ghost stories

"It shouldn't be like this..."

The moment Xiao Yu was pierced by the black sword, he lowered his head to look at his body, then raised his head to look at Lu Yuan who was sitting in the car, his wide open mouth slowly closed, and an indistinct expression appeared on his face smile.Lu Yuan looked back at her steadfastly, this woman, at this moment, had some changes, her smile was not as creepy as before, but gentle.

Xiao Yu's body began to become transparent, as if she had been emptied of reality, and her outline gradually became unclear, but her face was always facing Lu Yuan's direction, as if she wanted to engrave Lu Yuan's appearance in her mind.

Lu Yuan didn't avoid her, he felt something familiar.

This body pierced by Meng Fanyu, this translucent body, is his mother.

Xiao Yu finally melted into the night like a cloud of white mist, leaving no trace behind.As Xiao Yu dissipated, Lu Yuan suddenly felt relieved, the previous feeling of suffocation and pain suddenly disappeared, he opened the door and got out of the car.

"What's going on." He looked at Meng Fanyu.

The black mist wrapped around Meng Fanyu's left hand quickly dissipated as if being absorbed by his fingers.

"It's all right." Meng Fanyu leaned on the front of the car, lit a cigarette, his lips were a little pale, I don't know if it was because the temperature was too low at night or something else.

Lu Yuan walked up to him, pulled his left hand in front of his eyes, and examined it carefully: "I never thought that my best friend, the most important person to me... might not be human."

After saying this, Lu Yuan clasped his fingers on Meng Fanyu's wrist.He felt that Meng Fanyu, like Su Mo, should have no breathing or pulse.But what surprised him was that Meng Fanyu's pulse was normal, no different from ordinary people.

As for breathing, he and Meng Fanyu have known each other for more than ten years, and they have always been struggling together. If there is something wrong, he will not feel it at all.

"Why do you think I'm not human?" Meng Fanyu smiled and withdrew his hand.

"Su Mo is not, he has no breathing pulse." Lu Yuan frowned, "I think you should know Su Mo."

"I don't know." Meng Fanyu replied without hesitation. Such an answer made Lu Yuan a little unsure what to say next.

"...Xiao Yu," Lu Yuan paused, "The moment before he disappeared, was it Xiao Yu?"

"Yes, let's get in the car. It will be midnight before returning to the city." Meng Fanyu threw the remaining half of his cigarette on the ground and stamped it out, then turned and got into the car.

Lu Yuan didn't move, he was relieved that Meng Fanyu was not a monster without breath and pulse, no matter how many things Meng Fanyu kept from him, as long as Meng Fanyu was not a "ghost", he felt a lot more at ease.He didn't know what kind of existence the so-called ghosts and gods were. He was simply afraid that Meng Fanyu would disappear, appear and then disappear strangely like Xu Jiayin and Xiao Yu.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Meng Fanyu looked at Lu Yuan.When the car drove to Zhongshan Road, it was almost 12 o'clock, and the neon lights were flickering and the lights were dim.

"How could I be able to eat?" Lu Yuan was a little annoyed. The experience of this day was an unbearable torture for him, both mentally and physically. Who has the appetite for supper?

"Then go back and rest." Meng Fanyu parked the car at the intersection. He knew that Lu Yuan was in a bad mood, but he couldn't do anything, and he didn't want to. Some things had to be faced by himself.

Lu Yuan got out of the car, hesitated for a moment when closing the door, and said to Meng Fanyu: "...you look bad."

"Just sleep and you'll be fine."

Lu Yuan didn't speak any more, closed the car door, turned around and left.

The road in Qijiayuanzi seemed darker than usual, Lu Yuan looked up, and sure enough, a few more street lights went out.

Lu Yuan sighed, he felt that his thinking was a bit strange now, he would not have thought this way before, but now he couldn't help it, the reason why the municipal government has not moved on this old house in the bustling area of ​​the city center is that There is not even a minimum of maintenance, maybe it is really because there is something strange about this old house that cannot be spoken publicly.

He looked down at his own shadow that was slowly elongating and then shortening under the flickering street lights, and remembered Xiao Yu's smile before he disappeared.That smile was different from the previous one, it was a mother's smile to her son, maybe it was Meng Fanyu who made her feel relieved.

But what was Xiao Yu before?

He pushed open the door of No. 19 with some annoyance, and the familiar scene came into his sight.

Moonlight and tea.

Every time he saw such a scene, he would uncontrollably have some strange feelings, as if Su Mo had been sitting here for countless nights, waiting for him.

"You're back." Su Mo's voice was still faint, and the recliner was shaking slightly.

This lonely voice made Lu Yuan feel distressed for no reason, and he felt a desire to cry.He stopped and stood in the courtyard, looking at Su Mo's smile under the cold moonlight: "I'm back."

Su Mo leaned there without moving. Hearing his answer, he put down the cup in his hand and reached out to him.

His fingers were slender, and his fair skin looked a little transparent under the moonlight. At this moment, Lu Yuan seemed to be possessed. He walked towards Su Mo slowly, and gently held this hand.

There was a small warmth in Su Mo's hand, this kind of warmth slowly crawled into his heart like some kind of fluffy animal, which made him feel a little weak all over, and he could not help but gently kneel down on one knee Kneeling beside Su Mo.

"Come back." Su Mo whispered in his ear.

The whisper was like a spell, giving Lu Yuan a sense of distant and real familiarity. He looked at Su Mo.Su Mo still had that quiet expression on his face, and there was a tiny yellow light in his eyes, which Lu Yuan was fascinated by.

