Chapter 73: The Strange Great Room
"To be honest, the old mansion may have been uninhabited for a long time, and it is an old-fashioned building, and I really feel a little panicked when I go in alone.
I took my son with me, and I was still steady, anyway, there were only a few rooms, and I could clean it quickly.
When I got to the place, I went to clean up the smaller rooms first, and the big ones wanted to be cleaned up last.
I asked the child to wait for me in one of the cleaned rooms, and I went to clean up the other rooms.
There is not much furniture in these rooms, and there is almost no dust, so they are cleaned up quickly, and the only time that is delayed is that you need to go to the water room in the middle patio to fetch water.
I don't know if it's because of the age or what, but the water coming out of the faucet is very thin and slow.
That's it, I also cleaned the four rooms very quickly, and then I took my son to the big room. ”
"Smack~" The first tape was played.
"Okay, Ms. Song, you go on."
"There was no furniture in this large room, but there seemed to be something standing behind a few pillars in the middle, and I had only glanced at it hastily, but I didn't know what it was.
I didn't go up to look at it, so I thought I'd go in through the door and clean it first.
I asked my son to wait for me on the stone bench outside the door, and I picked up a broom and prepared to sweep the floor in the house, only to notice that the floor in this big room was actually different from the other rooms.
The floor of the other rooms is wooden, but this large room is actually the same kind of floor as the one in the courtyard outside the door, which is bluestone slabs, and the laying is almost identical.
This makes me feel very strange, because it is reasonable to lay this kind of bluestone slab outside, and it is not convenient to clean it up if it is laid in the house. The gap between the slate and the slab is so wide, and it is full of dirt and dirt, and it will not be cleaned.
Although I was puzzled, I thought that maybe I had guessed correctly, this room was used as a storeroom, so the floor was not so particular, maybe it would be more convenient to walk and not easy to slip.
I didn't think much about it, I just felt that this bluestone floor was a little difficult to clean up, but fortunately, the floor in the room was not so dirty.
I swept and swept with a broom, swept out a small pile of dirt, and before I knew it, I was swept into the middle of the house.
At this time, I noticed that there was something standing in the middle of the house, and it was actually a low tree.
At first, I thought it was a decoration or a work of art, but when I looked closely, I didn't think it looked like it.
This tree is quite thick, there is a person holding it so thick, it looks very special, very much like a willow tree without leaves.
Its branches were a little twisted upward, and there was a feeling of teeth and claws, but the branches were thin and had no leaves, but there were some fruits on the branches that had never been seen before.
I'm very strange, if this is a tree, it doesn't feel good to plant it in the house, because I've heard people say that not to mention planting trees in the house, even planting in the yard will also affect feng shui, as if it will form a 'sleepy' word, which will make the family poor.
But I thought about it again, if there was such a statement, then why would Miss Fang's family be so rich, so I still felt a little funny in my heart.
However, the planting of trees in the house still aroused my curiosity, not to mention the fact that there was a very large stone mortar in front of this tree.
This big house, except for the door and the window on one side, the rest of the place is a little dark, I don't know how this tree grows, the leaves are all gone, how can it still bear fruit.
So I got closer to see what kind of tree it was, but after looking at it for a long time, I thought it looked a bit like a willow tree, but a willow tree can't bear fruit, so I don't know what it is. ”
"Ms. Song, is it possible to plant it, this tree is fake."
"Actually, I still can't tell if the tree is real or not, but its bark branches don't look fake, and I can still see its roots on the ground, but the fruit on the branches is a little fake, because it's so round, it looks like a purple ping pong ball.
I didn't dare to touch this tree, because it was so strange, not to mention that there was such a big stone mortar under the tree, and the walls of this stone mortar were full of holes the thickness of fingers, and I didn't know what it was used for.
At that time, I looked at the time and it was not early, it was almost noon, so I had to clean up quickly and take the children home to cook.
So I suppressed my curiosity and continued to sweep the floor, but as I swept it, the pole of the fine broom I had brought with me broke.
Because the bluestone slab is too rough, it has great resistance to clean, and it is not easy to break with a rough broom.
As soon as I saw that I had half cleaned up, it was too difficult to go back and get the tools again, so I was confused.
So I planned to mop it again, but this kind of ground is not easy to wipe with a mop, and after a few wipes, the mop will be stained with the soil in the cracks of the floor, so I have to change the water and throw the cloth often.
The floor was finally wiped and I was in the water room for the last wave of shabu-shabu, but when I returned to the house, I found that my son was gone.
My son is very well-behaved, especially listens to me, I asked him to sit on the stone bench and not run around, why did he disappear.
This made me so anxious that I called him in the yard, I shouted and looked for him, no matter how much he ran around, he was in this backyard, because I didn't see him go out in the Zhongtianjing water room.
I shouted and shouted, and then I went into the big room, and I saw a man squatting in front of the strange tree in the middle.
I was shocked, and I hurried over there and found that it was my son.
I was so angry that I asked him how he was running around and complained about why he didn't agree.
My son got up from the ground, his hand was outstretched, and I didn't know what it was when I saw that there was a bunch of sticky stuff on it, and it was so stinky that I wanted to vomit when I smelled it.
