Chapter 28 Gathering Yindi
Liu Shangang and I naturally followed Nan Shixiao, which is the most dangerous place my master said.
I also heard Liu Shangang say afterwards that Nan Shijiao seemed to have a muddy swamp in his early years. Later, because there were too many children in school, the city filled the swamp and built a primary school on it.
Before it became a swamp here, it was a relatively large river in the county called Yaoyingzi River. Why is it called Yaoyingzi River? It is because, at that time, if a family died, they would make a small boat, put the dead baby on the boat, and push it into the river.
I don’t know when this custom exists in our county, and I don’t know when this custom disappeared. Liu Shangang also heard about the Yaoyingzi River from his grandfather. He also said that sending dead babies into this river means sending them to the Huangquan Road, so that these children who died early before they opened their eyes were reincarnated as soon as possible.
I think my master probably has heard of the allusion of Yaoyingzihe.
On the day I moved to school, as soon as I entered the school gate of Nanshi Primary School, I felt a heavy yin energy. In the past two years, although I have not yet reached the state of thinking and subsistence, my perception of the two auras of yin and yang is more sensitive than before.
Although the Yin Qi in the school is strong, it condenses but does not gather.
Indeed, condensing but not gathering is just a general saying, after all, things like Yin Qi are invisible and intangible. To put it vividly, the Yin Qi is like a large black cloud, circling slowly in the sky of the school, and it seems to be slowly gathering together in the flow, but whenever they are about to gather, there is an invisible force that breaks them into small pieces and leads them to a farther distance.
I know that the yin energy in this place should be suppressed by something.
Yin Qi like this cannot be of any kind. In addition, there are many people in the school and heavy yang Qi, it is even more unlikely to have any impact on ordinary people.
So I am still the same as usual, in class and after school, I am still in the same class, my deskmate, and the nagging Liu Shangang.
One thing that has to be said is that in the two years since I was eight to ten, Liu Shangang's appearance has changed a lot. I still remember that my master always called him "Little Fatty", but now Liu Shangang has become very thin. This is probably because when he grows up, his nutrition is not keeping up, so his fat little body has become thinner and thinner.
But this is just my guess. To this day, Liu Shangang is still very thin and he eats a lot. But no matter how much he eats, I have never seen him grow much meat. In addition, Liu Shangang's appearance has also changed a little. I remember that he was a treacherous man when he was a child, with a very attractive look. But from that time on, I always felt that he had become a bit stingy, with a pointed chin with a small eyes, and a pair of large, large ears that attract wind, but a little hunched back.
Even the way he spoke always showed a sense of petty spirit. Yes, to use a more popular word in the past few years to describe Liu Shangang, it is just a vulgarity.
So now, acquaintances often ask me: "Why is your buddy so easy to get so angry? It's so despicable at first glance."
Lao Liu, don’t blame me, I’m telling the truth. You should also know what others think of you, and I know you don’t care about these things.
It was during that time that I gave Liu Shangang a relatively vivid nickname: Skinny Monkey, which has been used by me to this day.
The days were quite peaceful in the first two weeks after the school moved, until mid-August, when a heavy rain in the midsummer broke the peace above the school.
Logically speaking, at this time, it was supposed to be summer vacation, but that year the school built an Olympiad class, which wanted to train a group of top Olympiad students during the summer vacation. Unfortunately, Liu Shangang and I were both selected. Because of my master, I had good academic performance in elementary school, especially mathematics. My master was very careful about my subject, saying that if I had learned mathematics well, small arithmetic will be simpler, although I have not seen what the relationship between small arithmetic and mathematics is.
As for Liu Shangang, because I was comparing, his father began to fight against his exam results, so Liu Shangang's scores were also rising through his father's various hardships.
At that time, Liu Shangang and I were both naughty and stubborn students to the teacher, but we were the students with the best study and the most stable grades in the class. So I always thought that when the class teacher saw us, his mood must have been particularly complicated.
In fact, later facts proved that the academic performance that was hard to achieve in such a hard work cannot last long. When I arrived in junior high school, Liu Shangang's academic performance gradually fell. But I didn't, and there was nothing I could do about it. My master was too fierce, and Liu Shangang's father was incomparable.
