Sun Xiaoli's eyes were swollen from crying, and the strands of hair on her forehead were stained with tears and stuck to her face.
She seemed not to hear what I said and continued sobbing.
Knowing that my shouting might have scared her, I quickly got up from the sofa and went to her.
I put my hands on her shoulders and patted them twice, comforting her: "Xiao Li, are you angry? I didn't mean it, really. What happened just now, and those damn crows in this room, are really scary. You are scared, I know..."
But I didn't expect Sun Xiaoli to ignore me. She raised her arm and directly shook off my hand on her shoulder.
"Get out of here, I don't need your help!"
She said with complaints in her eyes and an unhappy look on her face.
I tried my best to put on a smile and said shamelessly, "Please don't do that. I'm just concerned about you. I was wrong just now. How about this? You go and have some rest first, and I'll clean up these dead crows in the room."
Sun Xiaoli didn't say anything either, but stood up from the ground angrily.
She took a step, carefully avoiding the dead crow on the ground, and then moved to lie on her side.
With a "bang", the door of the side bedroom was slammed shut by her.
Seeing her enter the bedroom, I felt very uncomfortable.
I do have a bad temper, but sometimes I don't show it properly. Although the stinky Taoist priest controlled the crows to hit me today, it has nothing to do with Sun Xiaoli.
But I yelled at the girl, which was not only rude but also took her feelings into consideration.
I believe that no matter which girl sees the black crow corpses all over the ground, the dirty and smelly gray-white crow droppings, and the walls covered with fishy-smelling crow blood, she will not remain calm.
It's normal to be scared.
I let out a long breath, slapped my forehead hard, and thought to myself, "Yang Tianyi, Yang Tianyi, how come you don't know how to be gentle with women at all."
Shaking my head, I started to clean up the house.
I found a black garbage bag from the cabinet under the kitchen. Wearing gloves, I put the dead crows into the black garbage bag.
I also swept up the scattered crow feathers with a broom and put them into the garbage bag.
If the painting is crooked, I straighten it. If the bottle is broken, I put it in the garbage bag and throw it away.
I mopped up the blood on the floor with a mop dipped in water.
As for the red blood stains on the wall, I think it's a bit difficult to deal with. I guess I'll have to find a painter to repaint the living room when I have time.
I took half a bag of crow carcasses downstairs and threw them into the trash can. Then I went back upstairs. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
I was so sleepy that I turned off the lights in the living room and went into my bedroom.
I was sleeping soundly with a loud snoring.
Luckily, no ghosts came knocking on the door that night, or I would have cursed him.
When I was sleeping, I dreamed that there were crows flying around, which made me very uneasy.
The next day, when it was bright, I woke up dazed.
The sunlight was a little dazzling, so I squinted my eyes slightly.
When I walked out of the bedroom and prepared to go to the bathroom, I noticed that Sun Xiaoli was packing her things. She had already put on her clothes and was putting her things into the suitcase with her hands.
It seems like she is about to leave here!
I went to the door of the side bedroom and poked my head to look inside.
Sun Xiaoli also saw me, but he glared at me fiercely and snorted coldly.
I pretended to yawn and asked with a smile, "Xiao Li, what are you doing
Why are you packing up your luggage? "
Sun Xiaoli pouted and said unhappily, "None of your business."
I noticed that her eyes were dark, and it seemed that she didn't sleep well last night.
Come to think of it, the girl was already scared enough, and then I scolded her, so it was normal for her to be angry.
Besides, she lives here and shares the rent with me. It would be very rude of me to treat her like that.
After packing up, Sun Xiaoli pulled the armrest of the suitcase and walked out to the side bedroom.
I put my hand on the door frame to stop her.
I said in a friendly manner, "Xiao Li, please don't leave, okay? I was wrong last night. Please forgive me this time, please be lenient and spare me."
"I promise I will never provoke you again, let alone yell at you! Is that ok?"
But Sun Xiaoli still didn't listen to me.
She looked impatient, stretched out her hand and pushed my arm, shouting, "Get out of my way! I want to leave here. I don't want to live with a bad guy like you. I don't need you to help me find my grandfather. I have my own arms and legs. I can find him myself."
You see, she has quite a temper.
I still refused to give way and said hurriedly, "Just give me a chance. I am a ghost-catching Taoist priest after all. People outside respect me when they know my identity. If they knew that I was apologizing to a girl and she still didn't forgive me, then my reputation would be like a shoe insole. How can I survive in my circle in the future?"
I deliberately spoke in a teasing tone, hoping to make Sun Xiaoli laugh.
I thought to myself that as long as she was happy, she would forgive me.
But unexpectedly, Sun Xiaoli didn't buy it at all.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way now! If you don't, I'll call the police."
As she said that, Sun Xiaoli started pushing me again.
I had no choice but to give way with a gloomy face.
