I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 325: Keep the clouds clear and see the moonlight

After a few days, the little witch looked the same as she did then.

He was skinny and malnourished, with disheveled hair and only one pair of eyes as black and bright as purple grapes.

Su Chengyi looked at her for a long time, and the other party blinked, looking calm.

"Do you know each other?"

Ye Ju on the side observed for a while and couldn't help but asked hesitantly.

"It doesn't count as acquaintance."

Su Chengyi replied slowly.

He was just an accomplice who helped her cover up the crime of theft.

"Really? Xiaoxia seems to be very close to you."

Ye Ju was doubtful and added:

"She usually hides far away when the doctor comes to check her, but she didn't run away when she saw you."

It turns out that we are close if we don't run away, Su Cheng thought.

"Forget it, Xiaoxia, come here, sister will introduce you to you."

Ye Ju held Yu Xia's hand and touched the top of her furry head.

"This is Su Chengyi. Although he looks bad, he is actually a good person."

"Su Chengyi, this is Xiaoxia, I am mainly responsible for taking care of her here.

A very well-behaved little girl, her paintings are very beautiful. "

"Okay, introductions are over. Let's shake hands~"

Ye Ju was like a kindergarten teacher, and Su Chengyi highly doubted whether she had experience in a nursery school during her extensive part-time career.

Yu Xia stared at him with her eyes, but her hands made no move.

Su Chengyi had no choice but to squat down and look at her level. At the same time, he spread out his palms and raised them slightly.

"Hello."

Although we have met each other before, now we can be considered as a formal acquaintance.

After a long time, it seemed that I had passed the examination.

Yu Xia stretched out her hand and did not shake it back. She just lightly brushed his palm with her fingertips.

"Okay! Xiaoxia is so good!"

Ye Ju touched her head again, and at the same time took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and put it in her hand.

Su Chengyi lowered his eyes to hide his thoughts.

When they met before, the little witch was always wrapped in a wide floor-length nightgown, which is why he nicknamed her little witch in his heart.

Today she was wearing the same hospital gown as other patients. When she raised her hand, Su Chengyi clearly saw large burn marks on her wrist.

It looked like an old injury, and the twisting and twisting scars were actually a bit scary.

After Yu Xia took the chocolate, although her face was still expressionless, there was obviously a little more color in her dark eyes, and she seemed very happy.

Instead of eating in a hurry, she turned around and opened the drawer next to the bed.

As if she thought everyone in the room was trustworthy, she didn't hide anything.

Su Chengyi stood behind her and could see what was filling the drawer.

Several stacks of colorful transparent candy wrappers, like those left over after eating old-fashioned fruit candies, were spread out carefully and evenly.

A flat iron box in the shape of a bear. If you read it correctly, it was originally used to hold wine-filled chocolates.

Su Chengyi recalled the time when Chocolate was suspected of stealing chocolate. Unexpectedly, the murderer behind the scenes also collected stolen goods.

Keychains for plush kitten toys, colorful cartoon stickers, and decompressing plasticine that are very popular among children.

This guy looks like a picker of rags.

Su Chengyi gave the final evaluation.

But Yu Xia seems to regard these as precious treasures.

She opened the iron bear box and carefully placed the chocolate Ye Ju had just given inside.

Su Chengyi took a look and saw that there was already a lot accumulated inside.

To her, it might be the equivalent of a piggy bank.

Sensing Su Cheng's probing gaze, Yu Xia quickly hugged the box and took two steps back warily.

Su Chengyi raised his hand and explained helplessly:

"I won't eat, I won't eat."

After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind, took a piece of chocolate from it, squatted down, and gently placed it between the two of them.

Ye Ju checked the lock on the window, and when he turned around, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Oh my god, why are we, Xiaoxia, so sensible? We are willing to share our favorite chocolates! That's great. My sister is going to buy you a big box tomorrow!"

Su Chengyi looked at the tightly nailed window frame and found a pot of small succulents placed underneath. It was not lush, but a little wilted, as if it was malnourished.

It does look a bit like its owner.

After the routine inspection, Ye Ju obtained Yu Xia's consent and showed her picture album to Su Chengyi.

