Chapter 4 Chapter Four

A plate of stir-fried beef with green peppers, a bowl of pork rib soup and a bowl of white rice were placed on the table.Shi Ping looked at the food Xiuxiu sent, without any appetite.The sky outside the window was pitch black, and the autumn rain had not yet fallen, but the weather was getting colder and colder, and the wind was beating against the window lattice, making weird noises.On this dark and stormy night, what unexpected things will happen in Fraxinus Mandshurica Village?Shiping didn't dare to think about it.Shiping thought of what Hao Qiong told her in the evening, and she became even more suspicious of Wang Gang in her heart.

Hao Qiong introduced Shiping into her dormitory, and she lived next to Wang Gang.Some of the teachers in Mandshurica Middle School are from the city.They all live in the teacher's dormitory, and the local teachers usually go home to live.It happened to be Friday, and many teachers went back to the city, but Hao Qiong didn't go back. She usually went back on Saturday morning. Shiping didn't know if Wang Gang had gone back, she didn't ask Hao Qiong. After Hao Qiong led Shiping into the room, she was about to make tea for Shiping. Shi Ping stopped her, Shi Ping said, don't worry about it, I drank too much water in the afternoon, and now I don't want to drink anything.

The two of them sat facing each other. There was no smile on Shiping's face, nor on Hao Qiong's face. It is impossible for them to feel like Li Xiaofang after the death of two students. Hao Qiong said, Reporter Shi, did you come here to learn the truth about Xiao Lili's death? Shiping nodded. Yes, another Gu Qiusheng died now. Similarly, I also want to know the truth about his death. Hao Qiong was silent for a while, and then opened his mouth to talk about something that Shi Ping had never understood. I didn't expect Xiao Lili to die, let alone Gu Qiusheng.How difficult it is to die, much more difficult than to live, they are still children, how could they think of dying?There must be something wrong here, but I don't know what the problem is.

Now, it is said that Xiao Lili's death was a suicide, but so far no one has given a reasonable explanation why she committed suicide, which makes me very depressed.Xiao Lili was a student in our class. She died, just like Gu Qiusheng's death, which made me sad. Gu Qiusheng also died, whether his death would also be called a suicide, this question is already very obvious, that is to say, the results of the investigation will still define him as a suicide.Why did he commit suicide, this question seems to have a good answer, that is because he loves Xiao Lili.Xiao Lili's death made him unable to bear it, so he chose to commit suicide.But I think things are not that simple.

Let me tell you the truth, Reporter Shi, I am dissatisfied with Principal Zhu’s way of turning big things into small things. A considerable number of teachers here are dissatisfied with this, but what is the use of our dissatisfaction!Our dissatisfaction has little effect on them. They are powerful, a complex and powerful circle.When we are teachers, our personalities are worn out without edges and corners. Alas, thinking about it, two classmates died so inexplicably, I feel sad.We really hope that you can learn the truth and expose the matter, so that there will be an explanation for the dead, and an explanation for their parents.In fact, Gu Qiusheng came to see me the day after Xiao Lili died.I also have opinions on Gu Qiusheng. This kid is withdrawn and out of gregariousness. He used to be good at studies, but since I heard that he wrote a courtship letter to Xiao Lili, his academic performance has dropped.I talked to him, and he also said that he must study hard, otherwise he would have no way out in the Fraxinus Mandshurica village.He understands the truth, but it is so difficult to do it.That night, I was grading my homework when Gu Qiusheng came.His face was ugly and his eyes were red and swollen.He said he was going to report the situation to me, and I sat him down and said.As soon as he sat down, he seemed agitated, his chest heaved, and he spoke out of breath.

