The children said that Huo Yan lived in the bungalow at the easternmost end of the village.

It's already so late, if it were a normal person, he would have gone to bed a long time ago, but Lin Xi felt that Huo Yan definitely hadn't slept now.

It wasn't impossible to say why, maybe it was because this person was too good-looking, or because his indifferent eyes were obviously full of stories, Lin Xi was a little curious about him.

She came to the bungalow in the moonlight, thinking of seeing if the light was still on in the room, and knocking on the door if it was.

As a result, the light was on, and as soon as the hand that wanted to knock was raised, the wooden door of the bungalow creaked open.

Huo Yan raised his eyes and met Lin Xi's eyes.

“……”

"What a coincidence."

Lin Xi's hand was still in mid-air, and he forced out a sentence.

After finishing speaking, I want to bite my tongue even more - I stand at the door of someone's house in the middle of the night, where is the coincidence?

Huo Yan's expression was as usual, he didn't even frown, he just asked lightly: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Lin Xi froze and asked, "...... Are you going to the little square? ”

Huo Yan lifted the plastic bag in his hand, put it in the trash can at the door of his house, lowered his eyes and said, "Just take out the garbage." ”

Seeing Huo Yan's performance, Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although his tone was cold, he did not show any disgust or rejection for her, so he raised the bag in his hand: "I brought you something, can I go in?" ”

Huo Yan paused and didn't speak.

Lin Xi took out the medicine in the bag: "I saw that your hand was injured last night, and I didn't treat it in time when I saw it, and the wounds were all suppurated." ”

"I went to town today and went to the pharmacy to buy antiseptic and anti-inflammatory medicines. I'll take care of your wounds, or they'll get worse and worse. ”

"Why?" Huo Yan's eyes that were as silent as water finally had a trace of waves, and he raised his eyes and asked Lin Xi.

"What why," Lin Xi blinked, showing puzzlement, "Why did you buy medicine?" ”

Seeing Huo Yan pursing his lips slightly, Lin Xi muttered in a low voice, "You can't pretend not to see it if you see it... The wound was so deep that I felt pain when I looked at it. ”

Huo Yan was silent for a long time, as if he felt that it was too unkind to drive people back like this.

Turning sideways slightly, he motioned for Lin Xi to enter the house.

The child said before that Huo Yan's mother had not been back to the village for more than 20 years, but the house had been kept.

This bungalow looks a little old from the outside, and when you walk in, you have a sense of age.

The area is small, cracked concrete floors and cement walls, and the walls are plastered with yellowed old newspapers. There was a bright light bulb hanging on the top, apparently freshly replaced.

The furnishings couldn't be simpler, with a dilapidated wooden dining table and a few stools, a cement stove and clay kang, and a vertical old wooden wardrobe.

Other than that, there is almost nothing left at home.

There is not even a refrigerator, which is several times worse than the conditions of Chen Moyu's house.

"You've been doing it for a few days... Just living here alone? Lin Xi looked around, his brows furrowed slightly.

How can such a house be inhabited?

There was an old, musty smell in the air, and the bedding on the bed looked like it was from more than twenty years ago. The pot and stove are clean, and I don't know how Huo Yan has eaten these days.

However, in the blink of an eye, Lin Xi saw a pile of buckets of instant noodles on the cupboard.

No wonder he knew that the shop here closes at 10 p.m., and it turns out that he has been eating instant noodles for the past few days.
