Chapter 45: The Mysterious Number
The girl sitting in front of the chair pulled out a box of cigarettes and was about to light the fire. When he heard the voice, he turned his head. I made up a face to collide with the old ghost, and the lighter in my hand fell off the palm under the blanket.
There was a noise in the room. The lantern on the top shook and shook.
The old ghost almost punched backwards, kicking his leg forward, just to the corner of the stool. The little girl was suddenly startled, and her movements were so fast that she suddenly failed to sit still, and slid from the stool as round as water to the ground.
rolled on the ground and rolled around, the cigarette in his mouth fell from his mouth, and the two pigtails were scattered and messy.
The old ghost stood in front of the stool, looking at her with his hands on his hips, and his eyes revealed a cold light.
The girl lay on the ground with her hands on her feet, looked up in embarrassment, and saw a strange old man in front of her. And I don't know it at all.
With a big beard, look at how ugly it looks. His beard was full of wine, and his cheeks were covered with black mud. I almost want to throw up.
The girl screamed and jumped up from the blanket, and her skirt didn't have time to be pulled up. hurriedly turned sideways and picked up a three-meter-long broom next to the table, turned his head, and hit him with a backhand stick on his head.
The old ghost was stunned for a moment, and was about to open his mouth to explain. The broom smashed its head into the heart of his head, creating a big bubble.
"Thieves, there are thieves, who will catch the thieves!"
The girl's voice was so loud that it could be heard clearly in a radius of dozens of feet outside almost the entire room.
This time the old ghost can be so frightened that there is nothing wrong with his hands, and it is not to retreat, nor is it to advance. I could only shrink back and hold my head and step back.
The girl still didn't give up, hit her head with a stick on her left, and stabbed her waist with a blow from her right.
There was a flurry of finger sticks, the black hair was scattered and fluffy over the shoulders, and the little round face was red and haggard like lychee skin. At the same time as three or five steps were pressing, eight or nine sticks were swinging so that the old ghost was almost looking for teeth.
In an instant, the rough face was already white and purple, purple and red, red with blue inside, and miserable outside of blue.
The screams continued in this small room of less than twenty square meters, and the red light on the top flashed again and again, making the old ghost almost retreat in the corner with his whole body covered. The scroll leaned against the bookcase and nested underneath.
The girl held the broom in her hand, took advantage of the victory, and poked straight down the middle of the old ghost's crotch. "Ah!!h The scream almost cracked the glass windows on the balcony.
The girl put away the broom and did not give up. Sideways to remove a large speaker from the bookcase, turned back to the old ghost's head, eyebrows burned into an arc, revealing two tiger teeth about to be raised above his head.
"Wait! Your mom is dead! The old ghost raised his hand in the corner and shouted in a panicked voice.
"Your mother just died!" The girl replied angrily, raised the speaker above her head, and smashed it directly at the old ghost's body.
"Bang dang!" There was a violent thunderclap.
The stereo smashed directly into the old ghost's knee. The old ghost was almost unable to scream for a moment. His mouth was spitting black blood, his eyes were already red, and there was only the sound of withered breathing.
Despite this, the old ghost still let out a deep voice from his throat: "You...... Your mom is really dead. ”
When the girl heard this, she was even more annoyed. He rubbed the broom in his hand against his neck again, "You thief, I'll call the police immediately!" ”
The girl poked a few times and tossed the broom aside. He quickly took out his mobile phone from his jeans, opened the phone cover, and called the police.
But the old ghost still stretched out his hand into the void, opened his five fingers, and trembled his lips: "You...... You...... Mom is really dead. ”
The phone rang a few times before the girl put the phone down her ear. His eyes stared at the old ghost and said, "Who are you?" Who are you? How did it get here? ”
The old ghost was pale, and his limbs trembled. At this moment, he was covered in injuries, dizzy and slumped in the corner, unable to say a word. Just look at it with dry eyes.
The girl patted the dust on her skirt and looked at him again, "What do you mean?" If I don't say it, I'll call the police. "
"You...... You...... Have you really seen your mother? The old ghost said almost dying.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" From the girl's eyes, it seemed that she had begun to believe his words slowly.
"You know your mother...... What's your mother's last name? The old ghost leaned against the corner, and as he spoke, a mouthful of old blood spurted out of his mouth.
The girl was obviously a little impatient, and the heavy makeup on her face was a little spent. He wiped the lipstick on his lips with his sleeve, and asked again, "What the hell do you want to say?" Her surname is Shen, is there anything else you want to ask? ”
Shen ...... Shen basket? The old ghost almost used all his strength to say the last word, and as soon as his eyes were closed, he collapsed.
