Xiao Li lowered his head and fiddled with the seat belt tied to his chest with his fingers, waiting for Wang Huai's next words.
The car turned and drove to the right. There were fewer and fewer tall buildings. Instead, there were street shops along the road. Xiao Li noticed that they had passed a big market. Even in this weather, there were bosses in the market. Protecting his vegetables under the canopy, he looked sadly at the street outside the canopy.
Wang Huai did not disappoint Xiao Li either. He held the steering wheel with one hand, took out the phone with the other hand, and called up an audio from the phone:
"Zizzizi, wow, zizizi, wow, zizi."
The volume has been turned up to the maximum, but the noise is so severe that the so-called crying is almost completely inaudible.
Xiao Li was silent for a while: "Is this raising a cicada?"
"No," Wang Huai said, "this is the cry I recorded. It's completely different when I hear it with real ears and when it was recorded. The sound seems to be digging into your eardrum, in your mind."
Xiao Li pondered and asked: "How does it compare to the cry of a crying woman?"
"I don't know her cry..." Wang Huai choked.
Xiao Li: "Then I'll call her out to cry for you, can you compare?"
Wang Huai: "..."
What do you mean by comparison, crying sister is shameless? Although it is said on the forum that it is a colleague, I have to leave some steps for the crying sister to go down, Moriarty!
And what is this comparison going to do, to hold a crying contest in the ghost world, whoever cries the most beautifully will win
"I remember it, it's deeply engraved in my mind, I can't forget it, but I can't say it's different. The feeling left to me is that the voice this time is weaker, sharper, and more resentful than your crying sister." Ye Zeqing has been checking the current update trends in the group, and after hearing this familiar name, he added, "Before the cry disappeared, I could sense that there was a terrifying and powerful force brewing, and after the cry disappeared , I can't feel that power anymore, but I don't think it's gone."
The only reasonable explanation is that the Sun family is hiding something.
The car drove forward, the specially changed tires stepped into puddles one after another, and even the car shook endlessly. Finally, after about a quarter of an hour's drive, Wang Huai stepped on the brakes.
Through the car window, you can barely see the general shape of the Sun House outside.
Different from ordinary mansions, ordinary mansions are usually located in the suburbs. It is difficult to find such a large private residence in the city center, but this Sun's family is different. It sits in the center of this small town, like a silent stone monument.
Shen Mizhi first opened the eternal soul umbrella, covered the roof after getting out of the car, waited for Xiao Li to get out of the car, and then closed the door.
The rain washed over the Sun's ancient house. The door and walls of this house were extremely high, exceeding 1.5 times that of ordinary buildings. The area was huge. I don't know if it was Xiao Li's illusion. The ancient house looks less like a modern building, more like a coffin full of decay.
There are four alleys near the ancient house. There is a high-footed stockade at each corner. The nearest signboard to them is a tea house.
Wang Huai raised his hand and slammed the door hard, waiting for the response from the Sun family.
Soon, someone opened the door from inside, and the person who opened the door was a middle-aged uncle of about fifty years old, wearing a gown, with dull eyes and serious age spots.
Ye Zeqing leaned over to say hello: "Steward Sun, we're back, is Sun Qilin still there?"
"The young master was called over by the master, only the second young lady is here." Butler Sun obviously knew Ye Zeqing, he said respectfully, then he turned to Xiao Li and Shen Mizhi, his eyes on the umbrella of the Eternal Soul Umbrella After a while, "Who are these two?"
Wang Huai: "My friends, come and help you see what happened to the crying before."
Butler Sun stepped aside: "Mr. Wang is joking. The master has already said that the cry is just a mistake in the method of suppressing ghosts, and it is nothing serious."
Wang Huai smiled at him perfunctorily, and led Xiao Li around the small hall in front of him and walked towards the living room.
When they were about to turn the corner, Xiao Li looked back at Butler Sun. He was standing under the eaves, without any rain, standing upright, looking at them through the rain curtain.
not moving at all.
Stiff doesn't look like a human.
"Do you think they are weird too?" In front of acquaintances, Ye Zeqing has now given up his setting of being a ruthless master, and he opened the chat box to Xiao Li, "Actually me too, he speaks like an ancient person, What young master and young lady, it's weird, when I first came here, I thought I had entered the dungeon world. I really feel that our Ye family has really embarked on a modernization process, thank my great grandfather. "
Xiao Li: "Who is Sun Qilin?"
"It's a relatively easy-to-talk Sun family, and it was he who interceded for us to let us stay." Ye Zeqing said.
What he brought Xiao Li into was a room specially reserved for the group of them, leaning against each other. The Sun family was huge and there were many rooms, so it would not be a problem to divide it between Xiao Li and Shen Mizhi.
It was only when they were splitting up that Wang Huai asked, "Two rooms or one room?"
Before Xiao Li could speak, Shen Mizhi said, "One room."
Xiao Li looked at the young man beside him with a half-smile, Shen Mizhi held his wrist: "I won't do anything here."
The rain was so heavy that even if there was an Eternal Soul Umbrella, it was no different. Shen Mizhi almost gave up the space under the umbrella to Xiao Li, half of his arms were wet, and the rainwater flowed down his hand. Wet the boy's sleeves.
Xiao Li's eyes softened and he acquiesced.
"You put your luggage first and sit here for a while. I'll go and find out about Sun Qilin. I'm sure I'll stay here for one night." Wang Huai said, and he left in a hurry.
Shen Mizhi easily carried the suitcase into the room. The outside looks like ancient times, but the inside is not very similar. Its bed is not fixed on the ground, but hangs in the air with ropes, which is a hammock.
