1987 My Era

Chapter 221, Opportunity, Xiao Han's surprise attack (Please subscribe!)
After the key incident, the atmosphere between Li Heng and Mai Sui seemed to ease a lot for some reason. One was eating while the other was chatting, and they were getting along very harmoniously.

He asked, "I remember you didn't have classes on Monday afternoon, right?"

Wheat said, “No.”

Li Heng said: "Then you stay here for a while and help me gather some people in this room. The weather is getting colder and it feels lonely to be alone. You can leave later."

His words were not perfunctory, nor were they meant to keep Mai Sui; they were sincere.

As the old saying goes: A large house with few people is not necessarily auspicious, as it may easily harbor ghosts.

The two floors are so spacious that it always feels a little lacking when living alone.

Mai Sui thought about it for a long time and finally agreed.

In the afternoon, Li Heng continued to read in the study room. Mai Sui followed him and flipped through the book for about 4 hours. Later, his eyes felt a little tired, so he put down the book and left Lushan Village to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

She went there alone, and when she came back, Teacher Yu was with her. They were talking and chatting. The two women met at the vegetable market.

When they reached the end of the alley, Mai Sui invited, "Teacher Yu, why don't you have dinner with us tonight? It will be more lively with more people."

Yu Shuheng instinctively looked up at the window of the study on the second floor, "Does he have time to cook?"

Teacher Yu's meaning was quite clear. If Li Heng cooked, she would eat it. But if Mai Sui cooked, forget it. One of them had not yet mastered the cooking skills, and the other was at the elementary level. It would be boring to cook together.

Before Mai Sui could answer, Li Heng poked his head out from the second floor and said, "Okay, Teacher Yu, you should empty your stomach first. I will treat you to a big meal later."

Yu Shuheng smiled and nodded, not being polite anymore.

Since it’s for two people, the dishes can be simple, just two or three will be enough.

With Teacher Yu's words in mind, Li Heng decided to show off his skills and made four main dishes and a three-fresh soup.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but at the dinner table, Teacher Yu and Mai Sui always have topics to talk about. But as soon as Li Heng started talking, Teacher Yu immediately spoke less than two-thirds of the words, which made him very depressed.

Does the other person hate me?

But this thought was extinguished again. With Mr. Yu's family background and talents, if he really hated me, he would not have interacted with me at all. Even if it was my high school English teacher who asked me to do so, it would be useless. He has the capital not to be perfunctory with me.

So, it is probably just Mr. Yu’s personality, he doesn’t like to talk nonsense.

The problem is, when she was chatting with other teachers and classmates in the teaching building, she was very friendly and smiled at everyone, and seemed very approachable.

Or is it that the other person simply can't stand your love life? Do you think you are a jerk?
Bah! I am not a scumbag. I am sincere to the three of them.

With a myriad of thoughts in his mind, just as he was listening to the two women chatting about the universe and the Andromeda Galaxy next door, a voice suddenly came from outside:
"Li Heng! Li Heng! Are you home?"

The shouting sounded a little urgent, it was the voice of a fake Taoist priest.

It was already dark. Li Heng put down his chopsticks and rushed to the door:
"Old Fu, what happened? Why are you so anxious and flustered?"

"Oh, don't mention it. It's a bad day today. I caught a dead fish. I'm out of money, paper and incense. Do you have any?"

The aroma of food wafted into the air, but for the first time ever, Lao Fu did not think of going into the house to eat and drink. Instead, he stood outside in the alley and asked.

It was as if something was attached to him and he was unwilling to bring it to Li Heng's house.

Li Heng took a step back unconsciously and replied, "I haven't used those things since I moved here, so I don't have any."

At this time, Yu Shuheng and Mai Sui also followed out.

Mai Sui asked in confusion: "Teacher Fu, how can a dead fish bite the hook?"

Hearing this, the fake Taoist priest turned back in shock and glanced towards the alley entrance, then said to Li Heng:

"You guys come with me to give me some courage. I'll go buy some money and paper. I'll come back later and tell you in detail."

