pretend to be poor

As expected, Tong Jingyuan didn't rush back, and transferred the account with a string of zeros at the beginning of one and seven to Tong Huai, wishing him happy birthday again and expressing guilt.

Tong Huai only discovered the news when he got off the bus.

He even wanted to use the money to exchange Tong Jingyuan for a meal with him when he came back, but he also knew that Tong Jingyuan really couldn't get away.

A few days ago, Tong Jingyuan also said that he could come back some time, but he had something to do at the last moment, and he planned to come back directly regardless, but was persuaded by Tong Huai.

Understanding belongs to understanding, and depression is really depressed.

Tong Jingyuan didn't come back for two consecutive years.

So Tong Huai sent a very unhappy emoji carrying a knife.

-Not curly and straight: If you record me a small video of pleading guilty with folded hands, I will forgive you.

After sending the message as if venting his anger, Tong Huai put away his phone.

Xue Ting came down after him, noticing that he was in a bad mood, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"My dad transferred it to me..." Tong Huai slammed on the brakes and held back, "17 yuan, wish me a happy birthday."

Yu Wen was originally walking beside him, but when he heard this sentence, he split his feet, his shoulders shook, and he tried his best to hold back his laughter under Tong Huai's horrified eyes.

God damn 17 yuan.

Tong Huai was in a low mood, but he didn't intend to disappoint.

In the end, there were seven people who raised their hands to sign up to play the escape room. The others scattered to the video game city and shopping malls, agreed on a time and place to gather, and dispersed.

Everyone followed Yu Wen who was in charge of making appointments, buying snacks and milk tea along the way, laughing and joking.

There are people coming and going around, and a group of teenagers in blue and white school uniforms are projected on the clear glass wall, like strands of summer wind passing by.

The shop that Yu Wen made an appointment for was not big, and the decoration was very eerie to suit the atmosphere. Ghost masks were hung on the wall, and the staff also wore costumes of different eras and styles.

The script they reserved was written on a wooden sign, the words were seeping red, faintly smeared like blood, and stood aside.

Song Ying, the young master of a wealthy family in Qinghe Town, married a beautiful foreign wife named Min Hong.

Not long after Minhong became pregnant, a strange disease appeared in the town, and the doctors were helpless, so the helpless townspeople had to go to the witch.After the sorceress prayed to the sky, she pointed in the direction of the Song Mansion.

Then a voice appeared in the town, saying that the strange disease was caused by Min Hong and the child in Min Hong's belly. She was pregnant with a catastrophe, and the strange disease would disappear only if she apologized and killed her and the child.

Under the persecution of the townspeople, Song Ying's father, Song Zhijin, did not hesitate much, and took Min Hong to the woodshed, where she was tortured in every possible way.However, Song Ying, the husband whom she pinned her hopes on, has never been to see her, and has even re-appointed relatives outside, so that she can enter after Minhong's death.

Min Hong was beaten into a trick and died of hatred. Her body was burned in a fire.

The strange disease in the town disappeared, everyone clapped their hands and applauded, and sure enough, they did not kill the wrong person.

However, after a while, strange things began to happen in the Song Mansion.

Min Hong is back.

The script is bad and vulgar, and it implements the domestic horror style.

Tong Huai panicked, and shrank to Xue Ting's side, suppressing the trembling in his voice: "Don't be afraid! I'll cover you!"

Xue Ting: "...um."

The staff counted the number of people and began to read out the precautions: "It is forbidden to carry lighting equipment, do not shoot at NPCs, and do not destroy props..."

When Tong Huai heard the first sentence, he was in a bad mood.

But face does not allow him to back down.

Anyway, Xue Ting was also afraid, so he followed Xue Ting, and the two of them were trembling with fright, embarrassing each other.

After talking about the precautions, the staff asked everyone to draw their identities.

Yu Wen was the first to draw, and glanced at the sign: "Jia Ding."

"I am a witch."

"..."

Everyone was talking about their identities, but Yu Wen realized that two things were missing: "Huai Zai, what is your identity?"

Tong Huai's expression was dull, and his lips moved: "...Song Ying." Then he tightened Xue Ting's sleeves, "What about you?"

Xue Ting: "Your father."

Seeing that Tong Huai frowned and raised his hand to hit someone, he picked up his ID card and motioned him to look.

Song Zhijin, Song Ying's father.

Tong Huai: "..."

