Fragments of glass and damp tea leaves were piled up in the trash can, glittering with a sparkling light.

The water stains on the floor had been wiped off, but the damp marks hadn't dried yet, and the floor was a little darker.

On a colorful TV screen, a game character with a gun is on standby, occasionally turning his head to look around.

A half-meter-high storage bin on the floor near the couch is filled with assorted snacks, and a half-bag of uneaten potato chips is scattered on the coffee table. The gamepad is half-hung in the air, dangling.

The person who had been sitting on the sofa all the year round, wishing to be one with it, was no longer there.

Time passed little by little, the lights were not turned on in the room, and soon it was dark and only the vague outline of the furniture could be seen.

Shen Luotian looked at the pattern on his door in a daze, and had been standing at the door for a while.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and raised his hand to slam the door open.

The icy autumn wind greeted him, hit him in the face, and then bypassed his body and poured into the dimly lit living room.

The moment the door opened, a small sound sounded in his ears, and it sounded like someone was whispering.

"Look! He's out! ”

"He actually came out, I've been waiting here for half a month, and it's the first time I've seen what he looks like."

"You're so unlucky, I saw him teasing a couple of housekeepers by the window yesterday...... Hum! ”

"That's just seeing a silhouette, so far away, I can't see what people look like."

"You've only been waiting for half a month, and you're embarrassed to speak, but I've been waiting here for a month and a half!"

"Two months...... It's also the first time I've seen him come out. ”

"It's not the first time I've seen it, the last time seems to have been more than 70 days ago. He went out and threw out the garbage once. He didn't even look at me, he turned around and went back after throwing things away. ”

"Wow, you can actually block the garbage and throw it, my brother is amazing."

"I don't know what he's doing this time, throwing garbage again? Or do you buy food? ”

"Aha, you have to have perseverance. Youngster! ”

"But we're not human anymore! What else is needed for perseverance? ”

It's noisy.

Shen Luotian thought to himself.

It's always so endless, that's why I don't want to go out.

He was wearing a tracksuit, his long hair was tied in a ponytail and hung down behind his back, and his long bangs were pinned to the top of his head with a metal hairpin, revealing a pair of slender phoenix eyes.

He pressed one hand on the doorknob, the other held the car keys, his phone in his coat pocket, and the black headphone cord ran under his long hair. The headphones at the top were stuffed in his ears.

The music in the headphones was not small, and if you stood beside him, you could clearly hear the female voice inside muttering a soft Japanese song.

Even so, those whispers still passed through the noisy music, like countless sharp steel needles, which penetrated into Shen Luotian's ears word for word, shaking his eardrums.

Ah, it's annoying!

He groaned inwardly. At the same time, he opened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him.

How long has it been since I've seen anything outside the house?

Shen Luotian looked at the thing in front of him. Thinking suspiciously.

The last time I went out, the leaves were still green, and the sun in the sky was so bright that I felt like my eyes were going to be blinded at a glance.

At that time, it seemed to be hot in short sleeves, but now it's time to add a jacket and it will be cold.

The grass in the yard was still tender and green at that time, and it could be stepped on with bare feet, and it was soft. Cool.

There was a small lawn in front of the house, and there were a few wooden chairs and a small tea table on the lawn.

A long time ago, if it was a sunny day, it seems that there was such a thing as the whole family making a cup of tea in the yard and basking in the sun. The sun was warm at that time. It is very comfortable to shine on people, and it can melt people warmly.

It was as if every time I stayed for a long time, I would feel sleepy, and then I would listen to the chatter of the adults and fall asleep with my head down.

But every time I fall asleep outside, I don't know who is carried into the house, and finally wake up on the sofa or my own bed.

Shen Luotian narrowed his eyes and cast his gaze farther away.

Near the fence was a tall tree, and under it stood a swing shelf, which was now rusty, and the paint on the boards had almost fallen off, and the corners were even a little moldy. At this time, the swing was gently swaying with the breeze, making a "squeak" sound.

