Horror Kindergarten
Teacher Lin subconsciously pulled back her hand and met Xia Yi's gaze. It seemed as if many inverted thorns had grown densely on her back. If she was not careful, she would be cut into pieces. After a long time, Teacher Lin came to her senses and frowned. Seeing Xia Yi's unfriendly look, she was actually scared by a little brat.
"Go in. Once you enter the solitary confinement room, you must reflect on your mistakes! Be good, and once you realize your mistakes, the teachers will definitely take you out." After Teacher Lin finished speaking, without waiting for Xia Yi to react, he pushed Xia Yi hard on the back, trying to push him into the solitary confinement room.
Xia Yi took a step to the right, avoiding Teacher Lin's hand.
He stared at Teacher Lin's fingers carefully for a few seconds, smiled, and stepped into the confinement room.
"Bang" the door of the solitary confinement room slammed shut.
Xia Yi took two steps. The solitary confinement room had no windows and was very small. He couldn't see anything inside clearly until the door was completely closed. Now that the door was closed, it was as if all light was artificially isolated, and it became dark and cold.
She raised her hand and touched the wall.
The walls were smooth, without any decorative patterns. The room was small and empty, with no decorations to be found. There was no place to sit, and the floor was not tiled; it felt like a harsh cement floor.
Xia Yi walked around the confinement room, found a corner and calmed down.
Without the sound of people walking back and forth, the room fell silent for a moment.
One, two, three, four, Xia Yi counted the numbers quietly in his heart...
Twenty-eight thousand eight hundred... At about six o'clock in the evening, "bang," there was suddenly a sound of a hard object being dropped to the ground in the room. The movement was very light, but it was inevitable to make a sound in the quiet little room.
"Dong, dong, dong..." It was released nine times.
Half an hour after the thudding sound disappeared, Xia Yi stood up, walked to the place where the sound had just been made, and waved his hand gently.
"Click!" The fingertips touched something hard.
Xia Yi raised his hand and touched it. It was square in shape, with monsters that looked like apes and monkeys carved on it.
Like the bronze tripod she saw in the warehouse that morning.
The difference is that the tripod here is filled with something fine like incense ash, and it becomes moister as you go down.
When you insert it and take it off, your hands will be full of stickiness.
Xia Yi carefully searched the contents of the small tripod. There was nothing there except moist ashes. She raised her hand and smelled it. It was the refreshing scent of a natural forest after the rain, without any strange smells like urine or chicken blood.
"Ding-dong~ Children, gather and go eat." Suddenly, Teacher Yuan's voice slowly seeped in through the wall.
Xia Yi's stomach rumbled and she leaned close to the wall and put her ear to it. She had been here for the entire afternoon, and before the bell just now, she hadn't heard any sound at all. There were two bells for the end of get out of class and no bell for nap that should have rang in the afternoon, but neither did they.
"Ding-ling-ling~"
As Xia Yi put his ear to the wall, the ringing sound came through the wall again.
At the same time, three incense sticks were inserted side by side in the center of the small tripod. The incense stick in the middle lit up first, flickering in the dark room. Then the remaining two incense sticks in the same small tripod lit up, and then the incense sticks in the small tripods in the corners lit up together.
The incense burned quickly, and in an instant, a large amount of smoke filled the small confinement room.
As soon as one incense stick is lit, another one pops up.
Xia Yi immediately bent down and moved to the position of the small tripod. She took out the incense, and the incense in her hand burned. Another incense stick came out of the small tripod and also burned.
The incense in his hand could not be extinguished no matter what method he used, and the small tripod seemed to be nailed to the spot and could not be moved.
The incense burned again and again. Xia Yi lay on the ground, covering her mouth with her sleeves, and coughed hard. Since Teacher Zhou wanted to use her body, he would definitely not cause much harm to her body. She bet that Teacher Zhou must be monitoring her somewhere.
But ten minutes passed, twenty minutes passed, and things did not go as Xia Yi expected.
Starting from where Xia Yi was lying, the ground began to flash with blood-red lines, and spread one by one along the position of the small tripod, densely covering the entire floor of the confinement room.
Xia Yi couldn't lie still any longer. If she didn't take action, she might suffocate to death in the solitary confinement room.
She stood up and moved to the door of the confinement room. The door of the confinement room was the wooden door of an ordinary classroom. The door handle was covered with dirt because it had not been renovated for a long time. When she turned it gently, she could see signs that the door handle was loose.
Xia Yi twisted the door and pushed out with all his strength.
Bang bang bang. Unexpectedly, the door was not strong. Xia Yi knocked it open on the third time.
The smoke from the solitary confinement room seeped out through the crack in the door.
