The rain in early autumn fell a little urgently, with big raindrops hitting the windows, awnings, the ground and pedestrians' umbrellas, causing splashes of water.
Shi Ying held on to the umbrella and walked in the rain. The rain hit the green umbrella, making a muffled sound. Shi Ying walked faster. She wanted to find a convenience store or subway station quickly so she could buy one.
Ten or twenty yuan for an umbrella.
There was no other reason. His arms were tired from holding the umbrella, and the rate of turning around was too high, making Shi Ying a little irritable.
There were not many people traveling on a rainy day, but more than 50% of the people within sight would pay attention to her, or the umbrella in her hand. Shi Ying could understand, after all, this umbrella was really eye-catching, and her dress
It doesn't match the atmosphere of this umbrella at all, which makes it even more intriguing.
Moreover, she seemed to have forgotten to ask Boss Luo about the material of this umbrella. Shi Ying thought that the umbrella was not light, and the ribs should be made of good wood, possibly with metal inside. It was really difficult for her to hold it up with one hand.
"Beep, beep, beep." A taxi slowly stopped beside her, the window was lowered, and the taxi driver greeted her: "Girl, do you want to take a taxi?"
Shi Ying nodded, quickly closed the umbrella and got into the car.
After reporting the address, Shi Ying silently tidied up the umbrella he had just used, guessing the probability of a taxi accident. It shouldn't be too high. There have been two fatalities related to cars in the past few times. It would be a bit awkward to have another accident in the car.
Boring.
The driver drove the car slowly, glanced at the rearview mirror, and talked to Shi Ying: "Girl, your umbrella is so beautiful. It looks extraordinary from a distance. Where did you buy it? It's expensive, isn't it?"
"I didn't buy it. It was specially made for school club activities. It seems to be quite expensive." Shi Ying said casually.
"Oh, yes, I know, it's that kind of cosplay club, right? My daughter also likes these. But I think the style of this umbrella should be more ancient, and my daughter is in the two-dimensional direction."
"Well, yes, but our internal styles are also diverse. Some people like both ancient style and two-dimensional style. Everyone has a wide range of interests."
"My daughter can still earn pocket money through activities, and she can give me and her mother some money from time to time. She said that she can make this her main job after graduation. Which direction do you think is better for employment, cosplay or architectural design?"
It seems that the driver's daughter's major is architectural design, "...well...well, in the short term, it should be cosplay. Real estate is really not doing well now."
The master talked about the real estate situation, national policies, bank loans, rising prices, new energy trams, medical insurance reform, and finally came to the door of Shiyingjia Community when it came to garbage classification.
Shi Ying paid and got out of the car, and then opened the umbrella, which was defined as a cos prop. Shi Ying felt that this reason was quite useful. Otherwise, if others asked, he would just answer that it was a relic of my grandfather. Wouldn't it be telling others?
This thing is valuable, come and grab it.
When Shi Ying returned home, she put her umbrella in the umbrella tube at the entrance, preparing to pack it up later. She took out her phone and reported to her father that she had completed her mission. When she returned home, her father asked a very strange question, which made Shi Ying very surprised.
Confuse.
The umbrella didn't wander around, right?
Shi Ying: Can the umbrella still run around? How can it run around?
There is indeed something wrong with this umbrella, right? Shi's father must know that there is something wrong with this umbrella. He knew it and still asked her to get this umbrella. Is it his biological father? Her bizarre experience is indeed related to this umbrella!
Broken umbrella! Shi Ying was furious. She hung up the phone angrily, picked up the umbrella parked at the entrance, and went to the balcony.
She opened the umbrella, put it on the ground, and began to express her emotions: "You can run, right? Are all my accidents all the way because of you? Run and let me see. I want to see you."
How can this umbrella without long legs run?" Shi Ying folded his arms and looked down at the green umbrella still dripping on the balcony. Not to mention that although this umbrella was very wrong and problematic, it still looked good.
I saw the pityful smell and cursed secretly when I said "green tea umbrella".
I don't know whether it was Shi Ying's emotional output that played a role, or whether the umbrella was being stared at uncomfortably. On the balcony that was closed on all sides and had no windows, the umbrella placed on the ground rolled slightly.
Shi Ying was a little dazed for a moment. She didn't expect that she could speak so well, and she didn't expect that the umbrella could really move. What kind of thing did my grandfather leave for future generations? Is this thing serious or not?
