I always feel that any words, no matter lies, big words, or jokes, when Li Dangdao stares at me and says it, it is the truth.
He is a preying lion, full of food, and gives me some warnings in his spare time. So when he spit out the word "prey", I stood up with goosebumps all over my body.
I was successfully intimidated by him.
In his lens, I looked like a frightened deer, pursing my lips, holding my breath, and staring at him without blinking.
He lowered his eyes, turned his head and walked into the dilapidated house. I stood behind him and felt that he was smiling. At least he thought I was funny... But when he looked back at me, there was no smile in his eyes , or tugging as usual.
"What are you doing?"
I was stunned by his question, I was stunned for a while, and replied: "Wait for the doctor to go back with me to treat Li and accompany me."
He frowned, with typical landlord impatience: "When I was talking just now, you got mosquitoes in your ears? You expect two doctors to protect you on the way back?"
I looked at him for a while: "Why not?"
"wait for me."
So I quietly waited for him to finish the second half of the sentence, but I just stared at him for ten seconds, and he didn't say another word. I kindly reminded: "What are you waiting for?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around, folded his hands, leaned against the dilapidated wooden door, pushed down his glasses, looked at me with a mentally retarded look, and said slowly: "In addition to waiting for me to get off work, do you think, What else can you and I do here?"
Surrounded by bluestone stairs and dilapidated houses, the river is in the distance below, and there are crowded scenic spots not far up. If this is my boyfriend here, based on the amount of film readings I have accumulated over the years, I can think of 10,000 capable things. Warm, stimulating, everything, whatever you want to do...
But Li Dangdang, I could only stare at him blankly, and asked for a long time: "You want me to wait for you to go home together?"
"Did you let Li Peipai turn his head upside down yesterday? Too stupid to understand Chinese?" He turned on the stalking mode, but I didn't go back in time because I was a little confused.
I'm not stupid, nor can I understand what Li Dangdang said to me, I just don't understand him.
I know how much Li Dangdang hates the word "together".
Not only did he hate himself being "together" with others, but he also hated me and Li being "together" with little wolf Xiaomei. He called our playing mahjong a gathering for gambling, and calling us a barbecue an illegal assembly. We met each other once, and the frequency of our gatherings plummeted. Only Li Peipai and I lived on the same floor and kept in touch more frequently.
Li Dangdang seems to want each of us to keep a distance from each other...or...
He wants me to keep my distance from everyone.
Yes, as I said before, I think Li Dangdao hates me in his heart because I broke his rules.
So, from the very beginning, my mind never turned in the direction that he would "deign" to go back with me in order to protect me.
"Come in." Li Dangdang said these two words, left me who was still in a daze, and walked into the dilapidated house.
I raised my head and glanced at the cracked wall above, and glanced left and right at the deserted path, feeling a little guilty, and stepped into the door with small steps, and almost the next moment, the door closed with a "squeak", and the whole room Immediately plunged into darkness.
There is no retreat, and I can't see Li Dangdao who is walking ahead.
"plum… "
I just started talking, when I heard a soft sound of "cha", the flame burst out, and Li Dangdeng lit a candle in the corner, the flame trembled and swayed on his face, making his facial features more three-dimensional, for a moment , I feel in a trance that this is not a dilapidated house in an ancient town that has not been repaired in Ciqikou, but an old castle in a distant European continent, where the vampire Count lives with uncertain weather...
"Come here." The count ordered me, successfully breaking my imagination.
"Do you know that every time you call me, you have the same expression and tone as Li Peipei calling Mangzi?"
I raised my dissatisfaction, in exchange for Li Dangdang glanced lightly: "Oh, then I'm pretty good to you."
"..."
During the conversation, I walked up to him, and just as I stood firmly on my feet, suddenly, the flame of the candle he held in his hand suddenly lit up, and the brilliance under my feet was shining. I looked down and saw a perfectly round magic circle shining with golden brilliance. Although it had been a while since I lived in an old residential house, it was the first time for me to stand in such a circle, and I was very excited.
