Chapter 114: The Butcher Stall
It occurred to me that I had seen these people on the living room wall before. I walked out of the bedroom with the frame, went downstairs to the living room, turned on the light, and compared the pictures on the wall. Sure enough, all three of them are in the family portrait. The old man sat in the middle of the front row, needless to say, this was the "soap king" surnamed Wan, the young man was also in the front row, it should be the young master, and the young maid was standing on the left side of the back row, wearing a light blue gown. This maid is white and blessed, no more than twenty years old, with big watery eyes and hair tied back in her head, judging from her eyes, she should be a relatively simple girl.
Sure enough, it was light blue. I thought to myself, when Aunt Luo and the two of them were messing around in the basement at night, they said that they also saw a woman in a light blue shirt, could it have anything to do with this maid?
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops crackled on the doors and glass windows. I turned and went upstairs into my room. Because the windows are closed. The room was stuffy, so I left the bedroom door open to let in some air. As I stood in front of the bookcase and boredly looked through the hard-shell books, I heard the faint sound of a piano coming from the living room. Because the rain is so loud that if you close the door in the bedroom, you won't be able to hear it. But my room happened to be open, so I could still tell the difference.
The piano has no tune, it's like someone who doesn't know how to play the piano at all. I raised my heart to my throat and thought to myself, is it really haunted? I want to go down and have a look. But I didn't dare, my legs were heavier than lead. Suddenly, the piano stopped beating again, and there was no movement again. I thought to myself, let's pretend to be confused, I will still have less contact with this kind of business in the future, and my heart can't stand it.
Back in the bedroom, I turned off the lights and lay down and went to sleep, the rain was roaring outside, and from time to time lightning lit up the room. Psychologists say that regular rain makes people feel calmer, but I don't feel comfortable sleeping in a bungalow. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. I was so frightened that I hurriedly asked who. The voice of the butcher stall owner came from outside, telling me to open the door.
When I opened the door, the owner of the butcher stall stood in front of the door wearing only his underwear and asked me if Aunt Luo was here. I said unhappily, "Didn't she sleep in the same bed with you?" How could it be with me? Would you like to come in and search? I leaned over and got out of the way. The owner of the butcher stall was not polite, he looked for it when he walked in, and even opened the wardrobe to see.
After looking around, he said uneasily: "Brother, don't be angry, I woke up just now and went to the toilet, and found that your Aunt Luo was gone, I thought to myself that I just came out of the bathroom, and I didn't see her, can she still go up to the third floor for convenience?" I searched every room from the first floor to the third floor, even the basement, but there was nowhere to go! ”
I was surprised by this, and I asked him if he was sure he had searched every room, and he nodded affirmatively. I picked up the flashlight and looked for him together, the owner of the butcher stall took Aunt Luo's set of keys, and the two of us found the first floor from the third floor, from the bedroom to the utility room, the storage room, and the basement, but there was no trace of Aunt Luo, she seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Farming in technology.
"Will it go out, not in this bungalow?" I asked.
The owner of the butcher stall pointed to the heavy rain outside the window: "It's raining so hard, or is it the middle of the night, do you think she has something important, she has to go out at this time?" ”
I'm right, even if I have something, I should talk to him or me, there is no reason to sneak out by myself, is it someone to find? I threw out this question, and the butcher stall owner thought for a while: "It seems that this is the only explanation, but who can she go to?" ”
I asked, "Does this bungalow have a back door?" ”
The owner of the butcher's stall said no, there was a small garden in the back, but it had to go around the side path in the front yard to the back. The two of us were going to go out and look for it. First turned out two black ponchos in the utility room and put them on, opened the door with a flashlight and came out, the rain was falling very quickly, the ground was smoking, and the lock of the iron fence door was intact, indicating that Aunt Luo did not leave the courtyard of the bungalow. The butcher stall owner and I crossed the side path to the back of the bungalow, a small garden of about 100 square meters, planted with many moons and roses, and an apple tree stood out, under which was a stone table and four stone piers.
