Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen

The next day, after thinking for a long time, I finally went to the police station and told the place where the duck died.So the school was in chaos again. People from the police station opened the air-raid shelter and found two male bodies in the section below the construction site. One of them was indeed a duck, and his whole body was swollen from being soaked in sewage. The forensic doctor identified that he died of acute myocardial infarction, and the time of death was... two hours before his date with the group of freshmen! So, who was it with those little ghosts that night?Is there really a ghost? !

And the second corpse made the whole thing even more confusing. It was obvious that he had been dumped in the bomb shelter for several years, and all that was left was his bones and hair, which had been eroded by the sewage.It is difficult for forensic doctors to determine what he looked like when he was alive.Fortunately, a school badge was found on the male corpse, and his identity was revealed—he was actually the one in the campus legend. Five years ago, he heard a baby crying near the pavilion, and then Wang Qiang, a second-year high school boy who suddenly disappeared! In just one month, several people died in a row, and the current principal even lost his beloved son.Of course, the school didn't want this kind of thing to spread, so things like money played a role again.

But the students at school are miserable.Not only is the price of everything in the school constantly increasing wildly, but it is also constantly being made to pay a lot of fees that you don't have. Alas, after that day, I suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted, so I took a few days off and went home. My home is not far from the school, and it is a neighboring town just over half an hour away by car.Dad had obviously heard about the string of accidents at school, but he was uncharacteristically not asking me much. "Ha, it's better at home..." Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the dormitory, I sighed as I watched the fountain in the center of the roof garden constantly turn up the water column like white waves in the heavy rain.

Although I lived a life that was almost isolated from the world for several days, I still couldn't feel relaxed.And one more... Who will die?Xueying, or me? Tired of standing, I simply turned on the TV and tuned it to a local TV station. Not long after the noon news started, I watched it without interest, only vaguely aware that someone had committed suicide by jumping off a building yesterday morning. "Really, why are people these days always so boring...what the hell do they take their lives for!" I muttered to myself, and couldn't help but turn up my voice, wanting to hear who the idiot was this time.The pictures of the suicide were slowly broadcast on the TV, and before I could see them clearly, there was a sound from downstairs.

Ding... Ding... the doorbell rang.I looked down and saw a girl in a white dress.Although you can't see his appearance from above, he has a good figure and looks familiar.Go downstairs and have a look. Hehe, it turned out to be Xueying! She was soaked all over, and her face was full of panic as if she was very scared.As soon as she saw me, she hugged me tightly and started to cry... Her body was very soft, but it was surprisingly cold.Maybe it's because the whole body is covered with rain... God!It really confuses me. "What... what's wrong?!" I have never coaxed girls, because this kind of emotional creature will always do some stupid things that I can't understand.

After finally coaxing her to calm down for an hour, she changed into a clean dress and sat down. "Wine or coffee?" I asked. "Whatever." Her voice was still trembling slightly... Alas, I really don't know what terrible thing happened. I suppressed my curiosity, and waited for her to drink a few sips of red wine before slowly asking: "It can be said...why did you come to me...and why are you so scared?" Xueying nodded but said: "Can you lend me your hand?" Before I could react, she had already tightly grasped my hand with her soft little hands, as if she was emboldened and Confirm my existence.Then he slowly said:

"I went to class as usual this morning, but when I got to the third class, I felt very uncomfortable and always felt drowsy. So I asked the teacher for leave and went back to the dormitory early to rest. It stands to reason that at that time They are all in class, and almost no one is still in the dormitory building. But when I opened the door of my dormitory, I saw an elderly girl in a purple-blue dress sitting on my bed with her back to me. I thought I went to the wrong door. I hurriedly said sorry and backed out. But I looked at the door number again, it was wrong! This is obviously my dormitory! I walked in and said to her: "Senior sister, you went to the wrong door." .'She didn't turn her head to look at me, and she didn't answer, she just sat there blankly. Or...are you waiting for someone? Zhang Jia from my upper bunk?" I continued to ask, while sizing her up. , and took a few steps forward.The skirt this senior sister is wearing is very old, probably more than ten years ago. What's even more strange is that there are still a few patches on the corners of the skirt.But it is still simple and clean.Such a snobbish school also accepts such poor students?I thought in amazement, and couldn't help saying with pity: "Senior sister, your skirt is all torn...you should get a new one. It happened that I bought a few yesterday, but they were too big...but you It seems to be just right to wear, hehe, do you want to try it?

"She still kept silent, didn't look at me and didn't make any gestures, as if she was alone in this room. I wondered if I offended her with something? Ah! Not good! I heard that Poor students will feel inferior when they go to schools in big cities. Maybe I hurt her self-esteem just now. This is not good! So I hurriedly said: 'I...I didn't mean that!' "This senior finally reacted. She slowly turned her head to look at me. Ah! She...she has no face! No! It should be said that her face is blank, and the place where there should be facial features is actually empty. Nothing. It’s like a caricature with only the outline of the face and hair! I screamed and rushed out, but I could clearly hear her laughing behind me, with that weird and cold voice Keep repeating 'By the water...and another...by the water...and another...hehehehehe'..."

