I don't know when it started to rain outside, and colorful umbrellas were stretched open in the air, becoming the only bright color in this dark world. Some people walked slowly with umbrellas, and some people walked without umbrellas.
Five minutes later, Yan Yu staggered out of the cafe, the pain and numbness in his body had not dissipated, and his face, which was paler than ordinary people, was now even more gray and blue.
The system dinged twice.
[Kiss, everyone said that there will be electric shock punishment, why don't you believe it]
After taking two steps, Yan Yu felt a little palpitated. He leaned against the wall and breathed quietly. The heavy rain poured down outside, and he was mostly wet in a short time. He wiped the rain on his face, first sneered, and then his face became gloomy. : "Fuck, what's your business with me looking for a partner?!"
[Kiss, the system-kun does not interfere with the freedom of marriage, you can find a partner, but you can't eat soft rice~]
Yan Yu: "If you can't eat soft rice, why am I looking for a partner?!"
[Kiss, friendly reminder, water can be electrified. 】
Yan Yu stopped talking, walked into the rain curtain alone, his dark hair was wet with water, and his skin was abnormally pale and bloodless, only those eyes were sharp and clear, like a wolf.
He didn't even change his clothes when he got home. As soon as he took off his shoes, he started rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find things. He found two hundred dollars under the mattress and three hundred and seventy-two dollars and five in the old clothes pocket hanging in the closet. hair.
Money is like a treasure buried in the ground, look for it and you will find it.
There is a wooden desk quietly placed in the corner. It may be left by the previous tenant. It is very old. The edges are scratched and the paint is mottled. Yan Yu rarely uses this desk. The drawer is locked inside. It's all things he won't touch again.
Pulling on the rusted latch on the drawer, he took the boss's strength to pull the first drawer open. There were some old books about yin and yang gossip inside, the covers were yellowed, and there was a spider in the corner. The cobwebs were knotted, and there was a musty smell between the nostrils.
Yan Yu lit a cigarette, squinted his eyes in the lingering smoke and pushed the drawer upside down on the ground. He pulled it for a while, and found that there was not a penny. Then he opened the second drawer, and there was a yin and yang for the stall. Bagua cloth, several copper coins and yellow talismans, and a series of exorcism items.
Yan Yu didn't even look at it, and closed it with a bang. He opened the last drawer, and there was only a stack of papers in it. The top one had two strings of numbers written on it. Below the numbers was a calculation similar to a hexagram. The picture, the pattern is very complicated, it was drawn with a pencil, and there are many incomprehensible signs marked on it, but unfortunately it has been blurred and faded.
Yan Yu didn't know why, so he didn't move until the spark burned out, and a piece of soot fell silently on the paper. Then he reacted and stretched out his hand to flick it. As a result, the soot scattered and became more dirty. Take out the paper and shake it.
There are more than 30 sheets of paper in this stack, and the patterns on each page are similar. The person who drew this reckoning diagram seems to be very stubborn.
Yan Yu pressed the cigarette butt on the ground to extinguish it, and didn't turn any more. He took out his mobile phone to find Tang Ying's number and dialed it. After three rings, he was quickly picked up.
"What's the matter?" Tang Ying's voice was cold and hard.
"Didn't you say that Xun Chuan left something for me, when will it be given to me?" Yan Yu said lazily.
The voice on the other end of the phone was messy, and there was a faint quarrel. Tang Ying was silent for a moment before she said, "I booked a flight for tomorrow morning, and I won't be back. I'll send you the address, and you can come and get it yourself."
When Xun Chuan's accident happened, she was preparing for a wedding abroad, and she hurried back when she heard the news.
Yan Yu hung up the phone and was about to go out, but after glancing at the darkening sky outside, he stepped back again, took a few yellow talismans from the drawer on the second floor and put them in his pocket before going out.
Tang Yingfa's address was in a suburban villa, which seemed to be Xun Chuan's home. When Yan Yu arrived, a well-maintained middle-aged woman was sitting on the sofa on the first floor. , She was stunned, and was about to ask a question, but Tang Ying just walked down from the second floor with her suitcase.
Tang Ying said to Yan Yu, "Go get the first room on the second floor by yourself."
Yan Yu smiled when he heard the words, and went upstairs by himself, but when he entered the room, he faintly heard the quarrel coming from the downstairs, and couldn't help but keep an eye on it, leaving a gap when the door was closed.
