Chapter 599: Amulet (2)
Zhuang Xuexia's brain went blank, and she didn't know how to react.
Her body moved on its own, rolling on its side, dodging from the man's knife.
The bus stopped at some point. The front and rear doors opened, and the passengers disappeared.
Zhuang Xuexia didn't care about thinking about this, she just wanted to run away quickly.
The man blocked the back door, and she ran to the front door, and jumped out of the car with three steps and two steps.
The moment she landed, Zhuang Xuexia's mood relaxed.
She felt like she had managed to escape.
But as soon as she turned her head, she saw the oncoming bus.
The bus zoomed in on her vision. Before she could react, she heard the screeching sound of brakes.
The bus stopped almost against her face.
Zhuang Xuexia seemed to hear her own violent heartbeat.
Syllable! Whoa!
Because of inertia, one person in the car directly hit the front window of the bus, smashed the glass, and flew over Zhuang Xuexia's head.
Boom!
The man fell to the ground with glass shards all over his body.
Zhuang Xuexia's heart is still beating like a drum.
She turned slowly and looked at the man who had landed.
The man was covered in scars and blood.
His body twitched twice, his twisted limbs flicked, and he slowly raised his head, and stood up tremblingly like a newborn fawn.
Zhuang Xuexia saw the other party's face.
"Daddy!" A shout blurted out.
Zhuang Xuexia finally woke up, opened her eyes, saw the dark indoor ceiling, and heard the mobile phone ringing.
The familiar ringing reminds her that it's time to get up.
Zhuang Xuexia reached out and covered her chest.
The heartbeat was flat, and there was no violent vibration that I felt in my dreams.
However, her hands and body were sticky and cold, and she was sweating all over.
"What's wrong? Xiaxia? ”
The door was forcefully opened.
Zhuang Xuexia realized it later, as if she had just heard the hurried footsteps before opening the door. She looked up, but before she could see who was coming, she was first stabbed in the eye by the turned on fluorescent lamp.
"Ahh Zhuang Xuexia covered her eyes, "Why did you suddenly turn on the lights!" ”
"I heard you just call me, so loudly. Are you okay? Feeling unwell? Or, another nightmare? Zhuang Baoli turned off the lights again and opened the door to let the sunlight in the living room.
He asked anxiously, and at the end of the question, his voice trembled.
Still, he didn't stop.
Zhuang Baoli had already walked into the room and opened the curtains.
Zhuang Xuexia let out another scream, like a vampire who saw the light die in an old movie, curled up and avoided the sun.
"Okay, okay, your alarm has been ringing for a long time, get up quickly." Zhuang Baoli saw that she was so energetic, so he also put his mind at ease.
Luo Lanjun leaned against the door and asked, "Xiaxia, are you having nightmares again?" ”
Zhuang Xuexia muttered, removed the hand covering her eyes, but did not open her eyes, but touched the mobile phone at the bedside by habit and turned off the alarm.
"Did you have another nightmare? Your father's amulet, you still wear it. At least wear it at home at night. In school, if you put it in your school bag, the teacher won't come and look through your school bag. Luo Lanjun proposed, "Your father didn't have nightmares after wearing that amulet. I think it works. He placed an order for both and bought two more. ”
Zhuang Baoli urged: "Hurry up." You won't let you wear a talisman, and you can't afford to wake up. ”
Zhuang Xuexia retorted dissatisfiedly: "No need." I asked for the amulet myself. ”
"What amulet do you ask for?" Zhuang Baoli asked suspiciously.
"I got it myself anyway. Not yours. Zhuang Xuexia said stubbornly with the head of the chicken nest.
She returned Zhuang Baoli's talisman, how could she get it back?
Moreover, that amulet is so ugly, how can you bring it to school? I was already laughed at last time. She didn't want to be ridiculed anymore.
That Weibo "weird talk" said that he would send himself a talisman, so it should be a better look.
