Hit ghost

It was raining outside the window all the time, accompanied by faint thunder, Xie Jin stepped on the wooden floor lightly, trying to avoid making unpleasant trampling sounds as much as possible.

When he passed by the sofa piled with bedding, he found that Wen Liang had already fallen asleep.His long white hair, which was nearly waist-length, was disheveled, and Wen Liang was not afraid of the cold with his upper body naked, tucking most of his face into the fluffy quilt, and he seemed to have fallen asleep long ago.

Xie Jin stood by and tried to take out the quilt from Wen Liang's armpit to cover him, but Wen Liang seemed to use the quilt as a pillow, and refused to let go, so he gave up, and then crept into his bed.

He was lying on his side facing the window, the sound of rain hitting the plastic ceiling outside the window and the faint sound of water coming from the bathroom blended together, Xie Jin lifted the quilt up, and his whole body almost became a plane.

The eyelids began to sink, and the exhaustion from running around all night soon began to appear in the limbs. Xie Jin felt that his limbs began to feel heavy and sore, as if the ends were tied with lead weights and fell to the ground.

Even in such a drowsy scene, his brain was still thinking wildly uncontrollably.Xie Jin closed his eyes, he thought of this not-so-big rental house, when did it start to be filled with all kinds of objects?

Is it Ji Duan?Or gentle?Or maybe it was the arrival of these two people that brought life to this shell that belonged to him to escape from everything. The originally empty rental house also stuffed a lot of second-hand appliances after Wen Liang decided to live there for a long time.

This is also very good, compared to being alone and not being understood by anyone, it is much better to have two friends who are worried about you standing behind you.

Just when Xie Jin was about to fall into a deep sleep when his consciousness was confused, the bed beside him sank, and he turned his head to look in a daze, but someone grabbed his waist, and the scent of shower gel of the same style as him wafted from his nostrils.

"Go to sleep." Ji Duan turned over and took Xie Jin into his arms, rubbing against the man's dry hair, "Go to sleep, Xie Jin."

A murmur made Xie Jin completely let go of his guard. He turned over to look for the source of heat, his arms unconsciously wrapped around something, and Xie Jin's breathing began to become soothing and steady.

After a dreamless sleep, Xie Jin opened his eyes after the "pillow" in his arms moved.The lights in the room were not turned on, but it was not difficult to tell from the light cast from the gap in the curtains that it should be getting late now.

"...Ji Duan?" Xie Jin realized that the so-called pillow in his arms was actually Ji Duan's waist, and he quickly withdrew his arm, as if scalded by the temperature, "Uh, now, what time is it? "

"Three fourteen." Wen Liang on the sofa not far away has also woken up, he is watching TV with the lowest volume, "I slept for more than eight hours, it seems that I slept well."

"Well... I didn't have a dream today." Xie Jin sat up from the bed, not sure if it was because he just woke up, his cheeks were flushed with a thin layer of blush.

"You can have a good rest this afternoon. Uncle Xie, are you going to the hospital?" Ji Duan took the clothes on the side and put them on. Have something to eat before going, you have eaten a half-poached egg since last night."

"Well... there are instant noodles at home, let me make some noodles, do you want to eat?" Xie Jin jumped off the bed, he tried to avoid the young man's smiling eyes, and at the same time he was glad that Wen Liang's focus was on the TV show from beginning to end , should not have discovered the situation on their side.

"I want two bags plus an egg." Wen Liang replied casually. He heard footsteps passing behind him, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Xie Jin, your phone is broken, right?"

"Yeah, it's broken again." Xie Jin was starting a pot to boil water. When Wen Liang reminded him that the old buddy who had been with him for many years was indeed completely scrapped in the pouring rain in the early morning, he smiled helplessly. After dinner, I'm going to check out my new phone."

"Well, I have a proposal." Wen Liang turned over and lay down on the sofa, facing Xie Jin who was in front of the stove, "After all, I live here with you, so I can't live and eat for free. I will pay you for your mobile phone. It’s like mortgage rent.”

Wen Liang fumbled on the sofa for a long time, then took out a savings card from his bag, "This card has 3000 yuan in it, and the password is 000405."

"How can this work? No need, I'll just buy it myself." Xie Jin quickly waved his hand and declined, "Wen Liang, you have helped me a lot, and I can't take any more money from you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ji Duan jumping off the bed, striding over to Wen Liang to get the savings card, the whole set of actions was smooth and smooth, without any hesitation.

"Uncle Xie, he already said that himself, why don't you, go on." Ji Duan couldn't help but stuff the card into Xie Jin's hand, as if the card belonged to him skillfully.

Xie Jin was still a little embarrassed, he looked at this and that with a bitter face, and finally found that the two seemed to be in collusion, as if they must give the money to him.

