Mr hell

……

It's no easy feat to fish a lazybones out of bed.But Huai Qi had to go to class, so he had to get up from the bed when it was close to ten o'clock.

There were many notifications in the class group, most of which were about the selection of scholarships last semester, the first year of freshman year evaluation, everyone's curiosity and enthusiasm for participation were very high, the topic of yesterday's group chat was all about this.

Huai Qi clicked on the file and saw that his name was listed there.Huai Qi was a little surprised, and read the document twice from beginning to end. It wasn't until he received the notice that he went to the instructor for an interview after class, and then he was sure that he had read it correctly.

Everyone has no objection to his selection. After all, his grades in black and white are the hardest evaluation criteria. In addition, Huai Qi is still in the student union, and he has participated in any competitions, and he has passed all evaluations.

The reason for the competition was that he was pulled by his seniors and sisters to be a coolie code farmer because he would not refuse, and he ran for the student union officer just to mess with the comprehensive test.So Huai Qi always felt ashamed, but he had to admit that when he saw his name, he was very happy.

He sat on the bench next to the flower bed in the school, put down his cell phone, and looked at the pigeons foraging for food in the square. After staring at them for a long time, he touched his cell phone again, wanting to share this surprise with others.

Huai Qi immediately thought that he could use the money to perform surgery on grandma.

Huai Qi has not often asked his family for living expenses since high school. After his parents died, the only source of income for the family was his grandma's savings and pension.

During the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, Huai Qi found a few jobs, and the money he earned from his internship was never used by his grandma.Even if I bought her nutritional supplements to take home, she would be stubborn and stuff Huai Qi back into her bag.

Grandma never asks Huaiqi to do anything for her, the only thing she enjoys with peace of mind is the honor that Huaiqi got for "study well".He remembered that the teacher in the first year of senior high school once organized a "small scholarship" to award 50 yuan to each of the top five students in the class at the end of the semester.

Huaiqi used the money to buy a silver-plated hairpin on the way home from school, and gave all the remaining change to grandma.The old lady was happy for several days, and the hairpin grew on her gray hair. She didn't want to throw it away until its spring broke, and put it in the old notebooks and test papers that Huaiqi had used since she was a child. in the box.

And the remaining change of 35 yuan was put into her savings bag, saving it for Huaiqi to go to college.

Years have cast a cloud over her eyes, and the doctor said it was cataracts, which may lead to blindness if it is delayed for too long.The operation is not difficult, and it only costs a few thousand dollars if reimbursed by medical insurance.Their family can't afford it, but grandma always thinks it's expensive and troublesome, so she doesn't go.

If it was paid with her own scholarship, she would definitely accept it "reluctantly", and maybe she would be very happy.

When Huai Qi came to his senses, the calling bell had rang for several rounds, and finally no one answered.

Huai Qi got used to it, and he asked grandma many times to keep her mobile phone with her, but she always forgot.Frequent missed calls.

He planned to make another call in the evening.He looked at his curled palms, waited for the pigeons to fly away and the people to disperse, and whispered Jian Yisu's name several times.

"Congratulations." Sitting beside him, Jian Yisu said, "How do you plan to reward yourself?"

Huai Qi didn't expect him to appear. He thought for a while and said, "Play games at home on weekends." Huai Qi said sincerely, "Can I ask you out?"

"Yes, I can, but I can only lend myself to you for a maximum of two hours a day."

Huai Qi silently remembered in his heart that he must go back and ask Daoist Qian why there is a time limit for ghosts to appear every day.

"I record the time at any time, and I won't delay your affairs."

"You can go to your classmate," Jian Yisu Wen said, "There is no such thing as a ghost to play games with."

"I" don't have particularly good friends. Huai Qi said, "Like you." "

"But you've only known me for a few days."

"But you've known me for a long time." Huai Qi said.

Su was silent for a while, then he let out a soft sigh and said, "All right, I can't compete with you."

"However, time is running out, and when you meet other ghosts, you have to face them yourself."

"You will show up when the time comes," Huaiqi twirled his thumbs together, looked at him expectantly, and said, "Right?"

"..."

Jian Yisu turned his head to look at the men and women in the square, and said, "I can't compete with you."

Huai Qi couldn't help laughing and said, "It's very easy for me to refuse, you don't even try."

A sincere smile is rarely seen on Huaiqi's face. Jian Yisu raised his hand and placed it on top of his head. Coincidentally, the boy passing by under his gaze also reached out and rubbed the girl next to him. head.

So Jian Yisu withdrew his hand halfway and propped it beside his leg.He said, "Let's go."

……

When Chen Panan and Ting Xue came back, Huaiqi had already prepared lunch.

Chen Mingqian didn't really want to see his father at the moment, because he was warned by his class teacher again.So he obediently buried his head on the table to eat, reducing his sense of presence.

The couple went home because the old man had a problem with his body, and now he is fine and is hospitalized.Granny Huaiqi is fine and is helping the hospital to take care of the elderly.

The second elder asked his son with his injured arm to go home to recuperate, and asked his daughter-in-law to go home and go to work with peace of mind, but they didn't want the couple to stay longer in the hospital.It's also thanks to Grandma Huaiqi who was willing to help, otherwise the appointment would be too busy.

