Chapter 2 Chapter 2: The Haunted Su Family Bathhouse

When he woke up the next day, Yang Chang was nowhere to be seen. He slept pretty well last night. Yang Chang's sleeping posture was very good, he didn't move when he lay down, and his breathing was as soft as a child's. I flipped through the pillow to find the watch on the bed, and looked at it, it was ten o'clock.Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he found something else under the pillow. I reached out to pick it up, and it was Yang Chang who carried the obsidian bracelet for warding off evil.I picked it up and played with the sunlight outside the window, the circled rainbow eyes shone with a mysterious luster.

"Are you awake?" Yang Chang pushed open the door and came in with a cheerful smile. I nodded: "Why did you put the bracelet under my pillow?" Yang Chang sat down by the bed and held my hand: "This obsidian bracelet is passed down from my grandma. It has been consecrated. Wear it, it can protect you." "Do you really think this old house is haunted?" I smiled, and returned the bracelet to him disapprovingly, "Since it was left to you by your grandma, you should put it away carefully, it is also a souvenir. And this bracelet It's too big for me to wear, so I don't want it."

Yang Chang rubbed my hair: "Why are you so heartless? Well, I will put on the bracelet again later and make it smaller. No matter what, before we go back to the city, you wear it for me honestly." Let me feel at ease." I shrugged noncommittally, got out of bed, and went to the closet mirror to comb my hair. Yang Chang looked out the window, his eyes were heavy and he started to be dazed. I looked at him in the mirror and asked casually, "When did you get up this morning? What did you do?" He turned around: "About eight o'clock, my little uncle knocked on the door, didn't you hear?"

I shook my head: "What is little uncle doing here?" He stuck out his tongue: "For some reason, he knew that Suni and I were studying the evocation of vines. He called Suni and me over and gave a serious lesson, saying that if grandpa knew about it, we would be scolded." Bloody sprinkler, tell us not to do such boring things in the future." I laughed: "Little uncle taught you the right thing, you are just too playful." But Yang Chang didn't admit it: "Where is it? I'm just curious. Things in your house are becoming more and more strange. There are vines used to summon souls on the top of the kitchen, and your own bathhouse does not allow your own people to take a bath. Everyone There was a strange smell in my uncle's room, and when I went downstairs to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, someone knocked on the door, but when I opened the door, there was no one."

I felt a "thump" in my heart, and turned around with my eyes wide open: "What did you say? What happened to the toilet?" Yang Chang knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and covered his mouth in frustration: "Oh, I was thinking not to say it, why did I say it?" I sat next to him and stared at him: "Did you go downstairs to the bathroom in the middle of the night last night? Someone knocked on the door? Are you sure you heard right? What time was that?" Yang Chang thought for a while: "About two or three o'clock in the middle of the night. Strange to say, I always sleep until dawn, but last night I woke up repeatedly, and I couldn't fall asleep again for a long time when I opened my eyes."

It's really strange, in fact, Yang Chang and I are just the opposite. When we sleep at night, we always wake up when there is any movement.But last night I slept surprisingly soundly. I didn't know that Yang Chang got up to go to the toilet. I didn't even know that Yang Chang was called out when my uncle knocked on the door in the morning. Why on earth did Yang Chang and I have a 180-degree change in our habits? My eyes fell on the obsidian bracelet in Yang Chang's hand. "Yang Chang, when did you put this bracelet under my pillow?" "What happened when you just fell asleep?" Yang Chang asked inexplicably.

I immediately put the bracelet in Yang Chang's hand on his right wrist: "Remember, you are not allowed to take this bracelet off again." Yang Chang looked at the bracelet, then at me: "You mean... because of this bracelet..." I interrupted him: "I don't know if this bracelet can really ward off evil spirits, but it should have a calming effect. You're used to wearing it, and you can't sleep well at night without it, so you should wear it well." Yang Chang shook his head: "Since it is so useful, it should be worn by you. I am a man..."

