Phantom Skeleton Painting

Chapter 48: Throwing the handkerchief (end)

Views:

Lin Banxia climbed over the fence of the side door and ran almost all the way towards the roller coaster. He clearly remembered where he fell from just now, and there was even that wonderful sense of weightlessness left on his body. It was noon at this time, the sun was shining brightly, and the whole amusement park was bathed in golden light, which formed a sharp contrast with the terrifying appearance of the amusement park last night. Lin Banxia finally saw the roller coaster track in the sky from a distance. , and Song Qingluo below the track.

Song Qingluo was lying on the ground, he was a little tired, and stared at the blue sky with half-drooping eyes. There are white clouds floating in the sky, the sun is not dazzling, but it makes people feel warm. Just when he thought he was about to fall asleep, a shadow suddenly appeared in his sight.

There was a gentle smile in the shadow's voice, like the warm wind blowing on his face, he asked him, "Song Qingluo, are you alright?"

Song Qingluo opened her eyes and saw Lin Banxia's face.

Lin Banxia curled the corners of her eyes. Her hair, which was slightly lighter in color than ordinary people, glowed a touch of gold under the sunlight. It looked soft and warm, like a ball of fluffy cotton. He couldn't help but think about it. Reach out and gently rub twice. Song Qingluo blinked, suppressing the sudden desire in her heart.

"How are your legs?" Lin Banxia asked worriedly, noticing that Song Qingluo's feet were at the wrong angle.

"It's okay." Song Qingluo replied softly.

"No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it's okay." Lin Banxia said, "When will the people over there come to take care of the aftermath?"

"It's probably still a while." Song Qingluo said, "I don't want to go to the hospital, I want to go home."

"Don't go to the hospital?" Lin Banxia looked hesitant, "This injury looks quite serious... Is it really okay??"

Song Qingluo was stubborn and shook her head: "No."

Knowing that Song Qingluo never went to the hospital, and whether Song Qingluo didn't like it or was inconvenient, Lin Banxia thought about it and said, "Then I'll carry you back." out.

Song Qingluo didn't hesitate, grabbed Lin Banxia's hand, and was pulled up from the ground by Lin Banxia.

This is not the first time that Song Qingluo has carried Song Qingluo, but Lin Banxia would still be surprised by his gentle weight. If Song Qingluo's chin was still on his shoulder, he would not have felt that he was carrying a people. Song Qingluo buried her head in Lin Banxia's neck and did not move, as if she had fallen asleep again.

Lin Banxia deliberately eased her steps, and walked out of the amusement park through the side door behind him. In the morning, the entrance to the amusement park was empty. He walked forward for a while and reached the side of the road where he could take a taxi. He was about to take out his mobile phone to make a dick, but suddenly he smelled a fragrance.

"Do you want to eat sausages?" Lin Banxia felt a little hungry.

"Eat." Song Qingluo's voice became lighter, "I still want to drink Coke."

Lin Banxia smiled.

He turned around and found the source of the fragrance - a sausage machine in the canteen, bought a large bottle of Coke along the way, and then stuffed the grilled sausage with oil and fried skin into Song Qingluo's mouth.

Song Qingluo slowly ate the grilled sausage and was fed two more cokes. Satisfied, she continued to sleep on Lin Banxia's shoulder.

Lin Banxia chewed the sausage in his mouth, took a taxi, and went home.

The driver's master saw Song Qingluo's unconscious appearance, and cast a suspicious look at Lin Banxia. Lin Banxia had no choice but to explain that his friend was not feeling well. Fortunately, he gave birth to a face that was pure enough, and the driver's master reluctantly suppressed his desire to call the police.

Song Qingluo had been sleeping until he got home and was carefully placed on the bed by Lin Banxia, then he woke up and asked Lin Banxia to call Li Su.

Lin Banxia asked what to call Li Su, and Song Qingluo said you'd know if you called, and then he went back to sleep.

