Volume 1 ᅠ The Back of the First Entry into the World Chapter 4 Five Posthumous Portraits Hanging on the Wall

It seemed that Zhou Weimin agreed to unload the goods alone, and the old lady's wrinkled face showed some smiles, and then slowly pushed the door outward.

At this time, Zhou Weimin realized that the door was actually open to the outside.

According to my grandmother, in Feng Shui, the door of a general detached family is open inward, which is the meaning of accepting new wind and the meaning of wealth and blessing. Later, when Zhou Weimin was studying, he found the answer from the perspective of modern science.

In fact, it is just the wall that blocks the direction of the natural wind, and if the door is open outward, sometimes the wind is strong and the resistance is too great, and the door is not easy to push open and close. Second, the door opens outward, and if there is a strong wind or other situation, the door hits the outer wall, and both will be damaged.

But this is also someone else's business, don't worry about it, Zhou Weimin shook his head secretly, but his hands and feet were not slow, he picked two couplets that were quite light, and walked towards the gate with one in one hand.

Walking into the door, the whole person seemed to be wrapped in this red mist, and after looking at it carefully, Zhou Weimin breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that there was a wall about ten meters deep in front of the door, and there were several braziers burning paper money about two meters from the foot of the wall. I don't know how long the paper money was burned, but the door was always closed, and the accumulated smoke did not disperse, but it was all piled up in the house.

There was a red light faintly lit in the middle of the ceiling overhead, and the green smoke from the burning of paper money was illuminated by the red light, so it seemed so strange.

After a closer look, there was a whole row of half-human-high piles of paper money next to the foot of the wall.

It's pious enough, Zhou Weimin thought to herself, and then looked around, hazy, but she didn't know where to put the couplet in her hand.

Turning around, the old lady was still standing at the door looking at herself, and Zhou Weimin had no choice but to ask loudly, "Old lady, where do I pile things first?" ”

The old lady stretched out her right hand and pointed to the empty space on the right hand side of the gate, signaling that it could be piled up there first.

nodded, Zhou Weimin didn't say much, and immediately moved back and forth.

This move, another half an hour, the last one was moved, Zhou Weimin took out his mobile phone and looked at it, it was almost eight o'clock, the sky outside was so dark that he couldn't see anything, only a few stars hung in the sky.

Zhou Weimin, who was originally walking out, stood in place and thought about it, then turned around and walked towards the braziers that still had embers.

'Or help the old woman to measure, in case the size is not accurate, then it will be troublesome to rework. ’

Because the left side of the wall is a staircase leading to the second floor, Zhou Weimin stood directly facing the pile of paper money, then spread his arms, stuck the tips of his left fingers on the edge of the corner of the wall, and slowly walked to the right, and when his left hand was fully expanded, the upper body of the whole person leaned forward and stuck to the wall, and then his right hand leaned out.

His height is one meter eight, his arm span is almost one to one with his height, his thumb and middle finger are twenty centimeters, three meters, that is, the limit of his arm span plus six spans of his fingers, if the difference is not big, then the customized size should be no problem.

While thinking, the tip of the middle finger of his right hand was firmly pressed, and his body walked towards the right side against the wall, and walked to the middle of the wall, through the smoke, he vaguely saw several portraits hanging above his head, and his eyes hurriedly crossed, but his footsteps suddenly stopped, the whole heart was beating wildly, and a layer of white sweat appeared on the vest.

There are five portraits, three old men, two old women, and the one in the middle is not what the old woman looks like?

'I'm going?' Are you kidding me? ’

Zhou Weimin raised his head and carefully looked at the half-length portrait, because the eyelids drooped, the eyes became triangular eyes, age spots on the cheeks, and even the clothes on the upper body were exactly the same as the portrait.

'What the hell!? This is not scientific! How could someone hang a picture of themselves on the wall! ’

If it weren't for the fact that he graduated from an undergraduate degree, Zhou Weimin would definitely think that he had seen a ghost at this moment.

This old woman is a little abnormal, forget it, let's go first, the goods are unloaded, and the balance is not needed. ’

Zhou Weimin thought for a while, then took a few deep breaths, then calmed his heartbeat, and then turned around and was about to walk towards the gate.

But the moment he turned back, Zhou Weimin swore that he had always thought that it was an exaggeration to be scared to pee his pants, but now he really felt that it was about to become his true description.

The old woman walked in at some point, and stood quietly behind him, turning sharply, and the distance between the two men was almost an arm's width.

took two steps back at the moment, and even almost stepped on a brazier behind him, the back of the whole person was pressed against the wall, and the cold touch hit instantly, making Zhou Weimin's scalp tighten.

