The wind outside the window is up at some point.

Whistling, one after another, the sound was like a winter northwest wind, which rattled the window, and then came in through the crack, pushing the mirror in front of me slightly.

It was so dizzy that he couldn't help but rub his eyes vigorously, and when he looked up in the mirror again, he found that the face in his pupils was gone, to be exact, the small but delicate face was gone. Instead, it was my own face, with indescribable trepidation and doubt, looking at myself through the mirror.

'Knock knock!'

At the same time, there was a sudden knock on the door from behind me, one after another, which made my heart tighten. I immediately turned around vigilantly and asked, 'Who?', but I was afraid that it would be another delusion, so I didn't dare to amplify my voice. The outsider did not hear it, and after a moment's pause, he knocked on the door again, and slapped it twice.

"Who?" I asked, raising my voice.

"Little sister, are you there?" The outsider heard it, stopped what he was doing and responded: "I'm Liu Suzhen from 501." ”

The old voice slowly relieved me.

Yi immediately put down the mop handle he had just grabbed in his hand, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead vigorously, and turned around and walked briskly in the direction of the door: "Wait a minute, Grandma Liu, I'll be here soon." ”

Liu Suzhen of 501 is the old lady I met on the fifth floor yesterday.

I've been here for so long, and apart from that one meeting, I've never had anything to do with her. But somehow this time she suddenly came to knock on my door, and when I opened the door to invite her in, she stood in front of the door and hesitated for a while, and then looked east and west, and walked into the house with a little heart.

"Are you alright?" After a while, she finally stopped looking at her surroundings like a searchlight, and she asked me a little inexplicably.

I was stunned and nodded.

"I heard you come back during lunch, usually, as soon as you come back, there will be music coming up, but today until now I haven't heard any movement in your house, not even the sound of walking, I feel a little uneasy, so come down and take a look." ”

Her words made me stunned again.

Unexpectedly, although they have never had any contact with each other, they have been subconsciously noticed and cared for by others, and I couldn't help but be a little moved, I smiled and explained: "I got up early today and was a little tired, so I went to bed and took a nap when I came back." ”

"Oh, that's it......" She nodded: "I went to the hospital to see your classmate, right?" I heard 301 Zhang's mother say that your classmate was sent to the hospital for a sudden illness, I don't know how she ......is now" As soon as she said this, she happened to look up and see my face, her face immediately changed, and she stopped talking and looked at my eyes carefully.

After a while, he took a breath and muttered, "Little sister...... Why are your eyes so bloodshot......"

With that, I felt a sudden pain in my right eyeball again.

Hurriedly rubbed the edge of his eye socket, lowered his eyes to avoid her staring gaze, and shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't know, it's like this when I wake up, maybe I haven't rested well in the past few days." ”

"No wonder the face is not right. So, I have to go to the hospital quickly...... You see, there is blood in the whole eyeball, it must not be as simple as not resting well, it hurts or not, don't it be infected......"

"Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it doesn't, it shouldn't be an infection, but I'm going to go to the hospital later. ”

"Yes, it's good to see it early, and it's okay to rest assured. After that, she remembered what she hadn't said before, and she continued: "By the way, I just talked about your classmate, how is she now, is she feeling better?"

Hearing her mention Lao Zhang again, I couldn't help but redden.

I didn't say anything for a long time, until the instantaneous sourness in my throat slowly faded, I inhaled and replied slowly: "She went to ...... this morning."

"What??" the old lady looked at me with wide eyes and pointed to her ear, "I don't understand...... What do you think happened to her this morning??"

“...... Grandma, my classmate passed away and couldn't be rescued this morning...... Passed away......"

“...... Be...... Is it ......" This time she finally understood completely, her thin body shook slightly, and then she looked up at me stunned for a while, and muttered, "It's only in your early twenties...... What kind of problem can't be saved......"

I don't know how to answer this question.

Seeing this, she didn't continue to ask any more questions, but while pacing slowly in the room with her hands on her back, she raised her head from time to time, and she didn't know whether she was looking at the furnishings in the room, or the yellowish and old walls and ceilings around the room.

"There's a saying I don't know whether to say or not. After a while, she sighed lightly, turned her head to look at me, and said, "Actually, I came to your house mainly to tell you about this." ”

"What's the matter, Grandma?" I was a little apprehensive by the hesitation and paleness on her face as she spoke.

