Even after leaving, these students had no intention of returning to the classroom to study.
These past few days, they had been too lazy to attend evening self-study sessions because their homeroom teacher was away on a business trip and no one was supervising them. Now, they had a perfect excuse for one of their brothers to be heartbroken.
So, at the urging of a few people, the group decided to chase after freedom like the evening breeze.
What does that mean?
There was a small patch of wasteland behind the school playground that was overgrown with weeds. The tall weeds covered a small section of the school wall, and on that part of the wall that was covered, there was a hole close to the ground, not too big or too small, just big enough for a person to crawl through.
So, these people decided to go outside the school like the wind, through this hole of freedom, to pursue their own freedom—the internet.
Rumor has it that this hidden cave entrance was discovered by a student in an honors class while catching insects in the summer.
Returning to their plans, although drinking might be more suitable for dealing with heartbreak, the cost of drinking and eating is much higher than going online, which they simply cannot afford with their meager living expenses, so they had to give up.
Anyway, having a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) in your mouth while surfing the internet has a unique kind of joy.
After arriving at the cave entrance under the cover of night, the group exchanged glances and decided that one of them would go first, taking off his vest and starting to crawl in.
One by one, after everyone had gone, it was Cai Shichen's turn to keep watch. He put his hand on the zipper of his jacket, unzipped it, and intended to take it off. But just then, a cold wind blew by, making him feel a slight chill.
Thinking that he was thin enough to get through without taking off his coat, he simply didn't take off his clothes and started crawling through the hole skillfully.
Everything was going smoothly until he got stuck halfway through the crawling hole because of his clothes.
Unfortunately, he wouldn't have been in any trouble if he hadn't unzipped his jacket, but because it was, the unfolded jacket bunched up on both sides of his body, squeezing him firmly in place.
"Hey, Lao Chen! What are you doing? Come here quickly."
"I...I think I'm stuck."
"What? How did you get stuck? Even Dazhuang didn't get stuck, but you did? Stop messing around, come here right now!"
"I'm serious, please come and help me."
Seeing that Cai Shichen was calling out earnestly and didn't seem to be joking, the group of truants didn't dare to delay and hurriedly went to help.
Heave-ho, heave-ho, pulling up the radish! He tried several times but failed. Not only that, the wall, already dilapidated due to a large hole, visibly shook from the effort of pulling the radish. In the dim moonlight, he could even see some cracks appearing on it. Clearly, it was in danger of collapsing!
"No, stop pulling the toilet! This wall is going to collapse!" Upon realizing this, Cai Shichen quickly stopped the people from pulling him and showed a look of lingering fear.
You should know that this wall is three or four meters high and several tens of centimeters thick, and it is made of bricks and concrete. If it really collapses and you are stuck here, you won't be able to move and you might be crushed to death!
"Then, what should we do?" These were the words of the person who had just broken up with his girlfriend. The ridiculous and dangerous situation he was in had made him forget all about being heartbroken.
After thinking for a moment, Cai Shichen dared not let these people use brute force anymore. He hurriedly replied, "Someone needs to come and pull me back from behind!"
"Stop messing around, you're blocking the way, who can get back?"
Yes, it's not just Cai Shichen's problem anymore. If he continues to block the way, no one else will be able to get back.
"Well, you can climb over the wall."
"Don't do that. It's a three- or four-meter-high wall. If we can climb over it, we won't bother drilling a hole."
"No, listen to me. Two or three of you support one, and you can get over it." To be fair, Xiao Cai's mind is quick; for his own sake, he immediately came up with this terrible idea.
"Even if we went up, the bottom was overgrown with weeds and pitch black, so we wouldn't dare jump down."
"It's alright! I won't die from the fall! If you guys don't hurry, I'm going to be crushed to death in a minute!" Cai Shichen, who valued his life above all else, shouted, insisting that these people do as he said. He was terrified and no longer cared about others.
Although he kept shouting like that, no one dared to actually translate it. They only tried it briefly, and then it didn't work.
"Hurry up, hurry up! I'm going to get crushed to death!"
"Hey, stop making a fuss, we're trying to figure something out too."
"What kind of plan is this! We could have just flipped over! If you guys had been any later, I would have been crushed to death!"
"Quiet down, let me think. Hmm... I've got it! Get your phone out and call Black Egg and the others for backup."
This was a good idea, and the group immediately took out their phones, using up the data and battery they usually wouldn't use, to contact other people they knew.
Meanwhile, it was already the second period of evening self-study. The "black egg" they were talking about was sitting on his stool, battling all sides from the top of the canyon. For safety, notification sounds and other alerts were naturally turned off.
Just then, a student from Class 4 rushed back into the classroom from outside and plopped down next to Heidan, saying, "Heidan, Heidan, stop playing! I went out for a smoke and saw Bull Demon King checking everyone's phones!"
The news quickly spread throughout Class 4 of Grade 9. Anyone who had their phone on them or charging it under the multimedia device hurriedly put away their prohibited electronic devices.
Even if being caught doesn't mean you have to go home and reflect on your actions, having your phone confiscated is still pretty upsetting.
After a flurry of activity, the legendary Bull Demon King finally entered the classroom carrying a large sack. His eyes, as round as bull's eyes, swept over the class before he strode heavily to the multimedia equipment and carefully inspected it.
After seeing that there were no problems, he knew that the class had known the news in advance and had put away their phones and other belongings.
Seeing this, he didn't pursue the matter further, because the students in the regular classes at Baishi No. 1 Middle School were quite wild, and he often got into fights with them when he checked their cell phones a few years ago.
Over time, he stopped caring.
After the damned Bull Demon King left, the students of Class 4, Grade 9 breathed a sigh of relief, but for a while they didn't dare to continue playing, for fear that the other side might come back and search the place again.
Therefore, the distress signals sent by Cai Shichen and his companions were destined to go unanswered.
