There was only a business card on the bed with a name printed on it, a phone next to it, and a line of words written underneath.

"The ghosts in the house are unusual, contact this person and he can help you solve them.

When you're done, go home and open the cash drawer to the left drawer. “

Yun'er and I are like orphans who have lost our relatives, looking for grandpa everywhere, the city is so big, we have been gone for a day.

There are as many people as fish in the sea, and none of them are grandfathers.

In the evening, I made two phone calls, one to Hongying's mother, asking her not to move back and check out, the house was not clean.

She sounded lazy, said that there was a thousand dollars under the mattress for grandpa, and paused for a long time before saying something.

"Yu'er, don't blame me, my aunt just arrived in this city, she didn't stand still, and it was difficult for herself, so she had to save money to raise her children. That's all there is to it for money, something will happen later...... Don't look for me again. The rent of the house is paid until the end of the month, and you can live as you like. ”

I hung up the phone and took the money, Yun'er was so angry that she scolded Hongying's mother for not being a thing, and she just turned her face when she helped her.

I silently dialed the second phone number and called the person on the business card, Meng Qingzhou.

When the man heard my grandfather's name on the report, he was not very enthusiastic, and said lightly, you wait, I'll go over.

I thought that the name left by my grandfather must be his friend, but who knew that he received such a cold reception, and the other party didn't even ask where his grandfather went.

The weather is not beautiful, it rains in autumn, and although it is a little hot at noon, it gets cold when it rains.

I put my arms around Yun'er and walked towards the haunted rental building with my neck bent in the drizzling autumn rain.

At that moment, I felt strongly homesick, homesick, grandfather, and the ancestral house in the village in the ravine.

The people outside are warm and cold, and I have tasted enough of this day.

When Yun'er and I were wearing sheets to keep warm, the person on the business card came.

Meng Qingzhou is a man about forty years old, his body is very strong, and his muscles are tight under his clothes.

The face is cleanly shaved, angular and full of masculinity.

He watched Yun'er and I sit in a barely furnished room with sheets draped in sheets, with only a pot of frozen chicken soup in the cold pot.

A helpless face, and a little impatient.

He sat down, lit a cigarette, and pointed at me and Yunzu, "You can come to me after graduating from elementary school, and before that, you can go to school in the village." “

"I'll pick you up in junior high school and come to school in the city."

"Every month I go to see you, there is homework for you, and I have to check it when I go. I don't understand. Those who fail to do so will be punished. “

"Let me tell you, Lao Tzu is not a nanny, I hate weak and uncontrollable bastards the most, don't be my good temper, I can gently train you."

"Where's my grandfather?" I asked stiffly.

"I don't know. Even if I know I won't tell you now. His mouth softened a little.

"I owe your grandfather a favor, but it's a bit big, the old man added a lot of interest to me."

"Tell me when you can." I chased after it.

He stared at me seriously, spitting on the smoke ring, "Wait for you to become an adult, at least until you have some ability and know a little bit about human accidents." ”

"For example, when accepting help from others, be gentle."

"Will Grandpa ever come back?" Yun'er's lips trembled when she asked this.

Meng Qingzhou looked at him and was slightly gentle, "I don't know, good boy, you can spare your uncle." Don't ask, I can't say anything right now. I want to know, according to our agreement, complete what I have told you, and one day, I will find out and tell you. ”

He stood up, as if he wasn't going to take us to dinner.

"You go to bed early, I will arrange what your grandfather has told me, and someone will call you tomorrow."

"I'm just helping, providing information, and if you take care of it and throw it at me, don't even think about it. What do you want to know about the ghost in this house, and ask the caller tomorrow. ”

He threw a PHS onto the bed, "Be careful to answer." ”

"Fang Yushuo, from today onwards, let's grow into a man quickly." He opened the door and glanced at me.

An autumn breeze swept through the door. He didn't use an umbrella and went into the rain.

The tall back stood tall in the white rain and mist, as if there was nothing in the world that could scare him.

Yun'er and I spent the first night without grandpa.

With my grandfather's whip on my pillow, I couldn't sleep, and I was holding my breath in my heart.

When Grandpa was turning Hongying's soul, the leaking white qi above his head was not vitality, I was afraid that it was his own soul.

He has read countless people in his life, and he can see that Hongying's mother is an unrighteous woman.

Why help such people?

I sat up quietly, and Yun'er pulled me to sit up too, "Where are you going?" ”

He looked lonely in the dark.

"Don't be afraid, brother, go see what's next door," I took the whip.

"I'll go too, I'll have to keep an eye on you." He repeated his grandfather's words.

We looked at each other and smiled, my nose was a little sore.

With their shoes on, the two of them slipped over to the next door again and secretly pushed open the door to that room.

I stepped on a stool and hung layers of sheets on the window, so I could barely see what was in the room from the outside.

