blankly, looking in the direction of the reserve room.
Qin Qin waited for a long time and didn't see Senior Sister Shanshan. Footsteps could be heard in the hallway earlier, and they seemed to stop as they approached the music room. Qin Qin could tell that it was not the sound of high heels. She believed that Senior Sister Shanshan would definitely come, so she would wait no matter how long it was.
Because only Senior Sister Shanshan can give her the answer.
Qin Qin leaned next to the piano foot and gradually fell asleep.
She had a dream.
I dreamed of a girl from another school standing on the edge of a flower bed in front of the dormitory building. Deng Xin stood behind her, his hand on the girl's shoulder. Deng Xin smiled at the girl, and smiled so sweetly. The girl came to the door of the music room alone, stood for a moment and left. Her mouth kept singing "Blossom, blossom...... her eyes were full of fear.
A long vine covered with thorns gradually emanated from her mouth and crawled on her body. The girl kept struggling, and the long thorny vine became tighter and tighter. Blood flowed down the vines to the ground, like flowers in full bloom. Qin Qin saw that the girl was looking straight at her with eyes full of fear. At this moment, Qin Qin's back seemed to have eyes, and he saw Fan Tiantian, Han Qing, Deng Xin and Yang Ni, standing there holding hands, looking at the girl's painful struggle with a smile......
"Ah!!h Qin Qin couldn't help but shout anymore.
It turned out to be a dream.
Qin Qin returned to the dormitory and was about to lie down when she heard a knock on the door. When I opened the door, I smelled the fragrance of mast flowers, and the music teacher stood at the door, his eyes were cold, and he couldn't see his emotions. The teachers at this school have always given her the feeling that way. Impersonal.
"Teacher."
The music teacher scanned Qin Qin's room, fixed his gaze on Qin Qin's face, and finally stared at Qin Qin's back.
Qin Qin found that the way the teachers in this school looked at people was equally hairy. I remember that Han Qing also described it before, teachers look at people as if there are others standing behind you.
"Teacher, is there anything wrong with me?"
The music teacher retracted his gaze and said, "A student informed me that there was a strange scream coming from your room, so come and take a look." Qin Qin...... Are you okay? ”
Screams? Qin Qin felt inexplicable. She had just returned to her room, but she didn't dare tell the teacher about it. So he said, "I'm fine, it's just a nightmare." ”
"Really? That's good. ”
The music teacher said this, but his eyes were full of distrust. Qin Qin understood very well that since Han Qing's disappearance, her actions, words and deeds were all abnormal practices in the eyes of them and her classmates. It's terrible to feel isolated. Even so, there were some things she wanted to ask the teacher for.
So Qin Qin stopped the teacher who turned around and was about to leave.
“…… Teacher...... Is there really nothing in the music classroom? ”
Qin Qin didn't miss out The music teacher's body trembled significantly after hearing this question, and then returned to normal.
"Music classroom? I went to check it out at six o'clock...... Why did Qin Qin suddenly ask me this? ”
"I didn't ...... I just happened to have a dream about a music classroom...... But it's okay. ”
It turned out that the man was the music teacher at six o'clock. By the way, the scent of mast flowers is the music teacher's. Qin Qin looked at the teacher's white high heels, frowned, and said softly, "It's strange, it should be red." ”
"What did you say?"
"No, it's nothing, if the teacher is okay, I'll go back to my room to rest first."
Qin Qin knew very well that even if there was really something, the teacher would not be able to tell her.
It's a bit noisy outside.
Through the glass window, you can see the dean, the dormitory committee, the music teacher, and even the class teacher! They seemed to be talking, and they were arguing about something. Judging by their facial expressions, it must be a bit of a hassle. The teaching director supported his waist with one hand and said something to the class guide, who frowned, and his face was difficult to see. The head of the dormitory also stood aside and listened with a solemn face. And the music teacher kept holding his temples with his hands.
Qin Qin closed the curtains.
