Spring Branches

As spring arrives, the weather gradually warms up, and the slightly chilly mountain breeze blows by, but it doesn't feel cold. The warm tide floats in the spring night, the warm moisture is dense, and the air is filled with the fragrance of unknown fruit trees.

Recently, the Lu Group suffered heavy losses due to a sharp drop in its stock price due to public opinion on the Internet. The Shen Group took the opportunity to pick up the bargain, and most people followed suit.

There was a strong wind on the night of March 3, and it rained the next day. The weather was gloomy. The drizzling rain hit the glass, making a clattering sound.

Tang Asi stood in front of the French window on the second floor with his arms folded, looking at the pedestrians coming and going outside. His heart was heavy, as stuffy as the weather.

Lu Yichuang came up from behind and stood side by side with Tang Asi.

"Are you in a bad mood?" Lu Yichuan asked.

Tang Asi nodded: "I looked at the weather forecast a while ago and it said it would rain recently."

Lu Yichuan didn't say anything, thinking about the dangers of this business trip. But this trip must be taken.

After a while, Tang Asi turned his head to look at Lu Yichuan and said, "Do I have to go on a business trip?"

Hearing this, Lu Yichuan smiled.

It turns out that she was checking the weather forecast not because of her work, but because she was worried that the rain would affect her travel. I felt warm in my heart.

Their relationship seemed to have taken another step forward.

"Yeah." Lu Yichuan said, "I have to go."

Tang Asi was a little depressed. "Then be careful on the road. You can call me when you are okay."

Lu Yichuan nodded: "I will leave Ana to look after you. If you have any problems, just go to him. If he can't solve it, I will come back."

When Lu Yichuan left in the afternoon, Tang Asi went to the airport to see him off in person. Like most people who parted, they gave each other a warm hug, watched each other check their tickets, and entered the entrance.

Sitting in the car on the way back, Tang Asi received an anonymous text message.

The content is: [It’s great, your death is coming. ]

After reading it, Tang Asi frowned involuntarily and called the number immediately.

The phone rang for a long time, but it always showed that the other party was busy.

After hanging up, when I called again, it just showed that the phone was turned off.

A bad feeling came over me.

Tang Asi said to Ana who was in the driver's seat: "I just sent you a mobile phone number on WeChat. Please check it for me as soon as possible. Tell me immediately after you find it."

"Okay, Sister Tang."

Tang Asi was afraid to sleep alone at night. Chen Xiao was supposed to come to keep her company, but her father had a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital, so she had to stay with her parents. Tang Shiyan went abroad for unknown reasons and would be back tomorrow.

Therefore, Tang Asi can only sleep alone tonight.

She turned on all the lights in the room and sat on the sofa in the living room to study the new design.

After being busy for a while, she felt thirsty and went to the refrigerator to find some water. She saw that there was no bottle of water in the refrigerator, not even a piece of fruit to quench her thirst. Then she remembered that she had found the refrigerator empty when she had dinner. She was going to tell Ana to go shopping, but she forgot again. She has been forgetting things lately.

Tang Asi found Ana's contact in the address book and called her.

The phone rang less than twice before someone picked it up.

Ana said: [What's wrong, Sister Tang. ]

Tang Asi said: [The refrigerator is empty. Remember to buy everything when you come over tomorrow morning.]

Ana said: [No need to send it tomorrow morning, I will send it over in half an hour.]

Tang Asi said: [Okay, it’s still early.]

After hanging up the phone, Tang Asi focused all his attention on the design draft again.

I had been busy for less than 10 minutes when the doorbell rang.

Ana? Did you buy it so quickly?

Confused, Tang Asi walked over and opened the door.

A fully armed man stood at the door, holding a box in his hands. He put the box down and left without saying anything.

"..."

There was a bad smell coming from the box.

It stinks, and has a hint of blood.

There was no man at home, so Tang Asi didn't dare to open it and look.

If the box contains unclean things, it will be too late to regret.

Tang Asi's heart was beating wildly.

She kicked the box further away and closed the door.

When I turned around and walked into the room, I felt that the whole room became gloomy. I felt uneasy and a sense of tension came over me.

Tang Asi took a breath, calmed himself down, and sat back on the sofa to draw the draft.

After a while, someone knocked on the door again from outside.

She shrank into the corner of the sofa in fear and started looking for her cell phone.

She remembered that she had just dropped her phone on the sofa, so how come she couldn't find it now? This was strange.

Less than 30 seconds after the door was quiet, someone knocked again, and an angry female voice came out.

"What's wrong with your house? The box at the door stinks so badly that the whole corridor is filled with a foul smell. Hurry up and put it away. If you can't, throw it in the trash can! Why do you leave it at the door? You have such poor manners!"

It was the neighbor next door, Tang Asi breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Asi walked out and said, "Sister, you are wrong. This is not mine."

"What's not yours?!" the middle-aged woman said angrily, "I just saw that person giving the things to you."

After saying that, the middle-aged woman looked at Tang Asi from head to toe with a strange look, her eyes full of disdain and disgust.

"Then did you see me take it?" Tang Asi asked back, his tone was not very good.

The middle-aged woman was unreasonable: "I don't care, he put the things at your door anyway, you should deal with it! If you can't do it, call the property management."

Tang Asi said: "Then you can yell! Even if the property management comes, this matter can't be blamed on me."

Finally, the middle-aged woman called the property management, who was followed by a strong security guard.

As soon as the two got out of the elevator, they subconsciously frowned and covered their noses with their hands.

This smell is really strong.

From the sour smell at the beginning to the smell that cannot be described in words now.

After standing for a while, Tang Asi felt a headache from the stench.

The property manager said solemnly, "Why don't you clean the things out? The whole corridor smells terrible."

The middle-aged woman rushed over to say before Tang Asi: "Is there anyone who can take care of this family? They throw garbage at the door and make my house stink!"

Tang Asi glared at the middle-aged woman, "Shut up."

"Watch your words, little girl." The middle-aged woman scolded.

The property manager said, "You two stop arguing."

Then he looked at the security guard and said, "Throw this box out."

The security guard said "hmm", bent down and picked up the box.

As soon as I picked it up, the base of the box cracked.

A bloody head rolled out from inside...
