"Xiaobao seems to be in the cradle, his two hands are grasping upward, just like a child wants to be hugged by an adult." Did I try my best to describe what I saw, there was something next to him in my arms, it was either Grandma Xiao Ming or something, it wasn't a person anyway.

The thick ink took another step, and the snake pendant lit up the corner next to it, the room was extremely dusty, and the stickers on the wall had been rolled down, casting a dark shadow on the other side of the light, and leaving a series of footprints wherever we walked. Thick ink walked to the door and looked at the door, "What kind of room is there?" ”

"Tangwu, further to the east, is Xiao Ming and Xiao Ming's grandmother's house." Xiao Ming and his grandmother's house were separated by a large room, and he complained to me that his room had no privacy at all, and even during the afternoon nap, his grandmother could see Xiao Ming through the partition plank, and then ordered him not to play when he slept.

I went straight to the hall with thick ink, and on a wooden table that had rotted to black chips lay a water bottle, which was also covered with ash and could only be faintly seen the pale red underneath, and several long benches, one on top of the other, all piled up in one place. There wasn't a single footprint on the ground, and apparently no one had come.

The darkness made me feel depressed, and there was a breath in my throat, and the thick ink held the snake pendant to illuminate everywhere, "This is just a place for activities, not here now." Thick ink said. I followed closely beside Thick Ink, wishing that a pair of eyes would grow from behind, and Thick Ink saw me shrink his head, and then pulled his coat and wrapped me in.

Phew, it's so much better, it's weird, so you don't have to worry about something in the back. "I tugged at my dark sweater and leaned back again."

Thick ink threw the coat to me, "The coward takes it himself." I bared my teeth in his arms and wrapped my coat tightly. The good material is very comfortable to the touch, and I put my face on the thick ink sweater by the way, well, it is safer.

Thick ink took me around, he didn't seem to find the clue he was looking for, and then groped for another door, which led to Xiao Ming and Xiao Ming's grandmother's house, "We went to Xiao Ming's grandmother's house first, and there was a wooden plank in the middle, and the other side of the wooden board was Xiao Ming's house." I reported.

"It's wrapped, the yin qi over there is extremely heavy." "She must have known we were coming, so be prepared." ”

I swallowed my saliva and reached for the door, and in a moment, we were already standing in Grandma Ming's room, and the bamboo chair came into view. I am still a little afraid of bamboo chairs, and in the strange courtyard of the blind fortune teller's house, I also saw similar chairs, and the psychological shadow is really difficult to erase. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but stiffen my body.

Xiao Ming's grandmother's room didn't have a bed, and I don't know if it was because she died, so the family threw away her things. In the empty room, only a bamboo chair remained, "Grandma, you know that we are coming, why don't you show up?" Thick Ink said into the air, his chest vibrating my eardrums, I closed my eyes and wrapped one hand around Thick Ink's waist from the inside, and pulled his coat tight with the other, not daring to look at it.

"You are Xiao Ming's grandmother, we are friends of Xiao Ming, he didn't have time to come back this time, and asked us to help bring a message." Thick Mo continued, "He said, grandma, if you lack anything, we will send you something, and if you have what you want, you can mention it." ”

In the empty room, the words echoed in thick ink, and there was no sound to answer him, only the quiet dust of the room and the heartbeat of the two of us. Thick Mo's heartbeat was steady and powerful, while I was disorganized, intertwined, and it was very noticeable. "What should I do?" I asked, nestled in my arms. What should I do if Grandma Xiao Ming doesn't show up? She pretended to be deaf and dumb, "Could it be that your identity scares grandma?" I said.

"Grandma, we have no malice, we are entrusted by Xiao Ming to send you something. Are you going to show up to continue? Thick Mo lowered his tone, "Just to come and see you, Xuanzi came to ask you, is it enough for a dog to take care of the house?" Would you like more? ”

Answering us was quiet, and I secretly opened my eyes and looked at the bamboo chair. In the gray room, only the bamboo chair was clean and spotless, which was out of place here. This chair must be where Grandma Xiao Ming often sits, and its surface has been ground to a very smooth surface. It's definitely sitting on this chair for a long time, I suddenly felt creepy, as if I could see an old lady who was too old to look sitting on that chair, bent over her bones. Her eyes were looking at us, unblinking, with the anger of us trespassing on her house. She bared her teeth and her mouth was black, hollow enough to suck us in...... I shook the cold sweat off my body, whew, what was I thinking!

