Book House Strange Talk

The retro phonograph creaked and sang songs that Tai Yi had never heard before. The waiter behind the cooking counter saw him coming in and gave him a slight nod, pointing to the menu at the bar to let him look at it first.

Tai Yi flipped through the menu casually and ordered an ice cream. He walked behind Miss Xiaohan and saw that she was reading a novel in a foreign language. The pearl hairpin exudes a warm luster under the warm light of the coffee shop. She obviously didn't notice Tai Yi behind her.

The welcoming bell at the door rang a few times, and Tai Yi looked back subconsciously, a curly-haired woman in a white cheongsam rushed in, walking straight in Tai Yi's direction, Tai Yi quickly moved aside a few times when he saw the momentum Unexpectedly, this person didn't even look at her and sat directly across from Xiaohan, throwing the exquisite handbag on the round table heavily, causing the guests at the next table to cast their gazes.

"Look, I'm so angry that you don't even look at me!" The curly-haired woman's voice was a little naive, and she forcibly closed the book in front of Xiaohan, and Xiaohan looked up at her.

"What's wrong? You're so angry."

"I played cards with them seven or eight times and didn't win a single game. I'm so annoyed."

Tai Yi looked at the two people in front of him and started chatting with each other. After looking around the store, he realized that the other tables in the store were all square tables, but the table these two people were sitting on was a round table with It is covered with delicately embroidered tablecloths.

In this corner, the two people wearing one green and one white cheongsam are out of place in this shop, but no one noticed this place, and no one seemed to notice him.

After recovering, the two of them got up and were about to leave. Tai Yi hesitated to follow. The curly-haired woman walked out holding Xiao Han's arm. When she walked out of the shop, she pulled her hair behind her ears and looked back at Tai Yi, showing a meaningful smile, with this action Tai Yi found the bracelet on her wrist.

It's the one Miss Xiaohan picked up.

Without even thinking about it, Tai Yi raised his foot and quickly followed, the crisp welcome bell was knocked away by him. After a few rings of the bell, he pushed open the door and the dazzling sunset shook him. He raised his hand to block it, and then dropped his hand. A rickshaw just ran past him.

This street has completely changed. It is not the night when the sun has disappeared when we first entered the coffee shop. People in cheongsam, western suits and suits are walking around on the street, as if they are in a hurry to go home for dinner. Occasionally, there will be children Passing through him, Tai Yi looked down at himself and at the people on the street, he seemed to have entered a strange place again.

He appeared here abruptly in this street scene, but no one noticed him, as if he was standing transparently.

Tai Yi touched his chest, he was still wearing the small bag containing Bai Ze's hair, and he didn't know how to get out of this place, but Bai Ze's hair shouldn't be a big deal here, seeing Xiao Han My sister and the woman had already gone far away, so Tai Yi hurriedly followed.

The two stopped at a restaurant and said a few words. It seemed that Xiaohan didn't really want to eat here, but she still didn't beat the curly-haired woman, and she dragged her into the restaurant.

Tai Yi also went in, sat on the empty table beside them and listened to their chat.Sister Xiaohan seems to be married, and this curly-haired woman is married to the same person, Tai Yi is a little uncertain when he sees how happy they are getting along.

He watched the aunts and wives in this TV series all talk in secret. These two are like good sisters. At the moment, they are discussing what to do for her husband when he comes back from other places tomorrow. dishes, Tai Yi nodded knowingly, they really are married together, it seems that sister Xiaohan is the eldest wife, and this curly-haired girl is the concubine.

However, he really didn't expect Miss Xiaohan's temper to be able to tolerate the concubine.

After the meal, it was dark outside, and a black car was parked outside the restaurant. I don't know when it stopped here to pick up the pair of sisters and go home.

The driver opened the door of the back seat, Xiao Han got into the car first, and the curly-haired woman sat in the back seat too, when she sat down, she stopped for a moment and looked at Tai Yi with a pursed smile, as if waiting for him specially Just like getting in the car.

Tai Yi suppressed the frustration in his heart and took advantage of the pause before closing the door to follow in.

Soon we arrived in front of a magnificent white western-style building, and a special person opened the iron gate outside the western-style building. As soon as we entered the main building, the pair of sisters holding hands disappeared, and we walked forward a few steps These two people reappeared on the sofa in the living room, but their appearance was very different from what they met just now——Sister Xiaohan leaned on the sofa with her swollen belly supported, and the woman took the tonic brought by the servant and put it on the table Stir lightly to let it cool down quickly.

