Chapter 8 Chapter 8
9.20. Sunday afternoon.
One day, two days, the days of studying are like a vast ocean, with no end in sight, except for water, it is water.I don't know where Lang Bai found out that school is over on Wednesday afternoon, and I don't know which grade is on vacation, whether it is elementary school or junior high school, I don't know.Anyway, followed them that day.
On Thursday morning, Lang Bai was staying in the teahouse. He always felt that something was wrong and he still couldn't figure it out.Luo Yun went home, and he was left alone in the huge teahouse. The black cat that Luo Yun took care of a few days ago was always missing and could not be found.
After a leisurely day, at dinner time, the landline rang.
"Hello?" "Is this Lang Bai? I'm Luo Ling. Where are you?" Luo Ling called and seemed to be asking what was going on. "I'm at home, what's the matter?" Lang Bai gnawed on the dried fish and replied unhurriedly. "Are you not feeling well? You didn't ask for leave. The head teacher was so anxious that he didn't find out that you were not there until after the exam."
Luo Ling looked very concerned and surprised over there, "Exam? What exam?" Lang Bai stopped gnawing on the dried fish, "Master, today is the monthly exam." Bei Ciqian took the words and gave Lang Bai With a thunderbolt from the blue, he finally remembered what the head teacher had said in his loudspeaker-like voice that he couldn't hear clearly at the entrance of the village.Lang Bai gnawed half of the small fish and fell to the ground with a snap, and silently hung up the phone.
"Master! Take a taxi!" Lang Bai stopped the taxi on the street, "It's too late, hurry up!" The master hovered on the edge of speeding, and finally sent Lang Bai to the school gate, and Lang Bai ran inside as soon as the car door opened.The driver stuck his head out of the window, looking at Lang Bai's far away back and tearing his throat: "Little comrade, you haven't paid yet!"
"Credit!"
After entering the school gate, he discovered more serious problems. He didn't bring anything with him.
So, ten minutes before the exam, a bastard borrowed things one by one at the school gate.
"Student, do you have any extra pens?" Lang Bai grabbed the last one that came in.
The boy looked him up and down, with a lollipop in his mouth.Lang Bai looked at him very familiarly, a bit like the candy delivery man.
"Student, I'm in a hurry. Do you have any extra pens? Just one, and a refill is fine." Lang Bai pulled his arm, his hands trembling slightly.
"No." The boy resolutely refused, and took out a carbon pen and a card pen from his pocket, and showed him: "I only have two."
Lang Bai was in a bad mood, his facial expression began to lose control, and he finally gritted his teeth: "Let's go with fate, I won't take the exam."
"But I still have one." The man took out a carbon pen from his trouser pocket as if telling a bad joke, Lang Bai's eyes twitched, he took the pen with mixed feelings, and said heavily: " Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Entering the examination room, Lang Bai turned the carbon pen, looked at the densely packed questions on the answer sheets and the pitiful fill-in-the-blank and big questions on the answer sheet, and couldn't help but clicked: "I'm careless."
10.1. 7:05 AM
Lang Bai lay on the rocking chair and swayed, holding the remote control and staring at the screen on the TV.He looked up at the hanging clock, it was seven past five.He couldn't help feeling irritable.His feet fluttered for a while: "Oh, what about the military parade?" After wiping the tea set, Luo Yun looked over at him, and couldn't help laughing seeing Lang Bai's angry look.He suppressed his smile and answered him in a voice that did not tremble as much as possible: "There will be a military parade next year."
Lang Bai turned his head up suddenly, and looked at him in a strange posture. The two sides were silent for a while, and Lang Bai said, "Isn't there every year?" He took out the teapot and started to make tea, and replied lightly.Lang Bai lowered his head silently, stepped off the chair and walked outside, leaving a sentence: "Then I'll go out for a stroll."
