When he woke up, he was lying on the sofa in the lounge, covered with a thick suit jacket.

Qiao Jing sat aside and looked down at the phone.

Luo Youning struggled to sit up, "Qiao Jing."

Qiao Jing looked up at him: "Are you awake?" He stood up, stretched his arms and touched his forehead, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Luo Youning bent his elbows and supported his forehead. His voice was hoarse, and there seemed to be something stuck in his throat. He always spoke weakly: "Why are you here?"

Qiao Jing said, "Didn't you call me and ask me to come?"

Luo Youning looked puzzled: "I didn't..."

Qiao Jing handed him the phone, and there were several call records in the call log, all of which were his number.

"Maybe I accidentally pressed it," Luo Youning said apologetically, "Sorry, I asked you to come here in the middle of the night."

Qiao Jing said: "The first time I received a call, there was indeed no sound from your side. But when you called again the second time, I heard someone talking on the phone."

- "Come and pick me up."

After a long silence, there was a hissing noise, as well as the undistinguishable male voice, who kept repeating that sentence, and finally almost shouted: "Come and pick me, come and pick me, come and pick me—come and pick me up!" I!"

Luo Youning pursed her lips, her face pale, "Did you see anyone when you came in just now?"

"No, the security guards downstairs are all asleep," Qiao Jing said, "It's a good thing I'm here, otherwise how long are you going to be unconscious on the ground?"

Luo Youning opened his mouth, and quickly swallowed what he wanted to say, "I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize to me," Qiao Jing put away her phone and stood up, "Get up and come back with me."

Luo Youning didn't dare to refuse, he still held Qiao Jing's suit jacket in his arms, stood up and straightened the folds of the hem, and returned it.

Qiao Jing took the coat, turned her arms and put it back on him: "It's windy outside, you put it on first."

Qiao Jing is indifferent, but unexpectedly takes good care of her friends, and can always arrange everything properly when she doesn't expect it.

The suit jacket was wide and wide, and it began to slide down as soon as it was put on him. Luo Youning hurriedly pulled the collars on both sides and put it back on his shoulders.The coat was smoked with a cool fragrance, which smelled like the age-old sandalwood in the ancient temples in the mountains, which was far and quiet.

Luo Youning's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

The lights in the hallway went out.

Only the signs for the safe passage are still on, and the forest light is dark green, illuminating the glass walls on both sides from bottom to top.

The leather shoes stepped on the smooth tile floor, and the echo echoed in the wide corridor.After walking for a long time, it seemed that there was another footstep following behind.

The voice fell behind them, a little far away, as if they were keeping a distance with three steps.

Luo Youning couldn't help turning her head back, the glass wall reflected the cold light of the indicator light.There was a blur of light and shadow, and there seemed to be a dark figure standing indistinctly among them.

The lights in the stairwell are on all night.

Because it has not been baptized by the sun all year round, the narrow cubicle is always cold and eerie.The white wall became potholed due to damp, and mud bubbles of different sizes protruded, like the bulging eyes of a frog, filling the gray wall.

The elevator goes up slowly like a snail, and it takes a long time for the display to enter a single digit.

Luo Youning concentrated on staring at the elevator display screen, he didn't know what to say to Qiao Jing.

Qiao Jing glanced over and fixed on his neck: "Your neck."

Luo Youning looked at the closed door opposite.The smooth mirror reflected the reflections of the two of them, even under the dim light, the bruises on his neck were still clearly visible.

Nightmarish encounters are always like a swim bladder, they are finally pushed out of sight, and come up again after a while.

The rancid smell in the nostrils seemed to be like a shadow, Luo Youning couldn't help but raised his sleeves and sniffed carefully. Fortunately, there was only faint sandalwood, which came from Qiao Jing's coat.

Qiao Jing went straight to the point: "Who did it?"

Luo Youning pursed his lips, his eyes wandered, he glanced at Qiao Jing, and then quickly looked back at the screen.When he spoke, he spoke softly and quickly, as if he wanted to speak to the person in front of him, but he was afraid that he would really hear it clearly: "I seem to have seen Dayu..."

Qiao Jing frowned slightly.