She searched on Weibo before, and watched those supernatural, divination, and fortune-telling young ladies get things, and they were all very good-looking. Some are personal bloggers, who study these things in their own spare time, and their main business is to draw and write articles, or they are beauty and entertainment bloggers, and they will give amulets as gifts to fans.
Those amulets, badges, hemp, danzi, all kinds of styles, are made.
Although "Strange Stories" has not posted pictures of these things, it should be similar to me.
You can't put on the name of "weird talk" and post the supernatural contributions of those young people, but it turns out that it is a rustic bag that only middle-aged greasy men like her father can buy, right?
"How much did you spend?" Zhuang Baoli looked at Zhuang Xuexia with a tone of "how much money have you been cheated of", questioningly.
Zhuang Xuexia said angrily: "It didn't cost money, someone sent it." ”
"Is it going to be paid? Want you to pay for postage? Or did you get some QR code? What information did you fill in? Zhuang Baoli was even more nervous.
Luo Lanjun also helped ask, "Xiaxia, don't hide it from us." Show us your phone. ”
Zhuang Xuexia said angrily: "I didn't spend money when I said it, and I didn't fill in the information." He is not a liar. He saved you that day! ”
"What saved me?" Zhuang Baoli was confused.
Li Yun appeared as an enthusiastic passerby, introducing his profession and the reason for his appearance.
Zhuang Xuexia said: "It was the day you sent me to the station, and then got into the taxi yourself." I had made an appointment with him that day, but who knew that you suddenly said that you would send me to school...... You get into a taxi and he chases after you. He also messaged me that you were safe. ”
Zhuang Baoli straightened his face, "I had a nightmare that day, no one saved me, and I woke up by myself." ”
Li Yun really didn't save him. It's just that when he was at a loss, he stretched out his hand to him and listened to him, which relieved his anxious and irritable mood in those days.
Zhuang Baoli said: "You don't want to be deceived. You believe what others say. ”
"What can I be fooled of? I don't have much money. He didn't ask me for any money. Zhuang Xuexia did not take Zhuang Baoli's denial to heart.
She pouted secretly, thinking that Zhuang Baoli must be dead to save face, and refused to admit it. It's like he dragged them to the temple to worship the Buddha some time ago.
"You gave him your home address?" Luo Lanjun interjected and asked.
"Hmm." Zhuang Xuexia nodded, "What's the address?" When you buy something online, the address has long been leaked. ”
"But the online store doesn't know about our family. Did you tell someone about our family? Have you ever sent any photos to people? Luo Lanjun asked nervously.
"All I said was that we've been having nightmares lately." Zhuang Xuexia looked up at Luo Lanjun and said angrily, "I'm not stupid." How could I possibly take a picture of him? ”
Zhuang Baoli and Luo Lanjun were still not at ease, and wanted Zhuang Xuexia to hand over her mobile phone to see what she had talked about with people.
How could Zhuang Xuexia agree?
"What are you doing?" She jumped up, and when she saw that Zhuang Baoli and Luo Lanjun were so persistent, she knew that it was useless for her to lose her temper, so she could only shout in a hurry, "I'm going to be late!" ”
She pushed the two of them away and rushed to the bathroom, not forgetting to bring her phone inside.
Zhuang Bao was in a hurry and was stopped by Luo Lanjun.
"Forget it. Her mobile phone is bound to my CCB card, I have set a limit for her, and the card itself does not have much money. ”
"There are a lot of tricks for fraud now, even if you don't have money, you can be deceived into taking out an online loan."
"She doesn't have an ID card, how can she get an online loan?"
Zhuang Xuexia is not yet 16 years old, so she has not applied for an ID card.
Luo Lanjun pointed out this crucial point, and Zhuang Baoli's anxious mood eased.
