There was a huge crowd in front of the reception desk. They were all freshmen from the Class of 98 who came to report. It took me a long time to finally squeeze in front of the crowd, took out the admission notice, and handed it to the senior in charge of the reception. However, this guy didn't reach out.
Then, when I looked, he wasn't looking at me at all, his head was turned to the side, his mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were straight, as if he had discovered some treasure.
I subconsciously turned my head and looked, and my heart skipped a beat. Right next to me, stood a beautiful girl with delicate features. Her fair skin, long flowing hair, and curvy figure made her look like a fairy descending from the earth.
Otherworldly.
The girl suddenly turned her head and smiled at me: "Hello!"
I have never had much contact with girls, and I don’t know how to strike up a conversation with a girl. I never expected that such a beautiful girl would take the initiative to say hello to me. I was so nervous that I didn’t know what to do. I stammered for a long time before finally speaking.
Squeeze out two words: "Hello...hello."
The girl smiled again and turned around to go through the admission procedures. However, I had not recovered from my trance. I only felt my face was hot and my heart was pounding.
While he was in a daze, the senior urged: "Hey! Have you completed the admission procedures yet?"
Only then did I react, and when I turned my head, I saw that the senior was staring at me with a pair of resentful eyes, as if he had some deep grudge against me.
I hurriedly completed the formalities, and under the guidance of another senior, I went to the fee office to pay the tuition, and then dragged my luggage to find my dormitory.
When I found the dormitory, there was already a classmate there. He was holding a "Naruto" comic book in his hand and reading it. When he saw me walking in, he quickly got up and greeted me.
I introduced him to each other. His surname was Xiao, and his name was Xiao Chusheng. I didn’t hear it clearly at first and thought he was a “little beast.” I was shocked and wondered if his parents were thinking too hard when naming him.
I was caught in the door and chose such a weird name. Later, when I saw the name tag posted on his bedside, I realized that I had made a mistake, but from then on, "Beast" became his natural nickname.
Zhu Sheng comes from a good family. His father is engaged in construction and has a lot of money. When he went to college, his father not only bought him a computer but also a Motorola flip phone.
Two other classmates came to the dormitory one after another, one named Wang Haibo and the other named McKay. After we got to know each other, I called them San'er and Maizi respectively.
The four of us have become roommates since then. Since I am the oldest, I was elected as the dormitory manager. The three of them usually call me "boss". I am quite fond of this title because I used to be a fat guy.
That's what he called me too.
On the first day of class, I discovered that the beautiful girl I saw on the day of registration was also from our class. As soon as she walked into the classroom, she immediately attracted the attention of all the male students in the class, while the other female students turned to her.
A look of resentment. But she seemed to have gotten used to it and didn't care much. She found an empty seat and sat down generously.
The true identity of this beautiful woman was soon discovered by a meddling male classmate in the class. Her name was Dong Xiaodan. Her father was said to be a well-known professor at the Provincial Museum and was very knowledgeable about ancient cultural relics. Her mother was the financial director of a large construction company.
The family background is quite good.
Such a superior family condition has deterred many male classmates who are interested in her. Although I am a little attracted to her, I don't have any undue thoughts about her because my current thoughts are still mainly on studying Yin and Yang Feng Shui.
I used to follow Huang Yixian and never had the opportunity to practice. Now that I have finally become "independent" from home, I can find opportunities to practice my skills.
It didn't take long for the other three people in the dormitory to know that I had studied Yin and Yang Feng Shui, and also knew some methods of exorcising evil spirits and avoiding ghosts. Zhu Sheng and San'er admired me very much, but Maizi didn't think so. He was an atheist.
He didn't believe in this aspect. It wasn't until a strange thing happened that he completely changed his view.
Just next to our dormitory building, there is a small earth slope called Huangtu Ridge, which is actually separated from our dormitory building by a wall. A few years ago, someone discovered an ancient tomb built in the early Ming Dynasty under this Huangtu Ridge.
In order to prevent the ancient tomb from being damaged, the entire Huangtu Ridge has been blocked up with a nearly three-meter-high brick wall. There are people guarding it, and generally no one is allowed to enter.
However, there are many orange trees planted on this loess ridge. In autumn, the trees will be covered with golden oranges. We can just see them from the balcony of our dormitory, which makes us very greedy.
On this day, the beast suggested that we go to Huangtuling to pick some oranges to satisfy our craving.
His proposal was immediately echoed by several of us greedy cats, so that night, while everyone else went to the classroom for evening self-study, the four of us sneaked to the wall.
