Encounter

Xia Yuming knew from Aunt Li the next day that the dead person was a woman.

He listened to his mother's advice, packed his luggage, and left behind Shen Mo, who regarded sleeping as his top priority as if he was going to sleep until the end of time, and planned to live in the school dormitory for a while.

When I met Aunt Li, Xia Yuming was coming out of the unit building, dragging her luggage to school, wearing a long down jacket, and a red cashmere scarf around her neck, tightly packed of.

In winter without sun, the air is cold and overcast. As soon as people walk in, the coldness will penetrate into the skin from all directions. In addition, the cold wind blowing at the door of the unit all year round wraps around the whole body. Xia Yuming's whole body is frozen. Only the eyeballs can move a few times flexibly.

He buried the lower half of his face in the scarf, pulled on the hat on the down jacket with one hand, bowed his head and walked forward against the wind.

When he walked to the fourth building, he felt something cold and painful on his chest, so he stopped in the unit building, pulled off the bloated clothes and pulled out a hanging chain from his neck.The hanging chain was pitch-black, and it looked different from the first time I saw it. Xia Yuming looked at it for a while, and felt that he couldn't remember what it looked like in the first place.Because the pendant was a gift from his mother, he didn't think much about it, pulled off his clothes, and hung it outside the sweater.

The material of this thing can't be seen, and it hasn't been covered with heat after hanging on the chest for so long. It's cold and uncomfortable when it sticks to the skin in winter.

When zipping up his clothes, a gust of cold wind blew over from the door of the unit, caught Xia Yuming squarely, made him shiver from the cold, his peripheral vision swept across the door of the unit, and a black figure appeared in his blurred vision.

He was startled, and reflexively looked around, only to see Aunt Li, who lived upstairs in his house, was walking slowly outside at some point, with a smile on her face and a good spirit.

"Aunt Li, are you coming to Unit [-] to look for Sister Zhao today?" Xia Yuming ran forward to say hello.

Aunt Li turned her head towards him, and took a small step back with a sound of yo, "When were you next to me, you scared me to death." She patted Xia Yuming as she said, "The old man can't help being scared, The next time you see me, don't come to my side and say hello."

"Hey." Xia Yuming smiled, opened his mouth too wide and took a breath of air-conditioning, he quickly closed it because of the cold.

Xia Yuming is handsome, sweet-mouthed and cheerful, and the aunts in the community like to chat with him.

The Aunt Li next to him is the mother of the male owner who lives upstairs. She lives here for half a year and returns to her hometown to live with her daughter for half a year.

Her son is busy with work and is rarely at home. When he is bored alone, he always finds all kinds of old ladies and old men in the community to play mahjong and gossip. All the details have been figured out.

"You know the woman who died in the second building, right? She is a mistress. She was hired by the one who was on TV a few days ago. Hey, what is her name? The boss of the Central Building in the new district is her. The gold master."

"The person just died, it's not past the first seven days, so it's not good to say... I'm a little panicked." Xia Yuming only saw a ghost yesterday morning, and now he doesn't want to talk about the dead at all.

After hearing this, Aunt Li patted Xia Yuming on the shoulder and said, "How dare you be so timid at such a young age."

Xia Yuming didn't deny it, and said with a half-truth and half-fake smile, "Isn't it? That day she jumped off the building and fell behind me. If she walked slowly, she would have fallen on me. I'm so scared, look, They all moved to school."

"Tsk tsk tsk." Aunt Li clicked a few times, and frowned deeply, "Young people nowadays, let me tell you, these are all superstitions. Your aunt and I never believe in these... ..."

When they passed by the third building, Aunt Li said with a smile, "I asked them to play cards, so I'm leaving first."

"Okay, I'm going back to school too."

After bidding farewell to Aunt Li, Xia Yuming walked towards the gate of the community. It may be a psychological effect. Passing by the place where the woman jumped off the building yesterday, he felt that it was even colder today.

There was still a large area of ​​bloodstains in that place, Xia Yuming guessed that it was because no one cleaned it yesterday, a large area of ​​dried blood was clearly printed on the road, and a large piece of dark color seeped into the light gray cement floor.

Xia Yuming walked to the front of the bloodstain, carried the box and walked around it carefully, as if he was afraid of getting the blood.

