In the end, Pei Ling still couldn't meet Sai Tianxian's request, and carried him to the rooftop.

Because their building was converted from a staff dormitory into a rental house, the floors were not high, surrounded by the surrounding old communities, and the lighting was not very good.Therefore, people who live here all come to the rooftop to dry their clothes and quilts, resulting in many clotheslines stretched horizontally on the rooftop without permission.

With Sai Tianxian on his back, Pei Ling had to bow his head very carefully, for fear of touching his head.I don't know which family's carelessness, there are still a few sheets on the roof that were confiscated.Besides bowing her head, Pei Ling had to dodge to avoid those sheets from time to time.After finally coming to the edge, I didn't see any pleasant scenery.

This is an old town. Due to the requirement to protect old buildings, there are not many relocations. Unlike the area along the river, it is full of high-rise buildings and full of neon lights. There is still a view at night, and it is not like the city center. The commercial pedestrian street converted from old buildings attracts tourists.Here, the lights are on in every household, and the tall and short houses cover most of them, and most of them live in the elderly, and many of them have the habit of turning off the lights early, so standing on the roof and looking at it, I just feel that this community At night, like the old buildings here, it is not very bright. When you close your eyes, you can even feel the sigh coming from the narrow alley, like a gouty old man humming, but in fact it is just the night wind passing by.It's quite similar to Sai Tianxian's current mental state.

Pei Ling conveniently placed the bottle of medicinal wine he had just bought on the wall of the rooftop. He was worried that Sai Tianxian, who could not bear even a little bit of cold, would be chilled by the evening wind again if he went up to the rooftop, so he would get some medicinal wine for him then. Tap your lips to dispel the cold.Although in June, it is quite rare to dispel the cold.

"Here, it's not like this, and there's nothing to see." Pei Ling turned her head and said to Sai Tianxian on her back.

"You, let me go, come down."

Pei Ling was surprised by Sai Tianxian's request, "What are you doing down here? You can't stand for long with your current body."

But Sai Tianxian insisted on getting off Pei Ling's back, Pei Ling had no choice but to put him down.As soon as he got off the ground, Sai Tianxian couldn't control his balance and fell to the side. Fortunately, Pei Ling supported him, and he didn't dare to let go of the support.Sai Tianxian's unsteady body, they are still standing on the edge of the roof at the moment, if Pei Ling doesn't support him, with his fragile body, if there is a wind blowing over in a while, he will be taken from the roof to him What if it blows down?

Pei Ling looked at the not-so-high roof enclosure wall, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, but he couldn't hold back Sai Tianxian and wanted to stand for a while, so Pei Ling could only worry on the sidelines, "Why do you want to be alone?" How long have you been standing?"

"I just want to stand side by side with you for a while."

He knew that Pei Ling had taken good care of her all the way back, but he also knew that Pei Ling was worried all the time.When meeting Dai Zhiyi who loves to jump, Sai Tianxian was still a little bit envious. Although he said that he would not die no matter what, it didn't seem to make Pei Ling feel less worried about him.Moreover, even if he won't die no matter what, Sai Tianxian doesn't really want to stay in this state forever.Because facing him like this, Pei Ling couldn't respond to his seriousness before.His fragile body probably couldn't bear Pei Ling's response.Sai Tianxian is very sure that Pei Ling's love must be as strong and huge as his appearance, because he has a big heart.It would be great if I also had that liveliness of Bai Yiyi, at least it won't be more disappointing than this fragile body.

"Xian'er, what's wrong?" Pei Ling looked at Sai Tianxian who was standing silently, thinking he was tired, "Is it because my body can't hold it anymore? I'll carry you down?"

Sai Tianxian shook his head slowly, "Not yet, point me to the place where you lived before."

Pei Ling thought that he was quite persistent, so she pointed to the lamp wrapped around the electric pole at the far corner of the alley, "Did you see that lamp?"

Sai Tianxian looked in the direction of Pei Ling's finger and nodded.

Pei Ling moved his finger and pointed to the shanty behind the lamp, "Enter at the intersection of that lamp, go straight, turn right when you see a bend, go forward, go through two intersections and then turn left. Go in That’s the fifth family of my family.”

At first, Sai Tianxian could still see the roofs of the houses at the intersection, but the more Pei Ling pointed in, the less he could see, "Is it that deep?"

"Well. Because the closer to the intersection, the more expensive the house is, the cheaper it is to go in. The road going in is not easy to walk, and each family has built some extra sheds, which occupy the road. The road is very narrow, and the canopy The building is low and blocks the light. Be more careful the further you go in."

"Because it's easy to fall? So, be careful?"

Pei Ling smiled and shook her head and told him, "No, because the road is not bright, and it's easy to step on shit."

