our supernatural life

After making the phone call, Mai Mai didn't have the mood to work anymore, so she gave Gui Zi'er a few words of advice and left the shop to go home.At the end of June, the weather was already hot, and the community was very quiet, even the dog walkers didn't come out.Before Xiaomai reached the fifth floor, she heard the noise on the sixth floor, a woman's voice shouting something.He walked up two more steps, and found Zhao Baobao leaning against his door, with his little head down, wondering what to do.Mai Mai was very happy: "Baby, are you back?"

Zhao Baobao raised his head, and Mai Mai took a look: "What's wrong? You can hang a small oil bottle with your mouth so pouted, what happened?"

Zhao Baobao was still wearing the same clothes that Xiaomai wore when he saw him for the first time, and he was still holding a handful of grass in his hand. He glanced at Maimai, then lowered his head to grab the grass in his hand: "Mom is here, quarreling with Daddy .”

"Ah?" Maimai was very surprised, and after thinking about it, the man upstairs was probably divorced, or the child was poor, and the adults quarreled without considering the child's feelings.Mai Mai couldn't help but think of her father again, and felt a little uncomfortable. She bent down and picked up Bao Baobao, and took out the key to open the door. "Baby, how about going to uncle's house to play? Will you go home after mom leaves?"

Zhao Baobao buried her small face on his shoulder and remained silent.Mai Mai felt her heart was twisted, and she was reluctant to let go of her hug. She went into the house and hurried to find something to eat: "Does the baby eat chocolate? Do you want snacks? Can you eat fruit?"

Zhao Baobao shook his head, grabbed the handful of grass, and pulled each one.Wheat had no choice but to sit down and talk to him: "Where did this grass come from, baby?" He found that it was actually the same kind he saw last time, but it was still fresh, and he really didn't know where he picked it from. .

Zhao Baobao lowered his head: "Father gave it..."

Seeing that his little brows were wrinkled together in worry, Maimai couldn't help but rubbed his hair again: "Do mom and dad always quarrel?"

Zhao Baobao raised his head and looked at Mai Mai pitifully: "Mom always quarrels with Dad."

There was a bang, and the sound of falling things came from upstairs in good time.Mai Mai saw Zhao Baobao was about to cry, and felt very distressed: "Baby, don't be afraid, why don't uncle go to your house to see?"

Zhao Baobao nodded heavily: "Uncle told them not to quarrel."

Mai Mai thought how much harm this parental quarrel had caused the child, and stood up: "Baby is eating snacks in the house, uncle goes up to have a look." He nodded, "You wait for uncle in the house."

Zhao Baobao shook his head: "There are things in Uncle's room."

Wheat was puzzled: "What's there?"

Zhao Baobao grabbed the hem of his clothes and didn't let go until he went out: "I'll wait here."

Mai Mai had no choice but to say, "Then don't run away. Uncle will go up and have a look and come back."

The anti-theft door upstairs was closed, but the wooden door inside was not closed tightly. Mai Mai heard a woman screaming: "...You have a reason, you have a reason? Okay, you have a reason, return the child to me, Give it back to me! Can you give it back to me?"

Mai Mai was hesitant to knock on the door. After all, this is a family matter. It seems that the husband and wife are fighting for a child.The woman screamed from inside, and Xiaomai heard the man whisper: "Then you can't—this is your body, so your body will be finished."

The woman snorted: "You don't need to worry about it, just give me the money!"

"Xiao Lan, you really can't do this, that thing is also a drug, it will kill you!"

The woman said bitterly: "Don't worry about it! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be like this!" After speaking, a series of high-heeled shoes came towards the door. Mai Mai hurriedly dodged, and the anti-theft door that was pushed open suddenly hit the wall On it, a piece of wall covering was knocked off.The woman didn't even look at Mai Mai, and walked away proudly.Mai Mai saw that her complexion was dark, and her eye circles were also blue. Even though she had applied powder, it still couldn't cover up her bad skin condition.The man ran out after him, saw Mai Mai unexpectedly, was taken aback for a moment, and smiled awkwardly: "You--"

Mai Mai didn't know how to speak, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds. The sound of the woman's high-heeled shoes had disappeared, and the man forced a smile: "What's the matter? Come in and sit down?"