Speaking of which, this picture album was a meeting gift given to her by Ye Ju.

Because before I officially joined the job, I heard other caregivers complain that this little girl used chalk to draw on the wall all day long, making it difficult for them to take care of her.

So Ye Ju bought a picture album and watercolor pens and brought them over.

In fact, it is the kind often sold in boutiques in front of schools, very cheap and common.

But this gift made Yu Xia like it very much, and it became a bridge for her to trust and accept Ye Ju.

Su Chengyi listened to Ye Ju's explanation and nodded thoughtfully.

It's hard for her to think of these methods. If it were him, he definitely wouldn't have such thoughts.

I originally thought that the picture album would be the kind of common children's paintings, with blue sky and white clouds, a simple little house, and a few stick figures holding hands.

However, the painting that caught his eye made Su Chengyi frown instantly.

The large swaths of dazzling colors and the weird shapes that are difficult to identify look like they were applied casually with your eyes closed. Overall, it is very abstract.

"Can you understand what this painting is?"

Su Chengyi couldn't help but ask.

"I can't understand it, but it feels amazing."

Ye Ju looked nervous and turned back a few pages.

"Well, this one is easier to understand. It seems to be a person."

Judging from the body shape, he should indeed be a human being, but the facial features on his face were upside down and misplaced, and his expression was twisted and horrifying.

Looking at it makes people suddenly feel very uncomfortable.

Su Chengyi endured the discomfort and turned back a few pages, not wanting to see that face again.

"Although, don't you think these paintings look wrong?"

"Well, this one seems a bit scary. I didn't see it yesterday. Did you just draw it today?"

Ye Ju frowned and looked at the latest page in the album.

Compared to the previous abstract paintings, this one is actually much easier to recognize.

In the upper left corner of the painting is a house, from which a "person" is crawling out on all fours in a twisted posture.

And behind him is a large black shadow with messy brushstrokes.

Su Chengyi tried hard to identify it for a long time, but couldn't see anything in the shadow.

"Oh, why does it make people feel a little uncomfortable?"

Ye Ju closed the album and fell into deep thought.

Don’t any of the previous paintings give you this feeling? ? The insensitivity is too strong!

Su Chengyi couldn't help complaining in his heart.

However, with his art appreciation ability, apart from being uncomfortable with his intuition, he couldn't tell any more information.

In this case, it’s better to ask more professional people.

Before leaving, Su Chengyi took some pictures in the album that impressed him the most and sent them to Chu Qingmian.

The other party responded very quickly.

"Su Chengyi!!! What are you doing in broad daylight! You're so scary!"

"Swipe the screen, swipe the screen, swipe the screen, swipe the screen!"

"very scary!"

"I'm warning you, don't scare me! Otherwise I'll bite you to death."

Judging from the situation, it seems that he mistakenly thought that he was deliberately posting ghost pictures to scare people.

"I'm not scaring you. This is a painting by a little girl. Please help me take a look. Can you tell any information?"

"Oh, then you send it again, I just manually deleted those messages."

"."

Su Chengyi had no choice but to send it again.

This time, Chu Qingmian's reply took a little longer.

"It's still scary if you look closely!"

"Especially the last one, look carefully."

The last picture was the latest one that Ye Ju just mentioned. Chu Qingmian edited the picture and circled the shadow.

"I can't see it."

"oops."

Chu Qingmian could only use her fingers to outline the outline of the pattern in the shadow.

Only then did Su Chengyi see that there was a face in the shadow.

The teeth are sharp and the smile is hideous.

"It's definitely not random scribbling, it has a story to tell."

Chu Qingmian came to a conclusion.

"In the last painting, the person crawling out is running away, and the faces floating out of the room represent danger and evil."

"But how could a child draw such a picture? Could it be a nightmare?"

Under Chu Qingmian's explanation, Su Chengyi finally understood what this painting wanted to express.

At the same time, his thoughts became more and more serious.

Finally, he confirmed one more thing to Ye Ju.

"Can you help check Yu Xia's admission record?"