Yun'er brought me wax, and I checked under the bed first, it was empty, except for a pile of dust, there was nothing.

It was impossible to hide anything in the middle of the bed, and there were some clothes in the cupboard, with a musty smell, all of which were women's clothes from the past.

Only the refrigerator was not checked, I walked to the refrigerator, grabbed the handle, and opened it violently.

It was empty, spotlessly clean, in stark contrast to the room, but not connected to Ben.

Just when we were both disappointed, Yun'er extinguished the candle in one go, and deftly ran to the window to pull down the sheet I hung on the curtain.

A burst of footsteps had gone up to the third floor, approaching us in the hallway.

He pulled me and pointed under the dirty bed, and we "swooped" back and forth.

The sound of footsteps shuffled to the door, and someone was puzzled, "Huh?" "Yes.

As soon as I was nervous, we took off the lock and put it on the windowsill.

The man stayed at the door for a while, then pushed open the door and came in—it was Old Man Zheng.

Walk around the room on two legs, stopping for a moment in front of each piece of furniture.

As if reminiscing about something, it is possible to reach out and touch these old things.

I held my breath and stared at the two black legs, which moved towards the bed......

I closed my eyes, the waiting roar didn't appear, he didn't notice us.

The bed squeaked, and Old Man Zheng sat up.

The legs were missing, and he lay down.

Then an indescribable voice sounded from the bed, and although I hadn't gotten through it yet, I knew it wasn't supposed to eavesdrop.

The bed board was pressed straight down by the man's rolling back and forth, Yun'er and I pinched our noses, listened to his suppressed moans, and didn't dare to move when we lay on the ground.

The feeling was indescribable, and my heart was pounding, and there was something else besides nervousness.

I couldn't see Yun'er's face clearly in the dark, but I could feel that this kid wasn't having a good time.

Finally, the man suppressed a few roars, gasped for breath, and the room fell silent, as if he was talking with the quilt in his arms.

As soon as he spoke, his voice was so hoarse that he could barely make out what he was saying, with the occasional faint word being heard.

By chance, I heard a woman in the village who drank pesticides and tried to die without success talking, and she was the same as this person.

Her throat burned out.

I heard one word from what he said, and he repeated it several times.

Finally, he left the room, and to its worst extent, he locked the door again.

Before I worried about how to get out, I just thought the old man was weird.

He had a whole building and could enjoy his old age in peace, but he wanted to go out and ride three wheels.

He had also drunk pesticides and burned his throat, and I remember the peasant woman who had been in the hospital for a whole month.

Because the esophagus was also burned out, it was unimaginable pain and suffering.

There is also a haunted room.

Yun'er pushed me, "Get out of here, I'm choking." ”

After making sure the old man was gone, we got out of bed, Yun'er pushed open the window and looked, "I'll get out." ”

He stepped on his chair, slipped out of the pane, and opened the door.

I made the house the same as before and slipped out the door.

While we were having breakfast, PHS rang.

I picked up the phone, and it was the voice of an adult man.

Hearing me speak, the man paused and said to himself, "This Meng Qingzhou is too nonsense, let me give clues to the child?" ”

Finally he agreed to come, and I was about to describe the address, and he said, "I know the address." He hung up the phone.

The man who came had short hair that stuck to his scalp and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

He looked at me and Yun'er, and said helplessly, "Meng Qingzhou's nephews and nieces, your family is really nosy and difficult...... Want to know something. ”

"This yard, what happened before? Did you ever die? I asked.

Yun'er was next to me, staring at the man nicely.

To my disappointment, the man shook his head, "No one has died here." ”

He changed his mind and asked me, "Why do you ask that?" ”

Before I could figure out what to say, Yun'er blurted out, "This place is haunted." ”

I thought he would laugh at us.

The man didn't laugh, he took out a pack of cigarettes and lit one, thinking about something.

Finally, he said, "No one has been found dead here, but there was a case of disappearance that had something to do with it." ”

That was 10 years ago.

At that time, the man was a young policeman, and he had handled the case ten years earlier.

It was not a big case, but the facts of the case were still fresh in his memory.

The head of the family, the old man, is a miserly person, nicknamed Zheng Duyan.

His wife died early, and he was alone with his son, and someone in the middle said that several women were ruined because he was too stingy.

Not far from here, there is a pink street with a lot of women in special trades.

The old man has been doing the work of pulling people on a tricycle ever since.

He often pulls a woman on Pink Street, a woman in her early thirties, very charming, and the two get along.

According to the police, the woman doesn't really like the old man, she just wants to have a full-time driver, and she can move in and save rent, so why not?

As for the relationship between the two, the old man should be very good, and the woman is not doing a business that does not tie up the book, and there is no more old man.

Give him some sweetness, in exchange for a bunch of convenience, why not.
