The neighborhood at night was much cooler than during the day, and Da Mao gasped for several breaths and finally calmed down.

"Why are you stuck in the elevator?" Seeing that he had been squatting on the ground, Chiba also squatted down, but Da Mao stood up, looked at her, and stopped talking.

She blinked and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I just saw the lights on in your house, and I thought there was a thief, so I wanted to go up and have a look."

"No, I just came back."

"I know." Da Mao said angrily. Although he deliberately gave a cold attitude recently, he actually didn't relax his attention to Chiba for a moment, and when he went out and when he returned, he was under his attention.

"Is the landlord coming...... That's not right, you should have called me in advance. Remembering the last time she saw Lu Meiqin driving out of the community, Chiba's first reaction was to think of her, "Are you mistaken?" ”

"I can't lie to you." Da Mao couldn't help but be a little annoyed, but because of the previous embarrassment, his arrogance was not high, "It was bright just now, I was not mistaken." ”

When I looked up, 1101 was pitch black, and Chiba became nervous.

"Don't scare me, is there really a thief? I'll go up and see ......."

"Let's go, I'll accompany you." Da Mao said and took out his baton from behind him.

Not daring to take the elevator, the two climbed up to the eleventh floor in one go, both exhausted and out of breath.

Chiba first checked the lock of the room, which was intact, and there was no trace of turning over the light after entering the door. Then she rushed into the bedroom and opened the trolley suitcase, all the items were there, and finally carefully inspected the other rooms, but there was nothing unusual.

"Scared the hell out of me, nothing out of the ordinary." She finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the couch.

Da Mao held the baton in his hand and pricked up his ears, but he still did not let his guard down.

"I haven't seen that room yet." He pointed to the locked bedroom and walked towards it.

"You don't need to look at that house, it's locked, there's nothing."

"Why are you locked?" Da Mao turned his head and asked in a tone similar to interrogation.

"The landlord locked it, saying that there was water seepage before, and he originally planned to decorate it, but he didn't have time."

"Is there a key, open." He walked back, but his tone changed from interrogation to order.

"I didn't have a key, I locked it when I moved in."

"What is that house for?"

"It's Song Yingchen's ......," Chiba blurted out, and then changed his words, "It's the landlord's son's bedroom." ”

Hearing Song Yingchen's name, Da Mao frowned and put away his baton.

"Well, since you don't think it's anything, then I'll go down."

"Da Mao, drink some water, I just have something to ask you." She left Da Mao behind, got up and walked towards the kitchen.

The water was handed over, and Da Mao gurgled and drank a fine drink, and the anxiety caused by being trapped in the elevator was relieved.

"Why have you been avoiding me lately?"

"Is there one? Not really. Da Mao looked around, not daring to look her eyes.

"I can feel that you used to be smiling and greeting me before you even approached. But lately, I've often kept a straight face, and it's clear that I'm deliberately avoiding me. Am I offending you somewhere? ”

"No, it's not...... Oh, my master criticized me for saying that I was not self-respecting, and I always wanted to get to know the rich man with the owner, and told me to be more conscious in the future. "Da Mao has something to say.

Chiba glared in disagreement.

"What are these words, regardless of whether what your master said is right or not, you can't put me in it. Am I a landlord, am I a rich man, you don't know what my situation is. ”

Da Mao was a little unreasonable but unwilling to admit it, and quibbled: "But after all, you live here." ”

"We're friends, what does it have to do with where we live?"

Da Mao touched his nose and rubbed his fingers, constantly covering up his crampedness with small movements, and muttered in a low voice: "You are more than my friend." ”

"What?"

"It's nothing, I mean, you have a good job now and a wide social circle, so there's no need to put too much thought into friends like me. I'm a little security guard, just nod when we meet. ”

"I don't know what you're thinking...... she heard the sourness in Da Mao's words, shook her head helplessly, and then took out a book from her bag, "Oh, I saw this book when I went to the bookstore, guess you must like it, give it." ”

Da Mao took it and found that it was a best-selling mystery novel he wanted to buy. He restrained his excitement, calmly looked at the price, and took the money out of his pocket.

"I'll give you the money."

"Whoever asks you for money, give it to you."

"Don't dare to be, and besides, the company doesn't allow us to accept the owner's things."

These words completely broke Chiba's patience and snatched the book back.

"What's wrong with you today, doesn't Grandma Wang next door often send you fruits to eat, it's so raw. The two of us are friends, don't be a mouthful. If you don't like this book, just give it back to me. ”

Seeing that she was angry, Da Mao dragged the book over again.

"Well, thank you...... If it's okay, I'll go down first. ”

Chiba was angry, only nodded slightly and did not answer.

Da Mao walked to the door and suddenly stopped, turned his head and said, "By the way, speaking of Grandma Wang, I saw her when I came up just now." ”

"Oh......"

"I was out of the elevator just when I heard her close the door."

"Where is she going so late?"