When Xueying spoke up to this point, her hands kept exerting force because of her fright, and her nails almost sank into my flesh.One can imagine how scared she was! "So you came here to find me?" I asked calmly.She nodded.I sighed: "It's almost time for lunch, let's come together. I'll take you back to school after dinner." "No! I don't want to go back," she cried. "Then what are you going to do?" I asked, "Do you want to live here?" "Can't you?" she asked confused. I was dumbfounded by this stupid question: "Of course not! Imagine a girl sleeping with a boy when she doesn't come home. Then someone will ask 'Hey, two young and healthy men and women together Spend the night in a house. So what's going to happen'? Then the other person will pretend to reply: 'What else to do? Except that and that and that'. Gossip by then Come together, I am fine, but you will be miserable."

"What's the matter!" Xueying said indifferently: "──I'm almost dead, who cares so much. And you promised to protect me!" "Yes. I'm protecting you... protecting your reputation." "But send me back, I, I'm so scared!" "There's nothing to be afraid of." Instead of being angry, I smiled: "Be a little more obedient in the future. Don't leave orders and you'll be fine." "But……" "There's nothing left." "You really don't want to take me in?" "It's for your own good."

"Okay! Big fool, then I'll go back now. Are you satisfied!" She walked out angrily. "Hey, do you need such a big reaction? I'll see you off!" I grabbed my coat and followed. Alas, that's why I'm especially tired of women who don't know what to say.Their capricious personalities make people very at a loss.Obviously it was for their sake, but in exchange for that stinky face, what are you doing! When she took the bus back to school, Xueying's anger seemed to disappear. At the entrance of the dormitory, she said: "Can you accompany me? If you go to class now, you will definitely be arrested and scolded. And it's that Wan Yanwang's..." I said: "No, this is a dormitory for girls. It will be miserable if others see it." "What's the matter, I'm in class now. Aren't you afraid that I'll have an accident? What if it comes again?!" She grabbed my hand and pulled me in.I sighed helplessly. Hehe, this is the first time I entered a girl's dormitory. It's really different from the messy dormitory of boys.Xueying's bed was the lower one by the window, and a neatly folded quilt was placed on the clean and tidy sky blue sheets. "Hey, it really looks like her. It's very neat. It's as if it hasn't been used last night." I thought, but felt a little inappropriate.Why do I think this bed was useless last night? We sat on the edge of the bed, not saying a word to each other.She looked at me quietly for a while, then shot her eyes out of the window. "I always like to look at the big tree not far from the opposite side. Sometimes I can see the bird's nest on the branch. Haha, there are father bird, mother bird, and a newborn bird. It is not yet I can fly, but I squeak every day, patiently waiting for my parents to return..." Her face was filled with happiness. "After that, you can continue to observe until the little bird can fly and migrate south with its parents in autumn." I said. "But then, will that little bird come back?" "It should be..." "you promise?!" "Ha, how can I guarantee it." She looked at me blankly again, and suddenly said innocently: "I think that little bird will definitely come back, it must come back alone, and then take a wife and have children in the nest that gave birth to itself. Because it must be reluctant to part with this piece of life. It raises its land, and is reluctant to part with the person it loves deeply. Even if that person doesn't know that he has fallen in love with him obsessively, or even doesn't like him...but the bird will still cherish the love hidden deep in his heart Go on, even though she can't get him, she must make him never forget herself, even if she sacrifices her own life, as long as it's for him... Tell me, isn't that little bird stupid?" "No, maybe this is its fate. It can't get rid of it, and it can't get rid of it." I was infected by her emotions, and I couldn't help feeling sad. At this time, the bell for the end of get out of class came from a distance.Before I knew it, school was already over. "Okay, I have to go." I stood up, "If other people see me here, they will definitely be arrested as a nympho." Xueying looked at me reluctantly, with only sadness and misery in her eyes.It's like never seeing me again, never seeing this world again.She pulled me, then hesitantly let go.Suddenly, she raised her head and pressed her pink lips to mine.I was unprepared, I just felt that her lips were soft, but they were icy, so icy that it hurts... At that moment, my mind suddenly flashed the picture of the suicide broadcast on TV last night... Then, it was Xue Ying. "No! Don't! It shouldn't be like this!" I cried out in despair.But she just smiled at me faintly: "All this is just for you, I want you to remember me forever!" The wind picked up again.It passed through the top of the tree, quietly and silently picking off the dead leaves.A little bird squeaks, vibrates its young wings and takes the first step out of the nest...