"Stop it." I waved my hand, "You know my personality, I won't wear it if I say so." I stubbornly looked at Yang Chang for a long time, and Yang Chang lowered his head. I reached out and lifted his chin: "Also, we will go to the toilet when we get up in the middle of the night, you know?" Yang Chang's delicate face looked charming in my hands, and he laughed. "It's not that serious, is it? I slept in a daze last night, maybe I misheard the knock on the door..." "in spite of." "Then what should I do if I poop? Don't you have a cleanliness freak, don't you think it smells bad?"

Yang Chang was in the mood to joke with me. I was still sullen: "Do you think you're the only one who can poop? I can too. Anyway, we'll go to the bathroom together at night, so it's agreed." Yang Chang stopped smiling and looked at me blankly. Suddenly, he leaned down and put his lips on mine. With a quick kiss, he hugged me tightly. I put my head on his shoulder and hugged his waist tightly. Will there ever be a couple like us?Talking about toilets and pooping and wanting to kiss and cuddle. Maybe when a couple reaches this state, they can get married. I quietly raised the corners of my lips and smiled.

There are two completely different worlds in the Sujia Building during the day. The guests on the first floor came in and out, and the aunt and uncle were helping in the bath. On the second floor, I heard the noise of the water downstairs, but my eyes were extremely lonely. Su Ni went to school, Su Yun hid in the room and could not come out.In the past few days, grandpa went out at dawn, and he could only see him when he was having dinner. Yang Chang and I walked around the town a few times, and he took me by bicycle.The people in the town were alienated and indifferent. When they knew that I was the granddaughter of the old man of the Su family, they lost interest in me, and they would not say hello to each other on the road.

But even so, Yang Chang and I still found several interesting places. These places are all in the East District - Qingshui Cinema, Wangshuitan and Lansao Restaurant. Qingshui Cinema is a venue about the size of two classrooms. I don’t know who is running it. Every day, some classic old movies are rolled out.From nine o'clock in the morning to twelve o'clock in the evening, there were very few guests in each show. Yang Chang and I went to two shows, one was "Roman Holiday" and the other was the American detective film "Suspicious Shadow".The total number of guests in those two games was less than ten. Wangshuitan is a quiet natural beach beside Qingshui River, although the current Qingshui River has lost its former splendor.Standing in the middle of the river, the water only reaches my knees. Strictly speaking, it is no longer a river, but it is still a good place to enjoy the sunrise and sunset and relieve depression. The reason why I specifically mentioned Lan Sao's Restaurant is not because its dishes are more delicious than other restaurants, nor because the decoration is particularly stylish, but because of a proprietress whose personality is completely different from that of the residents of Qingshui Town. This woman named Sister Lan is carefree, beautiful and cheerful. She and Yang Chang almost hit it off. I like to order a few side dishes with Yang Chang here, two glasses of sake, and listen to him chatting with Mrs. Lan.This feeling is completely different from eating at Su's house, there are no complicated rules and etiquette, and you don't have to be careful, so Yang Chang and I basically have lunch here. Now that they are getting used to each other, Mrs. Lan talked about her own experiences. She is not a pure Qingshui person, her hometown is in a more remote and barren place.When he was fourteen or fifteen years old, he was abducted by traffickers to Qingshui Town and sold to a strong and indifferent man.The man married her as his wife, and beat and kicked her at every turn.She couldn't bear the torture and ran away several times, but was caught every time, and then she was beaten more cruelly. She thought that this would be the end of her life, and even made plans to commit suicide. That night her husband went to a friend's house for a drink. She got up in the middle of the night and went to the yard, moved a stool and tied a rope to the tree, and thought it through. At this time, I can hear the noise outside the house, which is more lively than the Chinese New Year. She opened the door and saw the flames covering the sky in the distance. She stopped someone to ask, and the person told her that the Haixiang Hotel by the woods caught fire, and the fire spread into the woods. Sister Lan immediately went home and worshiped the Bodhisattva. Her man's friend's house was near the hotel. She knelt for days and nights without eating or drinking.Finally, her