strange neighbor

Another day later, that lunatic also woke up, and his identity was also found out. His name was Qi Hao, and he was actually the son of the family where Luo Tian and the others were staying.

"I remember that night, my school was on vacation, so I happened to be at home, because I took a long nap during the day, and I had some insomnia at night, and I didn't fall asleep much until the early morning." Qihao sat on the hospital bed, his face was washed off Dark stains, unexpectedly handsome features.

"Then what did you see?" Officer Yu had already changed into his police uniform and was sitting by the bed, taking notes with a notebook in his hand.

Qi Hao pursed his dry lips: "I saw... a group of paper figurines and other villagers, everyone seemed to be hypnotized, standing upright outside my house. At that time, I was... very scared, so I hid it under the curtain later……"

Officer Yu stopped writing: "Then why everyone was taken away by hypnosis, but you stayed?"

"I thought I was the only one who didn't fall asleep. Just when I was terribly afraid, a hand grabbed me in the dark. At that time, my heartbeat almost stopped. When I turned around, I realized it was my dad. It turned out that he hadn't been hypnotized either. The two of us wanted to bring my mother here, but we didn't expect her to be under control, so we just opened the door and walked out. Then the paper figurines began to count the number of people. My dad and I were not in the team, so I kept shouting that there were still two more... My dad really had no choice, and ran to the Immortal Bodhisattva to pray in front of the Bodhisattva of Immortality, hoping that he would not take me away. Those paper figurines have changed from being two short to one short.”

"So...your father went out and you stayed?"

Qihao nodded, his face was very pale, this memory was something he was unwilling to recall in his life, he kept squatting behind the window, and didn't stand up until all those people had left, what happened afterwards... He can't remember clearly, and even forgot how he got to the back mountain. He was a wild man in the mountain for three years like that, eating dry grass and wild animals when he was hungry, and eating wild animals when he was thirsty. Drink water from the ground.

He was conflicted and hated his father. If his father hadn't insisted on enshrining the eternal life Bodhisattva, such a thing would never have happened in their family, but he couldn't hate his father, because at the last moment, it was his father who saved him. For him, for him...

For the next three years, he always wanted to find the villagers and their families, so sometimes he would wander around the village or search for the mountain where the Immortal Bodhisattva was found. He didn't know what he was looking for, but it was indeed there. He was desperate, just like this, he really found out some clues unconsciously, but he still couldn't break in. Every time he walked to the entrance, he came out again after turning around for some reason, until this time He accidentally discovered that a few guys with no purpose came to the village, and brought Jiang Duo to that place, and he also sneaked in there...

"So... who is that lunatic?" Ding Shijin sat on the bed, Jiang Duo was pouring water to his mouth, he shook his head to express that he would not drink.

Jiang Duo took the cup back, raised it in front of himself and took a sip: "Well, it's really a coincidence."

"What about the missing people?"

Jiang Duo hissed, thinking of the last pile of ashes: "It's gone, but...one escaped."

"Run away..." Ding Shijin frowned and repeated, and suddenly thought of something: "Is that the man who ran away?"

"How do you know?" Jiang Duo froze for a moment.

"That man doesn't look right." He remembered that man's expression, which was different from the hollow planks on the other puppets' faces. That man was obviously not under control.

Jiang Duo also thought about it when he heard the words: "You are right. When we fought, I didn't expect him to hide a knife, and his expression really didn't look like a puppet. Could it be..."

That person is the eternal life Bodhisattva?

or who?

He felt that he was in a cloud of fog, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but if one day he could clear the fog, everything would become clear.

It was already late at night, and the inpatient department was very quiet, except for the occasional patrolling nurse passing quietly in the corridor. At the end of the corridor was the public toilet, and the dim light shone on the snow-white tiles, giving people a gloomy feeling for no reason. The faucet in front of the washbasin did not know who hadn’t turned it tightly, and the water was dripping out. A man in black clothes and a hat who wrapped himself up tightly walked in. He was dumbfounded. He walked forward and turned on the faucet, then reached out to take a handful of water, lowered his head and muttered something silently in his mouth, following his voice, the water seemed to be in a vibrating environment, boiling violently, There was a crazy expression on his face, he suddenly opened his mouth and drank the water. After a while, it seemed as if his internal organs were being pierced back and forth with a knife at the same time, which made him squat down and scream out loudly. He seemed to have realized where this place was, and he clenched his teeth and closed his mouth again, beads of sweat dripping from his face and hitting the ground.

It took a long time before the pain eased. He gasped heavily, stood up staggeringly, and walked out step by step.

