Chapter 42: The Windowless Bedroom
Our deceased aunt and grandmother are lying peacefully in the coffin.
Her face was ruddy, the corners of her mouth still looked slightly raised, and at first glance, it seemed that she was still breathing slightly, as if she was asleep.
She also had a faint amount of fat powder on her face, and a thin layer could still see the capillaries under the skin.
Except that her eyes are closed, her aunt's appearance at the moment is no different from that in the posthumous photo.
On my aunt's wrists, neck, and head, with the jewelry in front of her. These things have a unique style and beautiful design, and at first glance they are things that can only be taken out by large families.
Then, to my surprise with Tang Muzhou, my aunt was wearing a bright red dress.
The color of this dress is very gorgeous.
It is very inconsistent with the plain and elegant makeup of my aunt and grandmother.
It was like blood flowing in a vein, and its texture was simple and rough, made of the most ordinary red cloth, and the sewing process was not exquisite enough.
This dress, compared to the jewelry placed and worn by her side, is simply a world of difference.
Looking at the blood-colored red dress, I asked Tang Muzhou: "Why is the color of this dress so similar to what the female thief was wearing just now......
As he was talking, there was a sudden "boom" behind him.
It was a small voice, but it was clear to my ears.
Seeing that Tang Muzhou also turned around, I breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he also heard it, not auditory hallucinations.
We all looked at the corner of the cabinet where it had been placed, it was still quiet, and no one saw anyone.
Tang Muzhou touched my arm: "Xiaofan, why don't you go over and have a look?" ”
I hurriedly waved my hand: "I'm not going!" ”
"Then ......" he glanced at his aunt in the coffin, "you are guarding here, I'll take a look." ”
As I spoke, he was about to walk that way, and I grabbed his arm:
"No way!"
I don't want to be alone here anymore, I was guarding the coffin, and now I have to face a corpse.
Although it is his aunt, if there is any hallucination again, the aunt may really come out of the coffin.
I can't resist it.
"Tang Xiaofan, either you just go over and see what's going on, or you just stay here and guard your aunt and grandmother, there are just two of us in this mourning hall, you have to choose one."
What Tang Muzhou said makes sense.
If that person is really a thief, one of me and Tang Muzhou must stay here.
Tang Muzhou said again: "What are you afraid of, you just go over and take a look, just a few meters away, if something screams, I will jump over immediately." ”
Looking at the dark passageway, I was afraid.
I said, "Well...... Shall I go and see? ”
"Go ahead."
Walking to the cabinet, I opened my phone, and the passage in front of me was connected to the innermost door, which was supposed to be a small storage room.
This big house is really strangely designed.
The house, as well as the small house in the corridor, is crooked everywhere, no wonder the thief likes to visit so much.
Turning around, I glanced at Tang Muzhou again, who was standing in front of my aunt's coffin, beckoning me to enter.
After standing in front of the cabinet for a moment, I took a deep breath and strode inside.
After walking a few steps, I realized that the walkway was not too deep, and it was about ten meters away.
At the very back of the passage is a very small room, about four or five square meters. By the light of my phone, I saw a very small bed inside.
It looks like a bedroom, but it doesn't even have a window.
It was supposed to be converted with a storage room.
Only, who lives here?
When I talked to Tang Muzhou just now, I thought it would be scary when I came in, but when I was there, I felt that everything was not as terrifying as I imagined.
The room was so big, and I didn't notice anything when I turned around.
I wanted to leave, but as soon as I reached the door, I faintly heard a cry.
The sound is very shallow, like a child's voice.
I paused for a moment and looked into the room again. This room is a little bigger, except for the small bed, there is not even furniture, and there are other people.
Where did this voice come from?
The cry was small, intermittent, and it made my heart hairy.
I lay on the floor, and the light of my phone looked under the bed.
There was a mess under the bed, and when I leaned over and listened, I didn't feel like the sounds were coming from inside.
The search was fruitless, and I stood up.
The voice may have come from outside, I'll ask Tang Muzhou later to see if he heard.
If he didn't hear it, then maybe I was having another auditory hallucination.
After eating so many ghost black seeds, for a while, the effect of this medicine may not have completely dissipated.
In the meantime, if I hear something else, I don't have to make such a fuss.
When I got up, I exhaled heavily, and as soon as I turned around, I was startled!
In front of me, stood a woman in a red dress.
She was half a head taller than me, and under the light of her phone, she hung her head down, her hair covering her entire face, like a wall in front of me.
Everything became quiet, and the faint crying disappeared.
I gasped and felt like something was choking in my throat, and I couldn't make a sound.
After standing like this for a while, the woman in front of me suddenly reached out and touched my face lightly with her fingertips. Her fingers were cold, my scalp was numb, and my legs were like they were filled with lead.
The woman's hair was long and hung down in front of me, and I couldn't see what she looked like.
However, I can see very clearly the red dress she is wearing, and the texture and style are exactly the same as those of my aunt and grandmother in the coffin.
My forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
After a while, the woman in red withdrew her hand, and I heard her laugh quietly.
She still didn't say anything, and turned slightly.
The woman's movements seemed very soft, and when she walked, it was like stepping on cotton, and she didn't make a sound at all. At this moment, the wind that blew from nowhere raised the corners of her skirt slightly.
The light of the mobile phone shone on, and the bright red skirt was glowing with a layer of miserable white light.
Walking to the door, the woman paused, and she turned her head slightly, as if to look at me.
After that, she left.
At that moment, my body was much lighter.
Wiping the beads of sweat from my forehead, I felt palpitations.
The woman just now, is it a human or a ghost? If it's a human being, you dare to touch my face with your hand, this is a provocation, and it's too bold.
If it's a ghost, what did she want to express just now?
Taking a few big breaths, I came back to my senses and was about to chase out. At this moment, my mobile phone rang suddenly, and after connecting it, I only heard Liang Yuan say loudly to me inside:
"Tang Xiaofan, this business is too hot tonight! No, three thousand a month definitely won't work! You've got to give me a raise! ”