Lin Banxia had to listen to his instructions and called Li Su. The first call was not answered, and the second call rang for a while before Li Su's voice sounded on the other end. He seemed to have just woken up. The voice was soft.

"Hello, Li Su?" Lin Banxia said.

Li Su said, "What's the matter, baby Banxia?"

Lin Banxia said, "Song Qingluo asked me to call you."

Li Su said, "You came out from the inside?" There was a rustling sound at the other end, probably because he was putting on clothes.

"Well, it's out." Lin Banxia said, "Song Qingluo is asleep now, that thing was taken away by Shen Junyan."

"Oh... that's it." Li Su said, "I'll come over right away, you can let him sleep, don't worry about him."

Lin Banxia said yes.

However, although he promised, he was still a little worried, so he didn't rest, sitting next to Song Qingluo. Song Qingluo closed her eyes, her long eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyes, and her white porcelain skin did not have a trace of blood, it looked like an ice sculpture. If it wasn't for his chest still heaving, Lin Banxia would even think he was dead. This delusion made Lin Banxia a little flustered, he poked Song Qingluo lightly, and he was relieved when he saw that his brows were slightly furrowed.

Outside the bedroom, a small head was thrown out. Lin Banxia saw it, and he whispered, "Little cave?"

The little bones creaked to the front of the bed, wanting to tiptoe to look at Song Qingluo, but Nai He was so short that he could only see the edge of the bed. Seeing this, Lin Banxia had a smile on his face, reached out and hugged him into his arms, and said in a low voice, "Be quiet, he is resting."

Cave nodded.

Song Qingluo slept soundly, and Xiao Kuo felt bored after watching it for a while. He digged left and right, and finally found a large bottle of Coke on the bed. He glanced at Lin Banxia, although he couldn't speak, But it's clearly written on the face - can you take a sip

Lin Banxia was a little worried. He didn't know if Bone Shelf could drink Coke, but thinking about it carefully, it even ate eyeballs as snacks, and Coke didn't seem to be anything. So he hugged it, opened the lid, and handed it to Xiao Cave's mouth.

Xiaoku was very happy, and started drinking with a cola in his arms. He went for most of the time, and he planned to continue, but was stopped by Lin Banxia.

"Children can't drink too much at once." Lin Banxia pinched Xiaokuo's thin hands and feet, and whispered, "It will cause osteoporosis..."

Xiao Cave: "..." He gestured with his hands and took the pose of a strong man, probably wanting to tell Lin Banxia that it is a young and healthy bone frame, and there is no need to worry about osteoporosis, which is only for the elderly. question. Lin Banxia did understand, but he pretended not to understand and put away the Coke. Xiao Cave wilted in an instant, his bare head hanging down like a deflated balloon.

Lin Banxia patted his head, intending to comfort him, but heard someone knocking on the door, very lightly.

Thinking that it was Li Su who came, Lin Banxia didn't expect him to come so quickly. It's only been twenty minutes since he called.

Lin Banxia opened the door, and outside the door was Li Su, who was fully armed, and Li Ye also came, standing behind Li Su with an expressionless face.

"Where is it?" Li Su asked.

"Sleep in the bedroom." Lin Banxia said.

Li Su was carrying a black box in his hand. The appearance of this box was very familiar to Lin Banxia, just like the one in Song Qingluo's house. He also wore black gloves in his hands, and he moved very carefully. It seemed that there was something important in the box.

Li Su carried the suitcase into the room, then walked to Song Qingluo's side, briefly checked his physical condition, and asked Lin Banxia a few more questions. The conclusion was how Song Qingluo was injured.

"He fell from a high place." Lin Banxia replied, "I don't know if there is any internal injury... But the leg must have been broken. I wanted to take him to the hospital, but he insisted on going home."

Li Su thought for a moment: "It's not a big problem, just let him sleep for a few days. Did Shen Junyan take away the things in the amusement park?"

"Yeah." Lin Banxia nodded.

