Chapter 23 Li Xiaoxiao
After that lame lunch, I had a general idea of the whole story.
He rented a haunted house with a female college student named Li Xiaoxiao, and then Li Xiaoxiao kept making trouble with Zhang Liang, and the plots in the horror stories were just Cheng Long's literary processing.
The account asks me to go find this Li Xiaoxiao to go back, but the problem now is that Li Xiaoxiao has not understood this life, so I can't just kidnap him and go to the dead man's pile.
But now that I've finally got her specific information, I should have reached out to her first. If the little girl leaves the house and leaves, it will be difficult to find her again. So after that lunch, I asked Zhang Liang to take me to the girl.
At first, Zhang Liang was really reluctant in every way, but he gave in under my nearly two hours of hard work. At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Liang and I appeared at the door of the "haunted house".
This is a small courtyard, and the location of this small courtyard is quite strange. On the left side of the courtyard are rows of residential areas, on the right side are two new strata complexes, and in front of it is a road with a college on the opposite side. It can be said that the surrounding houses are densely intertwined, but only this one house is "excluded" in the right.
As a rule, facing a school, and then the left and right sides are either meals or entertainment venues, this unique courtyard can really be said to be a prime location. And according to this Zhang Liang, the female college student has not made trouble with her since he resigned, so I think there should be no "strange thing" in the story in this house.
After all, as the old saying goes, people die like lights go out, where can there be so many evil spirits. I was standing at the door and thinking, but Zhang Liang suddenly patted me on the shoulder and said, "What are you suddenly in a daze, you don't go in when you get to the place?" ”
I shook my head and smiled, "I'm sure I'm going to get in, but ...... But are you sure you want to follow me in, too? ”
Zhang Liang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I finally got rid of this ancestor, and I won't add fuel to the fire." ”
Zhang Liang withdrew, and I stood in front of the red door and hesitated for a long time, but I still chose to knock on the door. After a few gentle taps on the door panel, I heard a crisp sound of footsteps coming from inside. But it was just footsteps, and it didn't come to open the door for me.
I tried knocking lightly on the door a few more times, but there was still no movement inside. And just when I thought it was my auditory hallucination, and there was no one inside, a slow, low voice sounded from behind me.
"Who are you looking for?"
I turned my head and saw an old woman with white hair.
"I'm looking for Li Xiaoxiao...... Do you know her? ”
I said that, but I saw a flash of light suddenly flash in the old lady's eyes. However, the glimmer of light quickly sank, and after a while, she coughed lightly and said, "Li Xiaoxiao, I don't know...... But the room has been empty for a long time. ”
"Is this room always empty?"
The old lady looked at me with disdain and said, "Yes, I live in the next village, and I have never heard of anyone in this house, so I'm afraid you're in the wrong place, so get out of here." ”
I saw that the old lady's expression was wrong, and after a few casual words, I turned and retreated to the side of the road. When the old lady saw that I was leaving, she limped on crutches into the nearby village.
Although I don't know what this old lady is about, I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. After all, Zhang Liang will definitely not lie to me, he is sure that Li Xiaoxiao lives here, but there is no intersection between me and this old lady, and she doesn't need to lie to me.
After seeing the old lady disappear from my vision, I turned back to the red-painted door. The gate looks pretty clean, and if it hadn't been inhabited for a long time, the wooden gate would have been dilapidated.
I took a deep breath, and was about to keep knocking, when the red door in front of me suddenly opened from the inside. I subconsciously took a step back, only to see a girl in a goose yellow dress standing in the doorway.
The sudden appearance of this girl in front of me really startled me. I looked closely at the girl in front of me, with a goose egg face, typical baby fat looked particularly cute. A pair of black eyes were just right on her face, and she grinned at me, and that smile looked particularly moving.
"You...... Who are you looking for? ”
I came back to my senses and smiled, "Oh...... You're Li Xiaoxiao, right? ”
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Yes, is there something wrong with you?" ”
I looked around and smiled, "What's inside...... I...... Can I go in and talk to you? ”
She looked at her wrist and said, "Okay, but I have an appointment at half past five, so I'm afraid you'll have to hurry." ”
With that, she retreated into the courtyard. And just as I was about to follow her into the door, I suddenly saw the old lady standing across the road staring at me through my peripheral vision.
I couldn't see the old lady's face because of the distance, but I could still imagine her cloudy eyes. Li Xiaoxiao lives in this courtyard at this time, why did she lie to me?
The old lady was there staring at me all the time, looking at me very uncomfortable. I shuddered, and walked briskly into the courtyard. When I walked into this courtyard, I realized that this courtyard was not square.
It is an irregular quadrilateral, and the most interesting thing is that the house does not sit on the north and faces south, but three rooms facing northwest. The yard is very clean, and it seems that Li Xiaoxiao should be able to clean it often.
There was an iron railing at the door of the house, and as I stepped up the steps, I was suddenly mixed with something. I subconsciously grabbed the railing, only to find that there was a thick layer of dust on the railing. I looked at the layer of dust in my hand, and at this time Li Xiaoxiao also opened the door.
"It's dark in the house." With that, she walked straight into the room.
As I walked into the house, I was greeted by a strong floral scent, a pungent scent that reminded me of the perfume in the little cart.
I frowned slightly, but saw Li Xiaoxiao leaning on the sofa and smiled at me, "I also just moved here, and this house has not been inhabited for a long time, and there is a particularly musty smell, so I spray a lot of perfume into the house every time I go out." ”
I nodded slightly, and sat down on the couch to observe everything in the room.
