Under the dim street lights.
A woman with white hair stood by the grass, holding an orange cotton coat in her hand, raising her head and looking in the direction of the old stone door...
Lin Xiaoxiao put her schoolbag on her back and saw her mother before she reached the intersection of the guard room. She paused and then trotted closer to her.
"Mom, I'm coming," she shouted.
Because the temperature was extremely low tonight, she was still breathing out white air while saying these words.
"Put on your clothes. This is all you need to wear on such a cold day. I'd be surprised if you don't freeze to death."
Lin's mother's tone was a bit reproachful. As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao walked up to her, she couldn't wait to spread the clothes in her hands and try to put them on the other person.
He glanced at the style of clothes.
Lin Xiaoxiao found that she bought this product several years ago. The size was a bit small and she felt a little tight when wearing it...
After hesitating for a moment, she did not speak out, but just allowed her mother to continue dressing herself.
The slightly white hair shone strangely under the street lights.
Lin Xiaoxiao just stared at it for a while, until Mother Lin realized that her child had grown too much to fit into the clothes, and then the latter laughed twice, interrupting Lin Xiaoxiao's distraction.
"I brought the wrong clothes, so I'll make do with them."
The mother smiled, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes bunched up, and Lin Xiaoxiao just hummed softly.
time does not wait.
Growth is only discovered and realized by chance...
The young and omnipotent mother in her memory was no longer there, and Lin Xiaoxiao felt a bitterness in her heart.
The occurrence of supernatural events made her feel that her peaceful life might become different.
If telling others about this kind of thing would put others in danger, then Lin Xiaoxiao thinks that basically no one would be willing to do that...
Not most people have the idea of taking revenge on the world.
Normal people would prefer to live a peaceful life, even though such a life would be unsatisfactory, even though such a life would be uncomfortable...
But as long as it's just trivial things.
That is enough to satisfy people...
[Don’t think too much, just take it as it comes and solve whatever problem you have. There’s no need to have so many worries and thoughts. 】
Qianye saw Lin Xiaoxiao's sad thoughts and comforted him.
Supernatural infiltration is like the end of the world for her. It is normal to feel anxious and anxious. As long as you don't worry about how to spend the next day every day, your mood will not be too bad.
"knew......"
Lin Xiaoxiao answered in his heart.
There were no cars on the way home, just the ground illuminated golden by the street lights.
The plane trees planted on both sides of the road covered the heads, and the cold wind passed through the gaps between the branches and leaves, gently blowing on the backs of the two people as they walked.
I can’t remember how long it has been since I last walked with my mother.
Lin Xiaoxiao only felt that tonight's journey was particularly comfortable, like a new festival at the beginning of spring, with the refreshing feeling passing through her chest...
If possible.
She also misses this feeling, accompanying her mother on such a trip every quiet night...
...
...
Morning climbs over night's head.
A sliver of light passed through the dark gray clouds in the distant sky, gradually making the city brighter.
The curtains of the unclosed windows swayed.
The cactus in a vase sits quietly on the desk.
Lin Xiaoxiao, who was lying on the bed, moved his eyelids. He seemed to feel something and struggled twice before opening his eyes. He looked at the ceiling with gray corners in front of him in confusion.
The alarm clock didn't ring, but the person was already awake...
It was a very rare thing for Lin Xiaoxiao.
In the past, she would always set dozens or twenty alarm clocks. After waking up, she would turn off the alarm clock, and then it would ring again soon after.
Only after repeatedly cycling between sleep and wakefulness, and erasing the last trace of sleepiness, did Lin Xiaoxiao get up from the bed...
She blinked and looked at the ceiling, her lips were inexplicably dry. After thinking about it, she decided to get up and pour herself a glass of warm water.
Put on your slippers and kick your feet to open the door.
Lin Xiaoxiao walked to the water dispenser in a familiar manner, picked up the cup from beside him and started to fill it with water...
Calculate carefully.
Three days have passed since the day I left school.
During these three days, the middle school has organized a holiday, allowing students to stay at home and take online classes for the time being. The specific school dates will be notified by the school.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know the reason for telling her parents, and she didn't want to ask Lin's mother what kind of news she had received.
