Chapter 360: The Gambler (6)
Early in the morning, I got up, cooked breakfast, and called Bai Xuanyi to enjoy the beautiful moment of the morning together. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info To be honest, in the days when Zhang Lin is not there, I am really a little bored, usually he is at home, and he will chat with me in a funny way. Although Bai Xuanzhi sometimes talks to me, I always feel that he is a little too serious, and he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous to annoy him.
After breakfast, I washed the dishes, dressed casually and went out.
On the street, red men and green women, dressed up, made up, and shouted. The neighborhood is all residential areas, and there are several families with small stalls on the sidewalk, and at a glance, it is crowded with people. However, in contrast, it is a different scene to bypass this street and turn into the alley, where few people walk, except for the occasional passer-by, who are not really alive.
Today's weather was good, not too sultry, and the wind was blowing. The green grass, the lush shade, the fresh morning, the different air. Several tall buildings in the vicinity have blessed the nearby community, forming a kind of natural shelter and giving the elderly in the neighborhood a place to enjoy the shade and chat. There are several forks in the road that lead to different streets or neighborhoods, but there is only one intersection that almost no one dares to take, and that is Taiping Road. Bai Xuanzhi and I walked like a walk, neither fast nor slow.
Standing not far from the Taiping intersection, there were a few pedestrians passing by, but they didn't mean to stop, and when they passed the Taiping intersection, they all walked by in a hurry, and they didn't look back, as if they were afraid of something. Perhaps they would have thought that if they stopped at the intersection for a moment, they would soon have a terrible face looking at them.
Bai Xuanzhi had a smile in his eyes, "Let's go over and take a look." "Just as I was about to approach that intersection, someone grabbed me by the collar from behind, and when I looked back, it turned out to be Aunt Lian upstairs. She pulled us aside with a look of trepidation, away from the intersection, and after stopping, she breathed a sigh of relief, and she looked vigilantly left and right, and after making sure that there were no suspicious signs, she slowly spoke: "You two don't want to die......?" It's not clean, don't be curious, don't go, there have been several deaths on that path, I heard ...... It's haunted! Don't go inside, be careful of bumping into bad luck. When she said this, her voice was very low, almost a whisper, as if she were afraid that a ghost inside might accidentally hear her, and she looked mysterious. "Aunt Lian, you just said that how many people have died?" I pointed in that direction, but Aunt Lian gently patted my elbow, "Don't point, be careful of offending people! Children are not sensible, please don't ......be surprised by the gods."
Aunt Lian seemed to be talking to herself, she looked at the time and shouted, "Oh, I have to go to the supermarket in a hurry to buy something, you two hurry home, don't wander around, there are a lot of bad people on the street." We nodded obediently.
Bai Xuanzhi took my hand and walked in the direction of home. Aunt Lian saw that we had gone far away, so this time she turned around and ran quickly in the direction of the station. I wanted to go back and see the situation, but I was persuaded by Bai Xuanzhi, "Don't look back, keep walking, walk slowly." "I didn't dare to obey, and walked slowly, like an old man with limited mobility staggering.
"Okay, let's go home again. After a while, I couldn't help but be patient and asked more. Bai Xuanzhi said happily: "Later, we will walk on the other side of the road, just like we usually walk, slow down when we reach the Taiping intersection, and flash in when we see no one, you know?" Bai Xuanzhi's idea is good, I strongly support it.
We also began to act, and when we got to the opposite side, we pretended to walk, and from time to time we glanced around casually, and we didn't see any acquaintances. Except for the men and women who walked by, they did not see any acquaintances in the community. Bai Xuanzhi and I looked at each other knowingly, and everyone understood.
People passing by didn't pay much attention to the two of us, often turned around and left, we stood quietly next to the Taiping intersection, looked around a few times, saw that no one was paying attention, and slipped into the path. This area is a temporary house, which has been abandoned for many years, and some of them are still starting, and the construction of the first floor is stopped, such real estate can be seen everywhere, and this area is almost all of them. I heard the aunts in the community say that this place was originally going to develop commercial buildings, but the developer cheated those who paid the first payment of money and then fled, and the project had no capital turnover, so it was naturally stopped. Over time, the place became a desolate place, and in the early days it was best suited for the night adventures of young men who sought to thrill the brave. It's just that a few years ago, there was a rumor that it was haunted, and it was an ironclad fact that people had died in this place, and over time, no one dared to pass by this place.
The ruined temporary houses in this area have an eerie atmosphere, and I can even feel the breath of death. I carried Bai Xuanzhi to the deserted temporary house. If I were to go alone, I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't have the courage. Fortunately, with Bai Xuanzhi by my side, there should be no emergencies under normal circumstances! I soothed my uneasy heart. Bai Xuanzhi still looked like he was doing nothing, which reassured me.
Because it is a ruined place, it is a messy place, with mountains of old furniture, and discarded scraps of paper, old newspapers and magazines, which are messy. There are also a lot of cardboard boxes stacked in the corner, and I don't know who brought them in. When I arrived at the Fei Building, it was gloomy and did not see the day, the steps were surrounded by moss, and the abandoned building was dim, even in the daytime, as soon as people stepped into the abandoned building, it was not much different from feeling dark.
Although I felt that there was an evil smell in the abandoned building, there was also a slight smell of decay, presumably the smell that had been left out after the decomposition of the garbage that had been stagnant for a long time. This strange atmosphere is like a preparation before a storm is brewing, and there is always an indescribable sense of boredom in my heart, giving people a suffocating feeling, and I am uncomfortable.
I don't know how long it took, I really couldn't stand the deathly silence of this place, so I automatically opened my mouth: "Bai Xuanzhi, can you say something?" He leaned over, "Are you bored?" As soon as I heard this, I directly threw him a roll of the eyes. He smiled at me, "It's okay, isn't there still me?" and put his arm around my shoulder. It wasn't until I smelled his unique fragrance that my beating heart calmed down. I have to say that he gave me a sense of trustworthy dependence, which made up for the defects of my weak mind that I had been worried about since I was a child.
