my roommate is not human

Luo Ke dropped the leaf in his hand, patted Wilderness on the shoulder, turned around, and walked back.

"Luo Ke!" Kuang Ye eagerly reached out and grabbed his arm.

Luo Ke turned his head, Kuangye looked into his eyes intently, and said in a desolate and sad tone, "I want to know, have you ever loved me?"

Luo Ke broke free from his restraint lightly but not to mention his beak, an indifferent and mocking smile escaped from the corner of his mouth: "I used to like you very much."

Still, it's not love.

He knew it, and the wilderness knew it.

He watched Luo Ke's back, which was as determined as it was two years ago, disappear from his field of vision without hesitation.

Standing numbly for a long time, Kuang Ye knelt down on the ground, holding his head in his hands, and after a long time, he let out a mournful howl almost like a small animal being injured.

Yes, he knew that the reason why that person left was not because of Abba's opposition, not because of the existence of Ai Ling, but because of not enough love.

He raised his head and looked at the dark bamboo forest in front of him.

With the wind blowing by and the rustling of bamboo leaves, he clenched his fists and murmured to himself: "Luo Ke, I gave you a chance."

I gave you a chance, you gave it up yourself.

A stern look flashed in his eyes, and he smiled coldly and self-deprecatingly.

***

Stepping into the corridor on the west side of the second floor, Luo Ke saw Ye Xi sitting not far away with his knees curled up, his head drooping, staring at the mottled and peeling paint floor in a daze, like a pitiful abandoned dog.

After taking a few steps closer, he asked strangely, "Why are you sitting here if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"

Hearing his voice, Ye Xi suddenly raised his head, with a look of surprise and surprise on his face, he jumped up and rushed over: "You are finally back!"

He didn't know if the headless corpse in the room had left, he didn't dare to go in, he had already sat in the corridor for a long time, his hands and feet were numb, seeing Luo Ke was like seeing a life-saving straw.

Unprepared, Luo Ke was suddenly caught by him and fell heavily to the ground.

His back hit the solid wood floor hard, even though he was always able to bear it, he couldn't help grinning his teeth in pain, but he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and sneered: "What are you crazy about?!"

Meeting his cold and angry eyes, Ye Xi hurriedly got up, and quickly stretched out his hand to pull him up, hehe smiled apologetically: "Are you okay? I'm so excited to see you."

"I'm fine," Luo Ke shook off his hand, stood firm, and said sinisterly, "However, it's hard to say whether you will be fine."

Oh no, Luo Ke was really angry, Ye Xi hurriedly explained with gestures: "I slept until midnight, and suddenly found a headless ghost in the room, and you are not here..." He kept talking, his voice became quieter, because he saw the corner of Luo Ke's mouth. The sinister smile widened a bit.

"Are you sure you're not dreaming?!"

"Of course not!" Ye Xi shouted straight up.

"Well, you'd better pray that the ghost is still there." Luo Ke walked over quickly and pushed the door open.

Facts have proved that people are going to be unlucky, drinking cold water will stuff their teeth, let alone ghosts, there is not even a ghost.

Seeing Luo Ke's "I knew it" expression, Ye Xi wanted to cry, but almost swear: "I didn't talk nonsense, there really was a headless ghost just now."

"It's late, I'll settle the score with you tomorrow." Ignoring his excuse at all, Luo Ke took off his coat and went to bed under the quilt.

"Luo Ke, trust me..." Ye Xi was still muttering sullenly, but Luo Ke impatiently reached out and grabbed him, pulled him down beside him, and threatened nakedly, "Continue to chatter If you disturb my sleep, I will call a few ghosts to play with you all night."

Sticking out her tongue, Ye Xi quickly rubbed against him.

Anyway, with Luo Ke here, the hanging heart finally fell to the ground, whatever the hell, with Luo Ke standing in front of him anyway, it was more effective than any amulet that had been opened.

After tossing and tossing for most of the night, Ye Xi was also tired, smelling the familiar smell of body soap on Luo Ke's body, listening to his light and shallow breathing, and soon fell asleep, this time sleeping very soundly, without dreaming again.

When I woke up, it was already high in the sun.

Kuang Yun and his son were not seen at the breakfast table, but Ai Li.

She said that Kuang Yun was not feeling well and was recuperating in the room.

As for the wilderness, because Zuer's body will be brought back by the wandering husband tonight, he went to Mrs. Song's house early to help prepare the coffin for the coffin, and specially asked her to come over to cook breakfast and serve as their escort.

Ye Xi was very happy. Compared with the wilderness who had an affair with Luo Ke and seemed to be still entangled until now, he liked this carefree and careless woman more.

The two chatted very quickly, chatting endlessly, but left Luo Ke aside.

The wilderness didn't come back until dinner time. Of course, the dinner was cooked by Ai Li, which was much richer than when the wilderness was cooking.

Not only was there a skinny young hen that looked like a homing pigeon, but there was also a plate of salted bacon that was blackened by smoke, as if it had been dusted with ash from the bottom of a pot.

Ye Xi kept his nose shut in disgust, and simply ate his rice with his head down, trying to keep his eyes open so as not to upset his appetite.

He has only been in Xiangxi for a few days, and his waistline has already lost a lot of weight.