The air in the morning is always fresh, and there are few people walking on the road, but there is also a sense of beauty.The leaves of the sycamore tree have begun to turn yellow, and the yellow and green figures are constantly intertwined, overlapping, and the breeze blows, bringing the rustling sound of the leaves, so the leaves of the sycamore tree fall silently to the ground.
Snapped--
A pair of powerful big feet stepped directly on the sycamore leaves. The boy's tight calf muscles were exposed. Holding mineral water in his left hand, he stepped forward to say hello to Lang Bai: "Good morning." The hearty greeting let Lang Bai At a loss, he froze for a few seconds.That man also looked quite embarrassed, Lang Bai's mind was spinning rapidly wondering who he was.After looking up and down, he finally saw the gray-blue headband on his forehead, and he quickly pretended to be surprised: "Oh, brother Yang, long time no see, haha." He smiled politely and looked at "Yang" Brother" seemed not very happy, he slowly closed his mouth.
"Brother Yang" glanced at him tentatively, thinking in his heart: "I didn't recognize the wrong person, isn't this Lang Bai? Why doesn't he seem to have seen me before? Sure enough, my sense of existence is too low." Then He said to Lang Bai in a friendly way: "I just had a vacation yesterday."
Lang Bai snorted, "Ah, that's right, I was on vacation yesterday...it's not like seeing each other every day."
He scratched his head and looked around pretending nothing happened, so as not to look so embarrassed.
At the same time, he was thinking in his heart: "I'm so embarrassed that I want to scratch the wall, why do you have to say hello to me, I don't remember what you look like at all."
"Let's go."
"Brother Yang" was silent for a few seconds, said something to him and passed him by.Seeing this opportunity, Lang Bai quickly echoed: "Brother Yang, goodbye."
"Brother Yang" stopped silently and turned around, and replied with a complicated expression: "Luo Fan."
"what?"
Lang Bai waved his embarrassing right hand in the air and stopped moving. He hid it behind his back stiffly and laughed a few times. "Is there any way to ease the embarrassment now? I want to go home." Lang Bai complained in his heart, when his right hand suddenly started to twitch again, trying to get rid of the control of his brain.
"Master, I'm just joking, don't—" Lang Bai tried to stop the out-of-control right hand with his left hand, but his left foot tripped over his right foot and fell forward.His right hand directly grabbed Luo Fan's ankle in front of him, and with the help of inertia, Luo Fan was also dragged and fell down.
With a pop, the water that Luo Fan just drank into his mouth also spewed out.The mineral water fell straight out of its bottle, forming a vast sea in the air, and wet the ground.
Lang Bai: "...Brother, I didn't do it on purpose."
Luo Fan turned his head and quietly looked at Lang Bai, who was also lying on the ground but looked at him pitifully. There was no wave in his heart, and he even moved his feet to get out of his confinement.Unexpectedly, the child would not let go at all.
He said to him earnestly: "I understand the truth, can you let go of your hand first."
"My hands are cramping."
"Fart your mother."
In the store, Lang Bai and Luo Fan were silent, each eating the small wontons in their bowls, for fear of meeting eyes.Lang Bai was just thinking about whether to open his mouth to find something to talk about, when Luo Fan put down the soup bowl and spoke first: "Lang Bai, I have something to do..." He looked embarrassed, and kept tiptoeing on the ground.Lang Bai swallowed the wonton, and said generously, "Brother Fan, just say it."
"We AA still pay each other?"
Lang Bai was so surprised that he didn't even have time to swallow the soup he drank into his mouth, he looked straight at Luo Fan, "What's the difference between you?" Lang Bai complained, and he took another sip of soup, mumbled: "Brother Fan I'll pay directly, it's all right."
Luo Fan didn't expect his answer. He took out the change in his pocket and put it on the table in embarrassment: "Forget it, let it be mine. Let's go."
Then he got up and left the store, Lang Bai was a little confused, so he looked at the money left on the table, and at Luo Fan who had disappeared.
