Suddenly, I stopped reading the words in my mouth and looked up in surprise, only to find that Lei was staring at me with wide eyes!

At this moment, a gust of wind blew suddenly from outside the house, whistling through the whining house, and another sound was faintly mixed in with the wind. I listened closely, and finally I heard: "Meow-meow-meow-" is a cat meow!

The voice came from afar, and it seemed to come from the mountain behind it. Listening to it from afar, the cat's voice seemed to be extremely poignant and tragic.

I suddenly felt a wave of fear, and a cold current rose from the soles of my feet, up against my skin and up to the ends of my hair, giving me goosebumps all over my body. Looking back at the two girls, they were already hugging each other in fright, but their eyes were fixed on the pen in my hand.

Pen! I hurriedly looked back, and the pen had already drawn a circle on the paper. A circle that couldn't be more round, a perfectly round circle.

I heard the voices of two girls trembling on the side: "Coming, coming......"

Lei was calmer than me, and he asked first, "Are you a pen fairy?" ”

The pen began to move slowly next to the first circle, and slowly, uncandidly drew a second circle, exactly the same size as the first circle!

However, I was still skeptical, and asked an experimental question in the mood of giving it a try: "Am I a woman?" ”

The pen scribbled on the paper, but there was no sign of a circle. So I asked again, "Was that a cat meowing?" ”

The pen slowly slid from the center of the paper to my left side. I felt the strength in Lei's hand suddenly loosen, as if he was guiding my hand to push out of a circle. But I don't know what thought made me give up cooperating with Lei, maybe I was afraid, right? I deliberately let go of my hand, no, it was the hands of two people who released at the same time, and the pen fell on the unfinished circle with a "click".

Lei and I each lit a cigarette, and I looked at him with suspicion, because I thought he was doing something wrong, pushing or guiding my hand in circles. But he kept staring at the paper on the table. The two perfectly round circles on the paper are illuminated by bright lights, mixed with the chaotic and clueless lines, which are very clear and eye-catching. The four of them were silent for a long time, and finally, Lei opened his mouth and said to me, "What do you think?" ”

I looked at him and didn't answer right away, because I didn't know how to answer and didn't dare to express my suspicions. Unexpectedly, Lei said: "Do you think I'm pushing your hand to draw circles?" Or am I deliberately relaxing to guide you to push my hand in circles? He flicked the ash of his cigarette and raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth.

I tossed and turned in bed that night. Even though Lei said exactly what I felt, I didn't fully believe him. Because it's also possible that he deliberately said those things after the play to make me believe him. But why would he do it? Scaring two girls? Or are you trying to scare me? Why? But if it's really not him, then ......

It wasn't until the next day that I was carrying two girls on my back that Lei's words completely dispelled my suspicions about him: "I know you doubt me, but think about it, I said in front of my girlfriend that I don't believe that there is a so-called pen fairy, and I don't believe that the pen will automatically draw circles. ”

"Yes," I nodded, "I shouldn't doubt you." ”

"It's okay, it's inevitable," he waved his hand, "and I actually doubted you, but you said those things in front of your girlfriend." I even thought it was a trap that the three of you had already discussed, and I was playing a joke on me. But it's unrealistic, I know you. Of course, it's possible that the three of us are talking about playing tricks on you, but do you think I'll still not admit it? ”

Not really. I know Lei, he's not such a friendless person. "Then those two circles ......"

"Those two circles are just a coincidence." Lei said confidently, "It is impossible for the hands of two people to be completely equal in strength, and if the power is unbalanced, the pen will walk by itself to animate the line, and the circle is just a special form of drawing the line, just a coincidence." Don't worry," he patted me on the shoulder, as if to see that my heart was palpitating, "I don't believe in any penny, or in any bad luck." That's the end of it. ”

"So, what about the cat's meow? The cat meow we had the first day we moved in was heard again last night. ”

"Wild cats in the mountains, nothing."

