The bracelet that fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and something like an eye inside was tightly closed.

How did this thing end up here?

I leaned over and picked it up, my fingers rubbing it, and after so much time I forgot where I had put it.

When Jiang Qin gave it to me at that time, he just wanted Fang Yi to know where I was all the time, but at that time, I didn't do what Jiang Qin said.

Is this thing still useful now?

I put it back in the box, and finally I put it in my bag before leaving.

-

Lin Zhonglin's home, I have hardly been there, where is it... I don't remember exactly, but it seems to be just a short distance from my house.

I looked at it as I walked, this piece has changed for decades, there are still many old houses, rich people have moved away, and those who have no money can only reorganize the old houses and continue to live.

Now that I think about it, but my house is not far from Lin Zhonglin's house... It seems that Lin Zhonglin also told me this.

Rows of multi-storey buildings, the gate of the community here is not curfew or anything, it is open.

I walked into a random neighborhood, and there was no one in the doorman's room, with a big lock on the door, and the windows were blurred, so there must be no one staying here.

In the community, I occasionally met an elderly person who walked by, and he walked with difficulty, as if he had the sequelae of a stroke.

I wanted to ask no one, but I walked around the neighborhood and didn't meet anyone.

Is there no one living in this community?

It was hot, so I hid in the shade of a tree to rest for a while.

The phone rang at this time, and when I saw it, it was Fang Yi.

"I'm here at my house."

"When will you be back?" Fang asked.

"For a moment."

"I'll pick you up"

"No ......"

Before I could finish my sentence, the phone was hung up.

I simply sat on the side, could Lin Zhonglin not live here anymore? I haven't been in touch with her for a long time.

I sat under the tree for about ten minutes, and the old man who had suffered a stroke at the entrance of the community just now walked in front of me.

I stared at her like this, and she seemed to notice me and wanted to see me, but her movements were uncoordinated, and her head seemed to be unable to turn, and she only slowed down.

She slowly stood there, and I was stunned, she wasn't going to faint, was she?

I saw that there was no one around, got up and walked over, turned my head and asked softly, "Auntie?" You okay? ”

She heard it, her eyes squinting at me, and she couldn't speak clearly.

I looked up at the sky, and this afternoon, it was getting more and more stuffy, like it was going to rain.

"I see, or I'd better send you back...",

As soon as I turned my head, the person in front of me was gone!

Ay?

I looked around, where was the person just now? An old man who has had a stroke can disappear in an instant?!

At this moment, above the shade of the tree where I had just stayed, there was a sudden thunderclap, and a scorching gas floated from the place where I had just sit.

"You're looking for me?"

The voice came from the fourth floor, and it was Lin Zhonglin.

I looked up at her, her hair hanging down on both sides, her face was flush, and she looked like a ghost.

I frowned: "I'm going home, and I'm going to see you by the way." ”

"Oh, that's... Are you coming up? Lin Zhonglin asked.

I hesitated for a moment, but went up anyway.

-

Walking to the fourth floor, the door is ajar, it should be this one.

I knocked on the door and slowly pushed it open, and the room was a little old, but it was clean.

This is the first time I've been to Lim Chung Lam's home.

After entering the door, I didn't see anyone, only a glass of white water on the coffee table.

After a while, Lin Zhonglin came out of the kitchen, holding a fruit bowl with both hands, and inside the plate were sliced apples.

"Sit down."

"Yes, okay."

"Would you like to drink water or eat fruit?" Lin Zhonglin stood in front of me, I looked up and smiled: "You can sit down too." ”

Lin Zhonglin didn't squeak, but still stood to look at me, and after a while, she sat opposite me and looked at me: "You just came to see me?" ”

I nodded: "I haven't seen you in a long time, how are you doing?" ”

She seemed to see that I was relaxed, and she also relaxed, and suddenly talked about school: "Are you already planning to give up your studies?" ”

I was stunned: "No." ”

"However, you haven't been to school for a long time, and the teacher still asks you, and I don't know what to say."

I frowned: "I went to school some time ago and talked to the teacher, but... I don't think I'll be able to get into graduate school myself. ”

Lin Zhonglin began to stare at me silently again, and she stopped talking.

"I'll go to the bathroom."

"Over there." Lin Zhonglin pointed.

I took the opportunity to look around the house, and her bathroom was small enough to fit one person.

I looked at the sink, there was only a toothbrush, a towel, a comb, and a cracked square mirror on the sink.

How can it all be alone? Isn't this Lim Jong-lin's home?

After going out, there was no one in the living room, and Lin Zhonglin was no longer where she was sitting just now.

"Zhong Lin?"

I called a few times, but no one answered, and walked into two bedrooms that were connected to each other, each of which was about the same size, the only difference was that one had a window and the other had no window.

