Hao Linlin hid under the desk and covered his eyes with both hands.

"I can't see ...... Can't see ......"

Hao Yunlai stood at the door and spoke in surprise.

"Since when?"

Lin Hongmei worriedly held her husband Hao Guofeng's arm.

"When I came home last Friday, something was wrong. I was supposed to make a lot of trouble, but I didn't say a word that day, I just thought it was because I didn't buy him toys and had a temper with me, so I coaxed him to sleep early. Who knew that when I woke up the next day, I would become like this. ”

Lin Hongmei didn't say a few words, and her eyes began to turn red again.

Hao Yunlai looked bored, walked to the desk and squatted down, and said softly to the balls of meat that were shrunk into a ball.

"Lin Lin, don't be afraid, my sister is here."

The clear milk sound penetrated Hao Linlin's ears, and he grabbed Hao Yunlai's hand and dragged her under the table.

"Sister, that strange woman has been looking at Lin Lin, Lin Lin is so scared."

"Where's that woman? Sister helps you run her away. ”

Hao Linlin stretched out his fingers and pointed to his right hand tremblingly.

"In ...... In bed. ”

Hao Yunlai looked at the bed, which was empty except for the neatly laid quilt. She frowned, and turned around to comfort Hao Linlin in confusion.

"Lin Lin come out, that woman has already left."

Hao Yunlai walked outside the desk and stretched out his hand to pull Hao Linlin out.

Hao Linlin looked at the gentle smile on Hao Yunlai's face, turned his head in disbelief, and a miserable white woman's face instantly appeared in front of him, and the place that originally belonged to the eyes was replaced by two holes, dripping with blood drop by drop. Hao Linlin was so frightened that he covered his eyes again.

"Go away! Go away! ”

A crying roar hit Hao Yunlai's eardrums, she rubbed her temples, got up and walked in front of Hao Guofeng and Lin Hongmei.

"It may be paranoia, it's better to see a psychiatrist."

Lin Hongmei grabbed Hao Yunlai's hand and looked stunned.

"Lailai, your uncle and I are usually busy with work, and we have taken several days off for this child, and now we can't get out of it to take him to the doctor. You have experience in this area, can you please take Lin Lin to have a look? ”

The woman in front of her had already put away her tears, and her pupils were a light that could not be concealed. Hao Yunlai glanced at Hao Guofeng, who was standing aside and looking away, without saying a word, and sneered in his heart.

"Then I'll take Lin Lin to live with me for a few days."

Lin Hongmei patted the back of Hao Yunlai's hand.

"Ouch! Thanks to your big niece! ”

Hao Yunlai withdrew his hand and walked back to Hao Linlin's side.

"Lin Lin, do you want to go to my sister's house to play? My sister's family doesn't blame women. ”

Hao Linlin opened his swollen eyes, as if he had seen a glimmer of light in the overwhelming darkness, and suddenly felt relieved.

"Sister hug!"

Hao Yunlai stretched out his hand and opened his arms, and Hao Linlin closed his eyes tightly and threw himself in.

Seeing this, Lin Hongmei hurriedly picked up the duffel bag that had been prepared by the door and handed it to Hao Yunlai.

Hao Yunlai took it as he was accustomed to and pulled up the large suitcase he was carrying.

"Then let's go."

"Hey, be careful on the road."

It was Lin Hongmei's voice.

After seeing Hao Yunlai go out, Hao Guofeng spoke.

"Hurry up and clean this house, it's really unlucky!"

***

Hao Yunlai pushed aside the cluttered books on the table and put a laptop on it.

"Woohoo!" There was a WeChat prompt sound on the mobile phone, and Hao Yunlai unlocked it to open a dialog box with his friend Hua Lili.

- "I have a cousin who works in the Third Hospital, and he said that the Third Hospital used to have a psychiatrist, who was very famous, but he went out to work alone not long ago. ”

Hao Yunlai flexibly manipulated the nine-square grid keyboard, but before he could send a new message from the other party.

- "I opened a psychological counseling clinic in the west of the city, which is quite close to you. I'll send you the address. ”

Hao Yunlai deleted the typed text and sent an emoji of Xie Tengfei's waist twisting.

"Toro Psychological Counseling Center."

Hao Yunlai looked at the location icon displayed on the interface and read it silently in his heart.

- "Is my big brother Qi back?" ”

Another sentence came from the other side.

Hao Yunlai pursed his lips.

"No, the number of days that your big brother Qi didn't return at night has reached a new high."

- "Oh my God, nothing will happen to him, will he?" ”

Hao Yunlai opened the browser on his computer and replied while waiting for Baidu's web page to pop out slowly and sluggishly.

"What could happen to him? When I couldn't afford instant noodles at an internet café, I naturally came back. ”

Hao Yunlai's narrative has always been very accurate. Since the beginning of the year, Qi Zhan has not returned home at night. Hao Yunlai didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after a long time, he began to be curious. One day, Qi Zhan went out routinely, and Hao Yunlai followed him with a desire to find out. Then, she saw Qi Zhan walk into an Internet café called "Shenma" and play Plants vs. Zombies in it for an afternoon.

The other party didn't believe it, and came over with three rolls of his eyes.

- "My eldest brother Qi is wise and wise, why did you raise a white-eyed wolf like you who only knows how to damage him." ”

Baidu's homepage has been loaded, and Hao Yunlai plans to rigorously end the WeChat conversation with Hua Lili after typing the seven Chinese characters of "Donglu Psychological Counseling Institute" into the search bar.

