Chapter 3: The Odd Apartment
Coming out of Yuzu City, the three of us got into the car. After leaving this leisure street, drive onto an avenue. Follow the female technician's instructions and head south along the avenue.
At this moment, it is still early, and there are many citizens walking on the sidewalks on both sides, one by one, wrapped around their necks, and wearing thick clothes. Major shopping malls and supermarkets look like a lively scene.
With this female technician here, Uncle Yang naturally wants to support the boss to the end. Sitting straight on the co-pilot, with his chin raised, he looked at the scenery on both sides of the road, and nodded frequently from time to time, and I was secretly amused.
Looking up at the rearview mirror, I saw the female technician sitting in the back seat without saying a word, looking vigilant.
"How far is it, Sister Bai." I asked.
"It's going to be a while, I'm a little far away." The female technician smiled and said, "Otherwise, let me come down and I'll take a taxi." ”
"Oh, no, I'm just asking, since I want to send you, then I naturally have to send it to the end..."I smiled, and then asked quietly, "By the way, Sister Bai, I heard the little girl say before, the place where you live is haunted, what's going on?" ”
"What's the hell-being, listen to her nonsense." The female technician smiled, "I said it all, it's a lie..."
She didn't want to say, and I didn't want to ask again, but I knew in my heart that there must be hauntings. That's why I'm going to send her, it's our sorcerer's duty to exorcise evil spirits, once we encounter a haunted or haunted or something like that, we must track it down to the end, this is the rule set by the master. The reason why such a rule is set is because, since we have been encountered, it is the will of God, and God has arranged for us to be anxious. I have introduced 'Heavenly Fortune' before, and I will not repeat it here, the so-called providence is actually the result of Heavenly Fortune...
Having said that, there is no danger in just helping people see feng shui, not only is it easy, but you can also make a lot of money. However, there is no such cheap thing in the world, you must have a life to spend if you have a life, and at the same time as you get, you must pay how much, so that it is in line with the principles of heaven. Therefore, although there is no money to be made and there are dangers, it is something we must do... It's like an employee in an entertainment and leisure place, just like the female technician in front of her, her job is just to help people wash their feet and massage, as for chatting with guests, patting guests' ass, etc., it is equivalent to incidental, she praised me for how handsome I was, and what did she chase me, in fact, it was just out of occupation, anyone who went there to consume, even if they looked ugly, they would praise handsome. In fact, it is not easy for them, professional technicians like them are not young ladies who sell meat, but they often have to endure sexual harassment by customers, and can only laugh, in addition, they have to bear the strange eyes of outsiders. Having said so many digressions, in fact, what I want to express is that there is no distinction between high and low occupations, whether as a consumer or other identity, we should respect the practitioners of each industry, because respecting others is equal to respecting ourselves...
Coming to an intersection, turning east, the car pulled up to a quiet road, and the female technician looked more vigilant. Walking straight down the road, we came to a residential area. Under the instructions of the female technician, I walked around and came to a stop in front of a rental building.
This neighborhood is already quite quiet, and this building looks quieter here. In terms of distance, it is not very far from the East Outer Ring Road.
I looked at the time, it was not yet ten o'clock in the evening, but the building was dark. There are six floors in this building, and when you look up by the street lights, the balconies of the few households on the second and third floors are hung with clothes to dry, and everything else is empty.
"Thank you so much, then I'll go." The female technician said and was about to get out of the car.
"You're welcome..."
Uncle Yang smiled, and then glanced at me.
"Oops," I stroked my neck.
"What's wrong?" The female technician asked with concern.
"My throat is dry, maybe I want to catch a cold."
"What then?"
"It's okay, drink... Just drink some hot water. ”
The female technician glanced upstairs.
"Can you go upstairs to your apartment and drink some water, Sister Bai?" I asked.
"It's... Will he go too? The female technician pointed at Yang Shujun and asked vigilantly.
"Go... Okay uncle, don't pretend to be the boss. I smiled at the female technician, "This is my uncle, the first time I went to Yuzu City, so I pretended to be the boss to save face..."
Yang Shujun smiled 'hehe'.
The female technician 'fluttered' for a while, "You're quite honest." ”
"Of course." I smiled, "Sister Bai has read countless people, and you can see at a glance that my uncle is not a boss at all, since he is out of Yuzu City, it will be boring to pretend again, right?" How good is it to be honest, in other words, Sister Bai looks like a good person or a bad person? ”
"You," the female technician squinted at me and smiled, "I can't tell if it's good or bad, but it's true that it's a little slippery head." ”
"Hehe... Ahh
"Tsk, okay, look at your poor feelings, then go upstairs to me and drink some hot water, anyway, I'm not afraid, my husband will be back soon." But before I go upstairs, I'm going to make a phone call..."
I praised in my heart that this woman is very smart, and as a woman, you should be as vigilant as she is at all times, and not be able to trust strangers easily.
"Hey, Xiaojuan, it's me, Sister Bai... Yes, I'm home, that's it, I'm going to bring the two guests upstairs to drink water... An hour later, you dial my number, yes, this is the number..."
