Chapter 6 Imperial Chess
When I finally got home, he went straight into the kitchen, and I put down my things and went to the kitchen, "I'll help you." ”
"Well, you can help me wash these dishes."
As I washed the vegetables, I said, "Actually, I'm not very good at cooking. ”
"It's okay, I will." I have to say that although he doesn't talk much, his sentence is really worth a thousand dollars.
We just like this I help, he is in charge of the kitchen, the first time to cooperate or very tacit understanding, dinner is two dishes and one soup, although there is no chat during the meal, but it feels very warm, this should be the simple life I want.
After eating, we washed the dishes together, and he suddenly asked, "Lin Min, what are your parents doing now?" "I wonder why he's asking me this? Do you want to get to know me? I can't help but feel ecstatic inside.
"They opened a small restaurant in Ciqikou, I'll take you to eat when I have time, it's delicious, Qianjiang chicken offal."
"Yes."
"Then," I almost asked what about your parents, but fortunately I remembered that he had said that he had no family, so I asked, "Did you go out to find someone today?" ”
"Yes."
"Any news?"
He suddenly turned to look at me and said, "There's news." ”
I wondered, "What's going on?" Can you tell me about it? "
"You'll find out later." "Oh." Maybe he wanted to find it and tell me again. "What did you do today?" "Me?" Unexpectedly, he actually asked me, "This morning, I went to the Yangtze River to interview the murder case, and the police said that it might be a robbery and murder case, and that person had his throat cut, which is so pitiful." The afternoon is a good thing to interview a good person, and I haven't written a manuscript yet, but this kind of news is easy to write. "Why rob and kill?"
"Because there was nothing left on the body but a rag, they thought it must have been taken by the criminals. By the way, why do you think I have bad feelings about me? “
He put the washed dishes back in the cupboard and said with a smile, "Just kidding." ”
I didn't even reflect it for a moment, just looked at him. I didn't expect him to look quite cold, but he could still joke with me, I don't know what kind of person he is.
He said to me, "It's already packed, you can go and write the manuscript."
I nodded, and went back to my room to write. It took an hour to finally write it and send it to Team Leader Li. When I came out, there was no one, Meng Yingjiu's door was open, but the lights were not turned on, it was dark. I shouted: "Meng Yingjiu! "I didn't answer, it seems that I went out, what are you going out for this night?
I went to his room and turned on the light, and I was amazed that his room was so neat. I thought about it and turned off the lights and went out, in case he suddenly came back and saw me again this time I really couldn't tell.
So I went to take a shower. Just as I was listening to the song and taking a bath, I suddenly heard someone walking outside, so he must have returned. I didn't care, began to wash my face, when I wiped the water on my face and opened my eyes, I suddenly saw a shadow outside the toilet door, I was so frightened that I covered my mouth all of a sudden, I didn't dare to move, fortunately I locked the door of the toilet, I could only quietly look at the shadow outside the door, I only felt numb, and the water poured on my body did not feel at all.
The reason why I say that it is a shadow is because I can be sure that it is definitely not a shadow of a person, although it is also the appearance of a person, but it does not correspond to the proportion of normal people at all. The head was long, and the hands were so long that they almost reached its knees.
I feel like I'm going to faint, what kind of monster is this? It can't be that Meng Yingjiu is scaring me again, how can he be so boring? But I didn't dare to speak.
After about a minute or two, the shadow outside the door turned away, and as soon as it turned around, I was more sure that it was not human, that it seemed to have something on its back, and that its head should be cone-shaped, and the top of its head was very pointed, like a cone resting diagonally on his shoulder.
I still didn't dare to move, I didn't dare to approach the toilet door, I didn't dare to turn off the water, for fear that the monster would notice movement here. I had to take my phone, but who should I call? Do you call the police?
When I was struggling, I suddenly heard the sound of the security door opening outside, and then someone came in and closed the door. The man walked in the living room for a while, then walked to the toilet, this time there was really a figure in front of the door, and then he knocked on the door and said, "Lin Min, are you inside?" “
It was Meng Yingjiu's voice, but I was still not sure, so I asked, "Is it really you?" ”
"Well, are you alright?"
"It's fine." I turned off the shower. When I put on my pajamas and walked to the door, I still hesitated, thought about it and asked the people outside, "You say, what do my parents do?" ”
It should really be him, I carefully opened a gap, and saw Meng Yingjiu standing outside the door, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, so I opened the door and said to him while gesturing: "There was a monster in our house just now!" It's really terrible, it has a long head and long hands, it's definitely not a person, and where did you just go? "Oh." After saying that, he sat down on the couch.
I didn't expect him to be so calm again, he shouldn't think I was joking, "I didn't lie to you, there really is a monster!" But how can there be monsters in this world? By the way, aliens for sure! “
He ignored my speculation and just pointed to my pajama pocket and asked, "What's inside?"
I took it out and saw that it was an amulet given to me by my grandfather, and I took it to sleep last night when I was scared, and then I put it in my pajama pocket.
"This is my talisman."
