15 Afraid

Wisteria blooms and blossoms, and the flowering period is gorgeous and short.

On the wide street, a woman in a warm yellow shirt hurried forward, until she turned a corner and saw the familiar gate, slowing down and breathing much more slowly.

Just raised her hand and knocked on the door, someone behind her suddenly patted her on the shoulder.

"Ahh

A piercing scream resounded through the otherwise quiet and empty street, startling the birds resting on the eaves to spread their wings and flee from the place, which also frightened the people behind them, and almost fell off the steps.

"Aiyun, what's wrong?" Liu Hui clutched his chest and hurriedly grabbed Lin Aiyun's arm to bring back people's thoughts.

Seeing the person clearly, Lin Aiyun breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and the tight strings in his mind broke suddenly, "It turned out to be Aunt Hui, you, I'm fine, I'm just a little ...... It's okay. ”

Listening to the other party's incoherent words, Liu Hui was keenly aware of something, turned around and looked around, but did not find anything abnormal, so he could only lead her in first, and only after locking the door did he say softly: "Did you encounter something?" If you don't mind, you can tell me about it. ”

Hearing this, Lin Aiyun first shook his head, and then nodded, it's okay that no one cares, as soon as someone cares, all the fear in his heart pours out, his face turns from blue to red, and finally turns pale and weak.

"I'm here, what's wrong?" Liu Hui was stunned for a while, and then stepped forward and patted Lin Aiyun's shoulder, and asked again, usually the latter is quiet and sensible, strong and smiling, and can do everything very well, so this is the first time she has seen Lin Aiyun panic like this.

Not to mention Liu Hui, even Lin Aiyun was surprised by her reaction.

"I may have had a delusion because I haven't had a good rest recently, and I don't know if it's a delusion." Lin Aiyun covered her face, not wanting Liu Hui to see her embarrassment and feel a little embarrassed.

How old are you, and it's not the first time you've encountered something like this, and you're still panicked like this.

But no matter how many times you meet it, it is false to say that you are not afraid.

Because he was born white and good-looking, from childhood to adulthood, whether in the village or when he was studying in the town, there were inevitably some self-righteous jokes and teasing by some foul-smelling men, but most of them had a thief's heart but not a thief's courage, and at most they took advantage of their words, so it was still cowardly for them to really get started.

But this time, it was completely different from the previous experience, very weird, and it all started a few days ago.

Xiao Cheng's departure, the sudden blind date, and the blame in the parents' letter...... The accumulation of these messy things together has made her exhausted, and the recent inexplicable encounters have made people sleep and eat badly, and they are terrified all day long, for fear that something will happen in the next second.

Ding Weidong's uncle died suddenly, and everyone needed to take care of everything, Ding's father and him had a deep brotherly relationship, and rushed to help with the family overnight, so Lin Aiyun was the only one left in the entire Ding family.

Although Zhang Wenyue asked her next-door neighbor to help take care of Lin Aiyun, she usually didn't speak, the relationship was not close, and when she really encountered something, she was not embarrassed to trouble others at all, and the neighbor had to go back to the countryside to visit relatives from time to time, and she was often not at home, she couldn't find anyone, and she couldn't trouble.

The Ding family is usually lively, but it has suddenly become so deserted and weird, not to mention Lin Aiyun, who has long been accustomed to having people around her all the time, fortunately, the first two days were quite calm, nothing happened, and she was clean at home alone.

But until the afternoon of the third day after the Ding family left, when she came home from work, she always felt that there was a tail behind her, but when she looked back, there was no one, at first she felt that she was too sensitive, but as the number of times this inexplicable feeling gradually increased, she could no longer lie to herself, it was not her illusion at all, but someone was really following her quietly.

Although the other party did not make hurtful actions for the time being, but just followed silently in the shadows, it was this situation that could not catch people no matter what, which was the most torturous.

It's only been a few days, but Lin Aiyun feels that she is going crazy, and she is only one step away from a complete collapse.

Who the hell is it? Man or woman? Stranger or acquaintance?

The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, everything is unknown, what if one day that person doesn't want to play a game of peek-a-boo with her anymore and does it directly, what should she do? How can she, a powerless woman, protect herself?

Lin Aiyun has a suspicion, that is Niu Wenshan.

Because she had only arrived in Lanxi County for a short time, she didn't know a few people, so she couldn't think of anyone else except him.

But Lin Aiyun went to the machinery factory where Niu Wenshan worked to inquire, and the doorman said that there was a big order in the factory next month, so everyone was working overtime to catch up with the task during this time.

In this way, Niu Wenshan had no time to follow her at all.

Excluding him, she thought about it again, and guessed it for a while, and couldn't guess who it was.

Usually she deliberately dresses up plain and old-fashioned, and she can't take out a few dollars on her body, so she doesn't look like a rich person, for money? Most people are not blind.

