Cultivation in the city

That boy not only blushed, but his eyes were also flushed.

"I, I, no, yes, I'm sorry..." The young man probably had never experienced such an embarrassing scene, and he became a little incoherent for a while.

"The past damage has already been done, so I can't accept your apology on behalf of my past self." Duan Xiaolou's words were a little cold.

The other students couldn't help feeling embarrassed. This apology was agreed upon by everyone. For those who bullied Duan Xiaolou in the past or ignored Duan Xiaolou's bullying, they went from taking it for granted at the beginning to now feeling uneasy about their conscience. In short, they realized their mistakes and sincerely repented.

But some things are like this, it’s not that you know you’re wrong, others must accept your apology.

Everyone understands the truth, but not everyone can accept it.

Because Duan Xiaolou's words made him a little bit embarrassed to get off the stage, a few hot-tempered people were about to leave on the spot, but they were stopped by the people next to them.

"I'm sorry, we sincerely apologize to you, and we don't have to ask you to respond or accept our apology." The girl who was speaking was sitting obliquely in front of Duan Xiaolou. She didn't have much contact with Duan Xiaolou, and she was a relatively silent person. , She smiled wryly, and said, "To be honest, apologizing can certainly comfort the person being apologized to a certain extent, but most of them are probably like us who want to seek self-comfort."

The girl's voice was soft but convincing. The restless classmates also began to calm down, lowering their heads in thought.

"Liu Yu is right. Our apology is just to seek our own psychological comfort. If this is the case, why do we have to force others to forgive us?" Another classmate also echoed.

"Yes, if I am bullied by everyone and no one helps me, I don't want to forgive those who bully me."

……

Voices gradually increased, and more and more people began to agree with Liu Yu's thoughts.

The boy who stood up at the very beginning seemed to understand something, although his face was still red, but he did not have the embarrassment and embarrassment just now, he raised his glass again and said: "Duan Xiaolou, I sincerely say sorry to you again, I hope those hurt and bad memories will not leave too many traces in your heart."

"Yes, I also want to say sorry to you, sorry for bullying you like everyone else before."

"I'm sorry, Duan Xiaolou."

"terribly sorry."

"sorry."

……

In the end, everyone except Zhong Chu and Chen Yan raised their glasses.

Duan Xiaolou didn't say "it's okay", but he also raised his glass.

Some harm has already been done, and it is destined that there is no way to pretend that it never happened, but he can decide to forgive or not.

The students who came to participate in the graduation trip did not actually bully themselves much, and more of them turned a blind eye to being bullied or teased them a little. They are not particularly bad-hearted, but they are just the unique herd mentality and timidity of young people. , This is why Duan Xiaolou is willing to sit down and eat with them.

After lunch, the crowd divided into several waves. Those who were not afraid of the heat discussed going fishing under the trees by the lake. There was a cool breeze blowing under the shade of the trees by the lake, so it would not be too unbearable.Those who are particularly afraid of the heat choose indoor activities. There are KTV and chess and card rooms in the farmhouse.

Duan Xiaolou did not go to play with his classmates, but went to the room with Chen Yan.

He originally planned to live in a room with Zhong Chu, but later Chen Yan called and asked Zhong Chu to reserve a place for him, so Zhong Chu simply shared a room with others and left his own place to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan was very satisfied with this. He didn't expect that Zhong Chu, who seemed a little dull, would be so flexible. It seems that he should not be banned from contacting Duan Xiaolou in the future. Well, as long as the time is not too long, he Still tolerable.

The leisure time in the afternoon passed quickly amidst the fun, and the evening was still a fresh and delicious sumptuous dinner.

After dinner, everyone seemed to feel a little bored. These children who are used to urban life are not used to the slightly monotonous night life in the countryside, so someone proposed to go to the back mountain to play at night.

The back mountain of Butterfly Lake Farm is said to be a mountain, but it is actually a small hill. It takes only ten minutes to reach the top if you walk faster. Several people have been there during the day, but everyone thinks that going there at night may have a more terrifying atmosphere. It's more interesting, so even those students who have been there agree to go again, and others have no reason to refuse.

Duan Xiaolou was not very interested in this kind of activity, but anyway, he couldn't do experiments, and it was the same for him to do anything. Coupled with Zhong Chu's strong request, Duan Xiaolou agreed.

As for Chen Yan, he just came to play with Duan Xiaolou, how could Duan Xiaolou participate in the activities without him?

It gets dark late in summer, and they go out at about seven o'clock, and it's not completely dark at that time.But as time went by, the sky gradually darkened, because there were no street lights, and the surroundings were pitch black, some timid girls already felt a little scared.

