-20 Strange Millet
When it was dark, Li Zhengguo called a bus and stuffed 'those people' into the car in turn. These people behaved calmly, not noisy or noisy, and sat quietly, as if they had long been accustomed to it.
"They...... Will it die? ”
Lu Banxin stood under the eaves, watched the bus gradually disappear into the crowded traffic, and asked in a low voice.
"No, it won't."
Feng Xinran patted her on the shoulder and said, "Go back and rest, it's been a tired day, get a good night's sleep." ”
"Hmm."
Back in the room, Lu Banxin took out the letters written by his father to his mother, and looked through them one by one, but he still had no clue. She pinched the brass key, remembered the red figure in her memory, and gradually fell asleep.
After falling asleep, Lu Banxin had a strange dream, in which her mother was wearing a red windbreaker standing at the door of the Evergreen grocery store, it was raining in the sky, she walked directly into the rain, and did not look back, leaving a long string of heels hitting the bluestone pavement with the sound of "tuk-tuk".
A little girl ran out of the shop and kept shouting "Mom, don't go...... Mom"
The mother stopped, and she twisted her head like a puppet, revealing a face as terrifying as a clown.
Pale cheeks, bright red lips, and lipstick-stained chin, two ugly black lines hung under the eyelids and extended to the corners of the mouth.
She grinned, smiling wildly and strangely, but her eyes pierced the little girl's heart like a knife.
"Ah......h
Lu Banxin sat up from the bed with a scream, her head was full of that weird face and knife-like eyes, she gasped heavily, swallowed hard, and it took more than half an hour to gradually calm down.
It was just a dream, but Lu Banxin felt her scalp tingle for no reason, and that scene made her feel a sense of déjà vu, as if she had experienced it herself.
But she also knew clearly that she did not have this story in her memory.
"Could it be...... Was it because of that strange fever? ”
Lu Banxin got out of bed and poured a glass of water, muttering quietly while drinking.
When I was a child, I couldn't remember how much Xiao Lu couldn't remember, I just remember that she hadn't been in elementary school at that time, and one day in the middle of the night she was inexplicably hot, her whole body was red like a ripe prawn, and her consciousness was also burned and confused, her father and grandfather sent her to the hospital overnight, and she stayed in the hospital for a full month before she was rescued from the ghost gate.
After coming back, Lu Banxin never saw his mother again, and a memory about before the hospitalization disappeared from his head, and his grandfather said that his head was burned because of fever, and his memory was lost.
At that time, Lu Banxin was too young to understand her grandfather's words, and only remembered one thing, her mother died in the memory when she disappeared.
If there is no awakening, no Nine Dao, and no shallow floating mountain, she Lu Banxin is just an ordinary female college student, she may live a carefree life with this regretful memory, and maybe the red figure will occasionally appear in her dreams. Unfortunately, since that late night three days ago, a lot of things have changed. The death of the grandfather is not an accident, and the change of the father is not an accident, so will the disappearance of the mother be also not an accident?
Could that vanished memory be deliberately erased just to cover up a certain truth?
Lu Banxin stood in the dark, pacing back and forth, like an ant who couldn't find her way, dazed and ignorant, she doubted, suspected, then denied, and doubted again and again.
Just when she was anxious, there was a strange noise in the corridor, like a person's footsteps, and the footsteps were very light, which should have been done on purpose.
"Are those people here again?"
Lu Banxin suddenly became nervous, she cheered up, crept to the door, her ear was close to the crack of the door, and she heard a strange sigh coming in from outside the crack in the door, the voice was very close to her, it should be outside the door.
Lu Banxin was so frightened that he took a few steps back, picked up the lamp on the table, and yelled outside, "You...... Who are you? How did you get in? ”
No one answered, but the sigh rang out again.
At the same time, there was a jumble of footsteps, just outside the grocery store.
"What about people? Where did you go? ”
This is Mo Thirteen's voice.
"I saw him go in, he should be inside."
This is the White Wing.
Lu Banxin heard the conversation between the two, hurriedly pushed open the window, pinched his throat and shouted downstairs: "Thirteenth Master, Bai Yi...... Yes, who's coming? ”
The lights in the grocery store were turned on, and the light penetrated into the alley, and Bai Yi stood in the light, looked up and said to her, "Who else, old fellow." The tone seemed a little helpless.
Old Guy ...... Kang Lao? The boss of the shallow floating mountain?
Lu Banxin was stunned, put down the lamp in his hand, and opened the door with doubts.
Under the light, a middle-aged man wearing a floral shirt and a broken straw hat with the smell of alcohol was sitting at the door, his head tilted to the side, sighing from time to time.
Lu Banxin went around to his front and found that he was closing his eyes, breathing steadily, and looking like he was asleep.
He's the boss of Shallow Floating Mountain? A guy with the same name as Wang Rendao of the Ghost Pavilion? No way?
Looking at the outfit, it's completely a weird squire with some bad taste.
Besides, what did this guy want to do when he came to my house in the middle of the night?
Lu Banxin didn't think much about it, tiptoed around the old guy, and rushed downstairs.
