The mobile phone ringtone came from the house where Uncle Zhang lived.

But at this moment, Uncle Zhang's door is still closed.

And there was a lock on the door, and in the lock, there was an iron lock.

"You can't be kidding me, are you?" After a while, I asked Meng Xiang with a wry smile.

"Am I that bored?" Meng Xiang's face turned pale, and he seemed to be more nervous than me, "When I woke up in the morning, I heard a very loud wheezing sound in the room on your side, which scared me to quickly get dressed and come over!" I saw you in bed with your eyes open, your head smashed, your teeth gritted, and your eyes full of tears. I called you a few times, but you didn't answer, so I was so anxious that I had no choice but to slap you a few times. ”

She meant that she didn't have the time or the heart to joke with me.

So I had to bite the bullet and walk to the door of Uncle Zhang's room.

But the phone rings for too long, and it has naturally stopped.

I motioned for Meng Xiang to dial again, and the sudden ringing of the bell was really coming from Uncle Zhang's room.

I determined, puffed up, and raised my hand to remove the iron lock from the lock.

Meng Xiang actually reached out and grabbed my arm.

"Don't!" She said, with a palpable fear on her face.

"You can't even leave my phone, can you?" I forced my composure and smiled at her.

Then I gritted my teeth, twisted the lock, pulled the buckle, and pushed the door open.

The first thing I saw was two dim dim lights, staring at me fiercely.

I involuntarily took a step back, and only then did I see that the big black dog was standing in front of the door.

And those two bits of light are its eyes.

I heard it whine and whined, and I was afraid that it would pounce and have to back away again.

Meng Xiang also saw the black dog, grabbed my arm with one hand, and asked me in a trembling voice: "It's it...... How did you get in? ”

How can I know?

Not to mention that it is impossible for a black dog to learn to lock and lock an iron lock, and even if it could, it would not be possible for it to lock itself in the house from the outside after entering the house.

This dog is really big, more than half a man tall, and I would avoid it in normal times.

But my phone was still in the house, so I had to bend down and try to lull the black dog out of the door.

But before I could make a sound, the dog barked, and suddenly burst out of the door, straight out of the half-open back door.

I breathed a sigh of relief and approached the door of the room where Uncle Zhang lived again.

I saw that there were windows in the house, but the windows were facing the kitchen at the back, so it was dark.

I dared to go into the house, and by the light projected by the door, I found the light switch wire, turned the light on, and then carefully inspected the furnishings in the house.

There is also a wooden shelf bed, except for an old-fashioned wardrobe about a meter wide at the foot of the bed.

Because of the split door, there should have been two glass mirrors on the door, but now one side of the glass mirror is completely gone, and a thin wooden board is replaced and pressed to the position where the glass mirror is installed.

The remaining glass mirror also had several cracks.

Looking at the window, only half of the window was glass. The other half was also replaced with thin wooden planks.

I shook the window with my hand, and it closed tightly, and the latch was also tightly inserted underneath.

In other words, the black dog didn't come in through this window.

I didn't see the shadow of my mobile phone, so I had to ask Meng Xiang to call my mobile phone number again.

Then I found out that the ringing was actually coming from the closet.

I looked at Meng Xiang and found that Meng Xiang pursed his lips tightly, and his face became more and more tense.

In fact, my nerves were tense, and I had to take a few breaths before reaching out and pulling the handle of the cabinet door.

Luckily, there wasn't anything moving hidden in the cabinet.

The cabinet is divided into two layers, and the lower layer is a mess of clothes stuffed with a faint musty smell, obviously some old clothes.

The cabinet is one level up, but there are only a few bits and pieces.

There's a mirror, a comb, and a few cheap face oils.

Plus a pair of pliers, a driver, a pair of scissors, and some needlework and thread.

In addition, I found two thin picture books, with a frame squared on them, and my mobile phone was on top of the frame.

I first picked up my phone, opened it and looked at it, and made sure it was my phone.

Then I reached out and picked up the frame along with the album.

The two picture albums are actually used by children to read and write.

Judging from the extent of the damage to the book cover, if someone doesn't look through it from time to time, it is that these two albums were originally picked up by Uncle Zhang.

And in my guess, the second is more likely.

An old photograph is embedded in the frame.

The photographs are in color, but the colors have been rather dull and have existed for at least ten or twenty years.

There are two men and two women in the photo, and the clothes on their bodies are exactly what they were dressed in in the countryside ten or twenty years ago.

The two sitting in front of them were obviously parents.

The two standing behind were either sons and daughters, or sons and daughters-in-law.

And judging from the situation where the man put one hand on the woman's shoulder, it should be the son and daughter-in-law.

- But I guessed wrong!

When I walked to the door and handed the photo to Meng Xiang, who refused to enter the house, Meng Xiang opened his mouth and said, "This is Uncle Zhang and his wife, with his daughter and son-in-law!" ”

"Have you seen this picture?" I asked.

"Of course! Last time I came to do a site survey, I also came in to inspect this house. Meng Xiang replied.

"Then why are his daughters, sons-in-law, and his wife gone?"

"Uncle Zhang only said that he was dead, and if he asked more, he ignored me, and I couldn't really interrogate him as a prisoner."

"Then you didn't ask the nearby mountain people about it?"

"Of course I inquired! However, there are very few residents in such deep mountains and old forests, and the nearest one is two hours walk from here. In addition, Uncle Zhang never interacts with people, so the affairs of his family are not clear to others. I only heard an old man say that Uncle Zhang had a daughter and recruited a son-in-law. But then something seemed to have happened, her daughter and son-in-law died, and Aunt Zhang also died, leaving Uncle Zhang alone. ”

"Something's wrong? What happened? I asked.

The man wouldn't say! But the man is already old, and it was ten or twenty years ago, and I don't think he can remember it clearly, so it won't be a good thing anyway. …… Let's not talk about that, okay? Even if you want to talk about it, you will talk about it when you get out of the mountain. ”

Seeing Meng Xiang's face full of pleading, I finally nodded and didn't ask any more.

I lowered my head and looked at the photo again, and suddenly my heart jumped, and when I looked carefully, the old woman sitting next to Uncle Zhang, at least in my opinion, looked a little like the old woman who appeared strangely twice in a row yesterday afternoon.

It's just that the one in the photo is obviously much younger than the old woman, unlike the old woman's cloudy eyes and wrinkled face.

- Maybe the elderly will be a little similar!

That's all I can do to comfort myself.
