Chapter 57: dream (3)

Views:

It was obvious that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, Lin Banxia didn't even have a clue. It was because of the silence that the atmosphere before him and Song Qingluo became more and more strange. The distance between the two was originally very close, almost as long as he raised his head, the tip of his nose would brush across Song Qingluo's cheek.

"That, that." Lin Banxia whispered.

Song Qingluo said, "What?"

Lin Banxia asked, "Are we too close?" After he said this, he was stared at by Song Qingluo's dark eyes. Although there was no expression, Lin Banxia was stared at him inexplicably. Xu, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally became inaudible, "Could you be a little further away?" This tone sounded unconvincing to him. It was Song Qingluo who was clearly aggressive, but it was probably because he was so powerful that he just gave Lin Banxia the illusion that he was the one who was at fault.

Song Qingluo didn't move, and there was no expression on her face. She said calmly, "Is it close? I think it's okay."

Lin Banxia rounded his eyes, looking shocked.

His appearance pleased Song Qingluo, he didn't embarrass the child anymore, took a step back, and said something softly, Lin Banxia didn't understand, but he always felt like he was being molested. He lowered his head and looked at the toes of his shoes, he didn't dare to look at Song Qingluo again: "I'll go back first."

"Go." Song Qingluo finally let him go.

Lin Banxia hurried forward, and when she ran to the stairs, she glanced in Song Qingluo's direction, and found that he was standing there staring at him. Luckily, he reached out his hand to support the wall next to him.

After trotting all the way down the stairs, and finally returning to the classroom, Lin Banxia sat down on the seat panting.

Li Su also came back at some point, and came over and joked, "Yo, with this little face flushed, which beautiful girl did you go out to meet?"

Lin Banxia said in horror, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Hey?" Li Su said, "I won't tell you right--" He suddenly became interested, with a gossip expression that was bound to reveal the truth from Lin Banxia.

In the end, Lin Banxia's tablemate couldn't stand it any longer, and said helplessly: "Li Su, you're almost done, don't make fun of Lin Banxia, it was Song Qingluo who called him out, what a beautiful girl."

Li Su: "Song Qingluo?? He called you out??"

Lin Banxia thought that Li Su would let him go, so he nodded, but who knew that Li Su, a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, was even more excited: "This is more exciting than a beautiful girl, how do you know him? What did he tell you?"

Lin Banxia collapsed: "He told me that Li Su would beat up Li Su if he harassed me again!" He was just joking, but Li Su shut up in the next second, muttering and scolding stingy. .

Lin Banxia was amazed at how Li Su was so obedient, when she heard a smile from the same table: "This Li Su was cleaned up by Song Qingluo before."

"Oh, that's it." Lin Banxia suddenly realized.

The same table said: "Don't you know these things?"

Lin Banxia said hesitantly, "I've never heard of it."

"Oh, that's probably because you love studying too much." After thinking about it at the same table, he could only come up with such a nonsense statement.

Lin Banxia said, "You all know these things? When did it happen?"

The same table said: "The first year of high school, of course we all know, not only the class, but the whole school should know—"

Lin Banxia snorted, but her eyes were puzzled. He was not impressed by what his classmate said. No, to be precise, he was not too impressed by what was happening around him. Even when he looked around, he felt that his classmates were a little strange, and several of them couldn't name them. The only one who was more impressed was Li Su, who kept talking to him.

It seemed that I had this feeling before, maybe because of what happened in the past few days, this feeling was highlighted.

After nine o'clock, the day students had already finished their evening self-study, and the students went out one after another, and most of the classroom was instantly empty.

Lin Banxia lowered her head and was reading, not paying too much attention to the situation around her. When she realized it, there were not many people in the classroom. He just wanted to go to the toilet a little bit, so he put down the book in his hand and stood up to solve his physical problems. When he walked into the corridor, he suddenly found that it was raining outside again.

