Chapter 23 Hatbrim Alley

The middle-aged man surnamed Chen I know is only Chen Xiangming, and I did meet him last night, so he must be standing at the door now!

But didn't Chen Xiangming die three years ago, and I saw his tombstone in Tianxiu Mountain Cemetery last night.

The three words of Chen Xiangming are clearly engraved on it, as well as his black and white portrait, it is possible that it is Chen Xiangming's ghost standing outside the door at this moment!

I don't believe that this kind of thing would have been killed in the middle of the day, but I can't help but think about it in my heart after experiencing so many things in the past few days.

After all, when I was eating at the breakfast stall that morning, the stall owner also said that he had not seen Chen Xiangming, which means that the Chen Xiangming I saw these few times were ghosts.

After reacting, I hurriedly put the chair that Li Hai had withdrawn against the door, and then picked up the water dispenser next to me and pressed it on the stool.

Li Hai saw that I looked panicked, his face was puzzled, and asked: "What are you doing, how can people outside scare you like this, besides, it is a society under the rule of law, even if you owe money, he doesn't dare to ...... you?"

"Don't chatter, how do you know it's not a ghost standing outside, if you're really my brother, hurry up and help block the door, if you wait for him to come in, you'll be in trouble!" I yelled as I carried my things to the door.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not like I haven't watched the movie, if it's a ghost, can this break be stopped, he won't swoop in yet, I see that your kid's imagination is getting richer and richer, otherwise don't be an anchor, just change your career to write a novel." Li Hai stood aside and kept making mocking remarks, not realizing the seriousness of the matter at all.

Seeing that Li Hai didn't care, I didn't pay attention to him anymore, and continued to pile up all kinds of furniture in front of the door.

Last night, I had already confirmed that Chen Xiangming was a ghost, as long as it was a ghost, he would definitely have a plan for me, so I must not let him in, and not only will I lose my life, but maybe even Li Hai will be implicated.

"Little brother, I left last night when I had something urgent, I'm really sorry I didn't say hello to you, now that the matter has been dealt with, you hurry up and give me that thing, don't forget that today is the last day, if you don't hurry up and solve your ......"

Without waiting for Chen Xiangming to finish speaking, I roared angrily: "Hurry up and get out of the way, don't think that pretending to be a ghost is afraid of you, I tell you the truth, that thing has been sent to the police station this morning, if you have the guts, go to the police station, don't come to me again!" ”

"Police...... Police station? What are you doing with that thing at the police station, that thing is a life-saving thing for you, don't you have a hard time with yourself! Chen Xiangming stood outside the door and shouted.

"That thing was originally mine, I can send it wherever I want, don't you want to keep it for yourself, then you go to the police station and ask to see if they give it to you!" With that, I kicked angrily at the pile of furniture.

"You kid is really a hard bone, okay, since you have handed over that thing to the police, then I don't care about your business, you just wait to die!" After Chen Xiangming finished saying this, there was a sound of footsteps coming downstairs outside the door, and it seemed that Chen Xiangming had left.

Seeing that after Chen Xiangming left, my whole body seemed to be drained of energy, and I sat on the ground with a paralysis.

This is really too dangerous, fortunately I stopped Li Hai from opening the door just now, otherwise the lives of the two of us would have been confessed here.

"This old boy even threatened you, how much do you owe them, and he can still say such things as asking you to die?" Li Hai looked at me and said puzzled.

"I can't tell you about this, anyway, you know that I don't owe anyone money, now hurry up and help me move my things, I'll go out to do something!" I looked at Li Hai and urged.

Now that the old woman has not been eliminated, there is another Chen Xiangming, which is really a wave of unsettled waves.

Who the hell am I recruiting, and it's all up to me.

Originally, I wanted to go to Ziyangguan early this morning to find a master to help, but I didn't expect the shroud to be lost.

The shroud is the culprit of this matter, and even if I go without the shroud, it will be useless.

For now, there is only one person I can think of, and that is Qin Wenhua!

I don't know if he's a human or a ghost yet, but at least the yellow paper triangle he gave me last night was useful.

If it weren't for this thing, I'm afraid I would have been hacked to death by the old woman last night, so I thought I needed to go to him.

Besides, it's less than half a day away from my limit now, and it's all a death anyway, so it's better to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and it's a hundred times stronger than sitting and waiting for death now.

After making up my mind, I began to move away the furniture blocked in front of the door, Li Hai saw this and stopped me directly, and stopped: "What are you doing, that person has just left, you are not afraid that he will ambush you downstairs, so be it, if you want to go out, you can do it, but you must take me, I am also a foil by your side, if you promise to help you move things now, if you don't agree, you don't want to leave today!" ”

As Li Hai spoke, I glanced at the clock on the wall next to me, and it was already about two o'clock in the afternoon, ten hours before the deadline.

