Urban Oddities: Soul Contract

Chapter 7Guardians

The Haijing District has become Huo Minghai's nightmare, as long as he goes to that section of the road, he will definitely avoid it far away.

It's a pity that the weather is not beautiful, oh no, it should be that online shopaholic in Haijing District.

Huo Minghai almost cried when he saw the package sent to Haijing Community.

Dally, there is one last copy left.

指示灯闪烁，1——2——3——4——5……很好，并没有停在4楼！

Huo Minghai was inexplicably relieved. At this moment, he suddenly felt someone behind him. When he turned his head, only the clean mirror reflected his livid face.

cut!I really scare myself!

In the elevator with mirrors on all sides, Huo Minghai hung his head and dared not look around. When he arrived on the 16th floor, the shopaholic was an old lady, dressed fancy and wearing sunglasses. Seeing the courier brother peeping at him, he was old. The wife was elated.

"Brother, do you think I am dressed beautifully today? Oh, I have to go out to eat later!"

Huo Minghai said sincerely: "It's very... glamorous..."

"Oh hehe, how old do you think I am?" The old lady winked.

"You...you look like you're in your forties..."

The old lady was very happy: "Oh, you are exaggerating, everyone is over 70!"

Huo Minghai wiped off his sweat: "Well... I really can't tell... You've been living here?"

The old lady nodded: "I have lived here for many years! This building has just been built, so I will live here!"

After signing the delivery slip, the old lady was still reluctant to let the handsome guy leave, so she pestered him to chat. After Huo Minghai's package was delivered, she also chatted with her without a word. When talking about this building, Huo Minghai asked : "Do you know the residents on the 4th floor?"

The old lady seemed to have heard something unlucky, so she made two peeps and muttered something very auspicious.

"How can there be a 4th floor? Brother, you may not know it. A few years ago, this place was called Hongyu New Village. There was a death on the 4th floor. Since then, all houses have no 4th floor!"

Huo Minghai was dumbfounded: "What do you mean?"

"In the elevator, all the floors ending in 4 have been cancelled!"

Standing in the elevator, Huo Minghai hung his head and dared not look at the panel after pressing the first floor.

——The floors ending in 4 are all cancelled!

However, the elevator where Huo Minghai was located had neat numbers on the floor panel.

On top of 3 is 4... On top of 4 is 5...

And 14... 24...

"What I've seen has always been normal..." Huo Minghai was chilled by the air conditioner, and closed his eyes, not looking at his pale face in the mirror.

The elevator stopped, and there was the sound of the door opening.

Something is going to happen!

The strong premonition almost made Huo Minghai faint.

Outside the door, it really wasn't the first floor...

Huo Minghai stood in the elevator and refused to go out. No matter how hard he pressed the door close button, the elevator seemed to be broken, and it remained in the open state without moving.

As long as he stood, the elevator door opened.

Gritting his teeth, Huo Minghai walked out of the elevator.

The moment the elevator doors closed, the sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground sounded in the corridor.

Footsteps were walking towards a door, and there was a sound of opening the door, and then, there was the same sound of quarreling.

Huo Minghai knew in his heart that the woman would have a tragic end in a few minutes.

"Why are you pestering me... What on earth do you want me to do..."

A crazy idea swirled in his mind like a tornado, Huo Minghai mustered up the courage to rush over, yes, if he could do something, would he be able to stop that man from committing murder?

However, he pushed open the door, and the hustle and bustle inside suddenly quieted down, leaving only the dim hall, the curtains were still tightly drawn, newspapers and magazines were scattered all over the place, and there were a lot of blood stains everywhere.

Didn't catch up?

Huo Minghai backed away, wondering whether he should go back to the elevator, let time rewind, and do it again?

Suddenly a certain sound sounded, rustling, like...

Huo Minghai's heart hit his chest violently again.

It sounded like someone was dragging a wet plastic bag!

Seeing everything———————

The woman in the plastic bag slowly crawled out from under the bed and crawled towards the living room. The distance was getting closer and closer, and she was about to appear in sight!

Huo Minghai's hands began to tremble, his eyes were fixed on the corner of the hall and he couldn't move away, the wind in the corridor was blowing from behind, and his back was wet.

唦—— 唦——

"You...what do you want me to do..."

