Ren Zhe came back on the morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month.

At this time, his heart was still full of hidden worries.

Judging from the current situation, the people who handed him over to Yunshang obviously didn't know about it.

But what about later.

If he is discovered, he will be involved.

Fortunately, Yunshang is quite comfortable.

She may have planned it earlier, otherwise she wouldn't have been so calm.

But what does the "J" that was redrawn in his palm mean when she took his hand?

Is it to hand in, to hand things in? Urgent, why is there a hurry? See, see someone? Bureau, scam? Or is it Jia, Jia Bonian?

Ren Zhe prefers first or fourth.

So what does Yunshang mean to express?

Passing by a newsstand on the street.

Ren Zhe stopped.

There have been tabloids that Yunshang's father is under investigation.

Ren Zhe bought one.

I took a cursory look at it.

The tabloid ripped the three generations of the Yun family upside down.

From Fortune to Tengda, from in-laws to cronies.

Some things are conclusive, and they are indeed as Ren Zhe knows.

Ren Zhe couldn't help but admire these tabloid reporters a little.

I don't know how many times stronger than the kind of people who talk nonsense with their eyes open.

He grabbed the newspaper and didn't stay long, and quickly returned home.

When I opened the door, I smelled a foul smell.

It is mixed with the rancid smell of leftovers, the smell of human body, and the smell of excrement.

Zhou Dawei sat in the living room tearing up a book like a dirty child.

The books in the bookcase had been destroyed by him.

Looking at the mess all over the ground, Ren Zhe was furious.

immediately picked up the mobile phone and called Li Yuxiu.

Again, no one answered.

Ren Zhe forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and cleaned up the house.

When he cleaned up to the kitchen, Ren Zhe was stunned.

A pot full of rice has grown green hairs.

Because it took too long, the rice had already rusted on the pot.

There are several deep holes in the middle of the rice.

looked at the dried rice grains on Zhou Dawei's clothes.

Ren Zhe once again burst out of a nameless fire in his heart.

"Dawei, you eat this every day?"

Maybe the tone is ruthless, Zhou Dawei is like a helpless child.

looked at Ren Zhe blankly, not knowing what to do.

"She hasn't been back in a few days?" Ren Zhe adjusted his tone and tried to soften his tone as much as possible.

Zhou Dawei began to count with his fingers. He curled up five fingers, let go of another, and then curled up again, and got tangled up in the matter.

But Ren Zhe didn't care about that anymore.

Li Yuxiu has not been home for four or five days.

He called again, but no one answered.

After Ren Zhe cleaned up the house, he took a bath for Zhou Dawei at noon, he poured out the leftovers, washed the pot, went down to buy some vegetables, and made a good meal for Zhou Dawei.

During the meal, Zhou Dawei clapped his hands happily.

watched Zhou Dawei gobble up, but Ren Zhe didn't have any appetite.

"Dawei", Ren Zhe sighed and said, "No matter what others do to you, you are my brother." ”

Zhou Dawei was suddenly suffocated, and his bowed head did not move.

The action lasted half a minute.

Ren Zhe felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly straightened his shoulders.

Zhou Dawei held a mouthful of food in his throat, and his face was flushed.

Ren Zhe slapped him on the back a few times, and he coughed up a piece of broccoli and choked on tears.

At this moment, Li Yuxiu pushed the door and came in.

Seeing a table of dishes, Li Yuxiu said "wow": "It's so fragrant!" ”

"Get out." Ren Zhe said with his back to him.

"What are you murdering?" Li Yuxiu also raised her voice.

"I repeat, go back wherever you came from." Ren Zhe still didn't turn around.

"Ren Zhe, what do you mean, I was scared outside for several days, and you had this attitude as soon as you entered the door?"

Ren Zhe turned around, on such a cold day, Li Yuxiu actually only put a short skirt on her leggings, and her makeup was also very thick.

"Are you frightened?" Ren Zhe asked rhetorically.

Li Yuxiu's face turned red, but her mouth was still tough, "What's the matter, do I want everyone to see that I'm not having a good time Ren Zhe, what about the New Year, shouldn't I dress up?" ”

"I didn't say I wouldn't let you dress up, but you can't just think about yourself, what will happen to you when I leave? How do you do that? Did you know that David ate moldy rice for a few days? If you want to celebrate the New Year, will he be fine? ”

"Ren Zhe", Li Yuxiu pointed at Zhou Dawei, "You have never been so fierce to me, and now you actually scolded me for such a neurotic, then you should talk to him." ”

Zhou Dawei seemed to know that Li Yuxiu was talking about him, so he was so frightened that he threw down his chopsticks and hid under the table.

"What's wrong with him? He is also a human being, and he used to live with me in the same bed, listen to lectures at one table, and eat at the same table. Now that his family doesn't care, am I at fault? ”

"Have you listened to my explanation? Do you know what's going on? As soon as you enter the door, you yelled at me, what's wrong with me Ren Zhe? I've never objected to your decisions, don't you know? ”

The more Li Yuxiu talked, the more sad she became, and she cried as she spoke, and she was about to go out after saying this.

