On the last day of school before the holiday, school will usually end early at 3 p.m.
So when the time came and the bell rang, the whole school echoed with the cheers of the students.
The seven-day National Day holiday has begun.
"Oh yeah! It's a holiday, it's so cool."
Wang Dachun directly raised his feet and stepped on the chair. It looked like he wanted to go one step further - jump on the desk and twist his butt.
But under my angry glare, he gave up.
He got down from the chair obediently, scratched his head in embarrassment, smiled at me flatteringly and said, "Oh Brother Ang, it's time for a holiday. I'm happy. If you don't like me making trouble, I won't make any trouble." Well."
Zeng Jin next to me was also secretly amused. He probably had never seen Wang Dachun so timid and afraid of someone before he met me.
"Wang Dachun, you just deserve a beating. Even though the National Day holiday is here, I'm quite happy. I'm going to the city, to the zoo and the amusement park. Wu Zhong, where do you want to go on National Day?"
Yao Nan asked me, blinking his big bright eyes.
I shrugged: "Where else can a rural kid like me go? Of course I can stay at home and help my parents with some farm work."
When Yao Nan heard my answer, he seemed to feel that his question was a bit presumptuous, and his expression was a little embarrassed: "I, I didn't mean it..."
I smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm not the kind of person who is sensitive or has low self-esteem. City people live like city people, and country people also live like country people."
Wang Dachun hurriedly said loudly next to him: "Although Angkor was born in the countryside, he will definitely be more promising than us in the future. He is the first in the grade! He will definitely be admitted to a key high school, a prestigious university, and eventually become a rich man."
"Yeah, that's right. Wang Dachun finally said something humane."
Yao Nan also showed a sweet smile, patted my shoulder gently, and stuck out his tongue at me. Looks very cute.
After school, the students left school one after another.
I carried my schoolbag back to the coffin shop.
Lao Cao is still continuing to make his huanghuali wood coffin - it has been prepared for a long time. I have a feeling that when this coffin is actually used, it will be a big job.
"Old Cao, did you get the copy of the "Fubei County Chronicle" you asked for from Boss Duan?"
He stopped what he was doing and answered.
"Boss Duan is quite particular. After I asked about this, he asked the driver to drive on the spot and took him and me to the county town. I called a deputy section chief of the archives and said he wanted to make a copy. County Chronicle. As a result, people said that it had been sent to the city a few days ago."
"Sent to the city?"
I was stunned.
I didn't expect that even this kind of thing could suddenly change. After all, archives like county records usually don’t change for a long time.
Lao Cao continued to explain.
"It is said that the city has recently planned to organize the county annals of each county and compile the original documents to the city's general archives. Wasn't our city under direct jurisdiction in the past two years? The level is the same as that of the province. So a lot of things need to be done. Rectification and unified and standardized management.”
"Your classmate was able to see it before, probably because someone from the archives brought it out to do some necessary sorting."
"It takes nearly a day's drive from Fubei County to the city. Today I can't make it. Boss Duan said that he would find a way to find someone to find connections, and he would definitely give me a complete copy of the "Fubei County Chronicle" within four days. Send it to the coffin shop."
I see!
After listening to Lao Cao's words, I understood what was going on.
At the same time, I also lamented that it is convenient to do things because of the connections!
In fact, if you think about it, if people in the Xuanmen Jianghu can become famous, it would be pretty good.
No matter how powerful a big man is, he always has needs such as moving to a new house, getting married, and having funerals, right?
Then it's up to us!
Since then, the hidden status of people in Xuanmen Jianghu is not low. It's just that I'm not liked very much on a daily basis.
I thought about it and said to Lao Cao.
"If you do the math, then on October 4th, Boss Duan will be able to deliver the "Fubei County Chronicle"?"
"That's right!"
"In that case, I will stay home for three or four days. I will return to Two Rivers Town on the afternoon of the 4th."
"Xiao Wu, why don't you spend more time with your parents and fairy aunt at home?"
"I can't help it. There have been many and complicated things recently. I promised Zhou Min to find the truth about her death and fish her body out of the Sichuan River. This matter cannot be delayed for too long. I have a hunch, As long as the matter of the living corpse in Xiaowan Village is solved first, although the rest may not necessarily be solved easily, at least we can find a clearer clue."
I'm actually quite helpless.
During the seven-day National Day holiday, I want to spend a few more days at home with my parents and master.
But here in Two Rivers Town, I have been involved in many weird and strange supernatural events. You can’t let it go completely, you still have to solve it piece by piece.
Lao Cao also knew it, so he sighed and nodded.
"Okay, then you can spend some time with your parents and Fairy Aunt these days. It'll be fine if you come back later on the 4th. Even if Boss Duan can send over a copy of the "Fubei County Chronicle", you can really find some useful information in it. The information, I guess we have to do things at night."
So, I packed my luggage and said hello to Wang Hu again.
Then we started on our way home.
On the afternoon of the holiday, many junior high school children from surrounding rural villages were walking home.
So even if you take a car out of the town and get off at the fork of the dirt road back to the village, there are still a lot of people...
After all, Lianghe Town does not only have one junior high school, "Lianghe District Middle School", but also has two junior high schools, "Lianghe Town Middle School" and "Lianghe No. 2 Middle School".
When I was in junior high school, the overall fertility rate was relatively high. I am at the end of the baby boom, so I have many people of the same age.
