Some days I didn't see her, and the little witch didn't look the same as she did then.

He was so thin that he was a little malnourished, his hair was unkempt, and only a pair of eyes were as black and bright as purple grapes.

Su Chengyi looked at her for a long time, and the other party blinked his eyes with a calm expression.

"You guys. . . Know? ”

Ye Tangerine on the side observed for a while, and couldn't help but hesitate and ask.

"It's not an acquaintance."

Su Chengyi replied slowly.

It's just an accomplice who helped her cover up the theft.

"Yes, Xiao Xia looks very close to you."

Ye Tang was skeptical, and added:

"On weekdays, when the doctor comes to check, she hides far away, and she doesn't run away when she sees you."

It turns out that if you don't run away, you can get close, Su Cheng thought.

"Forget it, Xiao Xia is here, my sister will introduce you."

Ye Tang took Yu Xia's hand and touched the top of her hairy head again.

"This is Su Chengyi, although it looks quite bad, but he is actually a good person."

"Su Chengyi, this is Xiao Xia, and I am mainly responsible for taking care of her here.

A very well-behaved child sister, she looks good at drawing. ”

"Alright, that's it. Let's shake hands~"

Ye Cheng is like a kindergarten teacher, and Su Chengyi is very skeptical that she also has nursery school experience in her vast part-time career.

Yu Xia's eyes looked at him without turning, but there was no movement in his hands.

Su Chengyi had no choice but to squat down and look at her, and at the same time stretched out his palms and raised them slightly.

"Hello."

I've seen it for a long time, but now it's official.

For a long time, it seems to have passed the examination.

Yu Xia stretched out his hand, not retracting his grip, but his fingertips gently swept over his palm.

"Okay~ Xiao Xia is so good!"

Ye Tang touched her head again, and at the same time took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and put it in the palm of her hand.

Su Chengyi lowered his eyes to hide his thoughts.

When we met before, the little witch was wrapped in the long nightgown that was wide and mopped the floor, which is why he nicknamed her the little witch in his heart.

Today she was wearing a hospital gown of the same specifications as other patients, and when she raised her hand, Su Chengyi clearly saw that there were large burn marks on her wrists.

It looks like an old wound, and the twisted scars are really a bit terrifying.

After Yu Xia took the chocolate, although his face was still expressionless, there was obviously a little more color in his dark eyes, and he seemed to be very happy.

Instead of rushing to eat, she turned around and pulled open the drawer next to the bed.

As if she felt that everyone in the room was trustworthy, she didn't hide it.

Su Chengyi stood behind her, and could see what was stuffed with the drawers.

Several stacks of colorful transparent candy wrappers, like leftovers from old-fashioned fruit candy, are carefully spread out and laid out neatly.

A flat tin box in the shape of a bear, if I'm not mistaken, was originally used to hold chocolate.

Su Chengyi recalled that time when chocolate was suspected of stealing chocolate, but he didn't expect that the murderer behind the scenes also collected stolen goods.

Plush kitten toys keychains, colorful cartoon stickers, very popular decompression plasticine among children.

This guy is like a scavenger.

Su Chengyi gave the final evaluation.

But Yu Xia seems to regard these as precious treasures.

She opened the bear tin box and carefully placed the chocolate that Ye Tangerine had just given her.

Su Chengyi took a look at it, and there was already a lot of accumulation in it.

For her, it could be the equivalent of a piggy bank.

Sensing Su Chengyi's inquiring gaze, Yu Xia quickly hugged the box and took two steps back vigilantly.

Su Chengyi raised his hand and explained helplessly:

"I don't eat, I don't eat."

After a while, as if she had made up her mind, she took a piece of chocolate from it, squatted down, and gently placed it in the middle of the two.

Ye Tang checked the lock of the window, and when he turned around, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Oh my God, why are we Xiao Xia so sensible? Favorite chocolates are also willing to share! Great, my sister is going to buy you a big box tomorrow! ”

Su Chengyi looked at the tightly nailed window frame, and found that there was a small pot of flesh underneath, which was not luxuriant, a little wilted, and looked like malnutrition.

It's a bit like its owner.

