The next day, I still got up early.
As usual, I bought some steamed buns and put a few in the store for Lao Cao. Then I took a few steamed buns and ate them while walking...
When I walked to the crossroads in front of the Lianghe Bridge, I met Wang Dachun, Zeng Jin and others waiting there as usual.
They waved at me from a distance, yelled, and the sun shone on them, making them full of energy.
"Boss! Here, here."
People on both sides of the street responded with kind smiles. Looking at this group of middle school boys, they all find it interesting.
This scene was in sharp contrast to last night on the cold and dark river.
I couldn't help but smile.
"It's good to have such a simple and beautiful campus life to change things up. Otherwise, if you are exposed to those dark and weird things every day, you will become gloomy at a young age."
So I started jogging, reached Wang Dachun, and patted him on the shoulder. Smiling and said: "Let's go to school together."
This idiot was stunned for a moment, then stared at me and yelled exaggeratedly.
"Isn't it Angkor? Boss? Why are you suddenly so nice to me today? Could it be that you have a fever?"
As he spoke, he reached out to touch my forehead.
I:……
Oh shit!
Isn't he used to talking nicely to this guy?
So I directly raised my leg and gently kicked this guy's butt, and said impatiently: "Then get out of here and walk faster."
"okay!"
Wang Dachun became happy and followed me.
I pointed at him, feeling angry and funny.
Arrived at school.
Before I started reading English aloud in my morning self-study, Yao Nan asked me: "Are you sure about tomorrow's monthly exam?"
"What confidence?"
"At least I'm sure of being in the top three in the class."
I rolled my eyes and said helplessly: "I must be the first in my grade!"
Yao Nan's expression suddenly became speechless.
"You are too narcissistic!"
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and spread my hands: "Sister, do you think I'm showing off? I feel miserable. If I don't take the first grade in the exam, I will be finished, you know. Do you think I want to?"
Yao Nan was stunned.
I guess I don’t understand why I’m finished if I don’t take the first grade.
After a while, he pursed his lips: "Then your parents are too strict, right? Why are you so serious in class? You don't even eat dinner after school in the afternoon and just review there. Also, I'm better than You are still a month younger, what kind of big sister are you?"
I immediately smiled and said: "Oh, I understand. Then call you little sister?"
"You are so small!"
Yao Nan waved his fist at me, grinning like a ferocious little tiger.
For many people, going to school can be a painful experience. For example, Wang Dachun, this guy still studied very poorly even under my request...
But for me, studying in a simple and bright environment like school is already very relaxing and enjoyable.
The day passed quickly.
After I returned to the coffin shop after school tonight, I didn't do anything but continued to review my lessons. After all, the monthly exam is tomorrow!
The exam will be finished tomorrow on Tuesday, and the teacher will mark the papers on Wednesday. The results will be available on Thursday. After Friday, it will be the National Day holiday.
Before I knew it, I had been in junior high school for a month.
"Xiao Wu, take the exam well. Don't let Fairy Qin down."
Lao Cao is almost semi-illiterate - he is limited to literacy and has not learned much about other subjects. At this moment, he put his hands behind his back and educated me with a serious look.
"I know, I know."
I pursed my lips impatiently and continued to review mathematics while biting the penholder.
Among many subjects, I am the worst at math.
…
The next day, I had exams all day long, and there wasn’t much to talk about.
After the exam, there was no need to study in the evening, so everyone packed their schoolbags and went home directly from school.
Wang Dachun was picked up directly by his parents at the school gate, so he didn't bother me to come with him.
I'm not a person who likes to get entangled.
Now that the exam is over, there is no need to worry anymore.
I began to think about whether I should find Li Miao tonight and ask him to help me try to find Zhou Min's body?
"Wu Zhong! Wait for me."
A clear and sweet voice sounded from behind.
Look back.
I found Yao Nan running towards me carrying a cute pink schoolbag.
She panted slightly as she ran and stopped in front of me: "Let's go together?"
I nodded: "Okay."
Yao Nan: "It's just right. You can check a pair of answers while walking. Come on, let's check the multiple-choice questions first."
I:"……"
Originally, I didn’t want to think about the monthly exam anymore, but now I was caught with the correct answer!
It's so annoying.
Girls are so annoying.
Well, except for my mother and my master.
"Forget it, Yao Nan is usually a pretty good person. Just give me the right answer."
I thought to myself silently and could only confront her.
I got the answers right all the way. When I returned to the coffin shop, my mind was filled with all kinds of mathematical formulas, physical symbols, chemical reactions...
Very dizzy.
Lao Cao is still making his huanghuali wood coffin. The nobles in the city are very demanding, and of course they pay a lot of money. In Lao Cao's words, this order can at least equal two years of normal income.
When he saw me coming back, he raised his head and asked with a smile: "Did you finish the exam? How do you feel?"
"I don't know. Anyway, let's wait until the results come out. If you extend your head with a knife, you can also shrink your head with a knife."
Lao Cao handed me a bowl of water and said, "Don't worry too much. Even if you don't get the first grade in the exam, it's impossible for the fairy to really expel you from the school."
Okay, now that I say that I get even more nervous.
I waved my hand: "Hey, don't mention the exam. I have to go to the river tonight. I want to find Li Miao and try to fish out Zhou Min's body."
"Then do you need me to come along and help?"
"No need. As I said before, this matter is an insidious agreement between me and Zhou Min. As long as I can handle the situation, there is no need to involve you. The contamination was originally the cause and effect of me alone."
I once again rejected Lao Cao's kindness.
You can't rely on others for everything, right?
As for Li Miao... he is a corpse collector, and corpse harvesting is his old profession. I went to invite him today as a customer and wanted to pay him.
So there are not so many scruples.
Just like Li Miao came to see Lao Cao before about the child corpse Xiao Sheng. It is also equivalent to a shady business. If you can't do it yourself, find a colleague to make money together.
The situation is completely different from my [yin contract].
Lao Cao said: "It's not cheap for Li Miao to fish out a corpse."
I smiled and replied: "Don't worry. I wanted to give the money I paid to carry Boss Duan's coffin to my parents, but they didn't ask for it. I just kept saving it. It's always enough, right? And although I didn't solve the problem last night, Regarding the living corpse Xiao Sheng, Xiao Mao also paid for his hard work."
"That's good."
"Okay, then Lao Cao, you are busy first. I'm going to find Li Miao."
"Go, Jiang Shang, please be safe. Although Zhou Min found you this time and asked for your help, he will definitely be very cooperative. But I'm afraid things are not that simple behind the scenes. Once there is danger, run away quickly, safety is the most important thing."
Lao Cao warned me in a somewhat long-winded way, fearing that I was young and full of energy, and would be brave enough to fight and not know how to give in when encountering problems.
I turned around and talked as I walked out.
"Then, old Cao, please be at ease! My life is precious. When I encounter danger, I grease my soles and run faster than an Olympic champion. I'm slippery!"