In addition, Lianghe Town is originally the largest and most prosperous town under the jurisdiction of Fubei County, so it is normal to have three junior high schools.
It's different now... It is said that the three junior high schools in Lianghe Town have been merged into one. The number of young people is decreasing rapidly.
Of course, these are digressions.
Back to business.
But I said that when I finished walking on the dirt road and turned into a country road, there were fewer people.
The path was only three feet wide, and there were weeds as high as my waist on both sides of the path.
Further out, there are patches of farmland. Some are growing rice, some are growing corn, and some are growing fruit trees.
The weather is a bit gloomy today and there is no sun.
It's not yet six o'clock in the afternoon, and it's already quite dark.
There were dense clouds in the sky, without a trace of sunlight or wind.
It looks like there will be a heavy rain tonight!
If this situation had happened before, I would have felt a little panicked walking alone on a country road.
Now I am not afraid at all. I hold my hands behind my head leisurely, hold a piece of grass in my mouth, and hum an inarticulate Hong Kong and Taiwan song.
"He said that in the wind and rain, this little pain is nothing. Don't be afraid if you wipe away your tears. At least we still have dreams..."
This is a new song taught by a young teacher from the city who was just assigned to Lianghe District during the school music class.
It's called "Sailor" and I like it very much.
I walked while humming.
I even hoped that some evil ghost or something without eyes would come out and cause trouble for me.
In this case, I can take the opportunity to practice again.
In order to avoid having to wait a few days to go back and deal with the "living corpse" matter in Xiaowan Village with Lao Cao and Li Miao, their skills will be rusty - of course, this situation is unlikely.
Master will definitely let me study hard and practice hard.
When I think of Master, a faint smile appears on my lips involuntarily.
She is such a perfect person!
Not only was he very kind to me, but he also had great magical power, stunning appearance, and was approachable... Oh, I made a mistake, this one didn't. She doesn't seem to have a particularly good temper.
But it doesn’t matter, just be nice to me!
And my parents, they must miss me, right?
This time when I went back, I decided to cook myself and make a few dishes for them to try.
I was thinking about my plans for the next few days, when suddenly!
A tall patch of grass in front of someone shook violently.
Um? !
"Is there really some crazy thing here?"
I sneered inwardly.
He immediately stopped and stopped humming. The thoughts turn and the Dantian becomes hot. The Qi in the body is ready to boil.
Shua la la...
The grass parted, revealing a little boy who looked to be seven or eight years old.
He looks very cute.
Wearing clean and tidy clothes, her eyes and face were round, with a lot of sweat hanging on her face, and she looked a little nervous and panicked.
oh?
It's a child.
He stood in front of the grass not far away, looking at me with timid eyes, as if he wanted to speak but didn't dare.
I looked at him carefully and smiled.
"Kid, why are you running out here alone in the middle of nowhere?"
"me……"
When the little boy spoke, his voice was clear and pleasant.
I continued: "Do you live nearby? Go back quickly, otherwise your family may become anxious."
After saying that, I was ready to continue on my way and ignore him.
But the little boy timidly said: "Big brother...my sister accidentally broke her leg. She bled a lot and was about to die. I, I want to find someone to save her. .”
He seemed to be speaking a little fluently at first, but soon became more and more normal.
I frowned slightly and stared at him without saying anything.
The little boy seemed to have been staring at me for too long and was a little frightened by my eyes. Subconsciously, he took a step back into the grass, but gritted his teeth and stood still.
His big eyes were watery, and he spoke in a slightly pleading tone.
"Brother, please go save my sister. She is very good and has never done anything bad. I don't want her to die. Wuwuwu..."
As he spoke, he actually started crying.
I frowned and hesitated for a while, but finally said it.
"Okay, then I'll give it a try. But let's say it first. I don't have any medical skills. I just need to simply disinfect it and wrap it with gauze to stop the bleeding."
In those days, injuries may have been easy, and hospitals and antibiotics were relatively lacking. Many people carry some iodine swabs, gauze and the like with them. Convenient for simple disinfection and bandaging.
When the little boy saw that I agreed, he immediately became happy and nodded vigorously.
"Thank you, brother! As long as you are willing to help my sister, she will definitely thank you."
"Okay, you lead the way."
"Okay big brother."
"By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Huihui."
The little boy happily agreed, turned around and walked into the grass.
I looked up at the cloudy sky and muttered something under my breath.
"Don't let me capsize in the gutter or have to go home in the dark and heavy rain just because of my damn kindness? Isn't that possible? Anyway, if there is a problem, I will evacuate immediately."
While I was talking to myself, I affixed an "insect repellent charm" close to my body inside my coat - it could prevent the infestation of common snakes, insects, rats, ants and other poisonous insects in the wild.
Then he picked up a thick wooden stick from the ground nearby, pushed the tall grass away to both sides, and followed the little boy into the mountains. Leaving the country road.
The further we go, the more lush the grass becomes. It's also getting quieter.
"Brother, can you keep up?"
The little boy walked for a while and stopped to wait for me.
I nodded and said, "I can keep up."
"That's good."
The little boy smiled and prepared to turn around and continue leading the way.
But I stopped him again.
"Hey, wait."
"What's wrong, big brother?"
"I said Huihui, you don't need to continue to maintain the blindness. This will make you very tired."