"Ah, no," Mai Mai suddenly remembered the thief's patronage, "A few days ago, a thief climbed onto the window sill of your house."

The man was also taken aback: "Thief?"

"Yes, but he fell by himself when he broke the window. But I thought the baby was in the house, so the police opened the door and came in to search. Well, the police left a phone number. If there is any problem, you can call This call."

The man stared, as if he didn't understand: "Baby?"

Mai Mai scratched her head: "Yeah, I thought the baby was at home by myself, so... I realized later that I was wrong, it was the pattern printed on the curtain. That, that one just now was your--wife?"

The man was obviously still at a loss, and nodded: "Yes, but we are already divorced."

Mai Mai hesitated for a moment, but still said: "You -- you are arguing too much, scaring the children."

"Ah?" The man showed a blank expression again, "Child? Did we scare your child?"

Mai Mai was almost choked by him, and it was all about: "I don't have a child, I mean your child, baby, Zhao Baobao."

The man's eyes suddenly widened, staring at Mai as if he had seen a ghost: "How do you know about the baby?"

Mai Mai really couldn't continue talking to him: "Baby is in my room now, scared by your quarrel, afraid to go home."

After finishing these words, Xiaomai felt that the man's eyes were about to fall out of their sockets: "Baby--in your--house--" He seemed to be strangled by someone, and his words were full of anger sound.

Mai Mai was completely confused by him: "Yes, the baby is in my room, you - Mr. Zhao, you are -"

The man swallowed his saliva, moved his Adam's apple up and down, and said with difficulty: "You, did you make a mistake? That, is someone else's child, right?"

"How is it possible? You took it with you on a business trip a few days ago. How could it belong to someone else's house?"

The man shrank back a bit, backed into the door, and looked at Mai with a look of insanity: "This, this gentleman, are you-maybe you should go to the hospital-I mean, my child, He died two years ago." As soon as he finished speaking, he hastily closed the door.

Mai Mai was stunned at the door, and it took him a long time to get his head back. He let out a subconscious ah, and felt that his muscles were stiff. He turned around and found Zhao Baobao standing behind him. he.Mai Mai opened her mouth and managed to find her tongue: "Baby? You--"

Baby Zhao looked at him for a while, then lowered his head, walked past him, and went straight into the door.Mai Mai stared blankly at his small body disappearing directly into the iron gate, completely stunned.Although he already knew that he could see ghosts with yin and yang eyes, he hadn't seen many ghosts since he was with Shao Jing, and he often forgot that he had this ability, so he never thought that Zhao Baobao would- Walking slowly downstairs, I remembered one by one: Zhao Baobao looked chubby, but it was unexpectedly light in his hands; It's always fresh; and his clothes are always the same when I see him... It turns out that he is a little devil.So the face I saw in the window that day was the photo printed on the curtain?Or is it really Baby Zhao?

Mai held this idea for two days.In the past two days, he met the man on the sixth floor by chance, and they were a little embarrassed with each other.The man probably thought he was crazy, and he didn't dare to tell the man that his son's ghost was by his side.On the third day, when Mai Mai came back from the store, she heard the noise upstairs again.He opened the door of his house, thinking about it, he was still uneasy, and walked a few steps upstairs, and sure enough, he found Zhao Baobao sitting on the ground with his back against the railing, with a blank face, looking at the door of his house.Mai Mai looked at him for a while, and finally couldn't help but said, "Baby?"

Zhao Baobao looked back at him, then lowered his head again.Mai Mai heard the women in the room clamoring for money again, and sighed: "Baby, why don't you sit in Uncle's room?"

Zhao Baobao turned to look at him and whispered, "Will you let me go?"

Mai Mai smiled: "Why not let me go? Go, wait at Uncle's house, don't sit here." Although he also knew that ghosts were probably not afraid of the wind, but seeing such a small child sitting alone in the corridor, he always felt Could not bear.

Zhao Baobao stayed for a while, finally stood up, followed Maimai down the stairs, but he didn't go in when he reached the door: "There is something inside."

