Chapter 45
Two charred corpses, one big and one small, were holding hands and floated over without touching the ground.A woman with disheveled hair ran desperately ahead, looking back with wide, frightened eyes as she ran.The speed of the two corpses was neither slow nor urgent, and they followed closely behind the woman three or four meters away, neither getting too close nor being thrown off by her.

After running for hundreds of meters, the woman was finally on the verge of mental and physical collapse. The desire to survive could no longer support her body, her legs gave way, and she collapsed on the ground.

The little corpse approached her step by step, with a childish smile on its scorched face, and said in a childlike voice, "Mom, I miss you—" two charcoal-black arms stretched out, Jumped on the woman who was extremely frightened.

The woman opened her mouth wide and wanted to call out, but she couldn't make a sound, her throat was choked, her face turned purple, and cold sweat dripped from her forehead, thick as if it had been splashed by water.She squeezed her throat tightly, as if she would lose her breath at any moment.

An eager male voice rang in her ears: "Huahua, what's wrong with you? Are you having nightmares again?"

The woman yelled, woke up with a start, opened her eyes in the dark, and after a while she regained her composure, remembering the horrible scene in her sleep, it was still vivid in front of her eyes, she couldn't help covering her face with her hands, and cried out.

This is Huang Manhua and her lover Yu Ziyi, who registered their marriage ten days after Huang Manhua's husband and son were burned to death.

Huang Manhua woke up from his sleep, looked at his watch, it was four o'clock in the morning, the cold and pale moonlight shone on the ground through the gaps in the curtains, it was indescribably indifferent and desolate.Huang Manhua was so disturbed by the nightmare that he lost all sleep. He tossed and turned on the bed for 10 minutes, then put on his clothes and walked back and forth in the room.

She strolled into the kitchen, took a cup on the stove, poured half a cup of hot water, brought it to her mouth and took a sip, letting the hot liquid slowly flow down her throat into her stomach, feeling comfortable a lot.Her eyes wandered aimlessly around the room, and when she inadvertently passed over the window sill, an exquisite and transparent object came into view suddenly, her whole body trembled suddenly, and the cup fell from her hand to the ground and shattered.

Yu Ziyi turned over and jumped out of the bed after hearing the sound in a daze, and walked into the kitchen, and saw Huang Manhua standing blankly by the stove, staring at the direction of the window sill, his face was pale, his lips were trembling, and his upper and lower teeth were knocking. Hit, can't stop no matter what.

Seeing Huang Manhua's frightened look, Yu Zide felt his hairs stand on end. He walked over and put his arms around Huang Manhua's shoulders, and said softly, "Huahua, what are you so afraid of?" Embolden yourself.

Huang Manhua pointed to the windowsill of the kitchen and stammered, "Fish tank, fish tank..."

Yu Zide looked up and saw that it was an empty round glass fish tank, which was quietly placed on the kitchen window sill. He was a little confused and said, "Isn't it just a fish tank? What's wrong?"

Huang Manhua's voice trembled, "Where did it come from?"

Yu Zide said: "This is a souvenir from a student's parent who went out to eat yesterday. It said it was a three-dimensional carved acrylic boutique fish tank produced by my factory. I didn't want to accept it. The parent told me that there was still a generous gift, so I reluctantly kept it." Down. I don’t know what kind of wind is blowing now, but flowers, birds, fish, insects, cats, dogs, etc. are popular, and the big leaders are playing with antique calligraphy and paintings, so let’s just tinker with it.”

Yu Zide is a cadre of the District Education Bureau. He holds important authority over the school selection of children. He often has dinners. He didn't come home until after ten o'clock last night. At that time, Huang Manhua was already in bed.

Huang Manhua recovered from the panic, and said angrily: "Take it away, I don't want to see it."

Yu Zide was a little confused, and said perfunctorily, "Okay, take it away." He let go of Huang Manhua, walked over to pick up the fish tank, opened the cabinet door, and prepared to put it inside.

Huang Manhua screamed, "No, throw it out, throw it outside."

Yu Zide looked at her in surprise, "Tell me, what are you doing with a fish tank?"

Huang Manhua yelled hysterically, "Throw it out, do you hear me, I'll let you throw it out."

Yu Zide was a little dissatisfied, and muttered, "Slut." But he still walked outside the door and put the fish tank in the garbage bag.

A turmoil passed, but it left some shadows in the hearts of both of them.

The adultery between Huang Manhua and Yu Zide started three years ago.Yu Zide was five years older than Huang Manhua. He got married six years ago. During his honeymoon, he was caught and raped by his wife in bed and divorced. Since then, he has been able to deal with all kinds of women like a fish in water, and he is not in a hurry to remarry.But his parents wanted to have a grandson, so they urged him to quickly find a woman to have children. As for whether he would go out and mess around again after marriage, it was not within the scope of consideration of the two old people.

