Chapter 2 Marry Him or Die
It was only through the evening that the flowers and vines let go of me when I could faintly hear the roosters crowing in the mountain village. I was already in pain, and I could only tilt my head and look at the blood stains on the flowers that were getting farther and farther away with teary eyes.
I don't have the strength to joke anymore, and I know exactly what's going on. I'm tm quilted!
After I had rested for a while and was able to move, I shuffled my feet and went to give myself a hot bath. In the mountain village, the conditions are very difficult, there is no water heater, and the hot water is still used with a gas stove and a large kettle, and then the water is washed in the shower room made in a cubicle in the courtyard.
I was crying and washing myself, and there were even some broken petals left on my legs.
Back in my room, I sat on the bed and called my mom. It took a long time for the phone to connect, and at this time, I guess even my mother didn't get up.
"Mom, I'm going back, I can't stay here anymore." I cried.
My mom asked me in a muffled voice, "What's wrong with you?" ”
I didn't dare my mom to tell the truth. What do you want me to say? Say I'm being given that by the wild flowers outside the window? Who believes? If it weren't for the feeling of that place, I wouldn't believe it! All I can say is that it's too hard here, the beds are too hard, there's no place to shower, etc. All of a sudden, I wish it was raining, and it was raining so much that I would let this room be flooded so that I would have a reason to get out of here.
My mom said to me, "You should be safe then." Xiangting, now being a teacher is very popular. Especially a young female teacher like you. As soon as the grassroots teachers come back after three years, you can see who is not married to those city leaders. Now, the female teachers in the city's elementary schools are all official wives. Just bear with it. After three years, she became an official's wife. ”
I couldn't tell my mom, so I hung up. I firmly believe that what happened last night, not my dreams, nor my fantasies, must be real! I can't talk to anyone yet.
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I walked out of the house, out of the school, found the hoe I had dropped last night, and hit it a few times against the mound. scolded fiercely: "I'll you, bully me!" Sooner or later I'll have bulldozed! ”
I didn't dare to linger there any longer, and ran out again.
During class, I was very patient with those children who were called Ah Di and Ah Mei at home, and didn't even know what their names were, and sent books to help them write their names one by one, so that they could read their names to me first.
During recess activities, Mr. Liao, who was about to retire, who was sitting at the desk next to me, asked me in a low voice, "Mr. Yin, have you encountered something?" Maybe I can help you. ”
My face was white, red. This old man's eyes are about to narrow, how can he still tell that something is wrong with me? I don't even dare to say that kind of thing to my own mother, how can I tell him. Anyway, I won't believe it, that is to say, it is just a point that makes people laugh at it. I can only say that the accommodation is poor and I am not used to it.
Teacher Liao smiled and said, "Little girls from the city, few of them can endure these hardships. He let out a long breath, stretched out his right hand like a fortune teller, nodded his finger and said, "Sixteen years, sixteen years." In the past 16 years, we have had three female teachers in our school. The first two died on the night of August 15. Your third. After he finished speaking, he pointed to the old yellow calendar hanging by the wall. It's the kind that tears one a day.
I looked over and it saw that it was the 12th day of August.
I also smiled and said, "Fifteen is Friday, and I will go home on Thursday night and not live in school." ”
Teacher Liao still smiled and said, "Some things are doomed. ”
In the afternoon, the school is basically closed. The principal and a few male teachers helped me pick up the tiles, and the teachers helped me reinstall the water and electricity. The room was cleaned up and it was indeed a lot cleaner and tidy.
A few girls in the fifth grade also gave me two half-bloomed lotus flowers, which I raised in a mineral water bottle and placed in front of the window. The window was still closed, and I was afraid that it would never be opened again.
As night fell, I was even more scared than the night before. I always feel that this place is either haunted or there are monsters! Those flowers are monsters.
I didn't dare to sleep and played games with my phone. His eyes casually looked at the lotus flowers in front of the window. Those lotus flowers that bloomed well during the day are now all wilted, and they have suddenly turned yellow. And it's changed at a speed that can be seen with the naked eye.
My frightened heart raced, I stood up, rushed to the yard, grabbed a kitchen knife, and faced the window. This kitchen knife is still the only weapon I have here. I thought to myself, if those flowers dared to come, I would cut them down. In such a tense situation, I was trembling all over my body and licking my lips.
Putin once said: "When a fight is inevitable, do it first!" ”
Thinking about the shame of last night, the fear and anger in my heart rose at the same time. I made up my mind, and I walked out of the school with my kitchen knife in hand, walked to the mound of dirt, and slashed down at the yellow flowers, saying, "I'm not afraid!" These flowers, I tear them off, and they break when I pinch them. I'll hack you to death! ”
If anyone had seen me at that time, they would have thought I was crazy. Finally, I specially picked the only small yellow flower that was still intact and crushed it in the palm of my hand little by little. "See? Dare to touch me again, try! I'll set a fire and burn your vines one by one! Hum! ”
After such a fuss, I sweated all over. After scolding, the person was also comfortable. Take a hot shower and go to sleep. I wasn't harassed by those flowers that night. But in a daze, it seemed to hear a man's voice say, "Marry me obediently, or you will die." ”
When I woke up, I remembered the voice, and at the same time, I also thought of what Teacher Liao said that the first two female teachers died on the night of August 15. If it was before, I wouldn't believe this, but now, after being like that, I can't believe it.
I'm the third, I'm going to die too? The first thing I did when I went to the office was to look at the old yellow calendar on the wall, which was the thirteenth day of the lunar calendar, and there were still two days to go. I'm going to be home in the fourteenth night! Fifteen, no matter what happens, I'm not here anyway. I don't believe that those flower demons can grow dozens of kilometers away in the city. Even if they grow there, the traffic on the road can crush them into a pulp.
In the afternoon, two black Audis drove up to the school. I was still in class when the principal approached the office and said that those people were looking for me.
I looked at the middle-aged people with a puzzled expression, and one of the older ones, the old man with a cane, looked me up and down for a long time before saying, "What's your name?" ”
Before I could speak, the principal replied with a flattering face: "Yin Xiangting, Teacher Yin." Hehe. ”
The old man said, "You prepare, fifteen nights, and get married." We're here to see people and prepare dresses for you. While the old man was talking, a woman had already come up and pulled the ruler at her.
I pushed her away and said loudly, "I don't know you. ”
The headmaster frowned and said, "Teacher Yin, polite, polite." ”
"I don't know them, and what do they say? Getting married? The one who married the dead? Why should I marry a dead man? ”
The old man looked at me and said slowly, "If you don't marry, you will die." Let's go, I guess it's not wronged by you. ”
The men just walked out of the office. I pointed to their background, almost choking. "Headmaster, who are these? So dragging? What is a yin marriage? Haha, what age. ”
The principal took a math book, slapped the hand I was pointing, and said, "They moved out of the village, and their family is the most prosperous in the village." In the family, many people are big officials outside. Their ancestors also had a great general. ”
"The general can't pull someone to get married. Do they really think that the earth revolves around their home? "I went to class in a huff.
When I returned to the office after class, I looked at Teacher Liao, thinking about what he said, and the fifteen female teachers would die. And the voice from last night: "Marry me obediently, or you will die." And what the old man said just now: "If you don't marry, you will die." "Are these coincidences?
