Seven Evil Slips:

How many times did Kiyo ask her "what's the matter", but Kiyo didn't open his mouth. In the end, his legs suddenly gave way and he almost fell down, and said, "Luo Ren, I need to find a place to wash."

She seemed to have suddenly realized that her body was sloppy, and desperately wiped her face with the back of her hand, then turned her back to avoid the eyes of passers-by. Luo Ren wiped it for her with a handkerchief.

Kiyo murmured, "You bring a lot of handkerchiefs."

Luo Ren didn't say a word. Actually, it was a coincidence. He bought it when he was strolling around tonight. He doesn't usually use it. He saw it by accident just now. He thought, there is a small tear pot by his side, and he usually needs to keep one or two with him. good.

Carefully selected a few, to be generous and appropriate, not to look like a mother-in-law. As a result, I didn’t expect that they were all smeared with red oil, rubbed into a ball, and thrown into the trash can. It was so clean before, and in a flash , a pile of rags.

Finally wiped her face clean, and helped her smooth the peppercorns in her hair.

Shun is not clean, one by one, so many, Kiyo shook his head, looked around in a panic, and said in a daze: "I want to find a place to wash, it's terribly dirty."

Looking down, some red rapeseed has been poured into the mouth of the boot, and I feel guilty, and without thinking, I take off the boot and throw it into the trash can.

Luo Ren followed her and said, "My place is close, go to my place to wash first."

Luo Ren helped Mudai get a set of Pingting's clothes, and while she was waiting for her to take a shower, he came down to look for the restaurant owner again.

The fat boss tried his best to clarify.

In his words, he didn't know what the antecedent was. He just happened to catch up with a large group of guests who had just left after eating. He stared, his eyes dodging and his face turned pale, standing in front of him was a thin woman in her forties wearing a tourist cap.

Then, the woman came in, walked straight to a table, and seemed to know the person at that table. The boss thought she was going to sit down to eat, but who knew she picked up the soup bowl and walked out.

"Who would have thought that she was going to throw people, I was still surprised, and said in my heart, don't take the soup bowl away from me, who knew that when she walked to the door, she threw a splash on the head, and the little girl didn't hide. Just close your eyes and suffer."

Luo Ren's heart tugged lightly: Stupid or not, girl, no matter what the antecedent is, even if it is really your fault, you will apologize after avoiding it.

"Then the woman said, don't eat, can I still eat this! After speaking, she threw the basin and left. The people at the table looked at each other, paid the bill and followed out."

Speaking of this, the boss felt a little distressed: That woman knocked off several pieces of porcelain in his soup bowl, she is really unqualified.

"Have you seen what kind of tour group it is? Is there a logo on the hat?"

The boss was dumbfounded: the tour group coming to Lijiang is like crucian carp crossing the river, the hats are either red or yellow, and the guide flags are either square or oblique triangle, how can he remember clearly.

Luo Ren returned with a lot of thoughts: Was it just an accidental quarrel? not like.

The door was ajar, and Luo Ren's heart skipped a beat. When he left, Kiyo was taking a shower, so he should have closed the door firmly.

He called "Kiyo" tentatively, pushed the door lightly and entered.

Kiyo was covered with a blanket, curled up at the corner of the sofa, Luo Ren thought she was sleeping, subconsciously took a light step, and when he got closer, he realized that her eyes were open.

She said: "I'm so tired, I don't have the strength, I thought I would open the door for you when you came back, it was so troublesome, so I left the door."

Luo Ren smiled, not knowing what to say.

And said: "Can you lend me the sofa to sleep on? I'm very sleepy, and I have no shoes to walk back."

Luo Ren nodded and motioned her to sleep on the bed, the bed is always more comfortable than the sofa.

He watched Kiyo lying on the bed safely, and then he closed the door and went out with confidence.

It's a little cold outside, holding on to the railing, you can see the dark and dark roofs far and near, Luo Ren called the bar and asked Uncle Zhang to answer it.

Uncle Zhang seemed a little displeased, and said: "Girls, why don't you just stay overnight when you are away from home? This should be put in the past..."

If this were to be placed in the past, it would of course be extremely unruly, but it is different now after all. Uncle Zhang complained a few words and passed. Will do something inappropriate: "Then, Luo Ren, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Luo Ren didn't hang up the phone: "Uncle Zhang, has Kiyo had any grudges with anyone?"

Uncle Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed loudly: "Little girl, who can you have a grudge against..."

Luo Ren was not fooled by his specious rhetoric, and calmly told what happened that night.

Uncle Zhang fell silent, Luo Ren asked again: "Uncle Zhang, do you know who it is?"

After a long time, he heard Uncle Zhang's reply: "I don't know who it is, but I probably know it in my heart. It's okay, I'll be fine after a night of sleep, let Kiyo rest well."

Uncle Zhang treats him as an outsider and refuses to speak out, which is understandable, but what does it mean to "get well after a night's sleep", does he use a night's sleep as a painkiller? Or, has something similar happened before?

***

Luo Ren can't sleep, the house has a guest room, even if the room is given up to Kiyo, he won't have a place to sleep, but he just doesn't feel sleepy at all.

He walked upstairs and downstairs several times, passing Zheng Bo's room, and heard the old man coughing and turning over in the room, passing Pin Ting's room, stopped for a long time, and heard Pin Ting's quiet and even breathing.

Passing by Kiyo's door again, he hesitated for a while, and opened the door gently.

