When Qin Yu woke up from the dream, it was exactly half past two in the morning.

She rolled up the quilt and turned over, picked up the glasses that were placed in the corner of the table and put them on.

It's been half a month.

The newly moved residents in the empty building opposite would sing "babbling" in the middle of the night every day.

She hadn't slept peacefully in all this time.

The house they live in is from the hospital, and her mother is a doctor and her father is an ordinary worker. She also has a younger brother who is in high school.

Because her younger brother was about to enter his third year, she temporarily changed rooms with him.

Unexpectedly, the house opposite that had never been inhabited by anyone actually moved into a family half a month ago.

Strangely, the neighbors had never seen the new one.

It seems that this mysterious occupant will only come out at midnight to brush his "sense of existence".

Qin Yu sighed, got up from the bed physically and mentally exhausted, and opened the curtains in the room. At a glance, you can see the whole view of the duplex apartment building opposite.

In this dark night, the quiet and empty streets are filled with the melodious sound of opera, which can't help but make people feel particularly terrifying.

At this time, she suddenly found that there seemed to be several people standing in the hall on the second floor of the opposite building.

From her point of view, although she can't really see the specific situation clearly, the basic pattern is probably clear at a glance.

I saw those people standing in the four corners of the room, all of them stiffly bowing their heads, making it difficult to see their faces.

An old rickety figure stood in the middle of the room, staring sideways at her, seemingly holding a white candlestick.

Looking at this scene, Qin Yu's hairs stood on end.

Then, she saw the four people in the corner of the wall moving in turns, walking around the wall in circles and circles, as if they were playing some game.

"Games?" Qin Yu couldn't help but blurt out.

She recalls that in some of the extracurricular books she had read in the past, it seemed that such a game was mentioned - the Four Corners Game!

And the posture seen in front of you is obviously able to make people substitute for it.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu's whole body stiffened, and he didn't dare to move, and his hand that wanted to close the curtain was trembling at the moment.

Suddenly, the group of people playing the game stopped.

As if sensing something, the old lady holding the candlestick slowly raised her head and looked in the direction of the windowsill where Qin Yu was.

"Xiao Yu." At this moment, the voice of her mother Qin Peihan came from outside the door.

Qin Yu regained consciousness at this time, and tiptoed over to open the door in fear: "Mom, aren't you sleeping so late?" ”

"I can't sleep," Qin Peihan walked into her room and closed the door with her backhand, "I don't know what the situation is in the building opposite, I can hear the sound of singing every night in the middle of the night, it's really infiltrating, it's a shame that you live here." ”

"My brother is about to be in his third year, so he can't let these sounds affect his revision and rest, right? I don't care, it's just that my sleep quality is getting worse. Qin Yu sighed, trying to forget the strange picture he had just seen.

Qin Peihan patted her hand distressedly, and stepped forward to sit on the side of her bed: "Xiao Yu, you have become a big girl in a blink of an eye." Now that I'm about to graduate from college, there are actually some things that my mother has wanted to tell you for a long time. ”

"Mom, if you have anything, just say it." After Qin Yu poured her a glass of water, she also sat on the bed.

"When I was younger, you always asked me why Daddy showed up when you were three years old. In fact, over the years, you have also guessed the reason, right? Qin Peihan said self-deprecatingly.

Qin Yu nodded and did not make a sound.

"Xiao Yu, your current father is not your biological father," Qin Peihan said directly, "Your real father has long since died." ”

"Mom," Qin Yu interrupted her in a loud voice, "I heard your conversation as early as when I was very young. It's just that my dad is very good to me now, so I don't want to mention your heartbreak. ”

Qin Peihan looked at her for a long time, and touched her head lovingly: "I should have thought that you understood it in your heart, but you just didn't say it." ”

"For so many years, if you and my father hadn't raised me, I wouldn't have the life I have now." Qin Yu said calmly.

"Xiao Yu," Qin Peihan stopped her, "Do you want to know how your biological father left us?" ”

Qin Yu nodded decisively: "Yes." ”

"Then I'll ...... Let me tell you a story. ”

"Okay."

"Twenty years ago, I was working as a doctor on an island in Jiangcheng. And your biological father, Qin Zhize, is the only tower keeper on the island. He and I met in the lighthouse during a storm, and we knew each other and fell in love. Your father is an upright man. Unfortunately, he died in a storm in the end. Later, I was pregnant and came to Guicheng several times. ”

"Tower Keeper?"

Qin Yu's eyes widened in disbelief.

This profession is something she occasionally sees on TV and in the newspapers, but it doesn't often appear in her life.

Unexpectedly, her biological father turned out to be ......

"So Xiaoyu, you have to be proud of your father. But again, you have to cherish your life now. When you graduate and work, your mother also wants you to be an upright child. Qin Peihan patted her daughter's hand earnestly.

Qin Yu replied solemnly: "Don't worry, Mom, I will." ”

"Well, then I'll go rest first," Qin Peihan got up from the bed, and was about to open the door and walk out, when he didn't know what he thought of, he turned his head and said to Qin Yu, "By the way, the building opposite us was a funeral home before." When you go to bed at night, remember to draw the curtains. ”

Funeral parlor?

Qin Yu's face changed, and he just wanted to call Qin Peihan.

In the next second, the building opposite suddenly fell silent.

The sound of singing stopped.

And Qin Peihan also left her room.

"Little girl...... You are...... Looking for me? ”

Suddenly, an old grimace appeared by the window.

The dim light flickered and shone down, and the two blood-white eyes on the grimace stared directly at Qin Yu in the room.

Qin Yu screamed "ah" and woke up from his dream sweating profusely.
