Chapter 11 Strange Woman

It's Friday afternoon.

After school, I quickly went back to the dormitory to pack my things, and then took one of the urban and rural minibuses home.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, I wore headphones and listened to songs on the repeater.

The repeater was bought by my master for me to learn English, but I rarely use it.

In school, my grades were always at the top of the grade.

I have never let Master worry about my grades.

The minibus drove toward the countryside along the urban-rural highway, with golden fields on both sides of the road.

When rapeseed flowers are in full bloom, bees and butterflies are flying around, and the air is filled with pollen.

I listened to the song and fell asleep.

At this time, the conductor shouted: "We have arrived at Wangzui Village, please hurry up if you get off!"

I opened my eyes and glanced at the window. The sun was setting and the sunset was infinitely beautiful.

After passing Wangzui Village, the village where I live is in front of me.

At this time, from the corner of my eye, I saw someone looking at me.

I was slightly startled and quickly looked back.

She is a young woman, probably in her twenties.

She has long hair, delicate facial features, and very fashionable clothes. She makes me feel like a female star on TV.

At the same time, a faint fragrance hits your nose.

I noticed that she was wearing a red suit and a pair of red pointed-toe high heels.

Her skin is very white, and the veins and blood vessels on her neck are clearly visible.

Seeing her looking at me with a smile on her face, I felt confused.

What is this woman looking at me for?

Is there a flower on my face?

When I was confused, she smiled and said, "Brother, how old are you?"

I was a little confused, but I still answered: "Fifteen."

"You're already this tall at the age of fifteen?"

high?

How does she know I'm tall?

When I got on the bus, there were not many passengers in the car.

And when I sat down, there was no one around me.

How did she see that I was tall while I was sitting here?

She continued to ask: "1.8 meters?"

I said calmly: "No, I'm only 1.78 meters tall."

"Looks like 1.8 meters." She covered her mouth and laughed.

I turned my eyes away and was about to continue looking at the window.

She chatted up again: "Sister, I want to ask you something."

I hummed: "You say."

I was very wary of this strange woman.

She smiled and said: "Do you often see things that ordinary people can't see? For example... ghosts."

For a moment, I was stunned.

She looked satisfied: "You hesitated, so I guessed it right."

I stopped looking at her and took off the headset of the repeater.

My music volume is not very loud, and the quality of headphones these days is very poor, and the sound isolation effect is very poor.

I asked in a low voice: "Who are you?"

"Someone who is interested in you." She smiled sweetly.

After saying that, she stood up and walked to the empty seats in the first few rows to sit down.

For such a beautiful woman, naturally many men in the car were staring at her.

Although I was full of confusion, I didn't ask any questions.

Because just around the corner is the village where I live, and I don't want to get into trouble.

The car stopped slowly, and I got out of the car with my schoolbag and a plastic bag on my back.

The plastic bag contains my lunch box and some clothes that need to be changed.

"Brother, are you here too?" a voice came from behind.

I looked back and saw that it was the woman in red in the car.

For a moment, my inner vigilance was once again at an all-time high.

I subconsciously quickened my pace. This time I didn't answer her question, but walked quickly towards Master's house.

The woman behind him smiled and said: "Why are you running? I look scared of you. Could it be that my sister ate you?"

I didn't look back and walked forward quickly.

Passing by the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, I glanced at it.

There were a few faint black shadows hanging faintly on the trees.

According to Master, these dark figures were all people who had hanged themselves from the old locust tree.

Their resentment was very heavy, and over time, the resentment took shape and hung here.

A man was squatting under the locust tree, drinking.

It’s former village chief Zhao Dahai.

Since the death of Zhao Youlong, Zhao Dahai has been going crazy.

Maybe it was because both his children and his younger brother were dead. He couldn't bear the blow and went crazy. He would drink liquor slowly on the locust tree every day.

A few years ago, his wife also ran away.

The current village chief is an old man, his surname is Lu, and his full name is Lu Zhongping.

Lu Zhongping is a rather cunning person, but he has a pretty good relationship with my master.

At this time, Zhao Dahai suddenly pointed at me and cursed: "It's because of your stupidity, otherwise my brother would not have died!"

I was startled, thinking that this guy was drunk and talking nonsense.

I was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked towards Master's house with my head down.

Every Friday, Master will prepare meals and wait for me at home.

When I arrived in front of the big iron gate of the courtyard, I could already smell the aroma of the food.

Before I could react, a fat dog jumped in front of me and started wagging its tail crazily.

This dog's name is Xiao Hui, and his other name is Big Fat.

The reason why it is called Big Fat is because it is too fat.

Xiao Hui was a perfect pastoral dog that I picked up on the roadside two years ago.

But the strange thing is that its ears are droopy, not erect, and its tail is fluffy, much like a fox's tail.

I usually go to school and am away from home, so Xiao Hui is always taken care of by his master.

Xiao Hui was lying on the ground with his legs in the air, his belly exposed, and he was used to acting coquettishly with me.

I touched its head and said with a smile: "Get up and let's go!"

In the yard, Master was lying on a deck chair and listening to the radio.

Master has always been the same these years, and his spirit seems to be getting better every year.

He winked at me and said, "Go and wash your hands quickly, then eat, and have a few drinks together in the evening."

Since I graduated from elementary school, I have often drank Master’s beer at home, and sometimes some white beer.

Apart from anything else, my drinking ability has been pretty good over the years thanks to my master's training.

When we arrived at the main room, there were four dishes and one soup on the table, and even a bottle of red wine.

I had never drunk red wine, so I shouted: "Master, where did this foreign wine come from?"

The master walked in from the yard and said with a smile: "I went to the city a few days ago to show people Feng Shui. The sponsor gave it to me. It is said that a bottle of this wine costs more than 3,000 yuan."

I opened my mouth wide and said in surprise: "So expensive?"

The master nodded: "Let me open it. The sponsor said that you don't need to sober up this red wine, you can drink it directly."

"What do you mean you don't have to wake up?" I washed my hands and sat down, very confused.

In some aspects, my knowledge is not very broad.

The master opened the red wine and said with a smile: "Sobering up means pouring the wine into a container... Forget it, you won't understand even if I explain it to you."

After Master opened the red wine, I quickly started pouring wine for Master.

The master smiled happily and said: "I went to the city a few days ago to help you look at the houses and plan to buy you a house in the school district."

"Jiangnan City?" I asked blankly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside the courtyard: "Is Master Zhao at home?"
