Oh people.

Tortured in the dark, how can you not be excited when you suddenly see a little light.

Lao Zhang and I are so ordinary that we can't be ordinary to deliver takeaways, but we took a takeaway that is said to be a ghost order, and then took the express delivery to meet Lao Zhang's mysterious uncle, under his guidance, we still entered this weird building, and directly lost in this seemingly endless staircase, even lost the mobile phone, and urinated on each other.

It's enough to think about today's embarrassment.

Suddenly seeing the light, we all relaxed our tense nerves. I must have thought that Uncle Ma had come to save us.

The sudden light seemed to shine farther than our previous phone flash, but it was still high above us.

Lao Zhang and I simply sat side by side on the stairs against each other, and based on my perception of the unknown, we should have sat in the center of the circle I had strafed and painted.

Lao Zhang shouted angrily at the light: "Hey!!" We're down there!! What did you old man do, how did he get up?! ”

"Who? Who's under the stairs? An old voice came, but we were stunned for a moment, this was not Uncle Ma's voice?

I was lucky, and I directly remembered what I had seen during the day, the old man I had seen in this building.

Yes, it was his voice, which stopped me at the time, and it was near this staircase.

I hurriedly said, "Uncle, it's me, I've been here during the day, don't move, let's come up!" ”

The old man was noncommittal, and said angrily: "What's wrong with the current offspring, I don't understand any politeness!" ”

I whispered to Lao Zhang, "Don't wait for him to come and pick us up, let's go up!" ”

Then we walked up to the light.

The light was like the bright moon hanging in the sky, looking out of reach. But just around the corner, we see where that light comes from.

It was a white papier-mâché lantern, carried by the same old man I had seen during the day. The old man was still dressed as he was during the day, with a hurdle vest, shorts and slippers, and he looked unkempt from head to toe.

We went up a few steps and we were in front of the lantern.

The old man shook the lantern in our faces, and said angrily, "Deliver the food?" I'll just say why the stairwell stinks, it's all you peeing here. Which uneyed king and eight cubs opened his mouth to call me a dead old man? ”

He shrugged his nose and continued: "Although I am old, my nose is still smart, are you urinating your hands, what a fucking commotion." ”

Lao Zhang saw that it was an old man, and immediately admitted his mistake and said: "I'm sorry, we thought it was my mother's uncle, but we didn't expect it to be your old man who offended your old man." I apologize to you! ”

I was so angry with him that I said a few words, but I suddenly felt cordial. After all, it is better to be ridiculed by the living than to be in the dark, to be in the company of unpredictable dangers, and to engage in quality silence.

"Full of nonsense, there are still a few households living on the first floor of this building, and the second floor is the old man, where is your uncle?" He paused and said suspiciously, "You two are not here to steal, are you?" Hurry up, I'm calling 110! ”

I thought to myself, thieves have to steal valuable things, and you have valuable things to steal in this building.

But after all, I met a living person, I smiled shamelessly and pointed to my face and said, "Uncle, do you remember me?" You see, I've been here to deliver food during the day, and we've seen each other, so we really didn't come here to make trouble with you. ”

"You've been here to deliver food during the day?" The old man shook the lantern in front of my eyes again, and his lantern was very clever, dangling it in his hand, but the light of the fire inside was not affected in the slightest, and it was not flickered to the light.

His old cloudy eyes seemed to be covered with more bloodshot than they seemed during the day. At this moment, his gaze wandered off my face, and he withdrew his gaze and shook his head, saying, "I don't remember." ”

"Oh, I remember." He suddenly slapped his head, "I haven't ordered takeout...... What the hell do you want to do, kid? Do you want to recognize me as a godfather so that you can sell health care products? ”

I saw that he was a little too nervous, so I hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't get me wrong, I'm not delivering food to you, I'm giving it to that household, 2-04." ”

"What?" His pupils suddenly constricted, and he instantly shone the lantern under my feet and Lao Zhang's feet, and he muttered casually: "Isn't the delivery person dead?" ”

"Who's dead?" Lao Zhang and I looked at each other in the dim light, and our teeth chattered a little.

He confirmed our feet, and suddenly his face changed, and he said, "This place is not suitable for a long time, hurry up and follow me into the house." ”

With that, he turned and walked in the direction of his house.

He squeaked open the door and saw the light of the incandescent light in the door. We hurried in.

The old man didn't reply, and instructed, "When you enter the house, help me close the door!" ”

Walking at the back, I said yes, and pulled the door up, and I heard the old man suddenly scream, and he fell backwards, but fortunately there was a chaise longue behind him, and the man fell on the chaise longue so softly.

"What's going on, Lao Zhang?" My heart was pounding, and I couldn't help but ask a lot of questions: "Will you die when you enter the house?" Is this old man a living person or a ghost? It's a living person, does that mean it's going to be a fool of the two of us? ”

Lao Zhang had been following the old man and rushing into the house, but then he turned around and shook his head at me, and when I saw him turn around, I almost burped away.

The paper-piercing man who was tied to Lao Zhang's chest, and whose whole body was so white that it could scare people at a glance, was now hanging down, like a child entity whose head had been screwed off. Not to mention how scary it looks.

I hurriedly said, "Didn't you say that you should take a good look at this paper figure?" Look at what it looks like! Hurry up and rectify! ”

Lao Zhang nodded, trying to straighten that head.

At first glance, this thing does make people choke, I guess the old man may have been frightened by this thing and fainted, and hurriedly ran over to probe the old man's snort, although he rolled his eyes, but sure enough, there was still a breath.

I hurriedly choked his people with all my might, and the old man woke up with a whimper.

I whispered, "Don't be afraid, it's a paper man, don't be afraid, it's not a ghost......"

The old man gasped heavily, tilted his head and looked at the old paper figure a few times, and then said with palpitations: "I said that I was sure that you have a shadow, why do you suddenly have a ghost...... Well, what the hell are you doing...... At night, get a piece of paper and tie someone to your body. I saved you with good intentions, do you want to take my life in turn? ”

Save us? We take it seriously...... Was he saved by this old man?

Could it be that he was at the top of the stairs just now, with the intention of saving us, and deliberately pretending to be crazy and stupid?

I looked around and it was an ordinary, even somewhat dilapidated old man's room. There is a door that helps us temporarily isolate what we are afraid of. There are lights, and they are incandescent lamps that are energized, to help us illuminate the darkness and take away the fear in our hearts.

I am in awe of this old man at this moment. He did save us.

I gave him a deep look and said, "Thank you for saving us, I didn't want to scare you just now, I apologize to you on behalf of me and Lao Zhang." ”

With that, I bowed deeply to him again.

"Alright, don't do this." The old man was still trying his best to breathe, and he looked like he couldn't heal the wounds in his heart.

I didn't look up as a sign of respect, stared at his feet and whispered, "I don't know your last name yet?" ”

"My surname is Qiu, and everyone calls me Qiuye."

I looked down and suddenly saw that the old man seemed to have no shadow under the dim tungsten incandescent lamp......
