Chapter 21 The Disappearing Blood Child
The windows above the fifth floor of Tiedong Community have a peripheral guardrail, which is to prevent children from slipping and falling when they are playing.

This kind of guardrail has a certain protective effect on young children, but it is not very effective for sixth graders like Xiaodong.

At such a height, Xiaodong can turn over and go down directly as long as he climbs up.

So when Shen Jiayun heard that her son had just jumped from here, she immediately believed it, as if struck by lightning.

However, she leaned over the window and looked at it for a while, but she didn't find anything downstairs, and she couldn't help but wonder:
"Mr. Li, are you reading it wrong? There's nothing down here..."

Li Tianque panted heavily, murmured in shock:
"Impossible... I just saw a child jump from here with my own eyes.

Could it be...do you have any other children in your family?I did see a child jumping from here just now, and what is even more frightening is that when that child jumped, his entire scalp fell off, and his head was covered in blood..."

Shen Jiayun looked at Li Tianque inexplicably, and said doubtfully:

"Mr. Li... You must be too tired from work recently. My son is the only child in my family. He just went to pick up the courier. How could he suddenly jump from here?"

"I didn't lie to you... I will not be mistaken, it is indeed Xiaodong, it should be him..." Li Tianque murmured to himself, and his mind was still echoing. Arrived at the scene:
It was a child covered in bright red blood, who looked exactly like Xiaodong in appearance.

The child's eyes were dull and ethereal, his upper body was bent and curled up, and his arms were drooping, as if he had broken a bone.

He just stared out of the window expressionlessly, the child's scalp had been completely torn off by some terrible force, revealing the beating bright red brain inside, his face was livid.

Li Tianque's initial thought was to lift the curtain and hug the child to save him from above.

But when he saw this terrifying scene with his own eyes, he was completely frightened and froze in place after a cry of surprise.

At this time, the child in front of him suddenly jumped up and passed through the window.

To be precise, this is not jumping, but passing through, as if his body has turned into nothingness, directly falling through the glass and falling rapidly.

What's even more weird is that after Shen Jiayun heard the screams coming in, the child disappeared without a trace.

Li Tianque didn't believe that what he saw just now was a hallucination, so he leaned on the window railing in surprise and looked down.

But just like what Shen Jiayun said, I really can't see anything now.

Because the floor is too high, things downstairs can't be seen clearly, but there are other people downstairs, if a child falls suddenly, it is impossible not to cause a sensation.

Li Tianque saw that no one jumped off the building, but his heart was still pounding, so he said:

"Sister Jiayun, I can't joke with you about this kind of thing. I really saw a child jumping from here just now. Let's go down and have a look..."

"Ah? This..." Seeing Li Tianque's nervous expression, Shen Jiayun really didn't seem to be joking, which made her a little scared.

Shen Jiayun tore off her apron, and muttered to herself with red eyes, "No way, you must have read it wrong, Xiaodong has already gone downstairs just now..."

Even though she kept talking, Shen Jiayun still couldn't wait to go downstairs with Li Tianque.

But just as the two of them arrived at the door, the doorbell rang.

At this time, the melodious and beautiful music also seemed a little thrilling.

Shen Jiayun couldn't wait to open the door, only to find that Zhang Xiaodong was holding a courier box and biting a popsicle in his mouth, looking at the two of them in bewilderment.

Shen Jiayun's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, he hugged Zhang Xiaodong, his body was still trembling:

"You scared mom to death, I thought you really..."

Zhang Xiaodong didn't understand what happened at all. He took a bite of the popsicle and threw the courier box on the ground. Feeling all this was inexplicable, he couldn't help asking:
"Hey, hey, hey...Mom, what's wrong with you? Did he bully you? I beat him..."

"No, little bastard." Shen Jiayun stood up and patted Xiaodong's head, "Just now Uncle Li said that he saw a child jump out of our window, and he said he looked a lot like you."

Li Tianque was also a little confused when he saw this scene.

Are you really wrong?It shouldn't be...

Xiaodong is standing in front of him completely like this now, looking lively, lovely and full of vigor, not at all like he just jumped off the building.

So who was the person who jumped from the window just now?

There are still many people chatting, playing chess, and dancing square dances in the open space downstairs in the community. It is impossible that such a big living person jumped from the top just now, and there is still no reaction at all, right?
"Huh? Brother Li... Did you hallucinate while playing a horror game? Last time you borrowed my card and passed the level, and you didn't get into the drama as much as you do." Xiaodong said mischievously, biting a popsicle.

Li Tianque also felt that all this was too unimaginable. Could it be that he was really too tired?
But no matter what, he had only heard of such things as hallucinations, but he had never seen them, and it was even more impossible for him to happen to him.

After a false alarm, Li Tianque finished the meal absent-mindedly.

Although every dish in front of him is delicious, smooth and refreshing fresh mixed dishes, rich and fragrant cheese shrimp balls, hot and spicy beef with double peppers, these dishes are his favorites.

But no matter how delicious these dishes are now, Li Tianque can't taste anything.

His mind kept replaying the scene that happened just now, and he couldn't help but cast a few glances to the side of the curtains, he didn't even have the intention to record a video.

After finally finishing the meal, Li Tianque immediately prepared to check out and leave. Shen Jiayun still warmly came over to see him off, but the look in his eyes became a little strange, which made Li Tianque feel a little embarrassed.

Shen Jiayun looked at the preoccupied Li Tianque, and comforted her softly:

"Mr. Li, you may often stay up late when editing videos, which is very bad for your health. If conditions permit, it is best to adjust your work and rest. After all, your body is the capital of your struggle."

Li Tianque smiled awkwardly, nodded and said:

"Hahaha, I'm really tired recently, I'm sorry to cause you trouble."

"It's okay, come often when you are free." Shen Jiayun said with a smile.

At this time, Xiaodong also came out, returned the NS cassette that he borrowed from Li Tianque last time, and said:

"Hey, Uncle Li, I cleared "The Blair Witch" in five hours, faster than you!"

"Xiaodong, it's better to play less games, it's not good for your eyes." Li Tianque poked Xiaodong's nose and smiled.

Zhang Xiaodong made a grimace and said:

"Hey, you have to combine work and rest. Don't be so tired that you will see me hang yourself next time... Hahahaha, it's so fun. Uncle, tell the truth, how much do you hate me?"

Li Tianque smiled awkwardly, but was still puzzled in his heart.

"I really just now..." Li Tianque hesitated to speak, feeling that he didn't need to continue explaining to this child.

Li Tianque opened the door and left, and heard Xiaodong say to Shen Jiayun from a distance:

"Mom, I just made an appointment with my classmates to go to the playground tomorrow, so I don't need to bring mine for lunch..."

"Xiaodong, your hair needs to be cut, it is so long that it looks like a girl, it can be braided."

"How can there be time? There are so many extra-curricular classes. Huh, the school said that the burden has been reduced, and you don't let us children go. Let's talk about it another day..."
