roommate she never sleeps

On the night of the ceremony, Shen Ling also went with him.

Knowing that she was going too, Xia Cheng asked her to put on the red scarf, and even pulled her into his room to sit down.

"What are you doing?"

"Since you want to follow me, you might as well dress up festively." Xia Cheng said this while looking at his dressing table.She quickly found what she wanted and took the lipstick in her hand.

Xia Cheng first used lip balm on Shen Ling."I've always felt that you should use more bright colors. You look really good with red," she said.

After finishing speaking, Xia Cheng threw down the lip balm and carefully painted Shen Ling's lipstick.Shen Ling didn't refuse, and quietly watched her focus on her eyes.

Shen Ling was thinking about how she saw the person in front of her in her heart.At first Shen Ling sympathized with her, but then?

Shen Ling herself couldn't tell.

Xia Cheng looked at Shen Ling who finally became like a bright rose, and laughed: "Okay, let's go."

It was ten o'clock in the evening after everything was packed, and Xia Cheng had to arrive at the designated place at exactly twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.It was the most gloomy place in the city - the intersection of Yongsui Street.

Yongsui Street is a very old street. It is said that it was very prosperous before liberation, but now, Yongsui Street has become a street selling funeral supplies.The doors of those shops are not glass doors or rolling doors, but wooden doors that can be disassembled. Each door is composed of strips of reddish-brown wooden boards.

When Xia Cheng was very young, a classmate's family made this.She said that her parents kept her in the small attic at night and did not ask her to go out.She was sleeping on the bed, and she could hear the sound of thump, thud, thud outside, as if someone was jumping outside.

The children said it was a zombie, the kind of zombie shown on TV.

Shen Ling and Xia Cheng went to Xu Changsi's house first.Xu Changsi gave Xia Cheng a silver bracelet, saying it was from her former boss.

"Fang An has a little friendship with me. This is something I asked her to find."

Xia Cheng was stunned, did her former boss have friendship with Xu Changsi?

But at this moment, she really didn't have time to ask more questions, so she could only quickly take the bowl of milk and go out.It was the cow's colostrum that Xu Changsi found. Besides, Xia Cheng also stuffed a bunch of yellow paper with square holes in his pocket.

Xia Cheng carefully walked down the street with the bowl of milk.Shen Ling couldn't walk side by side with her, but could only follow beside her.

Having said that, there are really too few people on the street tonight.Xia Ben thought that because she was holding a bowl, many people would look at her.But on this street, except for her and Shen Ling, there seemed to be no one else.

What Xia Cheng didn't know was that in Shen Ling's eyes, there was a tall man in front of Xia Cheng, and a man with a pet dog on his right.

There are many people on the street, but Xia Cheng can't see them now.

It's not very far from Yongsui Street, you can walk there, it takes about 15 minutes to walk.Xia Cheng couldn't see anything at the moment, but felt a lot more at ease.

She had almost reached the end of the street and was about to turn right.She took a few steps forward and turned right.

Xia Cheng stopped after turning the corner.

She saw a small child with a very large head.She knew that child. When she was five years old, her mother said, the old lady who scavenged next door picked up a baby girl to raise.

That child was malnourished since he was a child, with a big head and a small body, but he was very clever, and he would greet people and speak nicely.However, if the old lady can't even support herself, how can she support a child?Not long after, Xia Cheng never saw the child again. They said that the child died of starvation.

Now Xia Cheng saw that big-headed doll sucking his thumb, bouncing towards him.

The closer the child got, the more Xia Cheng could smell the rancid smell.

Shen Ling next to her also smelled it, so Shen Ling walked over and slashed the child's left arm.The child's left arm was not injured, but turned into smoke.

"Xia Cheng, hurry up, the later the time, the more things like this will be."

Xia Cheng walked forward quickly, and had to prevent the milk in the bowl from being spilled.The yellow triangular charm that hung around her neck flickered as she walked.

It was stained with Xu Changsi's blood.

Fortunately, things went well, Xia Cheng arrived at Yongsui Street after eleven o'clock.It's just that as soon as she set foot on Yongsui Street, she heard someone shouting leisurely: "Sharpen the scissors~ sharpen the scissors~"

This voice is very familiar.

That was also someone Xia Cheng knew.There is nothing terrible about this man, just a sharpener of scissors.However, the wife he married was not ordinary.

His wife was originally the concubine of a military officer in the Republic of China.Later, the officer fled to Taiwan, taking only the eldest wife and her children with her, and she was thrown on the mainland.

Xia Cheng's mother often used this woman as an example to teach her: "People, what's the use of enjoying happiness when you are young? Enjoying happiness when you are old is called real happiness. Look at her, when she was young, she didn't eat anything. Why haven’t you worn it before, are you old? Tsk tsk, it’s miserable like this.”

That woman married the scissor grinder just to survive.The scissor sharpener can't make much money, so she is hungry every day.People from the women's federation and the neighborhood committee have helped their family, but it was useless.Then the old man died, and the old lady strangled herself with a trouser belt.When people went in, they saw that one end of the belt was tied to the head of the bed, and the other was a loop around her neck.

She didn't follow him because she loved that man.She was starved, so hungry that she could no longer bear this pain, so she simply broke herself.

The luck in misfortune is that they have no children, otherwise there would be another poor child in this world.

At this moment, Xia Cheng was standing on the street, feeling the cold winter wind blowing towards her.

The man continued to shout hoarsely:

"Sharpen the scissors~sharpen the scissors~"

Xia Cheng bit the bullet and continued walking until he reached the door of a certain shop.Then she heard the sound of the wooden door being slapped.It seemed that someone was in the shop, knocking on the door desperately.

"Xia Cheng, it's twelve o'clock!" Shen Ling who came over at this moment shouted.

Xia Cheng didn't care where the scissors sharpener was at the moment, she walked to the intersection and poured half of the milk in the bowl at the intersection.
