unspoken

When it comes to trees, people's first reaction is "the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoy the shade".But this is not the case. There is a legend about the long bearded banyan tree planted in M ​​University.

The origin of that legend is the summer of 1991.

At that time, several college students gathered under an ancient banyan tree and told ghost stories.

There are only a few minutes until August 8. Telling ghost stories at this time is the most exciting.

"I heard that there are corpses buried under this tree!" Listening to some old ghost stories told by his friends, Luo Feng felt a little bored, looked up at the banyan tree above his head, suddenly revealed a wicked smile, and said these words , causing several girls to scream.

"Nonsense! Don't take this creation just because there is a tree beside us. The story of the white-clothed senior sister I told is scarier, right?" Seeing the girls startled by Luo Feng's words, Zhang Chang Hong objected displeasedly.

Luo Feng raised his eyebrows, "What nonsense? If it wasn't for the nutrients, how could this banyan tree grow so big? You see, the trees of the same species next to it don't grow as strong. I see, it's this tree that can eat people. !"

Lin Xi, who was dragged by them to participate in this 'ghost story meeting', patted Su Lili who was trembling with fear, "It's alright, alright, both of you calm down, Su Lili is so frightened!"

Is this enough to scare you?Luo Feng snorted disdainfully.

"Really!" Su Lili lowered her head to comfort Lin Qian who was still trembling, "Sissi, are you alright?"

"I...I...Lily...over there...over there..." Lin Xi kept shaking her head, staring directly at Luo Feng's back with her wide eyes, pointing tremblingly with her fingers behind him.

"What's wrong over there?" Su Lili was confused, and looked in the direction Lin Qian pointed at, "There's nothing?"

"Behind...behind...behind...ahhh!!" Lin Qian kept repeating the same word, then she screamed and stood up and ran away as if she couldn't take it anymore.

"Sissy!" Seeing Lin Qian stumbling away, Su Lili hurriedly followed.

"What the hell! What happened behind me? There's nothing—" Luo Feng frowned. Behind him was the trunk of this big banyan tree. Lin Qian would have such a violent reaction. Could it be that there was something on this tree? ?

It couldn't be that the bird was on the top, which startled Lin Qian. If that was the case, Lin Qian was really too timid.

Luo Feng was dissatisfied in his heart, turned his head and looked up the tree trunk, and then his pupils shrank suddenly.

There was a thin, dry woman hanging on the branch of a tree, as if her blood had been sucked dry from her whole body.Only the whites of the eyes stared at them, and the long hair hung down and mixed with the long beard of the banyan tree.

In the campus late at night, screams suddenly sounded.

There are many banyan trees planted beside the roads of the Medical College and Criminal Police Academy, tall and strong, and the unique dark brown long beard of the banyan tree, like the beard of an elder, adds an old atmosphere to the banyan tree.

In summer, the trees on both sides of the road are good partners for shelter from the wind and rain. Yin You does not have the habit of carrying an umbrella in class, and relies on these trees to protect him from the rain.

Yin Sha was familiar with his brother's temperament, so he put an umbrella in his bag, so he was prepared.

It's just that the whiskers of these banyan trees grow longer and longer, and they always touch the top of Yin You's head. The feeling of the whiskers touching him makes Yin You feel hairy all over. He can't explain why, but gradually, Yin You doesn't want to walk under the tree. up.

This day was still the same as usual, Yin Sha first sent Yin You to the place where he was going to attend class, and after confirming that the place was safe, he turned back and rushed to his teaching building.

Yin You waved at Yin Sha until he was out of sight, then lowered his head and played with his mobile phone in the stadium.

There is a new SMS alert.

Squad leader: Today the physical education class is changed to the track and field field of the M University Headquarters. Don't be late at 8:30. Please reply if you receive it.

"The track and field in the headquarters?" Yin You rubbed his chin, "It seems to be...the south gate!"

Eight thirty, there are still 10 minutes, so I had to run over.

Yin You glanced at the time one last time, put the phone back in his pocket, and ran with both legs.

The criminal police academy and the medical school are located at the north gate of M University, and it takes at least 15 minutes to walk to the south gate. Yin You ran there, and it took only 5 minutes.

But the result was panting heavily on his knees, and at the same time, he was secretly glad that he was not late. You must know that the physical education teacher in the police academy is as strict as an instructor, and the credits deducted for being late once need to pass two semester exams. Only then can it be made up.

