Strange Story of Strange House

"What did you do?" Lou Qi was always good at focusing on the key points, and he immediately asked what Lin Chi was thinking.

"I lent him my eyes." Di Deng tilted his head and smiled slyly at Lou Qi.

"Lend it to me?!" Lin Chi looked at the floor lamp in surprise. When he learned that he had lost his eyesight, he had imagined countless ways to recover, but he never thought that he would get such an answer.

Di Deng is good at perceiving people's hearts, so he naturally knows what Lin Chi is thinking.She looked into Lin Chi's eyes, which were full of tenderness: "For the past 15 years, I have been watching the world through your eyes.

"I have a heavy responsibility for cause and effect, and I can't leave for a moment. But as I get older, I will get tired. Occasionally, I want to be self-willed and escape to the world to relax. The last time I left here was 15 years ago. That's when I met your.

"The first time I saw you, you were just that small, small, with a dirty little white cat in your arms. It was a stray cat, and the children in the neighborhood stoned her , It was you who brought her back. You were only five years old at that time, and you were the kindest child I have ever seen.

"The kitten was frightened, and she was dishonest in your arms. You were too weak to hold the struggling cat. She broke free from your arms and rushed to the road. The car on the road frightened her. She trembled and sat down. I was at a loss in the middle of the road, and in the end you went to bring her back. It’s also my fault, taboo to meddle in world affairs, and let a child pass the road alone. When you came back, you were accidentally knocked down by a car and hit your head on a stone on the ground. I When I picked you up, you were still protecting the kitten in your arms."

"I caused you to lose your eyesight, so I will lend you one eye. A kind child like Xiao Chi should take a good look at the world." The tone of the ground lamp was like a silver bell, striking on Lin Chi's heart crisply , "In the past 15 years, you have never let me down. Through your eyes, I have seen many beautiful things. The beauty in a person's heart can be reflected in the eyes."

Di Deng raised his hand and gently stroked Lin Chi's eyelids: "You have very beautiful eyes."

The feeling of being affirmed brought tears to Lin Chi's eyes.For so many years, being abandoned by his biological parents was like a dark cloud, hanging heavily over his head, and every time he raised his head, he would be overwhelmed and breathless.

The lamp has been watching him for 15 years, how can he not understand his silence: "You know? Humans always have their own preferences, but it doesn't mean that there is something wrong with what they don't like. Your biological parents put all their love I gave it to your brother, not because you are not good enough, but because your fate is not deep enough. They only have the grace of procreation, but no nurturing. Besides, if they hadn't abandoned you, you would not have met Huaiyin, and you would not have met Xiao Pray... the grievances and pains I suffered when I was young will become the strength to pursue happiness in the future."

…………

When leaving the castle, Lin Chi's mood obviously improved a lot. He hugged Rainbow Dash who had finally woken up, coaxing the child to giggle.

At the end he asked Lou Qi: "Why did you think of bringing me to see the lamp today?"

"I know she lost an eye 15 years ago, and hearing you talk about a woman in chains, I assumed you met her. She has no merit, but she does a good job of instructing people. "

"Thank you!" Lin Chi suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Lou Qi's cheek, "Thank you for taking the trouble to enlighten me, I'm fine now, but I don't know if I have the honor to listen to Lou Meiren tell me about the ground lamp , I’m curious as to what kind of person is sharing eyes with me.”

"Earth lamp means a bright lamp that illuminates the earth. Since the creation of chaos, the heaven and the earth began to run a set of laws, which contained all the life and death rewards and punishments of all things in the three realms. Over a long period of time, the huge laws gradually differentiated into There are two parts. One is the rules for the operation of all things, and the other is the rules for rewards and punishments for all things. The former is what people usually call 'destiny', while the latter refers to 'karma'.

"The original shape of the ground lamp is a huge bright lamp, and the wall of the lamp is engraved with the life trajectory of all things in the world. If the merit is greater than the demerit, we will be rewarded, and if the demerit is greater than the merit, we will be punished.

"Since the law has been in operation, the ground lamp has been operating for tens of thousands of years. She is tired of using the words on the lamp wall to feel the world. She wants to see with her own eyes the world she has guarded for thousands of years. So she left A part of myself has turned into today's ground lamp."

Lou Qi calmly returned a kiss to the shocked Lin Chi's face: "If you are not good enough, how can you become her eyes?"

Lin Chi blushed and turned slightly to prevent Lou Qi from seeing him. He didn't know whether it was because he was kissed back or because he heard his lover's straightforward compliment.Lin Chi hugged Yun Bao's soft body, and when the child saw him turn his head to the side, he pawed at his face with his tiny paws like lotus roots.Lin Chi lowered his head, Yun Bao's obsidian eyes reminded him of that girl named Xiao Bai, her eyes were also beautiful black.

