When I woke up.

Still sleeping on the couch.

The clothes on the body are good.

There was no longer a shadow of Mo Beibei in the room.

I even wonder if yesterday was a dream? I got up and looked back and forth, and there were no plates or bowls on the table, so I shook my head vigorously and remembered everything that had happened yesterday.

Obviously, it was Mo Beibei who handed himself over.

But I deny it.

There is no entanglement between her and me, familiar, it's only for a while, but no matter how familiar she is, she won't give herself to me, and she is not a white snake who will repay her kindness after a thousand years.

Get up and walk to the window and look ahead.

I found out that the opposite side of the building was where I had lived for ten years.

I remember that before leaving, the old man said to me, if it is not necessary, do not come back, it will be my last haven from the wind.

Because the floor of Mo Beibei is on the sixteenth floor, the place where I used to live is a bungalow area. Although they are bungalows, they are all uniformly built courtyard houses, and in this era of impetuousness and rampant capital, the value of courtyard houses is much higher than that of ordinary residential buildings.

I watched closely.

The sycamore trees in the yard are even more lush, blocking out the sunlight of the entire yard.

Next to the plane tree is a stone table, when there is nothing to do, Maitreya Buddha and Zhu Youyang sit in front of the stone table and play chess, although the two of them are very poor in chess, but often because of a move to fight red-faced.

In the end, they also agreed on one thing: that is, to die on the ground.

The bold still water came to the conclusion that no matter how smelly the chess trick is, as long as you hold the chess pieces and don't move, you are a master who pretends to be X.

The old man often looked at the two of them while lying on his chair, sometimes smiling.

Only my antique teacher was fiddling with some knick-knacks, and he seemed to have nothing to do with the world.

When I wasn't in school, I would join the chess game.

Come to think of it, it was a happy time.

After a short time with the old man, I gradually forgot about my hatred.

A ten-year-old child is not at all remembered as the age of hatred.

If they hadn't left when I was in high school, I think I'd probably live like this forever.

Now Maitreya Buddha, Zhu Youyang is dead.

I remembered that a few days ago, someone called out two names, Liu Laohu and Xie Nansheng.

Liu Laohu should be the name of my antique teacher.

Xie Nansheng is that old man.

Still water seems to be a dispensable person.

I was curious.

At the same time, I also remembered a sentence.

If a place is going to hide its secrets and you don't want people to find out, then the easiest place to find is the place that the person is familiar with.

I think there must be a secret in the courtyard.

It's just that I've been living there all the time and ignoring a lot of details.

For example.

When I was at school, I also had friends.

But when they heard that I lived in a courtyard house, they didn't know why they all alienated me. I've also been to my classmates, but when I invited my classmates to my house, none of them came.

Even my best friend, Hu Yongji, never came.

And there is more than one courtyard house, but I rarely see anyone appear.

Even if it's a detached villa, you should see people.

Now that I think about it, it seems that there are very few people in the courtyard.

More than ten years.

It doesn't seem like anyone is alone either.

Especially Xie Nansheng, almost never went out.

Although Jingshui is five or six years older, she should also go to school at that age, but she has never gone to school and has always lived there.

This is not logical.

I stood upstairs and watched, in broad daylight, dozens of courtyards were lifeless, I couldn't even see cars, I watched for an hour, only to see a woman pouring water out of the courtyard.

In a courtyard like this, none of the people who live in it are poor.

At least you have to have a car.

But I didn't see one.

It's daytime, and maybe at night there will be more people.

But at night, even the lights are very little.

I didn't know anything about the place where I had lived for ten years.

I couldn't help it and went downstairs.

When I arrived at the door of the courtyard, there was a security guard in the guard room, but he was already asleep. I know the security guard, and I think he knows me. I walked to the window and knocked twice, the security guard woke up, he opened his eyes and looked at me, "Yo, elementary school, I haven't been home for a long time, did you go to school in another place?" ”

I nodded, "yes, didn't this just come back?" ”

The security guard let me in directly.

When I walked inside and turned the corner, I felt as if someone was staring at me behind me, and when I turned around, I only saw that the security guard was on the phone, because the window in the security room was closed and the air conditioning was on, I couldn't hear what he was saying, and seemed to be laughing.

Because we live in the innermost.

As soon as I entered, a couple of husbands and wives walked out of the face, and the lighting of the community was very good.

When the man saw me, he said, "Yo, you're back from elementary school...... and he greeted me very kindly.

I subconsciously said, "Just came back." ”

Until they left, I didn't remember if I had seen the couple or not.

The way they greet each other is as if they see me a lot.

Come to your doorstep.

The red door was closed.

I looked up, I didn't find a spider web or anything, there should be a cleaning bar often, the old man should have paid the property fee for many years, there is a lock on the door, this lock can't help me, take out the ear, open the lock.

I took a deep breath and put my hands on the door.

I even thought that maybe the moment I opened the door, I was surprised by what was inside.

Suddenly, there was a ringing in the hand.

It scared me.

I took out my phone and saw that it was a text message, with only two words on it: Don't enter!

Suddenly, my sweat pores stood up.

This means that someone has been staring at me.

Every step I take, the other person knows.

Looking at the mobile phone number, I tried to dial back, prompting to turn off, it should be even call forwarding, I can only return confidence, not call.

I thought to myself, and since I was here, I couldn't help but enter, and pushed the door open.

With the door "creak", nothing terrible happened.

The floor of the courtyard was paved with cement bricks, some weeds had come out of the cracks, there were many leaves on the stone table under the plane tree, and there was an unfinished game of chess on the table.

It seems, before I came home from high school.