It's something that only my brother and I can play with all day when we're at home.

Oh yes, that's what they did for me when I was a kid, because I was worried that our two kids wouldn't be interesting at home, even though it's scrapped now...... But who did it?

Forget it, forget it.

At the end of the lawn, there is a high fence.

The red brick fence is topped by a decorative metal railing.

And outside the railing......

Shen Luotian looked at the dense shadows above the wall and sighed.

It was a vague shadow, looking like distorted human faces, leaning close together, eyes wide open and looking out into the courtyard inside the wall.

Compared with the dull expressions of those "people", their eyes looking at Shen Luotian were very smart, some were envious, some were painful, some were pleading, and some were angry and hateful......

It's like having a side-by-side meeting.

A gust of cold wind flew in front of Shen Luotian with a few yellowed leaves, blowing one of his spirits.

He was standing at the door of his house, in front of a vast world strange and chaotic, full of unknown dangers; And behind it is a safe and comfortable nest where he has been staying for many years.

He took a tentative step forward, hesitated again before tiptoe hit the ground.

Let's go back.

There was a voice in his heart that kept tempting him.

Why go out, walk out of this door, and then walk out of the door, and you have to face those boring humans, and those who are even more boring...... Dead humans.

They are all obviously the same greedy, ignorant, arrogant and arrogant guys. There is no difference between living and dying, and dying saves food for the motherland. ”

You can live a good life by yourself, so why do you want to see them?

And they're still so noisy, endlessly noisy, they can't listen to it if they want to.

What if something happened to Shen Yungui?

What is the use of blood, family affection and so on for you?

Obviously they don't care about you. Why do you bother to take care of them?

What's more, it's an ordinary murderous ghost, and he won't necessarily die, at most he will be troubled for a while.

If something really happened, he was also unlucky, wasn't he?

Wouldn't it be nice to close the door now, go back to the couch and continue eating, drinking, and playing games?

You don't have to waste any effort at all, you don't need to see these disgusting things, you can just sit and have fun with your hands, isn't that the best way for your lifestyle?

The loud sound of music in the headphones had already shaken his brain, but the endless noise was still coming into his ears, mixed into a blurred noise. Messing up his mind even more.

"My head hurts...... Shen Luotian moved his lips and whispered, "Don't make any noise......

The surrounding sounds seemed to be quieter for a while.

After a flurry of mosquitoes, the cacophony of voices became louder again, this time mixed with some strange screams.

"He's angry!"

"He just told us to stop arguing, he shouldn't be angry, right?"

"Then don't make any noise!"

"I'm not arguing, it's obvious that you're arguing, I just want to say hello to him."

"Do you call hello, it's more noisy than a wolf howling in the middle of the night!"

"He shouldn't be angry. It doesn't look like an angry person at all! ”

Shen Luotian lowered his head and looked at the door frame under his feet. Blinked.

He shrugged, smiled, reached down and pressed the doorknob, slowly pulling the door back.

The mobile phone in his trouser pocket suddenly vibrated a few times, and without any operation, he was inexplicably connected.

"Oh my God...... Where are you now? Shen Yungui's voice came from the earphones.

His voice sounded a little airy. He seemed to be lowering his voice and whispering. It's just that the volume of Shen Luotian's headphones is turned up too much, even if it is this kind of small sound that can't be smaller, when it reaches his ears, it still looks like someone is howling loudly in his ears.

"I ......" Shen Luotian looked at the door of the house in front of him, and said with some hesitation: "I'm ...... On the road. It may take a while to arrive, are you in a hurry? ”

"No hurry, no hurry...... I just called Xiaobei and he said he would come over in a while and let you stay at home. Shen Yungui's volume was a few degrees lower, and it sounded like a person with a broken voice who could only breathe out silently, "That thing looks quite honest now, and it hasn't done anything, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it." You just listen to your brother, don't come here, just stay at home. ”

"My brother?" Shen Luotian frowned when he heard this.

