Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Will you come tonight

My name is Tang Xixi, I am 18 years old and a freshman in the College of Foreign Languages. I have long straight hair and a fairly standard figure. I like to eat snacks, follow American TV shows, and go shopping to buy all kinds of small things.But despite this, people who have met me will be surprised, because I look like I am in my 20s. Indeed, I have a face that does not match my age. Every time I walk with other roommates, outsiders will always think that I am their teacher. The most hateful thing is those girls, whose voices are getting louder and louder. Call me Teacher Tang. I majored in Japanese at school, but I didn’t learn it very well, and I don’t have lofty ideals, such as being a senior translator, etc. I never thought about it.So my life is always very lazy, so peaceful that there are no ripples.

But two days ago, my peaceful college life was disrupted.That is, from then on, I began to fall into a deep and dark mystery pool, from which I could not escape. It was Tuesday, a bit cloudy, and the clouds in the sky were as cloudy as ink mixed with water. Qin Su and I were the only ones left in the dormitory.The 617 dormitory I lived in was originally a six-person room, but this year the school’s enrollment situation is not ideal, and many majors are not fully enrolled, so our dormitory actually only accommodates four people. It was past 10 o'clock in the morning after washing up, I applied a mask on my face, and just sat down to update Weibo, when Qin Su's charging phone rang on the table.I shook Qin Su awake, unplugged the charger, and handed her the phone.

Qin Su opened her eyes and answered the phone in a daze. Before I sat down on the seat again, Qin Su got out of the bed and shouted at me: "Teacher Tang, can you help me go downstairs to get the package?" "Go by yourself." It's so cold, I'm not going to go down. "Oh, good sister! The courier is waiting impatiently. It will be too late for me to go down after I get dressed!" Qin Su bowed to me repeatedly, wrapped in a quilt. "No exception." I got up and put on my down jacket, took Qin Su's ID, and went downstairs. The courier probably had something urgent to do, so he asked me to sign the form without much checking, then pointed to a big woven bag in the corner and said, "Go and get your things."

My head grew big in no time. I walked over and weighed it, and the things in the bag weighed at least a few dozen catties.I touched it with my hand, and it was soft, like a quilt, and then I touched it, but it was hard, and I couldn't guess what it was. I originally planned to call Qin Su and ask her to come down and lift it up together, but just now I hurried down and forgot to bring my mobile phone. I looked around at the people passing by, but I didn't know anyone, so I simply dragged it by myself. A big woven bag and walked upstairs. After finally moving the things back to the dormitory, I started to complain about Qin Sulai as soon as I entered the door: "Susu, you are too scheming! Why didn't you tell me about such a heavy thing earlier, and let me carry it up alone, old lady If your kidneys are exhausted, can you afford to pay for it?"

Qin Su was still sleeping, but after listening to my words, she crawled out of the bed, rubbed her eyes, looked at the big bag in front of me, and said, "Teacher Tang, what are you talking about?" "What, what, your package!" Qin Su scratched her messy hair, frowned and said to me: "You are mistaken, I bought a pair of shoes online the day before yesterday, but I don't need such a big package! Tsk tsk, the postage alone costs more than Shoes are more expensive." I'm not in the mood to talk to her: "Okay, get out of bed quickly and see what's inside."

After such a toss, Qin Su didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he simply got dressed and got out of bed.She squatted down in front of the huge package, as if studying a bomb, and then pointed to a line of writing on the woven bag in amazement and said, "It really has my name written on it!" She found a small knife enthusiastically, and cut the rope at the mouth of the beam in two or three strokes. There was a bright red in our sight, and the unique luster of the finest silk made people couldn't help admiring it.This is a silk quilt with a smooth texture and beautiful embroidery.Two mandarin ducks are embroidered with colorful threads on the surface of the quilt, swimming in a blue clear water.The workmanship is so careful that even the water splashed by the mandarin ducks is not sloppy.

It must be very comfortable to sleep in such a silk quilt, I thought. But there is something very uncomfortable about such a quilt.The two mandarin ducks embroidered on it are all black. If it weren't for their vivid shapes and movements, people might mistake them for two ominous crows. "This, this is definitely not mine!" Qin Su's expression was a little dumbfounded. I didn't speak, I stood up with the quilt in my hands, and put it on the chair beside me. "Wow, there are so many things!" Qin Su pointed to the inside of the woven bag. I squatted down again, and saw that there was a pan, a bowl, and a pair of chopsticks...Qin Su had sharp eyes and quick hands, and picked up something. It turned out to be a brand new red down jacket with the tag still on.

"Whose one belongs to?" Qin Su was even more puzzled, subconsciously reached into the pocket of the down jacket, and actually took out something from it. It was a note: "Qin Su, please keep it for me." The inscription is "Zhang Yali". "Who is she?" I asked. Qin Su's complexion became extremely ugly at some point, and she moved away from the package in an instant.Her eyes were wide open, and she seemed to be thinking about something in her mind. I was intimidated by her reaction. Qin Su then said: "She is Wei Min's mother." I was a little confused, so I simply asked, "Who is Wei Min?"

"Wei Min is our roommate." "Are you kidding me, why don't I know you?" I said. "That's all before you came to school." It turned out to be like this. In fact, I only came to report to the school about a month ago. During the summer vacation, I fell ill and delayed my school time, so I didn't know about some things. "Why do you have to keep it? Where is her daughter Wei Min? Can you contact her?" I suddenly became chatty. Qin Su shook her head, and with difficulty forced out a word from her throat. "I can't get in touch, Wei Min is dead."

"What did you say?" I widened my eyes, and couldn't believe Qin Su's words just now. "You said that Wei Min died in this dormitory?" Qin Su said sadly, "I didn't scare you, what I said was true." real! I looked around: "Which one is her bed? Don't tell me that the one I live in now is hers." "No way." Qin Su replied lightly, pointing to bed No. 2, "Wei Min lived here back then." I suddenly understood why when I first came here, I wanted to choose bed No. 2, but was dragged to the current bed by other people in the dormitory.

