The witch looks at her moves

Chapter 40 The wind and thunder swallow people's delicate beauty

"You must have mistaken my phone number for Shao Xiaoxiao's. No wonder you had the same reaction before. Su Zhen, you are such a talented person and so bold. You never fall behind."

The rain outside the floor-to-ceiling window has stopped, and the lead-coated clouds reveal distinct layers of bright colors. The stainless steel linear drainage pipes are still dripping to the water line. Xia Ru looked at the city after the rain casually, and quickly deduced the truth.

Su Zhen sat opposite, looking a little embarrassed.

"Do you want Shao Xiaoxiao to know about this?" Xia Ru asked again.

Coincidentally, the people at the table next to me were discussing the anime day on campus, which was aired two years ago and continues to be popular. They were debating who was more suitable to be a girlfriend, Saionji or Kotonoha. Although Su Zhen's situation was completely different, she was still He was so frightened that he immediately said decisively:
  "In no mood!"

"Well."

Xia Ru looked away from the rain curtain. She leaned forward, intertwined her fingers on the table, and stared directly at Su Zhen: "Then I have to do the teacher a favor."

"What's the deal?"

Just as Su Zhen asked, Shao Xiaoxiao, who had been sent away to buy some bread, came back. She sat down aside and handed her the food Xia Ru entrusted her to buy. Then she asked Su Zhen in a low voice: "What are you and the teacher talking about?" Woolen cloth."

Su Zhen prevaricated and said it was nothing.

"Shao Xiaoxiao." Xia Ru suddenly called her.

"What's wrong, teacher?" Shao Xiaoxiao immediately sat upright.

"I heard that you are tutoring Su Zhen recently?" Xia Ru asked.

"Yes."

Shao Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed. She said, "Classmate Su Zhen helped me when I was in trouble, so I want to help him too."

Unexpectedly, instead of praising Shao Xiaoxiao for his willingness to help others, Xia Ru turned coldly and said:
  "Shao Xiaoxiao, we are not a good high school. Generally, only the top 10% of people have the chance to be admitted to college. I have checked your transcript and it is not enough to pass the undergraduate level. How can the teacher tutor classmates with your grades? rest assured?"

"I……"

Shao Xiaoxiao was hit by Xia Ru's harsh words. He was shocked and his cheeks turned slightly red. He didn't know how to explain it.

Su Zhen spoke uprightly: "I think Shao Xiaoxiao's teaching is very good, meticulous and comprehensive. Teacher Xia, you just gave me a test, so you should know that I have learned well. This is all the credit of classmate Shao Xiaoxiao."

Shao Xiaoxiao lowered his head and pursed his lips, neither agreeing nor objecting.

"Really? If you can teach so well, why do you have mediocre grades?"

Xia Ru was so domineering, as if he was torturing a child who had made a mistake. Su Zhen couldn't bear to see Shao Xiaoxiao being bullied like this, and spoke again:
  "Classmate Shao Xiaoxiao is kind-hearted in helping me study. Although her grades are not top-notch, she is more than enough to teach me. Teacher, it seems very arrogant of you to criticize a good classmate like this."

Xia Ru turned a deaf ear to Su Zhen's eloquent speech. She stared at Shao Xiaoxiao quietly, waiting for her answer.

Shao Xiaoxiao suddenly clenched his fists and said, "I will do well in the next exam!"

"You said that if you can do well in the exam, you can do well in the exam? Anyone can shout slogans and make determination, but learning is not a child's play and requires perseverance and perseverance." Xia Ru said.

"I just can." Shao Xiaoxiao bit his lower lip slightly, and also had the idea of ​​​​competing.

"Then why don't you make a bet?"

"what?"

"Bet on whether you can do well in this monthly exam. If you do well, the teacher will not only apologize to you, but also promise you something within his power."

"What if I lose?"

"Then when the teacher criticizes you from now on, you are not allowed to be harsh."

Shao Xiaoxiao felt that this bet came out of nowhere. When she was in the video game city, Xia Ru thought she was a good teacher and would not bet with others. Why is she betting on her grades now? She always felt that something was not right, as if there was some conspiracy.

Under Xia Ru's aggressive momentum, Shao Xiaoxiao didn't have the energy to think too much. She responded angrily:
  "Okay, it's a deal!"

----

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was getting dark and the lights of the shopping mall turned on. Xia Ru opened the door and got into the driver's seat, preparing to send Su Zhen and Shao Xiaoxiao home.

