The witch looks at her moves

Chapter 20 Chuxiao (Thank you Daming for not being the leader of Dameng’s reward!)
  When Shao Xiaoxiao got up from the bed in dry and soft pajamas, the flashing light in front of her eyes made her quickly close her eyes again - the TV was turned on by someone unknown, and the evening news was broadcast in a straight tone.

"Nantang Aquarium has been reopened for a month, and the rumors of ghosts have not diminished. The number of passengers in the aquarium has increased sharply, and there has even been a stampede. It is reported that the high school students involved in the ghost incident at the aquarium have been undergoing treatment for more than two months. Finally, the spirit has stabilized.

Relevant experts said that children seeing ghosts may be neurosis caused by stress. Instead of hyping this unscientific and unrealistic statement, we should pay more attention to the children's mental health. To this end, the reporter also visited the patient's family... …”

The TV was showing news about the ghost incident in the aquarium. The camera switched between tourists and fish, and finally moved to a hospital bed.

The boy on the hospital bed looked pale. When interviewed by the media, he hesitated and said: "I didn't expect that the matter would be so big. I must have seen it wrong... Maybe I was too nervous during that time. ...Well, the reason why I skipped class and went to the aquarium was because..."

The reporter comforted the boy and guided him to tell the truth.

Shao Xiaoxiao was in no mood to listen any more.

Storms, motorcycles, chases, beatings...the images before coma came to her mind, and huge panic spread in her body. She realized something, lowered her head, and found that she was wearing a pink shirt she had never seen before. The tight jeans were also replaced by a pair of loose pajamas for home.

Through the flickering light of the TV, she could also see the bruises on her arms, which were particularly eye-catching on her fair skin.

This is not a dream...

In the end what happened?
  Shao Xiaoxiao couldn't remember. She only remembered that she fainted from exhaustion in the heavy rain. The last thing she saw was the scene of Su Zhen being beaten by gangsters. Tong Qiaoyu and Lu Mingtao were both lawless school bullies. She and Su Zhen fell into their trap. In her hands, she didn't know what kind of abuse and abuse she would suffer, but when she looked around, it was clear that this was a home she was very familiar with.

Who sent her home? Who changed her clothes? Who turned on the TV or not?

The evening news broadcast on the TV has ended, and the host has begun to pack up the manuscript. Of course, this news is also replayed. It is already five o'clock in the morning, and the sky is about to break. Most TV stations have stopped broadcasting, and the pictures have been replaced by color pictures.

After the news replay ended, the old TV screen also had snowflake patterns and noise, and Shao Xiaoxiao quickly turned it off.

Without the sound of the TV, the room became quieter.

Shao Xiaoxiao pressed his temples with both fingers and forced himself to calm down. The best way to find out about this matter is of course to ask the person involved, Su Zhen... There are many scoundrels. No matter how you look at the situation last night, it was Su Zhen. At an absolute disadvantage, how is he doing now?
  When Shao Xiaoxiao was anxious and confused, she suddenly saw something under the bedside table lamp. She hurriedly looked at it and found that it was a note with only a few numbers on it:

'I've finished your homework for you, take a good rest - Su Zhen'

If the desk lamp was the first thing she turned on after waking up, the first light from the desk lamp would illuminate the note and convey the news that everything was safe and sound to her.

Shao Xiaoxiao read this short sentence several times. She immediately opened her schoolbag and found her finished homework neatly stacked inside. The writer also deliberately imitated her handwriting, which was sixty-seven like. If not It's hard to tell the difference no matter how hard you think about it.

Was it really written by Su Zhen...

Seeing that Su Zhen was fine, Shao Xiaoxiao was relieved, but the confusion in her heart was far from being answered. She wanted to contact Su Zhen, but found that she had no contact information for Su Zhen.

but……

Shao Xiaoxiao had a flash of inspiration.

She ran downstairs quickly in her slippers. It was dark downstairs and there was no sound at all. Her parents were not at home. They only put ten dollars on the table, which was her meal fee for tomorrow.

Shao Xiaoxiao is accustomed to such situations.

She went to her father's study room and turned on the desktop computer. It was an antique that had been used for many years and was overwhelmed by various software. After waiting anxiously for four or five minutes, the computer screen finally turned on. Then, she logged into QQ and opened the friend application list.

Ran Xiaohong sold her QQ account to Su Zhen. In any case, she should first approve Su Zhen's friends.

She usually doesn't fall in love with QQ, nor does she play those popular games. She usually uses the computer to check study materials, so she was really shocked when she opened QQ today.

"How many people did Ran Xiaohong sell to..."

