"It was an early summer night.
Six high school students came to the back of the school.
The group of boys were named Li Bin, Jia Ming, Hu Sheng, Zhao Guan, Wang Xiaowen, and Wang Xiaowu.
That day was the third day after the college entrance exam. Although everything was still unknown before the results were announced, it would not affect their revelry for the next half a month.
And tonight, the way they prepared to party … .was to use textbooks as fuel and have a barbecue party.
Perhaps it seemed a bit ridiculous, but for them at that time, it was definitely a good idea. The six of them had already agreed on this plan on the second day after the exam. They chose the back of the school as the gathering place, and the time was set at nine o 'clock in the evening.
That night, after nightfall, the six of them came to the bus station near the school.
Wang Xiaowen and Wang Xiaowu, the two brothers, were the first to come, they brought the ingredients for the barbecue. Zhao Guan came after them, he brought a portable refrigerator filled with cold beer. Li Bin and Jia Ming also came, they were responsible for the barbecue utensils and tableware. When it was close to nine o 'clock, Hu Sheng also came, he brought gasoline and matches.
Of course, in addition to these things, each of them … .brought a backpack full of textbooks.
After the six of them met, they went up the mountain through a small path.
The back of the school was not a steep mountain. To put it bluntly, it was just a barren hillside. Generally speaking, it would take fifteen minutes to reach the top of the mountain. The forest on the mountain was not dense. Because no one took care of it for many years, most of the trees had withered, and the roadside was overgrown with weeds.
The six boys were all hot-blooded teenagers. Although they were carrying heavy things, their speed of going up the mountain was almost unaffected.
In less than twenty minutes, they arrived at the top of the back of the mountain.
From here, they could see the panoramic view of the school below. From the school building to the field, it was clear at a glance.
Not long after, they set up the barbecue utensils, prepared the fuel, and lit the fire.
The group of people sat around the fire, talking and laughing, and started the barbecue.
They used the textbooks that had tortured them for countless days and nights as paper towels to wipe their hands and mouth. From time to time, they would tear off a few pages or throw the whole book into the fire.
They looked at the school building in the distance, many complicated emotions surging in their hearts. There were indeed many bad memories there, but there were also beautiful things …
No matter what, the three years they spent there was an indelible part of their growth. Perhaps something that felt bitter today would have a different taste many years later.
After three rounds of drinking and eating, everyone left.
A few hours later, they had finished all the ingredients they had brought. Most of the textbooks had also been burned.
But there was still enough beer, about a third left.
It was late at night, and Hu Sheng suddenly had an idea. "By the way, have you heard of … the ghost story about this back mountain?"
Jia Ming immediately replied, "I've heard of her before. I think she's called … the school belle Xue Ran?"
Li Bin said, "Eh? Why did I hear that he was called the Life-Killing Mad Demon? '
Wang Xiaowen and Wang Xiaowu, on the other hand, said, "The version we heard is called … Scavenger."
Zhao Guan shrugged and continued, "Wandering Specter."
'Huh? So, there are so many ghost stories at the back of the mountain? Hu Sheng himself was shocked. He had wanted to use this opportunity to tell a ghost story to scare these kids, but he didn't expect that they had all heard similar stories.
'Why don't … we tell it ourselves?' Hu Sheng suggested.
The others agreed. Therefore, after chatting for a while, they started to narrate their stories one by one.
Actually, things like ghost stories … to put it simply, could be summarized in three to five sentences or even one sentence. However, these guys exaggerated and made it sound like a ghost story, and it took them a long time.
The 'School Belle Xue Ran' mentioned by Jia Ming was basically … a very beautiful girl who was ostracized and bullied by other female students because of her appearance. Finally, one day, she couldn't take it anymore. She came to the back mountain and used a utility knife to cut her face and bleed to death. In the three months that followed, the girls who had bullied her all died one after another on this mountain. When they died, their faces were severely distorted, as if there was a pair of invisible hands that wanted to pinch their faces into the appearance of another person …
Li Bin's' Life-Killing Mad Demon 'story was about … a crazed murderous teacher who targeted the students in the school. Every time he killed a student, he would dismember their body and hide it in the back mountain. Until one night … he went up the mountain again to dump the body, but he never came back down. Later, the police found his body on the mountain, and around it, they found a large number of other body parts. The body parts were like a swarm of insects that covered the teacher's body, and no one could pull them off.