The rain fell suddenly, and the moon was still hanging just now, but the whole world suddenly darkened. The lights in the corridor were dim, and Lin Banxia slowly walked to the toilet.

There were no lights in the toilet, most of the compartments were open, only one door was closed, and it was pitch black everywhere.

Lin Banxia solved the physical problem, and was washing her hands with her head down when she heard someone shout, "Is there anyone?"

Lin Banxia thought which classmate it was, and said, "What's wrong?"

The man said, "Can you come and help me?"

Lin Banxia's first reaction was that this man didn't bring any paper, so he touched his pocket and said, "I didn't bring any paper either, can I get some for you?"

"No, it's not that I didn't bring the paper." The man said, "I can't get down. Help me get down."

Lin Banxia was inexplicable: "I can't get down. Where did you go? Why can't you get down?"

The man said: "Come and help me, I really can't get down."

Lin Banxia didn't know what this person meant at all, so she walked to the door of the compartment and patted the door: "Are you inside? What's the matter? Do you open the door?"

The man didn't answer and kept repeating you help me. His tone became more and more frantic from the beginning of pleading, and finally became hoarse and sounded very terrifying. Lin Banxia felt that something was amiss, thinking about whether something had happened to this man, so he squatted down, wanting to look through the gap to see what was going on inside, but who knew that after squatting down, he suddenly fell into silence, although the light was very bright It was dark, but he still clearly saw that the compartment was empty - no one was squatting in it at all.

However, the harsh voice continued to scream for help, and even accompanied by a shrill cry, Lin Banxia took a few steps back hesitantly. He glanced at the compartment and decided to go out to ask for help.

It was already too late here, the teachers had all left the school, and there were only a few students left in the classroom. Lin Banxia swept around and saw Li Su who was squatting in the corner and didn't know what he was doing, and shouted. : "Li Su."

Li Su raised his head and looked at Lin Banxia: "What's wrong?"

Lin Banxia said, "Come out."

Li Su said, "What's the matter." He jumped out of his chair and walked in front of Lin Banxia, "It's really strange that you are willing to call me."

Lin Banxia said: "Don't talk about it, I really have something to call you."

Li Su said, "What's wrong?"

"It seems that someone is calling for help in the toilet." Lin Banxia said, "Can your cell phone be illuminated? Come and see it with me?"

Li Su said, "Please help? You can still ask for help when you go to the toilet. Could it be that you fell into a ditch."

Lin Banxia really disagreed with his out-of-time humor, but after all he wanted something, so he didn't feel embarrassed to talk to him, but showed a helpless expression: "Can your mobile phone light up? The light in the toilet is broken, Can't see anything."

"Yes." Li Su smiled.

The two walked to the door of the toilet. The screaming had stopped, and the small toilet was shrouded in silence and darkness. Li Su's footsteps stopped at the door and hesitantly called out, "Is there anyone?"

No one answered.

"No one seems to be there." Li Su turned to look at Lin Banxia.

Lin Banxia said, "Why are you looking at me? Go in?"

Li Su calmly said, "Why go in? Isn't there anyone inside?"

Lin Banxia pointed to the closed compartment in the corner, and said, "People are inside." Seeing that Li Su was still reluctant to take a step, he asked suspiciously, "Aren't you afraid?"

Li Su choked for a moment and said loudly, "Afraid? What are you afraid of? I, Li Su, in this world, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

Lin Banxia: "Then go in?"

Li Su: "..." He said that he was not afraid, but he slowly moved into the toilet at the speed of a turtle, and the reluctance on his face could hardly be concealed.

Lin Banxia asked him to turn on the lighting function of the mobile phone. He dawdled for a long time before it came out. In the end, Lin Banxia couldn't see it anymore and said, "Give me your mobile phone and I'll take a look. If you If you're afraid, just go to the door and wait."

