Chapter 2

When Li Xiu first transferred to Qiming Middle School, he noticed a large wasteland covered with weeds at the back of the campus.
As the default top aristocratic school in the entire city of A, Qiming's location is also right in the center of city A, where every inch of land is expensive, but there is such a large piece of barren land, and people who don't know will really feel a pity when they look at it.

However, the locals of City A are not surprised by this scene.

After all, that piece of land ...... It's the Haunted House of the Xiao Family.
To put it bluntly, the land behind Qiming Middle School is really not a wasteland in the real sense - many years ago, this was the most beautiful Xiao family in City A, and spent a lot of money to build a large villa complex for the family.
However, not long after moving into the Xiao family's garden, the Xiao family encountered the bizarre murder case that shocked the whole country.

Since then, the land has been completely empty.
Probably because of the "bad name", in the era when real estate development is in full swing, there are still no people to take over the development of so many large plots of land in Xiaojia Garden.
To this day, the Xiao family villa still stands there, and on the magnificent building, you can still vaguely see the beauty and extravagance of the year.
However, after so many years of no one taking care of it, no matter how luxurious the Xiao family garden is, it has become a dilapidated and terrifying "Xiao family haunted house". As for the courtyard around the villa, it has long been covered with wild grass and trees.
The lush wild trees are layered one after another, even in the middle of summer, it is difficult for the sunlight to fall into the forest through the dense branches and leaves, and with all kinds of terrifying legends about this place, the Xiao family's garden always looks dark and damp, as if it will always precipitate an indescribable solemn dead air.
That is to say, the boys in Qiming Middle School who are strong in blood and are not afraid of heaven and earth will not be afraid of the various rumors and gloomy atmosphere of the Xiao family's haunted house.
The school is strictly controlled, and some unruly students in Qiming Middle School who are particularly disobedient will secretly go to the Xiao family's villa to find a place to smoke between classes...... However, this kind of thing has never had anything to do with Li Xiu.
Li Xiu has always instinctively hated this kind of gloomy place.

If he could, he would never set foot in the Xiao family's "haunted house" for the rest of his life.
But now, Li Xiuzheng was pressed and pressed directly on the floor of an abandoned room in the Xiao family's villa.

"Bang-"

There was a muffled sound.
Dust, as well as the smell of mold, poured into the tip of Li Xiu's nose, and he struggled to his feet, suffering another blow in the back.

"What?! Why is it that at this time, you still want to run? ”

Someone cursed in a rough voice above his head.
"Poof, Wang Rongfa, why are you so nervous? He's a cripple, even if you let him go and let him run, will he really be able to run anywhere? ”

Followed by，It was another boy's sneer.
The boy known as Wang Rongfa pressed a little harder on Li Xiu's back.
"Song Cheng, you don't know, this lame man is lame, people are very cunning, if it weren't for our brother Fang this time, I would have almost let him run away-"
While he was talking, Li Xiu suddenly broke free, raised his hand and gave Wang Rongfa an elbow, and while the boy was in pain, Li Xiu suddenly ran towards the door.
However, just like the boys around him said, Li Xiu's slightly lame right leg did make it difficult for him to maintain balance, if ordinary people could really find a chance to escape at this time, but he didn't run two steps before Wang Rongfa's fox friends chased him, punched him in the abdomen, and then was thrown back to the dirty floor.

"f**k, f**k, f**k—"

Wang Rongfa covered his face and cursed several times in one breath.

"I'll just say you owe a beating-"

He rushed up and gave Li Xiu a few kicks.
Li Xiu's body was lying on the ground, suddenly arched, a huge pain came, and a trace of blood overflowed between his lips, but he gritted his teeth and didn't even let out a muffled snort.
Such a hard reaction even made the boys who beat people babble.

"This good student can bear the pain."

