Tried to trick me into raising a cat again

The two walked back while talking. The Xiuping Road section was still under construction, and two street lights on the side of the road were broken, but no one came to fix them.

"I have a friend who might come to dinner tomorrow, and I will introduce you to each other then," Qu Yanning said to Xue Li with a sideways face.

Xue Li looked a little embarrassed, "Is it okay, I don't know him either."

Qu Yanning said with a smile, "You'll recognize him after eating, he's very nice."

Xue Li nodded hesitantly, and said that I will help you cook tomorrow.

The two walked forward talking and laughing. They didn't notice the peeping eyes in the alley behind them at all, but the funny face lying in the pocket rubbing his stomach seemed to have noticed something. The angle is restricted, and I can't see anything.

It retracted into the pocket, lay down again, and continued to rub the belly,

Xiuping Road is remote, and construction is always going on nearby. There are not many people walking this way, only occasionally sporadic passers-by.

Qu Yanning's eyes inadvertently saw the shadow on the ground, his voice paused, and then he continued to talk as if nothing had happened, winking at Xue Li while talking.

Xue Li was stunned for a long time before he realized what he meant, and instinctively wanted to turn around to look but was stopped by Qu Yanning in a low voice.

While continuing to chat with him about what to cook tomorrow, Qu Yanning took out her mobile phone and typed quickly.

[Someone is following us, don't look back, run together. ]

Xue Li glanced back. The man was very close, and the shadow cast by the street lamp behind them had already reached their feet.

Qu Yanning made a one-two-three mouth shape, and then quickly ran out with the bag in hand.

The figure following behind raised his head, his jagged teeth could be seen faintly red under the dim yellow streetlights, he let out an angry roar, moved his body, and quickly stopped in front of Qu Yanning and the others.

Qu Yanning hurriedly stopped, stretched out his hand to block Xue Li behind him, and stepped back carefully.

The figure approached step by step, with saliva dripping down from his open mouth. He was short in stature, only 1.4 meters five, and he was wearing uncoordinated children's clothing.His face was extremely old, and there was a thick scab on his head, only a few sparse strands of hair fluttering around in a mess.

It doesn't look like a human, but like a monster in a biochemical movie.

The monster's eyes glowed faintly, its body was hunched over, and it was slowly approaching Qu Yanning while drooling.

"Xue Li, go to the police, I'll stop him." Qu Yanning dropped the shopping bag in his hand, and whispered to Xue Li.

"Brother Qu, what is this?" Xue Li was also afraid, and his voice trembled a little.

Qu Yanning swallowed nervously, subconsciously clenched the amulet around his neck, and said that he didn't know, "There is a sentry post in the supermarket, you run quickly to call for someone, I will stop him."

The monster on the opposite side was less than three meters away from them. Its squinted eyes were greedily staring at Qu Yanning, but it didn't pounce on it for a long time.

"Then be careful." Xue Li gritted his teeth, turned around and ran back desperately. When he moved, the monster rushed up.

Qu Yanning picked up the shopping bag on the ground and threw it at the monster's face with all his strength. The monster's head was tilted by him, and dark red blood flowed from its flat nose.

The monster was stunned, bared its teeth angrily and roared, and rushed towards Qu Yanning at a faster speed.

Qu Yanning couldn't dodge in time, a cut was made on his shoulder by the monster's sharp claws, he shook in pain, tore off the peace amulet around his neck, and held it tightly in his hand.The blood from the wound flowed down the arm and soaked the peace amulet,

The monster was panting loudly, and the saliva that flowed out was stained red. Qu Yanning gritted his teeth, staring at the monster's movements, and calculating the direction of escape in his mind.

As long as it can be delayed until Xue Li calls for someone to come.

The monster roared and rushed forward again. Qu Yanning held the talisman tightly and pressed it on the monster's head, but at the same time, he was pushed to the ground by the monster.

The talisman spontaneously ignited without fire, burning the monster's skin, and the air was filled with a stench of burnt flesh. The monster opened its mouth wide and let out a painful roar, but its two sharp claws clasped Qu Yanning's shoulder firmly .

Qu Yanning exhausted all his breastfeeding strength, but he couldn't push the monster away. Instead, the power of the talisman paper began to weaken, and the monster whose face was half burnt opened its mouth fiercely and bit down on Qu Yanning's neck——

Qu Yanning closed his eyes subconsciously, and the funny face that had just struggled out of his pocket couldn't move his eyes. He widened his eyes angrily, jumped up and slammed into the monster's head fiercely.