Tai Yi stood on the spot and looked at it for a while, guessing that maybe he just opened the door and entered a new time and space, just like an immersive theater, and the audience can participate in every scene.

He walked slowly into the depths of the house, and suddenly heard the sound of a violin in the silence. Following the sound, he walked to the dining room and saw a five or six-year-old boy in a suit with his eyes closed playing a simple melody. The woman listened carefully, and after the song was over, the woman hugged the boy, praised and praised, and kissed several times, the boy who kissed shyly turned around and fell into Miss Xiaohan's arms and looked at her embarrassedly.

Through the dining room is the back door of the house, connected to the beautiful garden, a drenched boy with a pale face was embraced by Xiao Han by the European-style fountain, her crying and the curly-haired woman's angry reprimand gradually disappeared, and in front of him The scenes shattered like suddenly shattered glass.

Looking back at the Western-style building, Tai Yi walked back to the lobby through the back door. A couple of newlyweds were surrounded by everyone to receive their blessings. The servants were going in and out of a room on the second floor, and Tai Yi squeezed through the crowd to the second floor.

Unlike the hustle and bustle of the hall, the second floor can be said to be quiet. All the servants of the family went to the back kitchen and the hall to help, leaving only two or three on the second floor.

Tai Yi followed a servant into a bedroom, and when he entered, he saw Miss Xiaohan lying on the bed with her eyes closed and pale face, the curly-haired woman was sitting on the sofa chair beside the bed, reading a book to her softly.Seemingly seeing Tai Yi, he raised his head to look in his direction and then lowered his head to continue reading.

Now Tai Yi is absolutely sure that this woman must be looking for him to do something, but since the previous few incidents have been related to his "past", and this incident has involved sister Xiaohan, there is no way to do it for a while. Determine whether it has anything to do with him before.

Thinking uneasy in my heart, it would be great if Xing Yang was here, but fortunately this woman doesn't seem to want to hurt him.

It's just that he didn't know how to leave here for a while, and the woman just left him without moving. Tai Yi left the room and lay down on the fence of the corridor to watch the excitement below.

When they went upstairs just now, it was the couple who were receiving their blessings, but now they have already started toasting at the tables.

"I don't know which concubine this is." Tai Yi muttered.

Tai Yi always felt that the place below was weird, and after looking at it for a while, he didn't realize that it was strange. After scanning the guests downstairs for a long time, he realized that something was wrong—why there are two skeletons sitting in this table of guests!

One of the two skeletons was wearing a long gown and a suit, and the other was wearing a cheongsam with a top hat. Only the heads of the two skeletons were not conspicuous, so Tai Yi didn't notice it at first sight.

The two skeletons raised their heads to meet Tai Yi's gaze, each of them picked up a musical instrument from the chair, the male skeleton was holding the sanxian, and the female skeleton was holding the pipa, and they started talking like that.

After plucking the sanxian a few times, the male skeleton said: "This week, the Zhou family married a concubine with six rooms, and one room is more delicate than the other."

He stopped, and the female skeleton immediately continued: "Look at this sixth aunt who is wearing gold and silver music and has lost her eyes. It's really pitiful. I don't know that I have entered the den of tigers and wolves."

Male skeleton: "Why did you enter the tiger and wolf den?"

The female skeleton glanced at him, quickly plucked the strings a few times, and said, "Why can't the sixth aunt come in and see the three, four, and five in front? This is what the second aunt eats too much!"

A burst of cold air rose from the soles of his feet, a tender white lotus root arm stretched out from behind him and rested on his shoulders, and his fingers touched his chin and earlobes along the way, Tai Yi only felt a chill, this person is the curly-haired woman , hugged his neck affectionately but pressed his head firmly and looked at the couple downstairs.

"Is it pretty, that woman?"

Tai Yi swallowed, not knowing what to say.

"Don't be afraid, tell me, is this woman prettier or me?"

Tai Yi tried his best to get out of the woman's bondage but failed, the woman asked again, and he said, "You look good."

The hand that was restraining the neck was removed, and Tai Yi staggered a few steps to the side. The woman was amused by him, covered her mouth and laughed a few times, put her finger on his lips, and said, "Why are you hiding? You are so funny." .”

After finishing speaking, the woman leaned on the railing and looked at him with a smile. Tai Yi saw her flesh rotted and fell off, and the grease and blood mixed together and flowed from her body like asphalt that hadn't dried. The face is only half rotten.

Tai Yi was taken aback, this person was the half-faced girl he had dreamed about a few days ago!

……

"Hello Hello?"

