Seeing her worried look, Jiang Chen comforted her, "Sister Hong, don't think too much. People without evil in their hearts will not become bad people even if their methods are a little violent."
Sister Hong's brain twitched and she asked, "What if there's a demon in your heart?"
Jiang Chen pondered for a long time, his eyes gazing into the darkness in the distance. He muttered to himself, "As long as there is a devil in one's heart, there is no Buddha in the world."
This moment.
It seems to be a biological instinct.
Sister Hong's hair stood on end. She felt a terrifying crisis like an endless ocean from Jiang Chen. At this moment, he was like an abyss that would swallow people up with just one look.
She was drenched in cold sweat.
Breathing quickens.
When he came to his senses again, Jiang Chen had regained his harmless demeanor and was walking towards the building in front, waving and shouting, "Follow me."
Looking at the boy's thin back.
Sister Hong had a complicated expression on her face and she followed in big strides.
…
When the two came up, the only building with lights on in this building, or in the entire deserted urban village, was 301, and its door was ajar.
A woman's nagging could be heard from inside.
"Zhang Xiaohao, why hasn't your sister come back yet? Come out of the room quickly and go look for her with me and dad!"
"Sister-in-law, do you want me to go with you?" A man's voice soon sounded again.
But the woman immediately changed her mind: "Forget it, she will come back later."
Jiang Chen listened at the door for a while.
Some doubts.
"This woman seems to be very afraid of her brother-in-law?"
"Even if they need to find someone, it should be an adult. She deliberately brought her son along before. Could it be that she wanted the whole family to stay away from her brother-in-law?"
"The little boy in the "Friends" incident is Zhang Xiaohao." Sister Hong whispered in the back.
Jiang Chen nodded.
He still remembered the little girl Zhang Xiaoyu he had killed before. It seemed that the daughter of this family would not come back tonight.
He knocked on the door.
Soon a woman came to open the door. She looked to be about forty years old and was wearing a loose apron.
After seeing the two of them, the woman's eyes showed a barely perceptible smile, and she deliberately put on a vigilant expression: "What's the matter?"
"Sister, our car is out of gas. It's late at night, and there's only this urban village around. Who knew that several buildings were empty? We finally found a place with lights on."
"Can I stay here for one night?"
Hearing this, the woman nodded and said, "Is that so? Then come in. Everyone encounters some difficulties when they go out."
After entering the door.
Jiang Chen and Sister Hong saw that there was a man sitting on the sofa, someone was taking a shower in the bathroom, and the sound of cooking could be heard from the kitchen.
"This is my brother-in-law. I'm going to help my husband cook. You guys can stay in my son's room. I'll sleep with him later."
The furniture in the house is very old, and the lights are still old-fashioned tungsten filament lamps, but it is very clean and tidy, and exudes the warmth of a small family everywhere.
The man on the sofa glanced at the two of them, said nothing more, and turned his head to continue watching TV.
Jiang Chen noticed it at this time.
The woman's movements as she walked towards the kitchen were a bit strange. One foot was deep and the other was shallow. The swing of her arms was also weird, as if they were of different lengths. In short, her body movements were extremely uncoordinated.
Jiang Chen didn't say much.
He turned to look at the room the woman had pointed to, walked over and pushed open the door.
There was no light on inside. With the light from the window, the two of them saw a little boy squatting in the corner, facing the empty shadow, and seemed to be saying something.
After the two came in, he stopped and turned to look over.
Saw two strangers.
The eleven-year-old boy was not too surprised. After glancing coldly at the two of them, he turned his head and continued to stare at the shadows.
I don’t know whether I was talking to these two people or to someone else.
"Who are you?"
"Just passing by, your mother agreed that we stay here tonight."
"You've been deceived. She is not my mother, at least not completely." The boy said in a calm tone, something that made Sister Hong shudder.
