"Mom, I'm thirsty. [.”

In a room that has long since lost its power and is lit by candlelight. A little child, neatly dressed and with a neatly groomed head, whispered to his mother, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze.

The mother looked her well-dressed son up and down, smiled strangely, put her hand on her son's thick black hair, and got up and walked towards the empty kitchen.

Although the whole room is very clean and the things are placed very neatly, if it looks like outsiders, there will be a feeling of hairiness in the heart. Because the layout of the whole house is not quite right, and there are many commonly used things missing from the house. For example, there is nothing in the living room except the sofa TV, and there is not even a glass coffee table.

The whole house can be described as 'dead'. Of course, the room is the same as Aunt He's house before, and the gaps are firmly attached with red tape.

Mother walked to the kitchen and opened the only upright refrigerator in the kitchen. The mother leaned down and tore off the red tape that had been attached to the bottom of the refrigerator to open the freezer compartment. What came out of the interior was not the water that his son needed, but a transparent tube with a needle attached to one end.

"Son, come here."

The mother lit the white candle on the kitchen table with a lighter and motioned for her son to sit across from her.

It was a hot summer day, but my mother was wearing a thick woolen sweater. When the sleeves of the woolen coat were rolled up to the arms one by one, what was revealed in the candlelight was a withered arm like that of an old man in his seventies and eighties, and it was covered with tiny holes and shriveled blood vessels that had turned purple from the long-term blood draw.

The mother searched for a long time in her arm, and finally at the urging of her impatient son. A pinhole was inserted into a blood vessel in the arm.

The dark red viscous blood was transported outward along the small thin tube, and the son who was sitting opposite him sucked the blood at the other end of the nozzle and began to suck the blood vigorously, showing an extremely satisfied expression.

This seems to be a common thing, the mother's expression is extremely calm, but when she sees her son's happy appearance, she is also smiling happily.

"Good son, the sun is shining today. How about Mom taking you to the first floor yard to bask in the sun? ”

"Okay." The little boy was so happy that he took his mother's arm and walked out the door.

When I walked out of my house, I happened to see Zhang Chen and the others who were about to walk into Xiang Yun's house.

"Outsiders...... The outsider had just walked in there...... Ha ha. Is the curse finally going to spread outward? The mother's slightly hoarse voice chuckled frantically. Son, as long as everyone is the same as us outside, we can live a normal life. ”

"Mom, I want to see how they died."

"Okay. Mom will take you to see it. ”

Although my mother's whole body was thin and weak because of the thin blood. But the action was unusually fast. He quickly took two sharp knives out of his house and handed one of them to his son.

"If anyone wants to hurt you or Mommy, take this and poke them in the eye, you know?"

"Got it."

…………

"Xiang Yun, if you wait for me outside the door. I'll go in and help you get things done. It seems that the other person sensed us and recognized you before we entered the house. ”

"No, I'm already with you, I'm going to go in with you. After learning Taoism from my grandfather for so many years, I only have one wish. Xiang Yun's arm that grabbed the woven necklace around his neck trembled slightly, and his other hand slowly pinched the rune paper that had been prepared in the schoolbag into his hand.

"Okay, follow me."

Zhang Chen had a strong sense of danger, and although he felt that the things in the room were not able to threaten him, for Xiang Yun, an ordinary person, the danger was extremely great. The danger may be invisible, and it is entirely possible that when Zhang Chen inadvertently focused on other things, Xiang Yun was attacked by hidden ghosts.

"Yui, be vigilant."

Zhang Chen stepped into the room and found a dark yellow envelope under a vase placed on the shoe cabinet that read "Welcome home." In order not to make Xiang Yun feel scared, Zhang Chen directly put the envelope in his pocket.

Walking in the hallway, although the sound of his footsteps was extremely subtle, it could not be silenced in this room for a long time.

"Is the antique room the first room to turn left in front?" Zhang Chen didn't sense any strange aura in the antique room in front of him, so he turned around and asked Xiang Yun.

"En......"

Zhang Chen, who turned his head, stared, and although Xiang Yun behind him didn't see anything unusual, the red ribbon was missing from his right wrist.

"When? ……”

Without thinking, Zhang Chen grabbed the neck of 'Xiang Yun' behind him with his backhand, and the latter first showed pain, pitiful and incomprehensible eyes staring at Zhang Chen. But after seeing Zhang Chen's resolute gaze, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and his body turned into a folding paper umbrella and fell to the ground.

"No wonder I can't feel anything in the room, fortunately Yui is following Xiang Yun, otherwise it would be a big trouble."

…………

However, Xiang Yun, who was outside the door at this moment, looked at Zhang Chen, who was full of security in front of him, and walked into the door.

There was a "boom" sound.

I don't know who closed the door slamming the door, and then I heard the sound of the lock being opened, Zhang Chen poked his head out with a smile, signaling to Yun not to be afraid.

