Chapter 128: Listening to the Story in the Birch Forest (1)
1. Ascetics
A high school student named Xiaoyu, accompanied by his parents, came to report that his family's rental house was haunted, and the case was transferred to me.
When I first saw Xiaoyu, he looked panicked, his hand holding the paper cup was shaking, and it didn't seem easy to ask something from his mouth, so I asked his father Mr. Liang first.
Mr. Liang said: "Our family may be the yin virtue accumulated by our ancestors, and our family has seven buildings, except for one for self-residence, the others are rented to others, so we can already have enough food and clothing just by renting it, and we don't need to go out to work." Both of us love to play mahjong, and we can't move to build a square city, so the matter of leasing is often handed over to Xiaoyu, after all, we only have his son, and the house will be left to him in the future. β
Mr. Liang's argument makes me feel that although Xiaoyu is happy, there seems to be a sad tone behind it, and it is also a kind of sadness to have such parents. Of course, this is their family's business, and I have to listen to it.
Mr. Liang added: "I have a house on Ping'an Road, which has been haunted before, and it is difficult to rent out the house, and the house number is still unlucky 424, so although the rent is very cheap, no one cares." It wasn't until five years ago that a weird old man rented it, and he rented the whole house. Because the old man used bank transfer to pay the rent, and never complained about any problems with the house, and our family would not idle to drill into that hellish place, so in the past five years, we have not met, not even spoken on the phone. β
Mr. Liang said that Ping'an Road used to be a mass grave, but it was later built into a residential area and named "Langang Road" (the γγγγγγ of the name). There was a period of time when there were rumors of haunting, because the people were panicked at that time, ** secretly invited Taoist priests to appease the people, and finally renamed it "Ping'an Road". These past events are known to older locals.
Although there are no rumors of haunting on Ping'an Road now, once bitten by a snake, I was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and the locals who knew about this past would never live there, so the houses in this area are rented out to outsiders.
However, in the era of information explosion, outsiders were not all unaware of this, but the rent here was cheaper than in other places, which attracted some poor or unbelieving people to rent, but the number was not much.
Mr. Liang continued: "This tenant of mine is very good, pays the rent on time, and has no requirements, he has always been safe and sound, but he has not transferred the rent to my account in the past two months, so yesterday Xiaoyu came back from school, I handed him the key and asked him to go over and see what was going on." What happened after that is what Xiao Yu saw, let him talk about it. β
Maybe he was overly frightened, he didn't speak very well, here's what he said, but it's all sorted out --
After I took the key, I asked my father for 100 yuan before I went out. When I went to Ping'an Road, the sun had already set, and the sky was a little overcast. Although I haven't been to that house for several years, it is my own house after all, and it didn't take much effort to find it.
When I came to the house, I thought it was strange, the house seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, and there were a lot of dead leaves on the steps in front of the house, and no one had been in or out for a while. I rang the doorbell for a while, found that the doorbell was broken, knocked on the door for a while, and no one responded.
Even though I'm a landlord, I can't just go into the house and disturb the tenants, so I want to make sure that there is no one in the house. There is a commissary opposite the house, I went to buy a bottle of green tea, and by the way, I asked the boss if I had ever seen someone living in the house opposite, but the boss asked me if there was anyone living in that house? He said that he had been running a shop here for more than two years, but he had never seen anyone come in or out of the area, and he didn't care because there were many houses in the neighborhood that had been vacant for a long time.
I thought it was strange at the time, since there was no one to live in, why should I pay rent every month? But this thought just flashed in my mind, anyway, he hasn't paid the rent now, I plan to go around inside, and urge the rent when I see people, and put a rental paper outside the door when I don't see anyone.
The door of the house seemed to have been touched for a really long time, and it took me a lot of effort to open it. The house was unfurnished and dusty, and I think the old man might have moved away for a long time. I wanted to turn on the lights and see clearly, but found that all the lights couldn't be turned on, and I thought it was because my father forgot to pay the electricity bill, so the power was cut off.
Because when I chatted with the owner of the commissary just now, I had already drunk the whole bottle of green tea, and I wanted to go to the toilet a little, but I had already come, and it was not too late to go to the toilet, so I would come again tomorrow and post a rental paper. Although the lights in the house can't be turned on, after all, it's my own house, and I still remember the layout clearly, and with the help of the street lights outside the window, it's not difficult to go to the toilet.
I didn't have access to the toilet in the living room because I thought the bathroom in the bedroom should be cleaner.
Although it is true that the toilet in the bedroom is not too dirty, the smell of dust is very strong, and it still makes people feel very uncomfortable. I lifted the lid of the toilet bowl with my foot, and when I was about to unzip it, I looked into the toilet, and this glance froze me, because I saw a human head in the toilet, a human head without hair and eyebrows, staring at me with wide eyes.
