Chapter 7: A False Alarm
The fire flickered in the corridor, and the weeping ripples behind me, and the strange atmosphere made me run upstairs like crazy because I didn't have time to think about it.
When I got home, my shirt was already clinging to my flesh with sweat, and I could even hear my heartbeat in my chest.
I sat on the edge of the bed gasping for air, wondering what the hell was going on tonight.
first ran into the driver who stopped producing cigarettes for me, and then met the old man in black who lived in the coffin room, and now he is not at ease when he comes home, and he actually bumped into the old lady who returned to his soul for the first seven years, is it true that the Midyear Festival is really not suitable for going out?
After drinking most of the cold soda, my restless mood calmed down a little, and although it wasn't normal tonight, nothing happened anyway.
I walked to the door to make sure I locked the door, went to the bathroom and took a shower, and by the time I got back to bed and lay down, it was already about two o'clock in the morning.
Seeing that it was not early, I wanted to go to bed quickly, but after lying down, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw the old man in black standing on the third floor of the library waving to me, or the old lady casting a vicious look at me as I pulled the sack.
After lying down for about half an hour, I became suspicious, and I always felt as if someone was watching me in the room.
It made me feel a chill in my heart, and I had goosebumps all over my body.
In the end, I simply got up and turned on the light, rather than not falling asleep, it is better to brush the mobile phone for a while, anyway, I don't have to clock in and sign in for this kind of work, what time to go to work, it's a big deal to make up for sleep tomorrow morning.
After turning on the light, the place I saw was bright, and I became much bolder, and then I began to lie on the bed and watch short videos.
I don't know what's wrong with this video software.,Net pushed me some grimacing videos.。
I originally wanted to use short videos to hypnotize, but I didn't expect that the more I watched, the more energetic I became, and finally I simply turned off the software and began to close my eyes and recuperate.
I just closed my eyes for a while and remembered the matter of Daqing Cigarette Factory, when I was in front of the library time was more nervous, I didn't see a reason to close the page, and now I can study it while I can't sleep.
Thinking in my heart, I opened the search engine, typed in a few words of Daqing Cigarette Factory, and began to check the information at that time.
According to records, the Red Lotus brand cigarettes of Daqing Cigarette Factory have always been loved by the masses, and in the 80s, they also won the reputation of the top ten cigarettes in the country.
However, the good times did not last long, and within a few years, a fire burned the entire factory into empty shells, and more than 100 workers were all killed in the fire.
After reading the report, I couldn't help but be a little puzzled, generally speaking, cigarette factories are forbidden to fire, and even lighters can't be brought in, so how can such a big fire occur?
Puzzled, I continued to look down for the information of the cigarette factory, and after a while, I found a few pictures of the cigarette factory taken at that time.
Judging from the pictures, the scale of Daqing Cigarette Factory is not small, and there are three or four factories that make cigarettes alone.
These more than 100 employees are not working in the same factory, why are they all burned to death, is it possible that there is something wrong with this?
I pondered and continued to look down, and soon a picture of a cigarette factory honoring model workers caught my attention.
Four tobacco factory employees stand in the center of the picture, and the leader next to them is wearing large red flowers on their chests.
In those days, the big red flower was a supreme honor, and these employees had a simple smile on their faces.
A kind and simple smile is always contagious, and I can't help but laugh when I see a few employees with smiles on their lips.
I didn't laugh for two seconds, my facial expression froze directly, and my phone fell on the bed with a shudder.
One of the employees who was honored looked so familiar that he looked exactly like the driver who took me to the library tonight!
I thought I was dazzled for a while, but when I picked up my phone again and looked closely, I found that the two people did not look the same!
Could it be that this driver is the person who was commended in the cigarette factory, and later became a taxi driver after the cigarette factory caught fire and lost his job?
If you think about it, all the employees were burned to death when the cigarette factory caught fire, and if he had survived to this point, it would not be possible for the report to say that none of them survived.
And the man in the photo looks to be in his early thirties, and the driver who pulled me is about the same age.
It stands to reason that this driver is in his fifties in the past 20 years, how can he look so young, could it be that the two of them are not the same person?
But if it's not the same person, how can these two people look so similar, and how can this driver have Red Lotus brand cigarettes in his hand?
I was confused by the chaos of my thoughts for a while, and it just so happened that a wave of sleepiness hit me, and I put my phone aside and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but there was a sharp knock on the door from the direction of the living room, and I woke up suddenly when I heard the sound, and when I opened my eyes, the light was already visible through the cracks in the curtains, and the lights were still on in the room.
