Chapter 3: Concealment
It's late autumn, it's night, and I'm soaking wet, so it's no wonder it's not cold.
Chen Qinglang shrank and took out his mobile phone, but unfortunately it couldn't be pressed anymore. Shake it twice, and the water will flow down.
He stuffed his phone into his pocket without expression, spread out his left hand, and the two jade slips exuded a warm luster in the moonlight. Chen Qinglang was a little dazed, stared at it for a while, clenched his palms, and spread them out again, and the two jade slips were still lying quietly. He looked up at the sky, at the ground, and at his surroundings, and for a moment he couldn't tell what mood he was.
After putting the jade slip into his pocket, he touched his neck, and there was a red rope hanging around his neck, and on the red rope was a round jade, the round jade was white all over, and there was a red silk like blood fainting in the water.
I pinched my thigh, it hurt. It hurts to slap yourself. Pulling my hair, it still hurts. He looked left and right, kicked his foot, and slammed it into the wall of a flower bed.
"Whew-"
Chen Qinglang screamed miserably, holding his painful feet and jumping violently.
By the time the pain subsided, his face was covered in sweat.
"It's really ...... true"
The facts told him that there were really goblins and ghosts in this world, but after all, he had been an atheist for so many years, and it was difficult to accept it for a while.
After thinking about it for a moment, he decided to go back to sleep first. I don't know if it's because of the impact, or because there are some side effects of hooking the soul, but in short, I have a headache now.
Before leaving, he picked up the snapping turtle as well. Such a big turtle is an enemy of life and death, and it is really difficult to understand the hatred in his heart if he does not pull out his tendons and drink blood.
It was only when I walked out of the park that I remembered that I was here for a blind date today, and after so much time, I don't know what the blind date has become in a hurry. It's a pity that the phone is broken, and I can't make a phone call to tell me about the situation......
Walking through the park is the place of blind date, the distance is not far, Chen Qinglang thought about it and decided to go to the agreed place to see.
When I arrived at the place with the turtle in this way, I saw that there was not a single guest in the café, and there was a huge and magnificent space, only a few bartenders gathered at the bar to chat. The sudden appearance of a figure at the door startled them. Before they could come to their senses, the man turned and left.
"Neurotic ......"
"In the middle of the night, ......what are you walking around with a turtle?"
Several people who were frightened stroked their chests and complained.
Recently, most people in Puhai have been suspicious. People are scared and scared to death, and in this period, there is a greater probability of realization.
Chen Qinglang carried the snapping turtle and returned all the way.
The blind date partner is not there, and obviously can't wait to go home. His mind was so confused that he didn't bother to think about the consequences. With such a blank face, I quickly returned home.
Looking at the time, it was only eight o'clock, but it felt like a long time had passed. Chen Qinglang packed the snapping turtle in a plastic bag and threw it into the refrigerator. He took off his clothes, rushed down his body, and lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, he was woken up by a knock on the door.
I usually wake up early, I am dazed, sleepy-eyed, and angry. I was woken up today, but I opened my eyes wide at once, and the whole person was in good spirits, and I got up from the bed with a "whoosh". He called "coming", suddenly put on his slippers, came to the door, and reached out to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, the complaining voice of accumulated anger was like a pouring of water.
"Xiao Lang! What did I tell you yesterday, you are a boy, how can you be late for an appointment? If you are three or five minutes late, it is too disrespectful to be half an hour late, right? Did you go out last night? You dare to release pigeons from the girls I introduced to you, did you take me seriously?"
Good-looking women all have a common advantage, that is, whether they are crying or laughing or noisy, they are all the same good-looking and have a different style.
Jiang Shuqing stood at the door, carrying a white leather bag in his left hand, and his slender waist crossed in his right hand, with a face of hatred that iron could not be made of steel. The autumn breeze is frequent, and when her long hair flies, there will be a fragrance wafting away, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
The sunshine, the breeze, the fragrance, the beauty, it was really a superb early morning. Chen Qinglang felt a little dizzy, and there was a hint of luck. It's just that before he could appreciate this little luck, a high-decibel noise exploded in his ears.
Jiang Shuqing's scream shook Chen Qinglang's eardrums, her eyes were straight, she stared at the diagonal as if she couldn't move, her small mouth opened unprecedentedly wide, and even the bag she was carrying slipped to the ground. Chen Qinglang had never seen her so out of shape since he knew her, and he was also puzzled at this time, and his eyes looked at him.
