Chengxi District, not far from the Chengxi Public Security Bureau, Linhai Community, seventh floor, room 703, the door is closed, everyone who passes by 703 will not notice this house that has been closed for ten years, even if they pass by the door, they just glance at it in a hurry, and leave quickly, and what they never imagined is that in this room, which seems to be uninhabited forever, there is a person standing at the moment, a woman.

With the passage of time and the development of the times, many of the children of the residents have grown up and started a family, and after they joined the work, they have successively bought a new house or a loan or a loan, and moved to a new home, and these old houses, they either sell them at a low price or rent them out, and Room 703 is a very strange resident.

The owner of room 703 is the first person to buy more than half of the room in this community, he is an old man, people are used to calling him Lao Wang, and room 703 was rented out more than ten years ago, and the person who rented this room is a man and a woman and two students, the man is not very handsome, but at a glance, he knows that he is a very responsible person, at the beginning, when he rented this house, he bargained with Uncle Wang for a long time, in order to save dozens of dollars, Uncle Wang saw that they were students, so he agreed.

After the house was rented out, the man and woman who looked at the relationship between lovers moved over, the two people have a good relationship, and they always enter and exit the community in pairs, and even go out to a garbage together, which can be described as very enviable.

Twelve years ago, the boy who had been renting here did not appear again, but as long as the girl came to live here alone, whether it was to go out to find a job, or go out to buy groceries, or do anything else, he did not see the boy anymore, Uncle Wang felt strange, once, he asked the girl, and learned from the girl that the boy went to be a soldier, and Uncle Wang suddenly realized.

Maybe it's because the boy isn't here, the girl doesn't come here very often, but she comes here three or four days a week, and she's been closed all the time since she's here, and no one knows what she's doing.

Just after the boy did not appear, about two months later, the girl did not appear again, when Uncle Wang came to collect the rent, he always couldn't find anyone, and later, Uncle Wang learned from other people's mouths that the girl had a car accident and was still lying in the hospital, maybe the girl and the boy were very popular with Uncle Wang, maybe because they had lived here for a long time, and Uncle Wang did not forcibly open the door and rent the house to other people.

Half a year later, a woman wearing a mask, a hat on her head, and long hair found him, settled the rent arrears, and renewed the rent for three years, intending to live in it for a long time.

When Uncle Wang accepted the rent, he realized that the woman who wrapped herself tightly and seemed to have a problem with one eye was none other than the girl who had rented 703 before, Uncle Wang wanted to ask the girl what was going on, but when he saw the girl's hideous scar from under the mask, Uncle Wang still chose not to ask anything.

After the girl continued to rent room 703, she did not live here again, and the door of room 703 was closed all the year round, and the door was covered with cobwebs, although Uncle Wang felt strange, but he had already received the rent, and he didn't ask anything, just occasionally took a broom to clean the aisle here, as for where the girl went, he didn't know.

Ten years ago, a man wearing a military uniform and carrying a duffel bag came here, he asked for a spare key from Uncle Wang, and opened the door of room 703, and Uncle Wang recognized at a glance when he saw this man dressed as a veteran, he was the boy who came here to rent a house with the girl a few years ago, I haven't seen him for more than two years, the boy is a lot darker, and he has matured a lot, and his skin is also bronzed.

When the man was looking for Uncle Wang to get the spare key, he asked Uncle Wang a lot about the girl, and learned that Room 703 was renewed for three years, he was silent for a long time, and renewed the lease with Uncle Wang for three years, and at that time it was already 2007, and the price had already been incomparable with the original price, everything began to rise, and the rent naturally increased.

The man stayed in room 703 for a week, and during this week, Uncle Wang only saw that the door of the room was closed, the man stayed at home, and no one knew what the man was doing inside.

A week later, the man with a languid and haggard look finally opened the door of Room 703 and walked out, his expression was very sad, and when he left the Linhai community, his back was so lonely, giving people a very lonely feeling.

After that, men would come here from time to time to stay and have a look.

Whenever a man came to live here, the light in the room was always on, and it was on all night, as if he was waiting for the girl who had left twelve years ago and had not been seen again, however, that

The girl never appeared again, no one knew where she went, and Uncle Wang also learned from the few small talks with the man that the man was an auxiliary police officer of the Public Security Bureau, a policeman.