Xiao Li went in behind him, and at the moment of entering, he turned his head with emotion and found a pair of eyes looking through the wall opposite the corridor, and someone was looking at him!
As if he didn't expect to be noticed by him, the owner of those eyes stepped back. Now Xiao Li vaguely saw that the other party was a girl, young, with ponytails, and she stepped back hastily.
Ye Zeqing had already entered his own room next door. He changed into dry clothes. He originally wanted to come over and ask Xiao Li if he needed any help, but when he saw Xiao Li standing there in a trance, he couldn't help but speak: "Moriarty, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Li: "There was someone looking at me across from me just now."
His words made Ye Zeqing immediately vigilant, and he quickly asked, "Who is it? Did you see his full face?"
"It's a girl, she's young," Xiao Li shook his head, "I don't feel any malice."
Ye Zeqing: "Girls at the age of the Sun family talk a lot and talk a lot. They may have everything from nanny daughters to partial houses. The goals are too big."
Xiao Li: "If I guess right, she will come to me again."
Sun family.
In the corner that Xiao Li couldn't see, the owner of the ponytail was a little girl with a round face, wearing a school uniform and looking like a big apple.
She rushed all the way to her room like a thief, closed the door tightly, and calmed her heart beating violently from running.
The little girl's room is very large, and it is fundamentally different from Xiao Li and others' rooms: her room has two doors, and the whole is like a suite. It is divided into two spaces, with a bed inside and a bed inside. Much more luxurious than the outside.
She opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of frozen mineral water, and poured it into her throat.
Then the little girl felt the cold air coming from the wide-open refrigerator, she shuddered, closed the refrigerator door abruptly, and sat back at the table.
After a while, the little girl slowly opened the laptop in front of her.
It's time for the online class, there's one last lesson left today.
Due to the recent heavy rain, her school has changed the offline teaching to online live broadcast. However, instead of reducing the burden of schoolwork, she has to be on call whenever she is called, causing many students to complain.
But for the little girl herself, the most important thing is not the increase in schoolwork, but...
Can't leave Sun's house.
She was trapped here by this rain and could no longer have a brief freedom.
The little girl's face showed a few traces of melancholy that did not match her age. She clicked on the online course software, picked up the textbook and pen, and began to wait for the teacher to go online.
Soon, a class and a teacher were connected to the Internet, and the teacher started to call names. When "Sun Jiarun" was called, the little girl opened the microphone and shouted: "Here."
The teacher named everyone's names, then closed the roll and started teaching.
Sun Jiarun listened very seriously at first, but before she knew it, she started to be in a daze with her face in her hands.
She didn't know where Shenyou went until she heard the teacher's stern voice coming from the microphone: "Sun Jiarun!"
Sun Jiarun woke up instantly, she thought it was the teacher who discovered her distraction, and quickly admitted her mistake: "Old, teacher, I'm here, I'm sorry—"
"—If you don't want to listen in class, don't listen. Why are you using the software to tease the teacher?! This is contempt for the class!" The teacher was so angry that she didn't even give Sun Jiarun a chance to finish speaking, and said sternly.
"What? I don't have it?" Sun Jiarun couldn't understand.
"I'm still pretending to be stupid! I wrote an 800-word examination today and handed it over to the teacher." The teacher's anger continued.
Sun Jiarun didn't quite understand. She wanted to ask again, but the WeChat reminder in the corner of the computer flashed. She clicked it and found that it was a message from her classmate.
[Runrun, don't be stubborn with Teacher Lin, you know her personality.]
[It's not a sister, I don't stand for you, but even if you want to make fun of the teacher, don't make a crying software? Also open the microphone in public, doesn't this prevent the teacher from coming to the stage? You don't know, I was so startled that I almost called my mother in.]
[…]
Sun Jiarun could no longer see the rest. Her mind was full of the word "crying software". She looked back at her room with a panicked face. It was empty, and she didn't hear any crying.
Sun Jiarun replied: [You, did you really hear?]
[Is it crying? What kind of cry?]
[That's still fake, otherwise Teacher Lin can make such a big fire?]My friend replied very quickly, [Write a review quickly, Mr. Lin will not call the parents.]
[You made the software yourself, don't you know it? The voice is very shrill, I can't say it, it's a bit like... like...]
Sun Jiarun covered her face, and after a long time, she picked up the phone and replied: [Like a baby...?]
[right! Twisted baby!]The friend answered suddenly.
On the other side, Xiao Li was wandering around Sun's house.
Wang Huai didn't come back, and he didn't want to stay in the room. Shen Mizhi also went out, so he simply joined the wandering footsteps to see the structure of the Sun family.
Various styles of buildings are mixed in the yard. There is a neat row of stilted buildings in the west, while near the south is an ancient courtyard-like garden pond.
There are not many servants in the Sun family. At least Xiao Li walked around a few corridors in the south without bumping into anyone. Suddenly, he caught the small conversation and stopped.
From the back of a waterside pavilion, the voices of two people's conversations faintly came over:
"Sun Qilin, you understand, the current situation..."
"No, I'm not interested... please..."
"The ruling...has..."
Xiao Li could only hear a few key words, most of the other words were swallowed up by the sound of rain.
He stood where he was and did not hide his plans. He just took a step forward when he was discovered by the two alert people.
The two separated like an electric shock, one young man immediately pretended not to know the other, and the one who was despised frowned and looked at him, as if he was about to shoot in the next second—
Something needs to be said about stabilizing the situation.
Xiao Li thought for a while, and said in time, "I'm not here to break up you, I'm here to join you."
Youth: "..."
The stranger across from him: ? ?
What are you talking about? ? !