"Xiaobai...is the girl we met at the door really the cat I saved?"

"Yes, after you hurt your eyes, Di Deng brought her back as a companion." Lou Qi said with a smile, "You were the one who named her Xiaobai."

"Huh?! I don't remember." Lin Chi said in surprise.

"You were young at that time, and when you saw her covered in white, you called her Xiaobai. She also determined that name with all her heart, and she was unwilling to change it several times. She said that this is the master who gave her a new life." Give her a name."

After listening to Lou Qi's words, Lin Chi subconsciously turned his head to look at the ancient castle that had disappeared at the end of his vision, his heart was slightly hot, and his whole body was full of strength.For Lin Chi, who has low self-esteem, Di Deng and Xiao Bai watched him in the dark for 15 years, but they still have full trust and care for him, which is already the best affirmation for him.

He came to Lou Qi's side, held the man's hand with graceful knuckles, and asked with a smile, "Have you and Di Deng known each other for a long time?"

"It can be said that the lamp watched me grow up. My family, as the sanctioner of the dark world, serves the lamp and executes the 'punishment' part of the rules for her."

"Then why did you come to our school to open a noodle restaurant?" Lin Chi asked curiously. Lou Qi didn't care about that restaurant at all, and he didn't look like he was relying on a noodle restaurant to make ends meet.

"It's for..." Lou Qi paused slightly, "Supervise Yunlou."

"Huh?!" Lin Chi was taken aback, "Aunt Yun and the others are good people!"

"I know, you'll know when I see you." Lou Qi was ordered to guard K City, but before he could do anything, he ran into Lin Chi.After meeting Lin Chi, he knew that he didn't need to do anything else. How could a real evil spirit raise a child as exquisite as Lin Chi.

Looking at Lin Chi's anxious eyes, Lou Qi laughed, "Don't worry, I didn't do anything."

Lin Chi's trust in Lou Qi seemed to be instinctive. When Lou Qi said it, he believed it without any doubt.He didn't even bother with this topic, and changed the question in an instant: "Why are there so many chains wrapped around the ground lamp? I don't think she looks very comfortable herself."

"..." Lou Qi was stunned for a moment, hesitating whether to say it or not, Lin Chi saw that he was hesitant to speak, and was even more curious, so he kept asking.

"Because she...is not very reliable." Lou Qi still satisfied Lin Chi's curiosity after debating for a while, "It's fine to slip away to the human world to relax during work hours, but she also does some unreliable things every time. Picking it up was already the most harmless thing she ever did. Before, she brought a pit bull back to the old castle. The bull went crazy and knocked down the load-bearing wall of the old castle. Half of the old castle collapsed. Always come to clean it up for her In a fit of rage, the fate of the endgame tied her up with chains, and made her honestly reflect on herself."

Lou Qi said with a helpless face, Lin Chi was overjoyed to hear it.At the time of the "Keng Ge incident" where the two gossiped and touched the floor lamp, one person and one cat in the castle were also having a conversation.

"Deng, was it really because he was kind that you saved Xiaochi back then?" Xiaobai knew this woman who had lived with her for 15 years very well.

"Half and half." Di Deng tilted his head and thought for a while, "A kind-hearted little lady, still so cute, I only noticed him because of this, so it accounts for half of it."

"What about the other half?"

"At that time, I owed... No, at that time I did the math and found that he was Xiaoqi's destiny, and Xiaoqi was also considered to be the person I watched grow up. How could I not help his wife when he was in trouble? So I generously lent him my eyes."

noob:"……"

During the period when Lou Qi brought Lin Chi to visit Di Deng, Mr. Shen's "revenge" plan also progressed to the final stage.

After Lin Chi left, Lin's father and Lin's mother had a big fight. Lin's mother sat on the sofa and sobbed, crying and criticizing Lin's father.Father Lin silently leaned against the corner of the wall and smoked a cigarette. The cigarette butt fell to the ground. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer. With a pinch of the cigarette, he rushed over and shouted at Mother Lin: "Don't cry! Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry all day long!" If you know how to cry, don't you bother!"

Mother Lin was taken aback by the yelling, and then she cried even louder: "You still have the guts to yell at me?! What right do you have to yell at me?! When you got angry with Xiaochi, did you consider me and Xiaojun? Xiaojun Jun is in his third year of high school, if he doesn't pass the exam, his life will be ruined!"

"you shut up!"

"I won't shut up, there's no way I can live this day! He's finally willing to come back, who are you showing me by slapping the table and staring..." Mother Lin held the paper tube, and began to settle old scores with Father Lin.

However, at this moment, the sudden ringing of the doorbell interrupted the quarrel between the two.Mother Lin responded, wiped away her tears and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was a handsome young man, with slightly curly chestnut hair filled with a breath of sunshine, he raised a bright smile: "I passed by here, and saw the ghostly spirit here, so I came to visit. I don't know the owner Does the family need help?"

