Chapter 9: The Blinded Eye

At the entrance of Ximen Street, I met Lu Jia, who told me that Zhang Bin had died and that she had come to attend his funeral.

At the intersection, I met Zhang Bin again, but Zhang Bin told me that Lu Jia died in the car that fell into the river last night.

These two old high school classmates appeared together and told me about each other's deaths, and my mind was confused, and I couldn't help but feel that they were discussing to play with me.

At the end of the drink, Zhang Bin was already drunk, I didn't tell him that I had met Lu Jia, but I told him that I was working at No. 101 Ximen Street. Zhang Bin persuaded me that it was haunted, and where did it matter if I made money again?

I was a little hesitant to be persuaded by him, on the one hand, considering the truth of what he said, the experience last night was too terrifying. On the other hand, I have already promised Sun Hong and taken his salary, if I don't follow his rules, something may happen.

Zhang Bin couldn't persuade me when he saw it, and he didn't insist anymore, so he asked me to be more careful.

I watched him pour himself another glass and said, "You drink less." ”

"It's okay, the wine is intimidating." Zhang Bin said drunkenly, "Shaozi, I see, I'll accompany you to see the store tonight." In case something happens to you, you can take care of it. ”

When I thought about it, this is a good feeling. In the middle of the night, I stayed in a paper shop full of dark products, and I had to wait for customers who didn't know whether they were people or ghosts to come to the door, not to mention how tormented it was.

If only someone could talk, five hours wouldn't be so difficult.

Seeing that I agreed, Zhang Bin made an appointment with me to meet at the entrance of Ximen Street in the evening to go to 'Yiyi Guan'.

It's rare for old classmates to meet, and I originally wanted to play with him in Hulukou for a day, but Zhang Bin said he still had something to do. I didn't insist, and it was almost eleven o'clock when I parted from him in front of the store.

When I got home, I found today's latest newspaper, with the headline Donghua Market news and a photo of a van hoisted from a river bridge.

There were seven people in the car, and no one survived.

When I saw this paragraph, I panicked, although the identity and names of the seven people had not been clarified in the report, Lu Jia's face had already lingered in my mind.

What Zhang Bin said is true.

I tossed and turned on the bed, thinking of Lu Jia I saw in the morning, if it was the last time, I would have more regret than fear.

I lay in bed for a long time, dazed, and didn't sleep much, until the alarm clock at ten o'clock woke me up.

At night, the entrance of Ximen Street was quiet and dark, and there was no half of a figure in sight. All shops were closed, except for the one with the 'hostel' lightbox lit up.

Zhang Bin and I met at the agreed place, and as soon as he saw me, he smiled and greeted me and said, "Why are you here so late?" Drunk it in the morning? ”

"I haven't drunk it for a long time, it's a bit of a head." I smiled and didn't tell Zhang Bin about the news report.

Zhang Bin didn't ask much, so he walked with me to the paper shop.

I found that Zhang Bin is quite familiar with Ximen Street, which is an old street left over from the Qing Dynasty and has a history of hundreds of years. Not counting the newly built houses and newly built roads, the old streets that extend in all directions are also like a labyrinth.

I, a native of Hulukou, don't dare to say that I know this street thoroughly, but Zhang Bin is as familiar as his own back garden.

Walking and walking, it became him to lead the way in front of my eyes.

After a while, a well-dressed paper shop appeared at the end of the road, and in the dark night, this old shop looked particularly secluded.

Zhang Bin turned around and smiled at me and said, "This is it, right?" I remember there was such a shop here. ”

"That's right, how do you know Ximen Street so well?" I asked, confused.

Zhang Bin said: "I'll tell you about this later, they all say that Ximen Street is haunted at night, you open the door first, and we'll go in and talk about it." ”

I nodded, after all, the time to open the store was almost up.

Zhang Bin walked over to the edge of the shop first, and I took out the key and walked forward. At that moment, a cold hand suddenly grabbed my arm from behind and pulled me back.

️ The force was so great that I was so defenseless that I was almost dragged to the ground.

"Who?" I looked behind me with some annoyance, but I didn't expect someone standing behind me.

Wearing a long dress with a blue and white gradient, her hair tied with a purple ribbon, and her eyes are clear and smart, as if she can speak.

