not scary story

Chapter 13

That night, Qiao Yuan's fever reached 39 degrees. Qiao Xia, who was busy dealing with the scene, only came to sign and left the ward. Yan Jiu, who was exhausted, slept on another empty bed, half asleep and half awake. Watched all night.

In the end, Yan Jiu was woken up by the sister nurse who couldn't laugh or cry.The man who passed out from the fever yesterday had already put on his clothes, and stood at the end of his bed energetically, with a look of distaste on his face: "I slept so comfortably, what's the point of guarding the bed? Let's go back."

Yan Jiu got up in a hurry, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth with a blushing face, looked up, drank, the sun outside was shining on her buttocks, she quickly got out of bed and put on her shoes: "Are you in good health?"

Against the light, people can't see Qiao Yuan's expression clearly, but his voice seems to have softened a lot: "I am in better health than you imagined, this kind of minor illness is nothing. Qiao Xia sent me a text message and asked us to leave the hospital Then go home directly. Don’t worry about the things here.” Seeing that Yan Jiu almost fell because he put on his shoes too quickly, Qiao Yuan hurriedly supported him, and cursed: “You can fall down, are you stupid!”

The gentleness at that moment was immediately diluted, and Yan Jiu didn't notice it, because he realized that his feet were numb as if they were disabled due to an incorrect sleeping position all night. "Ahhh... you, slow down, don't pull, hiss... it hurts." The young man bared his teeth, unconsciously grabbed Qiao Yuan with both hands, leaned on him, and slowly moved forward.

Qiao Yuan was disgusted, but he never got rid of him.

When the two walked out of the hospital half-delayed, Yan Jiu subconsciously looked back at the inpatient building.

"This building seems to be seen more clearly than yesterday." He said.

Qiao Yuan proudly raised the corner of his lower lip, as if it was all due to his young master.

Said to go home, when Qiao Yuan took a taxi and reported the address of Qiao's house, Yan Jiu immediately took two steps back: "I will go back to the dormitory by myself."

Qiao Yuan dragged him into the car.

"I want to go back. I haven't changed my clothes for two days!" Yan Jiu protested angrily and weakly.

"New."

"Isn't it all right?" The boy mustered up his greatest courage to resist.

"Something happened."

"... What else can I do?"

"Crap."

"But I... oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh..." The boy who was intentionally touched on the numb point let out a suppressed scream.

The driver who had been silent all this time was so frightened that his hands shook. Fortunately, the car shook and returned to the normal direction.

Back at Qiao's house, the nanny took out a brand new set of clothes, including underwear, and sent Yan Jiu directly to the bathroom.

The bathtub was already half filled with brown liquid, and the nanny picked up the grapefruit leaves at the bottom of the tank, and said, "This is picked in the backyard, and it can exorcise evil spirits and disinfect it. Master Ayuan has been using this tree since he was a child when he came back from the hospital." Taking a bath with leaves, No Safeguard is as effective as it, Ah Jiu, try the temperature of the water, soak for 10 minutes and then come up again!"

Yan Jiu is not a native, so he can barely understand the meaning of this kind of Mandarin mixed with a strong local accent.Qiao Yuan's nanny also seems to be in her 60s or [-]s, and she has served in this house for many years. It seems that there are very few guests in the house, so she looks a little excited: "No one uses this place except for Mr. A Xia. , if you need anything, just tell me, I'll wash the clothes for Master A Yuan first. His clothes don't use a washing machine..." From the time he entered the door to the time he went out, he kept chattering nonstop, Yan Jiu sipped his lips mouth, a little want to laugh, I don't know how people like Qiao Yuan usually get along with the nanny.

After taking a shower, her body smelled of the fragrance of leaves. She was wearing slightly oversized clothes. As soon as Yan Jiu walked out of the guest room, she saw Qiao Xia and Shen Yutao sitting downstairs.

Qiao Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa, held a blackened magic card in a vacuum bag in his hand, looked at it for a while, and then said, "I don't know, I haven't seen it before."

"Ask Yang Si." Qiao Xia was still holding the winter melon soup given by the nanny.Perhaps the warmest thing in this empty home is the beautiful soup that the nanny will bring every time.

"Yang Si may not know what I don't know." Qiao Yuan sneered, "Or you can go to my mysterious master, so that the previous cases can be solved."

His teasing didn't make Qiao Xia show a dissatisfied expression. After drinking the winter melon soup, he slowly raised his head to look at Yan Jiu who came down the stairs in a hurry: "He wants to live in your house?"

Qiao Yuan frowned immediately: "I just asked him to take a bath, lest he bring the bad smell of the hospital back to the dormitory, and some strange things were attracted in the middle of the night, and he was crying and howling everywhere for help."