"Accept it, it will be my rent payment." Wen Liang yawned, eagerly urging, "Thank you boss for cooking the noodles, I will follow you in the future, but if I don't eat now, I will be hungry dead."

"Thank you, boss... Even if it's rent, it's too much money, so..." Xie Jin pursed his lips, the money Wen Liang gave him was almost worth five months' rent, the rent of the old house was low and there were more than one person Let's face it, no matter how you look at it, it's Wen Liang's disadvantage.

"Uncle Xie, the water is boiling, put the noodles." Ji Duan interrupted Xie Jin, pretending to be in a hurry to lift the lid of the pot, and pretending to be scalded by the steam, "Hiss! It's hot!"

Xie Jin really got his attention, and hurriedly sent the young man to work while he did it. Wen Liang witnessed all this silently, waved his hand to regain his senses and continued to watch his financial program.

After a simple meal, Xie Jin packed up and was ready to go out. Only Ji Duan was with him. Wen Liang said that he would continue to sleep and did not want to go to a place like a hospital.

The rain has stopped, but to avoid accidents, Ji Duan stuffed an umbrella into Xie Jin’s carry-on backpack, and the two of them exited the old building side by side. of mud.

Ji Duan walked in front, carefully avoiding all the gaps where mud might splash, and then stretched out his hand to Xie Jin: "Come."

Xie Jin was somewhat embarrassed, he was a man in his 30s, and he had to take care of young people younger than himself, which made him feel very ashamed, but Ji Duan's eyes were firm, as if he was saying that if he didn't hold Xie Jin by his side today, he would refused to go.

He had no choice but to compromise, even though it looked like he was punching the air to outsiders, but in Xie Jin's eyes, he was holding the young man who cared for him.

In the evening after the rain, a rainbow hangs on the golden sky dyed by the setting sun. There is a breeze blowing past the old street.

"Shall we go to the hospital first?" Ji Duan looked sideways, and Xie Jin was closing his eyes to feel the wind on his face, because he was leading him steadily forward without stopping.

Xie Jin shook his head, and he pointed to the small shop on the corner of the street: "Buy some things for brother Cheng's son and sister Zhang Chi before going to the hospital. The children have just been rescued, and the parents probably haven't bothered to buy something to comfort them. Emotional stuff."

He brought Ji Duan into the small shop he frequented. The shop owner was sitting in a glass cabinet at the door eating melon seeds. Seeing Xie Jin coming, she greeted him warmly: "Boy, are you here? Do you still want to call today?"

"Not today...Boss, are there any children's toys in the store? Can you pick some for me?" Xie Jin nodded politely to the boss. When he didn't have much money to charge the phone bill, he often came here to borrow a landline to make calls, so he and The boss is fairly familiar.

"Children's toys? I have some, I'll get them for you at the back." The boss threw a handful of melon seed shells into the trash can, got up and walked to the warehouse at the back, "What do you want, young man? If you buy more, I will give you a discount."

Xie Jin finally chose a car and a doll with an unauthentic pedigree from a pile of toys, plus a bag of snacks for children, because he and Ji Duan's interlocking hands were naturally also Just let go.

"Is it heavy?" Ji Duan looked at Xie Jin's two hands that were occupied by things, and seemed a little unhappy, "If possible, I really want to hold them for you."

Xie Jin just laughed: "That's not acceptable. Others will think that you have encountered a ghost in broad daylight. If you see several bags flying in the air, you will be taken away by an unknown organization for research."

"It's good to study it, at least it's better than holding on like this." Ji Duan regretted it as soon as he uttered his angry words, his head drooped in frustration, waiting for Xie Jin's reaction beside him.

"Ji Duan, are you..." Xie Jin sighed softly, not as aggressive as he imagined, "Are you not sure about getting rid of the curse on your body?"

This is the first time Xie Jin came into contact with the curse of shaman. Although he had heard of it before, he had never encountered it on a human body, so even if he wanted to, he could not feel the pain caused by this curse on Ji Duan. .

"No, I'm just..." I'm afraid that the day it won't be cured, when I leave you will be the same as when I first met you, Ji Duan secretly slandered, and didn't say the second half of the sentence, "Forget it , Don't worry, I'm fine."

"By the way, Uncle Xie, don't you think you've changed a bit recently?" Ji Duan changed the subject again, looking at Xie Jin's smiling face, "Do you feel that way?"

"Is there any change?" Xie Jin's face was a little itchy from Ji Duan's stare, he turned his face to try to avoid the fiery gaze, "Is there? I don't feel anything."

"Well, it's changed." Ji Duan affirmed, his hands were empty and did not hinder his movement, so his warm palms pressed against the man's thin cheeks, which seemed to have a thinner layer of flesh than before.

"I have become more smiling, and I can communicate with other people normally... It seems that I have gained a little weight."
