poor house

The voice was full of anxiety and uneasiness.What's going on here, isn't it the dog that has the problem?Walking forward full of doubts, when passing by the woman, Wu Xie suddenly felt that the hairs all over his body stood up in an instant.

The light at the garage door was too dim, so dark that Wu Xie could only see the faces of the two of them clearly.He clenched his fists and walked a few steps forward before turning back again. Mr. Nian, who was standing at the door of the garage, had walked into the darkness with the dog, and the woman following her was not in a hurry walking slowly.As if feeling Wu Xie's gaze, he slowly turned his head and smiled at Wu Xie.Immediately afterwards, it merged with the large darkness.

She shrank her neck to dispel the chill on her body, but before Wu Xie walked out of the gate of the community, she heard the same dog barking as last night, eager, anxious, as if calling for help.

Walking thoughtfully all the way back to the humble house, Wu Xie stretched out his hand to push the vermilion wooden door that was almost black in the night, but his outstretched hand froze instantly in the distance.

Isn't that Mr. Nian the panicked man in my dream last night?Then what is that monster with its mouth wide open opposite him?Could it be the puppy next to him?The man's surname was Nian, and the dog's name was Xi——remembering the story about a boy surnamed Nian getting rid of the monster Xi in the legend on New Year's Eve, Wu Xie suddenly felt his whole head buzzing.Damn, it can't be such a coincidence, can it? !

And as if to answer Wu Xie's guess, a howl that was already similar to the roar of a wild animal pierced through the thick fog and resounded through the entire street.

TBC

If you don't see TBC, don't sand, don't sand.

three

When he came back to his senses suddenly, Wu Xie realized that he was standing at the gate of that community again.

There seemed to be snowflakes mixed in the permeating mist, but the gray patches were more like burnt ashes, carrying Wu Xie's indescribable sense of despair and depression.The fog was so thick that Wu Xie felt that the whole world seemed to be black and white.Involuntarily took two steps forward, Wu Xie didn't know where he wanted to go, but his feet seemed to have set the destination, and he walked forward on his own.

Where are you going?

Thinking with some difficulty, Wu Xie looked at the blurred scenery in the thick fog and snow, and suddenly remembered that he was going to get the puppy.The neighbor's dog gave birth to several puppies, and when he ran into Wu Xie, he agreed to give him one.So Wu Xie came over to get it.

It should be like this.

Rubbing his aching temples, Wu Xie found that he had reached a corridor entrance.The gray sky made Wu Xie wonder whether it was daytime or evening, so he coughed lightly, but the sensor light didn't turn on.The dark corridor entrance is like the mouth of a wild beast, waiting for Wu Xie to become his own meal.

Taking some mechanical steps, Wu Xie always felt that there seemed to be some missing parts in his brain, as if his IQ had suddenly dropped a lot out of thin air. It obviously felt strange, but he didn't even have the ability to think about what was strange. .

The corridor was very dark, very dark, but Wu Xie unexpectedly found that he could see each step clearly.Followed the pre-set feeling and walked to the top floor, Wu Xie looked at the closed door, and was about to reach out to knock, but the door was suddenly pushed open from the inside.

I was mentally prepared to be stabbed by the strong light, but Wu Xie suddenly realized after closing his eyes for three seconds. The light felt so subtle, as if it had lost its original brightness and color.Slowly opening his eyes, he saw the man at the door squatting on the spot, gently stroking the puppy around his feet.

"Excuse me—" He opened his mouth, but Wu Xie didn't hear his own voice.He touched his Adam's apple in surprise, it was still vibrating, but he couldn't hear any sound.

Not only that, Wu Xie couldn't even hear the man's voice.You can only see his mouth shape as if saying goodbye to the puppy, but you can't hear a word.

Suddenly panicked, Wu Xie reached out to pat the man's shoulder, but because he stood up suddenly, the pat was in vain, and he stumbled into the room after losing his balance.When he turned around, the heavy anti-theft door had been tightly closed.

He pounded hard on the cold iron door, but still couldn't hear any sound.Looking back anxiously at this supposedly unfamiliar room, Wu Xie suddenly discovered that this was his bedroom.It's just that the original light blue bed sheets and quilt covers, the log-colored wardrobe and chairs, and the wooden floor all turned into astonishing black.

How is this going?Become colorblind yourself?Why would it suddenly become my own bedroom?

With a blank mind, Wu Xie looked at the puppy who was already squatting on the corner of the bed. Although he didn't understand what happened, he followed him and sat down against the corner of the wall.

