Strange Story of Strange House

Lin Chi originally didn't want to tell the two fathers about the death robbery, for fear that they would be worried, but how could such a thing be kept secret?With today's advanced communications, the entire incident is broadcast within minutes of the car accident.

It's just that Lou Qi moved quickly. Shen Jinghan went to Yunlou to pick up Huaiyin. Before he could leave the house, he saw Lou Qi half-supporting and half-holding Lin Chi, who was paralyzed and weak-handed, entering the door. What did Lin Chi experience in this state? Suddenly new hatred and old hatred came to his heart, he threw his son into his wife's arms, grabbed Lou Qi and went out.

The yard outside Yunlou was enough to fight, Shen Jinghan and Lou Qi were evenly matched in strength, but at the moment Lou Qi felt guilty, and the fight was a little restrained, so this "discussion" quickly turned into a unilateral beating by Shen Jinghan.

Of course, Lin Chi could see Lou Qi's release of water, and immediately rushed over to hug Lou Qi, and looked at Shen Jinghan eagerly: "Dad, stop!"

"Get up, Xiaochi." Shen Jinghan was not willing to stop there.

"If you do it again! I will never talk to you again!"

"You little thing, I'm venting my anger on you!" Shen Jing smiled coldly, but he still held back as Lin Chi wished, but Lin Chi didn't get up from Lou Qi's arms.

"Xiao Chi?" Suddenly there was no movement in his arms, Lou Qi looked down and realized that Lin Chi had fainted at some point, "Xiao Chi!"

In the few short hours that he was separated from them, Lin Chi had gone through a whole night's long trek on the dark road of chaotic time and space. Unlike his companions who had left their souls, Lin Chi's physical exertion was real.In addition to the exhaustion of physical strength, the long road with no end in sight also brought great psychological pressure to Lin Chi. In the later stage, Lin Chi, who was physically and mentally exhausted, almost relied on perseverance to barely support him.

Lin Chi finally returned to Lou Qi's side, calmed down, and was held down for some exercise. It was not easy to hold on until now.

little late...

Xiao Chi, wake up...

Lin Chi opened his eyes in a daze, and found that Huaiyin was standing in front of his bed with a helpless expression on his face. Seeing him wake up, Huaiyin reached out to hug him, hugged him and patted his back: "It's time to get up .”

etc!What happened to being hugged? !

Lin Chi turned his head and looked at the only mirror in the room. In the mirror, he looked young, because he was malnourished, so he was much smaller than children of the same age... He was clearly the age when Huaiyin just picked him up!

Lin Chi frowned delicately, but Huaiyin thought he was being coquettish: "Hey, didn't you agree to go back to school today? I have missed the class for so long, and I will not be able to keep up if I don't go back..."

"Go and wash up, I'll get you something to eat." Huaiyin rubbed Lin Chi's hair and put him in the bathroom.

Lin Chi stood in the bathroom, watched Huaiyin leave, and then pinched himself, but it didn't hurt... He guessed it was a dream from the very beginning, because it was far less real than when he entered the puzzle a few times before, but it was better than the previous puzzles. Insufficient is more than sufficient. Compared with other dreams that Lin Chi has experienced, this dream is much more real.

So even if Lin Chi realized that it was a dream, he couldn't wake up.

"Xiao Chi, come and have breakfast!" At this time, Huaiyin was not used to preparing food for human children, but Lin Chi was afraid of being abandoned again, so he always pestered him, and refused to eat if it wasn't made by him, so Huaiyin had to follow suit. Learn the recipes bit by bit... Later, he did reach the point where he can cook a table of sumptuous food by himself, but right now, he obviously hasn't started out yet.

"Here we come!" Lin Chi washed up and sat down at the dining table. The food was a little hard to swallow, but Lin Chi didn't mind.

Afterwards, he obediently put on the schoolbag that Huaiyin had organized, and was escorted out by Huaiyin.There was a bus near Yunlou that went directly to the school gate. Lin Chi sat in the last row, looking at the familiar scenery outside the window.After arriving at the station, he found the location of the class with his vague memory, but looking at the chasing crowd and the seats full of books in the class, he couldn't help muttering - where did he sit?

