Chapter 111 Chapter Twenty-Eight

She was not interested in our conversation, she smiled politely, turned around and left.Jiao Pi was proud of his sense of humor in front of girls. I stared blankly at Hu Hong's back as he drifted away.Jiao Pi came up and beat my chest, which startled me.Jiao Pi squinted at me: "Hey, you fell in love with me so soon?" "What's the matter!" After being frightened by him, I was more awake, but then on the way to the study room, I always felt a pair of eyes staring at me under the willow tree behind me, and I didn't feel creepy.Jiao Pi was still chattering and commenting on Hu Hong's appearance with undiminished interest, but I remained silent, thinking of other strange things.

When I walked to the door of the study room, I couldn't help but turn around quickly, as if there was a dark shadow stalking behind me.Jiao Pi was taken aback by my sudden movement: "What are you doing? Brother, I scared you just now, are you taking revenge on me?" I saw a red fox crouching under a willow tree.As soon as my eyes met its bright green eyes, it slipped away quickly. "What are you looking at?" Jiao Pi looked in my direction, "There's nothing, I'm so nervous!" "Red Fox!" I yelled, my hairs standing on end.I really saw the fox show its face, and then disappeared again immediately.

"It's Hu Hong! You can tell from that figure." Jiao Pi patted my frightened face and walked into the study room. "I'm talking about the corner of the cafeteria." I followed into the study room and sat next to Jiaopi. "There's only one willow tree there." Jiao Pi replied indifferently.Let's take a seat. "You are freshmen, right?" A female student wearing deep glasses interrupted from behind.She may be a senior, because there are two postgraduate entrance examination guidance books on her desk. "That's Hu Liu." "Hu Liu?" I widened my eyes.

"Haha, I just changed Hu Hong's name to Hu Liu, brother, what a coincidence?" Jiao Pi was overjoyed. "Hu Liu is a kind of willow. The ancients said that Hu Liu is more seductive than ordinary willows. I didn't believe it at first. But when I was in my third year of college, a girl died under that Hu Liu. I witnessed it with my own eyes. That frightening scene." She pushed back her glasses, "It is said in ancient fantasy works that when a woman dies under a willow, her soul will turn into a fox. So every time I pass by the cafeteria, I am terrified." "Those books are all lies, who would believe that?" Jiao Pi retorted dismissively.

I feel like something important has been left out, but can't remember for a while. On the way back to the dormitory, I stood by the cafeteria for a while.In fact, this is not exactly a cafeteria. The lower three floors are restaurants, and the upper four floors are all entertainment venues.The little willow tree happened to be right under a broken window on the seventh floor.After the evening self-study, the night was already deep, and the window seemed like an open mouth, which seemed to swallow everything. The next day, I went to the teaching building for class through the cafeteria.Many people stood outside the cafeteria.When I asked, it turned out that a boy jumped from the window on the seventh floor last night.This morning, the cleaners discovered that he was still breathing weakly lying under the willows, and he was taken to the school hospital for emergency treatment.I approached the crowd, only to see scarlet bloodstains all over the place, which was the same color as the red fox.

Jiao Pi and I ran into Hu Hong again at the cafeteria that night.Jiao Pi shouted: "This is not a coincidence, this is fate!" I quickly covered his mouth.Hu Hong turned around to greet them with a smile. I noticed that she was a thin but pleasing girl.After exchanging pleasantries for a while, she said, "I still have something to do, so let's go first, bye!" Next, in the study room, I saw a senior girl wearing deep glasses.She took the initiative to wave to Jiao Pi, meaning to tell them to sit in the empty seats in front of her. "Hey, do you believe me? I said that Hu Liu is seductive. The boy who jumped off the building last night must have been seduced by the fox." Then, she whispered mysteriously: "Tell you two, That girl jumped from the same place last year. I don't know who will be next."

"Then why did she commit suicide?" I found this important question.Fear was evident in Jiao Pi's eyes. "What else can a girl do for it? Feelings. I heard that a boy she likes played with her feelings. When she can't think about it for a while..." She spread her hands, expressing helplessness, "Later, the boy was under a lot of psychological pressure. I don’t want to stay here anymore, I dropped out of school and went to work. It just so happened that someone jumped off the building again?” "Don't bring together completely irrelevant things, okay?" Jiao Pi's face changed.

"Then why are boys committing suicide in the same place today?" I asked.The senior girl looked at Jiaopi and nodded, indicating that what I said was also her question. "That window is easy to jump on, and there just happens to be a willow tree growing under it." Although Jiao Pi's voice was loud, he obviously lacked confidence, so his voice was a little trembling. "Well, tell me, what is the connection between the two? Who will jump off the building next?" "I don't know either," I said. The senior girl also shook her head and said, "But I'm sure that fox will harm others."

After evening self-study, I immediately went to the apartment building of the Department of Political Science and Law.I found Qiangzi, a friend I met while playing basketball.Qiangzi is a cadre of the student union of the Department of Political Science and Law and knows many people.A few minutes later, I came back from Hadron.The night was very quiet, and I could clearly hear my thumping footsteps.Then something went wrong, and I thought there was another pair of footsteps coming from behind my ears.When I stop, it stops; when I take a step, it also rings.Fortunately, I returned to the dormitory soon.

Jiao Pi saw fine beads of sweat oozing from my forehead and asked me what I was doing. "There is no such person as Hu Hong in the Department of Political Science and Law!" I said tremblingly. Neither Jiao Pi nor I slept well that night.Jiao Pi hugged the quilt tightly in fear.I lay flat on the bed and thought for a long time.I didn't fall asleep until about two in the morning.Under the flowing moonlight, there was indeed a red fox lying under the willow tree.Its green eyes shone fiercely, vindictively, and also mournfully.With dazzling blood flowing from the corner of its mouth, it stared at me firmly.After a few seconds, it turned and left, leaving as quickly as the last time I turned and saw it, leaving behind a body that had long been hidden behind.My intuition told me that it was the boy who jumped off the building.I saw that the heart of the corpse was bitten and torn by the red fox lick, and the blood underneath was spread on the ground like a piece of red fox fur.

The alarm clock woke me up, drenched in sweat. Jiao Pi refused to go to the evening self-study.I took my schoolbag and left alone.When I was about to reach the cafeteria, I vaguely saw a petite figure standing in front of me.I took a deep breath, stepped forward, and put my hand on her shoulder: "Hello, Hu Hong!" Hu Hong turned her head: "You know my secret, aren't you afraid?"
