The peach box next to the pillow, with a slight creak, opened it by itself!

I didn't hear anything else, but a vague smell of urine wafted into my nose.

My mind went blank and I pondered...... How can there be a smell of urine in this mahogany box? What's inside?

As time passed, the smell of urine became lighter and the musty smell became stronger! Even when I close my eyes, I can clearly feel that behind the eyelids... Something seems to be hanging over my front door!

What does it taste like... It's uncomfortable! I squeezed my phone tightly, waiting for the relief that my second uncle would give me.

"Boom," there was an unpredictable grubbing sound in my ears, it was very weird, and my brain was about to explode! What the is this?

After a while, there was a "pop", the mahogany box seemed to be closed, and the musty in the air had turned into a pungent spicy, and I wanted to sneeze.

"The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find light...... "The ringtone of the Huawei mobile phone rang, my hand trembled, and in the quiet room, the second uncle's very small voice came from the microphone: "Xiaoyu, it's okay!" ”

Hearing this, I sat up and quickly turned on the light......

On the side of the bedside pillow, I saw something creepy! Messy bug tentacles and crumbs, and tawny pus-spots!

This... What the is this? Like the remains of a centipede, but not like a centipede, a centipede doesn't have that many tentacles! That's where the pungent spicy smell comes from!

It's a bug, not small, but it's like it's been bitten by something! What is disgusting is that the remains are not completely dead, and the tentacles are still slightly hooked back and forth...... As if unwilling!

"Light rain! Light rain! "On the phone, the second uncle is calling me.

"Second uncle!" I nervously picked up my phone and responded.

"Come out with a mahogany box, remember, don't open it!" The second uncle admonished.

I swallowed and spat, and shuddered as I took the mahogany box, which was still stained with the severed limbs of worms and pus.

I wiped it clean with a wet towel and nervously left the room.

In the car at the entrance of the building, the second uncle was waiting for me, my heart was pounding, and I had already understood at this time that it was this insect that wanted to bite me! Oh, my God! Where did such a big insect come from, with a ring-shaped strip and half the length of chopsticks!

This thing is very similar to the "money string" in the countryside of my hometown, the scientific name is worm, I remember living in a bungalow when I was a child, and I had this thing at home, and later, I moved to live in a county building, and I never saw it again. But can the worm be so big? Impossible!

With doubts in my heart, I can only ask my second uncle.

After getting into the car, the second uncle put away the peach box and took me all the way out of the community, driving on the road when I came and went.

"Second uncle, where are we going?"

"Go back to the store, you will stay there tonight," the second uncle lit a cigarette and smoked quietly.

I snorted and blinked, and asked, "Second uncle, what the hell is going on?" I saw a big bitten worm, like that money string. ”

The second uncle smiled: "Yes, money skewers, or money skewers that only have estrus." ”

"Money skewers in heat?" My eyes widened in surprise.

The second uncle nodded: "Yes, I smelled it as soon as you got in the car today, and I knew what you kid was targeting." ”

I'll go! My heart is in my throat, is it... That money string, is what the second uncle said, my "girlfriend"? Oh, my God! It's disgusting!

"Second uncle, is the money string male or female?" I asked, my lips trembling.

The second uncle laughed: "Silly boy, where do you want to go?" Oh yes, tomorrow you take a day off, show me the store, I'm going out to do something. ”

"Second uncle, where did the money strings come from? What is it going to do? ...... the hell it's?"

Before I finished my words, the second uncle interrupted me: "Xiaoyu, I'll sue you when the second uncle comes back tomorrow, you have a good rest first, don't think nonsense." ”

My mind was at a loss, and although my mind was in a mess, it was clear that there was no danger now.

It is not uncommon for money strings to appear in the semi-basement, after all, it is dark and damp, but such a big guy is rare, is it that the worms in Beijing have become fine? Only that one, or many? Will it hurt anyone else?

Where did that strange smell of burning come from? When I came out of the basement, I could still faintly smell something, the musty smell was the tide smell on the worm's body, and the spicy breath should come from the pus in the worm's body......

I wiped it, and a terrible picture appeared in my mind, under the building of the community where we lived, could it be an ancient tomb, and the insects in the ancient tomb crawled out? In the past, in my hometown of Qiqihar, when a real estate was renovated for underground central heating, an ancient tomb of the Jin Dynasty was excavated. I can't say for sure where Beijing is.

"Second uncle, what's in this peach box?" I asked curiously.

The second uncle said: "Here, it's a big palace." ”

"Guarding the palace?"

"Well, it's a gecko, that worm, it was bitten to death by it, hehe, this palace guard is fierce, I don't let you open it, I'm afraid it will hurt you," the second uncle smiled.

