Uncle Ma also made a gesture to use his feet to do ideological education work for Lao Zhang, but Lao Zhang was forced to do as Uncle Ma instructed.

Uncle Ma nodded with satisfaction and said to us: "Wait a minute, if you send it up, you still knock on the door first, if the door still doesn't open, Xiao Xu must immediately untie the end tied to the paper figure as quickly as possible, and hang the pillow directly on the door." Then you can pull it down. We slapped our butts and left, and everything was over. ”

"And what if the door opens?" Lao Zhang trembled and asked the same doubts in my heart.

"Alas......" Uncle Ma sighed deeply, "You don't have to worry about the door when it opens, just follow the natural development of the situation, you don't have to worry, with it, you can't die." As he spoke, he pointed to the paper figure tied in front of Lao Zhang.

"Let me say one more thing," Uncle Ma looked at the tube building twice, and said, "Is the dormitory of this hosiery factory a few small wide and flat courtyards in it, and a small patio in the middle?" ”

I nodded, and Uncle Ma said, "It's obviously different from ordinary silos, do you know why?" The old man said to listen to you, the mansion here is not a short year, and when it was built, it was still a mansion built for the deputy marshal Lin of a warlord during the Republic of China. After decades of wind and rain, it was not until the mid-eighties that it was renovated into a dormitory for a hosiery factory. ”

I really couldn't figure out what Uncle Ma was doing when he suddenly said this, so I asked, "Uncle Ma, why did you suddenly say this?" ”

Uncle Ma said nonchalantly: "What else can there be, the old mansion, the yin qi is heavy, and it is normal to have ghosts." ”

Is it normal to have ghosts?

Don't look at Lao Zhang's usual big grin, today I really encountered this kind of unclean thing, and I saw that I was particularly timid, he said: "Or ...... Still not going? ”

After finishing speaking, he wanted to untie the straw rope, but Uncle Ma held his hand and said, "There is an old man who personally goes out to help you sit in the town here, and you are still afraid of accidents?" ”

Old Zhang Hu said suspiciously: "Uncle Ma, why don't you go up together?" ”

"Killing chickens with a knife? Let me tell you: the current state of affairs, I will make an immature analogy: at best, there is a thug who is not in the stream, and he is about to throw a stone at us, and we don't need to directly bring out the nuclear weapon and aim it at the head, isn't it, it's not enough, you just go, I'll help you take the town. Finally, a reminder, although you are two people going up, after entering the door, you must not talk to your nephew. Don't forget this!! After that, he motioned for us to go upstairs, and he sat down on the edge of the flower bed, and crossed Erlang's legs.

Lao Zhang and I glanced at each other, thinking that we had come here, and now Uncle Ma was guarding here, so I emboldened myself and said, "It's just to deliver a takeaway, how can there be so many gods and gods." ”

Lao Zhang said thoughtfully: "In case I go in and scare my soul away......"

I grabbed Lao Zhang, who still wanted to speak, and categorically interrupted him and said, "Okay, your crow mouth is very smart today, don't talk about it." ”

He looked at Uncle Ma pitifully: "If I shout, uncle, you have to save me quickly......"

It's a very cold place, and I don't want to continue grinding with them, I just want to hurry up and go back to sleep. Pull Lao Zhang and go inside.

During the day, the corridor was extremely dark, and at this moment, in the middle of the night, it was completely black and empty, like a devouring demon cave.

Before the two of us walked in the door, we first took out our phones and turned on the flash. Lao Zhang walked away, and I followed closely behind the palace. Lao Zhang's mobile phone flash is particularly powerful, illuminating clearly from 3 meters away. Although there are 4 cameras on the back of my phone, the flash is obviously not as bright as his.

At this time, his self-confidence came, and he said proudly: "Awesome, I am a double flash, and the night sky illuminates your beauty." ”

I urged: "Okay, let's go, don't show a female ghost ......" Lao Zhang, who was originally in a gradually calmed down, listened to my words and obviously froze, I realized that my crow mouth was speechless, and hurriedly said: "Let's go back quickly, come out and praise your mobile phone." ”

The old man drooped his head, obviously discouraged by me, sighed, and walked out of the doorway.

Walking into the dark corridor, the darkness around us seems to be a monster that can eat the light around us.

Originally, in a place where there was light outside, our mobile phones could shine far away, but in this dark corridor, it could only shine out one or two meters.

In the corridor, it was pitch black all around.

It was as if the darkness here was not just due to the lack of light, but that there was something else that kept the light out, such as a presence similar to a black mist.

I followed Lao Zhang closely, walking with him one after the other, his original striding footsteps, after walking into the darkness, gradually slowed down.

Many people agree that humans are afraid of the dark.

But black is not terrible. What we are afraid of now is the unknown from the darkness.

My palms are sweaty, and the darkness around me makes me timid, and in this treacherous darkness, will there be something hidden beyond our cognition, like looking at prey, already staring at us in the dark?

But if my flashlight shines randomly and directly hits those things, isn't it even more terrifying?

I'm obsessed with whether to take a random photo or not, and at the moment I am still an ostrich with my head buried, and it is more appropriate not to face up to the unknown.

So I cleared my throat and shouted in a low voice: "Lao Zhang, don't shake the flashlight......"

Lao Zhang's voice was obviously agitated, and he asked without looking back: "Boss Xu, have you heard of any taboos that illuminate the light?" ”

I reassured, "Don't remember all the scary horror stories you've heard in your life. We're just here to deliver takeaways, not to explore, and we don't care about what's around, just leave after delivery. Take care of the path under your feet. ”

"You're right......" Lao Zhang agreed with my point of view, he stopped in place, the light of his mobile phone flickered to the side and said, "Is it this staircase to go up?" ”

I looked back, it didn't seem to have gone far, it was already dark when I turned around, it stands to reason that the outside of the corridor is brighter than here, there should be light.

I felt as if the path we had come from had been swallowed up by darkness.

I didn't dare to express my worries, recalling the experience of coming during the day, it seemed that the stairs were indeed not far from the entrance of the stairs, and I had the courage to say, "This should be it, go up." ”

So Lao Zhang was in front, and I was behind, and the two of them stepped on the slabs under their feet to make a creaking sound on the floor, and went up the staircase of the old brick and wood structure.

After going up the stairs, we were speechless, we just wanted to get there quickly and leave quickly.

But just walking, back and forth several corridors...... Isn't that right?

This old house only has the second floor in total, why hasn't it arrived yet?

Lao Zhang seemed to realize this at the same time, stopped and asked, "Boss Xu, how many floors have we gone up...... Are you sure we're going to the second floor? ”

I couldn't believe that I encountered the worst as soon as I came in, and encouraged Lao Zhang to say, "Maybe we were too nervous and caused the illusion." Let's go around and try again. ”

We continued walking, and for another five minutes we walked, and there was still no sign of the end of the stairs.

Lao Zhang and I didn't speak, stepping on the creaking floor, and we could only keep walking, but I could already hear his breathing getting heavier and heavier.