Although Lei's words are very reasonable and convincing, I still can't completely rule out the possibility of "pen fairy". Lei talked and laughed like a nobody, but never mentioned it again. The two girls don't care about themselves, they don't care, and they have the right to take what happened that day as a small stimulus to spice up their boring lives. It seems that the most timid person is me, and I am the only one who is still weak in my heart, always worried about the "bad luck" that Liz said. This is because the force that pushed my hand in circles and the terrible and terrible meow of the cat are so clear that they are deeply etched in my mind.

However, nothing special happened on the second day, nor on the third day. A week has passed like this, peacefully, or boringly. I came to believe Lei's reasoning and thought that was the end of the matter. But I don't know that things haven't really started yet.

After living for a while, the inadequacies of the house slowly became apparent. As I said earlier, it's a nice place with big trees. The corresponding disadvantage of this is that the shade is damp and there is a lack of sunlight. Laundry is always left to dry outside for several days, and it is not sun-dried but air-dried. So there's always an indescribable smell on the clothes. The other is that the toilet in the bathroom is broken, and it keeps leaking, and it keeps making a "bang" sound, so we have to turn off the faucet and open it again every time we use it. Mom, Dad, I seem to have talked about all of this on the phone, right?

That day was exactly a week after inviting the pen fairy. We were a group of four from a cara. Hall K is out, it's our newfound form of entertainment. So all four of them were in high spirits and had a lot of fun on this day. The four of them walked to the dimly lit underground parking lot with a smile and a chill greeted them. Li grabbed me and sneered at me, "Today is seven days after you summoned the ghosts. It is said that if you summon a powerful ghost, it will take seven days to appear. ”

"Really?"

"yes. I don't dare sleep with you tonight. ”

Next to her, Yuan also sneered: "Yes, yes, I'll sleep with Li tonight." Let you two perverts sleep together. ”

At this moment, Lei suddenly said "Huh". Following his gaze, I vaguely saw the figure of a cat, crouched on the hood of Lei's car. Two emerald green cat's eyes flickered in the dimness. As soon as he saw us, the cat disappeared into the darkness.

"What's wrong?" Leigh looked at me puzzled.

"Cats. A black cat squatted on Lei's car, just now. Don't you see? ”

"No? Are there cats? Leigh's eyes widened.

Lei and I glanced at each other, and I chuckled at his gaze.

"Are there cats? Do you see that? Leigh let go of her hand and turned back to Yuan. Yuan's eyes widened: "No, I didn't see anything." ”

"Didn't see anything? How can it be?! I exclaimed excitedly. The two girls were frightened by my appearance, and stood tightly together, holding hands.

At the end, Lei sighed, "Okay, okay," he looked into my eyes, "It's not a cat." We're scaring you. Then he threw the key to me and said, "I'm tired, you can open it for me." ”

There is no doubt that what Lei said was only to comfort the two girls, and it didn't have much effect. All four of them were silent along the way, and it was not until they almost arrived home that the atmosphere eased. Li and Yuan began to cooin in the back seat, and Lei and I also began to talk without a word. The eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, and seeing that the clock on the car is almost three o'clock, everyone is probably so sleepy that they even forget to be afraid.

Seeing that he had turned into the path of home, Lei, who was already napping with half-closed eyes, suddenly shouted: "Look! ”

About five meters in front of the car, there was a cat, pitch black, crouching in the middle of the road, with two turquoise eyes shining evil in the headlights. It was too late to brake, so I slammed the steering wheel to the left, and all the weight of the car plus inertia pressed on the right front tire, and the car began to slide sideways. A "ping-pong" sound came from under the car, suppressing the screams of the two girls behind. The right front tire has burst! I suddenly remembered the life-saving tips I had read in car magazines, and quickly slammed the steering wheel to the left, hoping that the inertia would slow down.

However, the speed was too fast, and the road was filled with damp dew, and the car began to spin. I gave up doing anything and just looked at the things that were circling and speeding by. I felt a tremendous force exert on me, I knew it was much stronger than me, and I couldn't resist it, so I had to resign myself to fate.

Maybe it was me who handled it correctly, and the car quickly stopped spinning, but still slid forward. Suddenly, the right side of the car was raised, and all four people in the car let out an exclamation in unison.