Someone muttered.
In the shadows deep in the room, Li Xiu stiffened his body, his skin exposed outside his school uniform was as white as if transparent, and his jet-black hair was black like a crow feather, messily sticking to his face covered with fine cold sweat, covering his eyes.
Even if it is not compared with the tall and strong boys beside him who are holding cigarettes and have entered the end of puberty and show their adult figures, for teenagers of this age, Li Xiu's figure can be said to be too delicate.
Compared to her peers, Li Xiu is obviously much thinner, but her supposedly undesirable body type, combined with that almost beautiful face, has a subtle, indescribable attraction - at least for the girls of Qiming Middle School.
There is no doubt that as a transfer student from a poor family and taciturn, Li Xiu was quite popular among girls after he arrived in Qiming. It has nothing to do with the ambiguity between innocent boys and girls, as long as Li Xiu sits in the classroom, the girls will inevitably show him unconsciously preferential treatment and pity.
After all, few girls hate a beautiful teenager who is quiet, beautiful, smart, and has obvious physical defects.
However, this special kind of pity is very unsightly in the eyes of some stupid and reckless boys.

*
Li Xiu's body was a little unconsciously spasmodic, his eyes were slightly blackened, and his throat was filled with a fishy smell of metal.
He gasped silently to recover from the piercing pain in his abdomen and back. 
At the same time, he listened to the ugly shouts from Wang Rongfa and the group of lackeys, and his heart was filled with a trace of irritability.

He had never wanted to get into a conflict with such idiots.
The reason why Li Xiu transferred to Qiming at this time was purely just to get Qiming's high scholarship.
In the early years, Qiming was an international school, and many students did not need to go through a single-plank bridge at all, but in recent years, the national policy has changed greatly, and even the students of Qiming Middle School have to start the college entrance examination. In order to make his admission rate better, Qiming has recruited top students in other middle schools.

Li Xiu is the group of people who were brought over by Qiming with money.
Yes, Li Xiu's grades are very good, so good that the group of people in the Qiming admissions office can ignore his inconvenient right leg. According to the signed agreement, Li Xiu can get a lot of "rewards" as long as he achieves the high scores he deserves in the school examination, the city unified examination and the college entrance examination.
Li Xiu has calculated, with this money, he doesn't have to find ways to borrow living expenses from relatives and friends who have long been disconnected to go to college, and he doesn't have to worry about his grandmother's medical expenses for going to the hospital.
From the moment he entered the school, he knew that he was not from the same world as the group of powerful children in the school.
He came to Qiming to go to school just to get money, and he didn't think about becoming friends with these people.
Originally, he only planned to wait quietly until the end of the college entrance examination and then rely on his results to take the money and leave, but the result was so calculated, Li Xiu never thought that he just taught a few questions to the girls at the same table, and he inexplicably became a thorn in Wang Rongfa's side.
In fact, things weren't so bad, after all, when he was scolded by Wang Rongfa at the beginning, Li Xiu couldn't help but ignore it. But when Wang Rongfa used the topic to take off Li Xiu's pants in front of fox friends and dogs, and said to see if Li Xiu was a boy, Li Xiu still couldn't hold back, and grabbed the mop in the corner of the wall with an expressionless face.
Then, Li Xiu is no stranger to it, and it should be called a boring episode of campus bullying.
The class time is okay, although Qiming's teachers rarely really strictly manage this group of students from wealthy families, but Li Xiu's grades and body are here, even if the indifferent and snobbish teacher is somewhat interesting. But after school, Wang Rongfa summoned his ordinary fox friends to chase Li Xiu.
Sometimes Li Xiu can find a way to escape, and sometimes ...... He will be the same as today, blocked by Wang Rongfa and his gang.
Unfortunately, this time today, Wang Rongfa seems to be more excited than ever, and I don't know if his brain, which is not as big as a mung bean, has rarely squeezed out some new method of rectifying people.

Li Xiu felt the sharp pain spreading on his body, and thought indifferently.

