Chapter 22: The Unpredictable Relationship
"I'm a good girl, I just escaped from the tiger's mouth, and now I'm forcing me to go back, isn't this hitting the muzzle of the gun?" I stared at Sun Bald and shirked a little, Sun Bald didn't care about that, grabbed my collar, and dragged me to the back door.
"Bald man, you lighten it, there's a faceless woman in there, and she looks scary. "I wanted to break free of Sun Bald, but his hand was like a vice, and he grabbed me tightly.
"Bastard, you just kept saying that you wanted to save the girl, how are you cowardly now. Sun Bald yelled at me.
Yes, how did I forget about Xuanxuan, thinking of this, I was full of energy, and finally took the initiative to pull Sun Bald to move towards the corridor.
But when we came to the corridor, it was empty, not even a single figure, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle just now.
"Weird, where have all the people gone?, Xuanxuan, where are you?" I called softly, and Sun Bald touched my back and pointed to the end of the hallway.
I looked at the situation and saw a black shadow standing there, and after a few seconds, the black shadow actually bent down again, just standing up straight for a while, bending over and over again, back and forth, it was really incomprehensible.
"It doesn't seem to be a faceless woman, nor is it like Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan's figure is very slim. I tugged at the corner of the bald man's coat and pointed to the dark shadow at the end of the hallway, hoping that he would have a solution.
Sun Bald waved his hand at me and motioned for me not to come forward.
Sun Bald and I leaned against the wall, silently observing the dark shadow slowly approaching.
After a few seconds, I saw the true face of the black shadow, and it turned out to be the cleaning aunt.
Sun Bald looked at her carefully before turning around and leaving for a long time.
I remembered the scene when the cleaning aunt came to the rescue just now, and I was ready to say some words of thanks.
"Auntie, thanks to you just now, otherwise Xuanxuan and I would be in trouble. ”
The aunt didn't reply, still bending over and mopping the floor.
I stood aside and watched, and found that there were no scars on her body, indicating that the gang should not have done anything to her just now, thinking of this, my guilty heart was slightly comforted.
"Auntie, do you know where Xuanxuan is?" I asked cautiously, while twisting my body to look around, but still didn't see Xuanxuan's figure.
My aunt slowly raised her head, looked at me from top to bottom, and asked faintly, "Are you her classmate?"
I was stunned, I don't know how to answer this question, although I have met Xuanxuan a few times, but it is not a classmate relationship, why does my aunt ask so?
"I'm her...... Friend. "I have no confidence in what I said, after all, I just fabricated the identity of a classmate, and I don't know if it will be recognized by my aunt.
"Friend...... I don't remember Xuanxuan saying that she had you as a friend at school. My aunt looked at me with a wink, and then said, "Hey, Xuanxuan, this kid doesn't talk much, and he holds back everything in his heart, so he hides in his room when he gets home." ”
I wondered, how did my aunt know Xuanxuan so well, and what is their relationship?
"Okay, I'll go over there and have a look, you stay here, don't run around. Sun Bald saw a lighted room in the hallway.
Judging from the location, it should be a storage room, I haven't been in the first few times, and I don't know who is inside?
Now that Sun Bald suddenly asked to go and see it, the curiosity in my heart was ignited again.
I reminded, "Bald man, are you sure you want to go in?" At that time, Xuanxuan told me that you must not go in. ”
Sun Bald walked forward: "Do you know what's inside?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know, but my instinct now tells me that it's better not to see it." ”
Sun Bald frowned slightly, and moved towards the storage room with broken steps.
"By the way, is the brocade box I gave you still there?" asked Sun Baldzi looking back.
I took out the brocade box and showed it to him, and Sun Bald nodded reassuringly.
Then Sun Bald took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms and pasted it on his chest, approaching the storage room step by step.
The cleaning aunt continued to bend over and mop the floor, making a sizzling sound, which was the sound of the mop rubbing against the ground.
I stood in the empty hallway, and the image of Xuanxuan came to mind.
The cleaning aunt muttered while mopping the floor: "I will retire in two years, so I won't be so tired in the future......"
I felt a little cold in my body, and I thought that being idle is also idle, so I might as well chat with my aunt.
