Chapter 600: Amulet (3)
Zhuang Xuexia was restless all morning. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it.
Xia Menghui realized it later, and only noticed Zhuang Xuexia's abnormal performance at lunch.
"What's wrong with you? That nightmare last night didn't you sleep well? Is it too much consumption? Xia Menghui asked with concern.
Zhuang Xuexia was stunned when she heard this question, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Probably." I always felt like something ......" She was halfway through when she tilted her head slightly and looked behind her.
Behind him is the familiar integrated tables and chairs in the cafeteria, full of students from the same school wearing the same school uniform, and in front of everyone is a stainless steel rice bowl and a stainless steel bowl, which contain exactly the same dishes.
This neat scene makes the slightest difference stand out.
Zhuang Xuexia was startled, looked at it fixedly, and found that it was the teacher sitting among the students.
She sighed again, turned around, and said to Xia Menghui, "It's that I'm thinking too much." Maybe that's what you said, I was so tired in my dream last night. β
Xia Menghui proposed: "In the afternoon physical education class, you can say that you have a period and rest in the classroom." β
Zhuang Xuexia was a little moved.
The two of them ate lunch in the cafeteria slowly, and then went to the commissary behind the school building to buy snacks as usual.
The kiosk is not like a cafeteria, and students line up in an orderly manner.
The crowd that spreads out in a fan shape is a fixture here.
The people inside want to squeeze out, and the people outside want to squeeze in. The innermost students clamored for this and that. The aunt in the commissary has a blank face, like a robot, but she does not have the rigor of a robot, and she will give what she hears to the students, and she does not talk about first come, first served.
Xia Menghui volunteered and asked Zhuang Xuexia to wait outside, and she squeezed in to buy something.
Usually, the two of them would hold hands and never be separated for a moment.
Zhuang Xuexia was also a little lacking in energy, so she leaned against the outer wall of the teaching building and waited.
At first, she could distinguish Xia Menghui's ponytail from many heads, but later she couldn't find any trace of Xia Menghui.
Instead, she found a few of her classmates.
Someone greeted her, "Why are you alone, Xia Menghui?" β
"She's shopping."
"Tell me earlier. I said I just bought it for you. β
Zhuang Xuexia just smiled.
She was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.
Zhuang Xuexia bounced up in fright.
The person who filmed her was frightened.
Zhuang Xuexia saw clearly that the person who was coming was also her classmate, so she said embarrassedly: "Ah, it's you." Who am I......"
"How are you alone? What about Xia Menghui? β
Zhuang Xuexia and Xia Menghui are always anxious and unfocused, and the classmates in the class know that they grew up together, and they are no stranger to this. If one of them is single, he will ask more.
Zhuang Xuexia still replied: "She's shopping." β
The classmate tiptoed and looked at the crowded commissary and shrunk his neck, "Does she have her mobile phone?" β
Zhuang Xuexia nodded.
The classmate was immediately elated and called Xia Menghui, but his expression gradually became disappointed, "It should be muted." Alas......" Her expression was vivid, her facial features were wrinkled together, and finally she gritted her teeth and squeezed into the crowd.
Zhuang Xuexia just wanted to laugh when she looked at it.
As soon as the corners of her mouth curled, she felt a chill in her back.
Zhuang Xuexia's face froze, and she froze on a strange look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Her pupils vibrated and her neck twisted slightly.
Behind her was the faΓ§ade of the school building, and there were no windows or anything like that.
The walls are pale yellow in color with grainy bumps on the surface and are not smooth. The part near the ground was dirty, apparently often kicked and stepped on by students, leaving faint footprints.
There was nothing on the wall.
Zhuang Xuexia still took a step back.
She couldn't say why, but she felt that the wall had suddenly become different.
"Kasumi ......"
"Ahh Zhuang Xuexia screamed.
The students crowded at the entrance of the commissary all looked over, and then some people withdrew their gaze, and some people still glanced at Zhuang Xuexia, one by one, and whispered.
Zhuang Xuexia's face was pale.
