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 Xiaomanâs knowledge.
Jiang Xiaoman touched her head. She felt like she couldnât show her ignorance, so she pretended to be calm and said, âAh, I know, maybe.âVissit for updates
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, âSo, was it like a ghost making you go in circles so couldnât 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?â
âHuuuu...â So scary, so scary.
Jiang Xiaoman shuddered and subconsciously approached Yu Qingshiâs side. She secretly grabbed his arm, then glared at Zhang Xinhua and said, âNonsense! How can there be such things like you said?!â
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, âBut thatâs what the legends say! Iâm just telling the truth. Didnât you experience it?â
Jiang Xiaoman was not very scared of such supernatural things, but her curiosity was piqued.
She decided not to pretend and asked directly, âWhat is it? What are the Ten Mysteries?â
âThe Ten Mysteries are...â Zhang Xinhua dragged his voice, and then whispered, âI donât know either.â
âEh?â
âI heard it from my cousin.â Zhang Xinhua still looked mysterious. âWhen she was chatting with her friends, she deliberately avoided me, saying that children donât need to know it. I had to eavesdrop to hear a little!â
It turned out that it was something that only adults knew, and children couldnât know.
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 adultsâ secret. With a mysterious smile, she coaxed Zhang Xinhua out of the table, but Zhang Xinhua wouldnât listen to her.
Since there was no other way, Jiang Xiaoman had to say, âSince you are so scared, then I will help draw you a talisman.â
âAh, you can also draw talismans?â Zhang Xinhuaâs 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, âCan you help me draw a talisman to ward off the evil things? The School Ten Mysteries wonât come for me, right? I only told you about this kind of thing, and I wonât tell anyone else in the future. â
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!