Yang Shujun gave a thumbs up.
"There's surveillance in the entrance hall of Yuzu City, I'm talking ugly ahead, you two don't have any bad ideas... Okay, let's go. ”
The female technician smiled, then waved her hand and stepped out of the car first.
There is a large open space in front of this building, and on the open space near the eaves, there stands a small iron bucket of the kind used to burn paper during sacrifices. There were sparks inside, wisps of smoke rising from the iron barrels, and they were in the cold air. It seems that someone burned something here not so long ago ...
Looking up, the clothes hanging from the balcony on the third floor were wobbly, and it looked like a person was hanging there... My gut tells me that there is something unclean upstairs here, and it doesn't seem to be simple...
I couldn't help but be vigilant, because I was afraid that this female technician would suspect that we were not good people, so I didn't bring the bag containing the magic weapon, but only two solitary runes in my pocket. I felt for the rune in my pocket, tugged at Uncle Yang, and motioned for him to follow me. Then, I followed the female technician vigilantly towards the door.
'Da' opened the door, the female technician clapped her hands, and the voice-activated lights in the corridor lit up. The bulb was covered in dust, and the light was dim, and the staircase handrails were mottled and reflected with a cold metallic sheen. The tall clutter pile next to the stairs at the door, a small child's playing Teletubbies doll, lying on his back in the clutter pile, poking out a dirty head, the 'antenna' on his head drooping, his mouth slightly open, and two dead fish-like eyes looking at us...
"Lighten up..."
The female technician whispered, then lifted her feet up the stairs. This is a unit building, and the layout of each floor is exactly the same. If it weren't for the logo of each floor painted on the wall at the corner of the staircase, it would be easy to go to the wrong floor. The building looks old, and although the walls have been whitewashed, you can still see a lot of graffiti.
When I came to the corner of the stairs on the third floor, I couldn't help but be stunned. I saw that on the wall leading to the staircase on the fourth floor, there was a wooden plank nailed, and there was a statue of a god standing on the board, with horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes, and the appearance was vicious.
Zhong Kui is a ghost blocker in the town, like this kind of Zhong Kui on the wall of the internal staircase of the rental building, it must be made by the owner of this building, and the tenant does not have this right... Is this to hold something down, or to block something? …
There is a small incense burner under Zhong Kui's statue, and the three incense sticks in the furnace are almost finished... I looked up at the stairs, and it was dark where the voice-activated lights above the stairs couldn't shine, and it seemed that something was hiding in the shadows...
"Hurry up, hurry up...", the female technician urged again and again.
I was about to step up the stairs when she grabbed me.
"Don't go up, don't go up, I'll live on the third floor, go this way..."
When the female technician saw that I was going upstairs, her face turned white, and she grabbed my arm.
We walked down the hallway to the end, and we came to the door of a room. When she opened the door and came into the house, the female technician closed the door, closed her eyes, patted her chest, let out a long breath, and said with a smile, "You sit down first, and I'll pour the water." ”
This room is not very big, but it is also very warm, one bedroom and one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, with a small balcony. Although the wallpaper in the living room looks very rustic, compared to the feeling I gave when I entered the building, it can be said that I have come to another world.
Soon, the female technician poured two cups of hot water. As I drank my water, I tried to ask the female technician about the statue of Zhong Kui, but she didn't know or wouldn't say, so I didn't ask any more.
I drank a cup of hot water with Uncle Yang and sat down for a while, and then I got up and said goodbye.
"Let's go, I'll send you out." Said the female technician.
"No need..."I smiled, "How can you trouble Sister Bai to send it next upstairs, we can just go by ourselves." ”
"Okay, don't stop, go down quickly, besides, remember to close the door when you go out..."
"Okay, Sister Bai, don't forget to promise me something."
"Don't worry." The female technician laughed.
Coming out of the female technician's house, Yang Shujun asked, "Xiao Leng, let's go back like this?" ”
"Shhh
When I came to the statue of Zhong Kui, I stood on tiptoe to take a closer look, only to see that this statue should look some years old, touched it with my hand, it was hard and ice, made of metal, I guess, this statue may have been asked for by the owner of this building from nowhere...
"What's going on?" Yang Shujun asked.
"There's something strange about this floor..."I raised my eyes to look at the dark stairs and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Yang, you go downstairs and wait for me, I'll go up and have a look." ”
"You... You go up on your own? ”
"Hmm...," I smiled slightly, "Don't worry..."
As I spoke, I looked at the time, and it was not yet eleven o'clock.
"I use the mobile phone for lighting, after you go down, go around this community, find a public phone and call back, so as not to worry about Yuxin and Morning Star..."
Although Uncle Yang understands feng shui, he doesn't know spells, and he himself knows that if he goes up with me, he will become a burden to me, and he told me in a low voice, Xiao Leng, you have to be careful, and then walked down...
After Uncle Yang's footsteps couldn't be heard, I raised my eyes again to look at the statue of Zhong Kui, took a deep breath, and stepped up the stairs with my feet...
