Chapter 217 Evil Spirit 13
Li De used to teach in a middle school in the city. Because of his bad teacher ethics and love affair with a female classmate while in school, he was reported and sent to the remote Tanhua Town to teach. His wife left him with the children and was ashamed of him. He stayed quiet in Tanhua Town for a few days, but he was bad at heart, and after a period of silence he began to stir again.
The news about Zhang Yanhui was a hot topic in the school. Zhang Yanhui was his class representative and a good student. He had never had the courage to get involved with such a student before, but Zhang Yanhui's family gave him inexplicable confidence and arrogance.
No matter how big the situation in a small town is, no one cares. He saw that Zhang Yanhui was pretty and with a little makeup, she looked no different from a female student, and his heart began to overflow. One day, he finally couldn't help but call him to the office and analyze the seriousness of the current situation for him.
Li De was the only one left in the office. He sat back in his chair with his legs crossed, staring intently at the young man who opened the door: "Zhang Yanhui..."
The young man who pushed the door open was wearing a clean school uniform and stood straight. The most eye-catching thing about him was his delicate face with a slight smile and two dimples on either side of his cheeks, like the sweetest honey fruit that would be tempting to pick.
The words that came to his lips were stuck and he couldn't utter or swallow them back. Li De stared at the young man in front of him with wide eyes. The fear of the unknown gripped his heart. In the silent office, only one person's heart was beating violently.
"Zhang Yanhui... I called you here to..." He stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence, but it seemed as if there was an invisible force urging him to complete the performance.
Zhang Yanhui stared at Li De expressionlessly. Perhaps in the eyes of others, Li De presented the image of a gentle and refined man wearing black-framed glasses, an ordinary middle-aged man. But behind the illusion, Li De was completely unrecognizable, his eyes were bruised and swollen, there was a bloody black footprint on his chest, and his neck was also covered with purple marks from being pinched by bloody hands.
Perhaps he still had some sympathy for other people in the school, which made him postpone the action of destroying the school again and again, but when facing Li De and Fang Zhengxiang, he wanted to tear their tendons and bones apart. At this moment, seeing the once righteous Li De appear in such a miserable state, Zhang Yanhui found it very interesting.
He walked skillfully to the floor where he had stood before, looked down at Li De, and forced a cold smile: "Teacher, what do you want to say?"
Li De's head buzzed, and he curled up his hands and feet in fear. He watched the boy in front of him suddenly reveal his most terrifying appearance. His dark eyes stared at him emotionlessly, and his school uniform instantly dyed bright red. He was so scared that his heart trembled, but his mouth said disobediently: "I, I want to say..."
He swallowed his saliva: "...I can help you, as long as you..."
Before he could finish his words, Li De fainted.
In a place invisible to the naked eye, black mist entangled Li De's limbs, and no matter how hard he pulled, he still couldn't be moved.
Zhang Yanhui withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, picked up the cold water on the table and splashed it on Li De's face. The cold water aroused Li De's consciousness. The moment he looked at Zhang Yanhui, he almost fainted again. Zhang Yanhui said coldly: "Keep talking."
Li De seemed to be controlled, saying all those malicious and foul words.
…
Jiang Chunmian sat in her seat nervously. Apart from Zhang Yanhui, who could bring her a similar sense of security, everyone else in the class was seen by her as dangerous or someone who could potentially become dangerous.
It's no wonder she thought too much. The boy in front of her was always gossiping with her a few days ago, but he was the one who chased her the most fiercely yesterday. However, no one knew what happened after that. The side of his face was broken, and he didn't treat the wound. His school uniform was also torn, and he was slowly packing his schoolbag.
The atmosphere at school got even weirder today.
Jiang Chunmian didn't dare to think too much. He packed his schoolbag and just thought about asking for leave from his class teacher in the afternoon and spending the last few days at home. Anyway, according to the current schedule, the winter vacation would start in a few days.
...Strangely, the temperature has been rising recently, and there's no sign of a winter break. Furthermore, aside from the fact that it's winter break at school, the temperature outside of school is quite hot, and there's no sign of the Spring Festival approaching.
Time can't be fake, right?
Jiang Chunmian rubbed his head, feeling that there were too many strange things. He would discuss them with Zhang Yan when he came back.
I waited for a long time but Zhang Yan didn't come back.
Jiang Chunmian began to look around.
She knew that Zhang Yanhui was the math class representative and was often called to the teacher's office, but today's call was unusually long.
Just as she was about to go to the office to check out the situation, she turned around and was blocked by the boy at the table in front of her. Jiang Chunmian subconsciously picked up the mop placed behind him and held it in front of him, shouting, "What do you want to do!"
The boy at the front desk was slightly stunned, then slowly said, "I should be asking you, what do you want to do? Why are you still holding a mop?... Let me tell you, Teacher Li came to our school for a reason. He plays tricks on the students! Zhang Yanhui can be the math class representative, and he stays in the office after class every day. Who knows if he is studying or doing something else..."
