The soul of the ex-husband

Xiao Qi didn't say a word.

Tata, who was listening to it from the side, was so excited that she couldn't help but her heart was rippling, and she answered loudly for Xiao Qi: "Husband!!!"

"........."

Xiao Qi turned his head to warn Tata with his eyes, signaling her to shut up.

However, Zhou Heng tilted his head and smiled at Tata, expressing his appreciation.

Xiao Qi picked up one leg of his trousers and sat forward, as if he wanted to have a good fight with Zhou Heng.

He rubbed the tip of his nose with his fingers, cleared his throat, and said, "Ri Heng, if you must take advantage of me like this, then there are some things I have to say..."

Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows and raised his tone: "Wait, you call this taking advantage?"

"Isn't it?" Xiao Qi paused, raised his eyes to look at Zhou Heng, and said seriously, "Comparing your heart to your heart, let you call me husband, are you willing?"

"Husband." Zhou Heng was straightforward, without blinking, and his voice was low and clean.

Xiao Qi's heart skipped half a beat: "..."

I rely on.

Simon leaned against the table and sneered in a low voice: "Where is the dog abuse here?"

"I don't listen..." Xiao Qi rubbed his face, gathered his confused thoughts, continued to argue with Zhou Heng with a reddish face, and said, "You should have read those two certificates, they are pure hell stuff, won't be protected by law, so technically we're not..."

Zhou Heng interrupted him and only asked: "Is there a marriage name on the certificate?"

Xiao Qi recalled it, and it really did.

I was speechless for a while.

"If there is." Zhou Heng raised his chin with one hand, squinted at Xiao Qi and smiled, "Then our marriage certificate was obtained according to the formal process, and it has been entered into the marriage registration management information system. There is no reason why it should not be protected by law." .”

Xiao Qi frowned and thought for a long time, the more he thought about it, the more something went wrong, he whispered to himself: "If this is the case..."

Zhou Heng looked at Xiao Qi leisurely, his phoenix eyes were full of gentle smiles, it could be seen that he was in a good mood at the moment.

"Okay!" Xiao Qi suddenly slapped his thigh, stood up, and decided, "Then let's find a way together to divorce this marriage."

Zhou Heng's smile gradually disappeared: "..."

He said coldly in his heart, who wants to think of a way with you?

***

That night, Xiao Qi stayed at Zhou Heng's house and slept on the sofa.

Bach piano music continued to be played from the master bedroom, even when Xiao Qi fell asleep, the piano music didn't stop.

For Xiao Qi's height, the sofa is still a bit small, Xiao Qi couldn't help turning over when he was sleeping, but turning over would involve the wound on the back of his shoulder, so he didn't sleep well.

In this way, half-dream and half-awake to the second half of the night, there was a sudden "bang!" outside, and it seemed that something heavy had landed on the south side of the building.

Xiao Qi faced the side of the wall, woke up briefly, and then heard the piano music in the master bedroom stop abruptly.

At this time, there was only silence in the night, Xiao Qi leaned on one arm and listened for a while, except for the silence outside, he couldn't help thinking that he was dreaming just now, so sleepiness struck again.

It's just that he hasn't slept for a while, when Xiao Qi is pushed awake again.

Xiao Qi turned his head and looked to the back, Zhou Heng was sitting in a wheelchair, his face looked particularly pale at night, even though she was a living beauty, it still made people feel a little creepy at first glance.

Xiao Qi was puzzled, and was about to ask him what he was doing.

Zhou Heng gave a "shh" to Xiao Qi, and said softly: "Did you hear the singing?"

Xiao Qi looked at Zhou Heng suspiciously, but still obeyed and listened intently.

Sure enough, after a short while, Xiao Qi heard a faint low singing from downstairs:

"Shh! hush...don't talk, baby... Mommy will buy you a robin... and if the robin won't sing, mother will buy you a diamond ring..."