The bullying methods that Wang Rongfa could come up with in the past were nothing more than dragging him to the corner，throwing cold water on the fall, or deliberately soiling his desk and dumping some garbage in his school bag.
But this time, Wang Rongfa directly dragged Li Xiu to the abandoned villa in the Xiao family's garden.

"Sure enough, looking at this guy's face is unpleasant."
Wang Rongfa kicked Li Xiu, and the piercing curse drew Li Xiu's attention back.
"Come on, Lao Wang, you are jealous of people's good parents, Zhang Yan is not blind, this lame man is indeed more eye-catching than you, hahaha......"
"Hahaha, that's not, the Zhang family is not short of money, maybe people want to raise a little white face."

……
A group of boys laughed around Wang Rongfa and Li Xiu, who couldn't move. In the end, it was Wang Rongfa's face that turned red, and he shouted angrily in annoyance to overpower the laughter of the other boys who gradually moved to the next three roads.
"Where's the place? Didn't you say you found the darkroom? I'd like to see if this guy can still put on this dead face when I come over tomorrow. ”

Hearing Wang Rongfa's conversation with the others, Li Xiu's expression froze.
Noticing Li Xiu's nervousness, Wang Rongfa grinned: "Yo, now you know that you're afraid?" That's not right...... Isn't your family specialized in this kind of feudal superstition? Why, are you really afraid of ghosts? ”

Li Xiu remained silent.
When Qiming Middle School was established, the tragedy of the Xiao family had already happened. In the entire Qiming Middle School, there is no one who does not know the legend of this haunted house.
For example, in the early years, it was said that Qiming, like other schools, had evening self-study, but it was not long before the principal hurriedly stopped it, because the students who studied at school in the evening could clearly see the brightly lit villa in the barren garden.
Through the cobwebs and dusty glass, you can even faintly glimpse the shadows in it.

In the night wind, there are faint, outdated old songs drifting in.
Some people also said that in fact, the land of Qiming Middle School was originally part of the Xiao family's haunted house, and after the school was built, the old villa was also renovated to serve as a staff dormitory for school workers.
As a result, the school worker did not live for a full week, and escaped from the villa with a lot of urine, and it is said that every night, the old villa was full of ghosts.
Obviously, there are only two people in the dormitory, but after waking up in the middle of the night, you will feel that the whole house is simply crowded.

……

The legends are endless.

As for Wang Rongfa's rectification methods this time, they are also very simple and rude.
A few days ago, when a few of his friends were looking for a place to smoke in the old villa, they accidentally found a very small, completely windowless closed dark room.

"I see how long you can be proud in front of me."
Wang Rongfa's most disgusting thing is Li Xiu's always expressionless face, it is obvious that he is the one who is bullied on campus, but when the lame and girly teenager looks indifferently over the crowd, Wang Rongfa always feels that he is the clown who jumps off the beam.
Finally, this time, after Li Xiu heard his plan, he finally showed the panic he wanted to see.

"Let me go back."
After being dragged here for so long, it was the first time that Wang Rongfa heard Li Xiu's hoarse voice.

Li Xiu's face was tense.

Indeed, Li Xiu is in a hurry at the moment.
He didn't really care about Wang Rongfa's clumsy bullying, but being locked in this kind of place was another matter.

If you come home late and delay "that thing......

He involuntarily fought a cold war.

"Tsk, it's rare, wait, cripple, are you really afraid of ghosts?!"

After laughing at Li Xiu, Wang Rongfa turned his head and urged his companions.

