Our school has two teaching buildings, one for the primary school and one for the junior high school.

In September, when the weather cools down after school, everyone is reluctant to go home and run around at school.

But when the sun goes down, all the children will carry their school bags and go home on time.

No matter how naughty the wild child is, he won't stay long.

The school is next to a piece of wasteland, called the "Infant Mound", which is where several nearby villages gather to bury the babies.

In fact, not only babies, but also children who died in infancy will be buried here.

It is not known whether the school was built next to the "baby mound" or whether the "baby mound" was built next to the school.

But everyone has a legend that this school is a yin-yang school, where the living go to school during the day and the dead children go to school at night.

……

In the past few days since Hongying disappeared, her grandfather has been dividing hexagrams every day, and she is stunned and says that Hongying is not dead.

The whole village was searched, and if they were searched, they had to go from house to house, and no one had the right to do so.

My grandfather used to look for it himself when I was in school.

On the third day of school, I didn't go home right away, and my new classmates got acquainted with each other and played games together.

Li Tianfang's son, whose name is Li Yunzu, is in the same class as me, and I am the oldest in the whole class.

Fat Man, Little Plum, and I, all from the same village, plus a few children from the neighboring village play hide and seek together.

Each village is formed in a group, and it takes turns to be ghosts.

In this round, we hid each other to catch each other, and the fat man patted me on the shoulder and said, Fang Da fool, you hide well and don't cause our group to lose.

Li Yunzu pushed the fat man fiercely, "Call Fang Yushuo a fool again, I'll beat you to death." ”

The fat man was not convinced, and shouted, your father is dead, you are a fierce fart, Li Yunzu pushed down the fat man, and beat him when he rode on him.

He was small, a circle smaller than the fat man, but fierce as a mad dog.

Call me while beating back, Brother Yu will come and beat him, see if he dares to call you a fool.

I went to pull the rack, and the fat man cried and said that Fang Yushuo couldn't even learn first-grade things, and my grandmother said that he was a fool.

The people on the other side were almost unhappy to play with our group, and I persuaded them for a long time, and Li Yunzu and the fat man reluctantly reconciled.

When the other person was blindfolded, we scattered and hid in a secret place.

The fat man in the village is not alone and says I am stupid, I am not happy to hear it, and I think that this time I must hide it so that you can't find it.

I climbed out of the low wall, squatted down against the wall, and the fat man and Li Yunzu found out.

No one thought I would dare to hide outside the walls.

I heard everyone calling my name, and I was secretly happy.

After a while, there was no sound, and I was still crouching against the wall.

Telling them where I was hiding for a moment must have startled them, and they didn't notice any movement on campus.

Later, I learned that the school staff cleared the garden at 6 o'clock every night.

Squatting and my legs were numb, I stood up straight, the sun had sunk down, I rolled over the wall and was dumbfounded-

There was a dead silence in front of me, and there was no one.

All the classrooms were darkened, and the school looked horrible.

I ran to the school gate and shook the door, and the big iron gate was chained from the outside, and a big lock was hung, and I was the only one in the whole school.

The door is more than two meters high, there is no place to put your feet, and the top is still spiked, and I can't climb up with Ben.

The classrooms were locked tightly, and they couldn't even go in and hide.

It wasn't too dark yet, so I wasn't too scared, and as I walked around the schoolyard, I heard the sound of a little girl humming outside the low wall.

I ran to the low wall, stepped on the bricks and looked out of the wall, where a little girl was squatting on the ground with her back playing.

Seeing that the back was very similar to Hongying, I felt a burst of ecstasy in my heart, screaming at Hongying, and turned out of the wall.

When I straddled the wall, I felt like someone was pulling on the foot that was out of the wall.

I shook it and looked down to see a small hand just inches away from my foot.

The little hand reached out of the dirt and grabbed my foot again.

I was so frightened that I flicked my legs and rolled off the wall, falling out of the wall.

When I turned around, the hand was gone, as if I had misread it.

The little girl was still squatting in place, and I ran over and patted her on the shoulder, "Hongying, the whole village is looking for you, why are you hiding here, come with me." ”

She kept her head down, grabbing a branch and pulling it on the ground.

