Old people often say that if you hear someone calling your name from behind when you are walking at night, never turn around and look back, because people have three yang fires, which are separated from the shoulders and the heavenly spirit. If you turn around and look back, you will blow out your own shoulders. If your Yang fire increases your Yin energy, "those" things will take advantage of you.
"Chen Mo!"
A voice came from the darkness behind him. The boy who was called was stunned for a moment, and slowly turned his head to look back, but he didn't find a single figure in the darkness behind him.
"Ha! I must have heard wrong. How could someone call my name?" Chen Mo laughed at himself softly, tightened his clothes and continued to walk forward.
Going home every night, Chen Mo always has to pass this sparsely populated street. This street is far away from the bustling city and abandoned on the edge of the city. Even the few worn-out street lamps died gloriously a few days ago. I heard that It is said that he fell victim to the slingshot practice of children from a nearby village.
You must know that in this era, if there are still children playing with slingshots instead of high-tech toys, you can realize that Chen Mo and this street seem to have been abandoned by the city to a quite remote place.
"Chen MoChen Mo!"
The voice sounded again in the darkness behind Chen Mo, this time twice in succession, and it felt much closer than the last time.
"Who? Who is there?" Chen Mo looked back, but still didn't see half a figure, and he took a few steps forward into the darkness in confusion.
In this strange city where he had just stayed for less than half a year, Chen Mo seemed to have never interacted with anyone. He was always alone, and some people even actively avoided him.
"Go away, leave this town, you are a nemesis and will definitely bring bad luck to this town!"
"Yes! Get out!"
"Get out of here! Now!"
Amid the rejection of the town residents, Chen Mo left the town where he had lived for more than ten years. The person who came to pick him up was a strange man who claimed to be Chen Mo's distant relative. He looked very slovenly. His hair was unkempt and his beard was still stained with the remains of food he had eaten on an unknown day. Judging from his age, he was probably in his thirties.
The residents in the town said that Chen Mo was a nemesis. He killed his mother when he was just born, causing severe labor bleeding and severe labor bleeding. The reason why Chen Mo was born was because Chen Mo¡¯s father reached into his abdomen and killed Chen Mo alive. Pulled out of the dead mother's womb.
And every once in a while, some bad luck would befall Chen Mo and his father.
The family's savings were bitten by mice, the house was struck by lightning, then Chen Mo was sent away by the flood, and his father lost a leg to save him. Finally, when Chen Mo was eighteen years old, according to the In the words of the residents of the town, "The father who suffered so much was finally killed by Chen Mo!"
Walking on the dark and shabby streets, Chen Mo lowered his head and recalled all the past events in his mind. The guy called "father" at least never disliked him and always tried his best to protect him, even there. During the period when Duan and Chen Mo himself had abandoned themselves, the guy called "father" still tried so hard to pull himself out of the self-isolation of "abandonment".
Thinking of this, Chen Mo's eyes gradually became moist, and the sadness in his heart stung him bit by bit. He did not notice at all that in the darkness behind him, there was a "thing" approaching him with a ferocious face. In that In the eyes of "Thing", there was only a faint flame dancing on the top of Chen Mo's head.
"Meow!"
Just when the "thing" was about to reach out and touch Chen Mo, a black cat suddenly jumped out from the side, with the hair on its body standing on end, and let out a sharp cry at the "thing". The "thing" was unwilling to give up. With a low roar, the ethereal figure instantly disappeared into the darkness.
"Night!"
Chen Mo was awakened from his memories by the familiar meowing of a cat. He turned around and hugged the black cat on the ground into his arms. He glanced at the darkness with some confusion, as if he felt something was there.
[Illusion, right? ] Chen Mo thought in his heart, and put his right hand on the black cat's back and stroked the hair gently, "Xiaoye, are you waiting here for me to come back again? You're so good!"
Chen Mo buried his head in the black cat's fur, with a happy smile on his face. After rubbing it back and forth a few times, he held the black cat in his arms, quickened his pace, and ran towards the "home" in small steps.
After being brought to this city by the man who claimed to be Chen Mo's distant relative, Chen Mo was arranged to live in that house far away from the city. It was a bit far-fetched to say that it was in the suburbs of the city. From Chen Mo's school to this There was only a dilapidated old bus nearby. After arriving at the station at the edge of the suburbs, Chen Mo still had to walk for an hour.You can reach your residence on the right side.
After being picked up, Chen Mo was thrown into the old house, and the man who claimed to be a distant relative never showed up again. He only paid a relatively rich sum of money into Chen Mo's card on time every month. living expenses.
It is said to be an old house, but in fact it only looks old from the outside. Although the built-in appliances and decorations are not luxurious, they are still equipped that ordinary people don't have. Only Chen Mo lives in the three-story small bungalow.
