"Dong dong dong!"
Lonnie walked to Zhang Ye's house and knocked hard.
After a while, the door opened, and Zhang Ye's head came out. After seeing that it was still us, an impatient look suddenly appeared on his face.
"What do you want to do?"
"Mr. Zhang, we are here to bring you drinks!"
Lonnie quickly handed over the bottle of red wine: "We brought a box of red wine this time, and we can't finish it anyway, so I'll give you a bottle!"
I also quickly said: "Yes, you see that you took us to see the house today, and I don't know if there is any delay for you. We can't bear it, so just accept it!"
He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling person. Seeing our attentive attitude, Zhang Ye's attitude softened. He took the bottle of wine and nodded lightly.
"Thank you very much."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to close the door. Lonnie quickly put her hand in and blocked the door.
"We will be neighbors from now on. We happen to have nothing to do today and would like to visit your house. Is that okay?"
Zhang Ye looked hesitant. He thought for a few seconds and finally pushed the door open.
"Of course, please come in!"
Lonnie and I looked at each other and followed Zhang Ye into the courtyard.
The farmhouse where Zhang Ye lives is no different from the other two. Even the furnishings are exactly the same. There seems to be nothing unusual about it.
It's just that the ground is full of dust and it looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a long time.
In the living room directly in front, the doors and windows were closed, and it was dark inside, with a faint musty smell emanating from it.
I know that houses that have been unoccupied for a long time often have this musty smell due to lack of air circulation, which allows mold to grow.
But Zhang also said that he and his girlfriend have lived here for more than a year, so why does it still smell like this?
"By the way, where is your girlfriend? Can you introduce her to us?"
I asked Zhang Ye calmly.
"She's sleeping."
Zhang Ye said calmly.
This is the reason again!
Why has his girlfriend been sleeping and refused to come out to meet anyone?
"Oh, I thought that we are so destined to be neighbors, why should we get to know each other? The weather is so nice now, how nice would it be to call your girlfriend out and let the two of us chat together!"
Zhang also hesitated for a while, seeming to think it was inappropriate to continue to refuse us, so he said, "Okay, then I'll call her."
He asked Lonnie and me to wait in the yard while he walked into the house and closed the door.
About ten minutes later, Zhang opened the door and walked out of the house. Behind him, there was a young girl!
The girl had sleepy eyes and her head lowered all the time. She came over and said hello to us, then stood behind Zhang Ye.
"I'm too sleepy. I need to sleep for a while. You can entertain the guests yourself."
After the girl finished speaking, she waved to us and walked back alone.
"My girlfriend is a bit introverted and is afraid of meeting new people. Don't be offended."
Zhang Ye said to us apologetically.
"It doesn't matter. It's a girl's house. It's okay to show off a little bit."
I waved my hand and said with a smile.
After chatting for a while, we said goodbye to Zhang Ye and returned to our farmhouse.
"I didn't expect that Zhang Ye really has a girlfriend. Could it be that we mistakenly blamed him?"
After returning to the room, Lonnie said with some confusion.
Lonnie's idea is not unreasonable. After all, we don't feel any evil spirit from Zhang Ye and his girlfriend. They look like an ordinary couple. Although their behavior is a little weird, overall Pretty normal.
"Ni, do you still remember what I just said? The more normal you act, the more abnormal it is!"
I still stick to my point of view, because when I was at Zhang Ye's house, I observed carefully that he and his girlfriend have always maintained a certain distance, and the conversations between the two parties were also a bit strange. No matter how you look at it, they don't look like a couple. What a couple should look like!
Moreover, the dust in the yard and the musty smell in the house all indicate that the farmhouse has been uninhabited for a long time. However, Zhang Ye said that they have lived here for more than a year, so there must be something fishy about it.
"Anyway, we still have to keep an eye on Zhang Ye and his girlfriend. We will definitely be able to find some clues."
Time soon came to night, Lonnie and I had something to eat and then returned to the bedroom.
According to the layout of these three farmhouses, the living room of Zhang Ye's family was next to our bedroom. I lay directly in the corner and listened carefully to what was going on next door.
Although the wall is solid, it is not thick. Logically speaking, I should be able to hear the noise coming from next door when I lie on the wall. But for some reason, Zhang Ye's house is quiet and there is no sound at all.
It was as if the two couples had disappeared out of thin air.
Reluctantly, I had no choice but to give up and take out the book "The Record of Ghosts" and read it.
"Xiao Chengzi, let's invite Zhang Ye and his girlfriend to our banquet tomorrow. We have to hurry up and investigate the details of this couple."
Lonnie sat aside and said to me.
I nodded: "It's a pity that I didn't bring too many ingredients with me this time. Let's go to a nearby town to buy some and bring them back tomorrow."
The night is getting deeper and deeper.
At midnight, I was swaying to sleep when suddenly, a voice came from next door.
"What ingredients do you need?"
I trembled for a moment and stood up immediately, recalling the source of the sound.
"What ingredients do you need?"
The voice came clearly again, but it didn't come from Zhang Ye, but from the uninhabited farmhouse on the right!
Lonnie and I stood up instantly, ran outside, and looked to the right.
The night was dark, with dark clouds covering the dome, and no moonlight could be seen. I could vaguely see a person lying on the wall of the farmhouse on the right!
His head was exposed outside the wall, and his hands stretched out, seemingly grabbing something in the air.
When he saw Lonnie and I coming out, the man shrank his head and disappeared in an instant.
Lonnie and I looked at each other and instantly climbed over the wall and fell into the farmhouse yard on the right.
The courtyard was quiet, without any movement, and everything was no different from when we checked during the day.
We scanned the yard, then searched the living room, bedroom, and kitchen, but found nothing.
Strange, who was the person we saw just now, and where was he hiding?
Originally, we only focused our suspicion on Zhang Ye on the left. Unexpectedly, a human head suddenly appeared in the uninhabited farmhouse on the right in the middle of the night, disrupting our line of sight!
"Xiao Chengzi, I have an idea. This is a good opportunity to investigate Zhang Ye and his girlfriend."