Mother Xun was sitting on the sofa. Compared to Tang Ying's haggard, she didn't see the slightest bit of sadness on her face, and she asked softly, "Aying, who is that man, and why did you let him into Achuan's room? ?" After speaking, he said with anger: "You child, why are you so anxious to move out today, your uncle broke his neck for no reason a few days ago, and is still lying in the hospital, you have to think of a way to handle the fee?"
I don't know which of these words touched her nerves. When Tang Ying heard the words, she kicked the suitcase beside her feet and said sharply, "He deserves to lie in the hospital! He deserves to go bankrupt! It's not a pity for ten thousand times! Retribution! It's all retribution! If I stay here for another day, I will be disgusted to death by you!"
Mother Xun frowned when she heard the words: "How can you say that about your uncle? He didn't do that for this family. No one wants Achuan's death, and I feel very sad."
Tang Ying's eyes were red, her chest was heaving, and she looked extremely annoyed: "He is a beast! You are also a beast! Whose parents would send their own son to someone else's bed just to make money! If Xun Chuan didn't want to hide from you, why would he? will die!"
Mother Xun looked embarrassed when she heard the words: "There is a problem with the company, and we have no choice. Who made Chairman Liu fall in love with Achuan? Besides, we haven't agreed yet, who knows what Achuan will do? The child is so stubborn, he just ran away from home, alas, it's really hard."
Tang Ying's face suddenly turned gloomy when she heard this, and she sneered: "Really? Then why don't you send Xu Jiang over? He looks good, why don't you send Xu Jiang over as well?! What? ?"
As her voice gradually rose, Mother Xun couldn't hold it anymore, she stood up and argued with her about something.
Xun Chuan's father passed away very early, and Xun Chuan's mother married the second time. Not long after the marriage, Xun Chuan's half-brother Xu Jiang was born.
The coffee table seemed to be kicked, and it made an extremely harsh sound when it rubbed the ground. Yan Yu didn't listen to what he said later. He closed the door with his backhand, and finally understood why Xun Chuan's tone on the phone was so flustered that day. Feeling tense and unable to relax for a long time.
Suddenly, it rained heavily outside. During the period, there were lightning and thunder, and the wind and rain were shaky. One after another, loud rumblings rang through the ears, as if to tear the sky apart.
All the belongings left by Xun Chuan were sorted out by Tang Ying and placed in a cardboard box. Yan Yu turned it over and found a mobile phone recovered by the police, a bank card, and some miscellaneous things. There was a pot on the windowsill. An unknown plant, but it has not been watered for too long, and it has already dried up and turned yellow.
The phone still had power, Yan Yu tried to turn it on and found that the combination lock had been broken, but some things were still there. He fixedly looked at the background of the desktop and found that it was his own photo.
The angle is very blurry, it seems to be a candid photo, a man is sitting at the bar drinking, his profile is clear, the dark blue light hits him, it is as transparent as jade, a face is so handsome that it is almost cool, but it makes No one can look away.
The first time they met, it seemed like this was the scene.
At that time, Xun Chuan hadn't fallen in love with Yan Yu yet, and he was so proud that he was very proud. He was obviously a beautiful young man, but his body was covered with thorns.
Yan Yu was sitting at the bar, sipping a glass of wine slowly, and after drinking it for a long time, Xun Chuan sat opposite him. His outstanding appearance attracted the attention of many people, and even if someone moved his feet, he ended up throwing him. A slap in the face with a drunken face.
Yan Yu smiled and treated it as a play.
Xun Chuan was overwhelmed, and finally sat down with a glass of wine. He noticed that the surroundings of Yan Yu were very empty, and those gangsters seemed to be avoiding him on purpose.
He sat down for less than three minutes, looked at Yan Yu one after another, and finally couldn't help coming over to chat with him, with an unknown curiosity on his face: "Hey, why are you drinking so slowly, you have been drinking for ten minutes with a big slap. ."
Yan Yu: "Oh, I have no money."
Xun Chuan's eyes were very pure, black and white. Hearing that, he stared at Yan Yu for a long time with interest, and finally pushed the wine in his hand over and said, "I invite you to drink it."
Yan Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, finally raised his eyes to face him, and stated the facts in a calm tone: "You have drunk this glass of wine."
Xun Chuan said: "Okay, then you order it yourself, and the wine bill is mine."
Yan Yu glanced behind him and meant something: "I'm afraid you'll be hospitalized before you can pay the bill."
The little gangster who was slapped just now was bringing a few minions aggressively towards here, and the target was Xun Chuan. Hearing Yan Yu's words, Xun Chuan turned back subconsciously, and obviously found them too.
