    The car was driving smoothly on the road. Wang Zhi said something harsh about what happened yesterday. His daughter had been ignoring him since she came out of kindergarten.  Wang Zhi had no choice but to tease her while driving.  "Zhuzhu, can daddy watch Big Wolf with you later?" "No." The daughter replied angrily.  "After dinner, daddy will take you to ride the rocking car, okay?" "No." The daughter is determined to fight her dad to the end.  "How about dad buy you a cake?" From the rearview mirror, you can see that your daughter hesitated obviously and stopped playing in her hands.  After a long time, he gently replied: "Okay." Wang Zhi couldn't help laughing.  The salesperson handed the cake to Wang Zhi, and his daughter hurriedly took out a red thing from her mouth, opening her mouth wide as she waited for her father to feed her.  Wang Zhi shook his head and handed the cake to his daughter.  "Eat it yourself." So she held the cake with one hand and ate it happily.  "Zhuzhu, do you like daddy?" "Yes." "Then show daddy what you have in your hand, okay?" From just now, Wang Zhi noticed that his daughter was playing with something small in the back seat of the car.  She ate it to her stomach.  "Okay." The child really didn't hold grudges and complied with his father's request without hesitation.  Wang Zhi put his daughter on the back seat of the car and then carefully looked at the things in his hands.  It is like a drop-shaped jade pendant, and it is of good quality, but the color is deep red.  Wang Zhi held it high and faced the sun. He could faintly see that it was flowing like water waves inside. There was a little dark red in the center, which looked very beautiful.  The surface of jade is very moist and a little cool.  Wang Zhi stroked it, feeling very good.  Such jade should be worth a lot of money. How did it get into the hands of my daughter?  "Zhuzhu, where did you get this?" He bent down, and his daughter's face was covered with cream, so he had to help her wipe it first.  "Auntie gave it to me." The daughter had completely forgotten her father's misfortunes and seemed to be in a good mood.  "Which aunt is it?" Wang Zhi was a little strange. There should be no one around him who would be so exaggerated and give good jade to children to play with.  "Yesterday's aunt." My daughter replied in a sweet voice.  Wang Zhi suddenly felt a little creepy, and the hairs on his body stood up.  "Is it Guoguo's mother?" he asked tentatively.  "It was the bad aunt at home yesterday." The daughter suddenly became unhappy, as if she remembered that she was clearly angry with her father just now, so how could she suddenly forget it.  Wang Zhi asked her no more questions, but she didn't answer.  When I returned home a little dejected, Li Mi was already cooking.  Wang Zhi showed her the piece of jade and asked her if she had seen it before.  Li Mi said a little strangely: "This is a piece of jade, right? Where can I find dark red jade? Where did you get it from?" Wang Zhi did not dare to speak directly, so he hesitated and confused.  His daughter was watching TV in the living room. He subconsciously went upstairs and opened the study door.  The thing is still on the desk, but it looks gray and lackluster at all, as if it has suddenly lost its spirituality.  Wang Zhi felt a little nervous. After hesitating for a while, he finally walked in.  He took out the piece of jade from his pocket and placed it next to the thing.  The thing suddenly lit up, but when Wang Zhi looked carefully, it was still gray.  Wang Zhi took out the photos taken the day before yesterday. The contrast between the things in the photos and the real objects was so great that it was almost impossible to tell that they were the same item.  He sat blankly for a while, then took out the phone.  A long wait.  "Hello? Hello, I'm Lu Lou." It was still the same energetic voice.  "Old Lu, I'm Wang Zhi." Wang Zhi was chatting with Lu Lou on the phone and chatting about some insignificant things before turning the topic to that thing. However, Lu Lou's answer was the same as when he delivered the thing the day before yesterday.  It's not that different.  He saw the thing when he visited a student's home. At that time, it was placed among a pile of debris. Seeing that Lu Lou was interested in it, the herdsman insisted on giving it to him. He declined for a while and then accepted it.  Lu Lou was packing his things after returning to K City. He remembered that he still owed Wang Zhi a favor, so he packed this thing and sent it over.  