Chapter 151: The Old House
It took almost an hour for the car to reach its destination.
"The apartment is built in such a remote place, will anyone really live in it?" Star Swirl couldn't help but think so.
The grassy dirt road stretched crookedly into the woods, and there were no street lamps around it, and a dark gray building could be faintly seen through the sparse branches.
The courtyard was surrounded by high gray walls, and in front of it was a rusty iron door with a large brand new lock hanging from it.
Hanhan's mother took out the key to unlock the lock, and explained: "This house in Gelin District is very old, but the indoor area is large enough, and it is very cost-effective for a family of four like us." ”
Mr. X noticed a blank piece of paper pasted next to the iron door, which was not a small advertisement or something, but a missing person notice.
"Looking for the lost boy Liu Ran, 11 years old, wearing a set of red sportswear, 1.45 meters tall, insiders please contact Mr. Liu, there must be a big thank you! Phone 137xxxx xxxx. ”
The text is accompanied by a photograph of a boy with a visible black mole on the bridge of his nose.
The woman noticed that Mr. X was looking at the missing person notice, so she said, "Since I moved here, I have been seeing someone post this notice near here, and I think there is no whereabouts yet." ”
Mr. X withdrew his gaze and followed the woman through the door. This old-fashioned house is only five stories high, and there is only one family on each floor, and the Hanhan family lives on the first floor.
Mr. X looked at the layout of the interior, it was indeed much more spacious than an ordinary high-rise apartment, and a living room seemed to be about 20 square meters. There is also a small courtyard on the first floor, which is full of loungers and flower stands, which looks very pleasant.
"Mom, you're back!" As soon as she entered the door, a girl threw herself into the woman's arms, looking slightly taller than Hanhan.
Star Swirl also felt a slight vibration from the energy lock, what was going on with the family?
"This is my eldest daughter Qiuqiu, say hello to Dr. Li." The woman introduced.
"Hello Dr. Lee." Qiuqiu greeted Mr. X obediently, and her curious gaze kept rolling on his face.
"Mom, can I go back to my room?" At this time, Hanhan poked his little head out from behind the woman and asked softly.
"Go ahead." The woman touched Hanhan's little head lovingly, and Hanhan ran to the room as if she was happy.
Mr. X coughed lightly, Qiuqiu hurriedly retracted his gaze, and bit his ear with his mother: "Mom, why did the doctor come to the house?" ”
"Because my sister is afraid of the hospital, she will be obedient if she sees a doctor at home." The woman patiently explained to her as she led Mr. X to the sofa in the living room.
"Dr. Li, you take a seat first." The woman picks up the teapot and prepares to make tea.
"Don't bother," Mr. X waved his hand and walked to the door of Hanhan's room, asking, "Do you know what she's playing?" ”
At this time, Han Han was kneeling in front of a low table with a set of toy teacups on the table, and there was no one across from her.
"Cancan, let's have afternoon tea." Han Han said to the air in front of him.
The woman frowned and replied, "Maybe a child of this age will have an 'imaginary friend', Hanhan will mention the name 'Cancan' to me almost every day." ”
"But, can't Hanhan play with his sister?" Mr. X asked.
"Maybe it's because Qiuqiu just started elementary school this year and spends most of her time at school, which makes Hanhan feel lonely." The woman replied.
"I see. So when do we start hypnotherapy? Mr. X asked.
The woman looked at Han Han, who was having a good time, and said embarrassedly, "Can you ask Dr. Li to wait a little longer?" ”
Mr. X nodded slightly, sat back on the couch and began to close his eyes.
Qiuqiu looked at Mr. X curiously at this moment, looking like she wanted to say something.
"Kid, what do you want to tell me?" Mr. X opened his eyes, and there was a glint in his blue eyes.
Qiuqiu seemed to be stunned, and didn't speak for a long time.
The woman smiled, "It seems that my two daughters like you very much." ”
Mr. X said, "As a psychiatrist, it is very necessary to establish a safe, reliable and trustworthy image. ”
"Uncle, when will my sister's illness be cured?" Qiuqiu seems to be worried about her sister's condition.
"It'll get better soon." Mr. X replied.
"How fast is it?" Qiuqiu continued to ask, "My sister always scratches my feet at night, so I can't sleep well......"
Mr. X turned to the woman and said, "You didn't mention this situation just now. ”
"That's right," the woman explained, "at first the two children slept in the same bedroom, but we separated them when Hanhan started sleepwalking, and Hanhan had been sleeping with me lately. ”
"Then why did Qiuqiu think it was Hanhan?" Mr. X asked.
"I want to ...... Probably when they were still sleeping in the same room, Hanhan did this. The woman wasn't sure why her daughter would say that.
"Qiuqiu, will my sister still come to grab your feet these days?" Mr. X asked.
Qiuqiu glanced at her mother, and became swaying from side to side again: "These two days...... It seems to ......"
"Qiuqiu, tell your mother well, don't lie." The woman's tone became a little harsh.
The little girl showed a trace of fear in her eyes, pursed her mouth, and said with a crying voice: "I told you everything, my sister grabbed my feet at night and dragged me under the bed, and you and Dad didn't believe it." ”
Qiuqiu complained very aggrievedly, and it didn't look like she was lying to get her parents' attention.
Mr. X asked, "Did Qiuqiu ever have symptoms of sleepwalking?" ”
The woman shook her head affirmatively: "No, never, it has always been Hanhan." ”
Mr. X pondered and replied, "In my opinion, Qiuqiu is very likely to have been affected by Hanhan's behavior, which has produced a certain amount of psychological pressure. You'd better not ignore her situation. ”
The woman coaxed Qiuqiu and asked worriedly, "Do those two children need treatment?" ”
Mr. X replied, "It is very effective to let Qiuqiu try hypnotherapy to relieve psychological stress. ”
The woman also agreed to Mr. X's proposal and let Qiuqiu lie on her cot.
Qiuqiu asked a little nervously, "Does Uncle Doctor want to give me an injection?" Will it hurt? ”
Mr. X shook his head and said softly, "Qiuqiu, can you take me to your dream to have a look?" ”
Qiuqiu happily agreed, closed her eyes, and under the guidance of Mr. X, she soon fell asleep.
Looking at her sleeping face, Mr. X patted her backpack, and Star Swirl willingly turned on the Energy Lock sharing function and attached it to Qiuqiu.
