You Ming Aesthetics

Chapter 10

Luo Beisheng's original intention was to tell Yan Shan that there were some ancient books that he might be interested in where he lived. I found the crux of the problem that had been bothering me before, and I couldn't figure it out. This discovery made Yan Shan very excited.

The villa seemed to be normal and nothing unusual, but Lin Wei said that he couldn’t feel at ease staying in the house. If it wasn’t for his groundless rumors, it could be seen that there was indeed something wrong with the house. Lin Wei only thought of inviting Yan Shan in private Come forward to help solve it, because of this, it seems that this seemingly normal appearance is extraordinarily weird.

Yan Shan secretly recorded a video about going home to study the Feng Shui of the house, and was found in a frame of the video, in which there was a strange phantom peeping out behind the curtain on the second floor. The object of peeping was probably Yan Shan who was walking on the sidewalk outside the window at that time.

The blurry shadow that was accidentally photographed, and it was impossible to distinguish whether it was a living person or a spirit body, disappeared out of thin air when Yan Shan came to check the door the next day.

The corners of Yan Shan's mouth turned up ferociously, and he sneered a few times, thinking that this time I know where you are hiding.

It turns out that you hid in the basement, it's your fate.

Yan Shan thought to himself that I was careless last time and let you escape, but next time you won't have to hide.

He sharpened his knife in his heart, slapped the book in his hand on the shelf in front of him, clenched his fists and squeezed his joints, intending to pull this phantom, no matter what it was, from the corner where it was hiding Get a fat beating.

Taking advantage of no one paying attention to him, he didn't hold back, a sinister smile happily appeared on his face, and his mind was full of "see how I can deal with you".

There are many books on display in the library. Over time, there is a lingering smell of ink. Because the books in the ancient books reading room are read in a small amount, there are few editions on the market, and the publishing houses do not update frequently. Most of them are not newly published. Many books have been stored for a longer period of time than those in other areas, so the ancient books room has a bit of an old and mildewy smell, but it is not pungent or annoying, it is the precipitation of time. The scent of books that gradually became corrupt in the middle of the night.

Yan Shan likes the smell here very much, being in it, one can't help but feel peaceful and calm.

The bookshelves in front of you are all the books written by the ancient sages, or reviewing music and discussing rites, each expressing his own opinion, or recording folk customs, and the various conditions of the market, reading them is like being unknowingly cast a spell between the lines, turning the impetuousness of today's generation feeling isolated.

The sunlight shines into the room through the lush broad-leaved tree canopy in front of the window, and falls on the ground to form bright spots. Not far away, the cicadas sing one after another, continuously.

Yan Shan felt that his heart, which was agitated by the phantom, gradually calmed down, and finally calmed down.

He quietly looked at the rows of titles on the shelf again. The collection reference number was marked with a red frame label at the bottom of each book spine, which was carefully pasted by the staff.

Not long after, Luo Beisheng ran in in a hurry, raised the book in his hand to indicate that he had picked out the books he needed for his thesis.

Yan Shan whispered: "Then let's go first, I have something to do in the afternoon, how about going to dinner now?"

Luo Beisheng thought for a while and had no objection.So the two went to the self-service borrowing desk to swipe their borrowing cards, scanned the barcode on the book, took the receipt that the machine spit out, put it in the book, and came out of the library.

After they walked towards the school gate for a while, Luo Beisheng's cell phone rang. He picked up the phone and heard the other party say a few words, and replied: "I'm at the school gate, you have to come over quickly."

Luo Beisheng hung up the phone, turned to Yan Shan and said, "Wait for someone, say a few words."

Yan Shan nodded, and together with Luo Beisheng, they found a seat made of wooden strips for people to rest in the shade under the big tree near the school gate, and waited for the person to come.

A few minutes later, a very tall boy came up to him, greeted Luo Beisheng, and said, "Deputy Minister, I'm not very comfortable. I might not go to training at night."

Although the boy was tall and strong, his arms were full of muscles, and he looked like he was playing basketball, but his complexion was not very good, and he looked sick.

The boy touched his nose, and then said in a muffled voice, "Xiao Liu said, if I want to ask for leave again, I have to come to you directly, so I'm here."

He was Wang Lei who asked Xiao Liu to ask for leave before and missed the physical training. Luo Beisheng couldn't help being stunned when he saw his gray face. At first, Luo Beisheng thought that Wang Lei didn't come to the training. I didn't expect him to be really sick.

