Uninvited
Thanks to the wonderful sea just now, Yu Siqi, who had washed and changed into clean pajamas, could faintly smell the faint smell of seafood in his hair when lying in the warm quilt.
For the landlubber who has just learned to swim, his muscles are now a little sore, and his calves are even slightly cramped. So ignoring the smell problem, Yu Siqi quickly closed his eyelids that were about to be unable to open.
Although he was exhausted and his body was in desperate need of rest, he didn't sleep soundly this night.
The repeated shadows in his dreams reminded him of the black dome he didn't like, and the tide behind him brought him back to the terrifying sea. Although the sea surface is calm, in the face of the gradually rising sea level, Yu Siqi is still worried about whether a big pincer will suddenly burst out of the bottom of the sea and drag him into the sea.
The screen turns, walking on the familiar street, and the duty booth of apartment No. 23 is lit up. Security guard Lao Huang was sitting on his unpainted hardwood bench as usual and reading the newspaper, rusty chains swaying in the wind... Before Siqi could figure out why he was dreaming about this, the entire apartment 23 was surrounded by raging fire, and his five senses were stimulated by the sound of cries, screams, and the sound of the wooden building collapsing.
And just as he wanted to avoid it all, a pair of powerful arms suddenly pushed him into the fire.
Feeling the slight sting from the cold flames, he saw Gong Chen standing in the distance watching him indifferently as he was engulfed in flames, and then turned around and left.
Struggling to wake up from a nightmare was not an easy task, and a sweaty Yu Siqi was wearing his soaked pajamas as the bright sunlight shone into his bedroom. Judging by the intensity of the light, it's not too early.
After a slight change of dry clothes, Yu Siqi walked out of the room wearing a thick down jacket, but before he could close the zipper, he found that the atmosphere in the living room was not quite right.
A woman in a thick fur coat was sitting on the sofa in an extremely unelegant posture, with a dark black ring on the index finger of her right hand, and the stone set on it reminded Yu Siqi of the mirror stone he had seen yesterday.
When Yu Siqi was about to ask what was going on, Father An, who was sitting at the table, beckoned him over for dinner.
"Good afternoon, my good student." Father Ann stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon and said, "You don't look particularly good, and you have nightmares again?" β
"Yes, Father." Yu Siqi sat in a chair and asked in a whisper, "Who is that woman?" β
"Fenna, I used to be a student, but she's not as obedient as you." "Since she left here, she doesn't know what 'respect' is. β
"Then what is she doing here today, the smell of gunpowder is too strong." Yu Siqi whispered, "Are all your students like this?" β
"I suggest you ask yourself this question." Father Ann smiled and said, "Maybe you'll get a good answer." β
"Haven't you finished eating, Father?" The woman named Fenna asked impatiently, "I have to go to a banquet in the evening, and I don't have much time to waste in a place like yours." β
"I say, if you feel that this place is too shabby for your identity, you can leave." When Xie Baozhen walked past her with a plate, her expression was a little uncalm.
Putting the boiled noodles in front of Yu Siqi, he said gently: "When I ran out of eggs, I originally wanted to get a poached egg, but Ah Zhe has already gone to buy it, and I will add two more for you next time." β
"Thank you," Yu Siqi looked at Xie Baozhen's palms covered with a thick layer of gauze and said, "It doesn't matter if you have hands, right?" β
"It's okay," Xie Baozhen put his hand behind his back and said, "The priest is much more serious than me, don't you see he's okay!" β
"How dare you ignore me!" Fenna stood up, and the ring in her hand began to glow eerily.
"I won't let you go wild in my house!" Xie Baozhen had already taken out her precious white ball from her bag at some point, and the tension between the two made Yu Siqi almost choke on noodles.
"Ahem... Ahem..."