Shao Xiaoxiao rubbed the scroll wheel with her index finger, looking through a long list of friend applications, biting her lip bit by bit.

There are all kinds of people who have added her, with all kinds of id avatars, many of them use their own avatars, and their signatures are also 'This person is lazy and has left nothing'. It looks like it is a newly registered account, specially used to add her. , Shao Xiaoxiao excluded them first, and there was also a very cute anime girl avatar, which looked like a girl at first glance, and was ruthlessly rejected.

There is another person in the list who is very eye-catching. This person's ID is '艉姩氵箛丹'. Her avatar is a girl with slanted bangs and big headphones on her head, with a sad look in her eyes. She also added a note, 'I have something very important to tell you. ! ! '.

"This is probably not Su Zhen."

Shao Xiaoxiao never met strangers, especially strange strangers. She silently ignored this person.

The continued search yielded no results. Shao Xiaoxiao sat back on his chair, wondering what kind of boy was Su Zhen? But apart from last night, she had spent too little time with Su Zhen, and all she could extract was only a general impression:

A thin and taciturn young man, neither too tall nor too short, with hair that would easily be taken to the barbershop by the class teacher if it were longer, bravery that doesn't show off easily, and... clear eyes?

She is not a detective who is good at profiling, and she cannot deduce which one is Su Zhen from the clues.

Shao Xiaoxiao sat for a while and felt dull. She stood up and opened the curtains in the study room and pushed open the rusty window.

A gentle breeze mixed with drizzle blew in, giving her a hint of coolness on her heated cheeks. Her house was a self-built house at the junction of towns and villages. There were no high-rise buildings to block her. When she pushed the window, the sky and the earth were wide open. The gray rain clouds flowed across the sky in Nantang. They were no longer as majestic as last night, but more like fleeing deserters. It was difficult to turn into a new storm.

In the early morning of September, everything was turbulent and flowing between the sky and the earth. Shao Xiaoxiao looked at it all, unable to find the focus in the picture, and his mind became trance-like.

She stood by the window for a while, the fog gradually dissipating in her eyes.

Shao Xiaoxiao closed the computer and ran back upstairs quickly. When she ran down again, she had already put on a white canvas schoolbag and changed out of her pajamas and pajamas. Instead, she wore a black round-neck printed T-shirt and black sports shorts. The edges of the clothes are tucked into the pants, making the waistline appear quite high.

She put on her school uniform, put the ten yuan into her pocket when passing by the table, put on black stockings, stepped on a pair of sneakers, and the fully armed Shao Xiaoxiao pushed out the door, her slender calves quietly walking out of Nantang. I stepped on it in the early morning, splashing a series of beautiful water splashes on the ground.

What surprised Shao Xiaoxiao was that her bicycle was parked intact under the shed in the yard to protect it from the rain. Was it Su Zhen who rode it back? But how could he carry himself unconscious while riding a bicycle? This was probably too difficult.

Anyway, he wanted to go find Su Zhen and ask for details. Shao Xiaoxiao didn't think much and just rode away. She underestimated the unpredictable weather in September. Yesterday it was a steaming autumn tiger, but today it was freezing cold and the autumn wind was chilling. Shao Xiaoxiao’s knees turned red from the cold after riding for a while. She was too lazy to go back to the house to change her clothes. She bit her head Teeth move forward against the wind.

The street lights have not been extinguished yet, and they stretch endlessly. Nantang is so peaceful in the early morning.

After riding into the town, Shao Xiaoxiao came to the bun shop with ease and bought three small buns for one yuan. The buns were filled with white steam, and the aroma of rice noodles made people feel warm. When the boss asked for change, she thought that Su Zhen probably hadn't eaten breakfast either, so she bought three more.

"Oh, Xiaoxiao, did you go to school so early?"

As soon as Shao Xiaoxiao took her first bite, she heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw that it was an acquaintance who said vaguely: "Hello, Aunt Wang."

Before their house was demolished in a small town, this Aunt Wang was her neighbor.

"Why did Xiaoxiao buy so many buns? Did she have a boyfriend?" Aunt Wang asked with a smile.

"No...no."

Shao Xiaoxiao shook her head like a little rattle, and she explained in a panic: "I bought it for a classmate, um... my classmate in elementary school, yes, Ran Xiaohong, she even came to my house to play, Aunt Wang doesn't know. do not remember."

"Oh, remember." Aunt Wang nodded, sighed again, and said, "It's not easy to have a friend who you grew up playing with. Xiaoxiao is very popular and well-behaved. Unlike my family, who always chases stars. Rebellious as hell.”

