Xu Hongcai didn't have much sense of crisis, and his sense of fear was not too serious.

That "Old Lady Shi" has already taken the opportunity to sneak into 202, and no matter what happens, it has little to do with him.

Xu Hongcai also figured out what the whole thing had happened.

There was no doubt that the old woman could not enter the door casually. She had to knock on the door, someone had to open it for her, maybe someone had to invite her in before she could get in.

In addition, she could only sneak in while the door was open in the absence of her master's house.

This matter is very much in line with Xu Hongcai's cognition.

Or rather, his "common sense".

When he was a child, his parents often taught him not to open the door to strangers, and when he was a child, his grandparents used some weird stories to scare him as a child. The deepest impression is that "if you don't go home after dark, you will be caught by a ghost". When the story comes out of the parents, it becomes "If you don't come home at night, you will be caught by the bad guys".

Xu Hongcai always thought that those were just stories, but when he really encountered them, he was not too shocked.

He closed his eyes and thought wildly, and gradually fell asleep.

Suddenly, there was a roar of scolding, screaming, and the sound of something toppling over next door.

Xu Hongcai woke up and stared at the bedroom door without blinking.

After he came out with the quilt in his arms, he closed the bedroom door.

Through the wall, through the door, he could still hear the movement. The three young people next door were full of energy, and the quarrel was loud enough.

After a moment of silence, expletives began to erupt, and all sorts of foul language erupted, and angry footsteps followed.

There was silence for a while, and the footsteps sounded again.

Xu Hong heard a knock on the door.

His heart was pounding, and all the fear he hadn't felt before came out.

“203！ 203's! ”

"What's it called......

"When the police asked before, were they called Xu and Xu Hongcai?"

"Xu Hongcai!"

Xu Hongcai didn't dare to agree at all.

It's also part of his common sense.

What's more, when the police came before, something happened upstairs, and he heard the shouts of the person upstairs clearly.

That old woman can become a policeman, and she can become something else.

"201!" The young men knocked on 201's door again.

They scolded and scolded, very irritable, and in the irritable scolding, there was also a taste of fear and panic.

"Call the police." There is a personal offer.

Voices continued to be heard outside.

Xu Hongcai was still lying on the sofa, only looking up at the door with difficulty.

Smack. Smack.

Xu Hongcai heard a strange sound.

The conversation outside faded into the sound of hurried footsteps, and there was movement next door, as if someone was dropping something. The curses resumed.

"Grass mud horses! Get out! Dead old woman! Get the out of here! A young man yelled.

After that, all the voices were quiet, and they seemed to be done, and they were ready to rest.

Xu Hongcai worked overtime for almost three full days, and he was in high spirits at this time, but his body was really unbearable. Even if he had slept in the company's simple bed for a few hours in the past three days, he couldn't hold it anymore.

His eyelids began to fight, his raised neck loosened, and his head slammed into the arm of the couch.

He held his head up, his eyelids drooping from time to time, and then opening them suddenly.

Suddenly, he saw something.

Outside the balcony, you can see a part of the deep blue sky from the residential building opposite.

There were clothes hanging on the balcony, which he hung there last week and never came back.

The balcony window was closed, but the heavy winter coat was shaking.

The clothes swayed, revealing a face.

Xu Hongcai's sleepiness suddenly disappeared.

He broke out in a cold sweat and stared nervously at the face.

The gray-white eyes on the face were staring into the room.

She didn't seem to notice Xu Hongcai, but just observed the furnishings in the house through the window.

As if she had made a decision, she knocked on the glass window with her yellowed nails.

Xu Hongcai's throat was blocked, blocked by his own heart.

His pounding heart seemed to pop out of his mouth at any moment.

He hurriedly suppressed the feeling, but he couldn't help but start trembling.

Fortunately, he remembered what had happened before, and he remembered his previous conjectures.

"...... Get out, get out of here! Xu Hong only yelled twice, and only after the last one did he shout out.

The face outside the window turned to him, as if unwilling to leave, still scratching the glass window with his fingernails.

Xu Hongcai turned over, used all his strength, and shouted, "Get out!" ”

The old woman screamed, as if she had been struck by something, withdrew her hand, and fell from the window.

Beads of sweat rolled down Xu Hongcai's forehead.

Knock knock.

There was another knock on the door.

"Hey, 203's, isn't there ...... in your room?"

"Did the old woman run away from you?"

The three young men asked aggressively, speaking recklessly, and their nervousness could be heard in their tones.

Xu Hongcai didn't answer, just leaned on the sofa, and his whole body was out of strength.

I didn't expect him to encounter this kind of thing again in his life.

However, as long as that thing can't get into the house, it's not dangerous, right?

Like an obnoxious neighbor who always makes noise to harass you, but it is impossible to kill you......

Xu Hong suddenly remembered the words of the police.

Not necessarily......

She can do anything about pushing people downstairs......

Xu Hongcai swallowed his saliva and looked at the window.

The old woman had just fallen.

Will it fall to its death?

Xu Hongcai thought so, moved in small steps, and approached the balcony.

He was mentally prepared, afraid that he would take a closer look and see that terrifying face.