"Old lady, I... It's done... Then I'll go first..."

Zhou Weimin swallowed his saliva, and even his voice was a little trembling, and he took a step sideways, trying to bypass the old woman.

The old woman moved faster, took a step sideways, stopped directly in front of Zhou Weimin, raised the mobile phone in her hand, and shook it towards Zhou Weimin, probably meaning to signal him to look at the phone.

Zhou Weimin was slightly stunned, his mobile phone didn't ring, when did he send a text message to himself, the road was blocked, so he could only stand in place, took out his mobile phone and clicked on the mailbox.

"It's getting late, do you want to have a meal before leaving?"

'Nervous is going to stay and eat, and I'm shocked...'

He thought to himself, but his mouth replied, "Old lady... Thank you... It's just that it's too late, and I have to drive back for more than an hour or two... So..."

Before she could finish speaking, the old woman sent another text message.

"I know your grandmother very well, you are her grandson, I should keep you for a meal."

mentioned his grandmother, Zhou Weimin couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart, and just about to speak, suddenly there was a faint sound from the top of his head, which startled him.

The voice rang eight times in a row, echoing through the two-story house. If you listen closely, the movement is a bit like that of an old grandfather clock, which starts to ring on time, and it rings a few times at what time.

Frightened by this successive movements, Zhou Weimin completely lost interest in staying for a long time, shook his head, and walked out while talking.

"No, old lady, I understand your wishes, I have to go back to my grandmother's vigil..."

As soon as he walked to the door, suddenly there seemed to be a cold wind blowing, and a pair of invisible hands closed the door that was open to the outside of the house, isolating the inside and outside of the house, and locked Zhou Weimin in the house.

The doors slammed together hard, making a heavy crashing sound, and even a gust of wind rolled up, and the cold wind hit Zhou Weimin's face, and he was stunned.

Turning around suddenly, Zhou Weimin looked back, and the old woman stood behind him like a ghost, no more, no less, and an arm's width away.

"The old lady... This door... How did you close it yourself? ”

Swallowing his saliva fiercely, Zhou Weimin asked in a panic.

The old lady tilted her head, tapped her mobile phone with her hands like a flower, and quickly sent a text message to Zhou Weimin.

His hands trembled uncontrollably, Zhou Weimin swallowed his saliva again, he swore that he would swallow saliva more times than he did in a day.

I saw another string of words on the phone to keep eating.

"I really don't need to... Old lady, I'm rushing home..."

Zhou Weimin took a step back without a trace, holding the mobile phone in his left hand, and silently stretched out his right hand behind him, he made up his mind, as long as he touched the door lock, he pulled it open and ran immediately.

It seemed that she was rejected again, and the old woman looked a little angry, she frowned, and stopped texting, just beckoned to Zhou Weimin, and then walked to a small room to the left of the door.

Watching the old woman slowly walk into the room, Zhou Weimin took a deep breath, turned around suddenly, and saw the handle of the door in the smoke, and then stretched out her hand without hesitation, held the handle, and was about to open the door.

Before I could exert myself, I felt a chill on the doorknob, as if I was holding a piece of dry ice, not only could I not twist it at all, but even the palm of my hand was frozen to a little tingling, and then the stinging pain became more and more obvious, and the whole right hand was a little numb.

He quickly let go of his hand, and before he could look down to check, he saw the old woman standing at the door of the small room, looking at him without blinking.

The two looked at each other, Zhou Weimin endured the pain, quietly hid her hand behind her, and saw the old woman waving to her again.

'What the hell! ’

Maybe the stinging pain just now angered Zhou Weimin, he squeezed his right hand, and even clenched it into a fist, and then said loudly: "Old lady, please open the door, I really want to go back." ”

The old woman still didn't speak, just kept waving to Zhou Weimin.

'Let's see what to do!' ’

The door couldn't be opened by himself, and he didn't know if there was any mechanism installed, so Zhou Weimin could only walk towards the small house.

Seeing him coming, the old woman nodded, turned around, and went back to the little house.

A few steps followed, this small house looks like a kitchen, the right side of the door can faintly see the stove, kitchenware, from the door I came in just over a meter away from a simple wooden table, and four stools.

The old woman stood at the window to the left of the entrance, looking fixedly out.

After hesitating, Zhou Weimin didn't speak, walked over, and looked out the window.

The window made of frosted glass, everything in the line of sight seemed slightly distorted, but everything seen through the window made Zhou Weimin wonder if there was something wrong with his eyes.

'This... What's going on!? ’

Outside the window, the deserted village was gone, and what greeted me was a village full of fireworks.