In the dark, I can't see clearly, but on the bed...

Luo Ren's heart tightened, and he turned on the light subconsciously. That's right, there was no one on the bed, not only was there no one, the pillows and quilts were all gone.

When did she leave? Luo Ren's scalp was numb, he turned around and wanted to chase out, he took two steps, then stopped suddenly, paused, walked to the front of the cabinet against the wall, and squatted down slowly.

That's right, the sliding door of the closet was originally closed, but now it's wide open, revealing a few strands of Kiyo's hair.

She ran to... sleep in the closet?

While thinking about it, there was movement in the cabinet, Kiyo turned over, his eyes were open, looking at him through the small opening, Luo Ren asked her: "Did I bother you?"

Kiyo shook his head: "I can't sleep, Luo Ren, let's talk for a while."

And said: "Turn off the light, it hurts my eyes."

***

Luo Ren took out a single air mattress from the luggage bag, and the folded one was only the size of a piece of thick clothes. When he took it out, he brought out a small thing, which rolled on the ground.

Luo Ren picked it up and gave it to Kiyo: "It's fun."

Kiyo pushed the sliding door a little further, and took it with his hand. It is an ultra-miniature monocular with a thumb, the size of a miniature medicine bottle, with "madeinrussia" (Made in Russia) printed on the edge, and a steel wire at the other end The loop formed is just enough for the index finger to fit in.

Luo Ren inflated the air bed, such a thin layer actually gradually swelled up, Kiyo put the telescope in front of his eyes, the space in the room is too small, looking through the optical mirror, all the furniture is pulled The extension is huge and weird.

When the lights went out, Kiyo thought: Luo Ren really has a lot of strange things.

***

Placing the air mattress on the floor, Luo Ren lay down, with his hands behind his head, and after his eyes got used to it, the darkness in front of him gradually melted away. Looking to the left, Kiyo's two eyes shrank in the closet It was shiny, reminding him of a little mouse stealing oil for no reason. Looking to the left, it was the window of the neighbor.

The windows in the adjacent street are equipped with glass, which is convenient and transparent. The windows in the neighborhood are pasted with paper to make them old. The windows are fan-shaped and diamond-shaped. Curtains with meandering stripes.

Luo Ren asked her: "Do you want to talk about what happened today?"

She answered irrelevantly: "Luo Ren, what do you do? For the past two years, you have been investigating cases related to Luo Mahu, are you not working?"

Work? Luo Ren chuckled.

Kiyo suddenly realized: "Oh, I remembered, your family is rich."

What does this have to do with money in the family?

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Luo Ren's lips. He stared at the ceiling directly above him, and he didn't know where to start: "I lived at my uncle's house for... more than six years, and then my father Come forward and take me back."

Some relationships are broken and cannot be recovered, not to mention, that age is the most rebellious time.

"I don't have a good relationship with my dad. It's weird. Even my mom is polite and not close. Not to mention there is a second mom who always dangles in front of me. By the way, there is also a very The younger brother whose father changed his heart."

Compared with Pinting's home, it's a world of difference. Who wants to go back to such a home?

I can’t hold back my face when I say it. He consciously doesn’t stay at home and tries his best to make friends outside. You can do whatever you want, as long as you can take him to pass the time. , the more accepted and sought after.

Father became angry and beat him several times. The old man has a way of beating people. He found a bamboo handle from nowhere and split the bottom into strips. He slapped him. There was a clatter, and as soon as I wrote it down, there were blood spots on my back.

While drawing back, he used him as a textbook to educate that younger brother: "Don't learn from this prodigal son!"

Blood was oozing from his back, he didn't say a word, but with a smile on his face, he looked at the strange younger brother nonchalantly, and the little boy flinched and hid all the way back.

The second mother really put in a lot of effort, the little boy who is only less than ten years old, his glasses are already as thick as beer, what do he study all day long? In order to inherit the old man's family property, Jingshiziji Jingshi Raiders?

"Anyway, I have a lot of ways to make my dad skip the entrance exam, hang up lamps on purpose, my dad thought, no matter how bad it is, he must let me have a degree, so he spent a lot of money to let me enter the university. University of money.”

In the dark, he smiled softly: "Thinking about it now, I feel quite naive."

Kiyo leaned on the frame of the cabinet: "And then?"

"After graduating from university, my dad got sick. My mother urged me to go back to bed with me. I didn't. I invited a few friends to play in Southeast Asia. I had so much fun. On the day I was going back to China, my dad called me. Phone calls, international long-distance calls, and later I found out that before that, he was rescued once in a critical condition, and he almost never came back. As a human being, he probably figured out a lot of things, and he thinks that a son like me is not worth it."

So I solemnly called and informed him to cut off the source of income, don't think about a penny of property, and don't enter this house.

It was exactly what he wanted, he did it on purpose, and he felt that it also met everyone's wishes: "My dad let go of my heartache, my second mother is satisfied, my brother doesn't have to be so tired to guard me, and he also succeeded in getting revenge on me." Damn."

"It's none of your mother's business, she's already very angry at home, how sad she is when you are like this."

Luo Ren turned his head, looked into Kiyo's eyes and smiled: "It's really a simple airtight little bag, you think I was almost killed by a car back then, poisoning and gastric lavage, it was really my second mother who played tricks Is it?"

Could it be...

Kiyo was stunned and aphasia: Could it be Luo Ren's own mother? How is this possible?

…

Both of them didn't notice that a ghostly figure floated past on the paper window.
