Xue Qian's shop has been open for some days. His business is booming, and there is no sign of losing money. He's broken the spell of the street. It's me, who has been snubbed all day.

Fortunately, Secretary Wang sent me subsidies from time to time in various names. I can spend my time in an empty house and waiting for death.

In fact, I also understand Secretary Wang's intentions. Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while. Although my wife is peaceful now, there are too many facts in the world that cannot be explained by science, and maybe one day, he will have to come to me.

On this day, I was lying on the bed in the empty house, watching all kinds of ghost stories on my phone. Suddenly, there was a cheap laugh at the door: "Boss Zhao, life is quite leisurely." ”

I squinted at Xue Qian, who was full of red light: "Boss Xue, you've been making a fortune recently." ”

Xue Qian said with a smug face: "Lao Zhao, don't be jealous of me." Seeing that your business is bleak, and you are hungry and full all day long, as a neighbor, I don't want to go. I've bought some food and drinks tonight, and I'm here for you to have two drinks, and you're waiting for me. ”

I smiled and said, "I can't think of it." In order to help me, Boss Xue was willing to enter this empty house. ”

Xue Qian smiled and left, and said as she walked: "Lao Tzu has made a lot of money recently, it seems that it is the time when the fortune road is rising, and at this time, the gods and ghosts have to make way for me." Don't say it's your empty house, even if it's a mass grave, I'll dare to go there. ”

I lay on the bed and didn't move. Although I continued to read novels with my phone. But the content of the novel can no longer enter my mind.

I couldn't help but think: "I stayed in the empty house all day, although I had Secretary Wang to help me, and I didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, but after all, it was not a long-term solution, let alone returning to my hometown and bringing my parents to the city." Hey, why don't I be like Xue Qian, and turn the grocery store into a health care store? ”

As soon as this thought came to me, I dispelled it again: no, no. This room is too evil, if I change it at will, if something happens, I will have to walk around without food.

Boredom is always slow. I simply closed my eyes and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but then I felt a cool breeze blowing in and I woke up from freezing. I opened my eyes and got out of bed.

It was already dark, and I was sleepy-eyed, and I fumbled for a match on the table, and tried to light the lamp. However, in the flash of the fire, I saw a man sitting on the bed opposite.

I was taken aback. He threw away the match and pulled out the knife under the pillow.

By the street lights outside, I could clearly see that there was indeed a person sitting on the bed opposite. It's just that this man doesn't move. It's like a wood carving.

I coughed and asked as majestically as I could, "Who are you?" Why here? ”

The man didn't move.

I waited for a while, slowly picked up the matchbox, and lit the lamp.

The candle is dim, but it's not hard to illuminate the person's appearance. I held the candle and looked at it, and was surprised to find that this person turned out to be Xue Qian.

He sat upright on my bed. He stared at me without saying a word or moving.

I saw that something didn't seem quite right with him, and I couldn't help but be very nervous, and asked, "Xue Qian, are you okay?" ”

Xue Qian took her gaze back, looked at me, and said in a calm tone, "It's okay." ”

I was relieved to see that he could speak. said: "What's the matter with you kid? Walked in quietly and scared me. ”

Xue Qian said a little strangely: "I said I came to you for dinner, so I came in." I shouted at you twice, but you didn't answer. ”

I looked at the table, it was clean, and there was nothing to eat. couldn't help frowning: "Aren't you going to invite me to drink?" Why don't you have anything to eat? ”

Xue Qian said faintly: "A few friends came just now, I invited them to eat them all." ”

I laughed angrily: "What are the friends here?" Are you talking in your sleep? ”

Xue Qian was silent. I stood up and sighed, "Forget it, I'll go buy food." ”

When I got to the door, I looked back. Xue Qian sat alone in front of the broken table, half of the candle reflected his shadow for a long time, falling on the wall, shaking constantly. This scene looks quite weird.

I couldn't help but stop, thinking: Xue Qian is usually most afraid of my empty house, why did she take the initiative to come over today. And I left him in the house, and he was not afraid at all?

I was thinking like this, when suddenly Xue Qian pointed her fingers, her eyebrows fluttered, and she muttered that she didn't know what to say, as if she was talking to someone.

I stood in the doorway, confused, a little undecided. I shouted inside: "Xue Qian, are you okay?" ”

Xue Qian turned around and waved her hand at me: "Of course I'm fine." Hurry up and buy something to eat. ”

I shook my head and headed out into the street. By this time, it was getting late, and there were not many shops with their doors open, but there were anyway. After I walked to the street, I turned my head and suddenly saw that Xue Qian's health care store was still lit.

The devil sent the gods, and I glanced inside. I was amazed at this glance. I saw a person lying on the counter. It seems that it is Xue Qian.

I was taken aback and hurriedly ran towards the empty house.

My grocery store and Xue Qian's store were originally next to each other. The two doors are only a dozen steps apart. I ran back as fast as I could, and through the door, I could see the candles burning on the table from a distance. And Xue Qian was still sitting there upright.

I was shocked, and cold sweat flowed down: "How can there be two Xue Qian?" ”

I stood on the street and hesitated, and I had a plan in my heart: these two Xue Qian must be true and false. According to my understanding of Xue Qian, the one sitting in the empty house is full of evil spirits, I'm afraid it's not true.

I heard that some ghosts can disguise themselves in human form, surprise them, and harm people. I can't help but be on guard.

Thinking of this, I quickly stepped back. returned to Xue Qian's store and banged the door hard.

Xue Qian lay on the table and slept soundly. I couldn't wake him up, so I started banging the door. The glass door was not very secure, and I hit it twice, and I knocked a gap in the lock. I jumped in, grabbed Xue Qian's shoulder, and shook desperately.

Xue Qian was swayed back and forth by me, but she just couldn't wake up.

I hurriedly put him back in his chair and pulled out my phone to call the police. At this moment, I saw that there seemed to be a person standing at the door, and this person was clearly Xue Qian's appearance.

I was startled and quickly looked up. However, the doorway became empty, and no one was seen anymore.

I was standing in the room puzzled, and suddenly I heard Xue Qian muttering twice behind me, followed by the sound of a chair dragging and he woke up.

I looked back suspiciously, and saw Xue Qian standing in the middle of the room stretching out her arms, as if she had just woken up from a deep sleep.

When he saw me, he seemed a little surprised and asked, "Old Zhao, why are you here?" ”

I looked at him carefully: "Old Xue, something is wrong with you today." ”

Xue Qian scratched her head: "What's wrong?" ”

I said, "I just saw two of you. One is in my room, and the other is sleeping on his stomach at the table. ”

After Xue Qian heard this, her face immediately changed: "Haunted? ”

Then he hurried out the door and walked over to my empty house.

I followed him, and by the time the two of us reached the door of the empty house, there was only one candle left in the room, which was about to burn out, and there was no one left.

Xue Qian looked at me and said, "Lao Zhao, you shouldn't be dazzled, right?" ”

I shook my head: "I'm not that confused. Lao Xue, be careful in the past two days, since there are ghosts dressed up as you, eighty percent of them are going to deal with you. If the fake wants to become true, the only way to kill the real one is to kill the real one. ”

Xue Qian's face was panicked when I said this, and he left without looking back. As he walked, he said, "I'll just make a fortune in silence." Demons and monsters, don't come to me. He took two steps, turned back to me, and said, "Old Zhao, can you lend me the big knife first, so that I can defend myself?" ”
