Early the next morning, I decided to look for that Duan Yuwen. At first, I planned to follow the new address on the letter, but Liu Zhen shook his head and told me that the address of the letter was fake, and that the real address was told to Liu Zhen that night. I thought about it, and my heart was right, since I was deliberately hiding something, then the address of the letter must not be so simple.

At this time, my body was almost completely healed, the swelling of my left arm had completely disappeared, but there were still some red spots on my wrists, and I couldn't help but admire Bu Jin's medical skills. When she saw that I was getting better, she walked up to me and told me to lower my head, and I was a little confused, but I did it. As soon as I lowered my head, Na Bu Jin slapped me on the back of the head coldly, and my head immediately went numb, and I sneezed, and she immediately picked it up with her hand. All of a sudden, I saw a terrible-looking green beetle spurting out of my nose, and the green and shiny beetle was still stained with thick blood. When I saw this, I felt so sick that I almost vomited. However, as soon as the back of Na Bu Jin's hand flipped, the green beetle disappeared all of a sudden, and she didn't know where she had hidden it.

I looked at Bu Jin, her face was calm, I knew that even if I asked her what was going on, it would be in vain, with her character, she must have shook her head and prevaricated me, so I simply didn't ask.

I'm a person who hasn't been very curious since I was a child, and I always look like I'm not surprised by what happens, but I never expected that what would happen a few hours later would be so incredible to me that even I was fascinated by it and couldn't extricate myself.

We paid the money to the innkeeper for a few more days, left my and Bu Jin's luggage there, and walked out of the hotel.

We called a taxi, and Liu Zhen gave the driver the address. To my surprise, the address was so remote. I wasn't familiar with Kunming, but looking at the direction of the taxi, it was going southeast, and after more than an hour, we drove out of the city and came to an unknown town.

The town is not big, and the weather is a little cloudy today, and it seems to be raining, so the streets of the town seem very deserted, as if they are deserted.

The taxi driver didn't seem to be very familiar with this place, and after asking passers-by, he found Building 19 of Qianhua Street.

And the address given by my father is only these, Building 19 Qianhua Street, and there is no detailed house number.

We got out of the car and were in front of a rather shabby old style apartment. From the outside, the apartment is not high, only four floors, and the location is not good, with a row of balconies on the light side, but it has been blocked by the newly built community building in front of it. It seems that the residents here do not see the sun at all except at noon.

The exterior of the apartment building is a white lime wall, many of which have peeled off, and the walls are covered with moss because they have not seen light for many years. On the aisle of the staircase on the outside is a large word "demolition", which seems to have been written a long time ago. I looked along the wall and saw that there were only a few people in the whole building, and I thought that it was probably a nail household, and the developer could not do anything about them.

I was a little surprised in my heart, although in my imagination, Duan Yuwen's residence was not too good, but the place in front of me was too shabby. I checked with Liu Zhen, and he replied that it must be here, and there was nothing wrong with it. So, the three of us walked up the stairs on the outside.

When I got to the corridor in the building, suddenly a fat rat rushed out, and then an indescribable stench came to my face. As soon as I walked further, I saw a big black cat "meow" and rushed out of the way, probably to chase the fat mouse just now.

The corridor was long, and the light was dim, for there was only one window at the end of the corridor, and no light was shining in at the moment. On both sides of the corridor are residents, the gray dilapidated iron door seems to be kicked open, the aisle is full of garbage, to my surprise, there are so many stray cats here, because there are no residents on the lower two floors, so we walked directly from the first floor to the third floor, but in such a short distance, we met no less than seven old cats, these cats are very large, lazy, but very sharp-eyed. In addition, cat feces and rotting fruit can be seen all over the hallway, and the strong stench is probably coming from there.

I said casually: "It seems that this place has become a paradise for stray cats, can this place live in people?" ”

As soon as I finished speaking, an iron door behind me creaked open, and I looked back to see an old lady who was nearly eighty years old. The old lady's hair was thinning, and the few remaining hairs lay limply on her head, and her face was black, her eyes were a little cloudy, her face was covered with age spots, and her hunchback was so severe that it was like a hump on her back. Those withered hands reminded me of Azina, except that they were covered with veins, and from a distance, they looked like several huge earthworms wriggling on the back of her hands.

"Who said you can't live here, am I not human? If you don't like to be stunned, leave quickly. The old lady's tone was very strange, and it sounded a bit like the lyrics in Peking Opera.

I saw that this old lady had an old face and was talking in a ghostly manner, and I couldn't help but be surprised, and said in my heart that you look like this, whether you are a person or a ghost, I really have to sum it up.

But Liu Zhen was much more stable than me, and he said to the old lady respectfully: "Auntie, we are here to find someone." ”

"Looking for someone?" The old lady raised her cloudy eyes, glanced at Liu Zhen hesitantly, and said, "You hairy boys, who are you looking for here?" Most of the people who live here are people like me, half of them have stepped into the coffin, and half of the people are already dead, so how can there be the person you are looking for. ”

"We're looking for someone named Duan Yuwen." I say.

"I've never heard of such a person, so let's go." The old lady turned away as she spoke, and when she turned around, I could not even see her head, but only her hunched and deformed back.

As soon as Liu Zhen saw this situation, he immediately stopped the old lady and said, "Auntie, don't worry, think about it again, we have this Wang Chengbao's address, and it is written here." ”

Seeing that Liu Zhen stopped herself, the old lady suddenly came back to her senses, and an old face was almost attached to Liu Zhen's nose at once, and she opened her mouth to reveal a mouthful of black and incomplete teeth, and said viciously: "I told you that if there is no such person, there is no, you all hurry up and get out of here, don't disturb the peace of us half-dead people, otherwise, when I die, I will become a ghost, and I won't let you be quiet!" ”

After speaking, the old lady turned around and slammed the iron door shut.