唦—— 唦——

"Are you... Yang Meijiao?"

The crawling sound stopped.

Huo Minghai really wanted to just faint like this, but he knew it was impossible, he couldn't faint now, at least, if he was going to faint, he had to faint clearly!

Around the corner, there was an unbelievable sound.

"Can you... take me... out?"

I rely on!take you out? !

Huo Minghai closed his eyes, really wanted to hit the wall and just faint.

"Or...can you take something out for me?"

No reply was heard, and the sound of crawling was heard again.

"Aren't you from the courier company?"

There was already some danger in the voice.

"I...I am...but..."

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and Huo Minghai heard the sound of paper falling to the ground——

A blank delivery note.

On the courier slip, Du Jiajun's business card was stuck with a paper clip.

"Take some blank slips with you, and give me some results." When going out, Du Jiajun stuffed a slip into his pocket.

Huo Minghai picked up the courier slip, and Du Jiajun's confident smile appeared in his mind. Huo Minghai's mind became hot, and he put the courier slip and his business card on the corner.

Of course, there was a corner blocking him, so he didn't dare to look at that "thing".

The courier slip and business card lay quietly on the ground, and Huo Minghai reminded tremblingly: "If you want to send something, just call the number on the business card...but...but...you must not scare him! Also...also Can't hurt him!"

A moment of silence.

Huo Minghai supported the wall and secretly bit the tip of his tongue. The pain stimulated his nerves so he didn't faint.

"Um……"

There was a soft voice from around the corner.

As if exhausting all his strength, Huo Minghai faltered, leaning on the wall and walking towards the door step by step.

The screeching sound of plastic bags sounded again, Huo Minghai's scalp exploded, and he quickly collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, crawling slowly with his last will, when he crawled out the door, he looked back and stretched out from the corner His hands are slowly picking up the courier list on the ground...

"Ah, you're awake."

A chubby face appeared in front of his eyes, Huo Minghai turned his gaze, and other security guards were also looking at him.

"Ah... I'm suffering from heat stroke again..." Huo Minghai laughed at himself, took a few sips of the water handed over by the security guard, and a long wooden box rolled down from his arms. Single, Huo Minghai yelled, as if seeing something terrible, he threw the wooden box away like an electric shock.

The wooden box hit the ground and rolled a few times.

"Little young man, pay attention to your body." Wei Jiantao gestured to the security guards, indicating that he should take care of it here.

The security guards scattered and left. Wei Jiantao kindly picked up the wooden box and helped Huo Minghai to walk towards the gate.

Huo Minghai couldn't figure it out, how could the package that was obviously placed in the warehouse run over by itself?But no matter how weird the VIP customer's things were, Huo Minghai didn't have the guts to throw them away. He closed his eyes and put the wooden box into the parcel basket. Guofeng Youjing asked him to wipe it himself.

Wei Jiantao is chubby, and he has a very honest smile. Huo Minghai looked at the mole on Wei Jiantao's chin, and suddenly asked, "That... can you take me to the third floor to have a look?"

Wei Jiantao froze for a moment, recovered quickly, and smiled slightly: "Okay, but...you should have heard about that case, right?"

Huo Minghai nodded: "There was a murder case here a few years ago."

"That's right, the 3rd and 4th floors are unoccupied now, they have been opened up and changed to double-storey warehouses."

When entering the elevator, there were a few old ladies who greeted Wei Jiantao, and after confirming the floor, they chirped and chatted about household chores.

On the panel, above 3 is 5, and on all floors, there is no number 4.

"arrive."

The door opened, revealing an open corridor.

There is no house, only a section of pillars, and the wide space is full of boxes. Wei Jiantao explained that this place is rented out to a supermarket, and people come to carry goods every day. Go up the stairs next to the wall, and the upper floor is also full of goods.

A large gossip mirror hangs on the wall, and portraits of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are pasted on each pillar, and strings of evil beads are also hung.

"No way, people died here." Wei Jiantao explained all the way, took Huo Minghai around, and the two returned to the elevator. Huo Minghai suddenly pointed to the fifth floor and asked, "Who lives in 5?"

