Chapter 9 Chapter 7 Memory of the Wall

twelve years ago. There is a forty-foot-long circular runway in the playground of Bailu Academy, but it is this standard oval shape, but it looks like the back of a toad. After looking at it for a long time, I have disgusting goosebumps. "How did you feel on the first day of school?" Zhao Ningxiang squeezed beside me and asked. "It's not bad." I replied listlessly, this ghost academy is really too daunting. "I like it here." She said with a smile: "I grew up here since I was a child, and I am very familiar with the plants and trees here. Would you like me to take you around after school?"

I thought about it, nodded and said, "Then, thank you." It seems that I will live here until my father's dream of a grocery store is shattered. At least I won't be able to leave for the next year. It's better to get acquainted with the environment first. "Hee hee, you are really strange." Zhao Ningxiang laughed again. I said angrily, "What's wrong with me?" "It's just weird." She turned her head and whispered, "Quiet, it's time to start." start?start what?Do you practice martial arts? I stretched my fists and feet, and prepared to start a basic set of fists and kicks when the call sounded, but I didn't hear the familiar sound of shouting horns after waiting for a long time.

what happened? I raised my head and froze for a moment.Everyone sat cross-legged on the ground, closed their eyes silently as if they were meditating, and I was the only one left standing alone in the whole playground. Why is this academy not practicing martial arts, but meditation?What the hell is going on in the yamen here? No one cares about the mess in the academy! Do as the Romans do, I have always followed the popular route.I had to imitate them and sit down, close my eyes and think wildly. Not long after, I suddenly felt a heavy weight on my shoulders, as if someone was patting me hard.I opened my eyes immediately, but no one saw it. The students nearby were still sitting quietly, motionless.

Who was it that took the picture of me just now? I looked under me in bewilderment, and suddenly found that my body had sunk more than half a foot down, and half of my buttocks had been buried in the soil. how is this possible!Was there that much strength on the shoulders just now?I secretly dug the soil under my body, and it was very firm, as if it couldn't bear the weight of my body. And when I stand up, I don't feel loose under my feet.That is to say, I fell because of that force?No, if it was really because of that force, all the bones in my body should have been crushed long ago.

sky!what the hell is it?I feel like my sanity is on the brink of collapse. Enduring the torment of great fear in his heart, I don't know how long it took, the students of the entire academy on the playground opened their eyes and stood up at the same time. Zhao Ningxiang stretched comfortably, and as soon as her eyes came into contact with me, she asked strangely: "Student Ye Buyu, what's wrong with you? Are you tired from meditating? Your face is frighteningly pale." I forced a few "haha" laughs, and managed to hold back a few words: "I, haha, there is no problem at all. Are you really meditating just now?"

Zhao Ningxiang gave a "hmm". "What's the use of this thing?" After thinking for a long time, I decided not to tell what happened just now. After all, I can't believe such an incomprehensible thing, and I will be regarded as an idiot if I tell it. "The dean of the academy said that our children will be more in touch with the power of the universe than ordinary people, so meditation is the most beneficial way of exercise for growth." I am speechless.This dean is really not a simple person. He can say such words. I really want to see how his head grows. He is so wise!

Not long after the meditation, the class started again. Like other large academies, it is a full-day entrustment system. Most of the morning classes are in the main class. The ethics class is all taken up, but the break time between classes is more reasonable. There are fifteen minutes. When I was in class, I was simply struggling to get by, watching the idiotic literacy course without tears, coupled with the harassment of dandruff by my weird deskmate, I was on the verge of going crazy. Fortunately, my deskmate was just concentrating on scratching his dandruff, which was as lush as goose feathers and snow, and didn't talk to me.But occasionally when I glanced at it from the corner of my eye, it also made me uncomfortable.

No, I am humble, forgive me, I am definitely not as simple as being uncomfortable, it is simply that I am so uncomfortable that I want to cry and vomit.This guy happily accumulated dandruff all over the table, then happily swept them into a pile with a branch, and finally carefully put them into a leather bag. I glanced at his bag curiously, but when I saw it, my face turned pale and my stomach churned.I saw that there was nothing else in his bag at all, only dandruff, white flowers, I seemed to have smelled the disgusting smell of dandruff fermented after a long time. "Pfft!" I covered my mouth hard to prevent myself from spitting it out.

