Chapter 11: The Leftover Mother

"Ahh

A shrill and piercing scream broke the calm of the side street, and the thick atmosphere of human smoke was shrouded in the fear of sudden arrival.

The owner of the wonton shop was splashed with blood, he hugged the bloody man and shouted heartbreakingly, and the fragrant clear soup pot turned into pomegranate juice...

Screams, gasping for air, and being frightened to the point of scolding.

There were more and more people around, some called the police, some called an ambulance, but none of them dared to approach.

"Don't eat, let's go..."The girl's voice was like a silver bell, and she calmly withdrew her gaze.

Su Ye on the other side was shocked, shivered, and looked at the blood splashes all over the room, "But... But..."

"Hurry up!"

The girl lowered her eyebrows, her clear eyes suddenly sank, and an invisible sense of oppression swept over. In the blink of an eye, it retreated completely, as if that moment of anger was just an illusion, and there was still an innocent face, and said with a smile:

"Don't go again... There will be dead people..."

She pointed to the bell that kept vibrating Su Ye's wrist.

Su Ye trembled, and without saying a word, he turned his head and plunged into the crowd.

Three minutes later, the ambulance arrived, and five minutes later, the police also came.

The technical department surveyed the scene and evacuated the onlookers, Qiao Gang sat in the police car, his forehead was covered with black lines, and he could guess from his haggard face that he hadn't slept a good night's sleep these days.

"Let the two of you stare at people, it's good, someone died under your nose, but you two are eating buns in the store next door? Yes? Rice bucket!! ”

The corners of Qiao Gang's mouth twitched.

"Captain... We have to go to dinner too..."Xiao Song said aggrievedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Shao touched his arm, winked, and shook his head gently.

"Eat? Can you eat with two people? Didn't you take a tracking class at the police academy? If you can do it, if you can't do it, get out of here! ”

After Qiao Gang finished speaking, he slammed the car door shut.

Xiao Song pursed his lips gloomily, and said pitifully: "Old Shao! You comment, yesterday downstairs at Su Ye's house, I didn't close my eyes one night, does he know? Why are the pots thrown on us! ”

"Okay, let's say a few words, you just graduated, Team Qiao has this temperament, it's good to get used to it, you will know after a long time of contact, others are still good."

After saying that, he pulled the door and prepared to get out of the car.

"Lao Shao, why are you going?"

"Report to Team Qiao about the situation in the past two days, in short, I didn't find anything suspicious about him when Su Ye went out in the morning, or what murder weapon he carried."

"Damn! Isn't this an unsolved case again? ”

On the street,

Su Ye and the girl walked side by side.

One lowered his head, his whole body was cold, and there seemed to be a dark cloud floating above his head.

One looked around, his face full of excitement.

Su Ye stopped, sat on the chair next to him, and covered his face with his hands.

"Tired?"

The girl jumped up, with two more big cones in her hand, she looked at the strawberry flavor in her right hand, and then at the vanilla flavor in her left hand, her slender willow eyebrows suddenly frowned, and her lips pouted, and her big eyes wandered left and right, revealing a tangled and distressed expression.

After a few seconds, she held out her right hand in pain,

"Wait!" The girl's eyes lit up, "Don't you like ice cream?" ”

Su Ye raised his head, how could he still be in the mood, waved his hand, and lowered his head again.

"Hey, that's great!"

The girl withdrew her little hand, licked her pink tongue left and right, and overflowed with a happy expression that only foodies have,

"It's delicious when it goes well!"

"Huh... You're still in the mood to eat. ”

"Or else?"

"Dead!"

"I see it." The girl replied lightly, as if what had happened had no effect on her.

Su Ye twitched the corner of his mouth, "You are really calm enough." ”

"Because I said I'd die!" The girl stood on tiptoe and sat next to Su Ye, revealing a jade-like calf, swaying leisurely.

"But you only said that I would die, someone harmed me, and it was the boss lady who didn't say that I died!"

"Because the bell is ringing!"

"Bells again?"

"It has a nice name, it's called the wedding mound."

"It's not good."

"Sounds good!" The girl raised her white neck and said with a little anger, "If it weren't for it, you would have been lying on the ground just now!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"The marrying mound is simple and straightforward, and it is a temporary graft of bad luck to others."

Su Ye got up suddenly, and said in a gaffe: "In other words, the damned person should be me, the boss lady was killed by me?!" ”

"Yes."

The girl nodded, "This bell can't deduce the murderer, and can only temporarily avoid bad luck." ”

Su Ye was dumbfounded.

"How... Still not convinced? The girl licked the cream from the corner of her mouth.

"Faith! I believe it! But the hostess is innocent! She can't because I'm —"

Su Ye clenched his fists, trembling all over, and a sense of guilt burned in his heart.

