Ding Li took out a pack of Hongtashan. He rarely smoked, but he always carried a pack with him.
Zhang Jicai took it over unceremoniously and said, "When everyone arrives, let's go have a drink together. I'll invite you!"
Ding Li shrugged, saying it didn't matter. The environment of this dormitory was really not very good. It smelled musty, as if no one had lived there for a long time, and the plaster on the walls was moldy and peeling off.
"Ding Li, don't be in a hurry to make the bed. The school administrator said that he will paint our room later."
Ding Li was not in a hurry. Anyway, he brought a small bag, a few changes of clothes, and even prepared to buy new bedding.
After waiting for a long time, another dormitory roommate named Wang Kefan also came back, and the three of them went to drink together.
It’s not easy to go out for a meal in this damn place. The food at the school is said to be quite exciting and rich in content, so the two pioneers who had been through the mines before unanimously requested to go out to eat, no matter how far away they were! This shows that these two people are very interested in the cafeteria.
The food resentment is so deep!
People often say that women's friendships come quickly, but in fact men's friendships come just as quickly, especially after drinking and speculating.
Zhang Jicai is from Shandong, but he didn't say so. Drinking is refreshing and people are cheerful. Wang Kefan is from the south. He drinks half the alcohol and doesn't eat chili. But he has a good face and can't stand the excitement. At first he said he wouldn't drink, but Ding Li persuaded him.
It took him a long time before he said he should drink less. But when he got excited, he couldn't even try to persuade him not to drink, saying that others looked down upon him.
Ding Li's drinking capacity is not mentioned. He started drinking when he was in elementary school. He spent the whole afternoon drinking and chatting with Shen Ye. Naturally, his drinking capacity is quite good.
After the three of them finished drinking, they became as good as brothers, arm in arm.
Wang Kefan was completely drunk and was being driven by Ding Li. Zhang Jicai suddenly said to Ding Li, "We don't want to go back tonight? Find a place to sleep."
Then he lowered his voice and said, "This is what a school janitor told me. It's because the students haven't all arrived yet and it's not very popular. It's not very clean to sleep in there!"
Ding Li curled his lips. He knew this right away. The school was built like this and the Feng Shui system was in a mess. Can it be cleaned?
Ding Li said: "It's okay, just sleep, I'm here!"
Zhang Jicai became anxious and said, "It's true. You didn't even see the peach branches stuck by our beds. I'm not going to lie to you, Wang Kefan and I have been haunted by nightmares in our sleep these past two days!"
Nightmares, also known as ghosts on the bed, are generally explained in popular science as a phenomenon in which the muscles and nerves have not yet reacted due to sudden awakening, so that the whole body seems to be pressed by something and cannot move.
Folks call it "ghost pressure", and some places in small counties call it "rat obsession". It means being obsessed with rats, because many people hear rats when they can't move.
As far as Ding Li knows, there are many reasons for nightmares. But it would be a bit strange for two people to be suppressed at the same time.
After saying this, Ding Li wanted to go back and take a look. Zhang Jicai said: "It's useless for you to go back. We told the school and the school management office sent someone to clean up the house for us!"
Ding Liqi asked: "Is there anyone else in the school who knows this?"
"What do you mean by being arrogant?" Zhang Jicai was even more surprised: "In my hometown, people say that they often have nightmares because the house is too old. Generally, if it is re-cleaned, there will be no problem!"
Ding Li thought thoughtfully, and the three of them found a hotel to stay. When he went back the next day, he found that the room had been healed, and it had been repainted with snow-white paint to look brand new.
Then the school administrator said that when they were cleaning up the house, they found a nest of little mice in the house. Their hair had not even grown yet and they looked snow-white. Wang Kefan asked: "Where are those little mice?"….
"They were all boiled to death by pouring a pot of boiling water on them!"
It seems that this nightmare is indeed caused by rats. Although rats are not as evil as weasels, they are not easy to mess with. Some of them have indeed become the climate.
That night, the three of them slept in the new dormitory and slept soundly. However, in the middle of the night, Ding Li was awakened by a panicked scream.
As soon as he woke up, he saw a green light the size of a mung bean facing him. For just a moment, Ding Li felt unable to move his whole body, not even his little finger.
Only then did Ding Li realize that the green light was the mouse's eyes, coming for revenge. If he were an ordinary person, he would have fallen into the nightmare by now and could not break free.
Ding Li was just caught off guard. Such a little mouse couldn't deal with Ding Li. Ding immediately focused on his breathing, but a thunderous sound suddenly came from his mouth and nose between a few breaths.
A loud shout came out, which was Ding Li's loud shout that stirred up all the blood in his body and came from his Dantian. According to people later, many people in the entire dormitory building were frightened and woke up, thinking it was thunder!
With just such a sound, the mouse's evil spell was suddenly suppressed. The green light disappeared immediately, and almost at the same time, Wang Kefan and Zhang Jicai woke up covered in sweat.
"Mom, I'm scared to death. I never dare to live in this shabby dormitory again!"
Ding Li said jokingly: "If you don't do bad things during the day, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at night. It seems you two have done too many bad things!" He turned on the light.
Wang Kefan was still saying "Fuck you", but Zhang Jicai was already shouting: "Look, look. How can there be such a big mouse?"
I saw a big rat that was one size larger than an ordinary rat, spinning around on the ground as if it was drunk. What was even more outrageous was that after a while, it actually bumped around like a headless fly with its head covered.
Ding Li laughed: "There are complaints and there are vengeances. Such a big rat can feed you a plate of wine!"
Wang Kefan bragged that they ate rats, and said that the hairless rat babies that were just born were the most nourishing. That's why Ding Li said this.
Wang Kefan looked surprised: "You mean our nightmare is caused by this little mouse?"
Zhang Jicai nodded. They also said they were obsessed with rats, but he was even more surprised: "You know how to cure these things! How did you control this rat?"
Zhang Jicai's family lived in a rural area in Shandong. It is said that there was such a thing. The family was also plagued by rats, and they were tossing around on the roof beams every night. They even had several cats but they couldn't deal with the rats.
Ding Li interjected: "That's because your cat is not raised well. My uncle's cat is amazing. Every night the mice he catches have their heads bitten off, and they are placed neatly on the bedside where my uncle sleeps.
All together!"
You must know that cats are raised in rural areas just to deal with mice. They are no better than lazy cats in the city. They will take a detour in fear when seeing mice. These cats are all good at catching mice, but they can't control the mice in this house.
