Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 7 Leaving Home
When I received the notice, my father didn't say anything, but just told me that I had to stick to the path I chose.

"Your son has been admitted to university. It's not a good university, but it's not bad, although you can't see it anymore." I also felt very worried when I saw my father crying in front of my mother's grave.

The year my mother passed away, my father seemed to be ten years old. I borrowed a lot of money for medical expenses. I am going to college again, and my tuition fees are not small.Fortunately, God is fair, the grain harvest was good last year, otherwise, I am afraid I will drop out of school.

"Mom, don't worry down here, I will definitely study hard and find a good job, so you should reincarnate early." I said in my heart.

"Son, come on!"

I don't know if I'm hallucinating, or I hope to hear the same, my mother's voice rang in my ears.

When I got on the train, my father didn't come to see me off, saying that the crops were going to be sprayed, and it would be impossible to spray them if it rained.In fact, I know that he is reluctant to see me go, and he is the only old man left in the family.

"Didn't your father come to see you off?" Sun Jing opened a bowl of instant noodles beside her and said.

"No, I didn't let him come, I said, you start eating as soon as you get in the car?"

"I didn't eat anything in the morning, and I feel sick to my stomach." I sighed softly, and took her face to fetch the boiling water.When I came back, I saw a man standing by the car door. He was about thirty years old, with a mustache and one-string eyebrows.Immortal, thinking, isn't this the real version of Uncle Ying?If you wear a Taoist uniform, there will definitely be a bunch of people around asking for autographs.

"There's a man in the car door who looks like Uncle Ying."

"Who is Uncle Ying?" Sun Jing, with a chicken claw in her mouth, seemed to be focusing on the instant noodles.I didn't bother to explain, I just looked up at my hometown that was getting farther and farther outside the window, the chimneys of the paper mill, the stretches of birch forests, and the mysterious black ditch.

The train has already arrived on the Songhua River, and after crossing this bridge, it will enter Harbin.Looking at the river from a distance, this is the only obstacle between me and Sun Jing.

"In a while, help me take my luggage to the dormitory before you can leave, okay?" Sun Jing made another bowl of noodles at some point.

"Why do you still eat after getting off the bus? You are in Jiangnan, I will deliver your luggage to Jiangbei, when will it be? Let's talk." Before I finished speaking, Sun Jing stopped her movements and used A very terrifying look looked at me.

"Besides, if I don't want to help you send it, what if your wolf-like seniors take advantage of it?" I changed the witty words and quickly apologized.

Seeing my hippie smiling face, she burst out laughing, don't say, this smile makes me feel happy.Suddenly I remembered that my father said that my mother looked good when she was young.

Just with this smile alone, I can't let you get hurt in this life.I thought silently in my heart, the train had already pulled into the station, and I was carrying Sun Jing's huge suitcase, which almost shone my waist. I'm afraid there were two corpses in the suitcase.

I hurried to her school, helped her pack her luggage, and thought about going back to school to see what my school was like.On the contrary, Sun Jing took her time, telling me to set rules for me, not to talk to other girls and so on.I also listened without saying a word, thinking, we are so far apart, you can't see it.

When she was leaving, she mysteriously took out a yellow paper triangle from her pocket. No matter how I looked at it, it looked like the yellow talisman on TV.She said it was a safety talisman she asked for when she was traveling on vacation, and she put it around my neck after she finished speaking, and almost strangled me.

"I say take it easy, auntie."

"Don't forget to take it off when you take a shower. Also, you need to call me, or you will understand." I saw her pinching her fingers, with a little cuteness in her terror, and she came upstairs to kiss her With one bite, she blushed like a monkey's butt.

"Someone saw it!" After finishing speaking, a girl came in from the door. She should be about 1.7 meters five and had a caliper shaved.If it wasn't for his good looks, I would have thought it was a man.

"Okay, I'm leaving, please be well." After finishing speaking, she walked out, and Sun Jing insisted on sending me out of the school gate.

He took a taxi and rushed to Jiangbei's school.I held the yellow talisman in my hand and looked at it carefully. This rough yellow paper reminded me of yellow paper money.Sometimes men are like this, they pretend not to care on the surface, but they are flattered in their hearts.

Harbin Jiangbei means the north bank of the Songhua River. In recent years, Harbin's efforts to develop the Jiangbei area, to use a popular saying back then, were quite powerful at that time.High-rise buildings rose from the ground, all kinds of business services, the construction of communities, and the settlement of branch campuses of famous schools made the originally barren Jiangbei become full of vitality.

