Text 099 You shouldn't be here
We came to the dilapidated iron doorway, where a pair of small black old-fashioned women's leather shoes sat on the tattered shoe rack, and a pair of gray cloth shoes on it.
On the balcony of the corridor outside, there are still a few potted plants, and the green branches and leaves give the lifeless third floor a lot of life.
Other homes are also closed, but only this one can make us feel the breath of some people.
I stood at the door, and I wanted to raise my hand and knock on the door, but my hand froze in the air, and I didn't know what to do.
Because we were in a hurry, if the old woman was at home, how should I explain to her why I had come to visit?
I haven't even thought about what I want to say, and if I am reckless, will I leave a bad impression on the old woman.
An Ning knocked on the door before me and gave me a look.
As if to tell me: leave everything to me. This made me even more worried, and I was very worried about the reaction she gave me at the property just now, and I was very worried about leaving this matter to her.
"Knock knock."
She knocked on the door, and we stood in the doorway, waiting with bated breath.
For a long time, no one came to open the door for us, and no one heard from inside the door.
Not at home?
I glanced at An Ning strangely, didn't I say that the old woman's legs and feet were not good, I listened to the words described by the neighbor's aunt yesterday, this old woman has been staying at home all the year round.
Are you still sleeping?
An Ning still didn't give up, knocking on the door, but my eyes saw a rusty doorbell button next to the door, and I pressed the button with luck.
I heard a low and piercing bell coming from inside, like the sound of a doorbell half broken and half not broken, very ugly.
On this quiet floor, it is particularly harsh and loud.
I thought I'd give it a try, but I didn't expect the doorbell to really work.
Nowadays, almost no one in apartments and residential areas has a doorbell at the entrance, and if a guest visits, they will definitely be able to hear the knock on the door, so there is no need to install a doorbell.
Just as the bell rang, I could vaguely hear someone on the other side of the door shuffling towards the door.
"Who?"
A hoarse old voice came from the other side of the door, and An Ning hurriedly said, "We...... Granny, we want to come to you to know something. ”
Unbeknownst to him, the old man had no intention of opening the door, and an old voice came: "I don't have anything you want to know here." ”
Hearing her say this, I suddenly came back to my senses, and when I heard the footsteps at the door about to leave, I couldn't help but pounce on the door, and said excitedly: "Old woman, we really have something urgent, and we want to ask." ”
The footsteps didn't stop, getting softer and farther away, and finally I couldn't help it, raised my voice and said, "Did a newlywed couple come to you yesterday?" ”
Suddenly, the footsteps on the other end of the door stopped, and then the old woman walked towards the door again, and the pace was very slow, and the rhythm was so strange that she knew by hearing alone that her legs and feet were inconvenient.
She opened the door, and the appearance of the people in the room appeared before the eyes of me and An Ning.
The flower cloth shirt was worn on the old man's body, his hair was silver and white, his face was wrinkled, time had left marks in the corners of her eyes, and on her thin hands, only a layer of old skin was attached to the back of her hand, and obvious old age spots could be seen on her cheeks and forehead.
She glanced at us with vicissitudes and chaotic eyes, opened the door, and turned to walk inside.
"Come in first."
She walked in one hand with a cane, dragging her steps in, to my surprise, I thought that the home of the elderly living alone was very dim, but I didn't expect that after entering the door, the bright living room made some of the gloom in my heart be dispelled a lot.
On a small old table there was a radio babbling the sound of Peking Opera, and I saw a stack of newspapers next to it, one of which was half open, and a pair of reading glasses were placed on it.
"You shouldn't be here."
As if she knew something, she sighed, sat back on the bamboo and rattan chair, nestled in, and looked at us with a complicated expression.
"The slippers are in the cabinet next to them, so I can change them myself."
We were worried when we heard the old woman add, and with some restraint she took out her slippers and changed them.
When An Ning heard her sigh, she seemed to understand something in her heart, and ran to her eagerly: "Old woman, my cousin and cousin-in-law really came to you, right?" Where are they now? I haven't been able to contact them since last night! ”
The old man grabbed the cane in his hand and touched it twice, his expression was very gloomy.
I noticed that after seeing the old man's expression, An Ning had a temper attack again, stopped her in time, comforted her for a while, and looked at the old woman seriously: "Mother-in-law, we are also looking for people's hearts, see your reaction, there is no denial, it seems that the couple came to you yesterday." ”
"I don't know what happened in Room 402, and we don't have the heart to investigate, I just hope you can tell us where An Yu and Situ Jing went after they left here?"
The old woman sighed a little helplessly, picked up her reading glasses, and her voice changed.
"They went to 402."
"How is that possible!" An Ning shouted in horror, it's not that Room 402 has been uninhabited, and the owner has never shown up, if they go to Room 402, they will definitely not be able to enter, so where did they go?
