his little stutter

Xu Zhao was in a drowsy sleep when Li Yun woke him up. She opened the door and called him, "Huaisheng, Huaisheng, get up quickly, a classmate is looking for you."

Xu Zhao turned over, closed his eyes, and said hoarsely, "Who is it?"

"The one who came back to our house last time, that Katsuo." Li Yun asked softly, "I asked him to come in but he refused and insisted on waiting outside. You said it was a cold day."

Katsuo...

Xu Zhao closed his eyes and thought about it, then sat up suddenly, "What about others?"

"Outside." Seeing him getting up, Li Yun went to open the curtains and said, "I said you were asleep, so I asked him to come in and wait, but he refused. ..."

Li Yun turned around nagging, stunned for a moment, where is he?

Xu Zhao arrived at the door with the speed of the wind.

Sure enough, Yu Nan was already there. He was wearing a short black cotton coat, a khaki scarf, and ordinary black trousers, making his legs look slender.

He turned around when he heard the movement, and smiled, "I still woke you up, why don't you sleep more."

Xu Zhao rubbed his neck and smiled, "Why did you come so early?"

The temperature in the morning was low, and when Yu Nan spoke, white mist kept coming out of his mouth, "Wake up early, it's here."

Xu Zhao was cold, he casually put on a coat and came down, shaking his body, he pulled Yu Nan's wrist, "You're not cold, why are you still standing outside?"

While talking, he took him inside, "Come in, it's freezing."

Yu Nan followed him in, the central heating was turned on in the living room, it was many times warmer than outside, Xu Zhao pulled him to the sofa and sat down, "Wait for me, a few minutes, come right away."

He hurriedly washed up, and wanted to change his hairstyle to a handsome one, but Yu Nan was outside, and he was afraid that he would have to wait for a long time, so he had to make do with his usual curly hair.

This hairstyle is difficult for ordinary people to hold, but Xu Zhao has good facial features and a good face shape. With this hairstyle on his head, it is like adding wings to a tiger.

When he finished it, Yu Nan was flipping through a financial magazine on the table, when he saw Xu Zhao coming out, he raised his head and said, "Finished?"

Xu Zhao straightened his clothes and came over, "It's almost there."

Seeing him flipping through the book, he lowered his head and asked casually, "Do you like reading this?"

This financial magazine is called "Yi Yi Cai Cai", which is run by the editorial department of Bihua. A person with a head and a face, who can get on the stage with status and status, Ge Yisong's mother was once featured in this financial magazine.

The side that Yu Nan turned to now happened to be the first side, on the simplified page was a man in a suit, his appearance was somewhat similar to Xu Zhao's, especially the nose, which looked like it was carved out of a picture.

On the side, there are striking blue bold characters - "The resourcefulness of a business genius and his Empire State Building".

Under the eye-catching title, there is a series of introductions: Xu Feng, 28 years old, graduated from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania in the United States. He started his business at the age of 18. Since then, his business empire has taken shape. In ten years, he has grown from being single to engaging in international trade. It has developed into diversified fields such as real estate development, hotels, and chemical technology.

It seems that the magazine also personally invited Xu Feng himself. From the first page to the third page, all reporters asked Xu Feng questions, and most of Xu Feng's answers were asking him about business and finance. Xu Feng The answer is serious and specific, but it does not involve privacy.

Yu Nan said "Yes", "Just take a look."

Then he asked, "Is this your brother?"

He only met Xu Feng once, and only glanced at him a few times. He didn't remember his face clearly, but he looked like him in magazines, and his surname was Xu, so it should be him.

Xu Zhao took a piece of bread from the dining table, chewed and said, "Well, he often appears in this kind of magazine."

"What's the matter?" Xu Zhao sat over and said, "Are you interested in finance?"

"No." Yu Nan smiled, "I just think your brother is very smart, and he studied abroad at a very early age?"