"Like an animation!" I just yelled this, and the brilliance around me suddenly disappeared. In front of me, I no longer saw the dark interior of the dilapidated house, but a secret passage built by piled stones. The secret passage was damp, and dim candles were lit on both sides. But the dim environment did not kill my high spirits, my eyes kept sweeping around.
This is simply a place of inspiration!
I looked around and asked, "Where are we now? Is it still Ciqikou? Is this underground? How deep have you dug it into? Let me tell you, how can your Vampire Association, with such an interesting-sounding name, work in a dilapidated building. I want to be here." Waiting for you? Can I walk around by myself? I promise not to touch anything!"
I chattered and yelled enthusiastically, and it took me a while to find out that I broke the tranquility here, like a square dance breaking into the library, so out of season, and Li Dangdao didn't stop me and asked me to be quiet.
I turned to look at him, only to see that he was looking at me too.
The four eyes meet, separated by a dancing candle.
He stared at me for a long time, as if he saw the other side of time and space through me, but after I stretched out my hand to cover my mouth sensiblely, he blinked, and the foggy veil in his eyes dissipated , he regained his former pride:
"Take the light out of your eyes, don't blind the vampire who can't see the light below." He said and handed me the candle in his hand, "Take the light and go to the room behind the third candle ahead and wait." I."
I suppressed my voice: "I just ask a question."
"Um?"
"Can I walk around by myself?"
Then Li Dangdang smiled without a smile on his face: "What do you think? Prey."
I swallowed.
He turned around and walked back into the darkness without candles. The voice seemed to come from the void, colliding back and forth in the dark passage, hollow and terrifying: "If you are fat, go shopping. The underground office building of the Sucking Association is very big. There is everything, take the candle, that is your pass." He paused, and I saw his figure turn his head to look at me before he was about to be submerged in the darkness, "Don't let it go out."
As if I heard some terrible curse, my scalp went numb, I immediately protected the candle, and carefully moved to the room Li Dangdang said, there was a simple desk and chair inside, I sat down with the candle in my arms, motionless Stare at the firelight.
All my curiosity died at the moment Li Dangdang threatened me just now.
To save my life, not to die, I think this is the main reason for me to survive in this dangerous world.
I just sat staring at the fire for a long time. I was really bored. I took out my mobile phone, but there was no signal, so I started to play the game of destroying stars. When I looked up, I saw that the incandescent lamp hanging above the head was turned on, and the room became bright white in an instant, as bright as an ordinary government office, and the dark and terrifying atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
"Oh, I'm scared to death, why are you sitting here alone without turning on the light?" A cute girl of fifteen or sixteen years old asked me with a confused look at the door.
I responded with a twitching corner of my mouth: "No... no one told me that there are lights here..." I said, "I thought you all like to light candles here..."
"Who likes to light candles? It's smoky and stuffy. The lights in the hallway were broken last week. They were repaired and they haven't been repaired. I just lit candles." She walked in and threw the noodles on the table. The smell of small noodles immediately filled the room, and the spicy smell stimulated the sense of taste, making me a little hungry, "Rang Rang, that's my office chair, you go and sit there."
"Oh..." I moved away holding the candle.
"What are you doing holding the candle? Can't you see it when you turn on the light?" She asked me.
"Didn't it say... the candle was a pass?"
Xiao Mengmei was stunned for a while, then opened the documents on the table, found a landline in the corner, and made a call:
"Hello? General Secretary's Office, this is the front desk, can you communicate with the director? Can you tell him to stop scaring newcomers and explain to others that we are modern and law-abiding The work unit is really tiring! I’m very busy, okay!... Don’t you tell me? If you don’t tell me, why don’t you let me talk to the director? Why do you need your secretary’s office?”
Xiao Mengmei got into a fight with someone on the phone, and I just observed a scolding battle in a non-human institution at close range.
