Chapter 180 I’m embarrassed at this moment
Peng Zhi has been in a very bad mood for the past two days, with a bad face all the time.
Of course, his students have long been accustomed to his appearance.
But something seems different this time.
Peng Zhi felt that he must have been caught in something dirty and was very unlucky.
The matter of concurrently serving as the team leader of the third year of high school was basically out of the question. I called the principal personally to inform him and said that he would consider it.
Once this kind of thing is said to be considered, it is almost equivalent to hopelessness.
Forget about things not going well at work, I want to improve my mood through my love life, but the blind date I paid someone to introduce me to was blocked before even a few words of conversation.
That shouldn’t be the case. They obviously followed the master’s request and burned the other party’s belongings in front of the tomb.
“Teacher Peng, watch the road carefully.”
Peng Zhi lowered his head and found Li Lu standing expressionlessly at the bottom of the stairs, as if waiting for him to leave first.
Ever since she had an unpleasant incident with her in the Rocket Class classroom last time, she has always had this attitude towards herself.
And one of my feet was almost in the air, and I almost stepped on the air and fell.
Look!
There must be something trying to harm me.
He didn't answer Li Lu's words and moved slowly away.
Walking on the road, Peng Zhi suddenly felt that all the students looked at him strangely, completely different from the usual awe and respect.
But he couldn't tell what kind of look it was, he just felt that he was scared to death.
After speeding up and returning to the private office, he almost immediately called the master.
"Master, I have done as you said! But these two days"
"Not clean."
These three words hit Peng Zhi's heart like a heavy hammer. At the same time, he also realized that the voice on the other end of the phone was different from usual.
In the past, the voice of this master would immediately make people imagine a kind-hearted face, which sounded very safe.
Today I just feel cold and stiff when I listen to it.
Can't care so much, he asked again hastily,
"Not clean? What is unclean?"
"You haven't dealt with it properly and it's backfired. Just wish yourself good luck. Remember, you have to go home before nine o'clock in the evening, otherwise."
< br>After the master said this final warning, he hung up the phone with a bang.
"Master? Master!"
Cold sweat broke out on Peng Zhi's forehead. He held the phone tightly and collapsed on the chair.
If there were any unusual things in the past, the master would help him solve them.
Even the master can't help this time, what should he do?
“Dong, dong, dong.”
At this time, there was a knock on the office door. Peng Zhi was so frightened that he sat up straight.
The person outside the door seemed impatient, and the knocking on the door became more urgent.
He had no choice but to say in a trembling voice:
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and a long-haired girl stood against the light. Peng Zhi made some mental preparations. Dare to look at her face.
"Hey, Old Man Peng, you don't look well. Do you want to call an ambulance?"
The girl's tone was full of sarcasm, even with a smile.
Fortunately, he was in charge of the class and was also the most famous problem student in the grade.
I was taking a class to make origami airplanes, which was nicknamed "Flying Your Dreams." After picking it up, I opened it and found that it was written with love letters from a senior in my third year of high school.
Secretly taken photos of teachers were made into emoticons and spread widely on forums. Peng Zhi accidentally discovered that even students from other schools were using it, which shows how wide the spread is.
Not to mention being late and leaving early has long been a common occurrence, and the crimes are countless.
It's a pity that her family is really rich, otherwise I would have taken care of her a long time ago.
Peng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, pulled a piece of paper to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and returned to his usual serious tone:
"Liang Nina, what can I do for you?"
Liang Nina sneered and said Without replying, he crossed his arms and looked at the structure of his office.
All the objects in his office are carefully arranged. They have been instructed by a master. There are countless transport talismans hanging there.
Peng Zhi followed her eyes and looked around. , I still feel a little uncomfortable exposing my focus on metaphysics in front of students.
"I just met Director Huang downstairs. He asked me to tell you to go to the principal's office after evening classes."
As if she had finally admired his guilty look, Liang Nina slowly said He spoke.
"After evening classes.? Why?"
"Please, you ask me who should I ask?"
