Urban Witcher

Back home, Ye Xiaomu opened the door with the key, and when he entered the door, he saw a girl sitting on the sofa watching TV. The girl looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, but she was wearing adult pajamas, with two long white legs resting on the tea table On, seeing Ye Xiaomu enter the room, he retracted his legs, put down the skirt again, and said without raising his head: "I'm back so late, let's go eat."

"Isn't my mother coming back?"

"She's busy with things and won't be back this week."

Ye Xiaomu was a little lost.

My mother is an agent and an anti-narcotics officer. She feels busier than the leader. As far as Ye Xiaomu can remember, she has been away from home for at least two-thirds of the time, so even though his home is very close to the school, he still chooses to live on campus. .

There is another person in the family, the little girl in front of me, her name is Xueqi, and she has lived in her home since she was born. His mother told him privately that Xueqi has dwarfism and has never grown up, so she has always looked like thirteen or fourteen these years.

A few years ago, Ye Xiaomu was still curious about Xueqi's situation after he became sensible, and then he got used to it. He called Xueqi his aunt, and Xueqi would cook for him when his mother was away, but she herself was very I eat less and always say that I have stomach problems and can only drink yogurt.

When Ye Xiaomu finished his meal and was about to go to his room to play games for a while, Xue Qi called him over, threw something on the table, and said, "I found this when I was packing your clothes, where did it come from?"

Ye Xiaomu saw that it was a magic talisman. Suddenly, my heart tightened, this talisman was given by old man Liu, and he said it could be used for self-defense when walking at night. Although I didn't believe it, I couldn't just throw away the things they gave me, so I put it in my pocket.

But you can't tell the truth, otherwise Xueqi will definitely teach him not to study hard and play with these useless things. Although Xueqi looks young and looks like a little girl, she has always been very dignified to herself, and Ye Xiaomu is afraid of her.

So I lied impromptuly, saying that I went climbing with my classmates last week. There lived an old Taoist priest who told fortune-tellers on that mountain, and he could draw talismans. Some classmates asked for talismans and went home to the town house. He joined in the fun and asked for one. .

"Stop dealing with these people in the future!" Xue Qi scolded, then picked up the talisman and looked at it.

Ye Xiaomu turned to go back to the room, when she heard Xue Qi muttering: "I'm just trying to lie to children, what kind of town house talisman, it's obviously a fire talisman, it's good for preventing ghosts at night, what's the use..."

Ye Xiaomu stopped abruptly, and turned to look at Xueqi.

"Why?" Xue Qi scowled.

"Auntie, you...how do you know this is not a town house talisman?"

"It's okay to just guess." Xue Qi's expression was obviously hiding something, and she sent him back to the room.

The more Ye Xiaomu thought about it, the more strange she became. Xueqi, an ordinary person, how could she recognize it as a magic talisman for walking at night to prevent ghosts? What is the fire symbol, what is the fire?

Because the college entrance examination was about to take place, his mother confiscated his mobile phone, and he didn't let him play on the computer, only let him read books. Although his mother was not at home, Xueqi was just as strict with him. Ye Xiaomu felt uncomfortable at home at all, so the next day So I went back to school, found my buddy Liao Zheng, and went online together.

Liao Zheng's family is similar to Ye Xiaomu's. They are ordinary families. They share the same table and live in a dormitory.

The Internet cafe is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. One is VR equipment. In recent years, VR games have developed rapidly and become more and more mature. Especially a few years ago, a domestic game equipment company developed a system that can connect people's motor nerves to On the device, as long as there is a special headgear, after entering the game, you can completely control the character with your body, and you don’t even need to press the buttons. After it was launched, it was especially popular among young people, and some adults used it to play shy games.

However, this equipment is very expensive, and ordinary families cannot afford it. Most people can only go to Internet cafes to play.

Ye Xiaomu and Liao Zheng came to experience this.

There is another Internet cafe with traditional computers and a lot of people. Although VR is now the new darling of video games, the micro-manipulation of the device is still not as good as that of a computer keyboard, and many people still like to use computers to play games.

The two came to the VR room, put on the headgear, and after starting up, there were many optional games in front of them. Generally, Ye Xiaomu played action games, especially martial arts games, where he learned all kinds of kung fu to fight with people. , I can also fly to the sky and escape from the ground, which feels very cool. Today, he glanced at a horror game, which he didn’t dare to play before. Today, I don’t know why it’s cheap, so I gritted my teeth and chose it. All kinds of ghosts and zombies...

After ten minutes of playing, Ye Xiaomu was so scared that he wanted to pee his pants.

After playing in the Internet cafe for more than an hour, the two left and went to eat together.

Ye Xiaomu's favorite place to go is a steamed stuffed bun shop, the name is Big Rou Baozi, and it really only sells big meat buns. According to the boss himself, they are a branch of a well-known century-old shop in Shicheng.

When Ye Xiaomu was very young, his mother often brought him here to eat steamed buns, and sometimes saw his mother wiping tears in the middle of eating, and he didn't know why. But the buns here taste really good, and Ye Xiaomu himself likes to eat them when he grows up.

"By the way, do you know that Bai Yiran hasn't come to class for a few days?" Liao Zheng asked suddenly while eating buns.

"Oh, I heard that I asked for leave. I don't know what happened."

Bai Yiran is a female classmate in the class, she is pretty and not talkative, Ye Xiaomu feels pretty good about her, a year ago he and Liao Zheng joined the school's mountaineering club, Bai Yiran was also in it , I often organize mountain climbing together on weekends, and the relationship is not bad.

"She is sick. I went to the hospital yesterday to ask my mother to get the key, and I happened to meet her. She lives in the psychiatric ward. Yesterday her father took her for a walk in the garden, and I bumped into her. Her face was pale. It's scary, I called her several times and she didn't recognize me, and then she stared at me with eyes that looked terrifying."

Speaking of this, Liao Zheng fought a cold war.

Ye Xiaomu frowned, "No way, she was fine a few days ago, why was she hospitalized suddenly, what's wrong with her?"

"I talked about the psychiatry department. I don't know what the disease is. My mother is not in charge of it."

Liao Zheng's mother is a doctor in the hospital and an attending physician in the obstetrics and gynecology department.

"Anyway, I don't have anything to do today, it's still early, let's go see her?" Usually they have a good relationship, and they are in the club again. When Ye Xiaomu heard about her situation, he was curious and a little worried.

Liao Zheng also agreed.

So the two went to the hospital together by car, and bought some fruits and flower baskets at the entrance of the hospital. They were all paid by Ye Xiaomu. , I don't usually see each other much, but she cares about Ye Xiaomu very much, she comes to see him almost every month, gives him some pocket money every time she comes, and secretly keeps his mother from knowing.