Xia Menghui, who was frightened by her screams, was also so frightened that her face turned pale, and the snacks in her hands fell to the ground.
"You...... What happened to you? Xia Menghui asked cautiously.
Zhuang Xuexia swallowed, gasped, and glanced at the wall that she thought was weird just now.
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the wall again.
Zhuang Xuexia's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, sliding down her cheeks and into the collar.
She shuddered.
Xia Menghui picked up the snack she had just bought, "You don't care, right?" Do you want me to accompany you to the health room? Is it unwell? β
Zhuang Xuexia shook her head, "I don't know either...... I, I still don't think it'...... right."
"I'll accompany you to the infirmary." Xia Menghui insisted.
Zhuang Xuexia was supported by her and went to the school's health room.
Zhuang Xuexia herself couldn't tell what was going on. The health care teacher saw that her face was very ugly, and she was a little worried for a while.
"I'll call your homeroom teacher and ask your parents to pick you up." The health teacher said.
Zhuang Xuexia nodded weakly.
Xia Menghui took the lead, reported their class, and helped Zhuang Xuexia get her mobile phone and call Luo Lanjun.
Not long after, their homeroom teacher rushed over and asked Xia Menghui to go back to the classroom first, and she accompanied Zhuang Xuexia and waited for Luo Lanjun to come.
Zhuang Xuexia lay on the bed in the health room, taking a nap with her eyes closed.
As soon as her eyes closed, her vision went dark, and her hearing became sharper.
The sound of rustling in the health room, the conversation between the head teacher and the health care teacher, and the head teacher called Luo Lanjun again......
Footsteps......
Footsteps in the hallway outside the door came and went.
At this point in the lunch break, it is not surprising that there are students walking around outside all the time.
But......
But......
The voice seems to be lingering outside the health room? Is a fixed footstep, is the same person......
Zhuang Xuexia couldn't help but open her eyes.
She looked at the door of the infirmary, but it was empty.
"Zhuang Xuexia, how do you feel? Want some water? Is it a menstrual holiday? As soon as the head teacher saw her open eyes, he asked.
Zhuang Xuexia shook her head.
"Is there anything else uncomfortable?" The head teacher asked again.
Zhuang Xuexia couldn't speak.
"You close your eyes and rest for a while, and when you feel uncomfortable, call me. Your mom will be here soon. β
Zhuang Xuexia nodded and closed her eyes hard.
As soon as he closed his eyes, the footsteps sounded again.
Was it her delusion? Auditory hallucinations?
Or is the footsteps not coming from outside the health room, but from a wall...... Outside the walls of the health room is the outdoor playground. In the middle is a concrete floor. Walking shouldn't sound like this.
Zhuang Xuexia was uneasy.
It occurred to me that the sound might have come from upstairs.
The upper floor is the teacher's office. Maybe there was a teacher walking around there.
There was a physics teacher in the third year of junior high school, and he liked to stand in the hallway. He is often seen standing in the hallway, not knowing what he is looking at. The girls in the class said he was perverted. The boys didn't like him either, saying that the seniors in the third year of junior high school hated him, thought he was a good man, he wasn't a class teacher, and he wasn't the instructor of several clubs, and he still cared so much.
Zhuang Xuexia thought wildly, and her mood unexpectedly calmed down.
The footsteps disappeared somewhere.
She fell asleep in a daze, until she was woken up by Luo Lanjun's voice.
Zhuang Xuexia opened her eyes and saw Luo Lanjun's worried face.
"Mom?" Zhuang Xuexia screamed.
"Awake? Are you okay? Are you still feeling unwell? Luo Lanjun asked.
Zhuang Xuexia shook her head, just woken up and a little sleepy.
Luo Lanjun said a few words to the head teacher, and then pulled up Zhuang Xuexia.
Zhuang Xuexia saw Luo Lanjun carrying her schoolbag.
"Huihui has sorted it out for you. Alright, let's go home. Luo Lanjun said, and said hello to the head teacher again.