Mr. Wang looked at me, and asked with concern: "Night silence, is there something wrong with you? Your face is frighteningly pale, do you want to go to the academy clinic to have a rest?" The large academy is equipped with a clinic. I don't know which genius invented it. It is too full of royal spirit. "Yes, absolutely." Without hesitation, I stood up holding my stomach and decided to pretend to be sick: "I guess there is something wrong with the breakfast, I have a stomachache." If I stay any longer, I guess I'm going to really spit it out. "That's good." Mr. Wang's eyes wandered around the classroom and stopped on Zhao Ningxiang: "Ningxiang, Ye Buyu is not familiar with the road yet, you can accompany him to the clinic."

"Wow! Good!" Zhao Ningxiang stood up happily, and walked out as soon as she supported me. However, this classmate, if you help me, please help me, why are you so strong that you seem to be pulling me out! As soon as I walked out of the classroom, I broke free from her and walked forward on my own. Zhao Ningxiang looked at me with a smile, and said meaningfully: "I can't tell, Yebuyu, who dared to pretend to be sick and skip class as soon as he transferred to another school, be careful that I will expose you." "Look more clearly, okay!" I put my face, which was still pale with nausea, in front of her, and said angrily, "Look at my face, does it look like it's all right! I'm justified now, Mr. A patient who has already admitted, do you understand what a patient is?"

