Chapter 64
A strong wind blew over, and with a crackling sound, the tops of the high electric poles and signal towers broke at once, and the two halves of debris fell from the sky. After a loud rumbling sound, a deep sunken hole appeared on the ground. When people stood by and looked down, they saw an extremely dark abyss underneath, and inside the abyss were countless eyes.
In the crowd, a child immediately started crying: "I don't want to be here! Mom! Dad! Let's go home quickly! Let's go home! Wuuwuwu - I'm so scared, I'm scared, I want to go home, wuuwuwu -"
The man and woman with the child said to the other tourists who were disturbed by the noise with a smile and embarrassedly said: "We are sorry, we will leave now, we will leave now, we will not disturb you, please don't mind, we will definitely educate the child well when we go home, and this kind of thing will not happen again..."
As they talked, they were walking down the mountain with their children, frowning and scolding them as they walked: "Look at you, little kid, how can you treat your parents like this? Didn't you say you wanted to come up here to play? You cried and made a fuss, and your parents finally made time for you and came to play with you. Now you change your mind. Is it necessary to make such a fuss?"
How embarrassing! Really, you forgot everything I taught you, didn't you? Damn, it's true that children are hard to teach. If you do this again, I will beat you, don't you know? A filial son is born under the golden stick, maybe I beat you hard, and you will stick to me in the future, looking at me eagerly, wanting to support me in my old age, and wishing to drive you away like a dog! "
The child was frightened, stunned, and burst into tears: "Don't chase me away! Don't hit me! What right do you have to hit me? You never hit me normally! If you treat me like this again, I will hate you to death! I will hate you for the rest of my life! I hate all of you! Wuwuwuwu - you are just bullying me because I am a child. Once I am no longer a child, I will run away immediately and never come back to find you again!"
The person who spoke got angry when he heard this, and immediately picked up the child and started beating him: "You little kid, you are so disobedient. I told you not to cry, but you didn't listen. I asked you to be obedient, but you didn't listen. I asked you to be quiet, but you didn't listen. So you want to beat, scold, and chase you away, right? If you continue like this, I will not care about you anymore and I will let go of your hand!"
The crowd became more and more noisy.
"Who still has a signal?"
“My phone has become garbage.”
"Look, a blackboard. It's useless. I clearly remembered that it still had power before I sorted it out last night! What use can this thing be now? What should we do? Wuwuwu——"
"I wanted to call my friend to let him know I was safe. We had agreed to come together, so how could this happen? What should I do?"
The students mixed in the crowd, looking at each other and then at the teacher.
The teacher suddenly felt a little embarrassed, his face flushed, and he said to everyone, "Since there is no signal now and we have been climbing for so long, why don't we sit down and rest for a while? Maybe someone downstairs will find the problem soon and come over to fix it. By the time they come over to fix it, we should have finished our meal."
Everyone nodded.
The students all sat down to rest.
The students who had bought something sat down to take a breath in the rest area, and then they could not wait to take out their pockets and pull out the things they had just bought. They happily showed off to their friends around them: "Look, this is what I just bought. Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it worth it? I only spent three dollars on it."
My friends were very curious: "Wow! It's amazing that it's so cheap. We have never seen anything so beautiful and so cheap."
A student not far away raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked, "Could it be that I was cheated? If something nice is too cheap, there might be something wrong with it. Either there are bugs inside, or there is a curse, or someone is selling it at a loss and then finds someone to transfer their bad luck. Isn't that a common saying? Don't pick up money you see on the ground while walking, it might be a ghost who has blinded your eyes and it is paper money."
The student who was shopping frowned and waved his hand impatiently: "Don't talk about this, it's so unpleasant! I don't want to hear it! If you think it's unlucky, just walk away! It will definitely not affect you!"
The student who said that it was unlucky snorted and walked away.
The student who was buying things continued to hold the Bodhisattva statue and said to the students around him with a smile: "You don't know how happy I was when I saw it. This is a rare good thing. Most people don't have this luck and usually can't find such a thing."
The students around him clapped their hands: "Wow! That's amazing! I also want to have such good luck, I'm so jealous."
The student who was shopping showed a happy expression and nodded: "Yes."
He thought to himself, say more, say more.
