Chapter 170: Lighter (1)

The old men in the pavilion were all staring at the chessboard, and no one noticed Chen Xi who appeared behind them.

Chen Xi's voice was very weak and soft, and his voice seemed to be blown away by the wind at any time.

She opened her mouth a few times, but no one looked back, so she had to reach out and pat the shoulder of an uncle in front of her.

Uncle Han was wearing thin down, with the zipper of his clothes open, his hands behind his back, and he stretched his neck to look at the chessboard in the crowd. He suddenly became a spirit, his body flicked, and he turned around in surprise, and then he saw Chen Xi.

"Can it be lighter?" Chen Xi's voice was still not loud.

At this time, the excited old men had calmed down a little. The two players in the game are ready to take the next step. The sound of a falling child coincided with Chen Xi's soft voice.

The old men all discovered Chen Xi, and everyone turned their heads together, making the scene a little weird.

"Please be gentle." Chen Xi's black hole eyes scanned everyone, and the gaze seemed to have no focus, but it brought great pressure to people.

Uncle Han, who was photographed by Chen Xi, subconsciously took a step back.

"I'm sorry for you." After Chen Xi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

She didn't walk fast, and walked out of the gazebo step by step, her body swaying in the sun, as if she was going to fall down at any moment.

"This is the one in Building 30?" An old man opened his mouth and suppressed the volume.

The others nodded one after another, and some people didn't know Chen Xi and asked curiously.

"It's a girl in our building, living alone, renting a house. She has a problem here. "Uncle Han also lives in Building 30, just downstairs under Chen Xi, and compares his own temples when he speaks.

"My son said it could be depression. It's the one that's popular right now. ”

"She herself said she had insomnia." Uncle Han provided information again, "She can't hear it at all." Several neighbors before were all unbearable by her. Speaking a little louder, she knocked on the door. ”

"No one said anything about her?" An old man who didn't know Chen Xi asked in surprise.

"The police have been called. People didn't do anything excessive. As soon as you screamed, she came and knocked on the door. You don't turn down your voice, and she keeps knocking. Uncle Han could only sigh.

He and his wife are getting older, watching TV, talking, and sometimes raising their voices unconsciously.

As long as Chen Xi was at home, he would frequently knock on the door, so that they had to correct this habit.

Recently, Chen Xi doesn't know whether he is unemployed or resigned, and he will stay at home during the day. This made Uncle Han and his wife even more miserable. Yesterday, his wife also said that she was going to buy a hearing aid for the elderly.

"Didn't Lao Yang knock on the door by her? Now I even cover my mouth for coughing. Another old man also provided information.

A few people talked, gradually quieted down, and they didn't have the heart to play chess.

Such a soft and weak girl, like a sick seedling, made the whole community a little afraid.

“…… It's really uncomfortable for her to look at people. Uncle Han 'touched' his shoulder and shook his arm.

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

The glance that Chen Xi looked at them before made them involuntarily silence, and now they are all whispering.

Chen Xi didn't know what was going on behind him.

She continued her walk in the direction of her home and met the occupants of the same building downstairs.

Coincidentally, it is Uncle Han's wife.

Aunt Han turned her back to Chen Xi, and when she opened the door, she didn't notice that there was someone behind her, she entered the door, went upstairs, and when she reached the corner of the stairs, she couldn't help but see Chen Xi who was following behind.

The screams that surged to her throat were forcibly stifled by Aunt Han.

"Ah, you...... You're back...... You go first, you go first. Aunt Han stepped out of the way, smiled awkwardly, and avoided Chen Xi.

Chen Xi thanked him and slowly walked past Aunt Han.

Aunt Han didn't go upstairs immediately, she looked up at Chen Xi's swaying body, and sweated in her heart.

Sunlight shines in through the windows. The windows weren't clean, and the sun was dusty.

Chen Xi's body was shrouded in sunlight, moving little by little, and disappeared from Aunt Han's sight.