It feels strange to crouch in a corner and look at the whole house, as if everything has become so big and empty.There is nothing in the room, no one, no sound and no color.Only Wu Xie and the puppy beside him huddled quietly in the corner.

After an unknown amount of time, a name popped up in Wu Xie's blank mind.

Zhang Qi Ling.

Standing up abruptly, the puppy beside him seemed to have remembered something, and followed Wu Xie's footsteps to the closet.Opening the wooden door of the closet, Wu Xie was choked by the strong camphor smell and almost sneezed.There were all Zhang Qiling's coats hanging in the closet, and he picked one up and sniffed it. Wu Xie was surprised to find that the smell of camphor was gone, leaving only the faint lemon scent that he was very familiar with.

Involuntarily holding the jacket and sniffing it vigorously, Wu Xie felt that the blank space in his brain was not blank, but was covered with a thick layer of fog. It felt like he was thinking of something but couldn't grasp it. .But the clothes in his hand smelled unexpectedly relieved, so Wu Xie took the clothes and sat on the black bed.

Sitting down at the same time as Wu Xie was the little dog, wrapped in a coat and sprinting onto the bed, hiding in the clothes and rolling happily.Sniffing the smell on the clothes from time to time, the round eyes are full of peace of mind.

He wanted to reach out to touch the puppy's head, but Wu Xie was in vain.Staring blankly at his hands falling directly on the bed sheet, Wu Xie stood up a little scared, only to find that the puppy also stood up.It's just that the baggy coat was still wrapped around him, making him stumble and unsteady.

Looking back at the coat on his body, Wu Xie took it off tentatively.At the same time, the puppy finally broke free from the coat.He stood on the bed and looked around blankly.

The feeling in her heart became more and more strange, Wu Xie casually threw the coat on the bed, looked around the room where only black and white remained, and still didn't understand why her bedroom became like this.Slowly walking to the wall and sitting down, Wu Xie looked at the clock on the wall a little bored, when will Zhang Qiling come back from get off work.

And the puppy next to him seemed a little bored, he yawned a lot, drooped his head and began to sleep.

Wu Xie didn't know why the thought of "Zhang Qiling is off work" popped up in his head, it seemed that in his own consciousness, Zhang Qiling should have no job, right?But why do you think so suddenly?Rubbing his eyes sleepily, Wu Xie huddled in the corner, always feeling that the cement behind him was cold.

But I can't go to bed to sleep, Zhang Qiling won't let me go to sleep.

He yawned in a daze, Wu Xie tilted his head and closed his eyes.

When I woke up again, I was hungry.Wu Xie stood up and stretched his muscles and bones, and the puppy beside him also stretched on the ground.The light in the room seemed to be a little darker than before, and Wu Xie walked back and forth in the room like a headless chicken, always feeling bored and going crazy.

Why didn't Zhang Qiling get off work, why didn't Zhang Qiling go home.

The little dog circling around Wu Xie's footsteps seemed to be entertaining itself, and stopped suddenly from time to time as if it was listening to something.But Wu Xie heard it too, it was just the door opening of other neighbors in the corridor.

Just walking around the house so many times, Wu Xie, who was finally exhausted, walked to the closed door again, anxiously waiting for the moment when the door was pushed open.Although Wu Xie couldn't say it himself, what exactly is he doing now.

The sound of the key suddenly broke the silence of the whole day, Wu Xie stood up abruptly and looked at the slowly turning doorknob, while the puppy at his feet began to wag its tail happily.It may take less than a minute to open the door, but because of the whole day of waiting, it seems like a century.

Outside the slowly opened door, Wu Xie saw Zhang Qiling in a suit and leather shoes standing expressionlessly with a briefcase between his hands.She jumped up excitedly and wanted to hug him, but he rubbed his head and pushed him away.Although he was aggrieved, Wu Xie and the puppy still followed Zhang Qiling's steps around the house, watched him put down his bag and coat, heated up the dinner bought from a convenience store, and distributed it to a small bowl After that, he ate on his own.

Why not happy?Why don't you laugh?

Wu Xie, who was sitting opposite, looked at the face that turned a blind eye to him, feeling inexplicably aggrieved.I have been waiting for you all day, why don't you want to look at yourself?

She reached out to hold his hand, but Wu Xie missed it because he lowered her head to touch the puppy's head.Seeing his hand frozen in the air, Wu Xie suddenly froze.

What are you doing? !

Waiting for Zhang Qiling to get off work?Zhang Qiling didn't even get off work?And why is everything in front of me black and white?absolutely nothing