After the routine inspection, Ye Tang obtained Yu Xia's consent and showed her album to Su Chengyi.

Speaking of which, this album is also a meeting gift from Ye Tangerine.

Because before I officially joined the company, I heard other nurses complain that this little girl used chalk to paint on the wall all day long, which made it difficult for them to clean up.

So Ye Tang bought a picture book and watercolor pens and brought them over.

In fact, it is the kind that is often sold in the boutique at the entrance of the school, which is very cheap and common.

But this gift made Yu Xia like it very much, and it also became a bridge for her to trust and accept Ye Tang.

Su Chengyi listened to Ye Tang's explanation and nodded thoughtfully.

It's hard for her to think of these methods, if it were him, he would definitely not have such a mind.

I originally thought that the album would be the kind of common children's paintings, blue sky and white clouds, simple small houses, and a few stickmen holding hands

However, the painting that caught his eye made Su Chengyi frown instantly.

Large expanses of dazzling colors, unrecognizable and strange shapes, which look like they have been painted casually with their eyes closed, are very abstract overall.

"Can you understand what this painting is?"

Su Chengyi couldn't help but ask.

"I don't understand, but I feel amazing."

Ye Tang looked nervous, and turned a few pages back.

"Well, this one is easier to understand, it seems to be a person."

If you look at it according to the shape of the body, it should indeed be a person, but the facial features on the face are upside down and misplaced, and the expression is distorted and terrifying.

Looking at it makes people feel very uncomfortable suddenly.

Su Chengyi endured the discomfort and casually flipped a few pages back, not wanting to see that face again.

"But, don't you think these paintings don't look right?"

"Well, this one seems to be a little scary.,I didn't see it yesterday.,Did you just draw it today?"

Ye Tang frowned and looked at the latest page in the album.

Compared to the previous abstract painting, this one is actually much more recognizable.

In the upper left corner of the painting is a house from which a "person" is crawling out on all fours in a twisted position.

Behind him is a large black shadow with a jumble of brushstrokes.

Su Chengyi tried hard to identify it for a long time, but he didn't see anything in this shadow.

"Oh, how can I look a little uncomfortable in people's hearts."

Ye Tang closed the album and fell into deep thought.

Didn't the previous paintings give you this feeling? The obtuse force is too strong, isn't it?

Su Chengyi couldn't help but complain in his heart.

However, with his ability to appreciate art, he can't see much more information than his intuition is uncomfortable.

In this case, it is better to ask a more professional person.

Before leaving, Su Chengyi took a few photos of the album that impressed him more and sent them to Chu Qianmian.

The other party replied quickly.

Su Chengyi !! What are you doing in broad daylight! It's scared to death! ”

"Swipe the screen, swipe the screen, swipe the screen!"

"It's scary!"

"Warn you, don't scare me! Otherwise, it will bite you to death. ”

Judging by the situation, it should be mistaken that he is deliberately sending ghost pictures to scare people.

"I didn't scare you, this is a painting of the little sister. Can you help me see what information you can see? ”

"Oh, then you send it again, I just manually deleted all those messages."

“.”

Su Chengyi had no choice but to send it again.

This time, Chu Tianmian's reply was a little longer.

"It's scary to look at!"

"Especially the last one, you take a closer look."

The last one is the latest one that Ye Tangerine just said, Chu Qianmian edited the picture and circled the shadow.

"I can't see it."

"Oops."

Chu Qianmian had no choice but to use his fingers to outline the outline of the pattern in the shadows.

Only then did Su Chengyi see that there was actually a human face in the shadows.

The teeth are sharp and the smile is hideous.

"It's definitely not a random scribble, it's a story."

Chu Tianmian made up his mind about this.

"In the last picture, the person who crawled out is running away, and the faces floating out of the house represent danger and evil."

But how could a child draw such a picture? Could it be a nightmare? ”

Under Chu Qianmian's explanation, Su Chengyi finally understood what this painting wanted to express.

At the same time, his thoughts became heavier and heavier.

In the end, he confirmed one more thing to Ye Tang.

"Can you help check Yu Xia's admission records?"

