Lin Mo suddenly felt that he seemed to have oversimplified things.
"Hey, Xiao Lin, I've heard from our Xixi that you are indeed a talented person. Come in quickly."
After Zhang Ningxi's mother saw Lin Mo, she quickened her pace, stepped forward and took Lin Mo's arm and dragged her to the living room, but she still praised Lin Mo.
"Ning Xi..."
Lin Mo turned around to ask for help, only to find that Zhang Ningxi seemed to have not seen anything. She was chatting happily with the person who greeted them before. When she heard Lin Mo calling her, she accidentally turned around and turned her back to Lin Mo.
.
This is a trap!
Lin Mo was dragged by Zhang Ningxi's mother to sit on the sofa in the living room, but her hand was not let go. As for Zhang Ningxi, she didn't know when she came to the other side of the sofa and sat down, picked up the teapot on the table and gave it to the two of them.
The water was poured, but Zhang Ningxi's mother had already prepared the three-part plan.
"Xiao Lin, how long have you known our Xixi?"
"Who else is at home?"
"When do you plan to get married?"
... ...
A series of questions made Lin Mo's head swell instantly. How could he pretend to be a boyfriend and fall into such a deep pit? How should he answer?
Marriage? What does it have to do with yourself?
I'm still young!
"Well, auntie..."
"What's the matter, Xiaolin?"
Zhang Ningxi's mother was still kind, but Lin Mo no longer knew how to deal with the situation. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Ningxi, you brought me here, you can't leave me alone!
"Ahem, Mom, this is Lin Mo's first time here, don't scare people."
Zhang Ningxi interrupted her mother's rhythm with a smile. At this time, Zhang Ningxi's mother also realized that this was Lin Mo's first time at home, but the enthusiasm did not diminish.
"It's okay, Xiao Lin. From now on, I'll come over to my house for dinner when I have nothing to do. Auntie's cooking is very good. Just tell Xixi in advance what you want to eat."
"mom!"
"Okay, you young people are chatting. I'm going to cook. Xiaolin, tell Auntie if there's anything you want to eat."
"Thank you, auntie."
Zhang Ningxi's mother then stood up with satisfaction and walked towards the kitchen.
Lin Mo and Zhang Ningxi were left in the living room, so it was time for a showdown.
"It's really hard for you to handle this busy schedule."
"Okay, okay, I think I owe you a favor."
Zhang Ningxi stuck out her tongue playfully, but Lin Mo had no choice. What should he do? He had no choice but to accept it.
"Okay, I'm here now, why don't I see my uncle? Isn't he at home?"
Lin Mo raised his head and glanced at the stairs on the second floor. There was no sound from above.
"Yes, the situation on the second floor is a bit special, so let's eat first, and I will find a chance to take you up after the meal."
Lin Mo shrugged. He would not refuse the victim's request, because it was useless to refuse. The key was that after smelling the tempting fragrance of the food, Lin Mo felt that the strength in his body was being drained little by little. He was so hungry that he had no strength anymore.
Mo thought about it again, and it seemed like a good choice to come here to have a meal.
The atmosphere was particularly harmonious during the meal. Zhang Ningxi's mother kept putting vegetables into Lin Mo's bowl, and Lin Mo refused everyone who came, eating as much as she could. Zhang Ningxi's mother was smiling from ear to ear as she watched.
Zhang Ningxi, on the other hand, was completely left out. After dinner, Lin Mo was pushed to the sofa by Zhang Ningxi's mother, and then he went about his own business and went to the second floor to collect the dishes.
"Ning Xi, auntie is so enthusiastic."
"Of course she is enthusiastic. She wants to marry me right away."
"Ahem, let's talk about uncle. I didn't see uncle coming down when we were eating. What's the reason?"
"It's a long story. About a year ago, my father was the president of the company. My father and several business partners were invited to go to the south to inspect some projects. This inspection took a total of two days.
For months, I don’t know what happened, but since he came back from the south, he has not mentioned anything about the project inspection, and all the funds and contacts he had prepared have been put on hold, as if nothing had happened. The most important thing is
, he came back alone, and it was my driver who picked him up at the time, so I know this."
"Later, my father went to work as usual, and we didn't notice anything unusual at first, because my father usually had a lot of work, and the secretary usually took care of his life. Later, the secretary who was responsible for taking care of my father's life came to me specifically and told me about this
As time passed, I felt that my father's condition was getting worse and worse. Not only was his physical condition deteriorating, but he would also lose his temper for no apparent reason when he was awake. Sometimes I would hear my father arguing with someone in the office, but when the secretary came in, he found that
My father was the only one inside. At first, the secretary thought my father was making a phone call, but under normal circumstances, calls to the company are answered by the secretary first, and then the secretary chooses whether to transfer the call to my father."
"Until another time, when the secretary entered the office, he found that his father had dropped his cell phone on the ground. But as soon as he walked out, he heard another quarrel in the office. He quietly went to observe and found that his father was alone in the office.
He was walking around inside, as if he was quarreling or fighting with someone, but as soon as he pushed the door in, his father acted as if nothing had happened. Not only did he not realize that he was wrong, he would even scold the secretary, who was really doing it.
Not sure, so he told me the matter."