Fortunately, he didn't see any face, and the old woman didn't hide under the window.

Xu Hongcai stared at the road downstairs.

If you look down from the second floor, you can see it clearly.

The old woman, draped in rags, lay on the ground, as if she had been injured a lot.

She tried to get up, but she didn't know if it was a broken bone or if she was so weird herself, she stretched her limbs like a spider, slowly propping herself up, and after staggering to her feet, her body was still shaking.

She turned her head, but didn't look upstairs.

Xu Hongcai followed her line of sight and saw an old man walking forward with his hands behind his back at an intersection.

Seeing the old man swaying around the community at this point in time made Xu Hongcai have a lot of conjectures.

He didn't know the old man, and he didn't suspect the other man's identity.

He thought very "realistically" that this old man might be as the news said, he was still eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling and smoking when he was old, and he was walking alone in the community at night.

He only guessed so, and had no intention of reminding the old man out loud.

He withdrew his gaze and looked under the window again, and saw that the old woman's figure was gone.

Be...... Did you go to someone else?

Xu Hongcai hesitated, not knowing whether to go to sleep directly.

If the old woman came out again, and he was frightened to wake up again, it would not be pleasant.

Knock knock.

"Mr. Xu, we are policemen." There was another knock at the door.

"We just knocked on the door, and he won't open it."

"The old woman must have fled to his house, he just shouted, and we all heard it."

"How did she get there? Climbing the balcony? ”

"She's a ghost, what kind of balcony is she climbing?"

The three young people were gossiping, and there were quite a lot of questions.

The two policemen coughed, not believing this absurd statement.

It is impossible for Xu Hongcai to pretend to be dead this time.

He went to the door and looked out through the cat's eye.

The two policemen and the three young men were there outside the door, and the policemen were the two who had been there before.

Xu Hongcai hesitated for a while, but still opened the door.

None of the five people outside the door became the old woman.

Xu Hongcai immediately thought of the old man he had just seen.

When the police asked about what happened, he didn't say anything about the old man, only that he saw a face outside the window and saw the old woman fall.

If you fall down on the second floor, if the landing posture is not too bad, the young man will probably be fine, but it will be miserable if you change to the old man.

The two policemen didn't bother to think about how an old lady could climb from the enclosed balcony of one house to the enclosed balcony of another, and went downstairs to check the situation.

"Did you just see her sneak into our house?" The three young men didn't follow to see the excitement this time.

Xu Hongcai didn't answer this question, and only guarded the door of his house.

"Fuck it. You're not a thing! I don't want to remind you when I see it! A young man said angrily.

Xu Hongcai then spoke: "I didn't see anything. ”

By this time, the police had already run back.

"Mr. Xu, did you really see someone fall?" One of the officers asked.

"I saw she was gone." Xu Hongcai changed his words.

"Can we take a look at your balcony?"

Xu Hongcai did not agree immediately.

He looked at the two policemen, but he couldn't tell the real from the fake.

It should be fine, right?

He couldn't refuse the police's request and had to get out of the way.

The three young men were to follow suit, and remember to close the door of their house before entering.

Xu Hongcai didn't stop them.

As soon as several big men entered the house, Xu Hongcai hurriedly closed the door.

Everyone gathered on the balcony to look down, and naturally they didn't see anything.

Xu Hongcai was very tired, and at this time he made his request. He wanted to rest so much.

There was no traceability, no one was found, and no body was found, so the police could only return again in vain.

The house became quiet again, and only Xu Hongcai remained.

He lay back on the couch and covered himself with the quilt.

After thinking about it, he got up and went to close the curtains on the balcony.

Falling on the sofa, Xu Hongcai immediately fell asleep.

He didn't sleep soundly, and he always dreamed of someone knocking on the door. He knew it was the old woman who knocked on the door. He also dreamed that the old woman appeared outside the door one moment and outside the window the other.

At the end of the dream, he saw the old woman follow the old man into another residential building, and then follow the people into the house.

Then he woke up.

When he woke up, it was only six o'clock.

There were already voices outside, people getting up and going out.

Next door 202 is quiet.

204 was still silent.

Xu Hongcai was in a daze until seven o'clock, and then he got up.

When washing, the water pipes are normal, and the electric lights are normal.

He figured he didn't have to let the landlord fix it.

He went out to work and bumped into three young men next door.

The three young men raised their noses and eyes at him, and each of them showed their contempt and anger, intending to let Xu Hong see it.

Xu Hongcai didn't mind.

He only stayed in the city for a year, and half a year to be exact, he would be able to return to his hometown. He didn't care about anything here.

It can't be said that I don't care at all.

work, he still cares.

Xu Hongcai followed the three of them downstairs.

Out of the residential building, the four people walked in the same direction and wanted to leave the community through the same door. But at this time, there is no need for four people to queue.

Xu Hongcai is still behind those three people, and he is even more behind than before.

So, the three of them stepped on something first.

"What's this?" The young man stepped aside, the soles of his shoes rubbing against the clean concrete floor.

Xu Hongcai lowered his head and saw dark red marks on the ground.

That...... It's like blood......

Xu Hongcai also saw a few gray hairs in it.

His body froze.