Unexpectedly, when Li Su heard this, he immediately became angry and said, "Lin Banxia, don't look down on people, I am Li Su! Don't you know who they are? I'm afraid! He put his head in the toilet and flushed the water for another ten minutes!" He held up his mobile phone, squatted down and looked into the compartment, he looked at it for a while, and said doubtfully, "There seems to be no one inside, are you really sure it's inside? there's noise?"

Lin Banxia said, "Of course."

Li Su rolled his eyes: "I'll open the door."

Lin Banxia was about to ask him how to open the door when he saw Li Su raised his foot and kicked down the thin compartment door. He looked like a girl, but he acted like a grumpy old man. Before Lin Banxia could react, he directly kicked the door and deformed it. What left Lin Banxia speechless the most was that While kicking, he also told Lin Banxia, "If the teacher asks, don't say that I kicked—"

Lin Banxia: "..." You really plan ahead.

Li Su didn't have any strength at all, and when he stepped down, the door creaked softly, and he was about to fall to the ground. Li Su took it for granted that there was no one in the toilet cubicle. He was about to say that Lin Banxia was thinking too much, but after seeing the picture behind the door panel, the whole person froze in place.

Indeed, as Lin Banxia said, there was someone behind the door. It's just not a living person - the man's neck was hung by a rope from the water pipe above, his tongue was sticking out, his expression was extremely ferocious, and he was still wearing the school uniform of the students, so he was clearly their classmate.

Li Su instantly understood why he couldn't see this person's feet just now... His feet were tens of centimeters off the ground, how could they possibly see them when they squatted down. This extremely terrifying scene made Li Su take a few steps back uncontrollably. He didn't stop until his back leaned against the wall. His face was no longer human, and even his voice was hoarse: "Lying on the wall. Crap, fuck, how could this-"

Lin Banxia stood in front of him and remembered the words he heard just now, "I can't get down, you help me get down." - At this moment, he understood the meaning of these words, and he was a little horrified.

Li Su kept swearing swear words from behind, as if he wanted to use swear words to drive away his inner anxiety. He pulled Lin Banxia, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Lin Banxia, why are you still standing stupidly? Go out and call the police..."

Lin Banxia suddenly realized: "Yes!"

Li Su was going crazy, he felt that he was very courageous, but when he really saw the dead, he was still upside down with hair on his body, but this thin and small, like a small animal, Lin Banxia was actually covered from beginning to end. There was no response, and he didn't even say a word. If it wasn't for his expression not changing at all, Li Su even wondered if he was frightened.

When he came out of the toilet, Li Su hurriedly called 110. His legs were a little weak, and he squatted at the door and didn't dare to go in again.

Lin Banxia was standing next to him, and Li Su glanced at him, only to realize that the man was in a daze.

"What do you think?" Li Su asked helplessly.

"I wonder how he got up." Lin Banxia said, "We didn't see the stool under his feet just now, did we?"

Li Su was stunned. Indeed, the ground was empty, and there was nothing that could be stepped on by his feet.

"So how did he get up there?" Lin Banxia asked curiously.

Li Su: "You are still in the mood to think about this, I admire it."

Lin Banxia: "Then what should you think about?"

Li Su: "..." He was unable to answer Lin Banxia's question.

When the police heard there was a murder case, they came very quickly, and their class teacher came along with them. When the head teacher saw Li Su, he reprimanded him all the time, blaming him for not going back so late. In the end, when something like this happened, didn't he have nothing to do? Looking at Lin Banxia, who was obediently standing beside her with an innocent face, her voice was ten thousand times softer. She asked if Lin Banxia was frightened, and she comforted her for a while.

After coming out of the office, Li Su was full of resentment, and said, "This person is really, he can't see clearly when he is old, can't anyone see it when he is scared?"

Lin Banxia glanced at him: "Didn't you say you're not afraid?"

Li Su: "..." He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "I mean, he should comfort you for a while, lest you leave a shadow in your heart and affect your grades!!"