Wheat is very strange: "What is there?"

"It's hot, I dare not go in." Zhao Baobao said in a daze, and Mai Mai couldn't understand, but Zhao Baobao really didn't dare to go in, and Mai Mai couldn't force it, "Then uncle will accompany you- -" Before he finished speaking, he heard a bang upstairs, and then the woman's crying suddenly became louder.Mai Mai was startled, and quickly told Zhao Baobao: "Wait here, uncle, go upstairs and have a look." He ran up in three steps and two steps, only to hear the woman crying inside: "Zhao Jiayi, how dare you hit me?" , You dare to hit me!" Then came a man's voice: "Zhang Xilan, if you do this again, you will die of taking drugs! I can't give you money to let you take drugs! You go to a drug rehabilitation center now, and I can give you money to give you a drug treatment. You can’t take drugs! Did you hear that? You’re not going, right? I’ll call, I’ll call the police! Whoever sold you drugs, arrest them all!”

The room was in chaos, the door opened suddenly, the woman stumbled out, lost one of her high heels, and ran downstairs limping, the man chased after him smelling of alcohol, "Xiaolan, listen to me, listen to me Yes, don't run!" He stumbled on the threshold and fell to the ground, the woman had already run downstairs and disappeared.

Mai went to help the man up, the man probably drank a lot of wine, his eyes were red, he didn't look at who was in front of him, he grabbed Mai's wrist: "help me chase her back, tell her to go to drug rehabilitation !"

Where does Mai go to chase people?With difficulty, he lifted the man up and sent him to the house: "Mr. Zhao, you should sober up first, and there will be a solution."

The man grabbed his wrist and said, "It's all my fault, I didn't take good care of the child, otherwise she wouldn't be like this..." He drank too much, and his whole body leaned against the wheat as if he had no bones, only his mouth remained. On the contrary, it was easier than usual, and he babbled, "It would be fine if I didn't let the baby stay alone, it would be fine... But how would I know? Just when I entered the institute, I let the baby stay at the door I even picked flowers for him. I thought I’d come out in half an hour. Children are not allowed in the research institute building. It’s only half an hour. When I came out, the baby disappeared... that thing that kills a thousand knives , Tied up the baby and asked me for money. I can give the money, I can borrow it, or sell the house! You took the money and returned the child to me! But that bastard, he, he tore up the ticket, tore up the ticket... ..." He suddenly let go of Mai, covered his face and began to cry loudly, "Xiaolan blamed me, if I hadn't put the child outside, nothing would have happened! She felt uncomfortable, so she started taking drugs. If this continues, she will die too. ..."

Xiaomai felt uncomfortable when he heard it, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Don't do this, this, this is not your fault, who knew that such a thing would happen?"

The man wailed and curled up on the sofa, calling the baby's name.Seeing that he was drunk, Mai Mai was already drowsy, and got up to find a thin towel to cover him.When he came in with the police last time, he was just looking for someone and didn't pay attention to anything else. Only this time did he realize that the things in the house were not only men's, but also many children's things, which were obviously used by Baobao Zhao before his death.If one only looked at the furnishings of this house, anyone would think that there was a child living here.When he took the towel and was taken out of the bedroom, he saw Zhao Baobao standing on the edge of the sofa looking at the man, and stretched out his small hand to touch the man's face, but when his hand touched the man's face, it passed through like air.Seeing it, Mai Mai was so uncomfortable, she put the towel on the man, turned and went to the kitchen.

The single man's kitchen was in a mess, the wheat was on fire, a bowl of noodles was made, and some vinegar was mixed before coming over to shake the man awake.The man's eyes were red and swollen. He finished drinking the noodle soup in silence before raising his head and smiling bitterly: "Thank you."

Mai Mai sighed: "Don't be like this, baby, and baby doesn't want to see you like this."

The man was a little lost: "Baby... Can he see? If he can see, can he come back?"

Mai Mai wanted to say that Zhao Baobao was actually beside her, but after thinking about it, no one would believe it, so she could only say: "You are like this, if the child knows how uncomfortable it is."