In the windowless room, a ventilation fan is installed in the high corner of the house, so you can imagine how dark the light of the house is.

I stood at the door of this room for a long time before I walked in, a bed, a wooden wardrobe, a wooden desk, when I looked up, there was no light installed on the roof, but there was a bed with neatly stacked cups and a pillow on the bed, and there were many books on the desk, I knew those books, and I also had a set of books like that, so this room was undoubtedly Lin Zhonglin's.

But, how can Lin Zhonglin live in such a house, there is no light, there is not even a lamp on the desk, how does she read?

The ventilation fan kept turning, the light flowed quickly from the fan blades, I looked up, squinted at the light, looked at the room, slowly walked to the position of the desk, and flipped Lin Zhonglin's book casually, but in the mezzanine of the book, I found half of the residual paper, which did not seem to be paper, like a photo, and was buckled.

The light in the room was too dim, and I was just about to look at the photo backwards, when Lin Zhonglin suddenly appeared at the door and called my name: "Bei Nuan!"

Her scream startled me.

"What are you doing?" She asked seriously.

I closed the book and had to walk out: "I didn't do anything, I just couldn't find you after I came out of the bathroom, so I went into the room and had a look." ”

"What were you looking at?" She asked again.

I pointed, "It's your graduate school entrance examination book..."

Lin Zhonglin staggered my shoulder and looked in, in such a dark room, Lin Zhonglin's vision seemed to be much better than mine, she retracted her gaze: "That's not a postgraduate book, it's a magazine." ”

I was stunned: "Really? It's so dark inside that I can't see anything, maybe I'm mistaken. ”

Lin Zhonglin finally stopped worrying about what I was looking at just now, and turned around and walked to the sofa to sit.

"Are you the only one living here?" I asked.

"No, and my mom."

Lin Zhonglin picked up the apple and ate it, her body was straight, and she always felt that she was meticulous in eating.

"She usually doesn't come back until it's dark." Lin Zhonglin added.

I nodded, to be honest, although I have lived very close to Lin Zhonglin since I was a child, I have never met Lin Zhonglin's parents, and every year when the parent-teacher conference is held, Lin Zhonglin seems to have disappeared, at that time I still wondered, she studied well, should not be afraid of the parent-teacher conference, I didn't think so much at the time, now I think about it, I have known Lin Zhonglin for so many years, I have never met Lin Zhonglin's parents, she often sees my mother.

At this time, the mobile phone in my pocket suddenly rang, it was Fang Qi, I glanced at Lin Zhonglin, and hung up the phone.

"I've left beforehand, let's talk another day."

"Did Fang come looking for you?"

Lin Zhonglin put down the apple and stopped eating, and stood up: "If you don't say it, I know that in my family, there is nothing I don't know." ”

I frowned, why does that sound weird?

"Well, then I'm leaving."

I walked in the door and was about to open the door, when Lin Zhonglin said, "If you want to see my mother, you have to come at night, but she may not come back every night." ”

Can she really guess what I think?

I couldn't help but look back at her, "I just came to see you, and I'm leaving." ”

Lin Zhonglin didn't do much to stay, the moment I closed the door, I quickly ran downstairs, ran to the staircase, walked out, felt the breath of temperature, and suddenly realized that on this hot day, Lin Zhonglin's house doesn't seem to have air conditioning, right? Then why isn't it hot for her to marry at all?

I glanced back, and there was a cool air in my face, and I couldn't help but shiver, and I was afraid, so I hurriedly ran out.

-

Fang Qi's car was parked outside this community, and when he saw me running out, he pushed the door open for me from the inside.

"Aren't you going home? How did you get here? Fang Yi asked as he turned around.

"I feel that Lin Zhonglin is weird, Wu Jing told me that he has seen Lin Zhonglin and Yu Yingman together several times."

"What did Wu Jing say?" Fang asked.

I nodded: "I made an appointment with Wu Jing today, I wanted to inquire about some things about Yu Yingman through Grandpa Wu, but I learned some about Lin Zhonglin, when I first went to her house, I felt that she was living alone, and everything in the house was a person, including cups, and toiletries, etc., in short, I felt very uncomfortable in her house, the house was very small and old, the point was that she seemed to be out of nowhere, and she also told me that she and her mother only went home at night, even if she went home at night, Then you can't just put all kinds of supplies for one person in the house, right? ”

I stared at the fourth floor where Lin Zhonglin lived, "The strangest thing, the room she lives in has no windows, it's quite dark, there is only a ventilation fan, I never knew that she actually lived in such a room, do you say it's not uncomfortable for a living person to live in it?" ”

"There is either something wrong with her lifestyle habits, or... It wasn't people who lived with her. ”

Fang Yi said lightly.

I looked tense and turned my head to look at Fang Yi: "Won't it?" ”
