Jie Ling Lu

The little girl sitting in the bathtub is undoubtedly the Yueyue who pestered Ji Xinxi to play games a few hours ago, but it is different from the innocent and cute back then. People look disgusted, those weird green eyes, the whites of the eyes are bloodshot, and the hair on the back of the person watching.

Xun Youling and Qu Ruoxun heard Ji Xinxi talk about Yueyue, looked at the little girl with a strange expression in front of them, and said in surprise: "You said that this water ghost is the little pervert who dragged you tonight? But the cuteness you said is not a star and a half, Xixi, if I didn't know that I am good-looking, I would have doubted your aesthetics."

Ji Xinxi was distracted by Xun Youling's words, she moved her gaze away from Yueyue, and signaled Qu Ruogong to move the woman on the ground to the sofa, she got up and said, "When I saw her , she is a spirit body, and she is definitely not what she is now, you said she is a water ghost, but she should still be a human being, right?"

Xun Youling nodded and then shook her head again. Seeing Ji Xinxi's puzzled face, she was about to open her mouth to explain when suddenly heavy footsteps came from outside the door. The owner who heard the footsteps should be running upstairs, so Xun Youling Ling closed his mouth and looked towards the door together with Ji Xinxi.

As the footsteps approached, there were heavy panting sounds, and a thin middle-aged man appeared at the door, his face full of stubble set off his black and blue eye bags, and he looked haggard.

Seeing the faces of the three men in the room was also full of surprise, and then turned into an angry voice: "Who are you who let you in."

As he said that, he stumbled towards Ji Xinxi and the others, and the two of them silently dodged away from the man. The other party's goal was obviously not theirs. He grabbed the door of the bathroom, took a quick look inside, then closed the door carefully, and stood In front of the door, staring at the three people in the room, he also noticed the woman lying on the sofa.

Shocked again, she came to the woman in a panic, Qu Ruogong nimbly stepped aside and came to Ji Xinxi and the others. When the man came in, her feet had already landed on the ground, and now she was wrinkling in disgust. brow.

When the man passed by Ji Xinxi just now, she smelled a very familiar smell, which was the smell of incense. Recently, the family offered incense to Wen Lianzhen every day, so she was very familiar with it, but at this time Xun Youling let out a light sigh , Said: "Isn't this the person who almost bumped into you in the past that day? The good guy has bumped into you again."

After her reminder, Ji Xinxi also remembered the unpleasant encounter at the gate of the community a few days ago, but he did not expect that this person lived upstairs in her house.

The man checked the woman's situation, called his wife twice, and seeing that the woman didn't intend to wake up, he immediately turned around and poured out his money at Ji Xinxi and the others angrily: "Who are you? In other people's homes, is it your fault that my wife is like this, I warn you, you'd better tell me about this, if something happens to my wife, none of you will try to run away. "

As he said that, he was about to take out his mobile phone to make a call, apparently wanting to call the police, but then his eyes slipped around the bathroom door, and he hesitated, Ji Xinxi saw a series of changes in him Here, he saw the time and gave the other party the next step.

"Hi sir, don't get angry, let us have a word." Ji Xinxi said.

Xun Youling on the side chimed in and said, "That's right, we didn't come to your house for a walk at night when we were full."

"Some people, don't bite Lu Dongbin because you don't know a good heart. If we are good people here, it will make us ashamed." Qu Ruotong interjected coolly.

When Xun Youling and Qu Ruosong went out together, the output was not something that anyone could handle. The two of them sang bad faces together, but it was said that Ji Xinxi became more and more amiable.

The man's complexion was said to be blue and purple, and he couldn't speak. Ji Xinxi shook his head helplessly, raised a polite smile, and said, "Mr., we are also residents of this community, so we live here." Downstairs in your house, when we got up in the middle of the night, we found that the ceiling was leaking. If you don’t believe me, you can go down with us to have a look, so we went upstairs and knocked on your door, but there was no response after knocking for a long time. At this time, we found that your door was not closed. "

"You said that there was a water leak at night, and your house didn't close when you went upstairs. We were also worried about what happened. The neighbors thought we couldn't pretend we didn't see it, so we opened the door of your house. We don’t intend to enter the door without anyone, after all, you have seen what’s going on in your house.”

"But as soon as we opened the door, we saw your wife lying on the door of the bathroom, face down, unable to shout, and she was about to be drowned by this little water. We were eager to save her and walked in the door, and quickly helped her to the sofa. Come on, come back as soon as you put this person down, if you really want to go to the police station with us, we have reasons and reasons to not be afraid of trouble."

"But if you think we are young and inexperienced, and you insist on breaking up with us, although we are kind-hearted, we are not easy to bully, and we will never let it go. When I say this, please express your opinion." Having said that, Ji Xinxi also restrained his smile.

What she said was basically the truth, except that the part where the door was not closed was covered up, but there was no way to verify this small detail, after all, the door lock had neither signs of damage nor their fingerprints.