That day, as usual, I was doing a previous Olympiad Mathematical Olympiad test in the classroom. The question was not only astonishingly difficult, but also the question stems of many questions were very distorted. I had to read and figure it out many times before I could fully understand the meaning of the question.
After finishing this test question, it is undoubtedly a huge torment for me.
Just as I was working hard to study a test question, thunder suddenly sounded over the school.
Bang—
The sound was very dull and heavy, not like thunder, but more like something was broken by someone in our school.
After the thunder, raindrops immediately floated in the sky. The rain came very quickly. In just a few seconds, the tiny raindrops turned into a pouring rain, just like a huge basin that kept pouring water on the top of the teaching building. The stirring splashes made the classroom windows blur.
And as the heavy rain fell, my heart also tightened.
The yin energy surrounding the school actually gathered in a ball at a very fast speed, and drifted to the northwest corner of the school playground along the southeast wind blowing raindrops.
Even I can realize that something big is going to happen!
I immediately stood up, opened the window and watched towards the northwest corner of the playground. I couldn't see the yin energy, but I could feel it. After floating to the northwest corner of the playground, the yin energy actually spread at a very fast speed and soon spread throughout the school.
This time, the yin energy was not dispersed, but became increasingly dense as it spreads.
The rain splashed into the classroom from the window. My clothes and the test papers on my desk were quickly soaked.
The teacher who was tutoring for our Olympiad mathematics at that time was surnamed Zhai or Wei. I can’t remember it clearly. I only remember that he was very loud and was stunned when he saw me standing in front of the window. Teacher Zhai, let’s call Teacher Zhai for now and shouted at me: “Zuo Kang, what are you doing! Close the window!”
As soon as he finished shouting, the lights in the classroom suddenly flashed twice, and then they went out.
This scared the female classmates in the class, and I heard someone screaming.
If it was an ordinary power outage, it would not make people feel this level of fear. I believe that the rest of the class at that time should have felt the sensation of yin energy. Although they would not be as direct as I felt it, they would feel it after all.
At this time, Liu Shangang, who was sitting next to me, pushed me with his arm and said timidly: "Brother, why do I feel something is wrong?"
Liu Shangang was also afraid. When he called me, he always called me "Hey, hey, who else?" Only when he was nervous would he call me brother.
I closed the window and looked at Liu Shangang, but did not respond to his words. At this time, I understood a little why my master always looked evasive when he talked about the flying zombie. It was really hard to explain something like this.
The sudden power outage seemed to make Teacher Zhai's mood solemn. I stood by the window and looked at him. He stood on the podium and looked at me. We just looked at each other silently. I felt that Teacher Zhai seemed to want to speak, but he just opened his mouth, but his loud voice on weekdays was silent at this time.
Finally, I said, "Teacher, why don't we get out of school."
Teacher Zhai was stunned for a moment, then waved to the classmates in the class: "Study after school, after school."
With his words, the students in the class immediately couldn't sit still. There were two doors in the classroom, and everyone rushed out like frightened mice. Teacher Zhai also left the classroom with us.
That day, the weather forecast did not say there would be heavy rain. Almost everyone did not bring rain gear. Everyone was wet and rushed to the school gate.
The gate of Experimental Primary School is a very thick red iron door. It is usually open at this point in time, but on this day, the door was closed. Not only did it close, but it was locked outside.
Teacher Zhai came to the door and pushed it hard twice. The door swayed gently twice, and then there was no movement. Then Teacher Zhai ran to the security room and looked at it, but there was no one.
Now, in the entire school, only Teacher Zhai and our class of elementary school students are left.
I remember that it was about two thousand years before the walls of Experimental Primary School were converted into metal fences. However, in 1997, the four walls of the school were solid walls made of bricks and cement. In order to prevent outsiders from crawling secretly, there were anti-theft glass breaks on the top of the wall.
Such a wall and a large iron gate more than three meters high blocked us tightly in the school.
Teacher Zhai tried climbing the school gate, but the gate of our school was bare and there was no place to borrow strength. Now it was rained again, and the whole door panel was very slippery. After trying it a few times, Teacher Zhai had to give up the idea of climbing the door.
I kept standing behind the crowd, and I saw the tension and anxiety of Teacher Zhai and other classmates throughout the whole process.
