Chapter 3: Sheriff Black Cat on the cover
The man outside the door saw someone open the door and hurriedly withdrew his left hand.
Lin Hongmei stood behind Hao Yunlai and tilted her head to look at the door, "Lao Li, why are you here?" β
"I heard that your kid hasn't been to cram school in a few days."
"Lin Lin has been feeling a little unwell lately." Lin Hongmei bypassed Hao Yunlai and walked in front of the man named Lao Li.
Lao Li raised the schoolbag he was carrying in his right hand, "Teacher Guo asked my daughter to help bring back your son's homework in the past few days, oh, your son didn't take his schoolbag home, and his homework is here." β
Lin Hongmei bypassed Hao Yunlai and hurriedly took it.
"One more thing, while you're at home, I have to talk to you about it. What's the matter with your son? I always cry every afternoon, and the sound insulation effect of this house is not good, he makes such a fuss, how can my daughter practice the piano. β
Lin Hongmei's expression flashed, "I'm sorry, I'll definitely train him later." β
"Don't be too ruthless, save him from crying again, and the next door can hear it!"
After that, Lao Li slowly shook his hands into the door next door.
"Oh yes." After dealing with Lao Li, Lin Hongmei turned around and introduced, "This is my neighbor, a native of the Northeast, Lin Lin and his daughter are in a summer vacation class to make up for it." β
"Why does Lin Lin cry every afternoon?" Jiang Wang looked at Lin Hongmei.
"I don't know! Lin Lin and his father and I are busy with work, and we come home from work at six or seven o'clock every day, and we don't cry or make trouble at that time. β
Jiang Wang stopped answering after hearing this, and silence filled the air around the entrance.
"That, give me Lin Lin's schoolbag." Hao Yunlai spoke up.
Lin Hongmei hurriedly waved her hand, "No need! No more! Let Lin Lin see a doctor with peace of mind these days, and don't worry about homework and this kind of thing. β
"During the treatment, Lin Lin also needs to be exposed to normal study and life." Jiang Wang hugged his shoulders and said without a beak.
"Then, you wait here, I'll put a few more clothes in, and you can take them with you."
"Okay." Hao Yunlai nodded.
Lin Hongmei walked into Hao Linlin's bedroom with her schoolbag.
There was a "click" sound, and it was the sound of the door being locked.
Jiang Wang leaned against the milky white wall and whispered, "She has a problem." β
"Well, when we go back, I'll ask Lin Lin again."
While the two were talking, Lin Hongmei had already walked out of the house, and handed the schoolbag to Hao Yunlai with a smile, "The weather has been hot recently, so let Lin Lin don't wear long pants all the time, I put two five-point pants in for him." β
"I'll let him wear it."
"Nothing else, right?"
"Not yet."
"Then I'll continue to cook, you guys go slowly."
"Okay." Hao Yunlai carried Hao Linlin's small schoolbag on his back and walked down the stairs with Jiang Wang.
***
By the time I drove back to the clinic, it was nearly five o'clock.
It's still early in August, and if you don't look at the direction of the sun, no one will suspect that it's noon.
Through the translucent black window, Hao Yunlai saw Chi Xi holding a hose that followed the faucet to water the bush that had just been trimmed.
Immediately afterwards, the vehicle turned right, and Hao Yunlai's eyes met the white wall.
After parking the car, Jiang Wang turned around and wanted to pick up the handbag in the back seat.
"Well, I'm sorry for you today, and I asked you to make a special trip." Hao Yunlai looked at the left half of Jiang Wang's face, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose, a sharp and angular jaw, and a pale blood on his lips, which was slightly raised when he was not smiling.
Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.
A sentence suddenly flashed in Hao Yunlai's mind.
Jiang Wang turned around after taking the handbag, and the left half of his face turned to the right half, which was still as good-looking.
"Miss Hao is polite." Jiang Wang opened the car door and stepped out.
Seeing this, Hao Yunlai also hurriedly got out of the car.
Jiang Wang opened the trunk and took out Hao Yunlai's suitcase. When he closed the trunk, he raised his handbag, which contained the disc brought out of Hao Linlin's room, "Do you have time to watch this together at night?" β
Hao Yunlai took the suitcase, and then nodded, "Yes." β
"Hmm." Jiang Wang walked to the side door and called in Chi Xi, who was working tirelessly to take care of the courtyard, "Chi Xi, come in." β
Chi Xi turned off the valve of the faucet, threw the hose aside, and walked into the consultation center.
"Where's Lin Lin?" Hao Yunlai glanced at the sofa, but didn't see Hao Linlin, who was originally sleeping there.
"Put it on the bed in the lounge." Chi Xi opened the wooden door opposite the coffee table, and Hao Linlin was sleeping sweetly in the quilt.
"He's still sleeping?" He had slept for an hour and a half, and Hao Yunlai was quite impressed by his sleep length.
Chi Xi shrugged at Hao Yunlai, then turned to Jiang Wang, "What are you going to do this time?" β
Jiang Wang took out the disc in his handbag.
"Read all of this."
***
"Teletubbies", "Cat and Mouse", "Hulu Baby", "Sailor Moon" ...... Extremely fancy cover, obviously behind the cartoon image of the times, Chi Xi looked at the various discs scattered on the tatami mats, and then looked at Jiang Wang and Hao Yunlai, who were sitting in front of him and looking at the computer screen intently, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times unconsciously.
An hour later.
"Aren't you tired?" It was the voice of Chi Xi lying on the tatami mat, which successfully broke through the chaotic words such as "grandpa, grandpa" and "wishful thinking" in Hao Yunlai's headphones, and smoothly drilled into her ears.