Then there is only one possibility left, the other party is colorful, after all, Lin Aiyun thinks that he still has a bit of a posture.

After saying her suspicions, Lin Aiyun looked at Liu Hui worriedly, not knowing if she would believe such a thing without evidence, but fortunately she believed it, her face gradually became solemn, and her tone was worried.

"You live alone now, maybe there are bad people targeting this, so I want to attack you, no wonder I said why you have been a little absent-minded in the past two days, it turns out that you have encountered this bad thing."

Lin Aiyun smiled bitterly: "I don't know what to do now, if I go to the police, the police won't care at all." ”

How can the police take care of cases that haven't happened yet?

Liu Hui also understood this truth, looked at Lin Aiyun, who was trembling with fright, and after thinking for a while, he muttered: "If you don't live with me before your aunt and them come back, you can take care of it, otherwise you go back and forth alone every day, and it is too easy for you to have an accident." ”

After almost a month of getting along, Lin Aiyun's character is obvious to all, and even if she lives at home, she is not afraid of conflicts.

"Thank you so much, Aunt Hui." Lin Aiyun tightened Liu Hui's hand and gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing with these kind words, after eating at noon later, I will accompany you back to get some changes of clothes, and you can live here with peace of mind." Liu Hui looked at Lin Aiyun, who was as big as her child, and her lips hooked up with an upward arc.

In the afternoon, the sun was dazzling, and the two of them went out with a key, walking in the direction of Ding's house, I don't know if it was because she usually didn't come out at noon, this was the first time in so many days that she didn't feel the sight of the mangs on her back.

Lin Aiyun touched the back of his neck, which was wet with sweat and sticky.

"Is there anything I can help me with?" This is Liu Hui's first time coming to Ding's house, and it is inevitable that he will be a little curious to look around the warm layout.

"There's not much to do, you sit for a while, and I'll be fine right away." Lin Aiyun poured Liu Hui a glass of water, and then went to the balcony to put the dried clothes into the room and put them in bags, and when she was sorting out the cabinet, she found a handkerchief in the corner.

The plain orchids are swaying and beautiful.

This was given to her when she first met Aunt Hui.

Lin Aiyun stuffed the handkerchief into the pocket of her clothes, thought about it, took out a pen and paper and briefly explained her whereabouts, and put it on the desk in Zhang Wenyue's bedroom.

Finally, check whether the doors and windows inside and outside the house are locked, whether the water and electricity are closed, and find that there is no omission, so I walked to the living room with a backpack bag.

"Cleaned up?"

"yes, alright." Lin Aiyun nodded, remembered something, took out the handkerchief from his pocket as if offering a treasure, and said with a smile: "Aunt Hui, look at this." ”

Liu Hui took it, looked up and down, and recognized that it was his needle and thread at a glance, and then remembered what happened at the beginning, and said with a smile: "Do you still keep this?" ”

"Yes, I can't even use such a good handkerchief, the rotten velvet fabric is not cheap, and this embroidery method is complicated, it takes a lot of time to embroider."

Hearing this, Liu Hui raised his head and looked at Lin Aiyun in surprise, and was slightly stunned before curling his lips and said, "Do you know this fabric?" Do you know embroidery? ”

"I know, when I followed my mother to the market in the county town the year before last, I saw someone selling it, but the man said that it was used to make cheongsam, but I didn't expect it to be used by you to make a handkerchief." Lin Aiyun looked unflustered, and calmly recounted a lie that would not be exposed, she forgot that this time was not as developed as information in later generations, and many people had never seen rotten velvet fabric in their lives, let alone knew its name.

Sure enough, Liu Hui was silent for a while and then nodded: "It is true that many people use it to make cheongsam, but now the times are different, there are fewer people wearing cheongsam, and even the vendors who sell this kind of fabric have disappeared with a trace. ”

Talking about the old things, Liu Hui pursed her lips, with a faint starlight in her eyes, but it was only a moment, and those good times gradually blurred in the long river of time with the war, leaving only memories that can not be returned to those who still exist in the world.

"There's always a chance to go back and have a look." Lin Aiyun patted Liu Hui on the shoulder, after the liberation and reconstruction of Shanghai, it will only get better and better, after all, the title of the international magic capital in the future is not called in vain, and as long as it exists, then there will always be a day when it will return there.

"Yes, if you can, I want to invite you to my small yard to drink tea, taste pear paste candy and spiced beans, ah, and sand balls, you definitely don't know what this is, I made it for you to eat." Talking about this, Liu Hui has endless words, and the smile on her face is like the lingering spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River, which makes people can't help but listen carefully to her story.

Lin Aiyun listened silently, answering questions and answers from time to time, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Chatting and chatting, the two walked to the door of Liu's house, and just entered the door, Liu Hui thought of something, and changed the conversation and said: "Aiyun, do you know some embroidery?" ”
