Chapter Thirty-Six: Midnight Noise
After entering the door, after seeing Xu Biao and Bu Xinxiao, the girl frowned, as if she felt that the two people in front of her were too young, which made her feel not very relieved.
After looking at the two of them for a long time, she asked Bu Xinxiao:
"You're Master Xu Biao, right? I was introduced by a friend and would like to ask you to help me see something."
Xu Biao listened to it with a wry smile on his face, and said in his heart that my image is really not good. I should really lose weight when I take the time, otherwise standing with Brother Bu, it is obvious that he is much more handsome than me, and the little girl subconsciously thinks that he is the master.
The troublesome Bu Xinxiao was also quite embarrassed, and his heart said that I am not noisy, and hurriedly pointed to Xu Biao and introduced:
"Well, I'm not, I'm his friend, this is Master Xu who sees things!"
When the girl heard this, she was emotionally troubled for a long time, and she asked the wrong person, how embarrassing it was. hurriedly said hello to Xu Biao again, and after a few people sat down, the girl talked about the matter carefully and carefully, and Xu Biao and Bu Xinxiao also felt very strange after listening to it.
It turned out that the girl's name was Wang Xiaoxue, and her hometown was from a nearby township, and she worked here as an accountant in a small private company.
The salary income is okay, and she can get more than 3,000 points per month, but the company does not provide a place to live, so she has to rent a house by herself.
Originally, there was nothing to do, but recently the house she rented expired, and she got a new house, in order to save rent, she looked for a slightly more remote old building area.
The house is on the third floor, although the house is broken, but the water, electricity and heating are also easy to use, it is cheap, and it can save a large part of the expenses.
After moving in during the day, Wang Xiaoxue finished cleaning the room, but she was also tired, so she took a shower and went to bed early. Who knew that if you slept until midnight, something strange would happen.
Just when she was half asleep, she clearly felt the sound of children laughing and playing in the living room of the room, accompanied by the sound of dripping glass balls colliding with floor tiles.
It's like a child playing marbles in the living room, this thing was very common in Dongbei in the past, both boys and girls have played with it, and Wang Xiaoxue also played with it when she was a child, so when she heard the sound, she felt familiar.
At first, she didn't take it seriously, thinking that she had heard it wrong, it was the upstairs and downstairs children who were naughty so they played this in the middle of the night.
I wanted to go back to sleep, but the sound kept going on for an hour. Her temper also came up, and she said in her heart that there was no such disturbance to the people, and she didn't let people sleep in the middle of the night.
Whose children? Parents don't know how to manage under constraints. Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoxue got up angrily, went out and went upstairs.
It took a few minutes before a sound came from inside, and it sounded a little old, and it should be quite old.
"Who? In the middle of the night, the door is still slammed, and no one is allowed to sleep? ”
"Ah, I'm a new move downstairs, do you have children at home, can you let him go to bed and stop playing, I have to go to work tomorrow morning"
"What little kid, neurotic, right? Our family is an old couple, and there are no children! ”
There was a whining sound from inside the door, and it was no wonder that whoever was woken up in the middle of the night had to be angry.
Wang Xiaoxue wanted to continue to verify, but there was no sound inside, so she should have gone into the house to sleep. She didn't give up, thinking that it might be that the old couple doted on their grandson and couldn't bear to discipline her and lied to her.
So she quietly lay at the door and eavesdropped, if the voice of a child came from inside, then it would be considered a catch, and then see what else you have to say.
Unfortunately, she listened for several minutes, and there was silence inside, except for the occasional snoring, and as for the sound of children playing just now, it was indeed none.
"Weird, huh? It's supposed to be upstairs, is it a voice from downstairs? ”
At this time, Wang Xiaoxue couldn't make up her mind, after all, there might be movement upstairs and downstairs.
Now the people upstairs don't admit it, and they haven't heard any strange noise, it's likely that it's a sound from downstairs, thinking of this, she rushed downstairs again.
There was a knock at the door as usual, but this time no matter how she banged, there was no movement inside, as if there was no one, and finally the old man upstairs knocked on it, opened the door and roared:
"Who, don't let people sleep, you little girl, I'm going to call the police if you're like this! The downstairs has been empty for a year, and no one lives in it."
Yes? No one lives? I said why didn't there be any movement, did I just hear it wrong? Nothing happening? Maybe I'm too tired from moving today and hallucinating?
After hearing this, Wang Xiaoxue also doubted her own judgment, and thought that she was too tired and misheard. After all, it doesn't seem that there are any children upstairs, and this downstairs has been empty for a year.
After tossing for a long time, she didn't feel sleepy, and after she went back, she watched the TV series, and she didn't see it until more than four o'clock in the morning, and then she fell asleep, and there was no abnormal sound during this period.
The next day she didn't take it seriously, she was supposed to go to work, but in the middle of the night, she was woken up again, and it was the same sound of children playing and the sound of glass balls dripping and slipping as last night.
This time she heard it clearly, the sound was indeed coming from the living room, but this house lived alone, and there could be no children.
Could it be a ghost? The house is not clean? The more Wang Xiaoxue thought about it, the more scared she became, on weekdays, like most girls, she often likes to watch some supernatural and exciting movies.
At this time, these movie pictures appeared in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became, where did she dare to get up and check like yesterday, she could only shrink her body tightly in the quilt, and she didn't dare to show her head.
Begging to hurry up to dawn, when the time comes, I can ask the landlord to see if I can refund the rent for myself and find another place to live again.
I don't know how long it took for the sound of the child playing to gradually disappear, Wang Xiaoxue was frightened that she hadn't slept all the time, for fear that the sound would come again when she fell asleep.
finally managed to get to dawn, she hurriedly called the landlord to inquire, but the landlord pushed three, six or five, and didn't know anything, only said that Wang Xiaoxue had a problem with her ears, and she didn't give the check-out rent, and if she was forced to leave, she wouldn't return a penny.
This year's rent plus deposit, Wang Xiaoxue's salary for a few months, where is she willing to give up, so she has to scold the landlord for being unscrupulous, and she has to endure it.
She wanted to resell the house and rent it to others, but unfortunately when she signed the contract, the landlord clearly added a clause that it was not allowed to sublet to others halfway.
She had no choice but to bite the bullet, pray for peace tonight, and find a female colleague in the unit as a companion, so she dared to go home and continue to live.