He said that he was very sad that Xiao Lili died. He said that Xiao Lili didn't deserve to die. It was the Chinese teacher Wang Gang who deserved to die. It was the Chinese teacher Wang Gang who colluded with Li Xiaofang to kill Xiao Lili. When he said that, I was very surprised.How is this possible? Even though I don't have a good impression of Wang Gang, it's impossible for him to kill Xiao Lili! I told Gu Qiusheng, don't talk nonsense, and speak responsibly! His face turned red, and the birthmark became even uglier. Gu Qiusheng's eyes showed a cold and hateful light. He firmly insisted that Xiao Lili's death had something to do with Wang Gang. He said he saw Wang Gang with his own eyes. Regarding Xiao Lili's attempt to commit crimes, he also said that Wang Gang's window glass was smashed by him.

I was surprised, I didn't know what to say to this stubborn child.I asked him if he told anyone else about it, and he said no, he didn't trust anyone else.I know that later, he didn't even believe me, because after he told me about it, I didn't react.In those few days, during class, he always stared at me with hatred. He must have thought that I was the same as them.Regardless of whether what Gu Qiusheng said was true or not, I always felt guilty towards him. Perhaps his death was a silent anger and demonstration. I really don't like Wang Gang.He and I both lived in the county town. At first, we had a good relationship. Sometimes we would come to Franz Liu Township together and go back to the county town together. But one night, Wang Gang knocked on my door.That day was also Friday, and the other teachers went back to the city as soon as school was over, leaving me and Wang Gang here.It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening, and I thought Wang Gang had also gone back to the city.

As soon as I opened the door, a strong alcohol smell hit my face, and I felt sick for a while. I usually hate drunk men, but Wang Gang is my colleague, so I didn't close the door immediately to refuse him. I asked him, Mr. Wang, you didn't go back, where did you drink so much wine? He leaned crookedly on the door frame, and said drunkenly, I, I'm going back, what are you going back for!I drank wine at Deputy Township Chief Li's house. I said again, you drank too much, it's too late now, you better go back. I endured the smell of wine from his mouth, and I really hoped that he would disappear in front of me immediately.

Who knows, he has no intention of leaving at all. He stammered and said to me, Mr. Hao, can you, can, let, let me in?I have a lot to tell you. I could have closed the door and refused him to enter, but when I hesitated about how to answer his question, he entered my room, and I couldn't stop him.As soon as he entered my room, he sat on the edge of my bed. I felt very uncomfortable, but out of face, I didn't drive him away, so I let him sit there and poured him a cup of tea.He took a sip of tea, shook his hand, and the cup fell from his hand to the ground, and the tea spilled all over the floor. The cup rolled a few times on the ground, but it didn't break.

He said, yes, sorry. I picked up the cup and said, it's okay, I think you'd better go back to sleep. He said, no, don't sleep, I have, I have a lot to say to you. I was very helpless, so I had to listen to him.He talked for a long time, and I understood that he was broken in love.I knew that his target was a tour guide of the county tourism company, and he was very pretty.He said that his girlfriend hooked up with a boss who was traveling in Shenzhen when he was a tour guide, and then left Xixian County for Shenzhen without saying hello to him. As he spoke, he began to cry. He cried loudly, and then he began to howl.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, I took a towel to let him wipe his tears, and comforted him.I didn't expect him to cry and cry, hugged me, and forced me to the bed. He licked my face with his mouth, and said while licking, Teacher Hao, still, you are still good, I Want, think, want, want you! I was so pissed off, I felt a fire burning in my chest, I pushed him off the bed with all my strength.He slumped to the ground like a puddle of mud, he didn't get up again, he drank too much.I didn't expect him to utter so many obscenities, saying that he wanted to sleep with me a long time ago, and so on.Speaking the truth after drinking, I was so ashamed by his words, I tried my best to drag him out of my room, and then closed the door forcefully.I leaned against the door in