By the way, there is the black cat. From the moment Chen Mo moved into that "home", the black cat had been in the room. I don't know if it was raised by a distant relative or a wild cat that ran in from outside.
Whether it was the former or the latter, Chen Mo had no way of getting an answer. In the past six months or so, the distant relative had only contacted him twice on a single line. He only exchanged a few words and then hung up. The old-fashioned There was no caller ID function on the plane, so Chen Mo couldn't proactively contact the distant relative.
In this strange and deserted city, the only person Chen Mo was willing to talk to and communicate with was the black cat. Over time, Chen Mo regarded the black cat as his only friend, a person who was willing to lie lazily. A friend who sleeps in his arms and listens to his nagging and suffering, a friend who will never have a verbal dispute with him, a friend who only belongs to him.
"Xiaoye, I'm home! What do you want to eat tonight?" Chen Mo held the black cat with one hand and looked at the old watch on his left hand through the dim street light on the eaves. The time was: 11:05.
Reaching out to take out the key from his trouser pocket, Chen Mo opened the door and entered the room as usual. He habitually turned on the main light in the room, but was surprised to see a man sitting on the sofa in the main hall with his legs crossed. , eyes under black sunglasses were staring at the somewhat surprised Chen Mo.
"You're back? It seems a little late!" The man in a suit took off his black sunglasses and took out his mobile phone to check the time. "Let me do the math. I have been waiting for two hours. You know, I don't have time." So relaxed!¡±
"Who are you? Why are you at my house?" Chen Mo put the black cat in his hand on the ground, walked to the kitchen, took a box of milk from the refrigerator, poured it into the cat tray in the corner, and stuffed it into his mouth After eating a piece of bread, Chen Mo walked to the sofa next to him and sat down.
"Didn't he tell you that I was coming for ward rounds?" The man in a suit stood up and cracked his neck a few times.
"Ward rounds?" Chen Mo recalled that when he received a call from a distant relative some time ago, he did confess that someone would come to check the ward in the near future, but Chen Mo didn't understand what he meant by "ward rounds". What do you mean? Before I could ask in detail, the call over there had already been hung up.
"Are you the one who came for ward rounds? Please help yourself!" Chen Mo chewed the bread in his mouth, called the black cat who had finished drinking milk into his arms, and gently stroked its hair. If it were before, Chen Mo would still be a little scared and worried when a stranger suddenly appeared at home, but within half a year after coming here, Chen Mo had gotten used to it.
Accustomed to indifference, accustomed to silence, accustomed to hiding their fears and fears deep in their hearts, not letting anyone notice or touch them. People always keep a little distance from unknown things or unfamiliar people. Will be polite as a courtesy.
No one will rashly attack an "enemy" they don't understand, because deep down in their hearts they are worried and afraid that the other party may be invincible to them.
Chen Mo took advantage of this fear of being bullied by strangers. He did not socialize with his classmates in the school, and did not let anyone know about his affairs. He was cold and taciturn. This was why he had not been affected by anything in the past six months. A little bit of bullying and hurt.
When he first arrived, Chen Mo was scared like ordinary people. In this house far away from the city, Chen Mo was trembling with fear. He often heard some strange and scary sounds, and he became scared at night. It was difficult to fall asleep. A person huddled up under the quilt, his body was shaking, and he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the corner of the quilt. He gradually fell asleep in this frightened fear, and then woke up again, listening to some scary and unfamiliar sounds coming from all around. Suffering from fear and insecurity.
Until one day, the black cat jumped into his bed. Chen Mo suddenly felt at ease. Holding the black cat in his arms, Chen Mo fell asleep peacefully. Gradually, he learned to disguise himself in life and bury his own secrets deeply. Fearful and uneasy, I became cold and taciturn, and gradually forgot the feeling of fear.
"Aren't you afraid? For me, a stranger?" The man in a suit looked a little surprised. He felt inexplicably curious about Chen Mo's unusual behavior.
"Afraid? Why?" Chen Mo replied expressionlessly.
The man in a suit was speechless by Chen Mo's answer. He chuckled to cover up his embarrassment, "Haha, interesting children! Where do they live?"??? Call them out! "
"Them? Who? I only live here alone," Chen Mo replied in confusion.
"Oh? Don't you know?" The man in the suit suddenly smiled evilly, took out a black book from his arms, and after flipping through a few pages, the man in the suit whispered a name: "Crybaby!"
Just when Chen Mo was puzzled by the call of the man in a suit, a low voice suddenly responded: "Here!"
Then Chen Mo stared with incredible eyes as a phantom emerged from the wall. It was only the size of a baby, wearing a white sheet and holding a roll of toilet paper in its hand.
After watching the translucent figure emerge strangely from the wall, Chen Mo stepped back suddenly and exclaimed: "This what is this!"