"How did she die? Don't tell me it's a murder." I thought to myself that this is absolutely impossible, otherwise they wouldn't be living here so calmly. Sure enough, Qin Su said, "It's suicide." "Since the military training, she went to the infirmary every day to prescribe two sleeping pills, never stopped. Then that day, she swallowed all these pills at once. When we came back, we found that she was out of breath." Qin The sadness in Su's eyes became more obvious. "Why did Wei Min commit suicide? There must be a reason." I said. "She is a very easy-going girl on the surface. I have never seen her speak loudly, but later when her mother, Zhang Yali, came to the school to take care of her funeral, she revealed to us that Wei Min suffered from severe depression. .” "Depression." I chewed the term in my mind. It's not a good thing. "Who says it's not? I heard that many people will suffer from this disease, but the situation is different." The girl Qin Su seems to have heard what I was saying. I looked at the things on the ground again, and inexplicably felt an ominous atmosphere emanating from them: "Why did Zhang Yali send these things?" "I don't know." Qin Su said, "I can't throw it away for now, let's put it in the dormitory first." As I was speaking, there was a sound of high-heeled boots hitting the ground behind me. As soon as I turned around, I saw Yu Xinai pushed open the dormitory door and was looking at us curiously.Qin Su and I were busy putting the silk quilt into the woven bag carefully, when Yu Xinai bumped into it, we didn't know how to explain it for a while. "Here?" Yu Xinai opened her mouth and said. Qin Su and I were taken aback, and quickly arrested her for interrogation: "From your tone, do you know the origin of this bag?" "Of course!" Yu Xin'ai felt a little bit offended by our fuss. "But as I said, you are not allowed to be angry." Yu Xinai rolled her eyes mischievously. "Hurry up!" Qin Su and I agreed. "Actually, I just found out!" Yu Xinai picked up the things in the woven bag, "Isn't there a foreign language salon tonight? It was sent to our dormitory with a big bag of things, but after all Wei Min was no longer here, she was worried that we would not agree or had other ideas, so she came here and wrote Susu's address, and then called me to explain the details. " After hearing these words, my heart brightened a lot. "This Auntie Zhang is really good. It's good to be straightforward. You have to make it so mysterious. After all, Wei Min was our roommate, and we would refuse to receive a courier? But..." Qin Su thought of something like Yes, looking at Yu Xin'ai, "What does she want to do by sending so many things?" "That's why I asked you not to be angry." Yu Xin'ai suddenly pointed to the No. 2 bed where Wei Min slept, "Let's put these things on there." "What?" I was shocked. "No mistake?" Qin Su also pouted. "It's absolutely true." Yu Xin'ai emphasized, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Aunt Zhang. I came back in a hurry just for this matter." "My dear, what is the purpose of spreading these things on the bed?" I couldn't help asking. "What's the date today?" Yu Xinai asked me suddenly. "November 6." "That's right, it's the first day of October in the lunar calendar, Ghost Festival!" Yu Xin'ai suddenly stretched out her hands towards me, scaring me to sit down on the ground. "Ah, maybe..." Qin Su's face turned pale, "Isn't Wei Min's ghost coming back tonight?" A picture immediately appeared in my mind. In the dark and quiet night, everyone in the dormitory fell asleep. Some people even snored slightly. A vague shadow drifted into the dormitory, and then floated to 2 In front of the No. 1 bed, he lifted the quilt and lay down in it. I think my complexion is no better than Qin Su's. "Oh, do you believe in such a superstitious thing?" Yu Xinai said again, "According to the customs in their hometown, people who died within half a year will return to the place where they lived for the last time on the night when the gate of hell is opened." Go and have a look." Then Yu Xinai said pitifully: "Auntie Zhang is so pitiful, we should be considerate of her, right?" She was right, but when I thought about putting that quilt on bed No. 2, I felt awkward.I turned my head to look at Qin Su, she seemed to be struggling too.But she is a kind girl, and she discussed with me: "Teacher Tang, let's help her fulfill her wish?" "I have no objection." I said something insincere. "Great!" Yu Xinai clapped her hands, "Then let's clean up quickly!" The three of them unfolded the silk bed embroidered with a pair of black mandarin ducks together, and found that it was not so big, and it was more than enough for two people to sleep in it. "My dear, why don't you lie down at night and