As the heat wave of late summer is gradually replaced by the freshness of autumn, the summer vacation most popular among students is also coming to an end. When Wen Liang received a call from Xu Yao, saying that they would meet at school tomorrow, he realized that this busy period had come to an end and he had to return to normal student life.
This year, the college entrance examination is approaching.
This year, the drums of war are beating loudly.
This year, we fought side by side.
This year will be forever engraved in the memories of many people and will not fade with the passage of time!
September 1st, it rained heavily.
Suitable for traveling.
Wen Liang shook his head, threw away the extremely unreliable old almanac he had found on the seat, got off the bus, opened his black umbrella, put one hand in his trouser pocket, and looked at the school gate with a little confusion. It was already half past seven, and the gate was not open yet. Hundreds of students gathered outside, and all kinds of umbrellas almost blocked the entire sky. From time to time, someone whispered something, and it seemed that he heard words like "dead" and "terrible". He was about to find an acquaintance to ask, when he heard Ren Yi shouting in surprise behind him: "Brother Wen, Brother Wen!"
A smile appeared on Wen Liang's face. He turned around and raised his right foot to the air, barely blocking Ren Yi's body. He didn't even open the umbrella, but opened his arms to give Wen Liang a French hug. However, he was rejected so rudely and cruelly. He immediately felt resentful, raised his orchid finger charmingly, and sang in the authentic Kunqu Opera style, saying: "Men have always been unfaithful, and have failed beautiful women!"
Wen Liang retracted his foot, and endured the guy's self-proclaimed beauty, and asked curiously: "Brother Ren, didn't you decide to change your ways, study hard, and strive to be the best? Why are you reading miscellaneous books again?"
"What is a miscellaneous book?" Ren Yi said with a grievance, "You ignorant person, is Hong Baicun's "The Palace of Eternal Life" a miscellaneous book?"
Wen Liang was even more surprised when he heard this, and said, "Don't bully me. Wasn't The Palace of Eternal Life written by Hong Sheng? It has nothing to do with this Baicun."
Ren Yi laughed and pointed at Wen Liang and said, "Brother Wen, Brother Wen, it's a pity that you have such a wise head... Hong Sheng, nicknamed Baicun, do you understand?"
Wen Liang made a big mistake, but he was not ashamed. Comparing knowledge with Ren Yi was humiliating himself. He had long forgotten about it and laughed, "So what? He got drunk and drowned. What a drunkard..."
Ren Yi was indignant. Among the four famous operas, he liked "The Palace of Eternal Life" the most, and he loved Hong Baicun, who never won an imperial examination. However, what Wen Liang said was also true. He rolled his eyes and said, "Did Qu Yuan drown? Did Li Bai drown? Did Wang Bo drown? Did Du Fu drown? Pah, Du Fu died from drinking too much, not falling into the water... Anyway, you see, all the arrogant people eventually died in the water!"
Wen Liang was surprised and asked, "Did Du Fu die from drinking? Didn't he die of illness in the boat?"
Ren Yi looked disgusted, pinched his nose and walked a few steps away from Wen Liang, saying: "Brother Wen, we haven't seen each other for only two months, how can you be as stupid as Zhihe? Haven't you read the New Book of Tang? When I was a guest in Leiyang, I visited Yue Temple, and a flood suddenly came. I had no food for ten days. The county magistrate prepared a boat to welcome me, and I was able to return. The magistrate gave me roasted beef and white wine, and I got drunk and died overnight."
Wen Liang's classical Chinese skills were not very good, but at least he had read the Complete Classical Chinese Literature countless times. This passage was simple and straightforward, and he understood it immediately. He said, "Damn, is it because you ate too much and drank too much?"
Ren Yi sighed and nodded, saying, "To put it simply, I haven't eaten for a long time. Someone gave me beef and white wine, but I ate too much and had indigestion. As a result, everything was gone."
"Okay," Wen Liang didn't want to say anything more. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What did you say just now? Zhihe is as stupid as a pig?"
"Be careful what you say, be careful what you say!" Ren Yi's expression was as if a rattlesnake had bitten his finger. He turned around in panic, but fortunately he didn't see the little godfather. He patted his chest with lingering fear and immediately changed the subject, saying, "What happened today? Why aren't you opening the door at this time? You came early. Did you hear any news?"
Wen Liang held up an umbrella and pulled Ren Yi, who was about to get soaked by the rain, under it. He looked at the increasing number of students and frowned, saying, "Something must have happened. We need to ask someone... Hey, Meng Ke, here!"
Meng Ke was standing in front of the school gate. When he heard the shout, he turned around and walked over quickly, chuckling, "Long time no see, you guys are here too."
"Yeah, I just arrived!" Wen Liang pointed to the door and said, "You came early. Do you know what happened?"
Meng Ke looked a little panicked and whispered, "It seems someone died in the guard room..."
Ren Yi was startled and asked, "Dead person?"
Meng Ke's face turned pale, and he said, "Yes, Master Huang from the gatehouse, he, he seemed to have drunk pesticides..."
