Chapter 221

After the key incident, the atmosphere between Li Heng and Mai Sui inexplicably eased a lot. One was eating, the other was chatting, very harmonious.

He asked: "I remember you don't seem to have class on Monday afternoon?"

Mai Sui said: "No."

Li Heng said: "Then stay here for a while, help me gather popularity in this room. The weather is getting cold, and it feels quite cold and clear alone. Leave later."

He didn't say this to prevaricate, nor was it specifically to keep Mai Sui, but his true words.

The old saying goes: a big house with few people is not necessarily auspicious, and it is easy to hide ghosts.

With two floors wide and spacious, living alone always feels like there is less fireworks flavor.

Mai Sui pondered for a long time and finally agreed.

In the afternoon, Li Heng continued to read in the study, seizing the time. Mai Sui followed and flipped through books in it for about 4 hours. Later, her eyes were a bit tired, so she put down the book and left Lushan Village, going to the vegetable market outside to buy vegetables.

She was alone when she went, and when she came back, Yu Laoshi was following her, talking and talking. The two women met at the vegetable market.

Arriving at the end of the alley, Mai Sui issued an invitation, "Yu Laoshi, why don't you eat with us tonight, it's lively with more people."

Yu Shuheng instinctively raised her head to look at the study window on the second floor, "Does he have time to cook?"

Yu Laoshi's meaning was quite obvious. If Li Heng cooked, she would mooch. If Mai Sui cooked, then forget it. One's cooking skills hadn't entered the door, and the other's cooking skills were at the primary level. Putting them together had no interest.

Before Mai Sui could answer, Li Heng poked his head out from the second floor: "I'll do it. Yu Laoshi, you empty your stomach first, and I'll treat you to a big meal later."

Yu Shuheng smiled and nodded, not being polite anymore.

Originally, two people ate, so the dishes could be casual, just make two or three dishes.

And with Yu Laoshi, Li Heng decided to show his skills and made four big dishes and one three-fresh soup.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but at the dining table, Yu Laoshi and Mai Sui always had topics, but when Li Heng joined the conversation, Yu Laoshi's words immediately decreased by two-thirds, which made him depressed.

Could it be that the other party hated him?

But this thought was pinched out as soon as it arose. With Yu Laoshi's family background and talent, if she really hated him, she wouldn't have much contact with him at all. Even if the high school English teacher entrusted it, it would be useless. People have the capital not to prevaricate with you.

So, it is highly probable that Yu Laoshi's temperament is like this, not loving nonsense.

The problem is, when she chats with other teachers and students in the teaching building, she has no airs at all, is very kind, smiles at everyone, and seems very easy to approach.

Or rather, the other party simply can't stand his emotional life? Think he is too scummy?

Pui! I'm not scummy, I'm sincere to the three of them.

With thousands of thoughts, just as he was listening to the two women chatting about the universe and galaxy and exchanging about the Andromeda Galaxy in the neighboring seat, a shout came abruptly from outside:

"Li Heng! Li Heng! Are you at home?"

The shout was a bit urgent, it was the fake Daoist's voice.

At this time, the sky had long been dark. Li Heng put down his chopsticks and rushed to the door in one step:

"Old Fu, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Hai, don't mention it. It was unlucky today, caught a dead fish. My paper money and incense are used up, do you have any?"

The smell of vegetables was pungent, but Old Fu didn't think about entering the house to mooch a meal and drink for the first time, but asked while raising his head in the alley outside.

It seemed that something was attached to him, and he didn't want to bring it to Li Heng's house.

Li Heng retreated a step unconsciously and replied: "I haven't used those things since moving here, I don't have any."

At this time, Yu Shuheng and Mai Sui also came out.

Mai Sui asked confusedly: "Teacher Fu, how can a dead fish bite the hook?"

Hearing this, the fake Daoist looked back at the alley entrance in fear and said to Li Heng:

"You guys accompany me to strengthen my courage, go buy some paper money, and I'll tell you in detail when I come back later."

Li Heng, Yu Shuheng, and Mai Sui looked at each other. In the end, he said: "Yu Laoshi, Comrade Mai Sui, stay together and don't separate. I'll go with Old Fu and come back soon."