"Well, it's quite early, I went after graduating from high school." Xu Zhao said.

"It's very early, haven't you come back?"

Yu Nan turned a page and asked while laughing.

"Come back, come back from winter and summer vacation." Xu Zhao said.

Yu Nan looked quickly, and was stunned when his eyes swept to the bottom.

That was the last question the reporter asked.

"Mr. Xu, regarding your annexation of TMT Company, which caused TMT Chairman Mr. Li Da to commit suicide by jumping off the building, what do you think of this matter?"

Xu Feng: "Many people have asked me about this matter. I personally think that mergers, acquisitions, etc. are just a kind of corporate strengthening behavior in the commercial society. It is impossible for a good entrepreneur to focus on it. As for Mr. Li jumping from the building, I have never thought about it, but I don’t think it has anything to do with me, for example, a gust of wind blows down a tree trunk and kills a person, so why should it be blamed for the wind blowing past?”

This incident caused quite a stir in the business world. Many people accused Xu Feng of being too ruthless, but even Xu Feng himself never thought about forcing people to such a dead end.

He only pays attention to the word "fast" in doing things, and never pays attention to the word "ruthless".

After the accident, he gave 100 million to Li Da's family as a compensation for the incident.

"Your brother is different from you." Yu Nan put down the book and said.

"Many people have said this. He is him and I am me. I don't like or envy his achievements."

Yu Nan shook her head, "No, I don't mean that."

Xu Zhao had almost finished eating, he didn't like chatting brother, so he stood up and pulled Yunan, "Don't talk about my brother, let's go out, if you like this book, I'll give it to you."

Yu Nan smiled and stood up, "No need, I just took a look."

Parked outside the gate was Yu Nan's antique car, Xu Zhao sat on it and asked, "Where are we going?"

Yu Nan rode aimlessly, "I don't know, let's go to the city to have a look. I didn't have breakfast, so I'll go later, how about some food?"

"Okay." Xu Zhao didn't eat much, he was in a hurry to leave, so he just ordered some toast and finished it.

Yu Nan rode very slowly, and when he arrived in the urban area, it was almost nine o'clock, the sun was shining brightly and warming his body, and many breakfast shops were still open.

Yu Nan randomly stopped in front of a breakfast shop that looked pretty good, he turned around and asked Xu Zhao, "How's this one?"

Xu Zhao said, "I don't care. It depends on you. If you want to eat here, we will eat here."

"That's it."

Once inside, there were not many people inside, just in twos and threes, with menus posted on the side, Yu Nan said, "What do you want to eat?"

Xu Zhao glanced at the menu. They were all classic Jiangnan snacks, wontons, noodles, and dumplings.

He wasn't particularly interested in eating, so he just ordered the cheapest one, "Then let's have a bowl of small wontons."

"Are you full?" Yu Nan asked.

"I'm full, and I made some extra food in the morning." Xu Zhao said with a smile.

Yu Nan nodded and walked to the counter, "Two bowls of small wontons."

"Ten dollars."

Yu Nan handed over the money and took the ticket, Xu Zhao had already found a seat.

He leaned on the table and looked at Yu Nan with a smile, "Are you going to take care of me the whole time today?"

Yu Nan took out two pieces of paper and smiled slightly, "Look at your performance."

After finishing speaking, he grabbed his wrist and lifted it up, and put the paper on the table under his elbow, "Table oil."

Xu Zhao didn't mind either, and smiled, "Then how should I behave?"

"Be good, be obedient." Yu Nan said.

"In our whole family, I listen to you the most." Xu Zhaochun said with a pure face.

Yu Nan smiled softly, "The whole family?"

"Yeah." Xu Zhao nodded and smiled meaningfully, "You will soon join this big family, right? My man?"

"It's really yours." Yu Nan lowered her head and smiled.

"Whose two bowls of small wontons?" the boss asked.

"Here." Xu Zhao beckoned.

