Chapter 5: [004] Back to school

Views: 23

After returning home, I slept and ate every day. My life was pretty leisurely. My master also came back. After he came back, I told him about my trip to help Yang Hongjun. Of course, I must be the protagonist in the story. I subdued the zombies and the white zombies. Taoist Qingfeng was just a small errand boy.

After the master finished talking to me with his hands dancing, he laughed and said, "You little bastard, I don't know you yet. It must be Brother Qingfeng who helped me. If it weren't for Brother Qingfeng, you would be in danger. And remember, don't take on such business in the future, otherwise you won't know how you died."

When I saw that my master had seen through me, I smiled and changed the subject, saying, "I see. Hey, Master, how was your visit this time? Why did it take you three days? Wasn't it only about a day before?"

It turned out that the man this time was also a wealthy man, and the reason for looking for a master was because the rich man's daughter was suffering from hysteria.

Since ancient times, Traditional Chinese Medicine has been divided into "Thirteen Branches", and among the Thirteen Branches, there are two branches that are somewhat interesting, namely the "Zhuyou Branch" and the "Forbidden Branch".

In ancient times, we divided human illnesses into two categories, internal and external. Of course, we now have internal medicine and surgery, but the external disease at that time was called external disease, which was a category that could not be cured by human power. This kind of "external disease" was also called "hysteria", which was caused by lonely ghosts or evil spirits. It could not be cured by medicine, and only people who knew how to exorcise ghosts and demons could solve it.

This man's daughter was possessed by a fox demon, and this fox demon was quite powerful. It took my master a lot of effort to get rid of it.

This family was very grateful to my master and originally prepared to give him a large sum of money, but my master refused it. He hoped that the family would be able to use their connections to get me into a better university. The family agreed and said that as long as my grades were not too bad, they would find a way to send me to a key university.

Hearing this, my young heart trembled again. The old master always thought of me wherever and whenever he was, and everything he did was for my good. I made up my mind then that I must repay the master for his kindness in raising me.

After that, my master and I continued to do the same as usual. We would occasionally take care of the underworld shop. If we encountered any problems, we would wear our underwear outside and go save the world.

Life was pretty comfortable, but it was soon time to go back to school, and I had to go back to the school I hated. It seems that young people nowadays all hate school. The school I attended was one of the best schools in our city, and it took an hour to get there and back from our county, so I chose to live in the school. Although I hated studying, I still worked hard to make my master happy, and my grades were among the top ten in the class. This was also what made my master happy.

As the saying goes, a mother worries about her child even when he is thousands of miles away. Although my master is not my parent, he is closer to me than my parents. So, on the first day of school, my master sent me to the station and told me not to fight with classmates, not to bully female classmates, etc. Although he was very long-winded, I still listened carefully. No matter how naughty I was outside, I would behave well in front of my master, just like a good child.

After saying goodbye to the driver, I got on the bumpy car, looked at the scenery outside the window, and slowly fell asleep. When I woke up, I had arrived at the station. The school was right next to the station. When I arrived at the school, I was a sophomore in high school. When I returned to school and saw many beautiful new school girls, I felt extremely relieved. At that time, I set the goal for this year to have a relationship that would last forever.

I'm not afraid of being laughed at when I say this, but at that time I was already a sophomore in high school and had had three relationships, but each one ended in misery.

My first girlfriend was from the class next to mine. We were in a stable relationship, holding hands occasionally, and it felt good. But then she and a buddy of mine had a bad relationship, and we would start swearing at each other whenever we met. She told me that it was better to choose her over her buddy. So I decisively broke up with her. I think I am a person who values loyalty.

Then the second one was someone who dated me when I had just come out of the shadow of the failure of my first love, but she broke up with me the next day. Later I found out that she dated me just to test whether my buddy liked her. Damn, but my buddy was indeed loyal. That girl later went to find him, and he slapped her twice and cursed her with one word: "bitch".

The third one was the one I started dating just as my freshman year of high school was about to end. Later, when it was my birthday, she didn’t come, and I got angry and ignored her. Actually, she should have been angry, because she broke up with me.

How should I put it? Anyway, my love life can be considered a complete failure. Among the three relationships mentioned above, the longest one lasted two months, and the shortest one lasted one day.