Yu Shuheng nodded, "Go."

On the road, the two big men didn't say much. One held a flashlight to illuminate the road, and the other stepped on a bicycle, running wildly.

Not long after, they bought paper money and incense candles and came back.

Returning to Building 24, under the gaze of the three, the fake Daoist performed a ritual.

Don't say, Fu Yanjie wore a Daoist outfit, and the chanting of the scriptures was quite like that. The tone was ups and downs and quite good to listen to. It had the taste of an old high monk in a temple, and the movements were cumbersome and in place, more professional than the mage when people died in the countryside.

Half an hour later, Old Fu, who was sweating coldly, finally was willing to open his mouth: "Fishing today was very smooth at first, crucian carp were hooked one after another, and four or five jin were caught.

But just as the sky turned dark, it wasn't right. Not only did no fish bite the hook for an hour, but finally, a dead fish was caught.

The moment the fish was caught, it was gloomy, and the temperature felt like it had dropped a lot. I was so scared that my legs were soft, and a chill rushed straight to the back of my head. That feeling, how to say it, it was like, like there was something behind me."

When talking about this, Old Fu still felt a little lingering fear.

Yu Shuheng frowned and asked: "Old Fu, what is the saying about this?"

Old Fu nodded fiercely, "Yu Laoshi, you don't fish, you don't understand these. In our line of work, there is a saying: dead fish bites the mouth, pull the rod and leave."

Seeing that the two women were still half-understanding, Li Heng interjected: "This is a water monkey taking a dead fish to make a deal with Old Fu, wanting Old Fu's life."

Mai Sui asked confusedly: "Is the dead fish hung up by that thing?"

Li Heng said: "There is such a saying, but the truth is unknown."

Afraid of scaring her, Li Heng added a sentence: "It may also be that the fish hook just happened to hook it by coincidence."

Yu Shuheng pointed to the paper money that had just been burned out and asked: "Then, is it okay now?"

Old Fu ran to the alley outside to look at the alley entrance and came back to say: "It should be fine, I sent it away."

It would have been better not to say this. Once said, the three were startled.

This night, Mai Sui didn't return to the dormitory. First, she was a little afraid of walking at night now.

Second, she was worried about Li Heng being alone in the rental.

Because she had heard Chen Zijin mention that this man was most afraid of two things: ghosts and snakes.

At 11:30 at night, Li Heng and Mai Sui, who were reading in the study, heard knocking on the door downstairs. The two looked at each other, and neither dared to move for a while.

10 seconds later, Li Heng gathered his courage to go to the attic outside to look down, but was pulled by Mai Sui's hand.

Mai Sui was clearly still living in the shadow of Old Fu's "fishing dead fish, water monkey," shaking her head silently, signaling him not to show his head outside.

Li Heng comforted in a low voice, "It's okay, I'll just take a look and see who is knocking on the door?"

Mai Sui couldn't help but pull his hand tighter and shook her head again.

Seeing her expression of concern, Li Heng reached out and patted the back of her hand, sat beside her, and said: "Okay, listen to you, don't be so nervous."

Mai Sui breathed a sigh of relief.

Just after breathing a sigh of relief, the two were stunned. They looked at each other's hands holding each other, and then looked at each other. The gaze intertwined at close range, surprisingly quiet.

For a long time, Mai Sui, who came back to her senses, withdrew her hand with a slight panic, picked up the book again, pretended to lower her head to look at it, turned a page of the book after a while, and turned a page after a while.

It was really just pretending, because in Li Heng's line of sight, her book was upside down, and the girl's face in front of her was blushing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At first it was light red, then it was rosy red, and then it was dizzy red. It seemed as if pieces of peach blossoms were blooming on her face, which was very intoxicating under the dim light, coupled with that unique internal charm attribute, it was very soul-stirring.

For a time, you look at me, I look at the book, except for the heart beating, everything was silent.

Li Heng didn't have the heart to remind her that the book was upside down.