My school is in these buildings.

When I got out of the car, I was still a little shocked. The taxi driver's driving skills were really admirable.I dragged my suitcase and looked around like a country bumpkin entering the city, looking for a dormitory.After a while, I was lost.

Speaking of such a big school, why doesn’t it even have a road sign? I muttered to myself, and suddenly saw a tall girl arguing with her boyfriend not far away. I didn’t understand what was said before, but the last sentence I I heard.

"Stop messing with me, I'm going back to the dormitory." After speaking, he turned around and left, and I quickly followed, finally finding the dormitory this time.

As I was walking, the tall slender woman in front suddenly quickened her pace, and I had no choice but to follow quickly.At the next corner, she suddenly turned her head and asked me why I followed her. I almost thought she was blind because she rolled her eyes.

"I registered as a freshman, but I couldn't find the dormitory. I heard you said that I would go back to the dormitory, so I thought about following you. Don't get me wrong!"

"Hey mom, you scared me so much, just say it straight, you look like a pervert, go, senior sister will take you to the dormitory." Seeing that it was a misunderstanding, her attitude eased immediately.The advantage of a girl from the Northeast is that she is straightforward and unpretentious, and I smiled and thanked her as I walked forward behind her ass.

"My name is Jiang Chun, what's your name?"

"Just call me Thirteen."

"What a bad name? Your father named it for you?" I smiled awkwardly and nodded, but I can't blame her for that.

"The men's dormitory is in the front, don't follow others anymore. Recently, there is a rumor that there is a stalker in the university town here. Several girls have been harassed, and one even jumped off the building?" Jiang Chun said dancing. , although exaggerated, but not like a joke.

"Understood, Sister Chun, I'll treat you to dinner when I have time."

"Come on, I'm narrow-minded, bye bye." After speaking, she walked into the women's dormitory with her long legs swinging.

I looked at Jiang Chun, and the figure of my domineering second aunt unexpectedly appeared in my mind.

My second aunt's name is Zhong Xiaoyan. I really wonder if my second aunt is a descendant of Zhong Wuyan, who can do all kinds of dirty work.Compared with the second aunt, the second uncle is a bit more sissy, but the second uncle is an intellectual, he doesn't listen to things outside the window, and only reads sage books.

When I came to the dormitory, I found that there was no one in it, and wondered if I had come early.After a closer look, it turned out that it was late, and there was only one bed left.

The bedroom is a four-person bedroom, with a table below and bunks above.I threw my things on the table and crawled into bed to rest, what looked like the most walking day of my life.Just about to fall asleep, someone opened the door and came in.

"Hey, come on buddy, why are you so late?" The man who spoke was a tall and strong boy. When I saw him, the first thing I thought of was a sports student.

"I'm helping my partner deliver the luggage, but I'm late."

"Oh, my name is Sun Hao, his name is Zhao Bo, and the inner one is called Fatty." As he spoke, he pointed to the two people who had just entered the room behind him.

"I have a good name, my name is Zhou Peng!" The fat man kicked Sun Hao, turned his head and introduced himself to me.

"My name is Zhong Shisan, just call me Shisan." I said with a smile, "What are you doing here?"

"Going to play, the court almost didn't start playing just now." The fat man slowly thought about what happened just now.

Originally, the three of them planned to use sports to promote friendship, but after a while, a few boys came and said that they wanted to play together, and they just played. Unexpectedly, the few boys in the ball played very dirty, and they quarreled.Later, the girlfriend of one of the men came and took him away, and the matter was settled.

"If it wasn't for his good-looking partner and the ability to talk, I'd have to beat him up."

"You can pull it off, you just packed up and went home without a class all day?" Sun Hao hurriedly stopped the fat man from talking nonsense.

"Hey, let's go out to have a meal together tonight, and we'll have to be together for three years, don't grab anyone, I've arranged it!" From the label on Sun Hao's sneakers, I can tell that his family The economic strength must not be bad, so I didn't say anything.

I don't know what Sun Jing is doing now, so I took out my "big brick" and sent her a message. After waiting for a while, I didn't receive a reply. I felt sleepy and fell asleep in a daze.

At night, students are everywhere on the neon-lit "Barbecue Street".A few of us found a "Saijiang Jiangnan BBQ City" and sat down.

