The whole city is my old attack

"Did you read yesterday's news? There's a dismemberment case!"

Xie Shiyu was sitting on his seat, copying the English homework that Chu Feng had written.

Hearing the discussion of his classmates, he didn't stop writing, his tone was casual, and he was a little surprised:

"Ah? When did it happen?"

"Just yesterday morning! I found it in the southern suburbs!"

"Oh my God!" Another female classmate terrified:

"That's not far from us, it's scary... Has the prisoner been caught?"

"How could it be so fast. It will take some time for the police to solve the case, and..."

That classmate said grimly:

"Maybe, the murderer will not be caught in the end, and it will become a famous unsolved case in our city and even in the whole country!"

"impossible."

Xie Shiyu, who was sitting at the back table, said while copying homework:

"A major vicious case like this will definitely attract attention."

Female classmate: "That's right. A special task force will definitely be set up for this kind of murder and dismemberment case. Now that technology is so advanced, it might be caught in a few days. Instead, it's that kind of petty theft case, the amount is too small I don’t bother to care about it, and it’s nothing in the end.”

"What are you talking about?"

Chu Feng came over.He just brought the last quiz paper from the teacher's office and was about to hand it out.

Female classmate: "The dismemberment case reported yesterday. Have you read it?"

Chu Feng: "...um."

Watching TV last night, his father wanted to watch this kind of rule of law news, and his mother asked him to listen to the English channel as usual, and finally the two had a big fight.Chu Feng only read the beginning of the case report.

"We were guessing when we caught the prisoner," Xie Shiyu said.

He returned Chu Feng's homework to him, turned around and began to "polish" the homework he had copied: randomly picked out a few questions, and changed them to wrong answers.

The state and expression are extremely natural.

Female classmate: "I think the murderer will be caught soon."

"...Not necessarily."

Chu Feng handed over the quiz to the representative of the English class at the front desk, opened the seat by himself, and sat back:

"It seems to have happened before..."

Female classmate: "What? A dismemberment case? No way! Then, isn't this a series of dismemberment and murder...?"

Chu Feng: "I also... don't remember very clearly. It seems that when I was in elementary school, there was a case where corpse parts were used to tie knots."

"Well, I remembered, the red plastic rope dismemberment case." Xie Shiyu closed the copied homework and answered the conversation very naturally.

Another classmate: "Yes! I remember that case. It was said that a red plastic rope was used to tie a knot on the corpse. The knot was tied in a very strange way. But the murderer has not been caught until now!"

Female classmate: "Ah! Stop talking, my skin is going to stand up!"

Jingle, jingle—

The class bell rang in time, and the English teacher walked in with high-heeled shoes.

The students were not really interested in news about the rule of law. Following the boring English quiz, the dismemberment case was quickly forgotten by them.

Xie Shiyu yawned on the first day of the new year. He rested his chin and looked at the words on the blackboard. The letter tadpoles were swimming in the dark green sea.

"Xie Shiyu! Look at you, how many times have you failed the quiz, huh?"

The English teacher came down and picked up Xie Shiyu's 45-point quiz:

"Last time I said that those who failed five times should be punished, class representative—look at Xie Shiyu how many times."

The representative of the male English class at the front desk took out the registration form in due course, and Xie Shiyu's name was crossed out: Zheng

"Teacher, five times."

"Okay, let Xie Shiyu perform an English song for us before class today, and if he fails the next time, he will continue to perform until he passes the quiz!"

There was laughter all around again.Chu Feng sighed softly beside him.

Xie Shiyu didn't hesitate to refuse, he got up, stood on the podium according to the teacher's request, and sang generously:

"Two two tigers, two two tigers, run run fast..."

English teacher: "Twotiger【s】!!!"

Xie Shiyu: "Oh."

——The students below laughed even harder.Chu Feng sat among them and shook his head helplessly, with a slight smile on his lips.

The sun was just right then.

When Xie Shiyu returned to his seat, he saw the English class representative lying on the registration form, offsetting the orthographic characters behind his name.

