"Where are you going to find firewood and gasoline?" The car drove away from the outskirts of the city and drove towards the city, and I was on pins and needles in the co-pilot, and finally found a topic to talk to the silent Zhang Xingchen.

Zhang Xingchen didn't answer, I didn't look out the window, and sighed softly.

The street scene became more and more familiar, the traffic on the street was also increasing, and our car was driving slower and slower, and finally stopped, and I didn't know what was going on, and the road was full of water.

It took Zhang Xingchen a long time to speak, "There should be firewood in my old house." ”

"Do you still burn firewood at home?" I subconsciously asked rhetorically.

Zhang Xingchen glanced at me, leaned on the steering wheel with one hand, looked at the traffic jammed next to him boredly, and said without looking back: "My mother likes fireplaces." ”

I nodded knowingly, thinking that he didn't see me nodding either, so I accosted again: "That should be good firewood, wouldn't it be a pity?" After thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, and then asked him: "After so many years, can your firewood still be used?" ”

Zhang Xingchen turned back to me impatiently, and then said, "Lu Xiaochao, when did you talk so much?" ”

"Now, right now." I choked unceremoniously.

He didn't seem to expect me to be like this, looking at me a little weirdly, but he still didn't answer me, just turned on the music in the car irritably, Lin Yue's taste is really special, all of it is the kind of light music that reminds people of the white moonlight and gurgling water.

"What did Lin Yue tell you when he left?" Zhang Xingchen asked suddenly.

I was staring at the tail lights of the car in front of me in a daze, and when I heard him ask me, I didn't know where to start for a while, so I said perfunctorily: "It's nothing, just give me the car keys and let you drive carefully." Don't scratch it. ”

Zhang Xingchen was obviously not satisfied with this answer, his hands were lying on the steering wheel and looking lazy, he had really changed a lot, he had lost weight, and when he was lying on the steering wheel with his eyelashes hanging and thinking about the problem, his side face looked very good. His kind of good-looking is the kind that will make people have a desire for exclusivity.

For the first time, I confronted this slightly evil part of my heart about possessiveness.

Then his mind became a little confused, he was married, and there was a Qin Jiami beside him who thought about him everywhere, and I could never cross the thunder pool by half a step.

"Lin Yue must be thinking about something, I guessed correctly, right?" His tone was light, as if he didn't care what Lin Yue wanted to do to him.

"I don't know." I was deflated.

The car in front of him moved, and Zhang Xingchen just sat up straight and was about to step on the accelerator. The car in front of it stopped again.

Zhang Xingchen cursed in a low voice, simply leaned back on the back of the chair, pillowed his head with his hands, closed his eyes and said, "Call me if it's not blocked." ”

"If the traffic police come to check for drunk driving at this time, will you be caught?"

I saw that he wanted to sleep, and thought it was alcohol, but I didn't expect him to immediately open his eyes and stare at me. Then he said, "I've had that little beer, and it's been so long." Do you think you can still detect drunk driving? ”

"Oh."

"Lu Xiaochao, when did you become so stupid?" He simply stopped sleeping, and began to seriously consider my IQ.

I didn't look at him, I looked straight ahead, and said angrily, "I didn't say I was smart." ”

"Over the years, you have grown in addition to your age. There's really nothing else to brag about. Zhang Xingchen said, resting his hands on the back of his head again, staring at the immobile traffic in front of him, and sighed helplessly.

I wasn't poor with him, thinking about his surgery. Then he asked, "Are you all right?" ”

He turned his face to look at me and said, "It's okay, you know that organ transplants have to be taken for life, maybe one day, maybe I'll be poisoned by those drugs." ”

I was terrified when I heard it, and I knew in my heart that he wouldn't be like what he said, but I still couldn't help but be more serious: "Are those drugs poisonous?" Is it very strict? ”

He looked at me with a smirk and didn't answer.

"Zhang Xingchen, I ask you seriously!" I couldn't help but raise my voice.

Zhang Xingchen glanced at me, and then said loudly, "Finally moved!" ”

I realized that the car in front of me was already some distance away from us, Zhang Xingchen stepped on the accelerator with a relaxed face, and the car drove for more than ten minutes before arriving at Zhang Xingchen's previous house.

We got out of the car, and Zhang Xingchen rang the doorbell.

"Someone's home?" I asked in a low voice.

He looked at me and said, "My mom is home." ”

He said that his mother agreed to go back to the United States with him, and now that he is staying, it is only natural for his aunt to return to live here.

After ringing the doorbell for a while, no one came out to open the door, and Zhang Xingchen's expression was a little anxious and pressed it a few more times.

"Could it be that I'm out?" I asked.