Sun Xiaoli rolled her eyes at me and walked towards the door with her suitcase.
"Xiao Li, let's talk nicely. I love the breakfast you make the most. If you leave like this, who will cook for me? I am sincere enough and I apologize to you sincerely. Just think of it as me talking nonsense and going crazy after drinking last night. Isn't that enough?"
Sun Xiaoli had already walked to the door and pushed it open.
I wanted to go out and stop her, but when I looked at my own shorts, I thought forget it.
I didn't expect Sun Xiaoli to be so sensitive. Although I scolded her a little harshly last night, it was just a few words.
I don’t understand women’s minds anymore.
In fact, I knew in my heart that I really hoped Sun Xiaoli would stay.
I took out a cigarette, smoked one, and stood in front of the broken window glass.
The wind in the morning is a little cool, but it feels pretty good when it blows on my body.
I held a cigarette in my mouth and looked downstairs.
The south side of the building faces the street. At this time, Sun Xiaoli had already gone downstairs and left the community.
I noticed that she was wiping away tears while pulling the suitcase.
Oh! I thought to myself, my young girlish heart is fucking broken again.
I was helpless. I didn't plan to stare at the girl anymore. After all, she was angry and chose to leave, and there was nothing I could do.
We get along very well these days and it's very nice to have someone to talk to every day.
But now... ... I feel a little regretful.
Just as I was about to turn around and walk back to the living room, I noticed that a black car suddenly appeared at the entrance of the street.
Soon after, several people got out of the car, and the leader had a bandage on his arm.
I looked carefully at the leader and found that he was the injured
Xiong Nantian.
After Xiong Nantian got out of the car, he directed his men to drag Sun Xiaoli into the black car.
After the people were put into the car, it drove away directly.
Damn it, this is kidnapping! And it happened right in front of me.
I didn't care about anything else and rushed out of the apartment building with the keys on the coffee table.
I ran out of the apartment panting and rushed to the gate of the community.
But at this time, the car had already fled and disappeared.
On the road on the side of the street, there was a shoulder bag and a trolley case, all of which belonged to Sun Xiaoli.
I was so annoyed that my brows were twisted together.
I gritted my teeth, frowned, and took Sun Xiaoli's bag and suitcase back to the apartment.
I slammed the apartment door shut, raised my hand, and punched the wall twice.
The regret in my heart became stronger and stronger. I thought to myself, it's all my fault. If I hadn't scolded Sun Xiaoli yesterday and made her angry, how could Xiong Nantian have taken advantage of her this morning
Now that Sun Xiaoli has been kidnapped, it's really fucking difficult to deal with.
At this moment, my cell phone suddenly rang on the sofa in the living room.
I walked over quickly and took a look, and sure enough, the phone number was Sun Xiaoli's.
I picked up the phone directly.
Before I could say anything, Sun Xiaoli's choked voice for help came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Tianyi, please come and save me quickly, I've been kidnapped by Xiong Nantian..."
I hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'll go save you right away, don't worry! Tell me, where are you..."
Before Sun Xiaoli could answer, a noisy sound came from the other end of the phone.
Then the phone came into the hands of a man.
It was Xiong Nantian who answered the phone.
Xiong Nantian smiled coldly and asked: "Hey, Master Yang, can you guess who I am?"
Damn it, I saw it all before, how could I not guess it
I directly said Xiong Nantian's name.
Xiong Nantian seemed very surprised, and said with a strange smile: "Yes, it's me! I'm afraid you already know that your girlfriend is in my hands now. If you want to save her, it's very simple. Tonight at 10:00 p.m., bring the things my grandfather wants and come to East Lake!"
I didn't argue, and said solemnly, "Okay, I'll go! I'll also bring the things you want. But you can't hurt Sun Xiaoli, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Xiong Nantian stopped laughing and said coldly, "Don't worry, we won't touch the person, but you must bring that thing over. Otherwise, you may not be able to see the person again."
"Also, you can't call the police. You have to do it yourself. If I find out that you called the police, then I'm sorry, this won't just be a transaction. It may very well turn into a murder."
I responded, “Okay, I won’t call the police.”
"That's settled then. Remember to meet at East Lake at 11 p.m. Bring your things with you."
After saying that, Xiong Nantian hung up the phone.
When he hung up the phone, I could still vaguely hear Sun Xiaoli's anxious crying.
Holding the phone in my hand, I was stunned for half a minute.
I wondered what that ugly, knobby black stone was.
And why did Xiong Nantian and his grandfather Xiong Qingyuan want to get that stone
But I can't figure it out.
But I have confirmed that the stinky old man who appeared downstairs last night was Xiong Nantian.
I rubbed my temples and tried my best to calm myself down.
I know that I can't be impatient about anything. If I am impatient, it is likely to backfire.
After thinking about it, I moved to the corner of the sofa, picked up the red lacquer box, and placed it on my knees.
