Chapter 14 Chapter 12 The Terrible Deskmate

twelve years ago. It is said that the most valuable person is not necessarily the most eloquent person.God gave us two ears and one mouth, which originally made us listen more and talk less. Being good at listening is the most basic quality of a mature person. I have always believed in my ears, and even more in my eyes.But since I came to this weird town, I found that my ears, eyes, and even all the sensory organs in my body are no longer reliable. If so, how do many of the recent events explain it? As soon as I got home at night, I sat on the small stool in a sullen mood, flipping through books aimlessly.The old lady was busy preparing dinner, took time to glance at me, and asked, "Xiao Ye, were you bullied in the academy?"

"No." I shook my head. "Let me just say, my Xiaoye is so smart, she can only bully others, no one dares to bully you. Then why do you look listless?" "It's nothing, I'm a little out of shape." I said perfunctorily.The world and way of thinking of adults are much more complicated than that of our children, and because it is too complicated, it is more difficult to understand irrational things. If I were honest with them about what happened today, my mother would force my father to go home in half an hour, and my father would definitely find a doctor without hesitation.Forget it, it's better to save some saliva.

"Hey, when you're still out of shape, you little brat with a big fart, you thought you were the magistrate of the county." The old lady curled her lips and continued to work. My head is in a mess until now, like a mess, and I can't figure out any clues at all. There is only one thing that is certain, this small town is definitely not simple.Since I only came here for one day and encountered unimaginable weird things, what about my parents, did they also encounter them? At the dinner table, I tested the parents who were openly disgusting in front of their sons a little.

The old lady was intoxicated: "The neighbors here are very enthusiastic. Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Zhang sent some small gifts over early in the morning, and helped me clean up the room. Mrs. Zhao is also very..." The housewife is really scary, just skip the confession of the old lady and listen to the old man. The old man is also full of intoxication: "The interpersonal relationship here is much simpler than in the capital. The Xiao Wang, Xiao Zhang, and Xiao Li who just met, heard that I am going to open a grocery store, and helped me carry my things in early in the morning. In the shop that I just rented today, he also said that he would help me clean up the dust and go outside to have a big meal..."

It seems that sometimes a man who embraces the ideal of a grocery store is also the same as a housewife. The confession has no reference value, so I skip it again. Oh, is it that I am the most unlucky in the whole family, and weird things happen one after another when I arrive in a new place?Whoever I provoke provoked me!No wonder I didn't like this town in the first place, the fabled sixth sense must have been at work! After eating, I went back to my bedroom with a heavy heart, took out a paper and a pen to scribble.After a while, I felt bored, so I just lay down heavily on the bed. Look at the funnel on the opposite side, before you, the window has already fallen into darkness.The night in this place seems to come very early. In the city where I used to live, the sky would not gradually dim until the end of You hour.

Looking back at the ceiling from the window, I always felt that there seemed to be some strange marks on the snow-white ceiling.The trace looked more and more like a human face, with a nose and eyes, and those eyes seemed to be staring at me without blinking. I shivered and turned my gaze away again. At this moment, something suddenly sounded in the dormitory, accompanied by a strong vibration. I subconsciously jumped out of bed, and the shock suddenly disappeared! A chill suddenly rushed up my spine, and I stayed where I was, trembling.After the shock, the room was as quiet as death. The quietness was extremely abnormal, as if my ears could no longer receive any sound. The contrast was so great that my brain couldn't bear it.

"No, nothing!" I muttered silently.In my memory, there is only a screen behind me, which is used to separate the urinal. The screen used to be in this house, it is very old, and there is a picture of a beautiful woman in red on it. Suddenly, I smelled a fragrance in my nose abruptly, like the rouge and gouache my old lady would occasionally smear on her face.I paused and turned around slowly. Immediately, I was stunned. The woman in red on the screen is actually struggling in the painting. Her slender hands have become no longer slender, and her whole body is no longer slim. The whole body is swelling, as if it is about to flow out of the painting.

wrong!She was really trying desperately to get out of the screen. Her hand did stick out of the screen, and when it reached the outside, it turned into sharp claws. At the same time, she let out a piercing scream, as if she wanted to tear me apart. This kind of weird incident is simply not something that a ten-year-old child like me can bear.So I opened my mouth and screamed loudly in fear. I only heard the old lady downstairs screaming, and then the sound of "da da da da" hurried footsteps. The old lady rushed to the door while screaming, still holding the kitchen knife being washed in her hand.The old man couldn't take it anymore, so he tapped her forehead lightly: "Have you had enough trouble! You are making a fuss, and you don't know what you are talking about. Look, isn't Xiaoye doing well?"