Xia Yi covered his mouth and nose and walked outside. He stopped in the corridor. In the dim long corridor, all the room doors were open. Some of the nine doors were opened only a crack, while others were wide open. Bright light shone through each room door. The sound of children playing games on the playground after dinner also came through the woods and along the direction of the building gate.
Xia Yi slowed down his breathing and ran out of the building quickly.
As she quickly walked through, she saw the scene inside the first door. The room was very large and filled with bookshelves. On each bookshelf was a red slogan that read, "This is a book every parent should read."
Four adults were sitting together on a long desk covered with floral patterns in the middle. Xia Yi paused. She knew everyone in the room. They had all appeared on Teacher Zhou's huge list. The ones at the front were Bai Zhu's father, Gao Minmin's mother...all of them were there.
"You Baizhu don't like to be clean, but our child is the one who really doesn't like to be clean. He doesn't even wipe his nose when it runs down, and he wipes his ears on his clothes. His clothes are so dirty during the holidays. What I can't accept the most is that he likes to suck his fingers. After picking his nose and ears, he puts his dirty hands in his mouth, eating all the bacteria. I told her about it, but she still complained. I don't know how a girl can be so unhygienic."
"Mother Junjun, I'll teach you a trick that's guaranteed to work. Just tell him that eating too much earwax will make him dumb, and eating too much mucus will cause him to stutter... Children don't have to be disobedient to be obedient. If they say they are obedient, then they really listen to us adults the most. This trick is really effective."
"Really? I'll try it tomorrow after I pick up the child."
…
Xia Yi frowned and continued to walk forward. The second door was wide open. Except for some changes in the pattern on the desk, the layout inside was exactly the same as the first room. Sitting in front of the desk were also parents of students, the second tier of parents on Teacher Zhou's list.
"Can your Jiajia figure out addition and subtraction within 100?"
"It's nothing, let alone within a hundred, I'd be thankful if he could figure out within fifty. Look at me now, I work myself to death and only make five or six thousand a month. If Jia Jia doesn't work harder, she'll end up living a worse life than me. What will I do? Beating and scolding her is useless."
"Don't hit the child, you have to give your son some sweet treats. If he ranks within a certain number of places on the test, buy him something he wants. Of course, you don't have to buy him something every time he completes a task. If he completes it once out of three promises, he will definitely start studying happily."
"real?"
………
"That won't work. Children have no self-control. If you allow them to watch TV for an hour today, they'll sneak in and watch an hour and a half tomorrow."
"I've made up my mind. Southwest University of the Arts. I took the entrance exam before and almost got in. My child inherited my talent, and the teaching environment is very supportive. There's no doubt he'll get into an art university."
After passing through the sixth, seventh, and eighth doors, Xia Yi approached the open gate. The sound of children singing garden songs could be heard from outside the gate. It was a chorus song that would be performed at the Thanksgiving meeting. The loud singing penetrated the clear sky, reflecting all their good moods. Xia Yi slowly stood behind the ninth door. The ninth door was filled with despicable parenting tips, brutal expectations imposed on children, and parenting tips that were based on comparison and showing off.
It shouldn't be like this. Children shouldn't be treated like this.
Something is wrong here.
After passing the ninth door, a familiar voice sounded, and Xia Yi couldn't help but look through the crack of the ninth door.
The woman with fine lines on the corners of her eyes stood in the middle of the room, her hair pinned up with hairpins to hide the increasing number of white strands underneath. The low ponytail carried a gentleness that Xia Yi was all too familiar with.
Xia Yi gripped the door handle tightly, and her breathing slowed down. The woman looked exactly like her mother.
"This is a white lie. When I was a child, my mother told me that if I didn't finish the rice in my bowl, I would get pockmarks. I believed it, didn't I? I never wasted any food. Children are like this, they remember to eat but not to be beaten. If we are stingy with our benefits, they will be more filial to us when they grow up."
The voice is also very similar, but it would be ten times more similar if he didn't speak.
Xia Yi blinked hard. The woman seemed to notice that someone was looking at her. She stopped talking and turned to look at Xia Yi.
Xia Yi and the woman's eyes met, they looked so beautiful that she smiled subconsciously.
The woman also smiled, and her arms hanging at her sides suddenly jumped up, her clothes were torn, like two long whips covered with long hair, which instantly hit Xia Yi's collarbone. Xia Yi staggered back. The ninth door was the door closest to the main gate of the building. She retreated to the front of the gate and was only one step away from being knocked out of the building.
One arm was retracted, and the second arm was extended and connected just right. Xia Yi instinctively moved one step to the left.
This resistance was like stirring up a hornet's nest. Countless parents of students came out of their rooms and crowded together in the corridor.
They stared at Xia Yi and smiled together. Xia Yi was particularly familiar with the curve of their smiles.
It’s exactly the same smile that teachers Lin and Yuan have on ordinary days.
