Chapter 12: My House Is Cool
The place where the voice came from was the fifth floor, the floor where he had just left, and listening to the tone, it seemed that someone was in danger!
Xia Ren didn't dare to delay and quickly ran over.
Coincidentally, the place where the infected body appeared was next door to the ward where he had just pulled Ping Shiqing into.
Opening the door and seeing the scene in front of him, Xia Ren was stunned.
It's not that the scene is too bloody, it's that nothing happens at all.
"It's mom who is wrong, Xinxin is good, come, eat a piece of watermelon."
There were only two people in the room, a little girl who looked to be only four or five years old was lying on a hospital bed with her head wrapped in gauze, and another adult woman who was elegantly dressed and could not tell her age was holding a piece of sliced watermelon and putting it in her mouth.
Noticing that someone pushed the door in, the woman's hand stiffened and looked back.
"Who are you?"
Looking at each other, Xia Ren smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I heard someone screaming here just now, and I thought something was wrong." ”
He stretched out his head and looked around, there was nothing unusual in the room, and at the same time:
[The breath of the infected body disappears.] 】
"One step too late?"
"What are you muttering?"
The woman handed the watermelon to the little girl and stood up: "We don't need help, nothing has happened here, please leave quickly." ”
There is a problem.
Xia Ren narrowed his eyes, and his steps back were retracted.
The system couldn't have gone wrong, and since he had just been alerted to the presence of contaminants in the ward, it was absolutely impossible that nothing had happened as the woman had said.
"She was in such a hurry to drive me away, but she felt like she wanted to cover it up."
At this moment, the little girl wrapped in gauze on the bed held the watermelon in both hands, and said with a pout: "Mom, it's not delicious......
It turned out to be a mother and daughter.
Xia Ren noticed that just after her daughter said this, the face of the unusually young-looking mother in front of her changed.
He was keenly aware of a subtle change in the atmosphere in the room.
"Did you see that?"
She asked with a smile on her face, as if she were normal.
"See what?"
Xia Ren looked dazed, but his eyes moved to the little girl on the bed.
Does anyone think watermelon is not tasty?
Hearing this answer, the young mother was silent for a few seconds, and then remembered her daughter's complaint just now, turned around and put the watermelon she had bitten into on the bedside cabinet, touched her daughter's face at the same time, and said, "Xinxin is good, if it's not delicious, we won't eat it." ”
She was deliberately ignoring Xia Ren, and the meaning was obvious, you are not welcome here.
But the problem of the infected body was not clarified, and it was impossible for Xia Ren to leave like this. He was cheeky, stepped forward and said, "The little girl looks so cute. ”
"I think so too."
The young mother didn't look back: "It's just that you're not leaving yet?" Based on what you just said, I can tell the superintendent that you are suspected of being a copper fetter. ”
"Don't be so nervous." Xia Ren wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and continued: "I'm just a little curious, you should be in some trouble, why don't you tell me, I'm a good person, I love to help others solve difficulties when I have nothing to do." ”
"Why do you say that?"
The young mother finally turned around.
After thinking about it for a while, Xia Ren decided to take a risk: "I just rushed over when I heard your cry outside, so I want to ask ......."
"Is there something strange bothering you?"
"Who the hell are you?" The young mother's expression froze.
You guessed it.
Xia Ren stretched out his hand familiarly and said, "I just said, I'm a good person, by the way, get to know me, my name is Xia Ren, Xia of Summer, benevolent Ren." ”
After a little hesitation, the other party also stretched out his hand and shook him: "Sun Aihong." ”
Weak and boneless, the touch is quite good, but the time is inevitably too short, Xia Ren put away the small regret in his heart and said, "Can you tell me more about it now?" Maybe I'll be able to help you. ”
Sun Aihong lowered her head, still a little hesitant.
Xia Ren took the time to observe the ward, and saw that the window was open on a hot day.
"Did you just drop something?"
As he spoke, he walked past Sun Aihong and walked over in a few steps.
"It's my brother!"
Unexpectedly, the little girl on the hospital bed suddenly shouted: "Mom snatched my brother away and threw it down!" ”
No, it's so exciting.
Xia Ren looked down in surprise, but all he could see was a lawn, and a stone path in the lawn, and nothing else.
"Don't listen to the child, she's joking."
Sun Aihong immediately followed, and like Xia Ren, she stretched out her head to look down, but she couldn't see anything.
But for some reason, she became more nervous.
"No ......"
"What's missing?"
"Nothing."
Sun Aihong returned to the bedside with some anger and glared at her daughter: "Xinxin, how many times has my mother said that those who lie are bad children!" ”
The little girl pursed her lips tightly, and there was a glittering liquid in her eyes.
Seeing her daughter's appearance, Sun Aihong immediately softened: "Okay, okay, mom won't murder you." ”
She turned around and smiled apologetically at Xia Ren: "This is not the place to talk, let's go out first, don't disturb my daughter's rest." ”
Xia Renyou glanced downstairs and nodded in agreement.
The two closed the door and came to the corridor, Sun Aihong's expression was a little worried: "I suspect that Xinxin was entangled in something unclean." ”
Xia Ren's eyes lit up and he got to the point, but he still said: "There are no ghosts in this world, and there is a way to explain any phenomenon, but sometimes we don't know enough." ”
Sun Aihong did not refute him, but said: "You just said that you can help us, is it true?" ”
In order to be more credible, Xia Ren showed a smile that he thought was unfathomable, and said, "Of course. ”
Seeing that he squinted slightly, the corners of his mouth raised, and suddenly smiled very obscenely, Sun Aihong subconsciously turned sideways, covered the curve of her body, and smiled reluctantly: "That's okay, come with me." ”
"Where are you going?"
Xia Ren was a little surprised.
"Go to my house."
Sun Aihong didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with what she said: "My house is relatively quiet and cool. Don't you feel like it's too hot outside? ”
When it came to this, Xia Ren suddenly twisted: "Your husband saw it, he won't beat me, right?" I'm very weak, and I don't resist beatings very much. ”
"What do you think?"
Sun Aihong was not angry, and said instead: "My husband went on a business trip, and it will take half a month to come back." ”
"Without further ado, let's go now!" Xia Ren.
"......" Sun Aihong.
Out of the inpatient building, passing by the lawn, Xia Ren scanned the ground intentionally or unintentionally, trying to find some clues.
"Where the hell have you been......"
It was the first time he had encountered the disappearance of an infected body, and he didn't know what that meant.
A white cloud drifted by, the sunlight outside dimmed a little, and Xia Ren's back suddenly cooled, as if someone was staring at him viciously from behind.
He stopped, jerking back, searching for the source of his gaze.
The hoarse chirping of cicadas seemed to be far away, and outside a window on the fifth floor, which should be the ward they had just stayed in, a puppet leaned on the windowsill, as if it had been placed there at random, its head as if it had been broken, crooked at a strange angle, the corners of its bright red mouth grinning, and its eyes were indifferently watching their direction.
"What are you looking at?"
Sun Aihong wondered.
"Maybe it's dazzling."
Xia Ren casually perfunctory a word, shook her head, and the dull pain in her skull began again.
When I looked again, the windowsill was empty, and there were no dolls at all.