Maitreya Buddha and Zhu Yuyang were still playing chess, and when I came back, they didn't finish playing, eating, and then I dreamed.

After knocking me unconscious, they also left the place, not even packing up their things.

Seems to be in a hurry.

The main door was unlocked, I pushed the door in, and the furnishings in the living room had not changed, it was still the same, but the table was very clean, and there was no dust on the sofa, and I was nervous again.

The absence of dust proves that someone has been cleaning here.

There are six rooms in the house.

The westernmost one was still water, and I had never been in it for ten years, and I had wondered what a woman's room looked like, but the curtains in her room never seemed to have been opened, and it was still the thick red old-fashioned curtains.

No one anymore.

I pushed the door, it was unlocked, and it opened all at once.

The walls of the room are plastered with celebrity posters, and a guitar hangs, which is also free of dust.

I went to Xie Nansheng's room again, and nothing changed.

Liu Laohu is the laziest, it's been more than a year, and the quilt is still not folded.

Coming to the front of my room, I pushed the door open, stunned.

Because as far back as I can remember, the room wasn't set up like it is now. Ever since I was a child, I've always loved blue, especially the one that makes people feel melancholy, so there is a wall with blue skies and white clouds.

But now there are none.

There were a lot of pictures hanging on that wall.

My dad is in almost every photo, and my mom is in some of them.

One of the pictures that fascinated me was an orchard, and my dad was holding my mom's hand in front of the orchard hut, and my mom was holding a child in her arms, because the child was still young, only a few years old, and she was wearing open crotch pants.

So the kid was a boy.

It should be me.

There were happy smiles on the faces of the two of them.

How can a loving husband and wife be snatched by a third party?

My mom looks beautiful, but she's definitely not the face of the country.

The room was passive.

It seems that after knocking me unconscious, they didn't leave right away, but stayed for a while.

I regret it very much now, why didn't I come back then?

This is my home!

Orchard?

I snapped into it.

Nanqi Airlines took me to the orchard.

I carefully recalled, and although the orchard in the photo was taken in a different location than the one I had seen in the evening, the small house in the back would not change, only a small room.

It should be for people to rest.

Especially the windows, which were the same as they had seen that night.

I subconsciously took out the cigarette and the lighter, and accidentally the lighter fell to the ground, I picked it up, but immediately lowered my head again, and I noticed the change in the carpet, although it was no different from the original carpet in terms of texture and newness.

But since I was a child, I have been practicing a thousand arts, and my eyesight is super strong.

I'm sure the carpet was replaced.

I vividly remember one time when I cut a fruit, blood dripped onto the carpet, and the knife fell to the ground, piercing the carpet. At that time, it was small, and the carpet was expensive, so I didn't dare to say it, so I usually avoided that place when I stepped on it.

Until now, no one but myself knew that the carpet had a small hole.

Even if someone sees it, they will simply ignore it.

I got on my stomach and examined it closely, and the hole was gone.

If the things on the walls have been changed, it is for me to discover, then why should the most inconspicuous carpet be replaced? It can only mean that some people may even have remodeled the floor, and it is difficult to completely pave the carpet to its original appearance if it is replaced.

A discerning person can see it at a glance.

So it can only be replaced with the same old piece.

It also shows that someone doesn't want me to discover what's underground.

And the changes on the wall are nothing more than to attract attention.

So who is this person?

It could be me or someone else!

I took out the dagger and cut a hole in the carpet, sure enough, there was a notch on the ground, I cut a large piece, and the notch finally saw clearly, it was a picture of thirteen, it seemed to be some irregular curves, and there was a bowl symbol painted in some places, the twelve zodiac signs plus the unicorn bowl was exactly thirteen, but the arrangement of the bowls was irregular, I took a look, this should be a machine to unlock some mechanisms.

Finally, they should be arranged in the order of unicorns, rats, cows and pigs.

A special kind of jigsaw puzzle.

There are six-six puzzles and ninety-nine puzzles.

After shuffling the order, you can take a puzzle piece and put the puzzle piece together until the last step, and put the piece of the puzzle on it, which is exactly a complete pattern.

But the picture on the ground is a curve, and the arrows are marked.

It means that after the puzzle begins, you can only advance, not retreat.

It is the Kirin that can be taken down.

I imagine that this kind of game can only go in and cannot go back, there must be a fixed step, take a wrong step, and there is no turning back. I kept the picture in my head, but one thing I didn't understand was that if the thirteen bowls represented the bowl pattern above, then the game could go on even if it wasn't a real bowl.

But I never understood.

What the hell are the two purple heads for?

Just then, the lights suddenly went dark.

Then there was a faint sound of footsteps on the roof, and it seemed that someone knew that I was here, and was about to kill me, but I didn't have time to think about it, and opened the door with my powerful ability to act in the dark.

As soon as it came out.

And a knife came out of the shadows.

I dodged for a while, didn't fight, and ran straight out of the gate and onto the road.

At this moment, a car suddenly rushed towards me, I immediately ran to the side, hid behind a big tree, the car came to a stop in front, and someone came out of the darkness and got into the car directly.

Maybe it's because the driver is too nervous.

As soon as I got out of the intersection, there was an accident.

The two of them got out of the car and ran, leaving the other party's driver to scold, he was just about to take out his mobile phone to call the police, I ran in front of him, "Don't call the police, your car, I want it, pay you a new one." ”

The driver was stunned.

I called Yuchunlou and asked her to come over with the money.

And I lifted the front hood of the car and looked at the engine number.

I called Qi Long again and asked, "Brother Long, do you have any friends in the traffic police force?" I have something I want to ask you for. ”
