Flame red

Was it Yan Hong who called, but her grandmother.

Mu Yu thought that the old man had also come to the government, and when asked, the other party only said that the landline at home was the same number as the cell phone.

I don't know if I should believe it, but even if I don't believe it, now that my mother is here, she doesn't dare to go out casually.

So Mu Yu could only tell his grandma that he was fine now, basically recovered, and the people around him—she was referring to those bodyguards and managers, all made a fuss.

It's not a terminal illness, it's just a car accident.She muttered lightly.

There were two peaceful smiles on the other end of the phone, and then grandma said, "It's better not to take life so lightly."

Mu Yu hummed, but then said: "But if you don't understate it, everyone else will be overwhelmed, right?"

"The shadow of a snake with a bow and a cup is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Is that so..."

"Yeah." Grandma paused, then continued. "Do you remember participating in a relay race in junior high school and bleeding all over the place after the run?"

"Ah, that, some boring people put thumbtacks in my sneakers." Mu Yu replied calmly.

"You have to bear the pain to participate without saying anything."

"After all, it's not a broken bone. Even if it hurts a little, you can run with patience."

"Then it doesn't matter if your class didn't get a place because of your foot injury?"

Mu Yu paused, listening to the noise on the phone, his tone was still indifferent and calm. "But they forgave me when they saw the pushpins in my shoes. And since then, no one has put pushpins in my sneakers or anything like that."

"Mu Yu." Grandma sighed. "I know what you were thinking at that time was that they wouldn't let you run, so you just wanted to run, and even if you were hurt, you would still run. However, I just want to say that there are some things that cannot be lightly pressed in your heart. If you calm down, it will cause trouble for others."

"..."

What is she referring to?Mu Yu pondered in silence.Refers to Yanhong?or family?

Then, grandma said again: "Take a good rest, the weather will be cold in two months, add more clothes. I won't bother you."

Seeing that the other party was about to hang up, Mu Yu remembered Yan Hong who was lying at the other end of the corridor, and quickly said: "By the way, Yan Hong..."

"Oh." Hearing her mention it, grandma's tone was just as calm as water. "Remind that child, come back as soon as you finish your work, otherwise the teacher will mark her as absent from class."

Mu Yu frowned slightly, and explained, "But now she..."

Before he could start speaking, he was interrupted by the other end.

Grandma said: "If you run out of calls, you should have a good rest." Then she paused for a while. "goodbye."

"Wait a minute, Yanhong's arm has just been corrected..." She wanted to explain clearly for Yanhong before the other party hung up, but Mu Yu had just finished speaking before hearing the other party's busy voices.

She sighed and dialed back.After waiting for a while, they heard the voice of answering.

But it was not her grandmother who answered, but Yan Hong who was clearly exhausted.

"What's wrong?" the other party asked, and then added another sentence. "How are you?"

Mu Yu blurted out. "not good."

"Huh?...Sorry."

Realizing what he said, Mu Yu rubbed his brows and sighed after hearing Yan Hong's apology. "That's not what I meant." After thinking about it for a while, she decided to tell the other party about her grandmother's phone call just now. "Just now, someone called and said that if you don't go back to school, the teacher will mark you as absent."

Yanhong was silent for a long time, and Mu Yu understood her silence, after all, the dislocation of her arm has just been corrected, and it is estimated that she is still wearing a fixed plaster cast, so the doctor will naturally let her stay and observe for a while.Going back to class is not realistic.

Just as she was about to suggest whether to take a leave of absence to explain the situation, she heard Yan Hong ask with some doubts: "Whose phone did your grandma use?"

Mu Yu said: "She said that the landline at home has the same number as your mobile phone."

"Huh? We don't have a landline at home." Yan Hong replied.

Mu Yu subconsciously looked at the number floating on the call interface, and asked Yan Hong: "Your home? Do you live with her?"

As if realizing that he had slipped his tongue, the other side became silent.After a long while, he wanted to explain something, Mu Yu waited quietly and patiently, not realizing that he was just busy talking on the phone and forgot to eat steamed dumplings, and his mother who was reading the recipe on the sofa was watching his every move.

But Yanhong didn't seem to be able to find a good explanation, so she faltered and said that there was another call coming in.The call was cut off.

Mu Yu raised his eyebrows, and in the next second he pressed and pressed the call back.As she expected, the square dance music waiting to be answered sounded without any hindrance.

Then it was cut off by Yanhong.So she kept calling back.

Yanhong cut again, and Mu Yu called back again.cut, call back.cut, call back.

Frowning, but the corners of his mouth turned up amusedly, Mu Yu called back a dozen times, and finally couldn't take it anymore, and sent a text message directly.

——Do you not know how to turn it off?

Soon Yanhong replied:

--Yes.

Very righteous.After a while, another message came: How to shut down?

Mu Yu couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, how could I tell you.Then she didn't reply and continued to dial.Yanhong was cut off by her again without any surprise.

In fact, you can throw it aside, right?I don't know what that person was thinking.Mu Yu was thinking while pressing the callback button excitedly.