"Understood, why don't you understand." She made a face at me: "But who cares, as long as this lady can skip get out of class by the way, she will be satisfied. Hey, where do you want to go?" "Clinic!" I replied without turning my head.This girl is probably a troublesome person, stay away from her. "The clinic is here." Zhao Ningxiang pointed in the opposite direction with her slender fingers. I looked in the direction she pointed in doubt, and then pointed to a sign not far away in confusion and asked, "Strange, there is clearly a sign pointing to a clinic." "Where is it?" she asked. "It's right here." I walked over and pointed to a wall. There was indeed an old wooden sign not far away, with the word "clinic" written on it in dim vermilion letters, and a downward arrow symbol. Zhao Ningxiang said strangely: "Strange, I have studied here for more than five years, why have I never noticed that there is a sign here! However, this sign seems a bit strange." Speaking of it, this brand is indeed a bit weird.The old and even a bit dilapidated sign forms a sharp contrast with the brand new wooden walls of the teaching building. The sight of it makes people feel very uncomfortable, as if revealing some kind of weird atmosphere. "You mean, you've been here almost six years, and you've never seen this sign?" I frowned. "That's right." She nodded, then looked at me, and laughed "Puchi": "Student Yebuyu, you think like a little adult." My face was dignified and I ignored her at all.Strange, very strange, very strange, it is too unreasonable. This sign is not far from her class, and the only way to get to the playground is through this road. Zhao Ningxiang has a chance to see this sign at least once a day, and this sign is so conspicuous, how could she never notice it? ?Could it be that this sign was nailed up not long ago? No, even if it's just nailed up, who would be bored to use such an old brand with such a weird text color?What's more, the pointing arrow of the clinic is still downward.Could it be, whose prank? Forget it, there are enough things that give me a headache, ignore it, ignore it. Just when I was about to ignore this matter completely and go to the real clinic.Zhao Ningxiang grabbed me. "What?" I asked, frowning. "Let's go and have a look, it seems very interesting." She winked at me. "No." I refused without hesitation. "You are really boring, and you are not active in the invitation of beautiful women." She pouted and refused to let go. "Beauty? Where? Why didn't I see it?" The three interrogative sentences that came out of my mouth seemed to hit her hard on the head, and she dragged me forward angrily: "You are silent at night, you really have no manners." "It's up to you, I just don't want to go!" I continued to struggle in the opposite direction.What did this girl eat to grow up?Stronger than a cow. Just when we offset each other's strength until we were out of breath, Zhao Ningxiang suddenly let out a cry.I looked back and was also stunned in surprise. That weird sign had disappeared without a trace.The wall not far away was clean, as if the sign had never appeared before. I pulled Zhao Ningxiang away with all my strength, walked to the place where there was a sign, and looked at it carefully. No!Nothing at all!There were no nail holes for a sign, nor was there anything to prove that a sign had ever been there.I couldn't find any clues on the wall where the sign was originally hung. The sign actually disappeared without a trace inexplicably under our noses. what the hell is it?I can be sure that no one else has been here. After all, there is only one road. If there is someone, they will be able to see it at a glance.Is it an illusion?Under certain conditions, both Zhao Ningxiang and I had the illusion of "seen the brand"? Zhao Ningxiang stood there blankly with a pale face, and looked at me after a long time, her voice trembling: "Ye, Yebuyu students... Did we see a ghost just now?" "How can there be ghosts in this world." I said old-fashioned. "Then, what happened to the sign just now?" She was still in shock, and grabbed me tightly, as if she could feel at ease in this way. "I guess it's some kind of natural phenomenon." I propped my chin and said, "It is said that everything in this world has memory, including humans, animals, and non-living things, even a stone on the side of the road. As long as certain conditions are met, their memory It will appear, maybe we saw the memory of that wall by mistake just now." "Really?" She was dubious. "What else, I only have this explanation." I shrugged helplessly. "You don't seem to be very scared, such a scary thing..." She hesitated to speak. "Of course I'm afraid, but everything must have a reason for it to appear, and I don't care if I figure it out." Most of the time, I am a rational person. Although there are many things that make me completely unbelievable, I am a smart person. Smart people know how to find a reasonable explanation to deceive themselves. At this moment, the bell rang for the end of class, all the morning classes were over, and it was time for lunch break. But is that sign really a memory of the wall?Why do I sink into the dirt when I meditate between classes?It seems that since I moved to this weird Heishui Town, many weird things have sprung up around me like mushrooms after rain. For some reason, the lingering haze in my heart gradually became thicker.And I am becoming more and more disgusted with this small town. This academy is located on the bank of Heishui Lake. Because there are often egrets inhabiting it, it has a very straightforward name called Egret Academy.It was not until the afternoon that I realized that the education system here is a bit unbelievably excessive, and it is impossible to have it in other academies. The morning class is over, and then there is a lunch break, a five-quarter hour break for you to eat and play, and the afternoon class is not on time, and there are only two classes. Once the two classes are over, it is time for free activities and exchanges. Cut, the academy students here are quite leisurely.People from all over the country are complaining about increasing the number of places in the imperial examination, and working hard to advance to the official career. Every child who has the conditions to go to school is overwhelmed by the heavy pressure and the expectations of the family. Only this ghost place has completely subverted the imperial examination. The only way out of the right mind. At what time and how old are I, the class has only reached the level of literacy.No wonder the scale is so large, but it is not ranked among the top ten academies. "We don't have exams here, and many people don't know how to take imperial exams." It was Zhao Ningxiang who answered me, and she scratched my face vigorously: "I'm ignorant, I don't even know such simple and easy-to-understand things, I really don't know how you live like this big." I am completely speechless, the children here are indeed very happy, and I am extremely envious.Ok?No, it is estimated that there is only one academy in this small town, otherwise how can there be no reason not to earn money and go to a good academy?So I asked out. "It's absolutely correct. There is only one academy in this town. Parents of children in the whole town have only one choice. If they want to go to other academies, they have to move out of the town." Zhao Ningxiang is not without complacency, but I have no idea what she is complacent about. But if you think about it a little bit, this place can be regarded as a paradise for children! Fortunately, nothing weird happened in the two classes in the