Chapter 22 Paperwork
byChapter 22 Paperwork
Shannan didn't want Yu Zhibai to do real evil. Before that, although it was a paper man, it had never hurt anyone.
It took more than two hours to clean up the animal blood at the door. The blood was bright red, obviously fresh, and not black dog blood. In this day and age, pure black dogs are not so easy to find.This group of people just encouraged each other and decided to just do it after a slap on the thigh. If they couldn't find the black dog blood, they could use something else.
The community was in disrepair and the walls were cracked. They could only clean the surface, but some of it flowed in along the cracks and could not be cleaned.
Shang Nan is not squeamish at all, nor does he dislike it.
Yu Xiaoyu can only touch a small amount of water, but not too much. She will be soaked and soaked. Xiaobai is too lazy to repair it because it is too troublesome, so he may just make a Yu Xiaoyu 2.0.
So she could only help pass some things, and also help Shonan hold his coat. Shonan's coat was so soft, warm, and fragrant. Is this a human being?
"Is it almost done?" Yu Xiaoyu asked.
Shannan nodded, "That's almost it."
Yu Changyue sat on the sofa and watched the whole thing. The old lady rolled her cloudy eyes and weakly asked Shannan, "Aren't you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?" Shannan was wearing a pure white sweatshirt. He put down his sleeves and sat down opposite Yu Changyue. A thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead, which was shiny, like a piece of sweat that had just emerged from the soil.The tender green shoot tips come out.
He was a little hungry, so he continued to eat the chestnut cake, "I believe you." His tone was light but strong.
If Yu Changyue really killed others to save her own life, she could have risked her life to save Yu Zhibai. After all, if she could really save her life, then if Yu Zhibai died, wouldn't she be able to save her life for a few more years?Have a great year.
He would not be like now, unable to move, unable to eat, and unable to speak clearly. He would not be able to continue living like this.
After Yu Zhibai finished all the finishing work, he washed his hands and dried them.
Shan Nan saw that he was only wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, which made his skin even colder and whiter. He was not afraid of the cold and walked around the room without treating Shan Nan as an outsider.
He finally finished his work. After he stopped, he opened the shoe cabinet and found a pair of slippers.
"Change your shoes."
Shannan thought that he had to change his shoes when stepping around other people's houses, so he put on slippers.
Yu Zhibai was the first to take away Shang Nan's sneakers and carried them to the bathroom. Shang Nan didn't know what he was going to do, but soon, the sound of water sounded in the bathroom.
Shang Nan immediately guessed what he was doing and immediately got up from the ground.
In the bathroom, Yu Zhibai was squatting with his back to the door. He was concentrating on brushing Shang Nan's sneakers. The running water washed over the soles of the shoes, and the red sewage flowed down the toes of the shoes, and finally gathered at the drain.
If he hadn't known that this was just cleaning shoes, just like outside, Shang Nan would have thought at first glance that this was cleaning up a crime scene.
"Actually, it doesn't matter." Shannan didn't expect Yu Zhibai to care so much about a pair of shoes.
[14: What it cares about is not the shoes, it cares about you.]
Shang Nan squatted down at the door of the bathroom and answered 14, "How can it do this? It feels like humans don't necessarily do much."
[14: Human beings generally think a lot. For example, when washing a pair of shoes, they would think why should I do it? They would also think that you can’t wash it yourself?They will also dislike you for stepping on the dirty floor, and may say it is unlucky, but monsters will not think so much. Monsters' love is absolutely pure.]
Yu Zhibai only painted the surface of the shoes. After he finished painting, he stood the shoes against the wall. When he stood up and turned around, Shan Nan could see a little bit of fireworks in the other person that could only be seen in the human world——The soft-bristled brush in your hand, the white foam rising from the drain, and the drops of water dripping down along your fingertips.
"I'm going to cook, what do you want to eat?" The paper man spoke more smoky language.
Shan Nan held her chin and thought for a moment, "Ah... I want to eat grilled lamb chops, can you cook them?"
Yu Zhibai's dark eyes showed a little helplessness, "I can't."