"Okay." Li Su lowered his head and took off his gloves, "That's fine." He glanced at the black box, then at Lin Banxia, and after a moment of indulgence, he said, "This box is temporarily with you, if Song If Qing Luo's state is repeated, you open the box and the password is 27263."

Lin Banxia said, "What's inside?"

Li Su glanced at Song Qingluo and smiled, "Keep it a secret for now."

Li Su explained all the other matters needing attention in detail. During the whole process, Li Ye didn't say a word. Only when he was about to leave, did he slightly nod to Lin Banxia, which could be regarded as a hit. call. Knowing Li Ye's temperament, Lin Banxia was not surprised. Seeing that the two were still carrying luggage, she asked them what they were going to do.

"Isn't this very busy recently?" Li Su said, "There is something wrong in City C, I have to go there."

Lin Banxia asked strangely, "You guys have been so busy all the time?"

"No." Li Su said, "It only started in the past few years."

"Why is this happening all of a sudden?" Lin Banxia was puzzled.

Li Su pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know what the heresy is?"

Lin Banxia shook her head.

"In fact, it is difficult to explain it with the current science. It is like a kind of radiation that will not subside, and it can be attached to all existing objects, including living things. Things that are alienated by it will have strange effects. , the radiation above will also spread further..." Li Su said, "until now, we have not found the original source of radiation."

Lin Banxia barely understood, and said, "So this kind of radiation has become more severe recently?"

"Yes." Li Su said. After he finished speaking, he glanced at the time and said, "I have to go, you remember to watch over him."

"Okay." Lin Banxia nodded, "Be careful."

Li Su and Li Ye left together.

Song Qingluo slept all day, and woke up lazily the next morning.

Lin Banxia was sitting next to him eating the sandwiches Ji Leshui bought from the convenience store. Seeing that he was awake, he asked him if he wanted to eat some too.

Song Qingluo said softly, "Is it delicious?"

"It's not delicious." Lin Banxia swallowed the food hard and said honestly, "—It's not as delicious as yours."

Song Qingluo slightly bent the corner of her eyes.

Lin Banxia said, "Does your foot still hurt? You really don't want to go to the hospital?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Song Qingluo said, "It should be almost healed."

Hearing this, Lin Banxia simply bent down and lifted the quilt, checked Song Qingluo's feet, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the ankle that had been distorted yesterday had returned to its original shape, and there was no trace of injury at all.

"It's really good." Lin Banxia was a little surprised.

Song Qingluo got up from the bed. After getting dressed, she went straight to the kitchen. Lin Banxia leaned against the door frame of the kitchen and saw him wearing an apron, and asked, "What's left in the refrigerator?"

Lin Banxia thought for a while: "It seems that there is nothing left. After a few days, the vegetables in the refrigerator are almost bad, but there are still dumplings in the freezer..."

"Make an egg dumpling." Song Qingluo said.

Lin Banxia rarely cooks. When she was in college, she had no conditions. After work, she ate in the cafeteria most of the time. He has very low requirements for food, and it is enough to be able to eat. But Song Qingluo is very different from him in this regard. He has strict requirements for food, so most of the time, he chooses to cook by himself.

The dumplings were placed on the pan and made a delicious sizzling sound. After that, cold water was poured into the pan, then the seasoned egg liquid, diced ham, chopped green onion, and a little sesame oil, and a pot of fragrant eggs. Hold the dumplings, and it's out of the pot like this.

Lin Banxia tasted one and praised Song Qingluo's craftsmanship. He said, "Who learned your cooking skills?"

Song Qingluo said, "Teach yourself."

Lin Banxia's own family is very special, and he hardly mentions his family, but when he thinks about it carefully, Song Qingluo's background is obviously more complicated than his. see any friends around.