man did not come back. She stood up and laughed wildly at the sky, and the neighbors thought she was crazy. She wasn't crazy, she got her husband's inheritance and opened a small restaurant. She said to herself, this life was picked up and bestowed by the Bodhisattva, she must be happy, good days are coming. When Mrs. Lan said this, she took a sip of wine, with tears in her eyes, then she grinned and showed her white teeth, and smiled like a child. Coming out of Mrs. Lan's shop, Yang Chang and I walked around the former Haixiang Hotel.This place is already in ruins, and a brick fence separates it from the outside world. We took a few peeks curiously to see that it was getting late, and then we set off back to the bathing place. It has been almost a week since I came to the bathing place, and my daily life is boring, but I am also free and easy. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to my little uncle about the changes in the Su family over the past few years. But I don't know if he is really busy or hiding from me. He hasn't even been alone with me these days. The weekend baths are busier than usual. Both Yang Chang and I felt like two idlers, so Yang Chang volunteered to help in the kitchen. As soon as I was bored, I somehow remembered the dirt on the windows the day I first came to Su's house, so I planned to do a big cleaning. I rolled up my sleeves to catch a basin of water, took a rag into the room, and suddenly found that the windows of the room were bright and clean, spotless. I was a little puzzled, and went back to the corridor to look at the room next door that I only moved in for half a day and then moved out again. Seeing the sun hanging high, I couldn't help but become more courageous, so I simply walked over and opened the door. The two small sofas had been set up as they were, so I went straight to the window and opened the curtains. Sure enough, the dust that filled the windows was not my hallucination.I opened the window, and the yellow sand was swept in instantly. I wiped it quickly, letting the cold wind make my face hurt. I have a certain cleanliness, so I can't see that the room is not clean. "Girl..." I was diligently scrubbing an old dark brown stain on the window.Strangely enough, whether it's detergent or soap, the harder you rub it, the clearer it becomes. A hoarse call came from outside the door: "Girl, be careful..." "Oh, I know." I agreed.The Su family will call me "girl", and only my little uncle.I turned my head and looked, and there was a crooked image printed on the door panel outside the door. The figure was indeed the same as my little uncle, but that person seemed to be deliberately hiding behind the wall, and I couldn't see him clearly at all. "Is that you, little uncle?" I became a little confused, and I poked my head to look, "Come in, I just want to chat with you." But there was no movement at all outside the door, only the looming shadow cast weird lines on the door panel. My heart jumped a few times, I jumped off the window sill and walked out the door. Just two steps away, there was a loud noise behind him. I turned around in shock and found that the plastic basin on the windowsill had disappeared.I rushed up and looked down. A potted flower fell, and the plastic pot fell to the concrete floor downstairs, and it was already torn apart. I instinctively looked up and saw that two of the iron fences on the roof were broken, and the potted flower was just dropped from above. I was so scared that I backed away again and again, and when my mind cleared up a bit, I turned around and saw the shadow on the door panel flashing away. I hurried to the corridor, but it was a deep and quiet place, with no one in sight. "Little uncle!" I called towards the east. no respond. I must find him, find him now. I rushed over and knocked on the doors one by one. Next door is Su Yun's room. I took a few shots, and she called out in panic, "Who? What's the matter?" I didn't want to say much, and when I saw that the door was unlocked, I pushed it open. At this moment, Su Yun had already rushed to the door, and was furious to see me break in. "What are you doing, cousin?" I looked past her, and immediately took a step back in horror. I saw at least four dolls about my height! Wouldn't she be scared if she put so many dolls in the room? Then it dawned on me that Su Ni had said that Su Yun liked to cut clothes, and it was very possible that those dolls were her models. I calmed down and said, "I'm sorry, I'm looking for my little uncle." Su Yun straightened his neck and yelled at me: "You want my little uncle to go to the bathing place, what are you doing in my room?" She turned around and slammed the door shut. I froze at the door, never dreaming that a girl with Su Yun's character would be so angry. But how can I manage so much.Immediately