Rebirth: Truth Does Not Dig Coal

After lunch was arranged by the school, they did not return to the dormitory building.

All classes gathered in the open space. After organizing the team, the local administrator led the students around the entire field in the afternoon.

The location of the dormitory building and the crop factory are connected, and the entire area surrounded by it is very large. Walking outside, the concrete floor under your feet gradually turns into land. It rained the day before, and the ground is still a little muddy.Xu Hao followed the team for a while, and felt that the soil under his feet was a little soft. Looking into the distance, he saw a large masonry field, and there were all kinds of crops on the ground next to it, which looked golden. It looks like a late autumn atmosphere.

Occasionally, one could hear startled shouts from the walking team, and then some people beside them laughed and said, because someone splashed mud soup during the walk.Hearing the sound, Xu Hao glanced over, then looked away, thinking, all of you are here to work in agriculture and still dressed as if you were going to a banquet. Farmer uncles are not tired enough to work, who has the time to look after you, isn't it so poor.

When I came to a place for the first time, the students were all young, and the novelty surged together like a cluster of flowers. Everything I saw was fun and fresh, and my spirits were high along the way. Many wildflowers.

Unexpectedly, however, this walk took more than an hour.

At first, I just thought to walk around this place, but I didn’t expect the leading administrator to take the students up a hill. The slope of the hill is not big, but the mountain road is very winding. Once the fresh head passes by, everyone gradually starts to cry. up.

Some girls whose shoes don’t follow their feet or have poor physical strength don’t want to go anymore, but they still haven’t reached their destination. They asked the head teacher who was traveling with them how far away, but the head teacher said that he didn’t understand. Finally, he sent someone to the front to ask. Their trip is going to the reservoir on the mountain.

It is said to be a reservoir, but it looks like an ordinary lake in the mountains, which disappointed all the students who have seen it.

Then, thinking that it would take another hour and a half to return the same way, the team complained for a while, and their interest quickly dropped.

The way back is not the original one, but most of the people have lost their interest in looking at the scenery, and there are only a few boys left who can talk and laugh.After going down the mountain, there is a new field. When you see the corn field again, you know that you are not far from the factory area.After walking for a while, the team suddenly heard someone shout, "Damn it, why is it so stinky."

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone consciously noticed the unpleasant smell, and the smell became stronger as they walked. Not long after, there was a commotion from the front of the line, and the speed of the line slowed down.

Some students felt very tired and wanted to squat down to catch their breath, but because of the stinky smell around them, they all frowned and did not dare to squat, especially when they repeatedly saw a lot of large lumps of cow and horse manure along the way, these students were afraid of getting wet. to himself.

After following the team for a while, Xu Hao realized what was going on ahead.The reason why the team walked slowly was because there was a big pit on the flat ground in front of it, and a stone slab with a width of only one meter was erected on it. To be on the safe side, only one person would pass on the bridge at a time, and that was the source of the stench .

Xu Hao hadn't been in the countryside much since he went to school, and he was terribly suffocated by the air for a while, when Zhang Xusheng stretched his neck and shouted behind him, "Damn it, such a big cesspit! How do we get here! "

Zhang Xusheng happened to be standing behind Xu Hao one by one. Xu Hao turned his head and said to him, "What a cesspit, it's called a septic tank. You'll remember to block your nose and squint your eyes, just run over and it's over."

Xu Hao was almost in front of him when he was talking, Yan Zeshun stood in front of Xu Hao, and when he heard Xu Hao say this, he turned around and asked Xu Hao, "Squint your eyes?"

Yan Ze is a very clean person, looking at his frowning expression, you can tell that he is also stinky enough, Xu Hao covered his mouth, he really didn't want to open his mouth, so he went to Yan Ze and patted it with the other hand Pat him on the back, hold your breath and say, "Listen to me, you're right."

Xu Hao's back pat was like coaxing a child, which made Yan Ze pause for a while.

This time, Yan Ze didn't avoid Xu Hao's movements obviously, but just tilted his shoulders somewhat unnaturally, obviously no one had ever done such a small move.

But Xu Hao patted it and then let it go. He was so stinky that he didn't realize what he had done, and he didn't pay attention to Yan Ze's movements.

When he saw Yan Ze walking over with his face covered, Xu Hao ran behind without hesitation.

Zhang Xusheng could be heard shouting from behind, "Squinting? Why? Why can't you keep your eyes open?"

Xu Hao really admired Zhang Xusheng's willingness to speak in such an environment.

As a result, Zhang Xusheng pinched his nose and ran halfway, suddenly his expression twisted, and he jumped over the board in one step.

Jumping over and letting go of his nose, Zhang Xusheng quickly rubbed his eyes and said, "This cesspit is absolutely perfect, even the air stinks so badly."

Xu Hao: "...I told you something earlier."