After the roll call, the class starts. The warm-up activity is jogging for 1200 meters. After that, you can each take a basketball and find a few partners to practice freely. The teacher will guide the students who have problems. A student returning to the dormitory to catch up on sleep.But Yin You didn't have the habit of skipping classes, and with a lazy mentality of staying here since he came, he was very leisurely in the physical education class.

No, as soon as the teacher turned his head, Yin You sneaked to a shaded place and sat down to enjoy the cool.

The track and field field in the headquarters is very old, not to mention the cement-paved ground, the paint on the dozen or so basketball hoops standing there is almost gone, and there are still whitish advertising stickers on the hoops; and As old as this track and field is the banyan tree planted beside it, it seems to be nearly half a century old.

Although he was somewhat repelled by Xu Tiao, Yin You felt that he would not touch him when he sat down, so he didn't care so much. He changed to a comfortable sitting position, bowed his head and continued to play with his mobile phone.

Before he sat down for a while, two people sat down not far from him. He looked up and saw that it was the class monitor and a male classmate who was holding his knees and showing a very painful expression.

"Squad leader, what's wrong with him?" Yin You asked with concern.

"I fell down while playing ball and hit my knee." The monitor helped the male student to sit down, planning to go to the infirmary to get some medicine, but was stopped by a student.

"The teacher told you to go over."

"But..." the squad leader frowned.

"I'm fine, you can go." The male student is quite strong and has been taken care of by the slender class monitor for a long time. At this time, if he doesn't go to the teacher's side to take care of him, he feels a little sorry.

"Then what, shall I go to the infirmary? Anyway, I'm quite free." Yin You, who was left alone, said.

Yin You volunteered, but of course no one refused.

When I arrived at the infirmary, I explained the situation to the doctor on duty, and then went back with a bag of medicinal gauze.

Seeing the male classmate sitting under a tree at the entrance of the track and field, I trot towards him.

Yin You looked ahead and ran, and for a moment, he seemed to see the thick beard of the tree behind the male classmate suddenly grow longer, slowly stretching towards his neck like a hand.

But after blinking, there was no picture of the whiskers stretching toward the male student's neck.

Yin You frowned, thinking: "An illusion..."

"Student, here's the potion. I'll treat the wound if I don't hit it. If you feel any pain, please tell me!" Yin You squatted down in front of him.

"……"no respond.

"Classmate?" Yin You wondered, the moment he raised his head, the male student fell forward, that is, the direction where Yin You was squatting.

"It hurts... Hey, hey, what's wrong with you, classmate?" Yin You, who was squatting, was naturally pushed down by that classmate, and the back of his head hit the concrete floor, and he couldn't help crying out in pain.But he recovered quickly and shook the male classmate who was pressing on him.

Still no response, eyes closed, lips pale, obviously fainted.

"What are you doing..." Just as Yin You was about to bring this classmate back to his original position, he saw the tiny hole on the male classmate's neck.

As if being pricked by a dozen needles, those holes and blood beads came out of those holes.

"Hey! Are you all right!" Without giving Yin You time to think, the physical education teacher who saw the strangeness here had already rushed over.

After explaining the situation to the physical education teacher, the teacher checked the situation of the students and said to the two students closest to him: "It's the fainting caused by anemia, you guys, help him to the infirmary."

Then he turned his head and asked Yin You, "Are you not hurt?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Yin You waved his hands.

Due to special circumstances, the teacher dismissed get out of class 10 minutes earlier.

Yin You watched the two boys help the male classmate go away, then turned to get the schoolbag.

"Chen Hongwei fainted from anemia? Impossible, he doesn't catch a cold once a year, and he is very strong, how could he be anemic." The boy carrying a schoolbag like Yin You chatted with the boy who was walking with him.There is no doubt that Chen Hongwei is the strongest man in their class, and it is a fantasy for them to pass out from anemia.

"Who knows! Maybe he goes out at night and comes back very late...you know." The boy joked, and Yin You felt that he didn't need to listen to what he said later, so he adjusted the shoulder straps of his backpack and left the track and field.

A few days later, they were notified that physical education classes had returned to the stadium.Chen Hongwei also got better, but where no one noticed, the bloody gash on his neck healed quietly.

Only Yin You would think of this when he was alone.

He closed his eyes, and the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting incomplete shadows on his face.

Forget it, let it be buried in the silence.

My school does have this kind of tree~