Hao Yunlai pressed the spacebar, and the picture paused on a green gourd baby who was breathing fire, and then took off the headphones, "My eyes are a little sour, but everything else is fine." β
"I didn't say this," Chi Xi pointed to the schoolbag that Hao Yunlai was carrying behind him, "You've been carrying it for an hour." β
"Oh!" Hao Yunlai reacted suddenly, and hurriedly put down the schoolbag, "I forgot everything, but it's not very heavy." β
The white clouds outside the window gradually dyed with powder, and the sky near the setting sun, light purple mixed with orange and red, it was already time for dinner, and Hao Yunlai's stomach "gurgled".
Jiang Wang and Chi Xi's attention were both attracted.
Hao Yunlai laughed awkwardly.
"I'll order takeout." Chi Xi took out his mobile phone, "Do you eat pizza?" β
"Eat." Hao Yunlai fiddled with Hao Linlin's schoolbag on the table in shame.
"Don't order my share." Jiang Wang lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Chi Xi, "I'm going to go out for a while, and you can send them home later." β
"No need! We can go home on our own! β
"The bus here is gone until 6 o'clock, and a female college student takes a taxi with a child? You might as well let me send you. β
Considering that Hao Linlin was beside him, Hao Yunlai thought for a moment and then nodded, "Then, I'm sorry for you." β
Chi Xi waved his hand, "You're welcome!" β
Jiang Wang closed the notebook, got up and pushed the disc in his hand to Chi Xi.
"You read the rest."
***
Night had fallen, Hao Linlin was still sleeping, and the takeout they ordered was ...... It's been two hours and it hasn't come yet.
Chi Xi began to pace back and forth impatiently, "Why is it so slow?" β
Hao Yunlai rubbed his eyes that had been staring at the screen for too long, and looked at the schoolbag in his hand blankly.
The mobile phone rang, and Chi Xi quickly picked up the phone.
"I'm sorry, why can't I find the location you said after going around for a long time?" It's the phone number of the food delivery person.
"Where are you now?"
"I'm here at the three forks of the waterfront road."
"Then you can't find the way yet, just ...... Never mind! Never mind! I'll take it myself! β
After hanging up the phone, Chi Xi rushed out of the door, "You stay here first, I'll go out for a while." Now these days, anyone can really deliver food! β
"Okay." Hao Yunlai looked anxious, tore open the zipper of his schoolbag, took out Hao Linlin's homework and flipped a few pages casually.
"That's all there is to it for elementary school students." Hao Yunlai shook his head and rested the schoolbag on his lap, unlike the touch of the fabric, the bottom of the schoolbag against his thigh was extremely hard. Confused, she reached into her bag, but she didn't touch anything, but she tightened it from the outside, and she could see the boxy character printed. Hao Yunlai unwillingly put her hand in again, and this time she found that the inner lining of the original schoolbag had been broken. So she broke through and found a disc.
On the cover is a cat, to be precise, Sheriff Black Cat.
Did Hao Linlin hide it before? Or did Lin Hongmei deliberately put it in just now?
With huge doubts, Hao Yunlai took out the "Gourd Baby" disc that was originally placed in the CD drive, and put the "Black Cat Sheriff" CD that he had just taken out into it.
There is no imaginary word "Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio" that should jump out, but instead the name of a Hong Kong film company. Accompanied by a treacherous tune, the papier-mΓ’chΓ© altar and the villain are frozen in front of you for five seconds, followed by two words written with a brush, "the first seven". Hao Yunlai has seen this movie, it is an old Hong Kong film in the 90s, it tells the story of how a ghost hunter fights wits and courage with ghosts, although it is a comedy movie, but there will still be rolling heads and hideous faces with long hair flying in the picture from time to time, which is still not suitable for children.
Hao Yunlai adjusted it to double the speed, the horror level of the film was greatly reduced, the head that rolled down the stairs was so fast that it was impossible to see the appearance, and only when it landed, a miserable white hand picked it up and naturally put it around his neck, Hao Yunlai was able to see the style of the white dress on the female ghost.
Wait a minute...... White...... Female ghost?!
The gears in Hao Yunlai's head are running rapidly, and there seems to be no setting of a young female ghost in white in "The First Seven".
With a "click", all the bright fluorescent lights went out, Hao Yunlai disappeared into darkness, only the computer screen glowed faintly bright, and she subconsciously clenched the black umbrella leaning against the sofa.
The movie screen suddenly turned into a snowflake screen, and the background music disappeared, and there was silence in Hao Yunlai's ears, and she heard her heartbeat as fast as a drum. However, after a while, the picture returned to clear, the playback speed had been adjusted to normal, no longer twice the speed before, and the woman in the corridor on the screen had disappeared.
Hao Yunlai exhaled lightly, turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and wanted to get up, when a miserable white woman's face suddenly appeared on the screen!
The woman's eye sockets had no pupils, only filled with red-black plasma, dripping down her cheekbones, she stared at Hao Yunlai fixedly, suddenly tilted her head slightly, and crawled out stiffly holding on to the outer frame of the notebook.
Hao Yunlai's breath stagnated, and he immediately opened the black umbrella in his hand. The spell drawn on the black umbrella glowed with a faint golden light, blocking the female ghost from a single step.
The female ghost struggled to penetrate the umbrella, but Hao Yunlai used all her strength to resist.
Suddenly, the black umbrella didn't move. Hao Yunlai sat in place, listening to his deep and shallow breathing, trembling and removing the black umbrella, when the afterglow saw the wisps of black hair hanging on the edge of the table, it was too late to wave the umbrella, and the female ghost suddenly got into the umbrella and rushed towards Hao Yunlai.
At this time, a hand covered her eyes.
