Jujiayuan Community, residence No. 8-2, Unit 1, Building 7.
Song Hao and his wife An Lifen went to bed on time at eleven o'clock as usual.
After a busy day at the orphanage, Song Xiaoyu went to the bathroom to take a hot bath after her parents went to bed. By the way, she washed her hair with the Picang shampoo she bought at the drugstore today.
After listening to Shen Xing's suggestion, she went to the pharmacy after finishing her volunteer work.
After following what Shen Xing said, she realized that her scalp had been itching, which was probably due to dermatitis, so she bought this Picang shampoo on the recommendation of the drugstore clerk.
It is said that after a week of consistent washing, the problem of itchy head will be significantly improved.
So Song Xiaoyu washed her hair very carefully and massaged her scalp fully so that the medicine could be fully absorbed.
After taking a shower and drying her hair, Song Xiaoyu quickly climbed into bed, half-lyed down and looked at her phone for a while, then turned off the light and went to sleep.
At about one o'clock in the morning, she suddenly woke up from deep sleep. The reason for waking up was that her scalp was itchy. Unknowingly, she had been scratching her head in her sleep.
Because her nails scratched her skin and her scalp hurt, Song Xiaoyu was completely awakened.
Never before had her scalp been so itchy that Song Xiaoyu began to suspect that there was something wrong with the Picang shampoo.
After waking up, the itching feeling did not subside. On the contrary, the itching on the back of my head intensified, as if my scalp was about to be torn.
While Song Xiaoyu scratched her head, she couldn't help but sit up from the bed, sleepily turned on the bedside lamp, and walked to the bathroom in the bedroom.
When I came to the bathroom, I turned on the light and stood in front of the mirror, tilting my head. I looked carefully and found that my scalp was not scratched and bloody, but it was still itchy.
Song Xiaoyu felt that her whole head was numb. She didn't dare to scratch anymore, so she just reached out and patted the back of her head gently.
Although she wanted to sleep very much, the itching kept her from falling asleep at all.
At this moment, she felt something falling off the back of her head. It seemed to be a lock of hair, or... a scalp!
He stretched out his hand to grab it and took a look. Sure enough, it was a piece of scalp with some hair attached to it. The scalp was only as big as two fingernails. It seemed to have dried up and had no nutrients for a long time.
Song Xiaoyu was startled, and quickly tilted her head to see if there was a piece of hair missing on the back of her head. However, after taking a closer look, she found that there was nothing strange at all, and it was still fine.
This shows that the fallen scalp and hair may be produced by natural metabolism and are not alopecia areata or hair loss.
At this time, the itching sensation on the scalp has been reduced a lot after that piece of scalp fell off, and is still gradually reducing.
Song Xiaoyu let go of her uneasiness, and threw the fallen dry scalp and hair into the wastepaper basket next to the toilet in the bathroom.
After smoothing out my long hair, I no longer felt the itching, so I turned off the light, closed the door, and returned to bed to sleep peacefully.
About ten minutes later, in the darkness of the bathroom, in the wastepaper basket next to the toilet, the dry scalp with long hair suddenly moved, and then the scalp, which seemed to be almost completely dry, became like a thin sheet. The dough slowly unfolds.
…
After sleeping until midnight, Song Xiaoyu suddenly woke up again.
This time it wasn't because of an itchy scalp, but because I was woken up by a strange sound.
When she woke up, she seemed to hear laughter. The sound was not loud, but it was still easy to hear in the silent night.
Song Xiaoyu turned over in a daze. After her scalp stopped itching, she felt deeply sleepy. She felt that she hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time.
"Hey hey hey..."
At this moment, the voice that woke her sounded again.
Song Xiaoyu, who was about to fall asleep, heard it clearly this time. She was startled and her eyes opened suddenly.
Everything was dark.
She immediately reached for the bedside table and turned on the bedside lamp.
The hazy yellowish light came on. The light was not strong, but it was enough to dispel the surrounding darkness. Song Xiaoyu immediately sat up, eyes wide open, and glanced around the bed.
Nothing unusual was found.
She had some doubts about whether she heard it correctly, but after careful recall, she still felt something was wrong, because the sound just now sounded like a person laughing. Although the laughter was not loud, it sounded very clear, and it should be impossible to hear it wrong.
I sat on the bed in a daze for a moment, and never heard another sound.
The warm yellowish light gave Song Xiaoyu some sense of security, and the panic she felt just now slowly receded. She believed that she might be dreaming, and because she was so deep asleep, it was possible for her to interpret the sounds in her dreams as reality.
I took the mobile phone on the bedside table, turned on the screen and looked at the time, and found that it was already four o'clock in the morning.
Song Xiaoyu originally wanted to turn off the lights and go back to sleep, but she didn't feel it when she fell asleep. Now she woke up and felt that her lower abdomen was slightly bloated. Maybe she drank too much water before going to bed, so she had no choice but to get up and put on her slippers and walked into the bathroom.
The moment she just entered the bathroom, she seemed to hear a slight rustling sound, but as soon as she walked in, the sound disappeared immediately, so that Song Xiaoyu wondered if there were mice or cockroaches in the bathroom.
She suddenly became a little frightened. She stood at the door of the bathroom and looked carefully. The surroundings looked normal and there was nothing unusual.
After a pause, Song Xiaoyu wanted to go to the bathroom in the living room, but after thinking about it, she didn't dare to go out because of fear.
Now that the parents are asleep, it is even less possible to go to the bathroom in their bedroom without waking them up.
After looking around carefully to make sure there was nothing unusual, she mustered up the courage to walk towards the toilet. When she was sitting down, she still looked around in case a mouse might suddenly run out of the corner.
Especially under her feet, Song Xiaoyu was also afraid that cockroaches would crawl onto her insteps unknowingly.
When she lowered her head and looked left and right, her eyes inadvertently glanced from the waste paper basket next to the toilet, looked into the waste paper basket, and then her body trembled slightly.
She remembered that she had thrown the dry scalp and the long hair into the wastepaper basket before, but now at a glance, the dry scalp was gone, and she could only see a little of the long hair exposed under the waste paper. Hair tips.
It was impossible for her scalp and hair to be buried in waste paper in such a short period of time. After all, she had not thrown paper into the wastebasket since then, so how could she cover it?
Is the mouse in the wastebasket?
At the moment when Song Xiaoyu was making random guesses, her eyes suddenly widened and she stared at the wastebasket without blinking.
I saw that the waste paper covering the scalp and long hair began to move slowly, as if something was turning upwards below.
After a while, the waste paper covering the upper layer rolled to both sides of the waste paper basket, and a large amount of long black hair was exposed under Song Xiaoyu's eyes. The number of these long hairs had obviously increased a lot, and they were fluffy and messy. They were no longer the same hair she originally threw away. The one that fell off.
The long black hair slowly slid and turned up. This strange scene made Song Xiaoyu's whole body stiffen, her thinking stagnated, and she was completely stunned.
She couldn't figure out why she had thrown away so much hair, and it seemed like there was something underneath it!
About four or five seconds later, a large amount of long hair completely turned over, and a white face appeared in front of Song Xiaoyu.