It seemed that there was a woman wandering back and forth downstairs, and the singing was scattered in the wind, and when it reached the twelfth floor, it became intermittent, very light, very shallow, and it was difficult to distinguish the direction, which was creepy.

Who will sing downstairs in the middle of the night?

Xiao Qi suppressed his voice unconsciously, and said: "Crazy?"

Zhou Heng shook his head and said, "Last night, I heard this song in my dream."

Xiao Qi looked at Zhou Heng, seemed to hear something unusual from his words, frowned, and said, "What do you want?"

Zhou Heng smiled, lowered his voice, and said, "I can't sleep anyway, why don't you go down with me and have a look?"

"...No!" Xiao Qi refused without even thinking about it, turned to the sofa again, pulled up the quilt to cover his head, and said angrily, "If you don't sleep, I will sleep."

There was no movement behind him for a long time.

Until a sigh sounded in the night: "It's all my fault, I'm too selfish, I only think about myself, and I caused you trouble... But... the habit of thinking of coming to you when I have insomnia, it seems that it is not so easy to get rid of... Nine years ago , when I first became a wandering soul, I was always awake at night. At that time, I was young and very scared, so I went to the Internet Rehabilitation Center to find you, and you would come out through the window to accompany me. Even if you were too sleepy to keep your eyes open, you would beat me Spirit chat with me..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Heng smiled lightly, as if recalling a very good thing, but after a while, his voice sank again: "But everything has changed now, the only person who always has trouble with memories should be I'm just alone...I know, I'm a man and you feel angry and disappointed, and even want to divorce me...It's okay, I can understand you...Go to sleep, I'll go back to the room, don't bother You, it shouldn't be a big deal to hear that lullaby over and over again, it's because I'm too sensitive..."

Xiao Qi's head was still covered by the quilt, but his eyes gleamed faintly in the darkness, his expression slightly depressed.

The more Zhou Heng said, the more uncomfortable he felt, the more sour he felt, the more he felt hard to let go of the past.

Xiao Qi clearly remembered that at the Internet ring center, Zhou Heng had a small white face in the middle of the night, showing a look of grievance and panic, lying under the window sill, looking at him through a window. The eyes exude the meaning of asking for help and trust.

At that time, Zhou Heng's edges and corners were not yet clear, and his pretty face was truly charming. When Xiao Qi saw him, his heart melted, and Zhou Heng shouted "Kong Kong, come out" through the window, what did Xiao Qi do? He could still be scruples about the strict rules and regulations in the Internet Rehabilitation Center, so he directly unscrewed the screws on the window, pulled the iron bars, and went over the window to accompany him.

Xiao Qi thought that Zhou Heng was timid before, nine years had passed, maybe he hadn't made any progress at all, that's why he felt insomnia when he heard the singing downstairs in the middle of the night... For some reason, he felt a faint pain in his heart.

At this moment there was the sound of a wheelchair rolling behind him, Xiao Qi couldn't lie down anymore, he lifted the quilt and sat up, his hair was still slightly messy.

He lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, and said in a vague voice: "I can't sleep, I'll walk with you."

Zhou Heng stopped the wheelchair, and under the faint moonlight, he turned half of his face sideways, and said hesitantly, "Then... I'll get you a coat."

***

Pushing the wheelchair, Xiao Qi took the elevator with Zhou Heng to the first floor.

After leaving the building, Xiao Qi let out a soft "hiss", pulled up the zipper of the jacket he was wearing outside his pajamas, and said, "It's so cold."

Although it is the end of August, the temperature at night is as cold as late autumn due to the typhoon.

Then, Xiao Qi asked: "Where are you going?"

When they got downstairs, there was no singing around.

"Did you hear any other sounds when you were upstairs?" Zhou Heng asked.

Xiao Qi recalled a bit, said: "It seems that something fell from the south side of the building, and I woke up for a while."

Zhou Heng suggested: "Shall we go over there and have a look?"

