Chapter 54: The Serpentine
"Dad, what's so noisy outside!"
"Oh, Zhihao from our village is back, I heard that he has a girlfriend in the city, and he will get married soon."
Early in the morning, Chen Xiaobraid was woken up by the noise outside, and ran to the courtyard to ask his father about the situation outside, it turned out that Zhihao, a college student in the village, had returned to his hometown.
"Do you remember Zhihao, when you were a child, you two played well, and then he was admitted to university, and he went to Jilin for four years of college, and after graduation, he worked and settled in Jilin."
"Dad, you really haven't seen him for six or seven years, I'll go out and have a look."
When Chen Xiaobraid heard his father mention Zhihao, his childhood partner, he suddenly felt a little emotional. I was going back to the house to change my clothes and go out to say hello to Zhihao.
By the time Chen Xiaobraid finished breakfast at home and packed up and walked out of the house, the villagers at the entrance of the village who were welcoming Zhihao had already dispersed, Zhihao should have gone home, so go to his house to find it!
"It's the pigtails here, have you eaten? Zhihao...... Come out and see who's coming! ”
"Hehe, auntie, I have eaten at home, I came to find Zhihao!"
Chen Xiaobraid entered Zhihao's house, at this time their family had just finished breakfast, Zhihao's mother was still cleaning up the plates, and when she saw Chen Xiaobraid coming, she hurriedly called Zhihao to come out, after all, they really haven't seen each other for a long time.
"Brother Zhihao, I heard that you are back, I came to see you."
"You...... You're pigtails! Good brother, hug ......"
At this time, Zhihao walked out of the house, still the same as when he was a child, he always liked to wear black clothes, but there was more maturity in his eyebrows and eyes. At this time, when he saw Chen Xiaobraid coming, he was very excited and excited, and rushed up directly and hugged the pigtail.
"Uh...... Brother Zhihao, I don't like men......"
"What are you talking about, boy, you still love to laugh as much as you did when you were a child."
"Hehe, Brother Zhihao, you are a big man now, you bought a house in the city, and you found a beautiful girlfriend, let me see what my sister-in-law looks like."
"Don't laugh at me, I heard from the people in the village that you are now following Uncle Chen out of the horse fairy and showing things to others."
The two brothers hadn't seen each other for several years, and there were always endless topics to talk about when they met, so the two of them simply walked directly to the hill behind the village, chatting about the changes over the years while taking a walk and eating and eating.
"Little pigtail, then you have the true inheritance of my Uncle Chen, isn't it also very powerful?"
"Then you don't need to say, it's not me blowing to you, buddy is a big deal with high net worth now~"
When Chen Xiaobraid heard Zhihao talk about his own horse immortal, he immediately couldn't help but fart, and started a fight with Zhihao, but at this time, Xiaobraid found that Zhihao's expression had changed a little.
"Brother Zhihao, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly interested in talking to me about this, I remember when I was a kid when I told you ghost stories, you were scared to run away from my dad's complaint. ”
"I ...... I didn't... It's just a little curious......
The careful Chen Xiaobraid found that Zhihao's face had changed significantly, and his eyes were also evasive, obviously hiding something from him.
"Are you buddy, just tell me if you have something, Brother Zhihao, you still don't believe me?"
"No, no...... I didn't disbelieve you......"
Under the cheeky soft and hard bubble of Chen Xiaobraid, coupled with a series of family kidnappings, Zhihao was finally willing to speak.
It turned out that Zhihao found a very stable job in Jilin after graduation, Zhihao's family has such a son as him, Zhihao's parents said that they would take out the family's savings for many years to buy a house for Zhihao in Jilin, and the filial Zhihao was stunned to buy a second-hand house in Changchun City in two years.
In this way, I had a home in this city, and I lived on the top floor of a high-rise at the time.
This community is not old, but the equipment is really not very good, and the property in the community is negligently managed, resulting in the voice-activated lights in the corridor almost not lighting up without shouting hard.
Maybe it's because I'm the only one living on the top floor, so I always feel a little hairy every time I come back at night.
It felt as if there was a person standing in the long hallway behind me, and he was staring at me coldly, and it made me very uncomfortable.
But every time I turned around and saw nothing, I always reassured myself not to think that I was too sensitive.
But there are some things that the more you persuade yourself, the more you will think about them, and thinking about this thing is really not something you can control if you want to control it.
In fact, if you think about it, there is only one person living on the entire floor, and no matter who you are, it will probably be a little nervous.
