"Teacher, I want to ask for leave."
In the office, the head teacher was busy correcting homework. When he heard Lin Feng's words, the teacher stopped writing and turned to look at Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, you have always been a sensible child," the teacher said slowly, with a soft tone, "As you know, the college entrance examination is coming soon. The school requires all our teachers and students to stabilize their mentality and carry out all work as usual. , to create a strong learning atmosphere before the college entrance examination. Therefore, in principle, students are not allowed to ask for leave."
After a pause for a few seconds, the teacher remained calm and continued with a slight smile: "However, you have always been a model representative of discipline and compliance in the class. Even last time you had a cold and a high fever, you persisted without saying a word. Why don't you say anything this time? Do you suddenly want to take a leave?"
Lin Feng originally planned to tell the truth about his experience in the past two days, but after thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate, so he just said: "I feel too much mental pressure recently, it is always difficult to concentrate, and I can't stop thinking about it. All kinds of messy pictures made me restless all day long. So, I wanted to take a few days off to quiet down and rest for a few days." Lin Feng didn't mention anything about ghosts, enchantments, spells, etc. .
"As a teacher, I understand very well what you said. After all, the daily learning pace is so tight and there is a lot of content, which will inevitably make people feel depressed. However, as a high school student, you should learn to gradually adapt to this high-pressure environment. After all, you are only in your first year of high school now, and you will have your second and third years of high school waiting for you. By then, the pressure you are facing will increase many times. In this case, you have to learn to take your time. Digest the pressure and turn it into motivation. If you want to get into a good university, these are the hurdles you must overcome."
Seeing that the teacher had made his point clear, Lin Feng said nothing more and just listened to the teacher quietly.
Finally, the teacher did not forget to add: "By the way, after discussion with the school leaders, our school has decided to give everyone a holiday on May 1st Labor Day. Moreover, Labor Day is coming soon, which is why I One of the reasons why I won’t approve your leave today.”
In the following period, Lin Feng did not see ghosts again, nor did he enter the barrier again, and his life seemed to become regular again. Lin Feng looked at his right hand, and the ghost curse on it had not moved at all recently. All this seems to indicate that the confusing experience that caused Lin Feng some time ago has come to an end, and Lin Feng's life is finally on the right track again.
Time passes by your fingertips like running water. Soon, it will be the May Day holiday.
On this day, the students were very excited because after a long period of high-pressure study life, they could finally go home for the holidays and relax. In the class, the students could not hide their excitement, which could be clearly felt outside the classroom. The entire teaching building no longer had the quietness and tension of the past, replaced by laughter and noise. In the classroom, students glance at the clock on the wall every few minutes to count the time after school. Everyone's thoughts have already flown to the sky at this moment. With the crisp end of get out of class bell, thousands of people poured out from various buildings in an instant. The scene was extremely spectacular.
The fiery red sunset covered half of the sky, illuminating the earth red. A ray of setting sun hung on the top of the mountain in the distance, using all its strength to emit its last light.
From a long way away, Lin Feng saw his father's vehicle. Facing the direction of the car, Lin Feng tried his best to walk forward in the crowded flow of people. Not far away, Lin Lin was seen running happily towards Lin Feng, her excitement beyond words. As soon as the two met, Lin Lin immediately threw herself into Lin Feng's arms. The longing that lasted for more than a month turned into this long-lost embrace. Lin Lin took the opportunity to take a small backpack from her brother's hand, and the two walked towards the car while talking and laughing.
In the car, Dad has been waiting for a long time. Lin Feng got into the car and threw his heavy luggage on the seat next to him. He suddenly felt much more relaxed. Dad started the car, and the three of them set off on their way home together amid laughter.
While traveling, Lin Feng shared some of his interesting experiences at school with his father and sister, and also told his father about his frequent entry into the barrier. I thought my father would act incredulous, but he turned out to be unexpectedly calm, as if he already knew everything, which surprised Lin Feng deeply.