Aunt Han sighed, and when she went upstairs, she still had a strange feeling like a dream.

She reached the floor where her house was, and looked up.

Chen Xi lives upstairs in her house, upstairs.

The soundproofing of the old house is not very good, and you will always hear some movement from the neighbors, and sometimes you will smell the smell of food.

But she had lived here for so long, and she hadn't heard a sound since Chen Xi moved in.

There was no sound of walking, no sound of moving furniture, no sound of talking, no sound of television, not even the sound of water coming from the connected sewer pipes.

Aunt Han remembered the scene when Chen Xilai knocked on the door, shuddered, hurriedly opened the door and entered the house, and stayed away from the door.

She lifted her eyelids and looked at the ceiling, and for some reason, she felt cold above her head.

Originally, I just couldn't hear the movement of the residents upstairs, and occasionally met Chen Xi to knock on the door, but recently, everyone in the community knows Chen Xi. The more Aunt Han looked at it, the more she felt that Chen Xi's behavior was strange, and even the house separated by a ceiling and floor revealed a kind of weirdness.

At dinner in the evening, the news happened to be put on the news that the masses reported drug use.

Aunt Han looked at Uncle Han, pointed to the TV screen, and then pointed upstairs, "Did you say it...... Isn't that girl...... Yes? ”

Uncle Han watched it with reading eyes for a long time, and wanted to turn up the TV louder, so he held the remote control in his hand and put it back.

That news is in the past.

Aunt Han seemed to be afraid of being listened to, so she got close to Uncle Han and whispered, "That girl upstairs, is she taking drugs?" ”

Uncle Han was startled, but after looking at his wife for a long time, his expression gradually changed.

"Then you say...... Do we call the police? ”

"If you really take drugs, you should tell the Public Security Bureau."

The two talked like this for a long time, but they didn't make up their minds.

Knock Knock ...... Knock Knock ......

The sudden knock on the door startled the two.

They stared at the door for a long time, and then heard the door open next door, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

But in the next second, they heard Chen Xi's voice.

Obviously it was an old couple behind their ears, and at such a close distance, the TV sound was a little inaudible, but both of them could hear Chen Xi's voice clearly.

“…… Lighter, please lighten up......"

The two sentences that were like gossamers made Uncle Han and his wife goosebumps and cold sweat all over their bodies.

They didn't hear the next door neighbor's answer, but they faintly heard footsteps passing by the doorway, going upstairs, walking and walking, stopping above their heads.

The sound disappeared, as if it had never been there.

They just felt Chen Xi's strong presence, and had some kind of auditory hallucination. When the auditory hallucinations disappeared, they did not feel at ease, but became more nervous.

If you can't find someone, can't see each other, can't hear each other's voices, can't confirm what the other person is doing, it's easier to have some associations.

"Still, you should go to the police." Uncle Han broke the silence.

His wife nodded like garlic.

The two of them squeezed onto the couch and picked up the earpiece of the landline. Uncle Han's fingers were trembling when he dialed the phone, and he finally pressed the three numbers.

"Hello? 110? I...... I want to find the police...... Someone is addicted to drugs...... Ask the police to come and take a look. When Uncle Han said this, he raised his eyelids and stared at the ceiling upstairs.

His wife did the same.

Both felt at this moment that they were wrong.

Chen Xi doesn't look like a drug addict. It was as if something even more terrible had happened to her......

The two shuddered, hung up the phone, and fidgeted for the police to arrive. My ears have been pricked up, hoping to hear any movement from upstairs, but I am afraid that I will really hear any sound, contradictions, and entanglements.

After a long time, they seemed to hear Chen Xi's footsteps again.

Chen Xi stood at the door for a while, then went downstairs.

Uncle Han and Aunt Han sneaked to the balcony and looked downstairs.

The red and blue flashing lights of the police car are still obvious.

After the car drove away, the two let out a long sigh of relief.