"How do you know the boss lady is fine?" The girl turned around Su Ye and said, "...... As soon as the wedding mound sounds, there will be calamity, and this catastrophe cannot be avoided. ”

"The catastrophe started because of me!"

"Are you so stupid, or do you just want to die?" The girl stopped, smiled lightly, stretched out her little hand, and hooked her fingers, "Fulfill you, give me back the bell." ”

"I don't!"

Su Ye put his hand in his pocket and said:

"I'm sorry, I've been in trouble lately, and like you said, someone is hurting me.

In just a few days, I experienced things that I could never have imagined in my life,

Spooky, thriller, terrifying,

I don't know how to describe my heart.

I'm a normal person, I'm scared, I'm timid,

I'm ashamed to say that until now I don't know who hurt me, although there is a suspicion, but things are far more troublesome than imagined.

I don't understand what you mean by the phrase that the boss lady has a problem in your mouth, but I need it, Marrytsuka.

At first, I thought you were just joking, and you didn't know anything. Now look, you're not your average child, to be exact... You don't look like a child. ”

The girl happened to be swallowing ice cream, and was choked by these words, and suddenly lowered her head and coughed, her little face was flushed, and it took a while to get out of her breath, and there was still a remnant on her face, and the red flutter was very good-looking. His eyes were stained with a layer of water because of coughing, his eyes were squinting at him, and after being wronged, he habitually pouted slightly, and said angrily:

"People are not children in the first place!"

"And... emmm, this mound must be near me to have an effect, otherwise it's just an ordinary pendant. ”

"That's ......"

Su Ye lowered his head in embarrassment and thought for a while, "Do you think this will work, I will come out for a while during the day every day, you will accompany me at that time, and I will be at home at other times." You just help me for this month, and I don't have any money for you, and after a month, I'll give you two months of hard labor for free, okay? ”

"Ahh......h

The little girl swallowed the last bite of ice cream with satisfaction, and slowly raised her head by the gentle sunshine, leaning forward slightly, a strand of hair came down from the corner, loosely on her shoulders, and modified her beautiful side face.

"You don't need to be a hard laborer for me, because... Sooner or later, you will die. ”

“......”

This time, Su Ye didn't listen to the girl's words anymore, he squatted down, the short girl was on the head, and raised a playful smile:

"With it, with you, I can't die... Hello, my name is Su Ye. ”

"Mmmm~~ Yes, it's polite this time." The girl showed eight neat white teeth, raised her hand and put it on Su Ye's shoulder, patted it like a big man, and said with a smile:

"Seven pupils."

By the river, the wind is slightly cool.

Su Ye couldn't help but stop, opened his arms, closed his eyes to eavesdrop on the secrets of the tide, and his irritability was miraculously cured.

Open your eyes,

The lights of the street are the most pleasing dyes, and the river is dyed dark velvet with a soft golden glow.

Convenience stores are crowded with people, and the small bell at the door can't be stopped.

The old neighborhoods around the corner have already set up barbecue pushes, and many people are sitting before it opens, and they are not in a hurry, chatting with each other.

He knows this boss, and he may be able to mix a few strings of waists.

I can't say why, Su Ye likes this kind of fireworks in the world very much, he just feels that every pore is ironed at this moment, they are no longer nervous, and they are carefree.

"Everything will pass."

He muttered to himself and walked home.

When I got home and saw a bunch of missed answers, I realized that I had missed the appointment, so I cheekily replied to Zhang Chi with a message, turned off the phone and fell on the bed...

As night falls,

Outside the community,

Back to the top of the mountain,

A girl in a purple dress is swinging, and the banyan tree "creaks" with the girl's swaying.

On the stone table next to it, there is a clear tea, surrounded by a faint tea smell, like the scenery under the Bodhi tree.

The only thing that broke this beautiful picture was that the girl was holding a spicy chicken wing in her hand, nibbling on a mouth full of oil, and a KFC bucket was placed at her feet.

The girl hummed a tune and stared at a building in the neighborhood, a window with a light on.

"Unexpectedly, there are still people in this community who are arrayed, and the technique is quite deep."

Fall,

Behind the girl, a dozen or so men in black looked at each other.

One of them stepped forward, clenched his fists and said, "That... Do you need to find out who set up this array? ”

"What's the hurry!" The girl glared back, "I don't see I haven't finished eating!" If you talk too much, go down the mountain and buy me another bucket! ”

“......”

The man in black wanted to cry without tears, "But... But now at this point..."

The girl puffed her fingers and glanced coldly: "If you can't buy it, I'll bake you." ”

Fall,

The man in black disappeared with a smoke.

"Huh... Why... Are chicken thighs so delicious? ”

The girl turned around, her slender jade hand drew circles in the air, and then suddenly pointed to a man in black in the crowd,

"You say!"

