10. Suspicious sinuses
Like most times, after breakfast, Dong Lin went to the nearby market alone to buy vegetables. Wang Jingwen saw her father watching a favorite column on TV intently, and felt that the opportunity had come. She pretended to be casual and said, "Dad, I'll go to the garden at the door to see the flowers for a while." ”
Wang Xingyu nodded and said, "Well, let's go." ”
Wang Jingwen walked out of the door and closed the door. She didn't stop for a moment in the garden, and walked briskly towards the gate of the community.
"It's nice here."
The doorman of the community, who was sorting out some newly delivered newspapers and magazines, raised his head, a little incredulous that the beautiful young girl standing at the door of the security room was talking to him. He was stunned for a while with his mouth open, and after making sure that there was indeed no one else around, he said with a flattering smile, "You...... What does it mean? ”
"This community." Wang Jingwen looked at the middle-aged security guard in front of her, who was almost stupid, and her eyelashes picked out a beautiful curve. "Elegant and well equipped, the layout between the floors is also well designed. And—and with security guards like you guarding the place—can this neighborhood not be liked? ”
The middle-aged security guard was obviously flattered: "You are really ...... It's too much of an award. ”
"Can I come in and sit for a while?" Wang Jingwen smiled.
"Ah, of course, ......please," the middle-aged security guard frantically cleaned up his small cramped janitorial room and made room for a chair. You may be seated. ”
Wang Jingwen sat elegantly on the rattan chair, her legs naturally overlapped. "I live in Building 102, do you have any impressions?"
"Well, yes, yes." The security guard said busily.
Wang Jingwen smiled a little shyly. "You see, I didn't want to trouble you, but I can't help it, I'm entrusted by someone."
"It's okay, you say, what's the matter?"
"That's right." "A friend of mine, who came to our house last week and was full of praise for our community, said she wanted to buy a house here too. So she asked me to help her inquire about whether there were any unsold houses in this community. ”
"Oh, that's right......," the security guard said with some embarrassment, "I'm afraid this won't work." Houses in this neighborhood are in high demand and sold out before they were repaired. Not to mention now - look at which house is still empty. ”
"It's okay, my friend said, second-hand housing is fine." Wang Jingwen leaned forward a little, "Have you heard of any family in this community who wants to sell a house?" ”
The security guard thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of anyone who wants to sell a house recently." ”
Wang Jingwen paused slightly: "Could it be that all the original residents live in this community?" No one has ever sold a house here before? ”
"Not really. Several houses have sold their homes before. I guess it's a special resale of real estate, or there is some special reason - otherwise, who would be willing to sell such a good house. ”
Finally to the most critical place. Wang Jingwen pretended to ask casually: "Then our house hasn't changed hands before, right?" ”
"Your family—you mean Building 102?"
"yes."
The security guard laughed: "Aren't you clear about this?" ”
"I really don't know." Wang Jingwen pretended to be joking and said, "My parents bought the house, I was afraid that they bought a second-hand house, but they told me that it was a new house." ”
"Then you really wronged your parents." The security guard said with a smile, "I saw your parents decorate this house from the clear water room to the current one." I can assure you that you are 100% the original occupant of this house. ”
"Oh, yes...... Wang Jingwen thought for a moment, "by the way, do you have the phone number of the real estate agent who built this community here?" Since my friend can't buy it here, I have to help her ask about other neighborhoods. ”
"Yes, yes." The security guard took out a business card from the desk drawer behind him and handed it to Wang Jingwen, "You can call and ask this Manager Tang." ”
Wang Jingwen took the business card and smiled sweetly at the security guard: "Thank you." She got up from the wicker chair, "Then I won't bother." ”
"Hey, it's okay." The security guard reluctantly said, "I'll come back when I'm free." ”
Wang Jingwen hurried home, thinking that she would stay here for about ten minutes. Fortunately, the door was still closed, and it seemed that my father was still watching TV and did not notice where she went. Wang Jingwen gently plucked a gardenia in the small garden and pushed the door into the house with it.