After getting off, Xiao Qi didn't care, he held the handle of the wheelchair and said, "Let's have a look."

Building 42 is a conjoined structure of three units. It is located at the border of Tiancheng Homeland. Because there is a relatively wide river behind it, the builder simply saved the fence.

Zhou Heng sat in a wheelchair, with a blanket covering his legs, and Xiao Qi pushed him forward.

Because it was late at night, several lights in the community were turned off, and the lights were turned down by one degree. In addition, the moonlight was dim tonight, so the visibility on the road was low, and even the shadows under our feet were in a trance. Dizzy into a ball.

The two bypassed the green belt next to Unit 42 of Building 3, turned right, and stepped onto a path built along the river.

The path is parallel to the three unit buildings of Building 42, and there is a piece of grass in between. The nearby grass will be trimmed symbolically, but the closer to the wall, the deeper the grass and the more messy it is.

Xiao Qi stopped at the end of the small road, looked at the three buildings, counted them with his hands up, and said: "You live in the second unit, which is the building in the middle, on the twelfth floor... At that time, hearing the sound of landing, it should be downstairs from your house. Not far away, tsk... your neighbors are not good enough, who throws objects in the sky in the middle of the night?"

As Xiao Qi counted, he became irritable and had a bad impression of the nearby residents.

"You wait here." Xiao Qi took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight, and said to Zhou Heng, "I'll go downstairs and have a look over there, if someone really throws things downstairs, take a video to keep evidence, and ask the property management for mediation tomorrow. "

Zhou Heng turned his face to look at Xiao Qi, and said: "I'll go with you."

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Qi zipped his coat to the top, bit the zipper, and said inarticulately, "There is still a place to keep out the wind... just wait for me."

Zhou Heng's heart moved slightly, when he looked at Xiao Qi, his eyebrows and eyes were like melting snow, and his smile deepened.

Perhaps even Xiao Qi himself doesn't know that he always shows concern for others inadvertently. Therefore, although he behaves carelessly, he always has a soft temperament that attracts people around him.

Zhou Heng wanted to say something else.

Just at this moment, the sound of the wheels of the suitcase rolling across the ground came from the other side of the path.

Xiao Qi and Zhou Heng looked towards the source of the sound at the same time, and saw a tall and strong man walking in the dark night.

The lights were too dim and far away, so they couldn't see the man's specific appearance clearly. They could only see the man pushing a thigh-high suitcase beside him.

After walking two steps, the man also saw two young men, seemed to be surprised, and stopped where he was.

A moment later, a beam of flashlight came over and hit Xiao Qi and Zhou Heng.

"Who's there?" The man's voice was forceful.

Xiao Qi and Zhou Heng looked at each other, and reported his family name: "I live in Building 42."

Hearing this, the man turned off the flashlight, pushed the suitcase with one hand and continued to walk forward, and after a while, he stood in front of Xiao Qi and Zhou Heng.

Through the dim light, it can be seen that this is a middle-aged man in his 30s, with an ordinary appearance, a square chin, an unshaven chin, and a large black coat.

As the man approached, the smell of inferior perfume became stronger.

The first time Xiao Qi saw the man, he remembered that he had met him in the elevator about half a month ago.

It was raining that night, and the man was wearing a black raincoat and a hat, which blocked the upper half of his face. Although Xiao Qi couldn't see the man's whole picture clearly at the time, he had a good memory and recognized the man by his chin.

Xiao Qi still remembered that that night, beside the man was dragging a similar suitcase, which also smelled of perfume.

Xiao Qi has a sensitive nose and doesn't like the smell, so he unconsciously took a step to Zhou Heng's side.

He glanced at the suitcase next to the man, and said seemingly unintentionally, "Have I seen you?"

"Is there?" The man laughed loudly, rubbed the back of his head, and said, "But it's also possible, I live in Unit 42 of Building 2, if we live in the same unit, we might actually meet each other... Oh, yes, My name is Chen Fang, and I live on the tenth floor."

