There's a smell in the living room, isn't it... Is that the smell you smelled last night?

I once suspected that it was the breath of the soul of the dead, after all, last night, my grandfather gave me a "dream", I have seen it in many movies, and the ghosts in the temple are fragrant......

The musty smell that only exists in the old houses in the countryside, is it the smell of the grave, the more I think about it, the more scared I become, I always feel that it is related to my own blood and light disaster, but... Grandpa won't kill me, will he?

Just as I was packing up my things and preparing to go downstairs to catch the subway, my mobile phone rang again, and when I looked, it turned out to be the second uncle!

I swallowed and foamed, tried to calm myself down, and picked up the phone.

"Hello? Second uncle. ”

"Xiaoyu, have you arrived in Beijing?"

"Arrived, just arrived yesterday."

"Don't tell me to call the second uncle when you arrive, where are you?"

"I'm in the company, ready to go back."

"Where is your company? I'll pick you up! ”

......

After chatting with my second uncle, he wanted to come and pick me up for dinner.

Listening to the second uncle's kind tone, in a trance, I felt that I was thinking too much, perhaps, last night was just an accidental dream, I miss my grandfather, there is no sign, the second uncle, or the real second uncle.

Standing under the office building, watching the traffic on the bustling streets of Beijing, smelling the familiar tail smell, reason reoccupied the brain. I think I'm quite ridiculous, the eyes of my colleagues can't say anything, as for Xiao Song, that guy is neurotic, and his brain is sick when he does copywriting, so he guess he's joking with me.

And that strange smell, a Chinese New Year has passed, the tenants go home, who knows what happened in the semi-basement? Who moved in? Am I too sensitive?

An hour later, an Audi A8 stopped at the door of the company, and it was the second uncle who was driving!

He was still wearing those simple clothes, not like a rich man at all, but when he saw me, there was a look of surprise in his eyes, and then he turned into a normal smile and beckoned me to get in the car quickly!

Sitting in the second uncle's car, the luxurious A8 console made me envious, but I didn't know the bottom of my heart, what did the second uncle's eyes mean just now? Did he notice something was wrong with my face?

"What do you want to eat? Said to the uncle, "The second uncle smiled, snorted, and subconsciously covered his nostrils with his index finger, as if he smelled something bad?"

I frowned and blinked, stunned for a moment, and replied, "Second uncle, whatever you eat." ”

"Why don't we eat hot pot?"

"Okay!"

The second uncle drove the car and took me to Dongsi, saying that there was a hot pot restaurant there that was quite good, and he talked and laughed very well, which was completely different from when he was at my house.

When I learned that I lived in the semi-basement of Tiantongyuan, the second uncle said to me compassionately: "Cough... Pity my nephew, move tomorrow and live with my uncle. ”

The second uncle is in his forties and is not married, and he runs a stall alone, although I am curious, it is not convenient for me to ask more.

Dinner was so enjoyable that I almost forgot that my landlord was still urging me to go back.

Fuck it! Lao Tzu will also have a house tomorrow! The second uncle's antique shop is in the North Third Ring Road, not far from where I work, two subway stops away.

"Xiaoyu, recently, have you been in love?" The second uncle asked me with a smile while eating.

Love? My second monk is confused, why did the second uncle suddenly ask this?

"No, I've only been working for less than a year, so I don't have time to fall in love," I replied with a smile.

"No, isn't there any girl? Interesting to you? The second uncle asked with a smile.

I was even more stunned, and said embarrassedly: "Second uncle, I'm a poor north, I don't want anything, now the girls are very realistic......"

The second uncle smiled and didn't continue to ask.

I feel that something is wrong, there is something in the second uncle's words, he must have discovered something!

"Second uncle, look at my forehead, isn't it a little dark?" I couldn't hold back my doubts and asked the second uncle.

The second uncle smiled but said nothing, and only said after a while, go back to the store with him after eating, and then send me back to Tiantongyuan.

He didn't answer my question directly, as if he was hiding something from me, and I was still a little disappointed in my heart, since I was going back to the store, why didn't my second uncle let me stay? I have to wait for tomorrow, grandpa asked him to protect me!

The car is parked at the door of the store, the second uncle's antique shop is very magnificent, a two-story small building, the antique color of the repair, in the North Third Ring Road, where every inch of land is valuable, can build such a "small villa", don't think about tens of millions.

Sitting in the car, I began to wonder, what kind of person is the second uncle? Where did he get all this money?

The second uncle came out soon after entering the store, drove the car, and took me to the Fifth Ring Tiantongyuan.....

"Xiaoyu, when you go to bed tonight, put this next to your pillow," the second uncle handed me the thing he took out of the store, a small peachwood box.