The corner of Yan Jiu's mouth twitched slightly, in that case, he would definitely.

"Officer Qiao, did the hospital... solve the case?" Yan Jiu still couldn't forget the boy's expression before he was sucked away. If this matter didn't come to fruition, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep soundly during this time.

"If you can solve this mystery." Qiao Xia shook the magic card in his hand. "We only found this in the elevator shaft. But one thing is certain, the person who made this formation is to suck the souls of those who died of medical accidents or other abnormal reasons here, and make offerings to this divine card. The material is a bit like ebony, which is supposed to ward off evil spirits, but after refining it in this way, it may have even more terrifying effects..."

"Hey? I seem to have seen this thing before." Yan Jiu walked over in surprise, observed up and down, and blurted out, "Isn't this the token in Bai Wuchang's hand?"

"..."

"Bai... impermanence?" Qiao Yuan was in disbelief.

It was only then that Yan Jiu came to his senses, and found that everyone's eyes were dull with surprise, so he scratched his head in embarrassment, "I was knocked by him before, and my memory is a bit deep..."

This is the first time he has confided to others the secret of his good relationship with the messenger of the underworld. Although it feels like a fake tiger's prestige, this "background" state makes him feel that he is somewhat less useless in front of Qiao Yuan. "When I was young, I secretly followed Bai Wuchang and was reprimanded by him. At that time, the token he held in his hand was this kind of wood, and it should look similar. I didn't ask what it was for, but it seemed that when he lit up, those Ghosts are obedient..."

Everyone's expressions became mysterious again.

Yan Jiu thought that he could help solve the case, so he was somewhat happy, but when he was halfway through the sentence, he suddenly found that the eyes of the three people looking at him changed, becoming defensive and suspicious.

"...What's the matter?" Yan Jiu has been able to observe words and emotions since he was a child, and just a little change can make him change from joy to caution.

"You actually know Bai Wuchang?" Qiao Yuan was the first to question, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Thinking that he was questioning that she was lying, Yan Jiu quickly stammered and explained: "I don't know too well, I met Bai Wuchang several times when I was young, I didn't know their identities at first, and later, when I was stalking, I was caught They found out, they said they would take me away, and my grandmother scolded them, and I recognized them. At most, I just nodded friendship with them. "

Qiao Yuan got up from the sofa, grabbed his right hand unexpectedly, and pinched his artery fiercely. The pain caused the young man to scream out. He wanted to struggle but didn't dare. He let go of his hand, and when he saw that the entire palm was bloodshot red, he slightly relaxed his brows: "It is indeed an ordinary person."

Shen Yutao interjected helplessly: "Don't scare him, such a great merit, it can't be a ghost or something."

"The yin and yang eyes have good eyesight, you can get acquainted with Bai Wuchang, and start attracting ghosts after you become an adult. This is not something ordinary people can do, right?" Qiao Xia leaned on the sofa with one hand propped on her chin, as if preparing for an interrogation, "You Is there anything else that hasn't been explained?"

"Who are you?" Qiao Yuan asked even more bluntly.

Yan Jiu watched the three people who had just communicated with him suddenly become alienated, and a wave of overwhelming depression covered him again.

Look, he screwed up again.

Who would believe these things that only you can see?

The world in his eyes is simply a joke.Even if it really exists, if only he can see it, how is it different from a lie?

"I've explained everything I need to explain. I really don't know anything." Yan Jiu lowered her head expressionlessly, not wanting to look at them anymore.

He's had enough.

It's not that I haven't tried to bravely tell others what I saw, but so what?The result is still mistrust and alienation.

It is right to be ridiculed as a liar again and again, to be suspicious and alienated again and again, and maybe not to care about anything.

He's the one with the worst eyesight in the world.

Yan Jiu lowered his head, his bangs covered the anger in his eyes, the turmoil in his heart prevented him from listening to a word even when Qiao Xia asked.

"I'm going back." Regardless of what they were still saying, he grabbed his dirty clothes and said, "I've finished everything. Goodbye. I'll send you the clothes later." Leaving this sentence behind, He turned his head and rushed to the gate, opened the door before Qiao Yuan stopped him, and rushed out of the mansion that he didn't want to step into again.

When I came out, I found that there were no buses in this rich area.Afraid of being chased by others, he walked around a long way before reaching the bus station a few kilometers away.

However, Qiao Yuan did not catch up.

Or, it may be that he was not found.

Yan Jiu wiped her nose and stood alone on the bus stop where there was only one bus.

It was not until a long time later that a tear was quietly shed.