Because the man took the initiative to introduce himself, Xiao Qi's vigilance eased a little, out of politeness, he said indifferently: "My name is Xiao Qi, his name is Zhou Heng, and they both live on the twelfth floor."

Chen Fang glanced back and forth between the two young people, and said uncertainly: "You are—"

Xiao Qi hastily answered, and said decisively: "Friend."

"Are you new here?" The man spoke out almost at the same time as Xiao Qi.

"..." Xiao Qi seemed to realize that he was thinking too much, lowered his head, put his hands in his trouser pockets, kicked the weeds under his feet, and said "um".

"Of course I know you are friends." Chen Fang laughed "hehe", thinking he was humorous, "Two big guys live together, not friends, are they still young couples?"

"..." Xiao Qi didn't want to speak.

Zhou Heng smiled lightly, but didn't say anything.

He took out his cell phone from his coat pocket, looked at the time, and said, "It's so late, you just came back from a business trip?"

Chen Fang glanced at the suitcase beside him, realized it, patted the lever, and said, "No, I just got off work."

Zhou Heng was slightly surprised: "What do you do?"

"Don't be afraid to say it." Chen Fang might feel tired from standing, he slapped down the crossbar, sat down on the suitcase, smiled, and said, "Working in a funeral home, there are always so many times a week." I work night shifts for a few days, so I often come back late, and the rest is also reversed."

Xiao Qi couldn't help but glanced at the suitcase again, knowing it in his heart, and said: "So you put so much perfume on it?"

Use perfume to mask the rotting smell of the corpse.

When we met last time, Xiao Qi could distinguish a trace of corpse odor from the pungent perfume.

"You discovered all of this?" Chen Fang said embarrassedly, "Because the boxes are usually kept in the work unit, there will always be that smell, which is inevitable."

Zhou Heng looked at the suitcase thoughtfully. Then, he tilted his head slightly, looked at Chen Fang with a slight smile and said, "I have to bring such a big suitcase to and from get off work? It looks troublesome. I usually put it in it." A lot of things, right?"

"Damn, how can I? I forgot to mention." Chen Fang waved his hand and said, "I plan to move the day after tomorrow, so about half a month ago, I started to pack my things and transport them to my new home little by little. This box is from the unit. Bring it, move house, I just leave work early tonight, I plan to go to my new home to deliver things before going to bed, so I just ran into you..."

Having said that, Chen Fang patted the big box sitting under him, and there was a hollow sound coming from inside. Immediately afterwards, he said "Hey?" and asked, "What are you doing here so late? You are taking a walk."

Xiao Qi pointed to the top, Qingyue's voice lazily said: "In the middle of the night, I first heard someone throwing a projectile in the sky, and then there was a woman singing downstairs, I woke up, let's come down to see what's going on."

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Chen Fang's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Xiao Qi with a sense of panic, and then hurriedly staggered his gaze, looking at the ground aside, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end He shut his mouth again.

Anyone could see that Chen Fang lost control of his expression in an instant.

Xiao Qi had no choice but to have doubts, squinted his eyes, and asked: "What's wrong?"

Chen Fang lowered his head, pressed a corner of the box, and said in a muffled voice: "It's okay..." But the next second, he said in a low voice, "You are new here, if you still want to live here, there are some things, Don't ask too much..."

The more ambiguous Chen Fang said, the more curiosity could be aroused.

Xiao Qi thought for a while, looked at Zhou Heng, and said, "I'll go and have a look."

At this moment, Chen Fang stretched out an arm, blocked the aisle, and said, "Don't go."

Xiao Qi and Zhou Heng raised their eyebrows tacitly.

Chen Fang sighed, as if he had compromised, and said, "I just came over from there...you can't find anything."

He opened one side of the black jacket, reached out and took out something from it.

Xiao Qi and Zhou Heng looked at the same time, and saw that there was a doll in Chen Fang's hand.