"Hmm...... He said he was on his way, it should be soon, you should go home now, don't stay out longer. After Shen Yungui said this, he paused, and asked again: "Ah yes, you just said that you stepped on the glass, how is it, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay...... It's just a stroke. As Shen Luotian said this, there was a blur in front of him, and several figures shook and flashed quickly.

Glare lights, red bloodstains, broken glass all over the floor.

Red skirt corners, dying driver. And bloodstained fingers.

The man in the cabinet shrunk into a ball, breathing softly, nervously looking at the red figure outside.

His eyes widened suddenly, and then he slammed open the door that was about to close completely, lowered his head and approached the microphone on the earphone cable, and said quickly over there: "You wait, stay in that cabinet and don't move, don't come out, don't come out no matter what's outside...... I'll be there soon, you must not come out until I arrive, you know, and don't call again, you know? “

"Huh? You want to come here? But Xiaobei ......" Shen Yungui seemed a little confused, and asked suspiciously: "Don't you like to go out?" Don't force it, I'm ...... now anyway."

A sharp and piercing voice interrupted Shen Yungui's words, coming from the earphones, stimulating Shen Luotian's already devastated eardrums.

The voice rang for a moment, paused for a few seconds, and then it sounded endlessly, sounding like something with steel nails on an iron plate, harsh and ugly, and giving people a creepy illusion.

"You just stay there, don't move, don't make any more noise, do you hear me?" Shen Luotian yelled at the other end of the phone, "I'll go directly to you when I arrive, and no one tells you to come out before that, understand!" ”

"But Xiaobei ......"

"He probably won't be able to go, and if you hear him talking to you, don't believe it, it's not him." Shen Luotian said this sentence in one breath. hung up the phone directly, walked to the car door in a few steps, and pressed the car key in his hand.

The buggy barked.

Shen Luotian opened the car door and jumped into the car.

The noise around was a few degrees higher, and the figures lying on the wall stretched their necks one after another, looking at Shen Luotian in the car expectantly.

"Get out!" He shouted at that side, lowered his head and started the car.

The shadow on the side of the wall was only halfway through his words, and they were boiling with each other, and when Shen Luotian raised his head to look at them again, they quickly dispersed, and disappeared cleanly within a few seconds.

He stepped on the accelerator, heard the engine roar, and felt the car fly away.

The off-road vehicle drove out of the yard with the sound of the wind, rolled up a few fallen leaves on the ground, and quickly disappeared into the night.

A few figures gathered around the wall again, lying on the high wall, whispering to each other.

"He's really angry."

"yes, I think he's probably angry."

"Then he won't help us, will he's going to keep waiting?"

"Why don't you wait, let's just wait for him to stop getting angry and ask him for help."

"But hasn't he ignored us all along? Has anyone spoken to him? ”

"Nope."

"Look, then don't wait, he ignored us before, and probably won't help us in the future."

"Don't worry, just keep waiting. He's going to help us, because he's ...... If you don't help us, will you help the living? ”

"I've always wanted to ask, why do you insist that he will help us? He's not...... Is it a living person? ”

"A living person? Hehe...... Do you think he looks like a living man? ”

In a smoky mountain in a distant southern province.

Ye Baiyu lay under the tree and closed his eyes to recuperate, and suddenly opened his eyes suddenly.

The girl beside him looked at him suspiciously.

"Ah Yu, what's wrong with you? Something happened. ”

"Not really." Ye Baiyu sat up slowly, glanced to the north, and smiled, "Xiao Tian'er, I just went out." ”

"Isn't that good?" The girl asked.

"That's good." Ye Baiyu nodded at the girl and smiled meaningfully, "I am very relieved that he is finally willing to take the initiative to go out."

(To be continued.) )

PS: Tell me something I don't know why I care.

The name of Tian'er is without pause, and the northern child's pronunciation.

Xiao Tian'er is the same.

That's what I thought in my head when I wrote it, so I want others to know about it.
