I can see your emotional body [unlimited]

As the rain became lighter, the sound of Geng Zhen's footsteps on the wooden floor became particularly loud at night.

Geng Zhen stood at the stairs and waited for a while, making sure that no one was awakened by him. He tiptoed behind the door and touched an oil-paper umbrella, and swaggered to the front yard.

The raindrops hit the umbrella surface, and the crackling sound was dense.

Passing by the well without changing his face, after entering the toilet, Geng Zhen waited quietly with an umbrella.

I don't know how long it took, Geng Zhen's whole body was soaked in coldness, and finally heard a plop

—something broke out of the water.

Corgi nestled in Geng Zhen's arms, his ears pricked up when he heard the sound, and he tilted his head to pinpoint the source of the sound through a wall.

Geng Zhen held the handle of the umbrella and heard things outside seem to be dragging his lower body to move.

Limbs would leave a long trail in the wet earth, leading to the windows of every guest room, and would be washed away by the rain before dawn.

The sound of mopping the floor became farther and farther away, and after a wall, Geng Zhen and Corgi quietly probed to observe at the same time.

Then, Geng Zhen saw that thin black monster crawling unhindered into the window he broke open.

A few seconds later, the monster, who hadn't seen anyone, crawled out of the wide open window frame, squeezed a gap in the window of the next room along the wall, and forced himself in.

When Geng Zhen opened the window yesterday, he found that the windows of this inn had a strange structure. The inside was entangled with wire and could not be opened, but the gap could be easily opened from the outside.

The monster stayed in each room for about 5 minutes. Geng Zhen counted the time, and when the monster squeezed into a certain room again, he walked quickly through the front yard and returned to the lobby.

Almost at the same time he stepped into the lobby, the monster was like a puddle of liquid, wriggling and deformed, squeezed out of the small high room, and perhaps heard footsteps, its sharp head suddenly turned to the well in the front yard.

The face with indistinguishable facial features was covered with seaweed-like wet hair, and the messy hair was thrown a string of water splashes by the big movement when it turned its head, and fell into the soil in the corner of the wall along with the raindrops.

And when it climbed to the entrance of the lobby, it almost bumped into the tall man standing in the shadows.

The little panda in the man's arms looked down at this ugly thing condescendingly, and let out a groan in disgust.

"Don't look." Ning Wang covered the eyes of the little panda, and looked coldly at the monster trying to escape.

"You're an eyesore, go find someone else."

monster:"……"

Monster hearts are also raining.

It was heartbroken by Ning Wang's words, and it crawled into the rooms of several other players without looking back.

Geng Zhen stood in front of the innkeeper's bedroom, raised his index finger and knocked on the door.

There was a slight cough in the room, and a flickering candle light smudged the thin window paper.

After a long while, there were footsteps in the room, Sun Xu opened the door, and was slightly stunned when he saw Geng Zhen coming.

"Hello, the window in my room is broken, so I really can't sleep." Geng Zhen's eyelashes drooped slightly, looking innocent, and the meek ending blended into the thick night, it was hard for people to have anything to him after hearing it. temper.

His posture was polite, and he blocked Sun Xu's way without saying a word, "When I came down, I saw the light, and I wanted to borrow a tool from you to repair the windows."

"That window really needs to be repaired." Sun Xu tried his best to suppress the coughing in his throat, and moved a step to the side, "Come in first and have a seat."

Geng Zhen followed good advice, and when he entered the room, he looked at the layout of the room calmly.

The furniture is so sparse that it looks like a temporary guest room. The only thing that can tell where someone has lived for a long time is probably the big desk under the window.

Stacks of books are piled high on the desk.

A booklet was spread out on the table with a writing brush in the middle. Before Geng Zhen knocked on the door, Sun Xu was probably writing something down at his desk.

"Why are you up so late?" Geng Zhen asked with concern.

Sun Xu walked to the desk, closed the open booklet, and greeted Geng Zhen to take a seat, "When people get old, they tend to suffer from insomnia, so get up and write something to pass the time. Have a cup of hot tea, it's really cold at night."

Hearing this, Geng Zhen looked past his knees. He didn't pay attention to whether there was anything wrong with Sun Xu's walking posture before. Now Sun Xu's knees were wrapped with thick cotton material to keep warm.

"Are your knees uncomfortable?" Geng Zhen took the hot tea and held it in his hand, and the warmth passed down the porcelain to his palm. Geng Zhen held the teacup tightly and thanked Sun Xu.

Sun Xu supported his knees and sat down opposite Geng Zhen, "It's an old problem. When I was young, I fell into cold water. When it rains, my bones feel uncomfortable."

Geng Zhen stared at the thick night outside the window for a long time, until the crawling sound disappeared, and he asked: "Have you not considered changing your place to live?"

Since Geng Zhen entered the game, it has been raining in the town, and Sun Xu has been enduring physical suffering.

No wonder Sun Xu always sat sleepily in the rocking chair to rest.

"I have walked too much when I was young. Now I am old and I can't walk anymore." Sun Xu took a sip of tea, stared at a shadow in the room for a long time, and sighed quietly: "My relatives are still here , where can I go?"

Geng Zhen asked curiously: "Xiaowen? I heard him call your uncle, is this your family?"

"He's half my family.

He is a good boy, willing to stay in the inn with my old bones. "

After Sun Xu said this, he habitually sank into his yellowed memory.

All his life he was displaced, his family members passed away one after another, and he was the only one left, dragging his sick body to live in this small town year after year.

"I haven't thought about them for a long time." Sun Xu came back from the memory, "If I always miss them, the night will be too long."

"The guest room you live in was originally my daughter's room." Sun Xu glanced at Geng Zhen, and asked him tentatively, "Have you seen anything in the room?"

Geng Zhenxin stopped beating for a beat, with an extremely sincere apology on his face: "I'm really sorry, I was looking for a change of clothes, but I accidentally opened the compartment of the closet, and saw an inscription inside."

It wasn't until that oppressive gaze moved away that Geng Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Inscription?" Sun Xu asked in a puzzled tone.

Geng Zhen was also stunned: "Don't you know?"

"There are two people who signed the inscription. One is Sun Xian. Maybe you know him?"

"Sun Xian is my daughter." Sun Xu frowned and asked anxiously, "You just said that there are two names in the signature?"

Geng Zhen said: "The other one doesn't have a surname, only a first name, and it says Ah Rou."

"It turned out to be her?" Sun Xu's expression changed a few times.

Sun Xu's chest heaved violently, he held Geng Zhen's arm tightly, and said eagerly: "You show me that word!"

"Don't worry, the painting is still in the room."

Geng Zhen waited for Sun Xu to calm down a bit before asking: "Is there something wrong with this calligraphy?"

Sun Xu's face was gloomy, and he murmured: "This is really unreasonable. Sun Xian left unexpectedly more than 20 years ago, Ah Rou... She just lived in the inn for a while six years ago. Their names How could it be inscribed in the same place?"