Perhaps, Mai Sui had also discovered that she was holding it upside down, but she didn't correct it, staring at the book without looking at him, just enduring the time like that.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Li Heng, Li Heng."

At this time, there was knocking on the door downstairs again.

Besides the knocking, there was also shouting.

Pricking up her ears to listen for a while, Mai Sui finally had movement, looked at his eyes and said:

"It seems to be Yu Laoshi."

At this time Li Heng had already stood up, "It's not like, it is."

As he spoke, he left the study and trotted all the way to the first floor.

Mai Sui put down the book and got up to follow.

It was just that she had only reached the study door when she paused, walked back, stared at the book she had just held for a long time, and finally sighed, and straightened the book.

Pulling open the door bolt, opening the door.

Looking at each other through the crack of the door, Li Heng asked with concern: "Teacher, did something happen?"

Yu Shuheng looked behind him, "You are alone at home, Mai Sui is not here?"

Before he could answer, footsteps had already come from the stairs, giving Yu Laoshi the answer.

Three steps into two, two steps into one, Mai Sui hurried to the front and shouted softly: "Teacher, you are looking for me."

Wandering between the two for a few times, Yu Shuheng stopped speaking several times, but finally opened her mouth and said: "I was already woken up by a dream twice, Mai Sui, I will sleep with you tonight."

Hearing this, Li Heng immediately let Yu Laoshi enter the door, then poked his head outside to explore, but what he saw was pitch black.

Even Building 24 diagonally opposite had turned off the lights.

A cold wind blew, Li Heng shivered instinctively, quickly closed the door, locked the door bolt, and locked the upper and lower door bolts that were usually not used.

Seeing this, Yu Shuheng said warmly like jade: "Li Heng, my courtyard gate hasn't been closed yet."

Li Heng: "..."

Had to open the door again, took the key, ran to the opposite side in one breath, locked the courtyard gate, and ran back.

Going up to the second floor, Li Heng poured a cup of tea for the English teacher and couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, what dream did you have?"

Recalling the scene just now, Yu Shuheng still had lingering fears, drank two sips of tea in small sips, eased her mind and said: "Ghost pressing the bed."

Mai Sui heard it and subconsciously reached out to grab Li Heng's arm, but only stretched out less than 5 cm, but shrank back.

Li Heng asked: "Is that feeling that the mouth cannot speak, the body cannot move, but the consciousness is very clear, as if something is pressing on the body? And breathing is difficult?"

Yu Shuheng didn't trace the trace and swept Mai Sui's right hand, nodded and said: "The first time was half an hour ago, it lasted for a few minutes, I can't say the specific time, I was scared awake, it took a long time to sleep, didn't expect that feeling to come on again as soon as I closed my eyes."

Li Heng asked: "Have you had this before?"

Yu Shuheng shook her head.

It was precisely because it hadn't happened before, and with the addition of Old Fu's terrifying statement tonight, she would instinctively think more and doubt more, leading to not daring to sleep alone.

Pondering for a moment, Li Heng stood up, found a piece of red cloth, wrapped a handful of rice and a handful of tea leaves inside, and finally handed it to Yu Shuheng:

"Teacher, put it under the pillow tonight, you can sleep well."

Yu Shuheng took the triangular red envelope and sized it up, asking: "Have you encountered it before?"

Li Heng didn't avoid it, said with a smile: "Yes, and more than once. Even ghost pressing the bed is a common occurrence for me. It happens every time I go back to my hometown to live.

Strange to say, it only happens in my hometown. Once I leave the village, I never encounter it again."

Mai Sui spoke, "Could it be that your hometown has something unclean?"

Li Heng wanted to say that the residential land in his hometown used to be the territory of an ancient tree. People in the village said there were gods in the ancient tree, and they usually liked to tie red ribbons on the tree to pray for peace.

But in the middle of the night, he couldn't create a panic atmosphere to scare the two women, so he said casually:

"Nothing of the sort. New house, no old people died, still on the side of the road, surrounding houses are dense, and I also asked a Feng Shui master to look at it, saying it is very clean."

My foster father said that this is mainly formed by psychological effects, and it is also possible that the sleeping habit at night is not good, and the hand is pressed on the heart position."

