Chapter 24 Pupa (12)

June 18 at 16:50 pm Dad sent Shang Xiaodie to the bus station.He was also a handsome guy when he was young, but now he is prematurely aging.Although Xiaodie deeply loves her mother whom she has never met, life is given by her parents together.It was the tall and hard-working man beside him who took on the responsibility of being a mother and raised her.Daddy was great too, but she hadn't thought of that before.She hated her father for not being able to bring her a complete family, but also hated the woman her father might marry again.Her father sacrificed everything for her... Xiaodie felt for the first time that her daughter also owed her father.

When the bus came, the father handed the schoolbag to the daughter.Before getting into the car, Xiaodie whispered in his ear: "I love you, Dad." Then she ran onto the bus.Looking back at the station, the car has already started, and the figure of my father gradually fades away, standing in place like a sculpture.It's a pity that she couldn't see her father's tears. Sitting alone in the last row of the car, she also felt like crying.These days, my body is as sad as my heart. In addition to the pain in my joints and bones, I always have a dull pain in my chest.I don't know what the classmates will think of her now when she returns to school?Will anyone not recognize it?

Xiaodie simply took out the MP3, put on the earphones and listened quietly.Jay Chou's unique voice came from his ears—— Prosperity is like three thousand rivers flowing east / I only take a spoonful of love to understand / I only love you incarnated as a butterfly / Your hair is as beautiful as snow and you parted / Who was touched by my incense / Invite the bright moon to make memories bright / Love is perfect under the moonlight... ... It turned out to be "Hair Like Snow". I have always liked Fang Wenshan's lyrics, especially the paragraph just now.Xiaodie couldn't help humming "I only love your incarnation butterfly".

Listen to this song repeatedly until the bus stops at the S gate. Xiaodie jumped out of the car with her schoolbag on her back, just in time to see that person again.She paused slightly, and let all the hesitation go to hell: "Hey, Zhuang Qiushui!" Zhuang Weishui turned his head and widened his eyes: "Why did you change again?" "Have I changed?" She took off the earphones and touched her face. The change in hairstyle really made people look brand new, but she shook her head, "I haven't changed!" "Since I went to 'Butterfly Cemetery', I see you differently every day."

He stared at her charming eyes without lenses, and at her tall and curvaceous figure, and at the same time, his mother's warning sounded in his ears-"Very, very evil, and very unclean! Don't get close to her, never get close to her! He had quarreled with his mother because of these words, but seeing Shang Xiaodie now, and recalling "Butterfly Cemetery", it was like an animal fell into a trap and was at a loss. He could only change the subject: "Oh, I have something to tell you. In the morning, I checked the IP address of the 'Butterfly Cemetery' website. Its server is hung under a large website, and the applicant for the address is Baishuang."

"It's really her?" In fact, she was already mentally prepared, but didn't Bai Shuang died long ago?No - in the early morning of the previous few days, Bai Shuang still appeared in front of her. "The 'Butterfly Cemetery' website was created in April 2005." "It was one month before Bai Shuang's accident! Maybe she had been there in April last year. But why did she go to that place again a month later and stopped Meng Bingyu's car in the middle of the night?" "I also feel very strange. Where did so much content on the website come from? Maybe Bai Shuang also went to the archives and found a lot of precious materials. But someone should maintain it for more than a year? Is her ghost still on the Internet in the server?"

"Are you scared?" Zhuang Qiushui's mother's warning sounded again from the bottom of his heart, and the story from twenty years ago - the little freak covered in blood and spots was standing in front of him gracefully. "Yes, I'm scared, very scared, scared of 'Butterfly Cemetery', and scared of you, Shang Xiaodie!" The last sentence caught Xiaodie by surprise, she shook her feet slightly and said, "I'm sorry." However, Zhuang Qiushui mustered up the courage to look her in the eyes and said, "You know, you have really become beautiful!"

Xiaodie didn't dare to listen to this sentence, she turned and ran away like a rabbit.But her heart still crawls slowly like a tortoise, looking back at the road she has traveled and the people passing by from time to time. June 18 at 20:10 p.m. Shang Xiaodie came to the school theater. Ten minutes ago, she received a call from Sun Zichu in the dormitory, telling her that she must come to the rehearsal.This is the last rehearsal, and tomorrow night we will face the whole school performance.Dozens of students sat under the stage, and all stage lighting was the same as the performance.

As soon as she came in, Sun Zichu saw her. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the beautiful student, and asked suspiciously, "Hey, classmate, are you sure you didn't go wrong?" She shook her head shyly: "I did not go wrong, my name is Shang Xiaodie." "You are Shang Xiaodie?" He remembered that she was not so tall before, and she still wore a pair of thick glasses, with the most old-fashioned fool head, and some freckles and acne on her face... God, it seems to be a different person!Sun Tzuchu sighed: "Hey, it's such a waste to ask you to play tricks!"

