"What are you doing out there? Why don't you go into the house? ”

After seeing Chen Ge, the tiredness on his father's face dissipated a little, and he barely squeezed out a smile.

"Why did you get to the teacher's house yesterday? It's not good for people to be so troublesome. ”

The familiar nagging sound came, and the man didn't complain to Chen Ge about how hard he worked, nor did he ask Chen Ge what he wanted to do on the grounds of how hard he worked.

"Come in, come back, I'll cook for you."

"I can't go in." Chen Ge stood where he was, last night he searched part of the eastern and western districts of Liwan Town, and gave him two days to search almost the entire Liwan Town.

"What's wrong?" The man didn't expect that Chen Ge wouldn't want to go in even if he was standing at the door of the house, he also stopped: "This is our home, a place where you can comfort you when you feel tired and in a bad mood, I don't know what you're afraid of?" ”

Home is a very warm place in Chen Ge's memory, but it may not be like this in his heart, as soon as he enters the house, the night will come, and the sky will not light until he leaves home.

Chen Ge didn't know why Yu Jian had such an impression, although he didn't have a father, he had a mother who loved her very much.

Seeing that Chen Ge was still standing in place, the man didn't force it: "At least after I cook the meal, you come in and eat something." ”

He sighed softly and entered the kitchen, and it didn't take long for the sound of dishes and chopsticks falling from the room, and Chen Ge's father seemed to have fallen.

Instinctively stepping into the room, Chen Ge ran directly over, the man leaned against the wall, covering his stomach, and there were broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

"Medicine, medicine in your coat pocket."

Chen Ge hurriedly ran over and found a small bottle of medicine, the label on the bottle was torn off, and he couldn't tell what kind of medicine it was.

"I'll cook, you can go and get some rest." Chen Ge helped the man up, and Luo Ruoyu was lying at the kitchen door watching, his eyes full of worry.

After cooking, Chen Ge sent Luo Ruoyu back to his room, covered her with a quilt, and poured two cups of hot water into his father's bedroom.

Closing the door, Chen Ge put the water cup on the bedside table, brought a chair and sat next to his father's bed.

He grabbed his father's hand and looked at the weak, tired man on the bed.

In his impression, his father was a mysterious, cheerful, very interesting person, who knew a lot of things, and could solve any difficulties he encountered.

The tall back, always standing in front of him, sheltering himself from the wind and rain, he never imagined that one day that figure would be so weak and lying on the bed.

The pain coming from his abdomen made his body curl, and he hunched his back, as if he didn't want Chen Ge to see himself like this.

"For more than 20 years, we have never talked like this, life has pushed me forward, everything I am used to, until the day you leave, I know that my so-called independence is just a kind of independence in life skills." Many of the things Chen Ge said were buried in his heart and couldn't be told to others.

"What are you talking about?" The man's face was a little pale, he leaned on the pillow, hesitated for a long time, as if he wanted to say something to Chen Ge, but in the end he didn't say it, just casually made a joke: "Who did you learn to cook?" It tastes great. ”

"Maybe it's inherited genes." Chen Ge handed the hot water to his father: "What kind of medicine did you take just now?" ”

"Those who cure stomach problems are not in the way."

"It's better to treat it as soon as possible if you're sick, don't worry about it at home, I'll take care of Ruoyu."

The man in front of him is Chen Ge's own memory, and now he seems to be calming down and talking to his "father" in a special way.

The two chatted for a long time and solved all misunderstandings.

In the middle, Chen Ge was worried about the man's body and hoped that he would rest early, but the man stubbornly kept Chen Ge by his side, constantly explaining the responsibilities he should bear as the head of the family.

One of the things he said the most was, take care of yourself and take care of your sister.

When it was almost dawn, the rainstorm stopped, and Chen Ge walked to the door again, but before he could walk out of the door, there was a sound in his father's bedroom.

He hurried over and found the man sitting on the edge of the bed in full clothes, holding his stomach in one hand and rummaging through the drawer with the other.

"You're not going to work today." Chen Ge helped him find the medicine, and looked at the blue-black blood vessels on the back of his hand, it was not a disease, it was a curse, and Yu Jian was cursing Chen Ge's memory.

The increasingly weak father is because they are playing ghosts, and they should be ready to attack all the people Chen Ge loves deeply, so that Chen Ge can also experience despair.

