Chapter 8: The Gambler

Z City

I, Huang Yajing, have a good family background and am a housewife. Every day, I take care of the children at home, cook and cook, and wait for my husband's salary to hit my card every month. In addition, when the child falls asleep, I read a book in the living room or post my own evaluation of the book on the Internet. Because it's on the Internet, netizens don't know my gender or what I look like, and I am called Mr. by a group of 'Wenqing'.

But I feel a little strange lately, recently my husband has a strong smell of smoke on his body, and his eyes are bloodshot, although he knows that his work needs to be socialized, but every time before the social, he will call me to tell me. But lately, I don't know that the phone calls are not made, and the number of times I ask for money is increasing, the amount of money is increasing, and the smell of smoke on my body is getting heavier and heavier.

One morning, I heard the door open, and as I listened to the sound of tiptoeing, I knew it was the sound of my husband returning.

But instead of going to the bathroom to take a shower, or opening the baby's room to see how the child was doing, the husband opened the refrigerator. I walked out and looked at my husband in front of me, who was eating the leftover marinade from last night. I asked, "I'll give you hot food, it's not good to eat raw and cold things." ”

"No, I'll just eat whatever I want." My husband looked at me with a smile on his face.

In the middle of the ring, I went straight to the point and said, "Where did you go last night?" ”

"I asked a lot of your friends and they said it had been a long time since I saw you."

The husband was silent for a long time, his eyes wandered, and he said intermittently: "Recently, a new customer took me to a newly opened hotel. ”

I caught the dodge in his eyes and said, "Then you have to pay attention to rest, you don't seem to have a rest for a long time, right?" ”

The husband agreed, but said vaguely: "Well, let's take a good rest in the past of this project." ”

In the middle of the ring, the husband whispered, "Wife, can you give me some more money?" ”

"How much?"

"Fifty thousand."

"What are you doing all of a sudden?" My voice was an octave higher.

"Don't be angry, this project will definitely pay off."

Huang Yajing frowned a little at the words "back to the original".

"Okay, then I'll transfer it to you on WeChat."

"Eh, okay, thank you, wife."

……

"Hello, this is XXXXXX International Trade Company, who are you?" The usual greeting came over the phone.

"Hello, I want to ask if 'Hu Weixing' is in the company?" I whispered into the phone.

"Okay, wait a minute." I only heard a click, and the phone came again: "Transferring for you..."

"Hello, I am the manager of the personnel department of XXXXXX International Trade Company, who are you?" A woman's voice came from the phone.

"Hello, I am Hu Weixing's wife, and my name is Huang Yajing." I introduced myself and continued, "I would like to ask, is my husband in the company now?" ”

"I'm sorry, did you make a mistake, a week ago, Hu Weixing never returned to the company, and many times the phone couldn't get through, and now our company is going through the resignation procedure for him. If you can contact him, please ask him to come to the company to sign his name. ”

I was covering my mouth and thinking, "Could it be that my husband has been lying to me for the past few days?" ”

The voice on the phone continued: "As an aside, Hu Weixing borrowed a lot of money from his colleagues in the company, and some colleagues saw him being chased by loan sharks, maybe something happened." ”

"Anyway, if you see him, please ask him to go to the company to go through the resignation procedures and sign his name." The HR manager said unhurriedly.

"Okay, I'll go back when I'm free." When the manager heard it, it was Hu Weixing's voice, and there was something faintly wrong in his heart.

"Haha, Xiaohu, you are also there." The manager said with a smile.

"yes, if the manager is okay, I'll hang up, goodbye." After speaking, Hu Weixing pointed a knife at Huang Yajing's neck with one hand, and hung up the phone with the other. Then he said affectionately to his wife: "Wife." ”

"Can you leave my business alone?"

A fortune-telling stall at the foot of Kowloon Mountain

"Sir, I saved one last night and lives on the fourth floor of my house. I don't know if Mr. is interested, help me calculate this hexagram? A woman with sunglasses and a scarf said.

"The word 'death', when taken apart, is 'one', 'xi', 'dagger', which refers to the fact that you were stabbed to death by a knife when the sun was setting in the evening." Chen Chao said slowly.

"But it's for you, and for Fluttershy, that he has someone to help him prevent her from being killed at sunset." The fat man wiped his hands and said. turned around and greeted Ah Huan: "Ah Huan, don't charge money, collect stalls." Then he looked back at the female ghost and said:

"After the test, you still haven't left, do you really want me to thank you?"

"Don't dare." After speaking, the female ghost returned to the sea of people with Shi Shiran, and could not find a trace.

……

"What to do?" Ah Huan ran over and said to the fat man.

"What can I do, Fluttershy has been unwell lately, shouldn't we as friends buy some fruit and watch her?" The fat man blinked and looked at Ah Huan, and added:

"By the way, I'm buying a poker card."

“……”

Chen Xiaodie lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling as usual, and thought, "What an eventful season." His eyelids kept fighting, and he slowly fell asleep.

In her dream, she dreams of going out to eat grilled fish with Fat Man and Huan, and they send Fluttershy home as usual. On the way, the fat man is bragging and farting as always, and Huan is tearing down his desk as always, but Fluttershy always notices that something is wrong. In the end, she came downstairs to her rental house, and she told him: "It's not been peaceful here lately, you should go back and rest early." As if they knew what they were going to say: "Don't buy beer, have money to spend?" With that, Fluttershy froze, wondering if something was wrong. After listening to the fat man's farewell, he shook his head and went upstairs.

In front of the elevator door, she saw an eccentric man who didn't seem to be her familiar neighbor. The elevator door opened, and she was about to step in, when she suddenly understood something, and immediately left the elevator door and rushed out, and the man next to her followed.

She ran out of the corridor and saw the fat two who had just walked a short distance, so she shouted: "Chen Chao! ”

When she approached the front, she found that Chen Chao and Ah Huan unconsciously 'turned' their heads, but their bodies did not turn around, but their whole heads turned one hundred and eighty degrees, their faces were still the same, their eyes and mouth were full of black, and the corners of their eyes kept bleeding, and they said happily, "Hello, Sister Fluttershy." ”

Fluttershy freezes at this scene, looking at Fat Man and Huan as they get closer and closer in front of her, while behind her are strange men in hot pursuit. Fluttershy tells herself, "Run." "But the feet are no longer at the command......

"Sister Fluttershy, open the door and check the water meter!!" The fat man knocked on the door outside.

Fluttershy wakes up, sweating profusely and with tears in the corners of her eyes.

She rushed out of the room, opened the door, and beat the fat man.