"Pay attention to your quantifiers, a wolf, not a wolf. Moreover, don't say that I hurt him, what I said is all the truth. Let's stop talking about it, and go to do big things. ”

Hao Yunlai pressed off the phone and stared intently at the interfaces that popped up, and the content displayed on the blue computer screen was completely absorbed into her eyes.

Jiang Wang, a clinical psychologist, is an external professor at Stanford University, and his main research direction is child psychiatry......

Hao Yunlai propped his chin and nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad, good-looking."

"Nice? What tastes good? You're eating pizza behind my back again? ”

The hidden door was pushed open from the outside in, and someone stood in the doorway gilded by the warm yellow light of the living room. The goose-yellow linen shirt tucked into light blue denim trousers, and a pair of black flip-flops underneath, even if he was dressed like this, Qi Zhan still had a deadly charm, for most female creatures, of course, not including Hao Yunlai.

Hao Yunlai turned his head, stretched out his fingers, and made a "shhhhhh

Seeing Hao Yunlai's actions, Qi Zhan couldn't help but glance curiously into the room, and then saw Hao Linlin lying on the bed, and lowered his voice after realizing it.

"Oh, I really envy Sister Lai, I can sleep on the cool floor."

Hao Yunlai closed the computer and lip-shaped at Qi Zhan exaggeratedly.

"Get out!"

Qi Zhan spread his hands and took the door to the door.

In the room as if it was day, Hao Yunlai climbed onto the blanket, covered the quilt over his head, and fell into a deep sleep.

***

Jiang Wang's appointment has been scheduled for tomorrow's Christmas, but Hao Yunlai rarely has good luck, a second before she called, a consultant happened to cancel the appointment, so she successfully made an appointment on Tuesday to Thursday afternoon.

The sky was unusually clear after the typhoon.

At the end of the view is a series of metasequoias, against which a one-story building is made of pure white steel columns and large glass faces. There is a young man in front of the window wiping glass.

"Excuse me, is it the Toro Psychological Counseling Center?"

The young man turned, took the red-glowing headphones off his ears and hung them around his neck, his crimson hair braided into countless tiny dreadlocks, parting to the sides as if they were not warped. The white foam from the detergent in the middle of the glass window has been wiped away, revealing a large area of smoothness and smoothness, Hao Yunlai saw that there was a deep and shallow shadow reflected on it, and he led Hao Linlin to stand under a huge soapberry tree because of its antiquity, and the sparkling light was beating in the uneven totem of the suitcase at his feet.

After seeing the person clearly, the red-haired young man grinned, revealing his white and neat teeth.

"Is it Ms. Hao?"

Hao Yunlai nodded.

"We've been waiting for you for a long time."

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect the road to be so congested on Thursday." Hao Yunlai pulled the suitcase with her left hand tightened, her appointment time was two o'clock in the afternoon on Thursday, Gaode map showed that the distance from her home was only 5 kilometers, so she was relieved that she only went out half an hour early, thinking that it was more than enough to arrive on time, when the bus was halfway through, she remembered that her luck had always been bad, and then, she heard the vehicle dispatch message on the radio.

The young man leaned the scraper in his hand into the corner.

"It's okay, you're 28 minutes and 6 seconds late, and these will be settled in consultation time."

The corners of Hao Yunlai's mouth twitched almost invisibly.

"Come in with me." The young man stepped on the marble steps, "By the way, my name is Chi Xi, and I am a student of Jiang Wang. ”

Chixi? There is still someone surnamed Chi? Hao Yunlai thought as he lifted the suitcase with one hand.

There was a sudden light at hand, Hao Yunlai looked up, and Chi Xi, who had already walked to the door, suddenly turned back and lifted her suitcase without saying anything.

Hao Yunlai stretched out a free hand, and he was a little unaccustomed for a while, so he grabbed the black umbrella belt on his chest and followed him into the door.

The milky curtains swayed slightly in the wind, and a man sat on a camel-colored sofa next to the coffee table, with his back to them.

"Hey, here's someone." Chi Xi hugged his shoulders.

The man got up and turned, the sleeves of his white striped shirt rolled up casually at his wrists. He bowed his head lightly at Hao Yunlai, and the midsummer light outside the house seemed to soften.

He is Jiang Wang, and Hao Yunlai has seen his photos on Baidu.

"Hello Dr. Jiang."

Hao Yunlai pulled Hao Linlin forward.

"You may be seated." His fingers were white and slender, and he was pointing to the couch beside him.

"Do you have any questions?" After Hao Yunlai sat down, Jiang Wang also sat down.

Hao Linlin lowered his head and pulled his sleeves silently, seeing this, Hao Yunlai helplessly helped the thin-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"That's right, my brother started to be wrong a few days ago, he always said that there were female ghosts in the family, and he was afraid to die."

Jiang Wang picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for Hao Yunlai and Hao Linlin.

"A female ghost?"

Hao Linlin shrank back, and the immature child's voice trembled slightly.

"It's a weird aunt with no eyes."

Hao Yunlai patted Hao Linlin's back, "Doctor Jiang, is this paranoia?" ”

"'Delusional' - these three words carry a bit more weight."

"And what disease does my brother have?"

"This will not be known until the diagnosis is completed, and—" Jiang Wang's fingertips clicked on the wooden armrests on the sofa.

"This is a world full of ghosts and gods."