The Wang brothers' scavenger story was the simplest. It said that … sometimes, on the mountain, there would be a hunchbacked old man with a green face who carried a basket. If he greeted you, you should not answer. Just pretend you didn't hear him, or else you would be tossed into the basket and carried away …
Zhao Guan's' Wandering Spirit 'was … once upon a time, there was a very cowardly student who didn't dare to go to school because he was afraid of being bullied. Therefore, every morning after leaving home, he would hide in the back mountain and only return home when the sky was dark. After a period of time, due to the lack of lunch, his body became weaker and weaker. Combined with the fact that he would be spacing out the whole day, his mental state became unfocused. In the end, the school and his parents found out about this matter. They put all the blame on the student without any explanation. His family even gave him a good beating. However, the next day, the student left home like usual and never returned. From that day onwards, people would often see a shadow wandering the mountain, but once someone got close, he would disappear, and no one could find him …
The five of them finished telling their stories. Finally, it was Hu Sheng's turn to tell his story.
As the initiator, he was confident that his story would be the scariest, so he chose to be the last.
By then, the atmosphere had become quite strange. Even though the six boys were at an age where they were not afraid of anything, after listening to four ghost stories in a row in this kind of environment, their palms were sweating.
Seeing that it was almost midnight, when the supernatural atmosphere was at its peak, Hu Sheng began his story …
"The ghost story that I'm going to tell … has no fixed name because it has too many names, and no one knows the original name." Hu Sheng was a good talker, so he started off with a mysterious story. "The story goes like this … many years ago, there were two students at this school, one male and one female. They were childhood sweethearts, and when they were in their second year of high school, they were already in a relationship, and they even had a physical relationship …
However, the good times did not last long, and this was eventually found out by both parents. What happened next was naturally a drama of breaking up a pair of lovebirds. However, this pair of lovers did not give up just like that. They had no money, and they did not have the ability to survive without their family. The only thing they could do was to use their own lives to complain to the world …
"Therefore, on a dark and windy night, the two of them came to the mountain …"
At this point, Hu Sheng suddenly stopped talking.
His expression abruptly changed, and his face suddenly turned deathly white, his eyes staring straight ahead.
Li Bin, Jia Ming, Zhao Guan, and the Wang brothers also felt that something was wrong. They turned their heads nervously and looked in the direction that Hu Sheng was looking …
He saw a man and a woman, each holding a flashlight, walking slowly along the path up the mountain.
Even though they were not wearing school uniforms, from their appearance, they looked like high school students.
Vaguely, he could even hear their conversation ….
"Hey, do you feel that … the surroundings have suddenly become cold …" the female student said.
"Really?" The male student said nonchalantly. "It's probably just your imagination …" He forced a smile. "It's just a test of courage. Don't be so nervous."
"But this mountain is really strange …" the female student replied. "Have you not heard of the ghost story of the 'Six Ghosts'?"
The two of them talked as they walked. At this point, they 'passed' through the bodies of Hu Sheng and the rest.
At the same time, the fire, barbecue, beer, and ashes on the ground all disappeared.
"Huh? What's that? "the male student asked.
The female student said mysteriously, "I heard … many years ago, on a summer night, there were six boys who came to the mountain … to barbecue with textbooks.
"Haha … are they crazy?" the male student laughed.
"I heard that they were all third-year high school students who had just finished their college entrance exams," the female student replied.
"Oh … then I understand," the male student replied.
The female student continued. "Unexpectedly … when they were barbecuing, an accident happened, and it caused a fire. In the end, it turned into a forest fire and burned all six of them to death on the mountain. More than half of the forest on the mountain was burned down, and it became a barren mountain."
'This can be considered as extreme joy begetting sorrow... 'As the boy replied, he carelessly stroked his arm, because at this moment … he also faintly felt a trace of coldness.
"It's not over yet …" the female student said. "Later, the college entrance exam results were announced. In the end, all six of them were admitted to their ideal universities. Unfortunately, they will never see their admission letters. "
"Ha … Haha … It's quite creepy …" The male student's smile became more and more unnatural. The hair on his body stood up, and he glanced at his surroundings from the corner of his eyes as if to see if there was anything hidden in the darkness …
"From then on …" the female student continued. "There was a rumor … Every summer night, there would be occasional flames on the mountain, and those were the six of them …"
Her words stopped abruptly because … she saw a scorched and festering hand on the shoulder of the male student beside her. However, the male student did not seem to know anything … "
Feng Bujue's story came to an end. He paused for a few seconds and stared at the imitation soul. "Alright, it's over. How was it?"
