Chapter 71. Old-fashioned phones
After Situ finished speaking, he threw the film to me, and after I took it, I felt that this was the only way to verify it anyway. Situ stretched out his hand and brushed the little hand and hair aside, but it was still within the scope of the dress, and then motioned for Hu Zongren to hand him the last bag of brocade we found on the ground. Before that, I had pinched it with my hand, and it was obvious that I had pinched a small foot, so I was more shocked at the time, until I was sure that the foot was part of the doll's body, and in addition to that, there was a hard thing in the bag, which looked like a mouse or something.
After Situ took the bag of tips, he directly poured out the contents and scattered them in the dressing. I realized that, in addition to a doll's feet, there was a very thin flip phone and an unplugged SIM card.
It's a very old-fashioned phone, very small, and it was a good brand in the early years, with an M prefix. When mobile phones first appeared, the company made a splash with the development of the Palm Treasure series. I've never used this brand of phone, but it's said to have been a brand that rivals my beloved Nokia. No wonder it's tiny to pinch, much like a mouse. And just when that little foot just fell to the ground, we all noticed that the candlelight on the spider rice array flickered a few times more strongly than before, and at the same time, Li Jia suddenly rubbed his temples with his hands, and his face showed that kind of headache.
Li Jia was recruited, but he just didn't know what to do. So I asked Li Jia, is it uncomfortable? He twisted his neck and said, maybe he didn't sleep well last night, he read the comic book too late, and he was a little dizzy. I ignored him, because I knew that the symptoms, especially the sudden and unaccompanied headache, were definitely worth noting.
It wasn't until the flames on the spider rice array were back to normal that I took a closer look at the little foot. Like the previous hand, dirty. But judging from the stump of the doll in the coffin, the hands and feet here are perfectly able to close, that is to say, we have collected everything that the doll is missing, and according to my understanding, once these broken parts are put back together on the doll's body, the ghost of the woman in the coffin will be complete, but I don't know what will happen once this is complete.
Everyone had clearly thought about it, so no one reached out to pick up the stumps on the ground. Situ sighed, as if it was really difficult to say this again, so he reached for the phone and the SIM card. Judging from the appearance of the phone, there are a lot of scratches, and the metal part is also very dull because of the relationship of too long, the paint on the fuselage is a bit bad, after opening the flip cover, the numbers and letters on the mobile phone buttons have no color, only a slightly raised shape remains. If the phone hadn't been picked up from a thrift market, it must have been used for a long time. But I noticed that the gap between each button and the connection between the screen and the bezel, there is no dust, the charging port is on the side of the phone, there is no dust inside, the short antenna is black plastic, but it is ground very smooth, which shows that this phone has just been deactivated, and the previous owner of this phone has the habit of rubbing the telephone antenna with his fingers.
Situ asked us, then let's plug in the card and see? We all nodded, and Li Jia seemed to have a terrible headache and kept leaning on the armrest of the sofa. Situ pulled off the back cover of the phone, and then took out the battery, there is a barcode under the battery, judging from the date of the barcode's access to the network, this phone was produced in 1999, and it has been 11 years since then. Situ plugged in the card, then put the battery back on, and tried to press the AFK button to turn it on. Because old-fashioned phones are generally hung up and long press to turn on, but the green screen just lit up, and the black pixelated logo just appeared, the phone was powered off, just a few seconds, I also noticed that there was a deep crack on the screen, very dazzling. Nowadays, people are living a good life, and changing a phone is as easy as buying a piece of clothing, and it is clear that this phone has been used until not long ago. And since the people of the Xuanyuan Club left this phone and even the phone card to us, why didn't they leave the charger?
After thinking about it for a while, I quickly realized that this problem was not something that my IQ could handle. So Situ took off the mobile phone battery and handed it to Fu Yunni, telling her to find a place outside that sells that kind of universal charger, buy one back, and try it before buying it. Fu Yunni asked Situ, why don't you buy a charger directly? Hu Zongren scolded Fu Yunni and said, you are stupid, this phone has been out of production for 10 years, where can you find a charger. Fu Yunni just glared at Hu Zongren and didn't speak. Then he took the battery from Situ's hand, and then went out with his bag.
