"Huh? Teaching building? Wow, Gu Xiaoyu, when did you become a nerd like the third child? It's scary." Zhou Lang clicked his tongue on the phone, "Let me tell you, after finishing that new After coming to Teacher Wen’s class, I was going crazy. What kind of metaphysics did that guy tell us, and he couldn’t understand a word. The most terrifying thing is that there are so many girls around him. Alas, it’s all because of a picture What a skin, if I had his looks, I would also go to the podium to talk about idealist psychology, and I would definitely scare the girls in our class!"
Wen Jiubai was standing next to me, apparently having heard the content of the phone call, the corners of his mouth kept rising.
"Okay, what are you talking nonsense about with me, you who have a girlfriend." I said helplessly to the other end of the phone, while glancing at Wen Jiubai, "I'm not doing anything, so I'll just hang up, you guys have fun. "
"Hey, wait, wait!" Just as I was about to hang up, Zhou Lang stopped me again, "We called you just to tell you that we won't be going back to the dormitory tonight. Staying out all night. Do you have your key belt with you?"
I was stunned when I heard this sentence, my smile froze on my face, I touched my pocket, and sure enough there was no key.
"You really didn't bring it!"
"It's okay, it's okay." I said quickly, "Don't worry about me, I can do it myself. Hurry up and play!"
"Really?" Zhou Lang asked suspiciously.
"Fake! I'm actually a gentle and weak little princess. I need you three big men to protect me 24 hours a day, or I will be abducted by a strange uncle who doesn't know where." I said He rolled his eyes greatly.
There was a burst of laughter from the other end of the phone, "Okay, we know! Then I don't care about you, bye!"
"Bye-Bye."
After hanging up the phone, I saw Wen Jiubai staring at me with that half-smile expression.
"What's the matter, do you have any opinions on me?" I said angrily.
"No, no." Wen Jiubai's eyes almost curved into a crescent, "I just think you are so cute like this."
"Cute is used to describe a girl." I rolled my eyes.
"That's why I'll describe you as a little princess." Wen Jiubai laughed even harder, until I stretched out my foot and stomped on him, and this guy restrained himself.
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business, you didn't bring the key, and your roommate won't go back. What are you going to do tonight?"
"Go to a hotel, or ask the housekeeper for it. Anyway, it has nothing to do with you." I rolled my eyes.
"Really?" Wen Jiubai rubbed his chin and said, "However, why do I always feel that this situation is very familiar, it seems to have happened somewhere before."
When I heard this, I immediately tensed up all over, praying that Wen Jiubai would not say what I thought.
"It seems that you were also unable to enter the dormitory before. At that time, it seemed that you ran to the old house and slept on my bed." Wen Jiubai narrowed his eyes and smiled like a fox.
"No! That was a special occasion!" I retorted with my mouth open.
"Really? What kind of special law?"
"It was Bai who insisted on going to the old house that time, and it has nothing to do with me!" I bite the bullet and defended, "I was tricked, it's not my fault!"
"Did the Bai who lied to you tell you that there is a side room in the old house with an empty bed in it?" Wen Jiubai said with a smile in his eyes.
I was dumbfounded and shook my head, "What? He didn't tell me."
"So, even if I show kindness and take you in for a night today, I won't have a place for you to sleep." Wen Jiubai laughed.
"But, but!" I still wanted to struggle with my self-esteem for the last time, "It's not that I can't solve the problem of sleeping, it's just that I forgot to bring a key, and it's impossible for the housekeeper to prevent me from entering. Besides, even if it is Don't let me in, I can-"
"Then there's nothing I can do." Wen Jiubai shrugged, interrupted me, and deliberately prolonged his voice, "Oh, but I have to go back to the old house. After all, there are still many stories about curses and evil spirits in the old house. I have to go back and investigate carefully. Otherwise, I can't think of a good way to solve this commission."
Damn it, Wen Jiubai's move was too damaging. It's as if if I don't go to the old house, I don't care about the commission and don't assist in the investigation. I glared at him viciously and said, "Okay, I got it! I'll just go to the old house with you!"
Wen Jiubai immediately showed a satisfied expression like a child, and pinched my cheek, "Well, isn't this the right way?"
The weather in Yancheng is a bit humid today, the traces of yesterday's rain have not yet dried up, the air is filled with moisture, and some roads are still muddy. Especially near the back mountain, one foot is deep and the other is shallow.
"Do you know what you look like?" I followed behind him and said indignantly.
"Huh?" There was still a smile in that guy's tone.
"It's like a pervert who abducts children." I said viciously.
"Raping boys is not illegal in our country." Wen Jiubai said with a smile still.
I was so blocked by him that I couldn't speak. I didn't expect this person to be so shameless.
"The remote room is here." Wen Jiubai led me to a somewhat remote room, no wonder I hadn't noticed it before, it was because this room was much smaller and inconspicuous compared to other rooms. But when you walk in, you can see that there are many tables and mattresses inside. It can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs. However, unlike the main rooms that Wen Jiubai often visited, there was nothing in this room that was modern except for the mattresses that had been laid. In this room, the electric light was not even turned on. Instead, it was replaced by a dusty candlestick. Wen Jiubai walked over, took a match, lit the candlestick after striking it, and the room was lit up.
"This room is the original room of this old house. It's small and remote. I don't use it very much, so I don't even have electricity. But you can just sleep here for one night and make do with it."
I looked around this small room. There was a bed, an old wooden table with faded paint, and a tall bookcase that could only be seen in period films. The thread-bound books are mainly.
Looking at such a room, I couldn't help being curious, "How old is this old house?"
Wen Jiubai chuckled, and replied, "It's much older than you think."
Wen Jiubai's words made me even more curious, "Was this house yours from the beginning? Or..."
Even if it is, it's nothing surprising, after all, even if Wen Jiubai told me that he is a hundred years old, I wouldn't be surprised.
