Strange Story of Strange House

Lu Yin found that Xu Gui was not very happy today.

"What's wrong baby?" Lu Yin picked up the baby and smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, "Why are you unhappy?"

"Mom, doesn't everyone like me?" Xu Gui grabbed the clothes on Lu Yin's chest, buried his head in the hollow of her shoulder, sobbing softly.

"No, why does the baby think that way?"

"Father doesn't like me, and my younger brother...hasn't come to play with me recently." Xu Gui said sadly.

"Dad doesn't dislike you. When you had an accident, Dad was also very sad. He just couldn't accept it for a while. You came back in this way..." Lu Yin said softly. At this time, she suddenly felt deeply, cherished The child in the novel is so different from other children.

He is so special, so...

"As for the younger brother, he also has his own things to do, so he can't play with the baby all the time."

"Today I went to find my brother's father. He said that he couldn't bring my brother to play because he died. I don't understand..." Xu Gui said in a low voice, "That woman killed her own child, she should pay for it , isn't it?"

"..." At that moment, Lu Yin was keenly aware of the problem with a mother's sixth sense, but she looked at the young child in her arms, he was still so young, what could he do?

Maybe she was worrying too much, but Lu Yin didn't want to discuss this issue with her child anymore, so she changed the subject calmly: "Baby, after the matter is over, my brother can continue to play with you."

"really?"

"Really!" As long as you think, mom will satisfy you with everything!everything will...

The next day, Lu Yin went out early. She only knew that the boy with the child was a student of S University, but she didn't know his name, major or grade, and she didn't even know if he had classes today. But her Xu Gui is so eager to have a playmate, so she must find him!

Lu Yin remembered seeing the father and son playing on the grass in front of the teaching area, so she came there and asked if anyone knew Lin Chi.

Fortunately, she happened to meet Lin Chi's classmate.Lu Yin is the kind of girl who catches people's attention. She is beautiful and gentle. Just standing there is a sight, not to mention she talks to you softly.

Under Lu Yin's attack, Lin Chi's classmates quickly lost their vigilance and told Lu Yin all the information about Lin Chi.So that day, Lin Chi, who skipped class, received a call from a strange woman: "Hi Lin Chi, I'm Lu Yin, can I talk to you?"

"May I ask who you are?" Lin Chi was startled out of sleep by this strange and strange phone call. He turned over and sat up. Who is Lu Yin?How do you know his name and phone number?

When the drowsiness dissipated, he suddenly remembered—isn't Lu Yin the mother of "little brother"?

"I'm Xu Gui's mother, and Xu Gui is the boy who always plays with your children." The woman's gentle and sweet voice came through the phone, inexplicably a little weird.

"Xu Gui? Is that the child's name?"

"Yes, it's my child's name." Lu Yin was obviously very happy when Lin Chi asked Xu Gui's name.

"Xu Gui he..." It's not human, right?Lin Chi hesitated for a moment, but swallowed the second half of the sentence. Facing the mother who loved the child deeply, he couldn't say such words.

"To bother you today, I would like to ask you to listen to my request. When Xu Gui came home yesterday, he was very sad because he could no longer play with your child. Xu Gui is a very good child. I don't understand why you want to Stop them from being together?"

"..." Lin Chi was silent for a moment, and tentatively asked, "Don't you know the reason?"

"Xu Gui is so special, but he is really a good boy, and he also likes his younger brother very much..."

"What exactly is Xu Gui?" Lin Chi couldn't help but asked the question in his heart.

"He is my child! He is the child returned to me by heaven..." Lu Yin became excited all of a sudden, but before she could finish speaking, the sound of the door opening "creaked" interrupted her, and Xu Gui poked out a The little head called out "Mom".

"What's wrong baby?"

"Mom, can't brother play with me in the future?" Xu Gui raised his small face, "Am I being rejected?"

Hearing this, Lu Yin cut off the phone silently: "No, something happened at my brother's house, so his father can't continue to bring him to school. After a while, you will be able to play with him again." Lu Yin She hugged the child and patted him on the back. Her child is so special, and she finally met a playmate. She will not let anyone destroy this friendship.

After listening, Xu Gui became obviously happy, and he showed a big smile: "Yeah! I'll wait for my brother."

"By the way, my mother's best friend is going to be a guest at home today, Xiao Gui must be obedient."

"it is good!"

Xia Yu, who visited today, and Lu Yin have been classmates for four years, and they can be called close friends in the boudoir.Xia Yu arranged an internship program in her senior year, and almost all of them lived off-campus, even the dormitory was emptied.Now that I come back to hand in my graduation thesis, I can only live with Lu Yin.

At first, when Xia Yu asked to borrow, Lu Yin was a little hesitant. She wasn't sure if Xu Gui could get along well with Xia Yu, but then she thought that her Xu Gui couldn't hide from people all her life, so she agreed. up.

