After falling into the shadow's trap

The walls in the corridor are still porcelain white. Because of the humid weather in the south, the surface looks foggy, like a layer of film.

The elevator happened to stop on the first floor. Xi Heng walked in and saw that the two rows of buttons did not move. He waited for the elevator door to close before pressing the floor.

The red numbers on the electronic display kept going up and down one by one, but her mood kept going down and down as the numbers changed.

Xi Heng was lost in thought when the silver elevator door in front of him suddenly parted from the middle.Her body tensed in an instant, and she suddenly looked up to see the number on the upper right corner, which showed 10th floor. She breathed a sigh of relief, but it hadn't arrived yet.

No one came up, and she was still the only one in the elevator.

The car was rising steadily, and the "rumbling" sound of the elevator running filled the entire space.

Even if I hope that time will pass slowly, and I hope that the elevator will never stop, it still makes a "ding--" sound conscientiously.Just like the sound when the oven finished baking, Xi Heng felt like he was a fish grilled on an iron plate, why couldn't he turn over under the sizzling sound of hot oil.

The door opened again.

Xi Heng didn't move.

She didn't go out until it was about to close again.

Little has changed here.

There is a crooked "Fu" on the door, which was written with a brush when she was very young.The bright yellow slippers on the shoe rack at the door were the ones she wore when she was at home.There was an umbrella hanging next to the shelf. When she rushed downstairs that day, she found that the ground outside was wet. She didn't want to go back upstairs again, so the umbrella was kept here.

I haven't come back for several years, and suddenly I feel like a world away.

Xi Heng stood at the door and listened attentively for a while, making sure that there was no sound in the house, and then reached into his pocket to feel for the key.

At this moment, a voice stopped her: "What are you doing?!"

"What, what??" Xi Heng was taken aback, and the key in his hand almost fell to the ground.

The door of the neighbor's house next door was suddenly opened, and an uncle whom he had never seen before walked out quickly and pointed straight at her hand.

"What are you holding in your hand? Things? You are sneaking around here, I warn you not to do bad things!"

Xi Heng was stunned by the sudden reprimand, and froze in place? It took him a long time to react, helpless and funny.She spread her palms open, showed her key to the righteous uncle, and explained: "I have the key, it's not a thief. Here... I used to live here."

The uncle glanced at the key in her hand, and looked suspiciously at Xi Heng: "I used to live here? What do I do? I've never seen you before."

"Then I haven't seen you when I lived here!" Xi Heng couldn't help laughing, and developed a good impression of the neighbor uncle, "It turns out that there is a young couple living next door, did they move away?"

"Well, they moved to a new house. I've lived in it for the past two years." Seeing how much she knew about the residents on this floor, the uncle was dubious. He stands by and supervises.

Xi Heng pointed the key at the keyhole in a good manner, smiled at the uncle, and pushed the finger of the key in to send——

its stuck.

With a bright smile on his face, Xi Heng widened his eyes in disbelief, and bent over to check.No matter what she did? Try, what? Try hard, but the key won't go in.

For a moment, Xi Heng only felt a "buzz" and his head became dizzy.

She couldn't believe that after she moved out, her parents ruthlessly changed the door locks at home.

Is this not leaving any room for the two sides?

Seeing that she failed to open the lock, the uncle who was about to step forward aggressively to arrest someone, noticed the expression on Xi Heng's face, and stopped in his stride.

He hesitated for a while, then spoke persuasively: "You are a little girl, you are fair and beautiful, what are you doing? Why don't you do such immoral things. If there is any difficulty in life, let us You can't break the law, can you? All right, since you attempted to commit a crime, I don't care about it anymore. You should hurry home? Go, remember? Find a decent job."

Xi Heng never felt that the world was so outrageous. Originally, she still held the expectation that she might take this opportunity to ease the relationship with her parents.

Who would have thought that her parents would do things so well? Absolutely!

The shock, anger, shame and sadness that could not be calmed down mixed with the constant churning, made her temporarily lose her ability to speak, no? What did she do to what the uncle said? Reaction.

She even wished she was a thief, better than finding out she was? A clown.

Leaning against the wall and taking a few deep breaths, Xi Heng thought a little sadly: Maybe it is possible? I posted an article on the Internet, and the title was "Leaving home? Walking back? After I went back, I found the door lock was changed. What? Feelings".

Trying to calm down, she felt that her feet were a little numb. She changed her feet and stepped on the ground lightly, and said weakly: "I'm really not a thief, I live in Here are my parents."

The uncle was stunned for a while: "I heard that they have a daughter who hasn't come back for a long time... No, since you are their daughter, why? Can't you open the door?"

"I also want to know, why? They? They even changed the locks."

Xi Heng looked down at his key, threw it casually, and threw it on the shoe rack, his voice sounded very tired: "Forget it, I didn't want to come today..."

"Maybe? What? Misunderstanding, I haven't seen them for several years? I will definitely miss you too," the uncle patted her on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's almost noon, your parents should come back? My family? Stay for a while, wait? Have a meal with them and have a good chat."

Xi Heng shook his head and quickly refused: "Thank you, but I don't want to disturb you anymore. I'll go back first."

As she spoke, she supported the wall behind her with her hands, and when she was about to stand up straight, she accidentally hooked onto the shelf next to her.

The shoe rack made of wood was a bit light and fluffy, and it shook after being hooked.Xi Heng was afraid that all the shoes on top would fall off, so he quickly reached out to help them.

The incident happened suddenly, she couldn't control the strength, the shoe rack fell in the opposite direction, and the shoes on the top of the rack fell to the ground.

Xi Heng squatted down and was about to pick it up when he suddenly found an envelope that fell from the shoe rack and lay on the ground.

Rearranging the shoes, she stood up with the envelope.It may be because it has been placed for too long and then pressed, the surface of the envelope is slightly yellowed, and there is a deep crease.

I checked the envelope over and over again. There was no recipient, address, or zip code on it. It was bare, and I couldn't see any writing.

How about this letter? Will it be at home? At the door?

Xi Heng found the seal, hesitant and curious, wondering if he could take it apart to see.

The uncle is also interested? He leaned over and took a look: "Have you seen it? Who sent the letter?"

Just as Xi Heng was hesitating, a familiar voice suddenly came from the direction of the elevator.

"Ding--"

She "swished" for a moment, turned her head and looked over, her heart beating loudly.

Under her nervous and flustered gaze, the elevator door slowly opened to both sides, and the figure of a middle-aged man appeared in sight.

Under the upper body shirt? Cotton linen shorts, a pair of black socks, and leather sandals.It looked like he had just returned from the supermarket with a printed shopping bag in his hand.Looking down at the phone, the black hair on his head was sporadically mixed with a few white strands.

Finding that the elevator door was open, he raised his head and was about to go out. He was stunned when he saw two people outside.

The uncle said "Ouch" and greeted him: "Old Xi, you are here."

The person called "Old Xi" nodded indiscriminately, and fixed his eyes on Xi Heng.

Xi Heng dug his nails into the palm of his hand, leaving a deep red mark.

She pursed her lips, and heard her sluggish voice:

"……dad."
