Chapter 6: Xiaoya
"Lili, what the hell are you touching?" Ah A asked as she helped Kiki cut her hair.
"I don't know. ”
"I think it's a hand, the hand of a female ghost. Ah A speculated matter-of-factly, "It's soft and cold, oh my god, it's weird and scary." Lili, I think you better not live in that house, that house is not clean......"
"What nonsense are you talking about, A. Kiki interrupted Ah A and said.
"It's true, there's been a death in that room. Ah A said and lowered his voice, "You should know that." Speaking of which, it's also very strange that Miss Su came to me for a haircut a week before she died, and I really don't know why she committed suicide later. Ah A couldn't help but feel a little sad when he said.
"When?" asked Kiki curiously.
"About ...... Miss Su is a very nice person, she chats with us very happily every time she comes, and she doesn't look like the kind of person who will kill herself. I think there must be some grievances, so the house is always restless. To tell you the truth, we have colleagues here who have lived there before, and some strange things have happened since then. ”
"What's going on?" asked Kiki.
"Don't talk about that!" said Andy, who gave me a haircut, suddenly.
A nodded in agreement.
"What the hell is going on, let's hear it. Kiki seemed interested. Du Li was also very curious, but she didn't want to listen to it for a while, after all, the strange thing Ah A said happened where she lives now.
Ah A hesitated for a while: "Okay, anyway, Xiaoya won't do it here anymore, so I'll tell you." I said, don't be afraid later. ”
Two years ago, there was a new barber in the shop, and everyone called her Xiaoya, because she was small, her speech and demeanor were not light, and she gave people a very elegant feeling, so everyone called her that. As for her real name, everyone doesn't remember it, maybe never did.
Xiaoya originally lived in a very remote suburb, and she had to take the subway for two hours to work every day, so she always liked to hide in the rest room at noon, and sometimes she even forgot to eat lunch.
One day, the store manager persuaded her to rent a house nearby. Xiaoya said that she had such a plan, but the rent nearby was too expensive.
The store manager said that he could help her find a cheaper one, so Xiaoya moved to the room where Du Li was living now.
After that, Xiaoya's state at work every day was really much better, she rarely rested at noon, and she always worked overtime late at night. She said that she still has a sick father at home, and the monthly medical expenses are a lot of money, so she has to work harder.
"Xiaoya worked really hard at that time, and she was very talented, and she had the most regular customers at that time. But I am not jealous of her, but I sincerely admire her, and even had a crush on her for a while?"
"Ha......" Andy suddenly laughed, "A, do you like women too?"
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Ah A said urgently.
"yes, that's normal, A, don't pay attention to Andy, go on. Kiki urged.
But half a year later, Xiaoya suddenly seemed to be a different person, and the situation seemed to be back to the state before the move, or even worse. She went to work every day as if she couldn't give up, and once dyed a customer's hair wrong. The customer was going to dye it black, but it turned red.
"I think red goes well with him. Andy said, "When you're older, you look younger with a little more color." ”
"But that's not what customers want. A A said.
The store manager later scolded Xiaoya in front of the customer, and gave a free membership card to settle the matter. But afterwards, the situation did not improve.
One night, Ah A saw Xiao Ya crying alone in the rest room, and there were only two of them left in the store at that time, Ah A couldn't figure out what was going on, but he still felt that he should comfort Xiao Ya.
"Xiaoya, what's wrong with you?"
Xiaoya squatted there motionless with her knees hugged, just crying incessantly, and threw her phone on the floor in front of her.
"Xiaoya, are you okay?" Ah A asked, squat down and handed over a tissue.
"My dad is gone. Xiaoya cried.
After that, Xiaoya took two weeks off. At that time, everyone thought that Xiaoya's absence a while ago might be because of her father's affairs.
Two weeks later, Xiaoya returned to work, but her state remained unchanged. When the store manager is not there, she runs to the rest room to rest, and sometimes the customers wait for a long time and don't see her come out, and her regular customers become fewer and fewer. The store manager wanted to kick her away several times, and said in public that if Xiaoya was still half-dead, he would let her leave at most at the end of the month.
Ah A recalled that night when Xiaoya hugged her knees and cried, felt that she was very pitiful, and persuaded her many times to come out of the shadow of losing her relatives and face the next life positively. Every time, Xiaoya just smiled, as if she understood A's kindness, but she seemed powerless.
After that, everyone found that there was always some hair in the rest room, and sometimes they would accidentally get into the bowl while eating lunch there, which instantly made people lose their appetite. I thought someone had got the customer's hair cut into the rest room, but after cleaning it a few times, I still found some fish that slipped through the net.
About two or three weeks later, everyone discovered a fact that surprised everyone almost at the same time, Xiaoya's originally thick hair became very thin, as if it was thinned and thinned with scissors, but for barbers who have been in the business for many years, they clearly know that it is not the effect of thinning at all, but hair loss. At that time, everyone understood why there was always unclean hair in the rest room.
Ah A stopped for a long time when he said this, and he didn't seem to be ready to talk anymore.
"What happened later?" after a long time, Du Li suddenly asked.
Ah A sighed: "Alas, I really can't understand how Xiaoya could be like that." ”
After another week, Xiaoya's hair was gone, and the top of her head was completely bald. But she felt as if nothing had happened. The store manager couldn't tolerate her staying in the store anymore and fired her. She didn't care, she just left the store silently. At that time, everyone realized that it seemed that they hadn't heard Xiaoya speak for a long time, maybe she had forgotten how to say it, and all that was left was powerless laughter and silence.
"And then?" asked Kiki.
"After that, we never saw her again, and she moved away the day after she quit, and we don't know where she went. ”