If you sing "Punishment" once, one bar will disappear, and if you fail the test again, another bar will be added.The small test paper at hand was full of circles drawn by the teacher's red pen, one circle after another, like flesh and blood strewn across the white paper.

Sitting in the classroom in the sunshine, Xie Shiyu once again remembered the 37 orthographic words he wrote down in his notebook.

In the end, those straight numbers became 37 pieces of meat on a rainy night in the southern suburbs.

When I was a child, I felt that my father was as tall as a mountain, and my mother was a demon who could not escape no matter how much she resisted and struggled. In fact, it was nothing more than that.

"... Xie Shiyu... Xie Shiyu."

"Ok?"

Xie Shiyu came back to his senses, and Chu Feng beside him was frowning at him:

"Why have you been distracted recently, here you are."

Chu Feng handed Xie Shiyu his quiz with full marks so that he could correct the quiz that he failed.

"Oh, thanks."

Xie Shiyu took out a red pen and copied stroke by stroke, the bright red reflected blood in his vision.

"You really killed him."

In my mind, the voice spoke again:

"Uncle knew you would do this, Xiao Yu."

Gee.

Xie Shiyu paused, and the tip of the pen blurred a small red dot on the paper.

"What are you talking about?"

The 13-year-old Xiao Chu Feng looked at Xiao Xie with a little displeasure: "I kindly corrected the quiz for you, so don't return it to me."

He reached out to take back his little test paper...

Xie Shiyu flipped his hand over and pressed Chu Feng's hand, preventing him from taking it:

"I'm not tsk you."

Chu Feng freed his suppressed hand: "Let go."

"Don't let it go."

Xie Shiyu applied force slowly while correcting the quiz. His palm was pressed against the back of Chu Feng's hand, smooth and slightly cool.It was so comfortable that he couldn't bear to let go.

Chu Feng shook his hand vigorously. His strength was weaker than Xie Shiyu's, so he couldn't break free, and could only be obediently pressed down on the desk by Xie Shiyu's hand.

"Xie Shiyu, what are you doing!"

The English teacher on the podium saw it clearly, she stepped down and pressed on step by step:

"Why are you pressing Chu Feng's hand?"

The whole class swished and turned to look at the two of them.

Chu Feng: "..."

Under the eyes of everyone, Chu Feng felt that his pressed hand was heating up. Xie Shiyu didn't let go of him, and he couldn't take it back...

The surrounding atmosphere is a bit teasing.Chu Feng pretended not to realize that he lowered his head firmly and stared at the English exercise book, as if he could turn it into a word and indent it into the cloze.

Xie Shiyu raised his head and answered unhurriedly:

"Teacher, I'm correcting the quiz. By the way, I will absorb the power of student Chu Feng's mastery. I will definitely pass the test next time!"

The surrounding students laughed out loud.

"If you have time to be superstitious, why don't you memorize a few more words for me!"

Bang——The English teacher knocked Xie Shiyu on the head with a rolled exercise book:

"Okay, everyone, open the workbook and fill in the blanks. Let me check the answers..."

,

A red tick crosses ten clozes to fill in the blanks, all correct.

Holding the red pen in his right hand, Chu Feng checked and corrected the answers, and moved his left hand:

"Hey, when are you going to press?"

Xie Shiyu: "The world is old."

Chu Feng rolled his eyes: "Be careful, you will always fail the quiz."

Xie Shiyu laughed, and after correcting the last wrong word, he let go of his strength a little. Chu Feng took advantage of the situation and was about to withdraw his hand. When he was about to withdraw, Xie Shiyu suddenly stretched out his hand and shook him——

And soon let go completely.

Chu Feng quickly withdrew his hand. After a while, he quietly went to see Xie Shiyu. This guy was opening an exercise book that was completely blank, filling in ABCD randomly, as if nothing had happened:

"Lend me to copy your English homework tomorrow."

"You do it yourself!"

