Chapter Eighty-Four: Twenty Posthumous Portraits
Before she finished speaking, she was about to close the door, and I hurriedly pressed the door against her to prevent her from closing it.
I quickly organized the language in my mind, looked at the old lady in front of me and smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm lost, do you know how to get to the Iron Bull Apartment." ”
The old lady's face suddenly became a little angry, and when I was a little worried about saying the wrong thing, she suddenly turned into a smile, and said kindly: "Tie Niu Apartment, I haven't been there for a year, I'm old, and I don't know how to leave, but you can go into the house and ask my son about them." ”
With that, the old lady gently removed her hand from the door frame, turned sideways, and made a gesture to invite me in, signaling that I could enter.
I followed the direction of her finger and quietly looked inside, and saw that there were several people playing cards in the middle of the living room on the first floor.
When I saw this scene, I felt a little embarrassed, I didn't enter for a long time, there were too many people, and I couldn't help but be a little nervous.
I licked my chapped lips and said to the old lady, "Would they mind if you brought a stranger into the house?" ”
The old lady looked at my hesitant appearance and shook her head gently, but looking at the somewhat dark living room, I didn't know why I felt a little inexplicably uneasy, and suddenly I didn't want to go in a little.
I was about to turn around, but suddenly I smiled at the old lady with a very kind smile, and it seemed that I couldn't say anything if I didn't go in, so I mustered up the courage to go into the apartment.
Walking into the apartment, I saw two tables of people playing cards, and a few seven or eight-year-old children sitting on the sofa watching TV, and no one seemed to notice that a stranger had come to the house.
I forced out a smile and said to the old lady, "Grandma, you have a lot of family." ”
The old lady seemed to be very proud of the number of people in the family, and smiled and said, "There are only a few, and there are more than a dozen sleeping in the house." ”
Yes?
So much?
I'm a little surprised, and there are more than a dozen?
I was a little puzzled, but then I was relieved.
After all, wasn't there as many as twenty people in the big family who died in the Iron Bull Apartment last time?
It's not a strange comparison, at least that's what I thought.
The old lady seemed to see the doubts in my eyes, and added empathetically: "Our family has four generations in the same house, so there are more people." ”
I was relieved to hear my grandmother say this, but I was still nervous because he had never seen a family like this.
According to common sense, seven or eight-year-old children love to play, it is impossible to sit motionless on the sofa and watch TV, and the few people who play cards together have no expression on their faces, no one speaks, and playing cards with relatives and friends should be a cheerful atmosphere, but they give people a dignified atmosphere, which seems to be a little weird.
I asked the old lady a little uneasily: "Grandma, you call them and ask them, then who of them knows where the Iron Bull Apartment is, and I have urgent business going there." ”
I really don't have an excuse for this, because the time displayed on my phone at this time is exactly twelve o'clock, which is too late.
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt that the atmosphere here suddenly became strange, because I seemed to feel that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at me, and my body was cold, and it felt like someone had grabbed me and thrown it into a bucket of ice water, and even my heart was cold.
I looked at the people who were playing cards, and I thought they were looking at me, but it wasn't.
No one looked at me at all, because they were still playing their cards without even raising their heads.
"Ask them!" The old lady urged behind my back, as if she also thought that it was not very early.
Seeing that the old lady looked like she was going to see off a guest, I hurriedly walked up to a man in his forties and asked softly, "Uncle, do you know how to get to the Iron Bull Apartment?" ”
The man paused, Wang Bang had a single card left, it stands to reason that he should be happy to win, but he shook his head expressionlessly, but the corners of his mouth suddenly appeared a strange arc.
I was so frightened that I pretended not to see it, I came to a woman in a cheongsam and whispered, "Auntie, excuse me, do you know how to get to the Tieniu Apartment?" ”
The woman's voice was a little hoarse and said, "I don't know." ”
I was startled when I heard the woman's voice, it didn't look like a normal person's voice at all.
Now I felt that something was wrong, and I was about to turn around and say goodbye to the old lady, who had brought me in, after all.
When I turned around and was about to speak, I found that the old lady was gone, I sighed, thinking why didn't I see you so neatly just now, you are a pensioner.
Thinking about it, basic politeness is still necessary, I asked the child on the sofa again, a little boy pointed to the bedroom, I was even more puzzled, what do you mean by bringing me in, you yourself into the bedroom.
The bedroom door didn't close, but I still knocked on the bedroom door and said, "Old lady, I'm leaving, since you don't know where the Iron Bull Apartment is, then I'd better go back first, it's too late, I have to rush back to school." ”
I'm leaving.
Suddenly, the old lady's voice came from inside: "Don't worry! Now you can't take a taxi, come in and get a business card for a taxi, it's too late, you walk slowly back to school like this, I don't worry about you. ”
I thought about it, I didn't know where this was, and I couldn't go back if I couldn't take a taxi, but the old lady's words still moved me a lot, so I pushed open the bedroom door and walked in.
It was dark in the bedroom, I couldn't see anything, I shouted a few words and no one answered, what did this old lady want to do, I couldn't stop muttering in my heart.
I took out my phone and fumbled to turn on the lights in the room with the help of the faint light.
At the moment when the lights came on, I saw at a glance that there were twenty portraits of dead people hanging on the wall opposite, and the photos on the portraits were the group of people sitting outside in the living room.
In the middle of the dozen or so portraits, I actually saw a picture of the old lady, who was smiling strangely at me, and I only had time to scream before rushing out of the bedroom.
Running to the living room, I found that the people I had just sat there playing cards were all gone, only a few paper figures on the chairs, seeing this scene, my legs began to tremble, but I didn't dare to let it go soft, biting the tip of my tongue and playing twelve points of spirit, pretending not to see it, and running towards the door.
When I opened the door, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and was about to leave, a woman with a pale face and eyes that kept bleeding out appeared in front of him, this woman was wearing a cheongsam, it was the same aunt who was talking to me in a hoarse voice not long ago!
I don't know where I got the courage to kick this female ghost who hadn't made any unfavorable moves against me with one kick, and I wanted to rush out with my trembling body.
At this time, a pair of extremely cold palms rested on my shoulders, and I quickly looked up, only to find that the owner of these hands was the man who had left the single card from the king.
I saw that this man's face was particularly pale, so white that I knew at a glance that this thing had no kindness to me.
The pale face began to ooze black to purple blood, and in the viscous blood, not densely packed with insects, it was also very white, so white that I felt that I had never felt so disgusted.
The bugs were still wriggling in the rolling waves of blood......
Not to mention this scene, it made me feel sick, and it made me feel creepy and goosebumps.
What's even more annoying is that this man comes out disgusting and I forget it, he still has a weird smile on his face.
He just grabbed my shoulders like this, and didn't do anything to me, just sneered at me.
I was so frightened that my legs lost strength, and I wanted to break free, but I was tightly controlled by the man's hands, and my body was also very weak, and I couldn't move at all.
And at this time, the old lady staggered out, stretched out her dry hands that disgusted me, but full of sharp nails, and strangled my neck.
She had a hideous face, grabbed my neck like crazy, and yelled, "Aren't you looking for the Iron Bull Apartment? This is it, if you want to come here so much, then stay, everyone related to the Iron Bull Apartment should be damned! ”
