Volume 1 The Quicksand Mystery Chapter 3 The Black Figure

I stared at the end of the corridor and said in a trembling voice, "Fatty, there seems to be a black figure in the middle of the corridor, always moving towards us!" Who would have thought that a black figure would suddenly appear in the empty corridor, but fortunately, there was a fat man behind him, and the fat man waved his hand: "Are you dazzled!" Where are there any figures! ”

Hearing the fat man say this, I made up my mind, and then took out the matchbox on my body, and as soon as the soles of my feet were straight, I smashed it towards the position of the black figure, and the matchbox flew in a straight route, I thought it would fall in front of the black figure, but in the next second, the matchbox actually passed through the body of the black figure, and fell not far behind the black shadow with a snap, and I couldn't help but feel numb in my back, and there were several layers of goosebumps.

I saw that the black shadow was getting closer and closer to us, and a trace of fear oozed from my heart, that thing was a little evil, it seemed to have no substance, in front of the open door, the fragmentary light could not illuminate the whole picture of the thing, only that thing could be seen, and it was moving towards me and the fat man little by little.

The fat man was startled when he saw me, and hurriedly shouted: "What's the matter, why bother, what did you see, throw the matchbox and eat enough?" Before the fat man finished speaking, he shook his head at me, and before I could take a closer look at the night, the fat man pulled me hard and dragged me downstairs, and the fat man must have a reason for doing so, and I didn't care about guessing anything, so I ran down the stairs with two steps and one step to the bottom.

As soon as I ran to the bottom of the building, the fat man and I heard a bang from upstairs, the sound was extremely weird, it seemed to be the sound of slamming the door with all our might, I and the fat man looked at each other, and then ran downstairs under the plane tree, the fat man and I looked up and immediately looked upstairs, but we never thought that the original window that was almost falling off was also closed, and it was covered by something black from the inside, and the black thing seemed to be sticking to the whole window and squirming.

I stood in place with the fat man for a while, until a bicycle rattle quickly drove in front of me, I regained my spirits, the fat man looked at me and reacted, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, everything came too suddenly, although the fat man was in the corridor, he didn't seem to see the black figure, but when he pulled me downstairs, he must have realized the danger of that thing.

I coughed twice, looked at the fat man and said, "Let's go, it's all down, what are you waiting for, waiting for someone to invite you up for dinner?" So saying, he walked quickly to the other end of the alley.

When the fat man heard this, he muttered: "It's too fucking evil, I run fast with hard work, how can there be such an evil place in this scissors alley, I feel uncomfortable with the cold wind." After the fat man finished speaking, he shook his body and snorted.

I and the fat man just want to leave this place quickly, no one knows what will happen in the next second, we didn't speak along the way, until we almost arrived at the door, I saw a shop called "Yongming Bun Shop" is still greeting customers, the fat man smelled the fragrance of the buns, the stomach instantly screamed, I haven't eaten anything for a day, so I simply beckoned the fat man to go in and eat something to warm up the body.

This shop is not big, the fat man has eaten here once before, and then he felt that he was not hungry at all when he only ate steamed buns and porridge, so he did not come again, there are three guys in the store, who are responsible for bookkeeping, greeting guests and cooking, the faΓ§ade is not big, there are only three or four tables in it, fortunately, there is still a place, only one table just sat down a child and the elderly.

As soon as I stepped into the threshold of the store, the guy in the store walked over, his age was about the same as mine, and he said with a smile: What do you two eat, there are steamed buns, porridge, and steamed buns..." The Mandarin spoken by the shop guys is still relatively standard, Nanjing as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, when the capital of Nanjing, the emperor and the palace personnel all spoke the official language, and the common people did not learn it, for a long time, with the development of the times, the dialect is almost the same as the official language.

The fat man didn't wait for the guy to finish, so he waved his hand directly and said, "You don't need to introduce it, I have eaten here once, just have four cages of meat buns and two bowls of porridge." ”

As soon as the guy walked away, I looked at the fat man and said, "Do you believe there is such a thing in this world?" ”

The fat man knew what I was talking about, and after a little thought, he said, "If what happened just now makes sense, I don't believe it, and I still feel a chill in my back." ”

I nodded and said, "I'll find out something when I ask." I took advantage of the situation to move my eyes to the guy in the shop just now, looked at the guy and said, "Man, are you okay yet?" ”

"Alright, alright, this is for you." The shopkeeper said while busy with the work in his hands.

As soon as the shopkeeper came up, I grabbed him and said with a smile: "Man, let me ask you something, do you know about the old house at the mouth of Scissors Alley?" ”

As soon as the shop guy heard what I said, his face immediately became ugly, and I saw that it didn't seem easy to want him to say it, so I took out a 20 note and stuffed it into his hand: "We're just curious, we like to write some small stories, you see......."

The guy didn't refuse, took the money and sat down: "I think you may have just lived here, in fact, this whole Scissors Alley is quite good, except for the old house at the end of the alley, since that incident, we have never taken that road." ”

The fat man and I looked at the shopkeeper while eating, and the shopkeeper leaned on the table with his hands crossed and continued: "It all started two years ago, at that time, the house was still rented to some people who worked outside, and there were many people coming and going in the alley, so it was naturally very lively, until one day, an old lady suddenly disappeared mysteriously, and since then, the tenants who live there can often smell an extremely pungent smell, and some people say that it is the smell of corpses, which scares away several waves of people. But no one can find the source of the smell, sometimes the smell will disappear suddenly, in the dead of night, the doors and windows of the house, will suddenly open or close from time to time, normal people can stand this kind of stimulation, this back and forth, the people who originally lived there also moved out one by one, and then the head of the household changed the floor of the house or something, or the same, simply the head of the household nailed some very pungent smell of the room and sealed it, but it still didn't help, the smell became heavier and heavier, Some of the brave people passed by there, and they turned back because they couldn't bear it, and finally it became an abandoned house. ”

I put down the bun in my hand and looked tentatively at the shopkeeper: "Do you know that's all?" ”
