I'm a sophomore in the School of Engineering. I'm good at everything else, but I'm a little timid. Several classmates in the same dormitory always played cards at night and affected my rest. I was very worried and planned to move off campus.
That day I saw a note on the school's advertisement board. It was written by a female graduate student named Wang Xiaomei from the Department of Water Resources. She said that she rented a two-bedroom house in the suburbs to quietly write her thesis and wanted to find a place in the school. A boy shared a house with her on the condition that he abide by the rules and be physically strong.
As soon as I saw that I was right up my alley, I hurriedly called Wang Xiaomei, and the two met at the agreed place. My height, weight, appearance, and temperament all met Wang Xiaomei's standards. Looking at Wang Xiaomei again, except that her eyes look a little straight, she is no different from other girls. It may be because she uses her eyes too much when writing papers. The two of them agreed that I would move in tonight.
In the evening, I carried my luggage and came to Wang Xiaomei's residence. This is an old-style two-story building surrounded by a large pond.
After explaining the general situation to me, Wang Xiaomei went into the back room, locked the door, and continued writing her thesis. I lit a dim lamp in the outer room and read a book. It was quiet all around. Only the leaves outside the window rustled, which gave me goosebumps.
After a while, I went to the toilet. This toilet is in a public area and has only one squatting position for both men and women. It was so dark inside and outside the toilet that I couldn't see my fingers. I searched for a long time but couldn't find the light switch. I had no choice but to fumble my way in. The autumn wind outside blew a few pieces of paper on the toilet window rattling, which immediately reminded me of the ghost stories I had heard when I was a child, and I couldn't help but feel creepy. I was extremely cautious, for fear of making noise and attracting ghosts.
After using the toilet, I went back to the room and read for a while, and was about to go to bed. Suddenly, there was a "squeak" sound, and the door to the back room opened, and Wang Xiaomei came out. She walked quietly through my room and went out. . There was no expression on her face, as if I didn't exist. When she went out, she brought in a gust of cold wind, which made me shiver. At this moment, Wang Xiaomei in the toilet let out a scream of "ah–". This sound sounded particularly loud in the middle of the night, and I was so scared that I sat down on the ground. how? Encountered a ghost on the first night? I quickly took off my belt and held it in my hand as a weapon. Everything returned to calm. Just when I was at a loss, Wang Xiaomei came in. She rubbed her eyes like a normal person and said to me, "It's late, it's time to go to bed!" Then she went into the back room and locked the door with a bang.
Just like this, for several days in a row, every day. The autumn wind was rustling outside the house, and Wang Xiaomei's screams were heard in the toilet. The sound was so heart-wrenching to hear at night that it kept me awake all night. I wanted to ask what happened, but Wang Xiaomei was busy writing her thesis and didn't talk to me at all. I went to the campus hospital to see a psychiatrist and asked, "Doctor, if everything is normal for a person, but he always screams for no reason at night, what is wrong with him?" The doctor said, "Can you be sure? Isn’t there any reason?” I said, “Yes.” The doctor said, “What’s the point of asking? He’s mentally ill!” Ah! Living with a mentally ill girl? I just felt a cold feeling in the groove of my back spine. After I got back, I wanted to test Wang Xiaomei's intelligence, so I knocked on her door. Wang Xiaomei opened the door and asked, "What's wrong?" I hesitated and said, "There were nine birds in the tree, and a hunter shot down one. How many are there in the tree?" Wang Xiaomei stared at me for a long time, said, "Psycho!" and then closed the door with a bang.
God, there must be something wrong with this Wang Xiaomei. What if she had an attack one day and framed herself? I decided to move out of here as soon as possible.
This was my last night living in this building. I packed my things and prepared for a showdown with Wang Xiaomei early the next morning. In any case, I was determined to leave! At midnight, I felt sick in my stomach and needed to go to the toilet! I got dressed and entered the toilet quietly. At this time, the bathroom was eerily quiet. Not long after, a strange sound rang in my ears, and it got closer and closer. My hair stood up straight, and my legs were so weak that I almost fell down. Suddenly the sound stopped on my face. It took me a long time to regain my composure. I felt like it was a big mosquito. Are there still mosquitoes in autumn? I rounded it up and slapped myself on the face! Huh? A miracle happened!
Suddenly a bright electric light came on on the roof, ha! It was so bright that I couldn't even open my eyes. I squinted and saw a piece of paper taped to the small wooden door of the toilet in front of me. On it were neatly written a few words: "Don't shout, save money." Electricity, thank you for your cooperation!”