Seeing that Yu Laoshi didn't understand, Li Heng interpreted: "Foster father is a horoscope master. According to the customs in the village, I looked at the horoscope when I was just born. The fortune teller said that my birth time was too expensive, my parents' fate was average, and I couldn't afford it, and it was easy to die prematurely before the age of two.

So my parents sent me to the horoscope master's door, with the purpose of transferring the disaster, and temporarily changed my surname to follow the foster father's surname Zou, called Zou Heng. It wasn't until after the age of two that I changed it back to my original surname."

Listening to him telling the story, listening to him talk about many interesting things in childhood, listening to him explain ghost pressing the bed with science, the two women gradually relaxed and no longer had the nervous tension just now.

After midnight, Yu Shuheng and Mai Sui slept, sleeping together in the secondary bedroom.

Fortunately, the bed was big enough, and the two women covered a layer of quilt each, so it didn't seem crowded.

Sending these two aunts away, Li Heng was in trouble. He couldn't sleep on the bed left or right. He really often encountered ghost pressing the bed in his hometown, and he was afraid of being robbed tonight.

That suffocating feeling, damn it, whoever tries it knows! Having the first time, I definitely don't want the second time. It's unforgettable and unforgettable for a lifetime.

In the middle of the night, I don't know how Li Heng fell asleep?

Anyway, the thing he was afraid of didn't happen, and he slept very sweetly all night.

In the next few days, Yu Shuheng had been sleeping with Mai Sui. For this reason, Mai Sui didn't even live in the dormitory and stayed specifically to accompany her.

During this period, Yu Laoshi tried to go back to sleep alone for a night, but was scared awake in the middle of the night, and finally had to call open the door of the small building 25.

For this reason, Li Heng made a suggestion to Yu Shuheng: "Teacher, go to the temple on the weekend to believe in the name, and ask the old monk for a peace talisman or something."

In his view, whether the peace talisman can protect peace is another matter? But it definitely has a suggestive effect on the heart.

Yu Shuheng had this intention long ago, "Mai Sui and I have already discussed it, we will go on the weekend."

Reading, attending classes, writing, time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, 5 days passed, and it was Friday.

On Friday afternoon, an uninvited guest came to the management school teaching building.

She wore a blue-green plaid windbreaker with a light red silk scarf, and a pair of red board shoes on her feet.

She had an exquisitely delicate melon-seed face, clear features, hair gently tucked up, plain face white and bright like beautiful porcelain, thin eyebrows and apricot eyes, delicate and elegant.

Simple but dressed to be stunning.

Because it was too beautiful, countless boys and girls passing by quietly paid attention to her, secretly thinking: Who is this? Why haven't I seen this person in school? Really beautiful and outrageous!

The person who came was Xiao Han.

She didn't follow the agreement of the weekend after next, nor did she choose this weekend. Or rather, these were all smoke bombs she released to Li Heng.

Instead, she took advantage of the afternoon without class on Friday and rushed to Fudan University.

Standing in the lobby of the teaching building, Xiao Han looked around for a while, and finally locked her gaze on a brown girl.

Coincidentally, the brown girl was Liu Yue.

Perhaps because of the same kind, Liu Yue noticed this girl who made the flowers lose their color as soon as she entered the lobby.

Their eyes met, and Xiao Han showed small dimples and asked: "Hello, classmate, is the Statistics major in this teaching building?"

Hearing this, Liu Yue immediately judged that the other party was not a student of the management school, and not even from Fudan.

After all, at Fudan University, it is impossible to be beautiful to this extent and still hide it. She would have been turned out by those troublemaker boys long ago.

Liu Yue asked: "Are you looking for someone?"

Xiao Han smiled sweetly and said: "Yes, looking for Li Heng, he is in the Statistics major."

In her cognition over the past 7 years, her beloved honey had always been a little flirtatious, bringing light wherever he went, and would definitely be attracted by many girls.

Middle school was like this, high school was also like this.

Now that he was in college, his charm definitely wouldn't decrease from that year. The brown girl in front of her must know him.