wait for Wei Min to come back?" Qin Su joked maliciously. "Bah bah! Be careful I'll hit you!" Yu Xinai looked at me again after finishing speaking, "Teacher Tang, what are you thinking?" I touched the smooth quilt, but I kept muttering in my heart, will she come tonight? "Why don't you discuss such a big matter with me?" Huang Qi threw the bag on his bed and looked at everyone with a straight face.There is a scent of incense on her body, which is faint, but floats into my nose inadvertently. "We plan to tell you when you come back. Besides, didn't Wei Min have the best relationship with you before his death?" Yu Xinai said. "We thought you would definitely agree." Qin Su also said. "Of course." Huang Qi couldn't hold back, and laughed, "Even if you don't agree, I will agree." "Qiqi, you damn girl, you acted too much, I was so nervous just now!" I went forward and pinched her face. "Hey, Teacher Tang, you already know about Wei Min?" Huang Qi asked me. I nod. Huang Qi sat down on the chair, raised his head and said: "After entering the university, the first friend I met was Wei Min, and the relationship between the two was not bad. Her personality is a bit melancholy, and she can easily fall into pessimism. Emotions. But even so, I don't think she's going to commit suicide." "But, didn't you tell the police back then that Wei Min's mental condition was very bad, and he had to go to the school infirmary to prescribe two sleeping pills every day?" Qin Su would frown whenever he encountered a problem. "Of course, what I told the police is the truth!" Huang Qi said as she changed her slippers, she added, "During that time, I accompanied her to the infirmary every day. I remember very clearly that before she died, a total of 43 days, that is, 86 sleeping pills. The actual amount of sleeping pills detected by the police in her body exceeded 140 sleeping pills!" "God, so many!" I covered my mouth in surprise. "There is another thing, I think the conclusion of the police is also a bit inappropriate, that is her suicide note." Huang Qi said. "Suicide note? She wrote a suicide note?" I asked. "Didn't the police say that those words were in Wei Min's handwriting?" Yu Xinai said. "It's Wei Min's." Huang Qi bit his lip, "She left a piece of paper before she died, and wrote a few words on it 'I don't want to live anymore'. Maybe you don't know, Wei Min often writes similar words Habit, several times I have seen her scribble some world-weary remarks on paper. In short, Wei Min's death seems to me to be full of doubts." Huang Qi's next words were a little sad. She said: "But the police are all about evidence, and my words can't attract their attention. Later, the matter was left alone, and Wei Min's death was classified as a suicide case." I hurriedly comforted her: "Qiqi, don't be sad, Wei Min is watching from the sky, I believe she will never forget your friendship for her." "Oh, I'd rather not know her than to lose her life in this room." Huang Qi wiped away tears. Yu Xin'ai and Qin Su also surrounded her to persuade her, and everyone felt a little heavy. "But it's okay," Huang Qiqiang pretended to smile, "tonight is Ghost Festival. When I came back from outside, I saw many people squatting at the street corner burning paper. Do you know what they are doing? That is Call back the souls of the dead and guide the way home." I opened my mouth wide and said to her: "You must not be..." At the same time, the smell of incense on her body became stronger. "Yes, I found a nearby stall selling yellow paper, bought a stack, and burned it to Wei Min at the intersection of our foreign language institute." Huang Qi said. "Grandma, you're really good." Yu Xinai clicked her lips. "What is this? What's even more funny is the Police Academy diagonally across from us. Their school is at a crossroads. As a result, a lot of citizens burning paper gathered at the gate of the school, and they couldn't be driven away. How do you manage this kind of thing?" Huang Qi is a lover For the girl who loves to laugh, the previous sadness was quickly left behind. That night, the lights in our dormitory were turned off early.Everyone was lying in the dark, unable to see each other clearly, but they still didn't want to go to bed too early.After chatting a lot, the topic turned back to the things Wei Min's mother Zhang Yali sent. "The pair of mandarin ducks are so beautifully embroidered, but it's a pity they're black." Qin Su said. "You don't know about that," Huang Qi said, "Wei Min is from the south. There is a famous silk in their hometown called blood silk. They use silkworms from good farms to weave them into primary-color silk, and then soak them in red pulp. Dyeing, the dyed silk is extremely soft and shiny from the side. Such fine silk