A residential building in a residential area was full of people, all talking and talking.
Just in front of them, a circle of people gathered in front of the gate of 101, and the two men in the front were trying their best to pry the lock. After prying for a long time, the lock was still unmovable. The middle-aged man in the duckbill cap took a step back and sighed. He asked the woman with a dark face behind him, "What kind of lock do you have?"
The woman with disheveled hair asked, "Why? Can't open it?"
"Can't open it." The middle-aged man waved his hands, "I can't open it, and I guess no one can open it."
The woman was immediately anxious, "What should we do? What about the people inside?"
As the locksmith fell silent, everyone heard the crying coming from the door.
"Help! Let me out!!" It was the voice of a young girl. She must have been shouting for quite a while, and her voice had become hoarse.
"Wuwuwuwuwu...Open the door quickly, someone is going to die..."
"What's going on in there?" the locksmith asked the woman, "Is your child locked in there?"
"How could that be possible!" The woman looked gloomy when she talked about this, "I was hanging clothes at home, and suddenly someone knocked on the door. I opened the door and found that it was two young girls from our community, Xiaozhen and Xiaolan. I don't know what made them crazy, Xiaozhen grabbed my clothes and pulled me out, and then they broke into my house and locked the door."
The locksmith was very suspicious when he heard it, "You are not lying to me, are you? Listen to this..."
The cries for help in the house continued, "Help! Let me out... Sister Xiaolan is bleeding a lot, Someone is really going to die..."
The locksmith: "Does it look like they got in by themselves? They were clearly locked inside."
The woman slapped her thigh, "Okay! I can't explain it clearly! How about this, you open the door and let the people inside come out, and we can confront them face to face, okay?"
"I can't open it." The locksmith said: "Why don't we call the police?"
An old lady among the onlookers said: "Xiao Lan bled a lot, I saw it with my own eyes, her hand was injured, it's serious."
When the others heard this, they said: "Then let's call the police and let the police take down the door."
The woman looked gloomy, "I'm fine at home, I haven't offended anyone, why do you want to take down my door? You will be compensated if you take it down..."
Just as everyone was talking and preparing to call the police, a young girl in ordinary clothes walked over.
The girl looked like an ordinary pretty girl, walking slowly and not doing anything, but the people around her had a very strange feeling in their hearts when they saw her.
Everyone who saw her forgot how to move, and stood there blankly, their eyes following the girl.
The girl walked to the door, and the locksmith and the woman who owned the house stared at the girl blankly.
The girl knocked on the door and said to the inside: "Xiaozhen, open the door, I'm Yu Xiao."
Inside the house, Zhou Xiaozhen had never been so scared. She remembered that she had returned home from work, but somehow she appeared in this house. She didn't know how her arms were broken, and she was in great pain. In addition, she saw Xiaolan, who was unconscious on the sofa. Xiaolan was bleeding a lot, and the floor was covered with her blood.
The door was also locked. She couldn't move her hands and could only shout for help.
She heard the people outside talking, but she waited for a long time and still couldn't open the door. What was going on? Did she and Sister Xiaolan encounter some perverted bad guy?
At this time, Zhou Xiaozhen heard an inexplicably familiar voice, "Xiaozhen, open the door, I'm Yu Xiao."
She was stunned for a moment. This voice was really familiar, but she couldn't figure out who this person was. She didn't seem to know who Yu Xiao was, right? Zhou Xiaozhen leaned against the door, crying: "Wuwuwu... My hands are broken, both of them are broken, and I can't open the door."
The person outside the door was very patient and asked: "Where is the other person?"
"Sister Xiaolan is still unconscious." Zhou Xiaozhen said: "She lost a lot of blood."
"Go wake her up." The familiar voice outside the door said: "She is in good health and will be fine for the time being. Go wake her up. You have a key on you, which can open this door, and let her find the key..."
For some reason, Zhou Xiaozhen believed the person who was talking outside. She said it, and Zhou Xiaozhen subconsciously wanted to do what she said, even though both of her hands were broken and it hurt like hell.
Coming to the sofa, Zhou Xiaozhen knelt down carefully and called the person on the sofa, "Sister Xiaolan, Sister Xiaolan! Wake up!" She could
n't wake her up just by calling her, and her hands couldn't move, so she used her head to shake Sister Xiaolan.