When the girl saw this scene, she was stunned. Slowly put the phone back in his pocket, and looked down at the bloody old man lying in the corner. After hesitating for a moment, he first looked at the strangely shaped clothes, with a black gauze hat on his head and a cloak covering his back.
The girl looked him up and down suspiciously, and the tension on her face began to relax slowly. Maybe he doesn't feel like a bad person. After a few sighs, he helped the old ghost up and dragged him to the bed in the room, and after putting it on, he covered it with a quilt.
The girl looked back at the narrow entrance of the ladder, and it was quiet downstairs, as if there was no one at all. After the girl had settled the old ghost, she turned and walked to the ladder, and as she walked, she shouted to the temptation to stay, "Mother? Are you there? ”
There was no one downstairs who responded, as if there was no one.
When she walked to the sides of the ladder, her hand held on to the guardrail above, she slowly moved down the stairs, put her head under the handrail, looked at the living room on the first floor, and called softly, "Is there anyone?" ”
There was still no response, and the girl went down the stairs to the living room, and when she came to the living room, she found that there was no one. The refrigerator is still the same as before, the cupboard is still the same as before, and there is a mahogany table plus four benches.
The girl came to the refrigerator, reached out and opened it, and found that it was full of chopped cabbage slices and messy onion cubes. The smell was so strong that it almost burned my eyes.
At this moment, the door of the house was suddenly blown open by the wind. The door revealed a gap, and a black cat slowly crawled in. Meow meowed three times in a row, and crawled all the way down the blanket laid out in front of the door to under the table.
The girl looked back at the cat and reacted very loudly. He went up and tossed over the table, grabbed the cat with his hand, ran to the window, threw it out of the balcony, and scolded, "Get out, you dead cat, don't come to our house again." ”
The wild cat was thrown on the soil in the garden, turned around twice, crowed, and got up again. He turned and threw himself under the wall, jumped out of the wall.
The girl was angry and pulled the window down directly. "Bang!" The crisp sound of glass shook the room, and then the curtains were closed casually.
This girl seems to have a bad temper, although she is wearing a school uniform, she is quite fashionable. I put on a thick layer of makeup on my face. Especially the string of silver earrings hanging from her ears, looking at the queen in the root palace.
and her small hands with fine skin and tender flesh, at first glance, she is a young lady who has never done housework. He walks very well, but he looks quite energetic.
By this time, after the girl threw the black cat out of the window, her stomach had begun to growl with hunger. I don't know what she ate at home before, and I don't know if her mother is a human or a ghost.
In short, in this seemingly old little house, except for her, it was the old ghost, and he didn't see the so-called third party at all.
The girl stood at the table and briefly straightened her black hair, which was full of hairpins. I walked to the refrigerator again and reached out to pull open the fresh-keeping layer. Continuing to look inside, I wanted to reach in and take out a cabbage.
But as soon as he touched the palm of his hand to the cabbage, he was so frightened that he retracted his hand again, and the expression on his face became more and more ugly every second. He said to himself to the refrigerator, "What is this, can you eat it?" ”
In desperation, the little girl kicked the refrigerator with her foot. He took out his phone from the pocket of his jeans and made a delivery call on the screen. It seems that I want to order food, but it is already two or three o'clock in the night, and there is any takeaway.
Despite this, the little girl still had the courage to call the delivery number on the phone. The phone rang for a while. Sure enough, a young man's voice came from the other end of the number.
"Girl...... Want to order takeout? His voice stammered, and he coughed twice from time to time, sounding like a terminally ill disabled person.
The little girl immediately put her phone to her ear and replied urgently: "Three steaks, two bottles of beer, and a bowl of popcorn, hurry, ten minutes!" "He speaks very quickly and has an old-fashioned voice, which sounds like an old fritter who often orders food.
But on the other end of the earpiece, a shrill voice came again: "No...... No, only fritters and soy milk are left, do you want it? ”
"To ...... Yes, try to be as fast as possible, I don't have time to wait for you. With that, the girl hung up the phone.
Hey, this phone just hung up. There was a knock at the door. I knocked four or five times in a row, and the knock was so heavy that it was like slamming the door. "Jump! Jump! Jump! ……”
"Girl, the takeaway you want has arrived, come out and get it!"
The girl's mobile phone was almost unstable, and she turned her head tremblingly, staring at the gate, and her heart was in her throat. His eyes were apprehensive and he replied, "I...... I didn't order takeout, you delivered the wrong one. ”
"Three steaks, two beers, and a bowl of popcorn, didn't that just say that? cough cough cough ...... cough cough cough ......"