Su Mo's eyes slowly changed color in the light. The amber eyes made Lu Yuan resist a little, but he couldn't bear to look away. He leaned over gently uncontrollably, lowered his head and kissed Su Mo's lips. .

This is a feeling that Lu Yuan has never experienced before, warmth, tranquility, peace...

"It's agreed, life is born together, death is death together..."

"No matter what price I have to pay, I will be with you."

When Lu Yuan woke up, the phone was ringing, he grabbed the phone and took a look, Jiang Zhiming.

"What are you doing! I have called you more than a dozen times from yesterday to now, where have you been? In this extraordinary period, you actually disappeared while playing with me," Lu Yuan answered the phone before he could speak, Jiang Zhiming said The voice popped out in succession, "I have a bag on my head, and I have to cover you for you!"

"I'll be there right away." Lu Yuan sat up without explaining anything else.

"You don't have to go through the bureau, you go to the funeral parlor, there was a car accident, four of them died in a car, and they were all pulled over." Jiang Zhiming didn't have time to pester Lu Yuan why, and Lu Yuan has always been serious and responsible, this time he will definitely If there is something, he doesn't want to ask more.

"Okay." Lu Yuan hung up the phone, grabbed his clothes and put them on indiscriminately, and ran out. After running two steps, he saw the empty food bowl in Liuliu's cage. He patted his leg. It was a crime to ask him to keep a dog. .

"I'm sorry, little thing, I'm really... Forget it, I won't make excuses anymore," Lu Yuan poured the dog food into the bowl, gritted his teeth after thinking for a while, and put down a bag of dog food upside down. If you're hungry when you don't come back, just eat it from the bag..."

He patted Liuliu's head, rushed into the bathroom and washed it twice, the cold water made him wake up a lot, and suddenly remembered what happened last night.

"God." Lu Yuan was lying on the sink in a daze, he kissed Su Mo?Is he crazy?

He turned around and ran out. He had to tell Su Mo clearly that although he didn't drink, he was indeed a little unconscious last night. Maybe it was because he was too tired yesterday. In short, he just lost his nerve...

Lu Yuan opened the door and glanced at Su Mo's room, and found that the door was open, and Su Mo was leaning on the door frame and staring at the patio in a daze.

"Su Mo." He called out, closed the door and walked towards Su Mo, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Morning." Su Mo looked at him and smiled, looking calm.

"Uh...last night," Lu Yuan was a little embarrassed to meet Su Mo's gaze, he looked away, "I was a little dizzy...I'm sorry..."

"Sorry for what."

When Lu Yuan was asked such a question, he didn't know how to answer it, as if it was superfluous for him to run to say sorry early in the morning: "Just...forget it."

Lu Yuan turned around and walked towards the stairs, he could feel Su Mo's gaze was always behind him.He was a little depressed, what was wrong with him, not only did he accept the fact that Su Mo was not a "human", but he even did something like that yesterday!

Maybe, just maybe, Lu Yuan can now make judgments beyond the norm on everything. Maybe Su Mo has something to do with himself. This relationship is not the opposite relationship between him and Jingling, but some kind of... He couldn't figure out what was going on with his inexplicable heartache for Su Mo, and the familiar warmth.

There is another question, that is - does Su Mo also want this pendant on his body?

All the problems are concentrated together, and everything may be because of this small pendant.

Lu Yuan had an impulse, he really wanted to just tear off the pendant and throw it anywhere, anyone who wanted it would go.But rationality does not allow him to do this. If he must give this pendant to someone, the first thing he thinks of is Meng Fanyu.

A funeral home is a great place.

Lu Yuan has always thought so, stay away from the city, stay away from the crowd, stay away from all worldly troubles.He had thought in the past that working in an undertaker would be a good choice.

"The car accident happened near the expressway," a person from the accident department introduced after Lu Yuan, "Because it's going to be the rush hour of traffic flow, so there is no reservation to wait for you..."

"Yeah." Lu Yuan changed his clothes and looked at the four corpses lined up in front of him while putting on his gloves.

"We took pictures of the scene..." the man continued to introduce him.

"I'll see later, please don't talk yet." Lu Yuan interrupted the man, he hated being disturbed when he was working.

It looks like a family of four, a child, an old man, and two middle-aged people who seem to be husband and wife.Lu Yuan made a general inspection, paying special attention to the wound and the abdomen. He couldn't help himself not to do so. He really had a shadow, and when he saw the corpse, he would subconsciously associate it with the previous two murders.

The four bodies fit all the characteristics of a traffic accident, and there was nothing suspicious. He breathed a sigh of relief, took off his gloves, and signed his name on the appraisal report.

When he walked outside, he felt a tightness in his chest, and he knew the reason.

It can be seen from the photos at the scene that at the moment of the car accident, the mother hugged the child tightly to her chest, turned around as much as possible, and turned her back to the front, trying to give her child a chance to survive in this way. But it didn't work out.

In Lu Yuan's memory, he has no impression of what maternal love is like.Xiao Yu's last smile was the only feeling he had for his mother.When Xiao Yu was in a strange state back then, maybe she wanted to protect her child like this mother...

Lu Yuan called Jiang Zhiming and told him that the processing was over and he should report to the bureau immediately.

Only now did he have some space to think about what happened yesterday and what Meng Fanyu said.

Brother is with me, what does that mean?