"Little girl, stand back a bit."

Yui's non-standard Mandarin voice suddenly reached Xiang Yun's eardrums, and in the blink of an eye, the red ribbon turned into a beautiful woman, and the sharp red sharp armor of her hands tore Zhang Chen's body to pieces.

"Ahh

Xiang Yun was frightened and pasted the rune paper in his hand to Yui, and when the yellow rune paper was pasted on the back of Yui, the red silk cloth burned a small hole, and Yui's face changed color slightly. If it weren't for Zhang Chen's request, she might have killed Xiang Yun in this anger.

"I'm friends with Zhang Chen, can you open your eyes and see what's on the ground?"

Xiang Yun, who was already sitting on the ground in fright, looked in front of him and found that what should have been pieces of broken flesh and blood turned into white pieces of paper at this moment.

"If Zhang Chen hadn't asked me to protect you, my mother would have squeezed all the virgin blood in your body and used it to moisturize my skin. Don't be so cowardly, get up. To deal with your affairs, I still have an appointment with Zhang Chen. Yui said in a sinister tone.

"That'...... What about Zhang Chen? ”

"Trapped in another place by ghosts, but it's not a big problem, you better worry about yourself. It's as easy to kill you as it is to kill a chicken. ”

"Oh......" Xiang Yun was so frightened by Yui that she didn't dare to speak.

"Hurry up and help you get things done, I don't have much time to serve you. I'll lurk in you, and you'll go in here and lure the ghosts out of there, so you won't be in danger. ”

After finishing speaking, Yui turned into a ribbon and wrapped it around Xiang Yun's wrist again.

It is impossible to say that he is not afraid, but Xiang Yun's heart at this moment is extremely complicated. I recall the death of my parents who once single-handedly pulled me up. Then after his grandfather died of illness, he lived alone and experienced thousands of hardships, and the hatred in Xiang Yun's heart gradually leveled with fear.

"No, Xiang Yun, you have to come on. The opportunity for revenge is in front of me, and Senior Brother Zhang Chen is also trying to help me. ”

Xiang Yun cheered himself up, divided his left and right hands and cooperated, and slid up from the bottom of the peach wood sword body after igniting the rune paper, as the rune paper burned out, the peach wood sword suddenly shone with golden light, and also dispelled a part of the biting cold qi on Xiang Yun's body.

Xiang Yun, who was highly concentrated, couldn't help but glance at his parents' shoes at the door. Then he looked elsewhere, and the whole person seemed to slowly fall into the memories of the past.

The so-called home is not a fixed place, with a bed and some necessities. It is the spiritual sustenance of a person when he is lonely, lonely, sad, and so on.

Although Xiang Yun has been wandering outside for more than ten years, she may have forgotten this home a little in her memory. But when I saw the scene in front of me and the childhood home that was exactly the same as when I left, a familiar sense of sustenance welled up in my heart.

A white envelope was pressed under the vase of the shoe cabinet and was pinched in Xiang Yun's hand.

The words "Welcome home" appeared with a black signature pen imprinted on the cover of the envelope, the font is a typical regular script, Xiang Yun's parents are engaged in the antique trading business, so Xiang Yun's mother's handwriting is very good-looking, and some of the important antique trading profiles are written by Xiang Yun's mother.

However, these four words came from the hands of Xiang Yun's mother.

Xiang Yun naturally saw it at a glance, and then excitedly opened the envelope and took out the letters inside.

"Dear Daughter,

Mom knew that your daughter was going home today, so she cleaned up the house, cooked your favorite beef and radish soup and stir-fried chicken offal, and Mom still remembered that you liked to fry with celery, and didn't need to put garlic. ”

Xiang Yun covered her mouth with her hand after reading the letter, and at this moment, from the living room at the other end of the corridor, there was a strong smell of beef soup, which was exactly the same as Xiang Yun's favorite beef soup when she was a child.

"How is it possible......" Xiang Yun slowly moved forward sluggishly, and put away the peachwood sword in his hand.

When the whole person walked into the hallway, it seemed that the lights in other parts of the room had gradually dimmed, but the light in the living room at the front of the corridor felt extremely dazzling, and there was a warm feeling coming out. In this situation, Xiang Yun couldn't tell what was going on.

"Mom, Dad!"

Tears welled up the moment Xiang Yun walked out of the corridor, because in the living room, all kinds of dishes were placed on the glass table. Father and mother smiled kindly and waited for them to come over and eat together.

"Go and help Daddy make a bowl of rice."

"Okay." When Xiang Yun smiled and took the porcelain bowl in his father's hand and ran to the kitchen, the light behind him suddenly went out, and when he turned around, there was no one on the table.

However, when Xiang Yun turned around, his parents were standing in front of him, expressionless...... (To be continued......)