There are always two things to say. No matter what the reason is for such a big thing to happen, Lin Xiaoxiao already knows the real reason, so there is no need to care about so many things...
After drinking the water, Lin Xiaoxiao glanced around the house.
Normally at this time, Mother Lin would have already gotten up and been cleaning. It was strange that it was so quiet today.
"Maybe I went out to take out the garbage..."
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't think too much.
After drinking the water, I went straight back to the bedroom, ready to take another nap to replenish my energy.
But it's a pity...
Maybe it was because she had cheered up after getting up this time. When she returned to the warm bed again, she found that she couldn't fall asleep no matter how much she tossed and turned.
"so annoying......"
Somewhat helpless.
Lin Xiaoxiao turned over and took out his mobile phone from under the pillow, intending to see if anyone had sent him a message or something.
All right.
This is just a subconscious self-deception. In fact, Lin Xiaoxiao, who doesn't have many friends, usually has a cell phone that is too quiet.
When you open the screen page, all you can see is software push information one after another...
In addition, something happened in school a few days ago, and the chat group was extremely quiet. Apart from the homework completion messages sent by classmates every day, there was nothing.
Lin Xiaoxiao casually swiped the screen a few times as if distracted. Lin Xiaoxiao, who didn't see any interesting news, closed the chat software in boredom and turned to click on the content sent by the following media account.
On a normal day, her fun comes from these gadgets...
She doesn't know how to play games and doesn't like to watch short videos. Whenever she's bored, she just reads these texts for fun.
"A 20-year-old college student was blackmailed for helping an old man who fell. He was sentenced to bear 10% of the responsibility. This is what the college student said afterwards..."
"The man suddenly went crazy while driving and shouted at the driver to stop on the highway. When his request was in vain, he reached out and grabbed the driver's steering wheel. Many netizens commented on this..."
"Is it difficult to study? Issues such as the difficulty of studying have been brought to the forefront recently. Studying hard in a cold window is not as good as others winning a lottery overnight. What is wrong with the world? People who work hard will never get the right rewards?"
"A man worth tens of millions, but at the age of forty, he still has no wife and no children. This is what he said when asked about the situation..."
"The woman called the police, saying that there were always inexplicable noises in her home. After several checks, no results were found. The local police believed that the woman might have a mental disorder. Half a month later, the woman committed suicide in the washbasin at home... ..”
Eyes move downward.
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes finally stopped on the last news message.
After a pause, she hesitated a bit and clicked on the news post posted by this editor.
The content inside is very simple, almost just an expansion of the title content, and there is no extra information worth paying attention to.
This kind of content reminded Lin Xiaoxiao that when the teacher assigned a word count composition, when there was nothing to write, he would elaborate on one thing over and over again, just to make up a few more words.
"suicide......"
"Strange sounds..."
While reading the content, Lin Xiaoxin was also thinking about this matter.
Having just experienced a supernatural incident, she is obviously very sensitive to this situation. As long as she sees something a little wrong, she can't help but click in to check it out.
After reading this post.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't understand much and wanted to know more. He directly opened the search bar and searched for other news about this matter...
Unbeknownst to Busuou, a lot of content about strange things that happened recently popped up under this search.
Every one of them is strange and full of vaguely weird meanings. Just looking at it is enough to make people feel numb...
There were times when my wife stayed up in the middle of the night and ran to the dressing table to put on makeup.
There was also an old man who caught a strange porcelain jar in the pond when he was fishing, and then he fell seriously ill and died after returning home.
There are even more remote villages. Every mid-month, there will be bursts of blood-curdling cries on the hillside...
Compared to normal times.
There has been an incredible amount of news lately.
It is difficult to see such a few content messages on weekdays. In just a few weeks, there have been a lot of them, which seems to be a hot topic recently.
"Why are there so many things? What's going on..."
Lin Xiaoxiao recalled that Min'an Road used the excuse of infectious diseases to cover up things, and wondered whether these things had also encountered supernatural events, which resulted in such a result.
Even though most of the information has been deleted by the authorities as non-compliance with regulations, it can be said that there are still so many of them, which is very abnormal...
