The house is money, the story is life

A year and three months ago.

Zhou Tang curled up on his little office chair, his fingers flying like flying fingers, and he was fighting for his dream career again - knocking on his novel with hundreds of thousands of reviews and few reviews.

He feels that his hand speed has been much faster recently, and he knows that this has a lot to do with the appearance of Xia Shi-that annoying monster, recently received some ghosts and ghosts similar to him at home every day, asking about their lives stories before sending them away.As his "typist", Zhou Tang had to listen to those chattering and even confusing stories with him, and then organize them into words and give them to Xia Shi for him to eat.This sounds not difficult, but it is actually quite time-consuming, especially some ghosts and ghosts who talk more nonsense than the author of this article. The same thing can be repeated several times. It will be gone in an hour, not to mention the follow-up finishing work.

The result of this is that most of Zhou Tang's energy is taken up by Xia Shi, and his own time is greatly reduced.But he is still delusional about maintaining the daily thick and long updates to retain readers who don't know which dimension he is in, so he can only explode infinite potential in a limited time, and improve his hand speed again and again. , The voice when typing seems to be murderous.

But amidst this mass of murderous aura, that black shadow quietly came behind him.

Zhou Tang rolled his eyes and found a distorted figure poured out of the glass at his hand.He didn't think it was too strange - he was used to the ghosts and ghosts coming and going in the house these days - he just said casually: "Xia Shi is not here now, please sit by the side for a while. Please don't make a mess Move something."

The shadow didn't respond.Zhou Tanghun didn't care, he just said that his mind was confused and he couldn't understand people's words, so he continued typing on his own.Suddenly felt a strong chill wrapping up from behind, penetrating the skin and penetrating the bone marrow, and immediately shivered from the cold, and looked aside, there was half a glass of cloudy ice in the glass water glass, and the body of the glass was crackling. There was a crackling sound.

Zhou Tang frowned, moved his fingers, first quickly saved the document on the screen, and then slowly reached for the mobile phone on the table, but his tone of indifference and perfunctory was still in his mouth : "Sir, can you please control yourself? Xia Shi will be back soon. If you have anything to say to him, you will have to pay for any damage to other things."

"Who told you that I'm here to look for that guy?" The black figure laughed lowly, with a charming tone and a gentle tone, but there was a layer of chill in his voice, like a flowered handkerchief wrapped with an ice pick. The pattern is beautiful, but it can't stop the ice water inside from melting and oozing out, hitting people's hearts drop by drop, making them feel cold every time.

He—or she, was still smiling slightly.The figure who was standing a few steps away suddenly came to Zhou Tang's back. His white and slender fingers touched Zhou Tang's shoulder, and his charming voice came along with the chill in his palm. He got into Zhou Tang's body without hindrance: "The person who called me here, isn't it you?"

With a "snap", the computer screen suddenly went dark, and Zhou Tang's terrified expression and the innocent smile of the woman behind him were reflected on the pitch-black screen—a very innocent smile indeed.A face with nothing but a smiling mouth, like a cracked egg.

The egg with the long mouth is still talking... Between the opening and closing of the red lips, the scattered teeth can be vaguely seen.

She said: "Your loneliness looks delicious—I just don't know, what is your own taste like?"

Hang Yiwei's house.now.

Zhou Tang stared at the figure of the flying bird that was gradually going away, but he reacted in a moment, opened the drawer of the desk, and shouted at the wood spirit who was resting inside: "Come out, go after it!"

The wood spirits in the drawer couldn't react immediately, they just knelt and sat on their own wood chips one by one, raised their heads, and looked at him blankly - Xia Shi couldn't eat by himself these days , The spiritual power depends entirely on them taking turns to make offerings, and after the offerings are finished, they lie down to rest, close the drawer, completely unaware of what happened outside, let alone why Zhou Tang suddenly became so anxious.

Zhou Tang was anxious and angry, and pulled out the drawer with all his strength, slapped the desk with a "snap", reached out and pointed out the window: "That bird! Do you see it? Hurry up and chase it, Xia was caught!"

The wood spirits rubbed their eyes and stood up, poking their heads at the edge of the drawer.His eyesight stretched out with his spiritual power, and he saw Xia Shi dangling on the bird's claws. Only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly chased it out with the wood chips on his body. The manuscript paper dangled and floated into a piece.Zhou Tang impatiently waved his hand and pressed down the manuscript paper, but he heard the black bird make a strange cry, and flapped its wings more urgently, but he couldn't get rid of the swift wood spirit that was gradually approaching.

Because of Xia Shi's constant struggle, the bird was not flying fast, and it took a while for the wood spirit to overtake it.The wood spirits tamed by Zhou Tang were all well-trained, and without command, they spontaneously took up positions and approached the black bird from all directions, trying to outflank it.There was black air on the bird's wings, and it was screaming and rampaging, obviously wanting to rush out, but it couldn't tear through the encirclement of the wood spirit. Xia Shi, who was caught in the claws, was still struggling, waving I caught the toothpick somewhere and wanted to poke his foot.The black bird was impatient, his eyes flashed red, his paws suddenly loosened, and he threw Xia Shi down.

Xia Shi was taken aback, screamed and fell, and fell into the small pond below with a thud; It was too late to rescue them, so they just watched Xia Shi fall, and before they could react, they heard a strange cry, but it was the black bird who took advantage of their panic, tore through the encirclement and rushed out, followed by a dive, and another shell Swiping down like a bird, the tone of his mouth suddenly changed, and a group of fiery red koi floated up in the pond, with a strange light shining in their dull eyes.

Ling San, who was standing at the window and looking around, was also taken aback. With the fall of Xia Shi, he uttered a cry of surprise. He turned his head to look at Zhou Tang, but found that there was no one around him—Zhou Tang was shocked. It is the earliest among all the people, and it is also the fastest to end. When others are still surprised, he has turned his head and rushed out to go to the pond to fish for summer time.

He walked in a hurry, he didn't notice that a piece of manuscript paper was stuck on the sole of his feet, and he didn't find it until he went downstairs.As he lifted his foot, the piece of paper floated down gently, making a crisp sound. It was obviously a very thin thing, but because of its size, it was a little clumsy, and it didn't look light. .

He watched the piece of paper fall to the ground in an uneasy manner, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered that night more than a year ago.

That night that was flooded by loneliness and manuscript paper.
