Those years of bking for green tea apprentices

"I didn't steal!"

Zhao Wanwan woke up suddenly from her sleep, holding a small shark pillow in her arms that she used to hold, and the shark's white teeth were facing her face.She raised her face from the shark's embrace, remembering the little fire as cold as snow in her dream, sighed suddenly, and stepped into the shark again: "Really... didn't steal anything..."

The sound of people putting on clothes rustled in the living room, followed by the sound of slippers rubbing against the ground, Yang Yan knocked on the door lightly with the flashlight of her mobile phone in her hand and asked, "Xiao Wan, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

"Mom—" Zhao Wanwan replied, "It's okay! It's almost twelve o'clock, you should go to bed quickly!"

"Oh."

Ever since Zhao Wanwan woke up from the vegetative state, Yang Yan often heard the sound of her waking up from a nightmare.Although it is very fortunate that the daughter came back from the closed gate of hell, it is not good for the child to keep doing this nightmare.

She tentatively asked Zhao Wanwan more than once what kind of dream she had, but Zhao Wanwan was very tight-lipped and never revealed any clues.Yang Yan put on her slippers and went back to the bedroom with a flashlight in hand, went to the side of the bed and lay down.

She didn't have time to turn on the light, and Zhao Wanwan's father, Zhao Gang, didn't turn on the light either. Looking at the faint light she came back from, he asked, "Did Wanwan have a nightmare again?"

"Yeah, I don't know what's going on..."

"Could it be something evil?" Poor parents in the world, although Zhao Gang was influenced by his mother in the early years, he believed in fatalism.But his belief is actually limited to the surface, and he doesn't believe in some mysterious things in his bones.But during the two or three months when Zhao Wanwan fell into an inexplicable coma and then woke up suddenly, he really suffered enough from the pain of heartache, went to the doctor in a hurry, and even started to believe in these ghosts and ghosts.

Yang Yan also had a drum in her heart. She is a party member and a materialist who is more loyal than her husband.Her mother's family is all civil servants except herself. They were born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze. When did they believe in such strange powers?But in this situation, what can we do if we don’t believe it?

And this time Zhao Wanwan woke up - Yang Yan always had a strange premonition - it seemed that there was another mystery.

The few people I met at school that day might be able to help.

Yang Yan said sideways while thinking: "I went to Xiaowan's school some time ago."

"Why did you go to Wanwan's school? Didn't the police say that it has nothing to do with the school? Besides, if you go to school to make a fuss, will it help Wanwan wake up? You never thought that if Wanwan woke up , How will she behave in school in the future?"

"Tsk." Yang Yan picked up the pillow and slapped Zhao Gang twice in the face, "Shut up, shut up! You think you know the truth, don't you? I'm also a party member, so I know the seriousness! I just went to the school to ask about the situation. Yes, my daughter went to school in the morning and it's like this in the evening, can't I ask?!"

Zhao Gang avoided the pillow and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, you ask you! What did you ask?"

"I didn't know what was going on that day. When I got to school, I thought that our Xiaowan was fine when she came home. I thought of her pushing a bicycle into the school gate, thinking of her reading in the classroom, and thinking of her appearance at school. In every corner, I just want to cry." As she spoke, Yang Yan couldn't help but shed tears again, pinching the sleeve of Zhao Gang's pajamas to wipe her tears, causing Zhao Gang to hand her a tissue, "...I don't know What's going on, I really want to cry, as if my daughter is looking at me in the sky, I feel uncomfortable if I don't cry."

"and then?"

"Then I cried in front of the teacher's office building. Hey, none of this is important. The important thing is that when I was crying, an old man rushed up, took a business card and stuffed it into my hand, saying He is from a national Daoist organization and has a formal qualification certificate. He said that there was black air between my brows and my life was in danger, and then he was escorted out by the security guards."

"It's normal," Zhao Gang comforted her. "This kind of liar is very good at observing words and expressions. If you cry as soon as you arrive at school, they must be able to see what happened to our family at a glance. He didn't pester you anymore. Bar?"

Yang Yan lowered her eyebrows and shook her head: "No, he never appeared again after that. But I always felt that something was wrong. It seemed that not only our family, the teacher and the old liar were present, but there seemed to be two other people, but I can't seem to remember..."

The doubt in her eyebrows is not fake. Zhao Gang has lived with his wife for more than 20 years, which is still clear. Except for closing one eye, it is extremely strict in other aspects.Yang Yan said yes, then there really is.

"Who in our family went with you at that time? If there are really two important people, ask them if they remember. Now that Wan has woken up, let's go to school after a few more days, I think it's almost the final exam, so don't delay your studies."

