Chapter 62
I silently thought about it for a while and felt that the cripple should be a person. Because at that time in the old mansion when we first discovered his movements, the human face tree in the yard had just subsided, the power of the human face tree I had learned, if he was a ghost, we could immediately realize it. And Ding Ding also said then that there was nothing unclean in the house.
However, I felt that my guess was too generalized, because the night of the Night of the Hundred Ghosts, there were ghosts and monsters everywhere in the yard and on the street, but the Tree of Faces didn't work at all, I don't know whether it was because of what my mother did in advance or because of the so-called formation Ding Ding had set up before.
But the second time I met him in the wasteland, I felt that the man looked much older than in the photo, almost similar to Mrs. Nine, so from here, the man should be older as well. It just didn't seem like he'd lived a very nourishing life all these years.
But if he's really a person, that's where the problem comes in.
In the story Ding Ding told me about the Ninth Mistress at the beginning, his father was killed by a stern ghost that the Ninth Mistress was incapable of subduing at the time. And he himself said that when he was a child, he saw his father come back to life during the ghost festival.
This man's situation almost matched the one in Tintin's description. If he was really Tintin's father, then why did Tintin tell me such a bizarre story? What was his purpose in doing so? Why hide the fact that his father is still alive in this world after all these years?
In addition, on Lin Tian's side, even Lin Tian's mom's tone was strangely consistent, and they both flatly asserted that Ding Ding's father was no longer in the world.
I guessed in my heart, perhaps there are two people who look exactly the same, they are brothers may also say, but a thought of two people can not be at the same time are broken legs so coincidentally, so the possibility of this idea is very small, so small that even I feel untenable.
I consider half a day, still can not think of a clue, want to understand these things, can only ask now still alive when it is people. For example, Lin Tian's parents, there was no hope on Mrs. Nine's side, I didn't even know if she was alive or dead now.
Coupled with the fact that the nearby neighbors all said in the same breath that they hadn't existed, as if they had disappeared from this world out of thin air, I had no clue how to find out about her.
I stared at the picture for a long time, and in the end, I could only sigh and save the figure properly. Only then did I turn my head to Lu Yao and say, now the time is also late, why don't we put our luggage to my house first, and then go out for dinner, otherwise it's not good to come back at night when the commotion is too loud and noisy to the neighbors.
Lu Yao nodded and said with a smile that it would be fine.
The two of us did not say anything, this is each on the car, I lead the way in the front, she followed in the back, after a while, before arriving at my rental house downstairs.
The alley had chilled out, and I got out of the car and glanced toward the upstairs, feeling like the last time I'd left until now, even though it had been a short period of time, the last few days alone had given the impression of being as long as a lifetime.
When we left the door locks hadn't even been repaired yet, we just left the door of the room ajar, and we didn't know if anything was missing.
Lu Yao was carrying her small bag of things as if she was going out on a trip, and it seemed very lightweight, completely different from the big bag I had.
It took me a lot of effort to take all of these things up, after all, my house is on the sixth floor, I don't want to run up and down a few times to get busy. But I had just gotten up three flights of stairs when I nearly collapsed from exhaustion. Carrying so many things, several times almost being yanked and rolled down the stairs, this is really not a human thing to do ah ……
Lu Yao walked behind me, occasionally reaching out to push me, urging, Why are you so stupid, going up a flight of stairs is so slow.
I was so tired and out of breath that I said, "Big sister, if you don't want to help, don't say anything. This is called standing and talking without a pain in the ass.
Lu Yao hemmed and hawed, but still refused to help me, I guess in my heart I also know that I am tired, but I just can't help but make a few snide remarks.
It was not easy for us to go up to the sixth floor, I turned my head to look, and found that the door of the room was still closed, and I couldn't help but say that it was okay, it was okay, and I guess it wasn't burglarized.
But I was just about to walk to the door, the opposite family's door suddenly opened. I looked inside out three or four people, and I'm like a big bag holding things, like moving like, headed by a man with a bald patch on his forehead, with both sides of the hair barely cover some of the back of the front of the several people, said you don't intervene, we're discussing a good discussion, you see me to give you three months of rent free how about it?
I looked carefully, this bald man is not my landlord well, usually out of the rent even people can not see, dragged like two and a half million, now how to beg others to rent his room. Also give such a big benefit, to know three months of rent are enough for me to buy a good cell phone.
