"What do you see?" Xiao Qian's voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Maybe it's just a wild dog, you stay here, I'll take a look. Gao Qian let go of her and whispered.

"No, I'll go with you. Xiao Qian shook her head in panic, she pulled the high-diving jacket and limped behind.

"What's wrong with your feet?" asked Gao Qiantou without looking back, moving slowly forward.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all......" Xiao Qian secretly gasped for air, trying not to make a louder sound from dragging her steps.

A muffled metallic sound came from the darkness around the corner, and both froze. The next moment, Gao Qian shook off Xiao Qian and rushed into the darkness.

Xiao Qian was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead. The darkness ahead seemed to lurk as a myriad of monsters, scarlet eyes, sharp teeth, and silent howls, white saliva dripping from the fangs. The scene of the attack in the bar came up unstoppable, and she began to tremble, and kept whispering: "High diving, high diving." ”

There was no answer.

After a moment, she took small steps forward, holding back her fear.

It was dark, almost all the light sources were in the dead end, and the whole building seemed to have been ripped off and recessed there. If it was daytime, she would see a large iron box painted dark green embedded in the recess. It is a sealed garbage bin, connected to the garbage chute in the building, and every Monday there is a garbage construction truck to collect the garbage, and the garbage bin is emptied. It's Monday, so it should be empty.

But now she couldn't see anything.

"High diving, high diving?" she cried out in a trembling voice, turning the corner, and now she saw the high diving standing on the other side of the dumpster.

The moonlight shone from behind him, and his face was hidden in the shadows, looking strange and terrifying. He opened the manual operation port on the top of the dumpster, held the metal lid the size of a manhole cover with one hand, and reached into the dumpster with the other.

"High Diving?" Xiao Qian's heart suddenly twitched for some reason, and she raised her voice, "High Diving!"

Gao Qian looked at her coldly, with a coldness that frightened her heart. He stopped smiling, no longer sneering at her, not even that kind of unreasonable look, he looked at her like she was a complete stranger.

"Gao Qian, what's wrong with you? Gao Qian, you speak!" Tears suddenly rolled out of his eyes, "Gao Qian, don't scare me!!"

Gao Qian lowered his eyes and slowly closed the top cover of the garbage can, and the metal box made a muffled "clang" sound.

Then he glanced at the moonlight and rubbed his jacket again.

"High diving?"

"Did you smell anything?" Gao Qian squinted at the moonlight and looked up, as if he had smelled something from the moonlight.

"What?" Xiao Qian hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, "No, I didn't smell anything." What do you smell?"

"Magnolia ......" Gao Qian glanced at her in a trance, "I obviously smell it." ”

"What? What magnolia?" Xiao Qian limped closer to Gao Qian and looked at his face carefully, "You just smelled the fragrance of magnolia just now, so you chased after him?"

Gao Qian lowered his head and looked at her silently, and after a while, he sneered: "What are you kidding, what magnolia, what good smell can there be next to the garbage can?"

"But you ...... just now," Xiao Qian cautiously looked at Gao Qian's face, "Did you find anything in the dumpster?"

"Found what?" Gao Qian asked faintly, and then his gaze fell on her ankle, "Can you go?"

Xiao Qian didn't answer, she just reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

Ten minutes later,

In the living room of Xiaoqian's apartment,

Gao Qian crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking at the white feet on the small table in front of him, as if looking at a medical plastic model: "It's swollen." ”

"Well, it's pretty high. Xiao Qian sat on the sofa, leaned her neck and looked at her ankles, agreeing.

"Probably need a warm compress. ”

"It's a cold compress. ”

"Is it cold or hot?"

"Cold compress, I often watch popular science documentaries, it must be cold compress. Xiao Qian was sure of the authenticity.

"Okay, where's your fridge?" Gao Qian shrugged and stood up, "I'll go find some ice." ”

Xiao Qian's face changed slightly at this time, and she jumped up on one foot: "I'm messed up in the refrigerator, you can't find it, you go to the bathroom to find two towels, and I'll go find ice." ”

"Are you okay?" Gao Qian watched as Xiao Qian jumped on one foot like a bird and jumped towards the kitchen.

