"Uh, Iron Pillar?"

Although Xia Min's heart was full of doubts at the moment, there was no way to show it.

You can't say I'm catching ghosts, and that kid is a ghost, right?

"Yes, that kid's name is Tiezhu, what are you looking for him?" The security guard looked at Xia Min with a scrutinizing gaze, and then thought of something: "You can't be a human trafficker, right?" ”

"It's not..."Xia Min hurriedly explained: "The traffickers didn't go into the community to steal children, I saw him once two days ago, in the middle of the night, in the southern suburbs, but he disappeared all of a sudden, and I saw him here again today, isn't this curious, I want to see whose child this is, running around every day." ”

The security guard let out an "oh", nodded, and asked, "Why do you keep running to the suburbs?" ”

Xia Min felt powerless for a while, thought for a while, and explained: "I am a supernatural novelist, and I like to go out in the middle of the night to find inspiration. ”

"I was going to go to the southern suburbs that day, but I saw this kid in the wilderness and said a few words to him."

"I thought it was a nearby peasant kid, but he suddenly disappeared, and then I heard that there was no village in that area, so I was frightened, and I suspected that I had seen a ghost."

"It's easy to come back today and prepare to come out again to find inspiration, but I didn't expect to see this kid here, gritted my teeth and prepared to keep up, but I watched him come in here."

After speaking, Xia Min still looked like he was palpitating, and looked at the security guard with a little luck in a panic, as if to say: I am relieved to know that he is not a ghost.

After listening to Xia Min's statement, the security guard unexpectedly did not refute it, but nodded instead, as if agreeing with what Xia Min said.

"Well, that kid does have... It's not normal, how to say it, he always likes to run out in the middle of the night, and at night it seems like a different person, sometimes I meet him at the door and greet him and he ignores me. ”

"At first, I didn't let him out, after all, in the middle of the night, a small child is definitely not safe, but the next day his mother came to me and said that he would leave him alone in the future and let him out, so I let him out."

Xia Min noticed something unusual and interrupted, "Wait, you said he has a mother?" ”

The security guard looked strange: "Nonsense, who doesn't have a mother, such a small child would have been sent to an orphanage without a mother." ”

Xia Min reacted that in the eyes of these people, the spirit was an ordinary child, and he looked at them with the eyes of the spirit.

It is not normal for a spirit to have a mother, but it is not normal for a normal child to have a mother.

"It's fine." Xia Min looked embarrassed: "You continue." ”

"Anyway, you don't have to worry, that kid isn't a ghost, he just likes to run out in the middle of the night."

"Hmm... Have you seen him during the day? ”

"yes, his mother sends him to school early every morning, maybe third or fourth grade this year, right?"

"You said he was like a different person at night... What does that mean? ”

The security guard's eyebrows raised slightly, as if he was considering how to explain: "I don't know very well, it's just a feeling, he is quite lively and cheerful during the day, and he will call grandpa hello when he meets me, but at night, he doesn't even say hello." ”

"Anyway, it just feels weird, let alone you, sometimes I panic in the middle of the night when I watch such a child wandering around outside."

"Could this be some kind of disease? Didn't you bring your kids to see it? Xia Min looked a little concerned.

"Who said no, but I heard that all the doctors couldn't see the reason, and then the expert consultation said that this child had ADHD, and we didn't understand this, this child is quite famous in our country."

The security guard is also old and likes to nag, as soon as he opened his head, he continued to say: "You said that the people who live here are all from other places, either they have no money, or it doesn't matter, they work hard here, who is not difficult at home?" ”

"But the good thing is that the residents in this kind of place are always much more humane than in the big city, my son lives in Xicheng, and he worked hard for twenty or thirty years to buy a house, and the neighbors don't say a word all year round, and they don't want to ask me to live, so it's better to be a security guard here."

"There may be more than 100 families living here, not to mention that everyone knows each other, but they are all people who can say hello, isn't it better than in the city? It's just us, everyone is willing to help each other take care of each other, and in another place, the kid of Tiezhu should have been abducted by human traffickers a long time ago. ”

Xia Min looked back at the seven- and eight-story tube buildings that seemed to be quietly crowded together at this time, and he was also quite emotional.

"Come on, uncle, just know that the child is a normal person, and I will rest assured, I won't delay your rest much this night, I'll go first."

Xia Min smiled kindly, and was about to leave first, even if he had to go upstairs to see or collect information at night, it would definitely not be convenient.

The security guard nodded and sent Xia Min out of the door of the sunny apartment.

At the door, the security guard looked like he wanted to say something.

Xia Min smiled and said, "Uncle, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

The security guard looked a little worried: "You said that you are a supernatural author, I advise you not to look for any inspiration in the middle of the night, Ancheng has a history of hundreds or thousands of years, and you will always encounter unclean things after a long time." ”

Xia Min laughed twice as if he didn't believe it: "Haha, then I can't wait to meet something interesting, then the work I wrote must be extraordinary." ”

"Alas, young people just don't listen to persuasion, what's wrong with being young, I have to be an author, the author I know, especially what kind of online article I write, I don't know how much I starve to death."

The security guard shook his head with his hands behind his back and walked towards the security room, leaving Xia Min embarrassed.

"Hey, uncle." Xia Min moved his eyes and opened his mouth to stop the security guard who was about to enter the door.

"What else?" The security guard looked back with some confusion.

"What, I think this kid is good material, can I come back in two days during the day to find out about him?"

"That's it." The security guard nodded: "Come on, the neighbors here more or less know about him." ”

After Xia Min thanked the security guards, he walked towards the city while silently calculating.

There must be something wrong with this child called the Iron Pillar, there is no doubt about it.

But the question is, why is he visible?

Xia Min also quietly tested the security guard with a necklace, and there was no problem with an absolutely normal person, but he said that this child was not a ghost, and there was a mother, and he could still show up to go to school during the day.

That's outrageous.

Could it be that something is wrong with the necklace? It shouldn't be, it's strange enough for a child to run around alone in the middle of the night, and then it happens to look the same as the child outside the deserted village, happens to be guided by a necklace, and happens to be delirious and asks himself if he is surprised?

Although the clothes he wore were no longer the same, Xia Min recognized the smiling face that was beaten and turned to ashes.

So, what the fuck is a fucking surprise?