Shang Nan was just teasing him. He had no intention of eating the lamb chops, but he still pretended to be annoyed for a few seconds and finally said, "Then do whatever you want. I like to eat whatever you make."
The Yu family rarely cooks. Only Yu Changyue is a human being and needs to eat and drink. The others are paper figures. Whether it is the essence of the sun and the moon or the northwest wind, they do not choose.
Yu Changyue is old and weak. She only needs to eat one meal a day, and she cannot eat high-nutrition and high-protein foods. She cannot digest them. Food that is too nutritious will only burden her gastrointestinal tract.The meals she eats are all ordered from the hospital canteen, and are specially designed meals for patients.
Many of the condiments in the kitchen are freshly opened.
Yu Xiaoyu and Shang Nan sat on the same sofa and said seriously: "Xiaobai went to the supermarket a few days ago to buy a lot of things, and then cooked at home every day. Are they all cooked for you?"
Yu Xiaoyu felt abandoned, "Xiaobai is really becoming more and more human."
Shang Nan looked at Yu Zhibai's gentle profile, and he seemed to have the same feeling.
It's just that this feeling just came to his head, and was mercilessly pushed back by 14.
[14: Again, a monster is a monster, don’t think it is a person just because it cleans your shoes and cooks for you.]
After dinner, Shannan looked at the "I hope you can reconsider" text messages from Dai Lili on his mobile phone. He found it a bit funny. Dai Lili was obviously her mother, but now she had been pleading with Lu Yang.
Yu Xiaoyu has been following Yu Zhibai for a long time, and she knows how to read faces. Seeing that Shannan was not very happy, she tugged on his clothes and said, "I'll teach you how to make paper figurines."
"Paper making people? You can do it too?" Shang Nan put away the phone and looked at the sky outside.It was getting dark and it was time for him to go home.
"Yes, but the paper figures I tie are different from those made by Xiaobai. I can only make ordinary little paper figures." Yu Xiaoyu said.
Just as Shan Nan was about to answer, Yu Zhibai came out of the kitchen. He bent down and picked up his coat on the chair, "Nan Nan, let's go. It's getting dark. I'll take you home."
Although Shang Nan was a little confused as to why Yu Zhibai was so active in washing the dishes and urging him to leave, the other party packed up things too fast and did not even give Shang Nan a chance to react.
"Let's go." Yu Zhibai stood at the door.
"..."
Shannan bent down to tie his shoelaces. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the two small cakes left on the table. He stood up and said, "I bought the cakes for you. You can eat them. If you don't eat them, I'll give them to grandma."
Yu Zhibai couldn't taste the taste of human food. In the early years, he could still taste the difference and knew whether sour was sour or sweet was sweet. Later, these tastes became more and more blurred until they disappeared completely. Moreover, what he ate was...In the beginning, there was still complete digestion, but later it stopped. You could tear a hole from anywhere and stuff it into your stomach, or you could take it out completely from your stomach.
Then, Yu Zhibai stopped eating.
But the cake that Shannan sent was of course different from the others. "Okay, thank you Nannan," it replied.
After walking out of Xingfu Community, Shang Nan looked up at the dark sky. For the first time, he saw stars in the sky back to Nanfang, although there were only a few stars.
Shannan looked at it for a few times and then looked away, only to find that Yu Zhibai had been looking at him. The other person always looked at people with a straight face. The shyness and shyness in the past must have been fake, because the other party would not think that he was there at all.When do you need to be embarrassed, because you don’t need anything.
Shannan lowered his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then reached out and hooked Yu Zhibai's little finger, "Let's go, you take me to the intersection outside, and I'll take a taxi back."
"Then...can I kiss you before you go home?" Yu Zhibai asked softly.
Its eyes blended into the night. When the face of the paper man was not revealed, it looked no different from the young paper man. Shannan was not afraid of it at this time.
"Okay." Shannan agreed.
There is no monitoring on this road. It is going to be demolished anyway. The people in charge think it is unnecessary. They do not care if the street lights are broken or the trees fall down.
While walking on the road, Shang Nan thought about what happened in the afternoon, and he was a little puzzled, "Why do people in your community say that grandma killed someone to survive?"