"There are so many people tonight. It's so hard to make a skewer. It's better to go home." Everyone nodded in agreement. It turns out that except for Sun Hao, who is from Harbin, none of them are from Harbin.

Fatty is from JMS and Zhao Bo is from Dandong.As soon as the food was served, Zhao Bo kept mumbling that it wasn't as delicious as the ones from his hometown. Because of his accent, I didn't understand a few words.

Soon the three dozen beers were all swept away by us, and Sun Hao drank a little with his tongue, so he asked the waiter for another dozen.Someone behind me spoke to me, and when I looked back, it turned out to be Jiang Chun.

"Student, you guys have a lot to drink. Come on, have a drink with your sister." Jiang Chun is the kind of girl who is carefree. I drank with her awkwardly. I saw that they should be a dormitory party, but there was someone on the table watching. Looks very familiar.Eh?Isn't this the tomboy in Sun Jing's bedroom?She also glanced at me, then lowered her head to eat the meat skewers on the plate.

"Eh? Shisan, do you know her?" I told them about my experience at noon, and it turned out that Jiang Chun was the man who almost got into a fight with them.Not only did I sigh, the world is really small!No, this school is really small!
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, we were all drunk, and Sun Hao drank the most. He vomited several times in the restaurant and lay down in the toilet and refused to leave.A few of us sent him to a taxi, and we withdrew after paying the bill.The kid agreed that he would pay the bill, but it turned out that Zhou Peng paid the bill. Zhou Peng cursed and said that the kid was too careless, and we nodded in agreement with a smile.

Zhao Bo, the best drinker, said he would go all night, and asked if we would go, and I said I was sleepy.After saying goodbye to each other, I planned to walk back on the road alone.Walking and walking, I saw the tomboy I met at the dinner table, we looked at each other, I nodded to say hello, she also nodded awkwardly.

"Where is Sister Chun? You are not together."

"Oh, they said they were going to sing, I didn't really want to go, so I left first." I drank a little too much, and thought her voice was very nice, so I greeted her and sent her to the taxi and wanted to go back to the dormitory.The dormitory is not far away, but as I walked, I felt something was wrong.

When I came here, I clearly remembered that there were street lights, but when I went back, why was the road so dark?And it's kind of scary to be quiet.Thinking of those strange encounters before, my wine is half sober.After carefully observing the surroundings, this is the road before, where did I go?
There are no buildings around, and the land is overgrown with weeds. If you look closely, there seem to be a few houses with lights on in the distance.When people are in the dark, they will naturally walk towards places with light.I staggered and walked towards the place where the lights were. The temperature at night was also terribly low, and the gusts of cool wind completely blew away my drunkenness.I continued to walk towards the light with my mind full of questions, and suddenly the light went out.I stood where I was, completely bewildered.

Just as I was thinking about what to do quickly, someone behind me seemed to be talking to me.

"Go back! Quick!"

I turned around and saw nothing. Since I couldn't go forward, I just walked back.

As we walked, the surrounding area lit up, and various noisy voices rang out.I was back at the intersection where I parted from Tomboy, who had just stepped into the car.Before getting in the car, she turned her head and smiled at me. I didn't understand what this sweet smile meant, and suddenly remembered that the voice that spoke to me just now was that of a tomboy.

I suspect that I must have drunk too much, so let's take a taxi and go back.

That night, I had a dream. In the dream, the "tomboy" was wearing Taoist robes, holding a copper coin sword, chanting words, surrounded by things that looked like zombies and rushed towards her, and she directly used a big move They all went out, and then smiled at me.

This smile woke me up.

Sun Hao also asked me if I had a dream and smiled so happily. Several people were wearing camouflage uniforms, and I remembered that I was going to military training. My head hurt like hell, so I gritted my teeth and got up.

Military training, for people like me who are unwilling to move, is simply a kind of torture.For a whole week, I was sunburned and peeled off a layer of skin.

After the military training is over, I have three days off, and it takes a day and a half to go home and back, so I might as well stay in school.Sun Jing clamored for me to go shopping with her, but after we met, I found out that she was darker than me, and I laughed at her all day long.As a result, the inside of my arm was bruised and purple again.

In the mall, she kept telling me how unreasonable the design of their school was, with not even a road sign in sight.There were also words like how shy the instructors were and how their faces turned red when teased by them.But I kept thinking about the "tomboy's" smile, as if it had some meaning.

