Strange disease

It was already dark when we descended.

Afraid that the way out would be difficult, and there are often wild animals here, it is not safe to go out at night, so we decided to spend the night in the village and wait until dawn the next day before leaving.

Grandma's house is at the foot of the mountain. The old man left when I was in high school. She was healthy and happy.

At that time, my mother was still there, but there was a lot of pressure at home to support me in studying. Many relatives advised her to sell the house to others cheaply, but she insisted on not wanting to keep the house intact even if it was vacant. .

I remember clearly, at that time she said, you don’t know, the dead will come back, we as children sold her home, if she misses us, come here to have a look, even the place where she lives If not, where else could she go?

She always talked about it like this, and at that time I could only be half-believing, where would a person go after death, would he come back, who would know such mysterious things?

But in the end, we gritted our teeth and left grandma's house. When we have time, we will go back and clean it up, put the things she left behind in the original place, and carefully remove the dust and cobwebs.

In that way, when we walked into the house again, it seemed that she had not been away from us for a long time, and it seemed that she had just gone on a long trip.

Xi Rong and I walked into the deserted courtyard. Fortunately, the circuit in the house was still alive and hadn't gone on strike, otherwise we might have to live a primitive life without electric lights for one night.

As soon as I entered the room, there was an old musty smell. It hadn't been cleaned up for a long time. The old chandelier above my head flicked a few times before it lit up tremblingly. There were a few dusty moths and small flying insects. Spin around the light bulb.

The old house has not been lived in for a long time, and it feels cold. The bamboo mats spread on the wooden rocking chairs are covered with mildew spots, and the floor is covered with a thick layer of dust, which is difficult to clean immediately.

The room is not big, so there is no need to think about modern facilities such as a shower. There is not even a flush toilet here, so you have to take a spittoon to empty it.

After all, I have lived in this place since I was a child, and I am quite used to it, not to mention that I am a dead person who pays so much attention to what to do, where to sleep is not what to sleep, but I know that Xi Rong is a bit of a clean freak, and he has never lived such a life , I'm worried that he can't stand it.

Xi Rong didn't say much.

There are two bedrooms, the one where grandma used to live is still covered with red and green quilts, but the quilts are also covered with dust, so I'm afraid they can't be used.There is also a small room that was my original residence. We found a quilt and pillows that were stored in the cabinet. It was clean and could barely sleep the two of us.

This room carries most of my childhood memories. When I was a child, I loved to collect dogtail grass. I don’t know what kind of magic, I secretly hid a bunch of them in a drawer, and now there is only a pile of “mummy” lying there.

I still keep a diary, and that book was brought back when my grandmother and I went to the town. There is a lock at the hinge, which is very new to children.

I dug out the diary, and it was all dusty, and I hid the keys in the piggy bank next to the bed.

I don't quite remember what I wrote at that time, and I'm still a little curious.

As a result, after opening the first page, there was only one crooked sentence on the front, and eight dog-like square characters appeared prominently and hugely in the center of the paper.

"I had a good meal today."

"Open~~heart~~"

Then?And then it's gone.

The following pages are all empty.

…………OK.

I have to say that when I was five or six years old, my writing talent was pretty good. There were only eight words in a diary, and a greedy and lazy character emerged vividly and three-dimensionally on the paper.

Just as I was flipping through the various old masterpieces in the room with great interest, Xi Rong quietly appeared behind me at some point.

He put one hand around my waist from behind, I was startled, but he lowered his body slightly, but his face was close to my neck, just in time to see the bright words in the diary.

I could feel him laughing lightly, it sounded like he was in a good mood.

He actually laughed at me!

I put down my face, slammed the diary shut, and said pretending to be annoyed: "You are not allowed to read it!"

Xi Rong naturally kissed my face in this position, and said in a hoarse voice: "Baby, were you so cute when you were young?"

I immediately blushed. Fortunately, the light in the old house was dim, so it shouldn't be easy to find... maybe.

Depend on!Can I say hello before he teases me next time?This sudden attack from time to time is really too lethal, I can't bear it...

At night, we huddled together on a crumbling bed with our clothes on, and the crisp and crisp crickets could be heard outside the window.

Just when I was about to fall asleep, Xi Rong's voice suddenly broke the silence.

He asked me in an unusually serious tone: "Ruan Li, are you injured?"

I was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously answered "no".

Then after I finished speaking, I realized something was wrong. Why did Xi Rong ask such a question suddenly?

I'm not really hurt, but...

But my "" is not good yet.

After the weather has turned cold recently, there are not many festering and bleeding places on my body. Although it doesn’t look obvious when I wear clothes, I usually change the band-aids twice sooner or later carefully to remove all the blood. It is inevitable that Xi Rong will notice the leakage.

But today, we went out for a day, and I haven't had time to deal with it, and tonight, due to restrictions, I didn't even take a shower...

Now that we are so close, Xi Rong, as a doctor, is already sensitive to this, especially... the smell of blood.

I suddenly felt a strong panic, my brain went blank, and even my heart stopped beating suddenly.

Did Xi Rong discover something?

I hurriedly searched for words and tried to cover it up. A second was as long as a century. Finally, I turned over and said dryly: "...Oh, maybe I was scratched by a branch when I went down the mountain. Don't tell me Didn't even notice..."

Xi Rong's voice came from behind: "Where is the injury? Show me."

I knew he would ask that question, and I immediately shrank away from him, leaning against the edge of the bed, trying to stay as far away from him as possible.

"...Small injury! It's okay! Don't look at it."

I was half panicked, and as soon as I said that, I immediately realized that my concealed behavior was actually more likely to arouse his suspicion.

It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and I was really in a state where my brain's wit and IQ were offline, and I couldn't react at all.

Xi Rong, don't ask, don't ask.

I kept repeating silently in my heart, only hoping that my voice would come true.

However, Xi Rong pulled me over and dragged me from the bed back to his arms so abruptly. His voice was concerned but his attitude was quite serious: "Why are you hiding? Where did you get hurt?"

His blow was so powerful that I had no room to resist at all, so I had no choice but to hold on to my collar in vain, not wanting him to see it.

But at this moment, he sat up and turned on the electric light by the bed, the electric current sizzled, and the dim light illuminated my whole body, Xi Rong straightened up and looked at me condescendingly.

He looked at my shrinking appearance, his eyes were cold, which made my heart twitch involuntarily.

"What are you doing?" he asked coldly, "Is there anything else on your body that I haven't seen?"

"Hey, that's not what I meant... I didn't do anything, it's just a small injury, I don't want you to worry." I looked at him with wide eyes, and said in a pitiful soft voice, "Don't be fierce, don't be fierce to me."

Xi Rong stared at me for a long time, then sighed: "I didn't blame you."

Seeing him soften his voice, my tense nerves relaxed a little.

I know him well, and I also know that when he is really tough, it is useless for me to defend myself. Tonight, I will definitely be caught up in the end. At this time, I must not confront him head-on. Seeing that my secret was almost exposed, the situation is urgent. With a sudden inspiration, this is the worst plan.

I took the initiative to beg for mercy, and he really didn't pursue it anymore.

He turned off the light, tucked in the quilt, wrapped his arms firmly around me: "Go to sleep."

I lay motionless, but I was really worried. I was anxious all night and didn't dare to close my eyes.

I should never underestimate Xi Rong's perception.

In fact, every time I tried to hide something from him in the past, it always ended up showing me as the only one playing the clown.

Only this matter, only this matter... No matter what, he can't let him find out.

I didn't expect that even though I was extremely cautious and walked on thin ice, I still couldn't escape a hundred secrets and revealed clues.