The bone made a crisp sound, and the monster tilted its head by it, twisted its neck and looked at the funny in horror, and kept making loud noises from its mouth.

Qu Yanning took the opportunity to get up with a grunt, grabbed the funny face and ran forward desperately. The monster returned its misplaced neck and chased after it in the blink of an eye.

Qu Yanning didn't dare to look back, but the loud sound behind him who was getting closer and closer knew that the monster was not far away from him, so he could only pray in his heart that Xue Li would come back soon.

"It's right there!" Xue Li's anxious voice came from not far away, Qu Yanning lifted it up in one breath, and his exhausted body tried to speed up again.

The monster chasing behind paused, roared viciously, covered its face and hid in the alley.

Xue Li rushed over with the police, Qu Yanning's legs were weak, he staggered a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.

Xue Li supported him in time, one of Qu Yanning's sleeves was already stained red with blood, and his hands were covered with dried and coagulated blood.

"Brother Qu, bear with me if it's okay, I'll call an ambulance." Xue Li let him lean on his body, crying anxiously.

The police who followed called an ambulance, and others went to cordon off the scene.

Xie Qi, who was a step late, shrank his pupils, stepped forward and picked him up, "I'll take him to the hospital first."

Xue Li hurriedly grabbed him, "The ambulance is coming soon,"

Xie Qi threw him away with a sullen face, turned around and walked directly into an alley with the man in his arms. When Xue Li chased him, there was no one in the alley.

The policeman who followed him patted him on the shoulder and asked him to go to the bureau to make a statement. Xue Li wiped away his tears, picked up the paper figurine that Qu Yanning had dropped on the ground, and put it in his pocket.

-

Qu Yanning had passed out, and Xie Qi rushed to the hospital with him in his arms.

On the way here, Zhang Ren had already arranged for an emergency. Xie Qi handed him over to the doctor with a sullen face, his eyes fixed on Qu Yanning's pale face.

After receiving the news, Chu Zhou, who rushed over with Zhang Ren first, asked, "What happened?"

"It was my negligence." Xie Qi's face was ugly, and his voice was a little hoarse.

The lights in the emergency room came on, Xie Qi pursed his lips, regretting that he had agreed to let Qu Yanning come back alone.

The three of them waited quietly, time passed slowly, and when the door of the operating room opened, the three of them were refreshed.

The doctor took off the mask, "It's nothing serious, but the wound is a little deep. The artery was injured and caused excessive blood loss. Coupled with the excessive mental stress, it was shock. After the blood transfusion, the patient should pay attention to rest."

Xie Qi said yes in a hoarse voice, and went to the ward with the nurse.

Qu Yanning's face was still pale, his eyes moved restlessly, but he still didn't wake up. The nurse hung up the bottle for him, and instructed: "Call someone early if it's free, and the patient should wake up after the blood transfusion."

Xie Qi said thank you, and stood by the bed without moving.

Zhang Ren and Chu Zhou went to the hospital for procedures, leaving space for the two of them.

"Sorry, I'm late." Xie Qi lightly touched Qu Yanning's brow, and smoothed out the wrinkles between his brows.

The unconscious person did not respond, Xie Qi could only watch him silently,

After transfusing a bag of blood, Qu Yanning woke up groggy. He subconsciously moved his arm to rub his eyes, but Xie Qi gently held it down, "Don't move, you are hurt."

Only then did Qu Yanning realize that he had just fought against monsters. He looked at the ward, "Why are you here, where is Xue Li?"

Xie Qi reluctantly said that people should take notes at the police station.

"There is also a funny face. He ran out after me. I remember holding him when I ran."

Xie Qi said that it might have found a place to hide by itself, and it could find its way back.

Only then did Qu Yanning feel relieved, relaxed, and told him about the monster he had encountered.

After listening to his speech, Xie Qi poured a glass of warm water, patted his head, and said warmly, "Drink some water first."

Qu Yanning drank half a glass with his hand, then shook his head, indicating that he would not drink anymore.

"What does that monster look like, do you remember?" Xie Qi rolled up the hospital bed, put a pillow on his back, and asked warmly.

Qu Yanning said he remembered, and described the monster's appearance to him, and finally said uncertainly, "Is this a human or a ghost?"

