Xu Bin was wearing white short sleeves and a black baseball cap leaning on the car and waiting for Shen Yin to go downstairs. The three girls beside him looked at him a few times in beautiful school uniforms, and one of them looked at him and stepped forward with a big grin, "Handsome guy, you shouldn't live in this neighborhood and need help?" ”

Xu Bin shook his head, thinking to himself that girls are so open now? "No thanks, I'm waiting for someone." He took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it and took a puff, looking at the girl beside him.

The girl smiled regretfully: "So that's the case, I rarely see someone as handsome as you in the community, so I'm a little curious." ”

Xu Bin took out a business card, "Welcome to see my work!" ”

The girl was flattered, "Ah, it turns out that you are the author of the comic book "The Former House". ”

"The Former House" is his debut novel, published when he was eighteen years old, and it is not very famous. His masterpieces are "Quadruple Death", "I Beat the Strongest Star Group", and "Flying", these names are so familiar that he thought about them for a while before remembering them, wondering why she was interested in this little-known work.

"Well, but this comic was stopped in print ten years ago, how do you still know so much detail?" He speculated that she should have been in the third grade of primary school when "The Former Residence" was published, so how could such a young child read a suspenseful horror story like "The Former Residence".

The girl smiled heartily: "This is my dad's treasured book, he is your loyal reader, and my dad and I will go to the next book signing." ”

"Okay, you leave your phone number, and I'll give you a special ticket when the time comes."

"Thank you so much!" The girl took out her phone and stared at him, as if she had something to say.

Xu Bin understood that she definitely wanted a group photo, but she was embarrassed to say it, "Since the phone has been taken out, let's take a photo together." ”

The girl nodded excitedly, and hurriedly approached him, making a gesture to take a picture.

Shen Yin came down from upstairs and saw Xu Bin with a smile on his face, "What happy event have you encountered?" ”

"yes, an interesting reader!" As he spoke, he sat in the driver's seat and snuffed out his cigarette butt in the ashtray.

"So where do we go now?" Shen Yin had already closed the car door and noticed two digital cameras in the back seat.

Last night, she had already seen the information sent by Xu Bin, which showed the names of five places: a second-hand car trading market, a courthouse, a fishmonger's stall, an abandoned factory and a vegetable market. The five locations written by Xu Bin did not indicate detailed addresses, and Shen Yin guessed that he probably didn't know the addresses of these places, so he invited her to go to the scenery together.

"Of course, it's an abandoned factory, which is one of the most important scenes." He caught a glimpse of Shen Yin having fastened his seatbelt and started the car, turning a corner and heading for the road.

She swept her eyes over the screen of the car's GPS navigation system and saw that she was navigating to the location of an abandoned factory, "I read the email you sent, and to be honest, I support your idea, but it costs a lot." ”

Xu Bin also considered this problem before sending it to her, he tilted his head slightly, his eyes were still looking ahead, and his right hand took out "Confessions of Loneliness" from the small cabinet in the car, "You should have read this book, you should have scenes in those parts of it, but in order to make readers immersive, it is necessary to pay attention to the sense of picture, so that they can build a bridge between reality, so that they can not only be easily brought into the story, but also allow readers to reflect on it." That's why I got involved in the script of this novel! He looked at Shen Yin with a determined and enthusiastic gaze.

"I see."

She finished reading the first chapter last night, this novel is mainly about an ordinary family of three who originally lived a stable life, and one day her son, who was in the third year of junior high school, was involved in a conflict between classmates, and his son was killed by his classmates and his body was dumped. His parents were worried all day long in search of the truth. Once, my father learned about the progress of the case and the suspect from a friend who was a police officer. A plan of revenge was brewing in his mind, because the murderers of his son were two minors, and according to the law of the time, the death penalty for crimes committed by minors was not punishable, and the maximum sentence was life imprisonment. But instead of feeling guilty about raising such a child, the parents of one of the murderers also falsified medical proof that his child had a mental illness and shirked responsibility. Seeing this result, the mother, who was devastated, found it difficult to accept such a result, and finally chose to commit suicide, leaving behind a lonely and sad father.

"Although this story is fictional, I think there are such cases in real life, so I hope that everyone who reads this comic can have a rational understanding and reverence for life in their hearts. No matter what kind of identity it is, trampling on anyone's life at will will eventually pay the price! Xu Bin said word by word, looking at Shen Yin's expression.

Shen Yin was speechless for a while, she had experienced too many things recently, and she was a little slack in her work, she really didn't take this into account, her face couldn't help but get hot, she thought that Shuangduo must have been hot and red now.