He put the money in his pocket, picked up his mobile phone and scanned the QR code on the table.
"Boss, the money has been transferred to you."
Lang Bai went out for a stroll outside the store, passing by a milk tea shop, and bought a cup.While queuing up, Lang Bai noticed something was wrong with the hair of the woman in front of him.The loose waist-length hair has two or three more white hairs, and some of the hair is very frizzy, and the ends of the hair have begun to split.
Lang Bai didn't intend to make trouble at first, but in the end, his right hand caught off guard and yanked the girl on the head——
The woman shivered, feeling a chill on her head, and found that her wig was gone.She hurriedly looked around, and finally found that the wig was held firmly in Lang Bai's hands.Seeing the eyes of the short-haired woman wanting to stab him, Lang Bai was in a bad mood, and he defended weakly with an earthy face: "Do you believe me when I say I didn't do it on purpose?"
He was panicking to death now, time seemed to slow down several times, and he even thought about his last words.
"Ghost peach, you're a piece of shit."
Snapped--
The woman slapped him so loudly that the people in line in front couldn't help but look back.The woman felt that she couldn't save face, so she scolded him a few words in dialect and pulled off her wig before leaving.Unexpectedly, Lang Bai's hand grabbed tighter than she imagined, and she pulled it several times without success.She was so angry that she shook her hand and left.
Lang Bai caressed his red and swollen cheeks with his left hand, unable to argue.

Suddenly the phone's camera sounded, Lang Bai followed the sound, and happened to see a woman holding up her phone to take pictures of him.
"...It looks pretty good, bear with it."
The swear words he was about to blurt out were so abruptly held back.
Suddenly he remembered something, and searched in the direction the woman left.
"Why are you following me? I don't want the fake after sending you!" The woman stopped and looked back at him angrily.
"Where is the little hairy boy, so skinny and shameless?" She hurt Lang Bai in her heart, blew her bangs, and rolled her eyes at him.
Lang Bai: "Sister, I really didn't do it on purpose. As a return gift, I will give you a few talismans to ward off evil spirits."
Holding the wig in his right hand, he explained guiltily, while with his left hand he took out a few yellow talismans from his pocket and handed them to her.
The woman glanced at the yellow talisman, pulled it over contemptuously, looked at it for a few times, and then wished to smash those talisman papers into his eyeballs.
"Your talisman paper is blank. So arrogant."
Lang Bai took a picture and looked at it, indeed.The paper is clean and nothing.He suddenly realized:
"Oh, I forgot to draw."
"Next time find someone with a foolish brain, or fix your head before you come out to bluff." The woman returned the remaining yellow talisman to him, knocked him on the head, pulled off the wig, and walked away in high heels .
After walking a few steps, the woman heard Lang Bai talking again from behind.
"So--"
"See you at night."
The woman didn't turn her head back, she felt a chill when she heard Lang Bai's words, ignored him, and left the scene quickly.
"Ghost Tao, don't tell me that this wig is made by Luo Fan's hair." Lang Bai looked at his right hand slightly threateningly, but he gave himself a middle finger with his right hand.
"..."
at the same time--
Luo Fan walked around the street again and again, the signs of the food stalls were very eye-catching, accompanied by an attractive fragrance.
"Baked cold noodles." Luo Fan stared blankly at the stall, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Come here, kid?" The boss noticed him and greeted him with a smile from afar.It was only when Luo Fan came to his senses that the boss was ready to start work. "Come on." "Okay."
The boss quickly packed up the tools and started to work.The boss is very enthusiastic, and chats with him from time to time: "The child is for the younger brothers and sisters." The boss is so enthusiastic that Luo Fan is too embarrassed to answer the conversation, and smiles quite normally: "Well, my brother likes it." .”
"Oh, let me just say, you don't look like you like to eat, probably you have younger siblings pestering you to buy it haha."