"Hey, hey, haven't you opened the door yet?"
The few people who had been following him were pouting their butts at this time, grossly rummaging through the corner of the room that had been piling up discarded debris for an unknown amount of time. Hearing Wang Rongfa's question, they also muttered in confusion.
"Strange, you were here two days ago? That door is quite conspicuous......"
The boys looked bewildered at the wall where the debris was pushed away and revealed to the public.
Over the years, the dampness has unconsciously infiltrated the brick walls inside, and the lower end of the luxurious European-style wallpaper has long been occupied by speckled dark cyan mold. The boys remember distinctly that it was here that they had discovered the strange little scarlet door, which was only half a man tall.
It looks like a door to a storage room, though it's a bit weird to have a storage room in this location.
After pushing the door, it was what they had told Wang Rongfa before, the narrow and closed dark room, and the door could be locked as it was from the outside.
The boys remember it very well, after all, the door was so strange that it was hard to forget.
But now that they've been looking for so long, there is only a wall full of mold and water marks in front of them, and there is no trace of the door at all.

"What are you kidding, you really can't find that place?"

"Am you misremembering? There's too many rooms in this house—"

"How is it possible, the cigarette butts on the ground are there."

……

"It's like a ghost."
A boy inadvertently blurted out a sentence, but it suddenly made everyone pause.

After a brief silence, there was a hint of strangeness on everyone's countenance.

No one really shows the fear of true feelings，but the inexplicable atmosphere became a little stiff, only Wang Rongfa was still immersed in resentment towards Li Xiu, and continued to shout for people to continue looking. In the end, the anger of several other people was also faintly provoked.

The dilapidated room resounded with the exchange of questions and curses from several people.

"Ah......h

Until a yawn of one interrupted the shrill shouting of the boys.
Wang Rongfa's voice suddenly stuck in his throat, and at the same time, the boys in the whole room also seemed to have received some order, and they all fell silent, and for a while, everyone focused all their attention on that person.

It was a handsome, tall boy.
Unlike Wang Rongfa and a few others, he did not wear extravagant and conspicuous fashion brands, but wore the suit-style school uniform of Qiming Middle School like a good student. But I don't know why, the upright British school uniform designed by the famous teacher is worn on him, and there is still a lingering sense of prodigality.

His hair is pale and this is the same as his pupils.
Under the setting sun, the boy's iris is like some kind of feline showing a light yellow, only a thin one in the middle, and the black pupil is embedded in it.

"Fang Shao, what do you think-"
Several people swallowed a mouthful of saliva, carefully looked at the "Fang Shao" look in their mouths, and asked.
When they were beating Li Xiu before, this "Fang Shao" stayed out of the matter, sitting cross-legged on the windowsill of the haunted villa as if he was an outsider, burying his head in his mobile phone.

"f**k, it's dead again...... Is the tower going to be a grave if it is left unpushed? ”
And it wasn't until this time that he raised his head from his mobile phone and frowned at Wang Rongfa and his group.

Fang Qian'an complained while throwing his phone aside.

Immediately, a dog leg stepped forward and diligently helped him put away his mobile phone.
Fang Qian'an jumped off the windowsill and stretched out like a big cat. He seemed to finally realize what had just happened here, and squinted at Li Xiu, who was pressed to the ground and covered in dust.

"Hey." He tilted his head and muttered at Li Xiu.

"You just apologize."

He said.

Realizing that Fang Qian'an was talking to him, Li Xiu raised his head and looked at him with difficulty.

Met Li Xiu's gaze, Fang Qianan yawned again boredly.
"Lao Wang doesn't have any bad intentions, and it's normal to be unhappy when you see people like you around his goddess. You provoked him so many times later, and you always made people squeak and scream, and I was annoyed if you didn't bother me. " When Wang Rongfa heard Fang Qian'an's words, he moved his lips angrily, but he didn't make any sound, and Fang Qian'an didn't pay attention to the stiffness of the boys around him, and continued with that lazy look, "You apologize to him and say that you won't be an eyesore anymore, and the matter is over. "

With that, he shrugged.

"Lao Wang won't trouble you again in the future."
Li Xiu stared at Fang Qian'an directly, and after being silent for a moment, he pulled the corners of his mouth.

"Phew."

Li Xiu spat at Fang Qian'an.