After about five or six minutes, I heard my mother quietly reminding me: "The steamed dumplings are going to be cold."

"Ah, I'm sorry." When he came back to his senses, Mu Yu could only put down the phone first, and continued to pick up the chopsticks.

Yanhong's attitude of not having 300 taels of silver here made her more sure that the other party lived with grandma, but if there is no landline at home, how did grandma use this number to call herself?

Could it be that he secretly hid another mobile phone?Later Mu Yu sighed helplessly in his heart.It's not impossible to think about this possibility. After all, grandma lives with her parents and doesn't lack that little money.It was the fact that Yanhong said "our family does not have a landline" that made her feel contradictory.

Although she has never been home, Mu Yu still knows that there are two landline phones at home.

So what the hell does that kid mean?Who is telling the truth?

"Mu Yu." Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard his mother calling him.

"Ok?"

"Why did you smile so happily just now?"

Mu Yu chewed the steamed dumplings and wiped his face. "I'm happy?"

Mom nodded and asked again, "Is that the little girl you mentioned before?"

"..."

Mu Yu only mentioned Yan Hong's matter to his family at the very beginning, it was nothing more than a little girl who opened her eyes and said to herself that there are monsters around her.So her parents introduced Lu's family to treat her.

She remembered that her mother heard it and said that a girl who could only see was not as good as a half-professional exorcist or something.

But now——Mu Yu tilted his head to think.But now, it seems that Yanhong has become a little more reliable.

Especially after witnessing that Master Lu's various props didn't work, she even became more interested in that child.

That night, Mu Yu didn't bother to watch TV anymore, and accompanied by her mother, she walked around the inpatient department for a few laps, and the nurses and doctors along the way would peep at her, which made her feel very strange.

"Mom, there weren't many people who saw me on the road before." Mu Yu frowned and asked his mother.

Mom replied: "Probably haggard beauty."

"what?"

After walking for a few laps, he felt tired, but this tiredness made Mu Yu a little nervous.After all, once you feel dizzy, it will not be a good thing.So he hurried back to the room and held the string of copper coins that he asked the broker to bring in the palm of his hand.

The temperature of the copper-colored copper coin with a square hole was cold, and the brown blood stain on it had not faded away, so Mu Yu warmed it up bit by bit.But the strange thing is that the dizziness in his head still hasn't subsided.

Does it have nothing to do with monsters?she thought.

Then I heard the mother behind me muttering: "It's strange that I suddenly want to sleep after walking a few laps."

"..."

That night, the hospital didn't know if the air conditioner was turned up, and the temperature in the room dropped by eight points. Yanhong looked at the temperature monitor, but found that the monitor had broken down at some point, and it was gray and green.She frowned and shrank back under the quilt, the phone's battery was at a pitiful ten percent.Thinking that Mu Yu's room is not far away anyway, if there is anything to do, just run over in two steps, Yan Hong turned off the phone without hesitation.

After being possessed for the first time, she became a little conscious the second time. Perhaps it was because of the long stay this time that she had enough time to react.

But this half consciousness is like silk in the wind, useless.

Yan Hong sighed, then frowned and touched her shoulder.How did she overcome the thing possessing her at that time without hurting Mu Yu?

Even though there was a strong resistance in his mind, the strength to break off his shoulder with his backhand was not like what a little girl with a grip strength of only forty could do.

"What the hell am I thinking?" Later, Yan Hong looked at the deserted and empty ward inexplicably, tilted her head and decided not to dwell on this matter any more.

In short, she saved Mu Yu.Well, I saved Mu Yu again.

Close your eyes and get ready to take a good rest, the wound you treated today is still aching.Yanhong heard that Mu Yu paid for her hospitalization expenses, all meals are included, and the service is considerate.As Yu Le said, if it weren't for some terminal illness and pain, staying here would be like a vacation.

But that centipede... I don’t know if it’s because she’s too tired, Yan Hong immediately became sleepy as soon as she closed her eyes, thinking about that centipede in a daze, but her thoughts were like a lone boat drifting along to the center of the lake, gradually being diffused. The white mist was obscured endlessly.

——That’s not okay.

She recalled the words she had muttered in her heart when she fell asleep at that time.

Can not be done……

No...

What is it?

Later, Yan Hong saw a cloud of fire and smoke in a daze, she was in it, she couldn't hear the slightest sound, and she was stepping on something, which was soft like a human body.Out of nowhere, she said to herself that this is not okay.

As he spoke, a pair of yellow-orange eyes suddenly opened in front of him, like two full moons hanging high in the night sky.

When she saw these eyes, her feet went limp, and she fell to her knees in the fire.And the crisp sound of her knees landing on the ground woke Yan Hong up from her dream.He opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling, the pair of yellow pupils intertwined in front of his eyes like a hallucination, blinked and then disappeared.

——This is impossible.She muttered something to herself.

