7. A small handkerchief that is shaken

I waited in the café for fifteen minutes before Xin came in. She smiled apologetically at me and sat down across from me. She took a sip of the cappuccino before she said slowly, "I haven't been in this shop for a long time. I've also heard others talk about this matter, and I don't know much about it, so I'll tell you simply, 1204 has died. "I was cold and didn't speak. Xin continued: "I heard that 1204 was also a company, and then the owner of the company had an affair. He is rich and powerful, so he blatantly goes out with his lover. In this way, his wife was naturally reluctant and quarreled with him several times, but he was not afraid at all. And I heard that his lover was also very strong, and later his wife had no choice but to find a short meeting. He committed suicide in 1204. Since then, 1204 has not been peaceful. Later, the boss closed the company as well. ”

Xin raised her eyes and looked at me, but said no more. I urged her, "Gone?" Xin shrugged gracefully: "I know so much." This was not a good thing, and the news was quickly blocked. Otherwise, how can this upstairs room be rented? So a lot of people don't know. ”

"Then I don't understand, it happened in 1204, why do strange things happen so often in our room 1205? Isn't there nothing going on in your store? ”

Xin casually shook her long hair: "Our store is fine, and the other rooms are fine." It's 1205. It was a beauty salon before you came. After the woman's death, the beauty salon was in a big uproar. One of my manicurists also saw a strange thing with his own eyes. ”

As is customary, for the sake of convenience, I directly retell her words at that time in Xin's tone.

As soon as I arrived, a couple of nail technicians told me that our shop would close at 7 p.m. every night, and that everyone should go together and not leave alone. I was very strange and asked them why, because you should know that there will be business after 7 p.m. Some customers will get their nails done after work. So it's weird to close at 7 o'clock. They told me about 1204. Moreover, a nail technician has experienced an unexplained strange thing firsthand.

This manicurist's name is Mei. One night, around 8 o'clock, Mei went to the hallway to take a break, and happened to see a beautician at 1205 answering the phone in the hallway. It is estimated that there are no customers, and the beauticians are relatively idle. Because they are neighbors, the two also know each other. The beautician smiled at her and continued on the phone. Probably happily, the beautician unknowingly paced in front of the door of 1204. Because 1204 had just died, everyone was a little afraid of it, and Mei wanted to remind her, but she couldn't say anything about her lively phone calls. Just as she finished the call, something strange happened.

The beautician suddenly stood there with his head down, not moving or speaking. Mei thought it was strange and called her, saying what's wrong with you? The beautician laughed a few times strangely, still lowered his head and didn't look at people, and said, "I'm fine, it's okay!" "Her accent has changed, she usually speaks Mandarin or dialect, and at this time, her accent is weird, anyway, it is definitely not her usual accent. As he spoke, he took out a small handkerchief and shook a corner in his left and right hands in front of his face. May continued to ask her, "What the hell is wrong with you?" I don't think there's something wrong with you. The beautician was still the same, and said in a weird accent, "I didn't do much!" I'm fine! "At the same time, I was still throwing my handkerchief there.

Mei is too young, and although she feels strange, she is helpless. It just so happened that Aunt Wu, who was cleaning in our store, came out of work. Mei grabbed Aunt Wu, pointed at the beautician and said, "Aunt Wu, look what's wrong with her." I don't think there's something wrong with her. ”

Aunt Wu is old, has experienced a lot of things, and is more experienced. She took a closer look at the beautician, and suddenly she pressed at her viciously. Step by step, the beautician retreated into the corner. Aunt Wu asked her loudly, "Who are you?" Where are you from? "The beautician doesn't speak. Aunt Wu shouted again: "You go quickly, if you don't go, I'll pinch you." He said that he pinched the beautician's man with his hand. The beautician blocked it with his hand, smiled and said, "I'll go!" I'm leaving! As he spoke, there was no movement.

The beautician woke up from a big dream at this time, and looked at Aunt Wu and Mei strangely. He also asked strangely: "Mei, what are you doing?" "The accent is also normal. Mei breathed a sigh of relief and asked her what was wrong. The beautician said, "Not really." I remember answering the phone, and after answering it, I felt confused, and then I saw you. ”

According to Aunt Wu, she was possessed by a ghost. As soon as this news spread, many people were scared, and the beauticians of 1205 were so scared that they couldn't do it. In fact, there is more than that, after the woman's death, the beauty salon was turned upside down. One by one, the beauticians quit, and the beauty salons closed their doors when they couldn't keep open. As for why this ...... Let's call her a "ghost", why she keeps harassing 1205, whether the woman who died in 1204 has some relationship with 1205, I don't know.

After listening to Xin's speech, my heart was heavy. How did we rent such an unlucky room. I paid the bill and walked out of the café with Xin. It's already dark outside. I looked up and could see the window of 1204, and the black hole seemed to hide an infinite number of secrets.

A cool night breeze blew, Xin looked back at me and said, "Maybe I shouldn't say this, but I think ...... If you can withdraw your shares, you might as well leave as soon as possible. It's not a good place to stay any longer. I sighed, and Xin knew that I was in a bad mood, and smiled and said, "Come up with me, I'll paint your nails." Draw a golden 'Buddha' character on your ring finger. I smiled, "What's that!" But she said very seriously: "There is a rich merchant like this, who paints in our shop, and every time he paints the word 'Buddha' on his fingernails." He said the Buddha would bless him. Come on, this one is free for you, I'll draw it for you myself, I rarely do my nails myself. ”

I politely declined Xin's kindness and watched her leave. I looked up at 1204 again, and I don't know if it was a hallucination or real, but I seemed to see a woman's figure standing straight behind the glass in the darkness.

Postscript: Just now, I made a special appointment with Xin and asked her to recall the plot at that time, because I wanted to keep things as true as possible. In addition, according to her, there was a lot of trouble in the beauty salon at that time, so I also hoped that she would tell me a few more things and let me write about them. But Xin doesn't seem to want to remember those terrible things anymore, after all, it's been 6 years. I had no choice but to give up.