Luo Youning was afraid that he would be angry, so he hesitated to speak but stopped trying to save him. Before he could open his mouth, the elevator came to rescue him.

The metal door slid open in one direction, and the mechanical female voice announced the number of floors.

After all, Qiao Jing didn't reprimand him any more, but let him go ahead and enter the elevator.

The metal doors closed and the elevator clanged and began to descend.

Silence spread in the elevator, Luo Youning felt embarrassed.He was about to find something to say when he heard Qiao Jing suddenly ask him: "Where is the jade lock that Bingwen gave you earlier?"

"Jade lock?" Luo Youning was taken aback for a moment, then touched his neck subconsciously: "There was a sudden crack on it before, and Dayu is going back. It happened a long time ago," he seized the opportunity to talk more about Yu Bingwen with Qiao Jing, However, after thinking about it, there is only one dry sentence: "It's hard for you to remember."

Qiao Jing said: "I remember everything about you."

Naturally, that jade lock Luo Youning would not forget.It was regarded as the first solemn gift Yu Bingwen gave him, and was later dubbed by Yu Bingwen as "a token of love".

After the long half-term of the first year of high school, Qiuhu was wiped out by typhoons repeatedly.

Autumn is crisp and the breeze is pleasant.

After the difficult midterm exam, the senior leader suddenly showed mercy and held an autumn outing.

The location of the autumn outing was chosen after thousands of choices, and finally settled on a small island near the town.

As soon as they got on the bus, the students were in full swing, making the teacher restless.After finally going through a two-hour drive and a half-hour boat ride, when we finally arrived at the pier of the small island, a group of people were so excited that they seemed to be submerged in water, and they all seemed sluggish.

The green mountain rises from the ground and is huge in front of your eyes. It is not too high, but when you reach the top of the blue sky and reach the blue sea, it also has a magnificent beauty.

This small island is famous for enshrining the god of the sea.There is a god temple built on the mountain, with stone pillars supporting the sky.In the meantime, the temples are connected, layers of stone steps are winding straight up, arches are scattered in between, the ancient buildings are majestic, and the whole mountain is occupied by dragons and tigers.

Assemble the whole team, the teacher finished explaining the precautions and clarified the assembly time in the afternoon.As soon as they disbanded, a large number of children scattered their things like a group of wild monkeys flying in the mountains.

The terrain of the island is not complicated.Except for the wide and straight avenue leading to the main hall, there are only a few twists and turns in the rest of the winding paths, and patrol teachers have been guarding everywhere.

Yu Bingwen was originally surrounded by a group of boys who were having fun and wanted to be together, but when he turned his head and saw Luo Youning and Qiao Jing, two autistic children, he simply waved his hand to let the group go first.

He accompanied the two autistic children slowly behind the crowd.

Luo Youning had had enough of playing with the phone, and Qiao Jing had had enough of seeing the scenery.The three of them passed through the main hall, walked around to the side hall, and turned to the winding path with few people in the back mountain.

After passing through a section of wooden boards stacked and embedded into a small bridge, there is a narrow and long path.

On one side of the roadside there is a stone wall, and on the other side there are luxuriant bushes, with branches and leaves blocking the stream, and only the sound of gurgling water can be heard.

After walking about a hundred steps, the bushes gradually thinned out, and the eyes suddenly opened up.

Then I saw a small temple with red walls and blue tiles standing quietly behind the Yinglin Luoshi.

Lin Feng rustled, walking through the corridors and temples.

The gods and Buddhas in the temple closed their eyes slightly, showing pity on their faces, looking down on all living beings.

Qiao Jingyuan wanted to take a look and leave, but Yu Bingwen took the lead and went in first to worship one by one, and at the end he went to shake the root stick in the lottery tube.

Sheng Ji lost it three times, and the sign was confirmed to be correct.

There are only a few sentences in the signed letter in exchange: "A glass of fine wine is poured into the wilderness, and the wind with two sleeves sweeps the dust of the grave."

Looking at the hexagrams, this lottery looks a bit bad, Luo Youning looked at it twice and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Yu Bingwen laughed: "Just ask." He was so preoccupied that he stopped worshiping the other gods and walked out with his signature.

Coincidentally, there is a temple in the court to set up a shed to release the lottery.

