Chapter 9: The Dilemma

The man was dressed in a floral shirt, beach pants, and wore a thumb-thick glittering gold necklace around his neck.

He rushed behind Li Xiaoya, grabbed her hair and pressed her to the ground, then picked up a fan-like slap and kept greeting her in the face. In an instant, Li Xiaoya was beaten and screamed repeatedly, and her face was covered with blood.

"Stop"

Zhang Yi rushed forward, grabbed the hand of the man in the flower clothes at once, and then gently forced, and the man in the flower clothes flew out in response.

Zhang Yi didn't look at the man in flower, he immediately squatted down to check Li Xiaoya's injuries, and found that Li Xiaoya not only had red and bloody faces, but also had two rows of soybean-sized blood marks on the upper part of her chest, several of which were bleeding outward.

"I'll take you to the hospital" Zhang Yi was expressionless, he didn't ask Li Xiaoya what the reason was, why did this man in flower clothes beat her.

At this time, the man in flower clothes lying on the ground stood up with difficulty, his face showed a fierce light, and he took out a ten-centimeter bullet H knife from his pocket and walked fiercely towards Zhang Yi's back.

"Damn, dare to do it with Lao Tzu, I'll let you immediately have a few blood holes on your body now, and teach you how to be a person."

"Be careful, he has a knife in his hand" At this time, Zhang Yi faced Li Xiaoya and didn't see the situation behind him, but Li Xiaoya saw it, and she pushed Zhang Yi with her weak hand, prompting him that danger was approaching him.

Zhang Yi didn't move, and even the expression on his face didn't change. And when the man in the flower came close behind him and stuck a dagger in his back, he suddenly got up and reversed a kick, hitting the man in the chest with a kick.

The man in the flower coat drew a graceful parabola in the air and fell to the ground ten meters away. With a dull loud bang, a cloud of dust rose from the ground.

The man in the flower dress was lying on the ground with a hideous face, he struggled to prop up his upper body with his hands, opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly felt a salty smell welling up his throat, instantly felt his stomach churning, and spit it out, and the ground was blood-red in an instant.

Zhang Yi didn't look at the man in the flower dress from beginning to end, he silently picked up the very weak Li Xiaoya and walked into the distance.

Li Xiaoya was deceived by her neighbors to be a young lady in a nightclub in the city since she was 16 years old, and she went from a pure rural girl to the current Hongchen sister who only recognizes money in just one year, this year she cried, she resisted, and she even wanted to commit suicide.

But a year later, she was like a lotus floating on the sludge, and eventually she withered, fell into the sludge, and completely mixed with the sludge.

She had always remembered this long-ago memory, but she tried to keep it in the deepest part of her brain, not thinking about him, but it was still to no avail, and she still had everything in her mind.

But what's more funny is that the recent memory is very unclear, she doesn't even know how to marry Zhang Yi, maybe, maybe they met after drinking and made a mistake on impulse, maybe it was a promise after passion.

In his vague memory, memory has always told him that the man in front of him who is carrying her on his back is a timid and cowardly wife, but is it now, obviously not.

Li Xiaoya put her face on Zhang Yi's broad shoulders, she felt very safe and relieved for the first time, she closed her eyes comfortably.

In the infusion room, Li Xiaoya sat on a chair with her eyes slightly closed, and the liquid in the hanging bottle slowly flowed from the hose to her whole body drop by drop.

Zhang Yi sat next to him, looking at the TV hanging in the hall of the infusion room with a blank face, and a program was playing on the TV, the name of the program was "Running into Science".

This episode of the show is called "Horror Haunted House, Is There Really a Ghost?" ”。

It will be about an elderly man in the city who has terminal lung cancer and finds his whole body metastasized and paralyzed after he has exhausted all his money after a year of treatment. Eventually, his elderly wife, who grew old with him, brutally slashed at the old man with a knife, but then she hanged herself in her home.

Since then, however, many people in the house have heard terrible screams, even during the day, but the police have checked several times and found no one in the room, no living organism.

The first half of the show also interviewed many witnesses, and also showed a video of a guy wearing a Taoist robe who claimed to be a Yin Yang Great Immortal holding a peachwood sword into the house to exorcise evil spirits.

But the strange thing is that the Dao Robe Yin Yang Immortal staggered out less than a minute after entering, and one of his shoes was lost, and he ran barefoot in front of everyone onlookers, running without a trace under the sunset, not even leaving a word.

In the second half of the program, some experts took various instruments to measure inside and outside the house, and the last expert with a big belly wearing a flower shirt made a summary, he said that everyone should not believe in superstition, the strange sound of this house is actually not made by ghosts, after careful measurement by their expert team, it was found that it was the sound of the house, because the house was old and the hot moon was cold and shrunk, a very natural phenomenon, a very scientific phenomenon, no need to make a fuss.

Zhang Yi saw that the corners of his mouth rose and let out a faint smile.

Then a hostess took the microphone and made a summary at the front of the house, she said that it turned out to be a false alarm, so we still have to believe in science and not be suspicious.

At this moment, a black shadow of a bird in the video flew quickly and flew into the old house through the window, which was extremely fast.

But Zhang Yi cared about this inconspicuous picture, because he saw that the bird seemed to be somewhat familiar.

He immediately turned on his phone, searched for the video on the web, and paused the play while the bird was in the figure.

He took a screenshot of the picture and zoomed in on it, and his body shuddered, the bird on it was a starling bird, and it had a tuft of white feathers on its head.

How could it be so coincidental, Zhang Yi clearly remembered the last painting he saw in the studio, which was a white-headed starling bird, and the current one was exactly the same as his inexplicable painting.

What does this mean, it seems that the painting is leading him to find a bird, which may know a lot of things about him, and if he finds it, he may know a lot of things.

"Yes, that's it, it can't be so many coincidences together." Zhang Yi couldn't help but speak.

"What's like this?" Li Xiaoya opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Yi who was talking to herself suspiciously.

"Nothing, oh! Hang up, doctor."

late at night

A golden light shone through the glass window on the floor next to the bed, as if it had opened a hole in the night. The two men on the bed were lying on their sides, curled up with their backs to back.

They are Zhang Yi and Li Xiaoya, they are not sleeping at the moment, their eyes are wide open and they are looking at the roof motionlessly, as if they are thinking about something.

After a while, with the creak of the bed, Li Xiaoya turned around, and she poked Zhang Yi's back with her fingers.

Zhang Yi trembled all over, but soon regained his composure, he did not speak, nor did he turn around.

"If you want it, it's okay, I'm still your wife now, I don't take your money"

Zhang Yi didn't look back, nor did he speak, as if he was asleep.

Li Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, then moved her body forward a little, and gently put her body and face close to Zhang Yi's back, she felt the warmth emanating from Zhang Yi's body.

A moment of even breathing came from between her noses.

Zhang Yi still didn't move, he maintained that curled up posture as if his body was frozen, his eyes were hollow, looking at the dark night where the room was torn apart by yellow lights.

The image of the white-headed starling bird on the TV kept flying around his brain, and it seemed to greet him, beckoning him to hurry over.

In the end, Zhang Yi took a deep breath, and he made an important decision, that is, he was going to go to that haunted house and find the bald starling bird.

early morning

Li Xiaoya turned over, but found that the bed was empty, she looked for it but found that Zhang Yi was nowhere to be found.

She nervously stepped out of bed, looking around but did not see Zhang Yi's figure, and at this time, the mobile phone next to the bed made a buzzing vibrating sound.

Li Xiaoya picked up her mobile phone and saw that it was a text message, and the message had two lines of words.