Lin Banxia hesitated for a moment, but swallowed the question. There are some things that the person concerned doesn't want to say, so it's better not to ask, so as not to add embarrassment. He was a little distracted, and he didn't even hear the phone ringing, but Song Qingluo patted his arm lightly and raised his chin towards the phone before he could react.

Lin Banxia glanced at the screen and found that it was an unfamiliar number.

He was about to pick up the phone, but Song Qingluo said, "It may be a harassing call, turn on the speakerphone."

Lin Banxia didn't think much about it, hummed, and pressed the speakerphone.

"Hello." There was a middle-aged man's voice on the other end of the phone, with a thick accent, he said, "Is it Pinellia?"

Lin Banxia said, "Yes."

The man said, "When are you coming back? Your aunt is dying. She called you last month, didn't you agree? Why haven't you come back?" His tone was a little cautious at first, but who knows As he spoke, he became irritable, and there were intermittent dialects mixed with it. Song Qingluo could not understand, but guessed that it might be some curse words.

According to common sense, ordinary people should have been angry when they heard these words, but Lin Banxia's expression was very calm, and the calmness was a bit abnormal. He responded while eating the dumplings in the bowl. If he looked carefully, he would find that he was wandering around the world. Although he said it well, he didn't listen at all.

The man scolded again, and finally got tired, and said, "I know you have a grudge against you when you were young, but it's not easy for your aunt to drag you to such a big place. You're promising, even if you don't come back, you should get some money..."

Song Qingluo frowned.

Lin Banxia still didn't respond, and said yes.

The man said: "Then remember, come back as soon as possible." After he finished saying this, he hung up the phone. Lin Banxia didn't even glance at the phone, all her attention was on the dumplings in front of her, her face full of food. The color of happiness.

Song Qingluo said, "Who is he?"

Lin Banxia raised her head: "Who is who?"

Song Qingluo tapped on the phone with her fingers.

Lin Banxia glanced at the phone, and his expression turned blank for two seconds. He tried hard to find the answer to Song Qingluo's question, but in the end he failed. I remember." He looked nervous, but he didn't seem to be lying, "No name, is it a spam call?"

Song Qingluo looked at him silently.

Lin Banxia was a little flustered by Song Qingluo's eyes, and asked tentatively, "What's wrong?"

Song Qingluo said, "This call... is from your uncle."

Lin Banxia's face suddenly turned ugly. He pursed his lips and smiled bitterly: "It turned out that he called."

Song Qingluo said, "Your cousin is their daughter? Have you been in contact with her recently?"

"No." Lin Banxia said, "I haven't contacted her since graduating from university." He was a little lost and his voice lowered.

Song Qingluo pondered for a moment: "No contact at all?"

"No." Lin Banxia said, "because she was close to me, my family didn't like her, and sometimes I was beaten because of me. When I was in college, I would occasionally try to send her something. , after graduation, there is no contact at all." He said, barely regaining his strength, "but I made an agreement with her that when she finishes high school and I have a fixed residence, I will pick her up. Come out and live with me." That's why he works so hard to make money. His childhood experiences made it difficult for him to feel secure. Only when he firmly grasped what he could control would he feel at ease.

Song Qingluo said, "Aren't you planning to go back recently?"

Lin Banxia said, "Recently?"

Song Qingluo said, "I've made money and I have a house, so I can go and see her."

This is quite reasonable, and Lin Banxia should agree, but every time he thinks of going back there, he can't help but want to escape, as if a part of his brain is broken, and everything involved in his hometown is destroyed. The memories are all blocked. If it wasn't for Song Qingluo's reminder, he wouldn't even realize that this was a call from his uncle.

"Then, I'll find time to go back and have a look." Lin Banxia's expression was a little reluctant.

"I can accompany you." Song Qingluo said, "Just the two of us."

Lin Banxia said, "You also want to go back with me? What about your work?"

Song Qingluo said, "I don't have to work every day. Besides, after high-intensity work, wouldn't it be a good time to take a break?"