The wheels flowed through the potholes on the road and drove away from the parking lot, smoothly entering the flooded night. The street view was blurred in the car window, and the rain and noise were isolated.

Xia Ru is a responsible teacher and a responsible driver. She concentrates on the road while driving and doesn't say a word. The atmosphere in the car is so quiet that it makes people feel depressed.

Shao Xiaoxiao took out his mobile phone, pressed it for a while, and then pointed at Su Zhen's pocket. Su Zhen took out his mobile phone and saw the message from Shao Xiaoxiao: Teacher Xia is so cruel.

Su Zhen replied: Agree.

Weiyue knew: However, the teacher just helped me out. She said that probably because she wanted to encourage me to study hard.

Su Zhen discussed with her for a while and came to the conclusion: In short, you must perform well in this exam and don't lose!

Weiyue knows: Of course, you must also study hard and get good grades this time!
  Su Zhen looked up at Shao Xiaoxiao with an "Huh?" expression.

Shao Xiaoxiao continued typing on his mobile phone: You are my student. If you don't do well in the exam, doesn't it mean that my teaching is poor. In this way, even if I win, I will not be confident in winning.

Su Zhen: Okay, I’ll do my best too.

Shao Xiaoxiao: ()
  Su Zhen smiled knowingly.

The vehicle stopped at a traffic light intersection.

Su Zhen felt that the car was a little stuffy, so she lowered some windows. The wind suddenly blew up Shao Xiaoxiao's long black hair and made a rustling sound on his clothes.

He said sorry and wanted to close the window, but Shao Xiaoxiao stopped him, "I also want to blow some air."

The wind after the rain was so clear that it was indescribable, and it felt like wisps of coolness on my cheeks. I looked past the car window to the sky in the distance, and saw gray nimbus clouds moving slowly in the wind, blocking the sunlight and also It indicates that the rain is not over yet.

The greenery on the roadside makes a rustling sound in the autumn wind. They are evergreen camphor trees, but many of their leaves are red like maples, which is particularly bright.

Su Zhen leisurely admired the city after autumn, and his originally lazy spirit suddenly became as tense as a string.

A few golden lights flashed in the thick rain clouds.

At first he thought it was the clouds breaking through and the sun appearing, but it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. Where could such a blazing sun come from? Wait, what is that again?
  Shao Xiaoxiao saw a slight change in his expression and asked hurriedly: "Classmate Su Zhen, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"Ah, I'm fine."

Su Zhen quickly regained his composure, shook his head, but involuntarily glanced at the sky outside the window.

He saw it.

The pale golden scaly wings emerged from the clouds, shaped like fish fins, and disappeared back into the clouds as the body rolled.

A huge black shadow appeared in the churning gray clouds. It made people think of the legendary Canglong for the first time. However, although it had the same shadow, its body was obviously much bloated. What's more, the dragon in ancient legends How come there are wings? Still have scaly wings like butterflies and moths.

This was definitely an unknown life. It swam past the clouds like a giant boat, and suddenly let out a majestic low roar, like an ancient bell suspended in the sky being struck. The sound reached from the distant clouds to the human world, and instantly tore apart the interior of the carriage. The soft music is heart-stirring.

Shao Xiaoxiao also covered his ears.

Su Zhen was surprised by Shao Xiaoxiao's actions and asked her: "What did you hear?"

"Of course it's thunder."

Shao Xiaoxiao blinked blankly, wondering if it would be embarrassing to be frightened by thunder.

Thunder?
  Su Zhen couldn't tell for a moment whether the sound came from thunder and lightning or the roar of unknown life.

"Don't be afraid, these are all natural phenomena." Xia Ru suddenly said.

Shao Xiaoxiao thought that thunder and rain were of course a natural phenomenon, so why should we say more?

Su Zhen frowned slightly, always feeling that Teacher Xia was hinting at something.

When he looked up again, the black shadow had disappeared in the clouds, but there was a flash of lightning in the distance, tearing apart the gloomy sky. Thunder rolled in soon after, and the sound revealed the violence of a king.

In a daze, the disappearing golden light lit up again outside the car window, as if something passed over the roof of the car. The strong wind surged, and passers-by screamed one after another. Umbrellas were instantly blown over, and the electric car was also blown over. It was blown all over the place.

Xia Ru seemed to have predicted the arrival of the wind, and closed the car window in advance to block out the wind, leaving only a low sigh.