And every time we broke up, I would be sad. My buddy often told me not to be sad for a girl, and not to be serious when in a relationship, just play around. Now when I think back, this sentence really makes sense, but I didn't understand that truth at the time. As long as I was in a relationship, I would just be sincere.

Back to the topic, girls this year are wearing thinner clothes. I was looking around when I saw two other people on the playground looking around like me.

It was Wang Rui and one of our roommates, Zhang Xudong.

Wang Rui is the guy I mentioned earlier, and Zhang Xudong is the more introverted type.

I went over to say hello and went back to the dormitory. I had fallen asleep in the car just now and was still sleepy. I tidied up a little, lay down and fell asleep.

I was half asleep when I suddenly heard the voices of Wang Rui and Zhang Xudong. I knew something was wrong when I heard they were back. Sure enough, they came straight to my bed and started making trouble with me.

Of course, it was easy for me to beat them both by myself. It was a 1v2 draw, and the three of us were exhausted and out of breath. I wondered if they were crazy to make themselves so tired.

We were lying down and bored so we started talking about our summer vacation life. I didn't have anything to say, but I couldn't tell them that my brother went to fight zombies. They wouldn't believe me, or I would definitely tell them to show off. Wang Rui then talked about where his family went on a trip. Nothing new there.

At this time, Zhang Xudong said mysteriously: "Do you know that something big happened in the school during the summer vacation?"

"Oh, what's the matter? Another teacher's puppy is lost." Wang Rui and I have long been accustomed to it. Zhang Xudong would tell us mysteriously about trivial things in school.

"No, it's true. Don't you know that?" Wang Xudong became even more interested when he saw that we didn't know.

"Oh my god, tell me now."

"A few days ago, someone died in our school. She was Xu Jinglei from Class 5, Grade 3." Zhang Xudong said mysteriously.

"What? How did he die?" Wang Rui and I became interested when we heard this. "Was it a murder of passion, or suicide, or something else?"

"Neither. It seems that the people in their dormitory were playing apple peeling at midnight. According to the people in their dormitory, Xu Jinglei's apple peel broke, and she hanged herself the next day. She had no motive to commit suicide. Anyway, the rumors outside are pretty weird."

I frowned when I heard this, my master told me that these earthworks in the main room will attract ghosts. As the saying goes, ghosts will not offend humans if humans don't offend ghosts. This is actually the truth. Normally, humans and ghosts don't have much interaction, but the rumors about playing with the pen fairy, peeling apples at midnight, etc. will reduce the anger of the three lamps to the lowest level and attract evil spirits nearby.

"It's just a dead person. He peeled an apple before dying and then committed suicide. Is it that serious? Why make it so creepy?" Wang Rui said with disdain. I nodded. It might be a coincidence.

"No, that's not the point. The point is that everyone in their dormitory said that they dreamed about her every night. Xu Jinglei even asked her roommate to find someone to save him." Zhang Xudong became more and more excited as he spoke, as if it was the same experience he had experienced.

"Okay, don't think about it. It's just superstition. Maybe Xu Jinglei's death was too much of a blow to her roommate, so she had a nightmare and scared herself." I said, and Wang Rui nodded.

Zhang Xudong felt that what I said made sense, so he packed up and prepared to go out for a drink. It had been a long time since he had a drink with the two of them.

However, regarding Xu Jinglei's death, I don't think it's that simple. But it's none of my business, so I don't worry about it. Who cares? As long as it doesn't harm my friends, that's fine.

Afterwards, I went out for a drink with the two of them. Although my alcohol tolerance is not very good, compared with Wang Rui, he is really an awesome drinker.

I remember one time Wang Rui got drunk after drinking two glasses of wine, and then he said, "When I'm in good shape, two bottles of beer is no problem." Yes, his alcohol tolerance can only be measured by two bottles when he's in good shape.

Zhang Xudong was better, he could walk back with three bottles. But in the end I had to help them back alone, it was too bad, they were two young girls, I would help as many as they wanted, but they were two grown men, and Zhang Xudong and Wang Rui were drunk and kept yelling, "This is not scientific."

Well, they were drunk, that's the most scientific thing.