"Almost scared me to death." Seeing that I was safe and sound, my old lady patted my chest hard: "I thought something was wrong with him." Dad looked at me: "What happened?" "There is a ghost..." I looked behind the screen with dull eyes. The old man also looked at the screen, looked carefully for a long time, then stroked the back of his head and asked, "Is there anything behind the screen?" "Yes! There's a woman in a red shirt inside, it's scary, she was screaming and trying to kill me just now." I couldn't help shivering.

The old man and the old woman looked at each other, and the old woman said: "Ye Ye, there is no woman in red inside at all, and even if there is a woman you call, we should be able to hear clearly just now. But just now I I didn't hear anything from your father, except for your screams." I was taken aback, and when I looked again, I was surprised to find that that woman, that terrible woman had returned to the place where she had been, and even the gesture of reaching for the hairpin was exactly the same as before.The inside of the current screen is clean and full of artistic feeling, where is the shadow of that horrible monster just now?

"But just now I clearly..." I hesitated to speak, and suddenly found that no matter how I explained it, the parents in front of me couldn't believe me.A feeling of grievance suddenly flooded into my heart. The old lady wanted to say something, but was stopped by the old man. The old man looked into my eyes and said slowly: "Yeye, you have always been a good boy, although we did not ask for your permission to move this time, which made you very resistant to this place, but I hope you can understand me a little bit. Us. I also want to give you and mother a better living environment. After all, my hometown is already full of smog and is not suitable for our family. Well, you are tired too, go to bed early." Dad helped me to the bed, After covering the quilt, he blew out the oil lamp in the bedroom, and when the door was closed, he poked his head in and said, "I hope you can get used to this place soon, and you will know after a long stay that the people here are actually very nice." It's over, it seems that my parents have completely decided that I am playing against them, and now I guess I can't wash it off by jumping into the Yellow River.I sat up from the bed unhappily, lit the oil lamp, took out a piece of paper and wanted to write something. But when I bring up the pen, I have a lot of thoughts, and I don't know where to start. Sighing slightly, I smiled wryly and wrote: Today is the second day after my family moved to Heishui Town, and it is also my first day to go to Bailu Academy.To be honest, I really don't know what words to use to describe my first day of transfer life. But, I hope that weird things don't happen again in the future. Since I moved here, I have been misunderstood twice by my parents, and I feel really bad. For the first time in my life, I discovered that being an ordinary ignorant student is actually the happiest thing. After writing the diary, I went to bed early. The second day in Heishui Town was spent in fear and fear. I hope that tomorrow morning, I will return to my ordinary life. But as soon as the class started the next day, the troublesome deskmate showed up on time again. "Hey, buddy, do you know? There is a big forest behind the academy playground, and there are some strange things in it!" Zhuge Yu, the weird deskmate early in the morning, whispered in my ear. I couldn't help thinking of the invisible thing that Zhao Ningxiang found in front of the woods, and then smiled wryly.Is that considered interesting? As soon as the first class started, Zhuge Yu juggled snacks out of the desk drawer. There were all kinds of snacks, and there was almost no room for them on the table.Mr. Zhang didn't seem to notice at all, and continued to concentrate on his class. Don't get involved with him, don't get involved with him. I desperately focused on the blackboard, desperately ignoring him. Seeing that I thought he didn't exist, Zhuge Yu grinned and threw handfuls of snacks into his mouth. An audible voice whispered to me, "Hey buddy, would you like a pack?" "No need, and please don't disturb my class!" I turned my head and refused seriously, like a peerless good student.If the former husband saw that face, his jaw would drop in surprise. In the past, I would miss classes as soon as I was in class, relying on my good grades to not attend classes well, and the boring things I did when I was bored have become a beautiful scenery in the class.At that time, I did everything, but I didn't take classes seriously. "It's really boring." The deskmate shrank his neck, and stuffed the table full of snacks into the desk. After a while the table was cleaned, and he seemed to feel that the clean table was too much to bear, so he pulled out a soft pillow from the drawer that seemed to say "you can sleep so comfortably that you can drool" from the drawer, and turned your neck vigorously , Then embraced the pillow and fell asleep without