Yu Zhibai had endless words to say about Shang Nan, "She was a goddess when she was young. Those who don't believe in this profession call her a ghost. Everyone is taboo about ghosts and gods. Those who believe in it believe it without doubt, while those who don't believe in it sneer at it. It just so happens that later,The people I met were all unbelievers, and they thought she was unlucky and unlucky, so no matter what happened, everyone thought it was because of her that she brought bad luck, including Yu She’s death.”
Shang Nan found it too incredible.
"Yu Zhibai, I have a spare room there. Would you like to bring grandma and Yu Xiaoyu to live in my house?" Shang Nan thought grandma was a very interesting old lady, "Maybe in a different environment, grandmaYour health will also get better."
Yu Zhibai refused without thinking, "She said she wouldn't go anywhere."
"All right."
After talking about this, this road with street lights came to an end. Taxis came and went frequently. Shan Nan took back his hands and put his hands in his coat pockets. He glanced at Yu Zhibai several times with some evasive eyes.Appropriate hints were given to the unresponsive counterparty.
"I'm leaving?"
Yu Zhibai had droopy eyelids. His skin was very white, which made his eyes even darker. When he stared at people, they didn't look like human eyes, but more like the eyes of animals. The size of his pupils changed very randomly.
The paper man's kiss fell on Shang Nan's eyes, like a piece of snow falling, ice cold but very soft.
"Be careful on the road," it said.
A taxi appeared next to the two of them at the right time. It came very suddenly but not very fast, which startled Shannan.
Many taxis would stop next to pedestrians on the roadside to see if they needed a taxi. Shannan had no doubts. After all, there were no people on both sides of the road. He knew that he was the one who wanted to take a taxi.
"Bye~" Shang Nan lay on the car window and waved his hand towards Yu Zhibai, "Xiao Bai, see you at school tomorrow."
"See you at school," Yu Zhibai repeated again, "be careful on the road."
The car window went up, the driver stepped on the accelerator, and slowly drove out of Yu Zhibai's field of vision. The night was dark and the night wind was bitingly cold. Yu Zhibai stood there for a long time before turning around and walking back.
Shang Nan doesn't like playing with his mobile phone, probably because most of his memory has been blocked. He knows too little and wants to know even less.
He leaned on the seat, and the driver sitting in front held the steering wheel firmly, unlike other drivers who would chat with the passengers and only drive.
Shang Nan felt that the speed was a bit slow, so he leaned forward and politely reminded: "Uncle, you can drive faster."
It took the other party a few seconds to answer Shannan, "It's very dangerous."
Shannan frowned.
He was not uncomfortable because the driver was driving too slowly, but because the other party's voice was like the sound of two pieces of sandpaper rubbing against each other, rough and thick.
Shang Nan calmly leaned forward again, and sure enough... he smelled the smell of paper pulp from the other person's body, with a hint of wetness.
Before he could think of anything more, the driver's honest and stocky body moved, and he added: "Xiaobai said you are very smart, and it seems to be true."
Shang Nan: "..."
"Xiaobai's mother died because of a car accident. She is worried." The fat man chuckled a few times. "I made it in a hurry. Look at my face, I haven't finished it yet."
Shang Nan: "..."
After the driver saw that he was discovered, he became silent and talked surprisingly much.
Shang Nan was curious and found it interesting, "Will he give you all different personalities?" Yu Xiaoyu, the driver, and Zhang Gou all have different personalities.
"No, I'm not sure about this either. It should be our age and role, and our personalities are just like that. It's more of a template and has no sense of hierarchy." The driver said, scratching his head.
Shan Nan thought that since the vitality of these paper figures was given by Yu Zhibai, their respective personalities should also be formed according to Yu Zhibai's understanding.
Maybe in Yu Zhibai's impression, the driver was a fat uncle who was honest and talkative. Apart from that, he had no other qualities.
The time it took to get home doubled, and Shannan was already a little sleepy. He yawned and got out of the car. When he raised his hand, he saw that the palms of his hands were stained. It was probably from opening the door... Oh, that's not right., how come even the car is made of paper?!Are you aware of safety?!