Lin Banxia thought about it too. When she thought that Song Qingluo would accompany her, she felt a lot better. He tried his best to smile, trying to be more relaxed: "Well then, after a while, my unit and I will invite you to someone else. Fake, let's go see it together."

Song Qingluo looked at Lin Banxia and nodded lightly.

During this time, Lin Banxia had skipped work a lot. Fortunately, he signed a new agreement with the unit leader, otherwise he would have been fired long ago. He had been in class for a week and started planning to go back to his hometown.

About ten days later, a video was sent about heresy in the amusement park, and Song Qingluo and Lin Banxia watched it together. Several students who got out alive from the playground also appeared in the video, and they described the whole incident in detail from their own perspective. Lin Banxia saw Xiao Weiqi. Compared with a dozen days ago, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight and looked a little nervous. He said that Shen Qingyi had already died, not on the roller coaster, but outside the amusement park, in a sudden car accident. Everyone didn't associate the car accident with the accident in the amusement park, presumably because the car accident happened every day, so ordinary, people didn't notice it at all. Therefore, no one would have thought that at the moment of Shen Qingyi's death, the handkerchief she was holding in her hand that she wanted to give to Xiao Weiqi as a gift was alienated.

The game of the amusement park began. Shen Qingyi, as a companion, also appeared in the game, and changed the heresy—

In the second half of the video, the blood-red handkerchief also got its own serial number 53475. About a dozen people participated in the test, but none of them successfully triggered the effect of the handkerchief.

Probably because of this reason, the handkerchief has not been sealed yet. Song Qingluo said that only after obtaining detailed data can the heretics be sealed, otherwise the experiment will continue.

Lin Banxia was taken aback and said, "So complicated?"

"It's alright." Song Qingluo said, "After all, most of them are dangerous items. Of course, some may have other functions, so of course we need to check them out."

This makes sense. Lin Banxia thought of Shen Junyan, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is Shen Junyan also a companion?"

Song Qingluo said: "Yes, the companion of the heretical thing with the code name 49294 has unlimited life and recovery ability, and can also use part of the ability of 49294."

Lin Banxia gave a long snort and praised, "Then she's fine."

"What a good thing." Song Qingluo laughed at Shen Junyan, "Because of her special nature, every time I work with her, I'm basically a novice recorder. It's easier to kill someone while doing a task than to drink water."

Lin Banxia felt that it was quite reasonable.

"How is your leave?" Song Qingluo brought up the matter of going home again. I don't know if it was Lin Banxia's delusion, Song Qingluo seemed to be full of interest in his hometown.

"Please, I'm busy this week, let's go back next week." Lin Banxia said, "There is no plane there, so we can only go back by train."

"It doesn't matter." Song Qingluo said it didn't matter.

Even though he had already decided to go home, he had to say that Lin Banxia was really not very keen on this matter. For some reason, the thought of returning to the hometown where he had left made him feel frustrated for no apparent reason. Thinking about it carefully, it is not surprising. After all, Lin Banxia's memories of his childhood hometown are not very pleasant, although most of the content has been almost forgotten.

After the summer, the weather gradually warmed up, and Lin Banxia put on short sleeves. After the amusement park incident, Song Qingluo had been resting at home and slept almost all day. When Lin Banxia came home, he saw him dozing off on the sofa, holding Xiaokuo in his arms.

Xiao Cave is a sticky little skeleton frame. When he and Song Qingluo are away, they stick to Ji Leshui. In short, there are always people around. At this moment, it was held in Song Qingluo's arms, humming and chirping. Seeing that Lin Banxia was back, he quickly stretched out his hand and looked pitiful as he begged Lin Banxia to save it quickly.

Song Qingluo's sleep has always been very light. As soon as Lin Banxia arrived home, he woke up with half-open eyes and a hazy sleepiness all over his face.

"It's so hot today." Lin Banxia pulled her neckline and said, "I'll buy an air conditioner in two days." In the past, in order to save money, he was not willing to buy an air conditioner.