"Don't eat so hard next time, no one will grab it from you, eat slowly." Father Ann leaned over and touched Yu Siqi's back and said. "Well, the eggs were bought. Oh... You're awake... Oh... Hello, Fenna. Shi Yizhe held a bag of eggs in his left hand and a roast duck in his right hand and said: "There is a new roast duck shop on Chunfeng Road, and I thought it was cheap, so I bought one and came back." Half price, earned. β
"Put it in the kitchen," Xie Baozhen said, putting away the white ball and following Ah Zhe into the kitchen.
"You're in luck!" Fenna covered the ring with her hand, and soon the eerie glow disappeared. She sat back down on the couch, still in the same uninelegant position.
"It's almost time to rein in, Fenna." Father Ann put the bottom of the bowl back on the table and said lightly, "If it weren't for the past friendship, I might have taught you a lesson." β
"Alright, alright," said Fenna, "do you think I want to run to your?" If it weren't for your good deeds, why would I have come to such a place to suffer? β
"You lived here for three years, and you didn't say a bad word about this place at that time. Why, when you are used to enjoying outside, do you feel that you have been wronged? Fr. Ann said blandly, "Besides, what kind of things did we do to provoke a big man like you?" β
"You may have to ask yourself, Father Priest." Fenna waved her right hand, and the TV turned on automatically. She said in a bad manner: "Maybe you should take a good look at the news." β
"You know I've just gotten up, news...", Father Ann turned and noticed a news on the television that he was very familiar with:
According to the information released by the police in Xinsong overnight, a waterlogging incident suddenly broke out in Panshan Yixuan, located on the outskirts of Ningxian District, last night, and the specific situation is still under investigation. However, some well-informed people publicized that it may be because Panshan Yixuan has cut corners in the drainage construction, and some crustal changes have occurred in the underground river channel in the Ningxian area today, which has led to the incident of groundwater backflow, and the relevant departments have been instructed to let the construction party step up improvements.
Although some enthusiastic citizens have reported to this column that he once gave his personal opinion to an expert, the opinion pointed out that if it is really an underground river water gushing incident, as the expert said, then why the expert cannot explain the strange phenomenon that the water in front of his garage is salty.
However, after the relevant reporters in this column went to the field investigation, it was found that the citizen has a tendency to make radical remarks many times, and because of the frustration of both work and family, his mental pressure is too great, which has led to errors in dialectic, and now he has recovered his sanity under the treatment and comfort of relevant experts, I believe he will recover soon, let us bless him.
Alright, let's talk about the next one...
"Why, don't you want to say something with your eloquent mouth, my good master?" Fenna waved the TV off, looked lazily at Father Ann and said, "I guess you're smart enough to guess what I'm trying to do." β
"Of course, since something so big has happened, your people will definitely need to come forward." "I wonder if it was just a misunderstanding. Is there any evidence that I caused the riots in that place? And if you really want to arrest me, you alone won't be enough, I don't understand, do you? β
"Do you look down on my strength, or do you think you can always slip away like a loach? You know I'm going to send you to jail one day. Fenna said angrily, "You can't always get away." β
"Then I'm looking forward to your future performances, Fena. As your former teacher, how I wish I could teach you some of the most basic things, but now it seems... I failed. Father Ann said with a gloomy look in his eyes, "And the failure was very complete." β
"Then I can only say I'm sorry," Fenna got up and turned her head to Yu Siqi, who was drinking the soup, and said, "Maybe you can hide it from others with that little gesture, but you want to hide it from me... It's still a little naΓ―ve. Do you think you can accomplish your ridiculous ideal by finding a replacement? This little guy looks familiar, what's your name? β
"Now, get out of this house at once." For the first time, a look of anger crossed Father Ann's face.
"There's no need to be so angry," said Fenna, standing by the door with her hand in her pocket, "and I'll pick a suitable pair of handcuffs for you when I come back next time." β
"Wishful thinking," said Father Ann, slamming the door shut in front of Fenna, and then sat down on the couch and began to ponder, and no one dared to disturb him.