Jiang Chunmian couldn't help but throw the mop at the boy at the table in front of him: "Shut your mouth!"
She picked up her schoolbag, shoved the boy at the table in front of her away with her shoulder, walked to the front of the office, raised her hand and slapped him a few times: "Teacher! I need to get something."
After saying that, she turned the doorknob directly, but it wouldn't open. Her heart sank slightly...
The situation was special. Even if Li De had been morally corrupt in the past, she believed that with Zhang Yanhui's strength, he would never suffer any loss in such a short time. But what if Li De went crazy? Like the group of students and Fang Zhengxiang yesterday, he would slash people with a knife.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chunmian gradually became irritable. Not hearing Zhang Yanhui's response made her even more uneasy. Without thinking, she kicked him.
“Bang—”
The door panel was violently hit.
Zhang Yanhui, who was sitting opposite the door, opened his mouth silently, and then the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.
"Jiang Chunmian, I'm here." After stopping Jiang Chunmian, Zhang Yanhui turned the locked door handle.
The moment the door opened, Jiang Chunmian grabbed Zhang Yanhui's wrist and looked inside. He saw Li De lying on the chair with a bruised face. Li De's face was swollen beyond belief, and his eyes were closed, as if he had fainted.
"You hit me?"
Zhang Yan replied: "Um... yes."
To be precise, the wound that Li De suffered at this moment was caused by him a few days ago. The damage inflicted by evil spirits on ordinary humans is not so easy to eliminate.
According to the original process, Zhang Yanhui was called to Li De's office. Li De comforted him in the name of a teacher, and then made his improper request. If Zhang Yanhui listened to him, he would protect him in school and even support him to go to college...
Zhang Yanhui was filled with shame and anger at the time. He wrestled with Li De and then broke out of the door...
What followed was an overwhelming flood of even more bizarre rumors, as well as Li De's angry verbal abuse and insults in the classroom.
Jiang Chunmian: "What did he do to you?"
Jiang Chunmian pulled Zhang Yanhui's hand and left the corridor. As they walked down, he said, "Don't lie to me. Tell me the truth."
Zhang Yanhui told her what had happened, and naturally what he said was a true story from the past: "Don't worry. Even if he has any intentions, I can't do anything if I don't agree to it."
Jiang Chunmian couldn't help but curse, then cursed angrily: "How can he be so disgusting! Next time I ask you to come to the office, just refuse directly."
Zhang Yan replied: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
His hand was always held by Jiang Chunmian, and the warmth of his palm was transmitted to his body through the thin skin and flesh. The heart that was born of resentment actually felt the warmth.
Zhang Yanhui's home was closest to the school. Jiang Chunmian originally wanted to go home at noon, but considering that Zhang Yanhui had experienced that kind of thing and needed comfort, and she also had something else to discuss, she bought some food and went to his house.
The rain is still falling.
Jiang Chunmian expressed his doubts: "Do you know what time it is now?"
Zhang Yanhui was silent for a moment and asked her, "What's wrong?"
"School is about to start its winter break in a few days, but strangely, there's no news about the final exams." Jiang Chunmian tugged at the collar of his clothes. "We need to wear winter uniforms at school, but the temperature inside the house isn't cold outside... And the rain outside the window, is it interfering with the signal? My phone's time is inaccurate, and I can't connect to the internet..."
Zhang Yan replied: "What do you think is going on?"
"It's probably been disrupted by unknown factors." Jiang Chunmian guessed, "Maybe it's not winter vacation at all, but spring. What I mean is, what we thought was winter vacation is actually fake. The school was affected by some factors and was trapped in the past. Under normal circumstances, it should be..."
She counted on her fingers a few times, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be March, the middle of the month!"
That's right.
Zhang Yanhui looked at her intently, his fingers slowly moving closer to her hand on the table. "I think what you said makes sense. I also find it very strange."
Jiang Chunmian suggested, "Let's stay away from school. I always feel like there's a lot of weird stuff going on there. If it's really March, then the college entrance exam is only a few months away. Why don't we take some time off and study at home? We can keep an eye on each other! We can go back to school when the exam is almost here. This way, we can avoid being affected by what's happening at school..."
"Need not."
"Um?"
"Believe me, everything will be normal." Zhang Yanhui was silent for a moment and suddenly said.
Jiang Chunmian just thought it was a comfort and didn't think about it in any other way.
During the afternoon class, she was still thinking about the feasibility of her proposal.
The classroom door opened and Li De came in with a book in his arms.
Jiang Chunmian was in a bad mood when he saw it was him. He poked Zhang Yanhui's arm with his finger and made an angry expression when he looked at him.
She said silently, "Ignore him."
Zhang Yanhui's eyes flashed: "...Yeah."
The hand holding the pen began to unconsciously write Jiang Chunmian's name on the paper again. When he realized it, he quickly reached out to cover it.
He felt guilty and didn't want to affect Jiang Chunmian's studies anymore, so he decided to eliminate the resentment after school tonight and let the school return to normal operations.
