"Red ......"

Abandoned Chaonei No. 81

The sound of heavy rain outside could be heard from the empty houses

In the corridor on the second floor of the East Building, the Xiaoli Xiaotong brother and sister are carefully squatting at the entrance of a room - they can't resist their curiosity.

Xiaoli even slowed down her breathing, for fear that the woman in red would hear it.

The woman in red sat at a dresser, muttering something to herself.

"Hu Lang...... Where have you been...... You don't know how to take me with you......"

The woman stroked her long hair and looked out the window at the pouring rain, which had blurred the glass on the window.

"DID YOU KNOW...... I've been dead for two years...... Just waiting for you here...... See you ......."

"Dead for two years?!"

Xiaoli and Xiaotong glanced at each other, and were about to turn around and run, who thought that the woman had already turned to look at them!

That pale complexion, where is half angry?! I saw that the woman in red stared at her, her mouth opened suddenly, and her thin fingers stretched out, screaming:

"How can there be children!?"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two children felt a light coming, which was very dazzling, and hurriedly blocked their little hands in front.

"How did you get in?"

A tall figure blocked the light, and the brother and sister opened their eyes, only to see an old man standing in front of them, his face covered with stubble.

"I ...... We ......"

How can the two of them say that they sneaked in? looked at each other and didn't say anything.

There were many people around the old man, carrying all kinds of equipment, and the woman in red just now was holding a notebook on the side, occasionally raising her head to recite it.

"Oh! I know! Xiaotong suddenly said: "You guys are making a movie!" ”

"Hahahaha-"

The old man couldn't help but laugh when he heard that the kid was so innocent, and said, "Yes, it's making a movie, and there are not many such good sets." The old man looked around the house and sighed, then leaned down and touched Xiaoli and Xiaotong's heads and said, "Children, don't run here blindly if it's okay, this house ...... It's not peaceful. ”

"Okay-" Xiaoli hurriedly responded: "Grandpa, let's go-"

"Okay, okay——! We've called it a day, too! The old man shouted behind him, and the crowd answered, and in a short time they came out of the room and went downstairs.

"Children, go home quickly—" The old man did not forget to call to the two children on the second floor as he left, and then with a "bang-" the door of the house closed, and the room returned to silence.

"Brother—let's go up quickly!"

"Good!"

What happened just now made Xiaoli and Xiaotong almost forget the purpose of coming here, and hurriedly walked up the stairs hand in hand.

"Ahh Brother-look! ”

Xiaotong pointed out a window, and saw two people waving at them in front of the window on the opposite floor.

"Lan Lan? Sang Man? Let's not lose! The two of them ignored the broken staircase and went straight up the third floor.

This floor is completely made of wood, and there is no doubt that there is no doubt about the emptiness, the two of them rushed to the window, the rain outside was light again, Xiaoli took out his mobile phone and turned on the lighting and shook it in the window.

"Hey—what about them?" Xiaotong asked.

Xiaoli poked his head out and looked around, but he didn't see Zhang Fan or Lu Yushan.

"Could it be?!" Xiaotong hurriedly said: "Lan Lan, they are faster than us?!" ”

The brother and sister hurried downstairs to take a look, but the door on the first floor of the room was still chained.

"The old man who made the movie didn't know how to leave a door for us." Xiaotong said angrily, and the two had to go back to the basement the same way and climb out of the small window again.

"Zhang Fan-Yu-shirt-"

After Xiaoli came out, he called around a few times, but there was no response, and when he was confused, he only heard a miserable scream of "ah-" from the west building.

"Lan Lan's shout!"

The brother and sister were shocked and hurriedly ran over, only to see bursts of words coming from the basement window of the West Building.

"Go up—slow down—"

poked his head out of the window suddenly, which really frightened Xiaoli and Xiaotong.

"What are you doing! Come and help! ”

I saw that the shadow was Zhang Fan, the other party squeezed out a hand, Xiao Li took it and pulled it hard, and the former borrowed his strength to drill out.

"Alright—it's all right—"

The rest of the people came out one after another, slumped on the ground and gasped for breath, apparently tired

"It hurts me—"

Lan Lan kept rubbing her ankles.