He looked around, then took out his phone and dialed his mother's number, and after waiting for a while, his face darkened, and he looked at me and said, "No one answered." ”

"It's okay, maybe I went shopping, it's so noisy in the mall, maybe I didn't hear it." I couldn't help but comfort him and said, "Is there a mall nearby?" Let's find out. ”

Zhang Xingchen glanced at me, and suddenly took off his coat, before I could react, he draped his coat on me, and then said: "This side is close to the Li River, the river is windy, you wait here, if my mother comes back, you can call me, I will drive to the mall or park to find her, I will be back before 4 o'clock." ”

"Okay, you drive carefully, I'll wait here!" I smiled and said, trying to reassure him, he turned around and walked towards the car, and I couldn't help but tell him again: "You drive slowly and pay attention to safety." ”

"Okay, you too, call me if you have something." As he spoke, he opened the door and got into the car, which started and went away.

There was still his temperature and his unique smell on his coat, and I greedily tugged at the placket of my shirt and buried my face in it and took a deep breath, and then my chest was full of deathless happiness.

I have been here before, at that time, Qin Jiami was here to sue me, the person she liked was Zhang Xingchen, and the person she wanted to marry was also Zhang Xingchen.

It was also here that I didn't stick to my heart, and from here, Zhang Xingchen and I slowly separated.

Now we are back here together, but in an instant, we are separated.

I stood outside the door, in a low-walled courtyard, with a few laurel trees, their leaves still green, out of place in this cold early winter.

Zhang Xingchen's mother never came back, I waited in the yard for more than two hours, didn't wait for Zhang Xingchen's mother, and didn't wait for Zhang Xingchen to come back.

He said that he came back at 5 o'clock, I looked at my phone, it was almost 5 o'clock, the battery bar on the mobile phone screen flashed, and then, the phone automatically turned off.

"It's okay, when his mother comes back, you can call his phone, it's okay." I comforted myself, but it was getting dark.

The neighbor's house next to me was lit up with warm lights, and I squatted in the courtyard wrapped in Zhang Xingchen's coat, and my heart began to be occupied by a sense of fear.

Maybe he lied to me, his mother didn't live here at all, and then he deliberately threw me here, I had no money, my phone was out of battery, and I had to go to the neighbor next to me for help.

There are not many residents here, most of them had enough real estate here in the early years, developers have built several real estate projects in the city, there is no shortage of villas, and the traffic here is gradually blocked, and with the development of the economy, it is gradually depressed.

I squatted in the yard, my consciousness blurred from the cold, and I even imagined that maybe there was a pervert living next door, or like in the story, a strange old man living alone in a deserted village, and everyone who came to the door would be killed by him in the most cruel way......

The plot of the horror story became clear all of a sudden, but in an instant, I didn't even have the courage to stand up or move, and when it was dark, maybe I moved a little, and it alarmed the soul hidden in the darkness, and it would sigh, and it would even float to my ear and blow into my ear socket...... I was almost scared to death by my own imagination.

In this kind of residential area, even the street lights are stopped, there is a dead silence around, even the neighbors with the lights on do not make any sound, I clench my teeth, for fear that I will scream, I clutch my crutches, my eyes wide open in the darkness of nothingness, thinking, but whenever anything terrible appears, I can use the crutches in my hand to beat it away, I am not afraid at all, I still have weapons.

Zhang Xingchen is right, I need this crutch.

I don't know how long I waited, but when the lights in my neighbor's house went out, I felt like my whole body was stiff, and the sky started to drizzle at some point, and it was even darker, and I was freezing all over.

Maybe, I'm really going to die here.

Well, if someone finds my body here tomorrow morning, or in a few days, and where I went, and my mother there, so that I can stay with her, and she will not be so pitiful.

Little by little, my consciousness was withdrawn.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the yard, and then, the white fence of the fence was pushed open, in the dark, I felt someone walking towards me, stepping on the grass, making a slight rustling sound, I tried to listen to the footsteps, hoping that Zhang Xingchen would come back to pick me up, but there was only the pulsing sound of liquid in my ears, at this critical moment, I actually had tinnitus.

I screamed, and swung my crutches vigorously, but I didn't think my hands were numb, and the crutches flew out of my hands at once, and I heard a tired voice sound—

"Lu Xiaochao."

He's calling my name.

I cried out loud, in the dark, and wept aloud.

I reached out and groped for the corner of the man's coat, and he crouched down in front of me, and let me hold on to the corner of his coat, crying hoarsely and the sky and earth changed color.

"Lu Xiaochao." He called my name, and just like that, the horrible images disappeared from my mind, whether it was raining in the air, whether the night was cold and long, it was so worthless.

I threw myself into his arms, and he was cold, but I felt so warm. (To be continued......)