"Xu Xiaojuan and Li Li are both fashionable and beautiful girls. Li Li is said to be Xiaojuan's cousin." Wei Jiantao rubbed his chin, this habit can't be changed no matter what, "It's a pity that Xu Xiaojuan has been away in the hospital, Li Li Well, I haven't seen her come out today."

Wei Jiantao took Huo Minghai to the gate very responsibly. Huo Minghai started the car with a smile on his lips. He felt that he already knew who Lili was, and he thought that when she published a book some other day, he would come over and ask her to sign it. .

The novels she wrote are really wonderful. Looking at the replies, several publishing houses are willing to sign contracts with her!

The car gradually slowed down, and finally, it stopped on the side of the road.

What if...she wasn't writing a novel?

405...Yang Meijiao...The tall and thin man Liang Qijun...

Huo Minghai's hand holding the handlebar was dripping with cold sweat.

I have a mole on my chin, I like to touch my chin, and I speak with a Beijing accent...

In fact, I have seen it before, and I have heard the tone of the man's speech before, a feeling of deja vu.

"Wei Jiantao..." Huo Minghai turned the car sharply and drove towards the community at high speed.

If it's really Wei Jiantao, then... Li Li who is alone at home is in danger!

Wei Jiantao stood in the elevator and pressed the button for the fifth floor.

The elevator took him up slowly. At this time, Li Li finished typing a new chapter and posted it on the Internet.

Yang Meijiao's case was completely over, and Li Li breathed a sigh of relief, scooped up water from a small cup and poured it on the small plants. The sun flashed, and she felt dizzy again. The small cup fell on the window sill, and the water spilled all over the floor.

She sat back in the chair and closed her eyes. She was too tired and soon fell asleep. She dreamed that a man was walking out of the elevator and striding towards her home. The man stood in front of the door, looked up to confirm the door number, and habitually Touch his chin, and on his chin...

There is a mole!

In a daze, she smelled a bad smell, like the bad smell of not taking a bath for many days.

The dirty old man said to her—

"You don't have long to live."

"I don't regret it." For no reason, Li Li said a word.

The old man was silent for a while, and then sighed: "You young people, I really don't understand."

Ding-dong-

Doorbell rang.

Li Li knew that Wei Jiantao was here.

As soon as Huo Minghai rushed into the elevator, he pressed his finger on the 4th floor above the 5th floor. The button lit up, and the elevator took him up slowly. From time to time, I could see the numbers on the 4th, 14th, and 24th floors. When I reached the 5th floor, Huo Minghai almost ran out of the elevator and rushed to 505. When he saw the door was open, Huo Minghai's heart sank. He's in!

The imaginary scene did not happen, Wei Jiantao stood in the hall in a daze, and turned his head slowly when he heard footsteps.

"You said...a place where no one lives...who opened the door for me?"

Residents of 505 have not been home for a long time, the table, sofa, and the ground are covered with dust, and there is only one line of footprints.

Wei Jiantao alone, the footprints left when he entered the door!

"This ending was really unexpected."

After reciting the new chapter, Du Jiajun sighed, but got no response. Turning his head, he saw Huo Minghai wandering through the sky with a straw in his mouth.

"Hey, are you listening?" The parched Du Jiajun was a little depressed. Is it easy for him to memorize the entire chapter verbatim?

Huo Minghai was stared at by him, as if waking up from a dream: "Ah, what did you say?"

Du Jiajun: "..."

"Huh? Ah! Why are you snatching my soy milk... I rely on you..."

Du Jiajun, who sucked up the soy milk, threw the empty cup into the trash can with a look of disgust on his face: "It's like dishwater."

Huo Minghai: "..."

In the story, the case is not what the readers guessed, even if it actually happened, after LILI’s writing, the plot turned around and played a trick with the readers.

The murderer who was shot was the man's younger brother.

That night, the younger brother who was drunk came to spend the night with his older brother. The younger brother who was known as a playboy had a history of harassing women. The man was very cautious and did not leave any loopholes. He misled the direction of the case with various ingenious details. In the end, the murderer was arrested. Shot, the case ended perfectly.

The man has been living in the community and became a security guard.

LILI did not write the murderer's real name.

Because, it's useless.

The case has long been settled, and there is no possibility of overturning the case.

