The winter night came quickly, it was only six o'clock, and the sky was already dark. On both sides of the road, street lamps are lit one after another, and a puff of milky white light decorates the streets, so that the town will not be buried in darkness. At the corner of the street, Zhang Jinyu, dressed in a black coat, was walking home along a sparsely populated street.

He smoked a cigarette and strode along the snow-covered road. It may be a little annoying, Zhang Jinyu frowned at this moment, and there was a lingering depression. About ten minutes later, he came to the door of his house with a gloomy mood, No. 234 Nanxi Road.

As soon as he entered the house, when he saw his appearance, his wife surrounded him and asked, "Jin Yu, why did you come back so early today? Something happened to the construction team? Did those little rabbit cubs make you angry again, you, don't be too nice to them, you have to scold a few words." ”

"Alas......" Zhang Jinyu sighed, and he didn't answer when he just entered the house.

As soon as he threw his coat on the floor, he drank on the table.

"You mean, you've been frowning for the past two days? This is not like you, if this look is seen by Xiaohuan, you can't get over the face of a father. When his wife saw his appearance, she immediately took out the most effective threat she usually had. Although this husband is sometimes a little unreliable, he pays great attention to his image in front of his daughter.

Zhang Jinyu usually has any worries, she will stretch her brows in front of her daughter and strive to be a good father. But today...... Alas.

Pouring a small glass of liquor into his stomach in one gulp, feeling the hot liquid sliding through his mouth, and swallowing his throat, Zhang Jinyu slowly spoke: "...... Go to bed early today, I'll think about something by myself. ”

"Jin Yu, did you encounter something, tell me, I am your wife, I should know!" The wife sat beside him gently and poured him half a glass of wine.

"It's a hassle, so ...... Forget it, don't say any more, go up and see Xiaohuan, don't let her come down, I don't want her to see it. Zhang Jinyu slapped the table and wanted to say something excitedly, but after standing up, he swallowed what he wanted to say again.

"By the way, tell my daughter to come home early from school and don't go out to play. ”

"You...... Forget it, I don't care about you today, but tomorrow you give me a normal place, otherwise I will tell Xiaohuan!" The wife was annoyed and worried, but she also knew that there was no result in asking like this, so she frowned and went upstairs to see her daughter.

The daughter was doing her homework in the room, and after a few glances outside the door, she would go to the bedroom, turn on the TV, and turn it on.

The night soon darkened, and after finishing her homework, her daughter climbed into bed and watched TV with her for a while, and after more than half an hour, her daughter went back to her room to sleep. Watching boring TV series, she thinks about her husband in her heart. In the past few days, her husband always has such a bored expression when he comes home, and he doesn't say anything when asked. By the way, I heard that something happened to the construction team a few days ago, I don't know if the little rabbit is causing trouble again, I'll ask later. Thinking about it, she fell asleep unconsciously.

In a daze, she felt that the room seemed a little cold.

Already asleep, she pulled the quilt and wrapped herself tighter.

"Jin Yu Jin Yu, what's wrong with you?"

When she got up in the morning, she wrapped herself in thick pajamas and went downstairs to pick up her hungover husband to sleep. But what she saw downstairs made her lose her soul...... I saw that my husband, who was originally strong, fell to the ground, and there were still spilled wine and food around him.

After helping her husband up, she tried his snort, and only after finding that there was still breath of relief did she quickly pick up the phone and call for help: "Hey, is it 112! Come quickly, this is No. 234 Nanxi Road." My husband passed out and couldn't scream. Oh, yes...... Well, I see............ That's it, you guys hurry up!"

After hanging up the phone in a hurry, Zhang Jinyu's wife hurriedly opened the door. Afraid that her husband would freeze, she went upstairs and took a blanket to wrap the cold Zhang Jinyu. She then took her husband in her arms and waited for help to arrive.

"Mom, what's wrong with Dad?" At this time, the daughter who was still sleeping was woken up.

"No, it's okay baby, you go to school first, Dad got drunk last night, and Mom took him to the hospital. Forcibly holding back her tears, Zhang Jinyu's wife coaxed her suspicious daughter to school, and soon left home with the hospital's ambulance.

