Chapter Twenty-Nine: Looking at each other

Because of his work, Luo Qiu's father settled in the city where he lived early, but at the same time, due to the residual system of some towns and the unclear countryside, Luo Qiu's family house in his hometown has always been there. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It's a rather old brick two-story hut with a simple cement plaster on the back and left, and a small square tile patch on one side of the façade.

Next to it are the kind of mud houses called Lao She, and the newly built houses in the village are on the other side of the village road opposite these old houses.

The young and the old, separated by the road of an era, not far, but facing each other.

The old man insisted on living in his old house.

It was early to late autumn and the weather was getting colder. Adults have no choice but to buy some small heaters, and they don't think that they can really drive away the cold, but they just think that it is a good thing to be able to drive away the moisture in the old house.

When Luo Qiu saw this grandmother, she was half-asleep and half-awake, drinking the rice soup fed by her relatives, which was what the old man could eat at the moment.

The one who feeds the old man should be Uncle Luoqiu's wife. The aunt said to the old man that Luo Qiu had returned.

The old man didn't react, but babbled and didn't know what to say, so he wanted to eat more.

Luo Qiu's cousin was smoking a cigarette outside the door of the room, looking very tired, "Luo Qiu, you also saw it, she doesn't recognize anyone now." The doctor said that there were not even a few days left, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, or even all of a sudden......"

He didn't say anything, but took a puff of the cigarette that had burned to the end, almost to the position of the filter, and then threw it down, then lit a new one, looked at Luo Qiu and said, "If you want to go in and meet, go in." If you're tired, you can rest first. ”

Luo Qiu nodded and walked into the room.

He called this grandmother Grandma Koharu...... The aunt gave him a place, and he took a look at the appearance of this Xiaochun grandmother.

The aunt wiped the corner of Grandma Koharu's mouth with a handkerchief, she wanted to eat, but it seemed difficult to swallow, "Alas, I actually had a gastrectomy a few years ago, and I originally thought that stomach cancer would be okay......?

Luo Qiu reached out and held Grandma Xiaochun's palm, it was as cold as a piece of ice, and even a little stiff, "Grandma Xiaochun, I'm Luo Qiu, do you remember me?"

The internal organs of the body have been weakened to the extreme, and the life span has truly come to an end...... The oil runs out and the lamp is dry, and the natural cycle is changing in this Koharu grandmother.

"She couldn't hear anything. Uncle Cousin's wife shook her head.

"I'll do it. Luo Qiu whispered, and brought the bowl of rice soup from her hand.

"Don't get you dirty, she'll throw up. The aunt whispered suddenly.

But Grandma Koharu was able to swallow it this time. One bite at a time, the look gradually became satisfied. The aunt watched this scene with amazement, and she couldn't remember how many times she hadn't seen the son of her husband's cousin.

Luo Zheng is also a very filial child, but he can't do this kind of kung fu. The aunt subconsciously compared the two children of the same generation.

This room seems to have become less dull before you know it...... Even though no one spoke, it just felt different.

It feels like some magical child...... The aunt thought subconsciously.

......

"It's too late, why don't you rest at my house tonight?"

After visiting for a while, the aunt pointed to the new house on the opposite side of the village road and said to Luoqiu: "Your house has not been lived in for a long time, and it is not good to clean up at night." It's not a long time these days, so you just just live at your aunt's house, your own family, how good it is to talk. ”

Luo Qiu glanced at the new house opposite, in fact, the lights were turned on early, and he could see people walking inside. I just didn't see anyone coming.

In this kind of village, every house closes at night, and the light inside the house is very bright, even illuminating the village road, but at the same time it is very quiet.

Even if there are watchdogs, the dogs are just wandering with their heads down, or squatting on the ground, not knowing what they are looking at.

In the countryside or in the elderly, dogs can see more with their eyes than people.

