Strange Story of Strange House

Ever since the glimpse on the top floor of the dormitory, that "little brother" has disappeared from Lin Chi's life.

Lou Qi's work at hand came to an end, and Yun Bao also ended his daily life with Lin Chi between the school and the noodle shop at two o'clock and one line every day, but he did not lose contact with his little playmates because of this.

Lin Chi still heard Yun Bao mention "little brother" from time to time, but he thought the child was nostalgic for the past and couldn't forget his playmates, so he didn't take it to heart.It wasn't until one day when I asked by chance that Rainbow Dash still played with that child every day.

Yun Bao is always different from ordinary people, and Lou Qi did not treat him with the same care and caution as children of the same age. Normally, Yun Bao lay on his father's lap and asked to go out to play. Lou Qi Rarely disagree.

By the time Lin Chi found out, several months had passed since the unexpected encounter on the top floor.

Seeing that Lin Chi was worried, Yun Bao took him to the place where she met her "little brother" every day.It was an unremarkable piece of grass outside the school. It was not big, but it was enough for two children to play, and it was close to the noodle shop, just a few steps away. As a place for children to play, there was nothing wrong with it.

After walking around the field, Lin Chi felt relieved.With Lin Chi's approval, Yun Bao's small life is more comfortable, and Lin Chi is asked to take him home from time to time because he has forgotten the time.

The number of times he went there, Lin Chi naturally saw that child, but he found that he didn't like Rainbow Dash's first playmate as much as he imagined. The boy's pale complexion and gloomy temperament always made him feel a little uncomfortable. Comfortable.

Lin Chi secretly reprimanded himself for provoking a child's troubles, while Yun Bao didn't know anything about his father's entanglements. He took the boy's hand and ran over with a "clack clack" and then looked excitedly at him. Lin Chi said, "Daddy, this is the little brother."

"Little brother, this is my daddy, and I have a taller and more handsome daddy." Rainbow Dash leaned close to the boy's ear and said loudly, completely ignoring what this handsome daddy who didn't want to pray for was tall and handsome. feel.

Later, when Lin Chi went to pick up Yun Bao, he also ran into the boy's mother. His mother looked very young and had a dignified and generous demeanor. Every time Lin Chi went to pick up Yun Bao, she would smile at him.

Not long after, Lin Chi found out the mother's name by chance. Her name was Lu Yin, and she was a senior student majoring in Human Resource Management at S University.

***

Lu Yin thought, this child must be a gift from God.

Everyone thought she was crazy, she was over-stimulated and had mental problems, even her boyfriend Xu Zihao thought so.She admits that at one point she couldn't accept the loss of her child, so she pretended that the child was still there, by her side.

They kept telling her that the child was gone, but she persisted—just as she had insisted on keeping the child.She insists that her baby is by her side.Fortunately, Xu Zihao loves her very much, even though she is so self-willed, Xu Zihao still persists without a trace of impatience.Lu Yin felt that this man was worthy of her lifetime promise.

For the existence of this child, she was so convinced that even God felt sorry for her losing her most important child as a new mother, so he sent her a big gift.

At the beginning, she was very aware of her self-deception, but gradually, she found that when she was talking to the child, there would be some noises from the empty corner, as if her poor child was responding to her.

Staring at that corner for a long time, you can see a mass of twisted air. When she called it baby, the air twisted more violently, as if it was responding to her happily.

She didn't know how long she had passed in a daze, and she actually saw her child—a boy of four or five years old, with pale skin and wearing a loose shirt—it was the boy she had met in the toilet of the teaching building !

It turns out that he is her child, no wonder he came out to stop her at that time, he... wants to be her child too!

Lu Yin hugged the boy distressedly, he wished so much to be her child, but she accidentally lost him.Fortunately, God was merciful and sent her child back to her side again.

Lu Yin was very guilty, she desperately wanted to make up for everything the child lost, so she bought a lot of things for the child, small clothes and shoes... all of them were burned to her child, even if there was a difference between people and ghosts, she would Take good care of her baby.

——This is what she lost and found again, precious child.

Because he was worried about her condition, Xu Zihao was always by her side these days, but she knew that Xu Zihao couldn't see the child, how pitiful, even though he was the child's father, he couldn't see his own child.

At that moment, Lu Yin suddenly felt an inexplicable little joy——Zihao, our child, is indeed closer to my mother.

On this day, Lu Yin bought a bunch of baby products online, and she closed the webpage contentedly after the payment was successful.

The baby seems to have made a good friend recently, and he is now playing with his little friend. Lu Yin checked the time, and it was time to pick him up and go home.She stood up and patted the non-existent dust on her skirt, picked up the key and went out the door.

The faculty and staff dormitory that Lu Yin rented was close to the west gate of the school. When she exited the gate, she turned right. She found her child on a lawn with ease. The baby was holding a younger boy by the hand. The two were talking and laughing, looking like Very happy.

Seeing this, Lu Yin smiled with relief, but then she frowned. She even forgot to name her child, so how would her child introduce herself to other children?

