Clay

"Eh, Auntie, this kind of thing, it's better not to talk nonsense, people are scary, but they will scare people to death, then let's go first." Phil said to the cleaning aunt, pulling Ciri to turn around and about to go back, the cleaning aunt suddenly shouted and said; Do you stand still, do you deliberately go to him? That child, I know, was pushed to death on the stairs by his stepfather, really, the child's mother, bought insurance for the child, who knows, the child's stepfather, cheated the insurance, and deceived the child's mother, really evil. ”

Ciri suddenly felt that it was normal, and said casually; "People die for money, birds die for food, they are not their own, of course they don't feel distressed, anyway, it's not their own things." The cleaning aunt suddenly sighed, and then said again; "Yes, that child, when he died, his eyes were open, and he didn't blink to death, and he kept wandering here." paid and only felt a chill behind him, and said; "Hey, it's really impermanent, so there are only two things in the world, and you can't look at them directly. One is the sun, the other is the human heart, do you know, we will be careful, thank you for the reminder, then Auntie, we won't bother you, you work first. Let's go first. With that, he pulled Ciri and walked towards the staircase.

"Why don't you make an elevator?" Aunt Cleaner, once stopped them, saw two people, insisted on going up the stairs, and didn't say anything, Phil pulled Ciri, very slowly down the stairs, two people walked very fast, originally, go downstairs you go upstairs much faster, after a while, within a few minutes, two people, walked out of the building.

But Phil felt a burst of uneasiness in his heart, in the end, what was going on, he was not very clear, he was walking on the road, suddenly a person pushed a small cart, and hit Phil at once, Phil stood up, looked at the old man in front of him, patted the snow on his body, fortunately it was not a bicycle, if it was a bicycle, then he must be crippled, the old man was very panicked and asked: "Girl, it's okay, I'm really embarrassed, you're okay, it's okay, it's okay, you didn't fall." Phil looked at the old man in front of him, his hair was gray, and he didn't say anything in blood, and he thought in his heart, this old man is not easy, it's cold, so he said out of kindness: "Uncle, I'm fine, it's so late, you better go home quickly, it's also a cold day now." Then, the old man, from his small cart, took down two small clay figures, gave them to Phil and Ciri, and then pushed the small cart away, this time, walking very fast, Ciri felt very strange, looking at the clay figure in his hand, pretending to put it in his pocket, when he squatted down to tie his shoes, he quietly put it on the ground, and then stepped on it with his foot, buried in the thick snow, Phil did not find Ciri's small movements, Phil gently put the little clay figure in his pocket, but this little clay man, but something happened, A very scary thing.

In the evening, it was late, Ciri and Phil returned home, and Ciri, as usual, shoveled poop, fed the cats, and cooked cat meals. Ciri suddenly looked at Phil and said; "Please also please, I'll do me a favor in a while, I'll give the cat a bath, and then you will hold the steamed bun, and I'll cut the nails of the steamed bun." Phil hummed softly, Ciri quickly picked up the steamed bun and quickly put it into the cat bag, looking at it a veteran, Phil asked Ciri suspiciously; "Why do you have to put it up? Will the steamed buns feel more uncomfortable? Ciri lowered his head, and without raising his head, he said;" It's okay, you hold it tightly, the steamed buns are affordable and obedient. ”

Phil had no choice but to do so, the steamed bun was really obedient, and there was no fuss, Ciri cut her nails very gently, and the room was very quiet, only the sound of nail clippers was heard. "Okay, come over here and put a basin of water." Phil helped Ciri wash the cat together, and in the process, the steamed buns were very obedient and didn't make much trouble. The two of them helped each other, and soon they were ready, and Ciri said to Phil: "It's not early, you go and get ready to rest first, I'll go back to rest after I'm done with the rest, by the way, where did you put that clay figurine?" ”

Phil said, "I put it on that windowsill first, why do you suddenly remember that clay figure?" There's still something out of order. If you want thoughts and scruples, you have to speak up, do you know? In this way, we can face and solve it together, and many times you don't have to take full responsibility. ”

"Oh, it's fine, I'm not very sleepy, you put it by the window, right? Oh, that's fine. I just think it's a little weird, I see you're quite tired today, you go wash and sleep first. "Ciri is going to break Phil and throw the clay figurines out.

"Isn't that right? What the hell are you trying to say? Is there anything you can't say? Phil looked at Ciri, with an expression that seemed to have something, and he refused to say anything, and Phil felt that Ciri must be worried about something.

