Chapter 25: Face Prints
"I was so frightened that I covered my mouth, and my husband just buckled the top of the bed back, and he didn't even reset the mattress, and he told me to go to the hall, and then he closed the door of the house.
When I saw that it was almost four o'clock, my husband and I were afraid to speak, on the one hand, for fear of waking up the children, and on the other hand, we were afraid that there would be something unclean in the big house.
So we sat on the couch until dawn, and then my husband asked me for the landlord's phone number and went straight out.
As soon as he left, my son came out of the room, I saw the time to make breakfast for the child first, just about to get up, my son may feel that the atmosphere is a little wrong, so he asked me what I was doing, I casually said nothing, we have to check out, don't live here.
As soon as I said this, my son immediately sat next to me, looking a little happy. Then he told me that he had been trying to tell me something for the past few days, but he didn't dare to say it, for fear that I would get angry and scold him.
I asked him what he was going to say.
My son told me that what he said was a bit scary, and that I believe it or not, don't scold him.
I was already upset, and I was a little impatient to ask him to do it simply.
My son lowered his voice and said that their classmates knew that he lived in this community, and he inadvertently said the next building number and unit door, and then one of their classmates was surprised and asked him if he was the one on the right hand side of the sixth floor.
My son said yes, and the classmate said that his uncle's family had rented this house before, but they moved out after renting it for a month, and then something happened to them.
My son was very strange and asked why he moved away, what happened?
The classmate said that his uncle's family had run into an evil in this house, and he didn't say what happened, but his brother was so frightened that he was in a trance.
Later, his uncle's family moved out. Just a few days after moving out, his brother said 'damn it' to the mirror at the door when he was about to go out one morning, his aunt was stunned, but she didn't pay much attention to it, but his brother stood on the side of the road at noon and waited for the red light, and a car on the other side of the road flew over and shot his brother to death.
Anyway, their family said that this matter was particularly evil, and it had something to do with the house they lived in.
After hearing this, my son was very scared when he thought of the dream and the strange things that happened a few days ago, and then he didn't want to stop in front of me, and then he didn't dare to tell me about it because I didn't pout.
Now that he saw that I was going to move, he dared to say it.
I was slap in the face, but more of a slap in the face, but more of a gas.
I thought to myself, regardless of whether my son's classmates made it up blindly or not, there are handprints and shrouds in the bed, and there is still that movement, there is something wrong with this house.
But such an evil house, can the owner not know? I just want to see how the owner of the house, surnamed Gu, comes over and explains.
I finished making breakfast for the kid and he went to school as well, when my husband came back.
He said he had called the owner and that he would be coming in a moment, but he didn't tell the owner what was going on.
In the meantime, my husband inquired at the commissary downstairs about what had happened to the house before.
The owner of the commissary only said that there had been no murder, and he couldn't inquire about anything else.
My husband said that since it is not a murderous house, will the shroud be forgotten by the last renter, or the old man of the owner's family, but I don't think this kind of thing can fall, so I said that what happened to the handprints and movements? My husband stopped squeaking.
After a while, the doorbell rang and the owner came.
As soon as he entered, he first glanced at the two of us, and then glanced into the big house, and I was more sure that this man knew what was going on, and that he should have guessed that we wanted to check out.
I didn't say anything, and went straight to the big bedroom, and when he entered, he saw that the mattress was standing on one side, and half of the bed board was not secure, and his face was directly stretched.
I thought to myself, I haven't questioned him yet, so I'm going to preemptively strike?
Sure enough, the owner of the house showed his fierce face and asked me why he had made his bed like this, and the furniture had moved, referring to the writing desk.
I didn't seem to be too angry, I said that if I don't move these furniture, how can I let you see the contents of the bed! You need to explain why you have a set of shrouds in this bed at home, do you want to disgust us?
The landlord surnamed Gu is really not a vegetarian, Pi Xiaorou said that he didn't know that there was this thing in the bed, it may have been put by the previous tenant, and it had nothing to do with him.
I said that the previous tenant was crazy and put a shroud in his bed?
People are just like hob meat, and they don't admit that he put this shroud.
Then it occurred to me that this could not be some kind of trick used by this person, specifically to scare the tenant, force the tenant to leave in half, and not pay the check-out rent, so as to make this kind of money.
As soon as I thought of this, I had an impulse in my head, and I said that the family I rented before was not a family of three, and I moved out after only renting for a month.
The landlord laughed again and said that I had been very careful about the rent for check-out.
I couldn't help but say to him, those three people just moved away when something strange happened, did you deliberately set up a trap, or is there really something wrong with this house, anyway, the son of the previous family died not long after they moved out. Don't you know if there's anything wrong with this house?
After I said this, I saw that the face of the surname Gu suddenly changed, and I was sure that this was not what he pretended.
Then I said, come and see for yourself, it's not just the shroud, there's something else in it.