During the time that Fu Yunni left, I saw that Li Jia was getting more and more annoyed, so I told Situ that Li Jia opened the most rearly trick without taking any precautions, and it was estimated that she had been tricked. Situ was startled, and then reached out and touched Li Jia's forehead, he said that Li Jia's forehead was very hot, and when I looked at Li Jia again, he was already squinting his eyes and feeling a little delirious.
So Hu Zongren and I carried Li Jia to the bedroom, in Situ's whole house, the bedroom is undoubtedly the safest place, because the easiest time for people to relax is when they fall asleep, and Situ's bedroom has been treated in almost every way I can imagine, which can be described as invulnerable, which is different from his other rooms, for example, Sister Cai and I have encountered dirty things in his guest room before.
Situ also walked into the house, personally called a talisman, and then boiled the water, and let us feed Li Jia to drink, at this moment Li Jia was already in a daze, and there were some words in his mouth that I didn't understand at all, such as what brave people do you want to bless me with victory. Then Situ opened the curtains in the bedroom but did not open the window, allowing the light to shine directly on the pillow, which is Li Jia's head. Then we withdrew from the bedroom, Situ Zhilu withdrew later, and pulled a rope on both sides of the door, this rope was hung by Situ's door, and a small copper bell was tied in the middle, Situ said, my talisman is to drive out the ghost that affected him in that part of his body, the layout of the room, I have lived so long, I have never seen a ghost dare to stay in my bedroom, so as long as I am forced out of the body, the ghost will definitely take the way and escape, as long as the bell rings, It means it's coming into the living room, but don't worry, it's going to get back on this foot, after all, it's the foot that regulates this part of the soul.
So we went back to the couch, and Situ picked up the eyeball that was put aside and threw it into the dressing. He held the porcelain wine glass in his hand, kept pondering, and told us that there were only two things he didn't have an answer to, one was to leave an old-fashioned phone for the other party, but this answer would be obtained when Fu Yunni came back, and we might be able to get it when we opened the phone. The other one, this wine glass, I really can't figure out why I should use that eyeball in the wine glass.
Old man Situ has traveled all his life, and if he says that he has eaten more salt than we have eaten, I will definitely believe it. When Situ was by our side, we couldn't help but be a little bolder, because he was very knowledgeable in metaphysics, including history and culture, and was often able to tell the key to the problem, even those problems that had plagued me and Hu Zongren for a long time. And at the moment, even he can't figure it out, so we can only be in a hurry. Hu Zongren said to Master Situ, then otherwise, I will call my godmother and ask her to take this eyeball and help her walk through the yin?
Situ hurriedly waved his hand and said, you better don't do this as soon as possible, how old is Granny Huang, this is an obvious ghost, aren't you making trouble for her, in case the yin goes down and you find that you can't deal with it, can you be responsible if she can't come back. Hu Zongren frowned and nodded, I thought to myself that what Situ said was also true, this time because of Hu Zongren's relationship, I really have pulled a lot of people to rush this troubled water, Granny Huang herself is old, and her health is not very good, and I really can't stand it if she tosses such a powerful ghost.
After a while, Fu Yunni came back, she looked a little tired, I think it was because the weather was too hot. After she handed us the charger, she stood by the air conditioner and blew the air conditioner. Situ re-installed the battery on the charger to charge, and pointed to the card in the mobile phone and said to us, this card is with this mobile phone, you may not have noticed, this card has been used for many years, and the current mobile phone basically does not match this kind of calling card. I nodded, thinking to myself that this is right, there is no reason to just give us a phone for nothing, no matter how bad it is. Ten minutes later, Situ felt that the current battery power was basically enough to turn on normally, so he took off the battery and installed it in the mobile phone.
This is also a common problem of many old digital appliances, and the time cannot be synchronized with power failure. After entering the time, I took my phone from Situ's hand and began to look through the information records. But whether it's the inbox, the outbox, or even the draft box, there is no information. So I went back to the home screen, and when I didn't know what to do, Situ suddenly said to me, you check the call list or something.
He reminded me of this, so I pressed the dial-out button, with a "beep" electronic tone, two numbers appeared, both numbers have no name only numbers, the number on the top to see the dialing time, is on August 19, 2010, that is, the day when Hu Zongren and I were in distress in the Chaotianmen shoe store, and the other number is August 18, a day apart, and at the same time I also found that the number on August 18 was a number that came in.
I know this number, this is Hu Zongren's phone number.