Before the car window closed, Su Zhen caught a glimpse of a piece of white from the water on the ground, which looked like bones or open scales. Before he could see clearly, the red camphor leaves were picked by the wind and blew onto his forehead. By the time he took off the leaf, the car window was completely closed.

The shadow in the stagnant water disappeared together with the strong wind, and could no longer be found. He was left holding the cold leaves.

"Turn right on the street ahead and go straight to the area of ​​white houses..."

After ten minutes' drive, Shao Xiaoxiao arrived at her home. After thanking the teacher, she suddenly asked Su Zhen in a low voice: "Do you have anything else to give me?"

"what?"

Su Zhen was a little puzzled, but facing Shao Xiaoxiao's eyes, he always felt that he should hand out something, so he handed out the red leaf that was blowing between his eyebrows. Shao Xiaoxiao was also stunned. She took the leaf, smiled, and waved goodbye to Su Zhen.

The car door closed and the car turned around. Shao Xiaoxiao stood there and watched the car go away.

"Puppy love is prohibited in schools."

After the vehicle drove away, Xia Ru reminded him coldly again.

"Shao Xiaoxiao and I have a pure classmate relationship. Teacher Xia, don't think too much about it." Su Zhen said. "It's up to you." Xia Ru said.

The car became quiet again.

Su Zhen suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, teacher, why did you change your clothes?"

Before going to the video game city, Xia Ru was clearly wearing a shirt skirt, but now it has turned into a workplace OL uniform, and she even changed into a pair of high heels.

"Oh, the previous set got wet, so I went to the mall and bought a new set." Xia Ru said.

"Get wet?"

Su Zhen wondered how she could get wet while working in the mall. Could it be that she actually went outside? It was raining so hard. What was she doing outside?
  "The faucet in the bathroom is broken and it splashed all over. It's unlucky." Xia Ru said lightly.

"Teacher Xia."

Su Zhen didn't quite believe this argument, "Teacher Xia, do you know anything?"

"What?" Xia Ru raised her eyes.

"Such as the 'natural phenomenon' just now." Su Zhen said seriously.

"Thunder and lightning is a phenomenon caused by the mutual attraction of positive and negative charges between clouds and between clouds and the earth, resulting in huge friction with the atmosphere." Xia Ru calmly answered.

Su Zhen's mouth opened slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Xia Ru didn't speak anymore. She looked straight ahead calmly, and the music continued to play on the speaker, melodious and lingering.

The vehicle arrived at the door of Su Zhen's house.

Su Zhen felt strange: "I didn't even tell you my home address, how did you know it?"

Xia Ru didn't give an answer to this question. She suddenly said something that was shocking: "When your sister died, I was right next to her."

Su Zhen seemed to be struck by lightning. He suddenly saw Xia Ru's eyes through the rearview mirror, eyes as quiet as ice. She was like a news host, reporting an old death news, the deceased had nothing to do with her, the wind was dancing outside the window, blowing the leaves, this is the emotion that should be raging.

"Wasn't my sister washed away by the flood?" Su Zhen said numbly.

If it was a flood, how could Xia Ru, who was with her sister, be safe?
  Xia Ru leaned back on the leather seat, closed her eyes, and asked, "Do you want to know the truth?"

"Truth? What truth?!" Su Zhen's body was trembling. He had never thought that there was a secret behind his sister's death.

"Do me a favor." Xia Ru said.

When they were in the coffee shop, Xia Ru asked him to help, but the subsequent conversation was interrupted by Shao Xiaoxiao's return.

"What do you want me to help you with?" Su Zhen asked.

"Help me find something, something about Su Qingjia, whether it's homework from childhood, diaries, paintings, anything about her." Xia Ru said.

"What do you want these things for?" Su Zhen asked.

"I just wanted to take a look."

Xia Ru's answer was unexpectedly simple, and Su Zhen couldn't buy it. He was still thinking about Xia Ru's words just now, and couldn't help but said: "If my sister wasn't washed away by the water, shouldn't we call the police after all these years? Yeah, where have you been?"

"What we encounter is not the responsibility of the police." Xia Ru shook her head and asked softly, "Can you understand?"

Su Zhen was silent for a long time and nodded gently: "Okay, I'll help you, but you have to keep your promise!"

"Of course." Xia Ru nodded.

Su Qingjia did have some relics. As Xia Ru said, these relics were mostly textbooks, homework papers, and some small handicrafts. After her sister died, her parents sorted them out, tied them up one by one, and put them in the cabinet.