is usually used to make quilts or clothes for women. Wei Min told me all this. She also said that a person dies Finally, to commemorate the family, they will make a good blood silk quilt on the bed, and then embroider two black mandarin ducks, hoping that the dead will have someone to accompany them in the underworld." I don't know what else they said later, and I just fell asleep like this. That night, I had a strange dream. In the dark night, everyone slept soundly. Only I woke up suddenly for unknown reasons.I saw a woman circling back and forth on the not spacious ground of the dormitory.Then the woman stopped, ran to Qin Su's bed, lifted her quilt, her long hair fell loose, and hung on Qin Su's neck.After a while, the woman moved to Yu Xin'ai's bed again, and reached out to touch her back. Maybe Yu Xin'ai felt the coolness and wrapped the quilt tightly.Then the woman moved to Huang Qi's bed again, this time she didn't do anything, she sat down by the bed silently, at first I thought she just lowered her head, but then I thought something was wrong, the woman was crying softly! When I woke up the next day, I felt a headache. After I regained consciousness a little bit, I kept thinking, is the woman in the dream Wei Min? Everyone is still sleeping soundly, and the temperature in early winter in the Northeast is very low.Especially when waking up in the morning, the body is often very warm, but the little face exposed outside is cold. I sat up and looked at my phone, it was 7:40 in the morning.My eyes stopped on the No. 2 bed, and the thick blood silk quilt was covering it securely. In addition, Wei Min's red down jacket was also hung on the bedside on a hanger, and her shoes were neatly placed on the floor. Side by side with Huang Qi's shoes.Wei Min's No. 2 bed and Huang Qi's No. 4 bed are bunk beds. When my gaze returned to the bed again, I lost all sleepiness in an instant.The arms I supported were trembling uncontrollably, and I must have had an incredible look on my face. A corner of the bloody silk quilt was lifted. Just at the head part, it was carefully opened, although there was only a little change, I still noticed it.Because I turned off the lights before going to bed last night, I took a special look at bed No. 2. At that time, the blood silk quilt was laid out neatly, especially around the head, which was neatly folded. But now it was pulled away, as if someone had got in.The more I looked at it, the more frightened I became, the quilt must have been moved!Not only the head part of the quilt, but the whole quilt has a slight bulge. Looking at the situation, it seems that someone has slept. Even so, I didn't want to say this discovery lightly, I was afraid that if I did, things would turn upside down, and I was not at all prepared for the undercurrent. I get up as usual and start to shower.But my eyes still glance at the position of bed No. 2 from time to time, I hope it is my hallucination.When I sat down and started wearing colored contact lenses, I was still uneasy because of the amazing discovery just now. Suddenly, a hand was placed on my shoulder. I screamed, the contact lens case was knocked over, and the solution spilled out. "What are you doing?" I turned my head angrily, looking at Yu Xin'ai behind me. Yu Xin'ai, who was wearing pajamas, didn't care about my reaction at all, her face was also covered with a cloud.My scream woke up the others too. Yu Xinai said, "Did you move that bloody silk quilt?" My heart sank, and I hurriedly asked her, "You also found out?" Yu Xinai leaned back slightly, as if taking a breath, only heard her say: "I'm afraid." At this time, Huang Qi, who was still on the bed, shouted out of control: "My hair!" I hurried over and saw Huang Qi was pinching a handful of hair in her hand. She was shaking the hair in her hand while touching herself desperately. s hair. "Qiqi, calm down, this is not your hair." I said. Indeed, Huang Qi's hair is not so long, and the color is not the same. Huang Qi dyed her hair a few months ago, and her hair is yellowish, but the lock of hair in her hand is obviously black and a little dry. Huang Qi suddenly snatched this lock of hair from my hand and said, "This is Wei Min's." "What?" I suspect I heard wrong. "She's here, she really came last night!" Huang Qi blushed because of excitement. Yu Xinai and I looked at each other, at this time Qin Su climbed down from the upper bunk opposite, stared at the hair in Huang Qi's hand, and then she exclaimed: "It's so similar!" "Do you still remember? Wei Min has a bit of natural curly hair, and her hair is slightly curly like this... Did she really come here last night?" Qin Su's face changed after he finished speaking, and he looked at us as if asking for help, "I Scared!" Don't say