When getting up and changing clothes in the morning, Luo Ke still laughed at him for becoming more and more like a bamboo pole, which made him half dead with anger.

After dinner, Luo Ke sat in the hall chatting with Kuang Ye and Ai Li.

Kuang Yun went back to his room early to rest because he was unwell.

Ye Xi didn't want to face the wilderness, so he simply picked out Luo Ke's dirty clothes and socks that had been crumpled into several balls, took them with his own to the yard, and dug a well to wash them.

He still remembered that Luo Ke said that clothes should not be hung outside at night, as ghosts would borrow them to wear them, so he set up bamboo poles in the corridor, stretched them out to dry there, and then went back to the room to spread the quilt before calling Luo Ke back. sleep.

Wilderness saw his virtuous behavior from beginning to end, and his expression was inevitably gloomy.

During the day, I visited a lot of places with Ai Li, and even went to a few houses as guests. I felt tired when I put my head on the pillow. Ye Xi firmly grasped Luo Ke's arm, ready to have a good sleep.

Cough, although this move is very embarrassing, but he must not be blamed.

Who told Luo Ke to go out on a date with his old lover last night while he was asleep?

Ye Xi didn't really mind that Luo Ke slipped out for a date, but he was very, very minded when he was left alone in the room and had ghost visits at night.

That's why he made this move that even he himself felt very ashamed of.

Of course, Luo Ke objected to being held as a hand, but he couldn't get rid of him after a few vigorous shakes.

Ye Xi pretended to be asleep, and was desperately refusing to let go. Luo Ke had already seen his inexplicable stubbornness, so he had no choice but to let him go.

Holding Luo Ke firmly, Ye Xi slept very soundly, who knew that the sweet dream was sounding soundly, and was suddenly awakened by piercing crying.

He opened his eyes in annoyance, and heard a heart-piercing wail coming from outside the window. It was sharp and miserable, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and it was also like the wailing of a wounded beast.

It's not a dream!

The drowsiness disappeared immediately, Ye Xi hurriedly threw off the quilt and jumped out of bed, pulled on his shoes and ran to the window.

Open the old-style wooden lattice window with wooden bars, poke your head out and look out curiously.

In the dark night, I could vaguely see the lights not far away, and the shadows were shining brightly, as if a lot of people had gathered.

As the windows opened, the cries came in more clearly.

Luo Ke was also woken up, rubbed his painful forehead, cursed indistinctly, got up lazily, moved closer to Ye Xi, and stretched his neck to look out.

Vaguely, I saw a dark figure running towards the gate. Judging from the figure, it should be the wilderness, and hurriedly shouted: "The wilderness! What happened?!"

Hearing the cry, the wilderness turned to look at them, and replied with a little annoyance: "Woke you up? Mr. Walker just brought back Zul's body, and it is about to be buried in the coffin. I have to rush Go help, you guys go to bed first, it's okay."

Luo Ke suddenly thought of the mortician whom he met on Stanley Peak, and hurriedly said, "I'll go with you."

"This...isn't that good." Wilderness hesitated.

"It's okay, I know Zul anyway."

Seeing his insistence, Wilderness had no choice but to respond, "That's fine."

Luo Ke put on his coat and went out. Of course, Ye Xi refused to stay alone. It would be a disaster if the headless ghost came to wander around again last night, so it became a matter of course that the three of them walked together.

"Why do you have a funeral in the middle of the night?" Ye Xi kept rubbing his battering eyelids, tearing and yawning all the way.

Wilderness explained in a low voice: "The rule of exorcising corpses is to notify the family in advance before arriving at the destination, prepare the coffin with clothes and quilts, and when the 'God of Joy' arrives, immediately put on the shroud and cap for him and put it in the coffin." Shouki.

The whole process was undertaken by the walking gentleman, and no one else was allowed to interfere.

Because zombies come into contact with the yang energy of living people, there will be a danger of "shocking the corpse". Therefore, encoffining must be in the middle of the night, when the yin energy is strong. mourning. "

"It turns out that the dead are so troublesome." Ye Xi sighed.

"Yes, it is not easy to be born, and it is not easy to die peacefully." Wilderness sighed.

When the three of them arrived at Mrs. Song's house, people were already crowded inside and out, and a coffin with red and painted flowers was lying in the middle of the yard.

The current situation, obviously, has reached the mourning procedure.

Seeing the coffin, Ye Xi felt uncomfortable, it was embarrassing to say it, but in fact he was quite afraid of dead bodies and the like, and he didn't even dare to touch dead fish.

He didn't want to get too close, and stood far away from Luo Ke.

Across the swaying figure in front, I saw a male corpse lying in a red coffin.

Next to her was a thin woman in her fifties who was supported by two women of the same age. She was crying like hell, her voice was hoarse, and she rushed towards the coffin desperately: "Zur... Zu... Er..."

Crying heartbreakingly, there was no doubt that she was the deceased's mother, Mrs. Song.

Half a meter away from her, the ugly middle-aged man with a blank expression on his face was fiddling with incense candles to offer fruit. It was the exorcist that Luo Ke and Ye Xi met on the road. He was still wearing a green cloth cap and a green cloth gown.

In the coffin, Zuer closed his eyes tightly and his face was calm. It didn't look like he was dead, but just fell asleep.