"Let's go in first!" I said, "Xiaobao seems to be asleep now. ”

"Since Grandma doesn't want to see us now, then please forgive us for being rude." With one last polite remark, he led me around the shiny chair, and as I passed, I could see as if I could see a pair of tattered shoes, and a few depleted toes protruded from the shoes, and I withdrew my gaze spasmodically.

Xiao Ming's grandmother and Xiao Ming's room is only separated by a wooden plank, the wooden board I looked at when I was a child, it was quite high, but now I look at it, it is not as high as thick ink, if it is not that the room is too dark, thick ink can see things from this side. There were many holes in the middle of the plank, large and small, and darkness seeped through the room, and I couldn't help but shiver. No wonder Xiao Ming wants to accuse him of having no privacy, even this tattered wooden board does not have privacy, I must not have this hole before, but the height of this wooden board is indeed so short, Xiao Ming's grandmother only needs to stand on her high bed and look at it, she can catch Xiao Ming who deserted, and then reprimand.

In front of the plank, there is a half-cut cloth curtain, which can only cover the upper body, I didn't know what this curtain was for, Xiao Ming could go directly when he was a child, and now he can only cover my waist from above, this is the so-called door. Thinking about Xiao Ming, his father is also a thrift, and now life is much better, but Xiao Ming's grandmother didn't enjoy half a point, and even the simple work of burning a dog asked my grandmother to help.

Thick ink carefully lifted the curtain, and the wooden planks were not as high as thick ink, let alone the door cut into the wooden board. The dust on the curtain does not need to be described, it can only be used in slow motion. Actually, I still want to go through, but that side is the hardest hit area for me, Xiaobao is here, I don't think it's that simple. Of course, thick ink thinks the same way.

When the thick ink was lifting the curtain, I was like standing on pins and needles, my feet were like poking needles, I couldn't stand at all, and my back was poked around like something was poking around, which was extremely uncomfortable. I know where I am awkward, like me, who has been sent by my parents to my grandmother since I was a child, and has always been afraid that my grandmother will leave me when she is old, and then surrounded by all kinds of conspiracies, and I was once an extremely insecure person. In this environment, even when I go up and down the black staircase, I have to face the wall with my back, and I am most afraid of something terrible behind me.

Yes, I was afraid of me and thick ink, I was extremely sensitive to that chair, and I shuddered at the thought that Grandma Xiao Ming might sit on it at any time. Thick ink looks at the front, I can't ignore the back. So, I quietly poked my head out of my coat again. The snake pendant floated in front of the thick ink on the left, and the light could be divided into the chair. From time to time, the thick ink fanned the dust and looked inside.

The chair lay quietly on the ground, and there was nothing on it, and I saw no terrible feet, nor withered hands. Fortunately, I was about to withdraw my gaze when I was about to retract my gaze, when suddenly the chair creaked and a long, rough voice sounded, "Ah! I was so frightened that I hugged the thick ink and pushed his room, the thick ink didn't have time to bow his head, and his head hit the old wooden board, and there was a bang, and it was dark in front of me, and the wooden board was smashed with flying dust, and the thick ink snorted, and we both fell to the ground, and I pulled my hand, and the snake fell to the ground with the light.

"Thick ink, are you alright?" I hurriedly touched Thick Ink's head.

Thick ink covered his head and looked at me speechlessly, "Scared? He rubbed his forehead indifferently, and then flicked it on my head, "Are your eyes wandering again?" "Didn't he hear it? Looking at the thick ink, it seems that only I can hear it, really, Grandma Xiaoming, why are you scaring me alone!

With a bang, a rotten wooden plank fell to the ground after the impact, and we both lay on our stomachs in the dust, and the thick ink pressed my head to his chest, "Don't breathe through your mouth or nose. He coughed several times, and we were both blinded by the dust, and when the dust settled, we took a picture of it with a snake drop. Xiao Ming's bed, as well as a desk, a stool, and a cradle on his bed.

"Thick ink." I called out to him, and he saw it.

"I'll take a look." Thick ink said.

"Wait......" I pressed my thick ink legs, and my eyes looked under the bed, and the two pairs of dark eyes cast from the darkness under the bed, one glowing white, the other glowing a dull gray light.
