Poison (Thirteen)
Yu Shu held Wang Zhiyao in his arms like a younger brother and patted his back gently.
Any words would seem pale and powerless in front of the scars that are engraved into the soul and will burn the body and mind as long as one is alive.
Besides, these three teachers are not completely without similarities. They are all beasts in human form and are unworthy of being teachers.
They dared to treat Wang Zhiyao like this and cover up for each other. This is definitely not the first time. Then how much harm did those students from ordinary families who were specially recruited into No. 6 Middle School because of their good grades suffer in previous years?
Just thinking about it made Yu Shu's hair stand on end and a fire of anger burned in his heart.
Wang Zhiyao twitched in Yu Shu's arms for nearly half an hour, and then his emotions gradually stabilized. He wiped away his tears, looked up at Yu Shu, and stuttered, "Thank you... Thank you, thank you, Brother Yu."
He gasped as he spoke, and there was a little snot on his red nose.
Yu Shu took out a tissue to wipe away Wang Zhiyao's tears and snot, his eyes full of heartache.
Wang Zhiyao stayed with Yu Shu for another afternoon. The head teacher came to the school clinic and planned to criticize Wang Zhiyao.
Yu Shu spoke first, describing Wang Zhiyao's specific discomfort and symptoms in detail, and finally added: "It won't affect his studies. He has already written three test papers."
Seeing that it did not delay the review, the head teacher did not say anything more.
After school in the evening, Jiang Yu appeared at the door of the school clinic. He leaned against the door frame, and the sunset that illuminated half the sky red became his backdrop. The orange afterglow outlined the contours of his body, and the edges of the outline seemed to be glowing.
"Why didn't you reply to the message?"
Yu Shu frowned: "You didn't reply either."
Jiang Yu flipped through the chat logs and placed them before Yu Shu, sneering, "Doctor Yu is busy with work, so it's normal that he didn't see it. I was abrupt in asking."
Yu Shu smiled awkwardly: "Maybe my mind has recovered."
Jiang Yu closed the door of the school clinic and locked it from the inside.
"Why are you asking about Edison Chung all of a sudden?" He grabbed Yu Shu's swivel chair and asked with his head raised.
"I saw this name in Wang Zhiyao's notebook and it looked familiar, so I asked you."
As he spoke, Yu Shu flipped through the list of people who came to the school clinic today and pointed to Lin Wenxue's name: "This girl's name also appears in Wang Zhiyao's notebook."
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows: "And then?"
Yu Shu subconsciously lowered his voice: "These names are followed by some curse words, and their attitude towards Wang Zhiyao is not very good."
"Just a coincidence."
Jiang Yu probably understood what Yu Shu wanted to express. Anyone who had bullied Wang Zhiyao with complete malice might show symptoms of coma, redness, and low body temperature.
The poison of the poison is actually a kind of resentful soul. The heavy resentment has transformed into a poison that can corrode the soul. If Wang Zhiyao is really related to the poison of the poison, the symptoms should be more serious and it is impossible for him to live in peace.
To put it another way, although the poison knows that it is poisonous and a kind of vengeful spirit, it will not harm innocent people at will. It will take revenge on those who caused its tragic death.
"Since we have inferred that the poison in No. 6 Middle School is related to abused stray animals, then the perpetrators of school bullies will also be one of the targets of poison's revenge. Wang Zhiyao is obviously just an ordinary student." Jiang Yu added.
Indeed, according to Jiang Yu, the three heartless teachers were the perpetrators of violence. If they followed the clue that the perpetrators would get into trouble, wouldn't they be able to find the poisoner? If he wanted to poison people, he would definitely show up.
"I see." Yu Shu nodded: "By the way, why did you come to the school to look for me?"
"I finally managed to get some words out of the school director." Jiang Yu stopped talking halfway, lowered his eyelids slightly and looked at Yu Shu.
He is asking about the art.
Yu Shu saw through Jiang Yu's thoughts at a glance. No matter how smart he was, he was just a boy in his early twenties and still liked to get satisfaction by showing off.
Yu Shu blinked, put on a very serious expression to cooperate with Jiang Yu's performance, and asked, "What inside information did you get?"