"Okay, okay, you go find the towel, I'm here. Xiao Qian waved her hand without looking back, and disappeared behind the kitchen door.

Gao Qian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "What kind of delicious food is hidden in the refrigerator?" He shook his head slightly, looked around slightly, and walked towards the bathroom. The bathroom was easy to find because the bathroom door, which was all glass.

Xiaoqian's apartment is very large, although it is a two-bedroom room, but each room is much larger than the standard area. For example, the bathroom that Gao Qian saw at the moment was four times the size of the bathroom in his own rental apartment, not only with a bathtub and a separate shower room, but also with a large empty space between the bathtub and the sink.

At the moment, the beige floor tiles were covered with a black rubber mat the size of a table, and a drain for draining was peeking out next to the rubber mat. Gao Qian stared at the black mat a few times, and couldn't guess what it was for. I just think it's a bit similar to the kind of rubber non-slip mats that are commonly used in fresh markets that flow with sewage.

The whole bathroom was filled with a not very pleasant smell, and Gao Qian rubbed his nose, he thought that the gas seal of the floor drain must not be good enough, or maybe it was just because his nose was too smart.

Obviously, sometimes the five senses are too sharp, and it is also a kind of torture. Gao Diver tries to turn off the five senses that are too acute, and only retains a slightly more sensitive level than ordinary people. He couldn't control his five senses at ease, but at least it was much better than before.

He grabbed a few white towels from the shelves and went back to the living room. At this time, Xiao Qian jumped on her feet, and came back with a bunch of bottles and cans in the crook of her arm.

"Ice, and tape. Xiao Qian piled a bunch of things on the small table next to the sofa, "This is luncheon meat, I guess you're hungry, I've already opened it for you." This can is ready-to-eat chicken, these are pickles, and I don't know what you like, so I brought them all. It's an energy drink, and it's not very tasty, but it's said to be very tonic. ”

"Huh," Gao Qian glanced at the small table that was instantly full, and picked up the can of luncheon meat that had been opened and had a silver fork on it, "Isn't it?"

Xiao Qian's face flushed slightly: "It should be, I just thank you, you ...... today"

"I'm really hungry, but before I do, get your feet done. Gao Qian saw that the little table was already full of all kinds of food, so he sat down next to Xiao Qian and motioned for her to put her feet on her knees.

Xiao Qian blushed and did so.

"I think my hands are too strong and I speak. Gao Qian poured the ice cubes from the ice box onto a towel, wrapped them casually in a strip, and wrapped them around the swollen ankles.

Xiao Qian opened her mouth, as if she wanted to remind the high diving method that it was wrong, but then she closed her mouth with a slightly red face, and after a while, she whispered: "It doesn't hurt." ”

Wrapped around a towel and needing something to fix it, Gao Qian turned his head to look at the small table, and in the middle of the pile of food, there was a roll of wide silver tape. It's the kind of Hollywood movies that kidnappers often use to stick to hostages.

Gao Qian felt that if he teased "the taste is quite heavy" at the moment, Xiao Qian might not be able to understand it, so he simply didn't say anything, just pulled out one end of the tape and wrapped it around the ankle that was wrapped like a plaster.

Then he seemed to hear Xiao Qian say something, but it was too quiet, and he raised his head to confirm that Xiao Qian was really talking to him.

"Huh?"

Xiao Qian lowered her head and blushed: "I said, I have two bedrooms here, and in a while, you can sleep in the one where my roommate used to live." ”

"No, I'll leave when I'm done with your feet. Gao Dive wrapped the tape in a circle: "Oh yes, and your luncheon meat, I'll leave after eating." ”

Xiao Qian raised her head suddenly: "But, it's so late, it's definitely hard to call a car outside, and it's ......"

"I can call the taxi service company 24 hours a day, don't worry. "High Diving doesn't care about authenticity.

"But I don't dare to be alone. Xiao Qian's face suddenly turned red, but she stared at Gao Qian for a moment, "Please, Gao Qian, just today night, will you stay here?"