Shao Xiaoxiao knew that generally speaking, parents would not really belittle their children. Aunt Wang said this because she was waiting for her to refute. The girl understood and immediately said: "Auntie, just be satisfied. Sister Zhang Hui has had good grades since she was a child. She got into such a good university last year, and my dad always talks about her, saying that if I were half as smart as Sister Zhang Hui, he would be extremely happy."

"You're a very sharp-tongued girl." Aunt Wang smiled brightly and asked again, "Is Dad okay?"

"It's okay." Shao Xiaoxiao said softly: "He lives in the dormitory of the factory and doesn't come back often."

Aunt Wang let out a sigh and said, "Don't blame your dad. You don't know how prosperous your dad was when he was young. Now he is willing to endure such hardships all because of you. Xiaoxiao, you have to study hard." , get ahead, and don’t let your group of relatives see the joke.”

Shao Xiaoxiao's nose felt sour and he muttered: "I know."

Aunt Wang asked about her mother again and asked her what her mother was doing and whether she was still playing mahjong all day long. Shao Xiaoxiao hesitated and said, "Xiaohong is still waiting for me. I can't keep her waiting." , I’ll talk to Aunt Wang another day.”

Without giving Aunt Wang a chance to say a few words, she put the buns in her pocket and rode away. After riding for a while, Shao Xiaoxiao's smile disappeared when she faced Aunt Wang. Mother... Shao Xiaoxiao thought of her mother, He sighed involuntarily.

Shao Xiaoxiao's mother was an outstanding beauty when she was young. She was tall, well-shaped, and talented in singing and dancing. However, she had a bad temper and often got angry. Growing up, Shao Xiaoxiao could hardly get a trace of care from her mother. When she was a child, she didn't understand this, nor why her mother ignored her, but her father often told her:

"Your mother was not like this when she was young. When I met her, she was very gentle and spoke softly."

So how did mom change later? Her father gave her no answer.

She knew something about her father's youth. He lived in a large and prosperous family with more than ten brothers and sisters. When he was young, he was a famous local boss with great success. She didn't know much about her mother's background. , but from the gossips of her elders, she probably knew that her mother was probably a resident singer in a small bar at that time. In short, it was not very honorable, and her parents' marriage was strongly opposed by the entire family.

My father went against everyone's advice, and after a huge quarrel with the family, he held a wedding in a graceful manner. It is said that my grandparents were always showing off at the wedding and did not drink any toasts.

This wedding was already very controversial in the village. However, a few years after her birth, her father suffered the heaviest blow to his fate - his partner, whom he had known for more than ten years, ran away with his money.

The wealthy family's financial situation has plummeted, and the conflict in the family has been completely detonated. Grandpa can provide money to help him tide over the difficulties, but the premise is that he has to divorce the marriage. The brothers and sisters are not happy because they are quarreling over the property. Yes, debt collectors would come to the house from time to time, setting off firecrackers, unfurling banners, and making a lot of noise. There was no peace for a day, and my mother even became a little crazy because of this.

In the only fragment of memory that Shao Xiaoxiao has, it is his father standing at the door, opening his arms to block the incoming crowd.

Later, my father's business had its ups and downs. It finally improved, but then a serious illness depleted all his savings and it completely collapsed.

Now spring has returned to the earth, and Tansha City is taking off again. In the eyes of those with foresight, this economic miracle will sweep across the entire country, and any little person may create huge waves. However, times have changed, and the once glorious man His ambition has been wiped out by the illness, and the opportunities under the big wave have nothing to do with him anymore.

When Su Zhen stood in front of her last night, she thought of that scene in her childhood for no reason.

——The man opened his arms, like light blocking the shadow.

When Shao Xiaoxiao was lost in thought, the bicycle had already passed the street. The clouds in the sky dispersed due to the wind, and bunches of golden light fell from the gaps between the clouds, connecting the sky and the fields. Shao Xiaoxiao always felt that she had seen this scene somewhere, in movies or animations, she She couldn't remember, she just stared blankly, the cool breeze blowing on her temples.

Following the path in her memory to Su Zhen's house, Shao Xiaoxiao pressed the brake. She straightened her bangs and hair that were blown by the wind, and hesitantly knocked on the door of Su Zhen's house.

dong dong dong-

There was no response from the other side of the door.

dong dong dong-

Still no response.

Not at home?

Shao Xiaoxiao couldn't help but become worried and her heart was beating fast. Just when she was hesitating whether to call the police, there was a click and the door opened.

The little girl's heart stopped for half a beat. She raised her head in shock and said hastily: "Classmate Su Zhen... eh? Uncle, who are you?"