He put his hand on his chest and saluted, a huge reverse cross scar on the back of his hand.

"excuse me, you are?"

"My humble servant is a pastor." The man smiled slightly, "The master must have been troubled for a long time, I can help you."

Mother Lin was very hesitant. She didn't know whether to believe a stranger's words, but thinking of Lin Jun who was about to take the college entrance examination, she finally gave way to the door: "Sir, please come in."

The pastor entered the door and looked around, a smile appeared in his dark green eyes.Seeing this, Mother Lin hurriedly asked, "Can you help us? We have searched for many people, including celestial masters and temples, but none of them are of any use."

"Of course," the pastor gave a decent smile, "that's why I'm here."

Father Lin obviously didn't believe the frivolous-looking man in front of him: "You don't come here to cheat money, do you? Let me tell you, we have no money."

"I am a devout clergyman." The pastor frowned, as if dissatisfied with being so doubted, he stretched out a finger, put it between Lin Mu's eyebrows, and pondered for a moment, "Your situation is that you were forcibly With the eyes of the sky opened, the little ghosts at home are nothing to be afraid of, they are just attracted by the eyes of the sky. I will give you a cross and hang it on the door, so the little ghosts will not dare to bother you anymore."

"How much is this?" Mother Lin hesitated, not daring to pick up the silver cross in the pastor's hand.

"As I said, I'm a priest, and I don't take any money for this thing."

Hearing what the pastor said, Mother Lin took the cross with confidence and hung it behind the door. The gloomy feeling at home disappeared instantly.She and Father Lin looked at each other, tore off the cloth covering the mirror, and the ubiquitous red-clothed female ghost disappeared at this time.

The expressions of Lin's father and Lin's mother changed instantly, and they also became respectful towards the pastor: "Master, is this the solution?"

"Of course not." The pastor frowned, and Lin's father and Lin's mother also became nervous. Even the real master in front of him frowned. The matter at their stall seemed to be very difficult.

The pastor sighed softly: "Once the eye of the sky is opened, it can never be closed again. As long as the eye of the sky is still there, there will be countless evil spirits and ghosts following the eye of the sky to come here..."

"Then what should we do?" Mother Lin panicked when she heard this, "Master, please help us! We still have to work and support our family! How can we live without seeing these things all the time!"

Hearing the words, the pastor pondered for a while, and made Lin's father and Lin's mother's heart hang high, and then slowly opened his mouth: "It's not that there is no way at all, the sky eye can't be closed, but it can be transferred. The three of you in your family can transfer the eyes of three people to one person, and the other two will be liberated."

"Ah..." Lin's father and Lin's mother panicked when they heard this.After looking at each other for a long time, Father Lin finally said in embarrassment: "Master, there is no other way? None of us want to see this ghost!"

"This is the only way. Of course, the status quo can also be maintained. You can all go to hell, and you can be companions. Can you discuss it?" After dropping a depth charge, the pastor sat down on the sofa leisurely and gave himself back Pour a cup of tea.

Lin's father and Lin's mother looked at each other, and they both saw the panic in each other's eyes. The room was so quiet that there was a sound of needles falling, and a sense of anxiety spread between the two of them.In the end, Lin's father put out his cigarette butt and made up his mind: "I need to earn money to support my family, Xiaojun is still young, the child's mother... I think I can only wrong you."

"No, the father of the child who can't do it, I'm afraid."

"Then do you want me to come? I still have to support the family! Can you replace me? Or do you want Xiaojun to come?" Father Lin looked at the woman who had spent more than 20 years in front of him, his eyes were full of calculations.

Mother Lin couldn't speak for a moment, so she had to sit on the sofa and cry, and she was afraid of the pastor's existence, so she didn't dare to cry aloud, sobbing and crying was annoying.

Father Lin couldn't bear her crying: "Don't cry! Isn't there no way?"

Lin's mother refused to let go: "I have spent most of my life with you, why do you have the heart to treat me like this? When you insisted on driving Xiao Chi away, I should have seen what kind of person you are!"

Lin's father suddenly realized, and regardless of the quarrel with Lin's mother, he said to her with surprise: "Yes! Isn't there Lin Chi? I have raised him for a few years anyway, and it's up to him to repay us. Anyway... ...Anyway, he has seen ghosts for so many years, he must have gotten used to it, isn't this everyone's happy!"

Hearing Father Lin's words, the pastor raised the corner of his mouth behind the teacup, and pulled out a weird smile——Mr. Shen's final immunity, you have already used up~

…………

The next day, Lin Chi was blocked at the school gate by Lin's mother again.The woman first apologized to him, saying that it was Lin's father who was wrong that day and made him feel wronged. Lin's father had already realized his mistake, and then began to hesitate and hesitate to speak.

