There was a portrait of an old lady on the table, and the old lady was smiling at me.

With a chill in my heart, I stepped back in some horror.

Smack-

At this time, the palm that had been dry was on my shoulder; Turning his head, it turned out to be an old man coming out of the back hall.

"What's wrong with you?" The old man looked puzzled.

"She... She ......, "I pointed to the statue on the table and stuttered a little.

The old man looked at the portrait and walked over and took out a red cloth to cover it.

"Don't you know if you can't keep staring at the portrait?"

"Yes, I'm sorry." I quickly admitted my mistake.

The old man saw that I had a good attitude, and handed me a wooden card, which was painted with something similar to a rakshasa, and there was a red dot on the forehead of the rakshasa, and the old man said that it was my drop of blood, and with it, ordinary dirty things did not dare to get close.

Before dawn, the old man instructed me something and told me to leave the shop with the wooden sign.

On the way, I looked at the wooden sign hanging around my neck and felt a little relieved.

When I got back to the rental house, my heart went to my throat again.

Outside the door of the rental house, there was a line of words written crookedly in blood:

"Don't think that finding that old thing will save your life."

When I saw these two lines, I unconsciously felt a chill in my neck.

Pushing open the door, on my bed, there was a shroud neatly arranged, placed in the same position as when I slept.

As the old man told me when he returned, I took the shroud downstairs to the intersection and burned it.

After doing all this, I also moved out of here as I was told to work in a factory in the easternmost part of Xuzhou.

I thought it was all over, but I realized that it had just begun.

It was the night of the seventh day I moved to my new apartment, and I had just finished using the toilet.

Just as I turned to walk out of the bathroom door, I was in front of a pale face.

"What the hell."

"You're a ghost, your whole family is a ghost."

Hearing the voice scolding me, I put my mind at ease, touched the wooden sign around my neck, and looked at the person in front of me.

This is a girl, I have seen her twice, she lives upstairs from me, it seems to be called Sun Min, she is very beautiful, she is too social, and she is with a group of gangsters all day long.

"Eh, you have a good wooden sign, so give it to me, right?"

Without waiting for me to agree, Sun Min snatched the wooden tag from my neck and ran away.

Although I really wanted to come over, I was also a little afraid that she would call someone to come and beat me; Anyway, it's a wooden sign, why don't you go to the old man tomorrow and ask for one?

Back in my room, I closed the door and prepared for bed.

Boom –

A muffled thunderclap rang out, followed by a flash of lightning that pierced the dark night sky.

"It's going to rain again."

With a mutter, I got up and went to close the window.

Standing in front of the window, another flash of lightning flashed through me, making my eyes white.

Then a face as white as paper appeared before my eyes, and as the lightning flashed, it disappeared again.

Rubbing my eyes, I reached down and closed the window.

Lying in bed, I can't sleep for a long time! The head was full of the grimace that suddenly appeared just now, and the wooden card had just been taken away, and it happened to this matter.

The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't sleep, so I sat up and lit a cigarette.

Knock Knock Knock –

There was a heavy knock on the door.

With a chill in my heart, I looked at my watch, and it was already half past eleven, who else would knock on the door?

"Who?" I had the courage to ask.

"It's me."

A heavy voice came, but it was familiar.

Pulling open the door, the old man stood outside the door with a black face, muttering something in his mouth.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

I don't know why, but I always felt that something was wrong with this old man.

The old man glanced at my room: "Cover the mirrors and everything that reflects the light." ”

My face turned pale, and I didn't dare to hesitate! Hurriedly took out his quilt and other things, and covered all the reflective things in the room.

When I walked into the room, the old man sat on the stool across from my bed, and his cloudy eyes were looking at me so directly.

I shuddered unconsciously, and said with a dry smile: "Uncle, it's so late, what's the matter?" ”

"This."

The old man raised his hand, and in his hand hung a wooden sign, exactly like the one I had been robbed of.

Reaching out to take the wooden card, I casually placed it on the table in front of me.

"Take it."

There was a hint of anger in the old man's dull voice.

I didn't dare to be disobedient, so I hurriedly brought it.

In this way, a smile appeared on the old man's face, but it was so stiff, as if he had glue on his face.

The old man came to me in the middle of the night to make me suspicious, and now he looks like this.

Thinking of this, I wanted to take out my bedside phone and reflect him with the screen.

Clicks–

The door opened, and a tall man poked his head out: "Dad, why are you here, you haven't come home so late." ”

The old man's face changed, and he said word by word: "I'll go home." ”

Watching the old man limp out, my face turned pale in an instant, even whiter than when I saw that face just now; Because the old man walked on tiptoe.

And what is it that walks on tiptoe? I don't dare to think about it anymore.

Looking at the wooden tag on my neck, I didn't dare to wear it, so I threw it directly at the door.

Hiding in the quilt, I survived the night.

The next day, I asked for leave from the factory and took a taxi to the shop in Dead Man's Street.

Inside the shop, there is a red coffin, and there are cobwebs on it.

When I got closer, a sweet-looking girl sat next to the coffin, it was the girl who snatched my wooden sign yesterday.

"Beauty." I walked over and said hello, "Is the owner of this shop there?" ”

"Do you have something to do with him? I'm his daughter. ”

"A little thing, where is he?"

"There."

Sun Min said, pointing to the red coffin.

"How is that possible? He went to look for me last night and gave me the wooden sign. My eyes widened.

"Looking for you? When did he go to you? And when did you leave? ”

"At about half past eleven last night, it was not yet twelve o'clock when he left, and a man told him to go, it should be your brother or your brother, right?"

"I don't have an older brother or a younger brother, I'm an only daughter." Sun Min glanced at me: "And he died ten days ago, what did you see last night?" And what was it that gave you the wooden sign? ”

After hearing this, my head short-circuited, the old man died ten days ago, so my wooden card?

Seeing that I was holding a wooden card in my hand, Sun Min reached out and grabbed it: "What is this thing for, don't you even know what you are doing?" ”

"This wooden sign isn't meant to ward off evil spirits?" I wondered.

"Stupid."

After Sun Min finished speaking, he walked into the shop.
