Tick-tock.
A crisp sound suddenly rang out from the room, as if something had fallen onto the concrete floor.
It was the sound of glass beads … rolling.
A small glass bead slowly rolled out from the dark room through the crack of the door.
Tick tock — This time, there were more than one ticking sound in the room. Then, one after another, green, blue, or colorful glass beads began to slip out from the crack of the door like eyeballs.
Some of them were even bouncing, rolling, and slipping … right under Luoqiu's feet.
Luoqiu glanced at it, then leaned over and picked up one of the glass beads. He glanced at the crack of the door.
A face was staring at Luoqiu at this time.
It was only a very small face, and the sparse hair was tangled messily, like a dark green sea lily growing by the sea. The eyes were huge, but not symmetrical. The left eyeball had even peeled off, hanging on the face like it was broken.
There was no way to find the nose of this face, and the cheeks were even broken open. The wound looked like it had been scratched open by something. What was squeezed out of the uneven wound was something soft that was dyed gray.
Luoqiu blinked and reached out to grab the small face. His palm was big enough, so he could even grab the exposed face with one hand.
The black door and the crack of the room could not stop Luoqiu's next move after grabbing the head. Luoqiu directly pulled it out and looked at it under the flashing light.
"So this thing is still here."
Boss Luo kept it in his hand, but it was just a shabby … rag doll that could almost be thrown away like garbage.
Looking at the quiet crack in the room, Luoqiu said casually, "When I was a child, I came back here once, and this little guy fell somewhere. Grandpa and Grandma were still around at that time. I think they found them after I left. "
There was still no movement from inside the room. Boss Luo crouched down and picked up the scattered glass beads one by one. He suddenly said, "Are you not going to come out?"
A deep and sharp voice suddenly rang out. "Aren't you afraid?"
Luoqiu said indifferently, "This is also my home. What should I be afraid of … Or should I say, what are you afraid of? It's not good to scare people like that. "
There was a long silence in the room before the voice spoke again, "I … I didn't know someone had returned. I'll stay here for a while. Don't worry, I definitely didn't touch anything in this house. I … I'll leave now, but please don't call the police! Please believe me! "
"Aren't you going to eat?" Luoqiu suddenly asked.
"What?"
"Well, actually, I can't cook now. If you don't mind, you can go downstairs and eat, "Luoqiu smiled and said," The smell is coming out … your instant noodles are probably going to be burnt. "
The door of the room was suddenly opened and the light was turned on. The person who was really hiding naturally appeared in front of Luoqiu.
It was a man about 35 or 36 years old, about the same size as Luoqiu – Wei Taisetsu.
…
"You … you really won't call the police?"
Wei Taisetsu didn't really go downstairs.
At this moment, he was sitting in the utility room on a small plastic stool. He was holding a bowl of Kang X pickled cabbage instant noodles. The noodles were already rolled up on the fork, but he didn't eat. Instead, he looked at Luoqiu in surprise.
Luoqiu looked inside the room. A rectangular piece of paper was placed on the floor. Next to it were some clothes. Next to it was a small bag. Inside the bag was some rubbish.
On the opposite side was a small kettle. Attached to it was something that looked like a car battery. Next to it were several bottles of mineral water.
There was also an empty can of Eight Treasures Congee on the floor. It was used to store cigarette butts. The curtains of the only window in the room were pulled open slightly. A row of new houses could be seen across the village road.
Luoqiu shook his head and said, "Actually, there is no need for that."
Wei Taisetsu was shocked and said in disbelief, "But I didn't ask your house …"
Luoqiu said coolly, "Houses are meant for people to live in. Other than that, I can't think of any other use for a house. Besides, didn't you say that you didn't touch anything here? You didn't touch anything before I came back … after I came back, you shouldn't touch anything, right? "
Wei Taisetsu looked up and said in shock, "You … you really believe me?"
Luoqiu said calmly, "Otherwise, you wouldn't be staying in this junk room."
