My name is Hou Yaohua, but I am not the famous cross talk actor. Everyone else calls me Monkey Six, not because I am the sixth in line, if so, it is estimated that the door panel of my house will be demolished by the Family Planning Commission, but because every time I drink with my friends, I will get drunk and fall to the sixth glass, and I will not be happy.

I am a wall skewer, that's the old saying, it means walking the streets and alleys and touching antiques, Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-six years old, in the year of the birth, many people say that the luck of the year will be very weak, but in the first half of the year everything is still going well.

Although I am not very old, I am already an old man when I entered the industry at the age of eighteen. I now run an antique shop, and occasionally collect some knick-knacks from a few fallen masters, but this is just a pin and a cover for my underground business.

Now business is getting more and more difficult to do, good things rarely go into the water, even if a decent artifact comes out in a year and a half, it is not guaranteed to be a real guy, most of them are high imitations made by some old families.

My goods come from a few mountain scorpions, and they come four or five times a year, and each trip brings out a few genuine pieces of blood. Those mountain scorpions are the periphery of the more famous tomb robber gangs in the nearby provinces, that is, the people who are responsible for selling goods.

On this day, I was leaning on the recliner and preparing to take a nap in the sun, when I was woken up by the sound of SF Brother banging on the door panel. Holding back the tiredness, I yawned and walked over slowly, this little brother is in charge of our courier, and he has become familiar with me. The little brother said to me with a smile in a Henan accent: "Big brother, this express delivery is so tender, this is trying to exhaust me to death." ”

Squeezing out a smile with a numb face, I replied lazily: "Send more goods, so that you can save enough money to marry a wife." "This is the stalk that I can't move every time I receive his courier to ridicule him, this little brother is only 19 years old this year, and the family has arranged more than a dozen blind dates. The little brother was not angry, took out a small box and said to me: "This is the one today, twenty, to pay." ”

The face that was still smiling suddenly froze, especially which cheat dad merchant on Taobao dared to pay Lao Tzu? Looking at the smiling Henan brother, I could only grit my teeth and take out twenty yuan from my pocket and give it to him, and took the express box.

The little brother took the money, smiled and made a joke and left. In fact, he is also very busy, in order to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law as soon as possible, this child matures a little prematurely.

I looked at the sender angrily and was stunned. I know this sender, one of several mountain scorpions I know well, and he calls himself Liu Lezi. That's his nickname, and unless it's a fateful friendship, it's impossible to tell you his truth. Could it be that this guy shipped to me through SF Express? That's almost impossible, this kind of business is a hand-to-hand deal: he takes the goods to me for inspection, I give the price, and it is impossible to go by courier. Besides, we've never called to stock up.

Confused, I found a paper cutter to open the paper box, and after removing some of the messy foam inside, I finally saw the contents: a letter and a USB stick. Seeing these two things, I couldn't help but wonder even more, Liu Lezi has my phone, and usually calls me when there is a product to negotiate the price through code. This is the first time I wrote a letter, and I also brought a USB flash drive, what is in this USB flash drive?

Shaking my head, I carefully opened the letter, and on the letter paper turned out to be a vigorous small letter, with my years of experience, his font actually has some shadows of Ouyang Xun. Thinking about the peasant uncle who usually has a scruffy beard and is dressed in homespun clothes, he still has this feeling, and he is really unseemly. The contents of that letter are absurd, but they are important for future events, so I have written down the contents of the letter in its original language.

Brother Yaohua:

It has been months since the last goodbye. I encountered a strange thing and couldn't understand it, and now I tell it all, and my brother can hear about it.

Two months ago, I got an object, according to my eldest brother, this is the Eight Treasures Exquisite Shrine, which is used to hold the Buddha bone relics of a high monk Miao Lian in the Tang Dynasty, so I hid the treasure shrine in the safe in the bedroom. But ever since I brought the shrine home, I've had the same dream every day, and the dream wasn't terrible, I was walking back and forth in my bedroom, but the scene was very real. I live here alone, having the same dream every day, and I am terrified. In desperation, I had to tell my eldest brother about it, hoping that he could find out the reason, but my eldest brother didn't believe in the gods and ghosts at all, and ignored what I said, and only told me to rest.

I installed a camera in my bedroom for the safety of the shrine, and when I happened to check the footage, I realized that I actually got up in the middle of the night and walked around, exactly like the scene in my dream. I had absolutely no symptoms of sleepwalking before, but for some reason I started sleepwalking every night after I got the shrine. It wouldn't be weird if it had only come to this, but when I watched the video many times, I noticed something creepy: I swore I had locked the doors and windows before I went to bed, and I didn't open the doors or windows in the video when I was sleepwalking. But I saw that there was one more person in the bedroom! The USB stick is a video I recorded one night, and when you watch the video, pay attention to the footage at half past one in the morning.