I couldn't continue to ask him, so I just dragged him to the water room.
I asked him to rinse his hands and ask him what was going on.
My son said that he was sitting in the courtyard, and suddenly he heard a muffled sound of a drum or something coming from the big room, so he went in and looked at it with some curiosity, and found that there was a tree in the middle, and he walked over.
When he came to the tree, he found that the fruit of a tree had fallen from the ground.
The fruit was round and the color was very good, and he picked it up, and before he could see what it looked like, the fruit exploded in his hand, and it was all this smelly and sticky soup.
At this time, I happened to call him, and he was afraid that I would scold him, so he didn't dare to answer for a while.
I was really angry with my son, and he didn't take care of him, so he dared to pick up anything.
I didn't blame him, after all, he was young and well-behaved enough, so I taught him not to pick things up in the future.
After washing his hands, I asked him if he was uncomfortable, and the child said that he was not uncomfortable, so I was relieved.
Although there was nothing wrong with it, and I didn't think about it on any other level, there was still something strange in my heart.
On the one hand, I don't know what kind of tree the strange tree in the house is, and why the fruit is like that, and I am also a little worried that it will not be because the old house is in disrepair and the roof or column is broken, so there will be the muffled sound that the child said.
I suppressed a hint of uneasiness and decided to pack up my things and leave with my children. Anyway, I've already cleaned up, and although I was going to wipe the pillars that support the house again, I wasn't in the mood at that time.
In this way, we left the Fang family's old house, and when we went back, I called Miss Fang and said that it had been cleaned up, but Miss Fang's tone over there was a little hesitant, as if she was not sure that I had cleaned up.
I assured her, and Miss Fang hurriedly explained that she didn't mean that, but she didn't explain either, and then hung up the phone.
I feel a little awkward in my heart, in fact, there are still some places in the big house that have not been cleaned up, so I am still a little weak-hearted, but the money has already come, and if it is not so serious, I will clean up well, so I will no longer take this matter to heart.
But what I didn't expect was that that night, my son suddenly fell ill.
He fell asleep and began to vomit with a whoa.
I heard the movement and hurried to the child's house to see, he was already vomiting all over the floor, and the smell was so terrible.
In the middle of the night, I was still a little confused, I didn't see what the child vomited, I just cared about patting the child on the back, and wanted to get a basin for him to follow, at this time my husband also woke up, he came to take a look, and asked me what to eat for the child during the day, how to vomit is purple sticky.
As soon as my husband said it, I noticed that the child's vomit looked a little familiar.
I suddenly remembered that this was not the sticky substance after the fruit of the strange tree had fallen off, and when I smelled the stench of vomit again, it was exactly the same, and I was so scared that I wanted to vomit.
I thought that the unknown fruit was poisonous, and that the child must have been poisoned, so I briefly talked about it, and then my husband picked up the child and took him to the hospital.
After waiting for the emergency department of the hospital, after checking for a long time, the doctor said that it was fine, but it was just that I didn't eat it and caught a cold, not poisoning, so we were relieved.
The doctor said it was fine, but I couldn't figure out why the child vomited that kind of thing.
After a night of tossing and turning, the three of us came home and slept for a while, until someone knocked on the door and the two of us woke up.
When I opened the door, it was my mother. My mom didn't think we could afford what time it was, so I told me what happened that night.
When my mother heard this, she hurried over to see her grandson and found that the child was talking in his sleep. ”
"Smack~" tape went to the end, and Qin Ding changed the second disc into it.
"Rustling ......"
"A few of us listened to it for a long time and didn't know what he was talking about, and then my mother gently woke the child up.
My son woke up in a daze, his face was not very good, and he looked a little empty. My mom asked him what he was dreaming about, and he was uncomfortable.
My son said that he had just dreamed a terrible dream about that strange tree, that the strange tree had grown very tall all of a sudden, and that there were many people hanging on it.
When the child told me about this kind of dream, I felt terrible when I heard it, and my mother asked me what strange tree it was, so I briefly told her.
My mother also thought it was strange why she planted a tree in the house, saying that it was a bit evil, and it might have scared the child, so she would have this kind of fierce disease.
My mother asked me to take a kitchen knife and put it under the child's pillow, and she called the child Soul.
My mother also complained to me, thinking that I took the child to a strange place, saying that the child's Tianling cover did not grow well, and it was easy to see dirty things, and finally she also told me to let me take less of this kind of work in the future.
After my mother left, my son's mental state was much better, and he never threw up again, but he still talked in his sleep when he fell asleep, and when he woke up and asked him, he said that he couldn't remember.
After two or three days like this, what I didn't expect was that Miss Fang called again.
I was a little weak-hearted, thinking that Miss Fang had come back and was not very satisfied with me, or that she saw that the pillars were very dirty and found that I hadn't wiped them, but she told me that she wanted me to clean the old house again.
I was actually a little puzzled, those rooms had just been cleaned up, but I thought about it again, maybe she wanted me to clean up the other rooms, after all, there are more than 1,000 square meters, more than 20 rooms.
But what I didn't expect was that Miss Fang still asked me to continue to clean up the five rooms, and the honorarium became 3,000 yuan. ”