I asked my family to take off the bed board, and the owner surnamed Gu seemed to be a little jealous, so he didn't move the place at all.
I got angry all of a sudden, and it was obvious that he knew everything.
I went on to say that we were sleeping in the middle of the night, and there was a knocking sound from inside the bed, and we just opened the bed to see, and there were handprints in it, so who pressed it, was it you?
This surnamed Gu's face turned pale all of a sudden, it was really not an exaggeration at all, and the momentum at the beginning was gone.
I went on to say that I had a nightmare about a man squatting next to the bed and mopping the floor ......, and before I could finish it, the landlord waved his hand to stop me and told me to stop talking.
He walked back into the hall and motioned for us to come out too. Then his tone softened, and he said that I won't quarrel with you anymore, you can move if you want, but you can only refund half a year's rent.
I originally thought that it was too much to refund the rent for half a year, and there was a problem with his house, but after thinking about it, I had already signed a contract, and it was good to be able to refund it for half a year.
So we didn't say anything more, but he was happy and went to the bank with my husband to withdraw money for settlement, and I started to pack my things.
I didn't dare to go into the big bedroom alone, so I packed up other things, and after a while, my house came back.
He said that the money had been paid to the account, and he also went to the school to inform his son to come home at noon, and then he asked me if I would rent a new house or how.
In fact, I thought about it in the early hours of the morning, and renting a house is a bit shady, and it is not easy to rent, so I thought of another way, or live in my own house insurance, and then I chartered a yellow van to take my son to and from school, and the cost of calculating it is hundreds cheaper than renting a house here.
I told my husband about the idea, and he agreed.
We went to the big bedroom together, put the mattress back in place, and put our things away.
My husband told me that the owner told us to put the bed back in place, just reset the furniture, and never touch the things inside.
My husband was curious at the time, and handed the owner a few cigarettes, so he asked the owner if he was anything particular. ”
"Smack~" After the second tape was broadcast on side A, Qin Ding skillfully changed it to side B.
"You go on."
"My husband asked him why he couldn't touch those things and how good he was to throw them. The owner said that it was unlucky, and he would deal with it later. My husband asked again what was going on with that set of shrouds.
The owner of the house said that in fact, he didn't know very well, maybe his father had already made it and put it inside, and he didn't tell him, and then the old man died relatively suddenly, and he didn't explain anything, so he didn't know that there was a shroud.
My husband kindly reminded him, saying that we really didn't mean to find trouble and didn't want to rent this house, saying that in the middle of the night last year, there was really a sound in the bed, which was particularly scary, and asked him how to explain those handprints.
When the landlord heard this, he fell silent and said to my husband that the sound must have come from downstairs, right on the bed, so it sounded like it was coming from the bed.
In the past, when they lived there, the downstairs probably thought that his father used crutches to walk, so he often took something to the top of the building, and the handprint should have been made by his father when he went in to put things in.
Although the landlord can explain this, my husband thinks that things are not so simple, there should be something else in this, otherwise the landlord would not suddenly agree to quit the rent.
I don't think it's that simple, but fortunately, we don't live here, and we don't have anything to do with it, so there's no need to find out what's going on.
We didn't have much stuff and it didn't take long to pack it up. My husband and I worked together to move the desk back into place, and it was at this time that I suddenly noticed that the stain on the floor had become much larger, the size of a palm, and there was a faint outline.
I asked my husband to come and take a look, and I said that the stain was the size of a walnut a few days ago, and now it is bigger than a palm.
I saw that he had a little panic on his face, and I was nervous inexplicably, but my husband didn't say much, and moved his packed things into the hall a few times, telling me to get out of here quickly.
I didn't dare to ask any more, I couldn't delay the time, so we quickly moved our things to the car and went home.
On the way, I asked him what was wrong, he didn't want to say, he was afraid that I was afraid, I was in a hurry, so he had to say, he couldn't help it, said the outline of the stain...... It looks like a human face.
To be honest, it's impossible not to be afraid, I was thinking about it all the way, but in the end I figured it out, and I moved away anyway, and the matter turned over.
Alas~! What a naivety, I thought it would be okay to move away, but it turned out to be a real nightmare...... Just started.
At first, the first few days we moved back were normal, and I almost forgot all the horrible things, and we were actually in our own house on the night my husband was about to leave the car...... Something strange happened again.
That night, while we were both sleeping soundly, I suddenly heard a muffled thud and I woke up.
The sound was the same as the one heard in the house before, like someone holding a stick to the floor or knocking on the door.
My mind was so frightened that I thought I had misheard, and just then the voice came again, and I was pretty sure it came from the bed under me.
I quickly woke my husband awake, and he asked me sleepily what was wrong, and I said listen, why did that voice follow.
My husband also woke up all of a sudden, turned on the light, and listened with his ears pricked up, and at this time, the knock sound rang again, and my husband was also frightened.
It was only then that we realized that something had come with us from the house. ”
