Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Research on Scarlet Characters

The piece of paper was torn from a newspaper, and a few words were written on it in blood, which was still wet.My hands were dirty as soon as I touched it, and under the dim yellow light with unstable voltage, it was too permeable.That line reads sloppily, "Let you talk too much, be careful to die a miserable death!".I received too many letters, and I never expected to receive a threatening letter, and when I picked it up, my legs went weak with fright. I tried my best to be as calm as possible, imitating Wu Lingchun, and pushed a chair behind the door, then picked up the scarlet newspaper and sat beside the bed.At first, I was still wondering if someone else had put in the wrong door. The fortress was supposed to be for Wulingchun, but it was put under my door.Because Wu Lingchun often quarreled with the students' parents, and the parents tried to beat her several times, and my name "Tang Jiuyue" was not written on the bloody newspaper.I thought about it for a while, and finally had to face reality. No matter how ruthless the villagers are, they would never write such a thing to scare Wu Lingchun. Maybe it was really left by Lin Huhu when he escaped.His temper is so violent, he must not be reconciled.

When something like this happened, I really couldn't make up my mind whether to call the police or not.The police are busy cracking down on pornography, so there is no such thing as a threatening letter from the air traffic control. As long as the person is not dead, there is no need to worry.I picked up the newspaper, stood up anxiously, walked around a few times, and decided to ask Ouyang Xin next door.Just now, Wu Lingchun and I went to the end of the village to see the body being exhumed, only Ouyang Xin was in the school dormitory.Machang Village Primary School is not a government building, the rusty iron gate is always open, anyone can come in, maybe Ouyang Xin heard something.

The school's tile-roofed dormitory is only for college students, and there are five old teachers in the school. They live in the village with their families and do not mix with us young people.Frightened, I first put my ears on the door, unable to hear any movement outside, then I removed the chair and gently opened the door.The night in September was as cold as water, and I shivered a bit, holding the newspaper and trying to knock on Ouyang Xin's door.There was a light under the door of Ouyang's new house. Someone was walking inside, and the light and shadow flickered.When I saw this, I thought, fortunately Ouyang Xin was not asleep, so I knocked on the door.

I didn't wait for Ouyang Xin to open the door for half the salary. I thought he might not have any clothes on and would need some time to open the door, but after waiting for two minutes, there was still no movement.Gradually, I panicked, and immediately picked up my mobile phone to call Ouyang Xin, fearing that he had already been hacked to death in the house by Lin Huo.I had just dialed the phone when the bell rang, but not inside the house, but outside.I turned around and saw that Ouyang Xin had just stepped through the iron gate of the school and was walking towards the dormitory. "You..." I was dumbfounded, thinking that Ouyang Xin was not in the room, so who was walking around in it just now?

Ouyang Xin was surprised to see me, and said with a serious face, "What's the matter? Why haven't you slept yet?" I hurriedly said: "There is someone in your room! It can't be the escaped Lin Huo, I'll call the police immediately..." "No one!" Ouyang Xin's face changed suddenly, and he quickly said calmly, "Go to sleep. Why did Lin Huo come here? He must have gone to the mountains, maybe he has gone to Guizhou now." Ouyang Xin bypassed me and quickly opened the door. Before I could take a look inside, he closed the door immediately.I was afraid that Lin Huohu was really inside, but Ouyang Xin turned off the light after entering, and he couldn't hear anything.I let out a breath, saw no one around, and walked back to my room resentfully.Ouyang Xin is the most handsome man in the school, and even in the whole village. Maybe some beautiful woman will come to your door, so what the hell am I doing?

This is not my exaggeration. Many precocious female students like Ouyang Xin. Often the students are very naughty, and he can calm down when he comes.Wu Lingchun also often told me that she likes Ouyang Xin very much. If he hadn't been here, she would have left the horse farm village long ago.However, Ouyang Xin seldom stays with women, and spends most of the time alone in his room, trying to figure out what to do. I let out a long sigh and hung the newspaper on the table, thinking that it would be useless to worry now, who told me that I was just a teacher of a mountain village elementary school, not a dignitary.This night, I didn't turn off the lights, and was half awake and half asleep. I seemed to hear Zhao Xiyue calling for help in my daze. After waking up, I found myself lying in the dormitory, and it was already dawn.

Today is two days before the start of school, and it is customary to hold a school opening ceremony.It was said to be a ceremony, but in fact it was just a few tables set up on the playground in the center of the school. The old principal spoke in public for an hour or two, and the students sat on low stools and dozed off.Directing the students to sit and setting the table are the work of the young teacher. After I got up, I washed up in a hurry, and went out to work without breakfast. The opening ceremony is long and boring. Most students don't like it, but students with good grades like it the most. They will come early every time to help arrange the chairs.Why is this?Because the opening ceremony will give certificates to the top three students in the term exam last semester. Although many certificates can be bought for one yuan, the students enjoy the moment of standing in front of everyone to receive the award.

When I walked to the playground and saw Wang Xiaolong coming, I remembered Lin Huo's escape.Wang Xiaolong is the son of the village chief. Last night he and some students wanted to steal oranges from Lin Huhu's house, but they ran into the process of exhuming the corpse.Instead of listening to the village head's wife's embellished nonsense, it is better to mention Wang Xiaolong himself to restore the truth.There were more and more students, I was afraid of people talking too much, so after thinking about it, I called Wang Xiaolong to the Wafang dormitory and asked him what he saw from the beginning to the end last night.