Zhuang Xuexia was led by Luo Lanjun, and under Luo Lanjun's reminder, she said goodbye to the head teacher and health teacher.
Walking out of the school building, she realized that it was the first class in the afternoon.
There were students on the playground, but they weren't classmates in her class. The physical education class in their class is the second period in the afternoon.
Luo Lanjun asked, "Did you have a nightmare last night, and you feel uncomfortable today?" Sleepy? I'll tell you, your father's amulet, you carry. What is there to do with your dad? Are you still afraid that he will laugh at you? Your dad is worried, too. I'll be back later. β
Zhuang Xuexia lowered her head and remained silent.
Luo Lanjun called a car at the school gate and pushed Zhuang Xuexia to sit up.
Zhuang Xuexia looked at the school that was gradually moving away outside the car window, and was a little sleepy in the slight vibration of the vehicle.
Probably like Luo Lanjun said, she didn't sleep well in her dream last night...... Huihui also said before...... And Xiao Ming......
Zhuang Xuexia took out her mobile phone and came out.
She saw the text message prompt she had missed.
The talisman of "Strange Stories" has been delivered, and the courier has dropped it off at her doorstep.
Zhuang Xuexia was in good spirits.
She showed a little joy, and remembered the purpose of looking at her phone, opened the chat group with Xiao Ming and Huihui, and flipped through the chat history.
Sure enough, the cultivation of the monk who Xiao Ming mentioned to manipulate the dream realm was very sad.
She just tried too hard in the nightmare last night, and she will do this today.
"What are you looking at? The expression is the same for a while. Luo Lanjun asked.
"Nothing. My courier arrived. Zhuang Xuexia put away her mobile phone.
Luo Lanjun frowned, "Is it the talisman you bought online?" β
"Hmm. I don't need Dad's that. Zhuang Xuexia said disgustedly.
Luo Lanjun disagreed, "Your father's one has proved to be effective, and your new one has just arrived ......."
"I'm sure that one will work." Zhuang Xuexia accentuated her tone.
Although she questioned the "strange talk and strange news" not long ago, Xiao Ming did not believe in the "strange talk and strange news", but Huihui believed it very much.
Zhuang Xuexia didn't weigh the pros and cons, but she just didn't want Zhuang Baoli's rustic talisman.
Luo Lanjun didn't say anything more. She thought, if she can't do it, she secretly stuffed Zhuang Baoli's talisman into the mezzanine pocket of Zhuang Xuexia's schoolbag. Zhuang Xuexia has always been lazy in terms of storage and organization, and she will definitely not find any clues.
The two arrived home.
When Zhuang Xuexia saw the express box at the door, she showed joy.
She couldn't wait to pick up the express box and urged Luo Lanjun to open the door.
As soon as she entered the house, she found scissors to disassemble the courier.
Luo Lanjun put her schoolbag into the bedroom, and then went into the bathroom, and while washing her hands, she called Zhuang Xuexia: "Remember to wash your hands after you open the express." Get some sleep later. Calling you to dinner in the evening. β
"Got it, got it." Zhuang Xuexia dealt with it casually.
Some crushed aircraft boxes are simply sealed with scotch tape, which is fairly easy to disassemble.
After dismantling, the first thing you see is a folded A4 paper manual.
Zhuang Xuexia didn't think about it, picked up the paper with black characters on a white background, opened it casually, and her eyes fell on the box.
Inside the box are three small red dark stripes that are lying flat without any packaging.
Zhuang Xuexia was stunned.
The key came to open the door.
"You're back? How about Xiaxia? Zhuang Baoli's voice sounded immediately.
Zhuang Xuexia's face changed, she stuffed the A4 paper into the box, and closed the box with a "snap".
Luo Lanjun came out of the bathroom, "Just came back." It looks like nothing. Maybe I had a nightmare last night and didn't sleep well. β
"Hey, I said I was going to wear that amulet, but she wouldn't listen." Zhuang Baoli bent down to change his shoes and complained, "I haven't had a nightmare since I wore this amulet. β
Zhuang Xuexia's face became even more ugly, and two blushes appeared on her cheeks.