I am feeling strange it, is a silly look at the side did not make a sound, but the next door neighbors this has seen me, they would have liked to and the landlord on a few words, but once I saw me standing there, suddenly all do not make a sound, a motionless look at me.
The landlord to see their expression strange, frowned, only along with their gaze toward me, a see is me, earlier still a groveling look, suddenly two eyes a cross, suddenly angry, pointing at me on the curse, I say you kid, I good intentions with so cheap house price rent house for you to live, how do you do not learn ah, where you go to get into trouble for me to get out of these troubles ah!
I was scolded by him, and then also fire, drank what I did!
He looked distressed, said you still ask me, alone these two days I have returned seven rooms! Together with this one, there are eight! You say you can afford me!
I smiled coldly and said, "It's none of my business if people check out, I didn't ask them to check out!
The landlord was so angry that his hands were shaking, pointing at me to scold what, but did not say, pointing at me again, or not a word.
I look at him like this, heart a little funny. I was going to listen to his explanation, he suddenly said, "You know what everyone says! Everyone says that this place is haunted, you live in this house, either hear something loud, or always see some ghosts walking around. Scared people are on edge, who dares to live here!
I froze on hearing this, looking at his panicked appearance, not like a lie, could not help but and Lu Yao looked at each other, Lu Yao heard this, obviously also a little scared, involuntarily took a step back.
I swallowed my saliva, put on an expression of not knowing anything, said You can not be a bloody mouth ah, these things, I have not even heard of, and I went back to my hometown in the past few days, did not live here at all, and what has to do with me!
He said, you live alone in this house, if you do not know what you do Mingtang, how could this be! I let a few bold people go in to take a look, fucking all scared away, and do not know what in the end there is something inside!
I see that he bit me not to let go, and it is indeed my reason is right, itself is not reasonable, also do not want and he in the defense of what. Ding Ding once said that I stayed for a long time in the place will attract ghosts to come because of the ghost gas is too heavy, but I did not expect that I have left for a period of time this house is still so unlucky.
I walked straight to the door, looked at the landlord for a second and said you get out of the way!
He looked at me contemptuously, did not say anything, but still removed his footsteps from the door.
I just came back to be so scolded face to face, hold a fire in my heart, a foot to kick the door of the room open. There was no light inside, it was dark, but the temperature dropped a lot. It is estimated that some dirty things do hide inside.
The landlord and the family next door saw me open the door, whoosh a panic all hid in the house, only probing out to look at my every move.
I gave them a blank look, signaling Lu Yao to wait for me at the door, don't follow me in, I'll take a look at the situation.
She understood in her heart and stood outside the door without coming over. I groped my way into the room and reached out towards the light switch on the wall. But after touching it for a while, I didn't know where the switch was located.
My heart is strange, two hands lying on the wall groping, suddenly touched a piece of furry things, I touched, that thing suddenly shrinking, I was also startled, softly called out, who knows hear my voice, the landlord and the next door to the family are a ghostly howl, as if encountered that strange thing is them, I and Lu Yao were almost by their voice scared to break down.
Seeing their startled appearance, I cursed, which brought me back to my senses, and continued to feel towards the switch, finally finding that familiar touch, and clicked the light on.
The room instantly lit up, but this time I immediately regretted it!
I just turned my head to look, and found that on the wall in front of me, lying on a furry unknown thing, two eyes are very large, as if an insect's compound eyes a glance, which reflected my countless shadows. Its head and I and stick together, the two of us are completely wide-eyed staring at small eyes.
I froze for a long time, did not dare to move, with the corner of my eye swept towards the rest of the room, and found that in my house, on the ceiling, on the floor, on the wall, even on the sofa and table, there are some gray ghosts everywhere, the appearance of different sizes, and I'm now surrounded in the middle of them, and each of them are all looking at me motionlessly!
Cold sweat broke out on my forehead. Lu Yao stood in the doorway and shouted at me, asking Tan Xi, is everything alright inside.
I didn't have the heart to answer her, and subconsciously reached out to the wall and pressed it again, snapping the lights off!
The room was suddenly dark again, I a moment to adapt to not come, in front of me are dark, but can not see those ghosts and monsters, may be the role of the heart, as if self-congratulation like the feeling of out of sight, out of mind ……
