Evil Bone Devourer

Chapter 9-
The students had never seen such a sudden weather situation, and they turned their heads curiously to look at the hurricane storm outside the window.

There was a silver light in the sky, and then a loud thunderbolt struck down.

"what!!!"

The whole class let out piercing screams.

I subconsciously covered my ears, disgusted with their fuss!
As for it?
It's not that I haven't seen thunder!

The sound of pouring rain outside immediately overwhelmed the noise inside the house. Huge hailstones clanged on the glass, and the rain was so heavy that it was hard to see the situation outside.

The math teacher tapped on the blackboard with a serious face, "Look here, pay attention."

My heart was in a panic, and my thoughts had long drifted away. How can we go home at night in such a heavy rain?
The weather was fine during the day, and I was only wearing a short sleeve, and now my arms were curled up into a ball.

Su Mingxun was my tablemate, he took off his new jacket and put it on my desk, "Put it on!"

I put my chin on the desk, looked at him desperately and asked, "Mingxun, is your dad driving a car to pick you up today?"

Su Mingxun is the prince of our Guchabao Longtan Hutong. Their family is not local, because Uncle Su wants to build a factory here, so the family moved here.

Su Mingxun usually eats much better food than us. We have never seen the things his mother bought for him. It seems that the first car on the road in Guchabao belongs to his family.

A typical winner in life, the envy of alley kids.

"I don't know either! What's the matter?"

"I promised my grandma to go home before dark, how can I go in such a heavy rain!"

Su Mingxun laughed out loud, "Isn't it already dark now? I'll go out after school to have a look. If my dad comes, we'll go back together."

I was relieved after hearing what he said. Finally, when school was over, the head teacher walked in with a serious face, "Students, wait a minute, don't move yet."

We sat in our seats obediently, only to hear the teacher say: "There are many parents outside the school gate, and those who don't need to cross Xiqiao on the way home come out with me."

Su Mingxun and I looked at each other, Xiqiao is the only way we go home.

And it's the only way.

A student in the back row stood up and asked, "Why, teacher?"

"The Xiqiao was washed away by the flood, and it is very dangerous over there now, and the parents can't get through."

I suddenly have a bad feeling, the bridge is broken
Then aren't we separated in school and can't go home!

On weekdays, my fear of the teacher is like a mouse seeing a cat. If it can not speak, it will not speak. Even if her eyes glanced at me, I would feel inexplicably nervous.

I did some mental construction, got up the courage to stand up and asked in a low voice: "Teacher, is there any other way for us to go home?"

The teacher shook his head helplessly, "It's raining too much outside, and the river is rushing, it's too dangerous! I will call your parents and see if there is any other way."

After she finished speaking, she went out with the classmates who could go home. The teacher took a huge transparent plastic sheet, and the students beside him pulled the edge and walked towards the school gate together.

Su Mingxun saw my distraught appearance, and comforted me: "Don't be afraid, call Jiuwu and Dong Jinbao to our class later, it's not your fault if you can't go back, Grandma Yun won't blame you."

I'm not afraid, but I just feel inexplicably flustered.

Like doing something wrong, waiting to be judged in fear.

After a while, I saw a huge fire outside through the window. After a loud thunder, the only source of light in the house suddenly went out.

It's really a leak in the house and it rains all night.

The classroom was pitch black, and many timid girls screamed and cried.

"Su Mingxun"

I called him in a low voice, also bewildered by the sudden situation.

"Su Mingxun?" Seeing that he didn't respond, I called again tentatively.

But this time there was still no response.

The messy voices around me, crying, screaming, and the sound of walking back and forth filled my eardrums.

I stuck my feet on the edge of the stool, hugged my knees tightly with my hands, and wore Su Mingxun's little dark green coat
dare not move
After an unknown amount of time, the classroom door was knocked open, and a figure shouted at the door, "Yinghe? Where are you?"

My eyes lit up, and it was the voice of Nine Five.

I quickly got up and ran towards the door, but I was disturbed by something, and I flew forward in the air.

His forehead hit the table leg, and his hands rubbed far away on the ground, causing burning pain.

"Ouch!"

I snorted and fell for a long time without getting up.

At this time, someone helped me up. Her small hand was soft on my arm.

"You, are you alright?"

I can feel that she is also very scared at this moment, and even her voice is trembling.
From the faint peripheral vision of the door, I could see clearly that the person beside me was Mi Li.

Mi Li doesn't have a strong sense of presence in the class, and I don't know why everyone doesn't like to play with her. She listens carefully in class and even reads after class.

She is beautiful, but she just doesn't like to talk.

She has long black and beautiful hair that I envy, and even the little flowers tied in her hair are very cute.

"Thank you! I'm fine."

Jiuwu urged at the door: "Yinghe, what are you dawdling about? Come out!"

I nodded gratefully at her and was about to leave. Mi Li grabbed my arm, and water glistened in her big eyes.

"Yinghe, I'm scared, can you stay with me?"

I looked back at the people in the class. Everyone was sitting together in twos and threes. If I left Mi Li, I would still be alone.

"My brother called me, if you are afraid, come with me."

Mi Li suppressed her tears and nodded, trying to hold back an ugly smile.

She whispered, "Thank you."

I took her hand and went out together. Jiuwu was taken aback when she saw it, because I had no friends at all except the 'Gang of Four'.

It's quite surprising that there is one more friend holding hands at this moment.

"Why did you take so long? Hey? Why is your forehead bleeding?"

I stretched out my hand to touch it, and the tingling pain made me gasp, "I don't know why I'm so unlucky, I just fell and broke my hand."

Aggrieved, I spread my hands in front of him, Jiu Wu looked away in disgust and didn't want to look at it, probably because I was afraid of seeing the blood.

Su Mingxun and Dong Jinbao were also there, so they couldn't find him just now, so they went to find Jiuwu.

The few of us were standing on the facade of the corridor. Class [-] was not far from our class, and the teacher would come back at any time, so we couldn't wander around.

It took more than an hour for the teachers to come back, carrying huge cloth bags in their hands, calling their students back to class.

I went in with Su Mingxun Mi Li, and the teacher lit a candle on the podium, and the room was lit up again.

"Children, come in line to pick up the meal. You can't leave for the time being, maybe you can't go home tonight."