ran over and knocked on Suni's door. Suni hadn't come back from school yet, and the door was locked tightly. I turned my head and looked forward, only my uncle's room was left. My heart beat faster, and I swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, but I still dared not push the door open. I put my ear against the door, hesitating whether to go in, but at this moment, there happened to be a slight groan coming from inside the door. "Uncle, are you okay?" I asked through the door, but the voice inside stopped. I took courage and finally opened the door. I have only been in the uncle's room once, and just like last time, there is a strange and dull atmosphere around it. The dark red velvet curtains were tightly drawn, and the room was dark and dry. The uncle was lying on the bed like last time, with a thick quilt covering his body. I was a little angry, how did my aunt take care of my uncle?Being locked up in a darkened room like this every day, where you can't even see the sun, let alone a cancer patient, even a healthy person can't stand it. I was angry when I faintly heard a slight voice coming from the bedside. The sound was very strange, like a nest of mice hiding in a hole and gnawing on something, making a "crack bang bang bang" sound from time to time, which gave me goosebumps all over my body. I stood far away and whispered: "Uncle, are you awake? What are you doing?" There was no answer, but the voice became more rapid. I waited for a while, and carefully took two steps towards the bed. At this moment, the voice on the bedside stopped, and a voice as hoarse as a two-hundred-year-old lady came over. "water……" It was so quiet in the room that even though it was whispering, I could still hear it clearly. "Uncle, do you want to drink water?" "I want to drink water, I want to drink water..." "Okay, I'll pour it for you right away." There was a teacup on the uncle's bedside table, and there was a water tank next to it. I hurried over and squatted down on the bedside. After pouring the water and testing the temperature with my hand, I walked over with the teacup in hand. The water didn't look fresh, it seemed to have been there for a few days, and there was a cloudy layer of residue on the surface. I felt very uncomfortable, and wanted to tell my uncle to wait, so I went to pour another glass. But when he raised his eyes, what he saw was a pair of dark brown eyes with faint redness, like the eyes of white mice used for dissection in medical colleges, shining with fright. The eldest uncle hugged the quilt tightly and wrapped his body, only showing his frightening eyes. I shivered, the water in the cup splashed on my hands, and it hurt like being roasted on a fire. Suddenly, the uncle stretched out a green and haggard hand and snatched the cup away, and immediately turned his back on me and started drinking like a thirsty lunatic. When he turned over, the quilt was pulled over by him, exposing a large piece of bone that had been gnawed out of shape.Where he just lay down, there were several live cockroaches crawling impressively. I covered my mouth, felt gastric juices rolling, turned around and ran out. When I ran to the door, I bumped into someone, it was my aunt.She and I looked at each other with strangeness and suspicion in our eyes. Without stopping a step, I ran back to the room, locked the door, and threw up. Yang Chang took care of me throughout the night. I started to have a high fever as soon as I came out of my uncle's room. I lay down for several hours, sweated after taking the medicine, and finally felt better. Yang Chang came over with a basin of hot water and helped me wash up on the bed. I obediently let him fiddle with it.He wiped my face, washed my feet, and changed the basin of water. I smiled and said, "Where else do you want to wipe for me?" He blushed slightly, sat down beside me, and wiped my right hand silently. I watched his behavior a little strangely.He wiped it carefully at first, but the more he wiped, the more focused he became, just like I was cleaning the glass in the next room in the afternoon, as if there was a piece of dirt on my hand that couldn't be wiped off.I endured it until the skin on my hand was red and hot, and finally withdrew my hand with a displeased expression. "What are you doing? It hurts me." He didn't speak, just stared at my hand. I felt something was wrong, I pushed his shoulder violently, and he looked at me as if he had just woken up from a dream: "What's wrong?" "I'm right to ask you what's wrong. You had a strange expression just now. Why did you wipe my hands so hard?" "How can I have strength?" He wanted to argue, but when he lowered his head, he saw the red mark on my hand.He widened his eyes, "How could this be? