This night, unexpectedly, I didn't have nightmares, not even dreams.

The sunlight poured in through the window, shining on the shadow of the person who was applying makeup, and a picture vaguely appeared in my mind, but I couldn't see it clearly.

Xiao Ting saw the person on the bed behind her move from the mirror, and said, "Are you awake?" Your high fever hasn't subsided, if you can't hold it, go hang the water for two days, I'll go open the door first, and call me if there's something. ”

"Hmm!" I replied dumbfoundedly.

"There is a newly opened breakfast shop when you go out and turn left at the gate, you can solve it yourself, I'm leaving!"

"Hmm!"

I watched Xiao Ting get up and go out of the door, continue to open her eyes, lie down, lie down, for most of the morning, just lay down.

Xue Chen stood next to a "Flower Express" sign. He didn't come to buy flowers, but this is the only place near here where you can see the gate of the opposite community and shade.

"Since this matter is in the ears of my wife, then bring her to see!" ――For this reason, Xue Chen's stop is two hours.

The clerk was a ten-year-old beautiful girl, and when she came out with a watering can for the third time to meet Xue Chen, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Handsome guy, are you waiting for your girlfriend?"

"It's not!"

The smile on the girl's face deepened a little: "I'm waiting for someone I like!" ”

Xue Chen smiled awkwardly and began to retreat.

"Hey~" The girl called softly, and when she saw the other party walking away, she walked into the flower shop in disappointment.

"What's wrong, Xiaowen?" A woman with an elegant temperament squatted next to a pile of flowers, glanced at the outside of the store, and said, "Is he gone?" ”

"Hmm!" The girl pouted, grimaced at the woman, and picked up the bouquet on the counter.

The clock on the wall shows the time: 10:13

I slammed my bag on my body and closed the door of Xiao Ting's house. I wanted to go to breakfast as she said, but as I walked, I wanted to go home, so I turned and crossed the street. The sun shone in the sky, and the coldness in my heart gradually dissipated. I was hesitant to take a taxi because I was haunted by what I had experienced last night, when suddenly a long shadow appeared on the ground, and I couldn't help but panic.

"Hey, are you okay?" Xue Chen was secretly glad that he hadn't left.

I looked up at the owner of the shadow, and said angrily, "It's you again!" ”

"Have I sinned against you?" Xue Chen asked innocently.

"Nope!" I walked straight forward, I would normally be happy to chat with such a sunny boy, but I really didn't have the heart to deal with anyone at this time, even if Wu Yanzu was standing in front of me

I don't feel it.

Xue Chen hesitated, turned around and followed.

It didn't take long for me to return to the scene of last night's crash, and my footsteps involuntarily stopped—the traffic here had long since returned to normal, and only the tire scratches on the road were still visible.

"Don't follow me anymore!" I felt like I was about to suffocate if I didn't breathe anymore, and I took a deep breath.

Xue Chen smiled awkwardly: "I'm on the same road!" ”

I ignored him, thinking that it would be good if someone followed, and God knows if I would have any more "hallucinations". With the sun above my head, I walked with him for a long, long time, until I stepped on the Yabai Road again, and Xue Chen suddenly asked, "Did you see anything here yesterday?" ”

I turned around, looked at him in amazement, and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you!" Xue Chen took two steps forward and stood still, trying his best to be sincere, "If you meet some...... Unbelievable, maybe someone can help you! ”

"Unbelievable?" My heart tightened, and I asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Xue Chen hesitated for a moment and replied, "My old lady used to be a psychic medium!" ”

Psychic?! The kind of person in the movie who specializes in communicating with the dead? If I had heard such an answer two days ago, I would have scoffed at him, and I might have seen him as a caregiver with bad intentions, but now I ......

I smiled, "I said you...... Do you think I'm in trouble? ”

"Maybe it's not that simple!" Xue Chen told the truth.

I retracted my smile and was silent, my intellect struggling—I would rather take it as an illusion than admit that there was such a terrible thing in reality!

Sunlight poured in through the thick branches of the cypress trees and poured onto the pavement, making it unbearably hot. Xue Chen didn't speak, and stood in front of me with his hands on his hips, casting a shadow. At this time, as the lunch break approached, the number of passers-by gradually increased, and an uncle passed by and smiled ambiguously at us. I lowered my head and struggled to spit out two words: "Okay! ”

This sentence was both a response to him and a rational declaration of defeat, and I raised my head to look at Xue Chen, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

Xue Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked to the side of the road to stop a rough car, looked at the person who was still standing on the side and asked, "You, are you still walking?" ”

I walked towards him with some embarrassment, only to notice that he was still wearing a white shirt today, but with long sleeves, and a large area of his back was soaked with sweat. I decided to believe him once because ...... I don't have a choice at this point!

The car stopped on the outskirts of the city, where there are still many old-fashioned houses. I followed Xue Chen to the door of a renovated courtyard house, and he stepped forward and knocked on the brass ring on the door. After a while, an old woman opened the door and greeted warmly: "Xiaochen, the sun is bright outside, come into the house!" ”

Xue Chen turned around and motioned for me to follow. I saw that the old woman was staring at me, thinking that she was the "medium", and her body stiffened unconsciously.

The old lady's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and the drooping facial muscles at her cheekbones trembled. After a while, the curtain of the door of the room was opened, and Xue Chen walked in with a girl.

The old woman didn't follow up, she buckled the door from the outside, and I was feeling puzzled, when Xue Chen beside me bent down respectfully and called: "Old lady!" ”

Only then did I notice that there was an old man with silver hair sitting on the bamboo chair in the room, who was looking at me with an inexplicable gaze.

The old lady raised her head slightly, a trace of majesty flashed between her eyebrows, and said lightly: "Child, give your bell to the old woman to see!" ”

I looked at her in amazement and asked, "Are you......?" How do you know I have a bell? I turned my gaze to Xue Chen, and then I understood, and replied, "Bell...... I threw it! ”

Xue Chen looked at the old lady in confusion, the bell had been thrown away with his own eyes.

"Thrown?" The old lady smiled contemptuously: "Silly boy, you can throw away that thing if you want to." She raised her hand and waved, and said in a helpless tone, "Look for ......."

Confused, I looked at Xue Chen, who shrugged his shoulders and motioned with his eyes for me to comply. I couldn't help but beat the drum in my heart and rummaged through my bag, and suddenly, I was stunned - that tattered bell was really ...... It's back!
