Volume 2 Cold Dew Chapter 86 Acrylic
In the next few days, Jiang You went to the police station twice and to Xu's home once. In the remaining time , he worked diligently, opened the store every day, and picked up the Taobao store that he had forgotten for a long time and launched a clearance promotion. The turnover was about to break through four figures.
Soon, it was the night of December 22nd.
He received a WeChat message from Wu Ya.
——
Wu Ya stood at the door of the bungalow.
She looked out.
The thin clouds vaguely obscured the moon.
The wind blew through the dry farmland, and the dry grass swayed, making a crackling sound.
A black car was approaching from a distance.
Wu Ya took a few steps forward.
The light from the car lights flashed across her face, illuminating the bumpy dirt ground in front of the bungalow.
The car stopped beside her.
The car door opened and a man in a black jacket got out. Then a slightly plump man holding a child and carrying a backpack got out from the back seat.
It’s Zhang Lin and Jiang You.
The scent of incense wafted through the air, only to be quickly blown away by the wind.
Wu Ya looked into the car door and saw Xu Jiaqi leaning in the back seat with his eyes closed.
Zhang Lin carried Xu Jiaqi out with both hands, and Wu Ya closed the car door.
The lights flickered and the car locked.
“It’s really cold.”
She heard Jiang You's voice.
She saw Jiang You put his left hand around Jiang Mo's waist and freed his right hand to pull up Jiang Mo's hat and tighten the small scarf around his collar. Then he followed Zhang Lin into the bungalow.
The venue has been set.
There were complicated patterns drawn on the ground, and in the middle of the room was a transparent rectangular container about one meter tall, with a bluish-black liquid flowing in it.
The blue candles were placed in rows and layers, but had not yet been lit.
Jiang You took out his cell phone from his jacket pocket and took a picture of the room.
"What are you doing?"
Wu Ya's voice came from behind Jiang You.
The voice was very tense.
Zhang Lin, who was standing in front and preparing to accommodate Xu Jiaqi, turned around when he heard this and saw the mobile phone in Jiang You's hand.
"Can't take the picture? Then I'll delete it." Jiang You deleted the picture in front of them.
Zhang Lin and Wu Ya looked at each other.
Zhang Lin took Xu Jiaqi down, walked to Wu Ya, and whispered, "Others have already started. The important steps are left to you."
Wu Ya nodded.
She walked forward to Xu Jiaqi.
Zhang Lin said to Jiang You: "Let's go outside."
"It's too windy outside, and he's had a low-grade fever lately."
"I'll watch him, you go out." Wu Ya said.
"No, he's shy."
"Then you all go out together." Wu Ya's tone was firm.
Jiang You hesitated for a moment, but finally he nodded, put down Jiang Mo , and followed Zhang Lin out.
The cold wind rushed into his neck and he zipped up his down jacket.
Zhang Lin glanced at him, and his eyes suddenly fell on his bulging backpack. He asked vigilantly, "What's in the bag?"
"In the bag?"
Jiang You took off his backpack, pulled it to the front and unzipped it. "Thermos cup, there's hot water in it, do you want some? The potato chips and shrimp crackers really take up a lot of space, and there are two chocolate cakes. In this compartment is the switch and his phone, and here..."
Jiang You took out a large acrylic box from his backpack. Inside was a pink unicorn made of Lego bricks. "I built this. It took me a long time.
Watching Jiang You displaying things one by one, Zhang Lin didn't know what expression to make for a moment.
"They are all his stuff." Jiang You turned around, trying to see Jiang Mo behind the door.
"What made you decide to adopt him?"
Jiang You tore open the cake packaging, took out a cake and handed it to Zhang Lin. Zhang Lin hesitated for a moment and took it. Jiang You took a bite of the cake and said, "What will happen to him if I don't adopt him?"
"Orphanage?"
"The welfare home provides very basic things," Jiang You couldn't help but turn his head to look at the door again. He said, "He's very good."
Jiang Mo watched Wu Ya take off Xu Jiaqi's outer clothes, leaving only her underwear, and then put her into the container.
Xu Jiaqi is not thin.
After putting it into the container, Wu Ya held the edge of the container and took a few breaths.
The blue-black liquid submerged Xu Jiaqi's face and hair.
Some bubbles came out.
Wu Ya's face was reflected in the water. Wu Ya saw herself. She saw her face transformed into Xu Jiaqi's face. She turned around suddenly. Jiang Mo was standing by the door, looking at him quietly.
A dot of crimson deep inside the pupil.
Then, all the candles in the room were lit at the same time.
In the candlelight, she saw the figure of the goddess.
Coming.
She knelt down, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and began to chant the name of the goddess devoutly.
After finishing the cake, Jiang You poured a cup of hot water from the thermos cup. He took a sip and his lips were burned . "The hot water I poured when I came out is still hot now. I heard it can keep warm for 24 hours."
Zhang Lin suddenly felt uneasy. He said, "Really?"
He took out his cell phone and checked the time.
Jiang You looked around and saw no place to put anything, so he held the cup and blew on it while drinking.
"I feel very sorry for Mr. Xu," he looked at Zhang Lin, "I remember you were his student."
"Yes, he has always encouraged me to pursue academic studies," Zhang Lin sneered, no longer trying to hide his feelings, "I was deceived by him."
"Cheated?"
"My family is not well off. If he really appreciates me, he should help me fight for it, but he only said it verbally..."
It was cold and the water temperature dropped quickly.
Jiang You finished the glass of water, closed the lid and put it back into his backpack. He found a cigarette and handed one to Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin refused.
Jiang You lit up the cigarette himself, "Did you like Jia Jia before?"
Smoke wafts from between fingers.
The candlelight overflowed from the crack in the door.
"I thought he had plans."
"What arrangements?"
" Who can stand Jia Jia's temper? I was the only one who was willing..." He recalled, "At that time, our department had a quota for studying abroad, and I told Teacher Xu that I wanted to apply for it." His voice gradually became lower, "Fortunately, I kept a trick."
He sneered again, "Look at her. I was right, no one can stand her."
Xu Jiaqi opened her eyes in the water.
The candlelight around fell into the water.
Wu Ya's chanting voice lingered in her ears.
A blister.
Breaking open before her.
A huge blue-black finger pierced through the roof and pointed downwards towards her forehead.
Zhang Lin suddenly felt something. He turned around and saw a goddess in a blue dress walking out from the illusion. Her skirt seemed to slide across his nose so lightly.
He knelt down.
Start chanting her name.
Jiang You took out his mobile phone, downloaded the deleted pictures from the cloud disk, and sent them to Tang Butian.
He said: "Boss, I want to call the police. There are strange people doing strange things and kidnapping me, my son and my friend."