"Sister Xiaolan, wake up..."
Zhao Lan opened her eyes and felt dizzy and thirsty. In addition, her left hand hurt so much that she couldn't help but scream hoarsely.
"Sister Xiaolan!"
Zhao Lan's vision finally focused, and she saw Zhou Xiaozhen in front of her with a pale face and sweat all over her head.
"Xiaozhen?" Zhao Lan asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Sister Xiaolan, sob, sob..." Zhou Xiaozhen couldn't help but burst into tears. She cried and said, "It's great that you woke up. I thought you were going to die."
Zhao Lan was about to wipe Zhou Xiaozhen's tears, and her left hand felt a piercing pain again.
"Hiss..." She lowered her head and saw her horrible left hand. She was stunned for a moment, "My hand...what happened to it?"
"I don't know, both of my hands are broken." Zhou Xiaozhen said: "Someone told me that the key to open the door is on both of us. But both of my arms are broken, and I can't find the key."
Zhao Lan coughed, forced herself to sit up, and searched her body with her right hand, asking while searching: "Who told you?"
"A person named Yu Xiao." Zhou Xiaozhen: "Do you know him?"
"I..." Zhao Lan wanted to say that she didn't know him, but she was inexplicably familiar with this name, and at the same time she was sure that she didn't know this person named Yu Xiao.
Finally, Zhao Lan found a key in Zhou Xiaozhen's pocket. She wanted to stand up, but found that she had no strength. Zhou Xiaozhen said, "Hold my neck, I'll help you stand up."
Zhao Lan hooked his right hand around Zhou Xiaozhen's neck, and Zhou Xiaozhen struggled to help her stand up. The two moved to the door.
"We found the key!" Zhou Xiaozhen said to the outside.
"Okay." The person outside the door said, "Open the door."
"Click."
The door opened, and Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen saw the person standing outside the door. In an instant, a particularly familiar feeling arose from the hearts of both of them. This person was really familiar, but why was there no memory of her in their minds?
Yu Xiao saw the miserable state of the two people, she frowned deeply, and a strong sense of heartache and anger rose in her heart. However, this emotion soon subsided, and she calmed down again.
"I'll take you home." Yu Xiao said.
As she said that, she held a person in each hand and left here together.
Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen obviously didn't know this person, but they followed her without any resistance. They walked out of the community, crossed a road, and came to the gate of a hospital.
Looking at the hospital, Zhou Xiaozhen showed a frightened expression, "Black fog... Black fog..."
"Don't be afraid." At this time, the black fog in Yu Xiao's eyes was completely different from the black fog in Zhou Xiaozhen's eyes, "It will be fine soon."
The three of them stepped into the black fog together and returned to the hospital. Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen's memory immediately recovered.
The two were only slightly confused for a few seconds, and Zhao Lan had already reacted. She looked at Yu Xiao in surprise, "Xiaoxiao, you are here!"
"Wuwuwuwu..." Zhou Xiaozhen's eyes were filled with tears, "I knew that Sister Xiao, you would come to save me, I knew..."
Yu Xiao took out the healing talisman to treat the two of them. Zhao Lan's face regained its rosy complexion at a speed visible to the naked eye. She looked at Zhou Xiaozhen, "Xiaozhen, what's wrong with your hand?"
Zhou Xiaozhen was trying to make a fist. She said a little embarrassedly, "The situation was too urgent at the time. Sister Lan, you fainted. I had to stay awake and make sure not to open the door rashly, so I had to break my arm. Now I can't open the door."
Zhao Lan was so upset that she couldn't speak. Zhou Xiaozhen was the youngest of the three of them. She was still in high school and not yet an adult. She and Xiaoxiao had always tried their best to take care of Xiaozhen, but she never thought she could be so cruel to her.
"Let's go." Yu Xiao took a step ahead of the two and said, "Let's go back."
Zhou Xiaozhen hugged Yu Xiao, "Sister Xiao, you are so nice. I feel safe with you around!" "
I'm so sorry for Xiaoxiao this time." Zhao Lan asked with the joy of surviving a disaster, "Xiaoxiao, when you returned to the ward and found that we were gone, were you scared?"
Yu Xiao recalled her reaction at that time and nodded, "Yeah."
