When day and night alternated, I deftly pinched the time and landed on the soft mattress. I remember when I was a child, I always liked to bounce on the mattress, because it could simulate the feeling of a trampoline, relying on a few springs to temporarily escape gravity.

Now that I think about it, it's so hard to get rid of gravity, just be a ghost.

I got out of bed, washed my face briefly, and then buried my head in the fridge and rummaged through the last bag of instant noodles. I'm about to run out of food, so I need to watch a few more palmists tonight, and try to go out for a quick snack tomorrow, at least with a chicken leg. I'm snorting while taking a kettle to boil water, I don't have any travel plans tonight, I'm ready to relax at home.

Suddenly, I heard someone knocking on the door, and when it was buttoned a few times, I rang the doorbell again. I put down the kettle in my hand and looked out through the cat's eye and saw a familiar face. Isn't this the little cop upstairs?

He's seen my masterpiece? He shouldn't have come to me, should he...... I muttered to myself, pretending that nothing had happened, and opened the door to him.

"Sorry to disturb you," he said, standing straight outside the door, wearing a police shirt, button-down soft epaulettes and a police horn. It looks like it's just been off work. "I was just about to cook and found that there was no salt in the house, so I wanted to ask if you had it. ”

I held back the twitching corners of my mouth, turned around and took out an unopened packet of edible salt from the cupboard and stuffed it into him. I haven't used this bag of salt since I bought it.

"Thank you, I'm so embarrassed to ......", he took the salt, and did not mean to leave, but looked like he wanted to say something, and Jun's face showed a trace of hesitation.

"What, is there anything else?"

"That...... I would also like to ask if there has ever been anything strange happening in your house, such as an unexplained ...... Things?" he struggled to ask the question.

"I don't know, what's wrong with your house, what's wrong?" I knew the advisor, and my eyes were full of concern from a neighbor.

"I came home today and found that there were traces of trespassing, the doors and windows were not damaged, but some things were in place. Has there ever been a burglary in this area, or has it ever happened in your family?" he sensed my concern, "If you've heard of or have had similar incidents, I'll report it to you tomorrow and we can file a case and investigate it." ”

Hey, that's not quite right, shouldn't you be scared if a murder map suddenly appears in your house that says "Save me"? Or are you interested in murder? Why do you want to deal with it so calmly as a burglary? It seems that I have to add a handful of firewood.

"You say this kind of thing, I've lived here longer than you, I've heard people say it before......" I pretended to look left and right, beckoned him to get closer to me, and deliberately lowered my voice like a gossip grandmother, "I heard that people have died in our building before, and they also said that the house you live in now has bad feng shui, and it is the only way for Yin soldiers to return to Yang." "The devil knows how the eighth floor became the way to go, anyway, I'm the best at talking nonsense.

He was visibly stunned for a moment when he heard my words, and then showed a very determined look. "Well, I'm sorry, I don't believe in these ghosts, I'm an atheist. He laughed, revealing a neat row of teeth.

"Don't believe me, if it's convenient for you, let me go to your house and have a look, I have read a little folklore before, maybe I can help you. "I'm a little anxious, worried that my wishful thinking will fail. The little policeman in front of him has starry eyebrows and sword eyes, a high nose bridge, and a strong yang energy, he must have never been invaded by ghosts and gods, and it is understandable not to believe this. "We're all neighbors, so if you can help, you have to help. ”

Li Lu didn't expect me to make such a request, so he hesitated for a moment, and his ears turned red. "I didn't ...... No problem, have you eaten, you didn't eat and come to my house to eat together, just thank you for lending me salt. ”

I looked back at the instant noodles on the table and nodded without hesitation. "Okay, okay, I'm better to be respectful. Wait for me a little bit, I'll put on a coat. Thinking that he was still wearing a small floral nightdress, it was inconvenient to go to the young man's house who lived alone, so he took a cream-white sweater cardigan from the side of the sofa and put it on the outside of the nightdress. I took the key from the entrance and signaled to Li Lu that he was ready.

We took the elevator up the stairs together, and neither of us spoke. When I got to the eighth floor, he took the key to open the door, and I followed him into the house. Li Lu changed his shoes, and then took out a new pair of flannel slippers from the cabinet in the entrance and put them on the ground, "You can change these slippers." I'll go cook first, and you can take a look. ”

"Okay", I won't tell him that I've already visited him today. "Do you need help, I can help you wash the vegetables, and I can beat eggs. ”

"No, you just sit. Or help me look at Feng Shui", he spoke softly, but I could hear the distrust of metaphysics in his tone, more like he was comforting me.

The sound of him chopping vegetables came from the kitchen, I sat on the sofa, played with my phone for a while, and the text message I sent to Guan Linlin today has not received a reply, and I don't know where she went. Soon there was the sound of cooking from the kitchen, and it smelled like curry, which was rich and fragrant. I followed the taste and saw that Li Lu was serving rice with an apron, and the curry potatoes in the pot were bubbling.

"Let's eat, I didn't expect you to be a guest, I only prepared curry rice. So saying, he put two large bowls on the table, each bowl was not full, and seemed to have split his own amount in two—I was a little embarrassed—and then he took out the curry from the pot and poured it over the rice in two as well. "I'm not good at cooking, it's okay to eat by myself. ”

"It's already great, it smells delicious", I noticed that he added potatoes, carrots and beef to his curry, which was already hearty for me. I sat down face to face with him, and the flavor of the curry blended perfectly into the ingredients, and the color was also attractive. In my mouth, the flavor of the mixture of spices and coconut milk swept over my taste buds, giving me a satisfying taste that I couldn't get with instant noodles.

It's so much money today. I was so immersed in the pleasure of food that I completely ignored Li Lu, who was sitting across from me. It wasn't until I put down my chopsticks that I realized that the man across from me was looking at me, and it seemed that he had been eating for a long time.

"Well, you're eating so fast", now it's my turn to be embarrassed.

"I'm usually busy with work and don't have time to eat, so I've practiced," he explained lightly, pointing to my masterpiece in front of the dining table, "That's it, I found this map when I got home, and the words on it were also extra today." What I didn't understand was why someone would have left the contents of this map and nothing else in mind if someone had infiltrated my house. ”

"If you don't understand, it's right", I took out a tissue to wipe my mouth, walked to the whiteboard, and started a new round of flickering, "Look at this map, deliberately pointed out the location of Fengbo Village, it is the providence of God that tells you that there are unjust souls here that need to be saved." I saw it as soon as I entered the door, and there is indeed a problem with the feng shui of your room, and with the elements of the floor, it is easy for the souls to gather. ”

Li Lu wandered his suspicious eyes from me to the pushpin, and then back to me. I knew he wouldn't believe it yet.

"I don't believe you can go and see, from here to Fengbo Village, it only takes an hour and twenty minutes to take the night bus, I will go to this place with you, there will be no mistake. I was so anxious that I blurted out the idea, and when I said it, I began to regret it - I was about to lose this relaxing night.