Wen Liang didn't spend much time in school. He only knew that there were three people on duty at the gate. He didn't recognize Master Huang. He just felt surprised when he heard it, but he didn't have any emotional burden. Ren Yi was different. He was a member of the gossip party and a member of the hurdle party who would sneak out at night from time to time. He was so shocked that he almost jumped up and knocked his umbrella to one side. The rain rushed in instantly, hitting his face with a bit of autumn coolness.
"Old Yellow Dog? Pah! Pah! Pah!" Ren Yi raised his hand and slapped himself. The dead are the most important, so the old nickname could not be used. He said, "Master Huang? Is he the tall and big security guard with thick eyebrows?"
The so-called hurdlers are those students who sneak out to play after turning off the lights at night. The final line of defense they have to break through is the guard room and the sliding door. They need to jump over the half-person-high sliding door and then rush into the darkness in the distance to avoid the guards' sight. The most hated of the three guards is Master Huang. He is a retired soldier. He is over 50 years old and still has sharp ears and eyes, agile body, and endless investigative methods. He can catch the hurdlers and make three circles around the middle school.
After hearing what Ren Yi said, Wen Liang also had an impression. He looked through the gap in the crowd towards the guard room, his mind full of questions: Why did he die? Why did he die here? Why did he choose the first day of school after the summer vacation
Unfortunately, Meng Ke could not answer these questions. Ren Yi was so anxious that he could not sit still. He said, "I'll go and ask around. You guys talk first!"
"umbrella!"
Wen Liang tried to pull him but failed. Ren Yi didn't even turn around and said, "No need. There are so many umbrellas protecting us. We won't get wet." He bent down and squeezed under other people's umbrellas. Soon he could not be found.
"This guy..." Wen Liang smiled, looked at Meng Ke, and asked, "How was your summer vacation?"
"Not bad!" Since Wen Liang accompanied her to the old house, the two have not met again, but he has seen her most vulnerable side, and she is no longer hiding anything, so the whole feeling is more natural than before. Meng Ke shrugged and said, "Eating, sleeping, reading, watching TV, and doing homework, isn't this how everyone spends their summer vacation?" She paused, covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "You are different, you can't compare with us."
"They all have two eyes and one mouth, what's the difference? By the way, I haven't done my summer homework yet, I have to find someone to copy it when I go into the classroom..."
As they were chatting, they saw the school gate open and two police cars slowly drove out. The students exclaimed in surprise, which should have confirmed the rumors. After the police cars left, Hua Xi Que appeared in front of everyone, holding a loudspeaker and saying, "Attention everyone, enter the school now, go back to your classes, don't stay outside. After fifteen minutes, any student who is not in the classroom will have ten points deducted from their conduct score, and their class will be disqualified from the evaluation of excellence and honors."
Conduct scores were a killer weapon in high school. Before the voice fell, everyone rushed in. Soon, only one person was left at the door. Hua Xique saw Heishan standing still, and he was furious. He rushed to him in two steps, raised his megaphone and shouted, "Which class are you from?"
Holding the umbrella high, Wen Liang covered his ears which were about to be deafened by the noise and said with a wry smile, "Director Hua, it's me!"
Hua Xique was stunned, his expression changed drastically, he forced a smile and said enthusiastically: "Wen Liang, you just arrived, right? It's just right, the school gate has just opened, it's raining too hard right now, hurry in."
Wen Liang motioned him to go along, and asked as they walked, "Director Hua, what's going on with Master Huang?"
There was nothing to hide from Wen Liang, Hua Xique sighed and said, "It's the school's bad luck. It was originally unrelated to the matter, but now everyone is involved..." Seeing that Wen Liang was smiling but not enthusiastic, he stopped complaining and said, "It's like this. Huang Weiguo has a daughter who married in the neighboring city of Linze. Later, for some reason, her son-in-law was arrested and his daughter was driven crazy. He took a half-year vacation and has been helping to take care of her. I heard that he also went to the provincial government to petition. I don't know what happened recently. He actually ran to the school and drank pesticide... You said the school treated him well, so he can't vent his anger like this, right?"
In the end, he couldn't hold back the resentment in his heart. Wen Liang didn't comfort Hua Xique. He left this matter to Zhang Yihan to deal with. As the director of the political and educational department, do you have such a sense of honor to be with the school
Knowing the general reason, Wen Liang and Hua Xique separated and went to find the classroom of Class 36. No. 1 Middle School adopts the whole class push system. From the second year to the third year of high school, there is no longer a class division. The original class structure is retained, but it has changed from "two" to "three". For example, Wen Liang was originally in Class 6 of the second year of high school, and now he is in Class 36. The stars are still the stars, and the moon is still the moon. This can avoid the alienation and discomfort caused by the re-arrangement of classes to the greatest extent, allowing students to devote themselves to learning as quickly as possible.
Class 36 is located at the far right end of the first floor of the Bosi Building, with the toilet next to it, so it is also nicknamed the "Night Fragrance Class". In the summer, once the toilet is blocked, if Class 6 dares to open the window, the entire classroom will become a living hell. It is one of the least popular classes among students.
Uncle Wen, after his reincarnation, was honored to become a member of the Yexiang class! (To be continued)