Luo Fan scratched his head, and the boss asked him some trivial matters. With these words, it is good to bake cold noodles.
Luo Fan touched his pocket, took out a few steel coins from his pocket, and handed them over carefully:
"enough?"
"Enough, come again next time."
The boss watched Luo Fan walking towards a corner, and couldn't stop talking: "Why is this kid going to the orphanage?" Seeing another customer coming the next second, he immediately went to work with a happy smile.
Luo Fan turned the corner and walked straight for a while before reaching the gate of the orphanage.He hesitated for a while, but chose to open the door.
After entering the main building, he hurried upstairs for fear of being seen.It's a pity that it was unfortunate that the dean caught a straight look.The dean pushed his glasses frame, pointed his oily nostrils in the direction of his departure, pointed at his back and began to curse: "Luo Fan, how dare you come back!"
"You can't stay in school, you can't eat a few meals!"
"Is this where you stay? Pack up and leave as soon as you turn [-] next year!"
"What is it, bah."
The dean scolded his voice hoarsely, sucked hard and spit out a mouthful of phlegm, which stuck to the ground with a slap.
Luo Fan ran into a room and quickly locked the wooden door, but the wooden door was in disrepair all year round and the handle fell off at this time.He sighed, listening to the dean's insult downstairs, he could only choose to endure.He simply ignored the wooden door and put the roasted cold noodles on Luo Ling's desk who was still studying.Luo Ling has been silent for a while, and at this moment she was also taken aback, and then smiled: "Well, thank you brother."
Luo Fan couldn't hear the words outside, and didn't exchange pleasantries with him, so he got up and left again.
"Brother is gone, you, be well."
"Well, goodbye brother."

The closed wooden door slowly opened again, accompanied by the creaking and decaying sound.The shell on the wall fell off due to the vibration downstairs, and more or less fell off, exposing the lime wall.
Luo Ling looked at the steaming cold roasted noodles on the table, picked it up and threw it into the trash can without hesitation.After throwing it away, he opened his notebook and wrote down a sentence: "He bought it again, and I threw it away again."
The mediocre time passed quickly, but Lang Bai had already been lying in the teahouse for a whole day.He was paralyzed on the rocking chair, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind.Luo Yun came over behind the chair and tapped his forehead with her fingers.Lang Bai raised his eyes and looked up, sleepy-eyed: "Ah, what's the matter?"
"The clothes are dripping."
Lang Bai touched the corner of his mouth subconsciously, and there was another puddle of warm liquid.
"...I'm going to change clothes."
Luo Yun watched the child run upstairs, and a few minutes later watched the child run out while putting on his coat.
"Why are you going? It's past nine o'clock."
"Take the money, shit—"
Lang Bai couldn't stabilize his suit, staggered and almost fell to the ground.Then he pushed open the door like the wind and went out.
Luo Yun can only feel that the children now are too energetic, unlike his time, when wars were raging and puppets were everywhere.
"It's been too many years, and my memory is getting worse and worse." He sighed and took a sip of tea.
"Okay, don't pick me up."
"Sister, it's not far away, let me pick you up."
The woman rolled her eyes, and discussed with her brother angrily: "Are you so eager to pick me up, are you drinking with your friends again. Little things don't have anything interesting in their stomachs."
There was no response, only a commotion.
"Hello, Yinheng, hello?"
The woman called him a few more times before the voice came from over there.
"I didn't drink, I'll pick you up."
Yinheng was holding an unopened bottle of beer while talking on the phone with her.At the same time, he used his eyes to intimidate those bastards, none of the beaten bastards lying on the ground dared to speak or move.
"Okay, then, see you at the mall." After hearing a reply from there, she hung up the phone.Go to the mall alone.
She walked for a while and found that there was no one around.
"Strange, why is there no one there?" She wondered, and walked to the mall not far away.But no matter how she walked, the distance did not seem to be short.