Wei Taisetsu did not reply. He just lowered his head and ate the instant noodles in big mouthfuls. After he finished eating, Wei Taisetsu even drank the soup before wiping his mouth. "I heard that there is only one child left in this house. She lives in the big city and hasn't been back for a long time. I thought there was no one here, so I stayed here temporarily. Don't worry, I will leave in a while. "
"It doesn't matter." Luoqiu shook his head and said, "I will stay here for a few days. After that, I have to go back. If you don't touch anything else here, it doesn't matter if you stay here … Also, the electricity is connected. Do you want to take a bath? "
Wei Taisetsu looked at the young man in his early twenties in disbelief. He had no idea what was going on in the other party's mind. How could he be so polite to a stranger who had broken into his house?
"Won't you feel uncomfortable?" Luoqiu said with a smile, "After working for a whole day, won't you feel uncomfortable?"
Wei Taisetsu suddenly stood up. "How do you know I worked for a whole day?"
"Your body is so dirty. If you didn't work, what did you do?" Luoqiu shook his head and said, "Don't worry. They know I'm back. Now that they are bathing with the lights on, it won't be strange if they make any noise."
"What kind of person are you?" Wei Taisetsu looked at him silently.
It had been a long, long time since he had met someone who could speak to him so politely and politely.
"What about you?" Luoqiu asked back, "You have heard about my family. That means you are from this village?"
Wei Taisetsu glanced at the small gap in the curtain and sighed. "My name is Wei Taisetsu … If this was before, I think you would call me brother-in-law."
"Luo Zheng told me about you." Luoqiu nodded. "When he brought me back today, he mentioned it."
"So the guest he picked up was you …" Wei Taisetsu was stunned.
He and this young man had already met before. It was just that they hadn't met face to face … Wei Taisetsu's lips moved. In the end, he said with a bitter smile, "Then you know me. Luo Zheng must have told you everything … about me."
"In general," Luoqiu said, "But, no matter what, you should have said that you would be able to find a place to stay, right? You have a job. "
Wei Taisetsu lowered his head and took out the wrinkled soft pack of cigarettes. He only took out half of it and looked at Luoqiu.
"It's okay." Luoqiu opened the window directly.
Wei Taisetsu thought about it and stuffed the cigarette box into his pocket.
"I don't actually come here often." Wei Taisetsu looked at the lights of a row of new houses outside the window. "I just came to see the child. My wife … my ex-wife would come back here with the child for one or two days every weekend. I usually come here for one or two days. "
Because of Grandma Xiaochun's matter, Luoqiu's cousin took a leave of absence and came back with the child.
When the old woman's time was up, her grandchildren came back one after another.
"I'm going to see if the appliance for boiling water can still be used." Luoqiu suddenly smiled and said, "You should prepare. Since you are here, you are a guest. As the host, I naturally have to entertain you."
"You don't have to …"
But Wei Taisetsu seemed to be unable to stop the actions of this young man. Luoqiu left the utility room and went downstairs … Or, he suddenly wanted to be treated like this.
"The visitor is a guest …" Wei Taisetsu looked out of the window silently.
He suddenly shook his head and muttered to himself, "This guy is more courageous than me when I was young … Why didn't I scare him?"
Only then did he take out his cigarette box again and light up a cigarette. Then, he dug out a cheap pair of binoculars that could be bought for around ten yuan from the pile of clothes. He leaned against the window sill and didn't reveal his entire face. He just stood there diagonally and stared blankly at the figures moving about in the opposite house.
After a while, Wei Taisetsu's phone suddenly vibrated. He looked down at the caller ID on the phone … The word "Big Head" was written.
Wei Taisetsu frowned and quickly threw the phone directly into the pile of clothes.
But he seemed to feel that this was not enough, so he grabbed a handful of clothes, covered the phone, and slammed it hard.
…
In this kind of old house, the gas tank used to be used in the past. The water heater was naturally petrified gas.
After so many years, there was naturally no gas available.
But there was a large stove in the kitchen. The large iron pot on the shelf could be used to boil water.
Some of the firewood piled up here in the past could still be used. After Boss Luo made a fire, he began to boil water.
The firewood made a crackling sound as it burned in the fire … At this moment, outside the small kitchen window, a shadow quietly floated over.
A pale and stiff face stared at him motionlessly.