"Auntie, you work very hard, you should ask the boss to give you a salary increase. ”
The aunt pouted and said viciously: "Hmph, don't you dare to raise your salary, it's good if you don't deduct the money." ”
I quipped: "Yes, all the bosses in the world are slamming the door, and it's too difficult to make money these days." ”
The aunt then let out a sigh: "Hey, some people make money just like picking it up on the street, like us, they just work hard to make money, and there is no way." ”
I looked at my aunt's rickety back, and my heart was sour.
Suddenly, I was stunned, my aunt's feet were off the ground, and she didn't seem to know it.
Is Auntie a ghost? Or did I look away, so I checked a few more times.
I slowly looked down at my feet and was shocked to find myself floating in the air.
Just now, Sun Bald said that I only have one soul left, is it related to this reason, which caused me to be a little flustered.
If that's the case, then my aunt and I should be people of the same world, if she is a human, I am also a human, if she is a ghost, I am also a ghost.
In this way, I am not afraid, thinking to myself that everyone is a product of the same world anyway, and who can do anything to whom.
"Young man, is tomorrow the seventh day of the lunar calendar?" the aunt leaned the mop against the wall and counted with her fingers.
"Tomorrow the third day of the new year, do you have anything to do?" I pulled out my phone with no signal and looked at it.
A smile appeared at the corner of the aunt's mouth: "The seventh day of the new year is my daughter's birthday, I have to get off work early and make her my favorite braised fish." ”
My heart trembled, my aunt still has a daughter?
As I pondered, there was a clattering sound in the storage room.
I hurried to the door, kneeling in the doorway and listening.
"We're not all the way, so it's best for you not to interfere in this matter. The old man's shrill voice came from inside the room.
"No, I have a natural situation to manage, let's talk about your conditions. This sentence sounded like what Sun Bald said, but the voice was a little different from before, as if it could hide something.
Suddenly, I felt my shoulders sink and felt a hand on it.
My heart tightened, and I slowly turned around to find Xuanxuan standing behind me with a smile.
"Xuanxuan, you ......" As soon as I spoke, I was gagged by Xuanxuan.
Xuanxuan stretched out her little hand and pulled me to the corner of the corridor, and then glanced at the cleaning aunt, looking scared.
"Are you alright? I asked with concern as I stroked Xuanxuan's hair.
Xuanxuan shook her head lightly and said with a guilty face: "I'm sorry, I hurt you." ”
"What are you sorry for? Obviously, you saved me, I should say that I am sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone in the hallway, that faceless woman didn't do anything to you. ”
I took Xuanxuan's little hand, and this time I didn't feel cold.
Xuanxuan explained with a face full of grievances: "No, you listen to me, in fact, I was originally ......"
"What?" I asked eagerly.
Xuanxuan stared not far away, stopped talking, I followed Xuanxuan's eyes, and what I saw was the face of the cleaning aunt, her face was blue and looked very scary.
I tried my best to keep myself calm, turned to my aunt and said, "Auntie, thank you for your help just now." ”
The aunt didn't reply, and there was no smile on her face, staring at Xuanxuan, and Xuanxuan simply lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her clothes with both hands repeatedly, seeing that she was very nervous.
Seeing this situation, I reached out and pulled Xuanxuan away from my aunt's sight, but Xuanxuan broke free from me and stood silently by my aunt's side.
At this moment, I was shocked that Xuanxuan looked very similar to my aunt, maybe I had overlooked this before.
I remembered that my aunt said just now that she had a daughter, could it be that it was Xuanxuan? It should be like this, otherwise my aunt would not have clashed with those men and women just now, didn't she just want Xuanxuan to get out as soon as possible? Only biological parents would be so selfless.
Bang......
A loud bang was heard.
I followed the prestige and saw Sun Bald standing at the door of the storeroom.
Sun Bald walked over here, and I greeted him, wanting him to help analyze the relationship between Xuanxuan and the cleaning aunt.
Sun Bald glared at me and wondered, "Why are you kid facing the wall alone?
Alone? Xuanxuan and the cleaning aunt next to you didn't see it?
I turned my head and was about to explain, but I found that Xuanxuan and the cleaning aunt were gone, and I was stunned and didn't know what to say.