Every time Uncle Wang passes by Room 703, he thinks of the man wearing a police uniform and a lonely face, as well as the woman who wears a thick mask and wraps himself tightly, he feels sorry for this once sweet man and woman, and in addition to regret, Uncle Wang has no other thoughts, after all, after people are older, have experienced more things, and have seen more tragedies, they have already looked down on many things, and their curiosity is not so strong.

One night eight years ago, a man in civilian clothes came to the Linhai community again, and stayed in the 703 room again for a full week, since then, the man has not appeared again, and then, there have been seven murders in the city, and these seven dead are all the scourge that everyone wants to die sooner, Uncle Wang also sighed after seeing the news, if such people die more, if there are more punishers, how good it would be, the city would be much cleaner.

However, one day three months after the murder, a large group of police officers in police uniforms came here, opened the door of room 703, rummaged through it, and left.

Lu Jianwei hasn't appeared in the Linhai community for a long time, and Uncle Wang naturally hasn't seen it, as for the others, they all have their own families and lives, and they don't pay attention to a character who doesn't deal with the neighbors at all, so no one has seen Lu Jianwei, and there are even many people who don't know who 703 lives in, and there are still people living in 703.

After the police left, Uncle Wang learned that the initiator of the recent cases in the city that had been reported by the news media was the former student, the man who used to wear a military uniform and a police uniform, in addition to being shocked and incredible, Uncle Wang was more puzzled, he really couldn't figure out that the man who looked gentle and spoke softly would be a murderer.

At that time, there were a lot of police officers who came here, although the police did not go to what they wanted after searching room 703, and most of the police left, but Uncle Wang still noticed that there were many unfamiliar faces in the Linhai community, and with Uncle Wang's social experience and experience, he knew that these strange faces were plainclothes policemen, which made Uncle Wang feel very uncomfortable.

More than half a month later, those plainclothes policemen who were no strangers to Uncle Wang suddenly withdrew and never appeared again, and soon after, Uncle Wang learned through the news that several homicide cases that the police had solved before had been solved, and the murderer had been arrested.

At that time, Uncle Wang was still thinking about whether to go to the detention center to see the man, but he unexpectedly learned that the man had committed suicide in fear of crime when the police found him, after learning of this result, Uncle Wang was silent for a long time, except for a long sigh, Uncle Wang didn't say anything, and didn't do anything, after all, the person died, the case was closed, everyone's life was calm again, no one would remember Lu Jianwei, and no one would pay attention to Room 703.

Six years ago, just one month before the expiration of the lease contract for room 703, a young man found Uncle Wang, he directly gave Uncle Wang a sum of money, and rented room 703 for a long time.

And this afternoon, a very beautiful woman appeared in the Linhai community, after Uncle Wang saw the woman, he knew that she was not a resident of this community, after all, he has lived here all his life, and he knows everyone in and out of the community, but the other party is a woman, and he did not come to him to ask for directions, and he also stopped paying attention after looking at the woman a few times.

The woman wore a large hat and a pair of large glasses on the bridge of her nose, which covered most of the woman's face, and after she entered the Linhai community, she went up the stairs to the 7th floor.

The woman stood at the door of room 703, looking at the closed door, and the woman stood for a long, long time before she found a key from a bag she was carrying.

The key was inserted into the lock hole, and with a crisp click, the door of room 703, which had been closed for many years, opened, and a musty smell came to the face, making the woman subconsciously frown, she did not retreat, but walked straight into the door of room 703, and then, the door of room 703 that had just been opened closed again, and from the outside, this room seemed to have never been opened.

After the woman walked into 703 and closed the door, she slowly turned around and stood at the door, took off the sunglasses on her face, held them in her hand, and carefully examined the situation in the room.

The room is not big, two bedrooms and a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom, the left hand of the door is the bathroom, opposite the bathroom is a bedroom, and in front of the woman is a living room that is not too big.

The woman stood in the doorway

Second, she lowered her head and looked at the ground, where she remembered that there used to be a shoe cabinet made of iron shelves, on which his and her shoes were placed, and now, the iron shelves had long since rusted and fell to the ground at an angle, and several pairs of shoes on the shoe rack, which had long been made by rats and cockroaches, were scattered on the ground.