On Monday of the second day, I heard that parents of students from other schools had come to No. 5 Middle School to look for their children. Qin Qin also knew from the members of the choir that the parent was the father of Senior Sister Shanshan.
She suddenly remembered the strange dream she had in the music classroom that night.
It turns out that the girl who was entangled by the long vine is Senior Sister Shanshan! She's dead! Just like Han Qing and the others. Although she didn't see her body, Qin Qin could be sure that she was dead.
Pushing open the door of the music classroom, I happened to bump into the music teacher. Qin Qin found that when the teacher saw her, she was visibly stunned, and immediately returned to normal.
"Didn't you write out the notice today, so you don't have to practice in the afternoon? Why is Qin Qin here again? ”
After the teacher mentioned this, Qin Qin remembered that the choir was closed today.
"Qin Qin, are you okay?"
Seeing the concern in the eyes of the music teacher, Qin Qin, who had been isolated by everyone for a long time, felt a little moist in his eyes. Since she transferred to No. 5 Middle School, only Deng Xin and Han Qing have been able to talk to her a little. Now the two of them have committed suicide, and the other has disappeared so far. At this moment, the teacher was full of love, touching the most vulnerable place in her heart. remembered that I secretly asked Senior Sister Shanshan to meet last night and deliberately deceived the music teacher, and I felt very uncomfortable.
“…… Teacher...... It was I who asked Shanshan about the music storage room...... We made an appointment to meet in the music classroom...... I didn't tell you the truth last night...... I. ”
"Qin Qin, the teacher didn't blame you. It's over. ”
"Teacher...... Can I still stay in the choir? ”
Hearing this, the music teacher's expression changed back to its previous appearance. Zhengsheng said, "The rumors about the 'curse' bother you. Actually, you don't have to pay too much attention to the rumors about the school. If there is a 'curse', as I have the most contact with the music classroom, I should be the most dangerous, right? But over the years I've been teaching, I haven't encountered anything strange. Qin Qin, you have a good rest and concentrate on the competition. ”
Qin Qin bowed his head and was silent.
What the music teacher said was not unreasonable. She is the one who has the most exposure to music classrooms. Nothing has happened in all these years of teaching? According to what she said, could it be that what Senior Sister Shanshan said was a rumor? But how to explain the series of strange things that happened before Deng Xin, Han Qing, and Yang Ni disappeared? Could it be that the 'curse' has an effect on the teacher's lack of motivation? Or is she a god-blessed?
Seeing that Qin Qin didn't respond to his words, the music teacher was also a little worried about this child. Deng Xin's jumping off the building attracted the attention of the school, and the first object they suspected was Qin Qin. Because only Qin Qin and Deng Xin were together at that time, and they were roommates. And when Deng Xin had an accident, Qin Qin had evidence of not being silent.
Although she fainted in the corridor and was sent to the infirmary, everyone was busy looking for Deng Xin at that time, and no one paid attention to Qin Qin's whereabouts. The school also called up Qin Qin's relevant performance in the previous school. She is a very normal student, but she is more friendly with another girl named Fan Tiantian. But the girl was dead.
Qin Qincai's personality after transferring to the fifth middle school of the girls is simply two people from the previous school. Ever since the Deng Xin incident, she has become very weird. The night before Han Qing's disappearance, she took everyone to the toilet to find Han Qing's body. Since that time, she has not taken the initiative to communicate with other students.
It was as if she was separated by something. Even if she was so close to her now, she still couldn't guess what the student was thinking.
Are children from single-parent families so quirky?
As a teacher, the last thing you want is for your students to distrust you. So she spoke: "Qin Qin, don't you still believe the teacher's words?" Then think about it. If there really is some 'curse' in the school, why are you okay? Are so many classmates okay? There are more than 2,000 students in the school, and several of them skip class, play with their boyfriends, disappear and do not return home or return to school. Other schools also have this problem. The teacher doesn't want to convince you of anything. I just want you to see the truth of the facts. Don't stay in your own conjectures and rumors from others. ”
"Teacher...... I know that you and others think I have schizophrenia. But before those classmates had an accident, I had heard inexplicable singing. This is the same situation as Senior Sister Shanshan said. At the time of their accident, those horrific scenes were right in front of my eyes, but I was powerless to prevent them from happening. We made an appointment to meet in the music room to go missing this time, and she came to tell me about the 'curse of the music room'. But unexpectedly, she ......"
