Chapter 188: Dead Man's Eyeballs
"Ahh I took a step back, gasping for air. There must be children in this house, and they are bear children that Conan has seen too much. I let out two long breaths and said to myself, "What the fuck I fucked and played with this." "I just wanted to bang on the door again, and I scolded when someone opened the door.
But just as my hand was raised, I thought of that Qimen Dunjia game. Now that we know that these are supernatural events, it is very likely that there is no bear child inside, but a real, dead man's eyeball.
Something happened at home? But it wasn't a fierce thing, I hesitated for a moment, but decided to come back at dawn. Some things are dangerous at night, but they are less dangerous during the day.
As soon as I turned around and went downstairs, I saw Tao Jing and Xiaoxiao around the corner. I opened my mouth, and just as I was about to call them, they screamed and ran down. Accompanied by screams, there is also the sound of small falls.
Xiaoxiao is not an athletic girl, and she is not familiar with this place, so it is possible that she will fall after being frightened. When I turned around, Tao Jing had already run back and turned around, and was about to run for her life with Xiaoxiao on her back. I said, "Hey! It's me! ”
Tao Jing's movements stopped, she was stunned for a moment, looked at me, and exhaled a long breath: "Why are you scaring us in the middle of the night?" The little ones all fell. ”
I walked over and looked at Tiny. Actually, it's not that good, they wear a lot in winter, and they should be scared, they are still wearing thick jeans. "It's okay."
"It's fine." She stood up. It's just a little abrasion on the palm. The three of them returned to Tao Jing's house together, and Tao Jing asked me why I came when she gave Xiao Xiao the medicine.
I said, "I can't think about it, so I'll just come and have a look." ”
"You just went upstairs to see it."
"Hmm."
"Did you find anything? Is there a ghost playing marbles on it? Tao Jing asked.
"It's okay, you're overthinking. Go to sleep first, no matter what you hear, it won't affect you. The house is like an enchantment, even if something goes wrong upstairs, it won't affect the downstairs. Tao Jing, I sleep on the sofa, is there a quilt? ”
"Yes, I've got the most pillows here right now." She walked into the room to hold the quilt for me, and Xiao Xiao smiled embarrassedly: "Bao Ye, it seems that I shouldn't come today." Haha, I'm sorry to bother you and Tao Jing. ”
"What nonsense? Go to bed in peace. ”
Tao Jing hugged me her quilt, and she now sleeps in her parents' room, using her parents' big quilt. I lay down on the couch, but I didn't really sleep, but waited for the sound of marbles to sound. Let's see if you can guess something.
It was quiet, and the girls in the room couldn't hear any of them, and I didn't know what the drunkard was still muttering and swearing. But I never heard the sound of marbles. Can it only be heard in the bedroom? But just now I saw them in the living room.
Just as I was wondering, the sound of marbles came. The sound of "da-da A few seconds later, the sound of marbles fell in about the same place.
I've been there all night listening to the sound of marbles, and it's really giving me something to say. That's definitely two marbles, not more.
At the beginning of December, it was late in the morning, and I didn't sleep all night, and I couldn't sleep at six o'clock, and the sound of marbles disappeared, so I simply went out to buy breakfast for the two girls.
At six o'clock in winter, even the breakfast sellers on the street did not set up a stall, so I had to buy raw materials from others and cook them at home. Fortunately, Tao Jing had a heart and put her key on the table in the living room. By the time I was cooking porridge in the kitchen with my apron around and a couple of black hairpins on my head, they got up too.
Tao Jing is that character, seeing that I was busy in the kitchen, she quietly stepped forward and slapped me in the back: "Bao! Are you really a wife? ”
I was so scared of her that I almost got burned! said angrily: "While brushing my teeth and washing my face, I have cooked it." ”
"It's delicious, you can cook?"
"I used to work two jobs at home, and I often had to cook my own food."
Xiao Xiao looked at me like this, and it was obvious that she was shyer than me. When the three of them were all full and ready to go out, I asked them to go first, and I went upstairs to have a look.
Tao Jing hurriedly jumped beside me from a small distance: "I'll go with you." ”
"You go to school with Xiaoxiao, don't leave Xiaoxiao alone. People are kind enough to accompany you. ”
"I've already thanked Xiaoxiao for being so close to the school that she can do it alone. I'll go with you! She insisted.
I looked at Xiaoxiao, who quickly shook her head: "If you want to go, go away, I want to go back to school." That...... Good bye. Xiaoxiao just left, and then looked at Tao Jing's affirmative look, I asked, "You're not afraid?" ”
"I'm not afraid to have you."
"You're exalting me too much." I said as I led her upstairs. Since it has been determined that there is no malicious intent, it should be able to communicate.
