The sky was still gloomy, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon when he came out of the restaurant, and the meal was eaten at some time, seeing the two students happily walking in the direction of home, Zhao Yan alone didn't know why his heart always seemed to be pressed against a heavy stone, and there was a sullen feeling.

Looking up at the sky, it seemed that there had been no eyes for the past few days, and the inexplicable boredom made him slowly pace along the road in the direction of the school alone. Tomorrow is July 15th, the day when the annual ghost door is closed, I don't know why I remember a story told by my grandmother when I was a child.

Grandma said that when she was very young, because she was in the countryside, the conditions were limited at that time, so the conditions for going to school were very poor, at that time, there was only a primary school in several villages, and the children had to walk a long way to go to school, and they had to get up before dawn to go to school in the morning, and there were several grades sharing a classroom, and there were few teachers, most of them taught several subjects by one person, but in that case, they were all families with better conditions to go to school, and most of them had to do farm work at home.

At this time, I don't know where a very rich person came to fund the construction of a primary school, and when the news came out, of course, everyone was very happy, so there was strong support from the county to the local government.

The first problem is to choose the site of the school, because although everyone in the countryside supports, but it will be supported when it does not hurt their own interests, so it is a fatal thing to occupy whose land, but in the end there is no way, with the support of the county leaders, and finally make a compromise solution, there is a large piece of wasteland outside the grandmother's village, but it has become a cemetery for the local people all year round, and the family will be buried there after the death, and there will indeed be a gust of wind during the day, I heard that there is an idle person in the village, who always does stealing chickens and touching dogs every day, and the people in the village also know it, but he has no mother since he was a child, and he has not made too many mistakes.

One night, helping the people of the same village just finished work, the family kindly left him to eat, for such a person this cheap is not to take advantage of nothing, usually can not drink any wine, that day I drank a lot, with the salary in his pocket to go home, walk upside down, just when passing through this mass grave, I saw three black shadows playing cards there in the distance, each of them was lit in front of a white candle, he was usually addicted to gambling and hurriedly ran over, the three people saw him did not care about sitting down and began to play, This time passed quickly, and I didn't know how good the luck was at the end of the night, and when I was happy to win, a rooster crowed and the three people brushed it all at once, only the three white candles were still glowing there.

By the faint light this time, he looked at the money in his hand, all of which were handfuls of dark coins, and when he stretched out his hand into his pocket, it was full of paper ashes, and he ran home in fright, and when he got home, he fell seriously ill, and finally died.

Since then, there are very few people from there, rural people are very superstitious, over time the more and more evil, and finally the county leaders came up to hold an on-site meeting to suppress this matter, but in private people still discussed the meeting, took this opportunity to choose the school site there and notified everyone to move the grave within a time limit, and finally on the day of the groundbreaking, there are still a lot of tombs without the owner because of the age so they were put there to become a deserted grave, and it was about to start construction, but there was another troublesome thing in front of the village head, The bulldozer driver went on strike for the simple reason that it was a matter of digging graves, which was unlucky in the eyes of the rural people, so no one did it, and finally the village chief, under the mobilization of the three ideological work, increased his salary three times before agreeing.

I heard that when the forklift leveled the ground, the old coffins were shoveled up, and only bones were left one by one, some of them were still attached to the flesh and skin, and there were many rotten maggots on them, which were dug out with the forklift. In the end, all the bones were buried in a large pit and filled. I heard that the forklift driver was scared enough that day, and he was helped down from the car, and then he ran to the restaurant and drank a lot of Lao Baigan, but no matter what, the school was built as scheduled.

But on the day of the construction, when the ribbon was cut, the forklift driver smashed himself to death with a brick by the low wall at the back of the school, which had not yet been repaired. At that time, in order to avoid the child's panic, it was not announced after the simple treatment, but there was no secret in the countryside, and the news still spread, and later everyone said that it was because he dug other people's graves, and those lonely ghosts came back to take revenge on him.

After the school was built, the students were not very peaceful in class, at the beginning it was better, but it was found that the tables and chairs placed the day before would be very messy the next day, and some of the teacher's things would be gone, and the lights would be on at night for no reason, everyone thought that there was a thief, but what was there to steal from the school, and there were bold students who came to the school at night to see what was going on, and when a few children slowly came to the back window of the school class and looked in by the moonlight, they saw that there were many children in the room who were in class, They were all dressed in dead clothes, and on the podium, it was obvious that the teacher who died before the school was smiling at the children outside the window, and one child was scared to death at that time, and the rest of the mothers ran back.

In the end, I can't remember what happened to school, it was still the story of the school that my grandmother inadvertently told when they were young, Zhao Yan didn't know why I remembered this for no reason, it may be the reason for the pressure in my heart tomorrow, and then I raised my head and walked to the school unconsciously, and the smell of burning paper was still floating around the air.

Raise your feet and walk to the dormitory, to his bedroom in the back of the third floor, a small room, but fortunately it is convenient to live alone, there are already high school students returning to school in the corridor, but he doesn't know any of them, walk into the dormitory and close the door, the room is very simple, a bed, a desk, a stool, network cables and everything is complete.

"Hey" Zhao Yan sighed, opened his package and began to collect the room.

From the window facing the door, he could just see his class, Zhao Yan was looking at his class window with the corner of his eye while cleaning up, what appeared in his mind was today's thing, if the voice was not called by the class flower, then who was it, how could the mirror fall for no reason, whose shadow did he see at the moment of the mirror, and the first sentence of the class rules when the door was finally closed, destroying the class property, what was the matter with 'death', all of which lingered in his heart.

Zhao Yan shook his head vigorously, and when he finished cleaning it up, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening when he looked at the watch, and the sky outside was slowly getting dark, and he opened the instant noodles and sat on the bed, and casually flipped through the class list that Fat Liu gave him, this was the first time he seriously looked at everyone and every photo on it. He wants to get to know as much as he can about each student before tomorrow, so that he can work better.

I watched and slowly fell asleep.
