Chapter 15: The Evil One

Seeing that Xiaohui was about to leave school in two hours, I quickly ran to the bank to withdraw my savings, bought a new set of clothes in a roadside store, found a barber shop, and cut my long hair into a plank.

Megumi said that she liked the way I looked when I had short hair, and that hairstyle would make me look more energetic.

By the time I took care of myself, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and as soon as I arrived at the school gate, I saw many people coming out of the school one after another.

When I saw those college students holding textbooks in their hands, I was very envious.

I also wanted to be like them, to be able to blow the air conditioner in the classroom every day and learn something I wanted to learn, and I did have the opportunity to do so.

It's a pity that my life is not good, and I have a step-uncle like Sun Yongbing, in fact, I still can't understand why he is angry and always sprinkles on me, I obviously have no grudge against him.

It didn't take long for Xiaohui to walk towards the school gate with a small bag on her back.

Her name is Zhao Yahui, it is my first love, although I haven't been in school for a long time, but I don't know if it's because of the explosion of character or what's wrong, I can meet such a good girl.

It's been too long, I just remember that Zhao Yahui and I should have gotten on during military training, as for how the two of us looked at each other and how they developed into lovers, I really can't remember.

Anyway, Zhao Yahui and I didn't achieve a positive result in the end, and I always think about those things related to her, just to add trouble to myself.

I heard Lao Zuo say that he has a friend by his side, and his wife is also called Xiaohui, also surnamed Zhao, he said, maybe his friend's wife is the same person as Zhao Yahui in my mouth.

I don't believe that such a coincidence can happen in the world, and even though I am now married, I still don't want to accept that my first love has become someone else's wife.

But later, Lao Zuo called his friend, and finally asked clearly, his friend's wife was called Zhao Yahui, and she also had a younger brother named Zhao Dazhu.

It's really the same person!

It seems that there are some things that I have to accept even if I don't want to.

The reality is so frustrating.

In fact, I originally wanted to omit Zhao Yahui's affairs, but I found that I had to mention her, which was also a helpless thing, in the first few years when I first entered the family, Xiaohui still had a deep impact on me. It can even be said that I have been able to survive until now in my family, thanks to her.

Let's get down to business.

When I saw Xiaohui at the school gate, Xiaohui also saw me from a distance, and she immediately smiled and waved at me, but the girls who walked with her all had disdainful expressions on their faces when they saw me.

I didn't have the heart to pay attention to those who couldn't hit me, and as soon as I saw Xiaohui, I smiled uncontrollably, and I stood on tiptoe and waved at her.

When Xiaohui came to me, the woman next to her asked her, "Do I need to bring you food?" ”

Xiaohui gave her a spring-like smile: "No need, I'm eating out today." ”

The woman reluctantly returned Xiaohui a smile, and gave me a disdainful look, but I didn't see it.

When those annoying girls were far away, Xiaohui said to me: "I just said that you still look good with short hair, you look so energetic now." ”

Every time I saw her at the school gate, the muscles on my face seemed to be out of control, and I was grinning and I didn't know what to say.

Xiaohui pulled me out of the school gate and asked me, "What do you want to eat tonight?" My mom just sent me living expenses, and I ask you. ”

I said, "Let's still follow the old rules, you decide the place, and I will pay the money." ”

"Oh, okay," Xiaohui took my arm and said to me with a smile: "Don't you still have to earn tuition for my brother, I don't have any pressure anyway, I can't spend my living expenses every month, anyway, even if I don't invite you, I still invite my roommates." Well, I'm in for a treat tonight, and I've decided so happily. ”

"We agreed before, the money for the meal is mine, don't rob me." As I spoke, I looked at Megumi's side face.

At that time, I liked to look at her like this, although her appearance was not particularly beautiful, but the small facial features put together gave people a very comfortable feeling.

Every time I look at her like that, I feel very calm.

However, when I came to see her before, she was plain and never wore makeup, but this time, I noticed that the skin tone around her eye sockets was not the same as usual, as if she had applied foundation.

"Did you put on makeup?" I asked her.

Xiaohui sighed: "I haven't slept well in the past few days, and I have dark circles under my eyes, so I cover them with foundation." Hey, Zhang Ruofei, let me ask you, do you particularly dislike my makeup? ”

I nodded: "Yes, I still think you look good without makeup, anyway, your skin is so good, makeup looks unnatural." ”

When I spoke, it was always Xiaohui who pulled me away, and I knew that she would definitely go to the shop that made bacon flatbread again this time, and every time I invited her, she would pick it there, and I also knew that among the dozens of small restaurants near the school gate, that store was the cheapest one.