"What's going on with you guys?" Xiaoli looked at everyone and asked embarrassedly.

"What's going on?" Zhang Fan complained: "We threw stones for a long time, and in the end we all used stones!" You won't come out for half a day! ”

"It's raining so hard outside! How can we hear that? Xiaoli said.

"Are you kidding me?" Zhang Fan asked rhetorically, "When is it raining heavily?" ”

"Didn't you go to shelter from the rain?" Xiaotong looked at everyone and asked.

"Not really." Lu Yushan pushed his glasses and responded: "As soon as Lan Lan Lan went down, her foot was stuck in the stone crack in the ground, and Sang Man couldn't pull it alone, so Zhang Fan and I went down together to help." ”

Xiaoli and Xiaotong looked at each other, then looked at Lan Lan and asked carefully, "Lan Lan...... You...... You've never been upstairs? ”

"If you win, you win! Don't be so underestimated, if you have the ability, you can compare again! Lan Lan said angrily.

"Let's go...... It's too late, it's time to be told by Uncle Yan......" Sang Man whispered on the side, but Lan Lan glared back and didn't dare to say anything more.

"You ——!"

Hearing a loud shout in the distance, everyone was taken aback, and a figure standing next to the lit house in the distance ran over. "Who let you in?!"

"Not good!" Everyone hurriedly got up, Lan Lan just stood up, her ankle was in pain, "oops" and sat down again, Xiaoli and Sang Man picked her up and limped to the hole in the wall when she came in.

"What's ......?!"

Lu Yushan exclaimed, and several people came over to see it and couldn't help but be stunned......

Where else is there a half-man-high hole in the wall? But looking at the location, when you come in, there is no doubt that it is here.

"You ...... Call...... Call...... Huh......" Everyone had to watch the guards panting over, pointing at a few children, but they couldn't do anything about them, pointing outside and saying fiercely: "Get out quickly!" ”

Several people looked at each other and laughed, and walked out of the main gate with a swagger.

"Uncle." Xiaotong turned around and asked, the door was halfway closed, and the caretaker saw that it was a lovely little girl and nodded.

"What kind of movie did they make just now?" Xiaotong asked.

"Grandpa?" The caretaker didn't seem to know what the little girl was talking about.

"Yes!" Xiaotong gestured as he spoke: "This, this, this, it's all beard stubble, tall." Then he remembered something and added with a smile: "There is also a celebrity aunt in red clothes!" Probably in that room! ”

The caretaker looked into the dark window of the east building along the little girl's little hand, and said excitedly, "Little child, what are you talking about......?"

"Knock-" sounded, and the iron door slammed firmly.

"Brother—you wait for me—" Xiaotong's voice came from afar.

…………

"See——?"

"Hmm...... Finally found ......"

Night

There was a faint sound from No. 81 in the inner direction......

…………

69 Chaonei Street

In 1965 it was rearranged as No. 81 Chaonei Street, which was originally the residence of a French Chinese Catholic lady, especially her husband, who was involved in the construction, and was completed in early 1921.

This courtyard originally covered an area of 4 acres, 6 minutes, 8 centimeters and 2 millimeters, with 58 buildings, 8 and a half tile houses, 3 gray houses, and 3 gray sheds. There is a beautiful three-story Western-style building on the east and west sides of the precincts. These two small brick and stone buildings, both in the typical 20th century European and American eclectic style, have three floors above ground with a basement and an attic on the top floor, covered with French "Monsa" style double-fold roofs and arched decorative windows.

During the Japanese puppet period, the French Vichy regime became an ally of the fascists, and it was not occupied by the Japanese because it was known that the courtyard at No. 69 Chaonei Street was inhabited by people with French backgrounds. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, due to the compulsion of life, in 1946, the owner rented the first floor of the west building of the courtyard to the Catholic Church to set up a clinic here.

The subsequent founding of the country is not described in this novel. There are folk rumors:

After the Liberation War, a high-ranking Kuomintang official lived in it, leaving his family and fleeing to Taiwan alone, and his aunt and wife hanged herself in a room inside. Only the crew went to the scene for filming, during which there were many cases of missing people, most of which died without a problem......