Smoking little wontons came up quickly, Yu Nan took a bowl from the boss and put it in front of Xu Zhao, then took another bowl before putting it in front of herself.

It was a little hot, Yu Nan copied it, let off the heat, scooped up some more and put them in Xu Zhao's bowl.

Xu Zhao said, "What are you doing, there are not many in total."

Yu Nan said, "It's okay, you can eat more."

Xu Zhao laughed twice, "Are you really supporting me?"

"En." Yu Nan lowered his head and took a sip of the soup.

Xu Zhao smiled, "It's very expensive to take care of me."

"How expensive is it?"

Xu Zhao followed Yu Nan's lead and copied, "It must be at least 1000 million."

Yu Nan nodded, "Understood."

Xu Zhao didn't know what he meant, so he laughed, "Hey, I'm joking with you, if it was you..." He scooped up a spoonful of wontons and said, "One bowl of wontons is enough. "

Yu Nan smiled, "So easy to buy?"

"Because it's you." Xu Zhao replied with a smile while eating.

When they came out, the sun was still warm and many shops had already opened, Yu Nan took Xu Zhao aimlessly to ride forward, they didn't know where to go, they just thought that the two of them should stay together during such a rare good time.

After riding for a short time, Yu Nan stopped at a traffic light.

Someone happened to be handing out leaflets nearby, and these people got used to handing out flyers, so they slipped a leaflet into Yu Nan's car basket without asking him if he wanted it or not.

Yu Nan pulled it out to look at it, and it said "exciting adventure, original theme, waiting for you to try."

There is also a picture below, it looks like a secret room adventure game, Yu Nan thought it was quite interesting, he passed the leaflet to Xu Zhao, "What do you think of this?"

Xu Zhao glanced, "A secret room adventure?"

"Yeah." Yu Nan said, "Go?"

"Okay, let's go then."

There was an address printed under the leaflet, and Yu Nan and Xu Zhao passed by quickly.

It was in an office building. When the door was opened, the proprietress at the counter was eating noodles. When she saw someone coming, she quickly wiped her mouth and asked, "What theme do you want to play?"

There are many boards hanging on the wall, with pictures and texts, all of which introduce the theme. Yu Nan glanced at it and asked Xu Zhao, "Which one do you want to play?"

Xu Zhao glanced at him, "Just chase the murderer in the daytime, and solve the case, right?"

"It's for solving the case." The proprietress turned on the computer and pressed the keyboard a few times, "Oh, I'm sorry, this theme has been opened now, and the next one is 40 minutes later, do you want to choose another one?"

"Let's go treasure hunting in the ancient castle." Yu Nan looked around and chose one of the same type.

The proprietress smiled awkwardly, "I'm really sorry, we only open this theme from Monday to Friday, why don't you look at other ones?"

Xu Zhao became impatient, "Just tell me which ones you can choose."

The proprietress smiled awkwardly, and clicked the mouse while answering, "There are still Youyuan House and Mickey Mouse Wonderful House left, but Mickey Mouse Wonderful House needs four people to open it, and two people may need to wait."

"Then the old house." Yu Nan turned to ask Xu Zhao, "What do you think?"

Xu Zhao stared at the words "Ancient House of Resentment—Horror" on the board, feeling a little dizzy. When Yu Nan called him, his face froze, and he froze for a few seconds before replying, "Okay, okay."

"One hundred per person, how do I pay?" The proprietress clicked on the keyboard.

"Cash." Yu Nan said while handing over the money.

The proprietress took the money, took the key and a walkie-talkie, and handed it to Yu Nan, "Hold it, come with me."

The proprietress unlocked the door, opened the door and said, "You have to unlock all the codes within an hour, remember to use the walkie-talkie if there is anything inside."

"Okay." Yu Nan took it.

"Then go in quickly, I'm going to lock the door." The proprietress said.

Xu Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and he looked into the darkened door and said, "Yeah, are you still locking the door?"