The man shook his head with a wry smile, and wiped his face: "You are right. There is also the matter of Xiaolan, I can't do this, I have to, I have to help her quit drugs anyway. I have to call the police, and I can't let her Let's go on like this."

This kind of thing is his own business, so Mai can't interrupt anymore, so he said goodbye and came out. When the door was closing, he looked back, Zhao Baobao was still standing in the corner of the room, looking at his father with his eyes.Mai Mai felt sour, quietly closed the door and went downstairs, went to her own house and opened the door, and heard the sound of water in the bathroom, she couldn't help but be taken aback: "Shao Jing?"

The bathroom door opened, and Shao Jing came out naked with foam on his head: "Where have you been? You didn't take the phone?"

"Go upstairs—hey, you, why did you come out like this?" Shao Jing was naked, water droplets and foam from the bath liquid slowly flowed down his honey-colored skin, and Xiaomai couldn't help but twitched. Hong, the sadness just now went to nowhere, so she quickly pushed him back, "I thought you would be back a few days later, have you eaten at noon?"

Shao Jing retracted and washed it off three times, then took out a towel and wiped it off before coming out: "I ate a piece of bread."

"Why just eat a piece of bread?" Mai Mai hurriedly ran to the kitchen, "I'll make some noodles for you to eat, and there's still some cake in the refrigerator. You put it on first, and I'll be ready right away."

Shao Jing followed into the kitchen: "Where did you go just now?"

Mai Mai sighed: "I went upstairs, alas."

Shao Jing was surprised: "Why are you still sighing?"

Whilst beating eggs and chopping chopped green onions quickly, Mai Mai gave a brief account of Baobao Zhao.Shao Jing frowned: "There are little ghosts upstairs?"

"It shouldn't be counted? His father doesn't even know he's here." Mai Mai put the noodles out of the pot, picked up some pickled vegetables, cut up some ham sausage and put them on the table together, "Can you help me?" he?"

Shao Jing frowned: "How can I help? I can save this little ghost. Also, you have to know that you have yin and yang eyes. What you can see is not necessarily a human being. If you are so unvigilant, the next time you meet an evil ghost you what to do?"

Mai Mai bowed her head to be taught: "I see, I must pay attention next time. But, I mean, can you let Mr. Zhao see the baby?"

Shao Jing was surprised: "Let him see it? Why?"

"Why, why? He misses the child so much, wouldn't it be a good thing if he could see the baby by his side?"

Shao Jing frowned even deeper: "Your idea is not right. Humans and ghosts have different paths. When you die, you should go to the underworld, and you should be reincarnated. You can't be greedy for the world anymore. And you, stay away from that little ghost in the future."

Mai Mai was dissatisfied: "Why do you have no sympathy? Didn't you see Mr. Zhao crying like that? The baby is also very pitiful. He follows him every day, but he can't touch him..."

Shao Jing frowned and picked up the noodles, and tried to soften his voice for a long time: "Xiaomai, there is a difference between human beings and ghosts. I don't think his father would be willing to have a ghost by his side?"

"How could it be? My own child, not someone else." Mai disagreed with his thoughts, "If you can bring grandma back, then I will be very happy."

Shao Jing didn't know how to tell him, so he sighed for a long time: "It's not difficult for him to see it, so, you go and tell him, if he wants to see it, I'll let him take a look, and then I'll take this The child is sent to be reincarnated."

Mai Mai jumped up and put his arms around his neck: "I know you can do it! Okay, I'll go and tell him tomorrow."

Shao Jing pulled him off his neck and hugged him on his lap: "You just like to meddle in your own business."

Mai Mai put her arms around his neck again with a smile: "Isn't there you!"

Shao Jing smiled, but not deeply.Mai Mai hugged him: "What's wrong?"

Shao Jing lowered his head slightly: "I didn't find the Promise Chain, the Zhong family said to help me find it, and let me know if there is any news."

Mai Mai knew that this was too far-fetched: "It's okay, we can think of other ways. Also, can you take me with you when you go out next time? It will take a few days after you leave--"

Shao Jing hugged him tighter: "Okay. This time, because you are going to Zhong's house, and you are not in this industry, it is inappropriate to take you there. Next time I go somewhere, I will definitely take you with me."
