I live on the 18th floor of Nether Community

As soon as You Ji pushed the door and ran out, the sound of the rain suddenly became louder with his movements.The bead-like rain rolled down the eaves, knocking the crabapple flowers on the branches to the ground, stained with mud.

That's all there is to see, there are no ghosts or people.You Ji's eyes dimmed again, he took out the cigarette case and knocked it irritably, biting out a cigarette.

"Where are you appreciating the rain?" Jiang Miao's lazy voice came from behind him, and You Ji turned to look at him, only to see Jiang Miao raised his chin at the cigarette case in You Ji's hand with eyes downcast, "Give me one."

You Ji gave him a blank look, but still threw the cigarette case to him.

"Why do you guys slap me every time?"

Jiang Miao took the cigarette case steadily, and smiled: "The rice in other people's bowls must be more delicious." He lit the cigarette with his head tilted while talking, and let out a breath slowly.

"I seem to have seen Ajiao just now." You Ji said in a deep voice, looking at the rain in the night.

"Where is it?" Jiang Miao was a little surprised.

"In the room." You Ji paused, and then said, "I saw a man in red standing outside my room."

Jiang Xiao narrowed his eyes: "Are you sure it's him?"

"I think it is..." You Ji frowned and said, "But if you think about it carefully, the shadow just now seems to be thinner than Ajiao again."

You Jiwu recalled it to himself, and then asked Jiang Miao: "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Miao raised his eyebrows: "Enjoy the rain."

"Stop farting." You Ji was too lazy to talk to him, and lowered his voice, "Say, are you going to visit Tang Zhai at night?"

Jiang Miao put the cigarette in his mouth, stretched out his hand to untie the rubber band tied to the back of his head and pulled it down, then rubbed his sore scalp and smiled: "What kind of wild cat hurts people is nothing more than Master Tang trying to cover it up. .He won’t come out unless he lets me out. Think I’m really here for business?”

You Ji nodded: "I happen to have the same idea, so let's go together." He looked around, frowned and asked, "Is your neighbor still in the house?"

"Oh, I arranged to smoke for Master Tang and the others." Jiang Miao shrugged.

"What? Smoke?... Fuck, don't be the one I thought, right?"

"Ah, that's right." Jiang Miao nodded, holding a cigarette between his hands and comparing it to a reed stick, then blew on You Ji, and said with a smirk, "I promise to sleep until dawn."

"You guys..." You Ji got stuck for a long time and finally squeezed out a few words between his teeth, "There are three things in the rivers and lakes."

Jiang Miao chuckled, "Don't worry, what I ordered is Anshenxiang, without any side effects, adults and children can use it." After he finished speaking, he turned his back to You Ji and hooked his fingers, "Let's go."

You Ji shook his head with a cold face, thinking that Tang Deyong really led a wolf into the house this time.

……

With the sound of rain, Jiang Xiao and You Ji walked side by side on the long and empty corridor of the Tang residence.

You Ji bumped into Jiang Miao's body: "Hey, why don't you let those lackeys of yours out?"

Jiang Miao was stunned for a moment, then he was pissed off by You Ji's description, and scolded with a smile: "Be yourself, brother, the little paper figurine is so cute, why do you say that?"

"I'm not human." You Ji turned his head away.

Jiang Miao sighed, but still snapped his fingers to summon his little paper figurine, and said, "Go, look around to see if there is anything suspicious? Especially pay attention, is there a big beauty in red?" Son……"

Jiang Miao suddenly got stuck at this point. You must know that Ajiao has been skinned now, so she should no longer be the same as before, but a horrifying skinless blood corpse.

He quietly glanced at You Ji, hooked his hands to signal the little paper figurine to put his ears close, and whispered, "It's not a beauty, it's a skinless..."

Jiang Miao couldn't say the word "monster". He bit the tip of his tongue and said quickly, "Little brother without human skin. If you see it, come back and report it to me. Do you hear me?"

The little paper man jumped, straightened up and saluted, and then jumped into the rain.

"Is your lackey out?"