Lin Chi walked into the classroom and walked towards a girl whose name she couldn't remember clearly in the first row: "Sorry to bother you, do you know where I sit? I haven't been here for a long time."

The girl raised her eyes and frowned immediately: "Stay away from me!"

"Huh?" Lin Chi was stunned for a moment, and then took a step back silently. His good upbringing prevented him from speaking rudely to a girl, but that girl obviously didn't have this consciousness. She turned to face her deskmate in front of Lin Chi. Said: "My mother told me to stay away from him. He can see ghosts. He sees those dirty things a lot. I don't know if it will have any impact. In short, you should also stay away from him. You have contact with him." Not a good thing."

Lin Chi endured it and didn't say a word. He has long been used to criticism from others, and it is not for him to argue that the status quo can be changed.So for the next few years, he has been careful to hide the fact that he can see ghosts.

Lin Chi wants to calm things down, but things often don't go as expected.Just as he turned to walk away, several boys surrounded Lin Chi, blocking Lin Chi's way: "Lin Chi, I heard that your parents don't want you anymore? Where do you live now? I heard people saw you sleeping in the Under the flyover near the third ring road, it can’t be true, right? Your parents don’t support you anymore, what do you eat? Do you want food?”

"Tell us if you have any difficulties. I still have unfinished breakfast here. I'll reward you for lunch."

Lin Chi froze in place, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces in front of him. They laughed, made noise, and indifferently turned out the wounds buried in his heart, and exposed them naked to the sun.His bewilderment became their talking point, and by making fun of his wounds, they cemented their young friendship.

Lin Chi's hands and feet were cold, because this was not just a dream, but a restoration of his unbearable past.

During the period after being abandoned by his parents, he had no fixed place to live, let alone go to school, and barely maintained enough food and clothing.I don’t know how he was seen by a classmate sleeping under the flyover, and another classmate saw him flipping food out of the restaurant...

Later, he was picked up by Huaiyin who was hungry and brought him home. After he settled down, Huaiyin asked him to go back to school, and he went back to school happily.Unexpectedly, the rumors spread so violently, within a few days, the whole class knew about him, and the classmates began to exclude him, make fun of him, despise him, and even treat him like a snake, fearing to avoid him.

Sometimes, the child's unintentional injury is the most direct and bloody.

Everyone thinks he is poor, he has picked up garbage, eaten leftovers, can see ghosts, and was abandoned by his parents, so he must be bad.

The idiosyncrasies of the world that laughs at the poor but not at the prostitutes are so vividly displayed in this small junior high school.

Soon, the class bell rang, and everyone returned to their seats. Lin Chi looked around and locked his eyes on the only vacant seat in the classroom.He walked over, opened the messy books on the table, and saw his name as expected.

During his absence, his seat has apparently become a second trash can. The drawer is full of used draft paper, discarded test papers and empty snack packaging bags. He silently takes out the trash and throws it away. The male student across the aisle sneered, without any intention of helping.

At this moment, the head teacher came in with the lesson plan, and saw the extra person in the empty seat at a glance: "Lin Chi also came to class? Why are you missing so many days of class?"

"Teacher!" Lin Chi's female deskmate raised her hand suddenly, "I don't want to sit with Lin Chi."

"Why?" The head teacher pushed his glasses, "Why don't you want to sit with Lin Chi? Didn't you all sit together before?"

"Last time Lin Chi said that there was a ghost following Zhou Jianwei, and Zhou Jianwei fell down the stairs the next day." The female tablemate almost cried as she spoke, "Teacher, I don't want to sit with Lin Chi !"

Seeing this, the teacher in charge had no choice but to comfort her and promised to change her position.Afterwards, the head teacher asked the other students, "Is there anyone willing to sit with Lin Chi?"

The whole class, no one raised their hands.

This was expected, but Lin Chi was still a little sad.

The homeroom teacher obviously didn't expect the students to be so uncooperative. In the end, he asked Lin Chi to move to the first row, side by side with the desk, and became the teacher's "same desk".

