Chapter 3 Who's True and Who Isn't?
Before going home, Shen Xing bought two bowls of wontons at the wonton shop on the street and packed them, first, he was also hungry, and secondly, Hong Bin's mental state was very poor, maybe he was hungry, but he didn't realize it.
Holding two bowls of packed wontons in his right hand, and holding the silent Hong Bin in his left hand, the two walked into the community.
The old-fashioned community where Shen Xing lives was rented a long time ago, with the same name as a famous university in his previous life, called Ivy League, and has a history of seventy years in Yungu City.
For example, the current location of Yungu City is called "Kuazhou", which has 20 large cities under its jurisdiction and more than 100 small and medium-sized cities, and Yungu City can be regarded as an intermediate city.
The old residential building looks dilapidated everywhere, but the quality of the building is very good, and it has only been renovated a few times, and it has not yet reached the point of being uninhabitable.
It is located in the old town of Yungu City, which used to be the most prosperous area in the city, even if the urban area is now renovated, it is no longer the city center, but the atmosphere of life in the market is still very strong, and the population volume ratio is large.
Unless the house is demolished, many of those who are old and have lived here for a long time are reluctant to move out.
There is no elevator in the building, and the highest is only the fifth floor, while Shen Xing's rental house is on the fourth floor.
Holding Hong Bin's hand, the two slowly climbed the stairs, because they were afraid that Hong Bin's body would not be able to bear it, so Shen Xing deliberately slowed down the speed of climbing the stairs.
When I came to the third floor, I happened to meet the neighbor on the third floor who had just eaten dinner and was about to go downstairs.
This is a mother and daughter, the mother is a single mother, named Lin Wanru, who takes care of her seven-year-old daughter alone.
This Lin Wanru has long wavy hair, is 1.7 meters tall, and has a plump figure, she usually meets a lot in the building, and Shen Xing and this mother and daughter are already very familiar.
Lin Wanru is often away from home, and sometimes Shen Xing will help her daughter buy some delicious food.
"Haven't eaten yet?" Glancing at the wontons that Shen Xing was holding in his hand, Lin Wanru said with a smile.
Her familiarity with Shen Xing was not as good as that of her daughter, and she glanced at Hong Bin, who was walking behind, and thought it was some relative of Shen Xing.
"yes, you're all ready to go for a walk." Shen Xing smiled.
"Fei Fei, call uncle." Lin Wanru reminded her daughter.
Fei Fei has fair skin, a small braid on the back of her head, a cartoon hairpin pinned on her head, and a red and white skirt, looking very well-behaved.
"Hello Uncle Shen! Hello grandpa! ”
Without waiting for her mother to remind her, she greeted Hong Bin at the same time.
"Fei Fei is good."
Shen Xing said with a smile, then looked at Hong Bin, and then threw an apologetic look at Lin Wanru.
Lin Wanru seemed to understand, glanced at Hong Bin, who was a little wooden, and felt that the other party might not be very sane, so she immediately took Fei Fei's hand and stood aside, and waited for Shen Xing and Hong Bin to go upstairs, and then the mother and daughter went downstairs.
Shen Xing's rental house is not large, one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, adding up to just over fifty square meters, except for the bedroom, which is slightly larger, the area of the other rooms is pitifully small.
There is a fabric sofa, a small coffee table and a water dispenser in the living room, and there is basically no extra space, and he rarely watches TV, so he doesn't think about buying it, as long as there is an Internet at home.
Let Hong Bin sit on the sofa, Shen Xing turned around and closed the door of the living room, checked it habitually, and then went to the kitchen to bring a spoon for eating wontons, opened the bowl wrapped in wontons for Hong Bin, put the spoon in, and gently pushed it in front of him.
"Uncle Hong, eat quickly. When he finishes eating the wontons, Hong Anjie may arrive. ”
When he held Hong Bin's hand just now, he deliberately felt it, the other party's body temperature was very normal, and he was completely an ordinary person, plus the previous speculation, now it has reduced the possibility of what the other party is.
Besides, it's still unknown whether there are ghosts in this world. And Shen Xing had already had a whim, thinking about whether this was similar to the overlapping situation of parallel spaces, perhaps, it was possible that the two Uncle Hong were real!
If it's not weird, then explain it from a scientific point of view, that's what he thinks at the moment.
While he was eating the wontons, Hong Bin, who was sitting next to him, also began to move the spoon, slowly putting the wontons into his mouth and chewing silently.
As the sun set, the room had begun to darken, Shen Xing got up and turned on the light in the living room, returned to the sofa and sat down, and continued to eat.
