As soon as I opened the door, I saw that it was the woman I had seen yesterday, she was wearing a black down jacket, not a trace of dust, and her hair was combed behind her head except for her bangs and tied with leather bands.

She clasped her hands in front of her, looking at Xie Rou who opened the door, a trace of joy appeared on her face full of urgency, and she said in a pleading tone, "Can you let me in and hide?" ”

Xie Rou didn't understand why she said this, and before she could ask, Xie Rou heard a heavy footstep in the stairwell, which grew louder and louder, and the urgency on the woman's face deepened with the voice.

"Please! My husband he's coming back! The woman folded her hands on her chest, her eyes full of pleading.

Xie Rou suddenly remembered herself in her previous life through her eyes, she was expressionless and did not speak, but she still turned sideways to make a way so that the woman could enter the house.

The woman looked at Xie Rou's movements, her face showing joy, and she shouted in a low voice, "Thank you, thank you." As she walked briskly into the house, as soon as the woman walked into the house, Xie Rou closed the door softly, so that no one could notice that she opened the door and closed it again.

She stood in the doorway, looking through the cat's eye in the hallway.

The woman watched her movements, and did not go into the house, but stood in front of their shoe closet, trembling and not knowing what she was afraid of.

Xie Rou watched a man with a wine bottle in the corridor come up, holding the railing with one hand and pouring wine into his mouth with the other.

After taking a sip of wine, the man took his sleeve and wiped it to the corner of his mouth like a mouthcloth, and then drunkenly staggered to the opposite door, his fat hand reaching into his pocket and groping for something.

Soon he pulled out a string of jingling keys.

He squinted, pinched a key and shoved it into the hole, missing the keyhole several times, and finally with a 'click' the man opened the door and entered the house. He took off his shoes, and without even closing the door, he stepped on his white socks and walked into the house.

Seeing this, Xie Rou retracted her gaze and looked at the woman.

As her mother said, the places on her body that may have scars are covered by clothes, and even if they don't, the woman covers them with others, such as a scarf.

Xie Rou looked at the scarf around the woman's neck and fell into a trance.

Xie Rou's gaze made the woman dodge for a moment, and Xie Rou looked at her and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She opened her lips and said, "Go sit down for a while, right?" ”

The woman didn't speak, only nodded.

Xie Rou took her to the living room, the two sat on the sofa, relatively speechless, Xie Rou thought about it, saw the TV in the dark, and thought of the TV that my mother watched last night, it seems to be a recent hit TV series, and women should like it.

She picked up the remote and turned on the TV and found the show.

The woman's gaze slowly moved to the TV, and Xie Rou entered the room in the middle and took out her mobile phone.

She sat on the sofa and looked at the woman from time to time, but she always tilted her head back and looked at the phone when the woman looked over.

She typed two words on her phone and looked at the woman again.

Time passed like this, until noon, Xie Rou went to the kitchen to wash rice and cook, the door next door was moved, the woman jumped down from the sofa with the tip of her ears, and walked quickly towards the door, she saw through the cat's eyes, watching the man walk out of the door with red ears and red steps, put her big hand on the door, and waved!

There was a 'dang' sound, and the door was slammed shut.

The woman had a happy smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth, which had been flat, turned up a little, but the woman did not open the door directly and walked out, but waited for more than ten minutes before tentatively opening the door and walking outside.

The woman was so happy that she forgot to say goodbye, so she closed the door and went back to her house.

Xie Rou sat on the sofa, and after a while, she smelled the fragrance wafting from the kitchen opposite.

It was very fragrant, but Xie Rou couldn't tell what it was.

Xie Rou glanced at the time and saw that Xie's father and Xie's mother were about to come back from work, so she slowly walked into the kitchen to stir-fry.

The last dish was brought out of the kitchen, and the door of the Xie family was opened.

Xie Rou looked over and saw Xie's father and Xie's mother standing at the door changing shoes, Xie's mother was still holding a plate of home-cooked side dishes in her hand, Xie Rou walked over quickly to catch it, smelling as if she had smelled it somewhere, Xie Rou looked at Xie's mother and asked, "Mom, where did you come from?" ”

Hearing Xie Rou's words, Xie's mother was also confused, and she said inexplicably: "It was given by the woman next door, saying what thank you to us." ”

"Yau Yau, what did you do at home today?" Mother Xie changed her shoes and asked nervously.

"Huh?" Xie Rou didn't react for a while, she looked at Xie's mother, and suddenly a light flashed in her mind, and she suddenly said, "Oh, she came to the house today to sit down." ”

Hearing this, Mother Xie breathed a sigh of relief, and she said with a pity on her face: "Rourou, you can't get involved in the affairs of the family next door, it's approaching the end of the year." It's okay to let her in and sit and hide from the man, but you can't see yourself and go up, you know? ”

"Yes, I see." Xie Rou said seriously with a smile on her face.

Mother Xie nodded with satisfaction, but she didn't see the glimmer of light that flashed in Xie Rou's eyes. Will she really obediently listen to Mother Xie and not care about the family next door?

......

At night, Xie Rou looked at the message replied by the intern of the law firm she contacted during the day, and a smile appeared on her face.

[Xie Rou: Thank you, senior brother, I will invite you to dinner when I return to the scene! 】

Senior brother quickly replied, [Senior brother: Okay! Wait for you, we haven't seen each other for a long time, when you come back, I'll call everyone, let's get together once, everyone says they miss you, after you left, we were all busy a lot, and no one helped us deal with affairs. 】

Xie Rou was looking at her brother's reply, a photo was sent by her brother, Xie Rou clicked on it and found that it was a funny group photo of everyone in the law firm.

Xie Rou sneered, replied to the senior brother that he found that the time was not early, said good night to the senior brother, put down the phone and went to sleep.

......

Another week had passed, and Xie Rou had never had contact with the woman next door, and if it weren't for the occasional standing on the balcony and seeing her walk by the courtyard downstairs, Xie Rou would have wondered if the woman had been beaten to death by a man.

In the afternoon, the sky had just fallen, Xie's father and Xie's mother had already gone home from work, and the family of three sat on the sofa to watch the TV series with Xie's mother.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Xie Rou stood up as soon as possible, left the sofa, and looked at the dark gaze that Father Xie had seen, Xie Rou smiled proudly, seriously, the dramas that Mother Xie loves to watch, she and Father Xie really can't get it.

Opening the door, Xie Rou looked at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy standing at the door of his house, a little stunned.

The boy was stunned when he saw her, and his footsteps to walk in were paused in mid-air, and he was silent for a while before taking it back.