I shone around with a flashlight, and there was no one in the garden, so we were completely out of luck, where could she go? The owner of the butcher stall scolded: "This damn old woman, who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, can she still grow wings and fly out?" ”
I subconsciously looked up at the panoramic view of the bungalow, just now in order to make it easier to find, we turned on all the lights in all the rooms, and suddenly found that the light in the bedroom on the left side of the third floor was off. I hurriedly reminded the butcher stall owner, and he also felt strange, and raised his head to the bedroom and shouted: "Luo Yuezhen, Luo Yuezhen, are you in the house?" ”
The bedroom window was closed, and I shouted loudly to Aunt Luo, and in less than ten seconds, the light turned on again. I looked at the owner of the butcher's stall, quickly went around to the front and entered the bungalow, ran up to the third floor, the door of the bedroom on the left was wide open, and the room was empty. I looked at the floor, and there were no marks, indicating that no one had just come in from outside, otherwise there would have been wet shoe prints.
The owner of the butcher stall was visibly panicked and asked me what to do, and his voice trembled. Actually, I'm more scared than him, but I don't want to infect him with my fear, after all, I still have contact with this kind of ghostly scene, and he can't, if he is scared to some extent, he will probably collapse.
"Could it be that the lights in this room are not in good contact and happened to be sick just now?" I comforted. The owner of the butcher stall looked at me, obviously not agreeing with me.
I suggested looking for it again, but the owner of the butcher stall was anxious: "I have found more than a dozen rooms in this bungalow, how can there be any more?" "I said what good way do you have it, if there is, we won't look for it. Of course, he didn't have an idea, so he had to look for it again with me. We went through a sieve in every room, under the bed, in the wardrobe, under the dining table, in the pantry, and even opened the refrigerator.
In the end, there was only the basement left, and we rummaged in the basement for a long time, and there was nothing. The butcher stall owner sat on the ground and muttered, "What the hell, good boy, what the hell! ”
I banged my head with my hand and sat on the pile of boxes and thought, the boxes were so hard that my ass hurt. It was uncomfortable to change positions, and I was about to jump down, but suddenly I thought of the box, so I pushed open the lid of the box, and it was full of old books. I said, "Open all these boxes that are unlocked." ”
The owner of the butcher stall stood up weakly and pushed the lid of the box with me. Most of these boxes were locked, only the five or six on the periphery were not locked, and when the last one was pushed, the butcher stall owner opened his mouth wide, his expression froze, and he shouted: "Luo Yuezhen! ”
I went over to look, and I saw Aunt Luo wearing a suspender nightdress, curled up and lying on a pile of old books in the box, her face as white as paper. The two of us hurriedly got her out, and sniffed with our hands, so thin that it was almost gone. I asked the owner of the butcher stall to give her artificial respiration immediately, but this guy obviously couldn't, and blew all the exhaled carbon dioxide into Aunt Luo's mouth. I pushed him away and tried to send dozens of breaths of air into Aunt Luo's mouth, and Aunt Luo suddenly coughed a few times, which was considered to be relieved.
She was more surprised than us when she saw that we were both surrounded by the two of us, and asked what was going on. The owner of the butcher stall scolded: "You dead woman, you don't sleep in a good bed, you run to the basement in the middle of the night when you are idle, you have to sleep in the box?" If I hadn't been clever enough to find out early, you'd have suffocated to death! ”
I thought to myself, I found out, how did it become your credit? But his last two sentences are right, from the time he found out that Aunt Luo was missing until now, how could it be an hour, if it was a few hours late, the only oxygen in the box was exhausted, it was really a fairy who couldn't save her.
Aunt Luo said weakly: "I, I don't know, how can it be ......?"
The next morning, I suggested that Aunt Luo take a day off and have a good rest. The owner of the butcher stall went back to the vegetable market to kill chickens, and I asked Aunt Luo if she knew that she had sleepwalking. Aunt Luo said never, let alone sleepwalking, she rarely even dreams, but she really had a strange dream last night.
I asked her what she dreamed of, and Aunt Luo recalled it carefully and said, "I dreamed that a young girl in a light blue coat called me down in the living room on the first floor, so I went. The girl wanted to teach me how to play the piano, and I said no, and she said it was okay, she had to let me play, so I pressed it a few times. Then she asked me if I wanted to go to her house, and I followed. The girl's house was very dark, and there was nothing but a few small beds. The girl asked me if I was sleepy, if I was sleepy, I slept together, she was the only one who slept alone for so many years, it was too lonely. All of a sudden, I was sleepy, and the girl went to bed and lay down, and I did the same, and then I was woken up by both of you. Tian Da nephew, do you say that this dream has anything to do with my sleepwalking? ”