"Mom!" Lu Yin, who was deep in thought, heard the child's cry, and hurriedly raised a smile at the baby, and then watched the baby politely send his younger brother back to his parents. He was a very fair boy, and it was easy to feel sorry for him. Have a good impression.

She nodded at the boy, and then caught the baby who was pounced on her. She lowered her head and kissed the child: "Mom is too busy and confused, and I haven't had time to name you. Will the baby blame mom?"

"No." The child answered very simply, and Lu Yin was satisfied, her child is so well-behaved.

"What name does the baby want?"

"I'll listen to my mother." The child raised his face, his eyes were shining, through the child's clear pupils, Lu Yin could even see his own reflection.

"Your father's surname is Xu," Lu Yin thought for a while, "Why not call him Xu Gui, the lost and returned treasure."

"Okay! I like it very much, thank you mom!" Xu Gui stood on tiptoe and kissed Lu Yin's face, then took her hand and went home together.

***

From Xu Zihao's point of view, Lu Yin's mental condition was deteriorating - she even named the non-existent child Xu Gui, and she didn't know whether he should be grateful that Lu Yin still remembered to let the child bear his surname.

Lu Yin no longer emphasized the existence of this child verbally, but declared silently with actions—the three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the dining table, the ubiquitous children's supplies, children's toys, and children's enlightenment teaching materials at home...

Until one day, he heard the child's laughter in his sleep, Xu Zihao knew that this could not go on any longer, and that Lu Yin's illness would affect him sooner or later, so he decided to have a frank talk with Lu Yin.

"Xiao Yin, I have to tell you that our child is gone." Xu Zihao carefully considered his words and communicated with Lu Yin cautiously.

"I know," Lu Yin lowered her head and touched her stomach, "It was my accident that caused him to lose it."

Xu Zihao felt a little distressed when he heard the words, he hugged Lu Yin's shoulder: "It's okay, we will have a second child."

"Yeah!" Lu Yin smiled, "Yes! Xiao Gui also wants a younger brother and sister."

Xu Zihao knew that it would not be easy to convince the stubborn Lu Yin to face the reality, but he had enough patience.He straightened Lu Yin's body, faced her face to face, and then said earnestly: "Xiao Yin, you must face up to this fact, our child, we have completely lost him!"

"No, Zihao, do you know? God takes pity on me, and has already sent our lost child back to me." Lu Yin suddenly laughed playfully, "It's just that your father doesn't love him as much as my mother does." , so you can't see him, he is really a very, very cute and cute kid, daddy, you should love our child well."

As soon as Lu Yin finished speaking, Xu Zihao suddenly felt a pair of hands hugging his neck from behind.

At that moment, one's hair stood on end.

***

In the past few months, Lin Chi brought Yun Bao to school from time to time. With his outstanding appearance, the little guy successfully broke into Lin Chi's circle of classmates and got along like a duck to water.Seeing that Rainbow Dash is cute and sensible, the girls in the class rushed to tease him, and Rainbow Dash became like the mascot of the class for a while.

But in the past few days, Lin Chi suddenly discovered that the girls who used to like to play with Yunbao are not willing to hug him recently, and even look at Yunbao with strange eyes.Before he could think about it, he saw Ye Bai rushing into the classroom with the angry Rainbow Dash in his arms. Rainbow Treasure struggled in her arms, but the girl hugged him tightly, showing no intention of letting go.

If other people treat Yun Bao like this, Lin Chi will definitely be angry, but this person is Ye Bai, a good girl Lin Chi approves of. Even after seeing such a scene, Lin Chi still subconsciously believes that what she did is definitely a mistake. There is a reason.

"what happened?"

"When I passed by just now, I saw Yun Bao playing outside alone, but it was very strange!" Ye Bai stuffed the child into Lin Chi's arms, and then patted his chest in shock, "I didn't see any Anyone who has been talking to another person, not talking to himself, but..."

"I've seen it too." At this time, a girl behind Lin Chi also approached, "He has been talking to a non-existent person, saying that children are prone to ghosts. Could it be that they encountered unclean things? ?”

Yun Bao buried his head in Lin Chi's shoulder, full of grievances, and even dropped a few golden beans.Lin Chi patted his head, and while dealing with a few girls, he looked out the window, Yun Bao's little brother was standing on the grass, saw him looking over, and waved at him.

Too careless!He actually forgot for a moment that the "people" he saw were not necessarily all people!No wonder everyone has been looking at Rainbow Dash strangely recently!Thinking of the days when he was excluded because of the ghost, Lin Chi suddenly became nervous.

Ye Bai saw his nervousness and thought he was worried about Yun Bao's safety, so he immediately comforted him softly: "Don't worry, it's very common for children to see dirty things, you can take your children to the temple to get rid of bad luck, it will be fine of."

"Okay," Lin Chi nodded, thanked Ye Bai, he hurriedly put away his things, and left the classroom with Yun Bao.

On the way back, Yun Bao hugged Lin Chi's neck with a grievance on his face: "Daddy, sister is wrong, I am clearly playing with my little brother."

"I know," Lin Chi patted the child's back, "It's just that the sisters can't see your little brother."

