Chapter 5 Telephone calls must be made separately
In less than ten minutes of driving, Lin Xu rushed to the school with Guan Wentao.
It's just that winter vacation is different from summer vacation, especially today. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival, and the teachers and staff of the school are also going home to reunite with their families for the New Year. Therefore, although the school also sent people to stay on duty during the holidays, Uncle Chai who was the doorkeeper was not among them.
After all, the old man is old, and the weather is cold in winter, so as early as the twenty-third day of the month of the Chinese New Year's Eve a year ago, he has already gone home to celebrate the New Year. The rest of the faculty and staff also left one after another to go home, and in the end, only a few security guards from the security department remained in the school to watch the school, and the gatekeepers were also replaced by a few security guards on duty.
But today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the security guard in the gatehouse doesn't know where to go. After Lin Xu and Guan Wentao got out of the car, they found that there was no one in the gatehouse, and the school gate was locked. I don't know if the security guard who stayed behind thought that no one would come over on the first day of the new year, so he skipped work and sneaked home for the New Year. Or maybe it's just not here at this time, and go to the back security section to get together for a drink and chat.
Lin Xu and Guan Wentao had to rush back to the village to go home for lunch at noon, so they didn't plan to drive the car into the school, they just parked at the door and they went in. But now the side doors of the gate are locked, and there is no one in the porter, and they can't get in.
I glanced through the railing door, but I saw that the school was quiet and nowhere to be seen. The security department was still behind the teaching building, quite far from the gate, and Lin Xu didn't know if there was anyone inside.
After thinking about it, he didn't bother to call someone, turned his head and said directly to Guan Wentao: "Forget it, let's stop shouting, just jump over the wall and enter!"
When Guan Wentao heard this, he immediately nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, jump over the wall." ”
Lin Xu stretched out his hand and pointed to the west wall, and said, "Then let's go to the playground behind us and jump in the low place where the wall is low." ”
He is now improving his internal strength, and his light skills are also more skillful. The entire wall of Wuxiang Middle School, he can jump over it anywhere, and he doesn't need to choose a low place. Now he is saying this for Guan Wentao's consideration. After all, with Guan Wentao's current skills, he can't perform any light skills, but the bounce power is a little stronger than before.
In fact, he can also take Guan Wentao to perform light skills together, and it doesn't take much effort. It's just that he doesn't want to hold a man, even if Guan Wentao is his friend, he has no interest. Last time in the capital, he also took that Feng Dong to perform light skills together, but at that time he was just carrying Feng Dong's collar. But if you treat Guan Wentao like this, you can't help but not respect your friends a little bit.
So, it's better to jump separately and take a little more detours. And for them, jumping over the wall is actually a fun and game. When they were young, they often had to compare whether they could climb over which wall, or who could climb higher, and so on.
The place in the playground behind him is the place where students in the school often choose to jump over the wall, not only the position is low, but it is more conducive to climbing, and the wall has long been made out of the foothold. Even if Guan Wentao hadn't practiced martial arts before, it wouldn't take much effort to get over there, let alone now.
When Guan Wentao heard this, he nodded in agreement, and then walked towards the west wall with Lin Xu.
The restaurant on the west side in front of the school gate was also closed during the Chinese New Year, and the owner and employees went home for the past year. And they also went back before the 23rd day of the lunar month before the Chinese New Year's Eve, and did not wait until the end of the year. Anyway, it's about to be the New Year, and every household in the village is busy, and the restaurant has no business.
It's just that they went home after closing down, but Lin Xu, who was still in school at that time, had no place to eat. I had no choice but to go home and bring my own dry food, and sometimes I was invited by Huang Rong to go to Taoyuan to eat with their father and daughter. The closure of the hotel also caused a lot of inconvenience to their father and daughter. I used to go to restaurants to eat when I didn't want to cook, but now I can only cook three meals a day.
"Lin Xu!"