After a while, the mobile phone on the coffee table suddenly rang, and after picking it up and answering it, it was Hong Anjie calling.
"I'm almost there, what floor do you live on?" Hong Anjie asked.
"Fourth floor, come up from the staircase of the first unit, don't go up wrong." Shen Xing said: "Uncle Hong and I are eating. ”
Hung up the phone, and at this moment, the mobile phone screen showed the photo that Shen Xing opened just now, and in the photo was the appearance of another Hong Bin sitting at home.
Shen Xing didn't notice that Hong Bin, who was eating wontons at the moment, had stopped, and his eyes were fixed on the photo.
"Uncle Hong, you eat slowly."
Shen Xing picked up his mobile phone, got up and wrapped his dishes, threw them into the garbage basket, then pulled a tissue to wipe his mouth, and walked into his bedroom.
The furnishings of the bedroom are also very simple, with a large bed, a carved workbench, a wardrobe, and a wooden chair in front of the workbench, which can be said to have made the most of the space in the room.
At the front end of the workbench, there is a wood carving that Shen Xing is making recently, that is, a bust of Hong Bin.
This bust is not made in a one-to-one scale, but is reduced by a third to make it look exquisite.
The bust is now nearing completion and is ready to be waxed after the final carving has been completed.
Glancing at the bust, the wood carved face is at least ninety percent similar to Hong Bin sitting outside, and if it is refined a little more, the similarity will be improved.
At this moment, the mobile phone was about to run out of battery, Shen Xing came to the workbench, took off the mobile phone charging cable placed next to him, plugged it into the mobile phone, and when he turned around and was about to go out, his body suddenly shook violently and was startled.
In his sight, Hong Bin was already standing behind him at some point.
The old man's expression was still very blank, and his eyes were fixed on the bust statue of himself on the workbench, and he did not say a word.
Shen Xing patted his chest with palpitations, pointed to the wood carving and said, "Uncle Hong, this is a bust made for you, and I will send it to you when it is finished in a few days." ”
As soon as the words fell, he saw Hong Bin stretching out his hand expressionlessly, but instead of touching his statue, he grabbed his shoulder, with great strength, forcing Shen Xing's body to face him.
Shen Xing was startled, and quickly grabbed Hong Bin's arm, and exclaimed, "Uncle Hong, what are you doing here!" ”
Hong Bin's cheeks were no more than two fists away from him at the moment, his eyes were wide open, as if his eyeballs were about to bulge out, and his mouth was open, but he still didn't speak, but made a gurgling sound of water surging from his throat, like the sound of people choking on water in their throats after drowning.
Seeing this scene, Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted that Hong Anjie had mentioned this scene, saying that his father would also make this strange sound when there was no one around.
Then an ominous thought arose, perhaps, this Hong Bin in front of him is also fake!
Could it be that I guessed wrong? Hong Anjie's family is the real Hong Bin!?
didn't have time to think about it, the other party's strength was increasing rapidly at this moment, and his lips were opened, revealing a row of neat teeth, looking hideous, like a beast, biting Shen Xing's neck fiercely.
Shen Xing immediately bent his knees against Hong Bin's abdomen, making the other party unable to get completely close to him at a distance, and his legs slammed forward.
Crash!
Hong Bin stood unsteadily, fell back, his body touched the workbench, and the bust statue on the platform shook slightly, and then the heavy wood carving fell straight from the workbench, hitting Hong Bin's head.
After the dull crashing sound, there was a dead silence in the room.
At this moment, there was a knock outside the living room door, and Hong Anjie's voice sounded: "Shen Xing, Shen Xing?" Open the door ......"
Shen Xing's heart was beating like a drum at the moment, sweating profusely, looking at Hong Bin who fell to the ground, his head had been broken, but it seemed that the blood had not flowed out for a while, and in those pair of wooden eyes, his eyes became sluggish again.
Shen Xing slowly straightened up, and while promising Hong Anjie, he quickly rushed to the living room.
When he came to the door of the living room, he twisted the door open, and Hong Anjie, who was standing outside the door, was surprised, and when he saw Shen Xing's appearance, he was surprised: "What happened?" ”
Shen Xing pointed in the direction of the bedroom: "That...... The man seemed to ...... It's not Uncle Hong. ”
Hong Anjie didn't know what he was talking about, so he walked in quickly, and then a voice came from inside the house: "Who are you talking about?" In this house...... No one? ”
"What?" Shen Xing was startled, and hurriedly rushed into the bedroom, looking down at the place where Hong Bin was lying just now.
The ground was empty except for the bust that was lying to the side.