.........

At the same time, the former mayor Li Zejia.

"Mom, you said Dad hasn't been back for two days...... You call again, and if there is no news, we will call the police. It wouldn't be good if something happened. Li Ze's son, Li Min, has entered the government of Fenghua City through various connections, and now he is considered to be famous, but he often goes home to visit his healthy and elderly parents. But as soon as I entered the door today, I saw my frowning mother not listening to the call.

"This dead ghost, where did he fool around this time? It's been two days, and he hasn't even called back. Li Ze's wife is about 50 years old, and she is worried about her husband at this time. Although there are many cases where her husband does not return home at night, it is really the first time that she does not come home for two days in a row and does not have a phone call, so she can't help but worry!

"Something won't really happen, don't meet bad guys with this old guy......" Seeing that it was still snowing outside the window, Li Ze's wife was angry and worried, but she could only pray silently in her heart.

"Mom, I think it's better to call the police. ”

Hearing the news, even the daughter who works in the bank hurriedly came back, and after listening to the words of the eldest brother and mother, she immediately became anxious.

"Wait, Mom, call that Mr. Huang to see, I remember last time Dad said they had a big business to do. Now that the business has been completed, as a person, I will definitely go to the surname Huang to sit and exchange feelings. ”

"Okay, that's it. When Li Ze's wife, who had no owner, heard her son's words, she immediately picked up the phone.

"Hey, is it Mr. Huang? Well, I'm Li Ze's wife, may I ask where my husband has been with you for the past two days?......... Ah, what do you say, he was there the day before yesterday...... No, he went out the day before yesterday and didn't come back...... So, you haven't seen him since the night before?"

After hanging up the phone, Li Ze's wife hurriedly dialed 110.

"Mom, let's come with me!" The son took the phone and said directly: "Find your Captain Lin, and say that Li Min is looking for him...... Well, hurry up. ”

"Min'er, is this Captain Lin an acquaintance of yours?"

"Well, Mom, Captain Lin is supported by me and my father, and I am my own person, and I am more at ease to do things by myself. ”

"Yes, yes, don't worry about your own people!"

After comforting his already panicked mother, Li Ze's son walked out of the house and dialed his mobile phone: "Team Lin, it's like this, my father is missing......... I went to Qingxi Lodge once the night before and didn't come back since...... Yes, you look into it yourself...... Oh, go to Cheonggye Lodge at noon, and I'll go with you. ”

He looked up at the gray sky, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his chest, and after sighing, he turned back to the house to comfort his mother.

............

............

"Sister, I'm very tired, I've already boiled water. ”

"Hmm~ I'm almost done cleaning up. Hehe, those little ghosts really left us with sugar-coated shells. Pointing to the colorful candy wrappers in the trash can, Yu Yu stretched tiredly.

There were so many people who came yesterday that even though everyone was polite and didn't litter, there was still a lot of garbage left in the room. Alas, this is also something that cannot be helped, after all, there were many children yesterday, chasing and messing up the furniture, and leaving a place of candy packaging and other things.

After working for most of the day, she finally had a break from what she was going to feel inside and outside the house, and she sat lazily in her chair.

"Sister......" Xiao Jing cried out a little distressed.

"What's wrong?"

"You should have asked me to get up to help just now, how could it be that my sister is busy!" Xiao Jing's eyes were full of reproach, and she looked at her dissatisfied: "On such a cold day, my sister is cleaning outside the yard alone, while I am sleeping in the bed......" said

"I'm my sister~" said in the tone that should have been like this: "Besides, Xiaojing's health is not good, of course these things should be done by my sister." Xiao Jing can only obediently help her sister prepare hot water, as long as she takes a comfortable bath, all the tiredness on her sister's body will fly away. ”

"But......" Xiao Jing wanted to say something, but was stopped by the words.

