The apartment building where Wu Jinpeng lives is very dilapidated, at least 30 years ago.

The family of three was crammed into a twenty-square-meter hut with a toilet next to the kitchen and a curtain separating the room in the middle.

"It's a bit crowded, don't mind, I was going to wait for next month to change to a big house." As soon as Wu Jinpeng pushed open the door, a big yellow dog ran over with its tail wagging, it was very affectionate to Wu Jinpeng and Wu Sheng, but when it saw Chen Ge, it bared its teeth.

"Don't you mind, Rhubarb is a stray dog that has been driven away by many people, so he is not so enthusiastic about strangers, but after getting acquainted, you will find that Rhubarb is a very docile dog." Wu Jinpeng grabbed the hair on the top of Rhubarb's head and invited Chen Ge into the house.

The concrete floor is not paved with tiles, and there are a lot of things piled up, but they are all well organized, and although they are crowded, they do not give people a dirty feeling.

"Xiao Kun, the guest is here, go pour two cups of tea!" Wu Jinpeng shouted into the house, and a moment later the curtain was opened, and a young man who looked stupid and stupid walked out from behind the curtain with an electric fan.

"Fan!"

"Got it, you go pour tea for the guests first, and I'll fix the fan." Wu Jinpeng wanted to take the fan from the young man's arms, but the young man hid to the side, clinging to the broken fan.

"Fan!"

"Stinky boy, I'll buy you a new fan when I get paid." Wu Jinpeng looked at Chen Ge with some embarrassment: "This is my own brother, he had an accident when he was a child and suffered a head injury. You look at him very stubborn, in fact, he is very smart, my brother's grades in elementary school were very good, and he never fell out of the top ten in his grade. ”

The son can't speak, has a withdrawn personality, his younger brother has suffered a head injury, he is stupid and stupid, and life is difficult for Wu Jinpeng in every way, but Wu Jinpeng is still proud of his family.

Chen Ge admired such a person very much: "Brother Peng, I ordered some snacks on the way here, let's talk while eating, I have a lot of questions for you." ”

"Look at what you did, I must have invited you when you came to my house!"

"I'm here to trouble you, I have to ask for this meal."

The takeaway was delivered quickly, and in addition to the meal, Chen Ge also ordered a few bottles of wine.

The family sat on a cushion in the middle of the room, which was simple but extra welcoming.

Wu Sheng and Wu Jinpeng's younger brother didn't seem to have eaten so many dishes for a long time, and the two gobbled it up.

Seeing that the two of them were eating so happily, Wu Jinpeng's eyes softened a lot, and he picked up the wine glass on the table and poured it violently.

"Brother Peng, is that photo on the cabinet a group photo of your family?" Chen Ge pointed to the photo frame on the top of the wardrobe, which contained a group photo of three people, Wu Jinpeng standing in the center when he was young, his younger brother on the left, and a pregnant woman on the right.

"Well, that woman is Wu Sheng's mother, and she left after giving birth to Wu Sheng, but she is really a good woman, blame me for not being able to keep her." Wu Jinpeng smiled and drank another glass of wine: "Brother, I broke your bill today, if you want to ask, ask casually, brother, I know everything, this idiom is used like this, right?" ”

"Brother Peng, you are so bold, then I won't hide it." Chen Ge touched a glass with Wu Jinpeng again, and he lowered his voice: "Actually, the child of my relative's family is not the same as ordinary children, and he also has some special symptoms, I have been holding these words in my heart for a long time, and I don't know how to say them." ”

"You speak slowly, we're not in a hurry."

"You may not believe it either." Chen Ge leaned over to Wu Jinpeng: "Once I slept late and accidentally saw a door standing next to the child's bed. ”

While saying this, Chen Ge's eyes kept staring at Wu Jinpeng.

He saw very clearly that after Wu Jinpeng heard what he said, he was stunned for a moment.

"I was terrified, how could there be a door in the house for no apparent reason?" Chen Ge's brows furrowed, as if he still felt scared when he thought about it now: "I wanted to go over, but I woke up before I could get close to the child, and the door disappeared after he woke up." At first I thought it was my own hallucination, but the next night the door reappeared! ”

"Have you ever walked through that door?" Wu Jinpeng's subconscious inquiry made Chen Ge sure again that the other party definitely knew about the existence of the door.

Normally, when others hear such a strange thing, they will first question the authenticity. Even if you don't question it, the question should be related to the door, not directly asking if you have entered the door.

Wu Jinpeng asked this, indicating that he not only knew about the existence of the door, but even might have entered the door.

The two men looked at each other like this for a long time with wine glasses, Chen Ge first poured a sip of wine to suppress his shock, and then shook his head: "I haven't been in." ”

"That's good." Wu Jinpeng breathed a sigh of relief, he picked up the wine glass, but before his lips could touch the wine, he heard Chen Ge's voice.

"What about you?"

The arm holding the wine glass froze in mid-air, and it took a while for Wu Jinpeng to react, and he got up and closed the door and window.

"Brother, come here." Wu Jinpeng beckoned to Chen Ge, and they lifted the curtain and came to the other side of the room, where there was a single bed and a mat on the ground: "Usually Wu Sheng sleeps in the bed, and my brother Wu Kun and I sleep in the living room, and there is a curtain in the middle. ”

"Probably since a few days ago, Wu Sheng always turned over when he slept at night, as if he couldn't sleep well. I didn't pay attention to it at first, but one time at twelve o'clock in the evening, Wu Sheng began to turn over again, so I looked over there and found that there was a dark shadow behind the curtain! ”

Wu Jinpeng waved his hands, very excited: "Just like what was played on TV, I quietly walked over, and when I opened the curtain, I found Wu Sheng looking at me with his eyes open." ”

"I squatted for several days in a row, and finally saw the true face of the black shadow of Lushan, just like you said, it was a door, a door standing in the dark."

"As long as the lights are turned on, or Wu Sheng wakes up, the door will disappear."

"Whoever has such a door in the house must be afraid, I was ready to go in the door the day before yesterday, but I can't open the door, it's very annoying!"

Wu Jinpeng sat on the bed: "I didn't dare to tell others about this, I was afraid that they would think I was abnormal." ”

"You can't push it away alone, why don't we try it together tonight?" Chen Ge's frowning brows slowly relaxed: "It just so happens that my family also has this situation, how about our two families help each other, how about huddling together to keep warm?" ”

"Yes, yes, but I'm afraid that you will be in danger."

"It's okay, it's better for the two of us to take care of each other than to face danger alone."

"Brother, you're so good, I don't know what to say."

"It should." It was dangerous behind the door, Chen Ge promised to be with Wu Jinpeng, but the moment he entered the door, he would stop Wu Jinpeng and go in alone.

"Let's eat and drink enough, let's do it in the evening."

solved one thing smoothly, Chen Ge now admires Wu Jinpeng more and more, and he is even thinking that if the other party is really in difficulty, he can come to work in his haunted house in the future.