Then Yan Hong jumped out of bed as if being urged by something, rushed out of the room, turned her head to look at the end of the corridor, the five bodyguards standing at the door of Mu Yu's room were all dressed in black in this empty corridor, very obvious .

She stared at the spot for a few seconds, seeing the five bodyguards standing upright, like five black tree trunks that had been deliberately cut neatly.However, it was too straight, so straight that people could not feel half of the softness that a human being should have.

The incandescent lights in the corridor flickered twice.Yan Hong tore off the gauze on her arm, bent her waist, and took a deep breath.He said one, two, three in his heart, kicked his feet hard and ran forward, hitting the five bodyguards like a small bowling ball.

But Yan Hong was thin and weak, and when he hit with all his strength, he just forcibly knocked the waist of one of the bodyguards 45 degrees.But in this 45-degree distortion, the man's feet remained motionless as if nailed to the ground.So the whole person formed a weird angle and stood there.

In a moment, it bounced back to the prototype like a spring, and also sent Yan Hong flying several steps away.

Standing on her feet, Yan Hong was not surprised to see the five bodyguards turning their heads in unison, facing her, but their eyeballs hadn't turned yet, and five pairs of particularly frightening whites were facing her.Like a network delay, the next second, I saw those five pairs of unresponsive eyeballs turn around with a squeak.

"Here, it's a bit disgusting." Yan Hong muttered, and took out the jade knife from the pocket of the hospital gown.

The little nurse in the window on duty in the corridor is facing this side, watching a series on TV. Judging from the intermittent soundtrack, it seems to be Mu Yu's TV series that has been popular for several months.

Yanhong thought about whether this movement should be louder or avoid conflicts with other people's eyes and ears.Before making a decision, the five bodyguards opened their mouths and spit out a fat black centipede. Halfway through the spit, it seemed that it was stuck or something else, so they remained motionless.The centipede with Yanhong's thick arms twisted its body in the air, rustled its hundred feet, and controlled the bodyguards' hands and feet to turn around like a shadow play.

She couldn't help shivering and ran from her heels to the tips of her hair. She originally thought that these small ones should hide after the big centipede left, but they turned out to be hiding in human bodies.Looking at it like this, there must have been earth-shaking changes in the body of those bodyguards, nine lives are not enough to toss.

——Take Mu Yu outside quickly.There are a lot of people in the inpatient department, and if there is a big commotion and entanglement, it is impossible not to be noticed.

Thinking about it, Yan Hong pressed hard on the wound with the back of the knife, and easily squeezed out two streams of blood.She swiped her palm directly, and rushed towards the five bodyguards like a small bowling ball again.

And those centipedes seemed to know that there was blood in her palm, and subconsciously retreated two steps.Yan Hong took this opportunity to sneak to the door, opened the door and rushed in.

He bumped into Mu Yu head-on.

"Holy shit, it hurts!" The bump hit Yan Hong's arm that had just been taken back, causing her to jump on the spot twice in pain, and then Mu Yu didn't apologize, just grabbed her hand, opened the door and rushed out .

When the door opened, Yan Hong turned her head to look at the room.It was found that Mu Yu's mother was already lying unconscious on the sofa, but the huge centipede that could dominate a party was squeezed out of the window, and now it was rushing with a small mouth open.

Today is awesome, outside the door is a bodyguard performing a human shadow puppet show, and inside the door is a centipede that has broken the Guinness Book of Records.

Mu Yu said we have to go somewhere else.

Yan Hong nodded, expressing that such a tacit understanding is really rare.

So she stretched out her hand and slapped the bodyguard who had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

Mu Yu pulled Yan Hong straight to the safe passage.The elevator is too narrow, the space is too small and I don't know if I will meet ordinary people, if I ride recklessly, I am afraid that I will be killed.

The two ran downstairs all the way, and the footsteps of the big centipede could be heard echoing around in the stairwell of the safe passage.Yan Hong didn't care about other things, she just wiped Mu Yu's face full of blood, and with the indifferent eyes of that big star, she looked like a ferocious woman who just finished the murder and was running around.

Yan Hong asked Mu Yu: "Where's your string of copper coins? Is it missing?"

Mu Yu pushed open the fire door on the first floor and sighed helplessly. "Just now my mother was curious, so she took it and looked at it. I thought it would be fine in a while, but I don't know..."

Unexpectedly, just after handing it over, the window was blown open with a bang, and my mother was about to close it when she stepped on something and slipped, and the copper coin fell under the locker.

Before Mu Yu picked it up, the air in the room changed instantly.

"Could it be that guy has been peeping outside the window?" Yan Hong muttered, and ran out of the inpatient department together with Mu Yu, and ran to the small park where the patient was walking in the dark night. Pulled La Muyu. "Then did you change your clothes in the room?"

"... No matter how you look at it, I think this question is not very suitable for the current atmosphere." Mu Yu complained, and then he heard rustling in the bushes.

Yan Hong immediately hugged her tightly in her arms and tilted to the side, seeing a winding black shadow slamming against her ear and smashing the smooth bluestone slab in front of the stone pavilion.
