In the end, the police were not alerted.Not long after Sister An returned to the bar to find helpers, the foreman brought a group of burly men who appeared out of nowhere to deal with the scene.

Du Hui and Sister An were pushed aside, watching helplessly as the gold was packed into a huge black body bag.Jin Zi's eyes were already big, but at this moment they had already stared to the limit, any more eyeballs would roll out of them.

Sister An was trembling with fright, and desperately leaned on Du Hui, like two quails in the cold winter, both their bodies and shadows were stacked together.

They said that Jin Zi must have been unlucky. She met a passing hooligan in the alley, dragged her to the low wall and strangled her to death.After the gold was carried away, the foreman called them aside and gave each of them an envelope.Judging from his expression, it should contain money.

The foreman stared at them deeply, and said almost bluntly: "If this matter leaks to Tiao Zi's ears, the boss will probably be very upset. You are all old employees here, and colleagues have been here for so long. The family situation is also very clear."

Sister An heard the sound of the piano and knew the elegant meaning, and quickly stuffed the envelope in her bag, "Don't worry, we understand the truth."

She glanced to the side, and Du Hui also nodded.Her appearance is always deceiving, weak and weak, and she looks completely scared to death.

The foreman didn't bother them too much, and let them go with a few simple words of advice.

Out of the alley, Sister An patted her chest in shock, "Today we are really in bad luck, we should go to say goodbye in the daytime tomorrow!"

She sighed, "Jin Zi is too bitter. Huihui?"

"Ok?"

"What are you thinking about in a daze? Are you frightened too?"

"Ah."

This kind of conversation is almost meaningless, so she doesn't continue, and pays attention to whether there are taxis carrying passengers on the main road.During the period, she could feel that Sister An was quietly scanning and observing from the corner of her eye, as if she had something else to say.

This is not a section of road lined with bars, and there are few cars passing by.The two remained relatively silent, standing near the waiting sign and waiting for nearly half an hour.Finally, two came.

Du Hui bid farewell to Sister An and got into the back seat of the taxi.

"Where are you going?" the driver turned his head and asked, the familiar face almost made her run away.

She froze on the seat, clasped the straps of her backpack tightly, and her throat began to become sore again.

The driver probably saw a lot of guests who wandered out at night and were delirious due to various reasons.He raised his voice and asked twice more.

The second time, her fingers were wrapped around the bag tape, twisted into twists, and she opened her lips to say an address.

All the way without words.At the current address, the car is easy to scratch, so Du Hui asked the driver to put her on the side of the road.She has lived in this place since she was a child, and it was the first time she felt a little strange.

The half-dimmed street lamps intermittently cast small circles of light.Because it was already late at night, there was no light in the low buildings on both sides, as if square boxes stood in the darkness, just like the person lying today and tomorrow.

"Hee hee hee."

That weird voice came again.Very close, like a snake winding and twisting around her neck.She suddenly remembered that when she was young, that person once said that there was a kind of wolf on the grassland.

When hunting, it will stand upright, and the wolf will rest its front paws on the shoulders of the prey and follow it all the way.Until the prey can't help turning back, it will take the opportunity to bite off the prey's neck.

These two things are obviously irrelevant, but she just can't help herself to think about that.So she didn't dare to look back, didn't dare to look left and right, and started to run wildly.

Her ears were full of wind, which made her feel a little relieved.But soon she fell down, and the entire palm of her hand wiped the rough ground, leaving bloody holes that were not too deep.

She gasped, stood up and looked around for the backpack that flew out.Use the mobile phone flashlight to illuminate, and put the leaked lipstick and documents back.She lingered around for a while longer, until she found the brooch she had brought from the hospital under a street lamp.The strange thing is that this seemingly cheap plastic product doesn't look worn at all.

When the light of the flashlight shone on the plastic jewel in the center of the brooch, there were vaguely tadpole-like things swimming in it.

Du Hui thought it was an illusion caused by the refraction of light, so she rubbed her eyes vigorously.

"Hee hee hee, another one. Come on, tell me, what do you wish for?"

desire?what wish?What can she wish for?

The voice was thin and soft, revealing a trace of eerieness.It was both comforting and bewitching, making her stare at the brooch unknowingly as if being bewitched.

At this time, she finally remembered.This brooch was given to her by Fade Chen last year, but she left it in that person's sewing basket and left it alone.Didn't expect to carry it with me all the time?Apparently I really like it.

