Chapter 4: Late Night Call No. 4
The girl has a good appetite, but the amount of alcohol is not good, and after a few bottles of wine, she is drunk and hazy, and the whole person slips under the table like a soft noodle.
After the car circled the street several times, the girl finally said where her family lived.
The girl's home is neatly cleaned and feminine.
On the wall hangs a photo of the girl and her mother, the girl is very similar to her mother, with a shallow dimple on the left side of her face, and she smiles very well.
There is a black-and-white photograph of a young woman and a man in a remake with a girl.
The man, shoulder-length hair, the artist's temperament is strong, and he has a small mustache at the chin, which looks even more tasteful.
In fact, there is no need to guess, this pair of young men and women must have been when Bai Yufei's parents were young.
She was right, her father did have some youthful appearance, and he still looked a little like herself.
To be exact, it should be said that it is god-like but not form-like.
To his surprise, there were several paintings on the background wall behind the sofa.
The one in the middle is his proud work "The Girl on the Bamboo Row".
The other paintings are good, but the technique is a little immature, and when you look closer, the author of the painting is named Yufeng.
He hadn't heard of Yufeng, but later, he found an unfinished painting in the study, and realized that the author named Yufeng was actually the girl who was lying on the sofa and falling asleep at the moment - Bai Yufei.
Of these paintings, his favorite is the one called Outside the Window.
The girl's back, sitting quietly in front of the window, looking at the outside world.
This must be a self-portrait of a girl, from high school, when she was in the midst of her youth, she had to leave the campus due to illness, leave her classmates, and return to her own world.
In her bones, she still yearns for the colorful world outside.
That night, he couldn't get out of it.
The girl didn't sleep well that night. In her sleep, she danced her teeth and claws, and sometimes even sat up suddenly, and looked at him fixedly for a long time, and just when he thought she was awake, she lay down again.
Strange to say, every time he was about to open the door and go out, the girl would always stop him eagerly.
"Uncle, don't go, I'm afraid."
At first he thought the girl was really talking to him, and even answered her.
"Okay, okay, I'm not leaving, I've always been here."
Later, he found out that when the girl said this, she was completely unconscious.
He laughed at himself inwardly, until tonight, he stayed in his own place, before going to bed, blowing the wind from nature on the terrace on the second floor, and then drinking a glass of milk to help him sleep and listening to nostalgic tunes.
And now, he is actually in the same room with a strange girl, and the girl seems to be very attached to him.
He couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, one old and one young, completely out of step with everything around him!
I don't know when he noticed the security door, the one the girl said on the phone.
This door, in fact, is really a bit special, the color is a little abrupt, dark brown? No, light black?
If you look closely, it looks like a combination of two colors.
It's really weird to make a door in such a dark color, no wonder girls are always scared.
On such a night, he, a big man who had been in an accident for a long time, also felt panicked.
The cat's eye on the door, surrounded by marks of gluing.
Curiosity made him look out from the cat's eye, and he was instantly shocked into a cold sweat.
There really seems to be an eyeball on the other end of the cat's eye looking inside.
Isn't what the girl sees a hallucination? Are those eyes real?
My brain was dizzy for a while, and I took out a chocolate candy from my clothes pocket and ate it, relieving myself for a long time, and feeling much better.
Diabetes, for many years, this disease will always haunt you, and today I came out in a hurry, and the needle has not been shot.
After relieving himself, he looked out from the cat's eye again, the eyeball was gone, and under the dim light in the corridor, it was so quiet that there was nothing.
Could it be that you just saw a dazzle?
The next moment, he felt like this, before he ate the chocolate, he was a little dizzy, and it was normal to be dazzled.
Just when he thought it was ridiculous for him to scare himself, there was a sound in the hallway, a rhythmic tapping.
Looking out of the cat's eyes again, cold sweat hit his back again.
There was literally a man in black standing outside the door.
Rubbing his eyes, he looked at it again, it was a person.
In the middle of the night, there was a man in black standing outside the door, of course he was afraid of Bai Yufei.
But in the end, he is a big man, although he is no longer young, he has been young at all, and he has never been afraid of heaven and earth.
Mind moves as he likes, and casually handles a baseball bat on the shoe cabinet in the entrance.
Why is there a baseball bat here, there is no time for him to think, turning the doorknob, and the door is pulled open.
The man in black outside immediately turned around when he heard the movement, and a stunned expression on his young face was stunned.
"Who are you? What are you doing standing outside the door at night? ”
The right hand clenched the baseball bat, and if the person resisted, he immediately slammed it on his head, not to mention opening a scoop or something, at least he was sure to be stunned.
The corners of the black's mouth quivered.
"Uncle, don't be impulsive! Impulsiveness is the devil. ”
"Hmph, devil, I think you are the devil, what is the purpose of running to someone's door in the middle of the night?"
"Uncle, I misunderstood, I was on the night shift and came up at night to sign autographs."
"Signature?"
"Yes, routine patrols every night. Isn't this the top floor? Sign a name and make a card so that you will not be deducted from your salary. ”
"Do you need to run to someone's door for an autograph?"
The young man was a little helpless: "Uncle, you can see clearly, it's not your doorstep." It's on the wall opposite your house, and this watch is hanging on the wall, and you say I'm not here, how can I sign it. ”
Bai Yufei's house turned around the wall of the door, and there was indeed a registration book.
"And what was that knocking sound just now?"
"This water-breaking pen, halfway through the sign-in, the water is not out, I have to knock on the wall, don't you say, this knock, it's really out of the water. Otherwise, I'll have to make a run. ”
"Do you security guards all wear black suits to work?"
"Uncle, are you here the day before? Isn't this our uniform? I don't want to wear this either, it's upright, it makes people feel uncomfortable, and on a hot day, they all cover up the prickly heat. The point is, this squat, I'm afraid that the butt hook will crack and go away. But that's the job, isn't it? You have to wear it. ”
"What proof do you have that you're a security guard here?"
The young man raised the electric baton in his hand: "Uncle, is this counted?" ”
"There's always a work permit!"
"Alas, I'll go, uncle, in the middle of the night, you check your household registration!"
The young man complained, but cooperatively pulled out a crumpled work card from his coat pocket.
"Uncle, you can rest assured now, can I go?"