That afternoon, Xia Yu arrived.Lu Yin went to the school gate to help her carry her luggage, but found that her friend seemed unhappy.After dinner, the two chatted on the sofa, Xia Yu stopped talking several times, and said to Lu Yin: "Xiao Yin, I broke up."

"Hey? How come?! You are so well matched, I always thought that you would get married directly after graduation."

"Yeah, I thought so too, but that's all." Xia Yu sighed softly.

"Why do you want to break up?"

"Do you need a reason to break up? I don't like it anymore!" Xia Yu laughed mockingly, "Xiao Yin... I'm pregnant, it's his child, and I only found out after we broke up."

"!!!" Lu Yin was stunned, "Did you tell him?"

"What's the use, this relationship is irretrievable." Xia Yu hugged Lu Yin, tears streaming down her face.

When Lu Yin was comforting Xia Yu softly, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Xu Gui looked at them quietly through the crack of the door.

As soon as Lu Yin raised her head, she saw Xu Gui, the little child looking at her eagerly through the crack of the door.Her heart warmed, and she was about to call him in, but suddenly she heard Xia Yu say: "I want to get rid of this child, it is impossible for me to be with him, my life cannot be dragged down by this child!"

While Xia Yu was speaking, Lu Yin, who was watching Xu Gui, was surprised to find that Xu Gui's eyes became fierce and gloomy following Xia Yu's words.

"Little Gui!" Lu Yin couldn't help screaming, and in the blink of an eye, Xu Gui's fair little face had a pure and harmless expression.Is he collecting too fast?Or is she hallucinating...

"What?" Xia Yu straightened up when she heard the words, "What's wrong?"

Lu Yin knew that Xia Yu couldn't see Xu Gui, and Xia Yu's current situation was not a good time to introduce Xu Gui to her.

"It's okay, I'm stunned...By the way, Xia Yu, do you have to kill this child?" Lu Yin looked at Xia Yu worriedly, and Xu Gui's sudden abnormality just now made her feel terrified, "Anyway , this is your child after all!"

Xia Yu heard the words and sighed softly: "If possible, why wouldn't I want to keep this child, but I'm still so young, I can't be an unmarried mother...it will ruin my whole life!"

Lu Yin is speechless, everyone has their own ambitions, she can't use her own thoughts to restrain Xia Yu's behavior, after all, this is Xia Yu's life, and it should be her own choice.

"Then when are you going to kill this child?"

"The sooner the better, while the month is still young," Xia Yu lowered her head and touched her belly, "I don't have deep feelings yet..."

"Okay," Lu Yin saw that it was still early, and got up decisively, "Since it's decided, it's better to go early, I think it's now, I'll accompany you to the hospital."

"...Yes." Xia Yu was silent for a while, picked up her bag and went out first, followed by Lu Yin.Before leaving, she told Xu Gui: "Baby, you stay at home obediently by yourself, and mother will be back soon."

"Why did Auntie kill her baby?" Xu Gui lowered his head and asked softly.Lu Yin thought that Xu Gui must have been hurt by the scene, so she knelt down and pulled Xu Gui to her side.

"Although Auntie can't keep this child now, she loves him very much. No mother would not love her child..."

Xia Yu's voice came from behind: "Xiao Yin! What are you doing?"

"Here we come!" Lu Yin responded, and hurriedly kissed Xu Gui, "Mom is going out for a while, she will be back soon, don't run around."

After exhorting, Lu Yin closed the door and went to meet Xia Yu.She didn't see it. After the door closed, Xu Gui's eyes became cold and cruel again.

***

When Lu Yin returned home, it was nearly eight o'clock in the evening.She chose a small private hospital and took Xia Yu for surgery.Xia Yu will continue to work in this city in the future, and they both want to minimize the impact.

The operation was completed quickly, Xia Yu was very weak after the operation, the doctor asked to be hospitalized, Lu Yin naturally wanted to accompany the bed, but she was worried about Xu Gui at home, so she hurried home while Xia Yu was asleep.

After comforting Xu Gui again, Lu Yin hurried back to the hospital.

Xia Yu did not return to Lu Yin's home until the evening of the second day. Lu Yin helped Xia Yu step by step into the house, and personally sent her to hell step by step.

Lin Chi scratched his head, looking at the hung up phone, feeling a little puzzled.The phone call started and ended so abruptly, on the contrary, it made Lin Chi firm in his heart not to let Yun Bao and Ying Ling continue to contact each other.

Since sending Yunbao to Huaiyin, Lin Chi has been free and has nothing to wait on. He skipped class again this morning, and Lin Chi fell asleep again.When I opened my eyes again, it was almost noon, and the sun was shining warmly on the small courtyard covered with ivy, giving off a sense of comfort.

The noodle restaurant is divided into front and back yards. The first floor of the front yard is the business part of the noodle restaurant. The second floor is the residence of Danqing and his brother. The first floor of the backyard is an exquisite small courtyard. The living room and study are on the second floor.

When Lin Chi wandered downstairs, Lou Qi was in the tea room, picking up the purple sand pot with his slender fingers, and pouring the fragrant tea into the cup in front of him.