"Ahh
After his eyes swept from his abdomen to the bottom, Chen Qinglang screamed, closed the door with a bang, and rushed to the wardrobe, regardless of whether it was suitable or not, he just quickly put the clothes on his body. In a short period of time, Chen Qinglang has wrapped himself tightly. He breathed a sigh of relief after turning around in front of the mirror several times to make sure that he was not exposed again.
His eyes looked at the closed door, and his heart was pounding. Chen Qinglang had never experienced this kind of embarrassing scene, and he was entangled for a while, not knowing how to face Jiang Shuqing next.
Just when he was in a hurry, a gentle knock on the door sounded, and Jiang Shuqing's gentle voice came: "Xiao Lang, are you dressed properly, open the door when you are ready." ”
There was a slight imperceptible tremor in his voice.
Chen Qinglang had no choice but to open the door.
When Jiang Shuqing's face reappeared, the aggressive momentum was gone, and he returned to his previous maturity and dignity. She glanced at Chen Qinglang, gently pushed him aside, and complained as she walked inside: "Such a big person, and he still sleeps with his bare ass." ”
Chen Qinglang closed the door embarrassedly, he didn't have the habit of sleeping naked, and he was very tired yesterday, so he didn't wear underwear...... As soon as he remembered what happened last night, he quickly reached out and touched his neck, and found that the round jade was still there.
It doesn't look like it was a dream last night.
His thoughts were chaotic again, hooking souls, yin gods, fox demons, and cultivating the Tao...... These things were tangled and entangled, and he couldn't help but frown. In this way, the anxiety and entanglement that came from what happened just now disappeared without a trace.
He pinched his eyebrows and turned to follow behind Jiang Shuqing.
Jiang Shuqing is tall, his legs are very slender, when he walks, his steps are neat, his beige windbreaker is fluttering, and he is very mature and chic. Despite something on his mind, Chen Qinglang was still attracted.
However, Jiang Shuqing's heart is certainly not as chic as it appears on the surface. She casually threw the bag to Chen Qinglang, took off her windbreaker naturally, folded it carefully in half, and put it on the back of the sofa in front of her, and put her two plain hands on the front and back hems of her clothes to make the clothes more flat and close. Then he combed his hair with his hands, and then walked to the sofa and sat down cross-legged.
These small movements are conducive to hiding panic and at the same time helping to stabilize emotions.
After Chen Qinglang found a place to hang the bag, he heard Jiang Shuqing calling him.
"Xiao Lang, come here. ”
"Oh. ”
Chen Qinglang walked across from her and sat down, and saw that her face was slightly red, and her charming eyes seemed to have been moistened by the tender dew on the stamens, and the nectar of the poplar branches was moist. He didn't dare to look at it more, so he got up and went to pour water for Jiang Shuqing. A casual glance at the clock on the wall revealed that it was just half past seven in the morning.
Chen Qinglang handed the water cup to Jiang Shuqing, and when he sat down, he said, "Senior sister, why did you come here so early?"
Jiang Shuqing took a sip of water, put the cup on the table, hugged his arms in front of him, and looked slightly sad: "Knowingly, if you hadn't released Pei Pei's pigeon yesterday and your mobile phone couldn't get through, I would have run to your pig's nest early in the morning?"
Chen Qinglang then remembered that today is Saturday, and according to the usual practice, Jiang Shuqing will sleep until more than ten o'clock today and tomorrow.
He didn't know how to explain what happened last night. He actually wanted to tell Jiang Shuqing excitedly, I am going to become a cultivator, I can live forever, I can go to heaven and earth, I am the Oriental version of Ultraman, the Chinese version of Superman, you can be my girlfriend...... It's a pity that this thing is too ridiculous, others won't believe it, and it will make people feel that they don't even care about telling a lie, and there is a perfunctory suspicion, which will only make people more angry.
It's still good, if unfortunately it's treated as mentally ill...... He suddenly remembered a movie called "Flying Over the Asylum", and his scalp couldn't help but tingle.
Jiang Shuqing saw Chen Qinglang hesitating, but he was silent and didn't speak, and immediately frowned: "You really didn't go out last night, right?"
Chen Qinglang hurriedly said: "When you go out, you must go out, but something happens in the middle." He suddenly remembered the wound on his face and quickly touched his face. But seeing that Jiang Shuqing didn't notice his abnormality, he was a little puzzled. If Jiang Shuqing saw the injury on his face, it was impossible not to ask.