I was too scared to move, and it wasn't until the head snorted that I fell and wet my pants. I sat down on the floor and saw the head slowly rising from the toilet, and the neck and arms slowly sticking out of the toilet, and in a few moments, an old man with only a pair of pants left in his body came out of the toilet, he was very thin, as thin as a skeleton in human skin, but his eyes were bright, and they were like two lights in the dim toilet.
I sat on the ground and crawled backwards facing him until I reached the corner and I wanted to keep crawling. I remembered rumors that it had been haunted, and that it must have been a starving ghost, so I didn't dare to get up and run away, for I was afraid that if I didn't look at him, he would pounce on me and tear me apart and eat me.
He didn't pay attention to me when he just climbed out of the toilet, but made a few very strange movements, which are definitely not humanly possible, and then maintained a very strange posture, his whole body shrunk into a meat ball, his face sunk in the middle of the meat ball, and one hand stretched out from below to support the ground.
He kept this position and spoke to me, his voice smaller than a mosquito, but I could hear it clearly, and he said, "Aren't you the landlord's son?" What are you looking for me? β
As soon as he spoke, I realized that he might be the tenant, but his strange appearance was so terrible that I squeezed the word "pay rent" from between my teeth.
He closed his eyes as if thinking about something, and after a few seconds, asked me how long he had been here. I say about five years. He suddenly exclaimed, it had been so long! The whole person bounced up, and the body flipped two somersaults in the air, returning to the form of a normal person. I was afraid that he would pounce, so I crawled out of the houseγγγγγγ
The key to this case is the weird old man, so my colleague Xiaotong and I immediately came to No. 424 Ping'an Road with Xiaoyu. From the outside of the house, I can't see anything unusual, I can only say that the yin qi here is very heavy, and it used to be a mass grave, and it is not strange that the yin qi is heavy.
Our Mr. Liang family was waiting outside, and my child and I went into the house to find out.
We turned the whole house upside down, and we didn't find the old man that Xiaoyu said, only a letter addressed to Mr. Liang.
The letter is written with a brush, and the handwriting is vigorous and powerful, as if it were written by a calligrapher, and the content of the letter is roughly as follows:
The old monk originally wanted to live here for three years, but he didn't expect that it would be five years in the blink of an eye, and if it weren't for Ling Lang's arrival, he didn't know how long he would stay. In terms of rent, although it is two months in arrears, there should be no arrears including the deposit. Now the old monk is looking for another place to practice, goodbye.
At the back of the letter is written the words "Old Ball", which should be the name of the strange old man mentioned by Xiaoyu.
What a strange personγγγγγγ
2. Video
Xiaohua likes to video chat. One night he was alone at home and wanted to make a WeChat video with a female netizen, because he saw that the woman's profile picture and the photos in the circle of friends were very beautiful, so he wanted to make friends with her, but now that beauty selfie software is flying all over the sky, it is more reliable to see what the girl looks like through the video, so he wants to see the real face. He clicked on the video, but was rejected by the other party several times, Xiaohua thought to himself, shouldn't he look ugly? He tried again, and after the other party refused again, he sent a message: Don't you regret it? Xiaohua replied: No regrets. Moreover, his curiosity came up.
The video is connected, Xiaohua saw the woman, with Qi bangs in front of her, heavy makeup, and her face was covered with **, because the eyeliner was too thick, her eyes looked like two black holes, and she looked like a corpse with makeup... Xiaohua was a little scared and wanted to turn off the video, but a few words came out of the girl's blood-red lips: It's too late. Suddenly it was pitch black in the video, and the girl was gone. Xiao Hua's heart was a little hairy, because he saw that there seemed to be a grave looming in the darkness in the environment where the other party was located, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly turned off the video.
Where did that girl go? Xiao Hua felt that this matter was very strange.
At this time, someone knocked on the door, which startled Xiaohua and almost jumped out of the chair, he thought, should she come to me? But we don't know each other.
He went to open the door with trepidation, and the door opened, and there was a drunken father standing outside the door. Xiao Hua breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally felt relieved. However, his father glared at him as if he did not know him, and heard him say with a big tongue, "I'm sorry, miss, I went to the wrong door." β
3. Let's go home
Papa lives in a community, according to the old people, this community used to be a cemetery, when the community was built, many graves were moved, but there are still countless ownerless graves that have been bulldozed and left, so there are many lonely ghosts and ghosts in this community. Papa didn't feel anything during the day, but at night she was terrified.