In fact, it stands to reason that such information belongs to personal privacy and cannot be passed on casually.

If it was Miss Chu, she would be ashamed of her own super high moral principles, although she would still be honest and help find out.

If it was Chen Jinzhi, she would definitely tell Su Chengyi the reason why he needed this information from Su Chengyi's mouth while telling the information.

But fortunately, the other party was Ye Tang, and this guy nodded and agreed without hesitation without asking anything.

"The admission record was five years ago, and all other information was blank except for the name. Maybe the procedures weren't strict enough.

By the way, the surname of the person who handled the formalities for her was Gao. ”

This high is obviously a high and strong high.

On the car home, Su Chengyi looked out the window, his thoughts fluctuating.

By now, things are already obvious.

This little witch girl who is a thief is the only survivor of the tragedy that Chu Yuanjiang mentioned.

From her paintings, even some of the details of the case can be restored.

She herself is the one who runs away in the last painting.

Chu Yuanjiang suspected that this case had something to do with Wu Shaobo, so he sent Yu Xia to a sanatorium.

Of course, he obviously didn't do it because he was a super good man.

It's just because he wants to protect Yu Xia, a witness, as a pawn.

When he realized that Yu Xia was insane and could no longer play a role, he quickly regarded her as an outcast and stopped paying attention to her.

Yu Xia grew up in a sanatorium, and some time ago, she met Granny Xu, who was admitted to Alzheimer's disease.

Granny Xu, perhaps with a bad memory, mistook her for her relative, told her the address of her home, and said something similar to "if you want to eat, take it yourself".

Therefore, this guy really escaped from the sanatorium and came to Qinghe District, which is near Su Chengyi's house, thus creating a series of thieves.

It is precisely because of this that when Su Chengyi taught her not to steal again, she would be so arrogant.

Because in her cognition, she wasn't stealing at all.

Suddenly, all the threads were connected like this.

Su Chengyi didn't have any excitement about solving the puzzle successfully.

Because the story behind this puzzle is so bloody that it only feels heavy.

And Su Chengyi always felt that Yu Xia was not "insane" in the conventional sense, on the contrary, she was absolutely sober.

But it's good or bad for her.

Perhaps it is much easier to live in a state of madness than to be sober and face everything.

Because of the events of the past few days, Su Chengyi was very depressed, and when he realized that he couldn't adjust it on his own, he called and asked a person who knew what silly music best was to go out.

Su Chengyi straightened his back, pulled the bow and drew the string, and tilted his head slightly.

"Whoosh-"

With a fierce sound of the wind, the arrow from the string steadily hit the red heart of the arrow target.

", have you practiced it? So accurate!! ”

Xu Yang was carrying a bow on the side and looked at him in disbelief.

Su Chengyi retracted his posture and said lightly:

"I've been practicing for a while."

"It's so handsome, you go directly to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"! Flying snow shoots white deer in the sky~"

Xu Yang has always liked these cool skills the most, and his eyes are about to turn into star eyes.

His monkey cry echoed in the huge arrow hall, and it was just the two of them.

Belonging to the era of hot weapons, bows and arrows have long been outdated and reduced to a symbol of the old era.

With a fully automatic burst crossbow, there is no longer even the last silent advantage.

Because of this, bows and arrows have become one of the few weapons that can be legally held.

But Su Chengyi practiced bows and arrows, of course, not to use them as some kind of weapon.

It's just that when the bow is drawn, people's emotions are tense to the extreme, and when they hold their breath and concentrate, they will no longer have any superfluous thoughts.

All that is left of the world is the arrow that is about to leave the string, and the bullseye in the distance.

For Su Chengyi in the past, this is a good way to decompress.

Xu Yang happened to mention it today, so he agreed, and after shooting an arrow, his mood was indeed much calmer.

Xu Yang had just studied for a few days, and originally thought that he could show off in front of Su Chengyi, but he didn't expect to be shown off.

The two sat on the side of the steps, drinking water and resting.

Xu Yang secretly glanced at the expressions of the people beside him, and finally asked thoughtfully:

"Mr. Yi, are you not in a good mood today?"

"Is it obvious?"