"Of course the door has to be locked, the game in the secret room, why is it still called the secret room if you don't lock the door? Go in, the game has already started." The lady boss pushed Yu Nan and Xu Zhao in as she spoke.

It was a very small space, roughly estimated to be only about ten square meters, with a cold wind blowing overhead, no lights, and the room was pitch black, only a few numbers on the wall glowing with dark red lights.

On the left hand side of Xu Zhao is a memorial tablet. On the wall in front of him is a portrait of a dead person. It is black and white. It is a man. He is looking at Xu Zhao and smiling. There are obvious bloodstains on his face. The whole atmosphere looks eerie. .

Xu Zhao was about to faint. He was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid of ghosts.

God knows how scared he is, but no one knows this secret except himself, and Xu Zhao himself deliberately does not let others find out, he feels ashamed to tell it, and he, Xu Zhao, is afraid of such unreasonable things.

But now he is really scared.

Yu Nan had already walked up to the tablet, he knelt down, picked up the tablet to observe, and said while looking at it, "The tomb of pine nuts in Kawashima, there is a combination lock on it, I think, it has something to do with the numbers on the wall."

As he spoke, he glanced and saw Xu Zhao still standing there, "What are you doing, come here quickly."

Xu Zhao was struggling, he took a deep breath, walked over, walked to Yu Nan's side, looked away, didn't dare to look at the memorial tablet, and asked casually, "Do you think there will be ghosts here?"

Yu Nan was observing the tablet, and suddenly smiled, "What do you think, what nonsense?"

Xu Zhaoqian laughed twice to conceal his panic, "Yes, yes."

He didn't dare to face the memorial tablet, his eyes turned away, and when he saw the smiling man, his scalp almost stood on end.

The movements of the whole person seemed to have slowed down dozens of times. He hugged Yu Nan's arm, "Did you notice anything?"

"Go and get the photo of the man behind." Yu Nan said with her head down.

"Take a photo?" Xu Zhao didn't dare to look up at the man's face.

"Well, it should be related to this memorial tablet. Look, it says, please put my photo in front of you." Yu Nan said.

"Could there be something?" Xu Zhao is not afraid to take the photo, and he can still get it if he persists. He is just afraid that there will be some mechanism. If he takes it and something suddenly jumps out, he will definitely be scared. half dead.

"It's possible, be careful." Yu Nan said seriously.

Xu Zhao didn't dare to pass because of this possibility, so he made an excuse, "It's too dark, I can't see, you go, I'll see if there's anything else I haven't found on this tablet."

Yu Nan didn't ask any more questions and went over to get it. He placed it in front of the memorial tablet, only to hear a "pop", and a piece of wood fell down.

Xu Zhao was obviously taken aback, and he shook.

Yu Nan asked, "What's the matter?"

Xu Zhao's face was disturbed, "It's okay, I just had a leg cramp."

"Cramp, why are you shaking?"

"Shaking, shaking cramps."

Yu Nan didn't ask again, and analyzed seriously, "The number on the wall is 11.10, and the number on the tablet is 1937. This should be that this person died. The time and password should be related to this time. Let me try it." .”

Xu Zhao was afraid that something strange would happen if he clicked on the password, so he quickly pretended to be curious and asked, "Do you think there will be any corpses here?"

He stared at the big box under the man's photo. There was a reason for the way things were placed here. He couldn't believe that there was nothing in such a big box.

"I don't know, just try and find out."

While talking, Yu Nan pressed the password of 371110, and then suddenly a man's voice appeared, loud and sudden.

Xu Zhao was so surprised that he trembled, he couldn't pretend anymore, and hugged Yu Nan with his hands up and down.

Yu Nan was originally squatting, but when he burrowed into it so suddenly, he fell backward due to lack of gravity, Xu Zhao buried his head in his arms regardless, and said in a very loud voice with strong panic, "What is it? .”