Xiao Die walked into the backstage awkwardly, put on a costume and became a little fairy in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. She may have danced for the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, or served Tao Yuanming who did not bow down for five buckets of rice, which gave him the inspiration for Peach Blossom Spring. Suddenly another woman in ancient costume walked by behind her, Xiaodie turned her head in panic and saw Lu Shuangshuang's eyes. "Why are you here again?" Shuangshuang asked coldly, "Yes, tonight's hero is Zhuang Qiushui." "Please don't get me wrong, there is nothing between me and Qiushui. If you are unhappy, please forgive me, please? Shuangshuang, no matter what you think or how you treat me, I will always regard you as my best friend. "

"Best friend? I'm ashamed to say it. To be honest, in the past, you were not good-looking at all, and no one would like you. I took you as a good friend because I felt sorry for you. But now you have become another person , I must admit, you are already much prettier than me!" Xiaodie lowered her head and hugged her face, her eyes and nose were blocked with tears: "I'm sorry." "It's hypocrisy!" Lu Shuangshuang didn't forgive her, but yelled at her again, and walked out of the locker room angrily. It turns out that beauty does not necessarily bring happiness, but sometimes tears. "Shang Xiaodie! What are you still dawdling in?" Sun Tzuchu roared outside.When it was her turn to play, Xiaodie rushed onto the stage before she could wipe away her tears.Standing in front of him was "Liang Shanbo" - Zhuang Qiushui in a green scholar's suit.But she didn't dare to look into Zhuang Qiushui's eyes, so she could only turn her head to look at the audience and complete what she was supposed to do. The boys in the seats were agitated, asking each other where the beautiful girl came from, but it turned out to be just a trick.Manli and her boyfriend also came, and the boy stared at Xiaodie on the stage: "It's so beautiful!" Manli immediately squeezed his thigh hard. In the first act, the hero and heroine enter the stage.Tian Qiaoer's performance is completely out of order, always looking at Shang Xiaodie out of the corner of her eye.Sun Tzuchu interrupted them from time to time, and pulled Tian Qiaoer aside several times to talk about it. The script of the second act was revised, and Xiao Die, who was an outsider, walked around a few times casually, but she did not expect to win applause from the audience. The third act "Eighteen send off".In the end, when "Zhu Yingtai" said "I have a little sister Jiumei", he forgot all the lines, and could only say nonsense in a Korean drama style, which made the audience ridicule.Sun Zichu had endured for a long time, and finally interrupted Tian Qiaoer's "performance" with a loud shout, and the whole theater fell silent. "Go backstage and change your clothes." "What are you doing?" Sun Tzuchu said calmly: "From today on, you are no longer Zhu Yingtai, you can only be an audience." "No——" Tian Qiaoer realized that the director actually wanted to replace her, and she begged loudly, "I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood today, which affected my performance. But I promise to perform well, tomorrow I will definitely play well." "There's no tomorrow! I've been dissatisfied with you since day one, your acting is so fake and contrived, I've given you many chances, and I hope you can play this role well - but I was wrong, you Not born for acting." "No, Teacher Sun, please!" Sun Tzuchu also hesitated, should he say these serious words?But it's best to let her stop thinking about acting, so as not to mislead her children in the future: "Okay, go back to the dormitory, don't expect to be on the stage anymore." Tian Qiaoer looked at Zhuang Qiushui and Monk Xiaodie with a pale face, and then stared at the guys who were watching jokes in the audience.This is the most embarrassing moment for "School Belle". The shame is carved on the face like a knife, and it pierces deeply into the heart.Just as she turned around and walked backstage, she heard Sun Zichu say loudly: "Shang Xiaodie, now you will replace her as Zhu Yingtai!" Tian Qiaoer turned her head angrily, and Xiaodie avoided her gaze in embarrassment.Shang Xiaodie was completely dumbfounded, she didn't expect "Zhu Yingtai" to fall on her head.As if facing a dreadful task, she shook her head and said, "I can't act." "No one is a born actor, and I don't need a professional performance. I just need to express the role with my heart. Your temperament is very good. In ancient times, you were a natural Zhu Yingtai." Sun Tzuchu approached her with an unusually strong tone of affirmation Encouraged him: "Shang Xiaodie, you can perform well, I believe in you! Go backstage and change your clothes." She couldn't resist Sun Zichu, so she could only accept instructions and walk backstage like a robot.Both Zhuang Qiushui and Lu Shuangshuang watched the dramatic changes on stage in amazement—this is the real drama. Shang Xiaodie came to the locker room just in time to meet Tian Qiaoer rushing out.She bowed her head and stepped