Chapter 38: The Dark Shadow at the Tip of the Tree
In the evening, when my father came home from work, he saw her sitting in the hall in a daze, and came up to ask her.
She hadn't eaten for a day, she didn't feel hungry, she put her hands on her cheeks, and looked at her father.....
"Dad~~~ Brother Hao next door doesn't seem to be right! Have you seen him? He's a little skinny now, his face is bloodless, and he doesn't look right. ”
"Skinny?"
Dad looked surprised, took off his dark blue security uniform, hung it on a hanger in the corner of the hall, and then came to her.
"Well, it's the kind of thinness that isn't very normal, it looks like a lost soul, and the whole person is ..... It's as if he has no spirit and has lost his soul. ”
This kind of thing, Bai Qingyun thinks it's best to discuss it with his father.
Although she was completely heartbroken to Ye Zihao.....
I once remembered when I was with Ye Zihao before, although Ye Zihao had no money at that time, he was handsome in the sunshine, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and when he laughed, it was like the bright sunshine in that winter.
"Lost souls?"
"Yes, it's like losing my soul! It's like the kind of person who has been taken by someone in a ghost movie, although he is talking to you, but his eyes are blank, like a puppet, which gives me the feeling. ”
Bai Qingyun thought back to Ye Zihao's appearance during the day, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Ye Zihao didn't seem to be right.
She sat in the courtyard for an afternoon this afternoon, and Ye Zihao's voice was basically absent. If this were in the past, with his impetuous temperament, it would definitely be babbling again.
Although Ye Zihao is rich now, blessed with famous brands all over his body, and he is also very fashionable, he doesn't seem to be the Ye Zihao he used to be.
"Have you eaten? Did the one next door trouble you? Now Dad goes to the supermarket to buy something to see the Yang sister, after all, you didn't do the right thing during the day. I'll go with my dad later! ”
This daughter of his, her temperament, Bai Fan has always known.
Well-behaved, kind and pure, even if the kid next door hurt her and suffered from depression for a while, she didn't seem to take it to heart.
On the contrary, after seeing that something was wrong with the kid next door, he was still here to care about him.
"Not hungry! Father..... Why don't you take me to something delicious!" I want to eat ice cream, and I want to eat the fried noodles from Youlong (a famous snack bar in Yangcheng) across the street, and I want to eat the sour radish in it. ”
Dad said he was going to the supermarket to buy something to go to Widow Yang's house, which aroused her desire to eat.
She hadn't eaten all day, and although she wasn't hungry, she panicked.
This feeling of not being hungry is really a bit abnormal for her!
"Okay, let's go!"
It's rare to go out with his daughter, Bai Fan agreed, and put the security uniform that had just been hung up on his body again.
I ate fried noodles with my dad outside, and bought two cups of strawberry-flavored milk tea, one cup per person, with my hand straddling my father's arm, looking at my dad frowning and drinking milk tea, Bai Qingyun felt very happy.
In the supermarket, I bought a bunch of health products with my dad. For them, it was the first time they heard that Widow Yang, who was as strong as a calf, had a heart attack, and they were quite surprised.
When they returned, their hands were full of things. When passing by the fruit store, my father also bought a huge fruit basket, saying that it was sincere.
Thinking of sincerity, Bai Qingyun went to a nearby bank to withdraw some cash, took a red package, and put it in the fruit basket together.
When the two of them stood in front of Widow Yang's house, it was almost nine o'clock.
The lights inside were bright, but silent.
Dad motioned for her to knock.....
I knocked lightly a few times, very lightly, and when I thought about whether to knock a few times, the door was opened.
Standing at the door was Lu Wei, she glanced at her and her father, first surprised, then at the big bags in their hands, took a step back, smiled and welcomed them warmly.....
"It's Uncle Bai and Sister Qingyun! Please come in, please come in.... Aunt Yang~~~ Brother Zihao~~~ Uncle Bai and Sister Qingyun are here! ”
As she shouted, she reached for the fruit basket in her father's hand.
In front of outsiders, my father has always been silent, refused Luwei's help, and quickly carried the things in his hand into the yard by himself.
And she, following closely behind her father, bypassed the photo wall, and her father, who had already put the things in his hand, had already come to pick her up.
"Big Brother Bai~~~ What is this for? So much..... Why are you so polite?! ”
Widow Yang came out and stood in front of the hall. Wearing the same leopard print pajamas during the day, the chest is so big that the buttons are not too buttoned.
"I'm sorry for my girl today, so I'll buy you some supplements. If you need a check-up, I'll take the time to accompany you to the hospital. ”
As far as the matter is concerned, my father got straight to the point, put the things in her hand in front of her house, and stood in front of Widow Yang, without any intention of entering the house.
Ye Zihao didn't come out, the hall was bright, and he didn't see him. And Lu Wei stood next to Widow Yang at this time, still smiling politely.
She glanced at Lu Wei faintly, not wanting to make a sound.
I really don't like Widow Yang, she is really selfish and greedy, and she is full of petty citizens.....
"I know your girl doesn't like me, Brother Bai, you're too polite, come in and have a cup of tea! Luwei, you go and help Uncle Bai and the Bai family girl make some tea, and by the way, take out the snacks you and Zihao bought abroad. ”
Seeing Bai Fan, Widow Yang was so happy that she flew up, walked to Bai Fan's side enthusiastically, and invited him into the house.
