i don't want to die again

After Xu Shunian ran out of the dormitory, he stroked his frightened little heart with lingering fear. There were only six or seven minutes left before class, and he had to hurry to the classroom.

Xu Shunian, who had missed two classes, was filled with guilt at this moment, and even surpassed the fear of seeing ghosts for a while.

He rushed into the classroom almost stepping on the bell. After finding a seat nearby, he immediately dug out the textbooks.

The teacher of this class is a male teacher in his 50s. His hair is sparse like a grassland burned by wildfire. He has been declaring subjects to his pre-made ppt throughout the whole process, without even adding a few modal particles.

Xu Shunian was also seriously listening to the class, but later found that the teacher's ppt was actually just copying the original text from the textbook, and he couldn't help being distracted like other students.

Suddenly remembering that Lu Zhan could see the little girl like himself in the morning, Xu Shunian's psychological burden suddenly eased a lot. This at least proved that he is not mentally abnormal, although the setting of being able to see ghosts is not wonderful.

Just as he was thinking this way, Xu Shunian heard the familiar crisp sound again. When he stiffened his neck and looked out, he saw the little girl standing upright in the corridor, staring at him as motionless as before.

Xu Shunian couldn't help covering his eyes in pain.

For the next few days, Xu Shunian was extremely regretful why he went back to the mountains and forests. Not only did he not find the jade token, but he also brought back a little female ghost. The panic has become a little numb.

But when Xu was in dire straits every day, another person was quietly observing all this.

As classmates in a college, Lu Zhan and Xu Shunian have at least three basic classes that overlap each week, plus the elective class that he occasionally skips, and the occasional meeting on the same floor, they can at least meet each other in a week. See the last five or six times.

This used to be a headache for Lu Zhan, but in the past week, Xu Shunian has been uncharacteristically. He always sits in a corner far away from him in class, and when we meet in the corridor, he always brushes past him with his head down for a long time. I didn't take the initiative to come together to find a sense of presence.

Lu Zhan was also happy and relaxed at first, but when he found that Xu Shunian was entangled by that little ghost, he was a little surprised, which also aroused his curiosity.

After seeing the skinny little female ghost for the first time, Lu Zhan saw her again from the window of the classroom during the basic class that night.

At that time, Xu Shunian was sitting in the corner by the window, and the little girl was lying outside the window on the second floor, staring at Xu Shunian, who was almost curled up on the seat, blocking half of his sight with one hand.

Lu Zhan only thought it was funny at first, and thought it was funny that Xu Shunian was trembling with fright. He also understood that not everyone can accept the fact that they can see ghosts calmly.

And because of the special nature of his family, he has never been surprised by these dirty things since he was a child. Although he was frightened by ghosts several times when he was young, but now he can't be afraid of ghosts no matter how ferocious they look. up.

Unless it is the kind of ghost that gathers the evil spirit of thousands of resentful spirits and can threaten the lives of many people as soon as it appears.

But in this peaceful age, the probability of such ghosts appearing is too low, and it is rare to encounter one in a lifetime.

And the little ghost who haunts Xu Shunian is obviously also picky, and finds that he will run away immediately when observing her, but has been following Xu Shunian persistently. This is what makes Lu Zhan curious. Why didn't I find that Xu Shunian had this kind of physique before?

At the end of evening class that day, Lu Zhan saw that Xu Shunian ran away with his schoolbag after class, so he quickly found an excuse and left without waiting for his roommate.

When secretly following Xu Shunian, Lu Zhan suddenly discovered that this man was quite fetish for some reason now. On the way from the classroom to the dormitory, several sneaky ones appeared and wandered around him in turn.

Seeing that man startled like a rabbit, Lu Zhan almost laughed out loud.

For the next few days, Lu Zhan would pay attention to Xu Shunian's actions from time to time, and found that although he was not very gregarious before, he seemed to be quieter now.

When I was annoyed by this person before, I even thought he was ugly, but in fact Xu Shunian is not bad looking, with a slender figure and good facial features. His eyebrows and eyes are more three-dimensional than others, and when he becomes paranoid, he will It makes people feel a little harsh, but when he is quiet, he has a sense of handsomeness. With his pale skin, sometimes he looks a little clear and gentle.

Xu Shunian who doesn't always bother him, Lu Zhan still finds it quite pleasing to the eye.

Once when he was playing on the basketball court in the West District, Lu Zhan accidentally saw a man running wildly on the path outside the playground in the distance. His buddies who were playing together said when they saw it, "Haha, that person must be sick."

Lu Zhan couldn't help but groan, and finally turned into squatting on the ground holding his stomach and laughing, unable to stand up for a long time.

The buddy looked at him with crazy eyes, and asked suspiciously: "Is it so funny?"

Lu Zhan didn't explain, because only he could see that the running man was Xu Shunian, and there were seven or eight ghosts following him not far or near, and they were all running after him excitedly. Those ghosts on campus are so lonely, they all come out to torment him when they catch such a bully, just like teasing small animals.

