Chapter 558 House (7)(1/2)
Shakai left the house with a gloomy face and without looking back.
He stood at the door, facing away from the closed door, and took a few deep breaths, but this action could not help calm his violent heartbeat.
Shakai felt that the problem was big.
According to the rhythm of ordinary horror films, ghosts make increasingly fierce moves, which means they become stronger and stronger and more angry. The next plot should be that there should be a supporting character who dies miserably, and then another supporting character dies, and another supporting character dies... Finally, it is time to the end, and see if the protagonist can survive. Regardless of whether the protagonist survives or not, the ghost will definitely scare the audience at the end or in the easter egg, and leave room for creative sequels to make money for the film and television company.
Shakai shook his head vigorously and walked downstairs quickly.
This is reality, not a horror movie.
There are such routines in horror movies, but there may not be routines in reality.
Besides, this ghost is his aunt. My aunt was so kind before she died, and after she died, she was only "ghostly" that she would be "unswallowed" out of the idea of caring about him and his sister-in-law. As long as he and Zhou Wenli get along well, it would be fine, right?
Thinking of this, Shakai paused and almost stepped on the empty stairs. He staggered and grabbed the handrail next to him with one hand.
With a sound, the palm of your hand hit the metal railing, and the sound echoed in the corridor hovered upwards layer by layer.
Shakai's palms were sore, and his heart felt like it was stuffed with cotton, which was so blocked.
It is not difficult to get along well with Zhou Wenli, but it is too difficult to meet my aunt's expectations. He must act. He doesn't have that deep feelings for Zhou Wenli. After getting along during this period, he has long discovered that the two of their personalities and preferences are also very different, not to mention the generation gap and emotional gap between them. It is easy for them to live in the same room, but it is impossible to be close to each other.
Sha Kai thought of some bad ideas. If Zhou Wenli is not in good health, he will serve tea and water and ask about her well-being, which should be satisfying her aunt? But Zhou Wenli is healthy and in great spirits. In this case, she asked him to serve tea and water and ask about her well-being... Sha Kai shivered. He has not been so attentive to his father, and he can't do it at all.
Shakai sighed, temporarily shook off those unrealistic thoughts, and was about to withdraw his hand holding the railing and continue downstairs.
His arm was pulled a little.
Shakai turned his head and saw that his hands were still stuck to the railing.
How...
Shakai frowned and saw the dilapidated walls and rusty railings of the old building, and gave birth to a bad premonition.
He tried hard again and finally tore his palm off the railing.
His palms were red, with black and green debris stuck to them, and his skin was tingling and painful.
Looking at the railing again, there was a clear palm print on the railing.
Sha Kai was breathing and secretly complaining that he was unlucky, so he could only lift his painful hand slightly and go downstairs.
Shakai found a hardware store in a row of small shops at the entrance of the community. The store also sells glass. After hearing Shakai explain the situation, he asked about the window size.
"Size..." Sha Kai was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had rushed out of the house and completely forgot about it.
"Are you from the community here? Are you an old house or a newly renovated house?" the boss asked skillfully.
"It's an old house, decoration... it should be from the past, it has never been reinstalled. It's just that kind of window." Sha Kai had an idea, took a step back, looked up at a row of residential buildings nearby, and pointed to the windows of one of the houses.
The boss left the store and looked up with Sha Kai at the entrance of the store, "Oh, it's the kind you installed when building a house. That's fine. There are ready-made ones in my store. You old houses are almost the same, and several families have come to me to change glass recently."
"It's all the glass windows that broke?" Shakai was surprised.
"Yes. The whole piece of glass fell off. This old-fashioned window will loosen over time. The sealant used to be bad, and it has been used for decades. Do you want to replace the glass? If the glass falls off and hits people, it will be miserable." The store owner started selling.
Shakai hesitated for a moment, "Put it over the missing piece first. Can you help check the others, boss?"
"Oh, that's fine. Just make up for it. It's not safe. After the weather is hot, the typhoon will come and it's dangerous. You've thought about it." The store owner continued to promote it.
Shakai refused any more.
Other thoughts popped up in his mind.
The window glass of Zhou Wenli's house fell off. Perhaps it wasn't her aunt who was angry, but an ordinary accident.
Thinking of this, Sha Kai asked the store owner about changing glass. It was just that the store owner's statement was a bit exaggerated and exaggerated. The store owner carried the glass and followed Sha Kai to the community. While answering Sha Kai's questions, he asked about Sha Kai's situation. The young man who knew that Sha Kai was not borrowing a house and buying a house was a little overwhelmed.
Sha Kai also understood at this time. The boss said that "several households have asked me to change glass recently" was just a casual lie. The glass that was smashed by children during the summer vacation was the main source of his business. He just told Sha Kai that it was just to sell a few more pieces of glass.
The two gradually fell silent.
Walking back to the residential building, Sha Kai opened the big iron door downstairs. After entering the building, he stood by the door and helped the shop owner pull the big iron door.
The shop owner entered the building and looked at the stairs, "Little brother, what floor do you live in?"
“Fourth floor.”
"Oh..." The shop owner sighed and took heavy steps.
Sha Kai was also a little embarrassed, and followed behind and helped the shop owner lift the piece of glass.
"Thank you. Today, my wife and I were the only ones in the store. I was a young and strong man. I had not come back to my hometown for the New Year. Otherwise, I would not be able to carry this piece of glass with him."