Watching the figure of the patrolling guard disappear at the end of the corridor, he slowly pushed open the door of a ward. Qihao was sleeping soundly on the bed, and he didn't notice a strange man with obsessive and greedy eyes standing next to the bed. The person with the expression on his face, that person took out a sharp knife from his pocket, if Jiang Duo was there at this time, he would definitely find that this knife was the one that stabbed Qi Hao, and this person was the puppet who escaped at that time.

He took out the knife and wiped it on his wrist without any hesitation. In an instant, blood gushed out. Qihao was falling asleep when he suddenly felt warmth on his face. When he opened his eyes, he saw an invisible The figure stood beside the bed.

"You're awake..." The voice was hoarse and excited.

Then, before Qi Hao could react, his jaw was pinched, and his mouth was forced to open. The man moved his wrist closer, and the blood dripped into his mouth.

Qi Hao desperately pushed him away and slapped him, but he was already malnourished, and he had no strength to struggle at all due to injury and bleeding. He watched the man's blood flow into his mouth, and was forced to swallow it again.

He thumped his hands against the wall and rang the nurse's bell.

The man withdrew his hand, knelt down and wiped the corners of his mouth carefully: "You are about to wake up, I will come to see you next month."

Qi Hao desperately pushed him away, Gulu rolled over from the bed and was about to run out, but when he was about to approach the door, his eyes went dark and he fell to the ground.

The man walked over and carried him back to the bed, covered him carefully before leaving.

Ding Shijin was discharged from the hospital. He walked in front, and Jiang Duo followed behind with a bag. When passing by the security booth, Li Ge, the security guard, was amused: "Why does Mr. Jiang serve Mr. Ding like his girlfriend? These two people have such a good relationship." very nice."

There was another new boy in the security booth, and upon seeing this, he asked, "Brother, are they brothers?"

Brother Li shook his head: "No, the door is opposite."

Fat Brother and Liang Wang knew about Ding Shijin's second entry into the palace this time. He was really afraid of Liang Wang's earnestness, and he didn't even dare to answer his phone calls. Unexpectedly, he met an unexpected person.

"Yu..." He opened the door and looked at the little girl standing outside.

"Yu Xin!"

Ding Shijin glanced at her, puzzled: "Is there something wrong?"

Yu Xin smiled: "I heard Brother Liang Wang said that you were injured, and I was a little worried, so I came to see you. You won't blame me for rushing here?"

"Thank you."

"Brother Shi Jin, you just don't want to see me. You've been standing at the door for a long time, and you don't invite me in." Yu Xin tilted her head and raised the bag in her hand.

Ding Shijin stepped aside and Yu Xin walked in.

"I came to your house in a hurry last time, so I didn't take a good look at it. Your house is so clean." Yu Xin stood in the living room, looking around: very good, there is no trace of girls.

Ding Shijin opened the refrigerator: "Sit down, coffee, milk, juice and water, what do you want to drink?"

"Um... I want juice."

Yu Xin was sitting on the sofa, holding the cup in both hands and drinking juice in small sips, her eyes secretly glanced at Ding Shijin, she calmed down: "Brother Shi Jin, how is your injury?"

"It's okay, it's much better." Ding Shijin looked up at her from the phone and replied.

"Oh, that's good." Yu Xin smiled and nodded.

The atmosphere in the living room was very quiet for a while. Ding Shijin looked at his phone with his head down, occasionally typing a few words, as if he was replying to a message, while Yu Xin racked her brains to find something to talk about while drinking juice.

That's right, Ding Shijin was replying to a message, someone was asking him what he would have for dinner.

- ding: all will do.

—Jiang Duo: Let’s eat shredded chicken porridge that night, it’s just right for your injury, and it’s not suitable to eat too greasy and stimulating.

-ding: ah.

The news of the two was intimate and natural, and Ding Shijin didn't realize at all whether this conversation and this tone of voice were appropriate between neighbors.

Yu Xin bit the bullet and sat for a while, and found that Ding Shijin had no intention of chatting with her at all. She curled her lips. Is this person too aloof or playing hard to get? Which girl came here eagerly because of a The older brother he didn't know very well was injured, no matter how stupid he was, he would have noticed something, but Ding Shijin's face didn't change, no, even his attitude didn't change.

"Brother Shi Jin, since you're fine, I don't worry, then I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you another day." Yu Xin put down her cup and stood up.

"it is good."

He didn't keep her, not even a word of courtesy.

Yu Xin couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

Ding Shijin sent her to the door and waited for the elevator to come up. Today, he was wearing a white T-shirt and a pair of gray slacks. Standing there leisurely was enough to please the eyes. Light kept looking at him.

With a sound of 'ding', the elevator door opened, and the people inside came out. When they saw the two people at the door, they were stunned for a moment: "Yu Xin?"

Yu Xin looked at Jiang Duo who was carrying the bag and immediately smiled cutely: "What a coincidence, Brother Jiang Duo."