tears, I had a feeling of being abused, even though I didn't have a good relationship with my husband, there was no way I would do something like that with him, I'm not a bitch. Since then, I have kept my distance from Wang Gang.He may have discovered that I have an opinion on him, and tried to approach me several times, but I refused.Except for work, I don't want to get too close to him.Even after what happened that night, I didn't really hate him.What really disgusted me about him was that he spread rumors among his colleagues that I wanted to seduce him, but he refused.For this, I scolded him once. Wang Gang likes to let some female students come to his room, under the pretense that he is helping those female students with composition tutoring, but who knows what the real purpose is.Without any evidence, I can't say anything about him.After Gu Qiusheng told me about that incident, I didn't make it public, but I thought about it, and I was more willing to believe Gu Qiusheng's words.But I dare not tell anyone, for fear of retaliation.My heart hurts, I really feel sorry for Gu Qiusheng, if I dare to speak out, maybe Gu Qiusheng will not die.I hate my cowardice and incompetence! Shi Ping recollected Hao Qiong's words, and she felt that Gu Qiusheng's words to her were somewhat credible.Wang Gang solved the mystery of Xiao Lili and Gu Qiusheng's death, and he suddenly became so mysterious and terrifying in Shiping's heart.She felt that there was a potential danger in her interview in Franz Liu Township. Now the relationship between people has become more and more complicated and terrifying. Who caused all this?Shi Ping didn't want to eat, but her stomach didn't listen to her brain's command, and she made an empty plan. She instinctively picked up the bowl of rice, put a piece of green pepper in the bowl, and took a few mouthfuls indiscriminately.As she chewed her rice, she heard her phone ring.The ringtone of her mobile phone is the music "Love in BC". This music was chosen for her by her husband Shi Future. At that time, her relationship with Shi Future was still good. She always wanted to change the ringtone of her mobile phone, but she never did.She took the mobile phone and glanced at the color screen of the mobile phone. It showed Shi Weiwei's call on it. She wanted to refuse to answer it, but after thinking for a while, she still connected Shi Weiwei's call. Shi Weiwei looked very anxious on the other end of the phone, and he kept asking where Shiping was. Shi Ping said, it doesn't make any sense for you to ask these questions. Shi Weilai's almost begging voice, Shi Ping, I must know where you are, it's not fair to me that you leave like this. Shiping sneered and said, I think it's fair, you have another woman outside, and I can have another man, let me tell you, I'm in a place where you can't find me, and I'm in bed with a pretty boy, you You can put the phone down now! After listening to her words, Shi Future panted heavily. Shi Ping could imagine his distraught look on the other end of the phone, she was very contemptuous of a man like him who had a woman outside but wouldn't let his wife cheat.Shi Ping hung up the phone and turned off the phone before Shi Weilai could say anything else.Shiping sneered, she thought it would be okay to take revenge on Shi Future like this.But she couldn't bear it deep in her heart. If she misunderstood Shi Future, wouldn't Shi Future be very innocent? After making the phone call, she was no longer hungry, which made her a little strange. There are indeed too many strange things in this world.Just like now, she felt dull in the room, Shiping stood up in a strange way, and came to the window, the autumn wind outside the window was whimpering, as if there were many ghosts running around. She stretched out her hand to open the window, a gust of cold wind came in, Shi Ping couldn't help shivering, suddenly, a small group of dark things flew in quickly from the window.The black thing flew past Shi Ping's hair, and she felt the speed and power of the thing flying.Shiping turned around quickly, trying to catch the black shadow with her eyes.The black shadow slammed into the wall of the room violently, and then fell to the ground. Shi Ping approached and took a look. It turned out to be a sparrow. The sparrow flopped on the ground a few times before dying.There was fear in Shi Ping's eyes. What do these dead birds that keep appearing in front of her mean?Is it a sign of danger? She didn't have time to think about anything more, the