The 13-year-old Chu Feng stamped his English exercise book a little angrily.

Sometimes he felt that the intimacy with Xie Shiyu could be further improved, and sometimes he felt that maybe he was thinking too much. The boy at the diagonally opposite table hugged and hugged me every day.

At the turn of spring and summer, the green trees outside the classroom window are lush, and the little sparrows are chirping on the branches, mixed with the early summer cicadas, cicadas—cicadas—, dragging for a long time.

After school.

The setting sun dyed half of the sky blood-colored, walking in the red-orange light, the thick black shadow was elongated.

"It's kind of like a magic hour."

Chu Feng: "What?"

"Don't you know?" Xie Shiyu was carrying a light schoolbag, and all the textbooks were thrown in the school drawer. He walked briskly:

"Dawn and dusk are the times when the dead are the most."

Chu Feng has indeed heard this kind of saying, the change of morning and evening, the alternation of yin and yang, are relatively fierce moments:

"When did you become so superstitious?"

"It's not superstitious, it's called conforming to the current situation." 13-year-old Xie Shiyu said clearly:

"Since these times are not auspicious, on the other hand, if you choose this time to do bad things, maybe you can get twice the result with half the effort."

"..." Chu Feng: "It's really nonsensical."

"Hahaha. Let's go - remember to borrow me to copy homework tomorrow."

Little Chu Feng: "I won't lend you!"

Xie Shiyu didn't care about it, because he knew that Chu Feng would borrow him to copy it tomorrow if he thought he was upright. The 13-year-old Xie Shiyu waved to Chu Feng, turned around and walked into the fork on the left.

Chu Feng stood on the spot and stopped for a while, remembering when they were leaving school in elementary school.

The school has changed and the roads have changed, but he and Xie Shiyu leave school together. If they can't walk a street or two, they will definitely encounter a fork in the road. Xie Shiyu must go left, and he must go right. They will never be together go home after school.

Xie Shiyu lived in an old residential building in Xicheng District, while Chu Feng lived in a high-end Huayuan community in the city center.The directions are completely different, and we can only travel together for a short distance, and we must part ways.

This feeling made Chu Feng a little uncomfortable. He thought that in high school three years later, with his current grades, he would definitely be recommended to the city's key points. By then, where would Xie Shiyu be?

"Hey—Chu Feng! You guys are out of school too?"

Chu Feng turned his head and saw the annoying Sun Bing, who was assigned to the next class in junior high school:

"I heard that you are also going to the provincial competition on June [-]st?"

"Ah."

Chu Feng responded, and walked forward without interest. He couldn't go home from school with Xie Shiyu. The person who walked with him every day was Sun Bing, and he had been like this since elementary school.

Sun Bing: "Are you going to perform the piano?"

Chu Feng: "Yes."

Sun Bing: "I went too, I went to perform saxophone!"

Chu Feng knew what this guy wanted to hear, and said casually, "Wow, amazing."

"Where is it? It's not as good as you. By the way, I heard that your mother took you to participate in the international DW music competition last time? What a pity, I happened to be at that time... Otherwise..."

Chu Feng rolled his eyes inwardly, praying to get home soon so that he could pay respects to Sun Bing.

,

Tick--

"I am back."

Chu Feng opened the electronic access control combination lock and walked into the house.

"Oh, you're back, your mother won't be back to cook for a while."

On the sofa, Dad was reading the newspaper with his legs crossed, while the evening news was broadcast on the TV.

Chu Feng went straight to the second floor of the duplex house, ready to go back to the bedroom to study.

While going up the stairs, he suddenly heard the TV report in the living room:

"At present, the police have found all the body parts, and the preliminary speculation is that the time of death is three days ago, between 17:19 and [-]:[-]."

Chu Feng paused.

The light of the setting sun came in from the window, casting a blood-red color on the stairs.

17-19 o'clock.

When the 13-year-old Chu Feng heard this time, he suddenly thought of what Xie Shiyu said:

Dusk, the hour of magic.