Director Huang is a relative of her family, older than Peng Zhixiao, who is less qualified than Peng Zhi and has a higher degree of education, somehow became the youngest director of the school.
Previously, Director Huang also asked Peng Zhi to help send a message to Liang Nina, asking her to go to dinner or something together after school.
Although Peng Zhi felt a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, he could only nodded to show that he understood, and it was the same this time.
Anyway, it’s only early seven o’clock for evening classes, so it only takes half an hour to drive home. The master asked himself to arrive home before nine o'clock, so he should still be able to make it in time.
Already reaching the door, Liang Nina suddenly turned back to look at him again, revealing a secretive smile.
“Teacher Peng, goodbye.”
Peng Zhi felt a shiver in his heart. Liang Nina had never called him Teacher Peng.
And she gently closed the door when she went out.
It’s so abnormal.
Peng Zhi jumped up from his chair. The office that usually gave him the most peace of mind and calmness now looked a bit depressing and terrifying.
He grabbed the black jacket that he would never leave, hurriedly left the office, and wandered aimlessly in the teaching building all afternoon.
Soon some students complained about this incident on the forum.
"Damn it, old man Peng is crazy today, right? I can't stop patrolling the building, it's so annoying."
"+1 upstairs, I've counted it, at least since I've been to the door of my class six times."
"Okay, this is what convulsions are like every day."
Su Chengyi looked at the floors that were constantly refreshing on his phone, feeling secretly amused.
He clicked on WeChat and replied to the message sent by Liang Nina.
"Senior, did I do well?"
"Very good, thank you."
The only acquaintance in the entire second grade of high school is her, the only person in this grade It is more reasonable for students to communicate between teachers.
Unexpectedly, she happened to have a relationship with the school director, which made her more credible.
After finally making it to evening class time, Peng Zhi hurried to the principal's office.
Maybe he will be re-appointed as the team leader of the third year of high school, so I have to come and take a look anyway.
With this hope, I didn’t expect to be rejected.
The door to the principal's office was closed, and it didn't look like there was anyone there at all.
Peng Zhi was wondering, and just when he was about to call and ask, Wang Tingting, a Chinese teacher in the third grade of high school, appeared out of nowhere.
"Teacher Peng, are you already here?"
"Yes, you are here for the meeting too?"
Peng Zhi and Wang Tingting are not familiar with each other. At most, they have met each other a few times.
Wang Tingting was very enthusiastic, chatting with him for a while, and even secretly shared her own gossip:
“I heard that the principal ran away from Teacher Li Lu. I am very dissatisfied with my performance, so the third-year team leader seems to be holding a meeting just for this matter.”
Peng Zhi was originally looking anxiously at the rotating hour hand on his watch, but after hearing this important news, he was still happy.
Li Lu is really not clear-headed. She has been busy for so long. She is about to graduate. She said she would step down temporarily. Isn't this passing the credit to others?
Peng Zhi picked up this leak.
"Then you are also here to choose the grade leader?"
He suddenly felt a little wary of the gentle woman wearing gold glasses in front of him.
Wang Tingting smiled and said
"How could it be possible? Where do I have this qualification? When the principal comes later, I will recommend you to him. As dedicated as you are to your job, you treat your students as you treat yourself It’s hard to find a teacher who looks like a child.”
This was the first time that Peng Zhi was praised like this, and he felt very happy.
After knowing that Wang Tingting had no professional competitive threat, he belatedly realized that the other party was quite beautiful.
Women really have to be like this. Living at home, Li Lu’s kind of designation cannot be married.
Maybe it can develop?
He quietly called up the WeChat QR code and was about to speak. Unexpectedly, the other party spoke first:
"I'm sorry, Teacher Peng, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. I need to go to the bathroom first." . ”
Peng Zhi looked at the bright lights and saw that she did not look good, so he had to nod.
So Wang Tingting left in a hurry.
Peng Zhi took the WeChat QR code and waited there for a long time, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Director Huang and the principal didn't come either. Peng Zhi looked at his watch and saw that it was already eight o'clock.