"Do you want to try it? The new Keemun black tea." Lou Qi asked with a smile when he saw him coming in.

Lin Chi nodded, and moved to Lou Qi's side, watching Lou Qi warming utensils, setting tea, brewing, and pouring tea in one go. When the tea was slightly cold, he picked up the teacup and looked at Lou Qi, then poured it into his mouth.

"The cow chews peonies." Lou Qi shook his head, put down the tea set helplessly, and embraced Lin Chi who was not interested in tea at all but kept rubbing against him, "What's wrong?"

Lin Chi shook his head, enjoying this silent intimacy.

Lou Qi saw that the little guy beside him was staring at him blankly, his eyes were full, and suddenly flashed through his mind the words he had read in the book before: When someone who loves you looks at you, there are stars in his eyes the sea.Lou Qi paused, then smiled, and continued with the movements of his hands...

Lou Qi is happy and quiet. Apart from reading books and tasting tea, he has no other hobbies on weekdays. He is completely like a retired veteran cadre, but with such a face, everything he does is pleasing to the eye.

Lin Chi snuggled up to Lou Qi's side to watch his movements, and occasionally helped to hand over the tools. The atmosphere was tacit and warm, but soon, a phone call from Shen Jinghan broke the tranquility.

"Xiao Chi, do you miss Dad?"

"...I don't want to." Lin Chi thought to himself: You're always cheating on me, and it's sure to be a bad thing if you find me!How could I miss you? !

"Cough," as expected, Mr. Shen cleared his throat, ignoring his son's lack of face, "It's such a baby, Dad has something to trouble you..."

"what's up?"

"Your father opened a studio before, do you remember?" Lin Chi was raised, and he had to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Huaiyin simply set up a studio outside to help people deal with supernatural events and earn living expenses.

"remember."

"There is a new case, it's not difficult, unfortunately, I took your dad and Rainbow Dash on a trip..." Shen Jinghan's voice suddenly became pitiful, "I haven't dated your dad for more than 100 years... ..."

"so?"

"Son!" Shen Jinghan said earnestly, "I finally persuaded your father to let you take a look and deal with it."

"Me?" Lin Chi's eyes widened, "Can I do it? I'm not as good as Daddy."

"Don't you have Lou Qi?" Mr. Shen blindly came up with his eyes closed.

"Father, don't you agree with us being together?" Lin Chi was a little amused. Mr. Shen would not be happy to see him and Lou Qi together on weekdays.

"Ahem," Shen Jinghan didn't seem guilty, "Son, you're still so young, isn't dad afraid that you will suffer a disadvantage...Okay, okay, your daddy called me, I sent the case to your mailbox, there is a problem Find Secretary Hu, bye."

Lin Chi looked at the hung up phone and laughed angrily. Shen Jinghan really deserves his title of "professional cheating son"!

In the past few days, Xia Yu hasn't been resting well. I don't know if it's because she just finished the operation. She always feels very tired. Apart from getting up and eating something to replenish her strength, she almost sleeps every day.

But she can't sleep well, she always has nightmares, in which bloody children appear again and again, they haven't even grown skin, they are blood red, clinging to her limbs, calling her mother, crying and asking her why to kill them.

At the end of the dream, there will always be a delicate-looking little boy, wearing a bright yellow hoodie and jeans, standing at the end of the long corridor, his eyes looking at her are so cold, as if...seeing her as death Things are average.

"Someone told me that murder pays for life—" the boy's whisper seemed to be infinitely magnified, echoing in the dream over and over again.

kill for life——

kill for life——

You have to pay with your life! ! !

Xia Yu woke up from the dream again. She dragged her heavy body and got up to pour herself a glass of water.It was raining patter outside the window, which should be the most refreshing weather, but she felt that the room was a little dull, so she went to the balcony to get some air.

She turned on the porch light and found that the balcony window was not closed, she could even hear the howling wind outside the window, the strange thing was that the window was open, why did she still feel stuffy?

Xia Yu was a little puzzled, and took a few steps forward, but the scene in front of her instantly made her hair stand on end!A small bright yellow hoodie was hanging on the balcony, fluttering in the wind.

how come? !Why are you here? !

She walked over quickly and grabbed the little dress.That's right!She didn't admit her mistake, she had seen it so many times in her dreams, how could she admit it? !

Xia Yu took a step back in horror, then threw the clothes on the ground.

"Auntie, why did you throw away my clothes?" The child's crisp voice suddenly came from behind, Xia Yu turned around abruptly, and the child in the dream stood so abruptly behind her.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

"This is my home, of course I'm here." The little boy passed her and bent down to pick up his clothes. "Auntie, didn't your mother teach you? Don't mess with other people's things..."

"Oh," the little boy suddenly smiled, "I forgot, you don't even know how to kill someone, how could you know not to touch other people's things?"

——Killing for life? !

Xia Yu's eyes were about to split open, and she stared at the child in front of her in fear...
