Chapter 2: Invisible Friends
After returning from Tai'an City, I have spent many months in peace, and the little Buddha has not contacted me again, as if they have forgotten me for a long time.
I am very happy about this phenomenon.
He's finally getting his leg out of the muddy water, which is thankful!
Early one morning at the end of February, I received a phone call.
Zhang Liguo called, and when I saw this call, I felt that this grandson was doing my job again, really, this is my intuition.
"Hello?"
"Xiao Yi? Have you eaten? ”
I put my phone down from my ear and glanced at it in a daze, and when I saw the time on it, I wanted to curse the street.
Early in the morning, five o'clock sharp.
Uncle Zhang, now you ask me if I have eaten, is it for fun or for fun?
"I'm in a bit of a hurry here, why don't you come over?" Zhang Liguo's tone of speech was a bit sneering, and he was probably embarrassed.
"Okay"
Hearing him say this, I didn't want to refuse him, and as soon as I agreed, Zhang Liguo's next sentence made me stupid.
"I know that Xiao Yi is a good and enthusiastic boy, I am outside the side door of your house, come out quickly, I will drive you over."
I'm grass, you really don't have to be polite.
After hanging up the phone, I saw that the fat uncle was still asleep, so I didn't wake him up, I went to the toilet to wash my face and wake up, and a few minutes later, I went out empty-handed.
When I opened the door, I saw Zhang Liguo.
As usual, wearing a neat police uniform, he stood outside smoking a cigarette and waiting for me, his face a little anxious.
"Yo, Uncle Zhang, we drank several meals during the Chinese New Year, you were a fat look at that time, and you have lost a lot of weight after these days?" I asked, frowning.
Zhang Liguo smiled, took out a cigarette and handed it to me.
"I have a relative, something is wrong with his son, can you help me take a look?" Zhang Liguo asked me tentatively.
I was stunned and nodded.
Could it be that his relative's son had come across something unclean? Otherwise, how could you think of me!
"Can you tell me more about it?" I lit a cigarette and took a puff and said slowly.
Zhang Liguo nodded, took me into the police car, and when he smoked a cigarette and sorted out his words a little, he lowered his voice and spoke to me carefully.
The relative he was talking about was his cousin, and the child who had the accident was his nephew, called him uncle.
This kid doesn't know what's wrong with Lu Dao, since the day before yesterday, he has been talking nonsense, always talking about gods and ghosts, and often squatting on the windowsill, talking to the outside air, talking and laughing.
I was sent to the hospital and said it was hysteria, or it was paranoia and mental problems.
When Zhang Liguo learned about this, he remembered me immediately, and then within half an hour, he had already called me outside my wreath shop.
"It's strange, that kid is always babbling about things that are not clear, and I don't understand it, you can go and see it." Zhang Liguo said in a calm voice.
"Okay, let's go to the kid's house now?"
"That's right, go to his house, if this matter can't be solved, I'm afraid that the child will have to be sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment." Zhang Liguo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "That child is only eight years old, if he really goes to the hospital for treatment, it will be really evil." ”
Half an hour later, the car drove to the gate of a community on the edge of Xintian Avenue.
"Let's go, I'll take you up!"
After Zhang Liguo parked the car, he hurriedly pulled me into the community and went straight to the innermost residential building.
On the fifth floor, room 504, I still remember the house number quite clearly.
"Knock knock!!"
"Sixth! Open the door!! ”
After a while, the door was opened by a middle-aged man with a tired face, and when he saw us, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly welcomed us in.
"Little brother, you are Mr. Yi, right?"
"Hello uncle." I smiled awkwardly and took my cigarette.
Zhang Liguo patted me on the shoulder vigorously and said to me (also to the man): "This is my little brother, you can just call him Xiao Yi, don't Mr. Yi, you have more life, you call this sixth uncle." ”
"Sixth Uncle." I greeted helplessly, and said that Zhang Liguo is also enough, you say that I am your little brother, and you still call your cousin uncle? Isn't that a mess?
Zhang Liguo's cousin is the sixth in his family, so outsiders love to call him the sixth, even Zhang Liguo's relative.