"Wow!" Dai Zhiyi jumped to the corner of the wall with one foot, the soles of his shoes kept rubbing against the wall, and complained, "What the hell, let's forget about the black lights, but there is still shit!"

After rubbing for a long time, he couldn't clean it, and Dai Zhiyi gave up on himself and wanted to go back the same way, but when he looked at his ankle, he realized that even the emergency money he had hidden was gone, so he gritted his teeth and continued to go deep into the alley. "If it wasn't for the money, I wouldn't come to this damn place. By the way, how many times have I turned the corner?"

The shit just kicked made Dai Zhiyi a little bit unable to remember how many times he had turned. In his impression, he seemed to turn right first and then left, "Why did you do it after turning? Oh, Yes, we have to count, it is said to be the fifth family."

Instead, while counting, he thought to himself that modern technology is reliable. If his phone hadn’t turned off due to battery failure, he would have found it by himself with the help of navigation, so he wouldn’t have to count people here, maybe he wouldn’t even know shit. stepped on.

When he finally counted to the fifth family, Dai Yiyi's mood improved slightly when he thought about the money coming into his account. He abandoned his short-term dependence on modern science, and began to beg his ancestors in his heart again.

"Master, master, give me some strength later."

After refreshing himself, Dai Yiyi stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The people in the house had been waiting for a long time, and when the door opened, many heads poked out from behind the door.Luckily, Yiyi was calm enough, facing many curious scrutinizing eyes behind the door, he just pretended to pinch his fingers and said, "No, no. I feel something is wrong here."

Originally it was just nonsense, if it was right, Dai Zhiyi would not have received the job here, he had already spoken on the phone before coming here.But people tend to be in a trance when they are nervous, and when they are in a trance, they need a backbone. No matter whether they are reliable or not, now that they appear in front of the door, the seemingly calm Dai Yiyi has become the backbone of the people in this room.

"Xiao Yi is here? Come in quickly."

Dai Zhiyi's familiar voice came from behind the crowd, Dai Zhiyi looked into the back room and called, "Uncle?"

Everyone in front of the door moved away one after another, Dai Zhiyi finally saw someone, a man in his forties was lying on the lower bunk bed, when he saw Dai Zhiyi, a smile finally appeared on his dejected face, Dai Zhiyi outside the door beckoned, enthusiastically asking him to come in quickly.

Dai Zhiyi looked at the man lying on the lower bunk, straightening his neck to let him come in quickly, walked to the side of his bed and looked up and down the immobile man, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

"Broken rib."

Thinking about the way he came in, he thought to himself, that way is indeed easy to fall, but the broken ribs are too serious.After all, Dai Zhiyi had been taken care of by him, so he asked worriedly at this time, "Have you been to the hospital?"

"I went. I came back after a few days in the hospital. Every time the doctor asked me why I fell, I didn't know what to say. By the way, have you eaten yet?"

Dai Zhiyi shook his head, "No."

He thought to himself, yes, this fall for no reason is much more uncomfortable than stepping on dog shit for no reason. The ribs are gone.

"Would you like to eat something first? I asked my coworkers to help me go out and buy some cooked food as you said."

"Don't worry about eating. Uncle, do you have a charger here? My phone is out of battery and turned off. Let me charge it first." After Dai Zhiyi saw the charger by the pillow, he took the charger and looked around for it. socket.After looking around for a week, I found the charging port under the opposite bed.He walked over without thinking, sat down on the empty bed on the lower bunk opposite, bent down to plug in the electrical appliances.

After inserting his hands, he felt that a brick under his feet seemed to be loose. He looked down and saw a familiar pattern on the loose brick, carved with a knife, and the imprint was very deep.Sai Tianxian looked at it carefully, and felt that he had seen this pattern somewhere and couldn't remember it for a while.

In order to take a closer look, he couldn't help reaching out to touch it. After touching it, his fingertips felt sticky. Then he remembered the dog shit he stepped on outside when he came here. The foot he stepped on this brick just now was also stepping on dog shit. that foot.That sticky hand is not what it is.

"Wow!" Dai Zhiyi, who realized what he had touched, stood up immediately, but hit his head on the upper bunk bed and covered his head in the first reaction. The thing in his hand was brought to his hair again, and he said again, "Wow Damn!" This time he just sat down on the ground.

Everyone saw him sitting on the ground grinning, but no one came up to help him.Instead, he climbed up by himself while holding on to the railing.The man lying on the opposite bed beckoned him to come over, "That bed is evil, you can't sit on it."

Dai Zhiyi rubbed his buttocks and retreated to the opposite bed, "What's the matter?"

"I just rolled over in my sleep, and I accidentally rolled over from that bed and broke my ribs."

"Ah?" Dai Zhiyi looked at the lower bunk on the opposite side. It was estimated that it was not even fifty centimeters above the ground. How could it break someone's bones?

