Chapter 8: Weird
"The Xie family? Since ancient times, the Xie family has valued martial arts and light literature, and they are most at odds with the Su family, maybe they are too lazy to risk the long journey across Middle-earth and not come to participate in this school. Qiong also pursed her lips, "But I don't have time to worry about that, Lu Yanshan alone is enough to give me a headache." ”
"What's wrong? Won't the eldest lady let you in? ”
"That's right!" Joan was also very depressed: "The door is closed, you don't have to guess how far she wants me to roll." ”
"Hahahaha, senior sister, I sympathize with you." Lu Li said laughingly: "Why don't you come to our room at night to make a bunk."
"Come to your room? Forget it, don't ruin this girl's reputation. Qiong also pretended to be angry and gave Lu Li a palm, "Your senior sister and I are already in time, can we still be like when we were children?" ”
Lu Li took a few steps back, arched his hand and smiled: "Be taught."
The two walked along the street, and after a short time of wandering, Lu Li seemed to think of something: "Senior sister, when arranging the dormitory, I heard that the house where we studied was temporarily converted into a school, and it seems that something happened before, which is a little weird." They said......"
"Stop, stop!" Qiong was also like a great enemy, and immediately stopped Lu Li's words: "Weird? What's weird? You know that your senior sister and I are afraid of ghosts, but don't scare me! ”
"Ouch! I forgot! Lu Li covered his mouth and changed his words: "Senior sister, the school is very normal!" I didn't hear anyone say anything! ”
Lu Li, the junior brother, has always been very discerning, and Qiong also understood, smiled, patted his arm, and didn't hear anything just now.
The two stopped in front of a rice wine shop, and Qiong also asked for two bowls of rice wine dumplings, and sat at a small table on the side of the street with Lu Li. She leaned half-leaned and knocked her fingers on the table without a moment: "Xiao Qi, you say, why don't I go find an inn to live in?"
"Senior sister, do you have enough money?" Lu Li scooped the rice balls in the bowl and asked rhetorically.
When they set off, the Lu family gave a certain amount of silver taels as a small amount of money, but after all, the money is not much and the days of studying are still long, so it is impractical to stay in the inn for a long time.
Qiong Yi sighed, "When I left, Ah Luo gave me all the wages she had saved for half a year, and it would not be a problem to live outside for a few days." After a few days of teaching, I will go to the master and ask if I can move down the accommodation. ”
Lu Li said enviously: "Sister Zhu treats you so well." ”
"Yes, Arlo is the best person in the world who treats me well."
Qiong Yi said, stirring the rice wine that had just been served, and she ate it with relish, "Yichuan's glutinous rice wine is really worthy of its reputation." She sighed, "Let's go, let's go with me to find an inn and walk around it for two more laps." ”
"Don't be late for morning class tomorrow, senior sister."
*
Because of Lu Li's instructions, Qiong Yi specially got up early in the morning and returned to the academy, but he didn't want to go to the wrong lecture hall, and he didn't return to his classroom until most of the morning class, and collided with the master holding the scriptures.
"Sir! … I ......" Joan was standing at the door of the classroom, and just as she was about to defend herself, more than a dozen pairs of eyes in the room looked at her in unison.
"Yo! I thought I would be the first to skip class, but I didn't expect to be preempted. A well-dressed boy whistled and laughed playfully.
"Su Ye, shut up!" The master said in a serious tone.
The little boy known as Su Ye nodded with a smile, spread his hands and put them on his chest, looking at the books on the table as if nothing had happened.
Su Ye? Qiong has also heard that this person is the only son of the Su clan master, named Ye, and the name is Yiyang. She thought to herself, she had heard that this person was acting more casually, and it seemed that the rumors were true.
"Which family are you a disciple?" The master frowned and looked at Qiong Yi. Qiong also took her eyes off Su Ye and replied, "Sir, I am from the Lu family. My name is Joan Yi... Ah no! My name is Lu Xiyan, and I arrived late because I went to the wrong classroom, and I hope Mr. will bear with me. ”
The master moved his lips and said in a much slower tone: "Okay, come in and listen to the lecture quickly."
"Thank you, sir." Joan bowed and walked into the house quickly to find her place. She sighed softly, a little annoyed that nothing good had happened lately, but bad things were endless. When he raised his cheeks and was about to listen carefully, his eyes inadvertently fell on the table in front of him, and the man was straight, the only boy who had just looked back at her, but kept looking down at the book.