Ciri smiled casually and said, "It's nothing, it may be the reason why I think too much, you go to sleep, I'll give the steamed buns a good medicine in a while, and I'll go upstairs to rest first, you go up first." ”

Phil walked to the window, picked up the clay figure, looked at it carefully and repeatedly in his hand, and then said casually: "Look at this clay figure, do you think it feels very realistic?" I feel a lot like the little kid I saw in the hospital today. ”

Ciri suddenly chuckled in her heart, and then asked with a sick face, "Oh, so you remember that little child, that little child?" Ciri deliberately raised her voice.

"That kid at the time, we met at the top of the stairs, how was it? Doesn't it look realistic? At least I think it's quite like that. Phil didn't seem to have noticed what Heary was saying.

"You seem to be really sluggish, you said the little kid you met at the staircase of the hospital. Do you think it's realistic? If so, you remember. So, for now, please take a good look at all the clay figurines. Ciri put on a nonchalant look, took another sip of water, and said slowly.

"Why don't you remember? I'm not an old man again. And there is no amnesia either. Phil still didn't find out. Ciri's heart suddenly spit out a mouthful of old blood, why is there such a dull person in the world?

Since Phil has not yet noticed and reacted, Ciri doesn't want to tell him directly, because she feels that she should always be vigilant, so she plans to prompt Phil at once.

"Still don't you notice? Well, let me tell you in advance, at the staircase of the hospital, you saw a child. Then the little kid had a grudge on his face, and there was a bloody hole in his forehead, and then, all of a sudden, there was a sweeping aunt, and then she said the story of the child, and here we left, and then when you came out, you were knocked down by an old man, and he gave us two, one of us and a small clay figurine, and he left. ”

"So, if you look at your clay figurine now, and then look at that little child, I should say think again, because what I can't see now, I don't want to see." After Ciri finished speaking, he looked at Phil, whose expression looked very unnatural.

Then he looked at the little clay figure in his hand, and suddenly felt a trace of bloody horror. At this time, Ciri walked over slowly, put a hand on Phil's shoulder, and said unhurriedly: "You don't have to worry, and me, you will leave this person to me to deal with, really, it's not early, you go wash and sleep first, sleep well, there are no worries, everything will pass, and you can't solve it without sleeping." Ciri comforted Phil.

"I suddenly felt terrible, I felt very scary, it was just, you didn't remind me just now, I haven't found out, so what should I do now? I still feel panicked. Phil looked at the sticky man in his hand.

"I've said it, you don't have to think about anything, haha, and then you wake up tomorrow and nothing has happened. Leave this clay figure to me. Ciri said as she took the clay figure from Phil's hand, urging Phil to go to bed quickly.

Phil walked upstairs slowly, and the clay figure in Ciri's hand was more or less at a loss. What to do with this clay figurine? What does this clay figure have to do with that child? What's the connection between them? How do you feel so many weird things during this time.

Ciri didn't know what was strange, but he felt uncomfortable when he saw the clay figure, and directly told him that the clay figure shouldn't exist.

So Ciri took out scissors, tweezers, toothpicks and tongs, and also prepared candles and lighters, and some hot water, and Ciri first lit the candle, and then used tweezers, clamped the wire, put the wire on the candle, and put the little red wire on the clay figure.

This clay figure is himself and Phil, in the east building of the hospital, the child who met at the staircase, Ciri still remembers very clearly, the child, with his head down, has a deep wound in the upper left corner of his forehead, which should have been caused by something, the expression on his face is very strange, and he can't see his eyes, which makes people feel even more terrifying, so don't think about this yet. As the saying goes, I don't want to do it, and since I don't feel troubled, Ciri doesn't know what to do.

But I don't know what's going on, suddenly my heart is horizontal, and I directly put the red-hot wire on the forehead of the clay man, and Ciri suddenly felt a little strange feeling in my heart, and I don't know what's going on, so I put the whole clay figure directly into the hot water, and then cut it little by little with scissors.

Then I poured it into a bag, I didn't even want that bowl, I packed it in a black garbage bag and threw it out, what the hell is going on?

I have never felt so stupid before, and I hope nothing will happen, Ciri is not sleepy at all now, and the steamed bun is also with his master, lying quietly beside the master, Ciri reached out to touch his cat, the steamed bun made a purring sound, and Ciri suddenly smiled on his face.

I looked at the time on my phone, it was already midnight, but I still didn't want to sleep, my heart was getting more and more anxious, maybe I was too anxious, I knew that nothing happened? Ciri was now struggling to comfort herself.

At this time, Ciri, suddenly heard movement upstairs, so he hugged the cat and walked upstairs to have a look, but the sound became louder and louder, Ciri suddenly tensed, picked up the broom casually, and slowly walked forward, could it be the wind? Because I live alone for a long time, maybe the house is too big, and there will be some other sounds, right?

