Xiao Hua is a junior girl who is studying at a university far away from her hometown. Some academic problems have been bothering Xiao Hua for some time before the summer vacation. She simply decided not to go home this summer. A classmate said that in a nearby town, there was a blind old woman named Yin whose nanny passed away not long ago and was in need of someone to take care of her. The salary was very high, but she had to live in her home. Fortunately, her house was large and convenient, Xiao Hua Zheng needed such an opportunity to study her homework in a quiet environment and make money at the same time, so she readily accepted it.
(Sound of train~~~)
Xiao Hua came to the small town at three o'clock in the afternoon. According to the written address, she successfully found Granny Yin's home. She could see that this was a once glorious big family with tall walls. The mottled appearance is not suitable for the solemn door
(Knock on the door~) Xiao Hua knocked on the door three times (old voice) "Come in~" An old voice came out.
Xiao Hua pushed open the wooden door. Ah ~ What a big yard, but overgrown with weeds. In front of the old-fashioned two-story building that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, an old lady was sitting on a chair, looking at herself with straight eyes. The old lady looked to be in her sixties, wearing a golden cheongsam. Her sallow face was wrinkled, but her hair was black and shiny. In her arms she held a nine-inch square wooden box.
"My name is Xiao Hua, are you Granny Yin?"
"Yes~ you are the girl they introduced to take care of me."
"Yes, I'm not talking about your eyes~~"
"Oh~ I'm blind, and I haven't been able to see anything for many years. Come here, girl, let me touch you." Xiao Hua walked over. She knelt down and raised her head. Granny Yin put the wooden box on the ground and touched Xiao Hua's face with her dry hands.
"Grandma Yin, where are your family members?"
"Hey~ let's go, let's die. I'm the only one left, a lonely old woman."
"What? You live alone in such a big yard?"
"Sister Li lived with me. She died last month."
"Then what do you need me to do?"
"Actually, it's nothing. Someone will cook all three meals. You just need to accompany me and wash clothes. You live next door to me. I won't bother you with too many things. But there is one thing you must do. Remember (Grandma Yin's face twitched, and her right hand pointed to the ground) You must remember… never touch this box (with a cough…)"
"Oh~~~~I remember, remember, remember"
"I knew they would find a good girl for me. You can help me wash this purple cheongsam after a while."
"What? You are wearing a yellow cheongsam~"
"What did you say? Yellow cheongsam" "Yes~" "Is there a big black flower on the chest?" "Yes, yes."
"I wore those after I died. Hey~ I'm blind, I can't see anything, and Sister Li is gone. It's really useless. I'm going to change clothes. Girl, please go to your room and rest~ I The one on the right"
Xiao Hua walked into his room. The room was full of old-fashioned furniture that was still neat and tidy, but there was a layer of dust. After cleaning, Xiao Hua lay on the bed and fell asleep.
It was already dark when Xiao Hua woke up.
"You're awake" a surprised voice~"Ah~~!!!"
Through the moonlight, Xiao Hua saw Granny Yin sitting on the edge of the bed. Under the moonlight, her useless eyes were staring directly at him. She still held the nine-inch square wooden box in her arms.
"You~~when did you come in?"
"Just come in. You're awake. I'll turn on the light for you."
As she spoke, Granny Yin put the wood on the bed, then touched the switch of the lamp along the edge of the bed and pressed it. The room was still dark, and the lamp was probably broken a long time ago. Xiao Hua didn't dare to speak, a sense of curiosity came to her heart. She looked at the wooden box close at hand, stretched her hand over, and she touched the wooden box. (Meow~)" A cat meowed in the grass outside the house. Xiao Hua hurriedly turned his head to look into the yard. At this time, Granny Yin stretched out her hand to hold her box.
Her hand was about to touch Xiao Hua's.
"Take your hands away!"
"Ah~~"
Xiao Hua was startled. She saw Granny Yin snatching away the box as if she were robbing treasure. Her eyes were still staring at her, and her sallow face was full of vicious expressions.
"Ah~ No, no, I didn't mean it. Really, I didn't mean it."
"Girl~"
Granny Yin had a free hand to touch Xiao Hua's face.
"The bed you live in was used by Sister Li during her lifetime. Sister Li has taken care of me for more than thirty years. We are like sisters. After she left, I came here to sit here every night. This box contains The things that belong to Sister Li will make me feel uneasy if others touch them."
"Oh~ that's it"
"The food is in the kitchen, go and eat it yourself"
After saying that, Granny Yin got up and left holding the wooden box.
Maybe she slept too much in the afternoon. Xiao Hua couldn't fall asleep lying on her bed that night. At one o'clock at midnight, she just felt a little sleepy.
A sad cry~~"Yeah~Yeah"
This was definitely not a dream. Xiao Hua was completely awake. The crying came from next door. It was Granny Yin who was crying. Xiao Hua got out of bed tremblingly. She walked out of the room and came to Granny Yin's house. She looked inside through the window. There was a wooden box on the table under the window. Grandma Yin was kneeling on the ground and crying. Oh, poor old lady, Xiao Hua thought, and she moved her gaze to the wooden box.
What exactly is inside?
"come in"
"Ah~~"
Xiao Hua saw Granny Yin kneeling on the ground and straightened up, with a sallow face facing him. Xiao Hua had no choice but to reluctantly walk into Granny Yin's house.
"I have long heard that you are outside. Today is the 7749th day since Sister Li passed away. She left at this hour forty-nine days ago. I pay her respects to her, for fear of disturbing you. You go back to sleep quickly."
