Chapter 7 The Yin Child Chapter 9 The Portrait

At about noon the next day, Xiaoxia came to the door of Lu Yan's house again with a large bag of things in her arms.

Yesterday she accidentally hurt the little boy, and she felt guilty and wanted to make some compensation. She knew that Lu Yan would go home until three in the afternoon today, so she was going to play with the little boy and have lunch together.

Lu Yan once said that she would prepare the meal in advance when she was at work, and the little boy would take it to eat it by himself when he was hungry.

This made Xiaoxia feel sore. Xiaotong is too precocious. He is only five years old! At this age, many children are playful and refuse to eat seriously. Parents will try every means to coax their children to eat. Xiaotong not only cannot play with children of the same age, but also learn to take care of themselves.

When she thought of the situation of the little boy, Xiaoxia made up her mind to help them, mother and son!

She stepped into the dark and old three-story building. As soon as she entered the door, she felt a smoky storm. In the hot summer sun, she felt that this cool feeling was quite comfortable, but Xiao Xia always felt that the temperature difference inside and outside the building was too large, which made her skin on her arms feel goose bumps, and she couldn't help but chill.

Moreover, the corridor is very dark.

Last time she came with Wanli and the others, she thought it would be so dark at night. Today, in this sunny day, she realized that it was the same during the day. The windows at the entrance of the stairs and corners were small, and there were many debris piled up, blocking the light outside. The white walls were so gray and black that they could not see their true colors. Moreover, due to the few residents, the doors were closed, and the long corridor was silent, and there was an empty echo after walking a step, making people feel as if they were walking deep in the ground.

Scream--

The sound of the door opening was heard, which scared Xiaoxia. She just climbed to the second floor, so she unconsciously looked into the depths of the corridor, but she didn't see any door open. The end of the long corridor was vaguely unable to see clearly. She wanted to leave here quickly, but she didn't expect to make a mistake in her busy life. The thing she held in her hand fell to the ground, and the bag of fruit rolled everywhere.

She hurriedly squatted down to pick up one, two, three. When she picked up many bags of food and toys and started picking up fruits, she suddenly found that she had run to the middle of the corridor.

Crazy--

Another strange sound came, like shaking the iron chain that locked the door, as close as it was in my ear, so scared that Xiao Xia stood up suddenly.

The corridor was still empty. Two black doors in front of him were locked, and the iron chains on the door handle were not moved, but Xiao Xia felt a chill that suddenly hit her heart, feeling something in the door was spying on her!

She turned her head and ran away from picking up the fruits that were still scattered on the ground. But as soon as she ran to the corner of the stairs on the third floor, she felt something tripping on her feet, causing her to stagger and several bags of things fell from her hand!

Subconsciously, she went to pick it up again. As she bent over, she saw a pair of eyes staring at her among the debris in the corner of the wall!

Is there anything hidden there?!

In fear, she suddenly felt a sense of courage and reached out to pull the pile of debris away. She saw that someone had painted a smiling girl's avatar on the gray and black wall. There was a pair of black eyes without whites and pupils on her irregular melon-shaped face!

It turned out to be a painting! She let out a long sigh and warned herself not to scare herself, and it would be better to find the child as soon as possible!

She hugged the thing tightly, calmed down, and turned to the third floor. However, behind her, the 'squeak' and 'squeak' sounds sounded again, and the regular ones were not close or far away, which made Xiao Xia feel that something had been following her, forcing her to run away!

Facing the door of Lu Yan's house, her cold sweat broke out! She suddenly realized that she had made a mistake. The little boy was so young and was still sitting in a wheelchair. She would definitely not open the door for anyone. She should have gone to Lu Yan to ask for the key before coming. But she ran over and ran away. Now that she can't enter the room, do you still have to walk out?

Scream--

A harsh sound came from behind, and Xiao Xia jumped in shock. When she turned around, she saw the little boy sitting in a wheelchair with one of her small hands holding the door handle.

"Little - little boy!" Xiao Xia shouted in surprise.

"I heard someone outside." The little boy smiled shyly, "Hello, auntie, please come in!"

Xiao Xia Ru received a general amnesty and rushed in, threw the things on the table, and ran to tie the door tightly.

"Auntie, don't lock the door." The little boy pulled the corner of Xiao Xia's clothes with his delicate little hands, "This way I can't open the door for others."

"Is anyone here to see you?" Xiao Xia asked in confusion.

