In the middle of the night, the moon hangs high and there is silence.

Satsuki rolled over, and a burst of coughing came to her ears.

She lifted her heavy eyelids, and she was greeted by the woman's waist-length hair and curled back.

She rubbed her eyes, and through the few bits of moonlight, she could see the scene in front of her.

It was a small room, shabby, with several beds lined up in front of each other, and the sound of even breathing could be heard from above.

Only the woman on the bed in front of her was coughing incessantly.

Suddenly, there was a sound of turning over and snorting, and the woman suddenly stopped coughing.

In a moment, she stretched out her hands, covered her mouth tightly, wrapped the quilt around her head again, and coughed lowly.

Xiao Yue frowned, and the woman in front of her looked very painful.

Immediately, she sat up, picked up the rusty kettle, walked over to the woman, and patted her gently.

The woman lifted the quilt, her face was pale, her eyes were black, and a few blue veins could be faintly seen on her forehead.

A sickly look.

Xiao Yue sat on the edge of the bed, poured a glass of water and handed it to her, and said softly, "Xiao Yi, drink some water." ”

Xiao Yiqiang stood up, took the water and drank it.

Satsuki looked at her, but her gaze was fixed on her wrist.

Xiao Yi's wrist is very thin, a thin layer of skin tightly wraps the pitiful flesh, the palm is black and yellow, the bones at the knuckles are prominent, the mud and dirt are hidden in the cracks of the nails, and the five fingers are like chicken feet.

Xiao Yue frowned, Xiao Yi was already thin and skinny.

She drank it in one gulp, and after putting down the water glass, she gasped for breath and looked straight at Satsuki with her eyes.

"Satsuki, I'm so hungry."

"Wasn't it not long after dinner?"

"I didn't eat it!" She shook her head violently, bit her bloodless lower lip, and muttered, "There is a famine out there now, there are many children in the orphanage, and I have tuberculosis again, and I am useless to him." ”

Xiao Yue was stunned, she looked at the withered woman in front of her, and subconsciously asked, "He?" ”

"It's the dean," Xiao Yi pulled the corners of his mouth weirdly, his eyes were blank, "for three days in a row, he only gave me a bowl of white porridge and left me to fend for myself." ”

Satsuki's gaze became complicated, and she was about to ask what when the candle suddenly lit up, and the girl's cheek gradually approached.

"Xiaoyi, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, why are you crazy here?" Yun'er's willow eyebrows were upside down, and a pair of apricot eyes glared at her vigorously, "You also know that there is a famine outside now, and there are many children in the orphanage. ”

Saying that, Yun'er snorted, "We all watched with our own eyes, after you got sick, the dean sent you fresh meals every day, Xiaoyi, you really had a conscience and were eaten by dogs, and you spewed blood in this mouth!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yi lowered his head and stopped talking.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Yun'er snorted coldly, "This is like having tuberculosis, it's more like having hysteria!" Immediately, she looked at Xiao Yue, "You stay away from her, don't be infected with hysteria by her." ”

Xiao Yue pursed her lips, and after Yun'er finished speaking, she walked out of the house with a candle, and she didn't know where she went.

Silence returned to the house.

Xiao Yue sighed, Yun'er was right, Xiao Yi was sick and weak, and in the past few days, the dean personally carried a plate full of meals and went to the house to give it to Xiao Yi.

This is obvious to all.

Just as she was about to get up to leave, her wrist was suddenly clenched tightly.

The cold temperature spread upward, she couldn't help but shiver, and when she turned her head to look, she found that Xiao Yi was dragging her.

A person who is obviously skinny and skinny, but he has great strength.

Satsuki struggled hard, but couldn't move.

She sighed helplessly, and asked patiently, "Xiaoyi, what are you dragging me for?" ”

Xiao Yi bowed her body and buried her head between her knees, she shrugged her shoulders up and down, and asked angrily, "Xiao Yue, do you believe me?" ”

Xiao Yue was stunned, she thought Xiao Yi was crying, so she said comfortingly, "I believe in you." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yi stopped shrugging his shoulders.

"Only you believe me, they are all blinded by his illusions."

The next moment, she trembled, slowly raised her head, and looked at Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue was shocked, Xiao Yi was not crying at all.

The corners of her mouth were raised, revealing a row of teeth, which was particularly terrifying in the silence of the night.

"Xiaoyue, he threatened me with my family and didn't let me tell me about his refusal to give me food, but now, I don't live long, after I die, can you help me go and see my family?"

At some point, the sky was covered with dark clouds, covering the moon tightly, and the wind was raging outside, beating heavily on the narrow windows.

Xiao Yi in front of her seemed to have changed a person, she smiled hard, and the layers of skin on her face bloomed, which was extremely weird.

Satsuki couldn't stand it anymore, her scalp was numb, and she turned around and ran out of the house.

Outside the house, hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor, and Satsuki ran quickly, her heart pounding in her chest.

She couldn't believe that the once cute and mellow little one had become this ghost.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain, and with the woman's 'oops', Satsuki was knocked backwards.

"It hurts me to death, who is running wild in the corridor at night!" The person in front of him grumbled.

Xiao Yue looked up, Yun'er was holding a candle and was patting the dust on her clothes.

And next to her, there was a middle-aged man.

The man was of ordinary appearance, of medium height, of chubby build, wearing a pair of eyes, and in the dark night, his eyes were unusually shiny.

It's the dean.

"It's Satsuki, it's so late, what are you doing in the corridor?" The man smiled kindly, bent over, and stretched out a pair of large thick palms in front of her.

Xiao Yue was stunned, and then, she waved her hand, declined the man's help, and stood up on her own.

Yun'er raised her eyes and saw a thin layer of sweat on Xiaoyue's forehead, and her face turned pale, she rolled her eyes, "Look at your overly frightened appearance, is Xiaoyi crazy again?" ”

Xiao Yue looked at the two of them, and Xiao Yi's infiltrating appearance suddenly appeared in her mind, and for a while, she didn't know where to start.

She didn't pay attention to Yun'er, but subconsciously asked, "Dean, why are you here?" ”

The dean sighed lightly, "Because of Xiao Yi, Yun'er just came to the office to look for me and told me what just happened," as he said, he helped his glasses, "Xiao Yi's condition is very bad, she is likely to have hysteria, she can no longer live with you now, I will bring her to my office, and find a doctor to treat her tomorrow." ”

After speaking, Yun'er nodded approvingly, glanced at Xiao Yue, and then, she followed behind the dean, and the two walked towards the room.

Xiao Yue looked sideways, in the dark, Yun'er stood beside the dean, holding a candle in one hand and holding the dean's arm in the other, the two talked and laughed, extremely ambiguous.