He couldn't wait any longer. He couldn't go against the master's words, so he had to leave first.
Wang Tingting really felt uncomfortable and felt nauseous.
As soon as she reached the corner of the stairs, she leaned on the shoulder of Li Lu, who had been waiting for a long time, and complained:
"So, I am the one who has sacrificed the most?"
Li Lu helped her calm down.
Although she was not directly involved, she still felt a little bit guilty about helping students deceive their peers.
When they arrived at the parking lot, Peng Zhi discovered something else.
All four tires of his car were deflated.
It was definitely the work of some daring student.
Even though he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, he could only deal with it tomorrow. Going home now was the most important thing.
While thinking about how to make the student admit his mistake in tears, he called a taxi on his mobile phone.
As a result, just as he reached the exit, a car slowly stopped on the side of the road.
A tall man got out of the car. He strode around, helped open the passenger door, and asked politely:
"Is this the customer with the last number 3822?"
Peng Zhi glanced at the prompt bar on his mobile phone that said "requesting a taxi" and felt strange, but the last number given by the driver was correct.
Maybe there was a bug in the system. Thinking this, he took another look at the already tense time, didn't worry about it anymore, and got in the car.
The light was not good and I didn’t take a closer look. When I got in the car, Peng Zhi realized that the car was actually a Mercedes-Benz E300L.
“Hey, are you driving this car for a taxi?”
He couldn't help but ask a question.
The driver seemed to stiffen.
Is there a possibility that this is the worst car in the Chu family's garage? Is this fair to say?
After a long time, he replied:
“I bought it with a loan. I went bankrupt and the sports car brought back some blood.”
"Oh."
Peng Zhi nodded. He had an occupational disease and couldn't help but give him a few words of education.
“Tsk, it’s not advisable to spend too much in advance. The key is to have a stable job. I also have a car myself, but my car broke down today, otherwise I wouldn’t have taken a taxi.”
This driver didn’t Not as talkative as other taxi drivers, just nodding slightly.
Peng Zhi himself talked for a long time, but felt a little bored, so he closed his eyes.
"Call me when you get there. I'll take a nap for a while."
The aromatherapy smell in the car smells very high-end. I'll ask what brand it is when I get there.
He has been restless these two nights and has not slept well.
The driver drove very smoothly, as if he was a professional driving for a big boss. He actually fell asleep for a while.
When he woke up, Peng Zhi yawned comfortably and asked:
"How long have I been sleeping? Why haven't I arrived yet?"
The driver didn't say anything and just drove alone.
So he looked out the window and saw that it was completely dark outside, and it didn't look like a city at all.
Peng Zhi became nervous and hurriedly opened the screen of his mobile phone.
20:59 minutes.
His drowsiness suddenly flew out of the sky, and he immediately asked loudly:
"Where the hell are you driving? Where are you?" The driver acted as if he hadn't heard and didn't say a word.
Peng Zhi rolled down the window and shouted for help, but here in the wilderness, there was not even a passing car.
Thinking again of what the master said about something happening before he gets home at nine o'clock, he stared at the time on the screen of his phone, his heart in his throat, and his hands holding the phone couldn't help but tremble.
Finally, the white numbers on the screen changed to "21:00".
The car was still driving smoothly, and there seemed to be nothing abnormal.
Peng Zhi gasped for air and suddenly felt like he was surviving a disaster.
He wanted to ask the driver again if there was any misunderstanding and he drove the wrong way?
Unexpectedly, he turned his head and faced a pair of eyes that suddenly appeared in the rearview mirror of the car.
I don’t know when an extra person appeared in the back seat of the car, a girl wearing an old school uniform.
The face is pale, the brows are full of hatred, and the eyes are weeping and complaining.
That is obviously Xu Zhihan who has been dead for ten years!
Peng Zhi was instantly frightened to the point of crying and howling, shouting:
"Help! Get out of the car! Open the door, I want to get off!"