Unfortunately, before giving Shang Nan a chance to speak, the driver drove away slowly again. It was just a driver, and it was its mission to send Shang Nan home. It had no choice. Its personality was so thin and it would not accept questioning..
Xingfu Community is quiet at the moment, the winter night is cold and cold, and the weeds in the flower beds are taller than the rhododendron trees.
Most people were asleep.
In the afternoon, the strong man tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep. It was such a cold day and there was no heater or stove at home. He was still shivering from the cold under the quilt, and his upper and lower rows of teeth were creaking from the cold.
The soundproofing of the house was not good. His mother passed by his room on her way to the bathroom. She heard the noise, knocked on the door twice, and said, "What time is it? Are you still going to work tomorrow?"
Li Rongping lifted the quilt and sat up, irritated, "Can't sleep!"
His mother heard this and cursed: "I told you this afternoon not to take the lead, not to take the lead, but you still want to follow them. What are you going to do? Look, isn't this going to bring bad luck? Everyone knows that old man is not dead.It’s bad luck, but you still go!”
Li Rongping kicked the quilt to the ground, "I'm not afraid." After he replied, he lay down again, but the gray face of Mrs. Yu and the gorgeous Yu She kept appearing in front of his eyes.
When Yu Changyue and Yu She moved here, it didn't take long for the whole community to know that a beautiful woman came to Building 11. However, the beautiful woman was not very behaved and brought a child before she got married.
When Yu She moved to Xingfu Community, Li Rongping was just a freshman. He felt that the people in the community were exaggerating. How could a woman with children be as beautiful as the school belle?Until Li Rongping bumped into Yu She who was running back in the morning - Yu She was so beautiful, like a bright moon, and said "good morning" to him gently.
From then on, Li Rongping became distracted. What he thought about day and night was Yu She's face, Yu She's gentle voice, and her legs wrapped in sweatpants.Immediately afterwards, people in the community learned about Yu Changyue's occupation - a hag. The rumors were so true that Li Rongping guessed that it must be Yu Changyue who taught Yu She to confuse men.
At the end of the semester, Li Rongping failed five subjects in a row, including degree courses. Therefore, he became more convinced that it was Yu She and Yu Changyue's fault.
But he couldn't help thinking about Yu She.
Thinking of the things he had done, Li Rongping became increasingly restless and sweaty all over his body. He sat up again and saw the long-haired woman sitting on his bed.
Li Rongping's brain went blank for a moment. He lost all his senses. He couldn't feel the irritation or the sultry heat. He watched the woman in the red skirt slowly turn her head, her eyes were dull, and half of her face was bright red.
After a long time, Li Rongping finally found his voice. He let out a shrill cry. Regardless of his wet pants, he rolled directly to the ground and lay down next to "Yu She"'s legs. "I didn't mean to spread rumors about your indiscretion. I justI just said a few words casually. They are the ones who spread the nonsense. They don’t care about my business, Yu She..."
He kept mumbling something for a long time, and he didn't even know when "Yu She" disappeared.
When he found it, the end of the bed had been empty for a long time. He slowly raised his head and after confirming that the thing was gone, Li Rongping immediately collapsed to the ground.
He peed all over the floor, but he couldn't care less. His body temperature dropped to freezing point, his jaw was clenched, and he couldn't freely control opening and closing. Finally... was it finally here?
His mother just scolded him for why he would go out and do such a thing. Did she think he wanted it too much?It was because Mrs. Yu's old-fashioned tricks had become more and more mysterious in recent years, and he was increasingly worried that she would use them to settle accounts for the things he had done before. He thought, it would be better to kill the other party in advance before the other party came to settle accounts with him.Drive away.
Li Rongping walked out of the room holding on to the wall. He did not dare to stay in his room anymore. Instead, he sat in the living room and did not dare to move.
Yu Zhibai came home in the middle of the night. He was in a good mood. He took out a small cake bought by Shannan from the refrigerator. Before opening the cake box, he clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and his profile looked delicate under the electric light, with a gentle expression.
