Chapter 31: The Crying Child
At one o'clock in the afternoon, there were almost no people in the Luqiao community at this time, and the security guard at the entrance of the community sat listlessly on the chair. The fitness area, where many elementary school students and the elderly stay, is empty because everyone is taking a nap at home, and many people don't come back at noon.
At this time, the phone rang, and the security guard picked up the microphone: "Hello, security room...... Building 21? Another child crying? Okay, we'll take a look right away. The security guard put down the phone and sighed, this is not the first time to complain, sometimes it is the afternoon, sometimes it is the middle of the night, sometimes it is almost dawn, there are always children crying on the 19th floor of Building 21, but from the 16th floor to the 22nd floor, there is no child at all. At first, they thought that someone was abducting and trafficking children, and they were nervous for a long time.
Xu Shufen on the 18th floor is 69 years old this year, and the house she lives in is her son's wedding room, but the young couple does not come back to eat at noon, and she herself can take a nap at noon easily, and she is not in a hurry. But after moving from the upstairs house, I always heard children crying from time to time, and sometimes I could hear the sound of someone knocking on the floor, like a child's prank. But after she told the property and security, the property said that there were no children on the 19th floor, none of them. She didn't believe that it was likely that the family with the child had hidden the child when they came.
After hearing the child's cry again, she immediately called the property and immediately took the elevator to the 19th floor. There were four households on the 19th floor, and she knew from the direction from which the crying came from that the family with children was 051.
She rang the doorbell, and the child's crying disappeared immediately.
There are people in the house, she knows. There is a man in his sixties and a woman in his twenties living in this family, the man is at home every day, and the woman will go out during the day, and I don't know if it is to work, and the two are still husband and wife. Xu Shufen looked down on the couple a little, so she didn't believe what the property said about having no children, what else could these two people have in their mouths?
She continued to ring the doorbell, but saw that there was no response at all, so she had to start knocking on the door, "Mr. Gao?" Mr. Gao, you open the door. Mr. Gao! ”
After more than ten minutes, the door opened. Gao Songzhi stood in the door wearing an old undershirt and bean paste-colored trousers, "Something?" ”
Xu Shufen, "Mr. Gao, I really want to ask you to take care of your children. He cries several times a day! Everyone knows that children love to cry, but he always cries when others are resting, which is not good, you have to discipline it! ”
"I don't have any children!" Gao Songzhi slammed the door with a bad look!
It's not the first time Xu Shufen has been locked out of the door like this by him, and she almost squeezed her hand last time! Luckily, she hid quickly this time! When she dodged open, she saw that the door was closed, so she had to step forward and bang on the door again, and said loudly, "Mr. Gao! I don't care! If you do this again, I can only call the police! You don't know where this kid came from! Who knows who you and your wife are! You can cheat the property, you can't fool the police! I'll call the police if you do this again! ”
She shouted for a while before she went down angrily.
Gao Songzhi leaned against the door, his heart beating extremely fast.
Then the phone rang in the house, it was the people from the property, and they said: "Mr. Gao, we have received a complaint about the crying of children in your house......"
Gao Songzhi sat on the sofa weakly, "I don't have any children at home...... Haven't you come to see it? You can come and see ...... now."
After a while, the property people arrived, Gao Songzhi opened the door, the property people only looked in front of the door, made sure that there were no children and left, but reminded Gao Songzhi not to make too much noise at home to affect the neighbors, whether it is watching movies or TV, it is better to be quieter.
The people of the property are no longer going to get to the bottom of this matter, and if someone complains, they will come to see it, and they will leave if they don't find the child. Gao Songzhi almost hoped that the people in the property would not leave, and when they left, he would be left alone at home.
After the property owner left, he stood in the living room, and then also took the keys and mobile phone and went downstairs.
"So, Lao Gao is quite pitiful." Zhao Lanshan was a little sympathetic to Gao Songzhi, he also had the experience of being possessed by a ghost, and that feeling of precariousness was really uncomfortable. It's like cutting off the head with a blunt knife. Fear will die, but there is hope that it may not die, and under this kind of pressure, people will be ten years old. "He said that there was a well in his parents' old house, and a boy of eight or nine years old had drowned in the well, and he said that he was afraid that the boy's ghost had haunted him."
Fang Yu looked at Qin Qing, he was persuaded by Zhao Lanshan before agreeing to let him tell Qin Qing about this, but he also said that if Qin Qing couldn't do it or wasn't willing to do it, then he couldn't force her.
After Zhao Lanshan finished speaking, he found, huh? Qin Qing's expression was very flat, not like he was moved, nor like sympathizing with Gao Songzhi. What's going on?
Qin Qing: "And then?" ”
Zhao Lanshan was puzzled, "Girl, what do you think?" ”
Fang Yu said to him, "Old Zhao, what do we say?" ”
Zhao Lanshan immediately said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I won't have to let your sister save Lao Gao, and besides, this is not necessarily right, right?" I just want my sister to go and show Lao Gao to see if there is really a ghost lying on him, if not, I will let him go to the doctor immediately. ”
Qin Qing: "If the matter is not clear, I don't have any opinion." Glancing at Fang Yu by the way, "But it's obvious." If he didn't have a ghost in his heart, he wouldn't have guessed about this ghost. "The direction is so clear, you think it's the boy? Generally speaking, when you hear a child's cry, you will guess that it is a younger child, right? Babies, or one- or two-year-olds or whatever, or maybe girls, who would skip that and guess a boy who is eight or nine years old?
Zhao Lanshan, "That's because the boy drowned in his well." ”
"Then why don't you pester him, and his parents want to pester him?" Qin Qing said.
Zhao Lanshan said in his heart, how could he know the reason? "How can ghosts do things reasonably?"