The driver suddenly seemed to understand what he said and braked to an emergency stop.
Ignoring the pain on the back of his head, Peng Zhi opened the door and stumbled forward while peeing.
The car lights were shining brightly behind him, clearly illuminating those ugly past events that had been covered up.
The light made him feel ashamed and embarrassed.
He had no choice but to keep running forward until he had no strength left, and then he fell to the ground and gasped.
Where is this?
Why is there already soil under my feet?
Peng Zhi shivered and took out his cell phone from his pocket, turned on the flashlight and tried to illuminate the surroundings.
This time he was almost out of his mind.
He has been here before, and he just came here a few days ago. He even burned the student ID card here.
The old and desolate cemetery was quiet, with occasional birds passing by.
The densely forested trees have obviously not been repaired, and the shadows of the freely growing branches intersect in the moonlight, like the claws of some kind of skeleton.
Seeing tombstones standing all around, Peng Zhi’s hands were shaking so much that he could hardly hold his cell phone.
At this moment, the ringtone suddenly rang, and he almost threw the phone away.
In the empty and lonely cemetery, the sharp ringing is particularly harsh, maybe it will attract something.
The more anxious he became, the more he trembled. When Peng Zhi finally held the phone steady and saw the two words that appeared on the screen, he was almost so moved that he burst into tears immediately.
"Master! Master, please save me."
He has never made such a sincere plea for help in his life.
However, there was silence on the other side of the receiver, no sound at all.
Peng Zhi was so flustered that he immediately said:
"Hello? Hello! Master! Help! Help!"
His own cry for help echoed in the cemetery, and it seemed even more terrifying for a moment.
At this time, a gentle cough suddenly came from the receiver, followed by a strange voice:
"Want to leave here?"
That's not the master's. The voice sounded like that of a young boy.
His tone was very calm, as if he was not responding to someone asking for help, but giving an academic report.
But Peng Zhi can't control that much. No matter what the sound is on the other side of the receiver, as long as someone responds and it's not silence.
"Think! Help, help."
"Then listen to me, close your eyes and don't look back. Don't, don't look back."
——Because look back It is possible to see only a few spectators.
Su Chengyi held the phone and leaned under the tree not far away, watching his every move.
"Okay, okay."
Peng Zhi immediately stood up with his neck stiffened and closed his eyes tightly.
"Take two steps forward. Turn left, go straight, stop."
The young man's voice was always calm. Peng Zhi followed his instructions and felt a little calmer. .
The two of them cooperated like this, and Peng Zhi realized that he had walked about a hundred steps. The young man finally said:
"Open your eyes."
Peng Zhi was overjoyed, thinking that what he would face would be It is a bright real world, but what stands in front of us is:
The tomb of Xu Zhihan.
The black and white photo of the girl was embedded on the heavy tombstone, smiling at him.
Peng Zhi's whole body was frozen in place as if it had been poured with cement.
At this time, the voice in the receiver rang again.
“Kneel down.”
“You are responsible for her death.”
The young man seemed to follow his words.
Peng Zhi's legs went weak and he immediately fell to his knees.
With his "plop" movement, the crows perched on the tree were startled and flew up, making a terrifying neighing sound.
Peng Zhi’s lips trembled violently and he was speechless.
He kowtowed several times in succession, and after the dirt on the ground had covered his forehead, he said:
"I confess, I am not a human being."
"Because. I'm sorry, sorry, sorry."
At the end of the sentence, he started to cry loudly.
"After her death, not only did I have no regrets, but I became even more serious, thinking that I could find peace of mind as long as the master protected me. I was wrong! I was wrong! Please let me go"
Su Chengyi and his party were standing in the distance, looking at the painful and repentant Peng Zhi from a distance.
No one spoke for a while.
While turning off the "call recording" function, Su Chengyi hung up the phone.
“Let’s go.”
“Aren’t you going to tell him the truth?”
Lin Tong thought for a while and asked.
"What are you telling him for? Ha, this takes off your temper. It's a pity that He Wufei is not here."
