lost lights

After sleeping until he woke up naturally, Yan Qi stretched his body comfortably on the bed, turned around and rubbed against the thin blanket, took his phone and checked, it was already past ten o'clock.Putting down his phone, he squinted his eyes and got up, went to the toilet to drain the water, then brushed his teeth and washed his face.

Coming out of the toilet refreshingly, his eyes swept over the bed cabinet subconsciously, the exquisite glazed lamp was quietly placed on the nanmu stand, Yan Qi frowned slightly, and turned around to leave the door, he didn't think that the bone-chilling cold happened last night The thing is a dream.

Passing by the guest room calmly, he went downstairs, took out the fresh milk and ingredients from the refrigerator, warmed a cup of fresh milk and finished drinking, then Yanqi started to go down.

In the design industry, he has a disordered work and rest schedule when he starts working. He doesn't have three meals a day. The last task has just been completed, and he has eaten bread and biscuits for more than a month. He doesn't want to wrong himself anymore.

Sprinkle a little chicken essence in the boiling soup, smell the aroma of the noodle soup, and turn off the fire to serve the noodle, his stomach has already started to protest.

Turning around with the bowl in hand, Yan Qi paused for a moment, left the kitchen without changing his face, put the bowl on the dining table, and then looked at the person across the table, "Do you want to eat?"

I don't know when Bai Yin came down. He was sitting on a chair, his long hair was tied up, leaving only two strands hanging from the sides of his forehead, and he was wearing a white shirt with all the buttons fastened. , wearing ironed black trousers underneath, her legs looked straighter and slender.

"Thank you, no need." Bai Yin shook his head lightly, his voice still cold.

Listening to the polite answer, Yan Qi felt a little fond of Bai Yin in his heart, smiled slightly, and immediately sat down to eat.

Bai Yin turned his gaze from Yanqi to the French window, wondering what he was thinking.

After drinking the last sip of soup and wiping the corners of his mouth, Yan Qi glanced at Bai Yin as if in a trance, got up quietly and went back to the kitchen to clean up the dishes, wiped his hands, and then returned to his seat and sat down , and softly called "Mr. Bai."

Bai Yin was taken aback for a moment, and turned his gaze back to Yanqi, "Just call me Bai Yin."

"Bai Yin." Yan Qi was not polite, and changed his words directly, "Can I ask a few questions?"

Looking at Yanqi inexplicably, Bai Yin nodded slowly, "Ask."

Unexpectedly, Bai Yin agreed so smoothly, Yan Qi thought for a while and asked, "Uh, the first question, do you need anything to eat?"

"...No, I won't be hungry." Bai Yin was stunned before replying, obviously he didn't expect Yanqi to ask this first question.

Yan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, he was either hungry or a human-eating creature, "Then you are?"

"Bai Yin." Bai Yin said lightly, as if he didn't hear another meaning in Yan Qi's words.

Apparently Bai Yin didn't want to reveal his real identity, so Yan Qi changed the subject tactfully, "Then what's the relationship between you and that glazed lamp?"

"Are you talking about the branch lamp?" Bai Yin asked back, without waiting for Yan Qi to answer, "That is my work tool, and it is also the place where I used to rest."

"Crossroad lights? Work tools?" Yan Qi muttered a few words in a low voice, completely unaware of what it was. "What did you say last night to remove the soul and break my maze? Is that a magic spell?"

"It's not magic. People have three souls and seven souls. Anyone who sees my face will have their three souls and seven souls drawn out. This is their confusion. To break the confusion is to add some me to your soul." breath, so that the soul is not easy to leave the body." Bai Ci explained with the same tone.

Yan Qi's heart skipped a beat, "What will happen if the soul leaves the body?"

"More than an hour, and you will die."

Shocked, Yan Qi looked at Bai Yin with flickering eyes, so to speak, this Bai Yin is a moving murder weapon!is a big trouble!