door of the room opened suddenly, and she called out, who? ! Before she finished speaking, Xiuxiu walked in numbly.Her face was gloomy today, and she seemed to be less enthusiastic about Shi Ping. Xiuxiu glanced at the food on the table with her gloomy eyes, those food were as cold as her eyes. Xiuxiu said to Shiping lightly, you haven't eaten, you are not a god, if you don't eat, you will starve to death. Shi Ping didn't know how to talk to her. Xiuxiu came in without knocking tonight, which had already startled her, and Xiuxiu said such indifferent words again, she was a little at a loss. Xiuxiu's eyes scanned the room, she seemed to see the dead bird that was slowly stiffening on the ground, but she didn't seem to see it.She walked to the window, stretched out her head, looked at the dark world outside the window, then retracted her head, and closed the window, she said, it is best not to open the window at night! At this time, Shi Ping's tension eased, and she asked, why? Xiuxiu's voice is still so gloomy and cold, there are a lot of unclean things now, aren't you afraid of those unclean things coming in? Shi Ping knew the meaning of her words, but she didn't know how to answer the girl.Xiuxiu scanned the room again, walked up to the dead bird, bent down, picked up the dead bird, and left Shiping's room with a desolate expression. Before she left, she wanted to say something to Shiping, But nothing came out.Shi Ping felt that Xiuxiu was very abnormal. She wanted to ask Xiuxiu some questions, but she couldn't open her mouth.Xiuxiu closed the door when she went out, but Shi Ping didn't hear footsteps, only the whimpering of the wind outside the window.Shiping sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. The night in Fraxinus Mandshurica village was lonely and mysterious. She didn't know where she was, and she didn't know anything about what would happen that night. Li Meifeng was going to bed at 11 o'clock as usual, and she had finished watching all the TV series she should watch.Her husband, Li Hongqiu, hadn't come home yet, and she knew that the school had died again, so he must have a lot of things to deal with.Li Hongqiu was very domineering at home and a patriarch. Li Meifeng had nothing to do with him. Li Meifeng was not allowed to ask what he was doing outside and when he came back.Li Meifeng never asked, she married Li Hongqiu and lived a life that was considered heaven in the eyes of the people in Shuiquliu village, so she had nothing to say.Li Hongqiu didn't come back. She closed the bedroom door, picked up the phone, and called someone. She spoke very softly, and she seemed to be afraid that others would hear her. Her daughter Li Xiaofang was in the next room, and she was still awake.Li Meifeng obviously wasn't calling her husband. She spoke in a very ambiguous manner, with rich expressions on her face, and her eyes glowed charmingly. She stroked her neck with the other hand, and then slowly She slid down to her chest and groped into her big, bulging tits in her pajamas. Her face was flushed, and she moaned softly as she spoke. Li Meifeng was in heat, when she suddenly heard a crisp laughter from outside the room.Li Meifeng hurriedly said something, and immediately put the phone back.She touched her hot cheeks, stood up, buttoned her pajamas, walked to the door, and opened it. There was nothing outside the door.She clearly heard a crisp laugh just now, she thought it was her daughter Li Xiaofang standing outside the door eavesdropping on her, but it turned out not to be.Li Meifeng was feeling weird when she heard a crisp laughter again. Li Meifeng's heart skipped a beat, the laughter came from her daughter Li Xiaofang's room. She stood at the door of Li Xiaofang's room, with her ears pressed against the door, she didn't know what Li Xiaofang was doing in the room. Then, there were two more crisp laughs. Li Meifeng carefully identified the laughter, and she was horrified to find that the laughter was not Li Xiaofang's. She was very familiar with everything about her daughter, and it was clearly not her daughter Li Xiaofang's laughter.So, who is in Li Xiaofang's room? Li Meifeng didn't go out all night. She knew her daughter was home and went into the room to do homework after dinner.No one came at night at all, besides, in the past, except for Xiao Lili who often came, none of the female classmates went to Li Xiaofang's room to spend the night with her. Li Meifeng thought she heard it wrong, and after a while, she heard a crisp laugh again, and