It is said that he is a businessman, with a lot of money, at least a little more awesome than a well-off, which is considered a good fortune.
"Sit down, I'll pour you tea." The sixth uncle was about to get up politely to serve tea and pour water, but was stopped by Zhang Liguo: "Hurry up, I didn't come to drink tea when I found someone overnight, let him show my little nephew." ”
Hearing this, the sixth uncle smiled bitterly and said to me, "My brother should have told you about this, right?" ”
"Where's the kid? I'll take a look. I nodded.
"Sleep, I'll help you wake up Xiao An." When the sixth uncle heard me get straight to the point, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go into the bedroom to call his son out for me to see a doctor, but I stopped him.
"I'll go in and see for myself, maybe I'll see something." I laughed and said, "You can show me which bedroom it is." ”
Uncle Sixth didn't speak, and with a grateful face, he led me to the innermost bedroom door.
"You and Uncle Zhang are waiting outside, and I'll come out in a while." I said, softly pushing open the door and stepping inside.
Closing the door, I lit it up with my phone and cautiously walked to the bed.
This room is very much in line with the taste of children, and I have to say that the sixth uncle is also a person who loves children.
The paint on the walls is sky blue, with portraits of cartoon characters, and there are many stars and a moon on the top of the head, which is chic enough.
Walking over to the single bed, I crouched down and glanced curiously at the bed.
This child sleeps very soundly, and his little face is white and tender, which always makes people have the urge to pinch it, and I understood why the old man and the fat uncle loved to pinch me when I was a child.
"Nothing strange about it," I frowned at the child.
Suddenly.
"Big brother is good."
I watched the child speak in a daze, and when I saw him slowly open his eyes, I frowned, and then smiled: "Xiao An is okay." ”
"Is there something wrong with the big brother coming to me?" The child didn't seem to recognize life, sat up in a daze, rubbed his eyes and asked me, "Where is my father?" ”
I looked at him carefully, "Your dad is chatting outside." ”
The little guy sighed, rubbed his eyes, reached out and took out a packet of fruit candy from under the pillow, and handed it to me with a smile: "Big brother eats candy." ”
"Thank you, thank you." I took it stupidly, and then I was stunned for a moment, and went straight to the point: "Little guy, have you seen something strange lately?" ”
Xiao An looked at me in a daze, as if he didn't understand what I was talking about.
"It's something more terrifying," I asked quietly, trying to harmonize my descriptors.
Xiao An shook his head: "No." ”
As soon as the words fell, he took a fruit candy, slowly peeled it off, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"So Youmu has seen something interesting?" I turned on the cordial mode, and spoke in a childlike tone.
Xiao An tilted his head and thought about it, nodded, and shook his head again.
"Can you tell my big brother?" I asked.
It's okay if I don't say this, as soon as I say this, the corners of Xiao An's mouth flattened, and it looked like she was about to cry.
"Don't cry, hey, good, brother will peel candy for you." I said doggedly, helping this little guy peel fruit candy, with a courteous face.
Xiao An looked around in fear, and seeing that there was nothing abnormal, he clumsily crawled out of the bed, leaned into my ear and said, "My father doesn't allow me to say this, every time he says it, he scolds me." ”
There was confusion in my eyes: "Why are you scolding?" ”
"Call me, call me a liar." Xiao An's eyes were a little red, and he looked at me aggrievedly, faintly looking forward to it: "If I say those words to you, will you scold me, big brother?" ”
I shook my head: "No, if I scold you, I am my grandson." ”
"Grandson?" Xiao An looked at me suspiciously: "What is it?" ”
I almost forgot, this is a little kid, he definitely doesn't understand those high-grade sentences, and he has to be down-to-earth.
"I scold you, I'm a puppy." I said helplessly.
As soon as he heard my words, Xiao An immediately laughed, his childish voice was full of joy, and he pointed to my side: "I'll just say, my big brother won't scold me, you see, does anyone believe me!" ”
My scalp exploded, and a chill rushed out of my spine.
I grass.