Qiong Yi stared at his neat hair, and when he gradually became distracted in the sound of his master's reading, he suddenly slapped something behind him, Qiong Yi turned his head to look, only to see Su Ye holding a paper ball in one hand, and when she turned around, she suppressed her voice and chuckled: "If you don't read a book, what is he doing?" Otherwise, look at me. ”
“?”
Joan also turned her head and secretly slandered in her heart: hell.
At the end of the school day, the master walked out of the classroom slowly, and the room began to come alive. Su Ye walked to Qiong Yi's table in three or two steps, hooked up with the shoulder of the person at the table in front of him with one hand, and said, "After reading the scriptures in the morning, it can be regarded as over!" Brother Sheng, there is no class in the afternoon, why don't I take you out for a walk? ”
"No need." The man said lightly, turned his head and saw Qiong Yi sitting at the back table.
Qiong also looked at those dark eyes, and recognized him at a glance as the extraordinary-looking Sheng disciple yesterday, Sheng Xuan.
His gaze only touched for a moment, and he glanced away, and it seemed to Qiong Yi that someone had rolled his eyes firmly.
"Huh?" Qiong Yixin said, "Why are you looking at me? She frowned unconsciously, and thought to herself: Maybe I think I was late for the first day of class, not some kind of peacemaker?
Whatever.
Joan Yi thought as she got up and left.
Su Ye looked at Qiong Yi's back as he left, stretched his waist, and asked Sheng Xuan, "This person belongs to the Lu family?" Do you know? ”
"I don't know." Sheng Xuan's tone was very calm: "Let's go." ”
*
Qiong also left the classroom and went directly to the dormitory, she still had a few pieces of luggage in the same room as Lu Yanshan, and she had to take them.
When she arrived outside the house, she found that the door was locked, and she didn't see anyone in the house through the window, Qiong was no longer surprised, she thought it was a stumbling block deliberately set up by Lu Yanshan, but after asking the female disciples who lived nearby, she knew that Lu Yanshan would not come back until the evening after school.
"A sword is such an important thing, I knew it and carried it with me." Joan also puffed out her cheeks and thought to herself.
She didn't want to sit at the door and wait, so she wandered around the academy, and also roughly sorted out the location of the house here, and when Ritan returned to the accommodation, Lu Yanshan still did not come back. Qiong was bored and went back and forth many times, and finally when Lu Yanshan came back, she had already entered the room, but she still locked the door.
Not only that, but there was also luggage that was scattered at the door of the room, which belonged to Qiong Yi.
It is estimated that someone told Lu Yanshan that Qiong was also waiting for her and kindly threw it out.
Among the scattered luggage on the ground, there were her newly added thick shirts, her old collection of ancient books and histories, and the clean clothes that Zhu Yunluo had worked hard to sew and wash for her, which were originally very neat and strong, but now they were littered on the dusty ground like rags.
Seeing that Zhu Yunluo's carefully prepared luggage for herself was ruined like this, Qiong Yi's anger rose sharply, and her heart was on fire, she directly kicked the door and shouted: "Lu Yanshan, you come out for me!" ”
The movement was amazing, and many onlookers gradually gathered around, and they didn't know what was going on here. Qiong also saw that there were more and more people, and there was a faint feeling that the situation was about to get out of control, only to hear Lu Yanshan's voice from inside the house: "Lu Xiyan, aren't you very capable?" I've all gone out to find a place to live, why are you coming back?! ”
Qiong Yi picked up the saber on the ground and was about to draw it, when Lu Li came out of nowhere and stood in front of her and stopped her: "Senior sister! Don't be impulsive! ”
Qiong was also aggrieved and resentful, and said angrily: "Lu Li, you have also seen it, it was she who insulted me first!"
Lu Li pinched his sweat, if he hadn't happened to pass by, the two might have really fought, he shouted to the house: "Miss, don't make trouble!" Didn't my sister tell you not to play tricks before leaving? ”
"Humph! You don't take my aunt and press me! Lu Yanshan said in the house, "Anyway, I don't think it's a big deal!" ”
Seeing that Lu Yanshan didn't want to restrain herself at all, Lu Li could only persuade Qiong Yi: "Senior sister... Don't be angry...... I ......"
Joan also laughed angrily and interrupted him: "Okay! ......" Then he took his sword, picked up the luggage on the ground indiscriminately, and walked quickly to the crowd of onlookers, and the young children gathered in front of the door gave in to each other, whispering something.