We walked up the stairs and knocked on the door, but this time I didn't dare look at the cat's eye. Although you are not afraid of ghosts, you will be scared if suddenly such a dead man's eyes are staring at you so closely.
In fact, when I knocked on the door, I was already ready that no one would open the door, so I delayed it until it was time to go to work, and then pry the door. But after a few knocks, the door opened.
There was a cool smell in front of me, and I felt cold even in my cotton jacket. Tao Jing was right behind me, and she shivered directly.
It was an old man who opened the door to us, and it looked like he was already in his seventies and eighties. The sky is full of wrinkles, and he is still on a stainless steel crutch with a flashlight. Hurriedly smiled: "Grandpa is good." ”
Tao Jing followed and said, "Hello Grandpa Li." "So she knew this family before.
Grandpa Li looked at Tao Jing and said, "Tao Jing, come and sit." ”
The old man let us in. There is nothing abnormal in this house, Tao Jing and I are sitting on the sofa, and Grandpa Li shouts inside: "Old woman, Tao Jing come up and sit, do you see any other fruits?" ”
Grandma Li also came out, she called Tao Jing with a smile, and then opened the refrigerator. I looked over and the greens in the refrigerator were all yellow! I think it's going to be in the refrigerator for five or six days. Grandma Li brought us a few apples, put them in the fruit basket, and said, "Tao Jing is still like this." How will I marry in the future? ”
Tao Jing smiled: "Grandma, now others like my type." By the way, grandma, I just want to ask, is there anything wrong with your family these days? ”
"Something is wrong?" Grandma Li looked at Grandpa Li with a puzzled face. Grandpa Li pointed to the clock on the wall and said, "The bell suddenly stopped leaving." ”
I followed the direction pointed by Grandpa Li, and it was a very old pendulum clock, which should be the wind-up kind. Grandpa Li continued: "I don't know why, this bell should be broken. We just slept and woke up, and the clock didn't leave. I didn't go away after clockwork. ”
My heart froze. This kind of clock itself has a strong magnetic field, and some of them can be used for hundreds of years, and the good ones are not gone, not because the clock is broken, but because there is a problem with this space. Something went wrong with the time in this space.
Grandpa Li continued: "We can't fix this bell either, and now there is no one at home to watch the time. ”
Tao Jing stretched her neck: "Is there anything else?" Grandpa Li, for example, are there any marbles? ”
Grandma Li smiled: "Yes, I used to put a few when my grandson came back. What happened to marbles? ”
Tao Jing swallowed her saliva and looked nervous: "Can I take a look?" ”
Grandma Li trembled and walked under the TV cabinet and took out a shoebox, which did have a lot of marbles in it, but they were all in the shoebox. There are not just two, but dozens.
Not these! The thought crossed my mind. I got up and walked to the kitchen to take a look at the house. There was a strong smell of mold in the kitchen. I turned on the rice cooker to follow the smell, and there was moldy leftovers in the pot, which looked like it was at least five or six days ago.
I said, "Grandpa, I'll make lunch for you." Today we are here to express our condolences to you. ”
"No, no, no." Grandpa Li shouted from the living room, "You put it down." I don't know why, but when I woke up a few days ago, we didn't feel hungry. I haven't eaten for so many days. Leave it alone, and when we're hungry, your grandma will do it. ”
I understand, I understand why the clock here doesn't go, why the food in the fridge is yellow. Why is the rice in the kitchen moldy? And the sound of the marbles, I think I guessed it too.
Grandma Li stood up with a smile, walked to the kitchen, and said, "I'll come, we old people are not hungry, but young people will be hungry." Come, grandma will give you two glasses of milk. This milk was delivered by the milk delivery station yesterday evening. Just heat it in the microwave. You go to the living room and sit down. ”
I nodded, and returned to Tao Jing's side in the living room. But his eyes were still paying attention to the movements of the old woman over there.
Grandpa Li is talking to Tao Jing about her parents, that is, about her parents' divorce. I watched as the grandmother poured out the milk, put it in a cup, turned on the microwave, heated it up, and took it out.
The old grandmother was holding out the cup with her head down, and at this moment, her eye beads fell out of her sockets and fell directly into the milk. She whispered, "Yo, it's down again." ”
She fished out the eyeball, put it back in its socket, and walked over with the two glasses of milk.
Tao Jing reached out and took the cup, and said with a smile: "Thank you, grandma." As soon as I was about to put the milk to my mouth, I snatched her cup and said, "Alright, we're going back to school." I'm going to be late for class. ”
"Grandma has helped us warm up the milk, it's just warm, it's suitable for drinking. It doesn't take more than a few minutes to drink milk. ”
