CHAPTER XXI
Xia Beifeng stared at Ning Lu for a while, then slowly turned his head, continued to stare at the book in his hand, and asked Shen Luotian casually, "Is there still cinnabar at home?" ”
"Yes, ...... on the second floor"
Before Shen Luotian finished speaking, he saw the person in front of him carrying the book in his hand and walking straight to the stairs.
A cripple walks so fast?
He watched in surprise as Xia Beifeng's figure disappeared at the corner of the stairs, and then shifted his gaze to Ning Lu again.
When he saw Ning Lu last night, he had always thought that this girl was a patient who died in the hospital, so he didn't pay much attention to her.
But now it seems that since the girl was able to come with her, leaving aside how she came to be, the mere fact of being able to enter the courtyard was very problematic.
Ning Lu stood on the lawn and watched the very good-looking young man in the room get closer to him little by little.
The man's slender and deformed shadow fell on the lawn, enveloping the petite girl in shadow.
A man and a ghost stared at each other through a layer of transparent glass for a moment.
Shen Luotian was not short, and standing in front of the glass window almost blocked all the lights in Ning Lu's sight.
Ning Lu looked up at the people in the room, her eyes flickering, and she put on a confused expression like a simple girl who had not been deeply involved in the world, but all kinds of thoughts were spinning in her mind.
Can he see me? So why keep pretending not to see?
Then now they don't ignore me, why?
Is he going to destroy me?
But I didn't offend him!
Shen Luotian looked Ning Lu's dress up and down, frowned, and seemed to be hesitating to say something.
Xiaoxi, your breeder will kill me, come and save me!
Ning Lu raised her hands to protect her chest and looked at him defensively.
"You ......" Shen Luotian stared thoughtfully at Ning Lu's chest. Said slowly: "The ...... I wear"
Ning Lu worked hard to support a shell of "I'm not afraid of you", but in fact, she was already afraid, and she almost had to hold on to maintain her standing posture, instead of kneeling directly on the ground and crying "Let me go, hero".
It's also strange to say, Shen Luotian actually looks quite kind, and he usually looks confused. Although he doesn't talk with a little smile like his brother, he doesn't look like a bad person.
And he is good-looking, in fact, he should be very popular with a little girl of this age.
Every time Ke Ninglu saw him, she would instinctively feel a sense of fear in her heart.
It is an innate, intuitive feeling when the weak face the strong.
Ning Lu had lived for seventeen years and had never encountered such a strange feeling. So much so that now she knows that she is scared, but she does not know how to describe her feelings.
It's like a newborn rabbit, although he doesn't know anything about the world, and he doesn't even know what to eat. But if a tiger stands in front of it. Even just seeing a back from a distance was enough for it to be frightened and weak, and it couldn't even raise the courage to escape.
She raised her hand, waved it stiffly at Shen Luotian a few times, and struggled to squeeze out a stiff smile, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and greeted Shen Luotian with difficulty.
"Hi, handsome guy. Hello. ”
The stiff movements are like an electronic beckoning cat.
Shen Luotian nodded at her, raised his hand and knocked twice on the glass right on her chest.
The thick glass made a few crisp sounds.
Ning Lu trembled visibly when she heard this voice. It's like a kitten cub that has been blown up.
"The other one on your chest is Hatsune." Shen Luotian asked with a smile.
This sentence echoed in Ning Lu's ears for a long time before it officially fell into her mind.
She slowly lowered her head and glanced at her chest.
There was a blue iron badge with a cartoon girl holding a microphone and a blue ponytail.
"Oh. Yes. She replied blankly.
Then she heard the man on the other side of the glass window ask her, "Asuka or Lingboli?" ”
"Huh?" Ning Lu looked at the person in front of him with a confused expression, and said three words hesitantly.
Xia Beifeng turned out cinnabar and yellow paper, and when he walked downstairs again, he saw a very "harmonious and loving" scene.
Ning Lu sat on the sofa at his house with her knees crossed, nodding her head with admiration on her face. From time to time, a few interjections with unknown meanings such as "ah", "wow", "it can be like this", "そうか", "すごい\'" and so on.
Shen Luotian had a laptop in front of him, and the mouse in his hand flashed bright lights, moving quickly on the desktop.
Xia Beifeng stood in the middle of the stairs and smiled.
Well, that's getting people into the house.
What's in your head?
Ning Lu raised her head and glanced at Xia Beifeng, smiled perfunctorily at him, then lowered her head again, staring intently at Shen Luotian's computer screen, her eyes flashing with longing.