Lu Li wanted to hold Qiong Yi: "Senior sister!"
Joan also walked faster, walked straight out of the dormitory, and scolded angrily: "You don't care about me!"
Outside, it was getting dark.
*
Joan was also full of anger, and ran out of the dormitory in a fit of rage, across the school, and across the school yard behind the school, until she ran into a small forest on the side of the mountain before she stopped out of breath.
At this time, it was already dark, and the woods were gloomy, which made her shiver, but at this time she was still angry and couldn't help herself, and after kicking the tree a few times, she dropped her saber and said to herself indignantly:
"Just make a fuss at home! came out and was still so domineering! ”
She squatted down and spread the package in her arms on the ground, and began to sort out her clothes and luggage one by one, and the grievances in her heart surged up with the retreat of anger.
Obviously, Lu Yanshan didn't let me enter the house to get things yesterday, but I'm embarrassed to make this a fuss today!
The dormitory was allocated to me by the school, why did she throw my things and drive me away?!
Joan also bit her lower lip, moving faster and faster.
After a period of silence in the woods, the sparse sound of insects sounded out of nowhere, and then one or two piercing birdsongs, as if someone was walking in the forest, Qiong also stiffened, only to feel a chill spread from behind, she quickly looked back, there was no one in the forest at all, just the full trees surrounding her.
Qiong also trembled unconsciously, and said secretly: How can there be anyone, it must be that I feel wrong.
She re-wrapped the cloth bag and tied it a few times, when there was a rustling sound behind her, like the footsteps of a person walking on a fallen leaf.
Joan looked back again, and the forest seemed empty, with nothing.
What is good is that at this moment, Qiong Yi suddenly remembered what Lu Li said to her yesterday.
There is something strange about the neighborhood of this school's house......
Qiong also slapped her face twice, and quickly changed her mind: At this time, why did you think of this! It's not to scare yourself and add to the blockage!
But the more times like this, the more weird and terrifying things come to mind.
The night was getting thicker, and although it was not enough to reach out and lose sight of the five fingers, the road was already difficult to discern. Joan also lifted the package, clutched the saber tightly in her hand, and after looking for a long time to make sure that there was nothing in the dark forest around her, she walked in the direction she had come, walking lightly and slowly, turning back three times in one step.
Her courage is not small, but she is extremely afraid of ghosts.
The "click" sound made by stepping on the dead leaves under his feet was particularly harsh in the forest, mixed with the soft sound of "rustling-", Qiong Yi's hair stood on end, and he stopped and looked around, making sure that there was really no one behind him, and then he shivered and continued walking.
She walked forward vigorously, never stopped, and walked for almost a stick of incense, but the forest in front of her had always been like this, unchanged, as if there was no end.
"No......" Joan was also flustered and stood in place, "No...... Even if I go in the opposite direction, it's time to get out now......" The more she thought about it, the more scared she became: "It can't be a ghost hitting the wall...... There won't really be a ...... here."
The forest was surprisingly quiet at the moment, and even the faint chirping of insects could not be heard.
A strange feeling suddenly surged into Qiong Yi's heart, the wind behind her, she couldn't help but sweat and hair stand on end, the grass and trees were all soldiers, whether it was near or far away tree shadows, the more she looked at it, the more it looked like a ghost, faintly flickering, and a sharp birdsong suddenly sounded in the air, so frightened that she squatted on the ground and screamed almost liver and gall:
"Ah————h
Joan also squatted on the ground with no strength, and heard the sound of the wind bringing a woman's cry, "Woo...... Woo ......" a hoarse wail, sharp and miserable voice, came from the dark woods, and seemed to surround her as if around her with the sound of the wind. Joan was also so frightened that her hands and feet were cold, and she couldn't use any strength, cold sweat flowed down her forehead one by one, and her mind was blank.
The woman's terrible cry became more and more poignant, like a knife slashing in her ear, and the sound of the wind mixed with the howl of ghosts, like that night many years ago.
What to do?
What to do......
Fear occupied all of Qiongyi's consciousness, and she didn't dare to make a sound, nor did she dare to make the slightest movement.
Maybe it was a little longer, maybe it was just a moment, and there was a footstep behind her, "Sha-Sha-" She turned back creepyly, only to see a night patrol light softly lit, reflecting the young man's face:
"What's wrong with you?"
