"A strange thing happened a few days ago, have you heard?" Guan Qing mysteriously leaned over to me and whispered.

There were still more than ten minutes before the start of the mythology class, and I was napping in the classroom, while Guan Qing kept playing with his mobile phone.

"What's weird?" I yawned, feeling like glue on my eyelids. It's the New Year in a few days.,Tianbei groceries have been crowded with monsters who asked me to help write greeting cards for five consecutive nights.,Last night and almost didn't sleep all night.,I decided to turn on the calling system.,Limited service every day.,Otherwise, sooner or later, one day will die of overwork.。

"The mistress of a man died, and a big snake ran to her urn on the day of her burial, and kowtowed to the ground, and not only burst into tears, but also bled his head. "After Guan Qing knew that I could see monsters, he began to pay special attention to all kinds of anecdotes.

"Oh, that's weird. "In normal times, I would have been interested in asking for clarification, but today I am so sleepy that I don't even want to speak.

"yes, do you think this has something to do with youkai?"

"I don't know," I yawned again, "I'll sleep first, the teacher will call me." "Guan Qing seems to have said something to me, but I don't want to think about anything but sleep now.

"Knock knock. "Someone seems to be knocking on the door?

"Knock knock, wake up. "This voice is a little familiar, who is it...

"Come, this classmate, I'm already in class, I'll go to sleep after class. I jerked my head up from the table, and in front of me was the big face of the mythology teacher.

"Are you still sleepy? Come, get up and answer a question, and you won't be sleepy. ”

My brain hadn't reacted yet, but my body reflexively stood up.

"Why did you choose my course? "This strange teacher has never introduced himself, on the school's official website found that his name is Fu Bai, 53 years old, the main research direction is mythology, folk culture and other fields, it seems that he has also published a book, although he is a strange person, but the lectures are still very interesting, throughout the ancient and modern, citing classics, easy to come.

"Because of interest. "My mind started to think again.

"I'm still asleep if I'm interested. He laughed, as if he had no reproach.

"Teacher Fu, I'm really sorry, I slept too late yesterday...", I regretted it, in case he asked me why I slept so late, how would I answer.

"Well, it's okay, people, there are always times when you're tired, and it's normal. He walked back to the podium and picked up the lesson plan in his hand, "What's your name?"

“... Ye Ke. ”

Fu Bai sketched on the lesson plan, "Oh, you are Ye Ke, the first few homework assignments have been completed quite well, very insightful, it seems that you are indeed interested, just sit down when you are sober." He picked up the chalk again, turned around and wrote on the board.

"Why don't you call me?" I asked Guan Qing with a resentful face.

"I've called you countless times, but you didn't hear me!" Guan Qing danced with his hands.

It seems that I have wronged him, "What did you just say?" I asked.

Guan Qing moved the notes in front of me, empty, and it seemed that he didn't say anything important.

"Come on, students, let's talk about something that you all care about today, the final exam. Fu Bai knocked on the blackboard and pointed to the three words "no theme" written by himself, "Have you seen these three words?" I guess you have all heard of it before you choose my class, I have never produced a paper for the final exam, you only need to give me something that you think can prove your learning results during this time, the theme is not limited, the genre is not limited, whether you are writing articles, drawing, doing PPT or something, you can even come to chat with me directly, as long as I think you have gained something in this class, it's okay. "Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and this way of examining was a blessing in the miserable final exam month.

"But," he said, "you should have heard that I can't pass this class casually, and there are many students who have made up articles from the Internet to make up for it, and of course this can't be passed." So I also said hello to you in advance, and immediately signed up for my class, I will be down-to-earth, start and finish well, and I will never be embarrassed by serious students. "The classmates who were still snickering just now were beaten back to the bottom.

"Okay, then let's continue with the last lesson, "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" Volume 14 Middle ......"

For a full thirty minutes, Fu Bai stood on the podium for a while, danced for a while, wrote key words on the blackboard for a while, and imitated the movements of the characters in the book for a while, everyone seemed to have forgotten the content of the final exam, and they were all amused by his lessons. Why is it that only so few people take such a good course every year?

As soon as the bell rang for the end of class, Fu Bai immediately suspended the class, he never dragged the class, clean and neat, "That's all for today's class, by the way, Ye Ke, you wait for me, don't leave yet." ”

It's over, it must be because of the matter of sleeping in class, "Guan Qing, you go and return the books first, and I'll see you in the library later." Guan Qing had a look of pity on my face.

Soon, only Fu Bai and I were left in the classroom. He walked up to me, sat down in a chair in the row in front of me, and turned around.

"Don't be nervous, I just wanted to talk to you about your last homework. He spoke first, "I'm curious, why did you choose such an unpopular topic as sharks, and even added illustrations?" Pulling out my homework from the folder, he said while looking at it, "You write beautifully, and you can draw well, have you studied before?"

"No, I've been painting since I was a child, just casually. "I said, a little wary of his concern for the merman.

"Draw casually..."Fu Bai looked at me with interest, "You asked me to draw such realistic illustrations casually, I can't draw them." And you know so much about the merman, you have checked a lot of information. ”

“... Well. ”

"And how did you get the little information in these sources?" his question became more and more unresponsive to my question.

“... Imagine plus speculate. ”

"Speculation? On what premise, is it possible," he paused for a few seconds and looked thoughtfully into my eyes, "Do you also know that some time ago, there was a legendary shark silk on the market?"

Sure enough, he knew about it too.

"The kind of shark silk that is not wet when you see the water, like a veil like wings, and is beautiful?" I deliberately pretended not to know, "Is there really such a thing?"

"I also quite said, in this era, I dare to say anything in the media. "He shouldn't be sure what I know," "Where did the conjecture about the merman singing and showing love come from in your homework?"

"I got my inspiration from the sirens in Greek mythology, but judging from the records, the merman is much kinder, will not hurt humans at will, and will even take the initiative to help humans in response to human requests, so I speculate that the merman should appear under the moon to sing and show love. "It's good that I usually read some books, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with it today.

"Well, the idea is good and convincing. Do you still like foreign mythology? Have you read Campbell's books?"

"Hero with a Thousand Faces" is roughly turned over. I replied, "But I didn't finish it." ”

"Very good," Fu Bai nodded, "I just want to talk to you about academic issues, don't mind." I find you're always sleepy, huh?"

“... I'm sorry, I work part-time outside and have to work the night shift. "Sure enough, I still be asked about sleeping in class.

"Where's the part-time night shift?" he seemed to be interested in my work, too, "Oh, it's okay if you don't want to say it, I'll just ask." ”

“... At a grocery store. ”

"The grocery store has a night shift? ”

"The owner is old and the shop is a bit old, so someone needs to watch the shop at night. ”

"That's right," Fu Bai pursed his lips, "You're still working hard, pay attention to your body." There's nothing else to do, it's just that I see that your homework is very special, and I want to talk to you. His tone was always gentle, giving a sense of unmistakability, but I still didn't feel at ease.

I awkwardly cooperated with him and laughed twice, and the conversation ended, and before leaving the classroom, Fu Bai stopped me again.

"By the way, Yeke, remember to tell your cat, the human place, it's better to come less. ”