Especially when I come back every night, there is always that cold feeling behind me, which makes me nervous even more.
I thought it was just because I didn't get used to it when I first moved here, and I would slowly get used to it later.
But I've been moving here for more than ten days, and that feeling has not diminished but has become stronger and stronger, which makes me have to pay attention.
It wasn't until one time I entered the room that I felt the cold feeling of being stared at became stronger, so I mustered up the courage to take a second look at the hallway after the voice-activated lights in the hallway went out.
I didn't expect this to see a strange scene......
I saw a long, twisted black shadow emerge from the vent at the other end of the stairway, and it burrowed into the stairwell.
Because this scene happened so suddenly, I was so confused that I even wondered if I was too nervous to be dazzled.
Anyway, when I looked closer to the vent again, there was nothing, and the voice-activated lights never came on.
I didn't dare to look at it anymore, so I immediately closed the door and hid in my room.
To be honest, it was false to say that I wasn't afraid, but I didn't have a girlfriend at the time and I lived alone, so I kept reassuring myself that I must have seen it wrong.
After settling my mood without thinking much about it, I sat down on the couch, I was almost the World Cup that night, but after all, I was not very interested in the game, I leaned back on the couch and fell asleep unconsciously.
I don't know how long it took me to wake up, as if the game on TV wasn't over yet, and I was struggling with whether to watch it or not.
At this moment, I was suddenly awakened by a strange noise coming from the hallway.
I listened carefully to the sound really came from the corridor, to know that I was the only one living on the entire top floor, and no one usually came up, so who would this voice be.
The sound wasn't like footsteps, more like the sound of something rubbing on the ground.
I couldn't help it, thinking that even if it was a ghost, I would have to see it clearly, it would be better than scaring myself like this.
But I never imagined that I would see such a horrible scene.
Probably because the sound was so loud that it turned on the voice-activated lights in the hallway, I saw the long, twisted black shadow again in the rushing light, and he was rushing through the stairwell into the vent.
Although the shadow was fast, I could see clearly, it seemed to have two human legs.
This frightened me, the vent was only thirty centimeters long and more than ten centimeters wide, how could it fit a person?
I really didn't dare to think about it anymore, so I hurriedly turned off the TV and went to bed, about two o'clock in the middle of the night.
Suddenly, an extremely tragic woman's scream resounded throughout the building.
In the middle of the night, this scream scared me into sitting up from my bed......
At first I thought it was a quarrel between the couple, but after a while I realized that something was wrong, and the woman's screams were louder and louder, obviously in danger.
I pricked up my ears and listened closely, and found that the sound was very close, and I thought that since there was no one on the top floor, it must be me downstairs.
Since we were neighbors, I had to help, so I didn't think much about opening the door and rushed down.
Sure enough, as soon as I got out of the horse, my voice became clearer, and I followed the sound all the way to the 29th floor downstairs.
"Hello, I'm the upstairs neighbor, what danger are you in?" Sure enough, as soon as I knocked on the door, I heard the sound of approaching footsteps at the door.
"Are you really the upstairs neighbor?" Then a young girl wrapped in a bath towel opened the door a crack.
Then she confirmed my identity, and the girl opened the door to me with a panicked face.
But it made me a little embarrassed, and to be honest, it was the first time I had been in a room with a girl in the middle of the night.
"Thank you for coming, I made you laugh just now." Because of my presence, the girl slowly recovered from her fright, she changed her clothes again, and I looked at her carefully, she was really beautiful.
"By the way, what happened just now?" I wasn't very good at dealing with girls, and I didn't know anything else to comfort her, so I had to ask about what had just happened.
"Just now...... I ......" and then she told me with tears in her eyes about what had just happened.
The girl said that her name was Yani, and she worked in a foreign trade company, and because of the time difference between foreign customers, she got off work late every day.
She rented this house, and there were only two or three families on the entire 29th floor.
She got off work later tonight and ate something out again, so it was late when she got home.
Yani originally wanted to take a hot shower and hurry to bed, but when she took a shower just now, she had a strange feeling, and the strange feeling was even more obvious after this bath because there was no sound of running water.
It felt like there was an eye behind me staring at me.
Yani looked back several times in a row and didn't find anything, thinking that maybe she was too tired, so she didn't think much about it.
To be honest, this feeling has been felt since Yani moved into this house, but she has never noticed anything wrong......
She used to think about it by herself, just like me, but she slowly realized that tonight was really strange. It was a very strong feeling......