The man in black shuddered, for fear that he would say something wrong, and after thinking for a long time, his voice trembled: "Because... Because... It... It..."

"What's wrong with it?"

The girl had a bad look, got off the swing in an instant, climbed onto a boulder next door, squatted down, and sighed, "Forget it... You don't have to answer, I'm not in the mood today. ”

When the man in black heard this, he immediately shrank into the crowd and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ahem!"

Suddenly, two coughs came from ten paces away, and everyone looked at each other, and an old man in a black robe paced from the forest, he was hunched over, and the wrinkles on his face were crisscrossed.

Although the black robe on his body looked ordinary, there was a faint flow of light, and everywhere he went, it was illuminated by glowsticks.

Only coughed twice, but it was like a silent order, and when everyone saw this, they lined up with brushes, took off the black-brimmed hats on their heads, and hugged them around their chests.

The old man walked through the crowd, the light on his body shone on his faces, their faces, faintly reflected the golden light, and when he looked closely, he was actually crystal clear scales! Like a diamond version shining brightly, full of nobility!

The old man walked up to the girl, his eyes became a slit, and he looked at it suspiciously, until his eyes were fixed on the empty wrist, his cloudy eyes flashed with surprise, his pupils shrank in astonishment, and he slowly spit out in an ancient and vicissitudes of life:

"Our Lady, you are today... Did you find it? ”

The girl turned around and stuck out her tongue playfully: "Luck has always been so good. ”

"Hehe..."

The old man smiled bitterly, "I hope this doesn't die, although I pray like this every time, but hundreds of years have passed, and I still haven't found him." ”

"Who knows..."

The girl pouted, scratching at the moss on the stones, looking worried.

"By the way, why don't you rest in the store today?"

The old man smiled silently, looking at the lights under the mountain, the moonlight was falling, his face was loving and vicissitudes, his black hair when he was young had fallen like the first snow in winter, like the first frost of autumn, the roots of silver hair, half-covered and half-hidden, looming, wrinkles on his face, like a twist and turn of the past.

"Our Lady, I'm leaving."

"Oh? Where to? Traveling? ”

"Hehe..."The old man shook his head bitterly.

then

Ricketed at the waist,

Slowly turning around,

Facing the girl,

Back off

Back off

Back again,

It's three meters away,

And then

Get on your knees!

He reverently and laboriously pressed his head to the ground as hard as he could, and his voice trembled like a broken string:

"Thanks to Our Lady for so long, it's time for me to go."

Qi Tong looked at the old man blankly, the naughtiness at the corners of his mouth had not faded, but his brain had realized something, and his eyes were red.

She jumped lightly, like a purple butterfly landing silently in the air.

The beautiful eyes were gently closed, the hands were staggered to the waist, a refreshing fragrance came to the face, the weak delicate body leaned slightly, and the eyes opened again, only to see the pretty face like a jade carving, and a purple diamond-shaped mark faintly appeared in the center of the forehead:

"Nonsense! I won't allow you to go! ”

After speaking, he turned his head and shouted, "Why are you still stunned, come here!" ”

The man in black had never seen such a scene, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man.

"Go down first, I have something to say to Our Lady."

The old man waved his hand, looked down at Qi Tong, and his face was full of reluctance, "This is fate, not for Our Lady to decide."

How can I know you, in the era of war and chaos.

If it weren't for you, how could I live for hundreds of years, see the world hot and cold, and taste the vicissitudes of the world.

As a funerary object of the old times, I have enough books.

When I came, I deliberately went to Mr. Ma to calculate a hexagram, and it was a matter of these two hours.

Before leaving, I wanted to talk to Our Lady again.

You know what

When we met, I was two years younger than you,

I treat you as my best buddy,

Then, as I grew up, I regarded you as a sister who guarded my life.

And then as a daughter,

Became a granddaughter.

You are the Lady of God, but in my heart, you are a relative, a family member.

You don't know how many people like me have been sent away,

But you have not changed.

The loneliest person should be Our Lady,

Seven pupils, you.

You whispered to me that a curse keeps you stuck at this big, and memories are often erased for no reason.

So no matter how much you go through, the painful things will eventually disappear, and you will still be a child without troubles.

This kind of thing that others dream of has been played in you for thousands of years.

Virgin

I'm leaving

Say goodbye to you,

Don't send,

Don't weep,

Let me be alone and find a place I like. ”

Qi Pupil pursed his lips, his eyes twinkled with stars,

She opened her arms,

plunged into the old man's arms,

After all, I still didn't cry...

The old man closed his eyes peacefully, touched Qi Tong's head, and suddenly, the corners of his mouth "Huh",

"Wait!"

"Our Lady... You... Why did you suddenly grow taller?! ”
