At night, the neighborhood is as lively as during the day, but the crowd on the street is changed from middle-aged and elderly to young. Breakfast shops and vegetable shops are either closed or have changed their business content, on the other hand, Malatang, barbecue and other shops that close in the morning are now open, and all kinds of fragrances flow in the air, making the cold air at night in winter a little warmer.

Li Yun and Yi Xin wandered around until the evening, then entered the husband-and-wife kebab shop, pulled a table and chair and sat at the door of the store.

In the summer, there are many men and women who eat barbecue like this, but now that the dine-in customers are huddled in the cramped storefront, blowing the hot air of the air conditioner, they will not run outside.

Li Yun didn't feel cold.

It was only then that he realized that after becoming a ghost, while his senses were enhanced, some of his "senses" actually became dull. Just like a ghost who dies in the summer, he still runs around in short-sleeved shorts in the winter, and it doesn't hinder his movement. Ghosts are actually non-sensible. Li Yun "knows" the cold, but he "feels" the cold.

In this way, the so-called "sickness" may not work.

Li Yun frowned slightly.

He accepted Yi Xin's bet, mainly hoping that he would have more skills. He hoped that he would have more ways to deal with the demons than the flames he had borrowed from his boss. But if that doesn't work, then he'll have to find another way.

Li Yun looked at Yi Xin and found that Yi Xin was also sitting at the small table, bored with his mobile phone.

Her boyfriend's phone call served as a reassuring factor. But just as the effect of the drug has a time limit, the time limit of that phone call is about the same.

Li Yun could feel the loneliness in Yi Xin's heart again.

"Beer." The proprietress brought a boiled beer and a bottle of mineral water and put it on the table.

The beer was naturally placed in front of Li Yun, and the mineral water was placed on Yi Xin's side.

The one who ordered the beer was Yi Xin.

Li Yun has an allergic constitution, he couldn't touch alcohol before his death, and he would get a rash when he drank it. Although it was not severe enough to go into shock, he refused to drink.

Yi Xin, the bat demon, didn't seem to have any taboos, picked up the wine bottle, and took a few big mouthfuls. In the winter, she still drank cold beer, but she didn't even fight a cold war, let alone goosebumps.

Li Yun silently took the mineral water and opened the bottle cap, took a sip, and his eyes fell on the floor tiles behind Yi Xin.

It was getting dark. The street lights are dim and illuminate the motorway? This dimens the road on this side of the sidewalk. Covered in aged stains? The blackened floor tiles look pure black at the moment. Ordinary people can't tell its original color.

Li Yun has good eyesight? Is it just to keep the scenery in your field of view to the level of sufficient light during the day? Then there's the function of a little magnifying glass.

In a way? His eyes are just like the high-definition cameras of today's mobile phones.

"Your skewers." The proprietress came over again and put a stainless steel tray on the table? He also glanced at the drink in front of the two of them.

You're welcome? Pick up the lamb skewers that are piled up like a hill and start eating.

Li Yun also took a bunch, eating absentmindedly, still paying attention to the ground.

A pedestrian passed by and glanced towards the kebab shop? Just left. The man walked steadily? There was no slipping.

Another hurried man passed by on the other side, and nothing happened.

Gradually, Li Yun also turned his gaze.

Yi Xin wiped out a bottle of beer and more than thirty skewers of mutton in one go, and stood up, as if ready to order something more.

Li Yun's eyelids jumped? "Are you alright?"

Binge eating and drinking don't seem to be a good sign. Especially under the loneliness and irritability that overflowed more and more in Yi Xin? Li Yun had a bad premonition.

Yi Xin glanced at Li Yun and didn't make a sound? I grabbed a large handful of lamb skewers and handed them to the proprietress by myself.

The proprietress casually handed over the lamb skewers to her husband? Asked with concern, "Little girl?" Got a fight with your boyfriend? How nosy am I? It's okay for you to lose your temper and ask your boyfriend to go to the mall to buy you cosmetics. It's not good to eat like this, and it will hurt your stomach. ”

Yi Xin tugged at the corners of his mouth, "My boyfriend is out of town." I'm too busy with work to spend time with me at the mall. ”

The proprietress was stunned and glanced at Li Yun.

"It's my colleague." Yi Xin didn't even look at Li Yun, grabbed another handful of beef skewers and handed them to the proprietress .

The proprietress looked at Li Yun this time and her eyes were full of sympathy, just like the fishing uncle during the day.

Li Yun couldn't explain it, so he reluctantly opened his eyes and pretended not to see it.

He is not afraid that Yi Xin will eat a bad stomach, but he is afraid that Yi Xin will explode emotionally and do something.

Fortunately, Yi Xin just binge-ate on skewers and drank three bottles of beer in a row, but there was no other reaction.