"Damn, this old lady is sick." I said.

Liu Zhen hurriedly covered my mouth and said, "Don't say that, she can hear it." ”

"What's wrong with that?" I broke away from Liu Zhen's hand and deliberately said loudly: "This broken apartment is so big, can't I find it from room to door, I don't need to beg her." I hate this kind of old man the most, not only does his mouth stink, but he always likes to rely on the old and sell the old, and he deserves to live here alone and no one cares. ”

Liu Zhen used his strength to pull me aside, "Can you say a few words?" ”

I calmed down, and I also felt that what I just said was a bit excessive, but I still refused to let it go, and complained: "It's not a matter of me saying less, what kind of nonsense did you listen to what the old guy said just now?" It's really true that it has become a ghost and won't let us be quiet. ”

As I was talking, Bu Jin on the side suddenly made a silent gesture. I was stunned, Bu Jin has not moved since she came here, and this time her sudden reaction surprised me a little.

Liu Zhen also felt strange, so he didn't talk to me anymore, and for a while, the entire gloomy corridor suddenly fell silent. I don't know if I was infected by the atmosphere of this gloomy corridor, or if it was purely because of Bu Jin's psychological effects, I suddenly felt very nervous.

Bu Jin saw that we didn't speak, so he pointed to the iron door that the old lady walked out of just now. Liu Zhen and I didn't understand what she meant for a while, looked at each other twice, and wanted to step forward together.

However, as soon as the foot moved, suddenly a terrible wail came from the old lady's iron door. Liu Zhen and I were taken aback, not because of the suddenness of the cry, but because of the poignant sound. It was a wail that seemed to come out before death, and that terrible sound was like a sharp sword that pierced through your skin and gave you goosebumps when you heard it.

"Holy, what's the sound." I involuntarily lowered my voice and asked.

Liu Zhen also looked frightened and said, "I don't know how to say, it sounds a bit like ...... Like a baby's cry. ”

Bu Jin shook his head on the side, and finally said a word, "Cat." ”

Cat? I was shocked to see that there were indeed a lot of stray cats roaming around the apartment, and that the sound was clearly coming from the old lady's house. I thought to myself, could it be that this old lady was too lonely to live alone, so she took in a stray cat as a companion.

I told Liu Zhen what I said, and Liu Zhen nodded, indicating that it was very likely. Although we were taken aback just now, the two of us didn't think much about it, and at this moment the two of us wanted to find that Duan Yuwen as soon as possible. However, Na Bu Jin seemed to be obsessed with this cat meow, and what made me even more strange was that she had not taken a few steps to smell the dirty walls on either side. Seeing her move, I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, and said that the last time she did this was in the hotel, after that, she said that a person had died in the bathtub of the hotel, and then a ghost was created.

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly cooled in half. Could it be that there were people in this apartment too? I secretly prayed that this Bu Jin wouldn't make some kind of ghost after a while. Fortunately, more than ten minutes passed, and Na Bu Jin just smelled the wall all the time, and did not make any other moves.

Liu Zhen also felt that Bu Jin's behavior was strange and abnormal, and threw me an inquiring look, and I shrugged my shoulders, indicating that I didn't know what she was doing.

Soon, we knocked on all the doors on the third and fourth floors, but strangely, we didn't find that Duan Yuwen.

Many of the iron gates here are hidden, because the occupants inside have long since moved out, so there is only an empty house, and there is no need to lock it.

To Liu Zhen and I, there were cats in almost every room without a locked door, and some of these cats were more or less one, while some had more than a dozen cats in the house, some of them were large and small. However, what is terrifying and disgusting is that in some of the rooms there are the corpses of several cats, all of which are very large and have very hideous faces. The most unbearable thing is that there are still a few smaller cats next to those dead cats that are gnawing on the corpse of the old cat.

Although I am not afraid of cats, I have always been a little taboo about cats because of the ghost stories I heard from old people when I was a child, and most of the places where cats, especially black cats, appeared, so I have always been a little taboo about cats. So, when we opened the door and found that there were several old cats staring at us vigilantly, I always felt a little panicked in my heart.

In the whole building, we only saw three families. One is the house where the old lady lived, and the other two, one room with a couple in their sixties, and one room with an old painter in his fifties. Although they were younger than the terrible-looking old lady, they all looked sick, and they were really a group of people who had half one foot in the coffin, as the old lady said.

We searched around and came to the only conclusion that this building was simply not for people, but for cats. In addition, the people who live here seem to have a bit of an eerie feel to it. Only the old couple were polite to us, but they said that the people in this apartment had almost no contact with each other, so they didn't know if there was a person named Duan Yuwen living here.

Nevertheless, we were not very disappointed, because at the end of the third floor, we found two houses, right opposite the door, and judging by the cleanliness of the front door, both of them should be inhabited. Liu Zhen and I both thought that Duan Yuwen should be in one of them, but we knocked on the door, but there was no one.

Liu Zhen said to me: "I think, that Yuwen is probably out of the city, didn't you also say that he was a black car driver, maybe he went out of the city to work." ”

I nodded in agreement. By this time, it was almost noon, and I felt a little hungry, so I said, "Let's find a place to eat around here now, and when we are full, we will wait here and wait for him." ”

Liu Zhen agreed, and only that Bu Jin hesitated in front of one of the doors, her nose against the crack of the door, as if she was still sniffing something.

We left the apartment and I complained as I went downstairs. Suddenly, a young figure came from downstairs and collided with us.

When I looked up, I felt familiar. If you look closely, that slender and pale face, and that sick look, isn't that the person I almost knocked me down in the toilet on my first night in Yunnan, how could he come here?