This peach wood locket is very exquisite, the dragon and phoenix on it, the size of a cup, at a glance is an ancient thing, my heart is pounding, is it... This is the magic weapon that the second uncle saved me?

"Second uncle, am I causing something dirty? Last night, my grandfather gave me a dream, saying that I had recently... There is calamity," I finally couldn't help myself, and asked timidly.

The second uncle pondered for a moment and said, "Disaster, no, it's just a little trouble, just do what I say, remember!" When you go to bed at night and hear any sound, don't open your eyes or move. ”

The goosebumps I got from the second uncle to the end, and there was really something unclean! He went to the store to get the magic weapon just to save me! But wouldn't it be good to take me away?

"Uncle, or... Let's not go back, what's that? Is it a female ghost? I asked in shock, the second uncle asked me if I had a partner, I must have seen something!

The second uncle smiled: "Female ghost? Where are there so many ghosts, don't worry, there are no ghosts! ”

His words were secretive, which made my heart even more bottomless, swallowing and foaming, and becoming more and more nervous.

I remembered the movie "Painted Skin" I watched before, an evil ghost, dressed in the skin of a beautiful woman, tricked a lascivious scholar, specializing in digging people's hearts to eat, and finally met Yan Chixia, and used a magic weapon similar to this peach box to kill the evil ghost and save the scholar's life.

Can... I didn't mess around with anyone, did I? An honest dwelling has never offended anyone! Why am I unlucky?

"Second uncle, I ......"

"Light rain, remember! You are a man, you have to be responsible in everything you do! ”

I was about to say something, but I was interrupted by the second uncle, and I came to such a sentence meaningfully, listening to his melancholy tone, it seemed to imply something, he, is he talking about grandpa?

"I know the second uncle, I'm just curious, what's in this little box?" I asked, swallowing and spitting.

The second uncle said: "You will know later, but tonight, don't open it, otherwise... The trouble is even greater, listen to the second uncle! ”

His expression became serious, and I was scared and curious, as if a kitten's paw was scratching.

The second uncle sent me back to the place where I lived, went upstairs together, went down to the basement, the living room was filled with a smell of, and the Anhui couple in the next room were mopping the floor of the living room and cleaning.

After some inquiry, I found out that one of the five households below us had a separate bathroom blocked, and the feces overflowed, and the landlord opened the door of his house first and found the source of the smell!

I smell it hard, and I don't have the weird musty smell of yesterday, right? To say, in this semi-basement, it is normal to be dark and damp, and there is a little musty smell, but yesterday the smell was very special! It's definitely not an ordinary musty smell!

The second uncle also smelled it, his eyes were like torches, he scanned the doors of each house, then smiled, and followed me into the house.

Although I am single, the house is very clean, there are often cockroaches in this basement, and sometimes I drill into the laptop fan, and I can't clean it up, so I must pay attention to hygiene!

The second uncle looked at it for a while, sat on the bed and said: "Xiaoyu, just according to what my uncle said, after going to bed at night, don't open your eyes when you hear anything, I won't leave, just in front of your building, and when things are done, I will call you!" ”

My heart was in my throat, and I wanted to ask something, but I didn't know how to ask. At the moment, it is estimated that the second uncle will not tell me, he may be worried that I am afraid......

After a long night, I lay on the bed and boiled into a pancake after turning off the lights! What the hell could it be? Why didn't the second uncle let me open my eyes?

I have never experienced that time flies so slowly, every second is like a knife cutting meat, I am waiting for the second uncle's call, as soon as his phone rings, I am relieved.

The night is not completely invisible, the key is to make me close my eyes, which increases my fear, I suspect, it must still be a ghost, the second uncle said that there is no ghost, just comforting me.

It's a terrible thing to imagine, and in the mind, a hideous and terrifying female ghost with drooping eyes under her sockets, raising her bony claws, wants to do something to me, and the thought makes people sweat.

Time passed little by little, and the "click" of the clock reminded me that it was twelve o'clock! I closed my eyes tightly, and my nerves were tense to the extreme!

The peach box next to the pillow has no movement at all, I'm thinking, ghost thing, it should come out at twelve o'clock, this time period, the yin is the strongest!

Sure enough, five or six minutes later, a vague smell of burning wafted into my nose, and my body shivered like an electric shock.

That's the smell! The smell of incense burning in the temple! OMG! It turns out that the ghost... It's really temple-scented!

Cold sweat flowed down my forehead and temples, and I itched for a while, but I didn't dare to scratch it, time, time, you go faster!

After a while, the familiar and unfamiliar musty smell wafted in, at first unconscious, but then it became stronger and stronger, I closed my eyes and could not see anything, I felt like I was in a grave!

When I was extremely frightened, I suddenly heard that the peach box on the side of the pillow opened slightly......
