Chapter 4 Shadow

Kata Kata, Kata Kata...

Gu Chen was wearing a long black robe and was digging the ground with a hoe in the woods.The moonlight pierced through the dense leaves, and beams of foggy light shone on him.He stopped, jumped into the hole, rolled up his sleeves, and bent over to dig the dirt in the hole.

The horror of the silent forest, with sound, without sound, with sound, without sound... Gu Chen suddenly stood up, raised his right hand, a skull, facial features and bone holes facing the moonlight.Gu Chen chanted softly: "When the main road changes, everyone corrects his life; if he protects harmony, he is Lizhen."

Around the newly built forest park, a residential property shouted a horn to remind: "Close the doors and windows to prevent fire and theft. Close the doors and windows to prevent fire and theft."

The supper stalls outside the community are in full swing.Just after midnight, those who came home from overtime, those who invited friends, and those who were hungry, all gathered under the big tent to eat, drink and brag.

An old man passed away in the community. For a while, there has been mourning.

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came out of the drugstore with his buttocks between his legs.The smell of barbecue under the tent made him salivate uncontrollably.Walking into the community, the entrance of the building next door was playing dirge music. A while ago, it was an old man, but these days it was an old woman. The old couple, one after another, the music one after another, was frightened and irritable.

Swipe the magnetic card to open the anti-theft door on the first floor, and the property manager followed the middle-aged man into the elevator.The property manager was an old man, and he looked down at the middle-aged man's feet.The middle-aged man was stared at uncomfortably. He glanced sideways at the old man, then smiled again: "Master, what's the matter?"

The old man also smiled: "Young man, I just got off work. Get busy, it's all over now."

The middle-aged man nodded.

After waiting for a long time, the elevator door opened.The middle-aged man stepped out, found that he was still on the first floor, stepped back, and pressed the elevator button awkwardly.He asked: "Master, you are patrolling the building. Which floor are you on?"

The old man smiled and looked at the middle-aged man: "I'm on the same floor as you."

The middle-aged man turned his head and looked at the elevator door.The old man's face made him sweat all over.

When the elevator door was about to close, a hand reached into the elevator: "Wait, wait..."

The elevator door opened, and a middle-aged woman came in with a boy and a girl.It's a family, mother, sister, brother.Half a cucumber in each hand.

Middle-aged men have seen them a few times.Two floors and three households, his family lives opposite to theirs, the middle household has moved, and the house is being resold.When the middle-aged man took the elevator, he heard a well-informed person tell about what happened in that family a while ago. They said that the four-year-old child was playing at home while the adults were cooking in the kitchen. The window of the net, accidentally fell, died, and killed a passerby.

The woman took a bite of the cucumber: "If you don't listen to what you say, what's so good about it."

The girl chewed the cucumber, her voice intermittent: "It's my brother who said it...not me...you always talk about me."

The woman mouthed a cucumber, and said vaguely: "You are a sister, and you still take your brother out at such a late hour, I won't say who you are talking about."

The girl hummed twice.

The boy spat out a mouthful of cucumber water: "I told you to buy it but you didn't buy it, I just like it, I just like it."

The woman reached out and patted the boy's head: "You little bastard, dare to waste food, swallow it back for me, hurry up."

The boy raised his head and sprayed the woman with cucumber water. After spraying, he laughed at his mother with his sister.

The middle-aged man moved forward, trying to stay away from these three psychopaths, looked up, the elevator number was still slowly climbing up, it was hard, irritated, married and had children, what good is it.

The woman stared and raised her hand, the old man smiled: "These two dolls are so cute."

The woman closed her hands, turned her head to look behind her, paused, raised her head and complained to the middle-aged man: "Ah, cute, but not sensible. Being a parent is not easy, beating is neither scolding nor scolding."

The middle-aged man is inexplicable.The woman said again: "Are you just off work?"

The middle-aged man ignored the woman and looked at the old man reflected on the elevator door. The old man stood in the corner and looked down at the two children. The two children stared at their mother and at the old man. Their two heads moved around. , as soon as the elevator door opened, he ran out.The two families went home separately, and the old man walked out of the elevator door.

After the middle-aged man entered the door, he changed his shoes and took off his clothes. He lay down on the sofa in a pair of big underpants, and said, "Ouch, Ouch."

The black shadow on the ground shrank into a ball, like a black fish, swimming around in the room.

The middle-aged man turned his head to look at the shadow, "Honey, I'm not feeling well with your husband, come and take care of me!"

The shadow swam to the side of the middle-aged man, upstream, onto the sofa, and onto the man's back, pressed against it, and turned into a human form, naked, with a delicate voice: "Honey, you did it on purpose, you don't love me anymore."