Had a bad time.

It was almost time to go in, Tong Huai pushed Yu Wen to the front of the crowd: "You lead the way, I will be the queen."

After speaking, he took a deep breath, hid behind the crowd, and did not forget to pull Xue Ting's sleeves and patted his chest: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

After entering the door, the eyes suddenly darkened, and the door behind him creaked and slammed shut.

A strange BGM was playing from a stereo somewhere, and everyone was covered in hair, and immediately clung to each other.

Yu Wen was bold enough to open the way first, and even dared to joke: "Don't get so close, what if the people around you are not human."

Lin Tanya was startled, and Lu Ziran quickly comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid."

Zhao Gou was also trembling by his words, carefully looked at the people around him, and he was sure it was Chen Yuan, so he hugged him tightly: "School bully, please shut up."

Xue Ting grabbed Tong Huai who was quietly away, and asked blankly, "Are you not a human or am I not?"

"You." Tong Huai got used to the darkness, saw that Xue Ting was right, and replied modestly.

A few people groped forward and walked through a small path. There was a big house not far in front, and there seemed to be a person standing in front of the house.

Tong Huai's scalp went numb, and he hugged Xue Ting's arm suddenly: "Don't be afraid!"

Xue Ting: "..."

Xue Ting dragged his tail, ignoring his resistance, and stepped forward immediately.

That was really a person, wearing a red wedding gown, his face was pale, his cheeks were smeared with two blushes, when he saw the two people approaching, his eyes without pupils were aimed at them.

This is probably Min Hong.

Seeing that Minhong didn't intend to move, the others held their breath, carefully walked around her, stepped forward and pushed the door of the Song Mansion, but it couldn't be pushed.

It seems to be a trigger mechanism.

Tong Huai's teeth chattered: "Are you my wife?"

A faint sigh sounded suddenly.

Min Hong stared at Tong Huai, and said sadly: "Aying, you were the one who hugged me in front of this mansion back then, in front of everyone. You said that you would love me forever..."

Tong Huai's mind went blank for a few seconds, let go of Xue Ting, and pretended to be calm: "What did she say?"

"Son," Xue Ting patted him on the shoulder with sympathy, "Your wife wants you to carry her in."

Tong Huai: "..."

In the script, everyone has a different identity, and according to the clues, they will be assigned individual tasks and team tasks.

Obviously, this is Tong Huai's personal mission.

Yu Wen clasped his hands to watch the excitement, and booed: "Come on, Huai Zai!"

Tong Huai stepped forward bravely, saw Min's red and pale face clearly through the weak light, and felt even more creepy, and smiled dryly: "Daughter-in-law, you won't scare me at this time, right?"

Min Hong was still staring at him.

Under the eyes of everyone, Tong Huai refused to show cowardice. He gritted his teeth and was about to pick up Min Hong when Xue Ting suddenly said, "It looks a bit heavy. You can't carry it alone. Let's go together."

Min Hong: "..."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Min Hong's murderous eyes seemed to turn to Xue Ting.

Tong Huai was also taken aback.

Xue Ting's tone was light: "There is a time limit, don't waste time, let's go."

"……Oh."

It's not so scary to have multiple people, Tong Huai carried Min Hong with him, and walked towards the Song Mansion.

As soon as he walked to the gate, the door, which was still motionless just now, opened slowly and automatically.

Yu Wen led the others to follow, and probed into the Song Mansion to look around for clues.

Tong Huai was not that stupid, so he deliberately slowed down a few steps, and when he reached the end, he grabbed Xue Ting and whispered, "Aren't you afraid?"

Xue Ting didn't speak.

Tong Huai belatedly remembered that on the bus before, Xue Ting looked at him before saying he was afraid.

Did you say that because you noticed that his expression was wrong?

He was a little confused, like a pool of lake water was constantly rippling when Xue Ting threw stones.

Xue Ting is always too considerate in some places.

But soon, Tong Huai didn't have the heart to think about it—Min Hong asked Song Ying to go to the firewood room where she was imprisoned before her death.

On the surface, Tong Huai remained calm, but in his heart, he waved his hand in a general-like manner before leaving, telling everyone not to be afraid.

Zhao Gou had already been frightened several times, and clapped his hands hoarsely: "Brother Tong is amazing! You are not shy at all, you are indeed my brother Tong!"