"Those three teachers are relatives of the school director. The school director's uncles, aunts, and aunts also got into trouble. The school director was afraid that it would be his turn, so he asked me to solve this matter. And..."
Jiang Yu paused. Actually, he wanted to tease this man who was sometimes smart and sometimes stupid.
Yu Shu wanted to slap Jiang Yu on the back of the head and force him to follow up with questions like an ignorant child before he would continue talking.
But he was concerned about the age difference between them and didn't want to argue with Jiang Yu, so he had to continue laying the steps downwards as Jiang Yu wished.
"Yeah, go on, I'm listening."
"The school director has gone to great lengths to cover up the despicable actions of these three and maintain the school's reputation. He hopes to resolve this quietly and not let the police know what these three beasts did to several specially recruited students."
Hearing this, Yu Shu became even more angry.
It is true that birds of a feather flock together. It is strange enough that such a person can be a teacher, but it turns out that he is a relative of the school director.
The school director knew all about those shady activities, but for the sake of the school's reputation, he would rather help those three scumbags cover up and not even watch the students' lives being severely damaged and shattered.
"You won't agree, will you?"
Yu Shu's voice grew colder, his gaze piercing from top to bottom.
Jiang Yu said lazily with a long voice: "Not really."
Jiang Yu also couldn't stand the school director's style of doing things. His primary principle in this line of work has always been to fulfill his obsession with redressing the unjust deaths or to dispel the resentful souls and evil spirits that are harming the living.
If he had betrayed his conscience for the sake of money, he would not have achieved such success in just a few years. His good reputation was not only due to the praise of his customers, but also the help of the ghosts who had benefited from him.
"But you didn't say you were quitting and running away." Yu Shu said. If Jiang Yu really didn't want to continue doing this, he would definitely ask him to leave and would not go to the trouble of running to the school to say these things to him.
Jiang Yu's eyes lit up with a faint smile, and he nodded, "You can't blame me if he tells it out himself." He had a hundred ways to make the school director admit it himself.
"Why don't you have so many ways to deal with the matter in my village?" Yu Shu joked.
"There are no available resources." He was referring to ghosts and monsters. The resentment in the mountain village was heavy, but there was nothing he could dispatch, so naturally they were restricted.
Things were different when he returned to Guangzhou. He took in some kind-hearted ghosts who were willing to cooperate with him and kept them in the storage room on the third floor.
Good souls are not evil spirits, and cannot withstand too much yang energy, so they are easily shocked. It is for this reason that he does not allow others to go up to the third floor.
However, Yu Shu's physique was just the opposite. He could nourish good souls and replenish their clean spiritual yin energy. The reason why he let Yu Shu live in his home in the name of work needs was so that they could play a greater role and complete the commission that No. 6 Middle School and he would take over soon.
With Jiang Yu's assurance, Yu Shu could put his heart back in his stomach: "Since you said so, I don't have to worry."
Jiang Yu seemed to be rooted to the chair, with no intention of getting up and leaving.
"I have to wait until the evening self-study is over before I can leave work. Why aren't you leaving yet?" Yu Shu asked in confusion.
Jiang Yu gently kicked the ground, and he and his chair spun around in a swift circle. After finishing his business, he felt like joking, his eyes fixed on Shu.
The white coat made Yu Shu look very clean. Under the cold light of the incandescent lamp, his skin was white with a rosy glow. His non-aggressive coldness made him look a little more shrewd, but the gentleness between his eyebrows remained.
"Wait for you to take me to the cafeteria for dinner." Jiang Yu tilted his head and blinked, rarely showing an expression that suited his age.
Yu Shu tutted, "Aren't you going home to order takeout?"
“I want to experience the school cafeteria.”
Yu Shu's mind consciously emerged the longing and curious look in Jiang Yu's eyes when he looked at the biological laboratory in the darkness. His heart suddenly softened, as if being tickled by a feather, and a little sour.
"Then get up." Yu Shu opened the door.
The setting sun poured down on Jiang Yu and blended with the incandescent light. He had a relaxed expression and a faint smile, as if he was standing in the high beam.
Yu Shu was thoughtful and took Jiang Yu to the student dining area.