"So long has passed in the Spring Festival, haven't you come back yet?" Sha Kai asked casually.
"Yes. His mother needs to have an operation. After the New Year, the hospital will do it, so he will stay in his hometown to take care of me. In a few days, he will come back." The shop owner said, and suddenly felt the power behind him tightening, which made him almost lean back. The shop owner quickly stabilized his body and turned to look behind him.
Shakai stood on the stairs, his face tilted, and his eyes fell on the railings next to him.
The shop owner looked at him and saw only ordinary railings.
The green paint is mottled, revealing the rusty metal below. If you smell it hard, you can still smell the rust in the air. In addition to the rust smell, the corridor is also covered with dust and oil smoke, and there is also a faint smell of moldy and rotting smell floating away. I don’t know which one is unethical, and the garbage is not thrown away in time, which makes the air quality in the corridor really terrible.
"Young man, what are you looking at? Why are you staring at?" the shop owner shouted.
Sha Kai's body was shocked and he suddenly looked up at the store owner.
The shop owner was frightened by his eyes and instinctively twisted his body, trying to retreat a little, but because both of them were carrying the glass, the distance was within this range.
Shakai's voice trembled, "Didn't you see it? There... there..." He gestured with his eyes.
The shop owner was nervous and looked at Shakai's gaze, but what he saw was still the ordinary iron railing.
"What did you see? Do you think of the bug? I have bad eyes and presbyopia." The shop owner explained, wondering.
In his opinion, this young man in the city would be so scared that he could only see the bugs.
Shakai's throat moved, his eyes wandering between the boss and the iron railing.
Can't this boss see it at all?
There were two bright red palm prints on the railing!
One, the size of an adult man, formed a fist shaking posture, like a painted palm and grabbed the railing; the other, thin, black in color, looked like a woman's handprint. The latter handprint was not complete, only half a palm and three fingers, and it looked like it was pressed above the adult man's handprint, holding the back of the adult man's handprint.
Sha Kai suddenly thought of something and hurriedly looked at his right hand. The hand that had grabbed the railing before still had rust and red marks on his palms, and half of the fingerprints that had not been before appeared on the wrist of the hand.
Shakai shivered.
He recalled the scene and imagined the woman he had not seen at the time. The woman grabbed his wrist, pressed the back of his hand, and locked his hand on the railing.
"Young man, are you okay? You...uh..." The shop owner was a little poor.
Shakai looked like he had some disease or mental illness.
The shop owner was a little scared and wanted to leave, but now he was standing on the stairs with Shakai, carrying a small piece of glass. Where could he go?
Sha Kai swallowed and shook his head.
"It's okay, let's go. Go upstairs." Sha Kai said, but his expression didn't seem to be fine.
The shop owner just wanted to press the glass quickly and leave immediately after collecting the money.
Shakai is full of worries.
When my aunt grabbed him at that time, did she want to do something? If you want him not to escape, or would you warn him that you would have no use even if you escaped from Zhou Wenli's house?
By the way, my aunt was originally staying at her own house. Now she can go to Zhou Wenli, so she can naturally go to other places and... she can always follow him...
Cold sweat broke out from Shakai's back.
Can he not be afraid if he is targeted by a ghost?
The first time he discovered his aunt, he was sweating in a cold sweat. However, at that time he didn't know that the ghost was his aunt, suspected that it was an evil ghost, and had worried about the safety of his uncle and his little cousin, and he also submitted articles to the Weibo account online... His mood at that time was a trembling mood and watching the excitement. The ghost was too far away from him and had nothing to do with him. It was just a strange experience of encountering ghosts. If something happened to his uncle and his little cousin, he might be worried and afraid, but that was just a fear of the evil ghost killing people.
Sha Kai was very calm about his selfish thoughts. Uncle Zhou Wenjun, little cousin Zhou Nuan, and Zhou Wenli, these three people are just strangers with blood relationships to him. Because of his growing up environment, he didn't have much affection for these blood relatives, so of course it was impossible to worry about their safety.
But when all this fell on him, the anxiety in his heart increased in a significant proportion.
Shakai walked through the stairs silently.
The shop owner was also very silent. When he arrived at the fourth floor, he saw that Sha Kai didn't say anything, so he asked which one it was.
Shakai took out the key and opened the door.
Zhou Wenli immediately stood up from the sofa and met the entrance hall, "Have you bought it? Hey, there is no need to change shoes, no need to change shoes. It's the window on the balcony. Please trouble you, master." She greeted the shop owner and pointed to the broken window.
The shop owner nodded and started working quickly, so he could skillfully install glass alone.
Zhou Wenli looked on the balcony and asked worriedly: "I don't know why it fell down, and a whole piece fell down."
"It's just that it's been a long time and it's loose. Don't worry, I'll install this piece and strengthen it for you."
"That's so thankful."
The shop owner didn't say anything about his sales pitch at this time. He just wanted to finish his work quickly, so he left.
Shakai lowered his head, slowly changed into slippers in the entrance hall, and came to the balcony.
He looked at the glass the boss was installing.
This glass is a little different from the glass next to the window. There are obvious fingerprints on the glass, which is left by him and the shop owner before lifting the glass. The center of the glass was covered with a layer of dust, which looked like it was not of good quality.