she is afraid, I believe everyone feels fear in their hearts.Although I don’t do anything wrong, I’m not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, I don’t even know Wei Min, and her death has nothing to do with me, but even so, the thought of a dead soul returning to its hometown on the night of Ghost Festival still feels gloomy .I remembered the dream last night again, could it be a kind of omen? "Should we put away this bed of blood silk?" Qin Su suggested, "Otherwise, if this continues, I think something will really happen." "No!" Huang Qi was the first to deny it. She held the lock of hair tightly and said, "What are you afraid of? We didn't do anything to offend Wei Min, unless we had ghosts in our hearts." "Huang Qi, you..." Qin Su also began to get angry, "Who do you think has ghosts in his heart? Isn't it because you have a better relationship with Wei Min? The better the relationship, the easier it is to have a conflict of interest. Hmph, now I'm getting more and more The more I feel that Wei Min's death is unclear, maybe someone with ulterior motives really killed him!" It was the first time I saw Qin Su's eloquence, and I didn't expect to be so merciless.I hurriedly took her hand and motioned her to say a few words less. "Stop arguing, the blood silk quilt and the things sent by Aunt Zhang cannot be burned yet. She said on the phone yesterday that they will be kept in our dormitory for a month." Yu Xinai said suddenly. one month!Oh my God.I secretly groaned in my heart, when will such a day end! Now two of the four people do not agree to remove the blood silk quilt, all Qin Su's weight is on me, she looks at me with complicated eyes, as if I am the life-saving straw for her rise and fall. I avoided that look.I don't want to quarrel with anyone, and besides, I really can't refuse the request of a bereaved woman. Qin Su got bored and angrily climbed into bed to continue sleeping. The dormitory became quite quiet, and finally Yu Xinai took that lock of hair away.I heard her say, "I'll figure out a way." I don't know what her so-called solution means, but I know that she must have made some kind of decision in her heart. This decision filled me with anticipation. I spend the whole day outside. At around six o'clock in the evening, Qin Su called me and said that he wanted to have dinner together. I waited for her at the restaurant and ordered a spicy fried lamb liver and a small bowl of rice.Qin Su arrived in a while, ordered a set meal, and sat down opposite me. Qin Su eats quickly, crisply like her. We didn't talk much, we ate in silence.Occasionally Qin Su told a joke, but for some reason, I couldn't find a joke, which made the atmosphere of the meal even more deserted. The dinner that could be done in half an hour, we ate for an hour in a daze, watching the crowds around us decrease, and finally it was almost closing time for the restaurant, so I said to Qin Su: "Go back?" Qin Su used chopsticks to poke the remaining rice grains in the bowl, her eyelids drooping all the time.I knew she must not let go of the unhappiness in the morning, so I said, "Don't be unhappy." Qin Su threw the chopsticks away, looked up at me, and said in a very strange tone: "Xixi, I suspect Wei Min was killed by her." "Who?" I was confused. "Huang Qi." "Can't you?" I said. "If you suspect that I just said that after arguing with her in the morning, then you are very wrong, I am not so narrow-minded." Qin Su curled her hair hanging on her chest, "Wei Min died before she died. Had a fight with Huang Qi!" I shivered suddenly. "The weather was very good that day. I was going to dry the quilt on the roof. When I walked to the top of the stairs, I heard Huang Qi yelling at Wei Min! Oh, Huang Qi's appearance is really fierce. Wei Min stood Opposite her, she didn't say a word, just like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered." "Did you hear what they were saying?" "The typhoon wind was a bit strong, so I couldn't hear clearly. I only heard what Huang Qi said intermittently, 'How can you do this! Do you think you can get rid of this?'" Qin Su stopped here, and she used more A small but clear voice said, "I heard the next sentence clearly. Huang Qi said to Wei Min, 'I will never let you go!'" I can't believe Huang Qi would say such a domineering and mean thing.I forced myself to calm down and asked Qin Su: "Did you not report this situation to the police?" Qin Su shook her head: "The key is that Huang Qi didn't have time to commit the crime. In fact, including me, Huang Qi and Yu Xin'ai, none of the three had time to commit the crime, because when Wei Min's accident happened, the three of us were together." "I heard that it was past 11 o'clock at night when Wei Min's body was found. Why did you