Rainbow Dash seemed to understand, but obediently stopped complaining about Ye Bai.

Lin Chi took Yun Bao back to the noodle shop, and told Lou Qi about the situation with lingering fears. The latter thought for a while: "It should be that baby spirit that Yun Bao met."

"Hey?"

"Ghosts are afraid of the sun, but he can stay outdoors with Rainbow Dash during the daytime. They get along for a long time, but Rainbow Dash doesn't get any yin energy. The only one who can do this is a baby spirit who is neither human nor ghost. They don't have a spirit body, they are essentially a mass of resentment that stays in the Yin-Yang world, the sun can't burn him, and only when the resentment is wiped away will it disappear."

After hearing this, Lin Chi hesitated: "Then shall we prevent Yun Bao from getting along with him?"

"Rainbow can be considered inhuman," Lou Qi chuckled, and patted Lin Chi on the shoulder, "Don't worry, he's not as weak as you think, but if you don't want him to be criticized, you'd better not let them be seen by others." Playing under your nose."

"Okay." Lin Chi nodded, and then suddenly remembered, "By the way, I have met Yingling's mother. When I went to pick up Yunbao, his mother also came to pick him up. He has a very close relationship with his mother." If so, will you kill her?"

Lou Qi was very surprised when he heard the words: "Infant spirits will not have a mother, and a little ghost with a mother's support will not become an infant spirit."

——So it is impossible for that child to have a mother.

"That child really has a mother. I saw it with my own eyes. Could it be that we made a mistake, and he is not an infant spirit? Aren't there many people raising little ghosts now? Could it be that they met little ghosts who were raised?" Lin After thinking about it later, he asked.

"No, the little ghosts you raise are full of yin energy." Lou Qi paused, "the most likely are infant spirits, and the next most likely are those monsters who are too lazy to transform."

The topic was easily covered, neither of them was interested in delving into the identity of the "little brother", Lin Chi was more concerned about how to naturally isolate Yun Bao from this boy, even though Lou Qi said he would not harm Yun Bao, Lin Chi was still worried.

On this day, another accident happened in S University. A freshman girl was unexpectedly pregnant. It had been several months since she found out. She dared not go to a regular hospital for abortion, so she found a black clinic.

On the way home after finishing the work, the girl began to feel unwell, and locked herself in the toilet as soon as she got to the dormitory. As a result, her blood collapsed and she was out of breath when she was found.

Because of this, Lin Chi simply sent Yun Bao to Huaiyin with an excuse, and after telling Huaiyin his concerns, Huaiyin simply packed up his little grandson to live in Shen's house temporarily, so Shen Jinghan called to praise Lin Later, Secretary Hu sent a bunch of delicious food to express "father's thanks".

After sending Rainbow Treasure away, Lin Chi heaved a sigh of relief. Children are very forgetful, and after a period of separation, they probably won't miss the baby spirit.

However, not long after Rainbow left, the child approached Lin Chi.

"Uncle, won't my brother come to play with me?"

"..." Lin Chi was at a loss for words, he couldn't tell the child that he didn't want to let Rainbow Dash play with him, right?After deliberating his words, Lin Chi told the boy: "Something happened in the school these days, and it's not safe for people to come and go. I don't worry about bringing my brother here."

"Is it because of the dead?" The boy nodded half-understanding.

"Yes, if I have a chance in the future, may I bring my younger brother to play with you?"

"Okay." The boy nodded obediently, but his expression was a little confused.Lin Chi has been a baby daddy for a long time, and he is always soft-hearted towards children. Even if the other party's attributes are unknown, seeing his confused face, he still can't help asking.

Seeing no one around, he knelt down and asked the boy softly, "What's wrong?"

"Uncle, why can't my brother play with me when that person is dead?"

"Because..." Lin Chi looked at the four or five-year-old boy in front of him. The boy didn't understand what he said just now, but he still nodded obediently. His mother raised him very well.Thinking of this, Lin Chi couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted: "Because someone dies, the police, family members, and other spectators will flock to the school. There are many people, and my uncle is afraid that something will happen to my brother, so he won't let him come. gone."

"I will protect my brother, I am very good." The boy grabbed the hem of Lin Chi's clothes, and his mother took good care of him. He was wearing delicate little clothes, and his fair face was full of sadness.

"I know, uncle trusts you." Lin Chi patted his head.

"Uncle, why do those people come to school?"

"Because killing pays for her life, this person is dead, and everyone needs to investigate how she died."

"But, she deserves to die!" The boy suddenly raised his head, "Didn't uncle also say that killing people will pay for their lives? She deserves to die!"

"What?!" Lin Chi stared blankly at the boy, "What are you talking about?"

"She killed her child, so she should pay for it!" Lin Chi was taken aback by the instant killing intent in the boy's eyes.

Seeing him take a step back in fright, the boy asked with concern: "Uncle, are you okay?"

"I'm fine..." Lin Chi smiled reluctantly, "My brother is at home alone, and my uncle has to go back first."

"Okay, goodbye uncle." The boy said goodbye to Lin Chi with a smile.
