Chapter 6 Past - Strangers

At the end of the seventh grade vacation, he and his grandparents had an unprecedented argument. He even trampled to death all the silkworms his grandmother raised. She trembled with fear, hid behind her grandfather, but did not cry.

The situation was finally resolved by his grandmother agreeing to give him ten thousand yuan.

She couldn't stay at her grandmother's house anymore, he always brought it up, even though her grandparents told her parents to give her living expenses, he still didn't stop. Speaking of him, his grandmother always washed her face with tears, crying and saying that if she knew he was like that, she should have given him to someone else. When she returned to her home, her grandmother secretly gave her several thousand yuan, telling her to buy her own food and clothes, study well, and definitely put in the effort to study, and not disappoint their expectations of her.

Returning to their residence, Bach Tu and To Chi Quan had not been home for a long time, and the house was covered with a thick layer of dust. She cleans the house. This house is not big, so cleaning is not difficult. What surprised her the most was that the mat in the house had grown full of green moss, which made it funny to look at.

There were very few people living here. As soon as it was dark, when the strong wind blew and made the door bang loudly, she was instinctively scared.

She often wakes up in the middle of the night, thinking about her deceased grandparents, thinking about all sorts of thrilling ghost stories, the more she thinks about it, the more unable to sleep. But she didn't dare turn on the light, in the night there was only one bright light that would become a focal point. She was afraid of that feeling, so she could only lie on the bed, quietly closing her eyes, hoping to sleep quickly.

She always had some hallucinations. If she couldn't pull the blanket when pulling the blanket, she would always suspect that there was someone sitting next to the bed. That feeling would make her want to cry.

When she was studying at boarding school, one time the girl in the dormitory next to her discovered a small snake under her pillow. This scared her. She was always afraid that some animal would appear on her bed.

In that situation of panic and fear, she spent every day, living quietly, no one talked, no one chatted, she thought her life should probably be like that, peacefully passing each day. very normal.

Of course, unless that unexpected thing happens.

She slept dreamily, vaguely hearing many footsteps, this time it was very real, not an illusion.

She opened her eyes and was so scared that she crawled into the blanket.

The sound of knocking on the door rang out at this moment.

Who is knocking on the door at this time?

She crawled out of the blanket, the knocking sound appeared clearly in her ears, she got out of bed, picked up a small flashlight, and walked towards the living room.

Is it dad or mom coming back?

Hesitating for a moment, she turned on the living room light and opened the door.

Just in that moment, a pair of hands quickly pressed her against the wall, and the door was closed. She widened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her. The next second, that person touched the switch on her head and the light suddenly went out.

His hand was still covering her mouth, she couldn't make any sound.

She used her foot to kick him, he reacted very quickly, not injured at all.

There were many footsteps outside the door, and there was also the sound of non-stop talking.

"Where are you, where did you run to?"

"I just saw it running up here."

Someone is knocking on the door, "Is there anyone, is there anyone, open the door...".

After a while, a voice rang out outside the door, "How can anyone live in this cheap place?" ...".

"There probably isn't anyone there..."

The sound of footsteps gradually left.

She could feel beads of sweat appearing on her lips, and her breathing was getting heavier.

This person had no intention of letting her go.

In her mind, she thought of many possibilities, robbing something, she was so scared that her whole body trembled, her head went blank.

After a while, that person covered her mouth again and pulled her to the window. In the darkness, you could see several figures leaving the area.

"Don't shout loudly, otherwise I won't be polite to you."

The low, hoarse voice came, she was still surrounded in a state of confusion.

"Hear that?" He leaned close to her ear and asked as if to confirm.

She just tried to nod.

Finally, he let her go, released her hand, and suddenly she fell to the ground. He reached out and picked her up, "It's useless."

She breathed heavily, still breathing continuously.

A long time has passed, but that person randomly broke into someone else's house like the owner, turning on the living room light. Usually the switches are located closest to the door, so you can find them very easily.

As soon as the light turned on, she first used her hand to cover her eyes, then put her hand down after adapting.

He stood to the side, looking at her like he was looking at a funny creature.

She was just busy observing him. His clothes looked to be of very good quality, but they were torn, there were many wounds on his face, some places were still swollen, his hair was very messy, like he had been in a fight. . She thought about the people outside just now, thinking about gangster scenes in movies, maybe he encountered a "murder" scene?

"Have you seen enough?" He said impatiently.

She was a little lost, just because the posture he was standing in was like the posture of "a tree tilting its head" imagining the posture of the male lead in the novel that her table mate was fascinated with, at this moment he also like that, bring tThe pig is a bit evil, laughing somewhat jokingly.

"Mute?" He lifted his chin.

She swallowed her saliva and bowed her head without speaking.

"If you're not deaf, could you mind bringing out a set of clothes?" His speech is a little better.

She raised her head to look at him again, his posture did not change, he tilted his head and continued to laugh.

She stood up and actually went to get some clothes for him.

The clothes weren't great, at least when he received them, he kept frowning and pondering. He was definitely a boy born into a family with a good background, she thought.

But he still accepted it, but was very dissatisfied, "There's no water heater?".

"Oh my god, how is your bath?"

After a while he muttered to himself: "I'm such an idiot, what good can come to this shabby place...".

She stood there, looking at him for a long time before saying: "Do you want to take a bath?".

"Please, is it okay if it's clear and easy to see?"

She bowed her head again, "I can boil water for you."

"YES." What did he think, "So you're not dumb."

He had always been a famous teenager in school. He had never said much to girls. He only felt that this girl was very interesting and said very little, which surprised him.

She really boiled water for him, she felt like her brain was probably burned out.

He took a shower, put on baggy clothes, and his whole body looked unnatural.

After leaving, he couldn't help but take off his shirt, leaving only his shorts. He is very thin, the type of skinny that only boys have, unlike girls, when skinny doesn't feel too healthy.

Bach Luc looked at him blankly, because both his back and his chest had very obvious wounds.

Noticing her eyes, he smiled softly, "Afraid?".

She shook her head, but the distance from him was definitely more than two meters.

He crossed his legs and looked at this shy girl, "It's because of a fight, it's nothing." Also, I won't hurt you, you don't need to act like I'm such a wild beast, I'll stay one night and then leave, I'm tired to death now, I'm still very hungry, Can you cook something for me to eat?

She nodded again, not speaking.

It's rare to meet such a quiet girl.

Indeed, he was both tired and hungry, those ungrateful bastards, he said he was going solo, he ran alone, but the other side brought a whole group of people. Indeed, it is impossible to have the kindness to keep one's word on certain people, he almost lost his life, luckily he ran fast.

Before, when he ran all the way upstairs, he felt that he was very unlucky. This shabby house really didn't look like anyone lived in it, the door was still locked, further proving his guess.

On the last floor, he himself did not believe that he had a precious star.

As a result, it was really unlocked. With a try-it-see attitude, he knocked on the door.

God will certainly not let Dang Canh Nam die.

After a while, she brought out a bowl of fried rice and eggs.

Place it in front of him, then automatically stay two meters away from him.

He glanced at her, could it be that he was a god or something, even if he was injured, this face still wouldn't be at the point of being ruined, why would it become ignored like that?

He still picked up the bowl to eat, the taste was really good, the eggs were very soft, the rice was very fragrant, making people crave for food, not to mention he was really hungry.

"Bring me some boiling water."

Rice is delicious, but eating too much will dry your mouth.

As soon as your young master's temper arrived, he opened his mouth to the wrong person.

She was stunned, then actually went to boil water for him.

He realized later that this girl was very suitable to be a servant.