However, there will always be such miracles in the world. Due to countless coincidences, a girl in 505 noticed her existence, and then, a handsome guy delivering a courier accidentally entered the sealed fourth floor...

"Hmph, what a ridiculous ending!"

The teacup was smashed on the table, and Wei Jiantao walked around the apartment restlessly.

I clicked on the phone and read it again. The words seemed to be pierced in the nerves, making my head ache.

The female ghost Yang Meijiao told the protagonist in her dream that she would find the real murderer herself, no matter how fat he became, even if he turned into ashes, she would still find him, and, in the novel, it was written that one day, the man was alone in the At home, the doorbell rang, and a courier handed him a package. The man opened the package after signing for it, and Yang Meijiao was inside...

As for how Yang Meijiao treats the real murderer, LILI did not describe in detail, so this chapter ends here, leaving a lot of room for imagination.

Wei Jiantao clicked on LILI's profile. S city, female, date of birth three years ago was ridiculously written, and there was a string of email addresses.

Is Lili really Li Li?Where did Li Li who lives in 505 go?

Wei Jiantao's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't figure it out. Is there really such a wicked thing in the world?He applied for a new mailbox and invited LILI to come out to talk about the signing in the name of a publishing editor. To show his solemnity, he specially set up a VIP logo for the mailbox. He used business stationery with VIP privileges, and the pink cute rabbit shading made him look like She is an approachable female editor.

After sending out the invitation letter, Wei Jiantao clicked on the webpage to view it again, when the doorbell rang.

Looking from the cat's eyes, the young courier boy's face was ashen, holding a package and looking deathly.

——Yang Meijiao is inside...

Wei Jiantao shook his head and opened the door. Yang Meijiao's body was cremated a few years ago. The novel is indeed a novel, a fiction, all made up by the author!

I don't know what was in the small package, and it was light and light. Seeing Huo Minghai trembling like holding a bomb, Wei Jiantao couldn't help laughing out loud. After taking the package, his eyes fell on the delivery slip. As if struck by lightning, he froze in place dumbfounded.

Sender: Yang Meijiao.

In the bulletin board, a new VIP customer appeared.

It was only then that Huo Minghai began to understand what was going on with these VIP customers...

Wei Jiantao's reaction was more intense than when Huo Minghai saw the bulletin board. He yelled, threw off the package and backed away again and again, knocked over a chair, tripped over the leg of the chair, and sat down on the ground.

how is this possible! ! !

The handwriting on the courier slip really belonged to Yang Meijiao! ! !

Huo Minghai picked up the package bravely, and handed it over with shaking hands.

"Please...please...sign...receive..."

The plot in the novel fluttered word by word. Wei Jiantao was stunned for a long time. When he came back to his senses, he squeezed a smile on his face: "Well, I'm going to the security office, you come with me, go there and sign the contract." okay?"

In the security office, several security guards were chatting. Seeing Supervisor Wei Jiantao approaching, they all stood up and saluted him.

Behind Wei Jiantao, followed by a courier boy who was almost unsteady. Under the eyes of everyone, Wei Jiantao was sitting in the executive chair. Kneel down.

"It's... just heat stroke..." Huo Minghai was on the verge of dying as he was being served to drink water and apply balm.

"Oh, the young man just lacks exercise! I think when I was a soldier, I spent hours in the sun every day!"

The young and strong security guards were discussing those days when they were soldiers. The security office was bustling with activity. Wei Jiantao signed his name and asked Huo Minghai to come and pick it up. After tearing off the receipt, Wei Jiantao opened the package in front of everyone. Ask easily: "Guess what good stuff is it?"

"Snacks?"

"A magazine?"

"It must be an island CD!"

Opened the box and everyone was disappointed.

In the package, there is only a plastic bag.

"Really, I don't know whose prank it is!"

Wei Jiantao smiled with relief.

LILI's story is not over yet.

The new chapter was released in the early morning of the next day, and Lili left a message saying that it will be finished in the next few days. The novel signed a contract with the publishing house, and I believe that the physical book will be available soon.

After reciting the new chapter, Du Jiajun exclaimed, "A book is about to be published."

Huo Minghai bit his straw and wandered into the sky.

Du Jiajun: "I don't know what happened to the murderer in the end?" Turning his head thoughtfully, Huo Minghai was poked by his gaze, sucked up the soy milk quickly, choked his throat from drinking too much, coughed wildly and threw the empty cup away into the trash.