One night there was a thunderstorm, a lightning flashed, and a human face suddenly appeared on the window, Papa was almost frightened to death, and quickly woke up her boyfriend next to her, and said to him: "There is someone in the window, go outside and take a look, is it a thief who wants to enter the door?" "Papa said this on purpose, if it was a ghost, the boyfriend wouldn't go out.
The boyfriend got up and went out. But I didn't come back for a long time.
Papa was even more frightened, and she got out of bed with the courage to slowly come to the door and open itγγγγγγ
There's a little girl outside the door? Under the light of the lamp at the door, you can clearly see the appearance of the little girl, three or four years old, with two pigtails and red cheeks. Papa thought the kid was dressed a little strangely, so she said, "Kid, it's so late and it's raining, what are you doing here?" The little girl did not speak, and suddenly "eat" smiled at her, and said, "Eat, eat, eat, eat, don't eatγγγγγγ" Papa thought the child was very strange, and hurried into the house and closed the door.
She leaned against the door, covering her heart beating so hard that the knock on the door suddenly sounded, so frightened that Papa almost fainted, she looked into the cat's eye, how she wished her boyfriend was standing outside at this moment, but the door was empty. The knock on the door continued, "Who?" Papa's voice trembled. A little girl's voice sounded outside the door: "Mom, let's go home?" β
Papa wondered, what "mom", forget it, leave her alone. Papa turned around and prepared to go into the bedroom and wait for her boyfriend to come back, but! When she turned around, a woman in a white dress with black hair hanging in the airγγγγγγ

6. Hanged ghosts
This person is from Shandong, I forgot, went to university in Jinan. His home is at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain is not very high, and he often climbs the mountain. During the summer vacation of the year he graduated from high school, he fell out of love and was in a bad mood, and one day at three o'clock in the afternoon, he went to climb the mountain, and he usually came back at four o'clock. When he was going down the mountain, he took another path, and as he walked, he suddenly saw a dead man hanging from a tree on the hillside, and he was very frightened, and ran desperately down the mountain, but he could not reach the bottom of the mountain without knowing how to run, and the more he ran, the more difficult it became to breathe. But under the fear, he didn't think so much, and kept running, running until γγγγγγ college couple who also came to climb the mountain to go home passed by, looked at him strangely, and said, What are you doing? When he saw someone, he was not so afraid, and said, "There are dead people!" Run! The couple laughed and said, "Then why are you standing still?" When he heard this, he was stunned and said, "Impossible." After saying that, he ran harder, and this time he quickly ran to the foot of the mountain. The couple also ran down the hill, looking very flustered, presumably seeing the hanged man. The three of them went back together.
The man went back thinking about the strange things that happened on the mountain. In the evening, my girlfriend came, crying with tears in her eyes, saying that she was still reluctant to him, and that the end of middle school did not mean that the relationship was over. This person was very happy, hugged his girlfriend and didn't let go, and the things on the mountain were thrown out of the clouds. The girlfriend raised her head from his arms and looked at him affectionately, and suddenly, her eyes widened, touched his neck and said, "Don't you want to do stupid things?" He heard it in a fog, and he didn't know what she was talking about, but his girlfriend brought him the mirror to show him, and he looked into the mirror and found that he had a crimson strangulation mark on his neck!
He suddenly understood why he was having trouble breathing and was standing stillγγγγγγ
7. Lost skin
A good friend from high school is in medical school, and A-Ying likes horror books, naturally likes some strange things, and every time she gets together, she pesters this classmate to tell her about human anatomy, and listens with interest while being scared. One day, this friend of Ah Ying simply cut off a piece of skin from the corpse in the laboratory and sent it to Ah Ying to satisfy her curiosity.
Ah Ying felt bad luck after seeing it, so she threw it away, because she watched it in the dormitory, and after throwing away the skin, a strange thing happened in the dormitory.
First of all, roommate A was the first to come back at night, saying that before she turned on the light, she seemed to see a person's shadow, but when she turned on the light, she didn't. Also, roommate B said that he heard someone walking around in the middle of the night.
Ah Ying and roommate C said that they were nervous. But one day, Ah Ying also felt that something was wrong, because her wardrobe and desk were messed up, Ah Ying thought there was a thief, but she didn't lose anything, and her wallet stayed in the closet on a pile of clothes, and not a single bill was lost.

A month later, A-Ying recovered, but she became a little demented, but it did not affect her self-care. She sat on a stool at the door of her house to bask in the sun, her former roommates came to visit her, on a hot day, her roommates were wearing short sleeves, but A-Ying was wearing long-sleeved, and her roommates thought she was so demented that she forgot that summer had come, so they told her, A-Ying, it was hot, and it was time to wear short sleeves.