Time is pressing, I can't continue to delay, after all, Qin Wenhua is in the taxi industry, who knows if he is at home now, if he is not at home, then I will not be in trouble.

After some violent inner struggle, I had to nod my head and agree, and told Li Hai not to talk too much, even if he had doubts in his heart, he must hold back.

Li Hai nodded hurriedly after hearing this, and then began to help me carry the furniture, and after the furniture in front of the door was emptied, Li Hai went back to the house and changed into a clean and neat clothes, and then followed me out of the door.

In addition to the yellow paper triangle, there was a note in the sachet that Qin Wenhua gave me, and the note said No. 365 Hatbrim Hutong, which should be where Qin Wenhua lived.

When we came to the side of the road, Li Hai and I flagged down a taxi, informed the driver of the destination, and drove in the direction of Maoxi Hutong.

Haobrim Hutong is about an hour away from Tianyang Community, which is located in the old city and is surrounded by almost all bungalow courtyards with few buildings.

Most of the people living here are elderly, after all, young people rarely choose to rent a house here, and the surrounding environment is very dirty and far from the main city.

Just as I was looking at the scenery outside the window, Li Hai's voice came from my ears: "Chen Mo, what are you doing in the hat brim alley, I heard that this place is a bit evil." ”

Maybe my nerves were too nervous in the past two days, and when I heard Li Hai mention the word evil, I immediately turned my head to look at him, and said in surprise: "Evil? What's evil about this hat brim alley? ”

Li Hai scratched his head and said in a low voice: "I don't know, anyway, there are a lot of rumors about the hat brim alley, I heard that the hat brim alley was an ancient battlefield a long time ago, and there were a lot of dead people, I heard that there is a mass grave under the alley, as long as you walk in the alley at night, you can hear the sound of war horses neighing and soldiers rushing to kill, as for whether it is true or not, I don't know, I heard it when listening to the chat of the older generation of local people." ”

After listening to Li Hai's words, my heart sank, and before I could open my mouth to respond, the taxi driver in the cab suddenly turned his head and said in a low voice: "Of course this is true, I lived in the hat brim alley a few years ago, and that place is really evil at night, as long as it is dark, you can ensure that you can't see half a figure, the doors of every house are locked, and even the children dare not cry, if you see someone passing by in the alley at night......

Speaking of this, the driver turned around and continued to look at the road conditions, Li Hai was anxious, and asked: "What's wrong with seeing someone passing by, master, don't sell it and say it quickly." ”

"There's a good chance it's not human." The driver said in a gloomy voice.

Hearing this, Li Hai sneered, looked at the driver in the cab and smiled: "Master, I said these are to scare my buddies, why do you still say that you have a nose and eyes, I have been here for several years, why don't I know that there are such rumors in the hat brim alley?" ”

"Just because I haven't heard of it doesn't mean that I haven't, anyway, I advise you on a word, it's okay to go to this hat brim alley during the day, but as long as it's dark, you must come out quickly, don't stay in the alley, it's not clean inside!" The driver's tone was solemn, and from his earnest expression, it didn't look like he was lying.

Li Hai never believed in ghosts and gods, but now seeing what the driver said, he couldn't help but sneer: "The dirty mess of the hat brim alley is famous in our local area, if it is clean, then it will be hell!" ”

"You brothers don't believe it, right, in this case, I'll tell you a real story about my own experience, I saw a ghost in Hatbrim Alley when I was seven years old......"

According to the driver, the incident happened in 1978, when he had just turned seven.

At that time, not long after the hat brim alley was established, there were red bricks and blue tiles everywhere, and the alley was full of weeping willows, which was a local scene.

One night after dinner, he was playing football with his brother in the yard, but his brother accidentally kicked the ball out of the yard.

At that time, there were not so many rumors in the hat brim alley, so he took advantage of the moonlight to walk out of the courtyard to find the ball in the alley.

The hat brim alley is not very wide, and the distance between north and south is about four or five meters.

After going out, the driver began to look for it along the alley in front of the door, but after looking for more than ten minutes, he was stunned and did not find it.

It stands to reason that his younger brother is only four or five years old, how strong can this kick be, how can he not find it after looking for so long.

Just when the driver was puzzled, he suddenly heard a thudding sound not far behind him.

Looking back, there was a ball rolling on the ground about seven or eight meters away from him.

Although his vision was not very clear, the driver still recognized the ball by virtue of the moonlight, which was the one that his brother kicked just now.

After finding the ball, the driver was overjoyed and hurriedly ran in the direction of the ball.

When he came to the ball and was about to pick it up, a man's cold voice sounded behind him.

"Kid, my uncle's head has dropped, can you help me pick it up?"