she decided that the laughter must not have come from Li Xiaofang, she put her hand on the doorknob and pushed it, the door was locked.Li Meifeng became anxious. Since Xiao Lili died, she didn't allow Li Xiaofang to go out at night, she knew that Li Xiaofang's life was taken back, and she didn't want Li Xiaofang to have any problems.Li Xiaofang and Xiao Lili committed suicide together, causing Li Meifeng to be beaten violently by Li Hongqiu. She thought the beating was not wronged at all, and she admitted it. Who told her not to watch her daughter!Fortunately, her daughter was still normal after Xiao Lili's death, and she didn't find anything abnormal. Now, the laughter in Li Xiaofang's room aroused Li Meifeng's vigilance. Seeing that the door was locked, Li Meifeng knocked on the door. While knocking, she said, Xiaofang, open the door! There was no sound from inside.Li Meifeng did not see the light coming through the crack of the door.She suddenly became apprehensive, she knocked on the door louder, and spoke louder, Xiaofang, open the door quickly! There is still no answer inside, is Xiaofang asleep?This is impossible. No matter how deeply she slept, her knocking on the door so hard woke her up. Is there something wrong? Li Meifeng was a little out of breath.She had to open the door to find out what happened to Li Xiaofang.She also has a key to Xiaofang's room.The strange thing is that Li Meifeng couldn't remember where the key was kept.She stood outside Li Xiaofang's room door, and her brain began to search hard, where would the key be placed? When Li Meifeng was searching for the key with her brain, she heard laughter from the room again. Li Meifeng was full of coolness, she knocked on the door again, but there was still no movement inside.Li Meifeng suddenly became terrified. She immediately went back to her room and dialed her husband Li Hongqiu's phone. She heard a lot of noise on the phone, as if there were many people singing.She said loudly to Li Hongqiu, Hongqiu, where are you! Li Hongqiu also said loudly on the phone, what's the matter, tell me quickly, I am entertaining guests. Li Meifeng's crying came out, and she continued to say loudly, Hong Qiu, come back quickly, something happened at home! Li Hongqiu scolded something, and then asked anxiously, what happened? Li Meifeng said that something happened to Xiaofang again, and now she locked the door of her room, and I couldn't open it.She didn't move at all inside, and no matter how I knocked on the door, there was no response from inside. When she spoke, she omitted the laughter that came from Li Xiaofang's room. Li Hongqiu cursed again, you idiot, the key to Xiaofang's room is in the small drawer on the right side of your dressing table, you open the room quickly to see if there is any problem, I will come back right away. Li Meifeng put down the phone, quickly found the key of Li Xiaofang's room from the small drawer on the right side of the dressing table, and came to the door of Li Xiaofang's room. What about in the drawer? She was unlocking the lock, but the door suddenly opened. Li Xiaofang was standing inside the door wearing a white dress. Her hair was disheveled, and she said coldly to Li Meifeng, what the hell is your name, everyone is asleep. Li Meifeng saw that Li Xiaofang was indeed woken up by her, and when she thought of the laughter coming from Li Xiaofang's room, she felt extremely uncomfortable.The light in Li Xiaofang's room was on, and Li Meifeng looked in. There was nothing unusual in Li Xiaofang's room, and there were no other girls in it.Li Meifeng thought, maybe it was Li Xiaofang's laughter in her dream, the laughter in her dream might be different from the laughter when she was awake.Thinking of this, Li Meifeng felt relieved. Li Xiaofang slammed the door, she scolded her mother, hate it! Li Meifeng's eyelids twitched, and she suddenly remembered something. Li Xiaofang had never worn a white dress. Once, in the city, Li Meifeng took Li Xiaofang to a clothing store to buy clothes. Li Xiaofang was standing in a white dress. Standing in front of her long dress. Li Meifeng said to her, Xiaofang, buy it if you like it. Li Xiaofang said, I'm not in good shape, and I don't look good in such a skirt. Li Meifeng said with a smile, how do you know it doesn't look good if you haven't tried it, and I think you have a good figure. Li Xiaofang rolled her eyes at her mother and said, okay, you are laughing at me, I tell you that if it doesn’t look good, it doesn’t look good, I tried