"It's because of this that I don't know how to tell the doctor. To tell the truth, I think I'm fooling people."

"What's wrong with this bed?"

The man who was recuperating on the bed pulled Dai Zhiyi and leaned over, and whispered into his ear, "At first I thought it was something unclean that I touched. No, something just happened in my country house. I thought the girl followed me after the accident. Otherwise, I would turn over and break my ribs."

Hearing what he said, Dai Zhiyi straightened up and looked at the man's face carefully, "I don't think so. Your seal is not black either."

This time the man didn't pull Dai Zhiyi to lean over, "Isn't it broken and I went to the hospital for a few days? The bed was vacant, so I lent it to Xiao Zhang and his cousin for a few days." Talking nuzuzui, he pointed Dai Zhiyi to look at Xiao Zhang, and Dai Zhiyi looked back, and saw a bull-nosed person.

"Hey, his nose wasn't like that before. He fell too. He fell out of bed in the middle of the night and fell on his face, so his nose became like this."

The young man named Xiao Zhang defended himself, "I used to be handsome!" Xiao Zhang touched his swollen nose, "The nose is broken and changed, which has lowered my appearance."

Seeing his red and swollen nose, Dai Yiyi wanted to laugh, but he still comforted him, "It's okay, your money palace has grown."

"At first I didn't think there was something wrong with the bed, it was just a fall, and I didn't care. It's just that after Xiao Zhang fell, he switched beds with his cousin, and his cousin also fell off the bed in the middle of the night. Later, he changed the bed. , Whoever sleeps will wrestle. Isn't this a bit evil?"

"Ask me to do it just for this?"

Another person in the room said, "It's a bit too much to ask you to do it just because you fell down. At first, we thought it was because the ground was uneven, so it was easy to fall out of bed in the middle of the night."

Instead, Yi thought it was possible, after all, he had just discovered a loose brick on the ground.But he was invited to do it, so he couldn't admit that it was such a simple reason that they fell to the ground in the middle of the night while sleeping.

"I don't think it's that simple."

"That's not it!" Someone answered with a slap.But Dai Zhiyi was taken aback, "As expected of a little fairy, you got it right."

Instead, he pretended to be calm and accepted the compliment, "Speak as you say, don't be so startled, I don't know what you were surprised by."

Everyone pursed their lips when they heard the words, you looked at me, I looked at yours, and finally they all gathered around, looking quite mysterious, but Yi Yi knew that the main event was behind.

"At first we didn't pay attention to it, but later we accidentally heard from the old landlord on Qiantiao Street that a Southeast Asian lived here many years ago. He was talking about it every day and didn't know what to do, and he wasn't like other migrant workers. I get up early and stay late, sometimes I don’t go out all day with my bag, sometimes I go out with my bag and wander around all day, and I don’t see anyone for a whole day. Then one day, the person disappeared inexplicably. The bed seems to be the time when he slept old bed."

After saying this, everyone turned their heads to look at the empty bed against the wall.I don't know who said something extra, "In the movie, the Southeast Asians who don't always play some head-bending techniques, curses or something? Could it be that there are some curses on the bed?"

"Ah?" Dai Zhiyi swallowed nervously, but he couldn't show his feet in front of many people, so he pretended to be calm and said, "What's wrong with cursing, cursing a bed? It seems that he is not very good at it." big."

"Yes, yes, yes." Everyone echoed Dai Zhiyi's words, pulled Dai Zhiyi and pushed him forward, "Then little god, hurry up and remove the curse."

"Wait a minute. I'll ask the patriarch to get on his upper body."

Someone asked curiously, "Didn't it mean that the other party is not very capable? Why do you want to invite the patriarch?"

Of course it was for putting on airs, but the truth couldn’t be said that way. Instead, Yi just said, “Intangible things have to be suppressed by intangible things.”

After speaking, Dai Zhiyi clasped his hands together and raised his head above his head, stomping his foot on the ground and shouting, "Hurry up like a law." After shouting, he pretended to be convulsed, stealing eyes from time to time to see everyone's reaction, seeing that no one was suspicious, and some They lowered their heads, clasped their hands together and said blessings, while others widened their eyes as if to see what happened.

Afraid of revealing his flaws, Dai Zhiyi jumped forward, further away from the crowd.Squinting his eyes, he saw the brick on the ground again.He always felt familiar with the marks on the bricks, where had he seen them?

ah!Dai Zhiyi remembered it, and stopped pretending to be a great dancer. Seeing that his movements stopped, everyone came up and asked, "Is it resolved?"

Dai Zhiyi ignored their questions and only frowned at the brick on the ground. He remembered that there was also a brick with this mark on the place where Pei Ling lived.
