Chapter 42 Tree Gao Girls’ High School 02
Jiang Yuelu took out the mask that he had bought at a high price.
The mask only had the upper half, a white background with red lines, and the shape of the drooping eyes was very much like a fox, with a red streak at the end of the eyes slanting towards the temples. The cold and dim moonlight flowed into the two black eye sockets, as if a living creature was watching him.
It is called a divine object, but it has the strangeness of a ghost.
Jiang Yuelu was turned upside down on her face, and after tying her up, she looked around but did not find anything unusual.
Fu Mengru snorted, "I don't know where you got this useless thing from, throw it away quickly and don't embarrass yourself here. You guys step back too, I can handle it by myself." The last sentence was directed at Leng Wenhan, warning her not to get in the way.
Fu Mengru wanted to be in the spotlight. Jiang Yuelu had just dealt with her in a few words, and she felt more and more depressed as she thought about it on the way. Every time she looked back, she saw him and Leng Wenhan chatting happily - two annoying people got together!
She slowly pulled out a white line from between her fingers, and drew up a half-moon bow. She looked alert in all directions with a stern look. If anything jumped out, she would shoot it to death with one arrow.
Then let them see that they don't need anyone's help!
No sound came from outside the dark forest. It was so quiet that it seemed as if there were no external enemies. Their alertness seemed like a joke to the forest creatures.
But in the invisible corners, there were always sticky gazes wandering over them, as if drooling and thirsty, waiting for the slightest relaxation before pouncing on them and tearing them to pieces.
And, we don’t know what that thing is.
This vast and boundless snow forest is extremely quiet at night, which is perfect for brewing cruel nightmares.
"Hush." Jiang Yuelu raised her finger, "Come here."
Fu Mengru glared at him, "I know."
She changed her position, bent her bow and aimed again. In less than a moment, a black shadow appeared among the shadows of the trees. She was so eager to win that she was about to shoot with her bow at full force, but was held down by someone.
Fu Mengru roared: "What are you doing!"
Jiang Yuelu held her down firmly no matter how she jumped, and said in a cold voice: "Look carefully. That's not a monster. You almost shot someone to death."
Fu Mengru was stunned. "People?"
Looking back, the shadow had already walked into the bright snow. The moonlight illuminated her face. It was a girl of about their age, wearing a school uniform similar to theirs. Seeing so many people, she was a little surprised, "It's dark, why are you still standing outside Zalama?"
Without further ado, he pulled Xie Xiaoya, who was standing at the outermost, and said, "Come in quickly."
"Let me go first and explain it clearly!"
"What is Zala Ma?"
"Where is it? Why can't I see it?"
"And who are you? Why should I listen to you?"
Fu Mengru said coldly: "You are here in the middle of the night. If you are not a ghost, who else could you be? I think you are the most suspicious!" Then she grabbed Xie Xiaoya and threw her to her companions. She then pinched the girl's neck with her five fingers. She immediately screamed: "I am helping you. I am really not a ghost!"
A group of girls were shouting at each other and the situation became chaotic.
At times like this, an adult needs to step in.
Jiang Yuelu took out her ID and flashed it in front of the girls. "They are transfer students, and I am the team leader. We have to arrive at the girls' high school before dark, but something happened on the way."
As he said this, he used a little strength to release Fu Mengru's hand that was pinching his neck and glanced at her warningly. Fu Mengru snorted coldly, and thinking that she had indeed wasted too much time on the road, she couldn't help but give up and stopped pestering her.
Jiang Yuelu supported the girl who was coughing non-stop, and Leng Wenhan handed her a handkerchief.
After she took it, she thanked him softly and looked at Jiang Yuelu, "Teacher? Yes, you are indeed a teacher..." She blushed and looked away from his eye-catching clothes.
Jiang Yuelu said: "My student is a little reckless. But I know you are not a ghost." He took off the mask.
He had just used it once according to the boss's method, and the girl who appeared behind the divine pupil (the eye of the mask) had a peaceful color flowing on her body. Although the color was not very pure, she was indeed a human and not a ghost.
"Just call me Lu Yue teacher."
The girl looked at Fu Mengru fearfully. Fu Mengru seemed to enjoy her fearful look. She made a fake grabbing gesture, which scared her so much that she hid behind Jiang Yuelu. "I... My name is Zhu Ling. I'm a student in Class 3, Grade 1, Girls' Senior High School."
"I came out because... I heard some noises." She answered vaguely.