He took it from my hand and opened it, and I hurriedly said, "Can't open it!" But it was too late, and he opened the bag, and took out from it a small stone the size of a glass bead, with some patterns on it, but it was smooth, like a pebble. "This is the amulet? My grandfather wasn't kidding. "How do you protect yourself from a pebble? No wonder I don't want to open it, it turns out that I'm afraid of goofs!
"How can it be a pebble? I used to wonder if it would be a relic. "I reached for the stone, and as soon as my fingertips touched it, I found that it was so hot that it was like a charcoal fire." Ah. "I was so hot that I retracted my hand." Why is it so hot? But Meng Yingjiu held it firmly in his hand, and I couldn't help asking, "Don't you think it's hot?" ”
"I don't think so." After saying that, he put the stone back in the bag, tied it, handed it to me and said, "This is the Emperor Taiqi, which was originally sacrificed to the gods, and you can protect you by putting it away." ”
I was burned just now, and I didn't dare to reach out and take it for a while. "Why don't you feel hot?"
He didn't answer me, but took my hand and put the bag in my hand, "Oh hey, don't" I wanted to hide, but he pulled me and couldn't dodge. But when the bag is placed in my hand, it is not hot, and it is a normal temperature.
"Huh! Why do I want to say why is it not hot in the bag, and can this cloth bag still stop the heat transfer? was ruthlessly interrupted by Meng Yingjiu: "You remember to take it with you at all times." ”
"Oh." Could this be the reason why my grandfather won't let me open it? Because it's hot? But why did Meng Yingjiu hold it so easily, and his expression didn't look like he was holding it hard? And where did Grandpa get this stone from? I used to think it was bought in the temple, but I don't seem to have heard of this emperor's chess?
"How do you know this is Emperor Chess? I've not heard of it. "I've seen it before." "Oh. But why don't you feel hot? "I don't know about that." After speaking, he got up: "It's not early, let's rest early." Put it away. "I went back to my room.
I searched for "Ditai Chess" on my computer, but I didn't find anything. I wanted to call my grandfather, but I took out my mobile phone and found that it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, and my grandfather must have gone to sleep, so I should go back and ask him next time, and I couldn't tell him on the phone.
I put down my phone and lay down on the bed. Thinking of the ghost just now, it must be an alien, the reason why it didn't dare to approach me must be because of water, or shower gel? Forget it, whatever, I'm glad I'm still lying here.
How did you encounter so many strange things in the past two days? I was almost kidnapped by aliens.,Originally,In my mind, aliens should be handsome, charming and superpowers like Professor Du.,But the reality is always too cruel.。
Could it be my hallucination? I began to wonder if it could be that I had been stressed so much lately that I was thinking so cranky that I had hallucinations. Because I believe in science, I really can't believe that there is anything unreliable in this world. Thinking about it, I fell asleep.
In the morning, I heard someone knocking on my door, and I was so stimulated lately that I woke up with a start, "Who?" “
I heard Meng Yingjiu say outside the door: "It's already 8:35, aren't you going to work today?" "What?" I can't believe it, why is my alarm not going off? I took my phone and looked, and sure enough, it was already 8:35, and although the house I rented was very close to the newspaper office, only a 10-minute walk, I still had to change my clothes and wash my face
I hurriedly got up, changed my clothes with lightning speed, went to the toilet to wash, and after we were done together, I took my bag and hurried out, and saw Meng Yingjiu sitting leisurely on the sofa, I couldn't help but be angry, so I said to him while putting on my shoes: "Why didn't you call me earlier?" Do you want to see my jokes? “
He looked at me innocently and said, "I just came back, and when I found that you hadn't left, I called you." "You're only coming back now?" I was surprised and asked, I didn't feel him go out last night, what were you doing in the middle of the night?
He looked up at the clock on the wall: "It's 8:50." "Let's leave it at that, I'm leaving." After that, I went out, but unfortunately the elevator didn't come for a long time, but I'm on the 19th floor! It was impossible to take the stairs again, and finally waited for the elevator. After leaving the community, I ran all the way and finally arrived at the newspaper office at 8:59.
As soon as I sat in my seat, Xiao Zhang asked with a wicked smile, "Lin Min, what's the matter?" You don't usually get so late, do you? Was it too late to go on a blind date last night? “
I gasped and said, "Do you have anything to eat, I left in too much hurry today, and I didn't buy anything to eat!" "I still have two buns, both for you, tell me about last night's blind date!" "Why are you such a gossip from a big man?" I took the bun and started eating. "I don't care about my colleagues. After all, you're all like that."
I hated him, and he immediately swallowed back the phrase "You're so old". Think about last night, dinner was romantic, but then the alien was too scary. So while eating, he said, "Don't mention it, I met aliens last night." "Oh, what a strange thing?"
Xiao Zhang thought that the aliens I was talking about were describing the blind date, so I had to say, "No, I really saw aliens!" It's too deformed. "Hahahaha." Xiao Zhang couldn't help but smile after hearing this: "It seems really strange that you can be said to be an alien." "Hey." I sighed and didn't bother to explain any more. I went and poured a glass of water and came back to drink, and then began to read the newspaper and wait for news. remembered that Meng Yingjiu said that he only came back in the morning, what was he doing at night? In fact, if you think about it, he is very strange, elusive, does not use a mobile phone, and says that I have strange feelings about him, what kind of person is he?
