Chapter 50: The Story of the Old Blind Man
I took a look at it from a distance, and it was indeed an old house, the kind of very ordinary old house, with a small courtyard and two entrances.
I gave the fare to the master, and he didn't seem to want to stay for a second, so he turned around and wanted to leave, and just turned the front of the car over, rolled down the window and said to us: "By the way, if you change your mind, you can find an old blind man on the corner of the street, the old man seems to have gone in before, I persuade you not to go in, ask the old blind man, and listen to the story." ”
I thanked the master, he drove away, and I shrugged my shoulders at Li Yingxue: "What do you say?" ”
She also seemed to mutter, stared at the old house and said, "It doesn't seem to be quite right there, but I can't tell what the problem is, it always feels weird." ”
I laughed: "It must be strange, on this hot day, I feel very cold when I stand here and look at the house, why don't we go find the old blind man first and ask what the situation is?" ”
Li Yingxue also nodded, and the two of us walked all the way to the corner of the street, inquiring about everything, and finally found the location of the old blind man, who was lying on the rocking chair at the door basking in the sun.
I approached me and asked, "Hello, uncle!" ”
"Your uncle!" He said vaguely: "This fucking young man speaks without proportion, am I the age of your uncle?" Shout big brother! ”
I looked at his gray hair, and I could only call out to my eldest brother: "Big brother, may I ask you something?" ”
He took out a paper sign from the side of the recliner and wrote a few words on it: five yuan for directions, ten yuan for bathing, twenty yuan for young lady, and one hundred yuan for the ghost house.
This makes me thunder, it seems that this uncle's business is quite extensive, so I asked him: "Big brother, let's ask about the ghost house." ”
"Don't ask Miss? I know a few, around here, okay! He grinned, showing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.
This is not serious, I quickly said: "No, big brother, I'll ask about the ghost house." ”
"Okay!" The eldest brother seemed a little disappointed, the width of this business expansion was not enough, and he took out another bowl and said: "Small business, pay for it first." ”
So I took out a hundred and threw it into a bowl, and he took it in his hand and touched it, and after confirming that it was a hundred, he said, "Ask, what do you want to ask?" ”
Li Yingxue and I sat down and asked, "When we came, I heard the driver say that you have been to that ghost house, haven't you?" ”
He nodded and said, "I've been, I've been, but that's been more than twenty years ago, do you see my eyes?" It's just that after you go in, you're blind! ”
"What blinded you?" I then asked.
He shook his head and said: "How do I know where to go, the things in there are evil, at that time this piece has not been demolished, my family lives nearby, that day it happened to be my dog, ran to the house, that is my old man's favorite dog, if he knows that I lost the dog, it is estimated that I have to pick up my skin, so there is no way, I can only bite into the ghost house, want to find the dog back." ”
"That day should also be this month, it was hot, I wore a big pants and slippers and went over the wall to go in, the yard was quite cold, I didn't dare to look around after I went in, just looking for a dog, and finally found that my dog was squatting at the door of the house, forgetting to look inside, I don't know what I'm looking at, like a fool."
He took a sip of tea and continued: "I was not very old at that time, and I was stupid, and I didn't know how to be afraid, so I went over and tried to pick up the dog and run, but I had just taken two steps, and the stupid dog seemed to have seen something, and he ran into the house and startled me. ”
"The stupid dog ran in, I had no choice but to follow inside, I was afraid to die, I didn't dare to look up, I just remember that it was very cold in the room, and then there were a lot of messy things on the walls and chairs, and I couldn't see what it was."
"It's a small third floor inside, and as soon as I went in, I heard my stupid dog barking on the second floor, so I climbed up, and after climbing to the second floor, I saw the dog hiding behind a door, and he showed his head and was looking at me."
"I'm so angry in my heart, why didn't this stupid dog run away, just scolded and scolded, and dragged the dog's head, guess so? There's just a bloody dog's head behind the fucking door! The dog's body is gone! ”
My eyelids jumped as I listened, and I couldn't imagine what the old man had felt like at that time.
He lit a cigarette and continued: "I'm so small, I've never seen such a thing, I peed my mother's crotch directly, and I was almost scared to death, and the dog died, and I didn't catch it anymore, so I threw the dog's head directly, just like running out." ”
"But at this time, I heard a strange sound from behind me, which I thought it was actually the sound of leather shoes stepping on the wooden floor, but then we were all poor, who could wear leather shoes, and the wooden floor, and a cement road would be good, so I felt that there was a ghost behind me, and the ghost was still walking towards me slowly."
"This frightened me, so I ran forward, the design of the house is very strange, the stairs are a circle, from this end, you can go down from that end, I ran down without my life, and the more I ran, the faster the thing behind me, and when I ran out of the house, he had already chased after me, and his two hands were directly suffocated in my eyes."
"That thing smells very strange, let's say it stinks, it's not very stinky, and it smells a little fragrant, it's that kind of burnt smell, you know the pot at the bottom of the pot when steaming rice at home, right? That's the taste. ”
"His two hands covered my eyes, and I immediately felt that my eyes were hot and painful, but at that time, the fear overwhelmed everything, and I couldn't care about it so much, so I ran out vigorously, climbed out of the courtyard wall, ran all the way home, and finally fell at the door of the house and fainted directly."
"When I woke up again, my eyes became like this, my family asked what happened, and someone organized to go to the ghost house to find out, but my grandfather stopped him, he said that we can't afford to mess with the things in it, and my eyes have become like this, and it's all fate."
He extinguished his cigarette and said, "Later, Lao Tzu will become what he is now, and he will sit here and tell you a story!" Okay, the story is over, you really don't want Miss's address? ”
I was still thinking about what was going on, and when I heard what he said, I almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and the old rascal was worried about it, and quickly said: "No need big brother, then let's go, thank you!" ”
"Hey, you really go and try it, that little girl is good at kung fu!"
I pulled Li Yingxue and hurried away, the eldest brother in the back was still promoting his young lady, and I suspected that he was pimping.
After running out for a while, the two of us stopped, and I asked Li Yingxue, "Do you believe what he just said?" ”
Li Yingxue shook her head without the slightest hesitation: "Don't believe it, he should be talking nonsense." ”
"Why are you so sure?"
She gave me a blank look: "What do you say?" If it's really so big, can the people who live next to it stay? I have already reported it to the government, and if I want to say, that old man is a liar, and even I wonder if he has hidden something in that old mansion, and told people that this is a mess, so that others will not dare to enter it. ”
As soon as I heard it, I felt that what Li Yingxue said seemed to be quite reasonable, and I began to make it difficult, after all, the driver also told us about the girls who were engaged in live broadcasts, could it be that he had nothing to do with that old man?
Li Yingxue saw me hesitate and said, "Let's go in directly, don't worry about that, how can there be any haunted houses that are not haunted houses these days, just go in and take a look." ”
In fact, since the last time she was locked in the bathroom of that villa, I have a strange sense of resistance to this kind of big house, I don't really want to go in, Li Yingxue seemed to see it, and continued: "But as long as the two of us go in, it's not enough, there must be something hidden in this old mansion, we definitely can't understand it, and another person has to go in with us." ”
