strange neighbor

Although it's not officially Christmas yet, the festive atmosphere is already strong. Someone outside set off the fireworks, and the colorful fireworks exploded in mid-air. Ding Shijin stood on the balcony expressionlessly, turning his head to the people around him.

Jiang Duo propped his hands on the railing and leaned on it in an extremely relaxed manner. Feeling Ding Shijin's gaze, he turned his face and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Ding Shijin was holding a cup of hot milk in his hand. According to Jiang Duo, it was brought here specially for him. The No. 1 milk delivery from the balcony is even more dedicated than the delivery boy.

"You don't sleep in the middle of the night just to drag me to watch the fireworks?" Ding Shijin's voice was full of uncertainty, sometimes he really couldn't understand Jiang Duo's brain structure.

"Yeah, such a beautiful firework, I think I must watch it with you." He stroked his hair that was blown by the wind, with an expression of 'are you moved' on his face: "How about it? , Jin, how do you feel now?"

Ding Shijin spun the cup and looked at him lazily, "How do you feel?"

"Yes, tell me how you feel at this moment."

"If I were holding a knife instead of milk, I would stab you without hesitation." Ding Shijin's lips moved slightly, and the words that came out of his mouth were colder than the night wind.

The expression on Jiang Duo's face froze for a moment, and he scratched his cheek helplessly.

But Ding Shijin didn't show mercy, and continued: "Poke at your vitals."

Ding Shijin felt that since he met Jiang Duo, the number of times he was speechless had increased a lot. He couldn't understand that in the middle of the night at minus five or six degrees, and the cold wind was blowing, he was dragged to the balcony just to watch an Nothing interesting about the fireworks show.

But... this person is not completely without merit, he lowered his eyelids and looked at the steaming milk in his hand: Forget it, give him a chance to live.

With a jingle, Ding Shijin picked up the phone and sent a WeChat message.

—Brother Shi Jin, happy Christmas Eve~ Xin Xin

He frowned and replied with two words of thank you.

Jiang Duo has been paying attention to his expression. The two are close. He pretended to glance at Ding Shijin's phone screen unintentionally, and immediately saw the message from Yu Xin. Not only this one, but the two's messages occupied the entire screen. , He pressed the tip of his tongue against his mouth, it seems that Ah Jin and Yu Xin have always been in contact.

After drinking the milk, the fireworks stopped. Ding Shijin stuffed the cup into Jiang Duo's hand, spit out the word "no send", and closed the balcony door neatly. Jiang Duo smiled as he watched his figure disappear behind the door Laugh, no matter how many contacts you have, it’s not just talk.

'Knock knock——' The couple who had just experienced a carnival fell asleep, and the sudden knock on the door woke up the sleeping girl. She covered her head with the quilt impatiently, pushed her boyfriend, and signaled him to open the door.

The boy turned over and mumbled some sleepy words in his mouth, without any intention of getting up.

'Knock-knock--' The rhythmic knock on the door sounded again.

"Go and see who it is." The girl pushed him again.

"Oh, it's the middle of the night, how could there be someone, you heard it wrong, right?"

"Feifei and the others just left for a while, did something fall, you should go and have a look."

The boy lay motionless on the bed: "Don't go, I'm sleepy, you must have heard wrong, there is no sound."

The girl came up angrily when she heard this, and threw off the quilt: "I haven't reached the point where I can't distinguish the sound. If you don't pull it down, I will do it myself!"

After speaking, he pulled on his slippers and went out.

There was no light in the living room, it was so dark that it was hard to see clearly, the knocking on the door outside had stopped, she also felt timid when she looked at the dark room, thinking that she should go back to sleep.

She looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already 01:30 in the morning, and the party ended at eleven o'clock. How could anyone come?What if it is a bad guy!

I heard that a person with mental problems seems to have escaped from the hospital recently, could it be...

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Killing someone with a psychopath is not against the law. She didn't dare to think about it any more. She turned around and was about to go to the bedroom, as if she was being chased behind her.

Just after taking a step, there was another knock on the door.

'Knock, knock, knock—'It's not too fast, it's very real.

She swallowed her saliva, and while warning herself not to go there, she walked towards the door as if possessed by a demon. It was all because she didn't design it well when the house was decorated, and the light switch in the living room was only on the porch at the door. It can only be opened at a place, and at this time she can only bite the bullet and walk to the door.

She didn't open the door immediately, but stood on tiptoe and looked towards the cat's eyes. The corridor outside was also dark, and she didn't even turn on the voice-activated lights. She frowned: There was no one at all, who was there? It's a prank.

Just as he was thinking, there was another knock on the door.

She was very close, and suddenly there was a knock on the door in the silent night, which startled her. She stretched out her hand to cover the position of her heart, and bravely asked, "Who?"

