strange neighbor

This alley has just been classified as a demolition area by the government this year, and there are still bungalows around it, but there are not many people living there.

"Is there a child crying?" Ding Shijin asked.

Jiang Duo nodded, and then signaled Ding Shijin to follow him. The door was locked from the outside. Jiang Duo leaned on the window and looked in. He could only see the slightly messy living room, with clothes and rice bowls piled up everywhere.

He yelled Xiaocao, and the crying inside instantly became louder, accompanied by the sound of inconspicuous liquid fluctuations.

It seemed that there was no one else in the house except Xiaocao. Jiang Duo shook the door lock twice, and the fist-sized lock creaked. After thinking for a while, he took a small black hairpin from the top of his head, and pointed at the lock. After poking the lock cylinder a few times, the door lock opened with a click.

"Let's go." Jiang Duo immediately opened the door and went in.

"Xiaocao?" He called out twice, and after just a short while, the child's crying began to become weaker.

"Here." Ding Shijin yelled, and Jiang Duo quickly walked to a small warehouse behind the kitchen, and the scene in front of him was a little hard to accept.

Xiaocao's two arms were tied with thick hemp rope, and then hung on the beam of the house. The position below the chest was immersed in a water tank, and the two tender little arms had turned purple.

Ding Shijin fished Xiaocao out of the water tank and untied the rope. She was cold and shivering uncontrollably, her lips turned black and purple. She didn't know how long she had been thrown in the cold water. Jiang Duo hurriedly took off the rope. He took off his coat to wrap her up, and carried her into the bedroom.

Not caring about other things, he stuffed the little girl into the bed, but Xiaocao's consciousness seemed to be blurred.

"No, we still have to take her to the hospital." Ding Shijin said.

Jiang Duo nodded, and the two of them were sent to the hospital together with the quilt. On the way, Jiang Duo changed from his usual frolicking appearance. He frowned, and his lips were drawn into a straight line. It could be seen that his anger was about to break through his body. .

He really didn't expect to see such a scene, such a small child, I don't know how long he was soaked in cold water in the cold winter months, after treatment, Xiaocao is no longer in serious trouble, but Jiang Duo's anger is really hard to dissipate , he glanced at Ding Shijin who was sleeping on a hanging water: "You stay here with her."

"I'm with you." Ding Shijin said.

"Will Xiaocao cry when she wakes up and sees no one?"

Ding Shijin glanced at the pale girl on the hospital bed: "I'll leave the nurse's contact information, and call if there is anything."

After explaining to the nurse, the two left the inpatient department. The elevator went up one floor to another. The two of them stood in the corridor. Ding Shijin looked at Jiang Duo and knew that he was very angry: "Calm down."

Jiang Duo let out a long breath, thinking that when he saw Xiaocao in the daytime yesterday, he was so energetic and cute, and he promised Xiaocao's mother last night that he would protect Xiaocao, but he never thought that he would almost never see Xiaocao again today. He couldn't see the little girl anymore, and his heart was full of anger.

'Ding——' The elevator opened, and an old woman came out pushing a wheelchair. The person sitting in the wheelchair was pale and thin, and the white and blue striped hospital gown was empty on him.

After the people inside came out, Jiang Duo and Ding Shijin walked in. Jiang Duo, who was immersed in his own world, didn't notice the startled and dazed expression of the old woman looking at him at all.

Ding Shijin stood in the elevator, staring straight at the old woman and the man in the wheelchair until the elevator door closed.

Before they reached the gate of Xiaocao's house, they saw the open gate and the noise in the yard. When they took Xiaocao away, they also returned the same way and never passed the gate, so the gate must be a small one. The grass family came back and opened it.

"How do I know where Xiaocao went!" A female voice screamed.

Accompanied by Xiaocao's grandma's crying and cursing, Xiaocao's father still looked submissive, facing his daughter-in-law's unreasonable troubles and ignorance of repentance and his mother's distressed crying, he was in a dilemma for a while and didn't know what to do.

"I just said that you are so kind to take me to the hospital today, so it turns out that you are just trying to throw away my little grass...my miserable little grass..."

"Oh mom, don't cry, are you arguing?" The puppet who assumed the identity of Xiaocao's mother rolled her eyes.

Hearing her words, Grandma Xiaocao was so angry with you for a long time, she almost couldn't breathe.

"Monster!" Jiang Duo strode in, with his right hand hanging by his side, his index finger and middle finger close together, and the other three fingers bent, ready to fight at any time.

The puppet was stunned, her face was stiff for a moment, her eyes rolled wildly, and she quickly reacted and forced herself to calm down: "Who are you talking about! You are dreaming in the blue sky, and go to the doctor if you are sick!"

As he said that, he turned around and wanted to leave. Of course, Jiang Duo would not give her a chance to escape. He immediately raised his right hand to face her, and a talisman flew straight towards her.

That thing reacted very quickly, and she turned sideways to dodge, and she screamed while dodging: "Kill it, kill it—husband—"

Things developed so fast and suddenly, Granny Xiaocao and Dad hadn't reacted until her voice.