I squeezed Xiaohui's hand and said to her, "Don't eat cakes today, when I came here just now, I saw a fish restaurant opened at the intersection of Jinma Road, which seems to be very good." ”

Xiaohui winked at me: "I know that shop, don't look at their small door, but the dishes inside are quite expensive, not affordable at all." It just so happens that I haven't eaten bacon flatbread in a few days, so let's go eat it. ”

I smiled at her, "Thank you for helping me save money." Actually, I recently found a new job, and the salary is much higher than before, so we don't have to save so much in the future. ”

Xiaohui also smiled: "Really? Have you found a new job? In fact, I have always wanted to persuade you to change jobs, the work in the furniture store is too tiring, and I can't make much money, but I see that Boss Lu is very good to you, and I want to persuade you, but I am embarrassed to speak. What kind of job are you looking for? ”

Seriously, I don't know what the old family does, and I didn't expect Xiaohui to ask like this, so I didn't think much about it at the time, so I said casually: "It seems that I am studying ancient tombs." ”

As soon as I said that, I regretted it, what kind of research on ancient tombs, what kind of company would specialize in research tombs? I might as well just talk about tomb robbery!

Sure enough, when she heard my words, Xiaohui frowned on the spot.

I immediately added: "No, it's the company I work for, part of the business is related to archaeology, they mainly produce archaeological equipment and instruments, hehe." ”

When I spoke, Xiaohui's brows never loosened, which made me feel very weak.

After a while, she said to me, "No, I don't know what kind of work you're responsible for in that company, but ...... But no matter what you do, don't go to archaeology! ”

"I'm not studying archaeology, so how can I go to archaeology?" I first responded like this, and then I felt that Xiaohui seemed to have something in her words, so I asked her: "You seem to be a little resistant to archaeology?" ”

Xiaohui sighed and said, "Do you remember that relative of mine?" ”

I scratched my head: "Which relative?" ”

Xiaohui said: "It's my second uncle, he also lives in Bohai Bay, you've seen it." ”

I thought about it for a long time and didn't think of such a person, so I shook my head.

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember him. But don't go to archaeology. ”

"Why?"

Xiaohui fell into deep thought, she seemed to hesitate about something, and after a while, she said to me: "A week ago, my second uncle didn't know where to get a copper coin, and after that, he became delirious, full of nonsense, and often broke out and hurt people. I went to the hospital to check and didn't find a result, and my family said that he was evil. ”

No wonder she hasn't been sleeping well lately, it turns out that it's because of this.

I said, "Could it be that your second uncle has been under too much pressure recently and has something mentally wrong?" ”

As I spoke, I raised my hand and pointed to my head.

Xiaohui immediately shook her head: "Definitely not." I heard my aunt say that since the second uncle brought the copper coin home, there have been strange things in the house, first the second uncle went crazy, and then the meat and vegetables in the refrigerator rotted inexplicably, and all rotted into water overnight. The second aunt thought there was something wrong with the copper coin, so she threw it away, but guess what happened later? ”

I shook my head, indicating that I couldn't guess.

Xiao Hui leaned in front of me, lowered her voice and said to me, "Later, that copper coin actually came back by itself. After the second aunt threw it in the garbage bin that day, she never left the house again, and no one else in the house came, but when she fed my second uncle, she found that the second uncle was holding something in his hand. ”

When she said this, Xiao Hui seemed to be taken aback by her words, and her body trembled.

If I had put it in the past, I would have told her that evil spirits and other things were all used to deceive children. Maybe her second uncle took advantage of the family's inattention, sneaked out of the house, and retrieved the copper coin.

But now I don't dare to say such things, just last night, I saw with my own eyes something that shouldn't be seen, maybe, there is really something wrong with that copper coin, Xiaohui's second uncle may really be evil.

Xiaohui's words were not finished: "My second uncle was doing archaeological work when he was young, and he used to tell me that it is best not to touch those old things that do not know the origin, because they may have bad things attached to them." ”

My heart was also a little nervous, but I still had to comfort her: "No, if everyone who does archaeology thinks so, then who dares to go to archaeology?" Besides, there are many of those antiques in the museum that they don't know where they came from, and they haven't seen anything. Don't think about it, I guess your second uncle is a little insane. ”

"He's been to a lot of hospitals," Xiaohui was a little anxious: "I haven't found any problems!" ”

I smiled at her: "That's it, it just so happens that I know a good psychiatrist, I'll ask him to go to your second uncle's house another day to see the situation." Although we don't know if he has a mental problem, it's always right to find someone to see, I heard that this psychiatrist seems to know something about that, maybe once he goes, your second uncle will get better. ”

The psychiatrist in my mouth is Yu Dong, I think, if Xiaohui's second uncle is really evil, Yu Dong must have a way to save him.