Xue Ting couldn't help but laugh, looking at Tong Huai's back, he vividly saw the tragedy of a strong man who will never return.

The firewood room is a bit far from the lobby where everyone stays, and the surroundings are quiet, only the sound of footsteps and the sound of dripping water can be heard from nowhere.

The environment was too dark, Tong Huai walked with one foot shallow and one foot shallow, praying to God and worshiping Buddha in his heart, halfway through, Min Hong still appeared.

She was lying behind a wall, tilting her head, revealing half of her face, staring at Tong Huai without blinking, with a terrible burn on her face.

Tong Huai stared at her stiffly for a moment, then said slowly, "I'll do it."

Min Hong gave him a sinister smile, and before she could do anything, she saw Tong Huai leaping up and rushing into the firewood room like a small cannonball, unable to catch up.

Min Hong: "..."

The door of the firewood room closed automatically, and the depths of the room were pitch black, and it was unknown what was inside.

Tong Huai didn't dare to go over, his legs slid weakly and sat on the ground, layers of cold sweat broke out on his back.

After squatting for a while, he didn't hear the sound again, and stood up carefully holding the door.

I met face to face with Miss Min Hong, whose face was stuck on the hollowed-out wooden window.

Tong Huai: "...Ahhhh!"

He pressed against the door and squatted down, tears were about to come out: "Xue Ting!!!"

I don't know how long it took, Tong Huai's beating heart calmed down a lot, and he heard a light knock on the door.

A familiar voice came from outside: "Open the door."

Tong Huai raised his head little by little, confirmed that it was really Xue Ting outside the door, sat down and opened the door, pursing his lips and not saying a word.

Xue Ting also sat down and squinted at him, noticing that his eye circles were red.

Scared the kids so much.

"Don't be afraid," Xue Ting hesitated, stretched out his hand and gently hugged him into his arms, with a calm voice, "It's all fake."

Tong Huai didn't back away either, sniffing, feeling extremely wronged: "Just now my wife came to scare me."

Being so close, Xue Ting could clearly feel the body in his arms trembling slightly. After a moment of silence, he exerted a little force: "Don't be afraid, if she comes again, I will block it for you."

Tong Huai's voice was hoarse: "Yes."

"Why don't you tell others if you're so afraid?" Xue Ting couldn't understand at all.

"What a shame," Tong Huai wiped the corners of his eyes, "it's a disappointment."

Xue Ting thought it was funny: "Isn't it shameful to be so scared?"

"Just throw it in front of you, you are not a human being."

"..."

Short of a few sentences, the dedicated Min Hong is scary again.

clatter.clatter.clatter.

The sound of long footsteps came from the depths of the dark room, one after another, as if coming from hell, Min Hong's figure appeared in the darkness, calling softly: "Aying..."

Xue Ting decisively pushed Tong Huai's head into his arms, and looked back at this pretending NPC with a flat expression.

Tong Huai was so frightened that he squealed and yelled, desperately crawling into Xue Ting's arms, wishing he could stuff himself into his body.

Maybe it was because of being overly nervous, but instead he noticed something he shouldn't have noticed, such as Xue Ting's strong heartbeat.

bang-bang-

It rang in his ears, as he showed, without any confusion.

The summer clothes are light and thin, and they hug each other tightly, sharing each other's body temperature and heartbeat.

After a long time, Tong Huai couldn't help raising his head slightly, and Xue Ting's smooth and superior jaw line and prominent Adam's apple were in his sight.

Xue Ting's arms are not as wide as Tong Jingyuan's, but they are equally firm and powerful.

There is a sense of security that is hard to describe in words, as if being hugged by him, you will not be afraid of anything.

Under the shroud of this sense of security, Tong Huai felt better, embarrassed to shrink into Xue Ting's arms, and asked in a low voice: "Look, is my wife still there?"

Tsk, I want to run after using it.

Xue Ting was very upset, raised his eyebrows, glanced at the empty front, and replied: "It's still there."

Thinking of Min Hong's gloomy face, Tong Huai trembled, and immediately retracted into Xue Ting's arms, resting his head on his neck, and said sullenly: "...Then give me a hug for a while."

The warm breath sprayed on the neck, and the soft hair rubbed against the chin.

A little itchy, like hugging a shivering and coquettish little animal.

Xue Ting's eyes flickered with sporadic evil smiles, his chin inadvertently rubbed against the top of his head, and he replied quietly: "En."
