Chapter 3: Two drowned
It's not Liu Xin who is listening to the drama with relish in the living room, who will it be!
I'm not stupid, I noticed that something was wrong when my cousin came out of the cemetery. I grabbed the water on the table and drank it down. With a glass of cold water, I was much more sober.
In the living room across the wall, the opera was still singing, and the actress's "babbling" lyrics came in through the crack in the door. In the past, when the TV switched to this one, I would hear a sentence or two. But now, in the dead of night, in the wee hours of the morning, the tune of "babbling" is even more eerie.
I held my breath and sat on the bed without making a sound.
"Bang bang...... Bang bang", the room was so quiet that I could even hear my own heartbeat. I slowly moved my body, lowered my feet from the bed, put on my slippers and walked gently to the door.
I put my ear to the door. I'm thinking, now push the door and go out, what am I going to do if it's not my cousin in the living room, it's something else, or, my cousin gets dirty, and she's sitting there with a weird expression?
I can't say to "it": Well, can you get down from my cousin for a while......
Damn, that's a tricky question, I've never dealt with anything on the ghost's body.
Behind the wall, Su Sanqi in the living room finished singing and changed to a new play. I haven't heard this tune, the sentence of a few words in the actress's mouth, "babbling" for a long time is the same as constipation before singing three words, and I feel uncomfortable listening to it.
The TV was loud and I was upset.
"Whatever!" As soon as I gritted my teeth, can a big man still be scared to death by a ghost, and he will meet it when he goes out!
I rubbed my face and let the blood flow. I pulled the door open a crack and was about to go to the living room. "Smack!" The sound of an electrical appliance turning off instantly darkened the living room.
Liu Xin, or "that thing," turned off the TV and the lights in the living room.
My house has two bedrooms and a living room in the middle, and our bedrooms are arranged diagonally. The moonlight outside the window shone in through the thin curtains, reflecting the silhouette of Liu Xin's body walking slowly.
She got up from the couch and walked towards the bedroom. In the dark living room, I watched through the moonlit silhouette on her as she pushed open the door and walked into the room.
Just as her whole body disappeared into the darkness behind the door, I discovered a detail!
Liu Xin pushed the door with her left hand, and then entered the house, but her right hand remained outside the door. In addition to the little finger, the four fingers are in the shape of a fist, only the slender little finger is cocked alone, just like a parent leading a child, and the four-finger fist is only left for the child to reach out and lead.
Her right arm slowly entered the house, and her empty little finger seemed to be holding something, and slowly entered the room with her hand.
"Bang!" She closed the door inside.
"Hemp egg!" I hid behind my door and watched everything.
Liu Xin's behavior was very strange. Play, this is especially only listened to by old men and old ladies!
I'll close the door quickly, and I'll talk about everything when I get to work tomorrow.
I went to bed, lay down and turned off the lights, and slept until dawn.
"It's good not to dream!"
The alarm went off and it was dawn. When I opened the curtains and saw the clear sky with the red sun, I was in a good mood. Today is Monday, and the company is going to have a morning meeting. I got dressed and jumped out of bed, pushed the door open and went to the living room.
"What is this?"
I saw two marks on the cushions of the sofa in the living room, and when I walked over and touched it, it was damp......
Two wet stuff sat here!
I think about it, the mother-in-law in the cemetery last night said that the two drowned, and then think about Liu Xin's abnormality last night, sitting on the sofa and watching the play......
I understand!
Packing up my things, I rushed downstairs.
In the past, when I went out in the morning, I would knock on my cousin's door and tell her that I was going to work, so that she could submit her resume at home. There is a courier to the door and put it at the door, and you will open the door again.
But I didn't say anything today. Because I know that the one who is in the house now is probably not my cousin......
Drove to the company, and all my colleagues arrived. Some of them make tea, some play with their mobile phones, and some take advantage of the time before the meeting to quickly stuff a few xiaolongbao.
I threw my satchel on the workstation and went straight to Lao Wu.
"Yo, Tian Qiang's design is here. Have you eaten, come on some? "Lao Wu is the one who stuffed Xiaolong buns wildly.
I waved my hand and said I had eaten.
Monday's morning meeting was held several times into the afternoon. If you don't fill your stomach at this time, you will be hungry if you don't have a meeting.
He ate another bun, stuffed his teeth, and put his fingers in his mouth and picked at it. Pick the shredded meat on your fingers, lick it with your tongue and eat it again. In normal times, I must have scolded him for being a starving ghost, and you still have to eat what you picked off.
