Chapter 7 The Strange Book House

"Wait, are they going out together today?" The fat monk put down the half-bitten bun and said thoughtfully. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"They've been out together for days."

"Why are you saying now?"

"yes, why am I saying it now?"

The two fat duns woke up like a dream, and rushed out of the house at the fastest speed in their lives, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and when they rushed out of the building, they finally saw a scene they wanted to see in their dreams: Wu Xi sat in the co-pilot, and gently rested his head on Xu Xing's shoulder.

"No, I'm about to cry."

"I'm already crying."

Huiwen Primary School, the Municipal Public Security Bureau's lecture on strengthening the awareness of campus safety precautions is being held here.

"If a stranger approaches you, classmates, what should your first reaction be, can anyone tell me?" The tall policeman on the podium asked questions to the students below who were full of interest.

"It depends on whether he is handsome or not." The girl in the audience yawned listlessly and answered, and her answer made the venue burst into laughter.

"From this point of view, if you want to be a criminal in the future, you must be good-looking." The police were not angry, but laughed, and joked with her.

Wu Xi pointed the camera at the student who answered the call in the audience, it turned out to be her, no wonder the voice sounded so familiar, wasn't she the little girl she met at Songshan Cemetery last night. It was too dark last night to see her clearly, but now she looks like this, she is still very good-looking, with bright eyes, a well-behaved and sensible appearance, but there is a maturity in her words that does not match her age, which may have something to do with her experience. Wu Xi pressed the button and took a photo at her, the moment the shutter sounded, a white light suddenly flashed in her mind, she was so familiar, not her appearance, but some kind of indescribable feeling, as if she had appeared in her life at a certain moment. Wu Xi stared at her for a long time, until the little girl noticed that someone was staring at her and made a grimace in the direction of the camera, so she smiled helplessly and let go of the absurd and uninhibited thoughts in her head.

At the end of the interview, Wu Xi was about to go back to the unit to write a manuscript after saying goodbye to the person in charge of the school, she was walking on the boulevard of the school with a camera on her back, and suddenly felt that she was a few years younger. Just as she was about to adjust her normal pace to the way of walking like a jumping elementary school student, the corner of her eye swept to a figure carrying a schoolbag and a cat's waist out of the crack in the door. Wu Xi quickened his pace and walked out of the school gate, and flicked a finger on the head of the little girl who had just successfully "escaped from prison", "Where did you hear about the safety education just now?" You're going to sneak out of school by yourself again, right? What if you run into a bad guy? ”

The little girl rubbed her head and looked at Wu Xi, "Sister, what is a bad person, tell me?" Those relatives in my family all want to get custody of me, and today they are rushing to come to the school for a parent-teacher conference, just to show the school and the court. But you know what? They're just for the legacy that my mom and dad left behind, are they bad people? If so, then I'm avoiding the bad guys. ”

Wu Xi was once again blocked by her and speechless, "Then where are you going now?" You can't run around. ”

"Don't worry, I won't go to an Internet café or a nightclub, I'm going to a bookstore." She pointed to a quaint and elegant house not far ahead.

Wu Xi looked in the direction of her finger and saw a few words engraved on the wooden door plaque of the house: Strange Library.

"Reassured? Then I'm gone. The little girl ran towards the house.

"Wait, I don't know your name yet?" Wu Xi shouted after her.

At this moment, the door of the study house was opened, and a man poked his head out: "Koho, do you have curry or fried noodles at noon?" His hair was curly and he had a nice smile on his face.

"Old Wu, do you remember Qiao Mu? Uncle Arbor. When she arrived at the unit, Wu Xi didn't have time to put down the camera, so she called her father.

"How can you forget that when you were a child, you went to his house every day to play, and you died young, it's a pity."

"I remember that there were only two people in their house, him and his mother, but wasn't our family home for the Public Security Bureau? No one in their family works in your unit. ”

"They did move in later, as if they had rented a house from a colleague of mine."

"Dad, think about it carefully, was there anything wrong with Qiao Mu when he died?"

"Something is wrong?" There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, "That's not true, his entire funeral was organized by a few of our neighbors, and you know, that happened to him a few days after his mother died, it was so miserable, two people who depended on each other for their lives, just went one after the other." ”

"Depend on each other for life...... Wu Xi silently recited these words in her mouth, and her thoughts returned to ten years ago.

Qiao Mu's mother is very young, that is, in her forties, and the relationship between mother and son is very good, and they can often be seen shopping for vegetables together and drying clothes in the yard together, but the most common thing is to sit on the balcony and play chess together.

Once, when Wu Xi went to play with him, he heard a conversation between the two at the door.

"Qiao Mu, am I getting old, I always lose to you recently."

"Why, you still look as beautiful as when you were younger."

The woman smiled, and there was a bit of shyness in her voice, "Amuse me again." ”

At that time, she was still young, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with their tone, but now that she recalled it, it seemed to have a sense of ethereal and indescribable.

Dependent on each other, dependent on each other? Wu Xi repeated these words in her heart again, and a thought suddenly flashed in her heart, but she was quickly rejected by herself.

"Another person here in a daze."

"Director," Wu Xi looked at Cui Minghan with concern, "Have you had a follow-up visit recently, how did the doctor say about your recovery, and are there any sequelae?" ”

"Checked, it's fine." Cui Minghan looked at the vast world outside the window, and didn't look at the eyes of the people in front of him.

"That's good."

"Not good."

"What?"

"It's all right," he smiled at her, "I bless you, no, you." ”

"Director, you...... Got it all? ”

Cui Minghan patted Wu Xi's shoulder and turned away, leaving her with a free and easy back.

As soon as Wu Xi and Xu Xing entered the door, they were frightened by the battle at home, and the two monks were drunk, singing and shouting around them: "Xu Xing has a daughter-in-law, Xu Xing has a daughter-in-law." ”

Seeing this, Xu Xing didn't say a word, closed the door again, and pulled Wu Xi downstairs. Wu Xi followed behind him and laughed breathlessly, "Director Xu, it turns out that you also have weaknesses, seeing that the two of them escaped faster than rabbits." ”

Xu Xing opened the car door and pushed her into the back seat, "Escape?" I just want to be alone with you for a while. ”