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!" He took my hand and put it in his heart with regret. I couldn't bear it, so I quickly comforted him: "It's okay, don't be so nervous." He looked at me, hesitant to speak. I encouraged him by saying, "Is there something you want to say to me?" Yang Chang nodded. "Then tell me." He took a breath: "Chen Xue, you went to uncle's room this afternoon, what did you touch?" I was stunned for a moment: "I didn't touch anything, why do you ask that?" His eyes looked at my right hand again: "Didn't I tell you that I smelled a strange smell in my uncle's room that day, and now your hand also has that smell." I was taken aback, and hurriedly lowered my head and sniffed the back of my hand. Sure enough, there was a faint rotten smell, like rotten meat that had been moldy for several months. I have suffered from chronic sinusitis since I was a child, and I can't smell it unless I smell it carefully.But when I thought of my uncle's room, I felt sick again. I took the towel from Yang Chang's hand and wiped the back of my hand like crazy. Yang Chang quickly pulled me away, coaxed and persuaded me, and it took me a long time to calm down. "I can now be sure that my aunt is abusing my uncle." I gasped angrily. Yang Chang's expression was also very serious: "I think so too, but we still don't act rashly, it's best to discuss it with someone who knows the inside story." "Look for little uncle!" I called out immediately. Because I was too stimulated in the uncle's room, I actually forgot to find the little uncle before. I described to Yang Chang what happened in the afternoon when I was cleaning the windows in the next room: my uncle told me to be careful, so I avoided the flower pots that fell from the roof. Yang Chang held my hand tightly, and looked at me strangely after listening. I pulled him and wanted to jump out of bed to find my little uncle, but Yang Chang pulled me back. "The person you mentioned is not my little uncle." I was shocked and couldn't recover for a long time. "How is it possible? Grandpa is not at home during the day, and the image I saw was obviously an elderly man. Who else could there be besides little uncle?" "Anyway, it can't be little uncle." Yang Chang said with certainty, "He's been with me all afternoon, and we're preparing dinner in the kitchen." I froze all of a sudden. For a long time, Yang Chang and I looked at each other in bewilderment, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe. "Yang Chang, I'm a little scared." I murmured helplessly. Yang Chang hugged me, his body trembling slightly. "It's okay, it's too late now, shall we talk to my little uncle tomorrow?" I nodded. The dark night is always frightening, we all want to fall asleep quickly and see the sun tomorrow as soon as possible. But the more I think about it, the harder it seems to fall asleep. I lay on the bed, thinking of my mother in a trance. In the winter when I was ten years old, she personally ended her life in this Su family mansion. It was a very strange year. Since the beginning of the year, people have been dying in the bathing place. First, it was my uncle’s wife and his newborn child. Then there was the fire in the East District. Grandma tragically left this world in that fire. , Not long after, it was my mother's turn again. That night was the same as usual, but the taciturn mother suddenly became cheerful and pulled me to talk a lot. What she said, I have long forgotten.But I was very happy that night, my mother kept smiling at me, gentle and kind. Early the next morning, her body was found by bath workers.Sitting on the roof, she cut the artery in her neck with a sharp dagger in her hand, her eyes were wide open, and turned upside down, leaving only the whites of her eyes. Her death was terrible.When I ran up to the rooftop, I only took one look, and the little uncle covered my eyes, but the scene was enough to be imprinted in my mind for a lifetime. After my mother died, I was sent out of Qingshui Town. This was the only thing my mother explained in her suicide note—she begged my grandfather to send me to the city.After I went to the city, I went to boarding school and stayed until I graduated from college.For so many years, except for my little uncle who visited me a few times in the first year, the others seem to have forgotten my existence, and have not even written me a letter. If it weren't for the fact that I was going to marry Yang Chang now, and if Yang Chang hadn't said repeatedly that he wanted to see my relatives, maybe I would never come back here in my life. My mind began to wander between half-dream and half-awake. But at this time, someone beside him turned over and sat up. I thought Yang Chang wanted to go to the bathroom, so I suppressed my sleepiness and opened my eyes. In the dark, a man sat on the edge of the bed with his back to me. I want to move, but