He said, "It's okay, I'll just play with it." ”

"Okay, if there's anything inconvenient, just come and knock on the door. Uncle Cousin nodded directly at this time, and then gave Luo Qiu a flashlight, "But the electric switch is broken, and it has never been repaired, so this electricity should not be used." If you have water, you should still be able to use it...... Or you might as well live at your uncle's house. ”

"I'm not afraid of the dark. Luo Qiu smiled.

"It's not the problem of black, it's the ......" The aunt wanted to speak and stopped, but was glared at by her cousin.

But the aunt's words were all on this, and the cousin could only stare at it, and said helplessly in front of Luo Qiu: "Your house is said to be a little unclean. ”

"It's not normal if I haven't lived in it for so long, so it's naturally not clean. Luo Qiu smiled.

"It's not this!" Uncle Cousin lowered his voice, "It's all said to be haunted!"

"Where is the switch? I kind of forgot. Luo Qiu suddenly asked.

Uncle Cousin was stunned, and the flashlight shone on, under the eaves of the house. Luo Qiu walked over, opened the cover, and pushed the electric switch up, and the small light bulb in front of the house lit up directly.

"Strange, this is obviously broken?" Uncle Cousin glanced at his wife in surprise, frowned, and said, "I've tried, but I can't beat it at all?"

Luo Qiu said: "If there is light, it should be clean." ”

"Okay then......" Uncle and Aunt didn't continue to force on.

In their opinion, a child like Luo Qiu, who grew up in a big city, naturally didn't believe anything...... Of course, they don't really have superstitions.

It's just that fear is innate, and as the days go by, there will always be taboo things...... Besides, the village is really quiet.

They quickly returned to Grandma Koharu's house, pushed the door and walked in, the steps were a little fast, and the speed of closing the door was also a little fast.

Luo Qiu shook his head, opened the door, and made a call to Ren Ziling.

Ren Ziling asked with concern: "How is it? Did those relatives of yours bully you? I remember that there is an uncle in your family, and he is very rude and speaks very ugly!"

Luo Qiu said: "What strange things have you made up in your brain?"

"Tsk, conscience is a dog's lungs. Ren Ziling muttered before saying, "By the way, what happened to that Xiaochun grandmother in my hometown?"

Luo Qiu opened the door and turned on the light and spoke: "It's almost, I heard that it's just the matter of the past two days." ”

"Life and death are impermanent. Ren Ziling sighed.

Luo Qiu said: "Why hasn't there been a power outage in the house here for so many years?"

Ren Ziling said casually: "Oh, when your father was still there, he was always paying the electricity bill. Anyway, there was no one to live in after that, and the electricity bill didn't cost much, so I didn't stop. Oh, have you eaten?"

"After eating, I'll mess with the room first, let's not talk about it. He said, looking at the ceiling above him.

Some very small voices were coming from upstairs...... The words of ordinary people are probably inaudible.

"Okay, you can do it yourself, I'll be working overtime for a while before leaving. ”

"Hmm...... Don't eat instant noodles. Luo Qiu finally said a word and turned off the phone.

Luo Qiu closed the door behind him, his eyes still fixed on the ceiling above...... Although the lights were turned on, there were a lot of cobwebs hanging in the house that had not been inhabited for a long time.

The entrance is to the living room, and next to the living room is the staircase up to the second floor.

When Luo Qiu climbed the stairs to the upper floor, he also turned on the lights in the corridor here.

There are only three rooms on the upper floor, one is the house of his grandparents who died young, one is where his father lived when he was a child, and one is for some miscellaneous items.

At the end is the utility room, and judging by the sound that can be heard downstairs, the location is in the room at the end.

Luo Qiu walked to the door of the utility room, put his hand on the lock of the room, and didn't seem to twist it, but stopped here.

I'm afraid that the light in this corridor has been useless for too long, perhaps because of the poor contact, at this time, it will flash and flicker, and it will not be suddenly cut off, but it will be bright and dim, and it will emit a sizzling electric sound.

After a while, Luo Qiu withdrew his hand, and did not go directly to open the door, but knocked lightly on the door—knock, knock.

Knock knock.

The lock of the door of the room suddenly twisted, and only a creak was heard, and a small crack opened in the door......