He couldn't help but think of the loud noise behind him yesterday and the blood red leaking from the crowd when he turned his head.

He regretted that his curiosity returned to his head at that time, otherwise he wouldn't be able to recall so many pictures now.

"Look at the way you walked, you were frightened that day."

After walking around the bloodstains, someone spoke to Xia Yuming behind his back.The voice was neither far nor close to him, it was very old, and it sounded very familiar.

Xia Yuming turned his head and saw Uncle Wang from the neighborhood next door who often played cards with Aunt Li standing in front of the bloodstain, talking to him with his always straight back.

"Uncle Wang, are you going to play cards?" Xia Yuming greeted Uncle Wang.

"That's right, we're getting old, we don't know any other recreational activities, that's all we love." Uncle Wang was not full of breath today, his voice was weak, and he looked less energetic than usual, he walked forward He stepped into the dark red blood and pointed in the direction of Yizhu with a smile, "We changed places today and went to your Grandpa Ding's house to fight. Sanzhu just died, so let's go there, bad luck! "

As soon as the words were finished, a wind blew up on the ground, and a leaf that was scorched by the west wind rolled around and fell to Xia Yuming's feet.

Xia Yuming somehow remembered what his mother said yesterday——

"You don't have yin and yang eyes, and you won't be able to see those things in the future."

He still remembered that when she said this, she crossed her arms with her arms folded, and her tone of voice was usual yin and yang when she spoke.

Everything around the community was withered, and it was a barren scene. Uncle Wang smiled at Xia Yuming, and the wrinkles on his whole face squirmed like earthworms burrowing in the soil, "What's wrong? I see why your face is so pale? Could it be that you were frightened?" Bar?"

Aunt Li, Uncle Wang, Uncle Boding, and Aunt Zhao are well-known regular poker friends in the community. The four of them usually go to Aunt Zhao's house in the third building to play poker. Aunt Li just entered the third building.

But here, Uncle Wang said that today he was going to play cards with Uncle Ding in the first building, because someone died in the third building.The woman who jumped from the building clearly jumped from the second building, not the third.

Also, Uncle Wang is going to a building, what are you doing in the community?If you just went the wrong way and went back, why didn't you see it all the way?

Uncle Wang took a step forward, and the blood splattered on the ground under his feet suddenly flowed alive, which was particularly dazzling under the dark gray sky.

"Aren't I freezing? It's cold, and I don't even want to stay at home." Xia Yuming watched the blood stains from Uncle Wang's feet begin to seep into his shoes, and red blood stains appeared on his shoes and trousers little by little. , is still climbing upwards.It looked very weird, like Uncle Wang was bleeding bit by bit from bottom to top.

"No, I just saw Aunt Wang complained a few words." He wanted to force a smile, but the smile didn't come out, and he took a breath of cold air and turned into shivering abruptly, the effect was very similar frozen.

"Is it so cold?" There was a lot of blood on the ground, but the blood on Uncle Wang's body had spread to his face, and even a few drops were stained on his snow-white hair. Now his whole body was red, and his face was covered in blood. Only the staring, bulging white eyeballs and the slit-like grinning mouth could be recognized on the screen, "Young man, it's not so cold today."

Xia Yuming swallowed, and tried to straighten up. I don't know whether it was cold or frightened, his back was stiff and his voice was steady, "Alright then, uncle, you go to play cards, I'll go first."

He didn't dare to run, but just tried to walk as usual with his back straightened, so as not to look too abnormal.

He walked quickly to the gate of the community, dragged the box and turned a corner, and after making sure that the "people" behind him would not see him, he ran wildly.

He ran all the way to the station before he calmed down panting.

He couldn't figure it out, why did he still encounter such a thing?Or is it related to Shen Mo?

In retrospect, my mother's attitude was also weird that day. Did my mother really tell the truth?

His idea was vetoed by himself at the same time. No matter the truth or lies, parents are always good for their children, so you have to trust them.

Sitting on the public seat, took out the book my mother gave me, recited a few spells on it, and sent a message to my mother after reciting, and told the story again.