After more than ten seconds, which Yu Xiaoyu felt were very long, Yu Zhibai slowly opened his eyes. He opened the cake box and curled up the corners of his mouth. He was in a very, very, very good mood.
Yu Xiaoyu stood in the shadow opposite him and asked curiously: "Xiaobai, you can't taste it, and you don't know whether it tastes good or not. Why do you still eat it?" It is very hard to imitate human beings.It's too complicated, everyone has his own way.
"Xiao Bai, do you miss Yu She?"
"In no mood."
"oh."
The cake has a somewhat cold hardness after being chilled in the refrigerator.Yu Zhibai divided the cake into small pieces and fed it into his mouth. There was no need to chew it. He opened his red lips again and again, obviously eating very happily.
The cake was very small and was eaten quickly.
Yu Xiaoyu was quite scared. She was not afraid of Xiaobai in the afternoon, but she had always been afraid of Xiaobai turning into a paper man. It was probably due to the suppression of the same bloodline that she couldn't breathe.
She had no eyelids and could not close her eyes. She watched helplessly as Yu Zhibai, who was sitting opposite, cut herself open with scissors, took out the pieces of cake, fed it into her mouth, took it out again, and ate it again.Go on, go back and forth, go round and round
Yu Xiaoyu: "!" She is really afraid of such a novice!
In order to pursue a high degree of similarity with humans, Xiaobai has a part of blood vessels, just in case there is no blood flowing out when needed. Only part of the blood vessels are in the neck, wrists, some parts that are easily injured and exposed, and the rest are, still made of paper figurines.
Yu Zhibai ate like this for more than half an hour. When he finally had enough, he raised his eyes and said, "Yu Xiaoyu, good night."
Shannan didn't know what happened in Xingfu Community. He slept well without having a single dream. He slept until five minutes before the alarm clock went off.
He was startled when he sat up from the bed, causing him to burp.
The desk is by the window. He had packed it before going to bed last night. He even packed the things that should be put into his schoolbag. And the paper puppet that Yu Zhibai stuffed into his schoolbag before was the reward for South General.He put it in the drawer.
Shannan felt that Yu Zhibai was very smart. The paper figurine he gave him had no gloomy air at all. It was soft and looked very cute, even if he looked at it at night.
But the paper puppet that he put in the drawer appeared on his desk at some point, sitting on the edge of the table with its legs hanging down and facing the direction of Shannan's bed.
This paper puppet was made by Yu Zhibai in his own image. Shannan thought that the other party probably wanted to accompany him in this way all the time.
[14: At 50:00 last night, it pushed open the drawer and climbed onto the table to sit.]
"..."
Shang Nan got up and put the paper puppet into the drawer again. This time, he also locked it.
After washing and changing clothes, Shannan went out with his schoolbag.
The place he lived in was a wealthy community, and there were no problems with security and facilities. Even the parking lot was magnificently decorated. Shannan pressed the button for the first floor in the elevator.
The elevator descended steadily. Shang Nan looked at the changing red numbers in a daze. The door opened and Shang Nan walked out. As soon as he took a few steps, someone suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled him hard.Drag him into the cramped fire escape.
Shannan subconsciously thought it was another kidnapping and was about to leave when he saw the familiar brows of the person in front of him.
"noob?"
Yu Zhibai kissed Shang Nan's face, with a hint of grievance in his hot eyes, "Why don't you take me with you? Don't you like me?"
Shang Nan was stunned for a long time, wondering what was going on. Under Yu Zhibai's eyes that gradually became dim, Shang Nan's brain was running rapidly, and he finally came to his senses, "Ah, you said you gave me the paper puppet.I’m afraid I’ll get it dirty or damaged.”
In fact, it was because the paper doll was too big and took up a lot of space in the schoolbag. It also got dirty easily. What Shannan said was true.
Yu Zhibai did not doubt Shang Nan. He said "hmm", then took out something from his pocket and put it in Shang Nan's hand. Shang Nan looked down and saw - it was a paper puppet that was shrunk several times and was exactly the same as the paper puppet.Smaller paper puppets.
"..."
Yu Zhibai leaned down and smiled happily, "Keep me with you at all times."