It's getting darker.

If it weren't for Li Yun's eyesight, the stone bricks on the ground would look black.

In the kebab shop, there is a table of customers who have just finished eating and squeezing out. Two men and two women, hooked shoulders and backs, one of them had a red face and walked slightly shaky. The four of them huddled together with each other, and they were not afraid of falling.

The four of them bypassed the table of Li Yun and Yi Xin, talked and laughed loudly, and walked forward.

Li Yun could feel the difference in emotions in their hearts and the smiles on their faces.

In the dead of night, after drinking again, several people's emotions overflowed, although they were not as easy as Yixin, but they were also placed to the point that Li Yun could find out if he didn't deliberately feel it.

In just a few steps, the four of them walked past the closed Song Kee Fast Food, and were about to pass by the fish shop that also had a rolling shutter door.

Li Yun's heart jumped.

He saw a black color emerge from the floor tiles, as if the shadows of four people had fallen on the floor tiles, making the floor tiles look black, but with Li Yun's eyesight, he could see that this was not the case. The blackness came out of the ground. Black, ink-like stuff covered the surface of the floor tiles.

A woman's high heels landed on the floor tiles.

Li Yun stood up suddenly.

Then the black man opened his mouth, bit the heel of his shoe, and shook it, dragging the woman's foot.

It all happened in a second.

"Ouch." The woman's feet slipped, her center of gravity unsteadily, and her body leaned against the arm of the man next to her.

On the ground, the other mouth opened, and the black jumped up from the floor tiles, pulling out the jet-black jelly-like body, and the mouth bit directly into the man's calf.

The man was dazed, but he screamed in pain, as if he had been hurt by the woman, and his body shook with it.

The four people who hooked their shoulders took one with one and fell to the ground like that.

The owner of the kebab shop was startled by Li Yun's movements, and when he turned his head and heard the shouts over there, he chuckled in his heart.

He was nervous and scared, hurriedly ran out, saw the four people who were wrestling, wanted to step forward, remembered the scene that happened to Boss Song, and stopped suddenly.

Li Yun felt something wrong, and suddenly lowered his head and looked at the boss's feet.

Under the shadow of the boss, there is also black emerging, like a crocodile that pounces out of the water, opening its mouth to bite the boss's ankle.

Li Yun hurriedly summoned the boss's flames.

The boss only felt that his feet were hot, and subconsciously jumped on the spot, looked down, and found that there was nothing wrong.

He couldn't hear the screams of the black creatures, and he didn't know that the flames stretched from beneath his feet and burned under the four men.

All four of them only felt a sudden heat on the ground beneath them.

The alcohol in their bodies seemed to have been evaporated by the high temperature, and they came to their senses.

The four of them stood up on the ground in a hurry, as dazed as the boss.

Yi Xin turned his head and retracted his gaze. Under the table, she stomped her feet slightly. With her eyes down, she looked at the little thing she stepped on, and crushed her toes absently.

The evil creature let out a sharp scream like its companion and turned into powder, leaving only the smell of fish spreading in the air, and being swallowed up by the smell of blood on Yi Xin's body.

"Bet you won." Yi Xin said casually and took a sip of beer.

The proprietress also ran out at this time. She hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Fell again? It doesn't matter, right? What are you doing here? She glared at her husband.

"Nothing." The middle-aged man touched the back of his head and didn't know how to explain it.

The four men patted the dust on their bodies and looked at each other, but they didn't notice anything unusual.

It seems to have just fallen, nothing else.

The heat and stinging seemed to be just an illusion.

"Drink too much."

"I told you not to drink so much."

"You added two bottles of your own."

The four of them talked, greeted the boss and his wife, shook their heads and continued to walk forward.

They didn't hook their shoulders anymore and talk and laugh loudly, but Li Yun felt that their mood seemed to be better than just now, probably because of this change, which interrupted their original emotions.

Li Yun sat down and looked at Yi Xin.

Yi Xin's mood didn't change much.

"Let's talk about it first, when you made a bet before, your request was just for me to accompany you on a trip, nothing else." Yi Xin nodded Li Yun with a bamboo skewer.

Li Yun didn't care about the gambling contract, "What were those things just now?" ”

Yi Xin threw down the bamboo skewers, "A little evil." She took another string of meat, and while eating, she used the bamboo skewer as a whip and pointed out the country, "There are several shops here, the business hours are late, and there are a lot of people, so I guess this kind of evil thing has attracted it." ”

"What is an evil thing? I don't feel anything like that...... There are emotions. Li Yun asked suspiciously, "It seems that there is no soul." ”

"Evil creatures only have instincts. It's something you humans made. You humans......" Yi Xin dragged out his voice and sneered, "There are too many desires, too many evil thoughts, and too many people. As time goes by, there are many more such evil things in the world. ”

Immediately, she threw away the bamboo skewers she had eaten, "Speaking of which, it is impossible to determine whether we monsters are born and raised, or whether they are evolved from evil creatures made by you humans." ”

Li Yun looked at Yi Xin in surprise.