Sure enough, my father was still watching TV. Wang Jingwen sat down next to her father and put the gardenia under his nose: "Dad, the flowers in our yard are so fragrant, you smell it." ”
Father sniffed deeply. "Well, it smells so good."
"That's for you." Wang Jingwen said playfully.
My father took the flower and put it in his hand and smiled, "Thank you." ”
"I'll go to my room and read a book for a while." Wang Jingwen got up from the sofa. Her father nodded at her. "Go ahead."
Wang Jingwen walked into her bedroom. Wang Xingyu kept staring at her back from behind, his eyes were meaningful.
At night, Wang Jingwen lay on her bed, thinking about the morning.
She believed that her performance was quite natural, and the security guard didn't realize what she was looking for. In other words, the security guard should not be guarded, and he has no reason to lie to himself. So what he said was true - there really wasn't anyone else living in this house before. This proved that his first guess was wrong.
So, what is the problem? Wang Jingwen's brows were tightly furrowed, could it be that her hallucination really had nothing to do with this house? No, it can't be. She quickly dismissed the idea - if it wasn't for the house, it would have led to a terrible conclusion: her own mental problems had gone wrong again.
Thinking of this, Wang Jingwen couldn't help but feel confused. She suddenly realized that she had nightmares almost every day these days, and they were all cruel and bloody content - she knew that this was not a good sign. But she couldn't figure it out, wasn't she already recovering well when she was in the nursing home? Dr. Nie's prescription is also taking every day – why is this still happening? If it wasn't because of the house, what was it that caused her to show signs of abnormality?
Gradually, all kinds of restless imaginations swirled and changed in Wang Jingwen's mind, making her feel a burst of pain in her head. Wang Jingwen rubbed her forehead with her hands, closed her eyes, and tried to rest a little.
Come on.
Her eyes widened and she looked around vigilantly—who was talking?
Come here.
Another bang. Wang Jingwen's hairs all over her body stood up. This time, she heard a voice coming from below.
Come down here, I'll be waiting for you here.
Wang Jingwen felt that her body was out of control. As if enchanted, she mechanically leaned down and lay down on the bed, slowly poking her head under the bed, she wanted to see what was underneath.
It was pitch black, and her eyes rolled under the bed to carefully search for the subject. Suddenly, she saw something, a rotting head, but the round eyes were looking at her as if they were alive. For a moment, fear swelled like a poisonous bubble, squeezing her lungs so much that she couldn't even scream.
That's when something even more terrifying happened. In the darkness under the bed, a pair of festering hands suddenly stretched out, grabbed Wang Jingwen's shoulders, and dragged her off the bed violently. The rotting head was getting closer and closer to her, and the rotten flesh that had fallen from her face was almost falling onto her cheeks. Wang Jingwen wanted to move, but found that she couldn't use any strength. In the midst of great horror, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind. There's only one thing she can do now—blink and blink desperately......
Finally, she woke up gasping for breath, her heart still pounding, but she was glad that she was able to return to reality in time for the most terrifying time.
Oh my God, I ...... What the hell is wrong with me. Wang Jingwen couldn't help but shed tears. It's just that I leaned on the side of the bed and squinted for a while, and I would have such terrible nightmares! How can my life go on!
Wang Jingwen sat up from the bed and sobbed in a low voice, sad. A sense of loneliness that had never been felt before was sending chills through her heart – what now? I can't complain to my parents anymore, they won't understand, and they won't be able to help. Besides, there seems to be a trace of separation between them and them now, and they seem to have hidden something from each other before, with suspicion. Who else can help me?
Wang Jingwen remembered Dr. Nie. However, her newly ignited heart quickly cooled again. She thought that in the more than ten days since she returned home, Dr. Nie had not even called to ask about her current situation—perhaps because he thought that the discharged patients had nothing to do with him. How, then, can we expect his help and care?
Wang Jingwen was silent for a long time, feeling that she could only rely on herself now. She fumbled in her pants to find the real estate developer's business card, staring at it for a long time, thinking about what to do next.
Suddenly, she shuddered, and remembered a voice from the nightmare just now—Come down, I'll be waiting for you here.
The sudden flash of thought sent her creeps.
Since it's not about the house, will the problem be underground?
