Chapter 242: Strange Neighbors

The landlord ignored me with a dark face, but carefully picked up the urn, then wiped it clean with the corner of his clothes, and finally buried it in the pit I dug out, and I stood next to him, helping him fill in the soil with a guilty face, but fortunately, it didn't take long for us to restore everything to the original state.

It took me a long time to dig a hole, but it took me a while to fill a hole, and while I worked silently with the landlord, I thought in my heart why the ghost of the landlord's wife was summoned by me, and disappeared without telling me anything, so I misunderstood what she meant, and turned out her ashes.

It seems that the landlord must have buried her here, but how did she die? I remember she had a knife on her chest.

After everything was cleaned up, the landlord stood up, still very guilty, and carefully followed him, and he silently returned my hoe to the same place, and then washed his hands, and after washing the mud from his hands, he looked back at me and calmly asked, "Don't you need to wash your hands?" I came to my senses, and looking at my face covered in mud, I replied embarrassedly, "Let's wash it." ”

After washing the mud off my hands and face, I followed the landlord silently to the courtyard, waiting for his next trial, I was mentally prepared to accept his next scolding, and even kicked me out directly, but the air was silent for a long time, and he didn't say anything. It was a long time before he spoke, "Sit down." ”

I glanced at him, not understanding what he meant, but it was true that my legs were sore, and I picked a stone bench farthest from him, and sat down carefully. Looking at his expression, I blushed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I didn't know there was one, there was your wife's ......" He waved his hand at me, motioning for me not to say any more. Then he sighed and said to me, "Actually, I know that you definitely didn't mean it, after all, I didn't tell you about it, and I can blame you for it." ”

"Actually, it's all my fault." Listening to his words, I felt that he was really a person who understood righteousness, and the more he didn't care, the more ashamed I felt. I apologized to him.

He smiled bitterly and walked under the loquat tree: "Everything is my fault, I didn't protect her well, I can't live with her, what does it have to do with you." ”

He looked at the loquat tree in the yard, as if in deep thought, and then he said: "Actually, you should be very curious why I buried my wife's ashes under the loquat tree, because this loquat tree was in my own hands for her, she liked to eat loquat the most when she was alive, and I didn't want her to be lonely after death, so I buried her under the tree." "After listening to him, I understood the reason why he did this, although it was unbelievable, but he was indeed an affectionate person.

But in fact, I was still curious about the cause of her wife's death, and the female ghost I saw was so shocking that he seemed to guess my thoughts, and he opened his mouth and said to me, "I told you that there was a murder in this house before you moved in." I nodded, and it dawned on me, "So, it's your wife?" He nodded, with a sad expression on his face, and he said to me: "It was half a year ago, I went on a business trip, and my wife lived alone in this house, who knew that a gangster broke in in order to steal money, but was found by my wife, remembering the female ghost I saw today, I had to say: "If your wife knows that you love her so much, she will be very pleased." ”

He smiled bitterly and didn't speak, I also felt that I was too powerless to comfort, how could I be good to her when people were already dead. Thinking of the female ghost with a knife in her chest, I inexplicably sympathized with this landlord.

Everything was clear, the landlord pushed his glasses and said to me: "Anyway, you know everything, if you still want to live, you can continue to live, if you don't want to, I can refund the rent to you, you can find a new place." ”

I didn't expect the landlord to be so talkative and didn't drive me away, so I hurriedly said to the landlord: "I would like to live here." ”

The landlord was a little surprised, but looking at my determined expression, he didn't say anything more and walked away.

I didn't expect the matter to be resolved so smoothly, I looked at the back of the landlord leaving, and felt that I was still a little unresponsive.

"Boss, he actually let you go like this." I don't know when Ah Ji appeared behind me and suddenly startled me. I turned my head and glared at her angrily: "You conscienceless thing, as soon as you saw that something happened to me, you ran away, you still have no humanity." ”

She looked at me with a smile: "Boss, an ordinary person, you must have dealt with it, in case he is really angry, you can run." Even though she had a slight hint of truth in what she said, I snorted at her.