Li Heng, Yu Shuheng and Mai Sui looked at each other, and finally he said, "Teacher Yu, Comrade Mai Sui, you two should stay together. Lao Fu and I will be back soon."

Yu Shuheng nodded, "Go ahead."

The two grown men didn't talk much on the road. One was using a flashlight to light the way, while the other was riding a bicycle at full speed.

Soon he came back with money, paper, and incense.

Back in Building No. 24, the fake Taoist priest performed a ritual in front of the three people.

It's no wonder that Fu Yanjie was dressed like a Taoist priest and chanted the scriptures in a very professional manner. His intonation was quite pleasant, like that of an old monk in a temple. His movements were also intricate and precise, more professional than the Taoist priests who performed funerals in the countryside.

Half an hour later, old Fu, who was sweating all over, finally spoke up: "The fishing started off very smoothly today. I caught crucian carp one after another, and I caught about four or five kilograms.

But as soon as it got dark, something went wrong. Not only did no fish take the bait for an hour or so, but in the end I even caught a dead fish.

The moment we caught the fish, it was chilly and the temperature seemed to have dropped a lot. I was so scared that my legs went limp and a chill went straight to the back of my head. How should I put it? It was as if there was something behind me. "

When talking about this, Lao Fu still seemed a little scared.

Yu Shuheng frowned and asked, "Old Fu, is there any explanation for this?"

Lao Fu nodded vigorously. "Teacher Yu, you don't fish, so you don't understand this. In our line of work, there's a saying: If a dead fish is biting, just put away the fishing rod and leave."

Seeing that the two women still didn't understand, Li Heng interrupted and said, "This is a water monkey trying to trade a dead fish with Lao Fu in order to kill him."

Mai Sui asked vaguely, "What was that thing that hung the dead fish up there?"

Li Heng said: "There is such a saying, but I don't know whether it is true or not."

In order not to scare her, Li Heng added: "It could just be that the fishhook happened to get caught."

Yu Shuheng pointed at the burned paper money and asked, "So, is this all right?"

Lao Fu ran outside to the alley to look at the alley entrance, and came back and said, "It should be fine. I sent him away."

It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but once he did, all three of them were shocked.

That night, Mai Sui did not return to the dormitory. Firstly, she was a little afraid of walking at night.

Second, she was worried about Li Heng renting a house alone.

Because she had heard Chen Zijin mention that this man was most afraid of two things: ghosts and snakes.

At 11: in the evening, Li Heng and Mai Sui, who were reading in the study, heard a knock on the door downstairs. They looked at each other and did not dare to move for a while.

About 10 seconds later, Li Heng plucked up the courage to go to the attic outside to check down, but Mai Sui grabbed his hand.

Mai Sui was obviously still living in the shadow of Lao Fu's "fishing for dead fish, water monkey". He shook his head at him silently, signaling him not to show his face outside.

Li Heng comforted in a low voice, "It's okay, I'll just take a look to see who's knocking on the door?"

Mai Sui couldn't help but hold his hand tighter and shook her head again.

Seeing her concerned expression, Li Heng reached out and patted the back of her hand, then sat next to her and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Don't be so nervous."

Mai Sui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they were stunned. First, they looked at each other's hands at the same time, and then they looked at each other at the same time. Their eyes met at close range, and it was surprisingly quiet.

After a long time, Mai Sui came to his senses and withdrew his hand in panic, picked up the book again, pretended to look down, and turned a page every once in a while.

She was really just pretending, because in Li Heng's sight, she was holding the book upside down, and the girl's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At first it was light red, then it became red, and then it became red. It was as if there were patches of peach blossoms blooming on her face. Under the dim light, it was instantly intoxicating, coupled with the unique inner charm, it was very alluring.

For a moment, you looked at me and I looked at the book. Except for our hearts pounding, we were both silent.

Li Heng didn't have the heart to remind her that she was holding the book upside down.