"What on earth are you going to tell me?" Seeing Mother Lin's gesture, Lin Chi's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition floated up. He took a step back, away from his biological mother.

"Xiao Chi, only you can help us this time." Mother Lin wanted to cry, Lin Chi's eyes were inherited from her, and she looked the most touching when she was crying or not, but Lin Chi couldn't feel any pity in his heart.

"How can I help you?"

Seeing that Lin Chi's attitude was a little loose, Mother Lin breathed a sigh of relief. She showed a gentle smile, took Lin Chi's arm, and told him what happened yesterday in a soft voice: "That master is very special. Ling, as soon as his cross was placed at home, the ghosts disappeared immediately. The master said, as long as we transfer the eyes of three people to one person, everything will return to normal."

Unlike Mother Lin's elation, Lin Chi immediately turned cold after hearing this: "So?"

Seeing Lin Chi's cold face, Mother Lin seemed to have been splashed with cold water. After hesitating for a moment, she still gritted her teeth and continued, "Master said that receiving the Sky Eye will not cause harm to people."

"..." Lin Chi shook off Mother Lin's hold on his hand, and walked away. At this moment, he felt a little sick.

"Xiao Chi, please help us!" Mother Lin pleaded behind him.

"Why me?" Lin Chi stopped in his tracks, "Since it won't cause any harm, anyone can do it, whether it's you, Dad or Xiaojun, why do you have to come to me?"

"Your dad has to work, Xiaojun is still so young, I...I'm scared, I don't want to see those things."

"Did I just want to? I want to go to school too!" Lin Chi looked away, unwilling to look at the so-called mother who looked humble and flattering in front of him, but was actually plotting against him.

"You've been watching it for so many years, we think you're probably used to it..." Mother Lin felt far-fetched as she spoke, seeing Lin Chi's indifference, she paused, "I'll give birth to you as a reward." .Can you help us? Mom has already asked the master, and it really won’t do you any harm.”

"That's why you came to me six years later, right?" Lin Chi sneered, feeling sad for the self who had been shaken by her arrival.

"No, I really want to take you back. I didn't realize how much I did to you until I saw the devil." Mother Lin said in a low voice, "Xiao Chi, just help us, we are now I understand your feelings very much, and I will never be afraid of you again. You saved your father and your brother, and they will accept you sincerely! Our family can live together happily! Can you understand, as my mother painstakingly?"

Noticing the change in Lin Chi's expression, Mother Lin didn't bother to distinguish carefully. She showed a loving smile and began to tell Lin Chi about the beautiful life she envisioned.It's a pity that Lin Chi was completely unmoved, he looked at his "mother" quietly, and then suggested: "How about this, I will help you one last time, and then we will settle the matter, from now on, please don't bother me again life. Do you agree?"

"Ah?" Lin's mother was taken aback, "Xiao Chi, what's wrong with you? Are you angry? You are my child, why are you going to get into trouble with me!"

Lin Chi laughed back angrily: "You have forgotten that you abandoned me at the beginning, it's okay, my condition is here, if you agree, even if I repay your kindness of childbearing, from now on, we will be the same It's a stranger."

"Xiao Chi, why do you do this? It's not a difficult task for you. If it's harmful to you, mother would never bring it up to you. The master has assured me again and again that it will never cause any harm to you." , I know you blamed me for abandoning you, but I already knew I was wrong! After you finish this, our family can live happily together, isn’t it good? Why refuse! "

"Heh," Lin Chi sneered, "A happy family? Is there a place for me in it? Haven't I been the redundant one since I was a child?"

"Xiao Chi, don't be like this. Mom has already apologized to you. Don't hold on to it, okay?" Lin's mother was a little helpless, because Lin Chi couldn't suppress her emotions and attracted the attention of the people around her. Looking around, he smiled apologetically, and then reached out to grab the corner of Lin Chi's clothes.

Lin Chi dodged sideways, his hands clenched into fists trembling slightly, he told himself that he didn't care about these people anymore, but his heart was still unstoppably sad.

"Little Chi, are you okay?"

"Do you really think that taking me home is a kindness to me? Do I owe you all? Should I repay it with my peaceful life? Let me tell you, Mrs. Lin, I don't care about you and your family! "

"Lin Chi! Why are you talking to your mother! I gave birth to you and raised you for so many years. Even if I did something wrong, I have apologized. Do you need to hold on to it? What's wrong with contributing a little to your family? Don't be too selfish!"

"Is it selfish if I don't agree to you?" Lin Chi sneered, "Okay, as long as you promise that you will never intervene in my life as a 'mother' from now on, and you will never have anything to do with me again, I will with you."

"Xiao Chi..." Mother Lin felt a little sad, "Does it have to be so extreme?"

"Make a decision, Mrs. Lin."