A young man's voice came from outside the door, and it felt like he was going to cough up blood in his throat. Every time a word is spoken, there is an unnatural pause of two seconds.
The girl was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word, and her trembling petite body slowly moved her two thin legs to the handrail of the stairs, and her shoes were about to go away.
"What? You don't speak? If you don't speak, I'll come in? ”
When the little girl heard this, she suddenly felt numb and sat down directly on the ladder, so panicked that her tears diluted the heavy makeup on her face.
dragged his body numb for a few seconds, and said to the door with tears in his eyes: "Don't ...... Don't come in! ”
The little girl was numb and sitting, and she couldn't sit still. Because she didn't remember when that string of numbers appeared on her phone before, there was an extra string of numbers on the screen inexplicably.
Although she often has a little takeout, this time, she is really completely confused.
"Don't you want your takeout?" The young man's voice came from outside the door again.
"No...... Don't. The little girl said indistinctly, tears already moistening her face.
"How's that going, aren't you afraid of starving?"
As he spoke, the door was pushed open. Suddenly, the little girl was so frightened that she turned and climbed up the attic with every step she took, but in spite of this, she climbed up with her hands against the wall.
Just as the door outside the house was pushed open, a gust of wind blew in. There was no figure outside the door, and from the threshold to the living room, there were inexplicably rows of footprints on the floor.
The footprints were wide, and the dust on the ground was heavy. Stepped on a deep piece of silver.
This long row of prints spread all the way under the table. At the same time, the headlights in the living room suddenly went out, and as the footprints stretched down the stairs, the chandeliers on both sides of the corridor went out with it.
Wherever the footprints go, the lights will be extinguished in a short moment, and now it will become extremely dark.
At this moment, the little girl rolled her body and slowly climbed to the attic. When I was about to shrink up, I didn't know what was wrapped around the soles of my feet, so I couldn't move.
In a hurry, the girl picked up the broom under the corner of the wall, closed her eyes, and struck it on the stairs with a stick. The strange power disappeared in an instant.
The little girl took advantage of the situation and folded her feet back, rolling her whole body into the corridor of the attic.
Although the little girl's body was in pain, she didn't care. Supporting the blanket with his hands, he quickly stood up again. Turning around and rushing towards the big bed in the room, he ran away.
When I came to the big bed, the old ghost on the bed was still lying flat on it. The little girl pushed him hard and hurriedly shouted, "Wake up, help me!" ”
But the old ghost slept like a dead pig, snoring louder than a sparrow, and sleeping like a dead pig. I can't wake up no matter how I scream.
In an instant, the sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the ladder again, and the sound gradually spread to the corridor of the attic, slowly approaching the inside of the room.
The little girl was so frightened that she burst into tears, and looked back at the ladder in the corner of the attic. I was surprised to find that there were rows of black footprints in the corridor at some point, and the footprints were still expanding inward.
As they approached the door of the room, the lights on both sides of the corridor went out in an instant, and the door staggered and squeaked.
The little girl immediately rushed to the door of the room, pulled the deadbolt in one breath, and closed the door of the room. He ran to the balcony of the room, closed the two transparent windows, and closed the curtains.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the room. It's like a big man holding a hammer outside the door and smashing the door frame desperately.
A few seconds later, the door cracked open in two broken cracks, and wood scum fell from the top of the door to the ground.
The little girl was holding on to the balcony with her hands, leaning on it, and her body was almost unconscious. His body stiffened as mud and stared at the door with his eyes.
"Ahem...... Girl, do you want your fritters? It's getting cold, and you won't come out and get one. ”
The little girl burst into tears and could not move. As a result, the door outside the house was slammed open by a violent force, and a strong wind blew outside the room.
A black figure walked in, and he couldn't see it clearly, only that he was carrying a black plastic bag in his hand, and it was still hot.
I don't know what was in the pocket, and there was red water on the outside, dripping onto the blanket.
The little girl leaned against the corner of the wall, suddenly startled, and looked left and right with a numb head. I couldn't find a sharp weapon for a while, so I had to move the flower pot on the balcony in my hand, turned around and smashed it directly at the black figure.
"Ding Zero Zero!" The pot shattered on the floor.
But the black figure didn't move. When the footsteps reached the bed, the screen on the surrounding computer desk suddenly went black. The room was already nowhere to be seen, nothing could be seen, and there was a black and hemp patch everywhere.
