Chapter 1: No Escape

"You can't escape!"

"It's your fate!"

Han Qiu ran desperately, but she couldn't run out, no matter how she ran, she was still in the yard.

"Han Qiu!" A deep voice rang out.

Han Qiu suddenly opened his eyes, gasped for breath, as if he had been chased for thousands of miles, raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, got up and entered the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and the water was flowing, but a thunderous voice sounded in Han Qiu's mind, Han Qiu lowered his head and washed his face, took a towel and wiped it, suddenly looked up, and vaguely saw the black shadow in the mirror, Han Qiu didn't dare to look back, he always felt that it was slowly approaching him, Han Qiu's hand was holding the towel tightly.

"Meow..."The cat's voice sounded outside the window.

Han Qiu opened the window and glanced back at the mirror, it turned out to be a big tree outside, the reflection through the window was in the mirror, and when the wind was blowing outside, the leaves were shaking.

The mobile phone vibrated on the table, pulling Han Qiu back to reality, Han Qiu lifted the quilt, got up and got out of bed, took the mobile phone on the table and took a look, the caller ID was his father's phone, Han Qiu picked up the phone and put it on hands-free.

"Dad! It's so early! ”

"Autumn, your grandfather is gone..."

"It's gone!" Han Qiu was a little shocked, and the appearance of his grandfather appeared in his mind, a thin man who didn't talk much.

"Autumn, come back!"

"I..." Han Qiu's words came to her lips and couldn't speak, she didn't go back, she didn't want to go back to that courtyard, that courtyard made her breathless, but before Han Qiu could find a suitable reason to refuse, her father's words made Han Qiu decide to go back.

"Your grandfather, he might... It's gone..."

"I... I asked my homeroom teacher for leave and went back. ”

After hanging up the phone, Han Qiu sat at the head of the bed, and the memories in his mind emerged, the thin old man appeared in Han Qiu's memory, he loved Han Qiu very much, but he didn't want Han Qiu to leave the yard, even if he took a single step.

"Autumn baby."

Grandpa shouted Han Qiu's name as usual, and Han Qiu hated it because she thought it was like a boy's name, and she didn't like it.

"I'm hiding here again."

Grandpa held up the fence, Han Qiu looked up at grandpa, grandpa stretched out his hand, Han Qiu got up and pushed grandpa's hand, and walked out directly.

"It's not fun!"

"Then next time you change places."

"Change places, I'm afraid you won't find me!" Han Qiu said angrily.

"As long as you don't leave the yard, where Qiu Wa'er is, grandpa can find it."

Han Qiu pursed his lips, grandpa saw this, rummaged through his pockets, took out a lollipop, walked up to Han Qiu, removed the icing of the lollipop, and handed it to Han Qiu, Han Qiu stuffed it directly in his mouth, the side of his mouth was bulging, and grandpa reached out and touched Han Qiu's head.

"It's going to rain, let's go back to our room!"

"Rain?!" Han Qiu looked up at the sky, how could it rain with such a big sun, Han Qiu pouted again, anyway, it was already strange, after all, grandpa often said some inexplicable things.

As soon as Han Qiu returned to the room, he suddenly heard a sound from the roof, looked up, there were faint cracks on the wall, Han Qiu thought he was dazzled, and quickly rubbed his eyes, but there was nothing, Han Qiu ran out of his legs, ready to tell his grandfather about it, and then saw a black figure jumping down from the roof, and then ran upstairs and quickly entered the room.

"He... He..."

Han Qiu stretched out his finger and pointed, a little stunned, it took a long time to come back to his senses, Han Qiu actually thought it was funny, looked up at the room on the second floor, it seemed that she had other ideas.

Han Qiu quietly climbed up the steps, his grandfather's room was on the second floor by the window, and there was a step outside, on which were placed a few pots of flowers, but he had never seen them bloom.

Han Qiu poked his head out, pushed the window little by little, and leaned sideways towards the window, so that he could clearly hear the sound in the room.

"Didn't you say don't show up easily?!"

"The master is angry!"

"Did you find the right person?!"

"The subordinates are incompetent!"

"Rubbish!"

The voice was not very loud, but Han Qiu heard it very clearly, driven by curiosity, wanting to see what this person looked like, Han Qiu turned sideways to look, moved his feet, held the window with his hand, slowly got up, and saw the two people in the room through the gap, I didn't know if I didn't see it, I was startled when I saw it, Han Qiu was excited, his feet slipped, and he fell down directly, and at the same time, the flower pot also fell.

"Qiuqiu!" That mysterious voice sounded in his ears again, pulling Han Qiu back to reality.

Han Qiu came back to her senses, this so-called memory has been lingering in her mind, and there are many things that linger, Han Qiu was almost 12 years old at that time, but she hadn't had a 12th birthday yet, since she woke up, everything has changed, such as the flowers in her grandfather's pot suddenly bloomed, and she could hear the sounds coming from the yard, and saw some strange things, Han Qiu told her grandfather these things, and grandpa just said that she was injured and had not recovered, but gradually Han Qiu found that it was not only some strange things, And some weird people, no! They may not be human.

At first, Han Qiu simply thought that after her 12th birthday, she would not see those dirty things, and she also overheard the goddess at the entrance of the village talking about that children under the age of 12, whether they are boys or girls, are easy to see dirty things, which is why when it gets dark, grandpa doesn't let her out of the yard, or even the room.

But something happened after that made Han Qiu want to leave here and leave the yard, in order to leave, Han Qiu began to go on a hunger strike, and every time his grandfather approached Han Qiu, Han Qiu would scream loudly.

Han's father couldn't resist Han Qiu, so he could only send Han Qiu to the city to go to junior high school, and on the day he left, Han Qiu didn't dare to look at his grandfather, and he didn't say a word until the moment he stepped out of the yard.

The reason why Han Qiu wanted to leave was because she saw something one day, she was originally going to look for her grandfather, but no one answered when she knocked on the door, so she pushed the door and entered the room, and when she saw the yellowed notebook on the desk, she couldn't help but open it, and when she saw the first page, she was so frightened by the image on it that she couldn't do it, Han Qiu didn't have time to close the notebook, so she ran out.

Han Qiu, who returned to the room, hid in the quilt and shivered, originally thinking that he would forget about it in two days, but since then, Han Qiu would go to his grandfather's room every afternoon hour, as if he was attracted by the notebook.

Han Qiu gradually developed a strong interest in the notebook, and was no longer afraid of the patterns on it, because he couldn't stay in his grandfather's room for too long, so he couldn't read it every time, and finally Han Qiu decided to quietly bring it back to the room.

It was this time that Han Qiu discovered his grandfather's secret and discovered the secret in the yard.
