Chapter 7: The Ghost Lingers

I may have fallen for it!

No, I'm evil! The girl who helped me buy the lottery ticket was always haunted by me.

My company is at an intersection, opposite a large boiler factory, next to the intersection on the right, the gate is a little to the left, and there is a bus stop with only an iron sign.

There is also a zebra crossing between the bus stop and the intersection.

Because it is an industrial area, the company has its own canteen.

The cafeteria is on the third floor, half in the building and half on the platform on the third floor, full of tables and chairs.

The noon break was 2 hours, the weather was good, and after eating, many people were basking in the sun on the balcony.

I stood on the balcony on the third floor, leaning on the railing and looking down.

"Anning, what are you looking at?"

Mina patted me on the shoulder, she had been sitting at a round table with other colleagues, discussing something.

"Didn't see anything!"

I shook my head and smiled wryly, and the girl appeared again, standing under the iron sign at the bus stop, with her head down, standing there stunned.

She has been following me for half a month, either hanging downstairs where I live, or clubbing outside the company where I work.

"Are you also worried about the fact that the company has not paid your salary?"

Mina, with an expression of "I understand you", patted me on the shoulder:

"This company is really going to collapse, there is no help, and the salary will not be paid!"

"Didn't you get paid?"

That's when I realized that today is March 1st.

Our company is a mortgage and a pay, at the end of each month, pay the previous month's salary.

I was busy checking my bank account, and sure enough, the balance was only 2.8 yuan.

Today is Friday, and I only have this 2.8 yuan in my body.

What can I do? Do you eat dirt at home on weekends?

"What have you been up to lately?"

Mina looked at me with a look of ignorance and shook her head:

"The dark circles under your eyes are so serious, did you go to work part-time at night?"

"Why haven't you been paid yet?"

I shook my head and denied it, and now, I am really poor.

"How do I know, we were still talking!"

Mina spread her hands and shrugged her shoulders with an expression of you asking me, who am I going to ask.

It's over, I can only buy steamed buns for 2 yuan on the weekend, and I'm making do with it.

In the past few days, I can't eat and sleep well because of this girl, and my whole person is on the verge of collapse.

Han Yunduo, who said that I would contact her if there was anything abnormal, did not answer the phone and did not reply to WeChat.

I went to her hospital twice and asked her, and both said that she had gone abroad to study, and she would be back in mid-March at the earliest.

If you don't leave early or late, you just go abroad at this juncture.

"An Ning, come here, we have something to discuss with you!"

Mina pulled me along and led me to the group of colleagues.

When my colleagues saw me passing, they immediately gathered around me, and it took me a while before I understood what they were saying.

It turned out that it was Mina who told the others about my lottery win.

Now, as soon as the company cuts salaries, second, does not allow people to leave, and third, delays in salary payments, some people in the company begin to use their brains.

The leader is Mina.

She pulled some people and set up a small group, ready for everyone to pool money to buy lottery tickets together, and share the jackpot together.

"An Ning, you can join us, with your fairy luck, maybe, we can get rid of poverty and become rich at one time"

Mina looked at me with a twinkle in her eyes, as did everyone else.

"Still not, my zodiac sign, water retrograde in March!"

I immediately refused, and took out my horoscope attribute in March as a shield, and after some explanation, they dispelled the idea of pulling me into the gang.

When I got off work at night, Mina, who didn't give up, kept pulling me to lobby from the time she left the company.

"My luck is really average, I don't lie to you!"

I don't even know how to explain to her, that lottery ticket was not bought by me.

"10 yuan, for 1000 yuan, 100 times the reward!"

The intersection was red, and Mina and I stood next to the zebra crossing in front of the company and started to count the weights with me.

"I'll tell you the truth, I didn't buy that lottery ticket, someone else bought it for me!"

Mina seemed determined to entangle me and pull me in, and that's all I could explain.

"Then can you pull her into our group, or introduce her to me!"

I looked at Mina, who was still not giving up, shook my head, left her, and went on my own.

On the other side of the zebra crossing, the girl reappeared, and this time, she followed me, and asked in a low voice:

"Do you need to buy a lottery ticket?"

I didn't even dare to turn my head to look at her, so I spread my feet and ran forward.

In the past few days, although she has been beside me, she has always stood there with her head bowed and motionless, and it is the first time she has followed me like today.