Suddenly one of the children not far away looked over, saw the Bodhisattva statue in the student's hand, and screamed, "Ahhhh——"
Everyone was shocked and asked the child, "What happened? What happened? What did you see?"
The child covered his face, tightly grasped the hands of the people around him, and cried loudly, mumbling: "I saw a red-haired evil ghost with a green face and fangs. It was very scary, too scary. I didn't dare to look at it a second time. There were so many eyes looking at me. It was so scary. I have never seen so many eyes. Didn't you see it? Aren't you scared?"
The students were embarrassed and went over to ask, "Little boy, are you seeing things? This is clearly a Guanyin statue!"
The child shook his head vigorously, hid behind the adults, and screamed, "Don't come over! Don't get close to me! I'm scared! I'm going to fall down! I'm going to die! I don't want to see! Don't try to hurt me! You're going to kill me, and you're going to kill yourself!"
The child almost sprained his ankle when he was screaming. It is very high here and he could die if he fell from here.
The students didn't dare to approach, and the adults quickly pulled the child away, looking apologetic and saying, "I'm sorry, the child was frightened by the wind just now, and may have been a little nervous and saw it wrongly. Don't worry, I'll take him away now, and I won't disturb you."
After the adult apologized, he dragged the child away. I thought he was going to force the child to leave, but the child was so eager to leave the mountain. I felt angry and funny at the same time. I scolded the child as I walked, and we walked farther and farther away. But it would be impossible for us to reach the foot of the mountain in a short time.
The students looked at each other, then at the student who was still holding the Guanyin statue, and began to discuss in whispers.
"Did the kid see it wrong?"
"I think it could be, but it could not be. Do you remember the strong wind just now? It was so scary. I was scared, let alone a child? It's normal to be scared, and it's normal to see things wrongly. But, don't you think so? The child's face was really ugly. Moreover, if he was scared because of the strong wind, how could he see things wrongly now, and it was someone else's thing?"
"Maybe this thing is really unlucky. We should get as far away as possible to avoid being affected. For things like this, it is better to believe it."
Everyone nodded, and some of the students dispersed.
The student holding the Guanyin statue had a gloomy expression. He looked at the people around him with a weird and twisted smile and asked, "Excuse me, do you want to leave too? I don't mind. In fact, you can all leave. I can do it alone."
The student asked doubtfully, "Really? Can you really do that?"
My friend said, "Forget it. We'll stay with you. It's just a thing. What are you afraid of? They are just too timid. There's nothing to say. Don't hate them. They are mentally ill and refuse to speak out. They blame us for everything. They will definitely talk nonsense later. We will just pretend they don't exist. It's nothing."
The student nodded: "Okay!"
He smiled, held the Guanyin statue in his hands, faced the mirror, stared at himself in the mirror, and murmured, "If I say it's a good thing, then it must be a good thing. I won't be wrong. I paid for it!"
The student nodded, and the person in the mirror also nodded. He hid the mirror of the Guanyin statue, and the person in the mirror also closed a door.
The student murmured, "It will definitely be fine."
The person in the mirror muttered on the other side: "Just turn it off. I won't see anything wrong again. I'm not a ghost."
He said this with a smile on his face.
When the student heard this, he shuddered and looked around quickly. He didn't see which student was talking, so he grabbed his friend and asked, "Did you hear anything?"
My friend shook his head: "No."
He asked doubtfully, "Are you having a fever? It's just a small matter, isn't it?"
The student smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
He turned his back to everyone and secretly opened the Guanyin statue. He looked into the mirror. There was no one in the mirror. His heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably. He took the mirror out little by little. His hands were shaking a little and the mirror made a crackling sound. The originally complete picture gradually cracked, with many more marks, as if it would shatter into pieces and fall to the ground in the next moment.
The student made up his mind and snatched the mirror down, holding it against his own face, staring into the mirror to make sure that he couldn't be mistaken. From this angle, his face must be in the mirror. However, there was still no one in the mirror, only a door. It was pitch black, and there seemed to be some patterns on it, but this did not make him feel at ease.
He grabbed his friend with shaking hands, handed him the mirror, and asked cautiously, "Do you see what this thing is?"
The friend looked at him in confusion, took the mirror, looked at his own face and smiled.