Jiang Shuqing was a sharp-eyed person, but now his mind was a little confused, and he didn't notice Chen Qinglang's strangeness. After she took a sip of water, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Qinglang thought to himself that the zombie had not been encountered, but the ghost had encountered.
"It's not easy to talk about a little private matter...... Chen Qinglang still didn't know what to say after all, it was too perfect a lie, he couldn't make it up for a while, "The phone accidentally fell into the water and broke." In short, by the time the matter was resolved, the agreed time had passed, and that Zhang Peipei had already left, and I would come back. ”
After speaking, he hurriedly took the mobile phone on the bedside and handed it to Jiang Shuqing: "Senior sister, what I said is the truth, but I didn't lie to you." ”
Jiang Shuqing took the phone and checked it, shook it with his hand, and there were still water droplets splashing: "Why are you so careless...... But what exactly are you talking about?"
Chen Qinglang looked embarrassed: "It's really hard to say, senior sister, don't ask." ”
Jiang Shuqing smiled playfully: "Even I can't say it, I know all your embarrassing things." ”
"If it's suitable in the future, I'll naturally tell my senior sister. Chen Qinglang said stiffly.
In the past, he would take the initiative to tell Jiang Shuqing many things, even if it was inconvenient to say, as long as Jiang Shuqing wanted to know, he would pour it out very happily. Carefully calculated, this should be the first time he has hidden something from Jiang Shuqing.
Chen Qinglang thought to himself, he is also very helpless, others will not believe this matter, since he doesn't believe it, it is in vain, and it is okay to say it in vain, for fear of being regarded as perfunctory or deceived, it will really outweigh the losses.
But in fact, he was also a little weak-hearted, because he faintly found that he himself was actually not very happy to say what happened last night, even for Jiang Shuqing. But he didn't know where this mood came from, it was really strange...... Or maybe it has to do with human nature itself. Everyone has their own secrets, and some of these secrets are not impossible to tell others, but they are not willing to let others know, as if they have more than others.
In short, he couldn't say it clearly, and he couldn't think about it very clearly, so Chen Qinglang simply stopped thinking about it. Human nature is profound and complex, and I don't study psychology, so I can't think about it clearly......
But in this way, Jiang Shuqing is a little strange.
"I can't even say it...... It can't be a conscientious thing, is it?" she was a little unrelenting.
Chen Qinglang just shook his head and didn't say a word.
Jiang Shuqing raised her glass to drink water, and the water and glass twisted her face so that others couldn't see her expression clearly. When she put down the glass, she suddenly felt a little excited. simply expressed his intentions directly: "Since you didn't deliberately go, I have no reason to scold you again." But you have to apologize anyway for letting Pei Pei's pigeon go. If it's possible, maybe the two of you still have a chance...... In this way, I asked Pei Pei to go shopping for afternoon tea in the afternoon, and when the time comes, I will call you, and you will take the opportunity to apologize to her, and by the way, see if you are right. If you think it's suitable, and she doesn't dislike you, even if you release her pigeon once, with me in the middle of the circle, it will definitely be fine. ”
The matter of apologizing must go, Chen Qinglang nodded happily: "Okay, when the time comes, I will pay for the place you pick, and I should thank my senior sister for her kindness by the way, which can be regarded as a way to express my apology to Pei Pei." Am I going to do something else?"
Jiang Shuqing shook his head: "No need, Pei Pei doesn't like cumbersome things, as long as you are sincere enough, a cup of tea is enough." ”
Chen Qinglang said: "That's troublesome senior sister." ”
"What are the two of us talking about trouble?" Jiang Shuqing got up from the sofa, picked up the windbreaker, and began to put it on, "I'm going back to catch up on sleep, you should quickly wash up and do what you should do." ”
Chen Qinglang also quickly stood up: "Let's go, don't sit for a while, why don't you sleep with me directly." ”
"Your bed stinks so much that I don't sleep. Jiang Shuqing put on a windbreaker and walked directly to the door.
Chen Qinglang was no longer polite, took the bag and handed it to her, and sent her to the door.
Jiang Shuqing went out and said, "Okay, you can go back, your face has not been washed or brushed, it is too disfigured." ”
Chen Qinglang nodded and agreed, but still sent her to the elevator door, watched Jiang Shuqing enter the elevator, waved goodbye, and waited for the elevator door to close before closing the door and going back to the house.
As soon as he entered the house, Chen Qinglang went straight to the bathroom. In the mirror, his face was smooth and clean, without a trace of bruises.
It's like I didn't get beaten yesterday.