Qin Qing said, "I don't know a few ghosts, but I know people." People usually talk and act in an organized manner. "Therefore, there must be a relationship between this boy and Gao Songzhi, or a ghost relationship in his heart.
When he arrived at Luqiao Community, Zhao Lanshan called Gao Yuzhi, "Where are you in the fitness area?" Okay, let's get over it. ”
The fitness area is full of gym equipment, and from a distance, you can see a man in a blue and gray track jacket sitting on a swing, his hair is gray, and a little Mediterranean, and he looks to be in his seventies.
As soon as Qin Qing said this, Zhao Lanshan immediately said, "He has been aging fast recently, he wasn't so old before, and he was about the same as me, he was only five years older than me." ”
"I really can't see it......" Qin Qing said.
Fang Yu took her hand and whispered, "Just take a look, let's not go over." ”
Looking for someone to show Gao Zhizhi about this, Fang Yu told Zhao Lanshan not to mention Qin Qing first. Zhao Lanshan also agreed, he sympathized with Gao Yuzhi, but Qin Qing was his own family. He is sympathetic and can only help. Besides, there is really a problem, and Qin Qing can't help. Last time, he knew very well that Qin Qing could only see it, and it didn't mean what she could do.
Zhao Lanshan went to talk to Gao Songzhi, and also pointed to Qin Qing and Fang Yu, who were standing not far away.
Fang Yu whispered, "He and Gao Songzhi are business friends, and the two have been friends for seven or eight years. He asked Qin Qing, "Do you see anything?" ”
Qin Qing took a few steps to the side and saw Gao Songzhi's face clearly, just now when he turned his head, she saw something unusual, but she suspected that she had seen it wrong.
"How?" Fang Yu saw something in her expression.
Qin Qing shook his head in embarrassment, it was hard to say. She didn't know what to say.
Zhao Lanshan was talking to Gao Songzhi while constantly looking in the direction of Fang Yu and Qin Qing. Do you see that? Is there any?
Qin Qing couldn't say it well, Fang Yu was really embarrassed to see her, and shook his head at Zhao Lanshan.
Zhao Lanshan came over quickly, and as soon as he got closer, he saw that Qin Qing's expression was wrong, and the three of them returned to the car, Zhao Lanshan wanted to ask, but Qin Qing didn't look at him at all, and got into the car directly.
Zhao Lanshan didn't ask anymore, so he didn't think there was such a thing, and got in the car and said, "Go!" Go chestnut picking! ”
The orchard where the chestnut trees were planted was not very large, and the six hundred chestnut trees were not as many as expected, and it took only twenty minutes to turn around, and the owner of the orchard asked his son and daughter to accompany them to pick them.
Fang Yu never mentioned Gao Songzhi's matter just now, Zhao Lanshan was also very eye-catching, and after entering the orchard for a while, he separated from Fang Yu and Qin Qing, and asked the orchard owner's son to accompany him to the tree, "I see that tree is strong, and there must be a lot of fruits!" ”
Qin Qing squatted on the ground to pick it up, and at a glance, it was almost full of chestnuts. The orchard owner's daughter said, "My dad wants you to pick them up, but he won't let us prune them, just wait for them to fall." There are still trees that haven't fallen, she said, "and you can climb the ladder to prune." ”
The chestnuts were round, they were all very big, the color was red and brown, Qin Qing picked them up with both hands, threw them into the bag together, and went to pick them up, but he didn't have time to stand up.
Fang Yu kept helping her hold the plastic bag, and also used a broom to help her sweep the distant ones, and the orchard's daughter said, "Why don't I go and get a dustpan, you can sweep it, that fast." ”
Although there is no romance of picking it up by hand, it is really too tiring to squat all the time, and Qin Qing's leg will be broken when he stands up. The orchard's daughter quickly brought a large dustpan, saw that their plastic bag was quickly filled, and took a large bamboo basket in their garden, filled a small half of the area and said that it was enough, and no matter how much it should be taken away, he whispered to Qin Qing, "They are looking forward to us buying more and leaving." Qin Qing couldn't help but laugh.
Fang Yu saw that she was in a good mood, so he tucked the hair that fell back behind her ears for her, and said, "Don't take Gao Songzhi's matter to heart, Lao Zhao also said it in passing, don't worry about him being angry." ”
Qin Qing was silent, Fang Yu saw that it was almost over, the chestnuts were not ground into noodles, so it was impossible to buy much if they were fried and eaten directly, plus they were taken back and given away, these were enough. He pulled Qin Qing up and said, "Can you bring more back for you?" Go back and divide all your dormitory classmates, and then get some for your family. He picked out a good-looking one and put it in a plastic bag to prepare for Qin Qing, "They are still fried here, we let them fry it, just to eat a farmhouse meal here, his chickens here are all normal free-range chickens, delicious and chewy." ”
Qin Qing tugged at his sleeve, Fang Yu looked up puzzled, and followed her to a distance, far from Zhao Lanshan and the people in the orchard.
"What's wrong?" He said as he stroked her hair.
"......" Qin Qing, "That Gao Songzhi may ...... I won't live long......"
Fang Yu was startled, looked left and right, and asked her in a low voice, "There is a ghost on his back?" "Really?
Qin Qing shook her head, she didn't see any ghosts.
Fang Yu didn't understand, "Then how do you know?" ”
This Qin Qing didn't understand either, "I don't know either...... It's just that when she sees his face...... she looks at Fang Yu, and then turns to look at the daughter of the orchard and Zhao Lanshan, "Seeing that the others are ordinary and nothing, looking at Gao Songzhi, you can see it immediately." ”
But if she were to say where she saw it, she couldn't tell it, it was just a simple feeling.