Flipping through the comic book, Chen Ge tried to shout out the names one by one, and a small bloodshot appeared on the comic book.

"I need more time."

Let the man have a good rest at home, Chen Ge picked up his backpack and went to school.

When he entered the school gate, he didn't feel anything wrong, and the day was just like usual.

When I came to the classroom, many students had already arrived, some began to preview today's lesson, some were memorizing words, and some were hurrying to make up their homework.

Chen Ge sat down in his place, he glanced to the side, Du Ming lowered his head and was revising something, and his desk was close to Chen Ge's side where the homework of each subject was neatly arranged.

Du Ming didn't talk to Chen Ge, but the meaning he wanted to express was obvious - he needed to copy what he needed to take it himself.

Compared with Du Ming, who is still a child, Chen Ge is even a thousand-year-old fox. Immortal, he knew that Du Ming had been keeping an eye on himself.

What happened to this guy? Why didn't he talk to me all of a sudden? Could it be that he is the source of the rumors?

Although Du Ming in his memory is the kind of person who is more selfish, he never spreads rumors, he has no interest in rumors and gossip, and it is better to make more rolls if he has time to spread rumors.

Don't look at this little fat man's mouth is very broken, but he is a top student whose grades have never fallen out of the top ten in his age, he has very little entertainment time, and he is very self-disciplined.

Chen Ge didn't touch Du Ming's homework, took out his English textbook, and looked at it against his homework.

"Let's do the multiple-choice questions first, if only the pen fairy was there."

The third period in the morning was English class, and when Zhang Ya entered the classroom, many students in the class immediately began to exchange ears.

The rumors and malicious slander did not affect Zhang Ya's state, and she was still the same as usual.

In the fourth class, Chen Gezheng was listening to the class in a rare way, and suddenly received a phone call.

The caller was a colleague of his father's, who said that his father had suddenly fainted and was hospitalized, and asked him to hurry over.

As the eldest son in the family, Chen Ge gave a brief explanation to the teacher, and then hurriedly left the school and rushed to the hospital in Liwan Town.

Pushing open the door of the ward, Chen Ge's father was still in a coma: "Doctor, what disease does my father have?" ”

"We are checking, please sit outside and wait, don't affect the patient."

Chen Ge was kicked out of the ward by the doctor, and he stood on the bench outside the hospital, and ten minutes later there was another footstep in the corridor.

"Chen Ge, what did the doctor say?" Zhang Ya also rushed to the hospital, she knew Chen Ge's family situation, and she was Chen Ge's homeroom teacher, so she felt that she should come over at this time.

Seeing Zhang Ya coming, Chen Ge felt a little relieved: "I am examining, I estimate that with the medical level of the town hospital, even if it is found to be a disease, they will not be able to treat it." ”

Through the window on the ward, Chen Ge saw his father's black-blue arm, and the black particles that represented the curse had spread over a large area.

"If there's anything you need me to help with, just say it." Zhang Ya handed the lunch box in her hand to Chen Ge: "I don't have classes in the afternoon, you can go back first, I'll stay here, if something happens, I will inform you as soon as possible." ”

"I'd better stay here, I have a bad premonition." Chen Ge and Zhang Ya didn't go to school in the afternoon, and when it was about to get dark, Chen Ge's father woke up, and he was in a very bad state.

"Leave it to me at home, and you can take care of your illness." Chen Ge called out the name of the red high heels in his heart, but there was no response, but a very thin bloodshot appeared on the page where the red high heels were hiding in the comic book.

The employees were about to break free, Chen Ge held his father's hand, and few people could understand his mood at this time.

When all the red clothes appear, it is when the world is broken, he can return to reality, and at the same time he will lose everything he has now.

After dark, Chen Ge went home, and as soon as he entered the corridor, Luo Ruoyu, who heard footsteps, ran over and opened the door.

No matter how tired or uncomfortable you are, when you come home, the lights are on in the house and someone opens the door for you, which is the simplest kind of happiness.

"Brother, brother......"

"Dad is living outside these days and won't be back for a while, is it okay for my brother to cook for you?"

Luo Ruoyu didn't understand what hospitalization meant, she was just very happy to see Chen Ge.

Entering the house, Chen Ge cooked the meal and brought it to the table, but Luo Ruoyu did not eat it.