Wang Xiaolong excitedly said: "This is the first time I saw a dead person! I was so scared that I couldn't sleep all night! Teacher Tang, why are you asking this?" Relying on the teacher's airs, I asked, "Let me tell you what you saw yesterday?" Who knew, Wang Xiaolong tilted his head and said, "It's not that Uncle Lin dug orange trees and found a dead person, and Aunt Zhao turned on the flashlight beside him." After hearing this, I stood there in amazement, sweating from shock.Uncle Lin is Tiger Lin, and Aunt Zhao is Joy Zhao.I thought Zhao Xiyue was missing, and Lin Huo also said that she had returned to her natal family. It turned out that she was still at Lin's house last night!I was afraid that Wang Xiaolong would be frightened, so I made a mistake, so I asked again.But Wang Xiaolong claimed that he would never admit his mistake, because several other children also saw it.Because everyone thought that Zhao Xiyue had returned to her natal family, when the police and adults questioned the child, no one asked about Zhao Xiyue, and they all thought that Lin Huo was alone at home.I also thought that Zhao Xiyue was missing or killed, but I didn't expect that she was still with Lin Huhu last night.

What is the reason that Lin Huohu lied to the outside world, telling everyone that Zhao Xixi had left?When the village chief rushed to control Lin Huhu last night, Zhao Xixi was no longer at Lin's house. Did she run away first? I got a headache from thinking about it, so I didn't speak for a while, and Wang Xiaolong took the opportunity to run away.At this time, Wu Lingchun opened the door and came out. Seeing me rubbing my forehead, he said, "Why don't you tidy up the room quickly, didn't Principal Zhang tell you?" "Say what?" I wondered. "There is a new female teacher coming, and there are not enough rooms, so I have to share a room with you." Wu Lingchun said to me.

There are four rooms in the Wafang dormitory, and the fourth room is unoccupied. It has been dusty for a long time and contains a lot of sundries.There are two beds in my room. If there are teachers coming, they will be assigned to my room.I thank God, thinking that it would be nice to have a companion to live with, so as not to be always scared during this time.There is nothing in my room and I don't need to tidy it up. I just need to put away the scarlet newspapers first. Last night, I thought about it for a long time while I was sleeping, and decided not to go to the police, because no one would answer the police, and it is difficult to find the police. This sentence is as false as a fairy tale in a remote mountain village.Besides, in general, if there are conflicts in the countryside, they are resolved by themselves, and they never cause trouble for the country.I can't guarantee that it was left by Lin Huo. If you make a fuss, you will not be able to get along in the village. When Wu Lingchun left, I wanted to go back to my room and take out the newspaper, and mention it to the principal first.The principal's surname is Zhang. His wife died of illness early on, and he is the only one in the family.Principal Zhang is a good person and takes good care of the new teachers, because very few young teachers are willing to stay.Thinking about it, I opened the door and walked into the room, but I was shocked.Because someone was reaching in through the window and snatching the newspaper in blood on the table. The window is not on the front door side, but behind the tile-roofed house.In order to transmit light, the teachers put their desks by the windows, and they can steal things as long as they reach in.Apart from my mobile phone, there was nothing valuable in the dormitory. I opened the windows for ventilation when the day came. I never thought that someone would steal the scarlet newspaper.As soon as I was in a hurry, I ran out of the room immediately, thinking of catching the thief later. There is an open space behind the dormitory, and the side of the open space leads to the iron gate of the school.Before I could run to the back, I saw a group of parents walking into the school and blocking my way.When I went around to the back of the tile-roofed house in the dormitory, the person had disappeared.I looked at the group of parents who walked to the playground, and thought that the person who stole the newspaper must be an adult, and children cannot reach the height of the window.But who would steal a newspaper with blood on it, that would be tantamount to a threatening letter, what is wrong with stealing, but that kind of thing? Those parents came to see the opening ceremony, almost all the women in the village, and the men all went to work to earn money.I looked at the women, including the village chief's wife, Aunt Liu, Aunt Huang, and even Boss Mo's new wife Lin Shuxiang.I don't understand who stole the newspaper from behind the tile-roofed house just now. I want to ask, but I can't get in.The important thing is, how did the thief know that someone had slipped me a threatening letter because I didn't tell anyone.I looked at the backs of the group of parents, thought for a while, and suddenly became cheerful.In addition to me, the person who wrote the threatening letter also knew that the blood-lettered newspaper was with me. That person must have regretted it and stole the newspaper back for fear that I would call the police. "Sure enough, it wasn't Lin Huohu who left it! Fortunately, I didn't call the police, otherwise I would have been embarrassed." I thought with a wry smile, and at the same time pondered, "Who wrote those bloody words to me? I didn't offend anyone, it was only because of Zhao Xiyue. There were several disputes with Lin Huhu about the matter." I saw that there were more and more people, and the opening ceremony was about to begin, so I went to the tile-roofed house and tried to close the windows.Actually, I could close the windows from inside the room, but I always feel safer closing them from the outside, since people are already at the back of the house anyway.Moreover, I saw a piece of paper falling under the wall, which may be a small part scraped off by the window when the thief grabbed the newspaper. I picked up the scraps of paper and saw that they were indeed scraped from the newspaper, and some blood was left on it.There is only so much paper, even if the police are willing to talk to me, they can't do anything with this little scrap of paper.I sighed, and was about to walk back to the playground to seat the students and parents, when I discovered something strange in the scarlet newspaper.