Du Jiajun: "Have you had enough?"

Huo Minghai wiped his mouth contentedly: "I'm full."

A few minutes later, Du Jiajun, who came out of Starbucks, took out a large cappuccino with a bag in his hand, and said while drinking, "It tastes really good."

Huo Minghai: "..."

"Much better than soy milk."

Huo Minghai: "...Hmph!"

"Would you like it? There's still a cup." Du Jiajun raised his bag, his face full of words that he has the ability to snatch me, come snatch me...

Huo Minghai looked away sullenly, feeling a sudden weight in his hand, and looked down, the Starbucks bag was hanging on his finger.

He drank soy milk, drank coffee, and ate miscellaneous roadside snacks. I don't know which link went wrong. Huo Minghai, who was riding a bicycle, clamped his legs profusely, and stopped at the door of the duty room of the Haijing Community, before he even had time to pack. Send, the first thing the doorman said when he saw the doorman was: "Where is the toilet?!"

After taking off his pants and just sitting on the toilet, thousands of horses and horses rushed out impatiently. Huo Minghai blushed with excitement and let out a ecstatic sigh.

Along with the gurgling stomach, there was also the noise outside.

When Huo Minghai went out, the security guards ran towards the guard one by one, and the ambulance came whining.

"What's wrong?" Huo Minghai asked the guard curiously.

"People have died! People have died!" The guard slapped his thigh and yelled, "Wei Jiantao was strangled to the neck by a plastic bag!"

A person was carried out from the guard room. Wei Jiantao's neck was blue and he had been twisted into shape. Huo Minghai could tell at a glance that Wei Jiantao was hopeless.

"I just went out to smoke a cigarette, but it was only a few minutes, and when I came back, he was strangled by the bag!"

"It's so scary. The plastic bag seems to move on its own. It shrinks and tightens. We can't untie it no matter how hard we try to untie it. We finally cut it with scissors. Brother Tao's neck is already like this!"

There was another homicide case in Haijing District. Wei Jiantao was strangled by a plastic bag when he was checking the surveillance video alone at the security guard. However, various testimonies made the murder case confusing. The police investigated for a while, and the murder case without a murderer was finally ruled as a suicide. .

"Maybe Wei Jiantao is under too much pressure." The old residents discussed in private, "After all, his younger brother Wei Jianguo killed someone back then!"

"That's right, hey, it's hard for a brother to do such a thing. It's a lifetime shadow."

When the elevator arrived, the residents walked out of the elevator one after another. When the elevator reached the 16th floor, there was no one there.

After delivering the package, Huo Minghai walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor.

The elevator buzzed, taking Huo Minghai down.

On the panel, above the 3rd floor is the 5th floor, above the 13th floor is 15...

The buttons with the word 4 are all gone.

Huo Minghai knew that this elevator would never stop on the fourth floor again.

Coinciding with the incident in Haijing Community, LILI's book caused a sensation as soon as it was published.

Some people say this is a prophecy book, some say it is just an adaptation of a case added to a fantasy story, and the security incident in Haijing Community is just a coincidence, and some readers commented that it was a female ghost who took her life, and Yang Meijiao successfully escaped from the 4th floor by courier. He found the real culprit and avenged himself.

As soon as the book was released, it created a sales miracle in just half an hour, and the astronomical order volume brought huge income to LILI.

Huo Minghai was holding a package, happy and anxious in his heart, wishing to put on his wings and fly directly to the 5th floor. Li Li was still dressed in the same dress, with a plaid skirt and a curly golden hair. When Huo Minghai handed over the package, Handed over two books.

"I've been chasing your article for a long time, please sign it for me! This is my friend's, please sign it too!"

"Ha." Li Li laughed, "You actually know me?"

"I know." Huo Minghai smiled, "I knew it a long time ago!"

Li Li signed the courier slip, then took the book, signed "LILI" on the title page and sent it to Huo Minghai, and drew a big heart.

"By the way...before...were you not at home?" Huo Minghai had a knot in his heart, and he wanted to ask anyway. At that time, he also walked into 505, which was full of dust and had no popularity at all.