The little girl didn't know if the flower pot had hit the figure's head, but she could hear it clearly in her ears, and the footsteps were getting deeper and deeper, and the sound was close to her.
In desperation, the little girl screamed, covered her ears with her hands, buried her head under the floor, and her body kept shaking.
A moment later, the sound of a sword unsheathed could be heard in the room. Then there was another scream.
The whole room was filled with the sound of turmoil, the sound of tables, chandeliers, and computers crashing for a while, about three minutes or so. But then the sound stopped.
When it stopped, the lights in the room came on.
The big white quilt was rolled up and the table was overturned. The computer screen was smashed to pieces. Just in front of the door, stood the back of the old ghost, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, the surface of the knife was full of blood, dyed white and red.
At the feet of the old ghost, there was also the body of a man in black, with his back to the ground, so he couldn't see his appearance clearly, and he might obviously feel that he was frivolous and not a normal person at all.
The little girl was still curled up on the verandah, crying incessantly, her collar soaked with the crystal tears. The entire upper body was drenched, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
The old ghost almost twisted his head, his face was covered with blood, and he was covered in bruises, stared at the girl, and said, "It's okay, you get up!" ”
At this time, the little girl slowly raised her head and slowly opened her eyes. Her wet eyes made her unable to see anything clearly, and her eyelashes were soaked when she looked back and forth.
The little girl wiped her eyelids with her sleeves, opened her eyes, stared at the door, and looked at it for a few seconds before she reacted and asked softly, "What's wrong?" What just happened? ”
The old ghost almost threw away the kitchen knife in his hand, turned around and replied with a serious expression: "It's nothing, I just saw something unclean, so I solved him." ”
The room was in a mess, and the little girl slowly stood up. The body is still a little shaky, the clothes are already messy, and the skirt has been torn with a hole, and I don't know when it was torn.
The old ghost standing in front of the door wiped the blood on his face, limped to the bed, sat down, sighed deeply, and said to the girl: "Girl, go and get some food for the old man, I'm hungry." ”
The little girl looked at the body of the man in black in front of the door, and her heart was even more panicked, and she didn't dare to take a step forward at all. He looked back at the old ghost and said, "I...... I don't dare go down! ”
The old ghost almost covered the wound on his leg with his hand again, slowly got up from the bed, and walked slowly to the door. As soon as he squatted down, he dragged the body aside, kicked it into the corner, looked back at the girl and said, "Now you can go down, right?" ”
The little girl shook her head, put on a pitiful look, and opened her mouth to say, "No! I'm afraid of the dark! I'm afraid of the dark! ”
The old ghost sighed deeply, and said to her again: "Okay, if you don't go down, then you can help me down, right?" ”
"No...... I'm afraid of blood, you're full of blood! ”
The girl said, quickly straightening her clothes, and pulling out a small mirror and a lipstick from her pocket. I took a picture in front of my face, straightened my hair, wiped it with my hand, and reapplied a layer of lipstick to my lips.
"Hello? What is the old man talking to you? Don't think that you are a girl, the old man will not dare to do anything to you, hurry down and get some food, hungry! ”
The old ghost almost frowned, glared at her, picked up the bloodstained kitchen knife from the ground, and shook it in front of her face.
The girl put on half of the lipstick, put down the mirror, put her two hands on the back of her abdomen in a panic, and stood up straight all of a sudden, looking at the kitchen knife in the old ghost's hand with a tense expression.
Suddenly said: "Grandpa, how can you be like this, although you saved my life, I remember it, but I can't cook, how can I get you food?" ”
The little girl who had just returned to the hanging line of her life, this time she was like a nobody, and even made a coquettish expression.
The old ghost was so angry that he didn't know what to say for a while, and wiped the kitchen knife in his hand with his hand, his face was completely petrified.
The little girl's expression changed, and she suddenly laughed, and put the mirror back in her pocket. patted his head and said, "By the way, I still have a few bags of potato chips in my drawer, can I bring them for you?" ”
With that, the little girl turned around and ran to the cupboard next to the bed, squatted down and opened the drawer, and took out a few bags of potato chips from it.
After taking it out, the little girl held several bags of puffed food, ran to the door, and threw it directly to the ground, "Well, you can open it yourself and eat it, I can't hide these snacks myself, so I'll take them out for you." ”
After polishing the kitchen knife, the old ghost sat down by the door, smiled coldly for a while, and replied with a side face: "Are you sure you are the only one in this house?" There is also a second one. ”
The little girl was unhappy all of a sudden, put her hands on her waist, gritted her teeth angrily and said, "What does this matter to you?" It's not your house, eat your chips! ”