Everything was settled, we had a suitable place to live, and now I felt that I should go and find a job, or it would be too boring to be bored in this yard all day long, and no one would come to me.

But I haven't worked for so long, I have no work experience, I only have a university diploma, I have forgotten all the professional knowledge I have learned before, I really don't know what job can ask me, I am really worried. I slammed it on the table and sighed.

At this time, I suddenly saw a small pink leather ball roll in, it rolled at my feet and stopped, probably a child playing with the ball outside, accidentally kicked in, I looked at this small pink leather ball, picked it up, and was ready to return it to its owner later. Before I could get up, I saw a little girl with a round face and big eyes looking in through the doorway.

I held the ball up, raised it at her, and asked, "Are you looking for this?" When she saw the little ball, her eyes lit up, and she nodded at me, and I sat there, waiting for her to come and get it, but she stood still and didn't move, she pursed her lips, smiled at me, showed two dimples, and begged me, "Sister, can you throw the ball to me?" I saw that this little girl was very cute, and she was just bored, and I wanted to tease her, so I said to her: "Come and get it yourself, and if you come, my sister will give you candy to eat." She listened to me, hesitated for a moment, took a step forward, and then suddenly retreated, and then as if she remembered something, she shook her head at me firmly: "No, I can't come in." Mom said she couldn't come into this yard. When I saw her like this, I felt a little strange, and then I thought about it, maybe it was because there had been a murder in this house, so the nearby residents were taboo here, and when I thought of this, the matter made sense.

I didn't want to embarrass her anymore, so I sighed, picked up the little leather ball and walked up to her and handed it to her. The little sister took the ball, and she happily held the ball in her arms, but did not leave immediately. She stared at me with big eyes, and suddenly showed a sweet smile: "You are better looking than my previous sisters." I was stunned by her praise, and laughed a little happily, and then I twisted her bulging little face, and said, "You are a child, and you have seen a few sisters, so you know that I am better looking than others." She listened to me, as if she were dissatisfied with me as a child, and said to me, "I have seen many sisters, and I have seen all the sisters who have lived here." "Originally, when she said a lot of sisters, I noticed that her words were a little strange, but I didn't care, at this time, I suddenly heard her say that there were many sisters living here, and my heart was shocked, what does it mean that there are many other sisters living here. I didn't show it on my face, but asked her as quietly as possible, "What sister?" Have you ever lived here with a lot of sisters? ”

Seeing that I was interested, she nodded and said to me mysteriously: "I have seen many, many sisters who live here, but my mother won't let me tell others, so I don't want to talk nonsense." Then she leaned close to my ear and whispered to me, "But these sisters have not lived here for long, and one has gone, and another has come, and I don't know where they have gone, and I have not seen them leave." Listening to her words, my heart was shocked, remembering the cry I heard last night, maybe things are not so simple, maybe my thinking is wrong, I took my little sister's hand, ready to ask for some more information.

At this time, a woman suddenly walked over quickly, grabbed the little girl's arm, and then hurriedly pulled the little girl away, her mouth was still whispering: "Didn't you say that you won't run around, see how I clean you up when I go back." The little girl cried as she scolded her.

Although her movements were very fast, but in my shock, I saw clearly that the person who suddenly pulled the little girl away, looked young, and had a pair of eyes similar to the little girl, and I understood, it turned out to be the little girl's mother. I saw her look back at me as she tugged at the little girl, and her eyes were full of fear.

I don't know if it's fear of me, or fear of this house. There's still a secret here.

The woman crying in the night, the urn buried under the loquat tree, the landlord with a deep gaze, and the strange neighbors around him, everything around looked unusual.

The most important thing is that the little girl told me that there have been many women living here, and they are all tenants here, but why are they changing people frequently in half a year, and what are the ulterior secrets in this? It's so quiet for a moment, maybe I shouldn't have come out of the antique city.

Step by step, I will always encounter a lot of incomprehensible things, is it just because of my identity as a ghost mother, I am destined to not be able to live a normal life for the rest of my life, although I am always hard-mouthed, but my heart is still tired of the days of fighting and killing.
