Two weeks and three days have passed since Zhou Jie's death, and Xiao Fan has been staying in the house for two weeks, thinking about nothing and doing nothing during this period. Grab whatever you eat when you're hungry, whether it's a few leftovers in the fridge or some other quick biscuit, it's instinctive to keep this life going.

Although Xiao Fan's personality looks very gentle on the surface, he is stubborn in his bones. He is not yet discouraged by the world, and he is not yet at the point of compromise. So after a period of recuperation, he got back on his feet.

Zhou Jie, Xia Rufeng, Ning Yuan, Long Xiaotian, Xiang Kuo.

There are two left, three if you include yourself.

Death is like an invisible hand, grabbing people's souls, and now everyone has no way to escape.

Xiao Fan took out a bottle of mineral water in the refrigerator, and then drank it with his neck up. Then he picked up his phone and rang a call.

The other party is Long Xiaotian.

With apprehension, Xiao Fan hoped that the other party would quickly pick up the mobile phone and connect it. Because I haven't been in touch with them for weeks.

After a short four seconds, the phone was finally connected, and the voice came from the other party.

"Hey."

"Xiaotian, are you okay?"

"Uh...... I, I'm okay, I'm okay. ”

"That's good." Xiao Fan's heart just hanged. Finally......

"Xiaofan, it's great that you're still here." The other party is obviously sincere. Xiaotian people are not bad.

"How's it going?" Xiao Fan asked, "Is there anything special about it?" ”

"What do you mean?" Xiaotian knew what Xiao Fan meant by the peculiar place, but he was still a little scared.

"How do you spend your day now?"

"Every day at work, after work, as usual. Oh, it's different, on the way to and from work, I will pay special attention to the surroundings to see if there is any danger, or if there is anyone following, and even when I get home, I am nervous, I am so tired, Xiaofan. I've had enough, I've had enough. ”

"Don't do that, Xiaotian. Relax, everything will pass and everything will be fine. Xiao Fan tried his best to comfort the other party, although he couldn't even comfort himself.

"How can it be okay!" Xiaotian said as if asking himself, with a little hysteria in his voice, "How can it be okay!?" All died, all of them died, first Rufeng, then Ning Yuan, then Zhou Jie, maybe the next one might be me!! Xiaotian's tone was close to collapse, and Xiao Fan could feel his fear on the other end of the phone.

"Maybe everything can still be saved." Xiao Fan knew that no matter how much he could, he couldn't comfort him, because facts speak louder than words, and Xiao Fan had no conclusive evidence that this bad luck would not happen again.

"I think I should talk to you. I think all of these things happen for a reason, and they are not accidental, nor are they haunted by ghosts. So, there are some things I ask you, and you have to be honest, and you must stop being deceitful, and you will stop being secretive, otherwise you are playing with your own lives. Because — I'm not kidding. ”

"......" After a long time, a voice came from the other end of the phone, "yes." ”

Xiao Fan followed some of the ideas and clues he had analyzed these days, and began to ask questions in the strict sense for the first time.

"First of all, I already know more clearly about the background of the five of you, the five of you grew up together and moved to the city with your family, right?"

"Hmm." Although he didn't know what kind of expression was on the other end of the phone, Xiao Fan was sure and affirmed that he had entered the formal answer. Hopefully, he'll have nothing to hide next.

Xiao Fan licked his lips and continued, "The relationship between your families must be extraordinary. ”

"Hmm." The other party repeated this monophonic tone, as if nodding in acquiescence.

I don't know whether to ask or not, but Xiao Fan doesn't want to give up any information points, even if this information is not important at all.

"How are your parents doing now?"

"Uh...... My mother is still alive, but my father died in a construction accident two years ago. ”

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine."

"Did you leave any last words when your uncle died?"

"He died on the spot, and he didn't have time to be treated." There was no sadness in Xiaotian's tone of reply, and it seemed that the scars in his heart had long since healed.

"I'm sorry." Xiao Fan once again expressed his sincere silence.

"It's all in the past, it's in the past, and there's no need to be sorry. It was just an accident, everything was predestined. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Fan seemed to hear the sound from these words, and he hurriedly asked, "What do you say?" Are there any signs? ”

"Not really!"

"Then why do you say that?" Xiao Fan said.

"To be honest, when my father was alive, I didn't have a very good relationship with him." Xiaotian explained.

Saying this, Xiao Fan Fang somewhat understood the meaning of the tone in his words. But then again, how many sons and fathers in this world get along well?!

"Since he was a child, he has not been around us much, every time he is on the phone, every time he has very few words on the phone, except for the occasional New Year's holiday when he returns to the family, most of the time he is out of town. Busy at his construction site. Although I grew up and became more sensible, I knew his bitterness and helplessness, but after all, the relationship was so naturally estranged, and every time we went home to eat together, we were strangers. There's hardly a conversation. ”

"So you naturally don't know much about the things of the previous generation?" Xiao Fan then asked, "What about your mother?" Did she tell you, is there any secret they haven't told you? ”

"No, there are no secrets! I really don't know anything about my elders. Xiaotian was a little strange, and he suddenly asked, "What's the matter?" Do you have any clues? Does all this have anything to do with our ancestors? Why should you learn about the things of the older generation? ”

"I don't know. But I had a certain feeling that it all seemed to be related to something sleeping. So I don't want to let go of any clues. You know, we're ice floes hanging over ice cliffs right now, and there's no way around it. ”

"Also, I think we must be entangled in something. Maybe it has something to do with that night. ”

"Which night?" Xiaotian said tremblingly.

"That night at the country house." Xiao Fan mentioned again, "There was indeed something moving in the stairwell that night, in fact, when I went up to check, I saw a person, a woman's figure!" ”

"What?!" Xiaotian's voice began to tremble, Xiao Fan could imagine that he must be trembling not only his voice now, but also his body. He regretted it a little, he shouldn't have scared him so much, he was pathetic enough.