She likes Bai Fan the most, not only because of Bai Fan's sturdy figure, but also because of Bai Fan's taciturn housekeeping character. And one thing, Bai Fan is actually very good-looking, several times she found that Bai Fan's face seemed to glow, especially his eyes, which were gurgling, like the vast stars inside, as if they could speak.
She has liked him for so many years, and she has been despised and ignored for so many years, and she has become accustomed to all the various ways of getting along.
So no matter what Bai Fan does to her, she doesn't care!
I just feel that my neighbors have been able to see her neighbors for so many years, and she has no regrets.....
If they can live together, then this is what she dreams of the most!
"No need, my girl is angry with you! She put some money in that red envelope, which is also a little bit of her heart. It's not too early, we're back! ”
Bai Fan refused, took a step back, and after speaking, he took the hand of his daughter who had been silent beside him, and prepared to go back.
"Oops, it's okay! As long as I go to your house in the future, the Bai family girl doesn't drive me anymore..... As for what money is not money, it doesn't matter! Lu Wei, take back the things that Uncle Bai and the others brought over, and handle them gently. ”
As soon as she heard that she was rich, Widow Yang's eyes lit up. hurriedly asked Lu Wei, who was beside her, to help her carry things.....
And she and her dad are ready to go home.
Just as they were about to leave, Ye Zihao's voice came from behind them.....
"Mom~~~ Luwei is a pregnant person, is it too much for you to let her carry such a heavy thing! Moreover, you're fine, what are you doing with Uncle Bai's things? Uncle Bai, I'm sorry, we can't ask for these things. ”
Ye Zihao reproached Widow Yang as he spoke, stopping in front of her and her father, carrying the heaviest fruit basket in his hand.
Her red envelopes, thick red envelopes, are very conspicuous inside, among a bunch of expensive foreign water ghosts.
"Zihao, this is Qingyun is ignorant, uncle brought her to apologize, you take it, we can rest assured."
It is impossible to go back to the things that my father sent, I saw him glance at Ye Zihao, the light in his eyes moved, and after saying that, he took her out of the courtyard of Ye Zihao's house.
Behind her, Widow Yang was counting the fallen leaves.....
"Zihao, your Uncle Bai said that he would take his mother to check, and he didn't need their family to pay for it, just use the money in this fruit basket to check! In case your mother has three long and two short, it's not good for you....."
"Mom~~ I can earn money now, and you should have enough money to spend, so I'll give you a credit card, can you take it easy?"
Ye Zihao was a little helpless, his voice was still weak, and he didn't have the vigor that a young man should have.
Stepping into the courtyard, Bai Qingyun leaned on his father's arm.....
"Dad~~ Did you see that? Is there something wrong with Brother Hao, is he too thin and abnormal! ”
When my father looked at Ye Zihao just now, his eyes were clearly moving, so the first thing he did when he came back was to ask his father.
"Young couples will lose weight when they stay together! You don't think so much! Now that Zihao is a man with a wife, you don't want to get involved. Not everybody thinks like you....."
Dad shook his head, as if he didn't feel it, and turned his head to tell her, his tone was deep.
"Yes, yes, I just think it's strange, I suddenly lost so much weight, it's not right!"
Bai Qingyun was a little unconvinced and pouted.....
"The temperature is so low at night now, you don't have a coat on, you have to pay attention in the future, it's not good to catch a cold!"
With her, her father first turned on the lights in the courtyard, and then pushed open the door of the hall, and the lights turned on, and the hall was as bright as day, and she saw a black shadow flashing next to the shrine in the hall.
That black shadow is clearly a person!
"Ah~~~", hurriedly hid behind my father, and pointed to the shrine in the middle of the hall, so frightened that people almost trembled.
"What? Girl....."
Dad was puzzled.
"Over there..... There seemed to be a dark shadow flashing over there just now..... Father..... I used to be at my house..... In my house, I saw a ..... in a black gauze skirt Long haired female ghost ..... It's scary! ”
Seeing the black shadow, Bai Qingyun couldn't help but think of the female ghost she saw in the hall before, who didn't know if it was a hallucination.
"Girl~~~ Dad is here, do you think there will be?! More and more timid, now! ”
Dad couldn't help but laugh and touched her head.....
"Why, it's true! I really saw it before! ”
"It's okay, Daddy is here! Daddy is next to me, girl ....."
"Dad..... I don't think I've opened my eyes to hallucinate and see some strange things! However, I have a dad, hehe....."
Bai Qingyun blurted out these words, and she didn't know why these words were so natural at this time, after saying this, she let go of her father's arm and walked towards her bedroom.
And Bai Fan .....
Looking at Bai Qingyun's small and delicate figure disappearing from the side of the bedroom, he didn't make a sound for a long time, and then sighed lowly.
In the courtyard, the tall green peony tree seemed to understand this sigh and shook it gently. Under the illumination of the light, there are many shadows, as if with a heavy sadness.
In the old alley, it is quiet and serene.
And on the top of the old osmanthus tree, a wisp of white shadow with black fog is facing the direction of Bai Qingyun's bedroom, and the black resentment is pervasive.
