Chapter 48: The Master of the House
"This will be our home in the future, your room is the first room on the left side of the second floor, and you have to live in a separate room by yourself, you know?" A woman in her forties spoke to a male child who looked to be twelve or thirteen years old.
"Oh, okay..."The boy responded listlessly, the boy looks more special, he doesn't look like an Asian, he's a mixed-race child, his mother is a Chinese-American, he met a Canadian because of his work arrangement, and got married and had children, and then he encountered natural and man-made disasters, unfortunately died of death, due to the problem of living expenses, the mother and son moved to this house on the edge of the city, the child's mother thought about going back to the United States, but she knows everything better here, and is more familiar with it, compared to the United States, I probably liked it better, so I found a cheap house to live in.
On the first night of sleeping, the little boy sleepwalked in the middle of the night, walked down from the upstairs bedroom, the bedrooms are upstairs, the first floor is the hall and the kitchen in one, the negative one is the laundry room and warehouse, a typical European and American single-family house design, after walking down, open the refrigerator, take out four or five bottles of beer, eyes are still closed, sit on the sofa and turn on the TV with his eyes closed, as if he is watching, laughing while watching, it is all English programs, although the child can speak English, but for many of the programs in it do not understand the jokes, But the child seemed to understand perfectly, and he laughed endlessly, and kept drinking, and his eyes were closed, but he seemed to be able to see.
The sound of the TV woke up the mother who was sleeping upstairs, and the mother came down from upstairs to see this scene, and was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and tentatively called her son's name, but the son didn't respond, and screamed again, and the son looked angry and turned his head from facing the TV to his mother and said, "Shut up, I'm watching TV." Hearing the child's voice, the mother almost fainted, the voice sounded very old, not like the voice from the mouth of a child, the mother plucked up the courage to walk next to the child and shook the child who was still closing his eyes, although the child closed his eyes, but the mother still felt like she was staring at herself.
The child began to speak, "I don't think it's appropriate for you to go into someone else's house without your consent, and now you disturb the head of the house by drinking two bottles of beer from you." The mother didn't know what to say, and she didn't react to what happened, the child suddenly fell on the sofa at this time, the mother shook the child, the child was confused and coquettish, the mother struggled to carry the child upstairs, and then watched the bed for a long time, thinking about a lot of things.
The next day, the mother took the child to see a psychologist and a psychiatrist, everything was normal, and on the third day, the child suddenly caught a cold and fever, and the mother let the child rest at home, asked for leave from school, and went to work by himself.
The child was reading comics in bed, and after a while wanted to drink water, he came out of the bedroom and went to the kitchen to drink water, just took a sip, and heard the sound of the TV in the living room behind him, the child looked at the TV, the program was a program that he didn't like, the child came over and turned it off with the remote control, turned around to go back to the bedroom to continue reading comics, the TV rang again, the same program, the child walked over and patted the TV, and then turned it off, and when he turned it off, he saw an old man shouting to himself: "Get out!" You dead boy!! This frightened the child back and hit the back of his head on the TV, he was already dizzy and feverish, and this time he fainted directly.
When the mother came home from work in the afternoon, she saw that the child was still in a coma, and she was anxious to shake the child, and the child did not respond to the ambulance call, and when the ambulance came, some people had come to watch, and the child's mother wanted to go with the ambulance when she thought that the middle-aged woman who lived next door said: "Get out of here, don't live here." The child's mother just listened to the child's thoughts, so she followed her to the hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, all the examinations were done, and I came back after confirming that there was no problem, and when I came back, I remembered what the middle-aged woman said, so I knocked on the door, and the middle-aged woman opened the door and looked at her, she said, "Hello, I live next door to you, what do you mean by not living here today?" ”
The middle-aged woman looked at her and said, "You don't know anything? Let's move. The child's mother became more curious, looked at the middle-aged woman and said eagerly, "Please tell me." The middle-aged woman said: "There is an old man who died in it, no children and no daughters, although he died, but at night the TV will be on, the chair will move by itself, and from time to time there will be an old man's voice, sometimes it is scolding, sometimes it is laughing again, no matter what the sound is, I don't think it's a good thing, I live next door and want to move, I didn't expect someone to move in." ”
The child's mother listened to the back of her head buzzing, she was entrusting an intermediary to find a cheap house, but she didn't expect to find a haunted house for herself, she was still very satisfied with the house, she lost her temper when she found an intermediary, and the intermediary also lost her temper, disgusted with the little money given, it would be good to be able to rent, and after breaking up, she finally found a satisfactory house, this time there was no strange thing, I wish their mother and son all the best in the future.