The doll was dirty, with curly hair tied into twin ponytails, a corpse-like blue-gray face, dark eyes that faintly reflected the light, and a round face with a smile.

In the dark night, such a thing was suddenly taken out from the man's arms, and it became more and more strange.

Zhou Heng looked at the doll for a while, then turned his face to Xiao Qi and praised: "Look at this little thing, it looks so cute."

Chen Fang: "..."

Xiao Qi said: "...do you want to buy one for you to put on the bed?"

Chen Fang coughed, brought back the topic in time, and asked, "Is this the singing you heard?"

As he spoke, he squeezed the doll's body with his big hands.

"Shhhhhhhhhhh, baby, stop talking! Mommy's going to buy you a robin, and if the robin won't sing, Mama's going to buy you a diamond ring, and if the diamond ring turns yellow Copper, mom will buy you a mirror!"

The tune-changed electronic music suddenly sounded in the silent night, singing a foreign nursery rhyme, which was very ear-piercing.

As Chen Fang pressed the doll's body again, the music stopped suddenly.

Xiao Qi rubbed one ear, and said without words: "Just now this thing was singing downstairs?"

Chen Fang nodded solemnly.

The wind was strong at night, and Zhou Heng's hands were cold. He stretched his hands into the blanket, narrowed his eyes slightly in the wind, and said, "You said you just came from there, did you see what fell on the ground?"

Chen Fang nodded again, he glanced at Zhou Heng, then at Xiao Qi, sent the doll forward some distance, and said in a trembling voice: "That's it..."

Xiao Qi waved his hand directly, saying: "Impossible."

Zhou Heng smiled slightly: "The sound we heard was very heavy, at least [-] to [-] kilograms fell to the ground."

Chen Fang didn't answer immediately, but put the doll on the suitcase between his legs, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket with trembling hands, took one out of it himself, then paused slightly, remembering Give Xiao Qi and Zhou Heng a cigarette each.

Xiao Qi said: "Thank you."

Zhou Heng smiled: "Thank you, I don't smoke."

Xiao Qigang bit the cigarette holder, glanced sideways, and saw Zhou Heng's pale face, then he lowered his eyes, took off the cigarette silently, and stuffed it into his jacket pocket.

Chen Fang had already lit the cigarette, but the hand holding the cigarette was still trembling uncontrollably.

He took two deep puffs of the cigarette, puffed out the mist, calmed down a little, and then said slowly: "When I first picked it up downstairs, it was indeed forty or fifty kilograms."

Xiao Qi pushed Zhou Heng to the upper air outlet, avoiding the smoke,

He looked at the doll on the suitcase and said calmly, "How is it possible?"

"I thought so too at the time!" Chen Fang raised his head suddenly, looked at Xiao Qi with unusually bright eyes, and said a little excitedly, "But it just happened like hell!"

There was a moment of silence.

Zhou Heng stretched out his hand and said, "Can you let me see?"

Chen Fang didn't give the doll to Zhou Heng immediately, but took another puff of cigarette.

The cigarette butts were flickering, Chen Fang's face was pale, and he said with trembling lips, "Listen to my story first, and then consider whether you want to touch this thing..."

***

The first time Chen Fang saw this ghostly doll was on his way home from get off work half a year ago.

It was winter, very cold, and in the early hours of the morning, there was a white mist hanging in the air.

Chen Fang drove past the west side of Building 42 and was just about to enter the underground parking lot when he suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The sound was like someone jumping from a high place.

Chen Fang works in a funeral home, and he is more courageous than ordinary people. He got out of the car, flicked on a flashlight, and followed the movements in his memory to grope for the grass in the south of Building 42. cloth doll.

It is not a large object as imagined.

Chen Fang raised his head subconsciously, took a flashlight and took a photo upstairs, and vaguely saw a head with long hair hanging on the balcony of the upper floor.