The middle-aged man turned his head, kissed Shadow's face, frowned and said: "Your husband, why don't I love you anymore, hemorrhoids, it hurts like hell. I will love you well in two days, don't be angry."

The shadow turns into a human form, white and tender, delicate and dissatisfied, the only drawback is that it has no facial features, but middle-aged men don't mind, as long as it can satisfy them.

He had previously talked to a girlfriend of ten years.His girlfriend is ten years younger than him, cute and delicate, and clingy.He especially likes this kind of woman who has just grown up, has never seen the world, knows nothing, and only knows to rely on men.He felt that he had found a treasure, a complete little fool.The little fool fell out with her parents because of him. She said that she only knew him in her life, and only with him, and she couldn't do without him.He doesn't want to get married, he wants to fall in love for the rest of his life.My girlfriend said that she didn't want to get married either, and wanted to be in a lifetime relationship.Later, after a few years, the little fool did not turn into a big fool. She said she wanted to get married, she said she was pregnant, and she said that she couldn't get it out, and if she got it out again, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to conceive in the future.Apart from work, a middle-aged man is a dead house in his life. Apart from watching movies and playing games to find a girlfriend, he knows nothing and has never thought about anything. His parents have never cared about his age. How is it possible to get married.The girlfriend couldn't wait for the middle-aged man's answer, so she went back to her mother's house with a three-month-old belly. In the end, the middle-aged man chased after her. He said he loved her, he said he wanted to marry her, and he said he wanted to give her a complete life. s home.The girlfriend agreed, and at the same time, the middle-aged man also took care of the girlfriend's family.Later, without knowing why, the day before the wedding, the girlfriend suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The girlfriend's family reported the case and returned the gift money to the middle-aged man, saying they were sorry for him.The middle-aged man did not take back the gift money. He said he loved their daughter and he would always wait for her.After so many years, the police have been looking for it, but they have never found it.The middle-aged man takes good care of his girlfriend's family, and will visit them with gifts during the holidays, although he has nothing to say to them.Every time the girlfriend's family met, they tried to persuade him: "We are not blind as old people, we can see it. We know that you like our children, you have a good relationship, we know, but she has been gone for so many years, you don't think about it for yourself. , also think about the old man, you are not young, you have been so single all the time, how can you make us feel sorry for it. "

The middle-aged man said the same thing every time: "I can't let her go."

As soon as you leave, make an appointment with various software calls.He doesn't want to get married, he's happy now.

Some time ago, I also met the shadow.That time when he came home from overtime work, he collapsed on the sofa to sleep in a daze.The living room was dimly lit with the lights on.The shadow under him was moving, being dragged out of the sofa bit by bit by another shadow, swallowing it silently.He has no idea.In the middle of the night, the middle-aged man was awakened by the sound of water in the bathroom. He thought he was dreaming. Listen carefully, it was his own bathroom, and there was a faint cry in the sound of water.He got up, picked up the small lamp on the low table beside the sofa, approached the bathroom door, and said nervously and loudly: "Who is in, come out."

The sound of crying and water stopped at the same time.The middle-aged man pushed the bathroom door to the right, "Who the hell is this? Don't play tricks."

After the door opened, a naked woman turned her back to the middle-aged man.The water droplets on the woman's body are crystal clear, rolling down, drawing a picture of rolling hills.The middle-aged man's Adam's apple twitched.The woman cried and apologized: "I was wrong, I was wrong."

The middle-aged man's Adam's apple moved again, and stammered: "It's just a bathroom, it's okay."

The woman is still crying.The middle-aged man put down the lamp and approached the woman, "Don't cry, it's okay, I don't blame you."

The middle-aged man touched the woman's shoulder with both hands, and the woman stopped, bowed her head, and stopped crying.The middle-aged man hugged the woman from the bathroom to the bed.The woman's hair covered her face from head to toe, and the middle-aged man only looked down.

The woman is nowhere to be seen during the day, only appearing at night.Middle-aged men especially like her, she is unrestrained and straightforward, with good skills.After a few nights of ecstasy, the woman told the middle-aged man that she was a shadow, and she was secretly and honestly being his shadow these days, and she wanted to be his shadow for the rest of her life.The middle-aged man agreed that there would be no shadow of facial features, as long as it made him comfortable, he didn't bother to care whether she was a human, a ghost, a demon or a shadow.

Shadow got up and stepped on the middle-aged man's buttocks.The middle-aged man grabbed the shadow's ankle in pain: "It's getting more and more excessive." Gritting his teeth with cramps, he hissed: "It hurts, hurts, hurts."

Shadow kicked away the middle-aged man's hand, jumped off the sofa, found a box of hemorrhoid ointment in his suit pants, waved the ointment and said, "Honey, I'll wipe it for you."