If it's a ghost, Xue Li can see it anyway, but if it's a human, except that the monster looks like a human, other parts of the monster can't be seen to resemble a human at all.

Xie Qi lowered his eyes and said lightly, "We'll know when we find it."

Qu Yanning frowned and said, "That monster is so fast that the police may not be able to catch it. If he hides around and harms people, others may not be as lucky as me."

Xie Qi patted his head, and the corner of his mouth curled up, "This is not something patients should worry about, you should take good care of your injuries during this time."

Qu Yanning wrinkled his face. He always felt that Xie Qi's attitude was a bit weird today. He chatted with Xie Qi for a while, yawned a little tiredly, and fell asleep again.

Xie Qi looked at Qu Yanning deeply for a while, then got up and went to the corridor outside to make a phone call.

When he suddenly changed his expression and ran out, Xie Yan was also there, now that he is fine, he always wants to report a letter to his family.

When Xie Yan heard that someone was injured, he was also a little worried, "Didn't you keep the amulet? Are you okay?"

"I was injured, and I have to stay in the hospital for a while," he thought of Qu Yanning's description.Squinting his eyes, he said, "That thing doesn't look like a ghost, it's more likely to be a human being. I'll take care of him in the hospital during this time, and I'll leave it to you at home."

Xie Yan was fine, but Xie Xiaobao and Xie Meili heard that Qu Yanning was injured, so they clamored to see Brother Qu.

Xie Yan patted their heads one by one, and comforted them: "Sleep first, I will take you to see Brother Qu tomorrow."

Xie Xiaobao and Xie Meili reluctantly went back to the room.

Early the next morning, Xie Yan took Xie Xiaobao and Xie Meili to visit the sick. The two cubs carefully selected the fruit basket and paid with the pocket money they had saved before letting Xie Yan take them to the ward.

Xie Qi guarded Qu Yanning all night, plus he was in a bad mood, and his complexion looked worse than that of the patient Qu Yanning.

He went to buy breakfast early in the morning and was feeding Qu Yanning with a spoon.

Qu Yanning lowered his eyes, and my cheeks felt hot, but Xie Qi insisted on feeding him, and he could only bite the bullet and accept it.

Obviously he only injured one hand, and now he always feels like he is paralyzed and unable to move.

"Are you full?" Xie Qi put down the spoon and looked at him tenderly.

Qu Yanning shook his head, said he was full, "I want to drink water."

Xie Qi put down the bowl, poured a glass of water for him to drink, wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, and then started to clear the table.

Xie Yan brought the two cubs over, put the fruit basket on the table, and asked him how he was feeling now.

Qu Yanning said that it didn't feel like a big deal, but it was not convenient to bandage his arms.

"Brother Qu," Xie Xiaobao and Xie Meili rushed to the side of the hospital bed and stopped, standing on the side looking at Qu Yanning distressedly.

"Does it hurt?" Xie Xiaobao carefully squeezed his fingers, and said to him twice in distress, "Xiaobao, I'll show you."

Qu Yanning touched the heads of the two of them with his uninjured hand, and said with a smile that it was all right, "Brother will recover soon, and I was planning to cook for you today."

Xie Meili held his hand and said slowly: "Wait, eat."

Qu Yanning smiled and said yes.

When Xie Qi came back after throwing out the garbage, he saw the two cubs talking with Qu Yanning again, he stepped forward and handed them to Xie Yan, "Let brother have a good rest."

Xie Xiaobao kicked his legs reluctantly, but he also knew that the patient must rest well in order to recover quickly, so he could only behave obediently not to quarrel with Qu Yanning.

Zhang Ren and Chu Zhou also came over. After finishing the formalities last night, it was too late, so they didn't go to quarrel with Qu Yanning, and they came again this morning.

Xue Li also came with them. Xue Li spent half the night taking notes at the police station before going back. He hurriedly asked Chu Zhou for news early in the morning. Only then did he know which hospital Qu Yanning was in, so he came with them. .

Xue Li bowed his head and walked over apologetically. Qu Yanning knew what he wanted to say by looking at his expression. He smiled and waved his hand to remind him, "If you didn't call someone in time, I would say Maybe it all went into the monster's stomach."

Xue Li bit his lip, took out a paper figurine from his pocket and handed it to Qu Yanning, "This is yours, right? You held it in your hand last night..."