She picked up the box and staggered back to her room.
"Xiaxia? Dad, you wear that amulet first. The two I bought will be able to-"
"I don't want it! I already have! Zhuang Xuexia interrupted Zhuang Baoli's words, but she didn't look back and closed the door directly.
Zhuang Baoli was stunned and looked at Luo Lanjun.
Luo Lanjun said helplessly: "The one she bought online has arrived." β
Zhuang Baoli frowned.
Luo Lanjun glanced at Zhuang Xuexia's door, lowered his voice, and told Zhuang Baoli the idea he had just thought of.
Zhuang Baoli was dissatisfied, "Just indulge her like this? That's the important thing. Why didn't she say she wouldn't listen? β
Luo Lanjun said: "You also said that this is an important matter. Let's do it first. I'll talk about it later. β
Zhuang Baoli still wanted to refute, but was patted on the arm by Luo Lanjun. Luo Lanjun said: "I'll go buy some food." What do you want to eat at night? β
Zhuang Baoli said angrily: "She is full of anger." It's obviously for her good, cares about her, and is sneaky. β
"Alright, alright. You see Huihui's family is not like this. Save yourself from quarrels. Luo Lanjun was also a little perfunctory, and changed his shoes again, "Don't quarrel with her." Let her sleep for a while. Didn't sleep well last night. β
Zhuang Baoli was still muttering: "Didn't she make it herself? I had already let her wear an amulet. β
Luo Lanjun didn't say anything more, and went out directly.
Zhuang Baoli glanced at Zhuang Xuexia's door, hesitated for a while, but walked over and opened the door gently.
The curtains were drawn in the room, and the light was dim, and only the human figure bulging out of the bed could be seen.
Zhuang Baoli gently closed the door again.
Zhuang Xuexia, who was hiding in the quilt, immediately popped up.
She lifted the clasped mobile phone, bit her lip, and sent a message in the group:
After sending several messages in a row, she posted a series of crazy expressions.
Before that, she had already posted a video, taking pictures of the simple airplane box, the simple manual, and the simple amulet.
After filming, he crumpled things up and threw them in the trash.
Zhuang Xuexia angrily wanted to send a long bad review to "Strange Stories" - ah, no, she didn't buy it in an online store, she sent it directly from the other party, and there was no place to give a bad review.
Then you should write a lightning protection complaint, post it directly on Weibo, and send it under your account!
Other bloggers are posting unboxing videos, and the content of the fan repo is all beautiful, and this is what she received.
It's even worse than Zhuang Baoli's earth-shattering talisman!
Zhuang Xuexia was so angry, but Xiao Ming and Xia Menghui didn't reply immediately.
Both of them are in class.
Zhuang Xuexia was helpless, turned over, took out her mobile phone again, and opened Weibo.
She wrote a comment angrily, but it was when she posted the picture that she remembered that she hadn't opened a membership.
She wanted to post a separate Weibo complaint by herself, and then @weird talk strange news, but as soon as she clicked on the interface, she heard Zhuang Baoli's footsteps.
Zhuang Xuexia hurriedly withdrew her hand, hid her mobile phone under the covers, and closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Zhuang Baoli opened the door and came to her bedside.
Zhuang Xuexia became nervous, and soon felt that Zhuang Baoli had stuffed something under her pillow.
Zhuang Baoli finished this and left.
Zhuang Xuexia opened her eyes, and by the light of the mobile phone screen, she reached under her pillow and groped.
She pulled out the amulet that had exploded.
Zhuang Xuexia pursed her lips, but still stuffed the talisman back under the pillow.
She glanced at her phone and happened to see the reply sent by Xia Menghui.
Xia Menghui naturally shared her hatred and scolded the garbage goods of "strange talk and strange news" together.
After a while, Xiao Ming also sent a reply:
Zhuang Xuexia bit her lip.
Xiao Ming reminded again:
Zhuang Xuexia was deflated all of a sudden.
She threw away her phone, covered her head with a quilt, and after a while, she fell asleep completely.
