Yuan Yuanyuan's steps were very hurried.
She lowered her head and walked into an alley. She felt nervous as she heard footsteps approaching from behind her.
Two hours had passed since I returned from the supermarket, and it was already completely dark.
However, Yuan Yuanyuan still didn't return home.
...The voice behind her was following her closely, and she didn't dare to leave.
Yuan Yuanyuan gritted her teeth, looked at the time, and continued walking forward with her head down, but she had already taken out her knife in her hand.
Now she seems to be caught in a vicious circle.
Two hours ago, when Yuan Yuanyuan came out of the supermarket, she headed straight for home. She knew she was in a dangerous situation, so she chose to walk to some remote places. However, even so, someone soon spotted her.
After all, there are many monsters in this area, and she is not the only one who chooses to live here.
Yuan Yuanyuan thought she had been careful enough, but there were too many sharp-eyed monsters.
She forced herself to suppress her evil spirit and tried hard to pretend to be an ordinary person. Because she hid it quite well, a few monsters only stared at her for a while and then slowly left.
Yuan Yuanyuan had been paying attention to what was behind her, and was relieved when she saw those people leave. However, even so, there were still a few people who were unwilling to give up and were hanging around behind her, not too far away.
She couldn't walk straight home like that because it was dangerous.
She was afraid that the people hanging behind her would follow her back home.
With this thought in mind, Yuan Yuanyuan circled around here for two hours. She tried to shake off the monster behind her, but the monster not only did not get rid of her, but it got closer and closer.
This can’t go on any longer... Yuan Yuanyuan glanced at the familiar alley not far away.
I don’t care.
At this point, she really had no other choice but to use the dumbest trick.
——She would rush back to her home first. According to what Ji Qiu said, she should be able to change back to her original form soon. Even if those people chased her, she would insist that she knew nothing. After all, they were two completely different monsters and there would be no evidence.
...Well, she will face various doubts and questions later.
That’s why Yuan Yuanyuan said this was the dumbest move.
Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly ran very fast. The monster that had been following her obviously didn't expect her to have such a trick. After a moment of hesitation, it reacted and started to chase after her.
Yuan Yuanyuan ran as fast as she could and soon reached the downstairs of her house. Feeling that she was finally saved, she was about to climb in through the window, but unexpectedly, she froze.
She stood at the window, her hands and feet cold.
A feeling of despair that I had never felt before filled my heart.
A beautiful symbol appeared on the window. Purple patterns intertwined to form a slightly strange totem, which looked like a beautiful window grille on the clean glass.
…
This is a symbol of identity, and it is something that Yuanyuan can only get in exchange for paying rent to Sister Xue every month.
This thing can be likened to the doorbell of the monster world. Anyway, it is something like this. With this, as long as a strange monster wants to enter her home, this standard will be revealed.
Damn, how can I be a stranger? I just changed my face!
Yuan Yuanyuan was so angry that she almost raised her middle finger to her own window...
The shadow behind him was getting closer and closer. He realized that the man in front of him was most likely the "man in black" that had been rumored these days, so he sped up.
Three minutes later, a dark shadow suddenly passed in front of Yuan Yuanyuan's residential area. He circled around several times and finally stopped in front of a building door.
There are very few monsters in this community, and Yuan Yuanyuan is one of the residents.
The black shadow walked towards the place where the most demonic energy remained in the air, and finally slowly arrived at the door of Yuan Yuanyuan's home.
He was about to push the door when he suddenly saw a purple pattern on it.
After a pause, he put his hand down.
…
Yuan Yuanyuan was lying quietly on her side in a strange place.
She had a blank expression on her face, without a trace of emotion, and her whole body was radiating coldness from the inside out.
She felt that she was having difficulty breathing, which was not good for her because she had been holding her aura for too long and was now at the stage where she could no longer hold on.
…The principle of holding back your breath is different from holding back your fart, but some things are the same, that is, once you can’t breathe, you are very likely to expose your guts.
Yuan Yuanyuan pulled back the quilt covering her head and wanted to stick her head out to take a breath, but was suddenly pressed down hard by a hand.
That was not the end. After the owner of the hand pressed her down, he was obviously afraid that she would stick her head out again, so he took out another thick blanket from somewhere and covered Yuan Yuanyuan with it again...
Yuan Yuanyuan felt the weight on her body getting heavier and heavier. There were constant noises outside, clanging and banging. It seemed that in the end, it was not just the quilt that was pressing on her.
Half an hour later, she took a deep breath and prepared to stick her head out again, but the person outside tried to push her back. Yuan Yuanyuan had no choice but to say helplessly, "It's okay, the person is gone."
...The atmosphere outside was quiet. Yuan Yuanyuan finally crawled out from the mess. As she stood up, a pile of things fell off her.
Yuan Yuanyuan glanced at it with her peripheral vision and saw a quilt, clothes, and books.
Well, if she was not mistaken, there was even a pillow doll and tickle in there…
Cough cough.
She looked face to face at the two girls in front of her, one was Xiaoying and the other was Xiaoying's classmate.
At this moment, the two of them were watching Yuan Yuanyuan slowly climbing up from the bottom of the "hill", and the expressions on their faces were so wonderful.
…
Just when the shadow was about to catch up, Yuan Yuanyuan was still at a loss in front of her window. Unexpectedly, the window next to her was suddenly pushed open. Xiaoying, who came to open the window, tilted her head and saw Yuan Yuanyuan squatting on the balcony...
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and the expression on Xiaoying's face became more and more upset. Yuan Yuanyuan said at this critical moment: "Go back, someone is chasing me."