Li Li's explanation is very simple, writing needs to be quiet, she went out to stay in a hotel.

To Huo Minghai, this sentence sounded more like a quarrel escaping from 405.

Huo Minghai didn't ask many details. After all, Lili's book is a fantasy story from the beginning to the end, and it's just a murder case interspersed by coincidence.

"Your story is wonderful, with a great imagination."

"Oh, thank you."

When I signed the second book, a business card of Du Jiajun and a blank delivery note fell out of the title page.

"This is my friend's..."

Li Li also signed a LILI to send to Du Jiajun, drew a smiley face, returned the book, and studied the business card and delivery slip.

"Your friend received the mail?"

"Well, if you want to send something, just call him directly."

A few days later, when a new VIP customer appeared on the bulletin board, Huo Minghai's eyeballs almost popped out.

Sender: LILI.Sender: Huo Minghai.

LILI?Huo Minghai looked and looked, Lili's name should be Li Li, right? Could it be that the bulletin board is wrong?

After removing the bandage, Xu Xiaojuan slowly opened her eyes, the sudden light made her have the urge to cry.

On the third month and one day of her blindness, with the support and care of her cousin Li Li, Xu Xiaojuan, who had a successful operation, regained her sight.

"Really, that's great..." The nurses were more excited than Xu Xiaojuan. After confirming that Xu Xiaojuan could see things, they were so happy that they cried.

"It's good if you can see it. It's not a big problem. You can leave the hospital after a few days of recuperation." The attending doctor also breathed a sigh of relief.

The success rate of Xu Xiaojuan's eye disease is very low. Everyone feels that there are gods blessing her. The first thing Xu Xiaojuan can see is to call her cousin to announce the good news.

However, Xu Xiaojuan was very puzzled by what her cousin said.

"What? You were hospitalized? You had an operation?!" There was a scream from over there, and Xu Xiaojuan heard her cousin call her husband to book tickets quickly.

Xu Xiaojuan thought, cousin can really pretend, she even came to the hospital yesterday.

Xu Xiaojuan has been dependent on her cousin since she was a child. She stayed in S city to work, while her cousin's husband opened an orchard in the countryside, and her cousin went to her husband's place to help take care of it half a year ago.

The cousin told her not to worry, the orchard will soon have a big business, and if it is done, there will be money for her treatment. The cousin did what she said, and not only paid off the huge medical expenses, but also paid for everything in one go. treatment costs.

"Cousin, let's have dinner together in the evening, and accompany me to see the night view of the city."

"Xiaojuan, what are you talking about?" The voice over there was anxious, "I'm still in the orchard, just wait, I've got the bus ticket, I'll be there tomorrow!"

Xu Xiaojuan who put down the phone looked at a loss.

She looked out the window, the sun was setting, and then at the door. Usually at this time, her cousin would come to feed her with food.

Xu Xiaojuan waited patiently, she wanted to see what kind of international joke her cousin was playing.

The cousin didn't come, but a sunny and handsome courier boy came instead.

"Xu Xiaojuan?"

"I'm."

"Please sign for your package."

"Ha, really, just bring something if you have something." Xu Xiaojuan smiled and took the package, signed it, and opened it. It was a beautiful fantasy novel.

"Do you... know Li Li?" Huo Minghai asked.

"Well, she's my cousin."

After getting a clear answer, Huo Minghai touched his heart, as if he was relieved.

exactly!Li Li is fashionable and beautiful, she is her cousin, how could it be those weird things!

"It's a book she wrote. It's great."

Cousin's... book?

Xu Xiaojuan was at a loss again.

My cousin only had a primary school education, went to work before finishing primary school, and couldn't read pinyin completely, so she actually published a book?

A fantasy novel called "Wait for Me to Protect You" was placed beside the pillow, and Xu Xiaojuan waited for her cousin to bring her meals, but her cousin did not show up, and it was the nurse who fed her.

Xu Xiaojuan lay on the bed early, looking at the ceiling and recalling these days, trying to find some unreasonable clues.

Three months ago, her eyesight deteriorated sharply, and she could only see things blurry. At that time, Li Li came.

She clearly remembered that her cousin was wearing a plaid skirt and had curly yellow hair. She had always had this hairstyle. She liked the foreign style. She said it was very fashionable, and she turned heads very often when she walked on the street.