Ciri walked into the room, knocked on the door a few times, and then I heard no answer inside, and thought to myself, is this asleep?

Ciri was about to open the door and go in to see what was going on, but found that the door was so locked that it couldn't be opened from the outside, so Ciri had to knock a few times, but there was no movement in the room.

Ciri was nervous and anxious all of a sudden, could something happen? But I don't know what's going on, and I can't get into the room now, and Ciri is very anxious.

Suddenly, something seemed to come to mind.

Yes, the crack in the door, because at that time, I had met a thief abroad, burglary, and then in order to prevent things from happening again, I deliberately left the crack in the door very high, Ciri was not sure what was going on inside, and I didn't dare to lie down to take a look, so I had to take out a small mirror from the bathroom, and looked at the things in the room in the mirror, and found that there was a pair of legs in the room!! The legs are very thin, not Phil's anyway, Phil's legs are very long, but they are also very strong, such thin legs must not be.

When Ciri saw such a scene, she felt like she was about to scare herself to death, who was it in? What about Phil now?

Ciri was very anxious, but he couldn't open the door, so he hurriedly found the toolbox, found the spare key, and immediately opened the door, and the door was pushed open at once, with a very loud bang.

It turned out that the windows were not closed, the wind was blowing the curtains and humming, and the room was a mess, with paper and books thrown on the floor. There is no one else, is it because I am dazzled and wrong?

Phil was lying on the bed in a good manner, Ciri was relieved to see it, although he occasionally felt stupid and dull like a pig, but he was still very reliable at a critical time, and he was also very gentle and careful, but suddenly broke into the life, Ciri didn't know what kind of self to face, let alone what kind of feelings to look at Phil, Phil said to himself, has really shaken himself.

Ciri closed the window first, and immediately there was no sound, and then the curtains were drawn, and he gently closed the door and left, and went downstairs to check all the doors and windows, and made sure that they were all closed and locked, and went upstairs to the room, and picked up all the books and papers scattered on the floor one by one.

When he bent down and got up, he suddenly noticed that Phil's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, but it was winter. It's impossible to sweat so much, plus there is no heating in the house, and there is no air conditioning, according to the current time and temperature, you won't sweat.

Still sick?

Ciri immediately wet a towel, wrung out the water, and gently wiped the sweat from Phil's forehead, intending to wake her up, so he gently shook Phil, but there was no response.

"Clay man, kid." When Ciri was about to go out to get the thermometer, he heard Phil muttering, so he stopped and listened carefully, and listened several times, until he finally heard clearly.

It's a clay figure, a child.

What the? Clay? Child? What the hell happened, anyway, what is ruled out now is that Phil is normal and not sick, but it seems to be in a dream, something happened in the dream, it must be.

There must have been some nightmare, and Ciri gently picked up the cat and sat down on the chair by herself, playing games to kill time.

Phil: This is dreaming.

But this dream is very real. After a while, Ciri felt bored, but the more sweat came out of Phil's head, the more often Ciri wiped the sweat and put it on Phil's forehead.

Does these two days have anything to do with that clay figure? Ciri thought carefully.

The key is to think of such a legend:

There are a lot of dead people, they all have their own stories, because of various reasons, people die or unnatural death, want to die but don't want to die, suicide or other killing, but for various reasons unwilling to reincarnate, will become evil spirits, you in order to surpass them, you make a clay figure, every day is offering incense, surpass them, let them get out as soon as possible, but there are some evil spirits, born to be bad, or because the resentment is too deep, their grievances have not been ordinary, and they are unwilling to accept, So there's always going to come out and make trouble and get people into trouble.

Although it is a legend and superstition, but the older generation says so, but what is the way to crack it? Ciri himself didn't believe much, because he had never been superstitious about ghosts and gods, nor did he believe in the power of gods, and the Western Elysium in Buddhism, he had never believed only in his own power and only in his own morality.

But when I think about it, I feel wrong again, I still remember that the cleaning aunt said that the child was pushed down by his stepfather and fell to death, why did he entangle Phil, but why did the cleaning aunt know? Probably because when I was sweeping the floor at that time, I may have seen it by accident, after all, the hospital is a place to test human nature, and it is also a witness to joys and sorrows, life and death.

"Heri, run, be careful..." Phil was shouting something in a daze, and Ciri immediately lay down beside Phil and whispered in his ear: "It's okay, everything will pass, I've been there." ”

Clay? What the hell is going on? Ciri immediately rushed downstairs, opened the door and ran out.