"Hello—" the voice called unwillingly.

The next second, a black figure walked towards her, and the strange sound disappeared as it approached.

She turned her palm over, subconsciously hid the brooch in her palm, and stared at the shadow.

The black shadow did not stop, but slowly passed her by.Du Hui raised her head and met the other party's eyes.The man was wearing a black mask, and his face could not be seen clearly.But those eyes always feel as if I have seen them somewhere...

correct!I met at the hospital yesterday afternoon, Fade Chen's friend.She didn't remember until she was brushing her teeth when she got home.But this is not important anymore.

After brushing her teeth, she opened the closet and started cleaning things.After cleaning up and lying on the bed, she sat up again and walked into the kitchen.

The refrigerator in the kitchen is very old and small, and it has been used for almost her age.

When I opened the refrigerator door, a foul smell immediately wafted out of it.There were rotting leafy greens, a plate of moldy shredded pork with green peppers, and a bowl of rotten cherries.

She stood there staring at these things for a while.Then he slowly rolled up his sleeves and threw everything into the trash bag.After packing, she took her slippers and threw the garbage into the trash can downstairs.

Nearby she noticed the young man again.It turned out that he didn't go far, but was sitting at a nearby barbecue stall eating skewers.Although he kept his head down, as if he hadn't seen her at all, Du Hui always felt that it was related to him.

When she went back, she vaguely heard the young man sigh and say something.Probably talking to himself, apart from him, there were no other guests at the booth.

In bed at night, she pressed the brooch under her pillow and held her finger against her.Half asleep, half awake, she smelled the scent of osmanthus oil lingering around her, but that strange voice never appeared again.

The next day, Du Hui slept until ten o'clock in the morning.There were already several missed calls on the phone, which was obviously placed next to the pillow, but the strange thing was that she didn't hear any of them.

Checking the communication records, one of these calls was made by the head teacher, while the rest were from the funeral home.

She went back one by one.There is nothing special about the head teacher, but just reminding her to pay attention to her body and remember to go to school next week.The funeral parlor asked if they would like to adjust the cremation time, probably because she didn't pay attention, probably because a family behind in line was very superstitious and paid attention to auspicious dates and times.

"I'm really sorry. If you have a problem..." the staff member said in a conferring tone.

"It's okay. I'm the only one anyway." She interrupted the other party and asked the adjusted time directly.

The other party didn't expect her to be so talkative, so he was taken aback, and quickly informed the new time.

"Two o'clock in the afternoon." She briefly confirmed and hung up the phone.

Sitting on the bed in a daze for a while, Du Hui sent a text message to Fade Chen.He must be in class today, so she wrote in the text message: "The cremation time has been temporarily changed, so I don't need to trouble you this time."

The other party didn't reply immediately, probably in class.

She stayed in a daze for a while, got dressed, took the old clothes packed in the closet, and went there alone.The taxi driver frowned when he heard the destination, and said coldly, "You should find someone else." He stepped on the accelerator and left.

She stared at the passing vehicle and thought: It's okay, it's still early, you can find the next one.

But near noon, taxis were not as easy to meet as expected.She placed an order using taxi-hailing software again, but probably because of the destination, no driver was willing to take the order even though the distance was long and the price was high.

"Do you need help?" Someone suddenly asked behind him.

Du Hui turned around and saw that it was the young man she had seen three times before.

In the car of a stranger who didn't even see his face...

She looked down at the snakeskin bag that was pulled out with difficulty, thought for a few seconds, and nodded.

Within 5 minutes, the young man drove over in a black car.This brand usually only appears in exaggerated soap idol dramas, and it really doesn't suit him.

The young man reached out to help her stuff the pocket into the trunk.Du Hui licked her chapped lips, stared at him and asked, "I'm going to the funeral home in the north of the city."

"I know."

"Fade Chen told you?"

"No. But I promise I'm not a bad person." The young man seemed to wrinkle his nose slightly, showing a embarrassed and embarrassed look.

"how much is it?"

The young man laughed and shook his head, "You asked the same question as Fade Chen."

He opened the car door for her and motioned her to get in, "No money. But I do need something from you."

thing?Du Hui narrowed her eyes in confusion.Now she can be described as a poor family, what does this young man who drives a luxury car need?

"Don't worry, I'll tell you later."

For a moment, Du Hui felt that she didn't understand the situation even more.