"We were scared too!" Zhou Xiaozhen said, holding Yu Xiao's arm, "The ghost could actually disguise itself. I thought it was a delivery man, so I opened the door. It suddenly reached its hand in and banged the door open. I didn't even have time to grab my phone. Sister Lan was hit, and then she threw a handful of talismans to slightly block the ghost. Then we ran out. We ran all the way out of the hospital..."
Zhao Lan looked at Zhou Xiaozhen's endless talk and smiled with relief. Walking in the cold and dark corridor, Zhao Lan asked with some concern: "Has the ghost been solved? Will we be in danger if we walk outside like this?"
"It has been solved." Yu Xiao said: "Yeng Yan killed it."
Zhao Lan looked around and said: "It's not as dangerous as we thought. I haven't seen a single ghost so far."
Yu Xiao didn't say anything. She was the director. Wherever she passed, ordinary ghosts didn't dare to look at her directly, let alone appear in front of her.
The three of them walked back to their ward. The door of the ward had been repaired, and light shone through the gap in the door.
Zhou Xiaozhen: "Is there anyone inside?"
Yu Xiao: "Meng Yan is inside."
"Strange." Zhou Xiaozhen said: "Meng Yan didn't come with you to rescue us. Doesn't he worry about you?"
Yu Xiao was stunned for a moment. She didn't have a good reason for the time being. Fortunately, Meng Yan opened the door at this time, so Yu Xiao decided not to answer.
"You're back." Meng Yan said.
"Back!" Zhou Xiaozhen shouted and rushed into the ward. The ward was already tidy, even tidier and cleaner than before the ghost rushed in!
Zhou Xiaozhen threw herself on her hospital bed, rolling around happily, "Ahhh, it feels so good to be alive!!"
Yu Xiao watched this scene in silence. She sat down on the chair and said, "I have figured out the functions of all the props."
"Really?" Zhao Lan was a little surprised, "But didn't you only bring some of the props to St. Elizabeth today?"
"...I got a prop album from Gluttony." Yu Xiao didn't explain any further. She said, "My previous thinking was too limited. I always sold props and talismans through Lu Xun and Luo Jin. When I was in St. Elizabeth's, I thought of it. I can let Nightmare take the props and function cards to the Third, Fourth and Fifth Hospitals and sell the items in the malls of these hospitals. This way they will sell much faster."
Zhao Lan felt something was wrong when she heard this. Zhou Xiaozhen didn't notice anything wrong. She said happily, "Then won't we be able to be discharged soon?"
Yu Xiao nodded, "Yes."
"Wow~~" Zhou Xiaozhen continued to roll around on the bed.
Zhao Lan smiled and said, "It feels unreal that we can be discharged so soon."
"It's true." Yu Xiao said, "You can accumulate enough points in these two days and then you can be discharged."
Zhao Lan felt something was wrong again. Zhou Xiaozhen sat up from the bed. She said with happiness and distress, "After you get out, you can live to your seventies in good health. I'm only eighteen this year. That means we can be good sisters for more than fifty years! The depressing thing is that I haven't taken the college entrance examination yet. To be honest, I've been in the hospital for so long, I've almost forgotten all the knowledge in the textbooks..."
As Yu Xiao listened, an emotion surged in her heart. She felt it and it was envy.
"It's okay to repeat a year." Yu Xiao said
. Zhou Xiaozhen wailed, "Sister Xiao, you don't have back pain when you talk while standing, but do you know how painful it is to repeat a year?"
Zhao Lan suggested, "Or you can hire a tutor."
"But tutors are expensive." Zhou Xiaozhen lay on the bed and blinked at Yu Xiao, "Sister Xiao, can you help me with my studies when you have time?"
Yu Xiao looked at her, feeling a little distressed. If she didn't leave the hospital, how could she tutor Xiaozhen? But she changed her mind and thought that Xiaozhen would forget it after she was discharged, so it was okay to agree.
"Okay." Yu Xiao said, "I'll tutor you."
"Sister Xiao, you're so nice~" Zhou Xiaozhen thought, "By the way, Sister Lan, when will the brother you sponsor take the college entrance examination?"
Zhao Lan: "In the same year as you."