"I brought a few distant relatives there, and nothing else. By the way, there was also my sister's child named Zhang Chen. I was in the second year of high school this year, and I was in the same school as Xiaowan. At that time, Zhang Chen accompanied me to the office building, and because of this, I missed a class."

Yang Yan remembered very clearly that it was indeed Zhang Chen who helped her up from crying, and then they entered the office with the teacher from the Academic Affairs Office of Chongming No. [-] Middle School.But there was always something that was not quite right, and she couldn't remember it herself.After thinking about it for a while, I really couldn't remember it, so I turned over and grabbed my phone to send a message to my sister: "Sister! Xiaowan woke up, let's have a meal as a family, call Shang Chenchen .”

the next day.

Zhang Chen: "Auntie, I really don't remember the two extra people who came out that day. Look, let me restore the scene for you—" Zhang Chen took out a few peanuts from the table and put them in two On the empty plate in front of him, "This is the two of us. Opposite is Mr. Wang and the others, and then on the left is the security guard, and turning around is where the old liar is standing."

"Don't you think," Yang Yan also picked up two peanuts and placed them between them and the liar old man, "There used to be two people in this place?"

"Hiss—Auntie, I don't think you don't tell me, but I also think this place seems a bit empty when you say that."

Yang Yan agreed: "Right?"

"But I don't seem to remember clearly. How about this? I'll go back and ask Mr. Wang and Brother Security to see if they have any impressions." Just as she was talking, Zhao Wanwan's best friend was already waiting at the door of the shop. It's time for Zhang Chen to go to meet him, so he can only put down the peanuts in his hand and deal with it, "—here we come! Auntie, don't worry, since Xiaowan is awake, it means she survived the catastrophe, and there must be a future." Fu, it's just a bit of a nightmare, don't worry."

Seeing Zhang Chen looking around, arranging the figures of Zhao Wanwan's acquaintances to sit down, Yang Yan's voice had an unavoidable sense of oldness: "Sister, sometimes I really envy you, Chenchen is so capable, don't you?" Like our Xiaowan, I am really, oh... my heart is broken for her."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings." Handing Yang Yan a glass of juice, Zhang Chen's mother sat down beside her, "It's enough for our elders to see that they don't grow crooked. As Chen Chen said, a little nightmare, if you really I feel that I have hit the evil, so I will help you hire an elder from the Taoist sect to do the practice. However, I heard that an elder from the Taoist sect died recently, and I don’t know who died, and who knows if he will be able to take over the work.”

That night, Zhao Wanwan fell asleep with her baby shark in her arms. In her dream, she saw the handful of flames like snow again. A pair of eyes gradually appeared in the flames. Those eyes seemed to be able to speak: "What did you steal?"

Zhao Wanwan was used to it, and she even felt a little tired when she ran away. She just hugged the flame tightly and woke up yelling "I didn't steal it" loudly.After waking up, Zhao Wanwan looked down at the pillow in her arms, sighed and sat up.

"I said it all, I didn't steal it." She muttered in a low voice, slowly got up from the bed, walked to the bookshelf next to her desk, and opened a box, "I just picked it up on the road, someone asked me to take it." Just put it on."

As soon as the wooden box was opened, a soft light appeared, and Zhao Wanwan reached out to take out the contents of the box.

It was a fire, a pulsating flame was burning in her hand, and the orange outer flame licked Zhao Wanwan's palm one after another, burning quietly.She couldn't help reaching out and stroking the flames, with an infatuated look on her face: "Be good, be good..."

"Didn't you steal it?" The sudden voice in the room startled Zhao Wanwan.

"You, who are you?"

A pair of eyes suddenly appeared in the air, as if the pair of questioning eyes in the dream came to life: "Taking without telling is considered stealing, didn't your family teach you? Taking things that don't belong to the human world , you still want to get out alive?"

"I didn't steal it." Zhao Wanwan still insisted, "I didn't steal it. I just... just someone asked me to help him keep it."

Those eyes asked, "Who?"

"Yes……"

Zhao Wanwan tried hard to recall the identity of that person, but all she could think of was a hand like a dead tree branch, which was wrinkled with skin like paper and handed the wooden box to her. You are dead. Don’t open it, remember, I will only say this sentence for the last time, don’t open it, once you open it, your life will be very difficult to save. You help me save it for 20 years, 20 years later , I’m here to get it. Remember, my name is…”

The hoarse voice gradually faded away, Zhao Wanwan glanced at the wooden box in her hand, and said in a low voice, "He said his name is Hun Qing."