come back so late?" "That day happened to be Huang Qi's boyfriend's birthday, and we played until very late." Qin Su recalled. "Isn't Wei Min Huang Qi's best friend? Why isn't Wei Min called on this occasion? Is there really something going on between them?" I said to myself. "At that time, Yu Xin'ai asked Huang Qi why he didn't call Wei Min. Huang Qi's reaction was a bit weird at that time, so he prevaricated with a haha." The big clock in the restaurant rang, and it was already 8 o'clock in the evening. The two of us walked slowly towards the dormitory building. When I got back to the dormitory, I saw a girl standing at the door.I said "I'm sorry, I went wrong", and I was about to turn around, but Qin Su grabbed me. "This is 617, where are you going?" Qin Su said to me. Confused, I glanced up at the house number on the door frame, it was 617, that's right.I glanced over the strange girl's shoulder and glanced inside the room. The bloody silk quilt was still on bed No. 2 unharmed. I hurriedly withdrew my gaze and looked up and down at the girl in front of me.She is not tall, she should be more than 1.5 meters, but she is very handsome, about the same age as us, and she wears a somewhat inferior down jacket.Seeing that Qin Su and I were looking at her, the girl lowered her eyebrows in embarrassment. I looked at her and forgot to speak for a while, at this moment Yu Xinai came over from the balcony to say hello: "Teacher Tang and Susu are back?" Qin Su was also sulking because of Yu's beloved decision this morning, and snorted coldly.I turned sideways and walked into the dormitory. Only then did the girl realize that she was blocking our way and hurriedly moved out of the way. "Who is this?" I asked. Yu Xinai smiled mysteriously, grabbed the girl's shoulder and said, "Her name is Ah Meng, she is my friend." "Hi Meng, my name is Tang Xixi." I pointed behind me and said, "Her name is Qin Su." Ah Meng smiled at me, the smile was very sweet, she should be a very quiet girl. After a while, Huang Qi came back from the shower. She became more interested in Ah Meng than we were, and asked Yu Xinai to ask him questions.After a while, I heard Huang Qi say to Yu Xinai in surprise: "What you said is true?" Yu Xinai called the rest of us to the corridor outside the dormitory. Although Qin Su felt resentful, she would never miss this group meeting. Yu Xinai's face was a little pale under the reflection of the incandescent lamp on the ceiling: "Ameng will live in our dormitory tonight." Everyone seemed to have a premonition that she had something more important to say, and no one expressed their opinion for a while. "She's sleeping in bed No. 2." We stared at Yu Xin'ai's face, she was definitely not joking anymore, she was serious! "Hehe, I have no objection." Qin Su said in an incomprehensible tone, "But can that Ah Meng be willing?" "That's right, it's not a big problem to stay in the dormitory. I think it's better to sleep in another bed. Isn't there another bed that is empty?" I suggested. Yu Xinai glanced at us like a child, and said, "Ameng slept in bed No. 2 voluntarily." We were all dumbfounded now, we didn't know what kind of medicine Yu Xinai sold in the gourd. Yu Xinai glanced at the empty door of the dormitory, then turned to us and said, "Ameng is not an ordinary person, she is an expert I specially invited!" "An expert? I guess she's less than 1.6 meters tall." Qin Su began to joke again. Yu Xinai didn't answer him, and said to herself: "When I was a volunteer in an apartment for the elderly, I met an old lady. She is over 80 years old, and her spirit and body are very good. She likes me very much. What delicious food do you have?" They will all be kept for me. One time the old man was sick, and I went to see her. She was lying on the bed dying, with only the strength left to breathe. The strange thing is that the doctor gave her a whole body examination, but there was no abnormality at all. At this time, the old grandma Suddenly called my name, and I walked over, she grabbed my hand and whispered to me, 'Go and call my youngest son, and tell me that my old problem has happened again'. Then the old grandma gave I gave me a phone number, and I didn’t ask her any more, so I had to dial the number above. I called the old lady’s youngest son, and a girl came to the apartment for the elderly that afternoon. The old lady introduced us, saying Her name is Ah Meng, and she is her youngest granddaughter. Ah Meng is very quiet, and she always walks with her head down. When she was out, I quietly asked the grandmother, "Where is your youngest son? Why did you send your granddaughter here?" The old grandma smiled without saying a word, and only said something incomprehensible to me, "Ameng can cure my