Chapter Twenty-Eight: Hell and Instant Noodles
At noon on a summer day when the sun is shining, the noisy commercial street is full of people.
Some people looked curiously at the two men, one tall and one short, and from time to time they came out with low screams and the "click" sound of mobile phone photography.
And, whether it was hearing what Ji You said, or seeing Ji You planted in his arms again, Chongming's indifferent expression did not change at all.
But his gaze, uncontrollably, fell on his hands supporting the young man's body.
He didn't understand, there was an emotion that he had never felt before, and for a moment it occupied his reason.
Otherwise, the colonel, who does not like others to get close, should push away the young man's body as soon as possible, and it is enough to use only his arms to support him.
He didn't understand, what should this sentiment be called?
An impulse, as if to breathe out from the depths of the soul, but after all, it failed. So Chongming's first reaction was only to support the young man's body, so as not to let him fall to the ground and be injured.
There is no such person in his memory, and every time he meets, he feels more and more familiar.
- Familiar enough to arouse his real and strong murderous intent.
Moreover, this killing intent came inexplicably.
Ji You is not a ghost, not a demon, and should not be a ghost king, even the more special abilities can't be played stably. There was not the slightest reason to inspire his killing intent.
Chongming pondered for a long time, and then made a move that he would never have done before-
He squatted down, pulled Ji You behind his back, got up neatly, and walked back with his back.
The direction is Ji Yu's home.
As for the surrounding crowd, there were once again screams of unexplained excitement, which were not within his range of concern.
####
He was an outcast.
Many years ago, Ji You knew.
No matter how much he shouted, it was useless.
Is it 4 years old, or 5 years old. That day, he and a group of friends were at the door of the orphanage, playing like in the past, but he didn't expect that it would be the only and last carefree time.
That afternoon, he was chosen by the man and the woman to be taken away and became their adopted son, which was the first time he dared to believe that this kind of relationship between his family and his family existed, and for the first time he felt that he was also needed.
At the same time, however, it was the beginning of his nightmare.
Adoptive parents are like buying a humanoid pet, from keeping his presence fresh at first, then gradually cooling down, and then completely tired of it.
The adoptive father is usually punched and kicked, and the adoptive mother is a cowardly woman, but whenever she sees him, she becomes extremely mean, and every word she says seems to have a sword and a sword.
But every time he was beaten by his adoptive father, his adoptive mother would instantly return to her cowardly demeanor, secretly send him some bruising medicine in the middle of the night, and didn't speak, just threw it on his bedside and left.
So for a certain period of time, he even looked forward to his adoptive father's fat beating, so that when his adoptive mother secretly came to deliver medicine, he would feel a little warm and cared for.
But later, he gradually grew up, gradually resisted the beating, and gradually learned to resist his adoptive father, and since then, he has never waited for his adoptive mother, and there is no new medicine bottle next to the bed.
Finally, he stopped hoping and he was ready to flee, but before he knew it, he found that he had no chance at all, and the man who called him his adoptive father began to covet and harass him. There are fewer punches and kicks, but another hell is ushered in.
Finally, the man who attempted to harass him several times began to go crazy, and he happened to be seen by his adoptive mother who came home from work, and the topic of divorce and quarrels began to be staged every day. But then he overheard that things were even more terrible than he imagined-
"I've had enough! Every day I see him, I am terrified! You tell me the truth! At that time, I bought him in the orphanage, did you have a bad idea?! ”
"Don't tell me nonsense, what kind of bad idea do I have? Isn't that the face he looks like yet?! I look stupid every day, but I didn't expect that I could become a fox spirit as soon as I was excited...... I bought him because he was the cheapest! There are no missing arms or legs. What are you talking about, if you want to divorce, you can leave! ”
"You still give yourself the excuse that you can't control those two taels of meat?! Yes, he's cheap, but don't you know why he's cheap?! He could see the dirt! ”
When the adoptive mother said the last sentence, she was extremely emotional.
The man didn't think so, "What's wrong with being able to see ghosts, it's only you women who believe this kind of thing, why haven't I encountered a strange thing for so many years?" Fuss! ”
"That's your mind full of obscenity! You don't know, I walked to his door in the middle of the night by taking medicine, and I always heard strange sounds! But as soon as I pushed the door in...... Lying on the bed, except for him...... Nothing! It's a monster! ”
Later, the man and the woman quarreled again, and he couldn't listen to it at all.
I see, my adoptive mother just wanted to see if he could see ghosts as others said, so she came to give him medicine.
I see, at that time, he was selected by these two people to take home, not because of his personality or appearance, etc., but because he was the cheapest, and the reason why he was cheap was because he could see ghosts.
I see.
The last bit of warmth is also completely gone. In the years that followed, he fled frequently and was frequently recaptured, no matter how much he shouted, it was useless...... Until he met his uncle at the age of fifteen.
Therefore, he often tells people that he was brought up by his uncle since he was a child, but he is actually a lie.
But when he thought he was finally out of the clutches of the man and the woman, he stumbled into it by mistake on the night after three years.
At that time, after the woman appeared, she had a big fight with the man, and somehow, it instantly broke his nerves that had been suppressed for many years, and after a few crazy vomits, he got up suddenly, and he ran away desperately!
When I got home by instinct, I collapsed by the door, exhausted and exhausted. Leaning on the security door like that, I almost slept all night.
I got acquainted with Uncle Zhang next door, and it was also at that time -
"Woohoo! Woo...... Barking! ”
"Shh......h Rhubarb is good, don't make noise, I'll call him...... Hey, boy, it's not okay to sleep here, get up, go into the house and rest......"
In the haze, Ji You heard the voices of a man and a dog above.
It turned out to be the old man of the neighborhood, and after Uncle Zhang helped him up, he asked, "Where is the key?" I'll open the door and let you in. ”
Ji You, who just wanted to speak, couldn't make a sound, and thought that he should have the sequelae of stress reaction again, so he still shook his head a little weakly.
Uncle Zhang got himself into the house, and he didn't do the morning exercise and dog walking, but he closed the door and said:
"You always have the strength to change your clothes, right? Go take a shower, I can't cook, there are still two boxes of instant noodles left, can you eat? ”
Even Ji You, who had recovered a little of his spirit, couldn't speak, so he took out his mobile phone and typed: instant noodles? Can that thing be eaten? Uncle, are you going to eat instant noodles for the sick number?
At the same time, Ji You's face cooperated with a somewhat disgusted expression.
And this will, a person who dislikes Ji You even more...... No, dog, Shiba Inu rhubarb appeared. I saw Rhubarb yelling at him, putting on a contemptuous face emoji, and then came up and bit his clothes.
and even more disgusted to pull out. Because it accidentally got something he vomited on it last night.
Ji You: "......"
Okay, dog-sama, I can't go take a shower and change clothes?
The moment he got up slowly, he heard Uncle Zhang say with a smile:
"Actually, instant noodles are a very delicious thing, and when you are hungry, you will feel warm all over your body when you eat a hot box. It seems that anything unhappy can be eaten in the stomach, and when the gastric juice is digested together, it will be gone. ”
Ji You was stunned for a moment and looked back at Uncle Zhang.
- "How?" Would you like to try it? Both spicy and plain are available. ”
His heart ached, he suddenly laughed, and silently replied to Uncle Zhang:
- Okay.
Turning his head, his eyes were red.
Since then, Ji You seems to have become addicted to instant noodles.
Therefore, he often tells people that he likes to eat instant noodles a long time ago, which is also a lie.