hesitation. My Buddha!May I ask if his drawer is the legendary Sumeru bag?How to arrange and combine to pack so many things! Rational, I suppressed my curiosity and managed to hold it until the end of get out of class.Fortunately, this weird deskmate slept all morning and didn't do anything unreasonable to harass me. Soon it was lunch break, and Zhao Ningxiang ran over during meal time. "Hello, Yebuyu member." She greeted me arrogantly, her voice sounded like the emperor of a certain country, and there were two children behind her. "This is what I told you, the new members of my walking club are silent at night." She raised her head and introduced me to the two children triumphantly, and then her eyes lit up: "How about it, there are two people in my club. Hurry up and give me what you promised." This... Could it be that I have not only entered the wolf's den, but also been accidentally taken as a bet? "Understood, I'm sorry." The two men reluctantly handed her two calligraphy and paintings. With a wry smile, the boy on the left stretched out his hand and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Lu Jian, that's the 'Lu Jian' who drew his sword to help Lu Jian, he is the president of martial arts." Come on, as soon as I heard my self-introduction, I knew that I must be a martial arts madman.Ninety percent of this kind of person may be a troublesome person, and they will be immediately transferred to the key and neglected list. The girl on the right is very small, with two dimples on her face that seem to be able to suck people in, she said generously: "My name is Xiaoxue, the 'Xiao' of Sixiao in Bijianyi, and the clouds on my temples want to be fragrant and snowy on my cheeks. 'Snow'. Work as an administrator in the library of the academy." Oh oh oh, a rare poetry madman, probably a promising literary girl who aspires to develop into literature in the future.Finally met a normal person! I am always very polite and greeted immediately: "Hello. Just like the one who introduced me just now, my name is Yebuyu, Yebuyu's 'Ye', Yebuyu's 'No ', the 'language' of Yebuyu." The three people opposite immediately burst out laughing. "Your self-introduction is really frugal, I admire it." Xiaoxue laughed until her slender waist bent down. Lu Jian laughed enough, looked at me curiously: "Did you really join Zhao Ningxiang's walking club?" "Forced." I smiled wryly. "It's totally understandable." Lu Jian and Xiaoxue showed bitter smiles of sympathy. Although these two guys did not join this club, they must have been tortured enough by Zhao Ningxiang. Zhao Ningxiang glared at them both with a smirk, patted my shoulder and asked, "Yebuyu member, do you seem listless?" "It's not that Zhuge Yu, I can't stand him anymore!" My pain immediately found a place to vent, and I complained endlessly: "That guy is a devil, I have never seen anyone like him!" People. Sometimes I really wonder if their family runs an acrobatic troupe, or his father is a warlock..." "Wait, who are you talking about?" Zhao Ningxiang asked. "Zhuge Yu!" Zhao Ningxiang turned around to look at Xiaoxue and Lu Jian, and asked suspiciously, "Is there anyone named Zhuge Yu in our class?" "How do we know, we are not in your class." They both replied in unison. "Isn't it from our class?" Zhao Ningxiang put her finger on her lips and muttered. "Why is he not in our class? I don't even know how the old man in your class is. Not only is he in our class, he is also my deskmate!" I said loudly. "Your deskmate?" Zhao Ningxiang was stunned for a moment, then asked stupidly, "Where do you have a deskmate?" "You're kidding me!" I glared at her. "How could I not have a deskmate? That guy is called Zhuge Yu. He has been harassing me since I was sitting here." "Student Yebuyu, you really don't have a deskmate, even we outsiders know about it." Lu Jian also nodded his head to testify. "That's right, I remember that the table in your row has been empty and no one is sitting. I have been studying in this class five years ago, and no one has ever sat in those two seats. It wasn't until Ye Buyu that you came to occupy it." One seat is reserved, and the other is still vacant, so you don't have any so-called tablemates at all." Zhao Ningxiang thought for a while and said. "Impossible, who has been sitting next to me all this time?" I was so surprised that I couldn't help shivering. "No one! I'm sitting not far from you, and I've never seen anyone sitting next to you!" "How is it possible!" I frantically walked to the seat at the same table, and opened the drawer to prove that this table is indeed occupied by people often.But when the drawer was pulled open, I froze. The drawers are empty, nothing is there.Just a layer of dust and a faint smell of putrefaction. On this old desk, I can't find any trace or evidence that someone once sat on it. Is it true that no one has ever sat with me?I actually don't have a deskmate?No wonder that no matter what weird things that guy named Zhuge Yu did, the teachers and classmates in the classroom would not be surprised at all.Because