"What's the situation?" She started to panic and walked aimlessly. She kept walking through alleys and streets, and finally returned to the original place.
"What the hell, I still don't believe I can't get out." She wandered around cursing, which really knocked her out of the way, but it was obviously not from Yangjian.
what--
She cried out, and just now she met a woman who was not like a human at all, but more like a ghost.
The woman had corpse spots all over her body, her body was very shriveled, and the skeleton inside could be seen directly. Her complexion was green, and her sunken eye sockets were fixedly staring at the living person in front of her.
"leave."
With a hoarse voice, the female ghost advised the living person.
The woman was so frightened that she didn't dare to move. From the corner of her eye, a group of ghost figures hovered around her, all staring at her, as if they were going to swallow her alive in the next second.
Just when her eyes made contact with the ghost next to her, the ghost rushed towards her with grinning teeth.She yelled and ran away.
"Help, help!"
It doesn't matter if she doesn't yell, as soon as she yells, nearly four or five ghosts with hideous faces appear to arrest her.She was still wearing high heels, kicked off her shoes in a hurry, and ran wildly with bare feet while saving lives.
When she felt that the ghosts behind were about to grab her—
"Evil spirits retreat!"
A sonorous and forceful sound cut through the air, and then the ghosts screamed. She looked back curiously, and saw the ghosts turned into soot from behind her and disappeared.
Only then did she stop and gasp for breath, her throat was very dry, she wanted to speak very much, but the difficulty in breathing made her uncomfortable.Lang Bai gestured to the woman with a hand gesture, and the woman raised her eyes to see a middle finger dangling in front of her eyes.
She waved her hand vigorously, motioning for him to remove her middle finger, and laughed at herself: "Go, go, are you satisfied?"
"This time it's a shame," she muttered, panting again.
Lang Bai pointed to the shoes that flew off not far away, and said unhurriedly: "You can put on the shoes first, and then sit over there." He then pointed to the nearby bench.
The woman clicked her tongue, gave him a blank look, and limped towards the shoes.After finally putting on his shoes, he walked to the bench and sat there, his body already drenched in cold sweat.She sat on the bench and looked at the sky, unconsciously sighing that she was still alive.
"Want to eat?" Lang Bai sat down beside her and gave her a lollipop.The woman glanced at it, but didn't answer.
"I'm almost exhausted, and want to make my throat feel more uncomfortable?"
"I buy for you."
After a while, he bought a bottle of water from the vending machine and gave it to her. The woman didn't expect him to be so diligent, "Thank you".
After swallowing a few sips, the woman took the initiative to find a topic: "What's your name?"
"Lang Bai, what about you?"
"Yinxiang."
She readily reported her name, drank half a bottle of water, and took out her mobile phone: "I'll scan you."
"No, you're welcome, just scan this."
Lang Bai was still being courteous to her one second, and then directly performed a face-changing show and shot the QR code on her mobile phone camera in the next second.
"..."
"My brother is as virtuous as my brother, you two can get together."
Yinxiang transferred the money to him in distaste, but unexpectedly, he was teased: "It's not impossible. Do you pay for it?"
Lang Bai fiddled with the phone, suddenly raised his head and asked for a soul blow.
Yinxiang didn't intend to talk to him any more, and dialed a number.
beep --
"Hello, ma'am?"
"Come to the east side of the mall, I'm sitting on a chair, um."
"I waited for you here for half an hour and you told me this, I called you several times and you didn't answer."
Yinxiang bickered with the person on the phone for a while, then Yinxiang glanced at Lang Bai, and then said to the person on the phone:
"Also, there is a person next to me, who looks about your age, and the two of us are quite conspicuous, so you should be able to find it."
Yinxiang looked around and told him some features of the landform.
"Next to you? Who is it?"
"Beside me, he—"
Lang Bai took Yinxiang's mobile phone over, made a shush gesture, and shouted to the phone: "Your date."
