Chapter 19: The sound of knocking on the wall

As soon as I heard this, I immediately refreshed myself and asked her, "What?" Do you know this crying sister? ”

The little girl didn't say she knew, nor did she say she didn't know, but she cried a few times in the tone and rhythm of adult crying, and then stuck out her tongue mischievously and asked me: "Do you cry like this, crying every night, crying is very sad." ”

"That's right! You know her, don't you? ”

Although the voice of the little girl is not very similar, the tone of crying is too similar, it is the perfect children's version of the crying scene, and even the miserable and unjust feeling is exactly the same.

But the little girl didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the store, and disappeared.

The next day, I followed Master Zhao to work in the factory as usual. Now I don't just do the simple work of moving boxes and unpacking them, the old man surnamed Zhao has begun to teach me to cut some simple daily necessities with paper.

I can't make clothes and the like for the time being, but things like pots and pans, towels, soap, and other things with regular shapes and simple structures can already be cut by me. Don't underestimate these things, wait for the ghost to buy them, there are few things that can be won for one or two hundred yuan, and the bow that the little girl bought yesterday is simply the grade of a two-dollar store.

I told Master Zhao that I wanted to learn the Dao, and he asked me what I was doing to learn the Dao, did he want to use the Dao to kill Chen Jiaqiang?

I said yes.

Master Zhao said: "Then don't use it, Chen Jiaqiang himself will die, and when you have a successful Taoism, there will be no bones left in his early rot." ”

Then I said that I wanted to use it for self-defense, and if there were ghosts that hurt me in the future, I wouldn't have to bother others.

Master Zhao said, "Sooner or later, I will teach you, but it's not time yet." ”

When I asked when I would start teaching, he ignored me again.

In fact, there has always been a woman crying at night in the hotel, and I have told Master Zhao before, but Master Zhao just replied to me very perfunctorily: "I have never lived in that hotel, and I have never heard anyone say that there are ghosts crying." ”

I don't know if he really doesn't know him, or if he doesn't want to say it, so I didn't ask him directly about the female ghost crying at night this time, but asked him: "What the hell was the little girl who bought a dress that day and didn't have enough money?" Didn't you ask her about the murderous ghost baby before? ”

Master Zhao said, "She's not a ghost, she's just a rat cultivating in the graveyard behind, called Hao Yan." Usually pick up some leftover sacrifices from others to live, so you see that other ghosts are not bad for money, and her life is so tight. Fortunately, she also picked up the stuttering, and she didn't cause trouble, nor did she gnaw on the coffin or anything like that, and she was quite honest, so everyone let her stay here. And rats can go anywhere, there are a lot of them, and sometimes they can help inquire about something, so I don't want to embarrass her too much. To put it bluntly, she is a beggar, picking up some alms in places where ghosts live. ”

Master Zhao has also told me before that they usually find one that is somewhat related to themselves among the human surnames and use it as their surname. For example, the fox Chengjing is generally surnamed Hu, the weasel Chengjing is generally surnamed Huang, the snake is also called the long worm so the surname is Chang, and the mouse is also called the mouse, which takes the sound of consumption, so the surname is Hao.

The name Hao Yan feels quite suitable for that little girl, but it is such a clean and beautiful little girl, and a little pitiful, I really can't associate her with the words beggar and mouse.

She doesn't have a lot of money, and she's good at inquiring, which is what I need most at the moment.

I cut out a lot of toys and snacks out of paper, and I planned to ask her when she came back next time, but I didn't see the little girl come for several night shifts. I don't know if she's short of things to use, or if she doesn't have any money in hand. And the female ghost in the hotel still cried every night, asking nothing, just crying.

I was so annoyed by her crying that I tried all kinds of things, covering my ears, and even putting headphones on the music loudly, but it didn't work, even if I couldn't even hear the thunder, I could still hear the ghost crying, and it felt like she was crying in my head.

It's really annoying, the lack of sleep makes me start to be irritable, and when I practice driving, I almost crush a wild dog that suddenly rushes out. Since listening to Master Zhao talk about Hao Yan, I have become afraid to kill, who knows if these animals wandering around will be spirits with spirits. But I will still eat the meat, and the pork that is now sold in the supermarket and slaughtered in three months will never have any soul.

Later, I really had no choice, so I went to the owner of the hotel to transfer a room for me, and I had also looked for him for a female ghost crying at night, but he refused to admit that there was such a thing, and said that near the City God Temple, let me stop talking nonsense, scaring other guests is small, and it will be terrible to offend the City God.

This time I went to him, and I didn't mention the ghost crying again, just said that there might be cockroaches in that room, and asked him to change it for me.

The boss said that it was impossible to have cockroaches, but still agreed to change the room for me, just told me: "It's empty now, only 102, next to the grocery room, it may be a little noisy at night, if you want, you can change it." ”

I just asked him to change it for me, what kind of noise can it be, the one I live in now is noisy all night.

There was no ghost crying in 102, and I slept very comfortably after lying down, but I didn't sleep for long, and I woke up inexplicably. Because of my previous experience of being knocked on the wall in the dormitory, I immediately looked at the walls on all sides vigilantly and did not dare to sleep again.

Bang bang bang, the sound of knocking on the wall is really here. I'll go, I'm excited, and sit straight out of bed, and the voice is still following me.

I picked up my phone and wanted to call the innkeeper, but I gave up after thinking about it, the boss had already told me in advance, next to the utility room, it would be a little noisy, this knocking on the wall, he would definitely say that it was normal for various reasons.

I've seen dozens of ghosts now, and I've developed a bit of guts, so I jumped out of bed and was about to knock on the door next door. But as soon as I arrived in the hallway, my hand had not yet knocked on the door of 101, when suddenly a little girl ran over and hugged my legs, dragging me to prevent me from getting close to 101.

I was startled, and I looked down to see that there was a little girl, a little mouse, biting at my trouser legs, desperately trying to pull me back. Could it be that this is Hao Yan's relative? Hurriedly lowered his head and asked, "You don't want me into this room, do you?" ”

The little mouse didn't let go, just raised his head, stared at me with two little eyes without blinking, and made a squeaking sound in his mouth. The animal can't speak, and I can't read its eyes, so I'm in a hurry, but I can't communicate.