Jiang Yuelu saw that she didn't tell the truth, but she was able to take the initiative to explain to the teacher the reason for going out, even though he was a new arrival - this made him sure that Zhu Ling was a good child, the kind who was not very good at lying.
Jiang Yuelu didn't care why she came out. "You don't seem to be afraid of the night. I heard that it's very dangerous here after dark, so I took the students to hurry up."
Zhu Ling nodded: "It is very dangerous at night, but with Zala Ma, there is nothing to be afraid of."
"Zala Ma?"
This is the second time I've heard this word.
Zhu Ling stood up and walked in the direction she came from, motioning everyone to follow. Jiang Yuelu took the lead, followed by Leng Wenhan. Fu Mengru hesitated for a second and fell behind to third place. She gritted her teeth and rushed forward. When she passed Leng Wenhan, she held her head high and chest high, but in return she received a calm look from Leng Wenhan, which made her even angrier.
Not long after walking, Zhu Ling stopped.
The trees here are different from those outside. The growth between the trees seems to have been carefully calculated. One by one, the ground is divided into several equal parts. Between them, there is a hemp rope tied, and five-color paper is hung on the long rope. The five colors of yellow, green, red, white and blue are sewn together with white thread. I don't know what the paper is made of, but it is unbreakable.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, and the five-colored papers hanging straight to the ground did not move at all, and seemed to have magical powers.
Zhu Ling said: "This is Zhalama."
She whispered.
"Blue sky."
“Yellow land.”
“Green life.”
"Red flames."
"White holiness."
Her whispered words were like a spell, echoing in the snowy forest. When she finished, she raised her head and clasped her hands together devoutly: "Protect the peace of Zalama, bless our Zalama, and also bless those who come after us. Thank you."
Jiang Yuelu looked back and saw that except for Leng Wenhan, the other girls all looked pious when they saw this scene, even Fu Mengru was no exception. These children grew up in the wizard academy, and were bathed in the grace of God since childhood. The respect and fear of God had been engraved in their bones.
This made him believe in the theory of eight characters even more, and he thought Leng Wenhan was an unlucky person, so it was reasonable for him to avoid him like the plague.
"The girls' high school is right after Zhalama." Zhu Ling said, "Teacher Lu Yue, I'll take you back."
There was silence. "Teacher Lu Yue?"
Fu Mengru said, "I'm calling you, Teacher Lu Yue!"
Lu Yue... that's him. Jiang Yuelu came back to his senses: "Okay, then I'll trouble you."
It seems that he will have to slowly get used to the identity of the hot female teacher.
-
The group walked along the forest path. The snow on the road seemed to have been cleared, so walking was not as strenuous as in the snowy forest. The closer they got to the school, the more Zhalama there was. In the quiet atmosphere, the five-colored paper that hung straight down silently watched them approach and pass by, and watched them go away, like a guardian angel to send them to safety.
When I stood at the school gate, the gaze that was sticking to me from afar disappeared.
Finally seeing the school gate, Xie Xiaoya felt sorry for having doubted Zhu Ling before, and said embarrassedly: "I'm so sorry, it's only thanks to you that we can come here."
Zhu Ling kept saying it was okay.
Fu Mengru looked at them loving each other with disdain, "We can come here even without her. Ten of those dirty things wouldn't be enough for me to chop!"
As he spoke, he waved his fist, which frightened Zhu Ling. Jiang Yuelu calmly held down Fu Mengru, who was smiling like a villain, and said, "Yes, yes, you are the best. You killed ten people with one sword. Now take everyone to the dormitory to rest."
Fu Mengru broke free and said unhappily, "What about you?"
"I'm going to the teacher's office." Jiang Yuelu glanced at the old teaching building from a distance, "It seems that some people haven't returned yet."
Fu Mengru said: "Remember to share the information you stole. Don't forget that we are teammates."
Jiang Yuelu nodded and left. After walking a few steps, she turned back and said helplessly, "Leng Wenhan."
He looked at the little girl who was following him closely, her white hair almost melting in the snow, "You have to go back to the dormitory with them." Meeting those cold yet persistent eyes, he sighed, squatted down and explained to her.
"We are a team, we can't just focus on our own work. If Jiang Yuelu can do something, Leng Wenhan can also do it." He said patiently: "If I take over your job, will you be happy?"
She said, "It's all right with me."
Jiang Yuelu tilted his head to look at her, his movements were humorous, but his attitude was firm: "But it will be related to me." Besides, his mission was too dangerous, so there was no need for her to follow.
She asked softly, "Does it bother you?"
