Chapter 3 Disasters Outside the School
Evening electives are in Shaw House. This building was the first to be built by the school and has a history of forty or fifty years. Outside the wall, it has been occupied by creepers, and a large area of green is green, and the old appearance has been replaced with a new look, which has become a major highlight.
Song Qingci sat in the front row, listening to the teacher's explanation, and she sometimes looked back at Jiangxi Mu, who was sitting in the last row with his head bowed and in a daze. In order to complete the credits, she also helped Jiangxi Mu choose this space design "by the way".
The teacher put a lot of beautiful pictures of space design on the PPT, explaining the definition and meaning of space design. Since it is an elective course, many students are playing with their mobile phones.
Song Qingci took out her mobile phone, lowered her head, thought about it, and her fingers jumped quickly on the phone, "Is the class boring?" I see you're not listening. Then the recipient chose Jiangxi Mu.
The teacher drooled on the podium. About two minutes later, Song Qingci's mobile phone vibrate, she secretly clicked on it, and the words on it were still mechanical, just like Jiangxi Mu himself. "Each other, each other." She smiled helplessly, it seems that it was still her fault?
There are only two elective classes, and the teacher strings the two classes together without a break in the courseware. So the class ended nearly half an hour early.
Song Qingyu slowly put the pencil case into her Betty crossbody bag, and when she looked back, Jiang Jiang Mu had already left the classroom. She quickly sped up and ran out of the door, just in time to see Jiang Ximu at the corner preparing to go down the stairs.
She ran over and was panting behind Jiangxi Mu. Jiangxi Mu looked at her sideways, as if puzzled: "What are you doing running so fast?" β
Song Qingci pouted: "Then you are walking so fast, where are you going?" β
Jiangxi Mu shrugged, "Go back to the dormitory." β
Song Qingci smiled: "What are you doing when you go back so early?" Play a game or what? It's only half past eight, so why don't you go outside the school and grab something. β
"Meaningless." Jiangxi Mu replied coldly, turned around and continued to go downstairs.
Song Qingci stopped him: "Then what's the point of you going back to play games?" Refusing a girl's request is very ungentlemanly. β
"I didn't play the game." Jiangxi Mu replied.
"Since I'm not playing games, I'm going to go out and eat. There is a lo mein shop outside, which only sells 200 bowls at night. Song Qingci said with a smile. Or rather, it was the charm of the lo mein that attracted her, causing the thought of the lo mein to unconsciously secrete dopamine. "It's just this time, and it's only 9 o'clock when I get back to the dormitory."
Looking at Song Qingci's pitiful eyes, Jiangxi Mu nodded lightly. Regarding Song Qingci's enthusiasm, he put a question mark in his heart: "Why is she so familiar with me?" Yes, Song Qingci is very "intimate" to him, just like today's basketball first test, you should pull him to watch.
I wonder what she's doing this?
Outside the school, there is the student street. There are many snacks in the student street, such as Wu Dalang baked cakes, and a small cart attracts more than a dozen students to line up to buy cakes. And the lo noodles that Song Qingci said are the shop opposite the No. 3 Middle School next to Narcissus Normal School, just around the corner.
"Boss, do you still have lo mein?" Song Qingci trotted all the way excitedly.
The shopkeeper replied lukewarmly: "There are still ten bowls left." β
Song Qingci immediately took out 10 yuan, "Then I want two bowls." β
As the stall is approaching the end, the stall is relatively deserted. It was a small bar next to it, where many people sat with colorful hair and kept shaking their heads. It's a rarity that this bar is just 100 meters away from the two schools.
The lo noodles come up, and the fragrance is tangy. The noodles are lined with shiitake mushrooms, shrimp meat, pork and other ingredients, and they look tempting. Coupled with the special sand tea sauce, it attracts people's five senses.
Song Qingci couldn't wait to eat the noodles, and enjoyed it happily with his eyes closed. Seeing that Jiangxi Mu didn't move his chopsticks, he urged: "This kind of food has been inherited in our country for thousands of years, and it is quite flavorful. Hurry up and eat it, it's a pity not to eat it. β
And Jiangxi Mu just put the chopsticks in the bowl, reversed the noodles, and served the sand tea sauce. "Why are you pulling me out, and for what purpose?" The words were very indifferent, obviously the girl invited him to eat, but he wanted to maliciously think about the girl's bad intentions.
"Uh-" Song Qingci choked when he heard this, and hurriedly drank the soup to ease up. She couldn't cry or laugh: "Ask you out to eat lo mein, and still suspect that I have a purpose?" You're too vigilant, aren't you? β
In addition to indifference, vigilance has always been a good style of Jiangxi Mu. After going through a lot of things, vigilance has become his super sixth sense. It was also with his vigilance that he was able to avoid many disasters. Even if there is someone around him who is kind to him, he must first assume that this person is humble and hypocritical with a purpose.
"It's just a lo mein, and by the way, I want to ask you something." Song Qingci looked at his bowl of noodles and motioned him to eat while talking, don't let the food be "cool".
Jiangxi Mu Cai moved his chopsticks and put a little noodles into his mouth.
"I've always felt that you must have come to school for something." Song Qingci expressed his doubts: "When you come to school, you spend most of your time in the dormitory except for classes. You're probably looking for something. β
Jiangxi Mu did not speak, and did not deny her opinion.