We had already stepped on it before, and some of the bricks on the wall fell off at one point, which was just suitable for climbing. After finding that spot, we climbed over the wall one by one.
Since there was no moonlight, it was almost pitch dark in the orange garden. Fortunately, the beast brought a flashlight, but the power seemed to be insufficient and the light was slightly dim. With the dim light of the flashlight, we began to pick oranges.
The four of us ate while picking. Not to mention, the oranges from Huangtuling were really sweet and full of water. They were much more delicious than those sold in the fruit shop next to the school. After a while, we were all
I was half full after eating, and the plastic bag I brought was also full.
The beast looked at his watch and said, "We should go back, otherwise it will be inconvenient to climb over the wall later when everyone else has returned to their dormitory after studying for the night."
I glanced at the plastic bag full of oranges and nodded: "Well, let's go, wait until we finish eating these."
We were about to return the same way when San'er suddenly said: "Boss, I want to pee."
I turned my head and glared at him: "You are the only one who has a lot to do. Just hold it in for a while and wait until you get back to the dormitory to pee!"
"That's right, the good news doesn't flow to outsiders!" the beast joked with a smile.
San'er covered her lower abdomen and said, "But I can't hold it in anymore. I ate too many oranges just now."
Maizi was also aroused to pee: "Boss, after hearing what San'er said, I also want to pee."
As the saying goes, people have three urgent needs, so I waved my hand helplessly: "Then hurry up!"
San'er immediately unzipped his pants and started peeing next to us, but Maizi was more particular about it. He was too embarrassed to do it in front of us and walked aside alone.
"Why did you come so far to pee?" I shouted from behind.
"I can't pee in front of you...ah!" Before Maizi could finish his sentence, he suddenly let out a scream, and at the same time there was a sound of earth and rocks falling.
"What's wrong? Maizi?" I asked quickly. However, I didn't hear Maizi's response.
"No, I'm afraid the wheat has fallen. Come over and have a look!"
The three of us hurried over and the beast took a flashlight to shine and found that there was a crack about half a meter wide and two or three meters long on the ground. It seemed that the ground had collapsed due to the rain a few days ago. Under the crack
, one side is a nearly vertical steep slope, and the other side seems to be a hollow. Needless to say, the wheat must have fallen into this crack.
The beast took a flashlight and shined a light into the crack, but because the flashlight was too dim and the crack was very deep, he couldn't see the wheat. We didn't know what his condition was now, so the three of us were extremely anxious.
"Wheat!...Wheat!..." I shouted several times into the crack.
After a while, Maizi responded: "I...I'm down there."
Fortunately, this kid didn't fall to death. I quickly asked: "How are you now? Can you still move?"
"My left hand seems to be broken. I can't move it. Boss, please think of a way to save...save me out!" Maizi replied while breathing heavily, with a hint of panic in his words.
"Boss, what should we do now?" Saner was so anxious that he was about to cry.
The beast suggested: "Boss, this hole seems to be quite deep. Why don't we call the police?"
I shook my head and said, "You can't call the police. You'll know if you call the police academy. We will all be punished, or even expelled! Let's find a way to get him."
"But it's so deep, how do we get him up?"
I pondered for a moment, and then suddenly thought that the rope I had used in the tug-of-war competition in class not long ago was still there, and it could come in handy, so I immediately turned to San'er and said, "San'er, there is a rope under my bed.
Go get the hemp rope quickly."
"Hey! Hey! I'm going right away!" San'er hurriedly ran towards the bedroom.
"Maizi, don't be afraid, we will rescue you later." I comforted Maizi, took the flashlight from the beast's hand, put my hand into the crack and shined a light inside.
After taking the photo for a while, I finally saw a group of curled-up figures. Needless to say, it must be Maizi! This guy's body seemed to be shaking slightly. I don't know whether it was because of fear or because it was too cold down there. From his position,
It looked like it was five or six meters above the ground. He only injured his hand after falling from such a height, which was considered a blessing among misfortunes.
San'er quickly ran back with a bundle of hemp rope. Unexpectedly, this kid usually took his time slowly, but today he was extremely fast. He climbed back and forth over the wall twice and had to go up and down the third floor. It took him less than five minutes in total.
minute.
I took the hemp rope from San'er's hand, tied one end of the hemp rope to the thick trunk at the base of an orange tree nearby, threw the other end into the crack, and said to Maizi: "Tie the rope around you."
, let’s pull you up.”
"Okay! Okay!" Maizi's tone seemed a little excited. However, after he got the end of the rope, he quickly became discouraged: "Boss, I can't move one hand, and there's no... I can't tie the rope."
