Big brother, stop it.
The young man's face was frosty and his eyes were calm.
The awkward posture didn't last long. Gao Cong'ai stood up straight again and looked at the other person with a scrutinizing gaze.
Li Zhu's heart was so cold that he couldn't even act out his character. His tone was flat. "What was she putting in the place she just walked around?"
"A mahogany carved hollow screen. When it was still there, she always liked to admire it in the living room."
Later the screen was moved away, but the custom continued.
"Can she hear you when you call her?" Li Zhu asked.
"Yes, but she won't respond." Gao Cong'ai muttered absentmindedly, "I've called her many times, and occasionally she'll turn her head in my direction."
"Ms. Liang." When he called out, Li Zhu admired himself sincerely.
Miss Liang pretended not to hear anything. She walked barefoot from the screen to the sofa, bent down, and seemed to be smelling a non-existent flower.
She seemed to be performing a show without props, carefully trimming the branches with "scissors", and her face became peaceful under the decoration of darkness.
This scene is absolutely terrifying to anyone.
But Gao Cong'ai didn't even raise his eyebrows. He had seen it too many times and had long been numb.
Li Zhu: "When did you first meet her?"
"About three years old." Gao Cong'ai smiled and whispered in Li Zhu's ear, deliberately trying to scare him. "She carried me and taught me to walk, clacking, clacking, clacking, wearing her favorite pair of white high heels... She had no idea she was dead."
Seeing that the young man was not frightened, Gao Cong'ai curled his lips and asked, "Are you really not afraid?"
Li Zhu: “I’m not afraid.”
Gao Cong'ai remained silent. Fortunately, he did not wait in the room for the young man to ask for help.
Li Zhu is now in a state of impenetrable defense and just wants to find out the truth as soon as possible. "What was she like back then?"
"Living."
Gao Cong'ai was too young at that time and didn't know what death meant.
When he saw his drowned mother become as beautiful and lovely as before, he could not remain indifferent and must have reacted.
Li Zhu: "What did you do?"
"I brought her a lot of food." Gao Cong'ai raised the corners of his lips, a sly look flashing in his eyes. "I also did something else. Do you want to know?"
Li Zhu knew there must be conditions, so he folded his arms and looked at him, "What do you want me to give you in exchange?"
Gao Cong'ai: "I want to touch your lips again."
"No!" Li Zhu objected.
Gao Cong'ai lowered his eyes and pulled down the corners of his mouth, feeling deeply wronged.
Li Zhu transformed himself into a serious dean of studies. "Good friends should help each other. If you have to negotiate conditions for everything, then you are not a good friend, you are a partner with benefits."
Gao Cong'ai has seen too many ugly faces. These people smiled when they exchanged interests with the Gao family, but turned against them immediately once their interests were damaged, and even chose to cooperate with the Gao family's enemies.
He didn't want his relationship with the young man to become like this.
Although he was reluctant, Gao Cong'ai still gave in and said, "Follow me."
Li Zhu: "Brother Tong, I know how to deal with Comrade Xiao Gao."
365: "Hmm?"
"When I say dog training, I don't mean he's actually a dog," Li Zhu said. "Give him what he wants, and he'll obey. If he still doesn't listen, then you have to analyze which option is more attractive to him. One of them will definitely work."
By the way, give him some rewards occasionally to make him feel at ease.
Let him know that he is still the "master's" favorite.
As he thought about it, Li Zhu couldn't help but reach out and touch Gao Cong'ai's head.
The soft and smooth hair feels very comfortable when it brushes against your fingertips, just like the feeling of smoothing the fur of a big dog.
In order to make it easier for him to touch it, Gao Cong'ai bent his knees and half-knelt, looking upwards with his dark eyes. The light spots fell on them, making his eyeballs look wet.
Li Zhu was very touched by the cuteness.
Gao Cong'ai is so well behaved when he is not crazy.
"Okay, okay, I've touched enough." Li Zhu withdrew his hand with a stern face and signaled Gao Cong'ai to continue leading the way.
Gao Cong'ai looked dissatisfied, "Oh."
Li Zhu: “…”
After walking up the wooden stairs, the two came to Gao Cong'ai's room on the second floor. Just as they were about to open the door, they heard footsteps behind them.
In a flash, the voice came behind him.
The breath with moisture and smell of fish sprayed on the side of Li Zhu's neck. It was Miss Liang.
Water dripped from her body, forming a puddle on the floor and flowing to Li Zhu's feet.
He asked Gao Cong'ai, "Will she come in with us?"
Gao Cong'ai didn't say anything and stepped aside. Miss Liang's figure flashed and was swallowed up by the darkness inside the door, and disappeared without a trace.
Li Zhu turned on the light switch on the wall. The room was larger than the guest room next door. In addition to the independent bathroom, there was also a small door inside, which should be a cloakroom.
Gao Cong'ai walked straight to the small gate, and Li Zhu's heartbeat suddenly quickened.
Red light leaked out from the gap, and the smell of burning swept over people's breath. The moment he saw clearly inside, Li Zhu finally understood why Gao Cong'ai was not afraid.
Miss Liang squatted on the black wooden table and stuffed the raw rice in the bowl into her mouth with exaggerated movements, making loud chewing sounds.
She glanced towards the door, her eyes passed over Li Zhu's face, and stopped blankly on Gao Cong'ai's face.
Just when Li Zhu thought she was going to do something, Miss Liang lowered her head again, grabbed a white candle and put it in her mouth.
Candle residue fell from the corner of her mouth. She seemed to have been hungry for a long time. She jumped off the table and licked it in a strange posture.
The narrow space without a candle was half dark and half filled with dancing flames, and Gao Cong'ai's face flickered.