Looking at his arrogant appearance, Lin Banxia felt that he was not so annoying anymore, and couldn't help showing a smile.

Li Su said angrily, "You are still laughing, you are still laughing—"

Lin Banxia smiled even brighter.

After all this tossing, it was already very dark. Li Su packed up his schoolbag and planned to go home. Lin Banxia wanted to tell him to pay attention to safety, but saw that the foreign student who had been with Li Su before appeared at an unknown time. When he came to the door, he was very tall and leaned against the door, looking like an adult.

Lin Banxia reminded Li Su: "Your friend is here."

Li Su glanced at the man and said disdainfully, "He is not my friend."

Lin Banxia said, "Ah? Then why do you often play together?"

Li Su gritted his teeth and said, "Playing together is good friends, so the two of us are also good friends?"

Lin Banxia was speechless.

"Forget it, it's okay to tell you." Li Su didn't seem to be in a good mood, he said, "Li Ye was brought back by my father from abroad—my stepmother's son, that is, me, half-brother. Brother." When he said the word brother, he almost spat it out through gritted teeth, and he didn't know what happened with Li Ye that made him so resentful.

However, this is someone else's family matter, and Lin Banxia is not easy to ask. After Li Su finished speaking, he waved to him and went out with his schoolbag. Li Ye followed behind him, and the two left one after the other.

Lin Banxia also packed up her schoolbag and went back to the dormitory. It was a little late when he went back. Lin Banxia went to bed after washing up in a hurry.

The next morning, news of someone dying in the men's room spread throughout the school. There are all kinds of bizarre theories. The common saying is that there is too much pressure to study, and some people say that he was severely hit by being rejected by the girl he likes. Of course, there are also some gossip that he is cursed.

Because of this, the whole classroom was noisy all morning. As the person who discovered the first scene, Lin Banxia also attracted the attention of the whole class. They did not dare to harass Li Su, so they came to Lin Banxia to ask. After asking this question, Lin Banxia couldn't take it anymore. Taking advantage of the lunch hour, she ran out of the classroom to catch her breath.

Lin Banxia's living expenses are very small, and he usually eats the cheapest kind of meal in school. He can make three dishes for two yuan. Although they are all vegetarian, they are enough to eat with one yuan of rice. Lin Banxia was about to go to the window and knock it over as before, but the person behind him suddenly grabbed his collar. He was slightly taken aback, then turned around and saw Song Qingluo.

Song Qingluo looked down at him and said, "Where are you going?"

Lin Banxia gestured at the meal card in her hand: "Have lunch..."

Song Qingluo said, "What are you going to eat?"

Lin Banxia pointed to the window she was going to.

Song Qingluo glanced at it and pursed her lips slightly. I wonder if Lin Banxia was thinking too much. He always felt that Song Qingluo didn't seem too happy.

"Come here." Song Qingluo pulled Lin Banxia back.

Lin Banxia couldn't resist his strength at all. He found that although Song Qingluo looked quite slender, his strength was huge. Pulling him was like pulling a plastic bag. All the other classmates came to see it, afraid that his struggle would attract more attention, so he had to be carried by Song Qingluo to the teaching building.

In the end, Song Qingluo carried Lin Banxia into an office, threw Lin Banxia on the chair, sat down, and went out. When she went out, she didn't forget to lock the door from the outside.

Lin Banxia suddenly panicked, thinking that she was being locked up, what was Song Qingluo doing

In an uneasy mood, Lin Banxia saw Song Qingluo come back, and what Song Qingluo brought back was a heat preservation bucket that he carried in his hand.

Song Qingluo threw the heat preservation bucket in front of Lin Banxia and spit out a word: "Eat."

Lin Banxia was dumbfounded: "Eat, what to eat?"

Song Qingluo stood in front of Lin Banxia, her tone sounded a little helpless: "What else can I eat?" Before Lin Banxia could react, she stretched out her hand and pinched him in the face, and was then dissatisfied. tsk.

