Due to the use of the power of the Holy Gu, Lin Dan is now completely controlled by hunger. She walked into the classroom with a steady pace and quickly sat back in her seat.
Yu Yeying knew what had happened as soon as she saw her expression. She immediately took out the small porcelain bottle from her schoolbag, stuffed it into her hand, and said anxiously, "Eat quickly!"
Lin Dan raised his head and poured the poisonous insects in the bottle directly into his mouth. In order to conceal her tracks, she rolled the prepared poisonous insects into pills and carried them with her at all times. People who didn't know the truth thought she was taking medicine.
Gao Shukai looked in her direction from time to time, and his thick black eyebrows gradually frowned. He touched Ai Yu's arm and whispered, "Are you familiar with Lin Dan? If you are, go ask her why she takes medicine. I found that she took more than a dozen pills in one go. Isn't that bad?"
Ai Yu stared at the jade pendant in her hand with a dazed expression. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She said in a trance: "I'm not familiar with it. Ask someone else." Just now, the dragon pattern carved on the jade pendant came to life, bit her fingertips, and sucked a drop of her blood.
She had encountered too many supernatural events, so naturally she would not think that this was an illusion. She released a trace of spiritual energy and wanted to examine the jade pendant carefully, but found that the ancestor had returned with an ugly look on his face, "This jade pendant actually recognizes you as its master?" His tone was not very good, which scared Ai Yu.
"Master, could this jade pendant be an evil object?"
“No, no, this is a space spiritual device. There should be things left by the original owner in it. You can take a look after you go back.” The man sighed, and then his figure slowly faded. When he was about to disappear, he suddenly glanced at Lin Dan with a very deep gaze.
After Zhou Nan returned to the classroom, he immediately went to Ai Yu to ask for the jade pendant back. However, he didn't expect Ai Yu to act like a spoiled child and refuse to give it to him, which made him very embarrassed.
The two of them were fooling around, acting like childhood sweethearts, which made the other students jealous. Gao Shukai didn't even look at the two of them. He took out a ballpoint pen, gently poked a girl in the front row, and asked in a low voice: "Are you familiar with Lin Dan?"
"Not familiar." The girl shook her head decisively.
Gao Shukai changed a girl and asked, "Are you familiar with Lin Dan?"
“Not familiar.”
He asked several girls in a row, but the answers he got were all that they were not familiar with him, which made him feel frustrated.
"Brother Kai, why are you asking this? Lin Dan is very withdrawn. Apart from Yu Yeying, she never interacts with other classmates." The boy sitting in the front row turned his head and said.
Gao Shukai certainly knew that Yu Yeying was very familiar with Lin Dan, but what was the use? Lin Dan took so many medicines in one breath, but Yu Yeying, as her good friend, not only did not care, but also handed her bottle after bottle. She really had no common sense at all. Can medicine be taken randomly?
Gao Shukai wanted to pull his hair, but when he felt the hard gel, he quickly put his hand down. This was the hairstyle he had worked hard on for over half an hour, and it absolutely could not be messed up.
Just at this moment, the class bell rang. Zhou Nan was unable to get the jade pendant back and had to return to his seat. Lin Dan swallowed three bottles of Gu pills in one breath, and only then did he feel better. She took out her Chinese textbook and prepared to start her morning reading, but she saw her head teacher waving at her and calling out, "Lin Dan, come with me to the office."
Lin Dan followed immediately.
"Take this money," the head teacher took out an envelope from the drawer and said softly, "A kind-hearted person heard about your situation and came to me, saying that he wanted to help you study and go to college. This 5,000 yuan is a scholarship he provides for you this semester, and I hope you can make the best use of it. The school gives you 238 yuan in poverty subsidies every month, which may be a great help to others. After all, they have a father and a mother, and an extra 200 yuan can make their lives a little better. But you are different. You have no parents, and you have to find ways to solve all the expenses in your life by yourself. 200 yuan a month is really a drop in the bucket. I hope you don't refuse this money and use it well."
Lin Dan stared at the envelope for a while and said seriously, "Teacher Chen, can I ask who this person is?"
The head teacher shook his head and said, "You don't need to ask this. He asked me not to reveal any of his information. He helps you only because you need it, and he doesn't expect you to return anything. You should study hard and don't have any psychological burden. There are good people and bad people in today's society, but good people are the majority after all. Don't lose hope in life."
Lin Dan thought for a moment and said sincerely, "Thank you, teacher, and thank you to that kind person. I will study hard." If someone with ulterior motives offered her help, she would definitely refuse firmly. But this person didn't want anything from her and was even unwilling to reveal his true identity. Then she would not reject other people's kindness for the sake of so-called self-esteem. When her witchcraft becomes more advanced, she will definitely find this person and reward him double.
She used to live in a Miao village surrounded by mountains. Whenever she needed any medicinal herbs, she could just go to the mountains to pick them without spending any money. But things are different now. There are no wild medicinal herbs for her to collect in the city. If she needs to make insect-attracting powder or poison-breeding liquid, she has to spend money to buy the raw materials. Many of the Chinese herbal medicines are very precious, and often one or two grams is worth three or four hundred yuan. Such a large expense is definitely not something a poor student like her can afford.