When Xiao Jing came to her side, she was surprised and hugged her all of a sudden. rubbed his sister Xiangxiang's neck softly, and whispered in a low voice: "Xiaojing, let's take a bath together, it's been a long time since I've been like this~"

"But...... We've all grown up, it's embarrassing!" Yu Yu suddenly changed the topic, Xiao Jing couldn't react, and could only push Yu Yu with a blushing cheek.

"What's the matter, I washed it for you when you were a child~ Well, there is a small black mole on Xiao Jing's buttocks. There is also a small strange birthmark on the left chest......... By the way, there is also a wound on the right arm that my sister accidentally caused. The words lay in my sister's ear, and I enumerated the secrets of the ** parts of my sister's body one by one.

"Ah~ Sister, don't say it, this kind of thing is very embarrassing!"

"Hehe, what's the matter?Hehe, let my sister see if you've grown up there~~" Yu Yu laughed a few times, took his sister's hand and ran to the bathroom.

Soaking in the bath, Yuyu was lying on the edge of the bath, while Xiao Jing behind her was helping her rub her back.

The mountain temple has a wooden structure, even the bathroom is no exception, because it has not been repaired for too long, the bathroom is a little leaky, and the cold air outside makes the two of them curl up in the wooden bathtub. Although Xiao Jing said that she was ashamed, this was not the case. The two are both familiar with each other's bodies, so they don't feel embarrassed.

"Sister......

"Hmm~"

"You don't think it's weird lately!"

"What's the matter, are you talking about the nightmares I had recently?" Yu Yu, who was closing his eyes and enjoying himself, didn't care very much, and reached out and rubbed his sister's little head: "Don't think about it too much, my sister may be too tired recently, just wait for the New Year to pass." Haha, there are a lot of offerings this year, enough to make us live for a long time. Well, it seems that my part-time job can also be rested~ Haha, how about my sister help you write your winter vacation homework, it's very interesting. ”

"Oh yes, Rin also helped a lot this time~" suddenly remembered Rin's outrageous offerings, and Yu Yu laughed happily. She, she doesn't care why Rin gives so much, since it's an offering to the gods, it's her own!

Mm-hmm, that's right!

"Sister...... Do I have nightmares too?" Xiao Jing said hesitantly after putting down the towel, submerged her body in the water, put her cheek on her sister's back, and hesitated. She felt that she should still say it, after all, she was raised by her sister since she was a child, and if she hid this kind of thing from her sister, she would be sad!

"What?!" Yu Yu stood up from the bath in a fit of rage, and was seen through by his sister. She can be indifferent to her situation, she can laugh and joke, but that doesn't mean she's used to that nightmare. As soon as he heard that the horror and silence in the dream happened to his sister, Yu immediately couldn't sit still: "No, no......"

"Sister, sister......"

"Xiao Jing, what did you dream about, is it pitch black!?"

"Well, it's dark all around, it's so quiet that there's no sound at all, I'm scared...... I don't know how long I was in the dark...... Nothing, no light, no sound, nothing...... I'm so scared...... I don't know how long it took, but then I woke up!"

"Woo woo ......" heard her sister's narration, and Yu suddenly cried: "Why, why is this happening, it's good if this nightmare finds me, why do you still look for Xiaojing, why do you ......"

That dream is that dream!

I have been waking up in a dream lately, and I am scared into a cold sweat. Although he always didn't seem to care much when facing Xiao Jing's inquiry...... However, Yuyu is really scared.

That kind of environment where there is silence except darkness is terrible!

"Sister...... It's okay, it's okay, don't cry. ”

The two sisters hugged each other and cried for a while, and suddenly stood up from the bathtub, and after listening carefully for a while, she suddenly asked, "Xiaojing...... Isn't it too quiet?"

"Huh?!"

Winter is a time when life is dormant and always quiet.

But the two sisters had never experienced this level of silence!

The surroundings were eerily suffocating, silent, and there was no sound at all.

Because of the use of the wood for too long, the sizzling sound of the wooden planks often occurs, the sound of rats turning in the kitchen, the soft sound of snow falling on the eaves of the roof, and the blood falling from the top of the tree, the broken branches, and the low howl of the cold wind...... All, gone!

Such a deep silence, such a strange silence!