The umbrella seemed to see that Shi Ying was motionless, and rolled back gently, gently. Want to pretend that nothing happened? Shi Ying sneered, trying to hide it.
Ignoring the strange umbrella, Shi Ying closed the balcony door, returned to the room and ordered a takeaway. While waiting for the takeout, she searched the Internet on her mobile phone to find out if anyone had a similar situation to her. All the results came up
It is a variety of unlimited novels.
Even so, Shi Ying did not give up and collected a few books to read, maybe the protagonist's experiences might have some reference for her.
"Ding dong"
The doorbell rang, it must have been the takeaway.
Shi Ying took her cell phone, which was still reading a novel, and got up to open the door.
“Hello, your takeaway”
Shi Ying held her cell phone in one hand and took the takeaway with the other.
"have a good meal"
When Shi Ying was about to close the door with the hand holding the mobile phone, the delivery man suddenly pulled Shi Ying's arm. The force was so strong that Shi Ying felt pain. The delivery man produced a gleaming kitchen knife from nowhere and slashed hard.
Shiying's arm.
Shi Ying reacted immediately and smashed the takeaway with her other hand at the takeaway clerk's face. Unfortunately, she ordered a pizza, which didn't have much lethality. It only affected his line of sight and made him dodge.
After Shi Ying died several times, his reflexes had improved and he was no longer as overwhelmed as he was during the first encounter.
She quickly stretched out her legs to kick the delivery man's knee. The delivery man's forward swing of the knife was slightly blocked. Shi Ying seized this opportunity, ducked back into the house, and closed the door with a bang.
Shi Ying locked the door and leaned against the entrance to calm her breathing. This time she was not killed, survived, and was not even injured. Does this mean that although the mysterious force that wants her to die is still there, it has weakened.
The reason is, is it because I got the umbrella, or is it because I became stronger?
After she calmed down, her first reaction was to report the crime, but she found that the phone was not on her body. It was probably outside the door. She had dropped it on the ground when she was pulling it. She didn't dare to open the door to pick up the phone now because she didn't know that the delivery boy who committed the crime was still there.
Not here.
"Ding dong", the doorbell rang again.
Shi Ying didn't move or make a sound.
"Hello, your takeaway has arrived." The voice seemed to be different this time and it was not the same person.
Could this be the real takeaway this time and the one just now was fake?
Shi Ying thought about it and said, "Leave it at the door. I'll pick it up later."
"Okay, I've left it at the door for you. Get it early. I wish you a pleasant meal."
After a while, Shi Ying looked out through the peephole and saw that there was indeed no one in the corridor. He turned around and took the clothes drying rod as a weapon, then opened the door and checked outside.
There was only a takeaway lying quietly outside the door, which was exactly the same as the one just now. The takeout that he dropped during the first fight and his cell phone were gone. I wonder if the murderer took them away.
Shi Ying put the takeout directly in the garbage storage area at the door, not planning to eat it. He boiled water and soaked a bowl of cup noodles, took out the spare phone from the living room, and prepared to apply for a new phone card tomorrow, so he used the spare phone first.
After eating the instant noodles, Shi Ying remembered that there was an ancestor on the balcony. Shi Ying washed an apple and leaned against the balcony door to eat while asking Comrade Qing Umbrella, who was not sure whether he was watching the whole situation: "You are the one who asked people to kill you."
Is it mine? If so, move it to my left, if not to the right."
The umbrella turned slightly clockwise.
"Do you know what happened to me before?"
Turned back.
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
Continue to turn left.
"I was okay just now, was it because you were here?"
Continue to turn left.
"Okay, stop turning. If you turn again and hit the flower pot, I will have to take care of both of them."
The umbrella was obedient and motionless.
"The last question is, as long as you are here, I will be safe. If so, I will not move. If not, I will move to the right."
It was very difficult for the umbrella to maintain its tangled and trembling movements to the right and left.
"Okay, I understand. I'm sorry to trouble you. Please take care of me in the future." Shi Ying concluded the interview. She probably understood that the umbrella meant that it was the cause of the matter, but it could basically solve it.
.
Maybe it's to protect yourself from death like before, maybe it's to resurrect yourself like before.
When soldiers come, the water will be blocked and the earth will cover it up. As long as you live, you will have a solution. Shi Ying has always been very open-minded.