There was a physical education class in the afternoon, Lin Chi consciously didn't join the boys' game, but the group obviously didn't want to let him go easily.Just when Lin Chi was sitting alone on the edge of the playground in a daze, a basketball hit his head fiercely. Lin Chi was instantly blinded and covered his head for a long time, unable to move, but this is not the end, just this time, no An arrogant male voice sounded in the distance and said, "Do you think I can cast correctly?"

The boys on the basketball court burst into laughter, and at the end they shouted at Lin Chi: "Little beggar, bring us the basketball."

Children in this age group are in the stage of shaping the three views, and their legal awareness and moral concepts are relatively weak. Relying on their young age, they will act willfully and recklessly, regardless of the consequences.In their view, their own unhappiness can be imposed on others, and it is a cool thing to bully the people everyone bullies...

Total disregard for other people's feelings.

After returning home, Lin Chi climbed onto Huaiyin's bed and buried himself in the emaciated arms of his parents, clamoring to sleep with them.Huai Yin scratched his nose helplessly, and said with a smile, "He's such an old man, are you ashamed?"

After a while, Huaiyin asked cautiously: "Xiao Chi, have you been away from school for so long, is there anything uncomfortable about you? I see that you...are not very happy today."

"...It's okay, after a while, I'll get used to it." Lin Chi didn't know how to answer, he was a boy, he shouldn't cry about such things, and he was also afraid that the new parent would think he was busy, but When the wound is sprinkled with salt, he still feels pain.

"Xiao Chi, what's the matter with you? What happened?" Huaiyin noticed the abnormality of the child, but no matter how much he asked, Lin Chi said it was all right, and just buried his head deeply in the pillow, which did not seem to be all right at all. look.

In the middle of the night, after Lin Chi fell asleep, Huaiyin got up gently.

But Lin Chi was a light sleeper, and when Huaiyin moved, he woke up.After Huaiyin went out, Lin Chi also sat up. He got out of bed, walked to the door on tiptoe, gently pushed the door open a gap, saw Huaiyin opened his schoolbag, and checked for him as usual. Nothing leaked.

Lin Chi's heart skipped a beat, and as expected, the next second, Huaiyin took out Lin Chi's textbook from his schoolbag with a puzzled expression on his face.

Of course Lin Chi knew what was written in the textbook - little beggar, broom star... almost all the vicious words they could think of were written in his textbook.Hurting sentences were randomly scribbled, and full of malice through the textbooks, vividly on the paper.

Huaiyin was obviously taken aback, and at this moment, Yun Jing suddenly pushed the door open and came in.

"Yun Jing, shouldn't I adopt this child?" Huaiyin sighed softly, and handed Lin Chi's textbook to Yun Jing, "I can't give him the protection a parent should give him at all."

Yun Jing dug out an eraser and correction fluid from Lin Chi's schoolbag, and wiped away those unsightly sentences bit by bit.

"The child has nothing left. If you abandon him again, you will really force him to die." Yun Jing said, "The child is not raised for fun. From the moment you decide to keep him, there is no giving up. s right."

"I know... I didn't think about abandoning him. I just feel sorry for such a good boy. I can't do anything for him."

Lin Chi covered his mouth violently, trying not to cry out. At that time, he endured the humiliation at school, and pretended to be obedient at home, for fear of being abandoned.

Huaiyin and Aunt Yun saw all this. Under the dim light, they carefully wiped his textbooks, as if caring for him carefully.Lin Chi gritted his teeth and held back his tears, but the next day, when he saw the cleanly disposed textbooks, he couldn't help but shed tears.

On this day, exclusion remains the same.

In the middle of the class, a teacher who was not familiar with the situation in the class came to the class to look for Lin Chi: "Lin Chi, Lin Chi come out!"

He stood at the door and called Lin Chi, but before Lin Chi could agree, the boys in the class started booing again: "Teacher, there is no Lin Chi in our class, you have found the wrong person!"

The feeling of being denied from beginning to end made Lin Chi even lose the courage to stand up and agree...

