Section 15 Nan Shuirou's father
On this day, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't seen Nan Shuirou for a while, and I didn't know what this girl was doing lately, so I decided to go to her house to have a look.
I found her house by heart, and although I had only been there once, her home was easy to find.
But this time I didn't knock on the door, I just went in from the door, and sometimes I felt that if I could drive the ghost to be a thief, I would be invincible.
But as soon as I entered, I found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, I knew that today was the weekend, and Nan Shuirou didn't have to go to school to come to her.
But when I entered the house, I found that the room was very quiet and very chaotic, the house was full of tobacco and alcohol, and there were more than a dozen wine bottles scattered on the ground, including liquor and beer, cigarette ash and cigarette butts everywhere, and many broken wine bottles and dishes.
The whole house seems to have not been inhabited for a long time, and there is dust everywhere, and this dirty and messy environment attracts some lonely ghosts the most.
Fortunately, the five senses of ghosts are much worse than those of people, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to go in.
The living room of her house is clear at a glance, except for the sofa coffee table is a TV, there is nothing else superfluous, I was about to go to the bedroom to find Nan Shuirou, suddenly I heard a sob, the sound was very small.
I followed the sound and looked for it, and it turned out to be in the bathroom.
I hesitated, but knocked on the door. If it was Nan Shuirou inside, she would have heard it.
Sure enough, the sobbing inside stopped, and then there was the sound of a sooth, and after a while all the sounds stopped, and then the door in front of me creaked open.
In front of her was Nan Shuirou, but she was in a very bad state, her face was a little pale, her hair was messy, and when she saw it a while ago, her baby fat face was obviously much thinner, and her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
"Why are you here?" When she saw me outside the door, she seemed a little surprised, and asked me with a frown.
"What's wrong with you? Is something wrong? "For the only person I met who could see me, and she was a cute girl, I felt a little uncomfortable seeing her like this.
Nan Shuirou realized that she was not in a very good state, she rubbed her face with her hand to make herself look not so bad, and then looked up at me and smiled: "I'm fine, really!" ”
What does it mean to be fine? Hearing her say that she was fine, I was a little angry, what was fine, the ghost believed, oh no, the ghost didn't believe it.
When I was angry, I forgot that I was already a ghost, and her appearance was obviously telling others that I was not good, very bad, but she was still smiling and saying to me: "I'm fine, really!" ”
I don't know where I got my anger, so I glared at her so angrily, I think my expression at that time must have been terrifying, otherwise, how could Nan Shuirou's eyes suddenly appear tears?
I couldn't help but sigh, turned around and sat down in her living room, and then beckoned to Nan Shuirou, but Nan Shuirou was hesitating, and I was still sitting on the sofa looking at her. After a while, she came over and sat next to me.
"Your eyes lit up again." Before I could ask her, she spoke to me first, which surprised me.
Since that time I helped her beat that pervert away, when dealing with Li Jiaojiao's powerful female ghost, my eyes have not appeared abnormal, but I didn't expect it to glow again just now, no wonder Nan Shuirou was so afraid of me just now.
"And now?" I turned to her and asked, and she looked me in the eye for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It's okay now." ”
I nodded and relieved myself, not knowing what was so strange about my eyes, and that they were uncontrollable, but for the time being I knew that this change would not hurt me.
"Tell me, what's going on? If you're really fine, why are you hiding in the bathroom and crying? If it weren't for your face, I would have just gone in directly, where would I have knocked on the door. I held my head in my hands, pillowed on the back of the sofa, and squinted at Nan Shuirou and said.
Nan Shuirou didn't speak, just sat on the sofa with her head down, twisting her fingers with each other, watching her hands turn red.
"Okay, if you don't treat me as a friend, then don't say it, you just don't think I've been here, I haven't asked you." Unable to stand her silence, I abruptly stood up and walked out the door.
"Hey, you wait." I was already halfway out of the door, and Nan Shui Rou suddenly stopped me.
Can you imagine a ghost half inside the door and half outside the door? I didn't think it was funny anyway, and when I heard her voice, I retreated back into the room and turned to look at her.
"My dad, he's an alcoholic, no, no, I mean, he's a big drinker." Nan Shuirou spoke a little incoherently, but I looked at the wine bottles on the ground and nodded knowingly.
"My dad didn't like to drink before, he used to be a company designer, and although the salary was not very high, it was enough for us to spend. Later, after my mother's accident, he fell in love with drinking, at first it was okay, and he didn't delay work, but as he drank more and more, he didn't pay attention to work, and finally after a few mistakes, my father's company fired him. ”
This is the first time Nan Shuirou has talked about her mother, it turns out that her mother has passed away, I said how did I feel a little different when I sent her home last time, it turned out to be because of this, generally speaking, if the child returns late, when she comes home, it must be when the mother opens the door and falls for a while, but last time it was her drunken father who opened the door.
I know why Nan Shuirou is so introverted, not only because of her eyes that can see ghosts, but also because she is a child of a single-parent family.
"My mom died when I was five years old, and she was hit by a car." (Well, it's the same as me, so what drunk driving, speeding, these drivers who cause car accidents are the most damned.) I couldn't help but scold. )
"I watched my mother get hit, and since that day, I often see some strange 'people', but every time I say it, the people next to me will look at me with a very scared, very strange look at the monster. It took me a long time to realize that I was the only one who could see the so-called 'people', and that everyone else thought I was a madman talking nonsense. ”
There was pain in Nan Shuirou's tone, and I could understand the pain, and in a world where ghosts and humans coexist, it is not something to be proud of to be able to see ghosts.
"Because of this, I didn't have any friends since I was a child, and people who knew me called me a freak and a witch, so I changed schools, and no one knew that I could see ghosts in strange places."
"I've made a few friends here, and there's one person who's been very wrong lately, and I think it's something to do with ghosts, but I don't know whether to tell her or not, and if I do, I'm afraid she'll be afraid of me; If I don't tell her, I'm afraid she'll be in danger. Me, I don't know what to do. ”
I don't know why Nan Shuirou told me this, and I didn't care about what happened to her friend.
"So what's the matter with you? Why do you cry hiding from someone? Also, where is your father? Since you said that your father is no longer working now, what do you do to support yourself? I asked, but I also knew that Nan Shuirou couldn't tell me everything.
She stood up and started to clean the house, and when I saw that she didn't want to say, I helped her clean the room, I couldn't take the big things, but I could help her put away the broken dishes and bottles.