"Fuck, if I can't beat me, I'll find helpers, there are a bunch of cubs, and the young master can't kill them!"
It was obviously the first time for Xun Chuan to come here. The newborn calf was not afraid of tigers. He rolled up his sleeves and went up to meet him directly. , I don't know why I was stunned for a while, and my expression suddenly became weird.
Xun Chuan squeezed his fist: "Here or go out to fight?"
Yan Yu didn't know when to stand behind him, Wen Yan nodded silently, and rolled up his sleeves, like a little brother, like a bodyguard.
The little gangster said, "I don't want to bully the lesser, I won't be so lucky next time I meet you!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Xun Chuan standing in the same place, confused.
Seeing that he didn't move, Yan Yu blew a breath on the back of his neck, Xun Chuan shrank his neck, jumped far away in fright, and stared at the boss: "You, you... What are you doing?!"
Yan Yu looked at him: "Didn't you say you want to invite me to drink?"
Xun Chuan rubbed his neck, but he hadn't recovered from the itch: "You order, I'll pay."
Yan Yu: "No, give me the discount, don't ask much, seven or eight hundred will do."
Xun Chuan: "Fuck, you're really welcome!"
Yan Yu finally got all the cash on Xun Chuan's body. He put the money in his jacket pocket and was about to go home, but was suddenly stopped by Xun Chuan before leaving.
Xun Chuan's voice was a little unconvinced: "Hey, what's your name?"
"... Yan Yu."
"My name is Xun Chuan."
One seeks, one encounters, if you don't seek, you won't encounter, if you don't encounter, you won't find...
Maybe it was because Yan Yu had been delayed for too long, Tang Ying didn't know when he came up, and when he opened the door, he saw that he was staring at the phone screen in a daze, so he couldn't help knocking on the door frame to get his attention.
Yan Yu reacted, threw the phone into the box, and was about to say something, but heard Tang Ying say, "There is some money in the card, which was left by Xun Chuan, you should know the password."
The system rings at the right time: [ding~]
Yan Yu said, "Keep it for yourself."
Tang Ying glanced at him: "If Xun Chuan is alive, the money will come to you sooner or later, and he will only give it to you. Get something and leave quickly."
After speaking, he turned around and went downstairs, and the sound of the car engine starting was heard outside the courtyard in a short time.
The system said: [Kiss, let's not eat soft rice~ Be good, put the money down, you will be a fool again if you call again~]
It is also cheap to keep the bank card, the beast downstairs, Yan Yu would rather exchange all of them with gold ingots and burn them to Xun Chuan.
And the system seemed to know what he was thinking, and the thorn sounded twice before making no sound.
The downstairs was in a mess. Mother Xun sat on the sofa, her face still full of anger, Yan Yu passed behind her, slender fingertips stroked the back of her head, and there were two more hairs in her palm.
Mother Xun frowned in pain and turned her head back, but saw Yan Yuzheng standing behind her, she couldn't help but startled: "What are you doing?!"
Yan Yu smiled: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm a friend of Xun Chuan. I want to ask where is his cemetery?"
Mother Xun's face was not good when she heard this, but she still reported an address.
Yan Yu nodded and walked out of the door, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he took a detour to the back garden, took out a piece of yellow paper from his pocket, bit his fingertips and drew a moldy bad luck charm with blood. He wrapped the two strands of hair in his palm, and he didn't know how he did it. He chanted a spell in a low voice, and the yellow talisman suddenly burned out of thin air.
Yan Yu's face turned paler than before. He quietly watched the yellow talisman burn in the palm of his hand, his face was covered with a layer of warmth, and there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes. When he met the palm of his hand, he buried the talisman into the ground, and then left.
It was already night, perhaps because of the heavy rain today, there were no pedestrians on the street, the moon was shining, it was quiet and cold, Yan Yu had a sullen expression, pale lips, and walked home with the cardboard box, unaware. When did a phantom appear on his shoulders.
The street was silent, and in the place where the night and the moonlight blended, where no one else could see, Yan Yu had an extra hand on his shoulder.
It was a pale, slender, articulated hand that belonged to a man. Against Yan Yu's pure black clothes, it looked unreasonably good-looking.
The phantom of a man gradually took shape, and the other party put his chin on his shoulder and rubbed it ambiguous. A knife wound was faintly visible at the throat, and the blood was still wet.
The man's other hand climbed up along his shoulder little by little, and finally grabbed his neck vainly.
"I'm waiting for you… "
He let out a low, creepy laugh.