Knowing that she must have left her cell phone at home, Huai Qi got through Chen Pan'an to get through to Chen Lao's cell phone and got in touch with grandma.

The old lady kept giving instructions on the opposite side, asking if she wanted to send something over.Except for answering "yes" and "no", Huai Qi basically had no chance to intervene until grandma said that she would change the medicine for the injured and hung up the phone. Huai Qi didn't tell him that she was selected for the scholarship.

It's not too late to wait until the money is sent, Huai Qi thought.

……

The jar containing the little boy's ghost was in his drawer.Because of the shrinking size, he became less scary, like a knitted curse doll, it was cute when his two little hands touched the bottle wall.

The other ghosts accompanying the boy should still be wandering outside. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble to Brother Chen, Huai Qi decided to move back home.

Huai Qi had only lived at Chen Pan'an's house for a week, and Chen Mingqian felt quite dissatisfied, and after a long time of awkwardness, he silently came to help Huai Qi pack his things.

"By the way," Chen Mingqian took out a bunch of things from his pocket before Huai Qi left, and said, "This key appeared in my bag, is it yours?"

"key?"

Huai Qi found that the keychain in his hand was adorned with many things, including a small folding fruit knife.

Huai Qi immediately understood that this may have fallen when the little boy possessed Chen Mingqian that day.

"It's mine." Huai Qi took it over and thanked him.

There are three keys on this key chain, a pendant, a fruit knife, and a finger scissors.It seems that its owner is probably one of the forgetful people who often can't find things.

For the first time, Huai Qi carefully observed the pendant and stayed there for a long time.Because it was a perforated metal bottle cap with "one more bottle" written inside.The "lai" is still in traditional Chinese characters.

Huaiqi's brain swelled up, and it was that feeling again - the turbulent but fragmented yellowed picture and old voice brutally swallowed his brain space...

……

Huai Qi suddenly thought of his father.

Father was a man who worked on the sea.Every time the boat sails out of the coast, he will buy a lottery ticket at the shop in the port. No matter whether he wins or not, he can interpret the numbers on it to make a clear and logical prediction. Huai Qi, who is still young, does not understand this. .

Until the last time, "one more bottle" appeared in the beverage bottle cap that his father bought for him. Coincidentally, his father also won 300 yuan at the same time.Therefore, Huai Qi believed in fortune prediction.

Huai Qi remembered that he had won this prize before.

But luck is like a bird perched by his window for the time being. After the wind picked up, it slowly fluttered away and disappeared since then.

About his father "Huai Qi can't remember what happened next.

There are too many clips, and the brain is like an out-of-control TV with random cuts.And inexplicably jumped to another frequency band.

Memories of the three keys jumped in front of him.

At dusk, the red wine knocked down by God was poured on the flickering fireworks of the candles, setting the sky on fire.For the first time, his city was so beautiful.

A pair of well-knit hands, with an old scar running through the palms, contained a key in it, and handed it in his direction.

"We won't have to sleep outside anymore," said the young man opposite, "Zhizhi, you have a home now."

After a long silence, Huaiqi heard the chirping of birds with feathers and sunset.

"..."

"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to go to school with peace of mind."

"..."

"You jump lightly" hiss, it is heavier than before, it seems that you have eaten well. "

"..."

"Huh? You also know that I have a back injury, so be careful to throw you out."

"Why?" He cried. He joked, "Are you happy or feel sorry for me." "

"..."

He smiled and said, "I can't compete with you, little white-eyed wolf."

He and the other party were obviously talking, but Huai Qi couldn't hear what he answered.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, and he was still at his home.

Huai Qi pushed open the door of the warehouse of the house, and saw boxes full of unsealed beverage bottles that hadn't won the lottery.

It was only then that Huai Qi realized why the small shop next to the house was always sold out of Coke.Why does that person have to keep the key to the warehouse himself.Why did he have to unscrew the bottle cap for himself every time, and then congratulated without any surprise: "Zhizhi, you won the lottery again, today's good luck reservation."

When the man saw Huai Qi coming into the warehouse, he didn't speak, but smiled awkwardly.

"..."

He looked at Huai Qi's outstretched hand, shrugged his shoulders, and finally put the key in Huai Qi's hand.

"I just want to keep you lucky," he said.

Although in this way.

Huai Qi never bought this kind of Coke again, and it didn't matter to him what was printed on the bottle cap, because at that time, he felt that the person in front of him was enough to take over his good luck for the rest of his life.

Later, their family provided free carbonated drinks to neighborhood children for a month.As soon as school was over, the fence was full of chattering children.

Afterwards "the memory stays here.

……

The fence "Is it the iron fence in his dream?

It doesn't seem to be that there are no morning glories growing on the fence in front of their house.

What Huai Qi knew now was.

He used to live with someone in a big house of his own, which is completely different from his current small rented house.

And this key chain full of daily gadgets turned out to be his own. Two of the three keys were used to open the door and the lock of the warehouse respectively.

What he still doesn't know is the purpose of the last key.

and "Who's that guy?