When they came to the abandoned factory, the sixty-year-old uncle who was guarding the door followed them, swept through the rows of buildings, and pointed to one of the buildings, "It's really time for you to come, I heard that this building will be demolished next week, you can take more pictures if you want." ”

Xu Bin took a gift box from the car and handed it to the uncle with a smile, "Thank you, please accept this kindness." ”

"Then you're welcome, close the door when you're done." When the uncle saw the West Lake Longjing tea with Yifutang written on the box, he took it with a smile and turned to leave.

Shen Yin approached him, saw that the uncle had already walked away, and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't expect you to bring a gift, you are really thoughtful." ”

Xu Bin put his hand to his mouth, "Actually, I wanted to throw away that thing, but when I saw that uncle's teacup was brewed with blackened tea leaves, I remembered, anyway, I don't like tea, just enough to play its value." He picked up his digital camera and pressed the shutter button on the abandoned building in front of him.

They had been walking around the abandoned building for an hour, and Xu Bin had already taken more than 100 photos. It can be seen that this building has been abandoned for more than ten years, and there are many graffiti on the walls inside, which should be left by the children in the neighborhood who often come to play. The cement in some places in the corner of the wall has begun to fall off, and the ** on the white wall is also blown everywhere by the wind. Shen Yin has been wearing a mask since she came in, and she can't stand the choking smell of dust.

After coming out of the fish stall, Shen Yin felt much more comfortable in his stomach. Xu Bin cast a concerned gaze and noticed her somewhat pale face, "Are you okay?" If you want to, go back first, and don't go to the second-hand car trading market and vegetable market. ”

"It's okay, I just can't stand the fishy smell on the fish stall, just rest for a while."

Xu Bin found a hot drink shop opposite, and he bought two cups of milk tea and returned to the car.

"Now that it's time to eat, shall we go after eating?" Shen Yin saw that there was a Zhejiang restaurant next to it. Although it is less than 800 meters away from the fish stall, the business inside is very good, and people come in and out. She still remembers that Zhou Fansheng said that Xu Bin likes Zhejiang cuisine, especially fried prawns and West Lake beef soup.

Xu Bin parked the car on the side of the road and walked into this Zhejiang restaurant with her. The waiter immediately stepped forward and asked them, "Is it two?" ”

Shen Yin nodded, the store was full now, and there were no empty seats.

The waiter pointed to the right, "This way, please, there are still seats on the second floor." ”

The second floor seemed to be more spacious than the downstairs, and the atmosphere was good, they sat down in a window position, and the waiter took the menu from the table and handed it to them, "Please take a look, what do you need?" ”

Shen Yin handed the menu to Xu Bin, pouted and smiled: "I have a treat today!" ”

"Haha...... It's rare that we can talk for so long, so you're welcome. He glanced at the menu and said a few names smoothly, and she suspected that Xu Bin hadn't read the menu at all.

"Okay, please wait!" After the waiter left, he brought a small kettle, which was brewed with buckwheat tea, "If you need to add water, call me." ”

"Okay, thank you!" Shen Yin poured two glasses of water.

At this time, a man with an inch of hair walked over, looked at Xu Binhan and said with a smile: "Brother Bin, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect to meet you here." A hint of loneliness flashed in the man's eyes, and then he looked at Shen Yin.

The man was about one meter eight tall, handsome, wearing a red short-sleeved shirt and black shorts, showing two tiger teeth when he laughed, thick eyebrows, and calm and gloomy eyes. Shen Yin saw that there was a line of English letter tattoos on his collarbone, and the upper part had been washed off.

Xu Bin just picked up the teacup and heard the voice, turned his head slightly, and faced a familiar face, "Shuhang, what a coincidence!" ”

Shen Yin was a little uncomfortable stared at by this man, and looked at Xu Bin, but found that Xu Bin's eyes were a little dull.

"Who is this?" The man sat next to Xu Bin, and the table in this shop was long, with only two rows of connected couches.

Xu Bin retracted his gaze, "My friend-Shen Yin." ”

The man retracted his gaze, "Cao Shuhang, his college classmate, was still on the top bunk in the same dormitory at that time. His tone was low and slightly magnetic.

"Ah......" Xu Bin poured him a glass of water, "The college dormitory I went to is a six-person room, and it is the kind of bunk bed." He didn't know why he would explain this to Shen Yin.

"Bang dang!" Cao Shuhang took the teacup and drank it all, and put the glass on the table, "Then I won't disturb you, I'll go first." ”

Xu Bin stood up, chased after him and shouted at him, "Shuhang, wait a minute......"

She looked out the window and saw Xu Bin stopping Cao Shuhang to say something, maybe the voice between them was too quiet, she couldn't hear it clearly, she could only see their movements. Cao Shuhang shook off Xu Bin's arm and walked forward.

Xu Bin continued to follow, her view blocked by the window on the first floor.

The waiter came over with a plate of fried prawns, "I'm sorry! Keeping you waiting. ”
