Turning around suddenly, there was a slouched old man standing behind him. His skin looked sickly pale as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time.
The eyes were so big that they almost seemed to fall out. The crow's feet at the corners of the eyes were very deep, and the disheveled hair had not been washed for an unknown amount of time, giving off an unpleasant odor.
He was very thin, as thin as a skeleton of dry bones, and he was holding a swaddle in his hand, which was bulging as if a child was moving.
"Who are you? What are you doing standing in front of my house?" The high-pitched voice sounded a bit like a woman's, but it was always a sign of a man's lack of energy.
He looked at me quite warily.
My heart almost jumped out of my throat.
People are scary, scary to death. How can a normal person blow behind someone's ear before speaking?
This man is not that old. He doesn't look like Xu Shiyu's grandfather. Is this her uncle?
My eyelids twitched slightly, and just when I was about to speak, Xu Shiyu stood up.
She pursed her lips and looked directly at the old man, her voice a little cold.
"Uncle."
Then she introduced me: "This is my uncle, Xu Damin."
Xu Damin was surprised for two seconds, and then there was an intriguing smile on his face.
"Shiyu, you haven't been back for many years. You are getting more and more beautiful. You finally remembered to go home."
Xu Damin's tone was less sharp, but still a bit girly.
"Is this your partner? Come inside and sit down. Your grandfather and I were talking about you two days ago."
He looked me up and down again before walking to the front and opening the door.
Xu Shiyu shook her head gently at me.
I understood what she meant and didn't say much.
The main thing is to see the corpses of her parents and see if there are any problems with her grandfather and uncle. There is no need to waste time explaining.
But I also have some doubts in my heart, why is Xu Damin holding a child?
Logically speaking, there is only one old man in their family, and he is an old bachelor, and Xu Shiyu has not heard of anyone else.
Subconsciously, I looked down at the enamel bowl again. There are black and red mottled marks on and around it, all of which are blood stains over time.
There was a creaking sound and the courtyard door was pushed open.
Xu Shiyu called me softly, came over and took my arm, and pulled me into the yard.
My body stiffened slightly and then relaxed.
There were no lights in the yard, and the light came from the open door of the main room. There was a three-story shelf inside, with many candles lit, and the faint light flickered.
After entering the courtyard, I felt even colder all around, as if there were people secretly staring at me from all around.
Especially the feeling of coldness on my back is stronger, and there is an uncontrollable feeling of irritability in my heart. Even I feel this emotion inexplicably.
This haunted house with hidden arrows and murderous people is really something special!
"Uncle, grandpa should be sleeping, right? It's so late, so don't wake him up. My partner and I will stay at home for the night. I have something to talk about tomorrow, so why don't you go and rest first?" At this time, Xu Shiyu He spoke softly.
Xu Damin turned around, glanced at Xu Shiyu and me, and said, "Your grandpa is probably already asleep. He is too old to shout. You can just take a nap at home first."
Xu Shiyu lowered her head and stared at the baby in Xu Damin's arms for a few seconds.
Xu Damin took two steps back and smiled again: "The neighbor next door is drinking, so I want to help you hold the child and send him away tomorrow."
He turned around and entered a room next to the main room.
But I felt that something was wrong everywhere. Xu Damin looked too gloomy. How could anyone ask him to help take care of the children?
But I can't cause trouble for no reason. Xu Shiyu lowered her voice and said softly: "When you fall asleep, look for the yard. My uncle has a bad temper and should talk as little as possible." Her voice was very low, except for me, who was a few steps away. Can't even hear it.
Then, Xu Shiyu pulled me into another room on the right.
She stretched out her hand and pulled it twice along the wall. The clicking sound was clearly an old-fashioned light switch. There are many such switches in rural areas now.
As a result, the lights didn't come on.
I took out my phone and turned on the flashlight. The room was simply decorated, with a bed against the wall, an old wardrobe, and a desk. There was a half-burned candle on top of the desk.
I went over to light it, and the lights came on in the house.
"Your uncle and grandpa have a habit of not using electrical appliances. I noticed just now that there are no lights in the main room." As I spoke, I raised my finger and pointed to the top of my head.
The ceiling of this old house is also in tatters, making it feel like it will fall down at any time. The lamp holder that was supposed to hold the lamp was empty, obviously deliberately not using a light bulb.
Xu Shiyu walked to the bed and sat down. She was silent for a long time, and then she answered: "Uncle and my grandfather are very strange in themselves. Now that they are older, they may become even weirder. Anyway, I will see my dad later." If Mom’s body is still here, you can see if they have any problems.”
"Bury my parents, and I will never come back."
"Yes." I nodded. In this house where people are shot in the dark, Xu Damin and Xu Shiyu's grandfather can live for such a long time. In addition, some neighbors said that they had seen Xu Shiyu's parents come out.
There is definitely a big problem here. If you can avoid causing trouble, try to touch it less.
"I guess they'll all be asleep in the middle of the night, and then I'll take you to my parents' room."
Xu Shiyu whispered again: "Would you like to lie down and take a nap?"
I shook my head.
Xu Shiyu stood up again and went to the window next to the door. She reached out and closed the curtain.
In this old-fashioned courtyard, the windows are next to the door, facing the courtyard.
In a daze, I felt my eyelids were a little heavy. I don't know why, but I feel really sleepy.
In my daze, I pinched myself. The stinging pain only kept me awake for two seconds, and the sleepiness became more intense.
I can't even lift my eyes, and I feel like I want to fall asleep.
This made me particularly frightened.
In this place, where can you say that you will sleep as soon as you fall asleep?
He bit the inside of his mouth fiercely and applied force, and his mouth was immediately filled with the smell of blood.
I suddenly woke up.
Xu Shiyu walked towards the bed in a daze at this moment. She fell directly on the bed and stopped moving with a bang.
This is hell, there must be something wrong in this house!
I was about to pull Xu Shiyu up and wake her up.
But suddenly I found that my foot seemed to be pulled by something.
It was so cold that my scalp felt numb.
What's under the bed?
I took a deep breath and lowered my head to look.
A pair of round eyes looked directly at me!
Suddenly, the candle went out, and the room suddenly became dark again!
I cursed in my mind, "Fuck, there's something."
In an instant, I couldn't see anything!