Yu Ziyi has a perfect ability to hook up with married women. After meeting Huang Manhua, Lang has a lover and concubine, and the two quickly hook up.Yu Zide loves her for being beautiful and coquettish, while Huang Manhua loves him for his stable job and good income.After Huang Manhua's husband and child were burned to death, the two couldn't wait to live together. They didn't care about the divergent opinions of the outside world, and they had a demeanor of "walking their own way and letting others talk about it".

Huang Manhua works as the marketing director of a dating site.Internet companies are popping up everywhere now, and the title of "director" is overused, just like the "manager" in the early days of reform and opening up. It is said that when a brick was thrown on the street, four people were hit, and three of them were managers. This shows the extent of its proliferation.Huang Manhua, the marketing director, only has two or three soldiers under him. Because the team is extremely unstable, there will be three soldiers today and two soldiers tomorrow, so it is impossible to count the exact numbers.

A week after the fish tank turmoil, Huang Manhua came home temporarily at noon one day, and found Yu contentedly sitting on the sofa in the living room, humming to the TV show while eating melon seeds.It is common for Yu Zi to stay at home during working hours. Even so, it is said that his district is still striving for a four-day work week for civil servants.Huang Manhua didn't care either, he kept talking and rummaging for what he needed.

Huang Manhua walked into the kitchen, and as soon as he stepped in with one foot, he felt something reflecting the strong sunlight at noon in summer, dazzling flowers.Huang Manhua was dizzy for a while before he could see clearly, a round, exquisitely carved glass fish tank was impressively placed on the windowsill of the kitchen.

Huang Manhua was furious, and shouted: "Yu Zide, come here!"

Yu Zide was immersed in the lingering love of Mimizhiyin, and was startled by the sudden roar of the Hedong lion. He subconsciously followed the order and ran into the kitchen, saying, "What's wrong?"

Huang Manhua pointed like a halberd, pointing at the fish tank and roaring: "What is this?"

Yu Zide looked surprised: "Hey, fish tank, where did you get the fish tank? Did you bring it back? Didn't you say you don't like having fish tanks at home last time?"

Huang Manhua pushed Ziyue's shoulder in dissatisfaction, pushing him staggering all the way, almost falling to the ground.Huang Manhua shouted domineeringly: "Yu Zide, don't pretend to be confused, you know I don't like fish tanks, did you buy them on purpose to anger me?"

When Yu Ziyi was pushed by her, she also hit him with fire, thinking that this woman is really amazing. When she was in love, she acted like a shy and cute little bird, but after getting married, she no longer concealed her true colors. The feminine nature is exposed.Yu Zide also raised his voice and yelled, "Don't f*ck you mess around without asking questions. If I bring this fish tank home, I'll be hit by a car and die when I go out. I won't live until the end of this year!"

Huang Manhua was really angry when he saw that his eyes were red, and he swore viciously, as if he was lying, a fear rose from the bottom of his heart, and he said in a trembling voice: "Don't scare me, you really didn't bring this fish tank back. ?”

Yu Zide was still angry, and spat at her: "A broken fish tank, am I worthy of lying? You woman is really unreasonable."

If Yu Zide had spoken in such a tone in normal times, Huang Manhua would have known the difficulty and confronted him, resolutely suppressing his limelight.But today she had no thoughts at all. Looking at the dazzling glass fish tank with flowers on the window sill, her body felt chills, and her sweat pores were dilated. feel.

The more Huang Manhua thought about it, the more frightened she became. She lost control of her urine, soaked most of her trousers, and dripped to the ground—this was the root cause of her illness when she passed a cemetery late at night in her childhood. Whenever she encountered something nervous or afraid, she would urinate Pants.Fear smoldered in his chest, and finally turned into a cry that burst out: "Husband, they came to settle accounts with me, they came to me..."

Seeing her showing weakness, Yu Zide seemed to be terribly frightened, not to chase after her, so he changed his tone and said, "Okay, don't be afraid, what came to you? Don't be confused, it's just a broken woman." Fish tank? It's fine."

Huang Manhua burst into tears like rain, with his mouth wide open, his thick eye shadow and lipstick were mixed with tears and saliva, and there was an avant-garde picture on the corners of his mouth and chin: "Husband, retribution, retribution."

Yu Zide realized something: "What did you say? Are you hiding something from me?"

After all, Huang Manhua hadn't completely lost his mind. He suddenly realized his situation, suppressed his crying, and said with a sob, "It's okay, I was frightened. This fish tank ran into the kitchen by itself. The more I think about it, the more frightening I am."

Yu Zide also echoed, "That's right, no outsiders have ever visited our house, and neither of us has ever bought a fish tank. Where did this fish tank come from? What the hell."

When the two confirmed each other, they both felt creepy.In the end, Yu Ziy took the courage to pack the fish tank with a piece of rag and threw it into the trash can.The fish tank whizzed down the garbage chute with the sound of the wind, and hit the ground heavily, making a loud noise of falling apart.

Will this spooky fish tank come uninvited again?