"I told you not to call it a running dog, it has a name." Jiang Miao said speechlessly.

"Come on, you can't remember its name yourself." You Ji snorted coldly, "It's Xiao Q for a while, Xiao Mei for a while, and Xiao You for a while, it's better to call a running dog louder."

"..." Hehe, thank you so much.

"I said Jiang Miao." You Ji stopped suddenly, looked back at Jiang Miao suspiciously and asked, "You and your neighbor, today..."

Jiang Miao's heart immediately "thumped", and after holding back with the person in front of him for so long, he finally couldn't help asking.

"We..." Jiang Miao thought for a moment, pretending to be nonchalant and said, "Oh, Brother Xiaohua's full-level Overlord Flower has a side effect, that is, it is easy for him to lose control of himself. I'm afraid he will make another mistake if he is not careful. Hurt innocent, so I found a kind of pill that can make him restrain himself and restore his sanity. So today, we are giving medicine."

"Yes, I'm feeding medicine." Jiang Miao repeated again.

"You fucking, are you kidding me?" You Ji sneered, "Is there such a way as yours?"

"..."

"Miao'er." You Ji said patiently and sincerely, "You told me before, let me know my own thoughts. Now I throw this sentence back to you, I know it very well, and you know it too Don't know?"

"..."

"Your neighbor is interested in you. I noticed it when I was in Wutong Village." You Ji frowned and said, "You should also ask your own heart. Just make it clear so that the two of you don't feel uncomfortable when you meet every day. If you don't feel at ease with others, don't always look forward and backward, and make a fuss about it."

"You know a fart." Jiang Xiao muttered in a low voice.

"My buddy, I'm telling you the truth." At this point, You Ji's eyes flashed a trace of loneliness, "Don't be like me when the time comes, people will find you before you hide your words in your heart." Gone."

"I'll see you later." Jiang Miao raised his eyes and smiled, "When you see Ajiao, tell him everything you want to say."

"No, did you hear what I said to you?" You Ji frowned dissatisfied.

Jiang Xiao waved his hand and said in a drawn out voice, "I know, I know, let's go quickly, don't talk about the two old men like a little sister's party, it's so disgusting."

"You bastard."

The two of them were chatting one after another, when suddenly they heard a faint movement from the room on one side, a bit like the sound of dishes colliding.

Jiang Xiao and You Ji looked back at the dark room at the same time, and exchanged glances with each other.

You Ji: "Trouble with rats?"

Jiang Miao: "Maybe it's a little wild cat."

The two laughed at the same time, then pushed the door open and walked in.

I saw a thin and small figure in the dark corner, without saying a word, You Ji stepped forward and clamped the other's slender wrist, then buckled him up and lifted him up.

"hiss……"

The man gasped in pain, and asked anxiously, "Who are you?"

At this moment, Jiang Xiao and You Ji's eyes have adapted to the darkness.When You Ji met the eyes of the boy imprisoned by him, he froze suddenly.

"Ajiao..."

You Ji let go of the man who was subduing him in a daze. The boy rubbed his shoulders and looked at You Ji curiously, blinking his eyelashes slightly upturned and said, "How do you know my name?"

Jiang Miao was also shocked when he saw the other person's face clearly, those clear eyes could not deceive anyone, this young man was definitely A Jiao.But he looked like he was only 15 or 6 years old, and he didn't match Ajiao in age.

Unless... Jiang Xiao's pupils deepened, and what they met was the living Ajiao who hadn't been skinned in the past?

"You..." You Ji paused for a long time before hesitantly opened his mouth, and before he finished speaking, the young man made a silent gesture.

"Hush!" The boy Chong Youji made a please gesture, and said quietly, "Don't let people know that I sneaked out, or Dad will be angry."

He looked around for a while, then waved to You Ji and Jiang Miao, "Come with me."

It was still raining, and there was a flash of lightning in the sky from time to time.On this windy and stormy night, the Tang family's mansion looked darker and more gloomy than usual.

The picturesque young man walked in a hurry, looking left and right from time to time, appearing extremely cautious.