The fear that had already calmed me down immediately came back, and regardless of it, I ran to the entrance of the subway station in one go.

"Anning, you-you wait for me!"

Mina gasped and chased after me, both of us, both leaning against the wall, panting and staring wide-eyed.

"Did you hit a ghost? Run so fast! ”

"I remember, I'm in a hurry!"

After a short break, I immediately looked around, but fortunately, she didn't chase after her.

"What are you looking for?"

Mina looked at me and was a little angry:

"Isn't it just for you to introduce the great god to me, if you don't want to, you don't want to, what to run!"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't!"

I wanted to tell Mina the truth, but I was afraid that if I did, she would think I was lying to her.

"If you don't want to, you don't want to, where are so many reasons?"

Mina didn't believe my words, snorted coldly, turned around and left:

"An Ning, I didn't expect you to be such a selfish person!"

How can I be selfish?

Such a scary thing, if you want to bump into it, I'll give it to you, okay?

"If you can ask her to buy me one, no, two lottery tickets, I'll forgive you!"

Mina, who had been walking ahead in a huff, saw that I hadn't caught up, so she ran back to me and haggled with me with her fingers outstretched.

"No way!"

I refused, I didn't even know what it was!

"Why are you like this, are we still good friends?"

Mina looked complaining, and immediately changed her tactics, pulling my arm and coquettishly:

"An Ning, please, you can help me!"

"I'm a woman, does being coquettish work for me?"

I looked at Mina with a serious face, it has been 5 years since I went to work, Mina is the first friend I met when I came here, and it is also the friend I take the most care of in this city.

"An Ning, I'm serious, I really have no choice!"

Mina didn't give up, all kinds of ** streams were staged, crying for a while, making trouble for a while, she and I stood at the entrance of the subway until it was dark outside, and the two of them were still entangled.

"I'll tell you the truth, it wasn't bought by anyone at all!"

I was going to be driven crazy by her and told her the truth.

"You make up stories, can you make them up decently?"

Mina didn't believe it, and sure enough, she thought I was lying to her.

"You can help her, and I, I can help you!"

Behind me, there was a hoarse female voice, and my scalp exploded in an instant, and my face turned white with a brush.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you shaking? ”

Mina, who grabbed my arm and didn't let go, immediately sensed that something was wrong with me.

"Can you help me see, is there anyone behind me?"

My voice trembled, and my hands gripped Mina's arm.

Today, the weather was nice, and I was wearing a long green tweed coat.

"No one!"

Sure enough, Mina couldn't see anything.

"Look at the clothes on my back, is there something wrong?"

I'm completely stupid right now, my feet are stuck in place, and I can't move a penny.

"Why are your clothes bulging?"

Mina walked around behind me and asked suspiciously.

I knew it was so, because I could clearly feel that the girl was tugging at the corners of my clothes.

"How strange!"

Mina lifted the back half of my tweed coat directly, and there was nothing inside, but when she put it down, it still bulged unnaturally.

"Don't you think it's scary?"

I was in a cold sweat on my head, and I forced myself to look back, and sure enough, the girl was standing behind me, tugging at the corner of my clothes, and grinning at me.

"What's the horror, your coat is so hard!"

Mina gave me a blank look, put her hand directly on my coat, tucked it from the back to the end of it, and hummed and complained:

"I told you, this kind of bargain is not good, you still don't believe it!"

"Behind you, someone!"

I saw the girl, like a weightless mist, floating behind Mina, her face, right next to Mina's right ear, with bulging eyes, staring at Mina's face, motionless.

"You don't lie, I'm an atheist!"

Mina turned her head to see that her face was directly against the girl's face, and even overlapped in the process of turning.

"She's going to have an accident, don't you want to save her?"

The girl's hands were placed on Mina's shoulders, and I saw her move up a distance, and her head was pressed directly on top of Mina's head.

"Ouch, I'm twisting my neck!"

Mina immediately covered her neck and shouted.

I was already stunned, and I froze in place, looking at the girl, stuck on Mina's body, and those originally godless eyes began to shine.

"Go away!"

I don't know where I got the courage, so I grabbed the bag on my shoulder and hit it, but fortunately, the girl immediately floated to the side before my backpack touched her.

"Why are you hitting me?"

Mina covered her head and looked at me in confusion.

"Run!"

Before the girl could make the next move, I picked up Mina, abandoned the elevator, and ran straight up the stairs to the subway station.