"What's wrong? Not to your liking? ”

"Where's Dad, Dad?" Luo Ruoyu hugged the bowl and wanted to wait for Chen Ge's father to come back and eat together.

"He's sick and he's going to be hospitalized and he'll be back in a few days." Chen Ge sat on the other side of the table, and the hut with only two people seemed a little deserted.

He was sitting where his father had been sitting, and perhaps this was how the two of them ate when he didn't come home before.

"Dad...... Luo Ruoyu held the bowl, still looking at Chen Ge with blank eyes, her repeated inquiries seemed to be about to cry.

Blind explanation could not appease Luo Ruoyu, Chen Ge dialed his father's phone and put the phone to Luo Ruoyu's ear.

Hearing her father's voice, the little girl became happy.

Chen Ge put his mobile phone on the table, and Luo Ruoyu finally started to eat.

Listening to his father's occasional cough on his mobile phone, Chen Ge didn't touch the food on the table, he looked at Luo Ruoyu silently and looked at the slightly deserted old house.

"The owner of this house is my father, and if one day he leaves, I will help him take care of everything. Come to think of it, this old house is just like the horror house in the western suburbs. It was only at this time that Chen Ge suddenly understood the meaning of Luo Ruoyu's existence in the world behind the door, Luo Ruoyu was the first ghost who accompanied him in Chen Ge's memory, this sister actually represents the family other than his parents, and represents the employees who can't be separated in Chen Ge's memory.

"In order to take care of Luo Ruoyu, I won't fall down easily."

After coaxing Luo Ruoyu to fall asleep at night, Chen Ge stayed in the house, as long as he pushed the door open, it would come the next day, in order to delay the time as much as possible, he didn't go anywhere.

There are more and more bloodshots in the comic book, and the rain outside the window is getting heavier.

After dawn, Chen Ge came to the school with his bag, and the strange eyes around him began to increase.

He didn't care about any of that, and rumors and verbal attacks alone couldn't make his mood fluctuate at all.

When he came to the classroom, Chen Ge found that Du Ming's condition was getting worse and worse, with dark circles on his face and chapped lips, and he always dared not look at Chen Ge's eyes.

Chen Ge still didn't copy Du Ming's homework, he knew that Du Ming seemed to have something hidden in his heart, and he would still talk to Du Ming during recess, but Du Ming's reaction was very strange, he seemed to have made up some kind of determination even to talk to Chen Ge.

"Did something happen to you?" Chen Ge didn't think that Du Ming would spread rumors, but he felt that Du Ming might know something.

After school at noon, Chen Ge first went to the hospital to buy good food for his father, and then sold two meals outside and brought them back to Luo Ruoyu.

He couldn't go home, so he gave Luo Ruoyu food at the door, the two brothers and sisters sat in the corridor, and Chen Ge told Luo Ruoyu a story while eating.

As the contact increased, Chen Ge became more sure that Luo Ruoyu's existence was actually referring to the haunted house employees, she was only willing to stay in the house at first, and would never take half a step, but with Chen Ge's help, she began to choose to contact with the outside world and breathe the air outside the house.

Watching Luo Ruoyu finish eating, Chen Ge returned to school, he would occasionally send a few messages to Zhang Ya, there was always a lot to talk about between the two, and they would never get bored.

When he returned home in the evening, Chen Ge began to teach Luo Ruoyu to tidy up the room, as well as some other basic life skills.

What ordinary people can easily do, it is very difficult for Luo Ruoyu, she can't control her body, she can't understand many words, and she needs to say it repeatedly.

I have been teaching for a long time, but I have not gained much, but even so, Chen Ge will continue to praise Luo Ruoyu.

Day and night alternated, such days passed for several days in a row, Chen Ge never closed his eyes, and his mental state seemed to have reached the limit.

On the morning of the ninth day after Chen Ge entered the world behind the door, a few pages of the comic book in his backpack were finally stained red with blood, and he finally got in touch with the employees.

"The final battle should begin."

Pushing open the door with his backpack, the gray sky pressed against his head, as if he could touch it with his hand.

Not only the school, but also the neighbors began to look at Chen Ge and Luo Ruoyu with the same eyes, and rumors have spread.

When I came to school, the first class of today was English, and Chen Ge was ready early.

Du Ming hadn't said a word to him in the past few days, and the little fat man who had a broken mouth became silent.