When Xiaocao's father saw this, he rushed forward: "What are you doing!"

However, he didn't even touch Jiang Duo's clothes, and was kicked to the ground by Ding Shijin who appeared from nowhere next to him.

"Stay." Ding Shijin was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

Xiaocao's father looked at him with a cold face, as if he could get Ding Shijin who cut him at any time, he swallowed. Even the kick he kicked hurt so much that he gritted his teeth and held back his silence.

After a while, Jiang Duo disappeared into the yard along with that thing.

Although Grandma Xiaocao was also a little afraid of this young man with a bad temper, her son was nothing by his side and couldn't catch a kick. She stabilized her mind and said, "Young man, you and your son My friend suddenly broke into my house, chased my daughter-in-law and beat my son, what reason do you have?"

Ding Shijin pursed his lips and really didn't want to talk. Whenever he saw this family, he thought of Xiaocao lying comatose in the hospital.

Seeing that Ding Shijin didn't answer, the old lady didn't panic, and continued: "Although my old lady can't beat you if you break into a private house like this, you can still call the police."

"Call the police?" Ding Shijin sneered, "Your child is missing, did you call the police?"

The old lady's eyes widened instantly, and she was a little emotional: "How do you know that my granddaughter is missing, have you seen her?"

"She's in the hospital."

"Hospital? What's going on?" The old lady stepped forward and grabbed Ding Shijin's arm.

Ding Shijin lowered his eyelids and looked at the hand on his arm, and the anxious worry in the old lady's eyes that didn't seem fake, said: "I don't know what mistake Xiaocao made, a child who is only four or five years old is going to be hung from the ceiling Come on, the winter in December will be punished by throwing it in a cold water tank."

The old lady shook her body after hearing this, and she murmured in disbelief, "What?"

Then she suddenly turned her head to look at her son who was squatting on the ground and said sharply, "Cao Qinghai, tell me! What's going on!"

Xiaocao's father buried his head very low, faltering and unable to speak, Ding Shijin looked at the scene in front of him coldly, and took two steps back with his arms folded.

The old lady turned around again and looked at Ding Shijin: "Young man, how is my granddaughter?"

"never mind."

"Then... why are you chasing and beating my daughter-in-law? Are you the police? No, no, no." After she finished speaking, she denied her point of view: "The police don't know how to beat people, who are you? "

"That's not your daughter-in-law." Ding Shijin said.

Jiang Duo has been chasing the traces of that ceramic man for a long time. Obviously, this ceramic man is better than the Taoist at his house last night. He is not only capable, but also clever enough. He didn't even notice her ghostly aura when he was next to her last time. .

Jiang Duo chased her around and ran into an abandoned building. As soon as he entered, he was almost suffocated by the ghostly aura all over the sky. The lavender ghostly aura entangled in the air, trying to get closer He, Jiang Duo quickly pulled a tactic, and the ghostly aura that had been trying to get into his skin for an instant began to retreat desperately, and even screamed in horror.

He walked slowly and cautiously in the hall on the first floor step by step, holding the ghost in his hand, and the uneven construction waste under his feet creaked and creaked when he stepped on it.

"Huh—" A gust of wind blew past behind him, pulling the hair behind his ears.

He hooked the corners of his mouth, it seems that this thing is indeed not low-level, and it dares to come out to make trouble in broad daylight.

Suddenly the music of Christmas carols sounded in the building, and the clear and cheerful voice like a crystal box echoed in the empty abandoned building. The voice seemed to be consciously inserted into his brain desperately, and suddenly his temples throbbed. It started to blur.

He clicked his tongue, pressed the tip of his tongue against his teeth and bit down hard. After a sharp pain, he became sober. Jiang Duo snorted and drew a spell in the air to hit the surrounding area, and the music stopped suddenly. down.

Then the clicking sound appeared again, and he looked towards the sound. It was just a group of dolls in Christmas costumes, with round and dull eyes, but flashing red light, and a stiff smile on their faces. Holding a saxophone in their hands, some carried gift bags and rushed towards Jiang Duo quickly, still screaming sharply: "Death-death-death-"

Jiang Duo went up to meet him, and kicked the doll flying in the front. The doll was thrown more than ten meters away and hit the load-bearing pillar. Shouting slogans.

'Puff——' the voice of the sax blew in his ears, Jiang Duo turned his head and happened to meet the Santa Claus who was holding the sax, and at the same time there was a ghostly air from the sax, Jiang Duo quickly covered his mouth and nose, but still couldn't help it. Carefully inhaling it, his vision blurred for a moment, and then he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. He leaned on the ghost and barely stabilized his figure so that he did not lie on the ground.

It was just such a respite, but those dolls caught his flaws and surrounded him with all their hands and feet. Jiang Duo struggled desperately, trying to break through the encirclement, when suddenly a Santa Claus carrying a gift bag smashed the gift bag On his back, the final picture is an upside-down world, and Jiang Duo finally fell into darkness.