When Lin Xu and Guan Wentao walked to the door of the hotel in the west, they suddenly heard Huang Rong's shout. When he turned his head, he saw Huang Rong waving at him in the courtyard of the Taoyuan opposite.
Taoyuan is Huang Zongwen's current home, so their father and daughter are still in Taoyuan for the New Year. Huang Zongwen changed his name and surname and retired to live here, so his former hometown is naturally not mentioned, this is their current home.
was stopped by Huang Rong, and Lin Xu also took Guan Wentao to stop temporarily. And after Huang Rong shouted, he immediately hurried over. After rushing over, she asked Lin Xu with a smile: "Why did you run back to school when you didn't stay at home for the New Year?"
After speaking, she smiled and nodded to Guan Wentao next to her. As one of Lin Xu's few friends of the same age, Huang Rong naturally met Guan Wentao a few times and knew him, but she and Guan Wentao naturally didn't know each other well, and they didn't talk much. So at this time, he just nodded his head, even if he said hello.
When Lin Xu heard this, he replied: "I came to the school to make a call, and Teacher Yan sent me a New Year's message on the pager, and I will reply to her." ”
He told the truth, he said so to his parents, Guan Wentao asked on the road, he also said the same, and now he is the same with Huang Rong. As for the important part, it was concealed that he had to reply to Wei Qingyi.
"It's Teacher Yan again!" Huang Rong said with some displeasure when he heard this: "I also sent you a New Year's greeting message, haven't you seen it, why don't you tell me to give me a reply?"
Lin Xu shook his head and said helplessly: "We are so close, is it necessary to go back, didn't I come over with everyone?"
"You didn't come back to me!" Huang Rong glared at him.
Lin Xu said: "I plan to call Teacher Yan back first, and then I will go to Taoyuan to personally greet you and Teacher Huang." ”
He is also telling the truth, and he does have this plan. Since everyone is here, I will also go over to Huang Zongwen to pay a New Year's greeting. Huang Zongwen not only served as his teacher, but also gave him martial arts secrets and personally instructed him in martial arts, although he did not have the name of master and apprentice, but he had the reality of master and apprentice, and he also respected Huang Zongwen very much in his heart. It's just that he doesn't want to be controlled by more real masters on his head, so he doesn't really worship Huang Zongwen as a teacher on the grounds of the fictitious "master who doesn't know the name yet".
"Really?" Huang Rong asked him with scrutiny when he heard this.
"Of course it is. Lin Xu nodded.
"It's true, Lin Xu told me on the road. Guan Wentao interjected beside him at this time. He was also telling the truth, Lin Xu did mention this to him on the road.
Huang Rong saw that Guan Wentao also said this, so he was convinced, nodded happily, and asked again: "Then why don't you go to the school, what are you going to this way?"
Lin Xu said: "The school door is locked, there is no one in the gatehouse, and the security department doesn't know what to do." I didn't want to scream, so I just wanted to jump over the wall and go in. ”
"Is there no one in the concierge?" Huang Rong couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "I didn't even pay attention." Maybe I'm going to drink in the back again, anyway, no one will come to school these days. ”
After a pause, she said, "Then you can go to my house and call, and jump over the wall, it's too troublesome." Since you're going to my house, isn't that a matter of course!"
Lin Xu said: "I still want to fight alone, it's more convenient." ”
"Who will eavesdrop on your phone call, let's go, it's the same when you come to my house to call!" Huang Rong heard this, but he couldn't help but say, and directly reached out to pull Lin Xu's hand.
Seeing this, Lin Xu was caught by her, took a step back, and a little under his feet, he was already on the roof of the hotel next to him. After jumping on the roof, he said to Huang Rong: "I still want to fight by myself." After that, he said to Guan Wentao: "Wentao, you wait for me, I will finish the fight soon." ”
After the words fell, without waiting for the two to reply, they turned around and made another vertical leap, jumping along the roof of the hotel to the wall next to the school, and then jumped again, jumping onto the roof of the first row of dormitories on the west side of the adjacent school. Then he didn't land at all, and jumped one after another, straight to the back.