After hearing what Ji Xinxi said, the man couldn't say a word, and now he is the one who doesn't know what to do. He opened his mouth, raised his face and looked at Ji Xinxi with bloodshot eyes for a while.

Xun Youling lost his patience and opened his mouth and said, "What's the matter? Didn't you speak clearly enough?"

The man shook his head, got up from the ground, the water on the ground wet his pants, he looked indescribably downcast, completely lost the momentum just now, Xun Youling originally wanted to say a few more words, seeing the man's words so eloquently Swallowed it back again.

"Three, I went too far, and I was in a hurry. I apologize to the three. You have seen the situation in my house. Let me deal with it before I go to your door to apologize. There is also this matter of water seepage in the ceiling. Please call someone over to deal with it yourself, but don’t worry, I will bear all the expenses.”

"You have also seen that my whole family can't run away in the current situation. You are considerate and considerate of me, and let me deal with the family affairs first."

Having said all this, Ji Xinxi and the three of them couldn't hold on anymore. Seeing how nervous the man was, asking Yueyue's situation directly would trigger another wave of defensive reactions from the other party. The people exchanged glances and decided to withdraw temporarily.

So Ji Xinxi nodded to the man, and replied: "We are not unreasonable people, you deal with your family's affairs first, and we will go home first."

The man thanked him again and again, and walked all the way to the door. When Ji Xinxi was about to leave, he suddenly turned around, looked at him and said meaningfully: "Please turn off the faucet of the bathtub first, or there will be no end to the water. Is it your daughter? Excuse me, but the little girl is not looking well."

The man didn't answer, and made a gesture to close the door, but Xun Youling interjected lightly: "The water ghost wants his life, one life for another." Her voice was not high enough for the man to hear.

Before the man could react, Ji Xinxi lowered his head and apologized, and pulled Xun Youling away. It wasn't until they walked back downstairs that Ji Xinxi heard the sound of the upstairs door lock falling.

She raised her eyes to the sky outside the window, and it was still dark without a trace of light. It was so gloomy that it made people feel uncomfortable. Qu Ruogong walked past her, motioned her to regain her senses, and opened her mouth and said, "It looks like it's going to rain today." , I really hate it."

The three of them were not in the mood to go back to sleep, and simply cleaned up the dripping water. In fact, it was not that there was a quality problem with the ceiling, but because the resentment seeped down, and even some water vapor was brought down. , The little that accumulates turns into water. To be on the safe side, Ji Xinxi still took a short video for a rainy day.

The sky is not yet bright, and the darkness before dawn is the worst, so they don't plan to go to the place where Ji Xinxi met Yueyue yesterday to check at this time. They think it's better to go out for breakfast earlier, and the breakfast shops should be almost open by this time .

It was too early when I came to the breakfast shop to order and sit down, there were only three of them in the whole shop, Ji Xinxi and the others did not sit inside, but sat on the table outside, feeling more comfortable.

It wasn't long before I sat down, and the food had just been lit and cooked, when a voice broke the tranquility of the morning.

"Hey, it's really rare. You young people also get up so early."

The three of them followed the prestige and found that it was the gatekeeper of the community, holding an old-fashioned stainless steel cup in his hand, and said to the proprietress of the breakfast shop, "It's still the same."

Xun Youling went out early and returned late a few days ago, but he got acquainted with the guard and said hello, "Master, you're here for breakfast too."

The old man moved a chair and sat next to them, and said with a smile: "I'm getting older and less sleepy. I come here at a fixed time every day to get a bowl of tofu nao. I can count on this bowl of tofu nao if I don't drink it. Uncomfortable."

Ji Xinxi's heart moved, he moved the chair under him, and greeted the uncle to join them: "Master, since we met, come with us, and you often take care of us on weekdays."

The uncle stroked his bald head and said with a smile, "Why don't you take care of me? I'll just watch the door, and if I don't know anything else, I just help out with errands." But after all, he sat a little closer.

Ji Xinxi smiled and then praised a few more words, seemingly inadvertently diverted the topic from what he was thinking, and said: "We used to be sleeping at this moment, and we thought it was unlucky that there was too much movement upstairs. It was so noisy that people couldn't sleep, but now I'm chatting with you, uncle, I think it's rare to get up earlier."

Hearing this, the uncle suddenly had a strange expression on his face, and said with a frown, "I remember that the new family moved to your building. No wonder, that family has not been living well recently. I also feel very unlucky when I look at it."

Ji Xinxi pricked up his ears, and answered, "It turns out that we are new here. I said it looked unfamiliar. There hasn't been any noise upstairs for so many years, so why did it suddenly come up?"

The uncle put the cup in his hand on the table, and said sighingly: "It's no wonder you don't know, I remember that when the family moved in, it happened to be the time when you were away. Pretty honest, but it's only been over a month since I moved here, so guess what?"

Xun Youling responded cooperatively, "What's wrong?"

The uncle shook his head and said, "The child is lost."