You Ji followed the young man's thin red shirt and looked at his bare|bare feet, the ankles were smooth and white, as if stepping on the moonlight.Occasionally, it makes a crisp sound when stepping on a place with stagnant water, which is particularly agile.

The young man led Jiang Xiao and You Ji to run through a rockery and a koi pond one after another, and finally stopped at a place that looked like a greenhouse, and pushed open the door with a "squeak".

"Come in." The boy turned his head and greeted, and then climbed up a wooden staircase.

Jiang Xiao and You Ji also hurriedly followed, and at the same time they did not forget to close the door of the greenhouse again.

……

What both of them didn't expect was that the second floor of the flower house was actually something strange.

First, through a long and narrow corridor with a width of one person, at the end there is a sliding door that looks a bit like a Japanese style.The boy pulled the door with a "swish--" and lifted the tatami-style floor, then slid down flexibly along a wooden stake.

"Well, this is my room!" The boy said as he walked to the wall and pulled the light cord, and the room was instantly filled with a layer of warm and soft orange light.

The boy stepped on the high-grade wool carpet with his bare feet, leaving two water marks on it indifferently.

"Are you my father's guests?" The young man sat on a deck chair covered with velvet cushions, swaying his feet up and down and asked, "My father rarely mentions me to outsiders, how do you know my name?" of?"

Jiang Miao originally planned to let You Ji speak first, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear him say a word.Turning his head for a while, he saw You Ji was standing motionless in front of the door, looking at the boy with deep eyes, like a piece of wood.

"Your father..." Jiang Miao considered his words, but decided to ask directly, "Is that Tang Deyong?"

The boy blinked noncommittally: "What do you think?"

"Your surname is Tang." You Ji whispered, "Your name is Tang Jiao."

The young man burst into laughter, and looked at You Ji's beautiful eyebrows: "You are really interesting, my father is Tang Deyong, what else can I have if my surname is not Tang?"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly frowned: "Oh, that's not right, why are you asking me again?"

Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "That's right, we are your father's friends who opened a pharmacy in the capital."

When the young man heard it, his eyes lit up immediately: "Are you able to heal illnesses?"

"The doctor is the doctor, and we are businessmen." Jiang Xiao said.

"Is that so..." The young man's eyes drooped instantly, and he looked so endearing that one couldn't help but want to comfort him.

"There's one more question you haven't answered yet." He looked up at Jiang Xiao again and asked, "Why do you know my name? It's definitely not from Dad."

"This..." This question is difficult to answer, Jiang Xiao thought to himself, it can't be said that we only met after you died, right?

"If I said, we met a long time ago. I saved you once, and we went shopping together, but you don't remember now..." You Ji frowned, staring at the boy intently and asked, "You Do you believe it?"

Jiang Miao: "..." Xin, he believed in you!

Unexpectedly, the young man was slightly stunned, and after a while he actually nodded his head and said, "I believe it."

"Look, how could you believe...huh?!!!" Jiang Miao was a little confused.

The boy dragged his chin and blinked and said, "There is no festival between us, why are you lying to me?"

"So you are not afraid that we are bad people at all?" Jiang Miao asked with a smile.

"We don't have holidays, why are you hurting me?"

"..."

Is this boy a fairy boy who has never experienced worldly contamination, or is he just a fool?Jiang Miao was a little shocked. He didn't expect Hua Ajiao, who has always been delicate and transparent, to be such a person in the past?

"I remember that Mr. Tang always said that he has no children under his knees." Jiang Xiao asked a step closer, "Can you tell me why?"

Hearing the words, the young man sighed softly and said, "I have been in poor health since I was a child, and I can't stand the wind and the sun. My father said that the outside world is too chaotic, and he was afraid that I would be hurt. So he kept me here all the time, and didn't let me I'm going out. The meals on weekdays are also delivered by the servants."

Speaking of this, the young man said happily again: "My father only said that I was captured by a weasel, and everyone believed it."

"That's not right." You Ji frowned, "Which father would imprison his son."