-

On the first day, the school took care of everyone's lack of adaptability, so they had half an hour of late self-study and early release.

When Xu Hao left the classroom, Wang Haoran was left behind by the teacher, so he went back to the dormitory by himself.

At nine o'clock in the suburbs, there is no light pollution, and the surrounding area is a bit darker than the city. However, there are many street lights in the area, and there are many students walking to the dormitory area around. Everyone walks together, and they don't feel any sense of isolation.

Xu Hao walked upstairs with two books in his arms, and when he opened the door of the dormitory, he found that a person had already returned from the room.

It's Yan Ze.

The three in the other class may be late after class and haven't come back yet.Yan Ze stood alone on the balcony, the glass door was ajar, his hand was falling on the window frame, when he heard someone coming in, Yan Ze withdrew his hand.

The balcony was directly opposite the entrance door, and there was a street lamp outside through the glass window of their room, which was very bright. Even though the lights had been turned on in the house, the street lamp still illuminated the balcony into a dense orange fog.

Yan Ze was enveloped there, and the boundaries were blurred.

Xu Hao put the book on the table, and reached out to lift the thermos by the door. There were four thermos bottles in total, all of which were empty. Xu Hao lifted two of them, and saw that Yan Ze had turned around, but did not speak. Hao casually greeted him and said, "What are you looking at?"

Yan Ze walked into the room, followed the movements to close the glass door, took a deep breath, and said, "It's nothing."

The words were short, and it sounded like he didn't really want to communicate.

Xu Hao was standing at the door with a kettle in his hand. Hearing what Yan Ze said, he said, "Okay, I'll fetch water."

Just as he was about to leave just like that, Xu Hao suddenly realized something, and his eyes stopped for a moment on the street lights coming in from the balcony and the thick sunshade cloth in the house.

The lights are bright.

Xu Hao narrowed his eyes.

When he was leaving again, he found that Yan Ze had arrived at the door at some point. Yan Ze picked up the two thermos bottles by the door and said to Xu Hao, "Let's go."

Xu Hao was taken aback, he didn't expect that Yan Ze would go too, it was Yan Ze who went out first with the water bottle, and Xu Hao followed.

The design of this place is very strange. The place to get hot water is not in the dormitory building, but in an open space outside the dormitory area. Students who want to use hot water must carry a kettle through it no matter day or night. It's not a short distance to reach the hot water appliance, so you can use the water after walking back and forth.

Xu Hao and Yan Ze walked downstairs. All the classes in the teaching area were dismissed. The students were noisy and flocked to the dormitory building. Not many people were willing to come out to fetch water at this time. Looking around, only Xu Hao They and a few others were going out against the flow of people.

Walking again, the noise was left behind, and gradually there were no people.

The two never spoke a word.

The vegetation along the road is low and sparse, and the road is covered with muddy and chaotic footprints. When you walk by during the day, you don’t feel anything. However, the night in the countryside is heavier than that in the city. In addition to the cold weather, it feels desolate.

However, the fresh air seems to be freshly squeezed from the clouds. Walking at night makes people feel very breathable.

It's just a little cold.

Xu Hao walked side by side beside Yan Ze, thinking while walking, saving water is not so economical, who wants to go out in the wilderness, probably the mineral water in the small shop will be sold out tomorrow.

Just as I was thinking about it, when I looked up, I suddenly found that there was no one beside me.

Xu Hao turned around in surprise, and saw that Yan Ze somehow stopped a few steps behind him, standing there motionless.

I don't know if it's because of the lighting, which made Yan Ze's face look a little pale, his sideways twitched, his eyes fixed on the front, as if he was staring at some beast.

His breathing stopped and he was walking on thin ice. It was obvious that Yan Ze had seen something. A sudden situation made him very nervous.

Xu Hao seemed to be aware of it, and followed Yan Ze's line of sight to look forward, but found that he couldn't see anything in front of him.

It's literally seeing nothing.

Just now the street lamps were densely arranged, and the lights were so bright as if they didn't need money. Xu Hao didn't realize for a while that the street lamps came here and stopped here.

Going forward, a large number of street lights have been extinguished, and the countryside has this characteristic. The night is as thick as jelly, and it is still like a blind man with a flashlight.

And Yan Ze stopped there inexplicably, his body stiffened, and all the blood on his lips disappeared.

To be honest, if it wasn't for him being here tonight, if it was anyone else, seeing Yan Ze's reaction, I would think that Yan Ze was going to hell.

Relying on his 5.0 vision in both eyes, Xu Hao finally found two small spots of light, one red and one green, from the thick, jelly-like night.

It is a water heater.

About a moment, there is about [-] meters away from the place where there is not much light.

Yan Ze's mood was abnormal, but Xu Hao took Yan Ze's self-esteem into consideration, so he didn't go to see him again, he just pretended he didn't notice anything and said to him, "Oh, it's not a big deal, you Let’s just look at the kettle here, we can’t see anything if we go there together, it’s not worth letting the thermos bottle spill all over us.”

