June is our farewell song

Chapter 260 The Invisible Thing

"Today's lesson is for students who want to write narrative essays in the exam. First of all, when writing, we must pay special attention to the use of 'imagery', which is consistent with what we talked about in poetry appreciation. For example, 'Flying Birds', 'Weeping Willows', 'Falling Flowers', 'Sunset' and... everyone can make some notes."

"However, I have said it many times. In the evaluation system of the exam, narrative is a thankless style of writing, so for everyone's consideration, I still recommend writing argumentative essays. I have been writing essays almost every week since my second year of high school. Speaking of this truth that is recognized by almost all teachers, I hope everyone can listen to it."

On the podium, Chen Ge was speaking about composition.

To be honest, the nearly two hours every Thursday afternoon is almost the only thing Gu Yuan looks forward to in school now.

Of course, this description is not because of how much he likes to write exam compositions, but just to sigh, how boring the other courses with the same content and repeated repetitions are.

"Although I know that some students don't listen to it, I still want to say it. The college entrance examination is an exam with a fixed scoring system. In the end, everyone's score is determined. Sticking to something that will not bring you benefits, in fact There is no need. The teacher is thinking about you. After all, the final grade is your own, and it will not bring me any benefit, nor will it bring me any harm. I only hope that when the day of graduation, you look back Don't regret your past efforts, and don't feel like you wasted three years."

"Okay, let's start to talk about the writing of narratives. As usual, let's review the six elements of narratives: time, place, characters, and the cause, process, and result of events. But these alone are not enough. The six elements It’s like six pearls, you need a thread to connect them all in order to display their true value, to give a simple example, Yu Qiuyu’s "Fishing"..."

On the contrary, Chen Ge's class is also a bit more interesting than other teachers'.At least it will not only focus on the content on the test paper, but will expand and talk about some fresh things.

"In the process of narrative, description is very important. The so-called description is to use vivid language to describe the characters and events in a concrete image, so as to give people a vivid and vivid impression and avoid the plain and boring of simple narrative. But description is not omnipotent, blindly piled up rhetoric, or fails to grasp the proportion distribution between narrative and description, it will make the article seem incomprehensible..."

Gu Yuan remembered the comment left by Chen Ge after his last composition.

"The writing is okay, but there are too many descriptions, and there are very few real narrative parts. I can't see the feelings you describe, and I can't understand what you want to express. Same job."

It looks like "homework" and there seems to be nothing wrong with it.Isn't the task left after class the homework...and the so-called student's work, isn't it just to complete the homework?
But to be honest, he couldn't read every essay he wrote recently.

The sky is gray, and cloud after cloud looks like dirty cotton wadding taken out of old clothes, piled up from the south to the north, and spread from the west to the east, a sign of snow.

Like this description, I don't know what specific meaning it has, but I am a bit reluctant to throw it away.

I always feel that the scene that can occupy a place in memory should have its meaning, but it has not been discovered yet.

"A very commonly used image is the 'sunset'. Whether it is literature or film, many works that we know are related to the sunset, such as the famous movie "Love at Sunset and Twilight"... The meaning and symbol of the sunset is the end, A new beginning is coming. The setting sun also heralds a new development. After emitting all the light, it dims and waits for the next appearance. In the composition, we can also use it in the following scenes..."

"To make a digression here, there is a superstition that people can see invisible things at dusk. In ancient literature, please pay attention.”

Evening...willow juice...

Listening to Chen Ge's words, Gu Yuan suddenly remembered what happened last night.

After meeting Yang Hao in that underground bar, Gu Yuan's first reaction was to turn his head and leave. With the experience of the previous incidents, he didn't want to stay with this person for a moment, as if spending a few minutes with him would add a few more minutes. The probability of an accident is the same.But when he walked out of the gate of the bar, someone chased him from behind.

"I heard that you are investigating a student who committed suicide ten years ago. Well, her name is Ye Qiuling. She has the same name and surname as a girl in the second grade of our school, right?"

I don't know where he got the news, but he did hear the words about Ye Qiuling clearly from Yang Hao.

This lingering cloud has been hanging in his heart, so he couldn't help turning his head back.

"How did you know?"

"Don't worry about how I know. In short, maybe I can help you, but this method may not be reliable."

Apply willow juice to the eyes, and at dusk, when the sun approaches the horizon, return to the place where the dead person's obsession is strongest.

It sounds like a routine commonly used by the magic sticks in the countryside.

"That's why I said, it may not be reliable, but I know someone has done it, and he did see it."

But the words that came out of that boy's mouth changed Gu Yuan's opinion.

"It's in the old campus of Nanhua. The place where the wishing tree used to be is now a statue of Confucius. It was about six years ago. At that time, there were always legends about the lakeside in the school. An old senior in the junior high school used to smear willow leaf juice on his eyes and walked around the school. He didn't expect to see a girl wearing a high school uniform standing next to the statue of Confucius. He was so scared that he ran back screaming all the way. dormitory."

In the narrow alley, Yang Hao, who was wearing a waiter's uniform and holding a tissue in his hand, looked at Gu Yuan with a smile.

"I didn't believe it at first, but he, a person who didn't know Ye Qiuling at all, was able to describe her appearance so accurately. I couldn't help but feel that this matter was a little more interesting and believable. Spend."

As he spoke, he took out a photo from his coat pocket.

"Especially, it's a girl who has no obvious features and is easy to find when thrown into the crowd."

no obvious features...

Gu Yuan looked at the photo in his hand. In the photo was a girl in school uniform, standing under a wishing tree covered with red rope wooden signs, comparing scissors hands, tilting her head and laughing.She is wearing white sneakers and has a pair of ponytails. There is a small mole under the corner of her left eye, which is not very conspicuous. The facial features are not very delicate, but they look very comfortable when they are blended together.It's hard to say how common it is, but it's really hard to find out among the vast army of students.

Yang Hao gave this photo to himself without any specific request. According to him, he just wanted to eliminate the unnecessary hostility between the two.

What that guy was thinking in his heart, he couldn't figure it out at all.

"Eh? Who is this? It can't be your new girlfriend, can it?"

Qi Yu suddenly came over and whispered.

"...Get out, don't listen carefully to the class, what are you looking at, this is Ye Qiuling's photo."

Gu Yuan glanced at his deskmate, then turned to continue looking at the photo.

Dusk is easy to say, it happens every day, but where can we find willow leaves in this cold winter?
Is it possible to wait for the willows to germinate next March?That's too long.

"Eh??? Show me this photo..."

As Qi Yu said, he snatched the photo away, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

"Hey! You...keep your voice down...others, including Chen Ge...are all looking this way..."

"Qi Yu Gu Yuan, don't miss out on class, and listen carefully."

"Okay..." Gu Yuan nodded guiltyly, and straightened his sitting posture, but the peripheral vision from the corner of his eyes drifted away unconsciously.

Surprisingly, it was discovered that the girl's hand holding the photo was shaking slightly.

"How... how..." she murmured softly.

"what happened to you?"

Qi Yu's performance made Gu Yuan a little confused.

However, what the girl said next made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"I've seen her...at...your house."
