Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 87

Qi Guangjun stood close to the door, nervously watching the shaking door, and said, "Kong Laoliu, was your mother the last one to come in? The door wasn't locked."

Kong Laoliu said, "Are you stupid? It was Lao Xia and the other two who came in last."

Qi Guangjun thought for a moment and said, "Oh right, Xia Maosheng, you three were the last to come in, hurry up and come down and lock the door."

Xia Maosheng laughed while lying on the pillow and said, "You can reach it if you sit up, just insert it, I have to run all that way."

Qi Guangjun wrapped himself tightly in the blanket and said, "Whoever came in last, you have to insert it, hurry up." As he spoke, the door moved again, startling him.

Kong Lao Liu's young wife suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard she could barely breathe. Xia Maosheng looked up and asked, "What's wrong? Have you gone mad?"

The young wife lay on the pillow, laughing as she wiped away her tears, saying, "Sixth brother is a coward, hahaha, hahahaha."

Yang Tiebin, standing to the side, exclaimed, "Damn, that's so direct!"

The room fell silent for a second, then burst into laughter.

Xiao Wei crawled out of bed, jumped off, and went to lock the door. While burrowing back under the covers, he said, "I'm coming in, I'm coming in! It's in the first row of the classroom. Can anyone go check? Am I mistaken?"

Wang Zhilong said from above, "Just keep going and keep threatening him. It would be great if his wife stuck with you, that would be great."

Kong Laoliu cursed, "Get lost!"

The room erupted in laughter again. Kong Laoliu said helplessly, "Wife, can we not announce our family affairs so loudly? Are you afraid they won't know what you're up to?"

Yang Changjiu said from the corner, "What the hell are you laughing at, you bunch of gays? I need to pee now, what am I supposed to do?"

Ma Xiaojun, who was standing next to him, also said, "I want to go too. I didn't originally plan to, but the more I couldn't go, the more I wanted to go." He is Yang Changjiu's cousin, and the boy is only sixteen years old this year.

Yang Changjiu sat up and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you. Don't be afraid, they're just making things up. Nobody should say anything nonsense, my brother is a coward."

Xia Maosheng said, "Well, never mind, I didn't see any little white people, I really didn't see any."

Yang Tiebin said, "I didn't see it either."

Yang Changjiu said, "Fuck you, I'm really fed up. Xiaojun, go pee on their bed. Those four are just messing around there, go pee on their bed."

Li Guangzhao said, "What does this have to do with me? I didn't go out or say anything. What did I say about a little white man?" Everyone laughed again, but no one dared to go out to the toilet at that moment. The classroom outside was 150 square meters, which was already large. The corridor outside was narrow and dark with a high ceiling, and the toilet was even darker, with echoes. At this moment, the wind was howling through the cracks in the windows, creating a scene straight out of a horror movie.

Yang Changjiu got up, put on his clothes, and sat down on the edge of the bed. He said to Ma Xiaojun, "Come on, don't be lazy." Ma Xiaojun shook his head.

Yang Changjiu ran over to Xiaowei and the others, took a cigarette from Xia Maosheng, lit it, and said, "Get up! You three are too bad. Get up and go to the toilet with my brother. Do you believe I'll bring a basin of water and pour it into your beds?"

Xia Maosheng suddenly propped himself up with his hand, pointed at the door and said to Yang Changjiu, "Look, he's smiling."

Yang Changjiu swallowed hard and said, "Damn, your mom scared me half to death, are you trying to kill me?" Xia Maosheng chuckled and lay down, saying, "I thought you were brave enough not to be afraid."

Then they heard a series of "thump, thump" sounds coming from the classroom outside, approaching the dormitory door. Yang Changjiu rolled over and crawled into Li Guangzhao's bed, burying his head in the pillow and looking towards the door. No one made a sound; everyone waited quietly.

The old gatekeeper's face appeared on the glass door. He glanced into the room through the glass and said, "Turn off the lights when you sleep. What's all this noise about? I only hear you guys making 'oh' noises downstairs. Be quiet."

After saying that, the old man turned to leave, but Yang Changjiu quickly jumped out of Li Guangzhao's bed, ran over, opened the door, and said, "Grandpa, Grandpa, don't go yet." The old man turned back to look at him and asked, "What?"

Yang Changjiu smiled sheepishly and said, "Well, my brother needs to use the restroom, but he's a bit timid. Could you wait here for a minute, sir? Just one minute, okay? Xiaojun, hurry up."

As a result, a dozen or so people jumped off the bed and rushed to the door. They were all going to the toilet, and even Kong Laoliu and his young wife ran out.

The old man shook his head and said, "You bunch of young men, you're as cowardly as mice. What are you afraid of? People died in this building decades ago. I'm not afraid even when I'm downstairs alone, so what are you afraid of?"

Xia Maosheng got out of bed, lit a cigarette for the old man, and asked, "Grandpa, has anyone died in this building?"

The old man took a drag of his puff and said, "Back then, it was chaotic. People died everywhere, especially in hospitals. Why didn't you go? All those tall guys were useless. Before I came here, I only heard about it. I only saw it once, around there, outside that little door a bit past the toilet. That door's sealed off now. There was a woman who died there, completely naked. It was winter then. When they found her, they didn't even know what had happened to her. Her whole body was blue. I had to bring some people to get her down there. What's so scary about that?"

After saying that, the old man, with a cigarette in his mouth and his hands behind his back, walked away downstairs.

Yang Tiebin gasped and whispered to Xiao Wei under the covers, "Damn, this is it, I'm never going to the toilet again."

Wang Zhilong, on the upper bunk, said, "This old man... he's not here to give us courage, he's here to cheer us on. Tomorrow we'll buy a basin, and put it in the room."

Ansejun said, "There are women too. What do we do?"

Wang Zhilong said, "Okay, okay, let's buy two, ah, basins."

An Saijun got out of bed, put on his clothes and shoes, and walked outside, saying, "You guys are talking nonsense. What if you really run into some cowards and get scared badly? Anyone else going? Come with me, you guys go first."

When it comes to scaring people, the more people there are, the more afraid the last person will be. That fear multiplies exponentially, and it really takes courage to be at the back.

Several more people got up and went to the toilet with An Saijun. He was older and therefore bolder.

A few minutes later, a series of footsteps thundered as the people who had finished using the toilet sprinted back like 100-meter dashers, afraid of falling behind others. Kong Lao Liu's young wife, with bare legs, wearing only a pair of shorts and a top, ran very fast.

An Saijun was the last to enter, locked the door, and said, "I've turned off the lights."

The room was filled with screams and shouts. The lights were left on, and no one knows when everyone finally fell asleep.