Jiang Yuelu said: "A little bit."
"I know." She turned around obediently and walked in the opposite direction. She tilted her head slightly to reveal a pair of eyes whiter than snow. "No one else said anything, so I don't know what's bothering them. You would say, you..." She blinked slowly, "You're fine."
Jiang Yuelu watched her walk to the other side, feeling like an old father who sent his child to school to do psychological work. And immediately, he was needed to do another child's work.
Fu Mengru screamed: "No way, do you want me to take her back?"
Jiang Yuelu gave her a suggestive look and said, "I'll share the news when I get it. Don't forget that we are all your teammates." He nodded at Leng Wenhan meaningfully.
Fu Mengru glanced at Leng Wenhan reluctantly and said, "Then just follow me closely. I won't be responsible if you get lost!"
-
There was a smell of burning spices in the teaching building, which made it feel more like a peaceful Buddhist temple than a school. It was late at night, and all the teachers had gone home. Only the light was still on at the end.
The teacher's office that Zhu Ling mentioned is here.
He knocked on the door and heard a voice from inside, "Come in." The voice was unclear, as if it was said while chewing food.
"Excuse me." He walked in and looked around habitually.
This was a square room with three tables of the same size, filled with sundries and books. There were no computer keyboards or anything like that, so it looked relatively old. There was a lamp on the innermost table, which was the only source of light in the room. It was obviously not enough, so he couldn't see who was sitting behind the table. He could only vaguely hear the sound of chewing.
"Midterm exams are coming up, why are students and teachers transferring here?"
The shadow behind the table raised her head while complaining indistinctly. The dim light shone on her plump face. She was a female teacher in her forties. She glanced at Jiang Yuelu and her eyes widened. She even forgot to swallow the food in her mouth.
"Hello. I'm Lu Yue." Jiang Yuelu handed over her ID and transfer materials.
“Oh, oh…”
The fat lady took it and started flipping through it, but it was still difficult for her to take her eyes off Jiang Yuelu. "How old are you?"
"Twenty-seven."
"Are you married?"
"No."
The fat lady became interested, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Jiang Yuelu shook her head.
The fat lady became even more interested. She simply put the materials aside, held his hand affectionately, and looked him up and down: "Not bad, not bad, good looks, good figure, there is nothing wrong with him. Can I help you matchmake?"
Jiang Yuelu nodded, "Okay."
He took the initiative to hold the fat lady's mouth, "Let's talk about the girls' high school first, and what I'm going to do next."
You are very ambitious, so you need to find someone who cares about the family. The two of them are suitable. The fat lady happily took Jiang Yuelu's hand away, "I rely on this mouth to make a living, you better not cover up my rolling source of income. Um... where should I start first."
"I've read your information. You don't have enough experience. You may need a few years of training before you can move to the upper grades. Why don't you start with the first grade? Let me see which class has vacancies... Hmm? Class 3."
She frowned slightly, then quickly recovered and raised her head, "Go teach the general knowledge class to Class 3, okay?"
Jiang Yuelu said: "Okay."
Seeing that he agreed readily without asking, the fat lady shook her head in her heart, thinking that he still needed to learn more about the ways of the world. When she thought of Class 3, she felt a little sorry, so she said a few more words.
"Class 3 is good in every way. They have always had good test scores and no one has fallen behind. They are easy to teach. But..."
Here it comes.
Generally speaking, but then comes the point.
"But there is a troublemaker in Class 3, she is lawless and difficult to discipline." The fat lady sighed, "But she is the first, so there is nothing wrong with her. You should just turn a blind eye to her in the future. If she comes to make you angry, just pretend you don't see it."
That's hard. Jiang Yuelu asked, "What if I don't?"
Why are you so stubborn?
The fat lady deliberately scared him: "Then you can only be beaten up by the teacher like the last time, and leave the girls' high school with a bruised face and a swollen nose."
"Doesn't the school care about her behavior?"
She has a gorgeous face and a very innocent heart. The fat lady sighed in her heart, wondering what kind of trouble she would suffer at the hands of that naughty girl.
"Of course. It's not even night yet, and she's still locked in the confinement room." The fat lady exclaimed, "It seems like the time is almost up, Teacher Lu Yue, remember to take her out of the confinement room. I'm leaving first. Bye--" Jiang Yuelu disappeared with a whoosh, and only felt a gust of wind with the smell of rice blowing past her.
Just run away, "At least tell me her name."
"Her name is Xia Yi——!!!"
The sound echoed in the corridor.