After finally surviving school, Lin Chi walked out of the school gate with heavy steps, but suddenly found a familiar figure at the school gate: "Huaiyin?!"

Huaiyin was supposed to rest during the day, but he showed up at Lin Chi's school gate.Huaiyin was beautiful and had a good temperament, and soon became the focus of everyone's attention. He didn't care at all, and waved to Lin Chi: "Xiao Chi, come here."

Lin Chi flew over and held his hand: "Why are you here?"

"I'll pick you up, and I see parents of other children coming to pick them up too."

"Don't be so troublesome, don't you dislike the sun? I can go back by myself." As a ghost, although Huaiyin is not afraid of the sun, he is not shy about it.

After basking in the sun for a while, he looked a little uncomfortable, but he still smiled and led Lin Chi to walk home slowly: "I don't know what else I can do for you besides this?"

Lin Chi woke up from crying. He suffered too much suffering in his childhood, abandonment by his parents, cold treatment from his classmates, and even school violence... But he also had the complete parenthood Huaiyin gave him. like.When Huaiyin passed away, he was far below the age of being a father, but he still carefully cared for the child he picked up and gave Lin Chi all the love.This kind of love filled Lin Chi's imperfect youth and taught him that all sincerity should be treated with tenderness.

"Xiao Chi, what's wrong with you?" Lou Qi stayed by Lin Chi's side all the time, saw him wake up crying, and wiped away his tears.

"I had a dream. I dreamed about things from my childhood..." Lin Chi couldn't stop his tears for a while, but his emotions were not sad. He took Lou Qi's hand and pressed it to his face, "I'm very happy... ...to meet you."

During the period when Lin Chi passed out, Di Deng had already informed Shen Huai and his death and the solution to it. After they sat down to discuss the feasibility of the plan, they all stayed with Lin Chi in Yunlou. Down, waiting for the arrival of the last puzzle.

After settling down, Lou Qi brought Yun Bao over, but due to Lin Chi's recent situation, Yun Bao stayed by Huai Yin's side most of the time.

On this day, Lin Chi was lying in the courtyard to enjoy the cool air, and Lou Qi was by his side. A child's teasing laughter came from the second floor. Lin Chi looked back, and turned to discuss with Lou Qi: "Yun Bao's name has not yet been released." up."

"Ok?"

"You can give him a name. You can't always call Yunbao Yunbao, you still have to have a formal name." Lin Chi leaned over, put his head on Lou Qi's shoulder and rubbed, "Wait for everything to happen." That's settled, we'll be sending Rainbow Dash to school in a few days."

"...Let's call it Lou Yun, it's the Yun Tower to commemorate you." It has both Lou Qi's surname and the Yun Tower that Lin Chi cares about the most. It couldn't be a better name.

******

With the guarantee of the ground lamp, Lin Chi didn't worry too much about the impending death.However, he himself is generous, but the people around him are not at ease. Therefore, Lin Chi has to stay in the cloud building all day, with his lover and family. Fortunately, it is summer vacation, and he can't delay anything if he doesn't go out.

But Lin Chi didn't expect that it was the dispute between Shen Huai and his wife that came earlier than the seventh puzzle and death.

After Shen Jinghan reconciled with Huaiyin, he became a wife-slave. From a vicious big devil to a temper-tempered little husband, he talked to Huaiyin even more softly, lest he would frighten this lost and regained love. daughter in law.Lin Chi was really surprised that the two could argue.

"Shen Jinghan, listen carefully! I don't agree! There is no need to discuss this matter." Through the door, Lin Chi heard Huai Yin growl at Shen Jinghan with suppressed anger.

After a while, Shen Jinghan said in a deep voice, "I can't lose you anymore."

"I told you I'm fine!" Huaiyin paused, and his tone slowed down, but he refused to back down on this matter, "Don't worry, I'm fine, don't mention this matter again."

"What if? What if something happens, what do you want me to do?"

"Jinghan..." Huaiyin softened his voice, "Don't force me, I can't accept it..."

"Now you are forcing me!"

