In November, Vatican went directly from summer to winter in one rain after another.
The days are getting shorter and shorter, and the days with sunshine are also scarce. When the wind blows on the bare/exposed skin, it is wet and cold, and it can always penetrate into the bones.
Half of the city is shrouded in neon lights, while the other half is submerged in darkness. Compared with the new urban area that is constantly being built and developed, the old urban area is like a dark corner where moss grows unknowingly in the rain, and is labeled as dilapidated and backward. , people have not forgotten its existence, but their eyes are skipped, and they usually don't notice it.
There was another day of heavy rain in the old city, and it finally subsided in the middle of the night. The wet and cold night wind blew through the branches of the street trees, so the rain fell down with the leaves, which seemed more and more beautiful in this cold night of silence. clear.
At the end of the old road with half of the street lights broken, two figures came.
"So—it's all Ah Wang's fault. The last order was enough to feed us for half a year, but you insisted on that ruby necklace, so you ended up starving again."
The person who spoke was a girl who looked seventeen or eighteen years old. Her shoulder-length short hair seemed to be naturally curly, and it was thin and soft to cover her scalp, like a light and floating cloud. In contrast, it was big and round Small eyes, a small nose that is not quite straight, and a slightly pursed mouth, together constitute a [-]% cute girl image.
The other woman next to her was a head taller than her, with long hair reaching her waist, an oval face, skin like porcelain, bright eyes, and amazing beauty.
However, she was chewing gum, spitting bubbles, and scratching her head while walking, showing a bit of a foolishness that didn't match her appearance.
"Ji Xiaochang, should we replay the scene of that day? It's obviously you who wants to buy the bag after getting the money."
Ji Xiaochang, a curly girl, pursed her lips even higher when she heard the words: "This is the money I earned, of course I want to use it as I want, why do you have the nerve to swipe my card to buy such expensive things when you are living on nothing. "
As soon as this remark came out, the woman called Ah Wang seemed to feel wronged, and backed down: "Then it's my fault—but didn't I give a solution?"
"What kind of solution is going to blackmail people?"
"That's not a human, it's a nine-tailed fox, okay?"
"Then you are not... a human?"
Halfway through speaking, Ji Xiaochang suddenly fell silent, focused her eyes, and looked in one direction.
Ah Wang looked up following Ji Xiaochang's gaze, and saw a thing that was undoubtedly much larger than stray cats sitting under a broken street lamp that usually only gathered stray cats.
So she also made a questioning voice: "Is it... a person?"
There is no doubt that it is indeed a person.
Neither Ah Wang nor Ji Xiaochang smelled anything non-human on the other party.
Not only that, compared to ordinary humans, the other party is much weaker, and if you want to say it, it is more like a human who is about to die.
"I'm dying." Ji Xiaochang squatted in front of this man.
"Don't worry about dying, let's go quickly." A Wang stood beside him, impatiently stomping on the fallen leaves on the ground.
"No, there is a rule in my ancestors, you can't ignore death and refuse to save her, it will hurt her merits—you see, we are the only ones who can save her here."
Saying so, Ji Xiaochang turned on the flashlight of the phone and shone it on the other party.
The one who wrapped her body tightly in an army green jacket looked like a woman. Her whole body looked like she had just been fished out of the water, as if her body was soaking water, and it was hard to tell which was wetter, the ground or her.
The light moved up, and Ji Xiaochang saw her head pillowed on a garbage bag. Because the wet black hair covered her cheeks, Ji Xiaochang reached out to touch her, but as soon as her hand reached the top of the opponent's head, she was grabbed by the wrist.
Ji Xiaochang was startled, and wanted to withdraw her hand, but found that the other party's strength was astonishing.
A thought flashed through her mind: Is the reaction speed and strength of ordinary humans really that powerful?
Thinking of this, she quickly pulled out a yellow charm from her pocket, pressed it on the forehead of the other party, and at the same time took advantage of the moment when the other party let go of her hand, she stood up and jumped to Ah Wang behind.
So frightened, she turned into Ah Wang. She first quickly assumed the posture of responding to the enemy, and then asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Xiaochang poked her head out from behind Ah Wang: "Look, is this guy a ghost?"
Ah Wang was puzzled: "No, there is no ghost spirit."
Ji Xiaochang's motionless figure on the ground: "Then why is there no movement when I press my ghost-exorcism amulet?"
Ah Wang looked at the human beings who were still breathing weakly on the ground. If it was said that the other party was breathless before, it seemed that they would die at any time now. She smelled a trace of bloody smell in the air than before, and spoke uncertainly. Said: "I think, she was fainted by your slap just now - if there is no accident, the back of her head should still be bleeding."
Ji Xiaochang: "... Is there a remedy? If I kill someone, my ancestors will come to my dream and scold me for ten years."
At some point, the rain started to fall again, and the light rain pattered on the plastic bag on the side, crackling.