"Qin Qin, in fact, that Shanshan used to be a member of the chorus. Because she was forced to change schools because she broke the school rules, the teacher has no way of knowing what kind of mentality she has in order to make an appointment with you to meet at this school. If you're really bothered by the 'Music Classroom Curse', would you like to go with me to verify it now? ”
The music teacher looked at Qin Qin fixedly.
"Okay." Qin Qin felt that she had no reason to refuse the teacher at this moment.
So Azama followed behind the teacher.
Neither spoke.
Qin Qin knew where the teacher was going to take her. Hands tense and pinch the necklace around the neck. That's what my mother left behind when she died. Dad said that as long as she wore it, Mom would protect her.
The music teacher walked to the front of the storage room and stopped, turned to look at Qin Qin. As if he had discovered some new secret, he said, "What is your hand holding?" Sent by your off-campus boyfriend? ”
“…… Teacher, I don't have a boyfriend yet. This was left by my mother before her death. ”
The music teacher paused for a moment, then opened his mouth again. This time, though, I was much more careful than before.
"So, your mother is ......"
"She died a long time ago." Maybe it's because my mother has been away for too long, so long that she now talks about her death with others, and she has long since lost the feeling of pain.
The music teacher didn't ask any more, just turned around and opened the door to the storage room.
"Look."
Qin Qin entered this room.
The music teacher didn't turn the lights on. It was pitch black inside, and I could only faintly see the bookshelves and the old musical instruments. Qin Qin recalled the last time she was impulsive and walked in here alone to find out about practicing the movement, and suddenly felt a little frightened. She sensed that there was someone else here besides her and her music teacher.
Qin Qin was thinking about how to find an excuse to leave when she heard the music teacher say.
"Classmate Qin Qin, since you're here, why don't you go in and have a look?"
"No...... Teacher me. ”
"You're not afraid there's something in there, are you?!"
Qin Qin lowered her head and didn't dare to look into the teacher's eyes.
The teacher is still wearing the same pair of white high heels as the night before.
"Although the students rumored that there were ghosts here, they didn't dare to approach it. But when I was a student, this storage room was a saloon~ The music is magical. In the past, when I was in the choir, I could enter the world of the song while I was singing. I think you're the same as me when you're practicing, right? ”
"Teacher...... Actually, when I sing those songs, I think of what happened when I was a child. ”
The teacher was obviously interested in hearing what kind of childhood the seemingly sick child had this time.
"Because I was a girl, my father didn't care much about me when I was a child. He also often quarrels with his mother over a little thing. Many times, I saw my mother secretly wiping my tears behind my back. She had always been frail and sickly, and my father said it was a disease left over from when I was born. Gradually, my mother became more and more strange, as if she had changed into a different person. A lot of times she doesn't even recognize me. But...... Occasionally, when I'm in a good mood, she would hold me and sing, so as soon as I heard the music, it was easy for me to enter the world of the song...... I'm sorry, I don't think I should have said that. ”
"Classmate Qin Qin, you are much more familiar with me than at the beginning. This is also a good thing~ In fact, if you have something in your heart, you can say it in a chat, so that the mood will become much easier. I can understand how you feel, and I have some things in common with you. I don't feel it as strongly as you, but I still think about it when I was a kid when I sing. Qin Qin, haven't you checked the book on annotated etudes? ”
“…… Yes? …… Yes. ”
"I can relate to the fact that you want to know more about the meaning behind the repertoire of this competition. As you said, you're just trying to figure out the doubts in your head. In fact, one of the students went missing, and the teachers were really worried. However, the school's approach is not to take any action until the matter is clear. And ......"
The music teacher suddenly put his hand on Qin Qin's shoulder.
