The search for a refuge for survivors was urgent, but Shen MO also wanted to understand what had happened in Yangzhou City.
He drove behind the two boys until they arrived at a school.
Some signs of the school had fallen off, leaving a few difficult-to-recognize characters: Yangzho..Academy.
He drove leisurely along while the boys ran in a hurry. They jogged towards the dormitory building. Some students came out of the dormitory to greet them, along with a female teacher, who seemed to be in her thirties, tall, thin, and sophisticated.
The boys rushed to the teacher, speaking and pointing towards Shen Mo.
Tan Xiao said, “Hey! Are these brats telling on us?”
The teacher glanced their way, she seemed nervous and ushered the students into the dormitory building.
Shen MO parked the car under the dormitory and said, “We’ll rest here for a while. Tan Xiao, you move the stuff, we’ll go out and find gas later.”
Tan Xiao responded and quickly jumped out of the car, then he asked, “Where am I moving the stuff to?”
“First floor, choose two dorm rooms.” Shen MO casually pointed it out, then got the wheelchair off the car.
Teacher Cheng, being of older age, also helped with some small items.
While they were moving things in and out, more than a dozen students crowded onto the railings on the third and fourth floors, their heads craning to look, curious and alert. They were like a group of wild cats startled by passers-by, tense for no reason.
When Shen MO sat Bai Youwei in the wheelchair, there came a barely audible gasp from the building, as if they had seen something shocking.
Bai Youwei was in a bad mood already, and the sound irritated her further. She promptly lifted her eyes and glared at them –
“What are you looking at! Never seen a cripple? Keep staring and I’ll gouge your eyeballs out!”
A few timid students beat a hasty retreat.
Bai Youwei pointed at Tan Xiao and said, “Didn’t you say you didn’t kill enough yesterday? Go up and slaughter them!”
The students’ faces changed drastically, scattering like startled crows! Then there was the sound of doors banging shut as they all hid in their dorms! Locking their doors!
Teacher Cheng became anxious, quickly shouting up towards the building, “Oh, don’t be afraid. We are just joking, just joking! We are not bad people!”
Bai Youwei sneered, “Yeah, we were kidding. Cheng, you got to coax them all out, then let Tan Xiao slaughter them!”
“Alright, calm down.” Shen MO said in a composed tone, mixed with a hint of helplessness.
He wheeled Bai Youwei into the student dormitory, with a peacemaking tone he said, “Didn’t you say you didn’t get enough sleep? Let me get your mattress for you, you can rest for a while.”
Bai Youwei huffed, “Forget it, these bunk beds can’t fit my mattress.”
Shen MO looked around the dormitory, “We can put two beds together.”
Bai Youwei gave him a look, she seemed to be in a slightly better mood, lifted her chin arrogantly and said, “Alright, go ahead and put it together.”
As Shen MO came out of the dormitory, Teacher Cheng was anxiously pacing outside. Seeing Shen MO, he quickly approached, “Xiaoshen, you see this…”
Before Cheng could speak, Shen MO, understanding his concerns, interrupted,
“I’ll go upstairs and explain to them, don’t worry.”
He hesitated, then added. “Also, don’t take to heart what she just said.”
“No, no.” Teacher Cheng waved it off, “I know Weiwei means no harm, she’s a good girl …”
No, she does have malice.
At this moment, footsteps could be heard from the stairs. Both men looked and saw the female teacher.
She was holding a pot, and when she got to Shen MO and Teacher Cheng, she apologized with an awkward smile, “I’m so sorry, my students misunderstood you.”
She handed them the pot, “This is some vegetable congee I’ve just made, you can have it if you’d like..”