I crouched across from her, her hair was messy and her face was covered in dirt.

Scratching a word on the ground over and over again.

She used the branch to draw the word repeatedly, and one drop of water fell on the word, and another drop of water.

The word was wet with droplets, and she shrugged her shoulders and cried sadly.

I glanced at it, and it was a "daddy".

"Hongying, don't row, I saw your father yesterday, I'll take you home."

She looked up, and I sat on the ground with a frightened "ahh

The little girl in front of her is indeed very similar to Hongying.

But her mouth, and her hair, her eyes, and her nostrils were full of mud.

I felt my hair stand on end from the roots, and my mouth was screaming as a pig.

"Brother Yu, go quickly, it's not good to leave if it's too late." She dropped mud out of her mouth.

I screamed and ran back to the low wall, but somehow I jumped up and jumped over the wall, and when I landed, my foot hurt terribly.

My foot and neck instantly swollen, I sat on the ground and screamed in pain, rubbing my foot with one hand, only to feel that something was different in front of me.

I looked closely—it was a classroom!

All the darkened classrooms were lit up with a faint light, and the doors were wide open.

I couldn't help but look west, and the sun was gone, only the clouds on the horizon were studded with a hint of reddish gold.

The light in the classroom was dim, but I could still see shadows swaying back and forth.

I stood up on one foot, barely touched the ground with the other, and limped towards the gate.

As I passed our class, I looked inside, and there were rows of tables and chairs, each one occupied.

The children sit upright and learn as if they were in class.

One of them took something out of his bag and looked down to eat.

I craned my neck to see that the child was eating moldy steamed buns, rotten fruits, and unlit incense candles.

He gulped down, and the other children looked at him with envy.

I was stunned by what I saw, and I didn't know if I was scared, and suddenly let out a fart.

The children in the classroom looked back out the window, dozens of pairs of eyes fixed on me.

I wanted to retreat, but my legs were shaking and I couldn't lift them, and all the children slowly raised their hands, smiling at the corners of their mouths, and beckoning to me.

I was dazed and walked towards the classroom door......

When I walked to the door of the classroom, I stepped in with one foot, and suddenly a chill rushed out of my body, gently enveloping me.

I stopped with one foot in the door and one foot outside the door, and my mind cleared up, and I looked at the children again, and no one paid any more attention to me.

The one who bows his head bows his head, and the one who eats eats.

I secretly withdrew my foot, felt that my foot didn't hurt so much, and walked towards the school.

The red sarcophagus tied to my body has always exuded a warm coolness, and my courage suddenly doubled.

I have to hurry up and go home and report to my grandfather, I see Sister Hongying.

When I thought of Uncle Cao being so anxious, Hongying's mother's sallow face, and the appearance that she couldn't eat, my heart felt like a pot of fire burning.

When I arrived at the school gate, I shouted for a long time, and there was no one who passed by.

In order to make it easier for children in the three villages to go to school, this school was built at the junction of the three villages.

There aren't many people during the day, not to mention that it's dark.

There was only one way, to go out of the low wall, through the mound, and go around home.

I slipped off the wall to the wasteland—

In this drowsy hour, every long blade of grass is like an outstretched withered hand.

Every time the wind blows, it is like a child's whining and whimpering.

I swallowed, clasped one hand over the sarcophagus, and stepped along.

Hongying is gone, and I don't dare stretch my imagination and guess where she went.

The only way to do this is to bow your head and quickly cross this wasteland full of children's bones at your feet.

A short laugh interrupted my trip, and I stopped, with three figures standing much taller than me standing in front of me.

Looks like an eleven or twelve-year-old child.

They didn't look like children anymore, each of them had slender limbs, round bellies, skull-like heads, and thin hair on the top of their heads that blocked their white scalps.

The wind weaves through the moor, bringing with it one or two frightened crows or two.

I go to the left, they go to the left, I go to the right, they go to the right.

One of the teeth clicked back and forth, and a strange sound came from the throat.

It took me a long time before I realized it was talking, "Do you have anything to eat?" ”

I shook my head, and all three of them seemed disappointed, and one of them seemed to think of something, "Then we'll eat you." ”
