Jiang Wang walked out of the office and handed the brown paper bag in his hand to the lawyer.

"The relevant materials have been put inside."

"Doctor Jiang, hard work." The lawyer got up and took it, and then turned sideways to face Yang Yufen who was standing aside, "If you can, I hope that your information about Ms. Yang can be prepared as soon as possible." ”

“Ofcourse.” Yang Yufen took Hao Linlin's hand and looked at Hao Yunlai opposite, "Lailai, then Linlin has been living with me for the past two days." ”

Hao Linlin opened his big black eyes and stared at Hao Yunlai motionlessly.

Hao Yunlai took two steps forward, squatted in front of Hao Linlin, and touched his soft short brown-yellow hair from front to back, "Linlin, listen to your mother obediently." ”

Hao Linlin nodded, squeezing out his fleshy double chin.

Hao Yunlai squatted and moved to the edge of the sofa, lay down the suitcase he was carrying, unzipped the not very smooth, and took out Lin Lin's duffel bag from inside. When Mrs. Zhou's house received a call from Yang Yufen, she expected that today's separation from Hao Linlin would be inevitable.

Hao Yunlai knows better than anyone that she is like a virus carrier, and she doesn't know when she will spread bad luck to others. Since realizing this, she has deliberately avoided interacting with people too much for more than a decade. Say goodbye today, when Hao Linlin settles overseas with his mother, and see this younger brother again, I am afraid it will be the Year of the Monkey.

"Thankyou, then let's go back first." Yang Yufen took the duffel bag in Hao Yunlai's hand and led Hao Linlin out of the door.

When he reached the door frame, Hao Linlin turned his head and waved his hand at Hao Yunlai, "Sister, goodbye!" ”

Hao Yunlai smiled gently at Hao Linlin.

"Goodbye."

Or never again.

"Let's go too." Jiang Wang's light voice sounded in his ears.

"Huh? Where to? ”

"Sending you home."

Hao Yunlai waved his hand again and again, "No, no, I'll just go home and take the bus, there is a direct one." ”

"Let's drop by."

Hao Yunlai was dumbfounded, "Then, I'm sorry for you." ”

However, she never mentioned her residence, how did Jiang Wang come to the conclusion that the two were on the way?

Frowning and thinking, Jiang Wang had already picked up the car keys on the table and walked in front.

Maybe Chi Xi told him.

Hao Yunlai thought so, and hurriedly dragged his suitcase to follow.

***

The luxury car of great value drove smoothly on the driveway, and in the evening, the scorching summer sun seemed to be covered with a film, and it blushed and tried to break free, but in the end it only ended up sinking into the western mountain. Fortunately, the afterglow was still there, blooming into a huge red lotus, gradually spreading throughout the realm of the Western Heavens.

Legend has it that demons always prevail at the turn of day and night. Day and night, alternating at dusk, are called by the Japanese, the time of the devil.

"Anyway, can you stop at the intersection in front of you?" Hao Yunlai opened the window and looked at a neat building not far away, which was the Nanzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

"Hmm."

When Jiang Wang heard this, he didn't ask much, and after getting off lightly, he pulled over and found a shady place to stop the car.

"Just wait for me a little while." Hao Yunlai unbuckled his seat belt, picked up the black umbrella stuffed in the gap between the seat and the door, and stepped towards the earth under the red glow.

Jiang looked at his head, turned off the engine, adjusted the back of the chair to a slight downward incline, and leaned in extremely comfortably.

Hao Yunlai put on his black umbrella and walked towards the intersection south of the hospital.

The area where accidents occur frequently is not only the intersection where Mrs. Zhou was hit, but also the place where the lame man finally disappeared. Hopefully, she can get something unexpected here.

Deliberately planting flowers does not bloom.

After Hao Yunlai looked around at the south intersection for five minutes, she found nothing except that she felt that there were more people entering and leaving the hospital gate than usual, and she had to return to the car in a daze when she thought that Jiang Wang was still waiting on the side of the road.

Jiang Wang raised his eyes slightly, and saw Hao Yunlai's drooping face in the rearview mirror, looking sullen.

Hao Yunlai was about to stretch his hand to his side and pull out the seat belt, but Jiang Wang suddenly bullied him and stopped when he was about a centimeter away from her. Hao Yunlai looked up inexplicably, but met his eyes with a gentle smile.

Hao Yunlai's old face flushed, and he heard the pounding heartbeat in his chest clearly.

This man is not a big pig's trotter, this man is a curse.

In such an ambiguous alignment, Hao Yunlai couldn't help but begin to count the pores on Jiang Wang's face to stabilize his mind. However, what disappointed her was that Jiang Wang's face was delicate and there was no flaw.

The skin is so good.

Hao Yunlai lowered his eyes and praised in his heart.

Jiang Wang hooked the corners of his mouth, and pulled out the seat belt to tie it for her according to Hao Yunlai's action just now.

"What's wrong? Look at your unhappy face? After fastening his seat belt, Jiang Wang returned to his position, and the light breath brought by the first few words sprayed on Hao Yunlai's face.