Then it dawned on me...
Fucking Lee! I didn't expect you to be such a naive vampire! You actually bullied me as a newcomer who doesn't understand the rules of your smoking association!
"Turtle son, I'm so mad at my mother." Xiaomeng girl threw the phone and cursed in dialect, "If it weren't for the fact that my face is about to burn, my mother would not call (swear) him to death today." She said, While opening the disposable chopsticks, he ate two mouthfuls of noodles. The small noodles warmed her stomach, and seemed to calm her heart. She then looked up at me, her emotions were no longer as intense as they were on the phone just now.
"What business are you here for? Don't worry, we haven't drunk human blood for a long time."
I know that their vampires don’t drink human blood very much now. In modern society, they have long created a blood powder granule with high nutrition and high value that can be produced efficiently. Just like milk powder, it is a bag of blood, clean and pollution-free . The price varies from high to low, the taste can be sweet or fishy, and some can be drunk with sugar and salt. There is also a dispute between vampires about the sweet and salty blood meal.
Of course, as a necessity of life, blood powder occasionally has some counterfeit and shoddy products in the market, endangering the health of vampires, so their Vampire Association also has a very important responsibility to crack down on fake and shoddy products.
Some time ago, I heard that Li Dangdang and the others seized a ton of fake and inferior blood powder, and even arrested a few lawbreakers and locked them up.
"I'm not here for business, I'm... I'm here to wait for your Director Li to get off work."
When Xiao Mengmei heard this, her eyes lit up: "Wait for the director to go home together?"
"Well, I'm his neighbor. Today is a bit of a special occasion, so...uh..."
It’s okay if I don’t explain, but when I explained, Xiao Mengmei’s eyes became brighter and brighter. I couldn’t explain clearly, so I just shut up and let her look me up and down, and then said to me while eating noodles:
"Oh, our director is good everywhere, but he likes to scare people. Many times, people who come to do business are afraid to say a few words to us, for fear that we will eat them. The director said that this will make people They make less trouble, but we didn't expect to increase the difficulty of our work, and we can't win their trust. Miss neighbor, if you have a chance, please talk to our director."
I'd say it better than you say it yourself...
I smiled, noncommittal, and quietly listened to her other complaints.
It’s amazing, I’m a cartoonist who started drawing at home as soon as I graduated, and I’ve never been to any company. I never imagined that one day, I would listen to a The vampire and I complained about our troubles at work.
Xiaomengmei said, I don’t know how long it’s been, maybe it’s time for me to go to bed at night, I closed my eyes on the chair, and there was always her nagging voice in my ears, slowly, the nagging female voice into another voice.
This voice is obviously much panicked, she seems to be in a stuffy and hot place, she has been walking, shuttling through the crowd, everyone passing by has a gloomy look on their faces, the atmosphere is sad and desperate, every time she meets People asked, "Where is my child? Have you seen my child? He is a little boy, wearing blue clothes. Have you seen him?"
The world is silent, only she is constantly looking for it.
And suddenly there was a "boom", the sky collapsed, and stones fell from the top of the head. The crowd began to scream, and there was chaos. She could only scream desperately in the chaos: "Yaoer! Yaoer!"
She shouted louder and louder, more and more shrill, every sound was tearing my eardrums. However, after a high-pitched whine, the world suddenly fell into darkness.
"Su Xiaoxin."
I heard someone calling my name.
I opened my eyes, Li Dangdang stood in front of me, he looked at me, his eyes were so calm, which formed such a sharp contrast with the panic in my dream.
"I... had a nightmare." As I said, I sat up, only to realize that my palms and fists were aching, and my back was covered with cold sweat.
He pulled up a chair, sat down beside me, crossed his arms and crossed his legs, looked at me: "Tell me." With that confident expression, it seemed that no matter how terrible things in the world were, they were not worth mentioning in front of him. Same.
So, beside him, I feel inexplicably confident that this nightmare is really not worth mentioning.