I'm embarrassed! I closed my eyes just now, but I didn't expect a "dragon fight" to be staged next to the pillow! The second uncle said that the smell of urine I smelled was the breath of the Great Shougong.

When I returned to my second uncle's shop, he found me an elegant and secluded bedroom, full of antique calligraphy and paintings, tables, chairs, beds, doors and windows, all in the style of ancient times.

I can't see that the second uncle is such a ... Someone as honest as my father is so elegant?

After he settled me, he instructed that he could open tomorrow or not, and if he opened the door, he would say that he was a new buddy and didn't know the price, so he would wait for the boss to come tomorrow.

In addition, the second uncle confessed, this floor of the store, there are various rooms, I can go casually, I want to eat something, there are all in the refrigerator, if it doesn't work, I can order takeout, but upstairs on the second floor, I can't go, don't be curious. After that, he handed me the key and prepared to go out.

I'm surprised, is the second uncle leaving tonight? Was he going to investigate the worm? I wanted to ask, but I couldn't speak, I asked him when he would come back, and the second uncle couldn't tell, just let me live with peace of mind, don't think too much.

After my second uncle left, I lived alone in this big empty house, full of ancient things, and I couldn't help but ...... There is a feeling of hair.

The second uncle also lives in the store, he doesn't have his own building, he takes the store as his home, anyway, it's convenient to be single, and my room is next door to him.

Tossed all night, now it's almost three o'clock in the morning, I sent a message to Xiao Song, asking him to ask for leave for me tomorrow, just say I'm sick, but also, this night, I was even scared, plus I didn't sleep well last night, my body really couldn't bear it.

Just as I was covering the quilt, turning off the lights, and getting drowsy to fall asleep, I suddenly heard that upstairs... There was a faint movement, like a cough.

I'll go! Right? The second uncle said, there are only two of us in this store, and there is no one else, what's the matter with this cough?

I'm thinking, in addition to collecting antique calligraphy and paintings, the second uncle also likes to raise some strange insects, or animals, right? What kind of animals are on this second floor? Can also make a human-like cough?

I snorted and didn't think about it anymore, and was about to go back to sleep, but after a while, I heard it again, I don't know if it was upstairs, or somewhere? Vaguely ...... There was a slight girl's laughter, very sweet, illusory and real, ethereal and elusive?

Open your eyes again! I looked around nervously, right? The second uncle's shop, next to the two stores, one is a store, the other is a restaurant, a single family, now it is more than three o'clock in the evening, it can't be the sound outside.

So where did this weird girl's laughter come from? For a while, I thought of the "girlfriend" that my second uncle said, and the hairs on my body stood up again!

Don't? That dirty thing, if you can't make a plan, you will come with us, and when you see that your second uncle is gone, you will come to me in person?

I sat up and looked at the room to see if there was anything handy in the room, and my heart spoke, but I was also a seven-foot tall man, no matter what you were? Come out and scare me, I'll pick you up a bench first!

There was another dead silence around, and at this time, there was no movement except the rustling of the wind in the street, and my eyes scanned and fixed my eyes on a painting that my second uncle hung on the wall.

That is the dream of the Red Mansion, the twelve hairpins of Jinling in the Grand View Garden, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun......

This is a traditional Chinese painting, although it is not as realistic as an oil painting, but the artistic conception is wonderful, the woman's gentle and agile character and expression, highlighting it is particularly real, there is a deep charm, I always feel, the voice... It looks like it came out of this painting.

After an hour of insomnia, I fell asleep tiredly, and there was no sound, but I always felt that I was definitely not the only one in this store!

The next day, I didn't get up until noon, the second uncle didn't come back, I was bored playing with my mobile phone, and I didn't understand the rules of the antique shop, so I closed the door and waited for the second uncle.

It wasn't until seven o'clock in the evening that the second uncle came back, he smiled and said that he was in a hurry, take me out to eat.

In the car, I asked the second uncle, did you go to investigate the origin of the worm?

The second uncle smiled and said: "The investigation, I went to investigate, but there is more than this, but the second uncle can tell you now about the ins and outs of the worm." ”

"Second uncle, say it quickly," I asked excitedly and nervously.

The second uncle looked at me meaningfully and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, a few years ago, did you feel that there were many fewer cockroaches at home?" ”

I frowned and blinked, cockroaches? Does this have anything to do with cockroaches?

"Second uncle, you mean, that worm eats cockroaches? The cockroaches in our basement living room, I hadn't seen them for a long time, and I thought it was the result of the tenants' cleaning," I replied.

The second uncle smiled: "That worm, someone specially invited it back, but why harm you, there is a big cat in it!" ”

"Big cat? Why did you hurt me? I gasped.

The second uncle groaned slightly: "Maybe, because you are single." ”