In the end, the two broke up unhappy. After Shen Jinghan slammed the door and left, Lin Chi pushed the door lightly and walked in: "Daddy..."

"Huh? Xiaochi, are you here... I thought you were downstairs with Lou Qi..." Huaiyin leaned on the sofa, stretched out her hand to pinch the bridge of her nose, looking very tired, "Sorry for disturbing you Bar?"

"It's nothing, why are you arguing?" Lin Chi stood behind Huaiyin, stretched out his hands to massage a few acupuncture points on his head, and didn't stop until he saw that his expression was relaxed.

"It's nothing, just some disagreements." Huaiyin obviously didn't want to say more, but Lin Chi didn't intend to expose it.

"What's your opinion?" Lin Chi asked, "He is usually obedient to you, why did he quarrel with you? What's going on?"

"..." Huaiyin hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell Lin Chi the truth, "Jing Han kept my corpse, but the condition of the corpse is not very good recently, and it began to show signs of corruption. At first I didn't take it seriously, after all, the corpse It has no value to me, and I advise him to take this opportunity to deal with it."

"Just for this?"

"...No, my state has been a little unstable recently. The last time I suddenly changed from a physical body to a soul body in front of him, it seemed to me a trivial matter, but he was worried... He wanted to collect souls for Come to nourish me, how can I accept it."

Lin Chi didn't know what to say for a moment. He didn't agree with Shen Jinghan's decision, but after hearing what Huaiyin said, he and Shen Jinghan were worried about Huaiyin's physical condition.

Seeing that Lin Chi was also starting to struggle, Huaiyin patted his head amusedly, and comforted him: "Okay, don't worry, look at this little face is wrinkled. I know my own body well, besides what your father said The method does not necessarily work, I will discuss this matter with him again, so don't worry about it."

Although Lin Chi nodded obediently, how could he really feel at ease?For so many years, he and Huaiyin depended on each other for life, and when he thought of Huaiyin feeling a little bit uncomfortable, he could not wait to replace him with his body.

Seeing his bitter face, Huai Yin was annoyed and funny, and waved him out: "Okay, you go to another place, don't hang around in front of me, it makes me dizzy."

As soon as Lin Chi went out, he saw Shen Jinghan standing outside the door with a lonely face.

"Dad, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Xiao Chi, is your father okay?"

Lin Chi had a bitter face when he heard the words, and glanced at Shen Jinghan, the eyes were so sad that Shen Jinghan, who was full of worries, couldn't help being amused by him: "What's wrong? His face is wrinkled."

"Huaiyin said I made his head hurt from shaking, and kicked me out." Lin Chi reached out and rubbed his cheek, "Dad, what happened to Huaiyin?"

"I told you before that Huaiyin has existed so far by virtue of his hatred for me, but now he doesn't hate me anymore." Shen Jinghan looked helpless, and he didn't know if there was anyone more miserable than him in this world. The hatred for him had existed for so many years, and it was hard for the two of them to let go of their previous suspicions, but the lover was in danger of dying out at any time because there was no hatred.

After Shen Jinghan finished speaking, Lin Chi immediately felt guilty. At the beginning, he slipped his mouth, which caused Shen Jinghan to confront Huaiyin before he was ready.

"I'm sorry, if I hadn't slipped my tongue, Huaiyin wouldn't have..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Jinghan rubbed his son's drooping head, "How can I blame you, if it weren't for you, your father still wouldn't talk to me until now! I'm already very satisfied."

"Then, what do we do now?"

"I've searched through the ancient books, but I can't find a case similar to your father's. I'm afraid that he won't hate me anymore, and people will disappear if he loses his resentment." Shen Jinghan smiled wryly, "I'm a devil, and there is nothing but you and your father." For the things I care about, I propose to use my living soul to nourish his soul, but a person like your father has been a good person all his life and has never done anything bad after death...he can't accept it."

"...Is there any other way?"

"It's not impossible, but I'm afraid. It's about Huaiyin. I don't want to take any risk. I just want to choose the most appropriate and safe one..." Shen Jinghan sighed, "But in this matter, we still have to respect your father Meaning, let me think again, let me think again..."