it at Xiao Lili’s house, and Xiao Lili also said it didn’t look good, only Xiao Lili wears such a skirt It's beautiful. Then, Li Xiaofang walked away with a sullen face.Thinking of this incident, Li Meifeng felt a little scared. Why did Li Xiaofang wear that white one-piece dress when she was sleeping? Where did that white one-piece dress come from?Ever since Xiao Lili died, Li Xiaofang hadn't seen anything unusual, but tonight was definitely different. Li Meifeng wanted to knock on Li Xiaofang's door again, but she didn't have the courage. She had to wait for her husband to come back, but she didn't know when Li Hongqiu would come back. She knew that Li Hongqiu must not be in Shuquliu Township. Bailian Town, which is more than an hour away from Manchuria Township, is a world of flowers in Xixian County. There are hot spring resorts, entertainment centers, and it is said that there are many girls there.Li Hongqiu often accompanied others to that place. Thinking of this, Li Meifeng cursed, damn Li Hongqiu, if she had known this, she would not have stayed at home, and she had her own secret life. The autumn rain did not fall for a long time, and the wind outside the window was still whimpering.Shi Ping couldn't fall asleep, and there were a few startling dog barks in the distance. Something alarmed the dogs that were silent in the night.Shiping was lying on the bed, imagining that the ghost of Wang Gang was wandering in the wilderness of Fraxinus Fraxinus village.Perhaps, he was standing under her window, ready to climb up at any time, jump in from the window and rape her. Insomnia made Shiping lonely and helpless. After she married Shi Weiwei, she thought her lonely life was over. Unexpectedly, it was a mistake. She went from one kind of loneliness to another kind of loneliness, from one kind of disappointment to another kind of loneliness. another kind of disappointment.Marriage is the tomb of love. She didn't believe it before, but now she believes it.Now she seemed to be in a cold and hopeless tomb, and the tide of darkness was mercilessly submerging her. At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside the door, and the sound of footsteps approached little by little, very rhythmic.Shiping became alert. who is it?Her heart suddenly rose to her throat again. Shiping suddenly sat up from the bed.The footsteps stopped at her door.At this time, the whimpering wind outside the window seemed to have stopped, and she could only hear the strong beating of her heart.After a while, the footsteps went away rhythmically again.Shi Ping jumped down from the bed, she saw an envelope on the ground by the door, Shi Ping walked over with trepidation, she was really afraid that someone would suddenly break in from the door, and a pair of cold hands would jam her neck. Shi Ping picked up the envelope with trembling hands, and she took out a blank piece of paper from the envelope. There was still a line of words scrawled on the white paper: Go back to your red board, Fraxinus Fraxinus Township doesn't need you ! After reading this line of scribbled words, Shiping's stubborn side was aroused, a rush of blood rushed in her body, she was very angry, no matter who wrote this line of scribbled words, it proved that Xiao Lili and There is a problem with Gu Qiusheng's death! Shi Ping tore the piece of paper into pieces, she suddenly opened the door, threw the torn paper into the empty corridor, and shouted loudly, come back to me, it's not so easy for me to leave! The pieces of paper fluttered down with her voice, Shi Ping's heart was bleeding. She stood there blankly, trying to see that person appear. The mysterious person who stuffed the envelope into her room did not appear, but Xiuxiu appeared at the end of the corridor. Under the dim light, Xiuxiu was wearing a black Clothes, she walked towards Shiping numbly.Xiuxiu's footsteps were light and light, and there was no sound at all.The process of Xiuxiu moving towards her seemed very long, with a feeling of suffocation. The blood-boiling feeling Shi Ping had just disappeared completely, and all she felt was the chill.Shiping wanted to close the door again, but she had no strength to refuse Xiuxiu's approach.Xiuxiu is also full of mystery.Xiuxiu finally came in front of her, and Xiuxiu began to look at Shiping with indifference.Shi Ping was hit by her gaze, and her body trembled. They looked at each other for a while, or Shiping broke the silence, Xiuxiu, you are not asleep, do you need me? Xiuxiu said, I heard you yelling and