He said: "I'm afraid that she will learn badly when she knows some indiscriminate people on the Internet." Maybe it was instigated by someone she met online, and she only recently started doing so. ”
Zhuang Baoli was worried, and always felt that there were ill-intentioned people lurking in the dark, who were peeking at Zhuang Xuexia.
"She's a girl, so she has to be more careful." Zhuang Baoli said again.
"Aren't you worried about me? But you also have to be particular about how you communicate with her. It's finally getting better during this time, don't be the same as before, it's too stiff. Luo Lanjun said.
"It's not that I'm messing with her, it's that she's making trouble unreasonably."
"Then you are an adult, you are a father, you have to be tolerant."
"How can issues of principle be accommodated?"
"What is this matter of principle? Isn't it nothing now? I'll ask her later. Later, I'll ask Huihui's mother about it. ”
What Zhuang Xuexia didn't tell them, she would definitely tell Xia Menghui.
"Huihui will tell her mother?" Zhuang Baoli couldn't help but envy Xia Menghui's well-behaved.
Luo Lanjun peeked at the toilet and whispered, "No." But her WeChat account is logged on her tablet at home, and her mother can see it. ”
Zhuang Baoli's eyes widened, but he didn't despise Xia Menghui's mother because of this, but he was a little envious.
He and Luo Lanjun tidied up Xia Menghui's room every year, and sorted out some of her used homework books, textbooks from last semester, extracurricular books that she no longer reads, and corrected exam papers. In the process, she will flip through what she has written.
It's okay to say when I was in elementary school. At the end of her semester, she lost her schoolbag, and her summer homework was squeezed into the middle of school before school started. At the end of the semester, the gaps in the desks and bookcases were filled, and in the new semester, I hurriedly found empty places to pile up. At this time, Zhuang Baoli and Luo Lanjun's help, she couldn't ask for it.
After entering junior high school, it was no longer like this.
Zhuang Xuexia longed that there was an enchantment in her bedroom, no one could come in except herself, and things were not allowed to be touched. Help her mop the floor and change the sheets and covers, she will be suspicious, and she will not know what secrets are hidden in the room.
In fact, Zhuang Xuexia neither kept a diary nor hid a small treasury, and even failed exam papers could be taken out openly and asked by Luo Lanjun to sign - but she didn't dare to let Zhuang Baoli sign it, for fear of being reprimanded and nagged.
As for her mobile phone and tablet, they are all locked, and the password is even more hidden.
Zhuang Xuexia's inexplicable strict defense also made Zhuang Baoli suspicious, but he couldn't find a reason, and he could only blame the child for being old and rebellious in adolescence.
"It's so convenient." Zhuang Baoli said with emotion.
"Don't say it." Luo Lanjun reminded with a smile.
Zhuang Baoli nodded.
After the two finished saying this, they glanced at the time and urged Zhuang Xuexia who was hiding in the toilet.
Zhuang Xuexia took a lot of time, pretended not to have time to have breakfast at home, took a few pieces of bread and ran out of the house, and while closing the door, she also shut down the cries of Zhuang Baoli and Luo Lanjun.
She didn't wait for the elevator, and rushed directly into the stairwell, as if there was a demon chasing her behind her, and went downstairs like a whirlwind. When she got out of the residential building, she slowed down and turned her head to look at the floor where she was.
She suddenly had a snort.
The wind blew, wiping the fine sweat from her forehead and neck, and carefully glancing at her window.
There is the kitchen at home. On the windowsill hangs a mesh bag with ginger and garlic.
There was no figure in the window.
Zhuang Baoli and Luo Lanjun should be having breakfast.
Her gaze shifted inch by inch to the window that belonged to the hallway.
She could see through the window a corner of the elevator door, and naturally she could see the shadow on the metal panel.
What is that?
Zhuang Xuexia's eyes widened and she took a step back.
"Ouch, Xiaxia, what are you looking at blocking the door?" The cordial shout behind her made Zhuang Xuexia feel excited again.