"it's me."

Someone really answered, the voice was high-pitched and fast, but it was very strange. She frowned and recalled that there seemed to be no one with such a voice among the people she knew.

So she asked again cautiously: "Who are you?"

There was a long silence outside before someone answered: "Santa Claus, hehe."

However, after the man finished answering, her whole body froze, and her scalp exploded, because the voice said this sentence in her ear, and the cool wind brought by the speech shook the broken hair on her temples. It floated up, she swallowed hard...

After a while, the door of the bedroom was pushed open, and her boyfriend also came out with his slippers on. He yawned and asked her, "It's so late at night, what are you doing in the living room without sleeping?"

He looked at his girlfriend sitting motionless on the sofa in puzzlement.

"Hmm..." The girl only let out a short and unintelligible sound.

He walked to the entrance and turned on the light at once. The girl subconsciously blocked her eyes with her hands, and said with a stiff smile, "Why did you come out?"

"Pee."

After urinating and peeing, the whole body was relaxed, and the other person was more energetic. He walked to the sofa and recalled that he had slept in a daze just now. Because his girlfriend asked him to come out to see who was knocking on the door, he was perfunctory and felt a little guilty. Although he It is true that there was no knock on the door, but it is true that a girl should not get up in the middle of the night to check. Thinking of this, he lowered his voice and squatted in front of his girlfriend: "Go back to sleep, if there are any more noises, you Just... just kick me, I'll wake up right away, okay?"

The girlfriend smiled: "Okay."

Standing up, he stretched out his hand to hold his girlfriend. His eyes inadvertently saw a small ceramic doll on the coffee table, and he was about to pick it up: "Where did this thing come from?"

"Hey, don't move!" Realizing that her reaction was a little too big, she replied with a smile: "I bought it when I went out during the day."

"Really? But why haven't I seen it before?" The boy withdrew his hand embarrassingly, guessing that his girlfriend was still angry, and didn't take it to heart, but this doll is really interesting, and it looks like his girlfriend. .

"It's pretty cute. Where did you buy it? If you have one that looks like me, buy one too. It's just a good pair." He yawned.

"Okay." His girlfriend pushed him into the bedroom. Before closing the door, she took a vague look at the palm-high doll on the coffee table. It was the image of a girl, with both hands in front of her head and her body slightly backward. Back, similar to a defensive posture.

After a while, the boy fell asleep, and even snored slightly in his deep sleep. The girl lay on the bed, she seemed to be in a good mood, stretched out her two hands in mid-air, and hummed softly Song, turning her arms back and forth, admiring her body, after a while, she put down her hands, turned sideways to face her boyfriend, with a weird smile on her face.

The next day will be Christmas. Ding Shijin relied on the blessing of the cup of hot milk before going to bed last night. After sleeping until dawn, when he opened his eyes, the smell of food happened to float into the bedroom through the crack of the door. Opening the door and going out, he saw that familiar figure. Jiang Duo seemed to be in a good mood. Seeing him, he just urged him to wash up quickly. Ding Shijin was already used to Jiang Duo's daily 'trespassing' behavior , can basically be ignored.

Jiang Duo always had a smile on his face during the meal, Ding Shijin glanced at him strangely, and found that Jiang Duo seemed to be in a good mood recently: "Did you win the big prize?"

Jiang Duo put the bowl in front of Ding Shijin: "Yes, Ah Jin, guess what?"

"Don't guess."

"Guess, there is a reward for guessing right." Jiang Duo raised an eyebrow at him.

"childish."

Jiang Duo didn't mind either, and he was still happily serving Ding Zuzong for dinner. He was really in a good mood recently, not only the kiss that Ding Shijin offered to him, although A Jin who had sobered up had long since forgotten, and he found A clue about Master's whereabouts.

After eating, he went out. A few days ago, he accidentally saw a figure who was very similar to Master. He followed him all the way into a small alley, but he lost him by turning around. At a glance, he is at least seventy to eighty percent sure that the figure from behind is his master, and all his skills were taught by his master. Similarly, he is also the person who is most familiar with his master's ways, so today he Came to that alley, hoping to meet that person again.

Christmas is a festival introduced from the West, and it is also popular in this country. Several families in the alley have put a green Christmas tree at the door, tied with ribbons, and hung with various small gifts. Jiang Duo left Stepping forward, he ran his fingers across the tree, and those small ornaments swayed jinglingly, making him smile.

Not far in front of them, a young woman and a child were playing. The woman was sitting comfortably on a small chair at the door. The child seemed to be only four or five years old, and ran up and down the path excitedly, clutching his hands. Looking at something, Jiang Duo also stopped when he saw how lively they were, his eyes followed the cheerful little girl, but when he saw the thing in her hand clearly, his eyes froze.

The kid was holding a knife in his hand.