disease." , something that surprised me happened, the old grandma recovered! And she was refreshed, and returned to her previous state. I found it incredible, thinking that Ah Meng must have brought some panacea!" Having said that, Yu Xin'ai stopped suddenly, everyone's curiosity was firmly grasped by her, and they all asked her to explain the cause and effect thoroughly. "So I went to ask the old lady, but the old lady said, 'I really didn't take any medicine. This is all thanks to my granddaughter Ah Meng.' The old lady told me that people will always get sick, and some diseases are called yang diseases. These are the illnesses that can be cured by doctors prescribing medicine and surgery, and some of them are Yin diseases. Yin diseases are those strange diseases that we can’t figure out in our eyes. Unclean things. This kind of Yin disease is not difficult to encounter, but most of us refuse to believe it. The cause of Yin disease, to put it bluntly, is the mutual interference between the magnetic field of the living and the magnetic field left by the dead. The old lady said that she She has a very good relationship with her husband, but her husband died early, and in recent decades she will have symptoms of Yin disease. She said that it was her husband who urged her to die. I listened for a long time, but I didn’t hear the point, so Ask the grandma, what can Ah Meng do? The grandma said that Ah Meng only needs to sleep with her in the same room for a few nights, and her messy symptoms will disappear. To be honest, I don’t really believe it, but the grandma is indeed cured , and not only this time, when similar situations occurred before, it was also tried and tested.” Yu Xinai talked a lot more, and finally she said: "The situation in our dormitory last night was very abnormal, so I ran to invite Ameng here. According to the grandmother's words, Ameng can sleep at night. Swallow something from another world." We were all dumbfounded, and looked at Yu Xinai foolishly. "So, let's wait and see tonight, even if it is groundless or has no effect, we can go to get rid of everyone's heart problems." Yu Xinai said. Her words were approved by everyone, and even Qin Su didn't say anything more. Back in the dormitory, everyone naturally looked at Ah Meng with admiration, and Huang Qi even took out snacks to please Ah Meng.I also observed this girl secretly, and suddenly found that she hasn't said a word since I met her...Could it be?I whispered to Yu Xin'ai: "Is Ah Meng dumb?" "Yeah, she can't speak." Yu Xinai didn't intend to hide it, or this kind of defect cannot deceive others. "It's a pity, she looks pretty." I was filled with emotion. Looking at the thick night outside the window, I am a little dazed, will something happen on the second night after the Ghost Festival?Wei Min, whom I never had the chance to meet, will you come tonight? In addition to the legendary abilities, another thing about Ah Meng that amazes us is her appetite. For supper before going to bed, she ate two buckets of Master Kong, four tea eggs, two ham sausages, a bag of high-fiber vegetable cakes and a bag of yogurt.When Ah Meng ate the last bite of noodles, we all stared blankly.Ah Meng realized that her eating was not elegant, so she smiled embarrassedly. The dormitory management of our college has always been relatively lax. Since entering school, I have never encountered a student union to check the ward, let alone a teacher who came to check the room at night.After washing up, Ah Meng got into the blood silk quilt of bed No. 2 like a little monkey.I pretended to be reading a novel, but my eyes glanced over there from time to time. Qin Su, who was on the opposite bed, and Huang Qi, who lived in the lower bunk of bed No. 2, were also curiously observing Ah Meng under the blanket as I was. 余心爱挨个来到我们床前叮嘱：“不管夜里发生什么，都不要大惊小怪。”我发现她的眼神也是闪烁不定，想必也对阿萌的异能没有十分的把握。最后她来到门边宣布，“关灯了。” “啪”的一声，宿舍里陷入了黑暗。 下一秒我就开始害怕了，空气是黑色的，而且黏稠，我睁大眼睛也无济于事。我把头缩进了被子，身子团起来。也不知过了多久，慢慢地困意袭来，我终于睡着了。 我又做了一个梦，梦里特别冷，风特别大。我光着脚踩在地面上，漫天的大雾，可视范围一米都不到。我漫无目的地走着，前面传来了人的声音。仔细听，是两个人的争吵声。其中一个在大声吼着：“你怎么可以这样，你以为这样就可以解脱了吗？”然后我听见了尖叫声。我循着声音过去，被一个东西绊倒在地上，我看见我的双手沾满鲜血。黄琦横躺在地上，她的胸口还在往外喷溅着鲜血。这时候有人从后面碰碰我，我回头，看见一个女人，她似笑非笑地看着我，手里举着一把刀，她说：“我绝不会放过你的！” 我醒了，发现自己的头还缩在被窝里，感觉呼吸困难，我伸手在被窝里找到手机，翻开，正好是夜里两点三十三分。 这时候，我隐隐听到被子外面有动静。我一点一点挪动着身子，生怕惊扰了外面的世界。耳朵露出来后，我听到了更加清晰的声音，似乎是人发出的类似咀嚼下咽的声音，那个声音好像是移动的。我缓缓睁开眼，静止了半分钟，渐渐适应了黑暗，于是我侧过头去，望向宿舍过道。 窗帘被大风刮开，不知哪来的光亮透过阳台的玻璃门投进了宿舍。借着那一点点微弱的光亮，我看见一个人站在地面上。她低着头，脖子最大限度地向前探着，如一条觅食的蛇。 我看清了，她就是阿萌！ 阿萌的脚朝着门边迈了一步，与此同时她又发出了咀嚼下咽的声音，好像有东西在她喉头翻滚。这时候，阿萌的头猛地向前一探，她的嘴巴大大张开，两腮鼓起，做了一个吞食的动作！ 我吓得大气都不敢出一下，浑身却在止不住地发抖，多想扯开嗓子大声号叫，但是一想起余心爱临睡前的叮嘱，我放弃了。 又过了一会儿，那种奇怪的声音消失了。我半眯着眼睛，看见阿萌朝2号床走去，她没了刚才的迟缓，行动敏捷得像只猴子，手脚轻盈地上了床，连一点声音都没有发出。她钻进了血绸被里，很快躺平，动也不动，但我肯定她没有睡着。纵观阿萌刚才的表现，似乎也没有对我们不利的地方，不过一想起她大口吞咽的动作，就觉得心里不舒服。