Night Two Hundred and Thirty-Eight: Upstairs
Can't sleep late at night? Let's take a look at the story of the Netherworld! Close your eyes and start our story today, which is called "Upstairs"!
If everything in the world still exists after a long period of devastation, then no matter what it is, it will have a certain spirituality, and there will be some manifestations beyond common sense.
There are countless terrifying and strange events that have occurred in the old house, and one of them is believed to have been heard of and experienced by many people, that is, the sound of beads scattered on the roof of the house.
Later, there was a scientific explanation that it was because some of the building materials on the roof, due to time, began to slowly decay and become brittle, so these crackling sounds were made.
Therefore, the occurrence of some unbelievable things is actually a very normal natural phenomenon, and it is not a terrifying supernatural event, but what Zhang Xiaokai experienced this time should have really encountered a ghost!
That year, Zhang Xiaokai was only 16 years old, so he dropped out of school and went to work as an apprentice in a barber shop in the city, with a monthly salary of only three or four hundred yuan.
The houses in the big city are also more precious, saying that every inch of land is gold, without exaggeration at all, no matter who it is, it will not give up a good house not to make money, so Xiaokai's living environment, that is not ordinary and simple, go out under the fence, be able to eat a full stomach, and have a place to live in shelter from the wind and rain, which is already a very good treatment, Xiaokai's parents have also educated him since he was a child, and he is a master in the hardships, so Xiaokai is still relatively satisfied with the current living conditions.
When encountering any problems in daily life, Xiaokai will also encourage himself, as long as he endures this period of time and can learn the technique, he will not have to be angry in the future, so in the eyes of everyone, Zhang Xiaokai is a hard-working, hard-working and motivated good boy, where is such a person, even if he is not liked, he will not be too annoying.
Because Xiao Kai just arrived at the barber shop, many rooms have been filled, so he temporarily let him live in a small storage room in the barber shop, the space is very small, but most of the places are still full of all kinds of sundries, only one bed belongs to Xiao Kai, and less than two square meters of activity space.
There is only a small window in the room, and half of it is covered by sundries, and the room is stuffy to death in the summer, worried that Xiao Kai will suffer from heat stroke, the boss is still very generous to place a small electric fan in Xiao Kai's room, which can send him a cool when Xiao Kai is asleep.
However, this fan is not commonly used, not to mention the size of the wind, that is, the noise of the fan turning, which is not borne by ordinary people, as long as the fan is turning, you will never fall asleep.
The small storage room without a fan is like a big steamer, Zhang Xiaokai, who was lying on the small bed, couldn't sleep because of the heat, but he was really too tired, so he closed his eyes and lay on the bed tossing and turning.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaokai heard the ambiguous voice of a couple between the bed, sixteen or seventeen years old, already an age that knows everything, on weekdays in front of everyone, Xiaokai must be a good baby, but now that there is only himself left in the storage room, there is no need to pretend to be reserved.
His eyes were still too lazy to open, but he pricked up his ears, and listened carefully to the movement from upstairs, after a burst of sweet words, accompanied by a few strange laughs, followed by wheezing, and the sound of "popping" that gradually accelerated slowly, Xiao Kai began to make up that picture in his mind, and he was also wondering who these two people would be?
The owner and lady of the barber shop don't live here, only the two male masters of Xiaokai live here, and a few brothers and sisters, several of them have families and rooms, and the only one who is single is the little junior sister Li Xinrui and herself, this woman may be the little junior sister, but no matter who this man is, this is a morally corrupt thing!
Early the next morning, Xiao Kai got up early to make breakfast for everyone and clean up the barber shop for a living, which is also a daily must do.
Xiao Kai looked at the little junior sister's shy appearance very cute, but when she thought that she might do that kind of thing with someone else's married man last night, she couldn't help but feel a little disgusted with her, but she still responded very politely: "You're early, junior sister" and then continued to clean.
Xinrui picked up a rag, wiped the mirror, table and chair, and hesitated for a long time before asking, "Senior brother, did you hear anything last night?"
Xiao Kai guessed that this little girl must be testing herself, if she said that she heard it, then it was very likely to cause herself big trouble, and it was nothing to provoke this little girl, but the other one who was with her, she couldn't afford to be a junior apprentice.
So Xiao Kai replied: "I was so tired after a busy day yesterday, so I just lay down and fell asleep, and I didn't hear any sound, junior sister, what sound did you hear?"
"I don't either, I'm just just asking" Xiao Kai listened to Xinrui's answer, feeling a little funny, casually ask if there is such a question, this is obviously three hundred taels of silver here, so Xiao Kai smiled awkwardly, just when this matter passed, he heard Xinrui let out a long breath, and he could see that she was really worried that the good things she had done would be revealed.
A busy day passed quickly, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening, and finally everything was done, and you could lie on the bed and take a good rest, just when Xiao Kai was about to fall asleep, the voice last night came clearly to Xiao Kai's ears, Xiao Kai tried to let himself not listen, and sleep well, but those two ears were so disobedient.
"Brother Xiaokai, I think you still don't come to my room tomorrow night, how bad it would be if others saw us like this" That's right, this is Li Xinrui's voice, but he called the other party Brother Xiaokai, is this person the same name and surname as himself?
"It's okay, we're among them, no one will find out about us, as long as we're careful, we'll be fine!" After speaking, there was a gasping sound, and there was a "pop" sound, and the whole Xiaokai didn't fall asleep for a long time.
At this time, Xiao Kai felt some sand and soil fall on his face, turned on the light and looked carefully, and found that there was a small hole on the roof, at this time, the small hole continued to expand, and suddenly shattered into a fist-sized hole, and the two mice fell from the inside, and fell directly on Xiao Kai's small bed, without waiting for Xiao Kai to react, and jumped to the ground and ran away.
Xiao Kai told the barber shop owner that there were rats on the partition between the first and second floors, so the boss found someone to dig up the floor on the second floor, and found a photo of Xinrui and Xiao Kai from inside, which was already a little damaged, with some gray hairs on it, and mouse droppings.