I glanced at the phone next to the pillow, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, and then I yawned and turned off the lights and went to open the door, thinking to myself who is so short-sighted, and knocked on someone's door in the morning.
The door creaked open, and before I saw the people outside the door, I said angrily: "Who, don't let me sleep peacefully in the morning, it's okay to be idle......"
Before I could finish speaking, my scalp tightened instantly, and I was about to close the door.
At this time, in addition to the eldest sister who was pregnant 603, there was also the old lady who saw in the corridor!
Seeing that I hurriedly closed the door, the pregnant eldest sister suddenly put a hand into the house just as the door was about to close.
Fortunately, I reacted quickly and stopped, otherwise my eldest sister's arm would have been broken.
"Eldest sister, I don't have a grudge against you, I don't complain about what you did with me, it wasn't enough to scare me like this last night, and I brought the old lady to the house today, did I not send the old lady away The old lady changed her mind and planned to stay for a few more days, I can tell you, don't look at my age, I'm still a child, if you don't want to cause trouble, leave quickly!" I shouted through the door.
"What nonsense are you talking about, I know you misunderstood, that's why I brought my mother over to give you relief!" The eldest sister outside the door said angrily.
The eldest sister's words made me a little confused, listening to her mean that I misunderstood, could it be that this old lady is not a dirty thing?
Although I was suspicious, I didn't dare to open the door completely, and I looked out through the crack in the door.
The pregnant eldest sister, who hadn't seen it clearly, suddenly grabbed the palm of her hand stuck in the crack of the door, grabbed me by the collar and pulled me out of the door!
For a moment I was unsteady and almost bumped into the old lady, but luckily I grabbed the door frame and didn't make close contact.
The old lady's face was still full of wrinkles, and if a mosquito fell on it, she would probably be caught to death, but at this time her eyes had become very kind, and she was no longer as vicious as last night.
"Take a good look, there is a shadow under my mother's feet, if there is a shadow of dirty things, and can dirty things come out during the day!"
Although the eldest sister said that she was pregnant, she grabbed my collar and pulled it down hard, and my eyes looked towards the ground, and sure enough, there was indeed the shadow of an old lady on the ground.
"No, where did this filthy thing come from?" I said to myself.
"Our hometown is also called my mother-in-law, so it is actually my mother-in-law who worships in the early hours of this morning, this is my own mother, she heard that my mother-in-law died a week ago, and her heart has been thinking about me, so she only took a car to the city yesterday to serve me in the confinement, I didn't expect to let you run into it when I went upstairs, and I also met me and your eldest brother burning paper downstairs, I saw you running upstairs and knew that you misunderstood, but I was afraid that knocking on your door in the middle of the night was more scary, so I specially came to tell you this morning." The pregnant eldest sister explained earnestly.
After listening to the pregnant eldest sister, it dawned on me that my mind was in a mess last night, and I actually made such a joke.
The old lady is not dirty, but why didn't she let me touch her sack last night?
The old lady was stunned when she saw me, probably guessing what I was thinking, and giggled, and the folds on her face were piled together.
"Young man, I don't know you well here, and I don't know where you came from, so I'm a little wary of you, the sack contains the three thousand yuan I brought to my daughter, I think she is about to give birth and I can use it, so I didn't let you touch the sack last night, don't blame my old lady."
As she spoke, the old lady lifted the plastic bag in her hand and handed it to me, saying that it was a souvenir she had brought from her hometown, and that it would be a gift for me to give me a taste.
I looked down and saw that there were fried peanuts inside, and there was still a burst of aroma inside.
Pity the parents of the world, it turns out that the old lady thought I was going to rob her of her money so she desperately protected it, no wonder she looked at me with that kind of eyes at that time.
Now that the truth of the matter is revealed, I finally breathe a sigh of relief, thank you for the pregnant eldest sister and the old lady just wanted to close the door, at this time the pregnant eldest sister glanced at my room, and suddenly looked stunned, and said in surprise: "Why is the dress hanging in your room so like a shroud, I heard that you are in the live broadcast industry, you don't clean up these ghostly things, otherwise it will be easy to lead dirty things to the house, and then it will be troublesome!" ”
"Don't talk about the eldest sister, I ...... the shroud last night"
I just said half a sentence and couldn't say anything, the pregnant eldest sister only started to come out to burn paper after I went downstairs, and she couldn't have known that I was throwing a shroud.
Besides, I have only opened the box in the bedroom, and it is impossible for outsiders to know what is inside, if this is the case, then shroud......
I didn't have time to think about it, I turned around and froze on both legs as I looked into the bedroom.
The shroud I threw away was hanging on the hanger in my bedroom at the moment, swaying with the autumn breeze blowing in from the window!