Lin Banxia immediately felt that she was disliked, and whispered, "Is this your lunch? What did I eat for you?"

Song Qingluo said, "Let's eat together."

As he said that, he opened the thermal insulation bucket, revealing the rich dishes inside. Lin Banxia just glanced at it and swallowed quietly, but immediately realized that this was a bad behavior and wanted to refuse. But as soon as the words of refusal reached his mouth, he saw Song Qingluo pick up a large piece of sausage and stuff it to his lips. Before he could refuse, his tongue already tasted the sausage.

Fragrant, soft, the unique umami and sweetness of sausage spread quickly on the tip of the tongue, Lin Banxia's whole body suddenly softened, and her eyes were round, as if she was frightened by this delicious taste she had never tasted before. It seems.

Seeing his expression, Song Qingluo frowned, "Don't you like it?"

Lin Banxia: "I like..."

Song Qingluo: "Eat, you have to eat well." He paused and added, "It's too small."

Lin Banxia wanted to say that she was quite big, but after looking at Song Qingluo's height and then looking at herself, she immediately shrank.

After taking the first bite, the rest became natural. A bucket full of meals seemed to be similar for two people.

Lin Banxia seldom eats such delicate food. It was good that he was full when he was young. After entering junior high school, he spent most of his time in the cafeteria. It stands to reason that it should be the first time that he has eaten such delicious food, but for some reason, the taste of this food makes him feel a little familiar, so that his eyes are inexplicably wet when he eats it.

Song Qingluo ate less, and when he was halfway through, he put chopsticks beside him and stared at Lin Banxia.

Lin Banxia was still working hard, unaware that there was something wrong with the eyes of the person in front of her.

"You usually only eat in the cafeteria?" Song Qingluo asked.

"Yeah." Lin Banxia said, "The cafeteria is pretty good, cheap and clean."

Song Qingluo thought for a while: "How much do you spend a month?"

The word money is probably the catastrophe of Lin Banxia's life. Hearing this word, he felt a little flustered. After a rough calculation, he said vaguely: "Just... More than one hundred." Three yuan for rice, fifty cents for steamed buns at night, or one yuan for noodles would cost four or five yuan a day, and it would not exceed 150 yuan a month.

In this way, the scholarship is basically enough for living expenses, but the tuition fee has to work hard during the summer or winter vacation, and go to other small shops to help out. In short, although life is difficult, it can still survive.

Song Qingluo's expression was not very good-looking, and Lin Banxia didn't understand what his expression meant, so he carefully put down his chopsticks and whispered, "Why are you being so kind to me?"

Song Qingluo said, "Guess what?"

How could Lin Banxia guess that he was just an ordinary student. He was a stranger to Song Qingluo a few days ago. He was suddenly so kind to himself, he was naturally a little uncomfortable, and even began to wonder if Song Qingluo had What ulterior motive... But he's just a poor student, what can he use.

Lin Banxia said honestly, "I can't guess."

"It's fine if you can't guess." Song Qingluo said, "You can take it as my whim."

Lin Banxia: "..."

Song Qingluo said, "Keep eating, don't waste it."

Lin Banxia nodded, he absolutely refused to waste food, so he continued to eat hard, and he was very happy. When he was eating, Song Qingluo asked about what happened last night. Lin Banxia told Song Qingluo everything one by one. Song Qingluo was silent for a while after listening, and asked, "Lin Banxia Xia, do you dream?"

Lin Banxia said, "Of course I will."

Song Qingluo said, "Then do you believe that there will be people you don't know in your dreams?"

The author has something to say:

Li Su: Lin Banxia, you are so strange! !

Lin Banxia: What's strange

Li Su: You are not afraid of ghosts but Song Qingluo?

Song Qingluo: Yes, ghosts don't want to fall for him.

Lin Banxia: ?

Li Su: ? ? ?