Without money, she can't afford to raise the Gu, and if she can't afford to raise the Gu, she can't survive. This is a vicious cycle. No matter how stubborn Lin Dan is, he will never joke about his own life. This money is like a blessing from heaven and a timely help to her now.
She took the envelope and bowed to her head teacher.
The head teacher stood up quickly and said ashamedly: "Lin Dan, there is one thing I want to apologize to you for. Yesterday I shouldn't have introduced your family situation in front of the whole class. You also have self-esteem, and the teacher shouldn't hurt your self-esteem. You must remember that poverty is not the original sin. As long as you are willing to work hard, everything will change. In three years, it will be the college entrance examination. At this starting point, all people are the same, and there is no distinction between high and low. If you are admitted to a key university, you can initially change your destiny. Please don't give up, and the teacher will do his best to help you."
Lin Dan bowed again to express his gratitude, holding the envelope in his hand with mixed feelings. Although the outside world is more chaotic than the small mountain village, it also has a beautiful side.
The head teacher patted her on the shoulder and said, "After school, go to the bank to open an account and tell me the account number. I will then tell that kind person. From now on, he can directly transfer the money to your card without going through me."
Lin Dan nodded in agreement, and after walking out of the office, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips. She likes this teacher, this school, and even more so the kind-hearted person who wishes to remain anonymous.
During the study class, everyone was reading aloud, but Gao Shukai raised the book to cover his face and kept looking towards the door. He noticed Lin Dan walking in with a thick envelope, with a hint of joy in his eyes and brows. He quickly lowered his head and laughed uncontrollably.
The boy sitting in front of him asked quietly: "Brother Kai, what are you laughing at?"
"What's it got to do with you?" Gao Shukai said impatiently.
"Brother Kai, are there any activities tonight? How about inviting everyone to eat skewers and then go to the Internet cafe to play games?"
This kind of activities are usually organized with money from Gao Shukai. Who can blame him for being generous and a rich second-generation? Usually he enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by stars, and whenever someone proposed something, he would immediately agree. But today, he refused in an uncharacteristic way: "No!"
"Why not go? Don't tell me you want to go home and study!"
"I have no money." Gao Shukai touched the tip of his nose awkwardly.
"You are the tallest, richest and most handsome boy in Haicheng No. 1 Middle School. How could you be without money?" the boy exclaimed in surprise.
"I've used all my money to do big things!" Gao Shukai said in a serious tone. Although the Gao family is extremely wealthy, Gao's father is very strict with Gao Shukai and only gives him 3,000 yuan in pocket money every month. This is already a lot for an average student, but he has a wide circle of friends and is a well-known sucker, so three thousand yuan is really not enough for him.
Thinking of the money he had spent on his extravagant eating and drinking, Gao Shukai couldn't help but feel a pang of pain. He said righteously, "Don't come to me to have a party in the future. I have to save my money for future use and don't spend it carelessly."
The boy didn't believe him at all and thought he wanted to save money to buy a motorcycle again, so he agreed reluctantly.
Lin Dan did not notice the conversation between the two. He just handed the envelope to Yu Yeying to look at, explained the whole story, and then put it into the compartment of his schoolbag.
"Five thousand yuan is enough for you to buy a lot of medicinal herbs, right?" Yu Yeying clapped her hands silently, her face full of joy.
"It's just enough. We still have to be frugal." Lin Dan said cautiously.
"I will definitely save money. I'm easy to support." Yu Yeying whispered in Lin Dan's ear: "My lawsuit will go to court in a few days. My parents will give me child support every month. I will give you all the money when I get it. I can also help you."
"Be good, keep your money." Lin Dan ruffled the girl's hair with a gentle tone.
Yu Yeying blushed, lowered her head and stopped talking.
After morning self-study, Yu's father suddenly came to the school. He first pretended to ask about Yu Yeying's situation, then dragged Huang Xuan out of the classroom and beat and scolded her, blaming her for lying that year, which led to his daughter being stranded outside for three years and suffering a lot.
Huang Xuan was beaten so hard that she cried out loudly. Upon hearing the news, her class teacher rushed over and, while persuading Yu's father to calm down, she called Huang Xuan's parents. Yu Yeying leaned on the window to watch the excitement. She had no expression at all and her eyes were dark and deep.
After a while, Huang Xuan's parents arrived, and naturally a conflict broke out between the two sides. In the chaos, Yu's father said he would sue Huang Xuan and demand that the Huang family compensate his daughter one million yuan for mental damages, otherwise he would make a big deal out of it and make Huang Xuan disgraced like Xu Xin.
Huang Xuan's parents were obviously frightened and quickly pulled him aside to negotiate, their faces full of anxiety and panic. Huang Xuan took off her coat and covered her head with it, not daring to face the classmates who were watching her.
After all the fuss, Yu's father's real purpose was to ask for money. If the news of the neighborhood demolition had not yet been heard when they divorced, and if he still had some feelings for his mother, he would not have been willing to leave the broken house to her. Family, love, friendship, everything is inseparable from the word interest, but there are always a few exceptions.
Thinking of this, Yu Yeying turned around to look at Lin Dan and slowly smiled.