"And I want our choir to win the championship in this competition. The school also doesn't want to damage its reputation because of these students. Hopefully, you understand that. I'm looking forward to your good performance in the game. ”
"Teacher, what do you mean...... Can I still stay in the choir?! ”
"Of course. Some of the notes are not perfect, but I think your voice is very similar to the one I had when I was younger. In order to sing the melody in my heart, you have to come on~"
"Thank you, teacher!"
"I also want to thank you for your willingness to talk to me so much. Okay, let's go back and get some rest. ”
Qin Qin had originally been disqualified from the competition after telling the music teacher about lying to her. Unexpectedly, the teacher not only did not blame, but encouraged her.
She didn't understand why the music teacher was telling her so much.
Was it just to enlighten her? Do you want her to give up believing that 'there's a curse in the storage room'?
When Qin Qin came back to his senses, the music teacher was nowhere to be found. Only the crisp footsteps of the high heels on the ground told her that what had just happened was not a hallucination.
"Hee-hee."
Who is she behind the laughter? Qin Qin turned around. There was no one behind it, except for the dark storage room. A gust of wind blew in from nowhere, slamming the door of the previously opened storage room shut.
The choir's practice is in its final stages.
The music teacher is still like a supervisor, and when everyone sings wrong, he reprimands everyone fiercely. When she looked at Qin Qin, her eyes were still looking behind her. Everything went back to the way it was, which made Qin Qin feel that the last conversation with the music teacher in front of the storage room was just a dream.
"Especially in the lower sections, you have to sing well. It's like a game, so be positive and focused. ”
Qin Qin found that she couldn't concentrate on singing at all. The storage room kept coming to mind, and there were bloody handprints under the piano and red high heels.
The neat singing of the members of the choir in my ears became distant, distant...... It was as if the song was close to my ears. Gently ...... Slowly ....... Qin Qin's gaze also dimmed with the singing. Until nothing is visible...... The song was still whispering in his ears.
Qin Qin saw a girl, walked to the well to get water, and accidentally broke the bowl. The little girl came home and knelt on the ground, and an adult was slapping her weak body hard. The girl cried and begged for mercy, and at last her face was expressionless, and the adult's hard whipping was no longer felt to her, she just looked at the man who had beaten her with fierce eyes. The picture enters another scene, the woman doesn't know when there is an extra knife in her hand, holding it behind her, and slowly walks to the man's side.
Taking advantage of the man's unpreparedness, she did not hesitate to stab the knife into the man's X. The man fell to the ground, and a dozen women ran in. , screaming loudly at her, and countless jealous eyes of hatred shot around her, making her lose her mind. The anger that had been suppressed in their hearts for too long was released in them. And those women, like paper dolls, let the knife cut, the snow-white skin broke one by one, and the blood had already soaked the floor, but she still repeated the action of waving the knife mechanically......
"Ahh
Qin Qin screamed vigorously. When I opened my eyes, the woman covered in blood was gone. The air was filled with the strong smell of blood. All the members of the choir fell to the ground. Bright red and thick blood was slowly pouring out of them. There were also several familiar faces facing her. Their eyes were filled with fear, and their wounded bodies twitched slightly in pools of blood......
Qin Qin saw everything in front of him, and the soles of his feet went soft. She had no idea what had just happened. She just hallucinated in the darkness and saw a woman frantically killing her companions, but she didn't expect that it was her classmates who were dead now. She couldn't believe that these were true, and she stood up weakly and stepped back step by step. Suddenly, something was on my back...... She looked back and saw the music teacher standing behind her, her eyes full of loss of control and madness!
Could it be ...... Everything is a music teacher?!
Yes, it's her. The smell of mast flowers, and the red heels. Its color was supposed to be white, and the red seen at the time was because it was stained with blood! It turned out that everything was done by the music teacher.
"Teacher...... Why you?! Why!!! ”
"What evidence do you have?" The madness in the eyes of the music teacher has receded. It's back to its usual appearance.