I can't.The man stood up slowly and walked towards the door step by step. I secretly blamed him: Didn't I say that when I go to the bathroom at night, I go together? I became more and more awake, and sat up suddenly, when the man had opened the door. "Yang Chang, wait for me." I opened my mouth and shouted, but he walked out without closing the door. I was just about to get out of bed to chase, but there was a hazy voice from beside the pillow. "Chen Xue, what are you doing?" The sound terrified me, and I screamed and rolled under the bed. The desk lamp was turned on, and Yang Chang sat on the bed, looking at me in panic. "What's the matter? What's the matter, what's the matter?" "You...you..." I pointed at him, speechless for a long time. Yang Chang was still sleeping on the bed, and I suddenly remembered that Yang Chang had indeed been sleeping on my right side all the time.Then who got up from my left side and walked out of the room just now? I looked towards the door, which was still open. Yang Chang noticed something, jumped out of bed and ran to the door, looking into the corridor. Apparently he didn't find anything, and after taking a breath, he was about to close the door. At this moment, there was a slight noise from the east side of the corridor. I supported the wall and stood up, looking at Yang Chang.Yang Chang held my hand: "Want to go and see?" I nod. "Okay, let's go together." He held my hand tightly, and we walked towards the source of the sound step by step, trying not to make any noise. We recognized the noise as coming from the kitchen. The kitchen door was ajar, Yang Chang and I looked at each other, carefully looking in through the crack of the door. Su Yun! I almost cried out, but Yang Chang hurriedly covered my mouth. There was no light in the house.With the moonlight outside the window, we stared at Su Yun in snow-white pajamas. Her face was immersed in the darkness, which was indescribably weird. Su Yun stood by the counter in the kitchen, with a lot of vines in front of her, her eyes were dazed and dull, and she was lifeless.She pulled out the vines one by one, kneaded them in her hands, and her hands were covered with green liquid. At this time, Yang Chang and I have already noticed that she is sleepwalking. Yang Chang lowered his voice and said to me, "What is she doing?" "have no idea." Was that person in our room just now Su Yun? But out of the corner of my eye, I saw vines all over the kitchen.Kneading one by one like Su Yun, the movement is slow, to get such a large piece, it will definitely not be completed in a while, she must have been standing here for a long time. What's more, before going to bed, for the sake of safety, I locked the door on purpose and checked it many times. Who is that person, or is he really a "person"? Yang Chang and I peeped outside the door for a long time, Su Yun kept repeating the action of destroying the vines, one by one. It wasn't until dawn that she found a broom to clean. She put all the "remains" of the cane into black plastic bags and dragged them to her room. We knew she was sleepwalking, so we didn't deliberately hide and made a way for her to pass. She turned a blind eye to us and locked the door when she got back to her room. Yang Chang and I looked at each other blankly and smiled wryly. Back in the room, we immediately lay down and went to sleep. We have all noticed that something is really wrong with this bathhouse.In some corner, there must be a secret hidden. I don't know what Yang Chang thinks, anyway, I'm not interested in the secrets of the bathing place, and now I just hope that I can finish the New Year safely, and then leave here with Yang Chang. But what I didn't expect was that the secret was already inseparable from me in the dark. That day, I dreamed about my mother. In the dream, I returned to the night before my mother died.She pulled me to sit on the small sofa, hugged me tightly, and kept talking. I tried very hard to hear what she was saying. But when I opened my eyes, I forgot what she said again. There is only one sentence, which keeps echoing in my ears—— "Chen Xue, leave the bathing place and never come back." Is it really a mistake for me to come back this time? After falling asleep for less than two hours, I woke up. I stretched out my hand to touch the edge of the bed, and my mind was full of the black shadow that sat up from my side yesterday. I must be wrong, right?Recently, there are too many things on my mind, and I am not fully prepared for marriage and life changes. My heart is always in a state of panic, and the atmosphere in the bathing place is always so weird, so it is not surprising that I have hallucinations. Yang Chang is still sleeping. I quietly got up and went to the corridor. My aunt happened to pass by and smiled at me. I nodded perfunctorily, looked