——Of course, he could only solve the curse on the school. The energy formed by the resentment had long been integrated with the air, water and soil of Epiphyllum Town. Unless he left Epiphyllum Town, he could not escape the erosion of resentment day after day.
Crazy is crazy, there is no possibility of it getting better.
Those who are crazy do not deserve sympathy.
However, what Zhang Yanhui did not expect was that Li De, under the intimidation at noon, actually started to curse in class in advance.
In the real incident, this incident happened a few days later. Li De continued to pester Zhang Yanhui, and Zhang Yanhui had a disgusting outburst and beat Li De so badly that he was hospitalized. This incident not only aroused Li De's resentment, but also caused Zhang Yanhui to be criticized and educated by the whole school.
And a few days later, Fang Zhengxiang provoked him again, and Zhang Yanhui was expelled from school for fighting.
Those are all things of the past...
In the past, I only felt hatred in my heart, but now it seemed as if it was covered with a thin mist. Zhang Yanhui moved closer to Jiang Chunmian as if he was dependent on her. They were desk mates, so it was normal for their arms to touch.
Elbow against elbow, Zhang Yanhui silently curled his lips, completely freeing himself from the resentment of the past.
However, Li De at the podium was still caught in the dual emotions of fear and resentment.
Completely different images flooded into his mind. Some were of Zhang Yanhui swinging a chair at him in the office, some were of him going to the principal's office to report Zhang Yanhui's misconduct, and some were vague scenes of being strangled... The scene of being strangled vaguely aroused his fear. He didn't dare to think too much about it. He looked at Zhang Yanhui sitting in the back seat, and anger surged in his chest.
What an ungrateful thing! He cursed in his heart.
"There's a certain student in our class who, despite appearing serious and respectable, is secretly involved. How can such a person still have the nerve to stay in class? Doesn't he know that the entire class, including the teacher, is being unreasonably scolded because of him?"
"...I was kind enough to help him, but he ended up biting me back and beating me up so hard that I had to stay in the hospital for a few days. How can you even have the nerve to attend class? Even if you study well and get into university, you'll still be a social outcast. People like you, no matter how good or smart you are at studying, have no future! You'd better learn from your mother and do those shady things..."
Zhang Yanhui had already heard these words so many times that his ears were callused.
Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound beside me.
He looked sideways.
Jiang Chunmian propped herself up on a chair with one foot, raised her math textbook, and smashed it squarely on Li De's head. She shouted, "Come on, curse me again!"
Li De was caught off guard and hit in the face. He covered his bleeding forehead and stared at the strange girl in the back seat. He had no memory of her face. Where did she come from? He was stunned for only a moment. The displeasure of being refuted in class ignited his anger. He shouted, "I didn't scold you, why are you so excited! Besides, what's wrong with being a teacher educating students!"
"Are you educating students? You are insulting people!" Jiang Chunmian was already filled with anger at noon. Seeing Li De's disgusting face, she wanted to roll up her sleeves and fight him. She was seized by nameless anger and picked up her chair and walked towards the podium.
Then, he slammed the chair onto the podium, "Apologize to Zhang Yanhui! Don't make excuses. Everyone knows you're talking about him. Apologize!"
Jiang Chunmian's eyes seemed to be spitting fire. He didn't know where he got the strength from, but the chair collided with the podium, breaking into wood chips. The debris splashed everywhere, and Li De was pierced by the wood splinter in the arm, but Jiang Chunmian, who was closest to him, was unharmed.
He even shouted in full force: "If you don't apologize in front of the whole class today, just try it."
Who doesn't know how to make harsh words? Jiang Chunmian grabbed the chair and banged it hard on the table twice, making a loud bang.
"Alright! I was wrong." Li De glared at Jiang Chunmian with gritted teeth: "You openly assaulted the teacher in class, you can expect to be punished by the school!"
"You were the one who insulted me first. As a teacher, you swear at me. If there is any punishment, it will be you. I'm not afraid." Jiang Chunmian was a little flustered when he heard about the punishment, but then he thought about it, the whole school was in a mess, who knew if anything weird would happen again, and how could he still have the mind to punish students.
A few days ago, there was a serious fight in the class, and no one intervened. Was she wrong to uphold justice? The more she thought about it, the more confident she became. Jiang Chunmian pinched her waist and shouted, "Okay, report me. I'm waiting!"
"...You!" Li De pointed at Jiang Chunmian, his eyes red with anger. He spat fiercely and left the classroom with his book.
Jiang Chunmian held his head high, walked down the podium, returned to his seat, stared at Zhang Yanhui with puffed cheeks, was silent for a moment, and tugged at the corner of his clothes.
"Zhang Yanhui, Zhang Yanhui..."
Zhang Yanhui was still in a daze when he heard Jiang Chunmian ask fearfully, "He won't really report me, will he?"
Immediately, she said to herself, "That was his fault first. I'm not wrong anyway!"