When it came time to send the courier, I had found a way to unravel the secret. Later, I will tell my brother what I have seen, and he is very knowledgeable, and I hope to be able to explain a thing or two.

Liu Zhuowen

Sincerely

2012.8.2

This is the end of the letter, but I read it in a cold sweat. If this Liu leper hadn't played with me, this would have been the most incredible thing I've encountered over the years. Although I often experience some strange situations when I come into contact with antiques, I have never encountered such a strange thing this time. Pursing my dry lips, I walked over to the only computer in the shop, blasted the guy who was playing a card game away, plugged in the USB stick, and opened the only file inside.

To be honest, I've always been resistant to watching this kind of video because the unedited and uncolored footage gives a real sense of fear. But this incident has deeply aroused my interest, and I can only suppress the discomfort in my heart and slowly look at it. The camera is placed in the corner of the wall so that a large part of the room can be included in the lens. The initial period of time was extremely boring, and it was a picture of Liu Lezi tossing and turning in bed all the time. At this time, I realized that this guy was indeed tortured a lot, and his originally sturdy body became a little emaciated, and I could see that he was under tremendous pressure between tossing and turning. As time went on, the guy rolled over more and more slowly, and finally fell asleep with the quilt in a strange position. The rest of the time was as if he was looking at a still picture, the guy slept quietly, motionless as if dead.

Finally, when the time came to one o'clock in the morning, Liu Lezi slowly got up and began to walk around the bedroom. Honestly, if it weren't for that strange letter, I would have thought this guy woke up on his own and was bored walking around the bedroom. Resisting the urge to drag the progress bar, I watched the entire video to see if I could find anything, but found nothing. From the current point of view, everything in the house is normal, because the bedroom has only a bed and a safe, and there is no place to hide anyone.

Little by little, it was half past one in the morning, and my breathing slowly became heavy. At this moment, the picture suddenly turned, and the camera turned in a direction, thinking that it should have been set up by Liu Lezi himself, in order to record all the scenes in the house. Just as the scene turned, my heart suddenly jumped, and my body was full of goosebumps. As the camera turned around, the image of the bed slowly turned to the windowsill, and I suppressed my heartbeat and stared at the monitor. The lights were on in the room, and the curtains were almost clear, and I couldn't see anything strange for a while. Just as my heart was gradually lowering, I happened to look at the bottom of the curtain out of the corner of my eye, and my heartbeat suddenly stopped.

It was a pair of black leather shoes, only the tip of the shoe leaked out, if you look closely, you can see that the tip of the left foot is slowly stepping, this detail is not for Liu Lezi in the letter, I can't see it at all. I finally understood why Liu Lezi insisted that there was someone in this house. The next picture is a little weird, Liu Lezi is still walking back and forth in the bedroom unhurriedly, and the black toes of his shoes are also constantly stepping. It's as if the two of them are playing a boring game, and neither of them pays attention to the other. The footage lasted until about half past two in the morning. Liu Lezi slowly returned to bed and began to sleep, and the black toe of his shoes also stopped, slowly retreated behind the curtain, and finally disappeared. Next is the static picture of Liu Lezi sleeping by himself, but there is nothing to describe.

After watching that video in one go, I was already in a cold sweat. Looking at the young man who was tinkering with a high imitation of blue and white porcelain, I scolded him loudly, and temporarily freed myself from that terrifying artistic conception. As a skeptic, my first reaction was that this guy was playing with me, and the letter and the person behind the curtain were all deliberately set by Liu Lezi, but what was his purpose in doing so? Scare me to death and leave me with one less shipping point? These people are very purposeful people, they don't do boring and meaningless things, so what is Liu Lezi doing this for?

Shaking his head, let himself stop thinking about it, for things that cannot be understood, the best way is to let himself not be affected and return to his own way of doing things. The plate has business today, and asked the young man to bring the account book, I glanced at the account book, and then said to him: "No business today?" ”

The young man looked at me and said, "As usual, big boss." "This little guy was recruited from the talent market for 1,500 yuan a month, and he didn't respect me because he was very dissatisfied with my salary. With a sigh and unplugging the USB stick, I was ready to go home and get some rest. But I didn't expect that this courier would cause me so much trouble and at the same time completely change my life.