She looked back and saw that it was the neighbor's eldest lady, and hurriedly got out of the way.
"You're going to school, aren't you? Too late for breakfast? The old lady said with concern.
Zhuang Xuexia nodded indiscriminately and hurriedly walked outside the community.
Behind him was the sound of the hallway door opening and closing.
After walking a few steps like this, Zhuang Xuexia glanced back again.
In this location, she saw more elevator doors.
I don't know if it's a problem with the angle, but the shadow she saw earlier is gone.
Zhuang Xuexia's gaze fell all the way.
Through the glass door of the corridor, she saw the lady who was standing in front of the elevator and waiting.
The elevator doors opened.
Zhuang Xuexia was like a frightened rabbit, deliberately turning her gaze and continuing to run outside the community.
She ran out of breath, but she was also a blessing in disguise, catching the bus that had just stopped.
It wasn't until she got on the bus that she had time to rest.
The bread in her hand had been pinched flat by her. She was a little disgusted, but she still stuffed it into her mouth in two bites and devoured the bread.
When she looked up, she saw a taxi next to the bus.
Zhuang Xuexia was startled, looked at it fixedly, and found that it was an empty car with no passengers.
Zhuang Xuexia stared at the driver for a long time, until the taxi drove to the front of the bus and could no longer see, and then withdrew her gaze.
When the bus arrived at the station, Zhuang Xuexia jumped off the bus and walked two steps quickly.
"Xiaxia!" Xia Menghui waved at her at the intersection and complained, "Did you oversleep?" ”
Zhuang Xuexia gasped, "No." I had another nightmare last night. ”
Xia Menghui was surprised and worried, "Then are you okay?" ”
Asking this, she still grabbed Zhuang Xuexia and quickened her pace towards the school.
"Well, it's fine!" Zhuang Xuexia cocked her chin, "I escaped in my dream!" Like Xiao Ming said, try to think, and then your body moves, and you dodge! ”
When Xia Menghui heard this, her pace slowed down, "Really?!" ”
"But I dodged it for a while, and I was scared to wake up." Zhuang Xuexia thought for a while and corrected, "No, it's two." ”
The man waved his knife, and the bus stopped right in front of her for the second time.
"I woke up in a dream that something happened to my father." Zhuang Xuexia added.
"Oh, so you're getting better now? You shouldn't be scared anymore, right? Xia Menghui asked.
Zhuang Xuexia did not answer.
"And you said that 'weird gossip' was going to send you an amulet. Can you get there today? Not sure what it looks like. I saw a particularly beautiful liuma at station B yesterday, which was made by the God of Wealth, which was super funny. But it's also beautiful. I saw that the up master also started a group, and said that he wanted to be the flowing hemp of other immortals. There are comments below that please the gods can't be so pleased, it's useless to do so. I don't know if it's true or not. Xia Menghui talked endlessly, and when she arrived at the school gate, she temporarily shut up, and when she walked past the two rows of students and teachers on duty, she opened her mouth again.
She didn't hear an answer for a long time, and asked strangely, "Xiaxia, are you listening?" ”
Zhuang Xuexia let out an "ah", her eyes flickered, and she suddenly said: "By the way, I heard my mother tell me about your mother's peeking at your WeChat in the morning." ”
Xia Menghui's expression immediately became bored, she lost the momentum just now, and said proudly in an instant: "That means that she hasn't found out that I have registered a new WeChat." ”
"Hmm. It doesn't look like it's exposed. Zhuang Xuexia agreed.
Her voice fell, and the two of them had already arrived in the classroom.
Zhuang Xuexia paused.
She looked back.
In the hallway were the students rushing into the classroom, all of them looked familiar, some of them could be called by name and knew the class, and some of them were just familiar.
It's the same as every morning on a weekday, and there is nothing out of the ordinary.
It's because she's thinking too much.
Zhuang Xuexia thought so and entered the classroom.