"At least vampires, not bats cultivated into demons, nor are they born and raised." Yi Xin raised his head and drank a bottle of beer, slamming it on the table.

Yu Xingxing's face appeared in Li Yun's mind.

His heart sank, and he looked at the ground, which was no longer abnormal.

As soon as his thoughts turned, Li Yun looked at Yi Xin in a daze, "Are you ...... Uh, how was it born? ”

Yi Xin's eating slowed down. She looked at the meat skewer in her hand in confusion, her fingers twisted, and she turned the bamboo skewer, "I...... I don't know...... Already forgotten. ”

The loneliness in her body receded, and the dazed turned into panic, and the fear grew stronger and stronger.

Li Yun knew that she, like herself, thought of what happened in the central hospital.

Xu Haijun was an ordinary paralyzed patient, and his consciousness disappeared, but he ......

Li Yun and Yi Xin glanced at each other, and then looked away at the same time.

Yi Xin chewed the mutton, slowly ate the plate of skewers, and drank all the beer.

She stood up, "Let's go." ”

Li Yun also got up and asked the boss to settle the bill.

The boss and his wife saw that they had a strange atmosphere, and they didn't dare to make a sound, so they silently watched the two leave.

Li Yun suddenly asked, "Will that kind of evil thing appear in that place again?" ”

"Probably." Yi Xin scratched his hair that was ruffled by the night breeze and looked at the shops with lights still on both sides of the road.

Li Yun can not only see the busyness in those small shops, but also feel the atmosphere coming from those shops.

Happy, sad, lonely, contented......

The good and the bad are all flowing slowly in the winter night.

These emotions will settle down, or settle in the hearts of these people, or settle on this street, or drift away with the cold winter wind.

"Maybe, one day there will be a zombie virus outbreak." Yi Xin spoke abruptly, giggling.

Li Yun was silent, and sighed sadly for a long time.

Hourglass Tyrant: [Submit a post.] 】

[This is something I've heard about recently.] It's been a while since it happened, but I've only recently learned how horrible what I saw that day. 】

[Here's the thing. In July, I attended the funeral of one of my uncles. His wife died unexpectedly, quite suddenly, and after informing our relatives, we went to his house the next day to pay respects, and then went to the funeral home with the car to hold a memorial service, say goodbye to the body, and then went back to his house for a meal, and then went to his house to sit for a while before leaving.

[My uncle is a family of three, and in addition to the husband and wife, there is also a daughter. My daughter is now in elementary school.

[Because of my parents' divorce, I have been living with my father in other places, and this year I found a job in my mother's city, and I resumed contact with my mother, but I have never met these relatives. This time I went to the memorial service, and I mainly drove my mother. My mother said that when I was a child, I used to play with my uncle's buttocks, and when I was 100 days old, my uncle gave me a long-life lock, and I don't remember much. My uncle, who was very sad that day, was surprised to see me, said a few words, and was busy dealing with the other guests. I've never seen his daughter before. When she was born, my parents were divorced. My aunt's situation was similar. As soon as they got married, my parents divorced. My mother said I had been a flower girl for them, and I wasn't impressed. They don't remember what they looked like, and they didn't remember anything when they saw their uncle that day.

[I'm not familiar with my mother's relatives. While they were talking, I was in a daze. I heard that my aunt who had just passed away was very nice, gentle, temperamentless, housework, taking care of the elderly and children, and she was quite enthusiastic. It's probably all sorts of things. No one would speak ill of the dead at such a time. Moreover, I found that everyone is not very clear about the specific cause of death of my aunt, some say that she is sick, she has been sick for a long time, many hospitals have run over, and she is not optimistic, and some say that she fell and hit her head and did not take it seriously, and suddenly died of cerebral hemorrhage, and some said that she was suffering from acute enteritis, gastric perforation, or something...... Various theories. These people who were sitting and chatting were all distant relatives, not close relatives, probably my uncle didn't tell these people, so they notified me to come to the memorial service. This is also the case for me, I only know that my aunt passed away last night, and I don't know the details. I wasn't interested in any of this, because when I heard these people talk about the body, I took a special look at my aunt's body. It looks very ordinary, at least there is nothing special on the exposed face.