"I don't know." The little boy said innocently, "I always hear people running in the corridor, calling me by my name, and asking me to go out to play, but when I open the door, there is no one anymore. Maybe it's hide and seek! But my mother doesn't let me go out, I have to be obedient!"

Xiao Xia's hair stood up!

Is someone knocking on the door of Lu Yan's house? Why can't the children see it? Could it be that there is something strange about this building?

"Auntie! Auntie!" The little boy pulled the corner of Xiao Xia's clothes again, interrupting her guess.

"Little boy, listen well." Xiao Xia squatted down and said seriously, "There are many bad people in this world. No matter what you hear, don't open the door. In addition to aunts, of course mothers, do you remember?"

"But-I want to go out and have fun!"

"No, but, little boy should be a good and obedient child." Xiao Xia hurriedly held the little boy's thin shoulders, "If the little boy is lonely, at most, the aunt promises you that she will come to play with you in the future. Have you heard of it?"

"real?"

"real!"

"Okay, the little boy is obedient!" The little boy nodded happily.

Seeing that Xiaoxia was so well-behaved, she reached out to stroke his little face, but in an instant, she saw that Xiaochi's eyes changed again, becoming gloomy and excited, as if a beast had caught a prey! This scared her to take a step back and almost knocked over the table!

She shook her head and looked closely. The little boy's eyes changed, but she still looked so innocent and lovable! She must have been scared by the strange things just now and had hallucinations! Fortunately, she didn't make a fuss this time, otherwise she would feel even more guilty if she hurt the little boy.

"Auntie is fine, I'm just a little dizzy." Xiao Xia explained to the puzzled little boy, "Look at me, I've brought you a lot of delicious and fun things, I hope it's not broken. Come on, let's take a look."

Because I had the idea of ​​protecting the little boy, because I am now staying in the sunny room and not remembering those strange sounds again, although Xiao Xia was still a little uneasy, she could finally stabilize her emotions, cook a sumptuous meal for the little boy, and then accompanied the little boy to watch the cartoon for a long time.

"Now my mother is coming back soon, let's take a break?" Xiao Xia asked in her arms.

Lu Yan's family didn't even have a TV, so she brought a laptop. Seeing that the young boy who had always been very gentle was still unsatisfied, and shyly did not dare to object. Xiao Xia softened and opened a software, "In this way, we will turn into a magic trick and have to rest after finishing it, okay?"

When the boy heard that there was a game, he nodded happily.

It was a software that could depict the way people look like when they were old, and they could also change various clothes. Just enter the photos into the computer. A few days ago, Xiao Xia joked about taking the photos of Datong in a photo. Now, in order to make the children happy, she adjusted the photos of Datong, made a picture of him, put on a crown and made a beard.

"Is it fun?" Xiao Xia asked with her head down.

This time, the boy did not answer, but just approached the computer and looked at it very seriously.

His expression was too serious, not something a five-year-old should have, but because Xiao Xia hugged him in front of him, he didn't notice it at all, only his unexpected silence.

"What? Can't recognize it?"

"I know, it's Uncle Bao!" The little boy smiled, stretched out his index finger and pointed at the screen.

"Not bad, I'm innocent and smart."

"I will recognize whatever he becomes!" The little boy raised his head happily.

In the game, time passed quickly, and after Lu Yan returned home, Xiao Xia should go back. However, she did not dare to go downstairs alone, so she asked Lu Yan to send her. Strangely, nothing strange happened this time. This made Xiao Xia begin to suspect that what she saw and heard just now was just one of the various abnormal situations after the illness, and it might be that there was a hearing hallucination similar to tinnitus.

Standing at the entrance of the building, the sunlight exposed Xiaoxia to the sun. She watched Lu Yan go upstairs, then observed the surrounding environment, thinking that maybe she should change a house for the mother and son. Just as she watched, a figure suddenly broke into Xiaoxia's eyes.

It was a little girl, about five or six years old, wearing a very retro short-sleeved floral dress, with long hair, which blocked her entire face because she lowered her head. She sat alone in the old carport downstairs, playing with a few fruits in her hands.

For some reason, when Xiaoxia saw her, she suddenly felt that the sun was not that hot, at least for the little girl, and the fruits she was playing with seemed to have fallen on the second floor by herself! At this time, the little girl seemed to realize that someone was looking at her and slowly raised her head.

The face is melon-shaped, smiling, and a pair of black eyes are big and round. However, although these eyes are beautiful, they are different, without eye whites and pupils, like two black stones embedded on the blue-white face!

Play with me!