In fact, logically speaking, such information is personal privacy and cannot be disclosed casually. If it were Miss Chu, she would feel ashamed of this because of her high moral principles, although she would still help to find out with integrity.

If it were Chen Jinzhi, she would definitely tell Su Chengyi the reason why he needed this information while telling him the information.

But fortunately, the other party was Ye Ju. This guy nodded and agreed without asking any questions.

"The admission record was five years ago, and except for the name, other information is blank. Perhaps the procedures at that time were not strict enough.

By the way, the person who handled the formalities for her was named Gao. "

This high is obviously the high of Gao Qiang Sheng.

On the car ride home, Su Chengyi looked out the window, his thoughts fluctuating.

By now, it's pretty obvious.

This little witch who was a master thief was the only survivor of the tragedy that Chu Yuanjiang mentioned.

From her paintings, some of the details of the case can even be restored.

She herself is the one running away in the last painting.

Chu Yuanjiang suspected that this case was related to Wu Shaobo, so he sent Yu Xia to a nursing home.

Of course, he obviously didn't do this because he was a super good person.

Just because he wanted to protect Yu Xia, a witness, as a pawn.

When he realized that Yu Xia was mentally disturbed and could no longer function, he quickly abandoned her and stopped paying attention to her.

Yu Xia grew up in a nursing home. Some time ago, she met Granny Xu, who was admitted to the hospital due to Alzheimer's disease.

Granny Xu, perhaps because of her poor memory, mistook her for her relative, told her her home address, and said something like, "You can get it yourself if you want to eat."

So this guy really escaped from the nursing home and came to Qinghe District, which is near Su Chengyi's home, thus creating a series of thief incidents.

Because of this, she looked so confident when Su Chengyi taught her to stop stealing.

Because in her mind, she was not stealing anything at all.

Suddenly, all the clues were connected in this way.

Su Chengyi, however, had no sense of excitement about successfully solving the puzzle.

Because the story behind this puzzle is so bloody, it just makes people feel heavy.

And Su Chengyi always felt that Yu Xia was not "mentally insane" in the conventional sense. On the contrary, she was definitely sane.

But is this good or bad for her?

Perhaps it is easier to live in a hazy state than to face everything soberly.

Because of the events of the past few days, Su Chengyi was very depressed. When he realized that he couldn't adjust on his own, he called and made an appointment with someone who knew what silly music was.

Su Chengyi straightened his back, drew the bow and string, and tilted his head slightly.

"Whoosh-"

The arrow from the string, with a sharp sound of wind, hit the red heart of the target steadily.

"Damn it, Boss Yi, have you ever practiced it? So accurate!!"

Xu Yang was holding a bow at the side and looking at him in disbelief.

Su Chengyi dropped his posture and said calmly:

"I practiced for a while before."

"You're so handsome. You can go and act in "Legend of the Condor Heroes"! Shoot the white deer in the snow~"

Xu Yang has always liked these cool skills the most, and his eyes almost turned into starry eyes.

The huge archery hall echoed with his monkey calls, and it was deserted, with only the two of them there.

Belonging to the era of hot weapons, bows and arrows have long been outdated and become a symbol of the old era.

With the fully automatic repeating crossbow, even the last silent advantage is gone.

Because of this, bows and arrows have become one of the few weapons that can be legally possessed.

But of course Su Chengyi practiced bow and arrow not to use it as a weapon.

It's just because when pulling the bow and string, one's emotions are tense to the extreme, and when one holds one's breath and concentrates, there will be no more unnecessary thoughts.

All that is left in the world is the arrow about to leave the string and the bullseye in the distance.

For the former Su Chengyi, this was a good way to relieve stress.

Xu Yang happened to mention it today, so he agreed. After shooting the arrow, he felt much calmer.

Xu Yang had just studied for a few days and originally thought he could show off his skills in front of Su Chengyi, but he didn't expect that he would be shown off in reverse.

The two of them sat by the steps, drank water and rested.

Xu Yang secretly glanced at the expressions of the people next to him, and finally asked after careful consideration:

"Mr. Yi, are you in a bad mood today?"

"Is it obvious?"

Su Chengyi crumpled the finished mineral water bottle into a ball.