thought something happened to you, so I came up to take a look. Shiping said, come in. Xiuxiu floated into Shiping's room.Shi Ping turned sideways to let Xiuxiu enter the room and then closed the door.They sat down. Shi Ping asked Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu, did you sleep just now? Xiuxiu said, I didn’t sleep, I was watching TV, and I came up when I heard your yelling, Director Li told me to take good care of you, and she also said, what are you going to do in the guest house Questions, I'm the only one asking. Shiping swallowed and said, did you hear someone coming upstairs? Xiuxiu shook her head blankly, she didn't hear it, it's just you and me in this place, who else will come! Shi Ping felt that after talking with Xiuxiu, her psychology became normal.After all, Xiuxiu is a living person with flesh and blood, she has nothing to be afraid of.With Xiuxiu talking with her, Shi Ping's loneliness was effectively relieved immediately. Shi Ping was looking for topics to talk to Xiuxiu, she asked, Xiuxiu, why don't you go to school! Xiuxiu lowered her head after listening to her question, her eyes looked at her toes, she was wearing a pair of very old red plastic sandals, her black toes moved.Shi Ping noticed her toes. Such a girl's toes looked rough, which made Shi Ping's heart tremble twice, and she felt a little sad. Xiuxiu was silent for a while before she said that her family was poor and how could she go to school without money. Shi Ping looked at Xiuxiu who was still bowing her head and said, then do you want to go to school? Xiuxiu still looked at her toes and said, of course, if I have a book to read, I would do whatever I want. Every time I see Xiaofang coming to the hostel with a schoolbag on her back, I would think, if I could be like Xiaofang What a joy it is to go to school. Shi Ping took a deep breath, if someone subsidized you to go to school, would you go? Xiuxiu raised her head, her eyes were clouded with mist. A person who lived here once offered to help me go to school, but I didn't agree. Shi Ping looked into her eyes and asked, why? Xiuxiu said, I can't go to school. If I want to go to school, my brother won't be able to go to school unless he also sponsors my brother. Shi Ping said, do you have a younger brother?Xiuxiu nodded, yes, he is now in the second grade of primary school. Shi Ping said, doesn't that person agree to sponsor you and your brother? Xiuxiu said, I didn't mention the matter of my younger brother to him, I just rejected his kindness. Shiping understood that Xiuxiu was here so that her younger brother could go to school.Shiping felt that the girl in front of her suddenly became noble, and at the same time, a kind of sadness arose in her heart.Shiping suddenly had an idea, she felt that she had an obligation to help Xiuxiu. Shiping sighed and said to Xiuxiu, if I sponsor you and your brother to go to school, will you agree? Xiuxiu lowered her head, looked at her toes and said, do I have such good luck? Shi Ping said with a smile, I will definitely help you! Xiuxiu raised her head, a gleam of hope flashed in her eyes, and that gleam was quickly extinguished.Xiuxiu said, Reporter Shi, thank you for your kindness. My grandma said that my life is not good. , because I am past the age of reading. Shi Ping said, as long as you are willing to read, there will be a way! Xiuxiu shook her head, I should give up on it.There was a sense of despair in Xiuxiu's voice, and Shi Ping was speechless. At this moment, another shrill and hoarse cry came from the field outside the window, Lily, come back—— Xiuxiu noticed the color of fear appearing on Shi Ping's face. Instead, she calmly said to Shi Ping, "Reporter Shi, don't be afraid. It's the Wuji woman who is screaming. Since Xiao Lili died, the Wuji woman has been coming every night." Go outside to call the soul. Because of Xiuxiu's presence, Shi Ping felt a little creepy after hearing the voice of the black chicken woman crying, but she was not so scared anymore. In an instant, Shi Ping had the idea of ​​going to the field to watch the black chicken woman screaming. Shi Ping said to Xiuxiu, I want to go and see the Wuji woman calling her soul, would you like to go with me? Xiuxiu said with a dull expression, what's so interesting about calling the soul, but if you want to see it, I'll go with you. Shiping said, let's go then. Xiuxiu nodded. The field in the Fraxinus Fraxinus village was pitch black, and the flashlight in Xiuxiu's hand seemed to be out of power, and