Su Chengyi crumpled the finished mineral water bottle in his hand.

The old is obvious. When you first shot an arrow, I hid far away, otherwise I would always feel like you were going to shoot through the throat. ”

Xu Yang touched his throat with a little fear, as if he was afraid that there would suddenly be an extra blood hole.

Su Chengyi didn't answer, just sighed softly.

"What's the matter, what's the matter to talk to my brother!"

When Xu Yang saw him silent, he scratched his head anxiously.

Su Chengyi looked at the big golden retriever jumping up and down in front of him, and suddenly wanted to laugh a little, and reached out and knocked on his head.

"Don't worry, my brother can definitely help, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup.

What is the relationship between the two of us, you say, don't be awkward, say it quickly, no matter what, it's all on me!! ”

Xu Yang looked genuinely worried about his state.

Su Cheng thought, is it so obvious? He also thought he was hiding well.

"It's really nothing."

Seeing that Xu Yang was about to be anxious again, Su Chengyi had no choice but to continue:

"Just thought of something."

"What's the problem?"

Xu Yang looked incredulous.

What else in the world can stump this non-human god in front of him?

"Do you know about Zhou Yan?"

Su Chengyi asked.

"Well, the wood told me."

Even though Xu Yang is heartless on weekdays, he still droops his eyebrows at this time, looking a little sad.

Su Cheng thought for a while, and then continued:

"Do you know why I feel compelled to help?"

"Of course, it's because of chivalry!!"

Xu Yang waved his fist, looking ambitious.

"Mr. Yi, you are good, my generation model! The only flaw is that I wasn't called! ”

“.”

Su Chengyi was silent for a long time, feeling that he should have guessed that Da Cong would answer like this.

He always thinks that he doesn't have so much so-called chivalry, and more often, he is even a cold person.

But in the face of such a thing, he has no way to stand idly by.

Especially as a reborn.

If he was like a passerby in his previous life, in this life, Su Chengyi felt that he was like the center of the world.

After all, even time has turned for him.

Then, it may be said that everything that happened in the current timeline is related to him.

The more I feel like this, the more sad I feel when I witness the suffering and regret of others and are powerless.

"Mr. Yi, do you remember a primary school text?"

Xu Yang suddenly asked thoughtlessly.

"Which one?"

Su Chengyi didn't know why.

"After the storm, a man went for a walk on the beach and found that there were many small fish trapped in the shallow puddle of the beach, and it was not long before the water in the shallow puddle dried up, and the small fish would dry up and die.

The man continued to walk forward, and suddenly found a little boy in front of him, and he kept bending down to pick up the small fish and throw it back into the sea.

The man couldn't help but go over and tell him that there were probably thousands of small fish trapped here, and you couldn't save them.

The little boy did not lift his head, but replied, "I know."

The man was even more strange and continued to ask him, then why are you still throwing? Who cares? ”

When Xu Yang said this, Su Chengyi had already remembered the end of this text.

"This little fish cares."

The boy replied as he continued to pick up the fish and threw it back into the sea.

"This one cares, this one cares!"

"Mr. Yi, you are very cool in my eyes, really. You're the coolest man in the world. ”

Xu Yang's gaze fell on the arrows inserted on the target in the distance.

"It's not because you're accurate in archery, it's not because you're super strong and a god, it's not because you know everything, it's not because you're handsome.

It's because you seem to have a feeling of universalizing sentient beings, doing a lot of things, always regardless of the return. ”

Su Chengyi was praised by him and wanted to laugh a little, and coughed to hide his embarrassment.

This is almost praising him as a saint in the world, and the filter of great wisdom is a little too heavy for him.

"Really mean! So don't worry about these things.

You don't want to think about how old you are now, and what you can't solve now, maybe in two years, it will be sprinkling water for you! ”

It is rare for Xu Yang to speak so seriously, and his eyes are sincere.

Su Chengyi was suddenly a little moved, but he didn't expect that he would really be persuaded by Da Clever.

Yes, it's useless to stay where you are and hurt your spirits, you just need to get up and move forward.

Even if there are thousands of dangers ahead, there will always be a day when the clouds will open and the moon will shine.