The right side of the car lifted forty or fifty degrees, and then the force was exhausted, and it suddenly fell back, making a muffled "bang", and finally stopped. I was gripping the steering wheel with both hands, sweating profusely. Lei is also sallow-faced and frightened. Rei and Yuan rushed out of the car and threw up on the side of the road.

After getting out of the car, I had a thousand thoughts in my head, one moment regretting why I was driving so fast, and the other feeling that it was a shame to have an accident while driving. However, I had no idea about the seriousness of the matter at all. But then again, it's not really a big deal at all. Compared to what happened later, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

Lei and I each lit a cigarette to calm our nerves. "See?" Lei asked. "See, a black cat. It feels like the one in the parking lot just now. I puffed out a puff of smoke.

"Did you see that this time?" After the two girls calmed down, Lei asked. But Rei and Yuan just stared wide-eyed. "Cat, black cat!" I growled, "It's all because of that damn cat standing in the middle of the road!" Why didn't you see it?! ”

"What are you murdering?" Li suddenly said loudly, "What kind of cat is it to blame if you can't drive yourself?" Where are the cats? Why didn't we see it? ”

"Alright, alright. The matter has passed, and all four people are intact and uninjured. Lei interrupted our argument and leaned over to check on the car. There was a one-foot-long tear on the left front tire, and on the edge of the tear you could clearly see similar burn marks due to the high temperature before the puncture. I crouched down and touched the hot tires, trying to say a few sorry words, but I didn't know what to say.

"What's going on? How so? ......" Lei buried his head in the tires and muttered to himself, I had to explain: "At that time, the cat was in front, and my first reaction could only be to avoid ......"

"Not this!" Lei interrupted, "I saw the cat too." But why do tires burst? ”

"It's too fast, it's too stressful......"

"Not true. Think about it. I remember when you were steering to the left, the full power of the car was on the right front tire. If you want to burst a tire, you should also burst the right front tire, why does the left front tire burst? ”

Oh, yes! How so? I was speechless. Suddenly, I remembered something that made me shudder. Lei also reacted suddenly, it seemed that at the same time we all thought of this matter, this extremely terrifying thing.

"Do you remember where the cat sat in the parking lot just now?"

I shuddered, "Like, above the left front tire." ”

"That's right. I also remember it was the left side near the antenna. ”

"What's left?" Yuan walked over, her face was slightly better than just now.

"The cat you didn't see in the underground parking lot just now......" I couldn't help choking when I said this, because I heard the terrible cat meow again: "Meow-meow-meow-" came from the thunder mountain behind me. Lei stared at me with wide eyes, and a bead of sweat the size of a bean slipped down his sideburns, and there was no doubt that he heard it. But Li and Yuan looked at a loss. Lei gave me a look and motioned for me not to tell the two girls anything more.

I had a vague premonition that disaster was coming, but I was absolutely powerless. The feeling is exactly the same as sitting in a runaway car. "Maybe it's because I've just been in a car accident." I consoled myself with this. However, this feeling has haunted me until now, when I narrate the incident. I don't know when I'll be able to get rid of it, maybe, never.

That night I was in a state of panic. I tossed and turned as gently as I could on the bed, for fear of waking up Leigh next to me. But in the end, I realized that she wasn't asleep either.

"What? Haven't slept yet? I asked.

"Yes, I can't sleep." She snorted softly, "I, I'm so scared. ”

"Afraid of what?"

"I don't know."

I snorted, and had nothing to say. Because I'm scared, too, and I don't know what to be afraid of. Finally I reached out and put my arms around her. "Don't be afraid, I'm here." She was obediently tired in my arms, but her hands and feet were cold. Finally, she said, "You are the one I am afraid of." ”

Surprisingly, nothing more happened that night, and not the next day. Everything seems to have calmed down, and it seems like another uneventful week. The next day, I accompanied Lei to change the tire, and on the way we discussed what happened the night before. In the end, we both agreed that it was a wild cat on the mountain. We were more glad that it happened late at night and there were no other vehicles and pedestrians on the road.
