Chapter 65

  As soon as Teacher Wen walked out of the classroom during recess, the students immediately got up. With expectant faces, they urged Huajijian: "Huajijian, hurry up and let it go! We're waiting to see!"

  "Don't worry about it, everyone. Anyway, you can't escape."

  Dujiajun signaled everyone to quiet down, while giving a meaningful glance at Youyou who was hiding in the corner. The others seemed to have received some kind of hint and turned their heads to stare at her one after another. Youyou felt unnatural under their gaze, as if she were a lowly animal on display in a zoo for people to gawk at.

  Her fingers restlessly scraped at the whitewash on the wall.

  Are you really going to help?

  Hua Qizhen first grabbed the DV and ran to the door, making sure that Wen Laoshi wouldn't come back before closing it with a sigh of relief. Then she walked over to the TV, connected the DV to the TV using an adapter, turned on the TV, and then quickly ran back, her butt half-turned.

  The TV screen is pitch black, and it can be seen that it's nighttime. The streetlights are dimly lit in the darkness, blinking with a terrifying single eye. In the shaky camera, a brother and sister crossing the road come into view. From their silhouettes alone, their exact appearance cannot be made out, but many people have already sensed something, sneaking peeks while covering their mouths to stifle giggles.

  Cheng Yitian looked at Youyou beside him with concern. Who else could the person in the video be? He really wanted to rush up and pull out the DV camera's plug, then scold this group of peers who took pleasure in mocking others.

  However, Youyou gently pulled his hand back, pulling back his intention.

  It's all right. Her wandering expression became even more determined. She believed that Arin would never let her be bullied by everyone again.

  The screen quickly zooms in on the back of the siblings, and the person holding the DV starts running, rapidly approaching the siblings who just bought zongzi and are walking back. The scene flashes by a stall selling zongzi...

  The screen froze like this, and it didn't move for a long time.

  What's going on?

  Hua Qizhen, who was full of doubts, got up and ran to the TV under Du Jiajun's urging, checked the plug, and examined the DV, but still couldn't find the problem.

  How did it become unusable? It was still playing smoothly this morning.

  The audience in the classroom burst into boos. A boy shouted: "Hey, Huajiqian, your DV is out of order, throw it away!"

  "You're the one who's crazy!" Hu Qiuzhen retorted, dissatisfied. But the DV machine seemed to be working fine, and it was a new brand she had just bought. Hu Qiuzhen muttered under her breath about the damned manufacturer, and in frustration, she slammed the DV with her hand.

  That's good. The TV screen is working again now.

  However, the background is very pale. The streets of the black night suddenly turned into a desolate rural road. There was no one in the picture. Under the dull sky, the dim wildflowers hung their heads dejectedly.

  Where is this? Hu Qi Zhen was at a loss, she had never taken such a video. She hadn't been to the countryside for a long time, and she always hated the countryside where cow dung and pig manure were everywhere, and the country people were so rustic!

  Originally, No. 2 was going to let his classmates appreciate the scene of Yu Youzi's self-deprecation, but instead, this inexplicable video came out and caused trouble. The waiting audience was clearly very disappointed, and a boy sang a rap to mock: "Yo! Yo! Yo! Huā Qí Zhēn yo, Huā Qí Cān! Your DV is still stupid! Stupid! Stupid!"

  "What the heck!" Hu Qi Zhen scolded the boy, feeling utterly humiliated. She wanted to pull out the TV plug in annoyance. But then a girl suddenly shouted: "Hey, someone's here."

  Everyone's attention was once again focused on the TV. As expected, a woman appeared on the small road in the screen, dressed very ordinarily, with her back to the camera. Next, a child also appeared from behind the lens. The child wore a yellow raincoat and held a bright red rubber ball, which stood out especially against the gloomy background.

  They should be mother and son or mother and daughter. The mother is holding the child's hand, with her back to the camera, walking slowly along the path.

  The screen gradually expands as it goes deeper along the small path, and you can see houses, ponds, banana trees, etc. in the village. At the entrance of the village, there is a stall selling zongzi. The man and woman in front of the stall greet each other happily and call out the name of the little boy.

  He called her A Lian.