Perhaps Mai Sui had already realized that he was holding the book upside down, but he never corrected it. He stared at the book, not looking at him, just passing the time like that.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Li Heng, Li Heng."

At this moment, there was another knock on the door downstairs. In addition to the knock on the door, there was also shouting.

After listening for a while, Wheat Ear finally made a sound, turned his head and looked him in the eye and said:

"It seems to be Teacher Yu."

At this time, Li Heng had already stood up, "It's not like that, it is."

Having said that, he left the study and trotted all the way to the first floor.

Mai Sui put down the book and stood up.

But when she reached the door of the study, she stopped where she was, walked back and stared at the book she had just picked up for a long time, finally took a long breath and put the book straight.

Unbolt the door and open it.

Looking at each other through the crack of the door, Li Heng asked with concern: "Teacher, did something happen?"

Yu Shuheng looked behind him and asked, "You are alone at home, Mai Sui is not here?"

Before he could answer, footsteps were heard on the stairs, giving Teacher Yu the answer.

Three steps to two steps, two steps to one step, wheat ears came to the front in a hurry and called softly: "Teacher, you are looking for me."

His eyes wandered between the two of them for a few times. Yu Shuheng hesitated several times to speak, but finally said, "I have been awakened by the dream twice just now. Mai Sui, I will sleep with you tonight."

Hearing this, Li Heng immediately let Teacher Yu in, then stuck his head outside to take a look, only to find that everything he saw was pitch black.

Even the lights in Building 24 diagonally opposite were turned off.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Li Heng shivered instinctively. He quickly closed the door, inserted the bolt, and locked the upper and lower bolts that were usually not used.

Seeing this, Yu Shuheng said gently, "Li Heng, the gate of my courtyard is not closed yet."

Li Heng: “.”

As a last resort, he opened the door again, took the key, ran across the street, locked the gate, and ran back.

Going up to the second floor, Li Heng poured a cup of tea for the English teacher and couldn't help asking, "Teacher, what did you dream about?"

Recalling the scene just now, Yu Shuheng was still frightened. He took two sips of tea, calmed down and said, "Sleep paralysis."

After hearing this, Mai Sui subconsciously reached out to grab Li Heng's arm, but he only stretched out less than 5 centimeters before retracting it.

Li Heng asked: "Teacher, is it like being unable to speak or move, but very conscious, as if something is pressing on you? And having difficulty breathing?"

Yu Shuheng glanced at Mai Sui's right hand without leaving a trace, nodded and said yes, "The first time was half an hour ago, and it lasted for several minutes. I can't say the exact time. I was scared awake, and it took a long time before I fell asleep. I didn't expect that the feeling came back as soon as I closed my eyes."

Li Heng asked: "Has this happened before?"

Yu Shuheng shook her head.

Precisely because this had never happened before, under the influence of Lao Fu’s terrifying words tonight, she would instinctively overthink and be suspicious, resulting in her fear of sleeping alone.

After thinking for a while, Li Heng stood up, found a piece of red cloth, wrapped a handful of rice and a handful of tea leaves in it, and handed it to Yu Shuheng:
"Teacher, put it under your pillow tonight and you will sleep well."

Yu Shuheng took the triangular red envelope, looked at it, and asked, "Have you encountered this before?"

Li Heng did not shy away from saying, "Yes, it happened more than once. Sleep paralysis is a common occurrence for me. It happens every time I go back to my hometown.

Strangely enough, it only exists in my hometown. Once I left the village, I never saw it again. "

Mai Sui said, "Could it be that there is something unclean in your hometown?"

Li Henghao wanted to say that the residential area of ​​his hometown used to be the site of an ancient tree. The villagers said that there was a spirit in the ancient tree, and they liked to tie red ribbons on the tree to pray for peace.

But it was the middle of the night, and he couldn't create a panic atmosphere to scare the two girls, so he pretended to be casual and said:

“No, it’s a new house, no one has died there, it’s next to the road, there are many houses around, I asked a Feng Shui master to look at it, he said it’s very clean.