A sound was sharply transmitted to Xiaoxia's heart, which surprised her and ran back instinctively. Unexpectedly, a motorcycle happened to come behind her. Xiaoxia couldn't dodge for a moment and was hung to the ground.

The hot pain temporarily distracted Xiao Xia. When she came to her senses, she looked up and saw that the little girl was gone, with only a few fruits on the ground in the carport. She didn't care that her knees and palms were still bleeding, and she almost escaped from this place!

………………………………………

Wanli hasn't gotten off work yet, and there are only Ruan Zhan and Bao Datong in the bar.

"My Taishang Laojun, are you fighting with someone?" Bao Datong came over to support Xiaoxia, "both knees fell, oh, the palm was also scratched! Go to the hospital." He screamed in fuss, making Xiaoxia feel a little embarrassed.

"Skin trauma is gone, you will get better if you apply some potion. You scream as if I will hang up soon!" Xiao Xia handed the laptop on her shoulder to Bao Datong, and sat down next to the bar.

Ruan Zhan stood inside to sort out things, but he didn't even raise his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xiaoxia was a little disappointed.

Yesterday he almost kissed her. Although she fainted at that time, she still remembered it clearly afterwards. This made her quite confused. If he had feelings for her that surpassed her friends, it would be normal for him to kiss her. After all, they had been separated for a while. But when she learned that he had given the room to her and Bao Datong and lived in a haunted house in Wanli, she felt that he might not have that strong feelings for her.

Or, he couldn't help but regret it afterwards, so he moved away for fear of embarrassment!

This made her a little angry and felt insulted. If she didn't like her, she wouldn't like her. Could she avoid her? Could she still give in? Just like now, she is a wounded person at least, but he doesn't even raise his head, and he doesn't seem to care at all.

He doesn't love her! He ignores her!

A layer of water vapor surged in Xiaoxia's eyes, and Bao Datong was clumsyly using alcohol to disinfect her. The burning pain in the wound made her scream softly without covering up her tears.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Bao Datong quickly apologized, "I'm not used to taking care of girls."

With a 'smash', a cup fell to the ground not far away.

"I'll go clean up." Ruan Zhan still didn't look up and turned around and walked into the kitchen behind.

"You stupid, aren't you a double cultivation? You can't take care of women!" Xiaoxia took the opportunity to jump off the chair, "There is a medicine box in the bathroom, I can handle it myself." She said, and ran upstairs.

Bao Datong looked at the kitchen door, then looked at the stairs, hesitated for a while, and finally entered the kitchen. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ruan Zhan rushing his hand at the pool, and a trace of blood was taken away from his palm by clear water.

"What do you have to say? Why are you fighting with the cup? You crush the cup and cut your hands. It's too much to make a fortune!" He sighed softly.

Ruan Zhan said without looking back, "Will you be gentle?"

"I feel distressed? Then why don't you help her by yourself?" Bao Datong said, with a little provocative tone. "You two are so awkward. One is hesitant and dare not ask clearly. The other is obviously very fond of love, but he refuses to say it. Now I finally understand Wanli's difficulties. How difficult it is to get caught between you two."

"Did you run in to ruin this sentence?" Ruan Zhan still didn't look back.

He has his difficulties, and it is easy to dare to love and hate, but he only knows how difficult it is to think about the other party and keep giving up, which is hard to leave. Wanli is his close friend, and he can tell him what he is in his heart, but Bao Datong is only his temporary partner, so he does not need to explain to him.

"No, I want to tell you." Bao Datong walked forward a few steps, "I have never had much resistance to women, so - that - haha, you understand!"

"You are really confident, but I don't think Xiaoxia is likely to fall in love with you."

"Is that true?" Bao Datong raised his eyebrows, with a look of evil and naiveness on his face. "Are you so sure? I'm not afraid to tell you that Xiao Xia wants to learn magic, so I have accepted her as his apprentice on behalf of my father. She is not only your heart and soul, but also my junior sister, between this senior brother and sister--"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a scream coming from the upstairs.

Before Bao Datong moved, Ruan Zhan rushed upstairs first. Xiao Xia was sitting by the bed with a medicine box next to her, but she was holding a newspaper in her hand, staring at a search revelation on it.

My beloved daughter Zhang Jialin, five years old, tall, melon-shaped face, big eyes, lost ten days ago. If you see her, please contact XXXXX for a reward.

Next to it is a photo of a little girl.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Zhan leaned down and raised Xiao Xia's chin.

Xiao Xia looked at him with a panic look, and his body trembling was relieved because of his touch, "I have seen this girl just now, but she is gone!"