...However, the ending was unexpected. Yuan Yuanyuan was dragged into the house by Xiaoying, hidden in the bedroom, and a bunch of things were pressed on her body.
Yuan Yuanyuan thought about when she was in junior high school. If she met a strange man entering her house, and this man seemed to have come from nowhere... No, not from nowhere. She is now called "a magical creature that looks like a monster."
No one in the small bedroom said anything. Suddenly, Xiaoying's mother's voice came from outside, "Xiaoying? What are you and Li Xin doing in the room?"
"Nothing, nothing." Xiaoying turned around and shouted outside, "Mom, is there anything to eat at home? I didn't eat enough tonight."
"Yes, go get it yourself." Xiaoying's mother called out again from outside, and then stopped talking.
Li Xin looked at Yuan Yuanyuan for a long while, then stretched out a finger, poked Xiaoying next to him and said, "He is...who is that?"
"Um."
Yuan Yuanyuan lowered her head and wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere. She felt that the two girls opposite her would be quite panicked in the current situation.
Before she could even open her mouth, the girl opposite who was just called "Li Xin" suddenly whispered to Xiaoying: "Are you crazy? Are you still going to hide him here?"
"What else can we do if we don't hide here?" Xiaoying also shouted at Li Xin in a low voice, "Someone is chasing him."
"Oh my god..." Li Xin pulled Xiaoying over and whispered in her ear, "This is a monster! Monster! Don't think he saved you before, he might have killed someone! He might even be a dangerous person! You're asking for death, where are your mom and dad?"
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the two people whispering to each other and felt that they probably didn't know that monsters have excellent hearing.
She turned her head away a little embarrassedly, as if she didn't hear the quarrel between the two people, and looked up at the surrounding environment.
It’s a very cozy house, mostly pink. Although the layout is the same, it’s much better than her room.
There was no way, she had no money, and the only valuable thing in the bedroom was a small yellow lamp.
The two people in front of her were still arguing, but Yuan Yuanyuan inexplicably felt like laughing. These two people had greeted her in the morning, but now they started quarreling, and the lines sounded... quite like something out of a melodrama.
"Why don't you use your brain? Your parents are so old, why do you want to involve them in this matter?"
"Oh...what should I do then?"
"You two are not the same kind of people at all. And if you drag him into the house, it's easy for something to go wrong. What if he keeps hiding in your house in the future?"
Yuan Yuanyuan sat under the quilt, and actually felt like watching a play, all she needed was a handful of melon seeds...
Well, if she continues to be so poor, she will definitely not be able to pay the Internet fee next month. There is a ready-made TV series to watch, so why not...
And the reflection is so real, no matter how much money you spend, you can't get this effect.
"Well, what should we do?" Xiaoying looked like she was about to cry. Li Xin slapped her on the thigh and said, "Don't say anything. Let me handle this."
She suddenly walked in front of Yuan Yuanyuan and faced her. Yuan Yuanyuan had just been looking at the chandelier above her head, but now she turned her head.
"Are you injured anywhere?" Li Xin said, "Do you want to eat something? What do you want to eat?"
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Li Xin.
Li Xin's expression was calm, but there was a hint of nervousness inside that he was trying hard to hide.
Yuan Yuanyuan saw her own shadow in her black eyes.
A very slender man with an expressionless face, black hair and black eyes.
To be honest, this face looks very good... to use a slightly strange word, "like it came out of a comic book."
But Yuan Yuanyuan put herself in his shoes and thought about it. If she had encountered such a thing when she was in high school, no matter how handsome the man was, she would have been scared to death.
…
She shook her head, not wanting to tease them anymore, and was about to get up and leave, but Xiaoying behind her suddenly stood up and disappeared.
Li Xin had been staring nervously at the strange man in front of him. Suddenly, he saw Xiaoying leave. He was startled. Before he could call for help, he saw Xiaoying come back.
Xiaoying held a large, cold bag of things in her hands, and stuffed them into Yuan Yuanyuan's hands.
Her face was full of tears. She didn't know if she was scared by Li Xin's words or what.
"Let's go... let's go quickly, don't come back..." Xiaoying stuffed the bag into Yuan Yuanyuan's hand, then pushed Yuan Yuanyuan out, "Let's go quickly!"
...Yuan Yuanyuan looked confused.
"They are very dangerous, don't get close to them." Xiaoying hugged Yuan Yuanyuan's waist and pushed her out. "Don't believe what they say, and don't save them. We are all bad."
"...Wait a minute, Xiaoying, you stay still." Li Xin said in a low voice: "...Let's take it slow."
Xiaoying didn't reply to Li Xin. Seeing that Yuan Yuanyuan was still not leaving, she grabbed the itchy stick that had just been pressing on Yuan Yuanyuan and slapped her on the back. "Hurry up! Find a place to hide and don't show up. This is not fun. Hurry up!"
It’s not that Yuan Yuanyuan didn’t want to leave...she just didn’t follow Xiaoying’s train of thought.
She was chased out in a daze, broke the monster doorbell and went home in a daze, sat on the sofa in a daze, and still hadn't come to her senses.
Her appearance had changed back to normal, from that man's face to her own face, but she still felt confused. Overall, everything that happened today was very confusing.
She sat on the sofa for a long time. Suddenly, she remembered something and opened the plastic bag that Xiaoying had just given her. Many of the ice cubes in the bag were about to melt.
Very cold and red.
It seems to be... spare ribs.
There are twenty pieces of ribs in a pound...so there should be about a hundred pieces.
Sitting on the sofa, Yuan Yuanyuan's mind suddenly came back to her senses. She looked at the pork in her arms, was silent for three seconds, put away the plastic bag, and then put it in the refrigerator.
Actually...it's not that bad.