"Actually, when you first moved here, I wanted to find a chance to talk to you, but I was afraid that you would be surprised, so I never knew how to speak. Besides, your landlord has always been very polite, and often comes to send this and that......" Speaking of this, I don't know if she heard something or something, she suddenly raised her head to look at the ceiling, and didn't see anything for a while, so she took a light breath, opened a pair of slightly cloudy eyes, looked at me and said, "Little sister, can you tell Grandma Sù first, what did you do when you ran to 502 yesterday?"

"This ......" I was at a loss again, because the answer was so hard to say.

Seeing this, she seemed to feel something, stretched her neck forward slightly, raised her hand and pulled out a necklace strung with black beads from the collar, and twisted it in the palm of her hand: "To be honest, I watched you at the door of the house for about a minute or two at that time, and I was really a little frightened by you, because for so long, since the iron door was locked, I have never seen anyone open it, let alone walk in." And...... It's as if you've seen someone in 502, and you're tapping the door of that house......"

As she spoke, she glanced at the pupil of my right eye again, and seeing that I had listened quietly without saying anything, she brought the necklace in her hand close to me and pointed at it, "Do you know what this is?"

I looked at the dark, dark-spotted necklace and shook my head.

"This is Bodhi, the authentic Bodhi, and I haven't been here since the day I moved here. ”

"Have you ever used it for light protection?"

"You get the idea. She smiled when she heard this, put away her necklace and nodded: "I believe in Buddhism, a lay disciple in the temple, this is a master who practices in the Jade Buddha Temple." As you get older, your body is getting weaker and weaker over the years, and you inevitably need something to protect you, unlike you who are young and young, and you can't feel anything even when you stand in the yin. But even so, I still have to advise you, old woman, the rent is expensive elsewhere, and it is always a good Yangju house, not better than here, staying for a long time, it's really not good...... It's better to move as soon as possible, look at the two of you, you were so active when you first moved here, what about now...... One is so young that it's gone, and the other has such an ugly face, and it's really worse than the face of an old woman like me......"

“...... I know, Grandma, so I'm going to move. ”

"yes, then I'm relieved. Amitabha, this house really can't be rented out anymore, and the old criminals are really doing evil, for the sake of this thousand yuan a month, ......" Speaking of this, Xu felt that he was talking a little too explicitly, the old lady pursed her lips and smiled at me a little embarrassedly: "When I'm old, I can't control my mouth and talk nonsense all day long." In short, you can move as soon as possible, lest you be like the child who lived here before, who ...... at a young age" Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly paused, pulled her collar and shivered slightly.

"What's the matter?" I blurted out.

She frowned, and stopped talking.

After a while, he saw that I wanted to ask again, so he lowered his head and waved his hand at me gently: "Anyway, let's move quickly, little sister, this kind of place is just like us, who have already stepped into the coffin, and we can live in peace, Amitabha...... Amitabha ......" muttered as she turned around and walked out of the door.

Seeing that she just dropped half of her words and left, I hurriedly followed, unable to hold back the words that were about to come out of my throat, and asked: "Grandma, do you mean that the aunt on the third floor mentioned it, the girl who committed suicide by turning on the gas?"

She was stunned when she heard this, and nodded: "Yes." Then she glanced back at me and added, "She didn't kill herself, though." ”

“...... He killed?"

"It's not good to say that......"

Her words made me more and more confused: "What the hell is ...... that?"

"What about this...... "The old lady's expression looked a little speechless. She always looked at the room behind me while looking at me, and intuitively felt that she had a kind of taboo against my house, and although she behaved in a similar way, she never told her what was taboo. "Speaking of which, her death at that time had nothing to do with this house," she replied after a moment. So even if she turned on the gas herself, it can't be said to be a suicide. ”

“...... What's the relationship?"

Seeing that I had a tendency to refuse to stop without asking, Mrs. Liu sighed softly, and did not continue to go up the stairs, perhaps out of the relationship between the gate of my house, and the expression on her face was no longer as cramped and uneasy as when she stayed in the house before, so she leaned on the handrail of the stairs, and she felt the necklace in the collar again, and slowly twisted two handfuls. Then he smiled bitterly and said:

"Because she was killed by my daughter Kiki, in this house. ”。
