Chapter 24: Something Missing
"Yes, Oda, go grocery shopping. www.biquge.info Hey, after buying vegetables in a while, come to my house, let's have a good fight." This is the voice of Aunt Li, the neighbor next to her.
"That's right! I lost to you yesterday, and today I must win it back, hahaha! ”
The voices of the two women gradually faded away with the sound of footsteps, and Zuo Meilin had already walked into the bathroom, closed the door, and turned on the hot water.
She let out a long sigh, hating herself for having such a mother.
The hot water filled the mist, enveloping her in it.
She suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
Something seems to be missing.
She turned her head to look around and checked the contents of the bathroom. Shampoo, shower gel, bath flower ...... There is no shortage of them.
But she just felt like something was missing.
Perhaps, what is missing is not the same "thing"?
What would that be?
Zuo Meilin was puzzled and simply didn't want to. She relaxed, immersing her whole body and soul in the rushing water.
The water temperature is moderate, and it is very comfortable to pour on the body. She closed her eyes and rubbed her hair, but the conversation she had just had with her mother was still swirling in her mind.
Bother.
She turned the water up to its maximum and let the sound of the water wash away her irritability.
A hint of uneasiness crept over her heart.
It always feels like something isn't quite right.
She snapped her eyes open.
She finally knew what was missing.
The sound of the door closing.
When her mother went out just now, she didn't close the door!
Startled, she turned off the hot water and turned to look at the frosted glass door.
At this moment, the blood in her whole body clotted.
She saw a figure. She could be sure that this person was definitely not her mother.
Even if she turned the hot water up to the maximum just now, and the sound of running water affected her hearing, if people outside were walking normally, she would definitely hear it. So, this person must have snuck in.
The figure reached out a hand and grabbed at the handle of the frosted glass door.
No!
Zuo Meilin's brain is about to explode. She threw herself at the glass door and slammed it on.
But the figure outside the door is very powerful, and it is not something that she can compete with as a girl at all.
The glass door was slowly opened, and Zuo Meilin saw a large, black and rough hand.
Then, as the door widened, she saw the man's arm and the face of a middle-aged man with an evil grin.
She knew the man, who was an upstairs resident, a bachelor named Ma Guangchang.
"Ahhh!!h
Zuo Meilin was about to collapse. She pushed and kicked as hard as she could, but to no avail.
"Hey, hey, hey......" The middle-aged man laughed as he walked in.
Zuo Meilin desperately hid back, she squeezed into the innermost corner, squatted on the ground, and hugged herself with her two arms.
The man lunged at her, and the image began to shake.
It's too real. All of this is too real.
Looking at the picture in front of him, Shi Yuan felt a sense of horror.
Suddenly, he felt a pair of hands grab his shoulders. He was startled and wanted to look back, but at that moment, the hands began to shake him violently.
Shi Yuan felt that his gaze began to shake violently, forming a strange ensemble rhythm with the picture of the movie.
Who's shaking my shoulder? Or rather, ...... "what"?
Shi Yuan wanted to stand up and turn around, but he couldn't do it at all. The force was too strong, not at all like the strength that a human could exert. Moreover, he was sitting in the last row of the screening room at this time, and there was no one behind him at all.
He swung his hand back with all his might, but all he touched was air.
He jerked his long knife out of the side of his backpack behind him and stabbed it back.
The shaking stopped, and the hands disappeared.
Shi Yuan immediately stood up, turned around, and looked back.
No one, nothing.
He thought for a moment, and instead of sitting back in his seat, he stood against the wall. He took his backpack off and held it in his left hand, his back pressed against the wall.
The shaking in the film also stopped, and all he could see was the girl's horizontal head and wide eyes, and the blood in her hair and face.
She was injured and was beaten by the man.
Shi Yuan suddenly felt his heart tremble.
Is she dead?
I don't know how long it took, Zuo Meilin finally moved. She got up from the ground and sat down on her knees, sobbing and then crying.
After another while, the voice of her mother Tian Xinli came from outside the door.
"Ouch, what's the door...... Oops, I forgot to close the door just now, really. ”
"Xiao Tian, hurry up and put the vegetables in the house, three are missing one, and I will wait for you." Aunt Li shouted.
"Okay, here we go!"
This was followed by the sound of cloth bags filled with vegetables being thrown haphazardly on the ground.
Then, there was a heavy "bang"!
"Huh...... Hehehe......" Zuo Meilin smiled miserably and angrily.
Her eyes were full of hatred.
She stood up silently, turned on the hot water again, and rinsed herself.
The wounds on her body and head hurt, but she was numb.
After taking a shower and getting dressed, she returned to her bedroom and lay down on the bed with a blank expression.
It was close to six o'clock, Tian Xinli finally returned home and started cooking.
After more than half an hour, Tian Xinli shouted: "Meilin, come and eat!" ”
Zuo Meilin did not respond, and did not move.
Tian Xinli shouted again: "Did you hear that?" The meal is ready, why don't you come over and eat it quickly? Why is it so worry-free? ”
Zuo Meilin was still motionless.
After two minutes, Tian Xinli walked into her bedroom, turned on the light, and looked at her.
"What's going on? Still angry? Are you ignorant and reasonable? Tian Xinli said very unhappily.
After waiting for a few seconds, seeing that Zuo Meilin still ignored it, Tian Xinli became angry and yelled: "Do you like to eat or not!" It's really a problem! ”
With that, she walked out quickly and slammed the door shut.
Zuo Meilin gasped and trembled.
She picked up her phone and dialed a call.
"Hey, baby, did you miss me?" A boy's voice came from inside.
"Boshu ......," Zuo Meilin said tremblingly.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Yan Boshu felt that Zuo Meilin seemed to have something, and his tone became serious.
"Can you come and pick me up from my house? I don't want to stay at home tonight. ”
Yan Boshu was silent for a while, and said hesitantly: "However, my parents are at home tonight...... Can...... Another time? ”
"I went to stay at the hotel. Can you pick me up? ”
Yan Boshu misunderstood what she meant, and said happily: "Okay, no problem!" I'll be here now, and I'll be there in ten minutes. ”
Soon, he came to the door of Zuo Meilin's house and rang the doorbell.
Tian Xinli opened the door, looked at Yan Boshu in confusion, and said, "Who are you?" Who to look for? ”
Zuo Meilin reluctantly got out of bed, put on her coat, and walked out.
"I'll go out." Zuo Meilin said to her mother weakly.
"Huh? Where are you going? When will you come back? ”
"I'm not coming back tonight." Zuo Meilin said, walked out, and slammed the door shut.