Xiao Hua walked out with full of doubts. That night, she couldn't sleep no matter what. She was thinking about a more serious problem than the box. Is Granny Yin a blind person? It felt like nothing could escape her eyes. , how could this old lady hear herself outside through a window? It's incredible.
In the next few days, Xiao Hua and Granny Yin got along well. Granny Yin still never left the wooden box. This old lady didn't like to talk much. Most of the time, Xiao Hua did it silently, but after all, she The mystery of whether he is a blind person has always lingered in Xiao Hua's heart. Xiao Hua always felt that this house and this old lady were strange.
Today is July 14th. At about one o'clock in the middle of the night, the sad cry came from Granny Yin's house again. Xiao Hua had already expected that she was not wearing shoes, so she opened the door with the lightest movement. , she quietly came under Granny Yin's window, (sound of crying~) She secretly listened to the movement inside, "Come back~Sister Li~Come back~wuwu~" After a while, the crying became softer, Xiao Hua When she heard Granny Yin open her door, she knew that Granny Yin had to go to the toilet, otherwise this old lady would also have the habit of getting up at night. Xiao Hua ran as fast as he could to the grass not far away and started to cat. The path beside the grass is the only way to go to the toilet. Xiao Hua saw Granny Yin walking towards him on crutches, getting closer and closer. Just when Granny Yin was about two meters away from him, Xiao Hua suddenly stretched out the wooden stick that he had prepared long ago from the grass. It kept shaking in front of Granny Yin. Obviously, the appearance of this wooden stick did not cause Granny Yin to pay any attention to it. She still walked forward mechanically with her crutches, just as Granny Yin's crutches were about to touch Xiao. When Hua was on the stick, Xiao Hua quickly took the stick back. Granny Yin went to the toilet. She must be blind. Xiao Hua was convinced. She hurried to Granny Yin's room. She came to the box. She looked at it carefully, then touched it, and finally she dared to pick up the box. It was so heavy, and it seemed like something ball-like was rolling inside. what is it then? Could it be that Sister Li’s thing is a human head? ! !
"Cough cough cough~" There was a coughing sound from outside the door. Granny Yin came back. Xiao Hua quickly put the wooden box on the table, and then she retreated to the corner and huddled there. Xiao Hua didn't even dare to take a breath. She knew that Granny Yin had very good ears, and Granny Yin walked in. "Ahem~~"
"Sister Li, I won't close the door tonight. If you want to come back, just come back. I'll wait for you to cough~~" Granny Yin was nagging as she walked towards the bed. As expected, she didn't close the door. Xiao Hua was determined to In the corner, she widened her eyes and watched Granny Yin passing in front of her. Granny Yin's straight eyes were mechanically facing forward without blinking. Xiao Hua could almost hear his own heartbeat. Granny Yin walked to the bed. While the little rabbit was sitting there , she slipped on the bed, turned off the light and lay down. She actually turned off the light! ! !
Xiao Hua's head was buzzing. Is she blind? Why hasn't she noticed such a phenomenon for so many days? The lights in this room are always on at night, and when it's time to sleep The lights in the room went out again. Is she blind? Could it be that she could clearly see him in the room? Xiao Hua didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she just figured it out without further ado. Xiao Hua picked up the box and walked quietly out of the house.
"Come back~ Come back~ Sister Li, Sister Li, come back~ I'll wait for you~ Sister Li~~" Xiao Hua couldn't care so much, and almost ran out of the house, "Sister Li, come back~ I'll wait for you. Waiting for you~"
Xiao Hua's mind went blank. She ran madly to the back garden holding the wooden box. Xiao Hua picked up a stone next to a dry well. With his eyes, Xiao Hua smashed the lock on the wooden box with all his strength. Just when she was about to reach out and open the lid of the wooden box, "Meow~" a big black cat jumped out of the grass. It flew across the sky above the box, and its front paws just opened the lid of the box. Lid, at that moment, the black cat fell silently into the box and became motionless.
Xiao Hua was stunned by the sudden scene. After listening for a few seconds, Xiao Hua plucked up the courage to put the black guy on the ground. She saw a dagger pop out of the box. It penetrated deeply into the black cat's belly. Xiao Hua, who was still in shock, cast his gaze inside the box.
It was the huge diamond, shining brightly in the moonlight, and there was an envelope next to it. Xiao Hua opened the envelope. Inside was a text message and a photo. The fonts on the letter were vigorous and powerful under the moonlight.
"Hello:
Now that you have opened the box safely, it means that my daughter has told you the correct method. You must be the closest person to my daughter, who lost her sight in an accident when she was five years old. She needs love very much. She must take good care of her without you. The diamonds in this box can be enjoyed by both of you. bless all of you. "
Xiao Hua looked at the photo again. There was a middle-aged couple, with a girl of twelve or thirteen years old in the middle. Her round face was so cute. This must be Granny Yin. Oh~ What a pity~ I just closed my eyes tightly.
With your eyes closed? Isn’t Grandma Yin blind when she opens her eyes? If she's not Granny Yin, then who is she? At this time, a wooden stick slammed into Xiao Hua's back…
Two days later, when Xiao Hua woke up, she was lying in the hospital in the small town. She didn't want to recall too much the thrilling scene of her fight with the Yin Granny two nights ago. Now she only cares about two things. The first is to give the big black cat a good burial because it saved his life. The second is to go to court quickly and use 100% evidence to accuse the old lady, Sister Li, who killed her owner and turned into a yin mother-in-law.
Okay, this is the story of the "box" I want to tell you.