aside, Tian Qiaoer said fiercely: "Congratulations, you are now Zhu Yingtai!" "Neither did I think, I—" "Don't talk about it! Everything is planned by you. The last time you came to the rehearsal, you had ulterior motives. This time, the incense burner drove the monk away. You are amazing!" Tian Qiaoer rushed out of the backstage, turned her head and said fiercely, " I'll report it, just wait and see!" The next scene is "The Loutai Meeting", Zhu Yingtai is about to resume her daughter's costume.Xiao Die looked at this "Zhu Yingtai" dress, hesitated to put it on, she didn't dare to look at "Zhu Yingtai" in the mirror, so she quickly ran back to the stage. There was a commotion under the stands, and a few bold boys whistled - the woman in the ancient costume in front of me was so beautiful, her eyes, her face, her figure, and the beautiful dress of the ancient lady, the pink was playful and alive Tuo is a Zhu Yingtai rebirth! In this scene, Liang Shanbo secretly came to Zhu Yingtai, and they met secretly on the building.Sun Zichu first asked Shang Xiaodie to recite a few lines, and then asked someone to prepare a reminder board here.Zhuang Qiushui came in front of Xiaodie, since she met her for two weeks, she has changed almost every day, from an inconspicuous Cinderella to a beautiful princess that everyone is eye-catching, and now she has become a girl from more than a thousand years ago. Zhu Yingtai.Is the person in front of her really Shang Xiaodie?She is Zhu Yingtai?Or is it a spirit possession?Now that Yingtai is close at hand, he should also become Shanbo. Shang Xiaodie memorized her lines backwards, as if there was some kind of power in this costume, which made her no longer herself in an instant, maybe she had become the self in her previous life.And her body language and expressions seem to be not performances, but her own heartfelt confession. She was confiding to Liang Shanbo, and she was also confiding to Zhuang Qiushui. There was a round of applause from the audience, and it took Sun Zichu a long time to recall it, trying to suppress his excitement—this feeling he had been looking for for many years, and it finally came true at this moment. Act V: "Marriage Change".The stage is divided into two parts, showing Zhu Yingtai's marriage and Liang Shanbo's death at the same time. "Ma Wencai" came on stage again, and "Yin Xin" also came up to serve the lady.Even though Shuangshuang was extremely unhappy, she could only grit her teeth and persist. The sixth act is the finale "Butterfly Transformation", which is also the most familiar passage to everyone.Zhu Yingtai passed by Ran Shanbo's tomb when she was married. The tomb suddenly opened. She jumped into the tomb, and a pair of butterflies flew out of the tomb. Xiao Die became the most dazzling star on the stage, everyone was overwhelmed by her, and the audience applauded.Sun Zichu also regained his self-confidence, forgot his identity as a teacher, and gave each actor a high-five, wishing the success of tomorrow night's performance. After changing clothes in the backstage, Zhuang Qiushui was waiting for Xiaodie beside the stage, but saw Sun Zichu coming out of the slanted stab. Sun Tzu stopped in front of her and said, "You did a great job! Thank you." "Oh, I don't know either." Xiaodie lowered her head shyly and answered as if being criticized, "It seems that I am not acting." "This shows that you have the temperament of a star. You must perform well tomorrow night, and you will succeed." Just as she turned to leave, Sun Zichu said again, "I have graded your exam paper." Xiaodie suddenly became nervous: "I... I didn't fail the exam, did I?" "How could it be? You did very well in the exam, the highest score in the class is 92!" She couldn't believe her ears. She didn't review at all before the exam, and she answered the questions purely based on her feelings. The multiple-choice questions were almost guesswork. She would be thankful if she could score 60 points. Sun Tzuchu continued: "There is a question about "Zhuang Zhou's Dream of a Butterfly" in the essay question, and you answered it quite well!" " Only then did she remember, it seemed that "The Secret Book of Butterflies" and "Ghost Beauty" were also written—oh, how could this be written on the test paper?It's no wonder that such crooked things are not deducted points.She could only explain: "I came across a paper in the library by chance, it was about the research on "The Secret Spectrum of Butterflies", and the author was Bai Shuang." Zhuang Qiushui, who was hiding behind, had quietly left the theater. "Bai Shuang? That master's student studying Chinese? The smart and weird girl I taught her three years ago, but unfortunately died in a car accident last year." Xiaodie didn't dare to say "I know", so she could only nod her head submissively. "You said that Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly dreamed of a "ghost beauty?" "Sun Tzuchu laughed strangely, "It's the first time I've heard this statement, it's really imaginative!"I admire you very much, hehe! " "This is not imagination!" She didn't know which nerve was wrong, as if she was fighting back against