From Jiu Shu's world

Chapter 477 Old High School

Bayi High School was a well-known high school in Xiagou Town in the past. Although the conditions were simple, it was considered very good at that time.

It's just that because of the development of the later times, the coastal villages have more potential for development, but the Xiagou Town hidden in the ravine is gradually unable to keep up with the speed of development.

Gradually more and more children went to other places to go to school, and fewer and fewer teachers came here. Coupled with some turmoil, it was finally deserted, leaving only the old three-story teaching building and a row of old buildings. The tile-roofed house that collapsed for an unknown period of time.

When He Mengqing and Henry Zhang introduced this old high school, they bluntly said that it was a garbage dump in an abandoned building yard, which was actually somewhat exaggerated.

After all, it was the ruins of a high school. Although the town officials didn't have too much money to invest in reconstruction, they wouldn't turn such a place into a garbage dump.

The act of piling up garbage is done by those townspeople who are greedy for petty gain and convenience. This old high school is on the edge of the town, a little far away from others, and much closer than the garbage dump outside the town, so there are many greedy people. Handy people dumped the garbage here.

Over time, this old high school has become an abandoned building and garbage dump for the older generation of townspeople.

Henry Zhang and the others came here in a big jeep, and within a few minutes' journey, they arrived at the gate of the old high school.

It can be seen with the naked eye that the old high school stands alone in this wilderness. The nearest house is about a few hundred meters away. If you look closely, you can still see the townspeople moving from time to time.

The old high school is very dilapidated, there is no wall, only a pile of messy bricks around it.

These bricks are very fine, and they are all half, one-third pieces. The good bricks have been picked up many years ago.

As soon as the three of Henry Zhang approached, they smelled an unpleasant smell, like sour water mixed with all kinds of rotten fish and rotten shrimp, which was very unpleasant.

Although I haven't seen the whole picture yet, just based on this taste, I know that it is not unreasonable for this old high school to be called a garbage dump.

Henry Zhang used a talisman to clear the body and regulate qi on himself, and then used spiritual power to isolate the odor.

Then, in the same way, a talisman was placed on He Mengqing and He Lu, for fear that they would be overwhelmed by the stench before seeing the ghost.

With the help of Henry Zhang's magic talisman, the three of them didn't care much about the garbage piled up in the old high school, and slowly walked around the half-fallen walls.

Going around the low wall made of chaotic bricks, apart from the dilapidated teaching building, there are piles of rubbish piled up in twos and threes, all kinds of which make people feel sick.

Henry Zhang and the others just glanced at the garbage dump in a hurry, and their eyes fell on this decadent teaching building.

As the sun sets, the twilight is getting darker, and the teaching building stands in the distance like an old man in the shadows.

Its doors and windows have long been damaged, and the single wooden window frame "bang bang bang" hits the mottled wall.

Empty and scary.

"Come on, let's go in and see."

In the corridors of the teaching building, the iron railing doors are already rusty, and many iron bars have been stolen by someone, leaving only an empty door frame.

Although He Lu and his daughter felt hairy looking at the gloomy stairs, after Henry Zhang gave such instructions, they nodded and followed him closely.

The footsteps of the three of them were very light, but they felt very loud and scary in this empty old high school.

The old-style buildings are not high, and there are very few steps in the corridor, but there are only ten steps, which is the corner of a staircase.

"Tap Tap"

The footsteps of the three fell loudly as they walked around the corner.

"What are you doing!"

Suddenly a soft shout resounded through the corridor, and the three of them looked up the corner stairs, only to see a bunch of gleaming eyes staring at the crowd, a black and thin figure standing on the corridor.

It was already sunset at this time, there were no lights in the corridor, and it was hard to see clearly, the He family's father and daughter felt a sudden tremor in their hearts, and they were startled.

Henry Zhang was not surprised at all, and when the flashlight shone, he showed the appearance of the man in front.

A tattered white dress comparable to Baijiayi, but now the gray-black clothes are a bit darker. Under the clothes, there is a thin body like a skeleton that cannot support the clothes.

This is an old man who picks up waste, his hair is thin and gray, and there is a bag of plastic bottles beside him, looking straight at the three of them.

"Uncle Ah Jian?"

He Mengqing suddenly shouted in surprise, he recognized that the old man in front of him seemed to be Uncle A Jian who was picking up waste in the town, he really didn't expect that it was almost night and he was still here.

He Mengqing breathed a sigh of relief, and He Lu also let go of his heart.

The old man named Ah Jian followed the light of the flashlight and saw clearly the appearance of several people. Seeing that they were people from the town, he relaxed his vigilance a bit.

A gleam of light flashed through his cloudy eyes, and he asked, "What are you doing here when it's getting dark, do you still want to ask about Li Yanxue back then, little boy?"

He Mengqing never thought that he would meet anyone here. He didn't want everyone to know about his daughter's affairs, so he hesitated for a while and couldn't think of any excuses.

So I thought about dealing with it first.He nodded and said, "Uncle Jian, I want to ask you what else you knew about that incident back then?"

When He Mengqing asked about He Lu's grandmother, he actually relied on Uncle Jian's contribution.

There are many people who know about the past, but those who still live to this day remember clearly, in fact, there are not many. Those who moved away moved away, and the rest are people like Uncle Jian.

This old man A Jian is also strange, he has been picking up waste in this town for most of his life, and he obviously has a right hand and a foot, but he just refuses to do other things, which has been criticized for a long time.

He Mengqing was also a dead horse as a living horse doctor at the time, so he asked Uncle A Jian, but he did not expect to find out something.

Now that the two knew each other, the atmosphere became much better after the conversation.

The old man Ajian said that he put the waste bag full of plastic bottles in the corner of the wall, and then he sat on the stairs and sighed: "You young man, why are you so curious about those things back then? It's not so glamorous." matter."

He leaned back slightly, and then said, "Tell me, what else do you want to know?"

He Mengqing glanced at Henry Zhang worriedly, fearing that his actions would ruin Henry Zhang’s plan.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Henry Zhang knew that the old man A Jian should be one of the insiders back then, so he also became curious, and nodded in front of He Mengqing's asking eyes.

When He Mengqing saw Henry Zhang nodded slightly, he was relieved, knowing that Henry Zhang didn’t mind.

He took out the cigarette case in his coat pocket, smoked a cigarette and handed it to the old man, and then lit it for the old man, after the old man took a puff of the cigarette.

Then he asked aloud: "Uncle A Jian, I want to ask about that Li Dingfeng back then."

"Li Dingfeng?"

The old man Jian was stunned suddenly, the spark of the cigarette in his hand was extremely bright in the dimness.

He was stunned for a while, then he came back to his senses, shook the cigarette ash, and then said quietly:

"Li Dingfeng...hehe, he was still my class teacher back then."