at her back, and then looked at my uncle's room. By the way, I should at least get some uncle drinking water to test, maybe it can prove something. "Uncle?" I ran over and knocked on the door, listening carefully, but there was no movement. "Uncle, it's me, Chen Xue, I'm coming in." I turned the doorknob and, to my surprise, the door locked. In the first two visits, I entered and exited the free room, but it was locked immediately after I entered by mistake. Is this not a cover-up, but what is it? "What are you doing?" A thin voice came from behind. Startled, I turned around quickly.Su Yun stood at the door of her room holding a palm-sized doll and looked at me timidly. "I want to see my uncle." I calmed down and answered her. "Don't bother my father anymore, you have already frightened him by breaking in yesterday." Su Yun said in a low voice with his face pulled. "I scared him?" "Do you know how rude you were yesterday? After seeing my dad, you turned around and ran away, as if you vomited, right? Have you considered my dad's mood? Do you think he is a monster?" Faced with such words, I have no room to refute. I was really shocked by the weird scene yesterday.Thinking about it now, it's really a loss of composure. "I lost my temper yesterday..." I said as I walked towards Su Yun. But then I discovered a very inexplicable thing - Su Yun took a step back as if feeling uncomfortable. Am I overthinking?Thinking about it carefully, when we first met a few days ago, she ran away as soon as she saw me.During the black shadow incident on the sofa, she looked at me as if she had seen a ghost, and hid in Yang Chang's arms. In order to prove my guess, I quickened my pace and walked towards her.When I walked up to her, she had withdrawn her whole body into the room. "You are afraid of me." Not a question, but an affirmation. "I...I didn't." She was still struggling, her face was already pale. "Why are you afraid of me?" "No, I said no..." But her performance was even more flustered. She slammed the door shut, and I instinctively reached out to block it, trying to prevent her from avoiding my question. Suddenly, a child in a white sportswear ran quickly from behind Su Yun. I took a step back in fright, and the door closed in front of me anyway. I seem to hear Su Yun panting loudly at the door. I leaned against the corridor, and I couldn't calm down for a long time. What did I just see?Why is there a child in Su Yun's room?In such a cold weather, who is this little boy in a short-sleeved tracksuit with pale skin that is almost purple? Why did I feel so cold when I first saw him? When I regained my senses, I banged myself on the head. Chen Xue, you have been too nervous recently, even if there is a child in Su Yun's room, what's so strange about it? Maybe the neighbor's children came to play with Su Yun.Although Su Yun's personality is very introverted, don't many introverted people like to be friends with children and animals? Maybe Su Yun is like this. Thinking of this, I immediately walked over and knocked on the door. "Su Yun, can you open the door, I want to talk to you." There was no movement at the door for a long time, and when I was about to knock again, Su Yun's voice came out: "I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while, you can go." sleep?There is a child in her room, leave the child alone and sleep by herself? No matter how you think about it, it feels wrong. "Su Yun, who is that child in your room?" I asked tentatively. "What did you... say?" Su Yun's voice was surprisingly stagnant. "When you closed the door just now, I saw a little boy running around in your room, wearing a white cartoon sportswear. Who is he? Is it the neighbor's kid? Wouldn't he catch a cold if he dressed like that?" Again there was silence. Finally, footsteps sounded again in the room, Su Yun opened the door, his face was as pale as a dead man. She handed a piece of paper in front of me, didn't say a word, just stared at me. I took it over to look at it, and it was the sportswear that the little boy had just worn on the screen.Why did she draw it specially for me? "Is it... this one?" Su Yun's eyes were very strange. "yes." As soon as I finished speaking, Su Yun yelled and fell to the ground, and the door was knocked open by her. Looking around, there was no one in the room. I rushed in and looked around: under the bed, in the closet... as long as there was a place to hide someone, I didn't let go. But no, nothing!

I remember this taste, the water that my uncle drank had this taste. My mouth was close to his, and I opened it involuntarily.The water in the child's mouth seemed to be alive, and it rushed into my mouth... Suddenly someone pulled me, and the child's face suddenly moved away from me. I fell on the floor of the room and saw Yang Chang's panicked eyes.