The middle-aged man's hemorrhoids have become more and more frequent recently, and each time it hurts more and more, especially when Shadow wipes it for him.He was so nervous that he waved his hand and refused: "No, no, I can do it myself."

Shadow didn't care, threw away the paper box, opened the hemorrhoid ointment, took half of it in one hand, and said with a smile, "I'll help you."

Ye Qiao sat on the tree and leaned against it to sleep.The little old man of the mountain god sat next to Ye Qiao, watching the native animals move and human figures in this newly built forest park.

The kitten's tail was hanging on the branch, and its body was hanging in the air on a swing. "Ye Qiao, how many times have I been swinging?"

Ye Qiao ignored it, and the mountain god also pretended not to see it.

The kitten said again: "A new juice shop opened at the foot of the mountain, let's go drink it."

Ye Qiao and the mountain god regarded this foodie cat as air.

The kitten swung vigorously, causing the leaves to fall off.The kitten stretched out its small paws to grab the leaves, the branch couldn't bear the weight and broke, the kitten fell down, fluttered, the leaves under the tree flew up, and the kitten rolled.

A few passers-by in the park heard voices and said outside the woods: "There are voices, there must be animals in there."

"Probably a cat."

"The newly developed forest park may be rabbits, wild rabbits."

"Maybe it's a wild boar."

"Don't guess, go ahead, or go in and have a look?"

After several tourists discussed the results, they walked into the woods.The mountain god sighed, Ye Qiao opened his eyes, and the kitten was still rolling.Humans can't see mountain gods, and kittens can hide themselves. Ye Qiao is different from them, he has to hide himself.

Ye Qiao took the kitten down the mountain and sat on the stone bench at the entrance of the park.The trees behind the stone bench were tall and lush, and Ye Qiao stretched out his right hand to catch the dappled light and shadow under the shade.The kitten slept on the stone bench and looked at Ye Qiao's outstretched right hand, crawled over to Ye Qiao, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

At night, Gu Chen entered a unit building in the community, leaned on the roof railing and looked down.At midnight, a black figure jumped off the window sill under the guardrail, lay down, got up, went upstairs, jumped again, and the cycle went on and on.

The middle-aged man's room is next to the one where the shadow jumped.When the middle-aged man came home, there was a square cardboard box at the door with a white note on it with his name written on it.He squatted down, picked up the carton and shook it, it was a bit heavy and there was no sound.The shadow under him was moving, like ripples on the surface of the water.Curious about what was in the box, he opened the door and took it home.

Middle-aged man sits on the couch and removes carton tape.The shadow turned into a human form and laughed.The middle-aged man was laughed coldly.Shadow walked to the middle-aged man and sat down, leaning against him.

The carton is opened, and it is a square white foam box.The middle-aged man took out the foam box and shook it again, but there was still no sound. The packaging is so tight, what is it?

The shadow's hands and feet turned into black shadows, swimming around the middle-aged man's body, getting tighter and tighter.The middle-aged man panted, reminding Shadow not to make trouble.Shadow laughs.The middle-aged man opened the white foam box in the shackles, and threw it out with trembling hands.The shadow's head flew out to catch the foam box, stretched its head long, got in, came out, a skull.

Skull smiled: "Honey, look, I have five sense organs. Eyes, nose, mouth..."

The middle-aged man puffed up his mouth to vomit, but couldn't move his body.Shadow extended his hand to cover the middle-aged man's mouth, and the skull approached, "Honey, you don't know me anymore? It's me, take a closer look."

The middle-aged man closed his eyes and shook his head, his skull feeling unhappy: "Husband, I followed you, don't you remember? We have been together for ten years and have been in love for ten years. You said you want to marry me, but you said you want to marry me?" Give me and the child a home." Leaning on the man's shoulder, he whispered: "The morning before you got married, you slept with a woman in your arms, remember? I was so stupid, I didn't wake you up, and I hid outside Wait. After the woman left, I asked you to give me an explanation. If you didn’t explain, you still scolded me. You said that all men are like this, that I’m a bitch, and that marrying me is pity for me. I don’t understand, we all have The child is gone, we will get married soon, why are you sorry for me and the child? But, I am cheap and stupid, I don’t want to separate, I don’t want to leave you, I just want to be with you. You say, I have Is it wrong?"

The middle-aged man felt uncomfortable and struggled hard.

The skull said again: "Then why did you beat me, why did you beat the child, the child is only three months old, only three months old, why did you beat him, why?"

The middle-aged man couldn't speak and could only shake his head.

The voice of the skull became softer: "You are so ruthless, you killed the child, you also killed me, and disintegrated my body. My body was destroyed, my soul was scattered, I can't enter reincarnation, I can only wander in this world. I'm cheap, I'm looking for children, looking for you. You are so cruel to me, but I can't do without you. I said that I only recognize you in my life, I only follow you, and I can't do without you. My life is not over yet, I I can’t live without you, you see, I have been looking for my shadow for a long time, and finally found you, you are mine.”