There was no wind around, cars were passing by in front of the station, Xia Yuming sweated after running and sat for a long time, but he didn't feel cold, his scarf and hat were ripped off.Looking back now, the bleakness and coldness in the community today was too abnormal.

His mother replied quickly, instead of comforting or answering his question, he scolded him, saying that he was afraid of such a trivial matter, and that his sissy had no guts.

Just after reading the text message, the car came.He was in a mess, and he went up with the suitcase, and the heater rushed towards him.

After getting into the car, he realized that apart from him and the driver, there was only a couple sitting in the back seat in the whole car.

Although this car is usually not very crowded every time, but he has been riding in this car for so many years, and he has never encountered such an empty car at this point.

The hot air enveloped the entire carriage, and the surrounding windows were covered with hazy fog, and the world outside the windows was a moving fuzzy color.

This situation made Xia Yuming a little uneasy. He was carrying his luggage, turned around and was about to get out of the car. Before he could take a step, a warm hand grabbed his wrist.

With a thud in his heart, he turned his head and held his slender and pale hand. Looking up, he saw a short black down jacket that seemed familiar. On the down jacket stood a familiar beautiful face.

He didn't speak, and looked at the beautiful face looking at himself expressionlessly, and opened and closed his thin lips to say something——

"You turned off the air conditioner, and you fell asleep cold."

Shen Mo looked at him, with a little dissatisfaction in his eyes, thinking that he asked some stupid question.

Xia Yuming looked at the beautiful creature in front of him, from the smooth long black hair to the resolute brow bone to the thin lips drooping slightly due to awkwardness.

Standing in front of him now is a certain creature's consciousness, and there are not many spells left.

Just by trapping this creature, the Bian family changed from a second-rate magic family to a first-rate one.

"...Is this what you are doing?"

The dangerously good-looking creature raised its delicate head and answered the question in silence.

"..." The corner of his mouth opened, and he laughed out loud.He himself didn't understand why he was laughing. In fact, there was nothing funny about it, but he couldn't help laughing when he saw Shen Mo's serious appearance for the air conditioner.Just like in the most tense moment of a horror movie, a comedy scene with an inconsistent painting style suddenly appeared. This contrast is particularly hilarious.

He giggled and laughed non-stop, and he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, he just felt that the strings in his head had been tense, as if they had suddenly lost the pull of the external force, and suddenly relaxed, leaving only a lingering sound.

"I can't get rid of you, can I?"

Shen Mo looked at him with a slightly gentle expression on his face, "You can try."

"..."

Just like that, without making any extra attempts, Xia Yuming brought this beautiful and lazy creature back to school.

However, after living in the dormitory for a week, he regretted it.

Although Xia Yuming knew that this unknown and dangerous creature called Shen Mo was very lethargic, he did not expect him to be so lethargic that he would not get out of bed for more than a week.

And even if he likes to sleep, he still has to cuddle him to sleep at night. The most terrifying thing is that he not only likes him to cuddle him to sleep, but also likes to take off his clothes and his clothes. The reason is that he prefers fabrics to fabrics. human skin.

"I said have you had enough? You are simply harassment!" Xia Yuming couldn't bear to hold the hand on his waist.

Of course he didn't feel that he was harassing, this creature just regarded him as a "pillow", but he...he had his own thoughts.After all, he is a vigorous young man, and the other person's looks suit him, and he is always so close, he is not Liu Xiahui.

"Xiao Ming is in the dormitory? I knew I had knocked on the door. If I didn't borrow the key from the housekeeper, I don't know where the key went. I lost it for several days."

Wang Xian's voice came from under the bed, and Xia Yuming watched the bed curtain being lifted before his eyes without saying anything.

Roommate Wang Xian pulled the curtain and stared at Xia Yuming's bed blankly. After two seconds, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Xiao Ming, when did you make a boyfriend, you didn't tell us. I just said how can you be a handsome guy like you?" There is no one around, so I have a boyfriend. Hey, it happens that you and your boyfriend are both here. Tomorrow will be fine. Let's play a game together tonight. I still need two people.

Have you heard of the Four Corners game?I'm going to play four corners in my bedroom today. "

The author has something to say

Xia Yuming: Although I respect biological diversity, I really hate your habit.

Shen Mo hugged Ceng without expression or a word.