The waiter saw that the boy who entered the store started to fall asleep on his stomach since he was sitting on his seat. The ice cream he ordered was half melted. Seeing that the customer had fallen asleep for 10 minutes, the clerk suddenly remembered that he had read a news article , An office worker died suddenly while sleeping in a McDonald's, and he became worried, so he quickly pushed the boy a few times.

Tai Yixing closed his eyes a few times when he came along, looking at the clerk's worried expression, he was still a little confused: "I fell asleep?"

"Yes, I think you have slept for 10 minutes and I am afraid that something will happen to you."

"Oh... sorry, I'm really sleepy."

The clerk was relieved to see that he was fine, and brought him another cup of hot cocoa.

He also hadn't seen Miss Xiaohan for several days. Thinking about what he saw just now, maybe if he could figure out the ins and outs, he would be able to know the reason why Miss Xiaohan had been stranded in Yangjian and refused to leave.

In the next few days, Tai Yi stayed at home with a bit of an ostrich mentality, and didn't go to the study, nor took the initiative to contact Xing Yang, but Xing Yang sent him messages from time to time.

Seeing a sudden call from Xing Yang at this moment, Tai Yi immediately sat up straight on the bed, cleared his throat before answering: "Hello?"

"I just received the news that Cheng Ai died."

Tai Yi was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "How did you die?"

"Yesterday, her colleague wanted to send her some fruit to visit her. She knocked on the door and refused to answer the phone. When she called the police and opened the door, the person was out of breath. The doctor said that she had no intention of living, and she was asleep just go."

Hearing that Tai Yi couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, although it was the ending that he had known for a long time, he didn't expect how Cheng Ai would leave so early, so he had to say, "It's a happy death if you walk away in your sleep."

"Yes, do you want to come over to eat tonight? I'll pick you up."

When he said this, Xing Yang was actually downstairs at Tai Yi's house, standing outside the car door and looking up at Tai Yi's bedroom, he guessed that the kid was lazily lying on the bed and calling him, and the air conditioner was probably turned on very low.

"No, I'll eat at home." Tai Yi said.

I haven't heard Xing Yang speak for a long time, and Tai Yi is also silent. Neither of them said to hang up the phone. After such a stalemate for a while, suddenly Tai Fang's voice came from the phone.

"Why is Teacher Xing here? Are you here to pick up Xiaoyi? Have you eaten or not? I just bought fish today, let's eat together!" Tai Fang held up a big carp in his hand, and persuaded him a few more times. sentence.

Xing Yang smiled: "Then bother you."

"Oh, what kind of interruption is this? Xiao Yi goes to the study every day to bother the teacher, which is called interruption!"

Tai Yi hung up the phone and sighed, his father is really...he hasn't figured out how to talk to Xing Yang, when Xing Yang came in, he could only greet him with a smirk.

Fortunately, Tai's father was in a hurry to cook and didn't pay attention to his son's abnormality. Tai Fang was busy in the kitchen, and Tai Yi sat on the sofa with Xing Yang. This point was the news broadcast. Tai Yi thought he hadn't watched the news broadcast for four or five years. This thing is gone.

After the meal, Tai Yi didn't say a few words, but Tai Fang and Xing Yang chatted well, after the meal, Tai Yi hurriedly went to wash the dishes consciously, leaving the two of them to continue chatting.

On weekdays, my son is not very interested in current affairs news, and no one talks to him about it when he returns home. It’s rare for someone to chat with him. Tai’s father’s mouth is broken, and the conversation ranges from current affairs to choosing a major for Tai Yi’s school.

It would be impolite for a guest to come back to the house after Tai Yi, so he had to play with the mobile phone next to the two of them, and when he recovered, it was past nine o'clock.

Tai Yi was driven down by his father to send the teacher downstairs, he followed out like a little wife with the key down, the two walked one after the other, when they got to the side of the car Xing Yang said helplessly: "Don't you want to talk to me yet?" ?”

Tai Yi was embarrassed, touched his nose and lowered his head: "No, no."

"Hey," Xing Yang sighed and stroked his hair, "Go up and have a good rest for a few days."

"Ah."

When he turned around, Tai Yi felt aggrieved for no reason, patted himself on the face and cursed secretly for "hypocrisy". When he got home, Tai Fang was already lying on the bed in his bedroom watching TV, chatting with his son Just urge him to take a bath.

Tai Yi responded and walked to his room to get a bath towel, when he opened the door, he saw Miss Xiaohan lying on the floor of his room.

She exclaimed in a low voice, "Sister Xiaohan——!"
