Chapter 369 The Coward's Black Moonlight Witch 01
Several simple brick and tile buildings form a school. The back of the buildings is covered with vines and surrounded by fields.
There is a playground in the middle of the school. It does not have the standardized running track and plastic ground like those in city schools. There is only an open land and two rusty basketball hoops.
Although this is the only middle school in the town, all the students with better conditions have gone to the county town. Those who remain are either from poor families or left-behind children.
Most students lack discipline; dyeing and perming their hair is commonplace, and fighting is also common.
Just in the corner of the playground, a group of scantily clad girls surrounded a girl in school uniform.
The girl in the front was a red-haired girl named Tang Qian. Due to a long period of lack of care, her hair roots were dry and frizzy, and a lot of black hair had grown on top of her head.
She folded her arms across her chest and shouted in an arrogant tone, "Silly girl, hand over the money!"
The surrounded girl blinked, then obediently took out her pocket money from her pocket.
Tang Qian took the money and saw that there was only ten yuan. She sneered, "Who can spend this little money? Bring more money with you next time!"
After she finished speaking, she slapped the silly girl's face with her hand. After seeing the silly girl's face turn red, a smug smile appeared on her face. This was the pleasure brought by humiliating others.
In the middle of the playground, a group of boys with dyed yellow hair were playing basketball. One of the boys glanced at the corner while dribbling.
But he was soon interrupted by the shouts of other boys: "Chu Bojian, stop standing there and keep playing. Class will start soon."
Chu Bojian turned around and continued playing. But just as the ball hit the basket, a girl's scream came from the corner.
The boys, who were facing the corner, were playing basketball and sighing, "Tang Qian is bullying the silly girl again!"
Chu Bojian stopped and looked towards the corner. He saw that Silly Girl was biting Tang Qian's arm tightly, and the scream came from Tang Qian's mouth.
The other girls tried to pull Silly Girl away, hitting and kicking her, but Silly Girl was like an enraged little beast, biting her arm tightly, as if she wanted to bite the piece of flesh off her arm.
Chu Bojian looked at this scene, not knowing what he was thinking, and stood there in a daze for a long time.
…
Outside the teaching building, sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, scattering dappled light onto the playground. The girls stood shoulder to shoulder in a row, heads lowered, and remained silent.
Qin Qiuping, the teacher in charge of the ninth grade, walked slowly from the left to the right of the group, holding a stick. "I don't know what to say to you. You just keep causing trouble for me. It's almost the ninth grade. Can't you just focus on your studies?"
Tang Qian covered her injured arm and muttered softly, "What's the point of studying? I won't be able to get into high school anyway."
Qin Qiuping's eyelids twitched in anger at her words, and her voice rose a few degrees, "Is this your reason for bullying other students?"
Tang Qian raised her head and retorted, "She bit me this time, I'm the victim!"
As Tang Qian spoke, she stretched out her arm, revealing the bright red tooth mark.
Qin Qiuping could only turn her gaze to the corner and sighed, "Tan Shi, did you bite anyone?"
Tan Shi didn't say anything. Her hair was messy and her head was lowered, making it impossible to see her expression.
Instead, the other girls started talking at once, "Teacher, we can prove that it was Silly Girl who bit the first person."
Qin Qiuping shook her head. "I can't control that much, but I've called your parents. You can handle it yourself."
When the girls heard the words "call the parents", they were stunned for a moment, and looked at each other with different expressions.
Not long after, an old woman came hurriedly, her hair meticulously combed and neatly tied at the back of her head.
He wore a spring and autumn style floral jacket on the upper body, which was colorful but not messy, and a plain black trousers on the lower body, which was simple yet solemn.
When her eyes fell on Tan Shi in the corner, her face was immediately filled with worry and anger, "Niuniu, who bullied you? Tell grandma, and grandma will definitely help you get revenge!"
Qin Qiuping stretched out her hand, intending to comfort the agitated old woman, but suddenly remembered something, her hand stopped in mid-air, and she forced a smile: "Grandma Tan Shi, please don't worry."
The old woman turned around and glared at Qin Qiuping fiercely, her tone full of reproach. "How can you be a teacher? My little girl has been beaten like this, and you told me not to worry!"
After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to the girls beside her and shouted angrily: "Just look at the clothes you are wearing, I know you are not good people. Did you bully my girl?"
Qin Qiuping sighed, with a hint of helplessness in her tone, "Grandma Tan Shi, Tan Shi bit someone today, and Tang Qian is also a victim."
The old woman didn't care. She stood in front of her granddaughter and firmly retorted: "My Niuniu would never bite anyone for no reason. You must have bullied her."
Tang Qian's eyes widened as she retorted, "You damn old woman, what do you care what we wear? Do you think everyone is like Silly Girl, a country bumpkin?"
The old woman's face darkened, and her voice became sinister. "You're so sharp-tongued at such a young age! How dare you bully my daughter? I curse you in the name of Bai Xian. I'll let you be haunted by nightmares every night!"
Qin Qiuping's expression became complicated after hearing the old woman's words. The old woman's name was He Baifeng, and she was a famous fortune teller in their town.
Her fame wasn't due to her magical powers, but rather to her irrationality and harshness. Anyone who didn't do what she wanted would become the target of her curse.
Qin Qiuping pinched her brows and said after a moment of silence, "I remember it was during physical education class, so other students should have seen it. Why not let them tell us about it?"
The boys who were playing basketball on the playground at the time were called down to the teaching building, including Chu Bojian.
Qin Qiuping glanced at the group of boys and said in a calm and serious tone, "Did you see what happened on the playground?"
The girls all turned their eyes to the boys. They knew that they had more people on their side and had a closer relationship with the boys, so the boys would naturally stand on their side.
As expected, a boy standing in the front coughed and said, "We were all playing basketball and didn't pay much attention to the details. We only knew that Tan Shi bit Tang Qian's arm and refused to let go."
Tang Qian looked at He Baifeng, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes, "I'm telling you, if you don't compensate me today, don't even think about leaving!"