Seeing this, my father smiled and said: "Everything you said, your uncle had already told me before you went on vacation. He had predicted all your experiences and told me all about it. "
"What?" Lin Feng's face was full of surprise, and he even doubted his ears.
"I have never told anyone these things, but you already know about it?" Lin Feng asked his father full of questions, eager to know the answer.
On the other hand, Dad was too complacent at this moment to keep his secrets secret and deliberately did not tell Lin Feng the truth immediately. Lin Feng's anxious look made Lin Lin burst into laughter.
Seeing that Lin Feng was impatient, his father finally said: "Don't worry, don't worry, we will be home soon. Your uncle is in our home now. By then, you will naturally know everything."
The way home was not too crowded, and Lin Feng and his party arrived at the door of their house in a blink of an eye.
Lin Feng had a backpack slung across his body, picked up another one casually, and walked upstairs. Outside the door, uncle was already standing there to greet Lin Feng.
Lin Feng greeted his uncle politely and watched his uncle take the package from his hand with a smile. In the living room, her mother had already cut several plates of fruit, and Lin Lin was also very sensible in helping her brother pack his luggage. The whole family was very happy because of Lin Feng's return.
After chatting for a while, the uncle took a sip of Longjing tea and then said: "As you know, since the outbreak of ghosts, I have been traveling to various places to fight against them. Especially some time ago, the ghosts seemed to be significantly stronger. , This is my personal intuitive feeling. Therefore, I came back this time out of concern for these two children. After all, these two children have had interactions with ghosts before, and we all know this."
"In addition, there is one more thing." The uncle put down the cup in his hand, raised his head and looked at Lin Feng, and asked slightly seriously, "Have anything unusual happened around you recently? Or, have you ever been disturbed by ghosts again? ?”
Seeing his uncle's serious look, Lin Feng recounted his experience with ghosts in detail. The uncle listened quietly, with a serious expression on his face.
When talking about the "mysterious man" he met in the barrier who once rescued him, the uncle seemed to have thought of something, frowned slightly, and nodded vaguely at the same time, as if his thoughts were confirmed.
"Well...Uncle, do you know the 'mysterious man' I just mentioned?" Lin Feng felt that his uncle seemed a little strange, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Now that we have reached this point, I will tell the truth."
The uncle cleared his throat and said, "If I guess correctly, the 'mysterious man' you are talking about is actually 'Feng Hao'. Like me, he has been fighting against ghosts all year round, but he never shows his face easily. As far as I know, the 'Ghost Controllers Alliance' has invited him countless times in the hope that he can join, but he has rejected them all. And the reason for the rejection seems very perfunctory, just saying that the alliance cannot give him what he wants. In addition, this person's whereabouts are elusive, and basically no one can know where he is. He only makes a few scattered appearances, and each time is extremely short. And he makes people feel very cold. Therefore, people in the industry vividly call him "Lone Ying". Although everyone does not know much about him, his strength is indeed recognized by the industry. Basically, his His combat power can be considered top-notch, and if he wants to, he can kill an undead with just a snap of his fingers."
Hearing this, Lin Feng instantly thought of the scenes he saw inside the barrier: the appearance of a Taoist priest in white, the Bagua formation that instantly kills ghosts, the cold posture of standing with a sword in hand and saying nothing...
"Then what did he tell you when he found you?" Uncle's next question pulled Lin Feng out of his memories.
"He didn't say anything, but I didn't understand why he saved me. After all, I didn't know him. Moreover, the timing of his attack was very coincidental. It happened to be the moment when I couldn't resist it. That time I never saw him again after that.”
Lin Feng glanced at his uncle and saw that he still had a serious expression and said nothing. This situation made Lin Feng feel uneasy. He vaguely felt that this experience must not be simple.
"By the way", Lin Feng suddenly remembered something, and immediately took out a folded piece of white paper from his jacket pocket, opened it slowly, and said to his uncle, "I don't know what this is. One night, one of my My roommate grabbed my hand as if he was sleepwalking and refused to let go. This talisman was later found on him."
The moment the white paper was completely opened, the spell came into his uncle's eyes completely.
"Spiritual Talisman?!"