Wang Zhi cautiously asked if anything strange happened after getting this thing. Lu Lou said no, and then asked Wang Zhi strangely what happened. Wang Zhi hurriedly moved away.??Topic.  Lu Lou talked excitedly about his preparations to go abroad, but Wang Zhi had no choice but to continue chatting perfunctorily.  After finally hanging up the phone, Li Mi called for dinner downstairs. Wang Zhi stood up and walked to the door.  Then he quickly walked back and put the piece of jade and everything related to that thing on the table into the bottom cabinet of the bookcase.  And then locked it up.  Wang Zhi didn¡¯t stay up late that day. He went to bed with his wife and daughter very early.  But he couldn't sleep.  The bedroom is diagonally opposite to the study, and both doors are not closed.  From his position, he could just see a corner of the desk, but not all of it.  He always had a feeling that the thing was not locked by him, but returned to the desk, emitting the same enchanting light as the first day.  As his wife and daughter fell asleep, this feeling became stronger and stronger, making him restless.  Sometimes a car would pass by downstairs and the light would be reflected in the study, and he would think that thing had come out again.  There seemed to be something whispering in the darkness, and there were strange noises on the ceiling from time to time. The windows were obviously closed, but he always felt that the curtains were fluttering.  Finally, he jumped up, rushed to the study door, and quickly closed the door.  Maybe it was because the sound of closing the bedroom door was too loud, or maybe it was because his cold and trembling body alerted his wife. Li Mi turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" "No, it's nothing. Go to sleep." Wang Zhi replied in a low voice.  He couldn't control his shaking body.  The sheets were soaked with sweat, and there were waves of coldness behind him.  The moment he closed the door, he clearly saw a red thing on the desk, which was shining strangely.  Wang Zhi told himself that that night was just an illusion.  Of course, that could only be an illusion. When he opened the door the next morning, he saw it from a distance and found that the desk was empty and there was nothing.  He also searched secretly in the study, but there was nothing red.  Except for the one in the cupboard.  But he didn¡¯t open the cabinet to check because it wasn¡¯t necessary.  Of course that thing is there, and so is the piece of jade. He put it in with his own hands, so where else could it be?  Only he has the key, and no one will touch that cabinet, so those things must be there.  There is no need to open it and take a look.  He kept saying this to himself.  There¡¯s nothing to worry about, it¡¯s just a coincidence.  Or it¡¯s a hallucination.  That thing is an uncommon magic weapon.  The color change is due to oxidation that occurs in humid weather.  As for the daughter, she just picked up a piece of jade somewhere, and then lied randomly because she was angry at her father for scolding her.  ¡°Of course that woman doesn¡¯t exist, it¡¯s just a lie made up by the daughter because she was afraid of being scolded.  That¡¯s all.  He told himself this.  But he still didn¡¯t have the courage to sit alone in the study at night, so he went to bed very early these days.  Li Mi felt something strange about him, and he explained that it was because he was too tired from work, so Li Mi happily accepted such a sweet change. The family of three went to bed on time at ten o'clock every day and slept together.  The only thing she couldn't understand was that Wang Zhi insisted on closing both doors before going to bed every day.  His wife and daughter fell asleep very quickly, but Wang Zhi always found it difficult to fall asleep. He lay in bed with his eyes open every night, thinking wildly in his mind, and could not fall asleep until very late.  Regarding the sounds at night, various explanations can be found on the Internet.  Some are the sound of wind, some are small animals moving, and some are houses physically shrinking.  As a person who graduated from science and engineering, he rationally told himself that all this has a scientific basis and can be completely explained.  His life is too dull, and because he stays up late for a long time, he also has some mental problems.  Therefore, the thing Lu Lou gave him inspired his fantasy and left a subconscious impression in his heart.  These hallucinations are due to his deep desire for change and adventure.  Just as he likes to collect some strange things, it is also a reflection of his desire for adventure.  But he still couldn't suppress the unexplainable panic in his heart.