Huang Rong and Guan Wentao don't know how to work lightly, so naturally they can't catch up, so they can only sigh with admiration. Huang Rong scolded helplessly, "This stinky boy!"
But after scolding, I couldn't help it, I thought about it, and I didn't think of a way to enter the school again, so I waited here with Guan Wentao. She could have gone to the playground at the back of the west to climb over the wall and enter the school, but at Lin Xu's speed, when she entered, maybe he would have already finished the phone call and came out, so there was really no need for this, so she could only sulk.
Lin Xu could have actually left Guan Wentao outside alone, and he went in alone with light skills, which was faster and more convenient. But he originally planned to go in with Guan Wentao, wait for him to finish the phone call, and then play with Guan Wentao at school for a while. Then when it was almost time to eat, he came out and went to the opposite Taoyuan to meet Huang Zongwen's father and daughter, give them a New Year's greeting, and then he didn't stay long, he took Guan Wentao and drove back to the village.
But now that he met Huang Rong in advance, it disrupted his plan, and he could only change his plan temporarily and go in first by himself. Anyway, he had to make this call alone, because it involved Wei Qingyi, and he didn't want others to know about him and Wei Qingyi. Even if he originally brought Guan Wentao in, he would first switch Wentao when he called, so that Guan Wentao could play outside alone for a while.
Lin Xu performed light skills, and soon crossed the teaching building and arrived at the back of the student dormitory. The Security Section is also located in the back part of the dormitory, in the first room in the third row behind the East Wing Building.
Lin Xu glanced at it when he passed by, and indeed found that several security guards in charge of the security department who were on duty were all gathered inside to drink and watch TV, and they were still playing poker. At the same time, this poker game is also a drinking order, whoever loses drinks, and there are a few snacks next to it, and the game is quite lively.
Lin Xu glanced at the roof next to him, shook his head, and didn't bother to pay attention to the negligence of these security guards. Then he jumped again, and jumped into his dormitory in the fourth row behind, and landed directly in front of his dormitory door.
In the second half of last year, in order to plan to skip a grade and go on to higher education, he also bought a laptop before the start of school to consult materials and assist in learning. However, if you want to access information online, you don't just need to have a computer, you also need to be able to connect to the Internet.
Therefore, later, he also applied to the school, handled a telephone line at his own expense, and opened the dial-up Internet function. After the telephone line was pulled in, in addition to installing a modem, a telephone was also installed by the way.
In fact, if he wants to connect to the Internet, he can also pull a network cable directly from Li Feiyan's dormitory, and only need to install an additional router there. But Lin Xu pulled a phone line alone, also in order to install a phone, which was more convenient for him to contact Wei Qingyi. Otherwise, I have to go to Li Feiyan's side to call every time, which is also very inconvenient. Because he doesn't want to make his relationship with Wei Qingyi public to Li Feiyan yet, he has to avoid Li Feiyan every time. It's more convenient to install a phone in your own dormitory, you can call whenever you want, and it is also convenient for Wei Qingyi to call him.
Now that he has a phone in his dormitory, he naturally goes to his dormitory to call.
After taking out the key and opening the door, I went to the desk to make a call. He first dialed the paging station of Wei Qingyi's pager, left a message for Wei Qingyi, and then left a message for Li Feiyan.
Because he met Huang Rong in advance, he was afraid that Huang Rong might follow up, so he didn't wait for the two to call back at this time. The messages left are so that the two of them don't have to call back. Anyway, he will go back to school tomorrow, and there will be an opportunity at that time, so there is no need to rush at this time.
After leaving messages for the two of them, he turned around and went out. After locking the door, he went out of the room directly, and soon left the school and jumped back to the front of the hotel.
