Lao Mo bought a duplex house on the top floor of Building 3 in a high-end community. After the decoration was completed, Lao Mo and his family happily moved to their new home.
Just after moving, Lao Mo unexpectedly got an opportunity to study in the United States. After bidding farewell to his beloved wife and young daughter, Lao Mo boarded a flight to the United States.
Half a year later, Lao Mo returned home. After knocking on the door for a long time, no one was home. I originally bought a lot of gifts to surprise my lover and daughter, but now I am very disappointed.
Lao Mo called his lover Ali. It took Ali a while to answer the phone, as if she was a completely different person. After listening for a long time, Lao Mo finally understood that Ali and her daughter were not living at home now, but had moved to her parents' home with her daughter. Lao Mo was very surprised that Ali couldn't live in a spacious and bright house, so why did she insist on squeezing into the mother-in-law's two-bedroom and one-living room?
Lao Mo hurried to his mother-in-law's house and found Ali looking haggard, her beauty faded, her complexion sallow, and her speech and behavior somewhat neurotic. The unfinished Chinese medicine on the table was still steaming. From Ali Shen's narration, Lao Mo knew the whole story.
After Lao Mo went to the United States, Ali happily detailed the interior decoration of the new house. After years of hard work, Ali was ecstatic to be able to live in a duplex house.
On an autumn night, it was raining lightly and the wind picked up. Ali got up and closed all the windows in her house, then she hugged her daughter and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Ali was awakened by whimpering cries. The crying was getting louder and louder. It was the cry of a baby. It was heartbreaking and heartbreaking. Ali was a little indignant. She wondered whether this neighbor she had never met would become a mother. She didn't care whether the child was crying like that!
In the morning, Ali made up her mind . As a mother, she summed up a whole set of experiences in raising children. She considers herself to be very good at raising children. She raised her four-year-old daughter single-handedly. The child is smart and healthy and rarely gets sick. She was ready to teach this unfit mother a lesson.
The building has two units on one staircase. She knocked on the security door opposite and saw an old couple with gray hair preparing to go out. Ali asked if they had a grandson at home, and the old couple gave a firm answer. They only lived in their house, with no outsiders. Ali took two steps up the stairs suspiciously, and suddenly realized that she lived on the top floor.
Is it the neighbor's child downstairs who has been crying all night? Ali took the elevator downstairs. Seeing the situation downstairs, Ali suddenly felt that the hairs on her hair stood on end.
The two houses downstairs were obviously unoccupied because there were no peepholes on the security doors and the doors were covered with dust. Looking through the small round holes in the doors, the houses were still rough.
Ali returned home and closed the door tightly, feeling chills all over her body. The neighbor's situation was already very clear and there could be no small children. Could it be that the baby's crying all night last night was her hallucination?
At night, after she put the child to sleep, she sat on the sofa in the living room. At midnight, the wind picked up again, and a baby's cry became louder and louder, heartbreaking. Ali was like crazy and closed all the curtains, but she still couldn't stop the baby's cries from desperately piercing her ears. She held her daughter tightly in her arms, fear filling her entire nerves.
Ali didn't sleep all night and was very depressed. She told her best friend A Hong about the situation. A Hong was a very enthusiastic and well-connected person. Soon A Hong called her back and asked her not to go anywhere and wait at home.
A Hong brought a middle-aged woman in strange clothes. A Hong introduced that this was a capable person in their hometown village and a goddess who specialized in exorcising ghosts. Ahong specially drove 50 kilometers from her hometown in the mountains to invite her. It is said that she is very good.
A Hong learned from a friend of a friend that several old graves were discovered when the developer was digging the foundation of Ali's house. The developer quietly moved the old graves out of fear of affecting sales. A Hong judged that the midnight cries of Ali's family should be caused by the ghosts who have not left.
Seeing the strange movements of the goddess and the paper dust on the ground, Ali felt heartbroken. After the ritual was completed, Ali gave the goddess 500 yuan as a reward.
At night, although Ali was very sleepy, she did not dare to sleep. The sound of the Six-Eyed Demon God passed through the night without incident. Ali is very grateful to A Hong.
A week passed without incident, and Ali gradually relaxed.
Another rainy night, the wind picked up, and the heart-wrenching baby's cry sounded again, and Ali's spirit almost collapsed.
The next day, Ali packed her things and ran out of the door as if running away. When I arrived at my parents' house, I was always in a trance and kept talking, which made my mother very sad. She took a lot of medicine but couldn't get better. In order not to affect Lao Mo's studies in the United States, no one told Lao Mo the situation at home.
Lao Mo didn't believe in that evil. One rainy night, when the wind blew up, he came to his new house alone. A shrill cry of a baby sounded. Lao Mo could bear it at first, but later he felt his scalp was numb and his hair stood on end when he touched it.
Hu Hanlin is a 65-year-old ancient architecture expert and Lao Mo's old friend. After hearing what happened to Lao Mo, he thought for a moment and then smiled without saying anything.
They borrowed a large-magnification telescope and went up to the building opposite Lao Mo's house. In the upper right corner of the facade outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window of Lao Mo's living room, they discovered a deep hole the size of a wine glass.
Hu Hanlin explained that the hollows on the building facades will make many strange noises when the wind blows, which is especially common in ancient buildings that have been in disrepair. The situation in Lao Mo's house is probably due to the fact that the windows were not sealed tightly when they were installed.
After the developers patched the bug, the midnight cries disappeared.
