Chapter 1

After I moved to Lingyun Community, the neighbors in the community saw me, whether they were going out or coming back, they would say to me with a strange expression, "I'm back, it's good to be back".

This was originally a greeting between neighbors, but the strange thing is that when they said it, their expressions were a little numb, and after they finished speaking, they seemed to forget to say hello to me again, looked at me vigilantly, and left in a hurry.

What's more, sometimes the child will look at me with that empty expression, like an old man who is pleased to say to me: "I'm back, it's good to be back."

It made me feel hairy, so I tried to go in and out with my roommate Yang Hui as much as possible.

When I came back that day, I met several people like this along the way. Obviously, Yang Hui and I were walking together, but those people walked up to me in a daze, looked at me with their eyes, and said such words faintly.

Yang Hui still looked at me with a smile: "You are the real home, full of acquaintances."

When I arrived at the door, there was a rectangular white paper bag on the doorknob, on which was written: Yun Miao.

The paper bag was not big, palm-width, long, and had no handle, as if it had been pasted with snow-white paper. The width was just right on the doorknob, and it stood upright.

The word "Yunmiao" is in the simplified characters of the Wei stele. It is written on the narrow white paper and stands on the doorknob. Behind it is the dark red entrance door. It looks, It's a bit like a tablet, which made me panic.

Just when I saw the paper bag, I vaguely heard a faint male voice saying: "Come back."

I hurriedly glanced to the side, there was nothing but the empty hallway and the dark stairs.

Yang Hui was already in a hurry to enter the door, picked up the white paper bag, glanced at it and said, "Yun Miao, you've only moved here for a few days, and someone you have a crush on has given you something? It's still written with a brush." , must be a genius!"

She immediately took out the contents, it was a solid wood red lacquer box carved with cloud patterns, and smiled at me: "It's quite tasteful, let me help you look."

"You don't move."

I was recently greeted inexplicably by those neighbors, which made my heart tremble, especially when I saw that the paper bag looked like the kind of white paper used to paste paper figures, my heart was even tighter.

But Yang Hui had already opened the box and exclaimed excitedly.

I saw that the wooden box was padded with black satin, and inside lay a pure gold bracelet, which looked a little old in color, but the bracelet was carved with auspicious clouds, and there were three bells in the shape of lotus pods.

"It's so beautiful. The retro style is popular now. Is this pure gold? At least fifty or sixty grams, right? It's really tasteful and rich!"

Yang Hui held the bracelet and shook it at me with bright eyes.

She clicked her tongue in surprise and said, "If someone gives me a bracelet like this, no matter if it's a human or a ghost, I'd like to make an appointment."

The bracelet is a bit like the ancient and mellow gold that is popular now. As Yang Hui shakes it, the lotus bell hanging below it also jingles.

The lotus pod was no more than the size of a thumb, and the clear ringing sound seemed to reverberate throughout the aisle.

In the sound of "Dingling", I seemed to hear a man's displeased cold snort.

I was so frightened that my heart trembled, and the sound of the bell made my eardrums hurt, so I quickly reached out to Yang Hui: "Stop making trouble, put it away, put it in the property, and let them find someone to claim it. Why are you ringing the bell at night!"

But Yang Hui was shaking the bracelet, laughing: "The roll call is for you, what's the point? Don't wear it for me... I'll go to the appointment on your behalf. This bracelet costs at least twenty or thirty thousand! You don't care who it is. Ghost, make an appointment, it's worth it!"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly screamed, and said to me with the hand shaking the bracelet: "What is this?"

On the back of her hand lay a blood-colored ant, the size of a grain of rice, with its upper jaw piercing into her flesh.

It was obviously very painful, and it was tied very tightly. Yang Hui shook her hand twice but did not shake it off. As she shook it, two more bells crawled out of the lotus bells of the bracelet.

She was so frightened that she pinched the bracelet and stiffened the back of her hand, and screamed at me: "Yun Miao, Yun Miao..."

Just as she was screaming, I vaguely heard a male voice laughing coldly.

It's just very vague, and the sound insulation of the community is not good, so I don't know if I heard it wrong.

I looked at the bracelet, and the paper bag in Yang Hui's hand that looked like a memorial tablet. I squeezed my fingers to help her flick away the ants, then quickly put the bracelet away in a box, and said to Yang Hui, "It's said that the origin is unknown." You can't touch anything."

Those ants were quite poisonous, and the back of Yang Hui's hands was so red and swollen that some bloody spots came out, and she cried and said to me, "I read it because it was written for you. It's not your fault!"

I let out a helpless cold sigh in my heart, so I had to drag Yang Hui into the room, but when I opened the door, I vaguely heard the male voice sigh again.

I was so scared that I quickly pulled Yang Hui in, put the paper bag in the shoe cabinet, and then found cool oil to wipe her where the ants were bitten.

Yang Hui has a delicate temper and keeps blaming me, saying that she shouldn't share the rent with me.

I promised to make two dishes she likes, so she stopped talking about me.

After eating, she kept scratching the back of her hand, saying it was itchy, and started blaming me again.

In the past, she always used the excuse of this pain and that pain, and didn't want to share the hygiene of the house, and I didn't care.

Ant bites a few bites, how uncomfortable it can be.

Washing the dishes, tidying up the kitchen, collecting clothes, and mopping the floor by herself, Yang Hui seemed to have fallen asleep.

I also don't want to touch the paper bag, thinking that when I go to work tomorrow, I will give the bracelet to the property management and let them check who put it in the surveillance.

But at night, I always vaguely hear the bells ringing, and the jingle bells are so noisy that I can't sleep.

In a daze, I always heard a man's voice whispering in my ear: "Yun Miao, it's good to be back. I'm back..."

There is a saying in my hometown that you can’t whistle or ring the bell at night, and you can only ring the bell in the middle of the night when you are recruiting ghosts or doing a dojo.

But the sound of the bell was so clear that I couldn't tell whether it was a dream or something.

Just as I was wondering, I heard that male voice calling me: "Yun Miao, wake up."

Following my body jerk, I really woke up.

I was so scared that I quickly turned on the light, and found a real or fake Jade Buddha from the bedside table and held it in my hand, but I heard "ding ding ding ding" coming from outside.

Yang Hui is a bit greedy for cheap things, I'm afraid she'll go get that bracelet again.

Holding the Jade Buddha, I opened the door and took a look. I saw that it was late at night, and the living room was not lit. Yang Hui, with disheveled hair, was wearing pajamas, and she was wearing the auspicious cloud lotus bell bracelet. The street lights coming in through the window Glittering gold.

She held it up, and the bracelet was set on the hand bowl, shaking in a weird rhythm, and the few bells were also ringing rhythmically.

While walking, he was still thinking: "I'm back, I'm back... Yun Miao, I'm back."

Her voice was exactly the same as when the neighbors in the neighborhood said "I'm back" when they saw me.
