58 The women's bathhouse in the northeast 4 familiar mirrors

The scene inside the tree arch can be described in five words: "full of green".

The flat ground was covered with moss, even the asphalt was paved, and even the trunks of the trees were covered with moss.

Strangely, there were no weeds on the road, only moss. The surrounding trees are tall and dense, and the shadows of the trees can only cover a small part of the area. The scorching afternoon sun shining directly on the moss did not turn its sunburn yellow, but took on a heavy dark green color. And as if it had just been watered, it shimmered in the sun, which was very dazzling.

The air was filled with slightly fishy moisture, but the surface of the earth was dry and hard. From time to time, one or two small black beetles the size of mung beans appeared, and they didn't know where to burrow in a blink of an eye.

In the middle of this mossy field sits a small two-story flat-roofed building.

On the roof of the house, there are four big characters "Weaver Girl Bathhouse", and there is a large green oil tank behind the words. Visually, each floor of the house is more than 100 square meters, and there are no windows in the front of the first floor, and there are two air windows. On the second floor, there are three small windows and two air windows on the front, the one on the left side of which is dropped.

The door of the bathhouse is at the right end of the small building, and there is a separate small room next to the door, and there is a five-meter-high iron chimney on the roof, which is a boiler room.

The whole small building is also green, but instead of being covered with moss, it is covered with paint, and only the four characters of the Weaver Girl Bathhouse are red.

From the outside, the exterior paint of the bathhouse has faded and partially peeled off. The house was not damaged, only the lock of the door was pried open.

The scene was not even desolate, let alone weird.

"Can it still be called a haunted house like this?"

Jiang Jinjiu was disappointed, and suddenly found that Qin Xuan was not around, and after looking around, he found that she was still walking in the arch of the tree, and the speed was very slow.

He shouted, "Oh, hurry! ”

Qin Xuan ignored him and continued to walk slowly, observing both sides of the road.

He wanted to catch up, but he didn't know why he wanted to wait where he was. Watching her approach, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But seeing Qin Xuan take out two blue things from his bag, they stretched out and turned out to be a pair of shoe covers.

Jiang Jinjiu smiled bitterly: "Is this necessary?" ”

"You know, take a good look at the moss on the ground, it grows horizontally and vertically, one stem and three branches, this is purple whiskers, and some things like to use it for tentacles or mark people. You step on a foot, and the other person knows your actions without looking. ”

"Huh!? So what do I do? ”

"Come out and rub it well, and then burn it with fire."

"Good land."

He rubbed it on the asphalt several times, and found that there was a lot of moss residue left in the pattern on the soles of his shoes. He took out the lighter and set it on fire, and the slag turned to charred ash as soon as it burned like hair.

After Jiang Jinjiu finished processing and put on shoe covers, the two walked into the bathhouse together.

The front desk is not big, there is a counter, there are many small wooden compartments on the right wall, the largest number is 60, in addition to the thick dust, only the number 16 and 44 have a key inside.

There are two empty shelves behind the counter that look like they are for sale.

Behind the shelves are two bookcase-like shoe cabinets, with 60 numbered plates and a total of nine pairs of slippers, one of which is all right-footed.

There is an empty door on the left wall, and the door panel is nowhere.

Beyond the door is the dressing room, and the light shines obliquely through the air window, which can only be roughly illuminated. The wooden cabinets on the third floor are all against the wall, and the doors are all closed. There are two benches in the middle of the dressing room, and unlike other places, there is only a small amount of dust on the bench surface, which seems to have been used recently.

Further around the partition is a lounge, about 40 square meters. The window opens in the corner of the wall and is in the shade, and the light is very weak. I can only vaguely see that there are many single beds inside, and there is a small coffee table between each bed. On the wall hung an old 21-inch TV, covered with a clear plastic sheet, and on it was more of something black than dust.

The staircase leading to the second floor is in the locker room.

The second floor is relatively bright, and the white tiles are still white, except for the yellowing limescale deposited in the corners and corners. If it weren't for the rust on the water pipes and the mold on the ceiling, there would be no sign of abandonment.

The second floor is a bathing place, with 30 shower heads and two baths. There is also a row of eight faucets on one wall, about half a meter above the ground, which can only be used by squatting or sitting, and it is not known what they are used for. Above each faucet there is an oval mirror, without a frame, all glued to the wall, except for the innermost one.

That mirror has frames, red frames.

Jiang Jinjiu's eyes were attracted by it for the first time, and he came to the mirror to watch.

The style of the frame is retro, and it looks like a dressing mirror for the aristocratic daughter in a costume drama. The wooden frame is about three fingers wide, and the top is embossed with two budding lotus flowers, the middle part outlines the water pattern, and the bottom is carved with lotus leaves, and the workmanship is very exquisite.

"This ...... How does this look familiar? Jiang Jinjiu pondered, and couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

Qin Xuan walked to the side of the bath, saw him in front of the mirror in a daze, and shouted, "Hey! What do you stink there? ”

Jiang Jinjiu didn't respond, he looked at himself in the mirror, and felt more and more weird. The mirror is located where the sun does not shine in direct sunlight, and the light is dimmer than the rest of the place. Standing here, there is a feeling of being shaded. Looking at himself for a while, he will feel that the mirrored gaze is becoming more and more cold, unfamiliar, and even full of cunning and scheming, which makes him inexplicably flustered.

"It's a familiar feeling...... Remembered! This mirror is the same as the one in the haunted house I first entered. He looked carefully at the pattern of the frame, "That's right, it's exactly the same!" ”

Suddenly, Qin Xuan slapped him from behind, "You didn't hear it!" ”

Jiang Jinjiu's panic turned into palpitations, and he was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Qin Xuan smiled, "Coward, didn't I just shoot you." ”

Jiang Jinjiu gasped and said, "No, look at it, look at this mirror." ”

"What's wrong? Questions? ”

"Do you remember, in the haunted house, in the toilet, in the mirror?"

"Which one?"

"It's to kill his wife, then divide the body, and hang himself."

"Oh, that house...... I haven't been to the toilet before, and the smell is horrible. Why, you mean the mirror of that house came here? ”

"Look."

"Are you sure?"

Jiang Jinjiu suddenly didn't dare to be completely sure, took off the mirror and looked at the back, but there was only a dark brown wooden board.

"This ...... There's nothing on the back. ”

"Ahem, then you're thinking too much, it just happens to be the same."

Jiang Jinjiu was puzzled, "Then why do you feel the same way?" ”

"Even if it's not the same mirror, don't you think it's weird?" The other mirrors don't have frames, but this side of the corner does. ”

"You don't understand this, the older generation has a lot of superstitions about the placement of mirrors. You see that this mirror is in the corner, it can't get sunlight all day long, and in the bathroom with such a lot of humidity, it will cause the yin to invade the wall and affect the feng shui. It's like mold. But with the addition of a wooden frame, it is different, which is equivalent to separating the mirror from the wall. So it's better to be abrupt than taboo, understand. ”

Jiang Jinjiu nodded, but his heart was still full of doubts.

"Leave it alone, follow me, there's a discovery over there."

Jiang Jinjiu put the mirror back in place and followed Qin Xuan to the bath.