"Look at what? Squinting, I already knew I wouldn't save you. Maybe I looked at her for too long, and the girl raised her eyebrows in displeasure, but what she said made me a little strange.

"Help me?" I scratched my head in confusion, won't I just go through the door?

"What? Haven't reacted yet? The girl sneered, took out a small silver bell from her pocket and shook it in front of my eyes, and a light fragrance drilled into my nostrils, which instantly woke me up.

Crash.

At this moment, the sound of the water waves came to my ears, and I was stunned to find myself standing in the reed pond, surrounded by reeds as tall as one man, and most of my legs had stepped into the water.

Behind him is the dark river, where is the shadow of the paper shop and Zhang Bin?

If the girl hadn't stopped me, I would have walked further into the deep water!

"I'm here... What's going on? I was stunned and looked at the girl in front of me in disbelief and asked.

"Are you sure you're going to stand in the river and talk to me?" The girl snorted, turned and went ashore first, and I saw that she had also walked into the reed pond with half her legs in order to pull me, and the ends of her skirt were a little soaked with water.

I haven't figured out what happened yet, but the sight of the dripping skirt made me feel a little guilty.

Going up the riverbank, I twisted the water on my trouser leg and continued to ask the question I had just asked.

The girl glanced at me and said, "I don't know what you see, but it seems to me that you are just talking to yourself and walking into the river." The water has not reached my waist and there is no reaction at all, if I hadn't passed by here and had good intentions, you would be floating on the river tomorrow morning! ”

"Ghost hitting the wall?" I said subconsciously.

The girl shook her head: "It's not a ghost hitting the wall, it's called a ghost." Ghost hitting the wall makes you lose your sense of direction, and ghost eye makes you see only what it wants you to see. ”

As she spoke, she glanced up and down at me a little curiously: "Look at your politeness, have you also done anything bad before you were asked for your life?" ”

"I didn't do anything!" The inexplicable suspicion made me can't help but clarify excitedly, my mind was a mess, and I couldn't figure out what was going on.

How could Zhang Bin be a ghost? Or is there a ghost who wants to harm me with Zhang Bin's appearance?

"Hmph, whatever you want, it has nothing to do with me." The girl snorted, looked around and asked, "Really, the car came too late, and there wasn't even a person to ask for directions... That fool, do you know how to get around a paper shop called 'Yiyi Yiguan'? ”

"What are you doing in a 'piece of paper'?" I was still thinking about Zhang Bin and Lu Jia, and when I subconsciously said a word, a flash of lightning flashed in my mind.

Wait, 'a piece of paper'?

"What time is it?" I quickly took out my phone, and the time on the screen showed 10:45!

There are only 10 minutes left until the store opens!

"That's my business, you ask... Why are you running so fast? The girl in the white dress didn't want to answer me, but when she saw me take out her mobile phone and look at it, she immediately turned around and ran, and chased after her curiously, "Are you working in a piece of paper?" ”

Where am I in the mood to answer her right now? 'A piece of paper clothes' is clearly a haunted shop, according to the rules, there may be no accidents, if you don't follow Sun Hong's rules, maybe something terrible will happen!

I wanted to go home and change my pants, but now I could only run and panting, and in ten minutes I ran to the fastest speed of my life, and finally arrived at the door of the 'paper dress' at 10:55.

At night, the cold moonlight sprinkled in the air, shining on the plaque 'a piece of paper clothes' these four vigorous and powerful characters, the copper bell hung under the plaque, will ring at any time.

I almost broke my leg for ten minutes, and now I gasped for a dog in the doorway with my hands on my knees, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, took the key out of my pocket and opened the door.

"Huh? Are you really from this store? Then the crisp voice sounded behind me with surprise, and I was so frightened that I saw that the girl in the white dress had been following me.

"You... Looking for a piece of paper, something? "There have been so many things happening in the past two days, and I can't help but be a little more vigilant in the face of this girl who is obviously looking for a piece of paper.

The girl didn't answer me directly, the white and cold moonlight shone on her, making her pretty face look a little cold.

She looked up at the plaque in the paper shop, then looked down at me, showed an inexplicable smile, and asked faintly, "Do you want to die, or do you want to live?" ”

When I heard this, my scalp tingled.

Another damn one?
