"Escape from the Horror Campus"

Chu Tian got into college, and he got into the nationally renowned "Jinghai University"! Even though it was deep in the mountains with extremely backward communication capabilities, this news spread throughout Liulong Village in a very short time, relying on word of mouth alone. From the elderly leaning on canes to the toddlers just learning to speak, everyone knew this joyous news. Truly, our ancestors have accumulated blessings! Truly, the divine dragon has shown its presence! Our Liulong Village has actually produced a real top scholar! Instantly, a feeling of "festivity" hovered over Liulong Village - just like the rumors that a divine dragon with vast powers was circling above the mountains, sheltering the people of the village. Before long, a courier package in bright red, bearing the agile silhouette of a champion hurdler, arrived in the hands of Chu Tian, the top scholar of Liulong Village. Liulong Village erupted into deafening drumbeats and lively celebrations. "Crack, crackle, crackle!" Firecrackers, numbering in the thousands, exploded in the courtyard of Chu Tian's home, with red sparks raining down from the sky, and wisps of white smoke enveloping Chu Tian's still tender and surprised expression, his slender figure looming in the haze. "This is truly like the arrival of the God of Literature!" The oldest uncle in the Chu family, with sparse grey whiskers, chuckled as if greeting the spring blossoms. "That little fish child from back then has really made something of himself today." "That's right, indeed…" But the happiest, most excited ones were Chu Tian's parents. Upon hearing the news of his son's success in high school, Chu Tian's father didn't even bother with his meal, tossing aside his hoe and pulling Chu Tian's mother, covered in dirt from the fields, with him. They rushed back home over the Dragon Ridge Mountain, shouting and cheering madly, completely abandoning his usual stern demeanor as a father. And at this moment, he was even more spirited, not only changing into clothes reserved only for New Year's, but also unprecedentedly snatching the hair wax from the wealthy neighbor's house, meticulously grooming his hair that resembled a chicken coop. As he mingled with relatives and friends, responding cheerfully to everyone's congratulations, Chu Tian's father suddenly felt like he was twenty years younger! As for the top scholar Chu Tian, he was forgotten by the people, who were either excited and thrilled or jealous and envious. He stood there holding the bright red courier package, his bright eyes devoid of any excitement or joy. It seemed that the top scholar who had been admitted to one of the top universities in the country was not him at all. In his eyes, the radiant smile of the hurdling champion and the festive red packaging of the courier were somehow detestable! Everyone was immersed in the joy brought by the top scholar's success in the college entrance examination, setting off firecrackers extravagantly. After Chu Tian's family finished setting them off in front of their house, they went to the village chief's house, then to the ancestral shrine, and finally to the graves of Chu Tian's deceased grandparents... The crackling of firecrackers continued from noon until 8 p.m., uninterrupted. Then came the banquet. Chu Tian's father laughed heartily, his joy covering the entire Liulong Village surrounded by the basin, until late at night. After the guests left, Chu Tian approached his mother. "Mom..." Chu Tian seemed to summon great courage, but he couldn't bring himself to look at his mother's wrinkled face. Chu Tian's mother, in her early forties, already looked like an old woman, as she not only carried the drunk Chu Tian's father but also carried the weight of the entire family. “*****，*****，*******，***！” *************。 *******************，******，**********，*：“**，*，*******” ******“*”*，****************。********，*****“*”******。***，************，***************。 “********” “**，******！” *******。***********、********，*********。 **********，***************。*******：*****！ ******************，*******，****************。***，******************，*************。 ******。***********！******，*****“**”，*********！********——**、***、**、***——*************，**！*******！ **********。*********，********，****，********，***************。****************“100”，***********。 *****，*******！ ******************！ ***，“******，****，*********。 *。。。**********，**********。****************，**********。***、**、******？***********，****！ “***，**？”************，******。 “*************。******，*：“*，*********，***。 **********，*：“**，*****。*******。***************，******，***********，****，*****************。 “****，****。**********。 **********。**************。******************，*************。 ***，**********。 ****************，*************。***************。****