Xu Yang seemed to be in a good mood.
“I don’t want to think about it yet.”
Su Chengyi shook his head.
Whether people like Old Man Peng can truly realize his mistakes is a question.
If you don’t tell him the truth, he might learn to behave with his tail between his legs in the future.
If you tell him the truth, after being happy, he will become angry and feel that he has been tricked by a few children.
Why bother? On the contrary, it only adds to the trouble.
After walking some distance, he took out the calling card from his mobile phone and threw it into the weeds on the side of the road.
"By the way, how did you become his master?"
Xu Yang asked curiously.
"Miss Chu's ability is so good."
Han Bing patted Chu Qingmian's shoulder, and Chu Qingmian hummed, looking slightly satisfied.
The master only had one client left, Old Man Peng, who at first pretended to have professional ethics.
Miss Chu threw two wads of bills in front of him, and he obeyed without even a second's hesitation.
After a few people came out, because there was no room for one car, Uncle Gao sent them away first.
Except for Chen Jinzhi, who came in the same car as Peng Zhi, the others all took other taxis.
When I went to a place like this at night, several people talked with the master for a long time before they were willing to give it away.
Su Chengyi stayed and accompanied Chen Jinzhi on the roadside, waiting for Uncle Gao to pick him up for the second time.
He took out a bottle of mineral water that he had just picked up in the car and handed it to Chen Jinzhi, who was quiet next to him.
“Would you like to wash your face first?”
"You need to use makeup remover."
Chen Jinzhi seemed to want to laugh a little and glanced at him.
It sounds familiar. Chu Qingmian seemed to have said the same thing last time.
“Shall we move forward?”
“Okay.”
Mainly because they were afraid that Old Man Peng would bump into them when he came out later, which would be a bit embarrassing.
Su Chengyi thought like this and glanced at Chen Jinzhi.
She seems to have not come out of playing Xu Zhihan, and is still a little silent.
Well, that was probably because she was afraid that Old Man Peng would faint from fear when he saw her.
The two of them walked on the quiet suburban road under the moonlight. Su Chengyi raised his head and glanced at the night sky.
It’s still the night of slaying demons.
The shadows of the two people on the concrete floor were stretched very long, and occasionally overlapped with each other as they walked.
Su Chengyi suddenly said:
"Chen Jinzhi."
"Huh?"
Chen Jinzhi agreed, but the person next to him didn't say anything for a long time.
It wasn't until she turned her head to look over that Su Chengyi said slowly:
"Don't get stuck in bad emotions."
It was just a brief act, Su Chengyi But I vaguely felt that this matter involved Chen Jinzhi's dark and heavy memories in the past.
Chen Jinzhi smiled and said nothing.
Su Chengyi looked at her for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and gently wiped the lipstick on her mouth with his fingertips.
In order to portray a somewhat weird temperament, the color of her lipstick was also chosen to make her look weak.
“Can’t wipe it off.”
He lowered his head and looked at his fingers again.
“Too light.”
She also spoke softly.
The two looked at each other quietly for a while. The smile on Chen Jinzhi's face gradually melted away like fine snow, and then she became serious.
Su Chengyi watched her moonlit eyes gradually widen, and it wasn't until her eyelashes almost touched his face that he realized what the situation was.
I vaguely heard her making a vague request:
"Su Chengyi, call me again."
"Jin Zhi."
The delicate kiss ended, Su Chengyi lowered his eyes and looked at Chen Jinzhi's lips that were moisturized again.
“Are you ready?”
She asked knowingly.
“Okay.”
Su Chengyi opened his eyes and looked elsewhere.
Chen Jinzhi took the opportunity to quietly take a step closer to the person next to him until the shadows leaned against each other.
The two of them did not go any further and stopped under a streetlight, their heartbeats gradually becoming calmer in the quietness of the suburban night.
The autumn wind is clear, the autumn moon is bright, the fallen leaves gather and disperse, and the jackdaws roost again.
When will we know when we meet each other? It’s embarrassing to be here this night!
