Weird Talker

Chapter 163 One week later

[My brother is very strange.

He looks nothing like me, or Mom and Dad.

My mother died of dystocia when giving birth to me, and my father never remarried afterwards.

My impression of my mother comes from the photos. She is a very gentle woman, always smiling at the corners of her eyes and brows.

And my father, Qin Linghan, was a man of few words. According to people in the village, he went to the city when he was young, and when he came back, he brought back a girl from the city, and that girl was my mother.

Before Dad went to the city, he was a well-known prickly leader in the village. What he was good at was eating, drinking and having fun with his friends and friends, and doing nothing.

But after going to the city, he seemed to be a different person.

He talked less, and his temper became calmer. After his mother passed away, he talked even less.

This is what the villagers say.

Xiajiang Village is just a small fishing village by the river, and the school is in the town, so there is a long way to go.

When I was still in elementary school, there were many friends in the same village who went to school together, but as we walked, the number of people in the village became less and less.

After the adults who went to work in the city had a place to stay, they took their children to the city.

I still remember that on the first day of primary school six years ago, there were only five people in the class including me and the teacher.

There are no more students in the village and town, and the township primary school also stopped running the school after that session.

I can only go to school in a farther and bigger town.

There are no more friends on the road, but... I am not alone.

Beside me, there is also a brother who is two years older than me—Qin Manjiang.

My father treats me better than my brother, and I can feel it since I was a child.

In fact, at the beginning, my father treated me as well as my elder brother, but my elder brother was always flat, like a robot, and his reactions were too ordinary. After a long time, everyone's affection for him would be consumed.

He is a very boring person, really boring, even if you tell him the most funny jokes, he will only "laugh", and then immediately restore his expression, his expression is like being wound up, Although it appeared on time, it disappeared very suddenly.

Over time, everyone in the village knew that I had a boring older brother.

However, I know he is not like that.

Sometimes, I can feel that when I share the candy with him, although he politely says thank you, the joy in his eyes is beating uncontrollably.

The real him seemed to be locked up.

When everyone talked to him, he always answered with such words as "um", "ah", "okay" and "understood", as if he was afraid of making mistakes.

At that time, I was also afraid of him for a while. I was always worried that when he was eating, the skin on his face would accidentally fall off, revealing his metal skeleton.

Ha ha!I really wondered if he was a programmed robot!
But such a brother actually has friends.

It was a guy named Li Xijiu.

Objectively speaking, Li Xi is sunny, active, brave, and kind. He even jumped into the river to save a child!

But, that guy is really unpleasant!
Totally unpleasant!
He made my most precious childhood dolls weird, including but not limited to messy clothes, braids on the head, and used them to play chess...

I have always sneered at him, but he is not indifferent to me.

That guy pulled my hair when nothing happened, broke my stuff, and then went to buy a new one to pay for it. My brother said he was a teenager and told me to ignore him.

Hmph, if I really cared about him, I would have thrown him into the river long ago!
Later, when my brother had just entered high school, my father moved once.

The house was built closer to the river.

Since I was a child, I often went to the riverside to call my father home for dinner. The Xiajiang Village surrounded by the white river, and the small yard by the river, seemed to have been frozen by time, and there was no change every year.

But... I was suddenly able to see...some strange people.

Sometimes they appear by the river, sometimes on the road, and sometimes on the path of the village, they are really strange!
Although it looks like a human being, the position of the facial features and the facial expressions are all wrong.

I once saw a child standing in the middle of the dark river in the night, showing half of his naked body and waving at me.

I also saw a three-meter-high "weird" walking around the village when I went out for a walk in Xia Ye.

Whether it is a child or an adult, the strangest thing about them is their eyes.

Some people's eyes are very far apart, and there is a large area of ​​blank space between the eyebrows, which looks very strange.

Some people's eyes even grow weirdly vertically, standing up straight, stretching the proportions of the face so strangely, it makes people get goosebumps.

Gradually, people with strange eyes appeared more and more frequently.

Moreover, I thought everyone was used to it at first, but I later learned that other people in the village, even my brother and father, did not notice the presence of "outsiders" in the village at all.

Everyone can't see them!

To this day, I still can’t figure out whether those people with strange eyes really came, or it’s just a hallucination…]

Qin Manjiang just turned to the next page, but saw a hand pressed on the diary.

He raised his head and saw Qin Wanwan who was furious.

"Hey! You peeked at my diary!"

Qin Manjiang smiled, with a rogue face: "Yes, I peeked, what do you want?"

"You!" Qin Manyi looked at him angrily, but suddenly realized, how could his brother say such words like Li Xijiu?

Before she could continue to wonder, Qin Manjiang got up and asked: "I just came, and the nurse said that you were called by the doctor, are you okay?"

"What can be the matter?" Qin Yi sat down on the bed, "Assess my mental state."

Speaking of this, she suddenly asked again: "Hey, do you know how to prove whether a person has a mental illness?"

"Do a Mathematical Olympiad problem in front of the doctor?" Qin Manjiang said casually.

"What, the people in the mental hospital are just crazy, not stupid," Qin said with satisfaction, "Listen, the best way is..."

"Give the money!"

She lay back and looked at the ceiling helplessly: "There are many ways to get in. If you want to get out, you basically rely on a doctor's words. Things like mental illness...who would listen to a patient?"

"Speaking of which," Qin Manyi glared at Qin Manjiang, "I asked you to come to me within a month, and it's October [-]th now."

"Something has happened these few days." Qin Manjiang rubbed his nose and said embarrassedly.

He was indeed a little embarrassed. A week ago, he exchanged for a permanent item, a doll named "I".

But also since that day, his body has become exhausted, and it is extremely difficult to stand up and take two steps.

But there are also advantages. Now the fit of his body and soul has reached a perfect point, and finally there will be no such thing as the body acting on its own.

The price was a week in bed.

When the squad leader woke up the next day, he left without even saying hello, and Qin Manjiang was powerless to stop him. He vaguely felt that the squad leader must have guessed something.

After all, he was not the only player, but he was the only one who knew she was involved in the game and called her.

With a high probability, she already knew that it was because of Qin Manjiang that she was involved in an abnormal life, but she didn't know how to face him for a while.

After all... Qin Manjiang was the one who saved her.

In the next week, besides preparing dog food for Xiao Bai, Mi Qiao also prepared human food for him. It was not until yesterday that Qin Manjiang's body basically recovered.

"Let's not talk about this, you prepare and leave the hospital immediately."

Qin Manjiang said.

Qin Manyi's eyes widened: "Discharged?! Temporarily or permanently?!"

"If you go out, can you let the doctor have the final say?"

Qin Manjiang gave her a smirk.
