Shu Baiyue and Zhu Yechen glanced at each other, and Zhu Yechen stopped.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, the pace was heavy, and soon, a middle-aged man in his fifties with a big beer belly walked up holding on to the railing, probably because it was very difficult to climb the stairs, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he wiped his head with his hand.

Seeing that there was actually someone upstairs, a trace of horror flashed on the middle-aged man's face.

Shu Baiyue let go of the way, and the atmosphere was a little indescribably embarrassed.

"Who are you?"

The emotions in his eyes are a little strange that cannot be explained.

Zhu Yechen didn't speak, he was observing this man's dress, there was nothing special, it was the kind that couldn't be found in the pile.

But when his eyes fell on the middle-aged man's bulging bag, the middle-aged man subconsciously covered the bag, and there was something wrong with his eyes.

Shu Baiyue is naturally the little girl who lied: "We have something to do with our friend, but I don't know why he hasn't opened the door." ”

The muscles on the middle-aged man's face twitched: "You guys are looking for the wrong thing, how can your friend live here?" ”

Shu Baiyue didn't understand what he meant, but she was very keenly aware of the deep meaning in his words, so she raised a harmless smile: "Uncle, why do you say that." ”

The middle-aged man seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated for a second or two, and waved his hand not to answer the question: "You must have found the wrong one, go downstairs, this place is not for you." ”

Shu Baiyue wanted to say something, but Zhu Yechen opened his mouth: "Uncle, the things in your bag are very interesting." ”

The middle-aged man looked at Zhu Yechen and actually laughed: "Little brother, you are also very interesting." ”

"Uncle is from the river?"

Zhu Yechen took out a box of cigarettes from his arms, smoked one and handed it to the middle-aged man, but his posture was still faintly defensive.

When the middle-aged man saw this cigarette, he swallowed it in his throat, obviously greedy, his eyes coveted for three seconds, and he sighed, a little pity: "I am just an occasional leak on the shore, thanks to the kindness of the little brother, I don't want this cigarette."

His attitude has changed dramatically, and his attitude can even be described as respectful.

Zhu Yechen was not reluctant, and put the cigarette back: "Why do you want to pick up the soul locking grass?" ”

Shu Baiyue stood aside and became a background board, although she didn't understand what they were talking about, but after thinking about it a little, she understood that the middle-aged man in front of her was probably half of the same companion as Zhu Yechen.

What is the soul locking grass that Zhu Yechen is talking about?

Shu Baiyue observed the middle-aged man's leather bag, as if there were a lot of hard things in it, the whole leather bag was poked up, and what shocked Shu Baiyue the most was that the things inside seemed to be slowly shrinking and stretching.

Secretly memorized, she is now like a trainee student, learning more things if she can.

The middle-aged man wiped his sweat again: "Where is the little brother?" ”

Zhu Yechen didn't answer him, but stared at his eyes, and his posture was a little more guarded: "Soul Locking Grass is useless, if you look for this, you can only lock it for a while, but you can't lock it for a lifetime." ”

probably also knows that Zhu Yechen's attitude is tough and not easy to cliché, looking at this posture, if he doesn't finish telling what he knows, then he probably won't be able to keep the soul locking grass he picked up at the risk of becoming crippled.

"Little brother, I won't hide it from you, my old man died, and he didn't let me live in peace, my wife was scared to go back to her parents' house, I finally mustered up the courage to come up this time, but I didn't expect to meet your big Buddha."

Zhu Yechen relaxed a little, no longer stared at his face, and observed his subtle expression to judge whether he was lying: "You are ruthless to your old man." ”

Shu Baiyue was a little dazed, not knowing why Zhu Yechen said this.

The middle-aged man was really a little sad now, and touched his bag: "Who wants to, what a good person he was when he was alive in the past, but now that he is dead, he doesn't recognize his six relatives, and I want to live well." ”

Maybe it was because he was leaking too much emotion in front of others, the middle-aged man smiled a little embarrassedly and opened the topic: "Little brother is standing at that door, and you are facing the room where my old man died." ”

Shu Baiyue was confused: "Isn't this a daily rent?" ”

After saying that, Shu Baiyue realized that she had broken her lie again, but it didn't matter, anyway, everyone present understood that the clumsy little lie just now could only be regarded as a petty joke.

The middle-aged man looked at Shu Baiyue's face, and then looked at Zhu Yechen, as if judging their relationship, but when he met Zhu Yechen's slightly warning gaze, he withdrew his inquiring eyes and answered Shu Baiyue's question: "This house was originally mine, but I rented it to others and found that it was taken by others as a daily rental house, but unfortunately I didn't look at the contract much at that time." Some time ago, the contract expired, my old man was seriously ill at the time, crazy and going to kill with a knife, my wife said that if I didn't lock up the old man, I would divorce, I had no choice but to lock the old man inside......"