He no longer communicates with anyone, his face is getting worse and worse, as if he is seriously ill, his academic performance has also been affected, and he has regressed ten places in yesterday's small test.

"Need any help?" Chen Ge finished exploring Liwan Town in these nine days, although he didn't find Yu Jian, but through all kinds of clues, he had roughly guessed where Yu Jian was hiding.

The game actually started the moment he stepped into the afterworld.

Lying on the table, Du Ming accidentally showed the bruises under his long sleeves, and he looked even more tired than Chen Ge.

"Did your family beat you? Because of regression in academic performance? Chen Ge's voice was very small, but Du Ming could hear it clearly, he clenched his hands tightly, then slowly released them, and finally just buried his face in the textbook.

The morning class began, and only halfway through the first class, Chen Ge and the students in the class heard an argument in the hallway.

The voice seemed to be coming from the office, saying it was an argument, but it was actually more of a woman shouting a reprimand.

Hearing this voice, Du Ming's face deteriorated, and he looked very painful.

There is some self-blame, a little bit of shame, but more of an unspeakable emotion.

After staying up until the end of class, Chen Ge immediately carried his bag and prepared to go over, and when he left his seat, Du Ming suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry." After Du Ming finished speaking, he let go of his hand, Chen Ge had actually guessed a rough idea, he took a deep breath and ran out of the classroom.

The door of the office seemed to be locked, and Chen Ge pushed open the students who were lying on either side of the window, and looked inside through the window on the door.

Four parents of students were pointing at a female teacher and reprimanding them, their distorted faces spitting and magnifying.

Director Shi kept explaining and promised to deal with it seriously.

There was a lot of noise in the office, the students outside the office watched with relish, the onlookers were partying, only Chen Ge stared at the female teacher silently.

Unwarranted accusations, trumped-up charges, and outrageous rumors are spreading more and more.

Chen Ge wanted to take out the skull crusher and rush in, but he didn't do that, what could he do if this really happened in reality?

If it happened to a child his age, what could he do at this time?

In fact, he couldn't do anything but stand outside and watch, and any drastic move would make things worse.

"Has Yu Jian ever been so helpless?"

"Parasitized by the Underworld, he has even more terrifying abilities than me, he could have killed everyone in the house, but he didn't."

"The Fetus must have been constantly encouraging him to become an all-hating demon, but he went against the will of the Fetus, and it was at this moment that the disagreement between him and the Fetus should have culminated."

The students got together more and more, and the teacher in the office eventually compromised.

The office door was opened, and the parent at the front was a middle-aged woman who looked stern and had anger on her face.

When she walked out of the office, she happened to see Chen Ge, and her anger rushed to the top of her head at once, and she was about to have a seizure, when the female teacher who had been reprimanded by them before came over and stood between her and Chen Ge.

"Nothing has to do with students." The female teacher said very little, but her attitude was very resolute and she didn't give in a single step, which was completely different from her usual gentle appearance.

The woman scolded another ugly word, and then she was pulled away by the other parents, and several parents left the school accompanied by Director Shi.

"Go back to class, don't stand here and watch." The female teacher asked the students to leave, and she finally glanced at Chen Ge and said softly, "You should go back to class quickly." ”

"Talk at noon." Chen Ge said three words, and waited until the crowd dispersed before leaving next to the female teacher.

When he returned to the classroom, Du Ming was lying on the table pretending to be asleep.

"Du Ming, why did your mother come to school?"

Du Ming, who was lying on the table, did not speak, and could only hear his heavy breathing.

"She seems to have counted all the mistakes on Teacher Zhang, but in fact, I am the one who made the mistake." Chen Ge held the pen in his hand hard, and his voice slowly became louder.

"It's me who affects your learning, it's me who asks you to borrow homework, and it's still me who finds you every day to chat and delay your study."

"The whole grade is watching, and everyone is accusing Teacher Zhang, but it's clear that I'm the one who did the wrong!"

"Don't talk about it!" Du Ming finally opened his mouth, he was very emotional, and seemed to be even more sad than Chen Ge.

Seeing Du Ming like this, Chen Ge didn't want to continue to stimulate him, but just said the last sentence: "The two of us have poor popularity, neither of us has any friends, and only each other can chat in the whole class, in this way, you are actually my only friend." ”

Hearing Chen Ge's words, Du Ming was like asthma, particularly painful.