they can't see him at all, only I can see it! So, what exactly is that boy named Zhuge Yu, my deskmate? Is it because of my inability to adapt to the new environment, so I have an illusion?Or was it true that as my parents said, I was resistant to their move, so deep down I started to hallucinate myself? "Zhuge Yu, you said the name of that tablemate is Zhuge Yu, right?" Just when I started to deny myself, Xiaoxue seemed to think of something, and said, "I seem to have seen this name somewhere." "Really?" Zhao Ningxiang immediately became interested: "Where is it?" "It should be the Library Pavilion of the academy. I accidentally saw it when I was helping the academy sort out the student files." Xiaoxue said uncertainly. Zhao Ningxiang grabbed her arm and wanted to run out: "Come on, let's check." "Stupid, do you know where the archives building is?" Xiaoxue slapped her hand off in disdain: "It's over there at the old bookstore, which is completely abandoned now. To go there, you have to go through the woods behind the playground. If you want to go back and forth, at noon There just isn't enough rest time." "When school is over in the afternoon, the four of us will go together." Zhao Ningxiang was in high spirits. Lu Jian hesitated and said: "But it is said that the old school building is haunted at night, which is very scary. Besides, the woods behind the academy are rarely tidied up, and it is almost turning into a forest. It is rumored that there are often strange voices coming out!" "Tch, coward, thanks to someone who often calls himself a hero." Zhao Ningxiang said contemptuously. "Humph, just go." Lu Jian was indeed a martial arts fanatic, as soon as the aggressive method appeared, he gritted his teeth and agreed. He is really a simple guy. "I'm not going." I raised my hand. "Why?" Zhao Ningxiang was obviously surprised. "No reason, I hate troublesome things." I said without hesitation. Zhao Ningxiang looked at me and suddenly laughed: "It's okay, you will definitely go." "Why?" I asked back. "Because I can feel that you are completely different from your stinky and indifferent appearance. You are a good boy with great curiosity." ... was completely seen through. For some reason, there is always an ominous premonition in my heart.I always feel that the truth will not be presented in front of our eyes so simply.Perhaps, if you continue to explore this matter willfully, it will become extremely dangerous... After school in the afternoon, the four of us gathered in front of the woods behind the playground.Looking at the hideous looking trees even in the daytime, I was inexplicably worried, took a deep breath, and then slowly stepped in with them. Fortunately, nothing unusual happened along the way, and we came to the old school building smoothly. I just looked at it and felt uncomfortable all over.The dilapidated old school building is made of wood and stone, and its mottled appearance is already creepy. There is a weird atmosphere lingering around. Although it is May, I feel a little bit of coolness coming from the old school building. "Do you really want to go in?" Lu Jian began to hesitate again. "Nonsense, it's already here, can we still give up halfway?" Zhao Ningxiang kicked open the half-covered door and walked in, and screamed as soon as she entered. The three of us also rushed in in a hurry, and then petrified at the same time. I saw a dead body lying on the bed not far away. No!That thing was no longer a corpse, because it only left a bunch of skeletons and a little hair.It's covered in dust, but that's definitely not what surprised me. What scares me the most is that countless grass roots and tree roots come out from under the floor, and those roots shuttle into every bone, and they bind the corpse tightly, as if it is also a part of them. Zhao Ningxiang regained consciousness from the state of daze, and she tapped on her head vigorously: "It hurts! It doesn't look like I'm dreaming!" Xiaoxue also stared at the scene in front of her in horror, and murmured, "God, what's going on?" I suppressed the disgust in my heart, and looked at the skeleton in front of me over and over again with strong interest.Finally, he flipped the skeleton with his hands and laughed dumbfoundedly. "You idiots, this isn't a real skeleton. There's nothing to be afraid of." I laughed and said, "Have you ever seen a human skeleton when you were studying acupuncture? Feel it yourself. It's made of hard wood and painted on the outside. Layers of paint." The three of them blushed and laughed awkwardly. Zhao Ningxiang furiously kicked the skeleton in front of her: "I don't know which damned guy is playing a prank. If I catch him, I, I will punish him for copying it a thousand times and torture him to death!" It would be a ghost to let you catch it!I shrugged my shoulders and was about to look around.Suddenly, I heard a strange sound coming from under my feet, and before I could react, the whole world shook. Only when we managed to escape did we realize that the entire Heishui Town was destroyed at this very moment...