[My little cousin had locked herself in the room, and I don't know who pulled her out and surrounded her in the middle. She had red eyes, shed tears from time to time, was comforted by some relatives, did not speak, was comforted and asked, and did not speak. My parents have been divorced since I was a child, and I have been without a mother since I was a child, so I sympathized with this child and took the initiative to say a few words to her, but she didn't answer. 】

[Looking back now, that child seems to be very scared, and he has always been in a state of panic, and he doesn't dare to raise his head and doesn't look at people very much. At that time, I thought she was sad and sad, and it was possible that there were so many people in the house all of a sudden, and there were a few people like me who didn't know me at all, and the children were afraid of life, so they didn't fit in. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. After a few words of comfort, she didn't respond, so I left it at that. It's useless to comfort this kind of thing, you have to think about it yourself and adapt to it, so that it can be good. 】

[In short, the whole process of the memorial service is quite ordinary. I don't know what other memorial services are like, and I've only attended one memorial service for my grandfather before. Grandpa was a happy funeral that time, and the atmosphere was a little better. That's probably the difference. 】

[Before leaving, my mother and I were the last to leave, and we also helped clean up my uncle's house. By the way, my mother is now left with two siblings. After my parents divorced, my grandmother and grandfather died, and my mother never informed us about our father and son. The relatives who came today are mainly relatives from my aunt's side and colleagues and friends of my aunt and uncle. So my mother stayed until the end, helping to greet the guests in the middle, and finally staying to clean up the mess and help arrange for my little cousin to wash up and sleep. Then the two of us left. 】

[On the way, my mother and I sighed for a long time, mainly to remember my aunt. I didn't know this aunt at all, but I listened to her keep talking, and I probably had an impression in my mind that I had a little connection with the person in the posthumous photo. My aunt's posthumous photos were taken very well, and she looked like the kind of delicate and weak, gentle and gentle person. 】

[After a week, my mother was not worried about my uncle's situation, so she asked me to drive her to a big supermarket to buy a lot of daily necessities and vegetables, meat, fruits and other things, and send them to my uncle's house. This time, I feel that the mood of the father and daughter is a little better. I listened to my mother talk to my uncle and knew that my mother also came a lot this week, called every day, and helped pick up my little cousin once.

[The little cousin is still very scared of life, and still doesn't talk much, but it looks a little better than that day.] Her family has a PS, so my uncle let the two of us play the breakup kitchen, and the two of them talked in the small dining room. After playing like this for a while, although she didn't speak, she was very active in playing games, and she was quite happy with me. 】

[In the evening, my mother cooked, and we ate together at my uncle's house, during which we talked and laughed, and we didn't mention my aunt's affairs, and my little cousin was also in a good mood, although she still didn't speak, but she seemed to be completely relaxed.

[After eating, my mother and I were ready to leave.

[Uncle and little cousin came to the door to see us off.] Standing in the entrance, father and daughter side by side, my uncle took my little cousin's shoulders and watched us change our shoes and go out. My mother and I turned around and waved goodbye to the two of them. They also said goodbye.

[At that moment, I saw an extra figure beside my little cousin. In fact, there were only half of them, and they didn't see their faces at all, but they saw a tall and thin figure, and saw an arm on the little cousin's head, stroking her hair. She looks very gentle, she is a very gentle woman, her height is almost the same as that of her uncle, that is, about 1.7 meters, she is very thin, she has medium-long hair, her hair is up to her shoulders, and she is slightly dyed, and her shoulders are also very thin. I saw it very clearly. I looked back and saw it for a moment, but when I saw it, it was imprinted in my mind. Because it was a subconscious action, after turning back to say goodbye, I turned back again, and it was then that I realized what I had just seen. By the time I looked back, my uncle was ready to close the door, and my little cousin had entered the house. The woman's figure was gone. 】

[I almost thought I had just looked away.] But because I turned around, my uncle saw it, didn't hurry to close the door, paused, waved to me again, and said goodbye. Through the crack in the door, I saw my little cousin walk into her bedroom, the bedroom door was ajar, and there was a figure leaning behind the door, holding the door panel with one hand, as if opening the door for the little cousin. 】

[I didn't say anything, just said goodbye to my uncle. My mother had already pressed the elevator at that time, and the elevators had arrived. 】

[After I got into the elevator, I still had a feeling of surprise. I felt like I was seeing my aunt. My aunt was really as gentle as the others had told her. If you count the time, it was the second seven days before the day, and the first seven days passed. According to my mother's custom, close relatives have to help make Qiqi, and there is also the first and third anniversary. When my grandmother and grandfather died, the two siblings followed this very strictly. At that time, there were some elders in the family who were more distant, and they paid more attention to this. It's not that strict now. My uncle did it himself, and when it was seven, my mother had to come again, and it didn't have to be me.

[At that time, I felt that my aunt was back and was still in that house, taking care of my uncle and little cousin. It may be necessary to wait for Qiqi before the souls will leave peacefully. 】