But I wasn't in the mood to grind with him today, so I put my head next to his face: "Old Wu, I've encountered something, the unclean kind." ”
"Ah, really?" He looked at me in surprise. "You can't go to Miss, haunted by female ghosts. Say, there are a few female ghosts, fat or thin, hahaha......"
Lao Wu, a dead thing, eats steamed buns and makes fun of me.
"Get out! I'm that kind of person. Seriously, didn't that buddy of yours own a ghost hunting office? I want him to see that everything is done. I sat down and said to him.
I mean, Lao Wu must understand, money, not a problem.
"Okay, I'll ask you after the meeting." After he finished speaking, he swallowed the last bun with mineral water.
Our company is doing tooling design. Restaurants, hotels, apartment clubs, saunas, and baths, we do all tooling projects. Like Lao Wu, I am a designer in the company.
Design companies have a lot to worry about. The customer urges, Party A roars, and it is a very hard thing to hold a meeting in the design company!
To my surprise, today's meeting didn't last long. Just after twelve o'clock in the afternoon, it was over.
I went back to my desk with Wu.
"Let's go, find a place to eat and talk!" I put down my notebook and pen, called him, and went downstairs to Fuchun Building.
Fuchun Building is a restaurant opened by the bottom of our company. His family has a large amount of dishes, good taste, and the price is affordable. Last time, Lao Wu, the master who opened a ghost hunting office, came here to catch ghosts, and he also ate here. It was at that time that I had a relationship with this master.
We asked for a small private room, and the food was ready, and I closed the door.
"Come, tell me, what's going on." Lao Wu used chopsticks to clip off the brightly colored lion's head on the plate, and I took half of it, and he took half of it himself.
I'm speechless, was this thing a starving ghost reincarnated in his last life? I ate so many xiaolongbao in the morning, and I was hungry like this in the blink of an eye.
Seeing how fragrant he ate, I also picked up chopsticks and ate them.
The dishes are fragrant and the soup is beautiful, after a meal, I told Lao Wu all the information about taking Liu Xin to sweep the tomb yesterday, the car accident and traffic jam, the old lady I met in the cemetery, and Liu Xin came back to listen to the play.
"Uh...... Uh......" This thing burped twice in a row, pulled out a toothpick and picked his teeth.
"That's it, how big should I be." He was full of food and drink, and stretched out.
"What's the matter? Big brother, my sister is probably ghosted! And, like two drowned ghosts running to my house together! ”
I looked at him, and honestly, if I hadn't asked him for help, and I needed him to help me bring in a master, with his unconcerned expression, I really wanted to stuff him under the table and stomp on him as a little strongman.
"Tian Qiang, don't worry, listen to my brother's words, of course, this is also what Confucius said - you are in a hurry!"
He beckoned me to sit down and said, "Listen to you, your house really looks like a ghost." However, did you know that there are good ghosts and evil ghosts? Not all demons come to harm people......"
"Buzz...... Buzz ......"
As he spoke, my phone suddenly vibrate. When I picked it up, it was strange that the surveillance camera in my house was turned on. The picture is my living room, the figure in the living room is shaking, I looked, it was Liu Xin!
What's going on, she graduated from college two months ago, and when she moved into my house, I told her that there had been thieves in our community recently, and I installed a probe in my house, which was a yellow puppy in a bookcase. Turn the puppy's nose and the camera will shoot at the living room when it is activated.
If you stay at home, I won't open it. Sister, you can submit your resume at home, watch TV in the living room, don't turn on the camera by mistake and wander around the living room, your innocence will be seen by your brother and me!
Of course, this is a joke I told her.
Where the camera is and how to turn it on, she knows. But today, what did she turn on the camera for?
Lao Wu also leaned his head over to look at it.
At this time, Liu Xin sat down in the picture, sitting on two wet sofas. She spread out her palms and placed two hard-boiled eggs on the coffee table. She slowly peeled the shell, picked up an egg, and hovered it in the air with her hand raised.
Suddenly, an inexplicable scene appeared: in broad daylight, under the noses of Lao Wu and me, in the clear mobile phone screen, a piece of the egg in Liu Xin's hand was eaten out of thin air.
A row of tiny tooth marks appear in the missing part of the egg......
"I'm here, me!" When Lao Wu saw this scene, his face turned white directly!
