Chapter 234
Entering Junior High (1)
It had always been Jiang Xiaoman who told Zhang Xinhua stories to scare him. This was the first time that Zhang Xinhua mentioned something within the blind spot of Jiang Xiaoman’s knowledge.
Jiang Xiaoman touched her head. She felt like she couldn’t show her ignorance, so she pretended to be calm and said, “Ah, I know, maybe.”
Zhang Xinhua gasped in fright and covered his mouth with his hand. Then he panicked and looked left and right; when it seemed that no one was looking, he whispered, “So, was it like a ghost making you go in circles so couldn’t find your way home? Or like when the number of stairs differ during the night and day? Or a female ghost who swings with her suicide rope on her neck?”
“Huuuu…” So scary, so scary.
Jiang Xiaoman shuddered and subconsciously approached Yu Qingshi’s side. She secretly grabbed his arm, then glared at Zhang Xinhua and said, “Nonsense! How can there be such things like you said?!”
Superstition, unscientific!
However, it was really scary.
It was even scarier than the Mama Tiger!
Zhang Xinhua also patted his chest in fear, and said with a frightened look, “But that’s what the legends say! I’m just telling the truth. Didn’t you experience it?”
Jiang Xiaoman was not very scared of such supernatural things, but her curiosity was piqued.
She decided not to pretend and asked directly, “What is it? What are the Ten Mysteries?”
“The Ten Mysteries are…” Zhang Xinhua dragged his voice, and then whispered, “I don’t know either.”
“Eh?”
“I heard it from my cousin.” Zhang Xinhua still looked mysterious. “When she was chatting with her friends, she deliberately avoided me, saying that children don’t need to know it. I had to eavesdrop to hear a little!”
It turned out that it was something that only adults knew, and children couldn’t know.
Jiang Xiaoman asked again, “How old is your cousin?”
“She’s in junior high school.”
“That’s not that much of an adult.” Jiang Xiaoman tilted her head and thought for a while. She felt that she was also a small adult who had been through all kinds of things, and was no longer a child. It would be fine for her to know these things, so she continued asking, “What is it really?”
“It is said that in every corner of the school, there is an unknown legend…”
It started in the dormitory, where a girl once hanged herself. Later, the ghost scare caused it to be changed into a boys’ dormitory. Boys had strong Yang energy and could hold back female ghosts.
Some playground always collapsed for no reason; there were terrible things buried below and children often disappeared in the middle of the night.
There was also a library where the number of stairs changed between day and night. You couldn’t turn your head when you walk, and if you miscounted the number, you wouldn’t be able to get out!
Etcetera, etcetera.
Each one sounded terrifying.
Jiang Xiaoman and Yu Qingshi were shocked.
They had never heard of this!
She still wanted to continue asking, but right now Zhang Xinhua had already crawled under the table, hugging Xiaoman’s legs and shivering, “Xiao Man, help me! Xiao Man, help me! I said too many things that I shouldn’t say, something will definitely come tonight to get me!”
Before Jiang Xiaoman could react, Yu Qingshi already kicked him first and said in a deep voice, “Let go!”
Zhang Xinhua had to let go of Jiang Xiaoman, but he still did not dare to get out of the table. He poked his head out and asked Jiang Xiaoman with a sad face, “Xiaoman, what should I do? Am I going to be taken away?”
“No.” Jiang Xiaoman asked, “Why do you have to be taken away for saying this? I have told you about the Mama Tiger so many times, but I have not been taken away by the Mama Tiger.”
“Oh, that’s right.” Zhang Xinhua was a bit relieved, but he was still scared. “But my cousin said that she didn’t talk about this in elementary school, she only talked about it afterwards. When she goes to junior high school, high school, and university there will be more and more legends like these!”
So unreasonable, even legends had to be treated differently?
Why could adults know but not children?
Moreover, it was also a horror story. Why could she talk about the Mama Tiger but not the School Mysteries?
Jiang Xiaoman was not afraid anymore; she simply came to a conclusion.
Mama Tiger was a fake story, so the School Ten Mysteries was probably also fake. Mama Tiger was used by adults to coax children to sleep, so maybe the School Ten Mysteries was… used to deceive children and keep them from running around?
It made sense.
Jiang Xiaoman realized that she uncovered the adults’ secret. With a mysterious smile, she coaxed Zhang Xinhua out of the table, but Zhang Xinhua wouldn’t listen to her.
Since there was no other way, Jiang Xiaoman had to say, “Since you are so scared, then I will help draw you a talisman.”
“Ah, you can also draw talismans?” Zhang Xinhua’s eyes sparkled.
Why did Jiang Xiaoman know this?
Why was there such a big difference between people?
Zhang Xinhua felt an unprecedented sense of mettle in his heart. He finally got out and asked cautiously, “Can you help me draw a talisman to ward off the evil things? The School Ten Mysteries won’t come for me, right? I only told you about this kind of thing, and I won’t tell anyone else in the future. ”
He was so scared.
Sure enough, what his cousin said was right!
This kind of thing could not be told to others. As soon as he said it, his back felt cold and sweaty, it felt really terrible!
It was as if he was being stared at by something. It was so mysterious!
