Teacher Yan?
Cen Yu carefully recalled the plot of the novel and found that Teacher Yan did not appear on the scene much and was basically just a backdrop.
And he was basically not involved in this series of terrorist incidents in the later period.
He carefully observed the reactions of several other people when they heard about Teacher Yan. Jiang Tuan looked surprised, as if he didn't expect Teacher Yan to come to this class reunion, while He Yongning looked down at his phone and happened to avoid it. Cen Yu's observation.
As for Pei Hengyun, he always looked smiling.
Soon Yu Sheng got news from other people. It seemed that there was no objection to the extra person there. Some people even thought it would be more lively with more people. Plus they were Pei Hengyun's friends, so everyone was willing to accept them. .
Hearing this, Cen Yu looked at Pei Hengyun beside him, "Were you very popular when you were in school?"
Why did everyone else welcome him when they heard he was Pei Hengyun's friend?
This group of people also felt that since he was Pei Hengyun's friend, his personality should be similar to Pei Hengyun's.
He thought of Pei Hengyun's painting at home, "It seems you had a good time in high school."
"When I was in high school..." Jiang Tuan was about to say that Pei Hengyun was his back desk. At that time, they would go to the school playground to play basketball together.
The infrastructure of rural middle schools like theirs is relatively average and there are no indoor professional basketball courts.
A few people were having fun on the concrete floor.
He remembered that he often called Pei Hengyun and He Yongning to play basketball together...but he paused for a moment when he said it.
He glanced at Pei Hengyun, who was still wearing a shirt and suit pants even in summer, and couldn't help but think about a question in his head.
Was Pei Hengyun like this before?
Why did he remember that Pei Hengyun used to be a physical education class representative, and he liked to play ball with him and He Yongning after class, but looking at the opponent's posture, he probably didn't know how to take three steps for a layup.
"What did you do in high school?" Cen Yu suddenly became interested when Jiang Tuan suddenly mentioned their high school days.
Jiang Tuan had many thoughts running through his head at this time. He looked at He Yongning as if he was looking for confirmation, "We used to play basketball together, right?"
"Three on three, the three of us often team up together."
He Yongning recalled for a moment, then he looked at Pei Hengyun and Jiang Tuan, who looked a little puzzled, "Yes."
"At that time, Yu Sheng was reading in the classroom, and we would go out to play basketball."
He did have some memories of the high school days that Jiang Tuan mentioned.
At that time, he and Pei Hengyun were at the same table, and Jiang Tuan was lively and active, so the three of them would play basketball together every time.
but……
He Yongning looked at Pei Hengyun with some scrutiny.
He always felt that Pei Hengyun didn't have this character in his memory?
Even if everyone’s personality will change after graduation and being tempered by society, will it change so much?
Yu Sheng didn't feel the sudden silence of the two people. He introduced to Cen Yu, "The current environment is much better than before, and the basketball court is more professional than before..." He looked at He Yongning, "Yongning Gang It’s been a lot of work.”
He Yongning still looked indifferent and seemed to be of little help.
However, after Yu Sheng said this, Cen Yu understood that this was He Yongning who donated money to the school to improve the basic environment of the school after graduating and having a successful career.
"Did Mr. He return to his hometown later?" Cen Yu was curious.
He looked at He Yongning's unfamiliar look, and he hadn't been back to his hometown for at least ten years.
"I'm usually busy and I don't take care of it," He Yongning said.
But maybe only he knows that every time he thinks of this hometown and the high school where he graduated, the thought that fills his head most is not nostalgia, but rejection.
It was as if something had happened that was extremely difficult for him to accept.
But no matter how he recalled it, he felt that his high school life was difficult but peaceful. He even got into the ideal university in the end, and there was nothing to regret.
Yu Sheng glanced at his phone, "If we want to chat, let's go to a place to eat."
"I booked a farmhouse. They serve local dishes. I don't know if you are used to it."
…
Cen Yu followed Pei Hengyun. Since the farmhouse was not far from Jiang Tuan's home, they decided to walk there.
Cen Yu looked around curiously. He remembered that it was said in the novel that Pei Hengyun's home was submerged by a mudslide, so he could only temporarily live in Jiang Tuan's home... He looked around for a long time, but he couldn't find the suspected Pei Hengyun's home. .
Until he couldn't help but ask Pei Hengyun, "Where is your home?"
Jiang Tuan seemed to have heard Cen Yu's question. He walked in front of the two of them. After hearing this, he said to Pei Hengyun as if he remembered something, "I called you but didn't get through..."
"Although it has been cleaned up now, there is no way to live in it. Why don't you go take a look today?"
When Pei Hengyun heard Jiang Tuan say that the call was not connected, he smiled sheepishly, "I was busy at the time and didn't bother to contact you."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Cen Yu, "Do you want to take a look?"
"But the house is almost completely destroyed and there is no way for people to live in it."
When Pei Hengyun spoke, he always had a slight smile on his face. He didn't speak fast, which always gave people the impression of being unhurried and unhurried.
But inexplicably, although Pei Hengyun's tone of voice remained unchanged, he felt that the other party was unwilling to go to the abandoned old house from the bottom of his heart.
...No, it’s not so much that he is unwilling, but rather that he gave the choice to Cen Yu.
It was as if there were some secrets hidden in this old house that was destroyed by mudslides.
Cen Yu remembered again that this was a horror novel.
In any horror novel, the appearance of a "ghost" always triggers some flag... Pei Hengyun survived to the end. Apart from being the protagonist, is it possible that a deeper secret is related to this old house?
Cen Yu thought about it in his heart for a long time.
Then facing Pei Hengyun's gaze, he nodded, "I want to go."
Pei Hengyun's eyes were heavy, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, "Okay, I'll take you to see it in a few days."
"Let me lead the way." Jiang Tuan added, "The road there is also destroyed and it's not easy to walk."
Jiang Tuan said, and asked He Yongning, who was walking in front of the group and just behind the squad leader, as if out of curiosity, "Yongning, where are you? Why don't you go back to your old house in the next few days?"
He Yongning's old house was abandoned because it had been unoccupied for a long time, but it did not collapse.
It's just that the door is full of weeds, and the rooms inside have become a paradise for various small animals. The spider webs are probably big enough to tie up Tang Monk, so He Yongning didn't want to live there in the first place.
But after hearing Jiang Tuan's inquiry, he didn't know whether it was because he really missed everything about his hometown or for some other reason.
He Yongning remembered that there was a creek behind his house. In the summer, he and his high school classmates liked to play behind it... So he turned to Jiang Tuan and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look too."
