Asia-12-Old Town.

The old town of every city is like this. Looking from the highway, it seems to be no different from other areas, with dense buildings, towering office buildings, and intricate streets. After dark, various car lights are dotted, accompanied by neon lights.

The rainbow reveals the most common prosperity.

But if you go deep into the old city, you can really feel why this place is called the "Old City".

Just like people, under the ravages of time, no matter how beautiful you are when you are young, you will still be old when you are old.

Once upon a time, the commercial district has become unpopular, and young people are rarely seen on the road. Only the old people whose souls have been trapped by time will choose to live in this kind of place.

There is no development, no effort, and no pressure.

[Yucai Primary School] is located in such an old city. Most parents like to leave their children in the homes of the elderly, so that they can concentrate more on working hard, and the elderly also have company and are less lonely.

As for the quality of teaching, the living environment, and the future of the children, these are all things for later. Even my own future is confused. How can I think about the future of my children?

It's four o'clock in the afternoon, the quietest time in this school

Because school will be over in an hour.

All the children were too lazy to make any more noise, quietly waiting for the most beautiful bell to ring.

And just outside the campus, a parent seemed to have arrived a little early. He walked around the school fence with his hands behind his back and walked around in circles.

When he turned to the third circle, the guard finally asked out of curiosity.

"Excuse me, are you here to pick up the child?"

The size of this primary school is not very large. The total number of teachers and students, according to a rough calculation, may be less than 500. The janitor has also been working in this school for half his life. Parents who pick up their children can see him every day.

Familiar faces must have some memories.

But the person in front of him was very unfamiliar to him.

He looks like he is in his 30s, but he looks young and is dressed like a young man in his 20s.

"Oh, yes." The parent said.

The guard looked him up and down again: "I haven't seen you very often."

"Haha" the parent smiled awkwardly: "I am Chen Hao's father. His grandma usually picks up this child. Today I am coming, because the teacher wants to find the parents."

"Oh~" The doorman understood immediately.

Naturally, he was very familiar with this kind of plot where children get into trouble and seek help from their parents. As for what class the child named Chen Hao was in, there seemed to be a child named Chen in the second grade.

No matter what, if the teacher calls me here, I won’t be able to save my face, so I’d better not ask any more questions.

"I said bro, how old is this school?"

Sure enough, the parent also changed the subject in embarrassment.

The guard smiled and said, "This school may not be big, but it is quite old. It must be more than forty years old at least."

"So, how long have you been working here?" This parent seemed to be very talkative.

"Thirty-five years, that's half a lifetime."

There is still one class before the end of school. The biggest trouble of being a janitor is boredom. Now there is a little brother chatting with me, and the janitor seems to have opened up his chat box.

Chatting and chatting

"Hey? Let me tell you, brother, has this school not taught any famous people in all these years?"

When the uncle heard this, he grinned happily: "Hey, don't tell me, he is really a famous person."

"Who?"

"Lu Zhang"

"Hiss" The parent seemed to be turning over his thoughts in his mind, and then he was stunned: "Lu Zhang? Is that the very famous and extremely rich Lu Zhang?"

"No, back then, this child went to this school for four full years. I was still young at that time, and I didn't even realize that this child could be so promising when he grew up."

"Do you still know Lu Zhang?"

"Of course, the size of the school at that time was not as good as it is now. There were three classes in one grade, and there were only about a hundred people coming in and out. How could I not know them?

Besides, Lu Zhang was also considered a campus celebrity back then."

"Oh? He was famous when he was a child?"

"Hehe." The guard said happily: "He is famous, but it is not the kind of fame you think. When he was in school, he became famous because everyone hated him."

The parents suddenly became interested: "Everyone hates him? Why?"

"Because this kid has a problem. He loves to lie."

"Well, what's the matter? Children all like to lie."

"No, no, no." The old guard waved his hand: "His lies are different. He didn't lie about poor test scores, being caught playing truant, or these things." The old guard organized his words: "But

He seemed to be lying just for the sake of lying.

For example, when I go to school in the morning, he passes by the guard room, and I accidentally look at him.

Then, he would specially come over to me and tell me uncle, uncle, you know, yesterday a big spider over one meter long ran out of my cabinet, which scared me."

"Ah?" At this time, the parent frowned: "How can this be a lie? Isn't this just nonsense? There is no one meter long spider."

"No, that's why I said this kid is a bit strange, and it's not just a spider. It's like 'I saw a ghost in the corner yesterday', 'The reflection in the mirror is smiling at me again'" Yes

There's a lanky ghost following me,' and other nonsense like that. He would say this every once in a while, 'You think this kid is always talking nonsense like this, how can other children like him?'"

The guard uncle was recalling and talking, but he suddenly noticed that the parent seemed to be in a daze.

"Hey? Brother, what's wrong?"

The parent suddenly came to his senses and said, "Ah, it's nothing, but did you just say that the lanky ghost was following him?"

"Yeah, I still remember hearing this clearly, because I didn't know what the Slender Ghost was at the time, so I asked him, and the kid Lu Shan told me very excitedly that he had no face and very long limbs.

Weird man, he spoke vividly, and then the bell rang, and he reluctantly ran back to the classroom."

The parents' brows furrowed even more tightly.

"That is to say, when Lu Shan was very young, he told you the story about the Slender Ghost, and in order to let you know more about the Slender Ghost, he was late for class?"

"Yeah, don't you think it's strange?" The guard smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The parent was silent for a few seconds, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, he raised his head again and asked.
