poor house

Chapter 8

A face, the whole body is a lifeless black.It seemed to be formed by the condensation of countless strands of hair, and he was looking at himself coldly.

And the hair on this person's head, one end grows on her own head, and the other end is her own hair that was pulled horizontally——

The black cheeks instantly magnified several times in front of my eyes are like a piece of burnt coke, the fine and dense overlapping lines make people shudder, the black eye sockets, the black mouth, the dark skin, and the whole body is full of blood. smell.After staring lifelessly at the black-haired eyeballs for a moment, he finally grinned coldly.

"This is it, Jiefa."

"Boy? Boy, are you all right?"

The buzzing sound in his ears made Wu Xie feel as if his head was being filled with lead, and he slowly opened his eyes. The dim light was not dazzling, but it still made Wu Xie dodge subconsciously.Opening his eyes again after a while, Wu Xie looked at the strange ceiling above his head, but didn't realize where he was for a while.

"Are you awake? When you wake up, drink this ginger syrup." Wu Xie was startled by the sudden appearance of the bowl near his mouth, and turned to look at the aunt holding the bowl. Wu Xie always felt that she looked familiar.

"Where am I?" Sitting up propped up, Wu Xie looked at the small room he was in. The small room of less than [-] square meters contained nothing but simple furnishings, not even lights. The light was so dim that it could not illuminate the whole room.The bed I was lying on was the only place in the room where I could sit. The quilt was not thick, and it was patched in bits and pieces.And on the small cabinet next to the bed, there is his own telephoto lens.

What's wrong with me?Why are you here?

"You collapsed in the alley next to my house. If I hadn't passed by after get off work, you would have been frozen there all night. You would be on the headlines the next day." Putting the hot bowl into Wu Xie's hands , The aunt's face was full of worry and blame.

"Alley?" The scalding heat in his hands made Wu Xie's somewhat stagnant thinking finally start to work slowly, and he vaguely remembered what he seemed to have dreamed just now.But why did he suddenly fall asleep at the entrance of the alley?Could it be that my ability to dream has returned to its previous level?

Who is this aunt?Why would you bring yourself to her house?Staring blankly at the middle-aged aunt in front of her, she wore plain calico clothes, her hair was casually tied into a knot, and her gray temples made her face look even older under the light.What do you think, looks a little familiar?

"Hurry up and go home after drinking, your phone has rang several times." The aunt standing aside had a narrow smile on her face, "Is your girlfriend worried about you?"

"Ah!" Only then did he realize that it was probably already midnight, and Zhang Qiling was probably going crazy.Wu Xie gulped down the slightly spicy ginger syrup in the bowl and jumped up from the bed. She didn't care to think about why this aunt looked so familiar, thanked her, picked up the camera, and hurried out.

"Go back and explain to your girlfriend carefully, don't quarrel!" Standing at the entrance of the alley and watching Wu Xie's back trotting all the way, the aunt had a faint smile on her face.

"Okay! Thank you, aunt!!" Turning her head and waving to the aunt in the night, Wu Xie looked at the figure standing by the door from a distance, and suddenly remembered who this aunt was.Isn't this the cleaning aunt who poured herself a glass of water when she was out on location that day?

Slowly closing the dilapidated small wooden door, she gently touched the furrowed wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and the smile on her lips gradually disappeared.The sweet and spicy smell of ginger syrup still lingered in the small room. She walked slowly to the bed and sat down, slowly took out a thin object from her pocket, and held it up against the dim light on her back. hands.

In the obscure light, a chestnut curly hair disappeared again as if it had never appeared before.

Holding the camera and running all the way in the alley, the sparse street lights made Wu Xie unable to see the road under his feet clearly.The biting cold wind poured into the lungs, like a knife, which hurt people.

When did he fall asleep?Why is there no impression at all?Thinking is running faster than the steps under the feet, Wu Xie always feels that this path that he usually chooses feels a little different today.It was as if, as if I had been here 5 minutes ago.

The street lamps and trees on both sides of the alley kept moving back, Wu Xie, who was out of breath, stopped abruptly, and after being frozen in place for a few seconds, he turned his head to look at the telephone pole he had just passed.

Wu Xie couldn't say why he wanted to look at this telegraph pole, but his subconscious mind made him take a few steps back involuntarily.

The wires covered with small advertisements are no different from the ones on the street, hidden in the shadows that the street lights cannot reach, only half of them are exposed.