"Oh~" Zhou Xiaozhen frowned, "Oh, I wonder if that little brother will be admitted to this city? Anyway, I will definitely apply to a local university. I don't want to be separated from you two~"
"I'm a little hungry." Zhao Lan was indeed hungry. She didn't have a meal before, and was chased by ghosts everywhere. After so much trouble, she was even hungrier now.
She walked to the door and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Zhou Xiaozhen raised her hand, "Sweet and sour pork ribs!"
"What about you?" Zhao Lan looked at Yu Xiao, "What do you want to eat, Xiaoxiao?"
Yu Xiao sat in the chair blankly. She didn't feel hungry anymore. Maybe because she was not destined to die yet, she didn't want to eat people, but she didn't want to eat human food either. She sat there blankly for a long time, her mind was blank. After a long while, she said, "I'll eat whatever you eat."
When they were eating, the four of them sat around the table.
Yu Xiao was holding a bowl with some dishes in it. She picked up a piece of potato shreds and put it into her mouth, chewing mechanically. Meng Yan looked at her with some concern. Zhao Lan asked, "Don't you have an appetite?"
"Yeah." Yu Xiao nodded and said, "Go to bed early tonight. Maybe you can be discharged tomorrow."
"So soon?" Zhou Xiaozhen was a little surprised.
"Yeah." Yu Xiao said, "Because they are sold in the mall, Lu Xun and his team can't compare to the mall's customer base. There are so many patients in the three hospitals, and many of them need props and function cards. Now that there are cheap props for sale, they are almost rushing to buy them, and more than half of the props have been sold."
"How do you know that more than half have been sold?" Zhou Xiaozhen looked at her eagerly, "You don't have the forum of the Third Hospital and the Fifth Hospital."
Yu Xiao covered up and said, "Meng Yan told me."
Meng Yan, who was eating fish, raised his head and said, "Yes, I told her."
"Meng Yan, you are also very good." Zhou Xiaozhen said with emotion: "When I first met you, you even wanted to kill Xiaojie in order to keep her. But now you have completely changed. In order to help Xiaojie get out of the hospital, you even helped us sell props."
Meng Yan glanced at Yu Xiao, then lowered his head to eat fish without saying a word.
Zhao Lan gave Zhou Xiaozhen a look, asking her to stop talking. What if Meng Yan said that she was sad, and he couldn't get over it and wanted to keep Xiaoxiao?
That night, Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen went to bed early. After a day of tossing and turning, they were very tired.
Yu Xiao lay motionless on the bed with her eyes closed. Now she no longer needed to sleep. If she didn't sleep, Meng Yan didn't want to sleep either. Turned into a cat, moving around at the end of the bed.
Yu Xiao kicked Meng Yan lightly through the quilt, "Don't move."
Meng Yan's head popped out from under the quilt, and he said, "Can I not be the security director?"
"Then what do you want to do?" Yu Xiao looked at him with his eyes downcast.
Meng Yan said, "I don't want to do anything, I just want to stay by your side."
Yu Xiao thought for a while, and said, "Then you can be my secretary, but you have to help me find a suitable candidate for the security director."
"Wang Cai is not okay?" Meng Yan asked.
"I hate it." Yu Xiao's tone was cold, "I want it to soak in the stinky gutter forever."
So Meng Yan stopped talking. He liked Yu Xiao, whether he was alive or dead, he liked him. But he was not willing to see Yu Xiao like this. He only felt sad and not happy at all around Yu Xiao like this.
"Ding Dong!"
It was eight o'clock in the morning, and Zhao Lan had a rare nap. After stretching, Zhao Lan opened his eyes and saw Yu Xiao sitting on a chair, and Meng Yan was making tea for her.
"Good morning." Zhao Lan sat up, "You got up so early, Xiaoxiao."
"The props are almost sold out." Yu Xiao took the teacup, "The points are enough."
"Really?" Zhao Lan ran out of bed without even wearing shoes.
Yu Xiao raised her hand, and the mobile phone page was her forum background, which showed that she already had 6423 points.
"Oh my God." Zhao Lan felt very unreal, "It's enough so quickly..."
Yu Xiao lowered his head and said, "I will transfer the points to you now."
Zhao Lan's mobile phone rang, and he received a text message.
"The heir of the deaf will give you 2141 points. Your current points are 2213."