"It's obvious. When you shot the arrow, I stayed far away, otherwise it would always feel like you were going to shoot through the throat."

Xu Yang touched his throat fearfully, fearing that a bloody hole would suddenly appear.

Su Chengyi didn't answer, just sighed softly.

"What's going on? I need to talk to my brother about something!"

Xu Yang scratched his head anxiously when he saw him keeping silent.

Su Chengyi looked at the big golden retriever jumping up and down in front of him, suddenly wanted to laugh, and reached out to hit him on the head.

"Don't worry, brothers will definitely help you if they can, no matter how hard it is, go through fire and water.

What kind of relationship do we have? Tell me, don't be coy and say it quickly. No matter what happens, it's all on me! ! "

Xu Yang seemed really worried about his condition.

Su Cheng thought, is it so obvious? He thought he hid it well.

"It's really nothing."

Seeing that Xu Yang was getting anxious again, Su Chengyi had no choice but to continue:

"Just thought of some questions."

"what is the problem?"

Xu Yang looked unbelieving.

Is there anything else in the world that can stump the non-human god of learning in front of me?

"Do you know about Zhou Yan?"

Su Chengyi asked.

"Well, Mu Mu told me."

Even though Xu Yang was usually careless, at this time he still had drooped eyebrows and looked a little sad.

Su Chengyi thought for a moment and then continued:

"Do you know why I felt compelled to help?"

"Of course it's because of chivalry!!"

Xu Yang waved his fist, looking ambitious.

"Mr. Yi, you are great, a role model for us! The only flaw is that you didn't call me!"

"."

Su Chengyi was silent for a long time, feeling that he should have guessed that the wise man would answer like this.

He always believed that he actually didn't have that much so-called chivalrous heart, and more often than not, he was even a cold-blooded person.

But when faced with such a thing, he had no way of just sitting idly by.

Especially as a reborn person.

If she was like a passerby in her previous life, in this life, Su Chengyi felt like she was the center of the world.

After all, even time has turned around for him.

Then, perhaps it can be said that everything that happens in the current timeline is related to him.

The more you feel this way, the sadder you feel when you witness the suffering and regret of others and are unable to do anything about it.

"Mr. Yi, do you still remember an elementary school text?"

Xu Yang suddenly asked confusedly.

"Which one?"

Su Cheng didn't know why.

"After a storm, a man went for a walk on the beach and found many small fish trapped in shallow puddles on the beach. Soon, the water in the shallow puddles would dry up, and these small fish would also dry up and die.

The man continued to walk forward and suddenly found a little boy in front of him. He kept bending down to pick up small fish and threw them back into the sea with all his strength.

The man couldn't help but go over and tell him that there are probably thousands of small fish trapped here, and you can't save them.

The little boy didn't even look up and replied, "I know."

The man was even more surprised and continued to ask him, then why are you still throwing it away? Who cares? "

When Xu Yang talked about it, Su Chengyi already remembered the end of this text.

“This little fish cares.”

The boy answered while continuing to pick up the small fish and throw it back into the sea with all his strength.

"I care about this one, and I care about this one too!"

"Mr. Yi, you are very cool in my eyes, really. You are the coolest man in the world."

Xu Yang's eyes fell on the arrows on the target in the distance.

"It's not because you're accurate in archery, it's not because you're a super academic, it's not because you know everything, and it's not because you're handsome.

It's because you seem to have a feeling of saving all sentient beings, and you do many things without thinking of rewards. "

Su Chengyi was so praised that he wanted to laugh, so he coughed to hide his embarrassment.

This is almost praising him as a saint in this world, and the smart filter on him is a little too heavy.

"It really makes sense! So don't worry about these things.

Don’t even think about it. How old are you now? Things that can’t be solved now may be nothing more than water for you in two years! "

It was rare for Xu Yang to speak so seriously and with sincere eyes.

Su Chengyi was suddenly moved. He didn't expect that he would be persuaded by the wise man.

Yes, there is no point in staying where you are and worrying about it. You just need to cheer up and move forward.

Even if there are many dangers ahead, there will always be a day when the clouds will clear and the moon will shine.