Why does Xia Ru want to see this? Is it just because she misses her sister?
  Also, what is the truth she mentioned? Could it be that the cause of my sister's death was related to those strange and powerful things?

The rotten corpses in colorful clothes hanging upside down outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the golden-winged long insects flying above the rain clouds... The world has deviated from its original trajectory and is falling towards weirdness. While he is struggling to survive in Xijing Kingdom, he must also Be prepared to face anything here.

It was also at this time that Yu Yue's voice sounded in his heart:

"Su Zhen, Su Zhen, get ready to work."

Laojun over there lit up again.

"I encountered a lot of things today." Su Zhen got straight to the point.

"No need to say more, my godmother already knows." Yu Yue responded.

"What are those?" Su Zhen asked.

"Didn't Teacher Xia Ru tell you that it's just a natural phenomenon? Their true forms are in the Near Night Country, so they come out to scare people on rainy days~" Yu Yue said.

"Near Night Country? This place really exists?" Su Zhen was slightly shocked.

"Of course, and it opens once a year. When it opens this year, my godmother will take you to see the world." Yu Yue cheerfully initiated the invitation.

Su Zhen wanted to ask about the opening time, but he suddenly realized something and frowned: "Natural phenomenon...how do you know what Xia Ru and I talked about?"

Yu Yue should be in Xijingguo at that time.

"My godmother has great powers and knows everything."

Yu Yue gave another tame answer.

Time was running out, and Su Zhen couldn't pursue it, so he immediately asked:

"Did something happen over there?"

"It's been an uneventful night... Tsk, your determination to practice martial arts is quite high. Feng Hua can withstand such a light and heavy fist, which is really unexpected by my godmother."

"Is not it good?"

"Excellent, godmother, I'm very pleased. The harder you work, the closer the date for us to fulfill our agreement will be."

After Yu Yue finished speaking, she asked: "By the way, have you given away the gift I prepared for you? Is Shao Xiaoxiao happy after receiving it?"

"Gift? What gift?" Su Zhen was stunned.

"The key pendant I bought for the Ahri doll! It was packed in a small lucky bag, didn't you see?" Yu Yue was furious: "I even wrote a greeting card!"

"Ah... ah?"

Su Zhen didn't see this thing at all.

"What are you doing standing there, why don't you get out of the car?" Xia Ru's urging voice sounded.

"okay."

Su Zhen opened the car door and moved out of the car with his arm stick. He missed his footing and his shoes did not touch the road. He thought he was going to fall, but he didn't. He looked up in panic and saw the man who was concentrating with his eyes closed. Fenghua, neck-length short hair is like a knife.

There was a familiar musty smell in the house, and traces of the fight last night still remained on the ground. The boy guarded the door dutifully, with a mysterious smile on his face.

In the blink of an eye, he returned to the old craftsman's office.

----

Shao Xiaoxiao took off her Martin boots and put on light pink slippers. She walked upstairs in the dark. After checking the TV to confirm that no supernatural events had occurred, she took off her coat and threw herself on the soft bed.

She took out a small red Ahri pendant from her trouser pocket, played with it in her hand, and couldn't help but recall the wonderful experience of taking a taxi today.

"Master, what is this little red bag?"

"Budang? It must have been left behind by the previous passenger, right? Hey, that passenger is also pitiful. He is about the same age as a little girl like you. He has bad legs and a weak brain. What a sin."

"Are you about the same age as me? Have bad legs? Master, can you describe his appearance to me?"

"..."

As the driver's description continued, Shao Xiaoxiao felt more and more that the careless disabled high school student just now was probably Su Zhen. She picked up the lucky bag, squeezed it, and opened it hesitantly.

Inside there was a rolled note and a red and white Ahri doll. When the small note was unfolded, there was a blessing:

I wish Shao Xiaoxiao good health and a long life.

At this moment, she only felt that everything in this world was nothing short of coincidence.

Su Zhen was really over the top. He sent a message to lie to her and said it would take half an hour even though he was already here. How dishonest. He was still following her. If she hadn't taken out a small mirror to look at him in time, she might have been followed for a long time. Woolen cloth.

Looking back on this day, it was like a dream.

"He doesn't think the gift is lost, does he? How could there be such a stupid person in the world..."

Shao Xiaoxiao lay on the bed and kicked her calves, turned over nimbly, put her fingers through the key ring, and held it up to look at it. Ah Li was dangling gently under her fingers. Shao Xiaoxiao stared at it for a while, and couldn't help but reveal it. Smile.