"Father is for my own good." Little Ajiao retorted with some dissatisfaction, "The reason why he started the medicine business is also to find a way to cure my illness one day. He must have a reason for doing so."

"Heh." You Ji snorted coldly.

Little Ajiao was not angry, and looked at You Ji with a smile: "As you said, which father would hurt his own flesh and blood?"

That's unlikely, boy.If you know that there is a place called "Isana" in this world, where people are completely unafraid of retribution, you will no longer feel this way.

Jiang Miao thought.

"Since you listen to your father so much, why did you run out tonight?" You Ji asked again.

"I'm hungry. The servant who was supposed to bring me food has not arrived. I was almost starved to death, so I went out to find something to eat. Unexpectedly, I just ate two bites of white sugar cake, and I was caught by you." Stop it." Little Ajiao pouted aggrievedly, then slapped his forehead and took out half of the white sugar cake from his bosom, and said happily, "Almost forgot about it!"

After finishing speaking, he chewed and chewed, and from time to time he sucked his fingers dipped in syrup.

He didn't lie, if someone could deliver his meals on time today, he would be a ghost.After all, it was Brother Xiaohua who went door-to-door to release smoke in person.

"Okay, then we'll go back after you eat," Jiang Xiao said.

At this time, there are still many doubts in his heart.But he also knew that asking this little Ajiao would not yield any results, so he immediately decided to leave first.

"Let's go, Sir You." Jiang Miao bumped You Ji, who was still hesitating to speak, with his arm, and teased, "Do you still have something to say to little Ajiao?"

You Ji's lips moved, and finally he frowned and turned his gaze to one side, and whispered to Xiao Ajiao: "Remember to wear shoes from now on, you will always catch a cold with bare feet. Your health is not good at all."

After hearing this, little Ajiao let out a chuckle: "Unexpectedly, although you look fierce, you are actually quite considerate."

Hearing this, You Ji froze slightly.

Ajiao said this later, and he was still very ashamed by it at the time.

You Ji's eyes softened, he sniffed his nose, turned around, and said to Jiang Miao, "I'm going back."

"Goodbye!" Xiao Ajiao ate the white sugar cake, sat on the plush chair and waved to the two of them.

And in the next second, before Jiang Miao could completely open the door, Xi Chi, who was soaked all over, suddenly appeared outside the room.

"Qichi?" Jiang Miao looked surprised, "How did you find it?"

Following his words, the little paper man stepped on Xichi's shoulder, half of his head protruding from the back of his neck, and pointed at himself proudly.

"Are you still proud?" Jiang Miao scolded with a smile when he saw this, "I asked you to find my little brother, but the one you found for me is Xiao Hua, it's just a word away!"

"I'm also a little brother." Qi Chi said in his deep voice.

"." No matter how you look at it, your special code is not small, okay, big brother?

Qichi looked over Jiang Miao's shoulder, calmly looked at little Ajiao who was sitting on the rocking chair, and then walked quickly towards him silently.

At this time, little Ajiao had just finished eating the white sugar cake, and was pouring tea into her cup with a pot.Seeing such a tall man walking straight towards him, he didn't show any timidity at all, instead he stared at Qichi thoughtfully and said, "Strange, I have never left the Tang family, no matter how much I look at you Is it familiar?"

Qi Chi didn't answer him directly, but turned his eyes from little Ajiao's face to the teacup in his hand, picked it up, sniffed it, and asked in a low voice, "What are you drinking?"

"Tea." Little Ajiao said, "Father specially asked someone to prepare herbal tea for me."

Qi Chi's eyes darkened: "If you don't want to be like this anymore, drowsy during the day and restless at night, I advise you to find a way to stop drinking this stuff."

Little Ajiao's face showed a touch of surprise: "You, how do you know my symptoms?"

"Also, don't mention to anyone that we met." Xi Chi paused and said, "We won't say either."

After speaking, he pulled Jiang Xiao and turned to leave the room.

You Ji glanced at little Ajiao again, gritted his teeth and followed quickly.