In the shop, Li saw that Mo Thirteen and the others were standing at the top of the stairs, staring helplessly at a few wine bottles at their feet, and seeing Lu Banxin running downstairs nervously, everyone covered their eyes and scolded silently in their hearts: Old and indecent.
"Half heart, don't be afraid, Kang Lao has no malice, just a little ...... Possess a childlike innocence. ”
Song Qi pulled Lu Banxin aside and comforted: "As soon as he came back last night, he turned the headquarters of the Ghost Pavilion upside down, and the old ghost couldn't stop him. You can rest assured, although Kang Lao is a little nonsensical, he is not a bad person. ”
"Uh...... So, then what did he come here in the middle of the night? ”
Lu Banxin wanted to ask Kang Lao if he had any special hobbies, but he was too embarrassed to speak.
Song Qi sighed and said, "Elder Kang and your grandfather are from the same family, and the two have been brothers for decades, and after your grandfather died, he entrusted you to him...... I think he came back this time mainly to see you. He's a good drinker, but the amount of alcohol is not good, and he just drank too much today, don't care. ”
As he spoke, Kang Lao walked down the stairs slowly, although his steps were unsteady, his feet were very light. From time to time, he let out a 'hey, hey, hey' laugh from his mouth, shrugged his shoulders, and rubbed his hands, which is completely like the weird image of a deceiving little girl often played on TV.
Li saw that they had no face to look at it for a long time, so he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury himself immediately.
Lu Banxin watched him walk in front of him, and his body shrank back.
"Kang...... Hello Grandpa Kang. ”
The old guy's mouth was almost grinning behind his ears, and his expression was so greasy that he could scrape off a few catties of oil.
"What's your name grandpa, it's called Uncle Kang."
"Kang...... Uncle Kang. ”
Lu Banxin hid behind Song Qi and only showed half of his face.
Do you still say that it is not to blame? This greasy strength makes people's hearts hairy. Is he really the boss of Shallow Floating Mountain? A guy with the same name as Wang Rendao? The legend of the god who lit up ten stars?
"Eh, that's right."
Kang Lao nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand to everyone, and said, "What are you doing here?" Let's all disperse, let me talk to my little niece alone for a while. ”
No one moved.
The third watch knocked on the door of the little girl's room in the middle of the night, and he was still full of alcohol, who dared to let him be alone with Lu Banxin?
It's not that I'm afraid that he will do anything wrong, the problem is that this guy has never been in shape, especially after drinking, if he does something to disgrace Qianfu Mountain again, how will their organization be mixed in the supernatural world in the future?
Let's just say that last time, the old guy drank too much, and went to knock on the bedroom of the daughter of a business tycoon in the middle of the night, and didn't ask if they were willing, but pulled the little girl and said that he wanted to go to the top of the mountain to see the stars and admire the moon. It was three days away, alarming the police in the whole city, and making TV headlines, if it weren't for the fact that the daughter had just turned five years old, no one would have believed that he really just took people to see the scenery for a few days.
Later, it took a lot of effort to settle the matter, and after that, no one dared to let the old guy be alone with the little girl after drinking.
In fact, the old guy turned out to be quite normal, and then his daughter died in a traffic accident, and his personality changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he drank like drinking water without drinking, and he couldn't walk when he saw the little girl, but his reaction was different from Luo Qingtian and Yuan Junhao, he loved every girl like his own child.
Later, the reporter interviewed the business tycoon, according to him, her daughter was not hurt from beginning to end, and the suspect who kidnapped her took her to see the stars and moon, caught hares and pheasants, and took her to race with wild deer, and had a good time. Later, the daughter often looked forward to when the old guy would come to pick her up again, and she didn't even close the door when she went to bed at night. The big guy once thought that his daughter was stunned, and he specially found a psychological counselor for her.
This is a well-known word throughout the Abilities world, and everyone thinks that the old guy is a pervert, especially a little girl. All the members of Qianfu Mountain can only explain over and over again, saying that Kang Lao just misses his daughter, and it is impossible to do those out-of-the-ordinary things if he doesn't do it. As for whether everyone believes it or not, it is unknown.
Seeing that everyone didn't move, the old guy took out a bottle of wine from his trouser pocket, raised his head and drank most of it, and said with a hiccup: "Look at you one by one, prevent me like a thief, Lao Tzu has lived for most of his life, can you have some personal space of your own?" ”
"Kang Lao, if you want private space, don't do it in the middle of the night, you look at the people who are scared by you, and when you say it, you still think that we are bullying newcomers in Qianfu Mountain." Mo 13 shook his head for a while, sighed and left the grocery store.
Li Jian and Luo Qingtian glanced at each other, and one of them grabbed one of the old guy's arms, covered his mouth, and put the person out.
Song Qi patted Lu Banxin: "It's okay, if you have anything to say, wait for Kang Laojiu to wake up, you go to sleep, I'll watch downstairs." ”
Lu Banxin looked at the flower shirt that had been taken away, and a black line flowed from his head.
What a god like no other!