The middle-aged man explained in detail and clearly.

However, Shu Baiyue knew that he could tell her in such detail that it all depended on Zhu Yechen by his side, and sometimes, absolute strength had the absolute right to speak.

Zhu Yechen seemed to have caught something, and asked: "How long did the old man live in it and die?" ”

The middle-aged man coughed, and seemed to have some indescribable remorse: "Two days, when I went to send it back, I found the old man lying on the ground with his chest clutched. ”

Shu Baiyue felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but Zhu Yechen was not touched, he was used to seeing life and death, and he had long known such things as people, but it was very strange.

"Was there anything unusual in the house before......"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, frowned and began to recall, and replied with some uncertainty: "It shouldn't be, right?" ”

Zhu Yechen really didn't pay attention to his appearance, nodded, and as a reward: "You open the door, I'll help you take a look." ”

The middle-aged man nodded, sometimes, this kind of powerful strength can often make people subconsciously believe and follow.

With the key, in less than two seconds, the door opened, there was no light inside, all the curtains were tightly drawn, and there was a faint smell of dust raised.

Zhu Yechen glanced at it and stepped in directly, Shu Baiyue hesitated, and followed Zhu Yechen in, the middle-aged man was the last to walk in.

Except for some choking, there is nothing abnormal, this is a set of two houses, a master bedroom to the sun, but the second bedroom is smaller, probably because of the relationship between the dead, a lot of things have been packed up and burned.

The middle-aged man was still a little scared, but when he opened the curtains, the house was clean and clean, and there was nothing weird.

"This, where's the old man?"

Although the middle-aged man was afraid of the old man's ghost, this time he really saw that the whole room was clean, and he was still a little unspeakably disappointed.

Zhu Yechen rummaged around again.

Shu Baiyue also took an ashtray and looked at it, there was nothing, even the ashtray was as bright as new, if it weren't for the fact that the furniture was a little shabby and the wallpaper was a little peeling, she really thought it was a new house that no one lived in.

Zhu Yechen stood next to the sofa: "Where is the place where the old man found the corpse?" ”

The middle-aged man pointed to the door in despair, and the old man fell to the door.

Shu Baiyue sighed silently, the place where the old man fell was only a few dozen centimeters away from the doorknob, maybe at the last moment, he regained his senses, and moved to the door with a rope when he returned to the light, but unfortunately it was just a little bit, and he died next door to his son, and the body slowly cooled down.

Zhu Yechen wiped a handful of dust, a thin layer stained his hands, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, there was a slight smell of mucus at the staircase.

The soul of the lord was still there two days ago, but now it is gone.

Zhu Yechen is well-informed, but he still can't figure it out, it stands to reason that the old man was extremely resentful when he died, and he generally stuck to his four places, and in his memory before his death, next door was his own son, how could he disappear?

The middle-aged man sat slumped on the bed, discouraged.

Zhu Yechen asked him to open the door next door, but the old man's ghost was still there, and the entire top floor was as clean as a hollow area.

Shu Baiyue looked at Zhu Yechen's brows, knowing that she couldn't help much.

Zhu Yechen was in a bad mood and planned to leave directly, Shu Baiyue couldn't bear it, and comforted the middle-aged man with a few words: "Uncle, maybe the old man has been reincarnated and enjoyed, and you don't have to be too sad." ”

The middle-aged man's leather bag was thrown on the table at will, and he had long since stopped protecting his baby.

Hearing Shu Baiyue's words, he raised his head hopefully, his eyes seemed to be illuminated by the light of fire, but soon, the light in his eyes went out again, and he smiled bitterly: "Thank you for comforting me, girl." ”

Shu Baiyue looked at him like this, and always remembered the middle-aged people who were burdened with two families in the movie, and for a moment of compassion, she simply pulled Zhu Yechen together: "Teacher Zhu, did you say what I said?" ”

Zhu Yechen turned around and was about to leave, hearing this, his body paused, looked at Shu Baiyue's pleading eyes, and wanted to tell the truth, but finally replied inexplicably.

Although the attitude is not clear, it always gives people hope.

It's like a doctor with great medical skills who says, "Your illness isn't too bad."

The flame of hope of the middle-aged man was lit again.

Zhu Yechen shook his head and walked first, Shu Baiyue followed behind him.

"I wish the teacher I was just out of kindness......"

Zhu Yechen actually felt that it was nothing: "What's the use of you giving him such hopeless hope?" ”

Shu Baiyue didn't care that there was a problem with his words, came out of the community, looked at the bare tree trunks, and suddenly whispered: "Sometimes people just live by hope." ”

Zhu Yechen glanced at her and didn't speak again.

The two of them were about to go back in a muffled voice, but they happened to see a large group of people at the gate of the back school not far away.