我慢慢把头又缩回了被窝里，祈求白天快些来临。 又不知过了多久，我正迷迷糊糊的时候，被一阵嘈杂的声音吵醒了。天已经亮了大半，我看见阿萌直直地坐在床上，身子正一上一下地起伏。动静实在太大了，其他几个女生也被惊醒了。 我们都被阿萌的表情惊住了，一时间谁都没有说话。余心爱反应快些，问道：“阿萌你怎么了？” 阿萌丝毫不理会我们，随着身子的起伏，直翻白眼，头也朝后面仰去。 我实在担心她出事，就从被窝里爬出来，准备下床，谁知阿萌的头往前一探，像是发射弹药一般吐出来一大堆秽物，在地板上喷溅得到处都是。 几个女生都“哎呀哎呀”地炸开了锅。 这时候秦素指着秽物中一块黑色的东西说：“天，你们看呀！” 我一边下床一边扭头看，差点晕了过去。 那是一团黑黑的头发。 几个人先是分工，将宿舍清洁干净，黄琦又用自己的空气清新剂把每个角落狂喷了一遍，又使劲嗅了嗅屋里的空气，确认没有异味了，才肯停下来。 这时候我们才有精力来照顾阿萌，余心爱递给她一杯热水。阿萌似乎显得不好意思，两手捧着杯子，头更低了。 “她昨晚来了。”余心爱言简意赅地说。 “谁？”秦素说完立刻又恍然大悟，“你是说魏敏？” 余心爱脸色凝重地看了我们一眼，点头说：“是的，阿萌刚才吐出头发来了。” “心爱，能跟我们说说这到底怎么回事吗？”我问。 “我也说不太清楚，昨晚其实我没睡死，半夜里看见阿萌突然下了床，然后举止怪异地在宿舍里走来走去，嘴巴还不停地一张一合，像是——” “像是吃东西？”黄琦突然说，“昨晚我也看见了……” “我也看见了。”秦素小声附和。 原来我们都没睡着！ “阿萌这叫吃阴，反正我听她奶奶是这么说的，就是把我们所谓不干净的脏东西吞下去，待到第二天天一亮再吐出来，这样持续下去，慢慢屋子里就清净了！”余心爱说。 “那些头发是怎么回事？”秦素问道。 “我也纳闷啊，反正这种事我们最好不要多问，人家阿萌是在帮我们，我们可要对人家好点！”余心爱又说。 大家都觉得很对，纷纷点头。 回宿舍的时候，我把黄琦叫住了，两人一前一后来到了天台上。 “琦琦，你跟魏敏是最好的朋友吧？” “嗯，怎么突然问这个了？”黄琦疑惑地看着我。 “魏敏死前跟你吵过架？” 黄琦有点生气了，反问我：“谁告诉你的？” 我笑：“我只问你有还是没有？” 两人僵持了一会儿，黄琦点了点头：“我们的确吵架了，换成任何一个人都会很介意的。” “哦？你们之间到底怎么了？” 黄琦叹口气：“我们俩的关系一直很好，问题出在魏敏身上。我们一进入大学就认识了，很谈得来，魏敏的性格虽有些沉闷腼腆，但我觉得并没什么不好的。但是大概一个月后，魏敏的情绪就开始大变，变得疑神疑鬼，优柔寡断。我当时还笑话她，是不是越南语学迷瞪了。后来她的精神状况越来越差，还时不时就一个人掉眼泪，她告诉我她想自杀！我震惊过后当然很生气，就把她骂了一通，我说你怎么可以这样，反正只要有我在，是不会放过你的。她哭着说她有很重要的事情要告诉我，结果不管我怎么问，她还是没说。后来没过几天，她就自杀了。” “重要的事情？”我暗自揣度，“会不会魏敏就是因为这件事情而性格大变？” “或许吧。”黄琦的神情黯淡下去，“她死的那天正好我男朋友过生日，本来打算叫上她的，但一想到KTV那种嘈杂的环境对她只能是种折磨，我就没有叫她，谁知……” 也许是我多疑了，我又跟黄琦在天台上站了一会儿，这才返身回宿舍。 阿萌正在跟秦素看电影，虽然她的世界没有语言，但是阿萌仍不时盯着电影的画面偷笑。她怎么看都是个再普通不过的女孩，却拥有骇人的异能。 我不禁走过去，站在她身后，阿萌似乎感觉到什么，回头看了一眼，当她发现是我，很礼貌地点了点头。于是我趁机跟她比画手势，结果很遗憾，阿萌不会手语。于是我又找来本子，在上面写：“头发怎么会跑到你肚子里面去呢？” 谁知阿萌看后，还是摇头。 “你在干什么？”一个尖锐的声音响起，我回头看，余心爱正瞪着我。她的眼神凌厉得有些令人害怕。 余心爱看了看我写的东西，随手将那张纸撕了下来。然后又换了一副温和的表情说：“汤老师啊，不是不让你多问的吗？阿萌肯帮我们已经很不错了，真要是把她问烦了或者问了些不该问的，她一生气离开了，我们怎么办？” 我木然地听着，余心爱又靠近些，贴在我耳边说：“咱们宿舍的脏东西还没有除干净，大家都谨慎些吧。” 不知道为什么，我觉得她的话像是一种威胁。我呆呆地看着余心爱搂着阿萌的肩膀，两人一起走出了宿舍。 这是阿萌入住617宿舍的第二个夜晚。 大家尽量不去想前一晚的离奇事件，因此都越发觉得阿萌很是憨厚可爱。她经常笑，偶尔想问题的时候，长长的睫毛会牵动着些许的忧伤，她更像是一个谜。 我也不再刨根问底，尽管心里还有很多疑惑。我发现阿萌跟余心爱的关系特别好，余心爱到哪她总会跟到哪，好像一不留神余心爱就会消失一样，我能感到她对余心爱的那种依赖。 临睡前，阿萌照旧吃了很多东西，她的吃相实在不太雅观，可以说是狼吞虎咽，而且速度很快。黄琦原本是打算帮她拆开食品包装的，没想到一把被阿萌伸手摁住了，她抬眼看着黄琦，眼神里闪过一丝异样的贪婪和恼怒。黄琦被吓了一跳，惊得都说不出话来。余心爱赶忙过来解围，笑着说：“我来我来！”然后替阿萌撕开了一包饼干。 我却无论如何笑不出来，阿萌刚才的反应让人害怕，那种眼神，甚至不像是人类的，更像是某种出没在深山老林里的恶兽。 Who is she?我脑子里突然冒出这样的疑问。 这个意外的小插曲，让宿舍原本温馨的气氛再次跌入冰窟。我几次想找个有趣的话题大家一起胡侃，结果话到嘴边自己先觉得无趣，此刻，再好笑的话题，都只会让气氛更尴尬。 又快到了熄灯的时间，大家一番忙碌，陆续上了自己的床铺。阿萌也不知何时已经爬上了2号床。她半截身子埋进血绸被里，膝盖蜷起，正好顶在一对黑色鸳鸯上面，而她的上半身则挺得笔直，眼神有意无意在每个人脸上做短暂停留，她也在观察我们！阿萌的目光转到我这边时，我装着往脸上涂晚霜，我知道我是害怕跟她对视，怕从她的眼神里发现什么惊天的秘密。 熄灯时间到，秦素说了声'晚安'后摁下开关，我们的世界重新归于漆黑和静寂。回想这几天来发生的事情，只觉得不可思议，陌生的快递包裹，不知哪里来的头发，陌生的女孩阿萌，几乎在同一时间汇入了这间617宿舍。 我照旧将自己埋进被子里，缩成小小一团，找到一个自认为最安全的姿势，我甚至还一度觉得戴上防暴头盔才是最安全的。就在这种胡思乱想中，我只觉得眼皮开始打架，思想越来越沉重…… 我居然睡着了，而且是一觉直到天亮。 醒来的时候，外面天色大亮，手机显示已经快8点了。阳台上已经开始有人进进出出，我坐起身，看见对床的秦素也刚好坐起来，我们两个面无表情地对视着。 阿萌已经起床了，并且将床铺收拾得干干净净，她穿戴整齐地坐在椅子上，似乎在等还在洗手间忙碌的余心爱。只有黄琦还在沉睡，背对着我们。 下床时，我小声问秦素：“昨晚上你睡着了？” “撑到半夜两点多，实在撑不住就睡过去了。”秦素打了个哈欠。 “那她又下床了？”我看了眼正低头发呆的阿萌。 “没有，她那床上一直没动静。”秦素也开始穿衣服。 不一会儿，余心爱就收拾完毕，跟我们说了再见后，带着阿萌出去了。 看着两人离去的背影，我心里的沉重似乎减轻了不少。这时候一直在睡觉的黄琦“噌”地返身下床，并且跑到了门边，观望了一会儿，她居然把门从里面锁死了！ 我和秦素看着她，都很是纳闷。黄琦的呼吸很是急促，但是她的眼神却透出渴望，渴望被我们理解。 “昨晚，我听到阿萌说话了！” “她应该说的是梦话，我就在她下铺，绝对是她的声音，不会错的！” 黄琦都快要哭了，我和秦素也早已是惊出了一身冷汗。 “阿萌会说话？那么余心爱为什么说她是个哑巴？”秦素说。 “不知道，我总觉得那个阿萌怪怪的，似乎哪里不对劲。”黄琦哆哆嗦嗦地对我说，“喜喜，这个宿舍除了你，都是主修越南语的，昨晚上我听见阿萌说的就是越南语！” 我傻眼了，好一会儿才明白黄琦话里的意思：“你是说，阿萌是越南人？” “对啊，这有可能就是余心爱骗我们说阿萌是个哑巴的原因，她或许不想我们知道阿萌是越南人！”秦素帮忙分析。 “对了，听懂阿萌都说了些什么吗？”我问。 “好像是说，'不要抓我，我要离开那里'之类的话，因为声音很小，我当时几乎没有反应过来是她在说话，而且说的还是越南语！”黄琦回道。 “这个余心爱到底在搞什么？老是带些奇奇怪怪的人来我们宿舍。”秦素抱怨。 我愣了一下，旋即问她：“她之前也带其他人来我们宿舍住过，我怎么没有印象？” “上回带来一个女孩子，说是她乡下的表妹，看上去又黑又瘦，土了吧唧跟余心爱一点都不像。对了，那时候你还没入学呢，要不是这个阿萌，我就把这件事给忘了。啊！想起来了，她那个表妹也是个哑巴！”秦素忽然说道。 “等等，余心爱的表妹来我们宿舍住，可是发生在魏敏死亡之前？”我急出了一头冷汗。 秦素和黄琦一起点头。 “那么魏敏学的是不是越南语？”我更加着急了。 “对啊，怎么突然问这个了？”秦素不解。 我无心等她把话说完，穿上上体育课才穿的跑鞋，打开宿舍门就冲了出去。我飞奔下楼梯，跑出了宿舍楼，我要抓住余心爱！ 我让自己的心跳尽量平静，从门口的垃圾箱里翻出一个废弃的包装袋，掏出手机给余心爱打了个电话。 “你在哪里？”我问。 “快到学校门口了，今天我带阿萌出去玩。” “这里有你的一个快递。”我说。 “晚上回来再说吧。” “我已经给你送下来了。”我又说。 “好吧，那我们在学校门口等你。” 我随便找了几个废纸团塞进了包装袋里，然后朝学校门口赶去。 余心爱和阿萌站在路边，看见我走来，朝我挥挥手。 我走过去：“你的快递。” 余心爱还没反应过来，我已经勒住她的脖子，将她反身压在了地上，死死地，带着一种恨意。 三天后，我和秦素在本市收容所见到了阿萌，她跟我讲述了自己被人从越南贩卖到我国东北的经历。 余心爱进入大学后，被一个贩卖人口的集团看上，因为她懂越南语，可以跟那些被拐卖来的越南女孩进行交流，从而安抚她们的情绪，余心爱自己也从中获取了不小的经济利益。 魏敏就是因为发现了余心爱的这个秘密，而被她设计谋杀了。实际上，魏敏每次从医务室买回的安眠药都会当天吃下，她死时胃里的大量安眠药，其实是余心爱另外准备的，她将那些安眠药冲成溶剂，又偷偷用黄琦的手机给魏敏发信息说那是抗抑郁的药物。随后，几个人赶回宿舍，发现了魏敏早已冰凉的尸体。余心爱趁乱将魏敏手机中的那条短信删除。 打击力度大的时候，余心爱也会把被拐卖的越南女孩带回宿舍，没有人会想到大学校园的宿舍竟成了窝藏拐卖人口的住所。魏敏的母亲寄来血绸被后，正赶上城市加大打拐力度，余心爱就设计了魏敏鬼魂重游故地的说法，将事先准备好的头发放在了黄琦的枕边。事后又扬言阿萌拥有异能，名正言顺地住进了617宿舍。阿萌那些怪异的举止，也全是受余心爱的指派。唯一有一点不是，那就是她的食量。阿萌的故乡十分贫瘠，经常会饿肚子，所以一旦有机会吃饱，就会竭尽所能地把东西全部吃光。 奇怪的是，阿萌竟然替余心爱求情。秦素简单地翻译给我听，大意是余心爱对她很好，还给她买衣服穿，请我们不要伤害她。更让人意外的是，阿萌居然不想被遣返回越南，她已经没有了亲人，她不想回到那片贫瘠的故土。 交流到最后，秦素一下愣了，我忙问她阿萌说了什么。秦素说：“阿萌觉得是我们害了她。” 我沉默了一会儿，要秦素告诉阿萌：“总有一天，你会明白我现在的心情。” 黄琦将魏敏母亲寄来的血绸被等物全部烧掉，然后她坐火车去了魏敏的家乡，她要陪魏敏的母亲多住几天，告诉她事情的真相。 从收容所出来，外面的气温依旧很低，却是难得的好天气。 “汤老师，我以后可以常去你们单位找你玩吗？”秦素问我。 “当然！”我笑。 “汤老师，你这身制服可真神气！”秦素也笑。 我叫汤喜喜，今年25岁，是个卧底校园的警察。
