Standing at the unexpectedly opened door, I was stunned for a moment.
There was a long and narrow corridor inside, it was dark and the light was very dim, so nothing could be seen clearly.
At the same time, the faint cry just now seemed to be a little clearer.
A gust of cool wind, mixed with a musty smell, blew out from the dark corridor behind the door.
I couldn't help but shudder.
I had no intention of going in because I didn't expect the door to open.
So now, should I go in and take a look to find out?
After hesitating for a moment, I made up my mind, silently asked the immortal family to protect me, and then slowly walked in with my feet on the ground.
Strangely enough, as soon as I walked in, the crying sound disappeared in an instant.
I held my breath and listened, and the sound was indeed gone.
I looked at the room again and couldn't help but frown.
This is really too shabby and shabby.
The hallway leading into the door is very narrow. There are a lot of messy things piled up on the side next to the door. In front of it is a simple stove made of wooden strips.
There was a dark broken pot on the stove, and a gas tank with peeling paint underneath. Next to it was a small room with two crooked switches at the door.
I tried to press the switch, and a blackened light bulb above my head lit up, giving off a dim light.
To be honest, it's almost the same if the light bulb is on or off, but it adds a bit of a weird atmosphere.
Walking further inside, there is a slightly larger room with a bed, a wardrobe against the wall, and a TV next to it.
There is no doubt that this TV is the most valuable household appliance in the house.
But this house ends here. It is only this big in total, only about twenty square meters at most.
Oh, by the way, there is a window in the house inside, and a small patio outside. It is actually a space surrounded by several houses, and it is only as big as a balcony. If you want to go in and out, you can only go through this window.
This is also the only light opening in this room.
But the faint crying sound just now has completely disappeared.
I looked around the room and didn't find anything special. Only a few bottles and cans placed next to the TV attracted my attention slightly.
There are several medicine bottles in here, and there is also a vase with no flowers in it, but a bunch of rags stuffed in it.
Next to the vase, there is a black porcelain jar. It is not big and can be held in the palm of one's hand. It looks quite old and has some vague patterns on it.
The mouth of the jar is not big and is open.
There is something wrapped in yellow cloth next to it, like a stopper at the mouth of a jar.
This thing made me couldn't help but stop looking at it, because I felt that compared with everything in this house, this jar seemed a little out of place.
But I couldn't tell what was wrong. I just looked at the jar and thought it was spooky.
At the same time, my face suddenly started to heat up, and a sense of crisis inexplicably appeared in my heart.
This is a sign of protection from the immortal family. Every time my face gets hot, it is the protection coming.
But this also shows that there is danger around me.
I quickly turned on the sensor, and immediately realized that something was approaching from behind!
The next moment, I immediately turned around and looked behind me.
Behind me was the window. When I turned around, I saw a little boy's face pressed against the glass, looking into the room.
This little boy had a very strange expression, and I was shocked when I saw him.
But there was nothing outside the window just now. Where did this thing come from?
At first I thought it was a ghost, but then the little boy reached out and knocked on the glass, as if to signal me to open the window for him.
I opened the window in confusion, and the little boy jumped in and made a face at me.
"Are you here to poop?"
This sentence made me confused. It was the first time I saw this way of greeting. I said what the hell am I doing? I was just passing by and came in to take a look.
The little boy laughed and said that his house was deserted for a long time. Because the neighborhood was far from the public toilets, some people often came to his house to use the toilet in order to save trouble.
Later, the neighbors were unhappy and locked the door of his house.
Only then did I suddenly realize that this is what happened...
Looking at the little boy again, there were two faint traces of tears on his face, so I asked him if he was hiding outside the window and crying just now?
The little boy said that because he had some trouble with his family, he climbed over the wall and jumped in. He hid here and cried for a while. Later, when he saw me coming in, he hid.
But now he encountered a problem. The patio outside the window was a bit high and he couldn't get out, so he knocked on the glass and asked me to help him.
It seemed like a false alarm. I thought it was haunted, but it turned out to be this kid crying here, which made me nervous for a long time.
So I asked the child if he knew the little Tao Laizhao from this family and if he knew where he had gone.
This kid was in his teens. He told me that he used to play with little Tao Laizhao a lot, but some time ago, little Tao Laizhao disappeared for no apparent reason. Adults said he couldn't live here anymore, so he left.
I'm a little disappointed. It seems that people here really don't know the truth.
But at this moment, the little boy suddenly said to me: "But I know that the adults are not telling the truth. If you want to know where little Tao Laizhao went, give me ten yuan and I will tell you."
Hey, this guy is quite interesting. Does this also come with a news fee?
Looking at his sly eyes, I didn't know whether what he said was true or not, but it was ten dollars, so I took it out and gave it to him without saying a word.
The little boy put the money in his pocket, and then whispered to me: "One day I heard an adult say that little Tao Laizhao was killed. His body was folded and hung on the beam. He died miserably. There’s a talisman attached to it.”
This is indeed true!
I quickly asked him what else he knew, and he continued to tell me that this matter was quite mysterious. It was said that the body was cremated on the same day and did not stay overnight.
And it was not made public, so it was handled quietly.
I wanted to ask more questions, but he only knew so much, because the adults said you are not allowed to mention this matter to others, just pretend you don't know.
Only then did I understand why the old man didn't tell me anything just now. It seemed that everyone knew about it and just kept silent.
After all, the child's death was so weird.
And I feel that there may be something else hidden in this matter, and maybe it has something to do with the people living around!