The cousin’s voice is soft, Xu Xiaojuan has heard it since she was a child, and she will never admit it. The hospitalization procedures are all arranged by her cousin, and she has been delivering meals during the hospitalization. Due to the shortage of funds, the operation has been delayed again and again. As soon as it was blacked out, Li Li held her hand and swore that she would definitely raise money. Xu Xiaojuan asked if the harvest in the orchard was not good. Be here with her.

Such a cousin is not a cousin, so what is it?

Li Li rushed to City S early the next morning, got off the train and went straight to the hospital.

"Xiaojuan!" Li Li almost threw herself on Xu Xiaojuan, tears streaming down her face, "Why didn't you tell your cousin when you were hospitalized! Ah? You really are..."

Xu Xiaojuan watched her cousin's mouth open and close, as if she was watching a silent mime. She suddenly realized that something incredible might have happened to her.

"Sister...you...have your hair cut?"

Li Li touched her wine-red short hair and nodded: "The long hair is always caught by the branches, so I cut it short."

"Where's your floral plaid skirt? It's pretty." Xu Xiaojuan was still thinking about it in the hazy sight at the time, and asked her cousin to borrow it to wear it another day.

However, Li Li showed a surprised expression, and what she said made Xu Xiaojuan's mind go blank.

"I've never bought a plaid skirt. If it's a denim skirt, I have a few..."

In order to take care of Xu Xiaojuan, Li Li stayed in City S and escorted her all the way back to the sea view community.

505, which has been unoccupied for several months, is full of dust. Li Li, who was cleaning it, found some strange footprints.

"It seems that two people came in, stood in the living room, and then went out again? Ah... Could it be a thief?! Xiaojuan, quickly see if there is anything missing!"

Bank cards, passbooks, and important documents are all there.

No theft, which is great!

"Ha, it's amazing, this little plant is still alive." Li Li picked up the green little plant, "Xiaojuan, there may really be a god here to bless you!"

On the desktop in the room, there is a laptop computer, and a dirty rag doll is lying on the computer case.

"It's really nostalgic." Li Li picked up the doll and patted the dust on it.

Three years ago, Li Li made it for Xu Xiaojuan to play with her own image.

The hair is yellow curly wool, and the clothes on her body are sewn with checkered curtain cloth. Xu Xiaojuan likes it so much that she even hugs her when she sleeps.

Cotton was leaking everywhere in the worn-out doll, especially the fingers, which were badly worn.

"It's a pity, it's all broken, let's just make a new one." Li Li threw the doll into the trash can, planning to make a more beautiful one for Xu Xiaojuan.

At night, Li Li slept with Xu Xiaojuan, and Xu Xiaojuan leaned against the head of the bed, reading a book.

"Oh, this book is selling very well!" Li Li read it on the Internet, "This author has made a lot of money, at least one hundred and eighty thousand, ouch, writing a book is really a lucrative job!"

"Wait for Me to Guard You" is a fantasy novel. The protagonist in the novel is not a human being. It is a story about taking care of a girl in the form of an adult. Some life details are recorded like a diary. Near the end, a story is interspersed. The murder case, the bizarre story has attracted a group of readers, and the crazes have dug up the reports from a few years ago for comparison. Some people discuss that the version in the story is the correct one, and some discuss who the real murderer is. There are a lot of comments Heap, unfortunately, I don’t know when, the author named LILI never appeared again. At the end of the story, the protagonist exhausted his soul and returned to the prototype. All the money was used to pay the girl’s medical expenses...

"I remember, the author's name is LILI, what a coincidence, isn't it? The doll I gave you is also called by this name!"

Not receiving a response, Li Li looked up and saw Xu Xiaojuan with tears on her face...

"Oh, I don't have any texts to follow, I'm so lonely."

After getting off work in the evening, Du Jiajun quickly re-read the article, let out a melancholy sigh, then turned around and asked, "How many books do you recommend to me?"

Huo Minghai was preoccupied, wandering the sky with a straw in his mouth, and wandering back to his mind. Before Du Jiajun made a move, Huo Minghai turned sideways sensitively and drank up the soy milk in one go.

"Don't worry, there's more." Like magic, Du Jiajun handed him a large glass.