the beam of light it emitted was dark red.There was a lantern swimming on the river beach in the distance. It was a lantern made by Wujipo. Because the wind was strong tonight, Wujipo did not light a torch, but lit a lantern instead.The soul-cry of the black chicken mother drifted away with the wind, appearing mysterious and terrifying in the dark night. Xiuxiu walked in front, and Shiping followed behind. Xiuxiu walked very fast, and Shi Ping was almost trotting behind her.Shiping was obviously not used to walking such a night walk. Shi Ping said, Xiuxiu, can you walk slower? Xiuxiu said, if you walk slowly, you won't be able to catch up with Wujipo. Shi Ping had no choice but to trot behind Xiuxiu.Wujipo's lantern moved like a willow's fire on the river beach in Fraxinus Mandshurica village. Because of the strong wind, the lantern was very erratic. If it wasn't for Wujipo holding the lantern, the lantern might have floated into the air.Soon, Xiuxiu and Shiping were very close to Wuji Po, that is, twenty or thirty steps away.At this time, Xiuxiu slowed down. Shi Ping asked, why don't you walk faster? Xiuxiu said, don't get too close, otherwise it will be bad for us, and the person who calls the soul has evil spirits on him.Xiuxiu's words fluttered in the wind, making Shi Ping feel chilly.Wuji Po didn't seem to notice Xiuxiu and Shiping who followed not far behind. She walked on by herself, calling, Lily, come back— Shiping was very surprised by the way Wuji Po walked very lightly in the dark. Seeing Xiuxiu's unaccustomed look, she muttered, it's so cold at night, reporter Shi, let's go back, I think it's going to rain soon, we didn't bring an umbrella. Shiping said, Xiuxiu, just stay with me for a while, okay, just for a while, we will go back soon. Xiuxiu agreed to her. Wujipo stopped under a tallow tree on the river beach. Shi Ping didn't know what she was going to do, so Wujipo stopped screaming.Wuji Po piled pebbles from the river beach under the tree, and soon a small pile of pebbles appeared under the tree.Shiping and Xiuxiu hid in the grass not far away, watching Wujipo's actions, and Wujipo sat down cross-legged in front of the small stone pile.She fastened the lantern to a branch with a string.The black chicken woman put her hands together and muttered something.Shi Ping couldn't understand what she was talking about. She was speaking a very strange local dialect, which didn't seem to be the language of this world. Shi Ping asked Xiuxiu in a low voice, can you hear what Wujipo is saying? Xiuxiu said, of course. Shiping said again, can you tell me what she is talking about? Xiuxiu said that she was cursing a woman who was Xiao Lili's mother. Shi Ping asked, why did she curse Xiao Lili's mother? Xiuxiu said it was because Xiao Lili's mother eloped with someone else. Shiping didn't ask any more questions.Wujipo's voice floated back and forth in the autumn wind, unusually weird and mysterious, Shi Ping felt that Wujipo's curse was like a cold snake swimming on Shi Ping's skin.Goosebumps appeared on Shiping's skin, she really didn't want to watch it anymore, she had a desire to escape, this kind of scene was extremely gloomy, and people would have the illusion of hopelessness. Shiping said to Xiuxiu, let's go back. Xiuxiu did not promise her. Shi Ping felt that her staring eyes were a little sore. She wanted to stand up, but her legs were limp. Shiping said to Xiuxiu again, Xiuxiu, let's go back. Xiuxiu still didn't answer her. Is Xiu Xiu obsessed?In the dark, Shi Ping couldn't see Xiuxiu's face, and the flashlight was also in Xiuxiu's hand, so it was impossible for her to use the flashlight to illuminate Xiuxiu.Shi Ping stretched out her hand, wanting to push Xiuxiu.Just as she was about to reach out her hand, she felt that someone stretched out a hand from behind and touched her neck. She could feel that it was a rough hand, and her delicate skin was abraded. Shi Ping turned around and shouted in horror, who! Only the wind was blowing, and it was so dark behind her that she couldn't see anything.At this moment, the lantern on the tallow tree disappeared, the black chicken woman disappeared, and the voice of the black chicken woman disappeared.The field was dark, deathly dark, Shi Ping's body seemed to be covered with ice, and she screamed loudly.The beam of the dim red flashlight shot towards her, and she heard Xiuxiu say, "Reporter Shi, what's the matter with you, look at me, I fell asleep after squatting here for a while." 石萍急促地对她说，秀秀，快回去吧！ 秀秀一定不知道她被吓坏了。