"It's so important that you don't care if you're a transfer student." Song Qingci looked at the orange sand tea sauce in his face, like a chaos, "And I can't understand many of your behaviors." For example, why didn't you explain it to the police? β
"I have my reasons, you don't have to ask." Jiangxi Mu turned his head and did not smile.
He didn't have to ask about that sentence, Song Qingci's heart was inexplicably sour, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Jiangxi Mu was not responsible for his words, and ate lo mein with his head down. When she was about to finish eating, she symbolically answered her question: "I can only say that I am going to look up the events of 1996." After that, life began to change. β
Song Qingci raised her head, her eyes moved slightly, and she became anxious: "What do you mean, why is 1996 so important to you?" β
But Jiangxi Mu didn't say any more, unwilling to answer this question that made him torture. He clutched his chopsticks tightly and took a long time to relax.
Song Qingci naturally noticed this subtle change and understood that this 1996 was a taboo for him. Just mentioning such a vintage is enough to make this iceberg uncontrollably volcanic. If that is the case, what happened in 1996? What big changes have taken place in his life?
Another unsolved mystery.
Jiangxi Mu in front of him, indifferent as ice, isn't it the biggest mystery in itself? From meeting him to his arrival at the school, one mystery after another ensues.
Two people came out of the small bar next to it, one wearing a black vest showing strong arms, and the other wearing a T-shirt with dyed red hair, holding a wine bottle and swaying out.
Song Qingci instinctively showed a disdainful expression and urged Jiangxi Mu: "Let's go quickly." This bar is disgusting. β
"Yo-this young lady is good." The red-haired man whistled and said to the person next to him.
Song Qingci's face turned pale, and he hurriedly took Betty's crossbody bag to leave, but unfortunately, the accident that was about to occur still happened. But-
"Wait, the kid next to this chick, isn't that the person......" The red-haired man pointed to Jiangxi Mu and said to the person next to him. His face is unnaturally distorted.
"Yesβit's himβ" The man in the T-shirt smashes the bottle with a fierce look on his face.
"Bang-" There was a crunch sound, the bottle cracked, and the wine flowed out. The owner of the lo mein seller was so frightened that he hid behind the stove, trembling.
"Do they have any enmity with you?" Song Qingci instinctively leaned towards Jiangxi Mu's side. At this moment, she felt that the iceberg next to her was very reliable. She glanced up at Jiang Ximu, he was calm, his eyes were like eagles staring at the two thugs, the so-called fear had never existed in him.
"It's this person, this person hurt our boss, and he can't get out of bed now!" The man in the T-shirt pointed at Jiangxi Mu viciously with a broken wine bottle.
"Who's your boss?" Jiangxi Mu asked coldly: "There are too many people, I can't remember clearly." β
"It's really a noble man who forgets things. Didn't you shoot our brother Dong a few times? The red-haired man was furious, and his hair was like a flame.
Jiangxi Mu lowered his head and muttered softly in Song Qingci's ear: "Hurry up, don't stop......"
Song Qingci was like a kitten, trembling and trembling, looking at Jiangxi Mu's very firm and unquestionable eyes, and ran towards the darker alley behind.
"Smack-"
Song Qingci only ran two steps, and when he turned around, he was so frightened that he covered his mouth with his hands, but he couldn't prevent his voice from leaking out, "Ah......"
Jiangxi Mu was bleeding from his left arm, and the glass slag on the ground proved that someone had just thrown a wine bottle at him and hit him in the arm.
Jiangxi Mu turned his head, his face did not change, and he calmly ordered her: "Hurry up, don't stay!" β
Song Qingci had never seen anyone with such an injury, and the expression on his face could not change without any change in such a situation. It's like this blood is something outside of the body. The cold face, the eyes that were cold to more than 100 degrees below zero, and the body that stood like a loose body, stopped all the disasters in front of him.
"No, you're so seriously injured...... Song Qingci couldn't leave him alone, ran back, and dragged him to the alley desperately.
"Don't let this man run!"
"Be careful, in case he has a gun......"
Behind him came the roar of thugs.
Song Qingci put his right hand on his shoulder and ran lifeless in this dark alley. Wearing sandals, she soon felt a serious protest coming from her feet. But she didn't dare to stop.
The chaser in the darkness reminds her that if she stops, she will die.
"I can face it, you leave quickly!"
In her ears were Jiang Mu's emotionless words, and then she felt that Jiang Xi Mu was pushing her and telling her to leave.
"You're so badly injured. How could I go......" Song Qingci hugged Jiangxi Mu tightly, no matter how he refused. She couldn't just give up.
Jiangxi Mu looked at the surrounding alleys, and every house closed its door, keeping the danger out. And they just ran for their lives.
The darkness of the surroundings, like a wave more than 30 meters high, swept over, making him breathless, almost relying on Song Qingci to walk This scene stimulated his brain, and the nightmare of 15 years ago turned over and over again - a person fell in blood, bleeding nonstop, shouting at him to walk quickly......
He frowned, his eyes widened but he couldn't breathe, and he unconsciously clutched Song Qingci's shoulder. He was terrified of such boundless darkness, in which he was like a shark jumping out of water, unable to move and even fainting.
Song Qingci shouted softly in pain, but there was no way to make him let go.
The alley had come to an end, and there was a dirty pool beside it, surrounded by a stone railing.
The footsteps behind grew denser.
They have no way out!