The woman squatted down, placed the bag in her hand on the dusty ground, then stretched out her hand to lift up the iron shelf, re-placed it in the corner, and put the shoes on the ground on the shoe rack one by one.

After doing all this, the woman slowly stood up and walked to the living room, leaving clear footprints on the floor of the room with each step she took.

There are two cheap sofas in the living room, the sofa is covered with a sofa cover, and at this moment, the sofa cover has already been dusty, it has become dirty, and the original color can no longer be seen clearly, the sofa is also staggered, one of them is turned over in the corner, in front of the sofa is a small coffee table, the coffee table is full of dust, it looks dirty, on the opposite side of the sofa, there is a cabinet, there is an old-fashioned black and white TV on the cabinet, and the things that were originally placed next to the TV have also fallen to the ground, Or overturn on a cabinet and look like a mess.

The woman came to the bedroom again, there was a double bed in the master bedroom, the sheets and bedding fell on the ground in a mess, the bed was twisted into a ball, and the plastic wardrobe placed in the corner was also open, and there were a few clothes full of holes hanging in it, and a few hangers, and in the window position, a desk was placed, and there were several thick books scattered on the desk, and a table that was upside down on the table.

The woman walked to the desk, stretched out her hand, picked up the table, and gently wiped the thick dust off the table with her fingers, revealing a photograph.

This is a photo of two young people, a man and a woman, the man is wearing a plaid shirt, with a smile on his face, a pair of small eyes narrowed into a slit, and there is a woman beside the man, the woman tilts her head slightly, clinging to the man, showing very intimacy, the woman is not particularly beautiful, but full of youth and vitality, the woman is smiling very happily, and there are two shallow dimples on her cheeks.

The woman's fingers gently rubbed the cheek of the man in the photo, and a smile appeared on the slightly stiff cheek, as if what she was touching at this moment was not the man's photo, but the man standing in front of her, and she was gently caressing his cheek.

The weather outside was gloomy, and the room was even darker, and the woman stood by the window with the photo, looked at it for a long time, laughed for a long time, and seemed to remember something very happy.

I don't know how long it took, the woman slowly put down the table, gently placed the table on the dusty desk, and then, she turned her head, looked around, looked at the messy room, frowned, hesitated, and began to tidy up the room.

First, open the windows of the room to ventilate the room, and then, put together all the things that were no longer usable, and put all the things scattered on the ground back in their places.

After a few hours of busyness, the original messy and messy room was finally cleaned up, although there are still some places that have not been cleaned up, but at least it looks much more comfortable and pleasing to the eye, and the originally clean woman has become a big cat at the moment, not to mention the clothes on her body have become dirty, and her face is also black marks, which looks funny and cute.

The woman ignored this, and after she cleaned up her room, she went to the bathroom, and after a simple wash, she came out with a new set of clean clothes, which were very cheap and homely.

The woman stood in front of the bathroom sink, with wet hair, looking at the slightly stiff and rigid face in the mirror, the original smile on her face slowly faded, and a look of disgust gradually emerged, yes, the woman was disgusted to see this face, although she had been looking at this face for several years, but she didn't look at it again, and the hatred in her heart was going to be stronger, and the disgust was added.

"Smack"

The woman suddenly dropped the towel in her hand on the mirror, and there was a dull sound, and the wet towel exploded a puddle of water droplets on the mirror, and the towel slowly slipped down and fell into the sink, the originally clean mirror also became mottled, and the woman's face gradually blurred.

The woman didn't seem to want to look at herself in the mirror more, she went straight out of the bathroom, found the bag she was carrying, took out a few bills from it, and walked out of 703,.

After about half an hour, the door of 703 was opened again, and the woman returned with fresh vegetables, and then she went to the kitchen, where the smell of food wafted after a clanging sound.

The woman wore an apron and brought her meal to the living room, and when the dishes were arranged, the woman sat down at the table, and across from her placed an empty chair and a bowl full of food.

After the woman sat down, she looked at the empty chair opposite, the look of a little woman appeared on her face again, picked up the dishes and chopsticks in front of her, and whispered, "Eat." ”