Ah Wang suddenly remembered that night a year ago, a girl wearing a transparent plastic umbrella and red rain boots stepped on the puddle like a primary school student. She stood in front of him and stretched out her hand.
So that day, she ushered in a new life.
At that time, Ji Xiaochang would pick her up, was it for the same purpose?
Ah Wang glanced at the guy on the ground who didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Although it is certain that it is a human being, it is probably not an ordinary human being.
Thinking of this, she looked at Ji Xiaochang who had already stretched out her hands to carry this guy, and sighed deeply: "...Then save me."
Ah Wang and Ji Xiaochang carried the woman up to the sixth floor like a murderer on this rainy night. There was no elevator in this old-fashioned community, and the property fee was only 50 yuan a year. Therefore, the light in the corridor was broken for half a year, and no one came to fix it.
But in the current situation, it turned out to be a good thing that the light was not on. Ah Wang carried the woman upstairs into the room in the dark, and then threw her on the sofa.
Ji Xiaochang screamed: "Take it easy, what should I do if I die?"
Ah Wang's nose moved slightly, as if he was sniffing the air: "He's not dead, so this guy is definitely not an ordinary person."
When he carried it up just now, Ah Wang had already seen with certainty that the most serious wound on the opponent's body was a sharp weapon wound on the abdomen. Compared with that wound, the other scrapes and bruises could only be regarded as harmless.
Normally, such a deep wound is enough to cause an adult's internal organs to rupture and die, but the other party not only stopped the bleeding, but even began to slowly repair.
"I also don't think it's an ordinary person. Now, tell me, could it be the kind of lone killer that often appears in movies?" Ji Xiaochang squatted in front of the opponent, and gently lifted the opponent's cover again. face hair.
Protruding from under the black hair is a pale and beautiful face.
The slender eyebrows seem to be drawn gently with a thin brush. The not-so-thick but slender eyelashes are hanging under the eyelids, and water drops are still rolling down. on the lips that cannot be traced.
I don't know if it's because there is no blood, but the whole face gives people a soft and misty feeling like moonlight.
Ji Xiaochang and Ah Wang were stunned for a moment, because this face really did not match their original imagination.
How should I put it, if they had seen this face immediately downstairs, those nonsense of hesitating before saving them would have disappeared.
Ji Xiaochang stared blankly at this face for half a minute, then a mysterious blush appeared on her face, and said at the same time: "It's not good to sleep in the living room, it's very cold now, otherwise, I'd better go My room."
Ah Wang raised his hand and patted the back of the other person's head: "Look at the problem with the face, when will it get better."
She still remembered that the other party was crazy about her in the same way.
So the original plan to apply some wound medicine and put it in the living room to let the other party live or die has undergone a 180-degree change. Ji Xiaochang is gearing up and even plans to take a hot bath for the other party first.
After saying this plan, she was hit on the back of the head again: "Such a big wound, you put it in hot water, you want her to die early, just tell me."
Ah Wang hates iron and iron to move out a basin of hot water from the bathroom, but as soon as he came out of the bathroom, he saw Ji Xiaochang picking up his clothes.
She had no choice but to rush forward with a headache and stop Ji Xiaochang's behavior...
After working noisy and busy for half the night, I finally settled down.
Since the house only has two bedrooms and one living room, the last person slept in Ji Xiaochang's room, and Ji Xiaochang and Ah Wang went to squeeze in for the night.
Ji Xiaochang was very unconvinced by this, and was still muttering until she fell asleep.
"She fell asleep alone, and when she woke up, she was afraid of what to do."
"I don't think she's scared."
"Although it looks unusual, it's just an ordinary human being."
"How do you know it's an ordinary human being, you half-baked warlock."
"I'm not half-baked. That person doesn't have a magic imprint on him, you can see it too. Without a magic imprint, he can't be a person like us."
"Spell imprint is something that has emerged in the past few hundred years, you little brat."
The two kept bickering until at a certain moment, Ah Wang didn't get a response to what she said. She turned her head and saw that Ji Xiaochang had fallen asleep.
The slightly curly hair was scattered on the pillow, and the quilt was pulled to the mouth, revealing the round and reddish nose.
Although the ID card shows that he is an adult, but just looking at his appearance, Ah Wang is very suspicious that the other party's age has been falsified - after all, the other party is a senior fake/certificate dealer.
"Little kid." She said that again, but looked at the wall next to the next room, frowning slightly.
The light rain outside the window stopped again, leaving only the night wind beating against the window rustling.
In the next room, Luo Qingtan opened his eyes.
She turned her neck slightly, looked around the strange room in the darkness, and let out a long sigh of relief——
Great, it's a new world.
The days are getting shorter and shorter, and the days with sunshine are also scarce. When the wind blows on the bare/exposed skin, it is wet and cold, and it can always penetrate into the bones.
Half of the city is shrouded in neon lights, while the other half is submerged in darkness.