Sun Tzuchu. "Then what basis do you have? Is it "ghost beauty platform?"have you seen it " "I've seen it before—" Xiaodie's mind suddenly went blank, and she said stupidly, "Butterfly Cemetery!" Sun Tzuchu was overwhelmed by the "Butterfly Cemetery", and stood blankly with an extremely complicated expression. At this time she came to her senses and shook her head regretfully: "No, I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything..." Shang Xiaodie quickly ran out.Sun Tzuchu watched her disappear, still silently believing in those four words in his heart - "Butterfly Cemetery!" June 18 at 21:50 p.m. Shang Xiaodie ran back to the dormitory. The three roommates were all in the room, but all had strange expressions.Tian Qiaoer sat on the bunk with a sneer, the school girl from yesterday seemed to be a witch tonight.The trace of the red medicine on Song You's forehead was still there. She crossed her legs leisurely and pretended to pick up an English book.Only Manli's expression was tense, and she was a little scared when she saw Xiaodie coming in, and retreated to a corner of the bed. When Xiaodie walked past Song You, a cool wind blew by her ears, like a knife cutting her flesh.She found that the upper bunk was a bit messy, and immediately climbed up to check it carefully.She took out the flute she had brought back, and her golden bell. His gaze was fixed on the plastic box, and Jin Lingzi had turned into a ball of meat sauce. This poor little bug has just returned to the west, and the mucus in his body is splashing everywhere, obviously he was shot to death alive! A burst of anger and sadness rushed straight to the top of her head, and then spread throughout the room. "Who did it?" she asked softly, not as if she were questioning the suspect but mourning the victim. Tian Qiaoer, who was on the opposite bunk, was looking at her provocatively.Yes, she just said that she would take revenge on Xiaodie. Song You also stared at her coldly and sneered at the same time.Song You has always hated Jinlingzi, thinking that the bug disturbed her sleep in the morning, and often quarreled with Xiaodie because of it. Now, their wishes are all fulfilled, and they really took revenge on Shang Xiaodie. Tears fell and fell on Jin Lingzi's broken body, and some thin stumps floated up. This little bug accompanies her day and night, and often carries it around in her bag. It is the life closest to Shang Xiaodie—or, it is a part of Shang Xiaodie's life. While shedding tears, she glanced at her roommates and said quietly: "You will all be punished!" The three roommates looked at each other and could only pretend that nothing happened. Shang Xiaodie shook her head and rushed out of the bedroom.But she quickly turned back, picked up the flute on the bed, and the dead golden bell and left again. In the girls' dormitory at night, the silence shrouded the three girls like a ghost. After Xiaodie left for a few minutes, Manli was the first to speak: "She is really angry." "Hmph, I've been angry too!" Song You pretended to be indifferent, "This little bug makes me sleep hard every morning, and I wanted to kill it a long time ago. Now I can finally be quiet , how nice it is." Manli was still worried: "But it's a little life after all, and Xiaodie likes it so much. Are we going too far?" "Shang Xiaodie deserves it!" It was Tian Qiaoer who spoke, "Who made her too arrogant. She deserves it!" After she finished speaking, she climbed out of the bunk and hurried to the toilet. There were only a few faint lights on in the corridor, Tian Qiaoer fumbled into the toilet, her head swelled for a while.She has just experienced the most unlucky night in her life, and she will become the laughing stock of the whole class tomorrow.What's even more frightening is that the "school beauty" will probably be taken away by Shang Xiaodie, right?Everything is Shang Xiaodie's fault!God knows how she got beautiful.Was it cosmetic surgery or something else?Is it really related to the "Butterfly Cemetery"? After going to the toilet while thinking wildly, suddenly my calf itch.Tian Qiaoer scratched, and the strange feeling spread to her thigh.No, something is crawling.She was so frightened that she trembled all over, but she didn't dare to shout out in the toilet.There is still something crawling on the hand, and with the help of the faint light in the corridor, I can see that it is a small cockroach!She hurriedly threw the cockroach on the ground, but there were still many six-legged little guys hugging the beauty's thigh happily.Suddenly, several big cockroaches flew on her head.As a result, the screams shocked the entire dormitory building. Song You and Man Li also heard the cry, but they dared not go out, fearing that there was something hidden in the dark corridor.The desolate cry was getting closer and closer, breaking through the door of the dormitory, and they all jumped on the bed in fright.Tian Qiaoer rushed in, desperately beating the cockroaches on her body.Man Li and Song You helped out and drove away these little guys in a hurry. When they gasped in shock, Manli said softly, "Is this the retribution Shang Xiaodie said?"
