After thinking wildly all the way, the taxi quickly stopped at the entrance of Ivy Community. Shen Xing paid the fare, while Feifei stood on the sidewalk outside the car with her small schoolbag on her back, looking around.
It gave the impression that this little girl had not been home for many years. Every scene she saw in her eyes made her uncontrollably happy.
After Shen Xing got out of the car and took the large and small bags and put them on her back, Feifei turned around and walked towards the entrance of the community. After entering, she skillfully turned towards the first floor stairway leading to her home, with Shen Xing following behind.
At this time, Uncle Wang on the first floor was cleaning and brought a basin of water to rinse at the door of the house.
"Hello Grandpa Fugui!" Feifei's sweet voice came out, greeted him, and then walked upstairs.
Uncle Wang was suddenly stunned. He looked up and saw Shen Xing following Feifei carrying a large bag and a small bag. He turned back and smiled at himself.
He wondered: "Is it Feifei?"
Lin Feifei turned her head and smiled: "It's me, grandpa."
"Hey, Feifei is back!" Wang Fugui stood up with an empty basin with a smile on his face.
Feifei pointed at Shen Xing: "Uncle Shen brought me back from the orphanage and adopted me."
"Ah!" Wang Fugui suddenly lost his grip on the basin he was holding and dropped it to the ground. He stared at Shen Xing and Feifei dumbfounded until they disappeared upstairs.
Shen Xing smiled bitterly in his heart and said nothing.
When she arrived on the third floor, Feifei paused and looked at the closed door of her home.
Since the incident, the Lin family's door has never been opened except for the Sheriff's entrance. There is still a yellow seal posted on the door lock.
With the case closed, this seal could have been torn off long ago, but because no one came back at all, and other outsiders did not dare to approach, it remained attached like this.
Staring at the door of her home, Feifei's eyes slowly became moist and she stood there motionless.
Shen Xing took her hand and said softly: "Stop looking and go upstairs first."
Feifei said nothing, retracted her gaze, and came to the fourth floor with him.
Because she had never been here before, after entering Shen Xing's room, Feifei looked left and right, and then she realized that there seemed to be nothing to see, because she could almost see the layout of the room at a glance.
Putting her small schoolbag on the sofa, she was ready to follow Shen Xing after she took her package to the bedroom.
"Close the living room door first." Shen Xing said in the bedroom.
Feifei was stunned for a moment and saw Shen Xing sticking his head at the door of the bedroom and reminding her: "Remember from now on to close the door first after entering the house."
Feifei nodded, turned around and closed the living room door, and then walked into the bedroom out of curiosity.
The workbench in the bedroom immediately caught her eye, and then there was a sturdy wooden frame with wood carvings next to the workbench. On it were some of the earliest wood carvings as well as recent fake Hong Bin, Xue Tong and Cheeky wood carvings.
Feifei looked up at these wooden carvings curiously.
There are several wood carvings made recently, and there are several wood carvings on the wooden frame that Ye Ting has placed here before, which are her favorites.
Shen Xing took out a previously carved wood carving from the drawer of the workbench. It was a wearable Buddha statue made of ebony that had just been completed some time ago.
I remember that it happened to be the time when Feifei's mother Lin Wanru was killed. I was affected by the scene of the bloody eyes and felt uneasy. I even put the unfinished Buddha statue on the bedside for peace of mind.
Ever since the Buddha statue was finished, Shen Xing had kept it in a drawer.
This ebony is often used in the production of protective pendants, and has always been used to ward off evil spirits.
Ebony exudes a light woody aroma, which has the effect of calming people's minds. I don't know whether it can ward off evil spirits.
There is no such thing as "consecration" in this world, but there is a popular saying that the items to ward off evil spirits must be sealed for three days.
The ebony Buddha statue had been sealed in a drawer for three days and had not been touched.
According to Shen Xing, being in this world is equivalent to being blessed.
He handed the ebony Buddha statue to Feifei: "You usually put this thing in the inner pocket of your schoolbag. It's not a toy. Don't take it out to play with. Just let it stay with you."
"Well, thank you!" Feifei took it obediently, returned to the sofa in the living room, carefully placed the Buddha statue in the inner pocket of her schoolbag, carried the schoolbag back to the bedroom and asked, "Uncle Shen, where should I sleep at night?"
"You sleep in the bedroom, and I'll sleep on the sofa outside." Shen Xing had already made arrangements and answered without thinking.
Feifei shook her head: "This room is too small. If you have to work at night, I will disturb you if I sleep here."
After a pause, she took out a bunch of keys from her schoolbag and said, "My home is larger than yours. Why don't we move in? There are two bedrooms downstairs."
Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, and Feifei continued: "Not only can you live more spaciously this way, but you also save a lot of rent. The house on the third floor was bought by my mother, and the loan has been paid off long ago."
Shen Xing showed hesitation: "If you move here, will you..."
His worries were not unreasonable. After all, Lin Wanru died at the door of the living room downstairs. Now that Feifei sees there every day, the little girl may have to face inner pain every day.
A smile appeared on Feifei's face. She shook her head and said very sensibly: "I have already thought about the death of my mother. Even if I will be sad or sad in the future, it is just a memory. I will write it in my diary. , don’t show it to anyone.”
After a pause, she seemed to have made a decision and added: "Well, I can only show it to you."
Shen Xing smiled and reached out to touch her head.
If you want to move, you can't move today. There are too many messy things in the rental house, so you have to sort them out. Moreover, no one has lived downstairs for a long time and needs to be cleaned.
Now when it came to moving down, Shen Xing actually had nothing to fear in his heart. He had even seen Lin Wanru's corpse walking around, and even had a fight with him, but he still had the upper hand.
But now he is really blessed by Feifei. Not only did he save the rent, but he also lived in a spacious house.
Both of them do what they say. Feifei took the key and walked in front to open the door, while Shen Xing followed behind with a broom, a clean basin and a rag.
The two came to the third floor. Shen Xing tore off the yellow prohibition seal. Feifei took out the key, carefully inserted it into the keyhole, and twisted it half a turn.
The living room door has not been locked since the accident, and no one will go in anyway.
Because all the doors and windows in the house were closed, the moment the living room door opened, a dark and dark room without light appeared in front of us. A dull, musty atmosphere came out, and then a feeling of coolness penetrated the heart and spread throughout the body.
Feifei, who was standing next to Shen Xing, visibly shuddered.