"what are you thinking?"

"No, I miss you. When will you turn white?" She glared at me and said that I was lying, so I didn't ask if I didn't want to say it.Sometimes I really feel that the sixth sense of girls is really super strong.

When I got back to school from Central Avenue, I was really exhausted, but I was still thinking about the goodbye before, so happy.

"It's a disaster for a girl in our school to be followed by a boy," Sun Hao said as soon as he came in.

"real or fake?"

"Really, the police are here. I heard what they said when I passed by the women's dormitory just now." Sun Hao's words made me a little worried about Sun Jing. I was grateful for picking up my phone and sending a message telling her not to wander around at night. Now there's a stalker out there.She texted back saying not to worry, she was now enrolled in Taekwondo classes.

"Who do you think no one has seen so many people?" Sun Hao said to the fat man, but the fat man ignored him.What the fuck, my old man, what can he do to me?

I wondered, why did this pervert pick up our school?
"Eh? Thirteen, don't you have classes? Why don't you go?"

Fuck, I forgot.I haven't adapted to the way of teaching at the university. One classroom and another classroom made my head feel big. I dressed in a hurry, washed my face, and went to class.

I major in civil engineering, and I don't know why I chose a major, maybe it's because there are too many people.The teacher's lectures are also boring. I basically draw pictures on the textbook for two hours.

"Why did you draw a paper man?"

A voice next to me woke me up, who was about to fall asleep. Sitting next to me was a girl with thick glasses, looking at me with strange eyes.

"What paper figurine? The one I drew is the teacher!" I said while pointing to the big mop on the painting, and there was a hair drawn on the mop.

"You can pull it down, it's obviously a paper figurine." I took a closer look and it did look a bit like the paper figurines in the paper making shop. Maybe it's because I really don't know how to draw, and I'm too lazy to explain to her, after all Everyone's aesthetic vision is different.

"You will be good at making paper figurines in the future, haha!" I looked at her teeth with contempt, thinking that you must be an excellent dentist in the future, what kind of civil engineering is a girl studying.

Finally it was over, everyone left the classroom one after another, I put the book in the bag, and then went out.Before I went out, I heard someone yelling: The stalker is caught, the police are here, hurry up and take a look!Everyone rushed out like a swarm, and I followed to see the excitement.

The police cars have already arrived and surrounded the unbuilt library.The loudspeaker was still yelling something like come out and surrender, and more and more people gathered together to watch the fun, but there was no sign of the stalker.

A small group of armed police has rushed in, and when we were thinking about how to run this time, a black shadow hit the fourth floor and fell.I fell heavily on the police car, the entire roof was dented, and the girls around me screamed, almost piercing my eardrum.

"Hey, it's so scary!" I looked at the short and fat girl beside me and burst into tears, thinking, I can't see clearly at my height, what can you look at.

The ambulance came after a while, and the stalker who was thrown to death on the spot was put into a bag by the forensic doctor. I clearly remember that this person was holding something tightly in his hand, which was a bit like yellow paper.The police came and drove us away, and I didn't think it was interesting, but at least I didn't have to worry about Sun Jing.

However, a strange thing happened that night. Not long after we turned off the lights, an ambulance came and stopped downstairs in the women's dormitory.

The next day, I learned that the woman was fine and was washing, when she suddenly smashed the bathroom mirror with her fist like crazy.Then he slit his wrist with a shard of the mirror.

Thinking of the yellow talisman in the stalker's hand, I felt something was wrong. Could it be that the man did something before he died?I don't understand the reason, so I simply don't think about it.

I didn't have any class today, so I took the car to find Sun Jing to play, but she called me, said she had class, and hung up immediately.Maybe she was a little upset, so I just stayed in the dormitory by myself for a day.

I got out of the car again in a state of shock, paid the fare, and walked to the dormitory tremblingly.

Suddenly I saw a white shadow getting into the uncovered library.Out of curiosity, I followed him. Bai Ying was so fast that he lost track of him after turning a few stairs.Thinking about this person who had just died, I felt a little guilty, why don't I go back.

I turned around and walked down again, but after walking several floors in a row, I found something was wrong. When I first came up, it seemed that I had only walked two or three floors. Why haven't I seen the exit yet?A word suddenly appeared in my mind: ghost hits the wall.