"Huh? No, nothing. Hao Yunlai replied in a panic.

As soon as he finished speaking, a man limped out from behind the green belt not far away.

Unintentionally planted willows and willows.

Hao Yunlai leaned forward, half wary and half surprised to look at the person in front of him.

The man was wearing a navy blue jacket and trousers, with a full beard and a wide hat brim that was lowered so that the whole face was hidden behind camouflage, it was the lame man who quietly disappeared into Qi Zhan's car not long ago, and he was also a mysterious existence that looked the same as the son of the old lady Zhou, he walked forward with a little difficulty, stopped when he reached the middle of the lane, and waved to them slowly, seeing that this should mean that he wanted them to help give them a ride.

Jiang Shang started the vehicle slowly, drove into the central lane and drove forward at a constant speed. After a while, the front of the car gradually approached the man, but Jiang Wang was not ready to brake at all.

Hao Yunlai said anxiously, "Can't you see that man?!" ”

"I can see it."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Wang bumped into the man without hesitation.

Hao Yunlai was suddenly startled, then closed his eyes deadly, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his heart, from how to recall the current scene in front of the police to begging for forgiveness from the victim's family in tears.

However, without waiting for the expected huge impact after hitting someone, Hao Yunlai opened her eyes in surprise, and saw a straight and flat avenue, she hurriedly twisted her neck behind her, and through the rear window, she found that there was nothing.

"What about the man?"

"He's not human."

"Huh?" Hao Yunlai sat up straight, recalling that it was noon, when it was clear that Qi Zhan had also seen this man.

As if he could see through what Hao Yunlai was wondering at a glance, Jiang Wang made the point clear.

"Today is the Midyear Festival."

Midyear Festival?! Then it all makes sense.

In the middle of July, the Midyear Festival, the only day of the year, ordinary people can also see the dead who have not entered the Yellow Spring and wandered in the world. The corner of the alley, the end of the Douban world, in which the virtual and real things often come from this day.

It's just—

"Doctor Jiang, where did you tell that he wasn't human?"

"I met him last year." Jiang Wang slowed down and turned left.

Jiang Wang said that he remembered that during the Midyear Festival last year, the sky was not as clear as today, and thin rains fell in the air from time to time. Because of the new progress in the information found by his friend, he hurried to Nanzhou. At that time, the green belt on both sides of the lane was still a well-manicured arborvitae bush, and the man appeared as he drove down the rainy Second Avenue. He waved to the side of the road with his back bent, as if he wanted to stop the roadside car, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier, but fortunately he was wearing a wide-brimmed fisherman's hat, and his hair should not have been wet from the rain. Jiang Wang was about to pull over to give him a ride, but someone stopped first, and the man on the side of the road immediately dragged one leg into the car door.

Jiang Wang, who lost the opportunity to help others but was also happy, silently turned on the turn signal, drove the car back to the left lane, and before he could go far, he suddenly heard a loud noise, and through the rearview mirror, he saw that the van that had just carried the man on the side of the road hit the guardrail straight into the guardrail.

After reacting, Jiang Wang hurriedly pulled the car aside and rushed to the van to check the injuries of the people in the car. Strangely, there was no one else in the car except for a driver whose head hit the front glass of the car.

"And then?"

"Later, I went to ask the monks in the famous Yuquan Temple." Jiang Wang paused for a moment, and didn't say any more, hanging Hao Yunlai's appetite.

"So, what do the enlightened monks say?"

"He advised me to bump into this man the next time I saw him."

Is this really the advice of an enlightened monk? The corners of Hao Yunlai's mouth twitched uncontrollably a few times, "What if I meet a real person this time?" ”

"It won't be a real person."

"Why?" Hao Yunlai was very curious about the reason why Jiang Wang was so sure.

"No reason, just believe me."

Hao Yunlai glanced suspiciously at the man who was holding the steering wheel.

"Don't look at it, if you look at it again, your eyeballs will fall out." Jiang Wang felt the gaze that had been glued to his face, and couldn't help but speak jokingly.

Hao Yunlai hurriedly withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes and fiddled with his hands on his knees.

"Were you upset just because of that man?" Seeing that Hao Yunlai didn't say anything more, Jiang Wang started talking again.

Hao Yunlai nodded.

"That's really sad, I didn't expect you to be thinking about another man."

Hao Yunlai raised his head and stared at Jiang Wang with more and more puzzlement.

"Turn left over here and you'll be at your house, right?"

Seeing the familiar scene around him, Hao Yunlai nodded, "Hmm." ”

As night draws on, the barber shop around the corner lights up with a neon sign on the door in the enduring red and blue color, and turn left at this intersection and you'll see three malnourished osmanthus trees in a tree pool. After counting the three osmanthus trees, the security room of Hao Yunlai's community will appear in view.

One.

Two trees.

Three.

Four trees.

What about the security room?

Hao Yunlai looked at the endless pitch-black road ahead planted with countless osmanthus flowers in disbelief, and looked at the man beside him with a frightened expression.

"Who are you?!"