Xia Beifeng took a deep breath, calmed down, tried his best to maintain a usual chatting tone, and asked at the people and ghosts below, "What are you two looking at?" ”
Shen Luotian turned his head to glance at him, but immediately lowered his head and stared at the computer screen again.
"You know what?" He pointed to Xia Beifeng on the stairs and said to Ning Lu: "This person actually likes girls with big breasts. ”
"Heresy!" Ning Lu raised her arm and shouted.
Xia Beifeng looked around left and right, but found nothing, and finally took out his lighter in his trouser pocket and smashed it on Shen Luotian's head.
Shen Luotian didn't even bother to give a charity this time. He just raised a hand and caught the heavy lighter steadily.
"Thank you."
He shouted in a long voice, then lowered his head and pulled out a pack of cigarettes under the coffee table.
Xia Beifeng slowly moved down from the handrail of the staircase, took out a cigarette in the cigarette case, and stretched out his hand at Shen Luotian.
"I thought you were going to give it to me." Shen Luotian said without raising his head, raised his hand and put the lighter in Xia Beifeng's palm.
"Take it if you want." Xia Beifeng lit a cigarette, threw the lighter on the table, stretched out his arms and leaned on the sofa. He let out a sigh of relief, "Why did you let her in?" ”
"She came in with you." Shen Luotian closed the computer screen, raised his head to stare at Xia Beifeng's face, and asked in surprise, "You actually don't know about this?" ”
Xia Beifeng shook his head quickly, the shock on his face was not much smaller than that of Shen Luotian.
Ning Lu looked at these two people in confusion, obviously not even knowing what the two of them were talking about.
"Okay, let's sort out what happened now."
When saying this. A few people were huddled around the already empty coffee table. Xia Beifeng and Shen Luotian sat on the sofa, while Ning Lu and Xiaoxi knelt on the floor, and the two ghosts formed a circle, staring at a blank piece of paper in the center of the coffee table.
"At first, it was Ning Lu, you came home from school one night......" Xia Beifeng said and wrote a "1" on a blank piece of paper.
"It's not coming home from school." Ning Lu lay on the edge of the coffee table depressedly, looked at the white paper, drew circles on the glass coffee table with her fingers, and whispered: "I didn't go home after school, and I walked around until ten o'clock." ”
"Why?" Shen Luotian shouted in surprise: "There are people in this world who don't want to go home. I also like to hang out outside! ”
"Oh, I see." Xia Beifeng ignored Shen Luotian's babbling, stretched out his hand and wrote four words behind the "1" - running away from home.
"Hey! I didn't run away from home! Ning Lu protested loudly: "I just quarreled with my mother, I just don't want to see her for the time being!" ”
"We adults generally call this running away from home." Xia Beifeng said as he raised his hand and pointed at the tip of Shen Luotian's nose with a pen, and said with a smile: "You shut up for me." ”
Shen Luotian slowly closed his half-opened mouth, and lay on the coffee table to staring at Ning Lu with big eyes.
Xiao Xi stared curiously at the pen in Xia Beifeng's hand, and he didn't know what he thought, so he bent his eyes and smiled.
"You ran away from home. At ten o'clock in the evening, he was wandering alone on the street when he met Song Minghui. Xia Beifeng said and wrote a "2" on the paper.
"Song Minghui?" Ning Lu asked suspiciously, "Who is that?" ”
"It's the one who drove the red car. Kill the guy you hit me again. Xia Beifeng quickly explained, wrote the word "Song Minghui" after the "2", looked up at Ning Lu and asked: "After meeting him, say everything you can think of, don't let go of a single detail." ”
Ning Lu nodded, tilting her chin and tilting her head to look at the paper. whispered: "What happened after I met him...... I don't even remember, I just remember that I looked at him, and then I fainted, and then I died. ”
"Don't remember anything?" Shen Luotian frowned and glanced at Xia Beifeng's expression, as if confirming his thoughts, he asked him, "It shouldn't be possible." ”
Xia Beifeng nodded. The pen in his hand kept tapping on the piece of paper, looked at Ning Lu and said, "If you think about it again, you can say whatever you can think of." ”
"I don't even remember what he looked like." Ning Lu sniffed aggrievedly, lowered her head depressedly, and looked at the empty glass coffee table, "I was walking on the road, and suddenly I heard someone calling me behind me, saying that he wanted to ask for directions." As soon as I turned around, I only saw a figure in the car, and I fainted...... Oh yes, he's not just in that car, there's a woman. ”
Shen Luotian squinted his eyes when he heard the word "woman", and he secretly glanced at Xiao Xi, who was sitting next to Ning Lu.
Xiaoxi stared down at the bow in her hair, seemingly completely immersed in her own world, not paying attention to what they were discussing.