[Don’t think too much, your own affairs are the most important. Regardless of whether these things are true or false, as long as they have nothing to do with you, it’s best not to put your mind on them, otherwise you will live in fear every day. 】
Qianye reminded Lin Xiaoxiao.
Judging from what was on his phone, he couldn't deduce any substantive results.
After all, these things are, to a certain extent, released under the control of some people, and are even deliberately fabricated by bloggers who want to gain attention and sensationalize the news.
Therefore, it is not easy to judge whether it is true or false. It is best to just watch it for fun. There is no need to delve into it...
"Qianye, do you think the world is changing in a way that we can't predict, and weird things are slowly becoming more and more... and will eventually appear around everyone?"
The idea is still different.
It's just Qianye's personal thoughts that she doesn't want to delve into. For someone like Lin Xiaoxiao, who is particularly curious and has paid special attention to these things recently, she can't help but not explore it.
[You mean, do you think this might be something like a supernatural resurrection? 】
Qianye understood what Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to say and directly pointed out the problem on the other person's mind.
"Um."
Lin Xiaoxiao responded.
Having seen it before, she naturally knew what Qianye's "supernatural recovery" was like.
[I can’t give you a good answer because I don’t know what this is all about. 】
[However, I think these are not things you need to think about now. Compared with things that are so far away from your life, you should focus on yourself. 】
[Can you understand what I’m saying? 】
"Put it on yourself..."
Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and didn't understand the reason why Qianye said this.
She was about to ask a question, but Qianye interrupted and added in advance as expected.
[Regardless of whether it is a supernatural recovery or not, I think what you should do now is to strengthen your own life-saving means and have your own solutions when encountering danger. 】
[Just like...Mr. He's cross-stitch stuff. 】
[You now need something like this to protect yourself. 】
[Although this is true and there is a supernatural resurrection or something, if you are prepared in advance, you will not be helpless and it will be too bad. 】
"You mean, let me find the source of the curse?"
Lin Xiaoxiao barely understood. She subconsciously lowered her head and glanced at her wrist. There was the bracelet Jiang Liang had given her before. It was also something Qianye once said had the meaning of expelling weirdness.
She didn't know if this was her first curse...
"But, where can I find that kind of thing? I don't know anything. You told me all about weird things from beginning to end."
It's not that Lin Xiaoxiao doesn't want to have the source of the curse.
When Mr. He used cross-stitch to expel the monster in the classroom that grabbed Wang Ju's hair, Lin Xiaoxiao basically witnessed the whole process and naturally knew what the source of the curse meant.
When she returned home a few days ago, she intentionally gave the bracelet to her mother, hoping that it could protect Lin's mother when she encountered danger.
But after Qianye reminded him that this thing was only effective for him, Lin Xiaoxiao had to give up this idea.
However, no matter what...
Lin Xiaoxiao also hopes to have one or two more bracelet-like things that she can give to her mother.
[So, sometimes I don’t know whether you are really stupid or fake. 】
[I will let you find it, and of course I will tell you the method... Otherwise, will you be like a headless fly, running around everywhere? 】
Qianye complained speechlessly.
This made Lin Xiaoxiao, who was not optimistic about this matter, have a light in his eyes.
"Really? Then I should..."
Before Lin Xiaoxiao could finish speaking, his phone vibrated twice.
She looked down subconsciously and found that it was a message sent to her by someone in the chat software.
"Who would send me a message so early?"
With doubts, Lin Xiaoxiao clicked into the screen and found that it was Jiang Liang, who had not chatted with him for several days, and rarely took the initiative to send a message.
"Xiaoxiao, are you awake?"
The content is very simple, just an ordinary question.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Xiaoxiao would definitely not be able to reply to messages at this time and would be fast asleep in bed.
However, something unexpected happened today, which caused her to wake up extra early, so she had the opportunity to reply to this message in time.
"Well, I just woke up not long ago."
Lin Xiaoxiao typed a reply.
Perhaps after Jiang Liang finished sending the message, he kept guarding the dialog box on his phone. After Lin Xiaoxiao answered, he responded quickly.
"It's like this. There aren't any online classes today. I just wanted to ask you to come out and play together. It's quite boring to be alone at home."
"Do you have the time......?"