Luo Beisheng frowned, and asked worriedly: "I saw you were fine two days ago, why did you suddenly get sick?"

Wang Lei scratched his head, and said in a rough voice, "I don't know, I went to have a meal last night, and I was still feeling uncomfortable when I came back."

Luo Beisheng asked again: "Did you go to the infirmary? What did the doctor say?"

Wang Lei replied: "The two hundred and five didn't see the reason, so he said that I had a bad stomach. But the other people who ate together are fine, only I have something wrong, probably it has nothing to do with the meal."

Luo Beisheng was really anxious when he heard that, and said, "I'll accompany you to the hospital this afternoon. We're going to compete soon, so we need to recover quickly. Otherwise, how would you play this year?"

Wang Lei himself was also anxious: "Yeah, I was also pointing to the extra points in this competition to apply for a scholarship."

Yan Shan listened to the two of them talking silently, while calmly looking at the 1.9-meter-long boy in front of him.

Yan Shan's mind turned, and he suddenly asked: "What time did you go back to the dormitory after eating that day?"

Wang Lei looked at Yan Shan in surprise. He didn't know this person, but the other party was with Luo Beisheng. He should be an acquaintance of the deputy minister. Although he didn't know what the question was about, it seemed that Luo Beisheng He also quickly replied with a face: "We went to drink very late, and it was about twelve o'clock, so we will go back around this time."

After hearing this, Yan Shan understood, he almost already knew what was going on, but he had never met this boy before, so it was hard to directly explain the reason, not to mention that even if he was willing to tell others, he might not believe it.

Yan Shan didn't intend to say anything more, and said a few words of the scene implicitly: "Go back and have a rest, I wish you a speedy recovery."

Wang Lei didn't know the meaning of Yan Shan's inconsequential question just now, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it. After hearing this, he nodded to Yan Shan and thanked him rudely.

Luo Beisheng was anxious, he was not at ease, and said to Wang Lei: "There is no one in the hospital at noon, I will go to eat first, I will call you after dinner, and take you to the central hospital to register in the afternoon."

Wang Lei nodded, said goodbye in a muffled voice, and went back to the dormitory to lie down.

Today's meal was chosen by Luo Beisheng. Yan Shan was not very familiar with the university town, so Luo Beisheng found a small restaurant that was not very eye-catching.It's only 11:30, it's not even time for serious lunch, but the dining seats in the small restaurant are almost full with students, it seems that this restaurant is very popular with students.

Luo Beisheng and Yan Shan waited for a vacant seat with great difficulty, and they sat down. Yan Shan took out his wallet and put it on the table, saying that he had enough money, so don't worry, just take it easy.

Luo Beisheng smiled, he didn't need to look at the menu at all, he ordered a rice bowl with shredded pork in Beijing sauce, and strongly recommended Yan Shan to order the same one, saying that this was very delicious, so Yan Shan also ordered one.Afterwards, Luo Beisheng ordered another plate of fried beans and said that it was enough.

Luo Beisheng pointed in the direction of the back kitchen of the restaurant and said, "If you don't have enough rice, you can go to the back kitchen to add more food yourself. It's free."

Yan Shan was surprised: "So good?"

Luo Beisheng said: "If the business here is good, you won't be able to squeeze in after class is over, and you will be in line for half a day."

Yan Shan understood that Luo Beisheng chose this restaurant specially to save him money, and the money he spent was less than a fraction of the barbecue meal yesterday, so he felt a little sorry, and said: "You are saving money too much, just one There's not enough food."

Luo Beisheng smiled: "If it's not enough, order more. Didn't you educate me yesterday?"

Yan Shan was amused by him.

The waiter put all the dishes on the table, and the two of them buried their heads in eating. The dishes in this restaurant are very delicious, no wonder it was full.Now that get out of class is over, the store is crowded with students, and some people can't get in, so they have to wait outside the door for the kitchen to prepare and take away.

After eating for a while, Yan Shan hesitated, and said to Luo Beisheng: "I may know why the boy is uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Luo Beisheng put down his chopsticks, stared at Yan Shan and asked in surprise, "You know?"

Yan Shan nodded: "I declare first, I just said it casually, you listen to it casually, if you don't believe me, it's okay, just pretend you didn't hear me."

Luo Beisheng was confused by Yan Shan's words. He didn't know what Yan Shan meant. He looked at Yan Shan suspiciously and said, "Tell me, I believe it."