He stepped through the door and turned left, where there was a small refrigerator.
He opened the refrigerator and took out a plucked chicken with its neck tilted and bleeding.
Gao Cong'ai put the chicken in front of Ms. Liang. She paused for a moment, threw away the candle, grabbed the raw chicken with both hands and bit it.
"When I first saw her, she couldn't find the way in, so I opened the door." Gao Cong'ai said as he came to Li Zhu silently.
He took Li Zhu's hand and played with it, his voice low and distant.
"My mother was very confused at the time, so I took her hand and walked into the house and took her back to her own room."
"She was soaking wet. I found a towel and stood on tiptoe to wipe the water off her face." The man tightened his grip on Li Zhu's hand, his voice growing colder. "Her skin is too fragile. With just a little force, the pale skin broke, revealing the flesh underneath, which had turned pale and blue from being soaked in the lake water."
"When you pick at the rotten meat with your hands, you can hear a sticky sound that gives you goosebumps."
"She doesn't feel pain..." Gao Cong'ai smiled, "You two are very similar in this respect."
Li Zhu was shocked. He didn't expect to be discovered by him.
Yes, this kid has strong hands. After that handshake, the fingerprints on Li Zhu's hands took a while to disappear.
"Later, I opened the door for her every night, and she started to respond to me."
To little Gao Cong'ai, his mother at that time was just a little strange and looked different from ordinary people.
She is still gentle and won't get angry even if she is hurt.
I will teach him to walk, sing, read, and draw.
As time went by, these normal phenomena became less and less frequent, and she never tired of telling him again and again: "I'm so hungry, I'm hungry."
Gao Cong'ai went to the kitchen to steal food for her.
She stuffed the food into her mouth, and after a moment the gnawed part returned to its original shape, and the fragrant smell turned into a foul stink.
Maggots will appear in it within half a day.
In the middle of the night after the "tribute" was completed every day, Gao Cong'ai would quietly throw the food stolen from the kitchen into the trash can outside.
I thought my mother would stop complaining about being hungry if she was “full”, but soon she became increasingly dissatisfied and her face became hideous.
For a while, Gao Yanhe found out that his youngest son was stealing, so he locked him in a room and asked him to reflect on his mistakes.
The hungry Miss Liang looked for people everywhere in the house. Sometimes she looked quietly barefoot, and sometimes she deliberately wore high heels to make noise and attract Gao Cong'ai out.
She often called Gao Cong'ai's name, her voice changing from low to high, from soft to sharp.
That day, her body passed through the wooden door and finally found Gao Cong'ai in the corner.
The swollen face was cracked and an unknown yellow liquid was flowing out.
Gao Cong'ai felt fear for the first time and vaguely realized that this woman was not "Mom".
It's a monster that crawled out of the lake.
Miss Liang grabbed his arm with her sharp nails and kept saying, "I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry..."
Gao Cong'ai screamed in fear, broke free from her and hid in an empty cardboard box in the storage room.
He covered his mouth and held his breath. Aunt Chen appeared and saved him.
It was then that Gao Cong'ai discovered that he was the only one who could see "Mom".
In order to avoid the monster's invasion, he learned to walk silently. When he could no longer hide, he learned to use bloody raw food to soothe her emotions.
Perhaps because some human thoughts still remained, the monster did not deliberately scare him again.
Over time, Gao Cong'ai and she reached a kind of unspoken understanding, which made the people in the family hate him, but because of the existence of ghosts, they had to indulge him.
Gao Cong'ai enjoyed this feeling, but was also troubled by the ghosts' ever-expanding appetite.
In recent months, her cries have become even more miserable, and the skin on her face is filled with foul-smelling water and looks like it could break at any time.
Several times, Gao Cong'ai saw her eyeballs fall out of their sockets, held back by a nerve and pressed back by two rigid fingers.
"Her mind was very confused, and it was she who sent the old man to the hospital." Gao Cong'ai kept smiling as he recounted the past, his eyes filled with the pleasure of revenge.
It was as if he had already seen the fall of the Gao family and the deaths of the Gao family members.
"Everyone here will suffer retribution." Gao Cong'ai said softly, "But don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Li Zhu's heart sank. He never expected that the source was right in front of him.
As a child, Gao Cong'ai knew nothing and mistook a ghost for his mother.
Later, Gao Cong'ai realized the difference between humans and ghosts and chose to continue raising the ghost because he no longer regarded Ms. Liang as his mother, but as a tool to protect himself and torture the Gao family.
Baji, baji, snap, snap.
The sounds of chewing raw meat and crushing bones came one after another. Li Zhu looked at Miss Liang's bloody mouth and suddenly understood why the Gao family wanted to kill him.
The Gao family is not short of money or power, but what they lack is a way to avoid disaster.
Manager Wang made the first step of screening among the manual laborers, and then sent them to Gao Congyu in the name of running errands.
Gao Congyu used some unknown method to confirm that the original owner was the disaster-eliminating tool they needed.
So the next day, Manager Wang transferred the reward.
Because they knew very well that according to the original owner's personality, he would definitely buy some wine to celebrate, and if he was hit by a pie in the sky, he would definitely drink a few more glasses.
The original owner woke up in a panic the next day and stepped into a trap accurately - a nail buried on the path.
Create the illusion of an accident.
What they didn't expect was that the person was not dead.
Later, Gao Congyu tried to develop a friendship with Li Zhu and found a way to keep him staying in the villa.
Apart from this life, Li Zhu couldn't think of what the Gao family could get from him.
He said to the system, "I've always heard of scapegoats. They deliberately made me live in a haunted room so they could make me a scapegoat and appease Miss Liang's resentment."