The middle-aged man opened his eyes and looked at the skull timidly, hoping that she would forgive him.He wanted to tell her that he drank too much that night, he didn't do it on purpose, he didn't want to get married, he just wanted to drink, he wanted to use alcohol to numb himself, told himself, told himself that he was tied up by women in this life, and confessed .But, that was the last carnival. He wanted to find the pleasure of being single, so he found a woman and slept. He didn't know that she would come to him. He didn't scold her on purpose, he didn't beat her on purpose, no Deliberately heavy handed, not intentional.

The skull went around behind the middle-aged man: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, I love you, I want to live with you forever, in this room forever. Do you agree?"

The middle-aged man was afraid, and kept nodding in agreement.

Shadow let go of the middle-aged man.Relieved, the middle-aged man bent over and vomited as soon as he opened his mouth.Shadow stopped on the sofa, slipped in, found the location of the hemorrhoid, and used his strength.

Spit on the top, red on the bottom.The middle-aged man was in agony and shouted for help.When I entered the house, I only focused on unpacking the cardboard boxes and forgot to open the window, so the sound could not come out.The biggest selling point of this neighborhood is its quietness.The developer said that when you go out, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and when you go out, everything is quiet.It's true, when you enter the park, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant; when you return to the house, everything is silent.

Man shouting, skull shadow, laughing.

Gu Chen turned and left the roof.He used a spell to block all the images of himself entering and leaving the community from the camera, so if no one took the elevator to the highest floor, he couldn't take the elevator down.When he was going down the stairs, he met the old property manager who was going upstairs.The old man stood at the corner of the stairs, took a step back, and approached the corner.Gu Chen rubbed his forehead and asked, "You are not an earth-bound spirit, why?"

The old man was afraid: "You, you..."

Gu Chen went downstairs, passed the corner, and glanced at the cowering old man. When he left, he lost a sentence: "The end and the beginning, the sun and the moon are the same. Death and rebirth, the four seasons are also."

The old man bowed to the corridor: "Thank you. That child didn't do it on purpose, I will walk on it for him. Rebirth after death, reincarnation, reincarnation, leave it to that child. That child is very cute."

Ye Qiao and the kitten sat on the stone bench for a long time, from day to night.When preparing to go up the mountain, the kitten pestered Ye Qiao to buy juice from the newly opened juice shop.Ye Qiao said that there was no money, and the kitten took out a few coins that were left over from the last time it was stolen.The juice shop is next to the supper stand, business is booming, and a new store has opened, buy a cup and get a free one.Ye Qiao was holding two glasses of juice, and the kitten clamored to drink it.The owner of the supper stall is calling customers with kebabs.The kitten clamored to eat skewers again, Ye Qiao shook his head.

The little cat said: "Ah, it smells so good, it must be delicious."

Ye Qiao asked, "Do you still drink the juice?"

"All."

"No money, let's go."

"Ask the mountain god for it, and take it if you don't give it."

Ye Qiao glared at the kitten.

The men and women eating skewers at the supper stand saw Ye Qiao staring at the ground while holding the juice and talking, but unfortunately, he was so handsome and neurotic.

The kitten disappeared again, "Then you go to find a job, and if you find a job, you will have money."

"Looking for a job? No money." Gu Chen suddenly appeared, took away a glass of juice, lifted the lid, and drank it all in one gulp, "It's delicious."

Seeing the juice being taken away, the kitten was so angry that it opened its paws to scratch Gu Chen's calf. Gu Chen kicked the kitten away.

Gu Chen took out some red bills, "I have money, I treat you to supper, do you want to go?"

The kitten looked at Ye Qiao, then at Gu Chen, and meowed.

Gu Chen looked at Ye Qiao: "After drinking your juice, I'll treat you to supper."

Ye Qiao frowned: "No need."

The kitten was so angry that it barked its teeth and claws, why didn't it eat, why didn't it eat.

Gu Chen smiled: "You have my business card. If you want to know who I am, you can find me there. If you want to find a job, that place is recruiting people. I am welcome anytime."

After finishing speaking, he left behind a figure who thought he was handsome, and left.

The men and women at the supper stand were curious about the man who came and went.This man is quite handsome, but he just dresses up, which makes people feel that he is not a normal person.On a hot day, with long and messy hair, and wearing crumpled long-sleeved trousers, the sleeves are rolled up to the elbows, and one trouser leg is rolled up to the knee. After walking a few steps, he bent his leg and rubbed the other leg’s trouser leg, as if showing The lower leg that came was bitten by a mosquito, and it was very itchy.He was still holding the money just now, showing off to the ground.Ah, neurosis.