That Miao Zhu was a gray-haired old man who was dozing off on a wicker chair, but he woke up when he saw someone coming.A skinny hand stretched out to accept the signature, without looking at it, just pressed the paper into the book, without raising his eyes, he said: "The soul of the wronged man will not be let go."

Qiao Jing doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and in his eyes, this lottery is just a trick to fool people.

He was about to leave, but when he looked back, the expressions of the two friends who were walking with him were a little strange.

Luo Youning pursed her lips and said nothing.

Yu Bingwen stepped forward, put his hands on the table, with a serious face: "What do you mean by that?"

Miao Zhu pointed to the crude wooden sign standing on the side: ten yuan for unwrapping, ask questions and follow fate.

Without further ado, Yu Bingwen took out ten yuan and handed it to him.

Miao Zhu took the money and straightened his back slightly.However, his old spine and eyes are cloudy, no matter how straight he is, he looks sluggish.

With all his mysterious strength, he motioned Yu Bingwen to move forward.

Luo Youning followed and listened, and Qiao Jing couldn't help getting closer.

Miao Zhu's voice was hoarse, and his voice and intonation had a strong local accent. Even locals like Yu Luo and the two listened for a long time before they could make out the general idea: "You are indeed a heinous man. But when he died, his life was not over. The king will not accept him. He was a wicked man before he was alive, and he was even a vicious ghost after death. You can't make him do evil, and he won't let you go."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Yu Bingwen, even Luo Youning's expression changed drastically: "Is he still there?"

Miao Zhu shook his head and shook his head: "I have been waiting for you to become adults, waiting for him," he suddenly pointed at Luo Youning, "——bad luck."

Luo Youning's lips turned pale from trembling.

Yu Bingwen grabbed Miao Zhu's sleeve tightly: "How can... let it go."

Miao Zhu reached into the drawer and groped for a long time to take out a dirty piece of white jade, but handed it to Luo Youning: "I will give you a jade lock, you wear it first. When the jade is cracked, it will be it came back."

Luo Youning didn't dare to pick it up, but Yu Bingwen stopped him, grabbed Miaozhu anxiously and continued to ask, "What if it's broken? What if it comes back!"

Miao Zhu closed his eyes, and sighed: "The sun is damaged, so I can't say it."

Without saying a word, Yu Bingwen took out a pink picture of Grandpa Mao from his pocket and stuffed it into Miaozhu's hand.

Qiao Jing didn't know why, seeing that her friend was being fooled, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand to stop her: "Bingwen!"

The temple wisher moved nimbly, picked up the money with his withered hands, and hurriedly stuffed it into his pocket.He was honest, and as soon as he received the money, he opened his mouth and said, "If you give the cracked jade lock to others at that time, it is tantamount to passing the disaster on to others. If others prevent the disaster, you will be safe."

The white jade lock was dirty, and the carved hollows were covered with black mud.Luo Youning hated it and refused to touch it, but Yu Bingwen took it away in a hurry as if he had found a treasure, and asked again: "Old man, if I find someone to take him in, would it be useful?"

"Who can take it? This evil spirit is so fierce that Lord Yan Luo might not even dare to take it! You two little dolls, you are too courageous." Miao Zhu shook his head again and again, and finally pointed at Qiao Jing, saying, "This baby is so angry. It's right, you may be able to avoid it if you follow him."

Yu Bingwen wanted to ask again, but Miaozhu refused to say anything, not only refused to say anything, but also asked Yu Bingwen for money, the money from Yusuo.

Yu Bingwen asked him how much?The temple wished to put on a shelf and just follow the fate.

In the end, Yu Bingwen was so fooled that he took out more than half of the pocket money in his pocket and gave it out.

He looked like a superstitious old man who had been duped. Qiao Jing wanted to say a few words to him, but seeing Luo Youning was thoughtful and refused to speak, he didn't say anything more after all.

As for the jade lock, Luo Youning began to say that Xie was determined not to wear it.It was Yu Bingwen who deliberately took it to a gold and silver jewelry store to clean it, and replaced it with a brown leather rope, deceiving him that it was a newly bought evil spirit, so he put it away and wore it.

This wear was never taken off before the jade lock showed cracks.