The man's voice was really abrupt, too sudden, and the voice was faint, like a voice from a phonograph: "On this day, November 1937, 11, blood was destined to be sprinkled on the entire Kawashima family under the guidance of fate. When are you going to pay back the things owed to the Kawashima family, and how are you going to return my body to me?"

Yu Nan was bumped into his arms, only then did he realize that Xu Zhao is afraid of ghosts.

In fact, Xu Zhao's fear of ghosts has a bit of history. Before kindergarten, he was really fearless. Lin Zhengying's zombie movies, midnight bells, and people under the bed. Although he didn't like to watch them, he couldn't even raise his eyebrows when he saw them. Blink, if you want to put his current appearance in the past, he will almost be laughed to death by himself in elementary school.

It was when he was just over eight years old when he was in the first grade of elementary school. He was still young at that time, but he was very impressed, because the school report was due to start the next day.

His family didn't live in Beiyuan at that time, and Xu Feng didn't come back once every year when he started his business. There were only him and Aunt Yun at home, and he slept in the same room all year round.

That night, he was lying on the bed and was about to fall asleep when he suddenly heard some movement outside the window. There was no moonlight that night and it was very dark.

He saw a dark figure outside the window, standing in front of the window with his teeth and claws open, and kept screaming "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo". a dead man.

This incident has always left a shadow on his mind, and since then Xu Zhao has been afraid of ghosts.

"Are you afraid?" Yu Nan asked softly.

Xu Zhao didn't dare to move, his heart was still hanging on it, "Don't ask, don't ask."

"Scared, why come in?" Yu Nan hugged him and patted his shoulder lightly.

"If you want to play, I'm sure, and I'll come with you." Xu Zhao still didn't dare to look up.

"Actually, I don't have to play." Yu Nan was still patting Xu Zhao.

Yu Nan sat on the ground leaning against the wall, Xu Zhao leaned into his arms, hugged him very tightly, very tight, he could feel Xu Zhao's fear, his voice was trembling, and his eyes were closed. Very tight, this is Xu Zhao he had never seen before.

In my impression, Xu Zhao is always bohemian and high-spirited. He is invincible and invincible.

As for the current Xu Zhao, Yu Nan has never felt like this for a moment that he needs him so much.

He was so scared that he wanted to follow him in.

Yu Nan thought about it, smiled gently, and patted Xu Zhao, "Don't be nervous, there is nothing."

"I know I can't be nervous, but I can't help it, I'm just scared." Xu Zhao replied in Yu Nan's arms.

Anyway, Yu Nan knew about it, so Xu Zhao simply didn't want to maintain his image of being invincible.

"Okay, let's stand up first." Yu Nan said

Xu Zhao stood up slowly, "When can we go out?"

Yu Nan said, "I don't know."

Xu Zhao kept holding his arm, Yu Nan could see that he was really scared.

Yu Nan pressed the intercom, "Please open the door, we won't play anymore."

Xu Zhao quickly pressed his hand, "Why don't you play anymore?"

Yu Nan smiled and didn't explain, "It's boring, let's go out."

Xu Zhao also guessed the reason, he was a little guilty, he took a long way to come here, but he was disappointed because of himself.

"Let's play, keep playing." Xu Zhao pretended to be calm and said, "I'm actually, actually, fine."

"Forget it." Yu Nan knew that Xu Zhao was trying to be brave.

The voice of the proprietress came from the walkie-talkie, "This door can't be solved, you have to wait 60 minutes, or you can solve the mystery before you can open it, don't give up halfway, the money is spent, play slowly."

After speaking, there was no sound.

"To solve the mystery..." Yu Nan said to Xu Zhao.

"Then solve it quickly." Xu Zhao's face was disturbed.

Yu Nan looked down at Xu Zhao who didn't intend to let go in front of him, amused, "You're like this, how can I solve it?"