Song Qingluo snorted, holding Xiaokuo and still didn't let go. Xiaokuo twisted and twisted in his arms. After twisting for a while, he finally broke free and ran to Lin Banxia's feet. Side, opened his mouth and pointed to his own mouth with a finger.

Lin Banxia understood, went to the refrigerator and took out a frozen jelly, bent down and stuffed it into Xiaodong's mouth.

Song Qingluo sat on the sofa watching, and said softly, "It can't eat too many snacks."

Lin Banxia said, "Ah? What will happen if I eat it?"

Song Qingluo: "Waste."

Lin Banxia: "..." Boss, why are you more real than me? He couldn't help laughing, took out the Coke he bought from the supermarket from the shopping bag, and handed it to Song Qingluo: "Ice."

Song Qingluo took it and drank most of it in one gulp, squinting her eyes contentedly.

Lin Banxia said, "I'll take my leave and leave next Wednesday. Let's go out to eat tonight. By the way, I will also call Ji Leshui."

Song Qingluo agreed.

Lin Banxia went to take a shower, then went to sleep again. When she woke up again, it was already afternoon. He slowly put on a T-shirt, and Song Qingluo called Ji Leshui and his party out to find a food stall to make skewers.

The weather has been getting warmer these days, and the business of the food stalls is getting better.

Ji Leshui was still not used to the generosity of his friend, and strongly doubted whether Lin Banxia was engaged in some illegitimate career with the boss. If it is true, please bring him with him.

Lin Banxia smiled and said, "You can't do it."

Ji Leshui said, "Why can't I do it?"

Lin Banxia said, "Whatever happens, you will bark like a chicken."

Ji Leshui sneered: "Don't insult the chicken, the chicken is not as loud as I do."

Lin Banxia: "..." That's fine too.

The barbecue here is very good, especially the fresh beef and mutton. Lin Banxia ordered a cold beer, and the three of them enjoyed it very much. Just halfway through the meal, Song Qingluo suddenly answered a phone call, not knowing what was said on the other end of the phone, Lin Banxia saw that Song Qingluo's expression was obviously cold. He said yes and hung up the phone.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Lin Banxia said, "What's wrong?"

Song Qingluo said, "Something happened over there."

Lin Banxia wanted to ask something, but considering that Ji Leshui was still present, she didn't ask any further. Song Qingluo said, "You guys eat, I'll go first." He stood up and hesitated for a moment, "Don't eat for too long, it might rain later."

Ji Leshui raised his head and glanced at the sky. From this morning, it has been a sunny and sunny day. At this moment, the sun has just set, and the afterglow of the sunset can still be seen on the horizon. There is not a trace of clouds, and it doesn't look like it is going to rain.

"Can it rain in this weather?" Ji Leshui was a little unconvinced, "It shouldn't be."

Lin Banxia felt that Song Qingluo would never aim for nothing: "Anyway, we've almost eaten, so go back first?"

Ji Leshui said, "Also..."

Lin Banxia ate two more bites, settled the bill, and the two started to walk back. When passing the convenience store next to them, Ji Leshui went in and bought two ice creams, ate one for himself, and stuffed the other into Lin Ban's. Xia's mouth.

"Are you planning to go back to your hometown next week?" Ji Leshui asked.

"Well." Lin Banxia said.

"How long are you going to go?" Ji Leshui asked.

"A week." Lin Banxia said, "It will take a day or two to go back, and then go to my sister's school to see it, and it will be almost the same."

Ji Leshui said: "Then you pay attention to safety."

The two were nibbling on popsicles, and as soon as they reached the gate of the community, they heard a sudden light in the sky, followed by continuous thunder, like a tide coming from a distance.

The author has something to say:

Song Qingluo: What I said is 100% accurate.

Lin Banxia: Well... it really rained.

Song Qingluo: Lin Banxia will fall in love with me.

Lin Banxia: 0.0? !