The old woman's hand holding reading glasses trembled a little, and she said in a hoarse voice, "I have the key to room 402." ”
An Ning and I were stunned by her words! Before I could speak, the old woman pointed to the sofa next to us and said, "Sit down, do you want to hear my story?" ”
To be honest, now we are looking for people's hearts, and it is not now that we want to listen to stories or something.
However, I don't think the old woman is the kind of person who doesn't know the current affairs, and she is telling us to calm down and listen to her story, most of which is related to room 402.
An Ning looked like she was about to turn around and go to room 402 to find someone, so I grabbed her and shook my head.
and motioned for her to sit down.
"If you want to blame this matter, blame me."
The old man leaned back in his chair, and his already old demeanor became even more decadent, feeling like a candle swept by the wind, and feeling like a ball of dead leaves, which would rot in the soil at any time and come to the end of his life.
"Actually, that house was bought by my son, at that time, my hometown was demolished, and everything in the house had to be moved, but there was no place to put it, so my son bought the house and stored some extra furniture."
"My ancestors made mirrors to make a living, and I heard my grandmother say that my ancestors made dressing mirrors for the royal concubines, but I never thought that there was a problem with the few mirrors left by my ancestors."
Mirror?
When I heard this, I couldn't help but grow my mouth and be surprised.
In fact, the role and status of the mirror in many horror movies are generally known to everyone.
The human eye cannot see the soul, but it can be projected into the human eye through the medium of the mirror, so that people can see the ghost.
Of course, ordinary lonely souls can't see it, but if it's a resentful spirit or an evil ghost, it may be possible for the living in the yang world to see it.
The mirror can not only reflect the ghosts and ghosts with a certain Taoism, it also has a function.
Legend has it that the mirror can record the traces of history, and all the things that happened in front of it, the mirror will record them, and once the time has passed, if the mirror has been there and has not been damaged, it will naturally leave some unclean things attached to it.
"Old woman! You know there's something wrong with those mirrors, so why do you want my cousin to go to 402! Why! ”
When An Ning heard this, she knew that this mother-in-law had the key to room 402, and An Yu and Situ Jing had been here, so do you still need to guess the result?
They're upstairs in apartment 402 right now! Absolute! Sure!
"Tranquility!"
I scolded her, no matter what, listen to this mother-in-law first, such emotionality will not only affect emotions, but also affect interpersonal relationships.
"Xiaohua! Don't stop me, I'm right, if it were you, your cousin, cousin-in-law is now in a deep crisis, life and death are uncertain, this mother-in-law knows that there are ancient mirrors left by her ancestors in that apartment, and she also knows that there is a problem with those mirrors, why should I let my cousin and them go on an adventure! ”
The more An Ning spoke, the more excited she became, and she was almost about to cry.
The old woman's Lian was even lowered, and her expression felt like she was dozens of years old, she looked like she was dying, her voice was soft, and she regretted: "When they came to see me, they told me that they were the descendants of a family of exorcists, and I was reluctant to give them the key, but they forced it, I thought, since they can exorcise ghosts, they will definitely be fine......"
"No matter how they can exorcise ghosts, they are also human! Not God! ”
An Ning's voice became louder and louder, I frowned, looking at the two of them, An Ning's face was already full of tears, and she burst into tears as she spoke, the old woman kept apologizing and regretting it, but at this moment, An Ning couldn't listen to a word.
"My feet are very inconvenient and I can't go upstairs, after I gave them the keys yesterday, they left, I thought they were taken care of and went home, and I didn't think much about it, if you didn't come to me today......"
She paused, looked at An Ning, and said apologetically: "Child, I asked you to sit down, just to tell the mirror about it, if you want to go, I still have a spare key here, remember, you must not look at the mirror, if your cousin and cousin-in-law are really trapped there, find someone and bring them out quickly." ”
"You must remember that you can't look in the mirror! Absolutely not! ”
She leaned back in the wicker chair, tilted her head slightly, and muttered, "I just didn't remind them of this yesterday, I didn't tell them about the mirror, that's why they ......"
When I heard this, I immediately got up from my seat, and the old woman got up on crutches and went to the back room, where she should go and get us the spare key.
I suddenly thought of Yang Yi! He should be in the city now, as he took the bus that day, and saw the place where he got off the bus, which was a neighborhood not far from my house.
He will set up an enchantment, it should be said that he inherited some of the family business of the Lejia, I don't have the ability to exorcise ghosts, I don't know Anning very well, even if she is proficient in learning the content of the book, she must not have practiced it.
If the two of us ventured in, not only would we not save anyone, but we would also put ourselves in it.
I immediately called Yang Yi and asked him to come here!
If he's here, our odds might be a little better!