"Oh, good." Xu Zhao hid behind his back, wrapped his arms around his waist, leaned against him, and buried his face in his back.

Like a koala, Yu Nan clings to him wherever he goes.

Yu Nan returned to the memorial tablet, and the box that unlocked the code was opened, and there was a picture of a woman inside, a woman in a kimono.

Seeing that Yu Nan didn't move, Xu Zhao said, "What, what is it?"

Yu Nan analyzed it carefully, "It's a photo, it should be related to the photo of the man behind."

He said holding the photo and walked back, Xu Zhao didn't dare to move, he stuck to Yu Nan, "Where are you going?"

"Go over there and have a look." Yu Nan said to comfort Xu Zhao, he turned around and led him to the door, "Wait here for me, don't move around."

"What are you doing?" Xu Zhao's face flustered.

"I'm going to solve the riddle."

If he wanted to leave here, he could only quickly solve the mystery, but with Xu Zhao by his side, Yu Nan couldn't calm down.

"Okay, hurry up." Xu Zhao said close to the door.

Yu Nan walked to the back of the photo, and found a recessed place behind the hanging photo. The rectangular shape was probably related to the wooden board that fell just now. He walked over to pick up the wooden board on the ground.

Xu Zhao leaned against the door, standing tremblingly, with a gust of wind above his head, and there were dead faces falling on the ground, he called Yu Nan in a panic, "Yu Nan, how are you?"

Yu Nan said, "Soon."

"What are you doing?" Xu Zhao was afraid that in case some mechanism was activated and something would jump out, it would be difficult for him not to be frightened if he was not mentally prepared.

"I'm looking for a switch." Yu Nan said while inserting the piece of wood into the recess.

"I'd better come here. I'm alone and panicking. This place is too gloomy." Xu Zhao walked over cautiously.

"Then come here." Yu Nan pressed hard, and the board was successfully embedded.

Suddenly I heard the sound of something opening.

A black shadow, something like a ball, just landed on Xu Zhao's shoulder.

Xu Zhao didn't dare to move anymore, he looked at Yu Nan with a stiff face, his speech was slowed down, "Is it...something fell on my shoulder."

Yu Nan turned around and saw something on Xu Zhao's shoulder, and hurriedly said, "Don't move, don't move, I'll come over."

"I...don't...move." Xu Zhao's hairs stood on end, "you... hurry up... come here."

With a sound of "dong", the wooden board above Xu Zhao's head opened, and a person fell suddenly, suspended in mid-air, standing upside down. It was a simulated human being, and it was made very realistic. Because of standing upside down, all the long hair hangs down. When he got down, Xu Zhao saw his terrifying face.

For a moment, his mind was stunned, and then he yelled "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Yu Nan hurried over, hugged him, patted his face and called him, "Xu Zhao, Xu Zhao."

Xu Zhao was really dizzy, and he was really scared. In a dark and airtight room, he wasn't afraid of the dark, and he wasn't afraid of the dead. He was afraid of ghosts.

But in an open space, he would not be so afraid.

Here, it reminded him of that night when he was a child.His palms were sweating with fear.

Yu Nan held his hand tightly, "Wake up, Xu Zhao."

Yu Nan has always been calm, but Xu Zhao's sudden appearance, there is really no way to make him feel at ease.

He pressed the intercom, "Open the door, hurry up, someone has passed out."

As a result, no one responded.

Yu Nan pinched Xu Zhao's people, "Xu Zhao, Xu Zhao, I'm here, Xu Zhao, don't be afraid, Xu Zhao, Xu Zhao..."

He kept calling Xu Zhao's name, pinching and shouting.

Sure enough, this acupuncture point was effective, and Xu Zhao woke up soon.

He raised his eyes slowly, and found that he was in Yu Nan's arms, and now they were still in the secret room.

He didn't dare to move his eyes anymore, he grabbed Yu Nan's shoulder tightly, "Hurry up, let's go."