They were both tall and strong, about 1.8 meters tall, which was very eye-catching in the south. In addition, they were quite handsome, so many students stared at them like flashlights.
Jiang Yu used himself as the center of the circle and shifted his focus 360 degrees, as if he was looking for something.
"Eat, what are you looking at?"
Yu Shu sat down with two bowls of soup and pushed one of them in front of Jiang Yu.
"No, I just suddenly felt that going to school is like being in jail in another sense." Jiang Yu retracted his gaze, and the curiosity in his eyes disappeared completely.
His childhood was filled with wild goblins and wandering ghosts. He grew up under the protection of a gentle master who loved to tease him. He learned a lot but also lost many experiences of a normal child.
Now, looking at the life he was once curious about and wanted to experience from an outsider's perspective, he realized that it was nothing special and not as happy as the days of learning from his master.
Yu Shu uttered an "oh," raised his eyebrows mischievously, and smiled, "That's a pretty accurate description. I thought the same when I was in high school."
"But, when people are in school, they look forward to work, and when they are working, they want to go back to school. In fact, I don't miss going to school much, I just miss the simplest and most relaxing time when I didn't have to think too much." Yu Shu sighed.
Jiang Yu nodded. It was true. It wasn't school life he longed for; he just hadn't experienced it.
After he integrated into the student atmosphere, he still preferred the time spent with his master.
"School doctor, is Wang Zhiyao still in the school clinic? I have something to talk to him about." The class teacher of Class 17 ran over hurriedly, with a layer of sweat on his face and his bangs on his forehead wet and tied into clumps.
Yu Shu suddenly remembered the loud bang in his mind, and his movement to put down the spoon froze.
Wang Zhiyao told him that he had a test in the third class in the afternoon and went back first. The class teacher came to look for him at this time, with an anxious and flustered look, and it was obvious that he didn't see anyone.
"He took the whole afternoon off and said he would come to me to cancel his leave at six o'clock. Now it's almost seven o'clock and I haven't seen him yet." The head teacher patted his chest several times to calm down.
A bad premonition spread throughout Shu's heart, but he remained calm and met the head teacher's anxious eyes: "He went back after the second class."
"He hasn't come back yet. The security guard definitely won't let him out. I didn't sign the release column on the leave note."
Yu Shu felt relieved for a few seconds when he saw the worried look on the head teacher's face, but then he felt helpless.
If the head teacher really cared about Wang Zhiyao that much, how could he not notice that some students in the class were taking the lead in bullying Wang Zhiyao?
In the end, she was still concerned about herself. She was nervous now because she was afraid that if something happened to the students, she would be held responsible and might lose the teaching position she had worked so hard to obtain.
"Well, I'll help you look for him. He should still be in the school and not have gone far."
However, when the head teacher heard Yu Shu say they wanted to help look for him, he spoke frankly: "Of course you have to help. You have a bigger responsibility. If we don't find him, it's none of my business. You asked him to come back, but he didn't."
Yu Shu clenched his fists tightly behind his back, trying hard to suppress the urge to curse.
Although Yu Shu was indeed responsible, this homeroom teacher was also quite bad. He usually didn't care about the students' physical and mental health, only focused on grades, and when something went wrong, he put all the blame on Yu Shu.
Jiang Yu grabbed Yu Shu's clenched fist and pried open the fingers one by one. Then he stood up straight, stood between the two of them, and looked down at the head teacher with cold eyes.
"Don't put your responsibility on Yu Shu. He's helping you out of friendship as a colleague. Don't be so arrogant."
Jiang Yu's commanding way of speaking left the head teacher breathless. His condescending eyes were like ice, sharp and piercing.
"Who...are you?" The head teacher was frightened by Jiang Yu's aura and was speechless.
Jiang Yu rolled his eyes: "You can't even take care of your own business, why do you care who I am?"
Being young and capable is a good thing, and one's words are particularly assertive. Yu Shu had previously felt very aggrieved, but Jiang Yu's two words made him feel better.
"Jiang Yu, find someone first."
Yu Shu was very touched, but he was more worried about Wang Zhiyao. He pulled Jiang Yu's hand and walked out.
Jiang Yu took two steps and turned back to glance at his head teacher.