afternoon, and my deskmate miraculously did not come, so the time passed quickly.As soon as the get out of class bell rang, Zhao Ningxiang couldn't wait to run to my desk. "Yebuyu, Yebuyu classmate." Her voice was very cheerful: "Let's go." "Where are you going?" I looked at her suspiciously.This girl is really a headache, other places are very defensive, but she doesn't know the size at all. The girl's face immediately became gloomy: "You won't forget it, you made an appointment with me to take you around." "Oh, oh!" I patted myself on the forehead: "I haven't forgotten! I definitely haven't forgotten." "Hmph, you are really stupid when you think of Miss Ben, you obviously forgot to say it." She said angrily. "I didn't forget, really. I swear!" Oaths are always cheap. "Forget it, let me let you go, let's take you to familiarize yourself with the academy first." Zhao Ningxiang stared at me and suddenly smiled. This little girl must have done it on purpose!She was definitely not angry at all. She dragged me out of the classroom, saying that she was familiar with the environment, but she didn't give me time to see the environment clearly. The words in her mouth were like Zhuge Liang's chain crossbow, firing "da da da" non-stop. No, if this continues, I will really be dealt with directly by her voice with a "dizzy" effect.For the sake of my own life, I absolutely must stop her from introducing it. "That, student Zhao Ningxiang. Does every student in the academy have to participate in after-school activities?" I managed to catch a break and interrupted her eloquent words. "That's right, everyone wants it, and it's the dean's rule." She nodded. "That great Dean again? Could participating in these activities also increase the energy of the universe?" I asked again. "Smart, you can draw inferences from one instance!" She glanced at me appreciatively. I'm sweating. sharp!The dean of this house is indeed a ruthless character. "What club activities are there in Bailu Academy?" I asked. "a lot of." "Then which club are you from?" I continued to ask. She paused, then suddenly turned her head to look at me, and slowly uttered three words: "Walking Club." "Walking Club? What is this!" I was surprised that even the Demon Research Club could handle it calmly.I have never heard of this kind of society in my long ten years of life. "Just take a walk, stroll around, it's very easy." Zhao Ningxiang said perfunctorily. "Excuse me, are you the only one in this so-called easy club?" I guessed bluntly. "No way! You underestimate our club!" She hummed aggrievedly: "There will be two people soon." It means that she is still the only one now. Hey, let me just say, there is no way that a society that sounds so shameful will attract popularity. Since there is no popularity, of course no one will join.I just don't know who the unlucky ghost who is about to participate is. Wait, the little girl Zhao Ningxiang said just now, "There will be two soon"?immediately?What does this immediately mean?Could it be... Immediately, I had an extremely ominous premonition.It took me a long time to look into her eyes, point to my face, and stammered tentatively: "Miss, the person you said will be participating is not me, is it?" "Correct, absolutely correct. Classmate Yebuyu is really too smart." She grabbed my left hand, as if she was afraid that I would run away in a hurry. "Reject!" I shook my head without hesitation, desperately trying to break free from her hands. "Join, the walking club is really interesting." "No, I don't want to join a society whose name is so old-fashioned that it's embarrassing." I continued to struggle. "No way! You can see a lot of things during the walk!" She pulled me even tighter, and the tug-of-war continued. "Not participating." "Participate!" "Not participating." "join!" "No!" ... I don't know how long it took, but I finally compromised and somehow joined this shameful club with only two people, Walking Club.No wonder my father often said that my old lady was terrible. Sure enough, women really eat people like tigers without spitting out their bones, especially women who have a purpose and are difficult to deal with.No matter how small this woman is! Forget it, in short, if you join the walking club, you have to take a walk for an hour and a half every afternoon after all the classes are over.Zhao Ningxiang, the former polished president, looked like a villain, and walked beside me with a weird smile on her face, which made me worry that she would laugh her delicate face until cramp. "Okay, Yebuyu club member, let the president continue to introduce this academy to you." She was ready to talk again arrogantly. I immediately surrendered: "No need, Mr. President, you should always rest for a while. I will see with my own eyes." Sure enough, it was a mistake to promise her to familiarize me with the environment, but there is no medicine for regret.Let me who fell into the devil's lair and feel depressed be quiet for a while. She was finally quiet for a while, and then suddenly asked: "Yebuyu member, have you thought about what kind of person you want to be in the future?" "Yes, I want to be a hunter." I was taken aback and said without hesitation. "Hunter? What is that?" Zhao Ningxiang asked curiously. "I don't know too well, but it must be a very popular career. That's my childhood dream." I said slowly, constantly recalling the past scene after scene, the unhappy memory in my home , and slowly came to mind. Zhao Ningxiang rarely interrupted me, but just led me around the academy. In this way, after visiting the academy for an unknown period of time, I accidentally walked to a completely strange forest.But speaking of it, I don't have any familiar places here at all. "Student Yebuyu, what do you think is that?" Zhao Ningxiang suddenly exclaimed in surprise. I looked in the direction of her finger, but saw nothing. "How can there be anything?" I looked back at her and answered seriously. "Really, I have seen it!" Zhao Ningxiang took a few steps forward, then stopped under a tree, pointed to the ground and said: "Look carefully, it's very beautiful, really." I looked intently again, the direction where her fingers extended was still empty, there was nothing but leaves piled up all over the ground, not to mention the beautiful things in her mouth. I said displeased: "You are kidding me, why can't I see anything?" "How is it possible? Why can't you see such an obvious thing?" Zhao Ningxiang stared at me without blinking. After confirming that I was not joking, her face suddenly changed: "You really didn't see it?" I shook my head: "Really not." After speaking, I rubbed my eyes vigorously. When he opened his eyes again, his pupils snapped.I was dumbfounded, my eyes actually saw something beside Zhao Ningxiang at that moment, something that never existed before. The whole thing was pitch black, seven feet long and four feet wide, but it was not beautiful.I rubbed my eyes again to see the thing clearly. That thing, that thing, is just like a coffin.A coffin that reveals an inexplicable strangeness. "This is the beautiful thing in your mouth?" I felt my tongue was tied up, and I spoke out tremblingly. Zhao Ningxiang asked suspiciously: "You finally saw it? It was very beautiful..." Before she finished speaking, she also saw the coffin she was pointing at, screamed, and threw herself into my arms in fright. "It will turn out like this? What I saw was clearly, clearly... Strange, what did I see just now?" She trembled in fear, and muttered in her mouth. God, it's only the first day of school, how can I encounter so many inexplicable and inexplicable things?I'm going crazy!