The sweat from running on his body suddenly cooled down, sticking cold and sticky to Wu Xie's back, as if they were supposed to be cold sweat.And the goosebumps on his arms popped out without warning, as if he knew that there was something hidden in the shadow behind the telephone pole.

Why does this place feel so familiar.Make yourself eeriely familiar.

The howling wind slowly blew away the clouds, and the silver moonlight shone into the alley unhurriedly, as if to let Wu Xie see more clearly, it shone impartially on a certain picture on the telegraph pole. The little ad was torn in half.

telephone pole--

The hand holding the camera gradually trembled, and the fragmented images in my mind gradually pieced together.Staring at the darkness, Wu Xie took another two steps back due to the strong sense of spying coming from there.The air in the winter night was full of bitterness and bleakness, and traces of the smell of fishy smell, which became more and more intense, were permeating with the night wind.The dry leaves made a rustling sound in the wind, as if some heavy object was being dragged on the ground.

The rustling sound continued, and it became clearer and clearer that something was approaching step by step from the darkness behind the telegraph pole.All the cells in the whole body have issued the final defense warning, screaming to remind Wu Xie to leave immediately.

The dim street lights seemed to match the eerie atmosphere at this time, and the light bulbs that were originally not bright suddenly reduced their brightness, and even the area where Wu Xie was located began to be dark.Biting her lower lip tightly, holding her breath and listening to the increasingly clear voice in the silence, Wu Xie turned around suddenly in a sinking breath, but was facing a pale face.

The too dark light made the bloodless face even more gloomy, the stiff expression was filled with pain and fear, and strands of blood were slowly flowing down the bloody head, and the bright red blood was dripping on the pale face. The upper part is winding up and down, like a series of terrifying cracks.

"why why--"

The sobbing female ghost stared blankly at Wu Xie who was already pale in front of her, and slowly reached out her hand to touch him.

"Where's my hair—give me yours, please—"

The stench of rotting corpses came to her nostrils as she raised her hand. Wu Xie, who was finally overwhelmed by the choking, staggered back two steps, only to see that the female ghost's face had become ferocious in an instant, and her fingers were spread wide. He rushed towards himself fiercely.Subconsciously covering her eyes, Wu Xie just heard those dark eyes flashing in her mind when she heard a familiar voice coming from her ear.

"Tsk."

Sighing, Zhang Qiling looked at Wu Xie still covering his eyes, and for the first time in his life, he felt an emotion called "can't wait", wishing to knock Wu Xie's head open to see how he put his instructions where it goes.If it wasn't for the enchantment that he had placed on him, how could he have arrived in time this time.At first, I was still worried about whether I was overprotecting, but in Wu Xie's current situation, no matter how much I protected myself, I couldn't overprotect myself.

"Brother!" Putting down his arms and looking at Zhang Qiling standing in front of him with a black gold ancient knife in his hand, Wu Xie finally heaved a long sigh of relief.The restored street lamps slantedly reflected Zhang Qiling's expressionless face, but Wu Xie could tell that behind the calmness was actually written all over the turbulent worries.

"Come home with me." Sighing lightly, Zhang Qiling looked at the momentary reassuring expression on Wu Xie's face, and his restless heart suddenly softened.He reached out to pull Wu Xie, but suddenly felt a burst of malice near his chest.Looking down at the telephoto lens hanging on Wu Xie's chest, Zhang Qiling slowly frowned.

"Where was that female ghost just now? Did you break her up?" Holding Zhang Qiling's hand tightly, Wu Xie stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.Now it feels like the kid who got into trouble and was brought home by a parent who cleaned up the mess.Although it is an inappropriate metaphor, the happiness that comes from the palm is so tangible.

"Wu Xie, where have you been?" Without answering Wu Xie's question, Zhang Qiling dragged Wu Xie to walk slowly.

"Take the camera. I don't know why I fell asleep at the entrance of the alley. Fortunately, I was seen by the cleaning lady in the store, otherwise you will see me on the news headlines tomorrow morning." Did not say his dream , Wu Xie lightly squeezed Zhang Qiling's palm.

"Auntie?" What kind of auntie can move a sleeping big man into her own home?Turning to look at Wu Xie who looked a little unnatural, Zhang Qiling asked lightly, "What did you dream about?"

"Eh—it's that female ghost just now. I dreamed about her death." Honestly telling the truth, Wu Xie shrugged, "By the way, you haven't returned yet."