"Female?" Xia Beifeng repeated, and wrote the word "woman" after the three words "Song Minghui" "What else is there besides women." ”
"And ...... Hmm......" Ning Lu looked up at the ceiling, trying to recall the last small memory when he was alive, "It seems that there is a strange smell of perfume on that man's body...... It smells like the incense of Guanyin offered by my grandmother. ”
"Scent." Shen Luotian said softly.
Xia Beifeng wrote the word "incense" on the paper, turned his head and nodded at Shen Luotian.
"Can you think of anything else?" He asked Ning Lu again.
Ning Lu shook her head happily.
"Then tell me how you died, remember?"
"Hmm...... I don't remember the process either. Ning Lu's mood became more and more depressed when she said this, and her voice was as small as a mosquito humming, "Anyway, it's dead, I feel like I've fallen asleep, and when I wake up, I see my own fallen body." The pervert was cut into many pieces, first the plastic bag was stuffed in the trunk of the car for three days, and then he piled it up in the basement freezer. ”
Xia Beifeng wrote a "3" on the paper again, and then wrote the word "freezer" immediately after the "3", and after thinking for a while, he added the word "car".
"Where's the female ghost with you?" Without looking up, he asked, "What's the matter with her?" ”
"She's like a psychopath!" Ning Lu had a look of disgust on her face when she mentioned the female ghost. He quickly said, "I haven't spoken to her at all. She's crazy every day, catching whoever bites whom, and likes to stand in the middle of the road and push the cart to play, and you don't know the first person to be hit by her, but she had a car accident before and it was over, and I don't know why she had to kill you the day before yesterday. ”
"I don't know." Xia Beifeng stared thoughtfully at the three words "crazy woman" just written on the paper, and said in confusion: "Why do you want to kill me?" ”
"Then you haven't seen what Song Minghui looks like later, have you?" Shen Luotian suddenly asked, "Even if you have been dead for so long, you have never seen him in the car every day?" ”
"When I'm dead, I look at him like he's separated by a barrier. I can't see it clearly at all. Ning Lu said and gestured a few times at his face, "That's it, it feels like a layer of black mist." ”
"Oh, I see." Shen Luotian nodded as he spoke, whistled at Xiaoxi, reminded her to pay attention to the conversation of several people, and turned her head like Ning Lu and asked, "Then do you know why you followed my brother?" ”
"Oh, I have a thread in my hand!" Ning Lu stood up excitedly and stretched out her wrist to show him, "Transparent." You can't see it. But there is. Right here, tethered from my wrists. The other end was in the uncle's hand, and I followed the line to find him. ”
She said and gestured at a spot on her wrist.
"I can see it." Shen Luotian said softly: "Xiaoxi, show her." ”
Xiao Xi nodded when he heard this, raised his slender wrist, and grabbed something in mid-air with his other hand, and gently tugged on the side.
A clear strangulation mark appeared on her wrist. It's like there's a very thin transparent thread wrapped around it.
"Wow!" Ning Lu stared at Xiaoxi's wrist and sighed, turned her head to look at Shen Luotian curiously and said, "What is this?" ”
"It's a contract." Shen Luotian explained a few words perfunctorily: "I promised her that I would help her avenge her, but what I said became this kind of thing, tying the two of us together until I promised her that the matter was done." Until then. As soon as the thread is untied, she will go to reincarnation. ”
Ning Lu nodded a few times subconsciously, but there was an expression on her face, "What are you talking about, I don't understand."
"So, this uncle is connected to this one in my hand, which means that he has promised to avenge me, right?" Ning Lu looked at Xia Beifeng for a while, and asked suspiciously, "I said this uncle, can you do it!" ”
"Nothing will work, I didn't promise you anything." Xia Beifeng also glanced down at his wrist as he spoke, and at the same time said to Shen Luotian: "Don't believe it, I didn't promise her anything." ”
"You must have promised, otherwise there would be no such thing, and she would not have been able to enter this yard without your mark." Shen Luotian said seriously: "Could it be that you don't want to admit it and deliberately pretend to be stupid." ”
Xia Beifeng closed his eyes and slowly shook his head a few times.
"That's if you said yes, but then you forgot about it. You see, you have a concussion, and your brain is not very good. ”
Shen Luotian made another assumption.
Xia Beifeng rolled his eyes, wrote the word "line" on the paper, threw the pen in his hand, leaned on the sofa and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Shen Luotian pinched the piece of paper and looked at it carefully several times.
After a while, he turned his head to look at Ning Lu, who was playing with the pen with Xiaoxi.
"I have one more question." He said softly, "Miss Ning Lu, can you tell me what your grandmother's profession is." ”