Yan Shan said: "I think the reason why the boy in your team felt unexplained discomfort was not the meal, but bumped into something when he returned to the dormitory after the meal."

When Luo Beisheng heard the word "hit", he subconsciously thought it was a car accident. Because of the accident last night, he was startled first, and then he thought about what Yan Shan said just now. It didn't seem like he was saying that Wang Lei was killed. People bumped into each other, Luo Beisheng looked like he didn't understand, and said, "What did you say?"

Yan Shan was helpless, but still suppressed the sentence "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything".

He patiently explained to Luo Beisheng: "Maybe I encountered something unclean, wandering around outside at night."

Luo Beisheng understood this time, and he was full of surprise: "You understand this?"

Yan Shan hesitated for a moment, and said, "The elders in the family mentioned it, so I know something about it."

Yan Shan has already regarded Luo Beisheng as his good friend and is willing to help him. He continued: "You should take him to the hospital to register first in the afternoon. If the doctor still can't see what's wrong, maybe It’s just that I met something unclean that night, I probably know what to do about it, and it will be fine.”

Luo Beisheng saw that Yan Shan was serious about what he said. Even though he had rarely heard about it and didn't understand it, since Yan Shan was serious and not joking, he believed Yan Shan.

Luo Beisheng thought for a while and said: "If the doctor is not strong enough, I will trouble you, and I can relax."

Yan Shan said confidently: "Well, if the doctor can't do it, just leave it to me."

Luo Beisheng looked at Yan Shan with admiration: "You are amazing! You know so much!"

Yan Shan cunningly perfunctory said: "Occasionally, I heard a few words from the elders, and they especially believe it."

After the two of them finished their meal, they each went about their own business.

Luo Beisheng went to look for Wang Lei in the dormitory, while Yan Shan stopped a car on the side of the street and went straight to the villa in the southern suburbs. The taxi drove through the downtown area. Yan Shan leaned his head on the window and looked at the shopping plaza outside. , suddenly thought of something, changed his mind, and asked the driver to pull over.

Yan Shan entered the shopping mall, found the children's clothing section on the fifth floor, bought two pieces of children's clothes, went to the supermarket on the basement floor to get a few packs of candy, put them in bags, got into the car again, and asked the driver all the way Drive to the gate of the villa area.

Yan Shan was not in a hurry to go to Lin Wei's house, he went to the woods last time to look for the child who was beaten by Sanxian.

Yan Shan walked around the forest a few times, but he didn't see the child hiding behind any tree like last time. He thought the child had left the forest, when suddenly there was a sound not far away, and a peach fell and hit the grass inside.Yan Shan looked up and saw the child sitting on the branch, staring at him. It seemed that he had accidentally dropped the peach while he was holding it.Yan Shan smiled and waved at the child, signaling him to come down.The child hesitated for a while when he saw this, but slowly climbed down from the tree.

As soon as the child landed on the ground, he was not in a hurry to pick up the peaches he had just dropped, and he was the same as before, hiding behind the tree trunk and secretly staring at Yan Shan.

Yan Shan walked in, squatted down gently, the child did not shrink back this time, he stared at Yan Shan with big eyes.Seeing that he still had the same clothes as before, with dried blood on the sleeves, Yan Shan took out the clothes he had just bought from the bag, compared them to the child, and found that they fit well.

So Yan Shan pulled off the label, handed the clothes to the child, and said, "Your clothes are dirty, I bought you new ones, change them."

The child slowly reached out to take the clothes, and the whole person was dumbfounded, not knowing whether he understood or not.

Yan Shan opened the bag in front of the child, revealing the candy inside, and said softly to the child, "This is a thank you gift for accepting peaches last time."

After finishing speaking, he put the bag at the child's feet, and said with a smile: "Then I'll go first, and I'll come to see you when I'm free."

The child seemed to understand this time, he lowered his head to pick up the peaches that had just fallen in the grass, held them in his small hands and handed them to Yan Shan, meaning "here you are".

Yan Shan bent down to take the peaches from the child, said thank you with a smile, waved at the child, turned and left.

Yan Shan walked out of the grass, turned back to the sidewalk, put the peaches in his bag, then his face darkened, and he ran towards Villa No. 15, Building A with a murderous look.

Standing outside the gate of the villa, Yan Shan took out the key from his backpack, unscrewed the door and went in directly.He changed the indoor slippers in the entrance, and walked in without rushing in. Yan Shan found that he still couldn't feel the strange sense of depression when there was something in the room.