Ren Zhe suddenly felt a twist in his heart.

Yes, even if she was unhappy, she still accepted Zhou Dawei.

Why can't you just listen to her?

Ren Zhe took the first step to block the door.

But he was not convinced.

"Then you just say it, tell me why you haven't been home for a few days, where have you been."

"I don't want to say it now, you get out of the way." Li Yuxiu pushed Ren Zhe away and wanted to go out.

Ren Zheyi staggered and picked her up from her waist and walked back to the house, and closed the door with a "bang".

He threw her on the couch.

Li Yuxiu is no longer struggling at this time.

"Let me say yes, apologize to me first."

"What apologies?" Ren Zhe pretended to be stupid.

"You're speaking rudely to me."

"Which one?"

"Get out."

"Okay, it's me who is wrong", Ren Zhe owed to Li Yuxiu, "Now you can say it." ”

Li Yuxiu looked at Ren Zhe and then at Zhou Dawei.

That's when he spoke.

That day, Ren Zhe went out early in the morning with a heavy heart.

Li Yuxiu also had no intention of sleeping, got up early to buy vegetables and cook, and helped Zhou Dawei wash the dirty clothes he had changed.

Nothing for a day.

In the evening, after dinner, Li Yuxiu began to feel a little flustered.

Ren Zhe's consideration is still not thorough.

Zhou Dawei is a man even if he is crazy.

It's not appropriate for a lonely man and a widow to be in the same room on a big night.

What's more, he is not mentally sound.

After thinking about it again, Li Yuxiu called Zhao Xinyue and called her over as a companion.

Zhao Xinyue happily agreed and came early.

Sleep in a room with Li Yuxiu at night.

After sleeping until three or four o'clock in the evening, Li Yuxiu got up and got up at night.

In a daze, I saw a person standing in front of the living room window.

At first, she thought it was Zhou Dawei and didn't care.

Came out of the bathroom and took another look.

This glance didn't scare her soul away.

The "man" in front of the living room window actually hung his head on the beam, his feet a few inches off the ground, and he was still swinging back and forth.

"Ah~" Li Yuxiu shouted.

Zhao Xinyue ran out barefoot.

Turn on the lights.

But there was nothing to see in front of the window.

Li Yuxiu hurriedly opened Zhou Dawei's room again.

He was still grinding his teeth in his sleep.

Zhao Xinyue was bold and ran to the window to study for a long time.

I don't see anything wrong with it.

But Li Yuxiu didn't sleep that night.

The next day, that is, on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Li Yuxiu went to buy pastries and paper money.

According to the custom of her hometown, this day is to burn paper for her ancestors, so that the ancestors can have a prosperous year after receiving money.

In the evening, she carried things and took Zhao Xinyue to burn paper in the open space in front of the community.

There was an old lady next to her who was also burning paper.

She divided the paper money into piles.

While burning, he muttered in his mouth, "Don't rob, don't fight, anyone has it." ”

"Ahh

"Grandma, why are you putting this ...... Divided into so many. ”

"Of course we have to separate, how can we know who is who if we don't separate." The old lady said, "Look, this pile belongs to my dead ghost old man, this pile belongs to my father and my mother, this pile belongs to my brother, this pile is for the ancestors, and this pile is for those lonely ghosts." ”

"You're still in charge of the lonely ghosts." Zhao Xin stuck out his tongue and said.

"Anyway, how can you ignore it." The old lady took a branch and dialed the burning paper money, "This lonely ghost was pitiful when he was alive, and if no one asks about it when he dies, it will come out to harm people." Therefore, the burning of paper is for the dead, and for the living. ”

"Grandma, you are so superstitious, the scalp of the person who said it is numb." , Zhao Xinyue said.

"You're too young to understand." , The old man said and glanced up at Li Yuxiu and Zhao Xinyue, and the beating firelight was reflected on her old face, which was a little cloudy.

"Some things are not superstitions, and when you live to my age, you may know."

"Sounds like you've experienced it." Zhao Xinyue said.

"I really haven't seen it, it's because I've always worshiped ghosts and gods. But there's a lot more to hear. ”

"Seeing is believing, hearing is false, and what you hear cannot be trusted. Yes, sister. Zhao Xinyue seems to be carrying the old lady and wants to pull Li Yuxiu.

Li Yuxiu squatted aside and silently burned the paper and said nothing.

"Not credible? Doll, don't talk about it far away, let's just say that this community, the first two years of haunting was particularly fierce, not one, but several. It was useless to ask the Taoist priest to test it with an instrument, and later they all sold the house cheaply and ran away, this is not a matter of one or two people making it up. ”

"Ah, and what? Which one is it? Show me it. Zhao Xinyue was a little excited.

The old lady hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pointed to the opposite floor.

Zhao Xinyue was silent.

Li Yuxiu was burying her head in offering tribute, and suddenly her eyes jumped for no reason.

She looked up at the old lady.

The old man's finger pointed to the location of her house.