Someone proposed to go back, and many people followed suit, because most of them were girls, and no one made a fuss about them being timid. A few boys who were also afraid but did not dare to reveal it took the opportunity to say that they would send them back, and about half of them left just like that. up.

Some of the rest were really not afraid at all, some were stubborn and didn't want others to say that they were timid, and of course there were students like Zhong Chu who were not interested but worried, so they kept following them.

Duan Xiaolou and Chen Yan were at the end. He shrugged his nose, touched Chen Yan with his elbow, and asked in a low voice, "Do you feel that something is not right?"

Although the sky was dark just now, it is definitely not as dark as it is now. It is said that it is because there are trees blocking the mountain, but Duan Xiaolou swept the flashlight around, and the distance of the beam of light is obviously a bit short.But probably because other people were too nervous, no one has discovered this yet.

In addition, the mountains are foggy, and it must be cooler and more humid than ordinary places, but this is just a small hill, and logically speaking, there is no obvious difference from the foot of the mountain, but watching the people around you keep rubbing their arms It looks like it's obviously cold.

Chen Yan frowned. People with fire attributes like him hate this kind of dark and humid place the most. He pulled Duan Xiaolou closer and said, "Get closer to me, the humidity really sucks." Hate."

After a pause, seeing that Duan Xiaolou was still a little worried, he said again: "Don't worry, even if something happens, it's none of our business."

Duan Xiaolou glanced at Chen Yan in surprise, not quite understanding the meaning of the other's words.

Chen Yan was about to explain, when suddenly there was a scream from the front.

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Chu's voice came over: "Don't be nervous, we are all here! Everyone move closer together, the girls are in the middle, and the boys are outside! Hurry up!"

The more flustered they were, the more people hoped for someone to stand up and help them make decisions, so as soon as Zhong Chu's words fell, the others began to act according to his instructions.

Probably because of the encouragement of the idea of ​​"protecting the girls", the boys who were afraid at first also took courage. Use your hands as weapons, as if this will give them a greater sense of security.

Duan Xiaolou was behind and didn't know what happened in front of him. When he passed by, the screaming girl had calmed down, but her face was a little pale. It's not difficult to see that she still had lingering fears.

Coincidentally, this girl was Liu Yu who stood up and spoke at noon and left a deep impression on Duan Xiaolou.

Liu Yu is not interested in this kind of game similar to the test of courage, but her friend Yuan Zi is a loyal fan of this kind of game, so it is not easy for her to refuse the other party's invitation as a friend.

Originally, she didn't believe in the theory of gods and monsters, so even if it was dark, she was not very afraid, but she didn't expect that a black shadow flashed past her eyes just now.At first she thought it was the shadow of a bug or a bird, but then something wrapped around her wrist. She looked down through the light of the flashlight, and it was not a real thing, but a black shadow!

Liu Yu screamed in fright on the spot, and this scream immediately triggered a series of chain reactions, which frightened the others, which caused the confusion just now.

When Liu Yu said this, the others couldn't help shivering.If it was someone else who said this, everyone might think that the other party was joking, but since it was Liu Yu who spoke, it would be difficult for everyone to connect this matter with a joke.

Everyone in the class didn't know that Liu Yu was famously honest, not to mention her pale face, it didn't look like she was lying.

Someone asked: "Then, could it be that you read it wrong?"

It was a boy who spoke, and his voice trembled slightly, which made people's hearts vibrate involuntarily.

Liu Yu shook her head. She also hoped that she was wrong, but she touched the black shadow in order to break free. She clearly felt the strength of the black shadow on her hand, but when she touched it, there was no protrusion, as if it didn't exist. Same!

Duan Xiaolou watched for a long time, and when he heard this, he also asked, "Did you encounter a black shadow? Do you have any special feelings?"

Duan Xiaolou's voice was very calm, which made people feel at ease.

Liu Yu calmed down a little, and carefully recalled what he had just experienced.

"Ah, I remembered. That black shadow wrapped around my wrist. It felt like nothing but a cool feeling." Liu Yu said suddenly.

Duan Xiaolou thought for a long time, but he couldn't find a ghost similar to this kind of thing from his memory.But this is not surprising, after all, it is not in Luoxian Continent, even the herbs are different, let alone spirits?

"It's getting late, and the mountain doesn't look too safe. Let's go down the mountain." It was Zhong Chu who spoke. As soon as his proposal came out, everyone immediately agreed.

For the sake of safety, everyone divided into small teams of two or three and prepared to walk towards the foot of the mountain.

However, at this moment, a gust of cool wind blew by, and the sound of crying "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" suddenly sounded, and everyone's hearts were chilled...

The author has something to say: I originally thought about the night shift next week, and I can have a lot of time code words during the day, but I don’t know if they are all replaced by day shifts, and I don’t know if there will be night shifts in the future ╮(╯_╰)╭