Yan Shanxin said, could it be that something in the basement is so powerful that it can completely cover up my aura so that I can't even detect its existence?

Anyway, go and see first.

It took a lot of effort for Yan Shan to find the hidden door leading to the basement. He entered the basement, turned on the light, and looked around by the light.

Lin Wei arranged this place as a home theater, with screens covering the entire wall, stereo surround sound, and a large sofa bed. He also opened one of the rooms as a wine cellar, and the latticed wooden shelves were filled with Various wines.

Lin Wei seems to particularly like drinking wine.

Yan Shan carefully inspected all the corners of the entire space, and really found a dark lump of something that I don't know what it was huddled in the corner of the wine cellar.

He sneered, thinking that he found you.

Without further ado, Yan Shan walked quickly to the thing, and suddenly started to grab it, but he didn't expect that the thing was like a piece of jelly, very slippery, and he couldn't catch it at all.Yan Shan didn't pay attention, and took off his hand in an instant without pulling tightly.The thing was originally nestled in the corner of the wall, but when Yan Shan grabbed it, it was frightened at first, and suddenly bounced on the spot with considerable force, hitting the ceiling all at once, sticking there like a piece of chewing gum , Yan Shan stood at the bottom and raised his neck to stare at the black shadow, seeing that it didn't fall off by itself for a long time, and refused to move its nest as if it had grown there.

Yan Shan tried to raise his hand and jumped a few times on the spot, but found that he couldn't reach the black shadow stuck on the roof by jumping up, so he turned back upstairs, went to the balcony to find a drying rack, and returned to the original place to face it. He kept poking at the lump that was tightly attached to the ceiling, and finally the thing couldn't bear the stabbing by Yan Shan, and it shrank and fell back to the ground, where it bounced a few times and stopped moving.

Yan Shan was afraid that it would run away again, so he stepped on it and pressed the thing firmly to the ground.Yan Shan bent down to study this lump of blackness carefully, and didn't know what it was, so he sat down on it very simply, like a little hooligan flirting with a young girl, facing the lump of jelly He moved his hands up and down, pinched here, poked there, and found that this thing in front of him was something he had never seen before.

Yan Shan felt as if he was sitting on a very elastic cushion. He freed his hand and took out his mobile phone from his pocket, logged on to the website in the circle, and found the online version of "The Illustrated Book of Monsters".Yan Shan stretched out his hand and twisted the part of the guy under his buttocks that looked like his head, making it turn to face him, frowning and looking at him a few times, while flipping through the illustration book on his phone, and comparing it repeatedly with the photos on it.

This posture is not so much an appraisal, it is more appropriate to say that it is ravaged/ravaged.

The little monster was tossed by Yan Shan, and he lay on the ground pitifully and wiped his tears.

Finally, Yan Shan finally confirmed what he caught, which was called clay jelly.

It is written in the illustrated book: Clay freezes, likes to stay in damp and dark corners, especially in places such as storage room basements, non-toxic and harmless, naturally timid, smooth and elastic skin, can be attached to the wall, not edible.

How to deal with it: Treat it like a mushroom growing in the corner and ignore it.

Yan Shan watched it over and over several times, and he stared at the Clay Jelly who was being pressed under his buttocks and still crying with a little disappointment.

Yan Shan stood up and saw the little monster crouching in the corner like a frightened hamster crying, and felt that what he had just done seemed a little too much.

He scratched his hair, not knowing what to do with the situation in front of him. Yan Shan coughed, trying to comfort the little monster he had bullied so badly, he opened his mouth thinking about it, and said habitually: "I didn't mean it!" Yes, don't cry."

As soon as Yan Shan finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and the little monster stared at his small eyes to stop his sobs, and was stunned on the spot after hearing this.

little monster:"…………"

Yan Shan: "..."

As soon as he said this, even himself fell silent...

Yan Shan stared at the little monster speechlessly, realizing that he had said the wrong thing out of nowhere, and was very embarrassed for a while.

So Yan Shan had no choice but to say again: "Just pretend I didn't say what I just said."

Clay Jelly shrank into the corner again, feeling even more sad.

Yan Shan got closer, raised his hand and gestured at the little monster, thinking that this lump might not be able to reach the window sill even by stepping on a bench.

So it shouldn't be the one peeping from the edge of the curtain.

There was indeed something in the basement, but it wasn't making the mess.

Yan Shan let out a particularly decadent sigh.

All the mysteries in the villa have returned to the original point.

He still didn't know what the phantom in the photo was.