Bai Yin seemed to have guessed Yanqi's heart, and added, "Don't worry, only you can see me from now on."

Seeing that Bai Yin's words didn't look like lies, Yan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "Is there anything you need to do when you stay here? Why can I be the only one who can see you?"

"No." This time Bai Yin paused before replying, "Because you are the owner of the crossroad lamp."

"Isn't the branch lamp your thing?" Yan Qi asked puzzled.

"No, it's yours now." Bai Yin didn't explain why the branch light now belongs to Yanqi.

"Then you stay here because you want to get this lamp back after I die? What's the use of this branch lamp? Is it very popular? Will there be many strange things to grab?" Yan Qi didn't know what he thought of, and a series of questions Spit it out.

"Indeed, I can only get back the branch lamp after you die, but only I can use this lamp, and no one will come to snatch it." Bai Yin replied affirmatively.

"Can't I give you the branch lamp?" Yan Qi never liked trouble.

"No." Bai Yin directly shattered Yanqi's fantasy, "Only after you die, the Crossroad Lamp will return to me. It cannot be given away or traded."

"Okay." Yan Qi sighed, "Then when will I die?"

"When the time comes, you will die naturally." Bai Yin looked at Yanqi seriously, "I won't touch your fate, otherwise I could get back the branch lamp last night."

Yan Qi thought about it, and smiled with relief, "Okay, one last question, how old are you?"

"Three thousand 720 four." After Bai Yin finished speaking, he got up and went upstairs, "Don't go into the guest room if you have nothing to do."

This person of affection regards this place as his own home, Yan Qi twitched the corners of his mouth, and by the way sighed with emotion at this heaven-defying age.

Looking at the sun outside, Yan Qi walked to the backyard on the first floor.

This villa has a back garden of about [-] square meters, the walls are covered with ivy, and two three-story acacia trees are planted around the yard, and there is an ancient small pavilion in the middle. There is a stone table and a few stone benches. The artificial stream winds around the small pavilion, passes through the acacia trees, and finally returns to the starting point. A few small koi play against the pink velvet flowers floating in the stream. with.At this time, it is the flowering period of the silk tree, and the dense branches and leaves are dotted with pompom-like flowers everywhere.

Yan Qi didn't go out, it was too hot outside, even with the shade of trees.

He turned a corner and walked into the study room on the side. In the study room were several shelves full of books, a desk and a rattan table, as well as several egg-shaped sofas and a rattan chair.

The rattan table and rattan chair were placed beside the protruding floor-to-ceiling windows, and the entire backyard could be seen by opening the curtains. Lie down on the chair skillfully, Yan Qi picked up the last unfinished book on the rattan table. After reading the book, the dense branches and leaves of the acacia tree outside blocked most of the dazzling sunlight.

Although there is one more person in the house, it has been very quiet, and it seems to be no different from before.

Until the evening, Yanqi cooked three dishes and stewed a cup of soup for dinner. After Yanqi had prepared the meals, Bai Yin came down and sat down in the morning seat. He did not eat, talk or watch Yanqi, and waited. Yan Qi went upstairs quietly after eating, and Yan Qi didn't care, just eating and doing things on his own.

The two passed a week peacefully like this.

ding dong -- ding dong --

The continuous sound of the doorbell pulled Yanqi out of the world of books. He looked at the time and found that it was almost 03:30. Who would come to him at this time? Putting down the book, he walked out of the study room with a trace of doubt, and met the Lou Bai Yin with a cold face.

Bai Yin frowned and said, "It's been ringing for a long time."

The implication is to hurry to open the door.

Yan Qi walked a few steps quickly, and looked through the cat's eyes. There were two people in police uniforms. He frowned and opened the door, "What's the matter?"

"Is it Mr. Yan Qiyan?" One of the policemen showed his police card, "We are the police, and I hope you can help investigate something."

The author has something to say:

What are the police doing?