My foster father said that this is mainly caused by psychological factors, and it may also be caused by bad sleeping habits at night, with the hands pressed on the chest. "

Seeing that Mr. Yu didn't understand, Li Heng explained: "My foster father is a fortune teller. According to the custom in the village, he looked at my fortune when I was just born. The fortune teller said that I was born at an auspicious time, and my parents' fate was average and they couldn't afford it. It would be difficult to give birth to a child, and I would easily die before the age of two.

So my parents sent me to study under a fortune teller in order to avert disaster. At that time, I temporarily changed my surname to Zou Heng, like my foster father. I changed my surname back to my original one when I was two years old.

Listening to his story, listening to him talking about the many interesting things from his childhood, listening to him using science to explain sleep paralysis, the two girls gradually relaxed and were no longer as nervous as before.

After midnight, Yu Shuheng and Mai Sui went to sleep together in the second bedroom.

Fortunately, the bed was big enough, and the two women each covered themselves with a quilt, so it didn't seem crowded.

After sending these two ladies away, Li Heng was in trouble. He couldn't fall asleep no matter where he lay in bed. He often suffered from sleep paralysis in his hometown, and he was afraid that he would be harassed again tonight.

The feeling of suffocation, whoever tries it will know! After the first time, I definitely don't want to have a second time. It is unforgettable and will last a lifetime.

Late at night, sleepy Li Heng didn't know how he fell asleep.
Anyway, the thing I was worried about didn't happen and I slept very soundly that night.

In the next few days, Yu Shuheng slept with Mai Sui all the time. Mai Sui even left the dormitory to stay with her.

During this period, Teacher Yu tried to go back and sleep alone for a night, but was frightened awake in the middle of the night and finally had to call for the door of Building 25 to be opened.

Therefore, Li Heng suggested to Yu Shuheng: "Teacher, go to the temple on the weekend to pray and ask the old monk for a talisman or something like that."

In his opinion, whether the amulet can bring safety is another matter, but it definitely has a suggestive effect on the mind.

Yu Shuheng had this idea in mind. "Mai Sui and I have already discussed it. We'll go there on the weekend."

Reading, attending classes, writing, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, 5 days had passed and it was Friday.

On Friday afternoon, an uninvited guest came to the Management School teaching building.

She was wearing a cyan plaid windbreaker with a light pink scarf and a pair of red sneakers.

She has a delicate oval face like a demon, with clear features, her hair gently tied up, her face is white and translucent like fine porcelain, she has thin eyebrows and almond eyes, and she is thin and elegant.

It's simple yet stunningly beautiful.

Because she was so beautiful, countless boys and girls passing by would quietly stare at her, thinking: Who is this? Why haven't we seen someone like this before in school? She's so beautiful!
The person who came was Xiao Han.

She did not follow through on the promise of the following weekend, nor did she choose this weekend. Or rather, these were all smokescreens she threw at Li Heng.

Instead, I took advantage of the fact that I had no classes on Friday afternoon and rushed to Fudan University.

Standing in the lobby of the teaching building, Xiao Han watched for a while, and finally fixed his eyes on a brown-haired girl.

What a coincidence, the girl in brown is Liu Yue.

Maybe because they were of the same kind, Liu Yue noticed this girl who made the flowers pale in comparison as soon as she entered the hall.

Their eyes met, Xiao Han dimpled and asked, "Hello, classmate. Is the Statistics major in this building?"

Hearing this, Liu Yue instantly determined that the other party was not a student from the School of Management, or even from Fudan University.

After all, in Fudan University, it is impossible for a girl this beautiful to be hidden. She would have been discovered by those nosy boys long ago.

Liu Yue asked: "Are you here to look for someone?"

Xiao Han smiled sweetly and said, "Yes, find Li Heng, he's majoring in statistics."

In her understanding over the past seven years, her beloved honey has always been a little showoff who shines wherever he goes, and there must be many girls attracted to him.

This is true in junior high school and high school as well.

Now that he is in college, he must be as charming as ever. The brown girl in front of him might be someone he knows.