"This situation lasted until half a year ago. At that time, my father had handed over the company to me, not because he wanted to hand it over, but because he really had no other way. At that time, he was going crazy most of the time every day, except for my mother and
I didn’t recognize anyone. Of course, the form of his madness also changed. Sometimes he was whispering alone in the corner, sometimes he made a lot of noise and smashed things, and sometimes he even made some weird things. I was in his room.
My mother and I didn’t dare to go up there except to deliver food.”
After Zhang Ningxi finished speaking, she saw her mother walking downstairs carrying dishes. She seemed to have been used to this kind of thing for a long time. When she saw Lin Mo looking at her, she nodded with a smile.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Mo told Zhang Ningxi's mother that she was actually a psychiatrist. She thought that Zhang Ningxi's father might have been stimulated during the inspection, so he could not find any abnormalities physically, but his behavior would be quite weird.
, and proposed to go upstairs to give Zhang Ningxi’s father a diagnosis and treatment. Zhang Ningxi’s mother did not refuse Lin Mo’s request, but just asked Lin Mo to be careful.
For Lin Mo's safety, at Zhang Ningxi's strong request, Lin Mo could only take the oil bottle to the second floor and walked to Zhang Ningxi's father's bedroom. Zhang Ningxi was about to knock on the door and enter, but Lin Mo stopped her with her hand.
Come down.
Lin Mo took out a small mirror from his pocket and stuck it directly on the door. When Zhang Ningxi was curious, she saw a picture appear in the mirror.
It was a room with all the curtains drawn and no lights on. The room was completely dark. Only a weak light came in from outside the curtains, and you could barely make out the general situation in the room. The bed was empty and you couldn't see it.
There were a lot of things scattered on the ground. I didn't know what they were. Lin Mo turned the mirror and found a black figure squatting in the corner of the room. It was difficult to see clearly whether the black figure was Zhang Ningxi's father.
"Ning Xi, look, is this right?"
"Yes, this is my father. I don't know what happened in the past two days. He has been squatting in that corner, as if he was doing something but not letting anyone see him. Whenever he got close, he would hit us with something. We always put our food on the table.
At the door, he will come and eat by himself. After finishing the meal, we can just put away the dishes."
Lin Mo nodded, asked Zhang Ningxi to step aside, opened the door and walked in.
The sound of opening the door seemed to disturb the person hiding in the corner. The moment Lin Mo stepped into the door with his right foot, the person squatting in the corner immediately turned to look at Lin Mo. He was wearing black pajamas, messy hair, and a pair of faint green pants.
His eyes were fixed on Lin Mo's foot that stepped into the room. Lin Mo didn't move. He wanted to see what the other person's reaction would be.
Lin Mo didn't move, and the man didn't move either. He just squatted there, covering something with his hands, head tilted and staring at Lin Mo's feet. Time fell into a stagnant state. Zhang Ningxi, who was beside him, held his breath nervously.
She covered her mouth, afraid that she would scream and attract her mother's attention.
As time passed by, Lin Mo knew that although Zhang Ningxi's mother was downstairs, she was still paying attention to what was going on upstairs. He made a silent gesture to Zhang Ningxi, entered the room in a flash, and closed the door.
, leaving Zhang Ningxi outside.
Lin Mo didn't move after entering the room. He wanted to test whether the person had such a big reaction because of himself or because of the light.
After a few seconds of silence in the room, the man did not move, and the pair of green eyes disappeared, as if everything just now was Lin Mo's illusion, and then there was a rustling sound in the corner of the room, as if many small things were coming.
Crawling, Lin Mo restrained his breath and walked gently towards the corner. He wanted to see what happened to Zhang Ningxi's father.
The figure in the corner seemed unaware of Lin Mo's approach and remained motionless. However, Lin Mo listened carefully. As he approached, the rustling sound became louder and louder, making people's scalp numb. Lin Mo listened carefully.
Through the moonlight, Mo could barely see the corner of the wall in front of Zhang Ningxi's father, which was blocked by his body. It seemed that something was constantly moving. The room was too dark, and Lin Mo couldn't see clearly what it was, but he couldn't see it.
Dare to take action easily, for fear of triggering those things and causing irreversible consequences.
At this time, Lin Mo noticed the moonlight. Although the curtains were tightly blocked, because the curtains did not block all the moonlight, there was some light in the room.
Aren't those things afraid of the moonlight?
After thinking about it, he tried it. Lin Mo took out a mirror, put it under a ray of moonlight, and adjusted the angle to direct the light to that corner.
Then Lin Mo saw a scene that made people feel numb. He saw that the corner of the wall was densely packed with insects. Zhang Ningxi's father's hand was placed in the center of the pile of insects, and insects kept crawling on Zhang Ningxi's father's arms.
Climbing down, I don’t know what I’m doing.
Lin Mo suppressed his nausea and stared at the corner. Soon he found that the bug crawled out from Zhang Ningxi's father's body. The pajamas were relatively wide, so it was not clear where it crawled out, which made it difficult to identify the bug.
The approximate number, but the thought of having so many bugs in one person's body is very disgusting.
When Lin Mo saw this, he roughly understood what was going on, but the decision could not be made by him. He stepped back to the door step by step and quickly darted out of the room.
"Lin Mo, how is my father?" Zhang Ningxi asked eagerly when she saw Lin Mo coming out.
"Oh, let's talk about it later. Your mother needs to know about this matter. As for how to decide, it depends on your wishes."
Zhang Ningxi was stunned for a long time before following Lin Mo downstairs step by step. She had a bad feeling...