Later, when he was in the toilet of the teaching building, Lu Zhan watched the little female ghost float out of the men's toilet expressionlessly from a distance. He had a premonition and stopped to observe.

Sure enough, not long after, Xu Shunian also rushed out in a panic, with a hint of embarrassment in his panic, and he didn't know how he reacted when he saw the little girl staring at him in the toilet.

Lu Zhan thought about it for a moment, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

After Xu Shunian came out of the toilet, his face was blue and red, and he was very tangled. Hearing the bell behind him, he suddenly had a ridiculous idea of ​​wanting to reason with the ghost.

As soon as he looked up and saw a tall boy standing not far in front, who seemed to be looking at him, Xu Shunian froze for a moment, then hurriedly slid down the backpack on his shoulder, took out a piece of paper from it, and then turned towards The boys go.

Lu Zhan saw this person walking towards this side, and when he realized that he finally ducked away, he also raised his eyebrows curiously.

When Xu Shunian saw Lu Zhan, he felt a little nervous. It was the uneasiness of simply seeing a creditor. He mustered up the courage to walk up to Lu Zhan, raised his head and smiled kindly, then handed him the paper in his hand, bowing. Said in a low voice, "This is my IOU for you."

Lu Zhan took the piece of paper without knowing why, then opened it and looked at it, and found that it was actually an IOU for a debt of [-] yuan, which clearly stated the cause and effect of the debt, and even had the signature and fingerprints of the other party.

Only then did he a little bit believe that the jade plaque was really lost, and felt a little ridiculous for a while.

Xu Shunian lowered his head and said in shame: "I can't pay this money all at once now, but I will give it to you as soon as I have money, and I may pay it back intermittently... I hope you can give me some time , I promise to pay you back the principal with interest..."

Worried that the other party would be dissatisfied, Xu Shunian kept beating his heart when he said this. After all, he made a mistake first, and he couldn’t afford to pay for the mistake. Even if the other party is angry at this time and wants to call the police to arrest him as a thief, it’s okay. , Anxiety and shame kept him from looking directly into the other person's eyes.

Lu Zhan was much taller than Xu Shunian, and when he met him, he kept showing him the hair on the top of his head, like a schoolboy who was seriously apologizing. After putting it in his pocket, he said indifferently: "Just do as you say."

Xu Shunian raised his head in surprise, saw the other party nonchalantly lifting the backpack hanging on his shoulder, and then walked away calmly.

After standing there for half a second, Xu Shunian suddenly realized that the other party had agreed to his request to pay back the money slowly, and he couldn't help being overjoyed. Even the haze of being haunted by ghosts has eased a lot.

After Lu Zhan left, Xu Shunian felt that the sound of the bell behind him disappeared for a while, but it reappeared soon after.

He couldn't help smiling wryly, he's gotten used to being scared these days, and even has a few familiar ghosts in school, and those ghosts always appear in fixed places, and Xu Shunian can see them everywhere They walked away without changing their expressions.

Only this little girl, no matter where Xu Shunian goes, she will follow, and when there are few people, she will suddenly appear in front of her, pulling Xu Shunian's clothes, raising her head with a pair of eyes that shed blood and tears from time to time watching him.

Xu Shunian was almost fainted by sudden shock several times.

Until one day, when Xu Shunian went to the toilet and returned to the classroom between classes, he suddenly saw a small cloth bag in the pages of his textbook. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a talisman.

Xu Shunian didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and suspected that someone accidentally misplaced it. He put the amulet in a prominent position on the table for two classes, but no one came to pick it up.

Later, when class was over, he looked back at the gadget lying alone on the table, hesitated for a while, and took it away in his pocket.

I don't know if it was his psychological effect, but after wearing the amulet, the few ghosts he often encountered at school never appeared again.

Only the little girl would pop up from time to time, but compared to before, the little girl was always standing far away now, rarely approaching him, and seemed to be affected by the amulet.

Xu Shunian couldn't help feeling that this amulet might not be a life-saving amulet sent by some god who saw him pitiful.

After several days, Xu Shunian felt that his life gradually returned to normal. He took classes seriously every day, went to the store to work part-time when he was free, and went to the library for self-study between classes. His life was fulfilling and busy.

Until one day he finished his part-time job and went back to school for dinner. When he was sitting in the cafeteria and eating, he could see the figure of the little girl flashing around him repeatedly. The breakthrough that is close to oneself is average.

Xu Shunian was a little flustered. After finishing his meal in a hurry, he planned to go back to the dormitory first.

Along the way, he kept holding the amulet in his palm, chanting the Bodhisattva to bless the Buddha, but when he passed the small bridge on the artificial lake, he was startled when he suddenly saw a little girl standing under the bridge in the lake water bleeding from all seven orifices. , The amulet in his hand was thrown out by him, and fell directly into the lake.

Xu Shunian glanced at the amulet floating on the water and swaying with the waves. He was dragged into the water by the fat and strong koi carps that had been fed all year round in the lake as food, and he was instantly torn to pieces. In an instant, all thoughts were lost.

It's over, the life-saving talisman sent by the gods is gone.