When Xu Hao spoke suddenly, it was especially clear in Wan Lai's silent night, which made Yan Ze feel as if he had been awakened from a dream, and took a step back with some unsteady steps.

Yan Ze subconsciously looked at Xu Hao following the voice, and he didn't even have time to take back the emotion in his eyes.

His eyes were full of panic, with a bit of uncontrollable loss, he opened his mouth slightly, took a few short breaths, and his unbearable emotions were exposed so straightforwardly that Yan Ze even wanted to run away for a moment.

However, Xu Hao had a tacit understanding and didn't look back.

After Xu Hao finished speaking, he walked forward with the two thermos bottles in his hands. The deeper he went, the space gradually dimmed, and the oppressive feeling of darkness came from all directions.

Xu Hao has always had a strong mental quality. He groped to find the water heater. He freed up one hand to turn on the built-in light of the mobile phone and held it to his mouth. Then he held the pot with one hand and pressed the water outlet with the other, and poured two buckets of water into it. It's full.

When walking back again, I saw Yan Ze standing alone in the same place without moving.

Xu Hao walked up to Yan Ze, put down his own, and went to get the two water bottles in Yan Ze's hands, but found that Yan Ze was holding them tightly, and was pulled by him, before he realized that he let go of his hands.

Xu Hao could vaguely feel the cold sweat on his hands.

Yan Ze's released hand trembled a little. He lowered his head slightly, wiped his eyes with his left hand, and finally clenched his fingers into fists.

He didn't say a word, his whole body was tightening up, and he finally gritted his teeth and restrained that fragile emotion.

When Xu Hao straightened up holding the kettle, he deliberately avoided Yan Ze's eyes, but suddenly remembered a movie he had seen in his previous life.

I have forgotten the name, but I only remember a man walking under the street lamp.

One lamp, another lamp.

Finally into an impenetrable darkness, swallowing even the shadows.

Yan Ze probably had a nightmare after watching this movie.

When walking back, people could be seen around, but Yan Ze was obviously much more depressed than when he came.

The two walked back to the dormitory without a word. When they entered the room, they saw that the other four had returned. Everyone expressed their surprise that someone would take the initiative to fetch water. Once they entered the room, they praised Xu Hao and Yan Zemeng for a while.

Without saying a word, Yan Ze put down the thermos bottle and went straight to the bed, took off his shoes, stretched his hands on the edge of the bed, and got on the bed with simple movements.

The remaining four people looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking they had said something wrong, but it was Xu Hao who made things right, which broke the embarrassment, and everyone chatted about something else.

Before going to bed, the lower bunk opposite Xu Hao went to turn off the lights.After turning off the light, I found that the shade cloth was not long enough, and the street lamp next to the balcony still had a ray of light scattered on Xu Hao's bed, making that wall still look bright.

The classmate who turned off the lights couldn't help coming over to pull the shade cloth, saying, "Hey, it's the end? There are no street lights arranged by the window for people, how can people sleep like that."

Xu Hao happened to have just changed into the short sleeves he wore for sleeping, and when he saw the light on the bed shaking back and forth with the curtain being pulled, he said, "Forget it, it's just our bright spot, and your side is opaque, so don't be busy." .”

The classmate looked up and studied the layout of the curtains as if he was still a little bit unwilling, and said, "How can that be done? Then how can you sleep."

Xu Hao was quite indifferent, "Hey, I can fall asleep anyway, as for..."

Xu Hao is tall, standing on the edge of the bed and turning his head, he can just see Yan Ze.

Yan Ze turned his back to Xu Hao, his body was slightly arched, he didn't move, and he didn't know if he was asleep.

Xu Hao said, "As for Yan Ze, he's already asleep, so it probably won't affect him, so let's just leave it at that."

When the classmate heard this, he gave up.They each went to bed, and it didn't take long for the dormitory to fall into a quiet before going to bed.

Xu Hao was lying on the bed, and soon heard the sound of clothes rubbing against the upper bunk. It was probably because Yan Ze finally felt uncomfortable in one position for too long, so he changed his position a little.

The path of light projected obliquely from behind happened to fall on Xu Hao's hand for a part of its trajectory. It was so golden that Xu Hao raised his hand to have a look.

The hand lines are mixed, each line glowing with light.

Before he closed his eyes and fell asleep, Xu Hao was still thinking about it. Xu Hao knew from his previous life that Yan Ze had a flaw in his perception.

You have to turn on the light when you sleep, and the seat is inclined to sit in a place close to the sun. Usually there are five people and six people lying side by side, but suddenly falling into the dark will have a very intense stress reaction.

Who would have thought that someone like Yan Ze?

He was afraid of the dark.