"It's not where I'm going, I've just come home."

"Didn't you say you heard her close the door, and if you want to go home, you can still see her when the door is closed?"

Da Mao seriously recalled the scene at that time, and patted his head: "Yes, why didn't I think of it, I said that something was wrong." She did open the door there hunched over, and when she saw me come up and say that she had just come home, she had entered the house before she could ask......"

Chiba became nervous when she heard this, her back straightened, and she looked at Da Mao firmly.

Da Mao continued: "I was thinking about you here, so I didn't think much about it, I knocked on 1101 first and didn't answer, so I just wanted to go down and guard the exit of the unit, and if there was a thief, I could catch it." Unexpectedly, the elevator suddenly broke down and trapped me for half an hour. ”

"She must have been going out, and when she heard someone going upstairs, she turned back and turned back."

Da Mao touched his head and suddenly realized.

"No wonder you said she was weird before, it seems that this Grandma Wang is really a little abnormal. What is she hiding, she is a thief, is she a thief? ”

Suddenly remembering that Grandma Wang secretly cried that night, Chiba felt that he should not speculate in private.

"Don't say that, she just doesn't want to say hello. The old man who lives alone is very pitiful, don't look at her living in a luxurious house, but her heart is very empty, and it is understandable that she is withdrawn. ”

"Every time I go in and out of the community, I take the initiative to greet me, sometimes I talk more than me, why are you suddenly lonely now?" Da Mao disagreed, and shook his head again and again.

"Maybe you're the exception, she didn't know it was you coming out of the elevator."

"But what are you doing when you go out so late, do you still have nightlife at your age?"

"Tsk, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes."

"Originally, I never saw her out of the community when I was on the night shift."

"It's always okay to go downstairs for a walk."

"No, I still think it's weird." Da Mao insisted that Grandma Wang had a problem, but he couldn't find a strong argument.

"Forget it, don't think about it, you can go back to work."

Da Mao blew his nose, realizing that the cold arrogance that he had easily set up was gone in a blink of an eye, and he was a little embarrassed. So he said in a lukewarm manner: "Well, you check and check again, and call the housekeeper center at any time if there is any situation." ”

"Okay, don't worry."

Pressing the novel to his chest, Da Mao left.

After he left, Chiba carefully inspected the house again, and finally saw nothing unusual, so he stopped thinking nonsense.

But when she sat on the sofa after taking a shower and wiping her hair, she found a footprint on the floor of the living room.

Squatting down and observing from different angles for a long time, she was still unsure whether it was an ordinary stain or a footprint, and although she kept saying "don't scare yourself" in her heart, she was still hit by a trace of weirdness.

Although there are no traces of turning in the house, there is a faint smell of entering the people. It's like there's a smell in the air, or there's a subtle change in an inconspicuous place that you can't easily notice but can feel.

For a long time, she sat there like a wooden man, carefully feeling the strange atmosphere, and feeling more and more terrifying. The silence of the night made her nerves both awake and sensitive, and ten minutes later, the indescribable terror struck, and she hurried back to her bedroom.

The door was locked, the chandelier and bed lamp were all turned on, and she took out the diary.

Something had to be written, partly to distract herself, and secondly, there were things she did need to say to herself.

"Spring has passed early, and the hot summer will say goodbye, but the scorching sun is still so gentle. I long for the wind, gently and gently, not too crazy, just brush the sweat away, if it blows sand into my eyes, it will not be good. I long for the rain, and the more it showers, the better, and only the pouring can extinguish the sprouts that should not be ignited.

People say that the fire is merciless, but I think it's warm and beautiful.

I often feel that God doesn't care for me much, but during this time it seems to have given me something new. Although it is not clear and unclear, it really exists. The things beckoned to me, I stepped forward, and they backed back. I turned around and left, and they followed, waving like a game, the poles of the magnet chasing each other.

This is fire, too far away is a glimmer, too close will burn yourself.

No, Yang Qianye, what the hell are you thinking, have you forgotten, idiot!

Closing the diary and closing her eyes, Song Yingchen's sleeping appearance was like a marquee spinning in her mind. Listening to his own breathing, like hearing his snort, a shy and irresistible illusion of becoming one, made Chiba feel for the first time that Dreamland was such a beautiful place.

The diary was faintly scented, and she felt as if she had smelled it somewhere, half-asleep and half-awake. It's violet, no. Roses, too.

It seems to be lavender.

She had no intention of distinguishing who the fragrance was, but she was willing to give herself to it......

At the same time, just next door, Grandma Wang was already crying. A heart-wrenching tearing feeling was being committed to her, mercilessly. She took out the phone and flipped out Lu Meiqin's number, but her fingers stayed on the "call" button for a long time and couldn't move.

After a long time, she made a decisive move to delete the number from the address book.

Yes, she can't wait any longer. As I get older, both physically and mentally I have reached a state of inadequacy.

She decided to take matters into her own hands.
